With Arms Wide Open
Cherish woke up next to Chris and smiled at him lovingly as he opened his eyes and stared at her. They just laid there next to each other for a few minutes, letting the special moment between them last until Jeff came bursting in and smiled followed by Matt, Ash, Rey, Gregory, Shannon, Amy, Adam, Alex, Eric, Gil, and Bob.
"Hey, guess what we did?" Ash said with a giggle and Cherish raised an eyebrow at them in wonder and looked to Chris.
"What did you guys do?" Cherish asked slowly and Amy started to squirm in Adam's arms with laughter.
"We called and asked if you could have an ultrasound and they said yes! You've got an appointment at three o'clock!" Ash said and Cherish's face went a little white.
"I haven't told Tito and I suspect all of you want to go with me." Cherish said as she looked at them seriously and they all nodded but put their heads down. Cherish sighed and then thought for a moment. "Alright, let me go get showered and dressed and find out where Tito's at and I'll go talk to him then, okay?"
"That's good, Cher, better now than never." Jeff said and Cherish nodded as she got out of the bed and walked into the bathroom. Everyone there waited while Cherish showered quickly and got dressed. When she came out she was wearing a tank top and a pair of shorts.
"Alright, so I found out where everyone is at and well everyone wants to go. Literally everyone. So I came up with a good plan to go ahead and have Tito over here and we'll leave and everyone will meet up at Christy's house, okay?" AJ said as Cherish looked at the group in understanding and nodded.
"Okay, so when will he be here?" Cherish asked as she looked at AJ and saw him smile at her in pity.
"Anytime now." AJ said as he stood and everyone followed after him as he walked to the door just as a knock was heard. He opened it to reveal Tito in a pair of jeans and a gray shirt.
"Good timing. We were just leaving." Amy said to him as he moved to let them leave and Chris stopped in front of him and held out a hand.
"No hard feelings, right man?" Chris asked him and Cherish smiled at them both as Tito nodded and they hugged briefly and then once everyone had left he looked inside at Cherish.
"Hey." Tito's voice was soft and Cherish could tell he was nervous and she smiled at him hoping to relieve the tension and he smiled back.
"Hey." Cherish replied back and Tito walked in as Cherish beckoned him in and they sat down on the couch.
"So, AJ told me that you have something really important to tell me. What is it?" Tito asked as he looked at Cherish and Cherish put her head down for a minute and breathed deep.
"I don't know how to say it so I'll just start with this. Remember back about four months or so ago when that thing happened?" Cherish asked him and Tito nodded with a worried look on his face as Cherish continued. "Well, I missed my period right after that and I went to the doctor not too long before I heard about my step-father's trial and well I'm pregnant."
"And it's my baby?" Tito asked with a little confusion mixed into his worried face and Cherish nodded in hope he wouldn't be angry or not believe her and put her head down. But she felt his arms wrap around her and she wrapped her arms around his waist in happiness as she began to cry. He stroked her hair as she began to cry and Cherish could feel Tito's tears on her neck when he shoved his head into her neck. She pulled her arms out from around his waist and stroked his hair as he cried.
"Thank you Tito for believing me and not being angry." Cherish said to him in a whisper into his ear and he nodded. After a few more minutes of crying, they both were able to stop and smile at each other.
"So, I helped create a life?" Tito asked her and she nodded and lifted her shirt to show her already growing belly and he smiled.
"Here, put your hand right there." Cherish said and she took Tito's hand and placed it right on her belly.
"When can I see it?" Tito asked in curiosity and Cherish looked at him with a smile as she held his hand on her belly and he moved his hand around.
"Well, turns out we got some very excited friends. They set up an appointment that is supposed to be in about an hour I think. You ready to go pick everyone up and go see what's in my stomach?" Cherish asked him as she put her shirt down and he nodded with a smile as wide as he could produce.
"Let's go. Come on." Tito said as she stood and they walked out and downstairs and soon was on their way over to Christy's house where everyone was waiting. As the two pulled in Cherish saw Sam jump up from his seat on the porch and ran inside. Soon everyone came out and Jeff and Matt leaned in Cherish's window and looked at her.
"Told you he'd take it fine." Matt said and Cherish nodded and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. She got out of the SUV and walked with Matt, Jeff, and Tito inside to find everyone sitting around what looked like a hospital bed and a doctor and a huge machine that looked like an Ultrasound machine.
"Since everyone wanted to see this thing we decided it might be better if we had the Doctor come to us. Cherish meet Doctor Jenna Teague." Jeff explained as Cherish looked at him in confusion and then she nodded and shook the female doctor's hand.
"Alright, Cherish, I want you to lie on this bed here and relax." Doctor Jenna said and Cherish did as she was told with Matt and Jeff's help. The doctor lifted Cherish's shirt a little and placed the jelly on Cherish's stomach.
The time with Doctor Jenna went fast and soon it was over. Something wasn't right though. Cherish had seen something in Chris' eyes died when he saw the pictures of the baby. She pushed the thought away and looked around and spotted her father, Bob, Matt, and Jeff talking with Doctor Jenna. Everyone else was mingling with each other but she didn't see Chris or Tito. She walked around the corner and saw the two at the top of the stairs, but they weren't talking. Cherish ran up the stairs as quickly as her body would allow and stood between the two men.
"Stop, now." Cherish said but Chris only pushed her and she went flying shoulder first into the door nearby. She groaned and held her shoulder as she sat on the floor.
"What the hell man? She's pregnant!" Tito yelled and pushed him hard making Chris move two or three steps back.
"Yeah with YOUR baby!" At this point Tito gasped and Cherish stood as Tito tried to wrestle Chris to the ground. However, Chris overpowered him and threw him, making him fall back and hit his head on the edge of a dresser. Chris turned to Cherish who had fear in her eyes as he stalked closer to her.
"What are you doing, Chris?" Cherish asked as she moved along the wall and stood near the stairs. She was scared out of her mind because of the look in his eyes. She stepped down a few steps.
"Not scared of me are you?" Chris asked and Cherish kept stepping down as he stepped down with her. She shook her head a little and then suddenly Chris reached out and pushed Cherish hard and she tumbled down the steps. At the bottom she screamed in pain and clutched her stomach. Matt, Jeff, Bob, and Doctor Jenna were at Cherish's side immediately and everyone else looked up at Chris. He stormed quickly down the stairs and out of the door, grabbing his keys on the way out.
"Daddy, Daddy, please check on Tito. He's upstairs." Cherish cried as Doctor Jenna felt around her stomach and looked at Matt and Jeff in sadness. Bob nodded and was about to stand when Tito kneeled down with tears in his eyes and he looked at Cherish.
"Baby, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." He cried to her and everyone around gasped as Doctor Jenna pulled her hand out of Cherish's pants to show blood. The baby was dead.
"No, no, please god no. Not my baby." Cherish cried and grabbed at Tito's arms. He held her tight as Randy called 911.
"I love you, Cherish. I love you, baby. I love you." Tito kept saying and the women began to cry hard, even Linda McMahon was crying. A tear slipped down Jeff, Matt, and Bob's faces.
When the ambulance came, Tito went with Cherish and everyone followed. When they had taken out the dead fetus, Tito was there afterwards holding Cherish. When they got the news that Chris Sabin had died in a car crash after drinking excessive amounts of alcohol Tito was there to comfort Cherish. She cried a little, but she knew she was going to call the wedding off anyways, due to Chris' actions. But the main thing that was important was that Tito was there for Cherish every step of the way.
"Tito, I'm sorry about this. So sorry." Cherish said as she looked over at Tito who was sitting at the window looking out longingly. Matt and Jeff sat nearby but they were sleeping and Bob had left to get something to eat. Everyone else had to leave because WWE and TNA couldn't keep doing this to the people. Cherish understood.
"It's not your fault, Cher. It's not." Tito said as he looked at her and she nodded and looked out the window he had been looking out. He stared at her in love and adoration. She was beautiful to him and she could never do wrong. They had been through a lot together and he had learned a lot from her and with her. He turned his gaze back out the window when he heard her speak again.
"I wanted to name her Natalya Faith Hardy-Ortiz." Cherish sounded defeated and lost and Tito walked over to her side and sat down on the bed with her.
"That's a beautiful name, Cherish." Tito said to her and she smiled at him with tears in her eyes. Tito felt her hand on his and he gripped it before he moved next to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. Suddenly Cherish felt woozy and looked to her left.
"Momma, is that you?" Cherish asked as her eyes focused on the figure, the long flowing brown hair and the beautiful green eyes that stared at her.
"Come to me, Cher. It's okay." Cherish stood at her mother's request and realized time had frozen. She looked to Tito for a moment and kissed his frozen figure.
"Momma, why did this happen? Why?" Cherish asked as she rushed to her mother's side and fell into her arms with a sob. Faith held her daughter close and smiled a little.
"It had to, Cher. But sweetheart, your baby isn't dead." As the words escaped Faith's mouth, Cherish looked to her stomach and felt a distinct kicking. You fell halfway down the stairs and got knocked out." Cherish shook her head in confusion.
"Then that means I'm in a coma?" Cherish asked as she felt pains in her stomach and heard distant shouting.
"Yes, that's right. You were always so smart. You are now about to finish your final month, baby girl." Cherish smiled as her mother wiped the tears away from Cherish's cheeks and smiled. Cherish nodded.
"But what about—" Cherish began but was cut off.
"Chris is gone Cherish. He regrets what he did to the fullest extent but he's gone now. When you wake up, the first face you'll see is the one you've loved all of your life." Faith said and stroked her daughter's hair before kissing her.
"It's time, isn't it?" Cherish asked her as she felt pains in her stomach and a wetness below.
"Yes, my little Cher. I love you. I will always be watching over you." Cherish nodded as a few tears descended her cheeks. "Shut your eyes."
Cherish did as she was told and then suddenly opened them to the chaos around her. Tito's face appeared next to her. She smiled and sat up a little. The doctor nearby looked to her and gasped, which was followed by eyes and greetings from Gil, Matt, Jeff, Tito, Bob, Ash, and Rey.
"And to think, we were going to have to take this baby out the easy way." The doctor said as Cherish gasped and smirked a little.
"I never was one for the easy way out." Cherish felt a warmth around her and she smiled as Matt stared at her with a grin. She looked to Jeff whose eyes seemed to shimmer with pride.
"We must do this now." The doctor said as two nurses came in and began to usher everyone out. As Tito began to leave, Cherish cried out.
"Tito, if you want to I'd like for you to stay." Cherish said to the tall blond haired fighter and he nodded and was already at her side holding her hand. She smiled at him and he smiled back.

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world

A few hours later Cherish was sitting all tired out from producing a beautiful baby girl and Tito had a headache that was fading as the nurse pushed in a cart with the baby inside.
"Would you like to hold her?" The nurse asked her and she nodded. The baby had Tito's big brown eyes and her brown hair but there was a hint of blonde. Cherish took the baby in her arms as it cooed. It was so tiny, but so beautiful. Tito leaned over, sitting next to Cherish and smiled at the baby.
"Natalya Faith Hardy-Ortiz." Cherish said to her and she smirked at Cherish. Cherish looked to Tito who had wrapped an arm around Cherish. Tito's gaze met Cherish's and he leaned into her, kissing her softy and smiling.
"Talk about a good kisser. Nat, your Daddy is the best." Cherish said to the small 9 pound wonder in her arms. She handed her over to Tito for a while until finally everyone came in and held Natalya. Soon Cherish was tired and everything was right with the world. At least, for right now.
Finally I finished the chapter and yet the story isn't done quite yet. I still want to do a couple more chapters but I don't know when I will get the inspiration to do it. I hope you enjoyed this because originally I was going to let the baby die but after much consultation about it I decided to keep the baby and so this is what happened. Tell me what you guys thought!
