Edge eyed his girlfriend with concern as she stepped past him after a kiss. His hand went up to his cheek, and he could still feel the softness and warmth of her small, dainty one where she'd placed it while they'd been kissing.
It was with a heavy heart that he watched her leave for her match with Molly - who had practically snapped Christian's head off for making such a fuss at her competing tonight.
When the two divas were gone, Christian eyed his brother incredulously.
"Why'd you let her go out there?"
The taller man raked a hand through his long blond locks. "She's a big girl, Christian - it's not like I could have stopped her," he replied.
"Yeah, but the real question is - how big is she gonna get?"
Edge gave his brother an annoyed look. "Come on - do you honestly believe that if that was Lita's test that Bubba showed us - and she knew she was pregnant...that she would actually go out there, and..." The Canadian fumbled on his words, too ticked off with the other man to finish his thought. And the truth was, even though he knew what he'd just said was true - the redhead would never wrestle and therefore endanger herself or their unborn child if she believed for one second that she might be pregnant - he couldn't shake his feeling of unease.
"Oh," Christian said. "I guess you do have a point there. At least I have the peace of mind knowing it can't possibly be Molly, though - damn, she's acting bad enough for two months worth of P.M.S.!" He shuddered.
The other man shook his head knowingly, fully understanding where he was coming from. "When Lita gets like that, I try to stay out of her way."
Edge thought for a moment before speaking again. "Hey, come to think of it..." His green eyes suddenly grew wide as he looked his brother in the eye. "She hasn't gotten like that at all this month!"
Christian arched an eyebrow, his eyes widening a bit as well when Edge's mouth suddenly fell open.

"Bubba, I don't feel well..." Dawn Marie complained, a grimace on her pretty face. She clutched one hand to her stomach as she stretched out on the couch, laying her head on her boyfriend's cushy shoulder.
The Dudley Boy put his arm around the brunette. "Sweetie...with all you ate tonight, I'd be surprised if you weren't feeling sick..."
As Dawn snuggled up against him some more, Bubba Ray perked up a little at what he saw on the TV monitor in front of them.
Jackie was in the ring, her refereeing halter on, and Lilian was announcing the first competitor in the next match - Molly.
Dawn Marie shifted her eyes to the man's face as best she could in the position she was in. "This should be a good match..."
"Yeah...it should."
Next, the petite blonde ring announcer called out Molly's opponent for the evening - Lita. The redhead bounded out from the back, bouncing at the top of the ramp for a few seconds to her song, "It Just Feels Right," in her fluorescent green mesh top, glowing under the black light. Then, she ran to the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope.
Seeing these two women wrestling tonight, and even seeing Jackie in there as special guest referee did nothing to assuage Bubba Ray's fears. In his mind, it only cancelled out the three divas in the ring as being the future mother - and their respective boyfriends and fiance as the potential father...
He turned his head to gaze into Dawn Marie's face. The brunette didn't seem to notice his worry as she gave him a winning smile, followed by a moist kiss on the cheek.
