3 months after Mercedes' revelation of being pregnant

It had been quite the rainy day in Houston, Texas as a certain light purple haired beauty had been typing furiously on her computer while looking at maternity dresses and tips for an easy pregnancy. That woman was beautifully multi-faceted badass known as Mercedes Kaestner Varnado-Butler and even though she was plenty hot as a normal person, somehow she seemed to have been acclimating to maternity leave pretty well though she had pining for her life back in the ring. Just then her hubby returned not only from the local Home Depot for some paint, a nearby Wal-Mart with the baby essentials and a Chinese restaurant because The Boss, well the baby had been craving takeout.

Trevion: Mermaid, I've got what you wanted; fried rice special with the shrimp and a couple of egg rolls; how's baby Vanessa holding up after three months.

Mercedes perked up and saw Trevion with his hands full in between the food, paint and baby crib while she smiled and got up to show her average sized belly which had grown exponentially in the three months she had been expecting. After kissing him on the lips she took the food.

Mercedes: Okay two questions; how's Vanessa's room coming and do you need me to help?

Trevion: You, my adorable wife can just relax; her room is coming along just fine, just have to build her crib, nursery and hook up a few baby mobile objects and finish painting her room and then it'll be smooth sailing from there on.

Mercedes: Oh okay, well what about your food; I can imagine you're going to be super hungry when all is said and done?

Trevion: Oh don't worry about it just put in it the fridge Mermaid; you could come and get a sneak peek on her room if you're feeling it? I would love a second opinion from the mother of my child.

He wiggled his eyebrows which earned a giggle from Mercedes.

Mercedes: You're so ridiculous but then again it's one of the best things about you sweetheart... sure I'd love see the masterpiece you've crafted for little Vanessa.

She would place her Chinese food on the new counter they had ordered a couple days, then intertwining her delicate hand with his strong yet very smooth hand as they walked into a once desolate and empty room that they had originally planned as an office room but changed course when they discovered they were expecting their first child together. The room had now a bookshelf with baby toys, baby books and a new baby monitor that way they could know if something was wrong with their bouncing baby girl when she arrived. Coated in bubblegum pink and aqua blue paint, the room had looked around 80 percent done. '

Mercedes: Oh my this is amazing and you've done all of this on your own?

Trevion: Well no, you did help with the paint job a couple weeks ago; I mean you got paint all over your belly and hands.

Mercedes: Oh God I was hoping you wouldn't bring that up, I had to get an intense scrub all on my hands and get new nails installed.

Trevion: Seriously?

Mercedes: Seriously I do not play about my appearance especially my freaking nails babe; most women don't like it when their claws are looking like Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob.

Trevion: Off the record, I'd think you be an especially sexy crab.

Mercedes as if on cue spat out her water and just laughed.

Mercedes: You're an idiot I can't with you!

Trevion: Just an idiot or....

Mercedes looked at him and she fixed the glasses he wore on occasion.

Mercedes: Okay you're a very rather sexy, smart and well built idiot.

Trevion: So a smexy idiot?

She giggled once again before she kissed him on his lips which tasted like that of raspberry lemonade.

Mercedes: Yes you're a smexy idiot?

Trevion then picked up the California native and placed on a nearby desk and they began making out passionately which earned a moan from the Boss.

Mercedes: Someone must be a little too hot in the pants when he already knows I'm pregnant.

Trevion: I've been meaning to ask, how are you feeling about this pregnancy business Mercedes? I know you've said you were open to having kids if you felt there was nothing for you in WWE but honestly you were having second thoughts because we're both still young and in the prime of our careers. Are you sure you're enjoying the baby as much you'd hope?

Mercedes looked at him with a little intrigue and then smiled.

Mercedes: Honestly the old Mercedes wouldn't want kids, at least not this early in my life but you know I kind of enjoying the fact I'm going to be a mother soon.... it's just a shame I've got to deal with Nessa's antics for six more months... I just hope the one thing I get out of motherhood is that our baby girl gets to see us perform when she's a bit older maybe at least two or three.

Trevion: Well you'd be at least 29 creeping into your early thirties and I'd still be at least 26 maybe 27 when she reaches that age at the very least. Meaning you'd be older than me.

Mercedes: What can I say I like my men young Chief.

Trevion then laughed heartily.

Trevion: Well hey I like my ladies seasoned but not too old; Seriously though I can't wait to meet Vanessa... being a father and husband has really taught me to be unselfish and protective for my ever growing family.

Mercedes: You're going to crush fatherhood sweetie just like you've been husband of the year so far. You've got months between Nessa arriving and working out any sort of return which I know you'll dominate as well.

Trevion then smiled lazily and kissed her as he then picked her up.

Trevion: Then let's show this pregnancy bullshit who really run it!

SIX MONTHS LATER...

Trevion had just wrapped up cutting the grass and setting up the backyard for the summer... Mercedes who had gained substantial weight during her pregnancy had continued to glow throughout her third trimester arrived with a pitcher of lemonade.

Mercedes: I hope you're ready to replenish that shredded dad bod you've got baby boy because I've got- OWWW!!

Suddenly a sharp pain rocked the Boss where she stood as the lemonade fell splat all over the ground. Trevion ran to her as he saw her clutching her stomach.

Trevion: MERCEDES?!

Mercedes: My water... I think it broke! Vanessa is on her way and I need the nearest hospital!!!!

Sure enough a puddle had leaked from her legs and began to form around her.

Trevion: Okay come on Mrs. Butler, I've got you.

Mercedes let her husband carry to her to their Land Rover which was packed with the baby essentials since the person known as Sasha Banks had a feeling their daughter would try to do something like this. After navigating through the Houston traffic they arrived at the same hospital where Trevion had his lowkey knee surgery and where Mercedes had gotten her ultrasound and help through maternity leave. Soon they were stuck in a spacious hospital room where she had been hooked up with various IV's and the works as her fellow Horsewomen peeped through to see a worried Trevion as they all hugged him.

Pamela: How is she holding up?

Trevion: Well she's been good for the most part; it's just Vanessa has been one impatient newborn.

Ashley: Mercedes? How you holding up kid?

Mercedes: I'm alright it's like Tre said, Nessa is just eager to get out of me and meet her aunts and godmother.

Just then her mother Judith tapped the door to alert her daughter she was there.

Judith: Hey hey gang I'm sorry I'm late; another client made an impromptu appointment and I was forced to stay behind. How are you holding up sweetheart?

Mercedes: Like I got stung by a hornet and someone bent a steel chair across my stomach.

Judith: It's okay little mermaid; How long have the contractions been separated Trevion?

Trevion: I want to say give or take they've been happening every twenty minutes; once again your granddaughter is just stubborn and doesn't care if she's hurting mommy.

As soon as he stopped talking however another contraction rocked her and unfortunately this time it caught Trevion as he held her hand.

Trevion: OOOH SON OF A CORNBREAD BABY!!

Mercedes: Are you okay?

Trevion put his hand up and showed what appeared a broken knuckle and dislocated finger.

Mercedes: Sorry Trevion...

Trevion: Come on babe I've dislocated my finger because of Pete Dunne; I think I can handle it... I'm going to find a doctor for us so he can deliver our child and then hopefully maybe relocate my finger and pop my bloody knuckle back into the place. A few hours later with a bunch of Mercedes sounding like a banshee and breathing, the noise had finally subsided as she had been looking at her peacefully sleeping newborn daughter and Trevion had returned with a hand cast.

Trevion: Did I seriously miss the arrival?

Mercedes: Unfortunately yes you did, but you can make up for it... Trevion I'd like for you to meet our daughter Vanessa Aurora Butler; Vanessa meet your father sweetie.

Trevion looked down on the newborn who had light brunette hair like her mother's natural hair color and beautiful dimples just like the both of them. He picked her up and she then opened her light hazel eyes.

Trevion: You know what Mercedes; how about you let me take over you've done enough work these past nine months, you need rest.

Mercedes kissed him on the cheek and promptly passed out in her hospital bed. He then looked at her Nessa as she smiled innocently.

Trevion: Well you've definitely got her looks question is do you have my temper?

Vanessa simply burped in his face.

Trevion: Yup you're definitely my seed; welcome home Nessa!

END OF CHAPTER EIGHTTEEN!
