"I guess all I can say is that I got two words for ya."
Hunter moaned and wiped his face. "What?"
Shawn took a deep breath and wiped his eyes. "I'm pregnant."
Hunter sat straight up and looked at Shawn to verify if what he'd just remembered was real or not. "No." Shawn just nodded. "No." He suddenly felt sick at his stomach.
Rachel pulled everybody back. "Come on folks! Nothing to see here!" She stepped in front of the door. "Everybody out!" She looked at Shawn and bit her lip before slamming the door.
"No."
"Yes."
"How?"
Shawn scratched the back of his head. "Well, Hunter when a man and a woman-"
"That's not what I meant!" Hunter took a few deep breaths. "Oh! Wait I get it! It's a joke right? Rachel and Edge put you up to this didn't they?" When he saw absolutely know humor on Shawn's face then he got worried. "Oh shit."
"It's not a joke," Shawn said in a low voice as he thought back to that morning...
Earlier that morning... (flashback)
Shawn got up from the toilet and wiped his mouth. "That's the third time this week."
Rebecca stepped into the room. "Shawn we can cancel the get together if you're not feeling well. Maybe you should go to the doctor."
"No. You're already cookin' they might as well come over. It gets better as the day goes by anyway." Shawn turned on the faucet and got himself a drink of water. "I'm fine. Really." Rachel, Rob and Edge had come over with the kids fairly early. Rachel was in fantastic mood but Edge had been snappy and bitchy the entire time. Shawn finally took Rachel aside after having his head bitten off by Edge for the third time that day. "What's wrong with Edge?"
The Rated R Superstar burst into the conversation. "I'm on my PERIOD okay?" She was obviously grinding her teeth and the twisted scowl on her face was scaring the dog.
"Sorry." Shawn backed up a little.
Rachel only smiled. "At least you can sympathize with her."
"What?"
"Well, you know. I mean I don't think you ENJOYED having a period did you?"
Shawn just stared blankly at her. "I never had one." He felt his stomach do another backflip and he ran towards the bathroom. After he emptied the contents of his stomach he looked up at Rachel who was looking at him with worried eyes. "Sorry, I'm sick."
"Uh... Shawn. How long were you a woman?"
He started rubbing his temples and yawned. "I don't know..." He did some calculating in his head. "About two and a half months. Wow. It seemed so much longer than that."
"You should've had one Shawn."
"Why do we have to talk about this?"
"So how long have you be nauseous?"
Shawn got up and put the toilet lid down and sat on it. "It's started about three days ago."
Rachel just stood in the doorway. "Okay, how's your energy?"
"What does-"
"Answer the question."
"I guess it's been kinda low Dr. Van Dam." Shawn rolled his eyes and put his head on his lap.
Rachel smirked. "How does a nice, big, juicy pickle sound right about now?"
Shawn's head popped up and he looked at her. "Now that you mention it... That sounds pretty good." He got up from the toilet and walked past Rachel. "Becca just bought a whole jar-"
She grabbed him by the shirt. "I'll buy you pickle at the grocery store. Come on." She asked Rob for the car keys and drug Shawn out to the van. "Hurry up."
"Why are we going to the grocery store?" Shawn buckled up as Rachel started the car. She refused to answer him as they drove to the grocery store. She led him back to the pharmacy department. "What? Do you know of some alternative medicine treatment?" They passed the vitamins and supplements section and went right to- "Wait a minute."
Rachel grabbed a pink box and grabbed Shawn's arm leading away. "Don't make a big deal about it just come on." They went up to the register.
The boy at the register knew who they were. "Shawn Michaels and Rachel Van Dam? Wow!" Then he looked at the box she'd popped up on the counter. "Oh so is there gonna be another Van Dam?"
Rachel didn't make eye contact with the boy. "I don't know. We're gonna see in a minute."
The boy scanned the box. "I bet Rob's excited."
"He doesn't know." Rachel blurted out. "I- don't want him to get his hopes up in case I'm not." She paid for the box and led Shawn out to the car.
"Rache! You have gotta be kiddin' me!" Shawn had a hand slapped over his mouth and she all but threw him in the back of the van.
Rachel turned around once she got in the car and scowled at Shawn. "Listen, I know this is a little far fetched. But seeing as how you were a woman and you never had a period and you had sex with Hunter- quite a few times- we need to be open to all possibilities."
He rolled his eyes and sighed. "Fine. I'll humor you." Back at the house Shawn snuck into the bathroom and followed the directions on the back the box. After the waiting period he looked at the test. "No. No." It was a simple test that produced a simple yes or no answer. The test said yes. "No." He opened the door. "Rachel," he whispered. "Rachel."
"What?"
"It says yes." Shawn chucked the stick into the garbage can. "Give me the other test." He took the other test. Another yes. "Oh my- no. No."
Rachel poked her head in. "Another yes?"
Shawn just shook his head. "This can't be right though. This doesn't happen. I'm a guy!"
"But you were a girl and you got pregnant." Rachel seemed a little dumbfounded herself. "So when you got changed back do you think it left the uterus intact and everything?" She lifted up his shirt and began poking at his belly.
"Stop it! I don't know!" Shawn pushed her away. "What am I gonna do? How am I gonna tell Hunter? How the heck am I gonna tell Rebecca? What's gonna happen to my career?"
Back to the present...
Shawn hadn't moved from his spot leaning up against the tub.
Hunter was just staring at him in silence. "They're gonna wonder what's going on."
"I know." He got up and pulled Hunter up. "I'm sorry." He threw his arms around him.
Hunter just stood there not sure how to handle the situation. "Let's talk about this a little later okay? When people aren't standing outside the bathroom." He opened the door and led Shawn down the hallway to the dinning room.
Stephanie got up from the table. "Are you okay? What happened?" She inspected the side of his head.
"I went to bend down to check on Shawn and I slipped and fell." Hunter moved away from her and sat down.
Rebecca got up from the table. "I'll be right back."
"MOM!" Michael called from the table. "Scott said that he was gonna feed me to a chupacabra!"
Scott scooted his too small chair back the from the table. "I was just jokin'!"
"You're an idiot. Chupacabras don't exit." Serena rolled her eyes.
Bret had noticed how sick Shawn had looked. "Shawn you're looking a little pale. You're not getting sick on me are you?"
Shawn just shrugged and started shoveling his food in his mouth. "I've been up and down the past few days."
"Congratulations Rachel." Rebecca said as she sat down at the table.
Rachel looked confused. "For what?"
Rebecca just smiled at her. "I was wondering where you and Shawn went. I guess you wanted to surprise Rob."
Rob looked over at his wife. "Surprise me with what?"
"Listen Becca, there's a little-"
"Well, whose pregnancy test is that? Mickie?"
Mickie almost choked on her food. "No." Carlito breathed a sigh of relief.
Rob looked at Rachel again. "PREGNANCY TEST? Oh please don't let it be twins again! I can't take it!"
"I'm not pregnant you moron."
He then looked at Edge who smacked him in the head. "You are a moron! I'm not pregnant either."
Rob asked the question that was on everyone's mind. "Well then who the hell is pregnant?" He noticed his wife's eyes shoot to Shawn and noticed Hunter's did the same.
Shawn started breathing heavily and bit his lip while everyone started talking at once. He shot up from his seat and slammed his fists down on the table. "I AM OKAY? IT'S MINE!"
Bret burst out laughing. "Funny Shawn."
Kevin gave Shawn a thumbs up. "That was great- but seriously- It's Rachel's right?"
Rachel shook her head. "It's Shawn."
Rebecca's smile slowly faded. "Shawn?"
He ran out of the room and out of the house as fast he could. For Shawn that wasn't fast enough.
