"You didn't tell me you were coming. Oh my god.." The words seemingly got trapped in Saraya's throat, excitement was at an all time high right now as she beamed the biggest smile at her lovely girlfriend. April on the other hand, portrayed a cute little cheeky smile as she tilted her head to the side, hair falling to the side of her face. "Well what's the point in a surprise if I tell ya? Ya big goof!" She opened her arms up, and as soon as she did, Saraya sprinted over to her and hugged her. But April met her hug and jumped up into her arms, wrapping her little legs around Saraya's waist. The two didn't remember that they were in public right now, backstage at Saraya's work as a matter of face. Slowly they both realized exactly where they were and April climbed down, feeling a little too guilty..

April shuffled her little feet as she looked down, biting down on her bottom lip harshly as she felt really embarrassed that she had just done that at her girlfriend's place of work, "I'm sorry..I just, I was really.." "Don't even apologize, all ya did was hug me, wasn't like you requested sex from me or anything." April felt her cheeks light up and heat up almost immediately. She had her big 'Scream For Me' hoodie on as she buried her hands in the pockets as she looked up at Saraya with a dorky smile, "Well I guess you're right on that one pumpkin. Where'd Colby jet off to? He was just freakin' here..Little ninja vanished on me!"

Saraya hadn't even noticed that he left to be honest, he must have seen the two of them interacting and thought he shouldn't be here to be a third wheel. Nobody liked to be a third wheel, especially Colby. As Saraya looked around she saw exactly no trace of Colby whatsoever, he really must have hauled ass to let them have their moment together. "Huh..Must have left or something. I'm not sure if he has a match soon or whatever but he is a slippery one.." April watched as Saraya spoke, the more her cute little accent poured out of her lips the more she found herself..staring..and smiling at her.

"What are ya smilin' at? Do I have food on my face or something??" Saraya felt somewhat embarrassed right now, being unsure if April was staring at something on her face or just flat out staring. She ran her hands over her own face in a frantic little manor, "The hell??" She looked over at April who was laughing her little ass off right now. "No you big goon, I'm just admiring how goddamn adorable you are..Is that okay? Is that something I can do? Or do I have to put in for it.." April fought off the giggles so she could be clearer with her words as she noticed Saraya begin to blush like mad.

Finally Saraya fought through the blushing, and the speechlessness, "Well you might have to put in for it, little girl. I might need a warning so I don't look like a bloody idiot standin' here with this dumb face on.." She bit her bottom lip and looked around, the crowd of the backstage area had died down, so she had an idea, a very STUPID idea, but an idea nonetheless. "Wanna go back to my locker room? We can hang out..And talk..and..yea"

"Yea of course 'Talking' with you is my favorite thing to do in my free time. And don't little girl me in public, Raya. You know damn well what that does to me." April now was the one who had a hard time speaking and thinking of the correct words to even use right now. But that's okay, Saraya loved when April was speechless, made her feel accomplished and like she has a form of control over her. The two young ladies began to walk back to Saraya's locker room, but April had popped her hood up just to ensure that no one would recognize her. If she saw Bri back here? She'd absolutely be busted big time. "Remember the last time you surprised me at work? I got this cute little rock on my finger cause of it.." Saraya had been proposed to last time she was at work and April had surprised her, it almost was like every time she showed up to surprise her, it was met with an additional surprise. As if her presence wasn't enough, April always pulled something out of her bag of tricks and made it super special.

"I remember you cried, for two days straight. I also remember what happened after you stopped..Wink wink nudge nudge.." April playfully giggled as they got to the locker room, it was such an interesting relationship, April was so much smaller than Saraya was, but both of them traded off being the dominate person when it came to fooling around. But this time was different, with all the energy Saraya had, it was totally understandable if later tonight she was the one to take firm control over everything.

After both women sat down and looked over at each other, it was clear that something was on April's mind, there was something that she was keeping bottled up inside like a little fairy in a jar. Totally a Legend of Zelda reference, nevermind. Well Saraya was the first one to break the silence that was desperately trying to be broken, "What is it babe? What's on your little mind.." Saraya took one of her cold pale hands and cupped April's tiny cheek with it, she forced eye contact as April's eyes screamed for help. For some reason speaking what was on her mind was just so hard to do, which that in of itself was a hard thing to come by. April had no problem telling anyone what she thought or felt. That fact probably got her into more trouble than she would like to admit to anyone. Nevertheless, she was struggling, to speak and struggling on the inside.

"I just, I found out some shit this morning at the doctors that I wasn't really ready to hear..And I really, REALLY don't know if you are too." April finally managed to splurt out part of what had happened previously in the day. She wasn't ready to fully say what it was but it was Saraya's job to yank the dark thoughts out of her head as fast as humanly possible. "Of course I'm ready to hear it April. I love you, I love every little thing about you..Whatever happened this morning will change nothing and you damn well better know that.." Saraya's words were like music to April's ears, she loved being babied by Saraya, mainly because it was so opposite of who Saraya seemed to be on the surface, but I suppose that's what makes love great. You find out the true nature of people as soon as you factor in love.

April had to think about this long and hard, she didn't want to just blurt it out and make a huge mistake in doing so. Instead, she attempted to dance around it as long as possible. "I..just got told something that I really wasn't ready to hear..Bumps took their toll and I just..I need you to be strong with me here, alright?" She finally was getting around to it. Of course, the more and more April danced around it, the more and more fear set into her heart. Agony was beginning to set in on April's mind and her heart, it was such an odd, gripping feeling, like her heart was tightening, and as it did so it was tightening around spikes. Digging deep into her core. "I don't know what happened this mornin', but I know you had the whole..Lady doctor visit this morning, did they like, tell you something about your boobs or something?"

April cracked a momentary smile before it turning back to sorrow, she looked down and was sick of beating around the bush about it. "I took too many bumps..Apparently the way I took them now forever prevents me from conceiving..I am so sorry Saraya, please don't leave me I tried, I think there's surgery, I-I know you wanted a baby soon, and I-I did too..please don't go.." Panic immediately took hold over April's speaking as she grasped at both of Saraya's hands and held them as tight as she could. She was so fearful that Saraya would just up and leave her now that she knows a child is entirely out of the picture.

Saraya felt tears build in her eyes, for way more than one reason. She felt them build due to the fact that yes, the child she had dreamt about has now vanished into darkness. She felt tears due to April crying, and seeing how terrified she was over this. She also felt this of course because the pain she could visibly see April was in and there was not a damn thing she could do about it. Several minutes went by before she was able to speak, it was so hard for her to not just break down and cry over this. The fact that the baby could never happen was the least of her worries, this was just a topic that the two of them agreed on and were very adamant about. "It's alright April..please don't cry sweet thing. I..I did want a baby so badly..But I also am traveling all the time. what is it? Three hundred fucking days a year my ass is on the road or something?" She had to do her best to reassure April about all of this so that the night wasn't tainted with fear.

"When the time comes? I'll have the procedure done. Okay? I promise this changes nothing..It just wasn't our destiny to have it go down like this..I love you, April. Okay? When you asked me to be yours until the day we die, I accepted. Not a damn thing will get in the way. Not this petty fucking job, not a problem like this. Nobody and nothing will get in our way..Okay? Please don't you ever forget these words..fuck.." It was Saraya's turn to bust out with the crying, there was no stopping it, she hated crying and especially so in front of April for it in her mind showed extreme weakness. April took this opportunity to climb into Saraya's lap and turned her teary face towards her, kissing her very passionately and very weakly at the same time. April broke the silence after the single kiss was held for what felt like not enough time and whispered, "I love you..My British crumpet. Got that? Let's talk about this later..Now we should just get outta here before I pass out in your lap..Don't think you wanna carry me all the way home, now do ya?" April giggled and Saraya smiled through her tears, "Wouldn't be the first time..Angel Face.."
