Lovesick: Part 3

Scheming

(Nikki P.O.V)

Today was the day that I had finally gotten to take Tiffany home from the hospital since birth. Well, not exactly our home, but Brie and Daniel's house. Their home wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but it would have to do for now. We were gonna stay with them for just awhile. I didn't wanna be back at my place right now. I didn't want Tiffany and I to be all alone. And I sure as hell didn't wanna end up running into Dean. It was still his house too, so if I was at home, he would be bound to show up there at any point. So, this was the best way to avoid him.
Brie had came to join me on the couch as I had finally rocked Tiffany to sleep. First few days of being a mom were just absolutely beautiful, but also kinda restless. I expected to have plenty of sleepless nights when I was pregnant with Tiffany, but I didn't expect to go through all these sleepless nights alone once she was finally born. So far, I've been on my own while raising my daughter, besides having Brie to help out a little. My husband was supposed to help me with things like this and I honestly know that I'm still going to need him throughout her life. What I said to him back at the hospital was only out of anger but still, I did mean most of it. He hurt me and I wanted him to exactly how I was feeling. Exactly the same amount of pain he made me feel. So to do that, I decided to take Tiffany away from him. I know that I may regret doing that to him, but he deserves it. Plus, that doesn't stop me from finding a new man. Meaning, I could possibly find someone to help me raise Tiffany someday...and I just might already have somebody in mind.

"Where's Daniel?" I asked Brie as I looked over at her. "Oh, he's in the back room packing up for tonight's live event. Why do you ask?" Brie said. "Ohh yeah, the live event is here in Phoenix tonight. How convenient. I was wondering why you guys haven't left out yet." "Convenient? Why is it convenient?" Brie asked me. "Well, I was actually thinking about taking Tiffany over to mom's place, and going with you guys. I know that I shouldn't be doing so much, but since the show is here, I won't have to go and do so much because other Superstars are here as well." I said. "I don't really understand what you are tying to say, Nicole? What do the other Superstars have to do with you coming with us to the show?" Brie asked me. "Well, I was gonna go so that I could see someone but since the show is here, he can come to me." "Uhh...he? He who?" "Seth. Seth Rollins." I said to Brie with a slight smirk. "Why do you want to see Seth Rollins?" Brie asked yet another question. "Oh come on, Brianna! Think about it...he and I are in the same boat right now. Dean cheated on me and Paige cheated on him. I'm hurting and he's bound to be hurting too. So, if we got together, then everything we've gone through would be forgotten in an instant, because we'd have each other. Plus, I'd have a potential father figure in Tiffany's life. It all makes sense, Brie."

I explained to her and she just looked at me in shock, while shaking her head. "Nicole, do you hear yourself right now? Did you really plan this out and think that it could actually work?" Brie asked me. "Well, yeah. Why wouldn't it work? It may sound pretty stupid and highly risky, but it's worth a shot. Is it not?" "No, it's not. You don't know how Seth is feeling right now, what condition he's in, if he even wants to be in another relationship so quickly after a break up, and you don't even know how he feels about you. You aren't even sure if you guys are compatible. You schemed all this out like it could actually work out, when it could just end up being an epic fail." Brie said to me and I just shook it off. She may be right, but I won't know anything until I at least try it. Plus, Seth is hot, so why not go for it? "Brianna, I hope you and Daniel don't mind, but I'm calling Seth and inviting him over before the show starts. I need to have some kind of father figure in Tiffany's life and it starts with him." I said as I pulled out my phone. "You know what Nikki, I don't mind that. But listen to me, if you want a father figure for Tiffany so badly, then try giving her biological father a chance before you try to replace him so quickly. I just think what you're doing is so selfish, in a way, and it's a huge set up for failure. You're only thinking about yourself and maybe Tiffany too, but you didn't think about her actual Dad or if Seth is even ready to be a potential father figure." Brie said as she stood up and walked away from me. I know that sometimes my sister can be right at times...well okay, maybe she was right, but I still needed to at least try this. Here goes nothing.
