Noella stood at the curtain with Max and Austin. Austin seemed a bit off but Noella chalked it up to the meeting he had before the show with Max. Max rolled his neck and looked at the monitor, his time was almost here. He took a deep breath.
“MJF to curtain” a stage hand called. Max nodded and Noella went up to him and fixes his scarf.
“You got this okay” she says to him, bringing him in by his scarf and giving him a kiss.
“Knock ‘em dead baby” she says. Max put on his cocky facade and nods.
“Always do sweetheart” he winks at her. Noella smiles wide and makes her way over to the production table and takes a seat. Max and Austin took their spots at the curtain. Once Maxs music blasts they walk out.
The ref has just turned around and started counting the pin Max had on Joe, but it futile. Joe kicked out. Max looked at Austin and asked him for the dynamite ring, that usually always adorned maxs fingers outside the ring. Austin fumbled around but couldn’t find it, that when Joe capitalized and put Max into a sleeper. Noella sat with her leg bouncing up and down, her head on her fists as she watched the screen. Noella had a bad feeling bubbling in her. She watched as Max began to fade out, making Noella pale a little. Max completely fades out and the ref lifted his arm a few times to see if there was response…nothing. Joes theme rang throughout the arena as he was handed the championship. Just as Max started to come too, Austin stepped into the ring to help max, that’s when masked black figures came into the ring with chairs, taking both Austin and Max into holds. One of the figures lifted a chair above his head and Max screamed.
“NO!” And everything in the arena went dark. Noella looked over at TK.
“Tony this wasn’t discussed?” She asks. Tony had only let Noella in on certain things that really didn’t need her attention or help, certain storylines where more private then others, she knew certain details of what was to happen but not when or why.Tony looked at her and nodded.
“I know, it’s one of the secrets few know” he says. Noella turns to look back at the screen as the lights came back on. There in the middle of the ring sat on the chair was Austin, well Adam. Noella furrowed her brows. Austin held up the devils mask and Noella gasped. That’s when Tony called cut on cameras and the live footage was over.
“What the fuck TK” Noella asks.
“I’m honestly surprised Austin and lets be honest, Max, could keep their mouth shut on this storyline” TK laughed.
“Oh come the fuck on TK, they were totally tag team long time material and you had Austin play devil, you shoulda kept max as devil, it’s hotter” Noella shook her head. TK laughed loudly at her suggestion.
“WAIT! That’s why Austin was being weird earlier, he was tryna keep his pie hole shut!” Noella pointed at TK and he let out a loud laugh.
“Okay but like why not keep max the devil? Like you coulda really played people TK, coulda had max looking babyface and then bam just like people knew he turned back to his old ways” Noella says arms basically flailing. Max and Austin walked through the curtain high-fiving before Max stopped by production.
“What old ways” Max says appearing next to Noella. Noella gasps and turns to smack Maxs arm.
“Jesus Max” Max laughs as his hand goes to Noellas hair playing with a strand of it.
“Nice job out there tonight Max, keep up the good work and enjoy your time off” TK pats Maxs shoulder, then gives Noellas a squeeze before walking away. Noella looks at Max curiously.
“Time off?” She asks standing up, Max pulling her into him, his sweaty body pressed against hers.
“Mhmm” max hums, moving his face in closer to Noella face, his nose brushes against hers.
“Taking a few months off. Wanna recoup…spend some time working out, marry you and travel a little, not in that order though” Max says kissing her lips. Noella kissed him back but his words replayed in her head. She pulls back looking up at Max who had a smirk on his face.
“What did you just say?” She asked, her nerves starting to tingle and heart starting to beat faster. He had to be joking with her. Max took her hand and pulled her behind him as he walked to his locker room.
“Max?” Noella asks. Max pulls her in and shuts the door. He lets go of her hand and digs through his Louis Vuitton duffel bag. He finds the Tiffany ring box and pulls it out. He quickly peeks at it and it still sits in there in all its glory. He quietly closes the box and turns around to Noella.
“I was thinking during my time off we could possibly get married. I was thinking we could marry in the courthouse, have a traveling honeymoon and then in a few months time we can-“ his fingers fiddle with the box in his hands behind his back.
“Yes” Noella says quietly. Max stops talking and his movements when he hears her.
“Yes?” He almost cringes at how desperate he must have sounded. Noella nods.
“Yes Max…I’ll marry you.” Noella says, her eyes welled with tears. Max pulls the box from behind his back and opens to taking out the ring. He grabs Noellas left hand and puts the gorgeous ring on her finger. The whole time all Noella could do was stare at Max’s face. His face was flushed and a little sweaty but he had this happy glow about him, despite losing tonight. When the ring was on her finger he brought it up to his mouth and gave her finger a kiss then looked at her.
“You keep staring at me like that and you won’t be walking for a week” Max leans in, biting her earlobe. Noella let out a shaky breath and max smirks.
Noella got out of the car, and waited for Max to grab their bags. Once he had their bags, he grabbed Noellas ring clad hand and pulls her along with him into the hotel. Maxs fingers play with the ring on her finger as they walk, max looks down at her hand and pulls it to his lips, then he looks at her. She was beautiful and the love she looked at him with made his heart race. As they got into the elevator max leaned against a wall and pulls her to his chest, his hands resting on her ass. Her hands laid on his chest, the light shining off the diamond of her ring. He brings a hand to her face and brushes a strand behind her ear.
“You are going to be one gorgeous soon to be Mrs Friedman” Max says quietly. She gave an almost bashful sheepish smile.
“You are going to be one handsome husband Mr Friedman” she says. He lets out a small chuckle before leaning forward and kissing her forehead. The elevator brought them to their floor and max pulled her along behind him. Once he opened the door he ushered her inside before stepping in himself and closing the door.
Hometown hero right here, love my fellow hometown bud ☺️ wish I was there tonight 🥺😭 I saw his first big match here years ago with AEW when he won his ROH pure championship and it was amazing.
That Wyatt 6 segment last night had me choked up. So I’m a very spiritual person, and I’m also very psychic, intuitive and can connect with the dead…anyway, I ended up watching the segment a little later on FB and I swear to you all, I felt Windham -Bray- in that arena looking down at his little brother Taylor -Bo/Uncle Howdy- with pride and love, pointing out with him saying ‘that’s my baby brother’. Hearing that from spirit made me almost break. The gift I possess is quite powerful and I’m honestly glad I have it at times like this because it really makes pro wrestling so much more of an unwritten book.
On Friday as Noa walked into the venue, she felt a sense of dread setting in. Something wasn’t right. Noa kept her mind on high alert, walking to the girls locker room. She minded her own up until she heard something that her ears seemed to pick up on.
“I feel bad for her…” one of the voices said.
“Do you think they invited her to the wedding?” Another voice asks. Noa furrowed her brows together. Who was getting married?
“Wait who walked in?” Another pops in. The girls look at each other and end up looking around the locker room finding Noa putting things into her locker. The girls all looked at each other with shock.
“Hey Noa” one of the girls smile at her. Noa looks over at them and gives a small sad smile back. It was clear to her whoever they were talking about, she wasn’t meant to know. After finish dressing, Noa decides to walk around the arena. While walking around she ends up walkingb into someone who ends up dropping a card. Noa immediately apologizes and helps pick up what they had dropped. When her eyes dropped upon the card her heart froze.
‘Please join us in celebrating the marriage of Jeffery Parker and Dori Prange…’
Noas heart slowly started again.
“Shit” she knew that voice. She looked up and saw it was Matt Menard- daddy magic. Her and daddy used to be close but after Jeffery cheated he kind of distanced himself from Noa. Noa steeled herself and handed Matt his card.
“Matt, nice to see you, sorry for bumping into you.” Noa says, trying to hold herself together. Matt was about to speak but she turned away and swiftly walked down the hall. Matt sighed and grabbed his phone letting Jeff know he fucked up. Once Noa thought she was alone she let herself break a little. Now she knew why she had a bad feeling entering the arena earlier. It was like the world didn’t want her mind to have any peace. Noa wipes her tears but they become too much. Noa stops in the hall and looks around. Seeing no one she leans against the wall and closes her eyes, letting herself break. The tears flowed out of her closed eyes but she kept herself quiet.
Meanwhile Matt had just finished up a meeting with the some of the higher ups. He made his way back to the locker room to change into his gear. Upon going over to his bag he saw an envelope. He opened the envelope and read it over. Matt immediately felt anger, sadness, sickness and overall distress. Why would they invite Matt?
“Shit” Matt says aloud. He puts the card in his bag and rushes out of the room and starts looking around the arena for Noa. Matt happened to stumble upon Jeff and Matt Menard in the hall talking. Matt paused for a second when he heard Noas name.
“Noa saw it?! Matt what the fuck” Jeff says with frustration, running his hands through his hair.
“Dude it was an accident. She ran into me and I dropped it. She picked it up before I could. Dude the look on her face…” Menard shakes his head in sadness. Menard always like Noa, thought she was a great fit for Jeff but then things happened and now he didn’t know how to act with her. He kept his distance. After Matt heard what Menard said, he quickly rushed around looking for Noa.
“Fuck fuck fuck” Matt says looking down all the hallways. He got to one of the last set of hallways that had been lined with closets and such, when he saw her sitting against the wall, staring straight ahead. Matt sighed but rushed down to Noa.
“Noa…” Matt says cautiously all while moving closer. Noa turned her head to look at the voice and saw it was Matt. She just stared at him.
“Sweetheart…” Matt starts.
“Can you get me a match?” Noa asks him. Matt looks at her taken aback. He slowly nods.
“Probably just depends on who…who were you thinking?” Matt asks.
“Angelo Parker.” Noa said with malice. Matt started shaking his head.
“No. Absolutely not” Matt says. Noa looks at him with a small fire starting in her eyes. She stand up.
“And why the hell not!?” She crosses her arms.
“Are you insane? He’s twice your weight class Noa. Absolutely not. I’m not having you get hurt” Matt says standing firm. Noa looked at him and kisses her teeth.
“Well real great job you did there Matthew. I’m already fucking hurt, in more ways than one. The fucker cheated on me while I was grieving our child and now he’s getting married?! And having a baby?!Why does he still get to have that and I don’t?! The least someone could let me do is drop kick him on his ass for making feel so embarrassed and so humiliated.” Noa snaps with anger and hurt. Matt was stunned. He quickly recovered and moved fast to grab Noas wrist and pull her to him. Noa tried to fight his embrace but she was too tired and to hurt.
“I’m not having you get hurt or hurt yourself Noa. I won’t let you.” Matt says with authority that almost had Noa being submissive, but not enough.
“I want him to feel how I feel. I want to feel something other than this feeling Matty” Noa sobs in his hold. Matt tries to think of something quick and when he does he pulls Noa back a little.
“Noa look at me…” Matt says quietly. Noa shakes her head, her tears continuing to roll down her face. Matt took a small breath before trying again, this time with a tone he knew she’d respond to.
“Noa look at me” Matt says in a dominant tone. Noa- the ever natural submissive- submitted. She looked up at Matt and his eyes. They were edging to a black instead of dark brown.
“You want to feel something else?” Matt wants reconfirmation. Noa nods her head and Matt sighs.
“Use your words Noa” Matt says, his tone still dominant. Noa sobs die down as his tone start to strike her.
“Yes Matthew” Noa sniffles with attitude. Matt rolls his eyes and moves Noa so she back against the wall, he brings both of her arms above her head and held them there with one hand.
“Drop the attitude with me Noa. Now let’s try this again. I need you to use your words Noa.” Matt says in domination. Noa bites the inside of her cheek, feeling her body cover in warmth. She was definitely starting to feel something else.
“Yes Matt. I want to feel something else” Noa resigns. Matt moves in closer, his face inches from hers.
“Do you trust me?” Matt asks a little more softly.
“Yes Matt” Noa whispers. Matts free hand moves up to Noas jaw and neck intersection, tilting her head up to look at him. Matt looks into her eyes and Noas breath catches in her throat. Matt surges forward and captures her lips between his. Noa was completely shocked, what shocked her even more was that she responded back so quickly. As if she was the one who had initiated the kiss in the first place. Matts other hand dropped Noas arms from his hold, he puts his other hand on Noas other side of her neck, deepening the kiss, Noas hands going to his arms to hold onto him. The kiss continued to deepen if not grow increasingly intimate within seconds. Matt starts to pull back from Noa. When he does, he looks down at Noa to see her eyes closed with her face looking calm and relaxed. Noa opens her eyes to see Matt looking down at her as if he was trying to read her, which he had a habit of knowing how to read her too.
“Did you feel something else?” Matt asks, still lingering close to Noa. Now nods.
“Probably something I shouldn’t” she says quietly. Matt looks at her when he hears her whisper to herself. Noa looks down at her watch and starts to panic.
“Shit I have a match soon. Later okay?” She asks without trying to hear the answer. As she’s leaving she leans up to Matt and gives his lips a peck. Noa was quite shocked by her actions, she booked it down to gorilla.

The last few weeks before the holiday season really began had been hectic. With the wrestling community in uproar over MJF’s emotional media scrum and relationship speech, it seemed they were plastered everywhere.
Noella had been busy running shows and getting everyone on the same page for show production. Max had seen a little less of her with having interviews himself and him rehabbing an injury before worlds end. The two missed each other endlessly but had agreed on spending the holidays together.
Max had already been in NY a few hours before Noellas plane had landed, so he made sure his apartment was clean and had a meal cooking all before she could get there. By the time Max had finished setting the table, there was a knock at the door. Piper had ran to the door to meow loudly and max chuckled shaking his head.
“Yes pipe, it’s your bestfriend” Max chuckles as he opened the door. Noella was still fluffing her hair from the windy day, when max opened the door. When she looked up, he was already staring at her with a cocky smirk.
“Well well well” max smirked. She let out an exasperated sigh.
“That stupid wind making my hair look like a rat” she huffed out. Max moved forward and his warm hands snaked their way to her hips and pulled her into him and the apartment doorway more, pelvises almost touching, and her hands immediately going to Max’s chest.
“Oh I could make it look like a rat sweetheart” max says cockily with a big smirk. Noella throws her head back and laughs.
“Maybe later” she says catching her breath. Max wiggles his eyebrows at her, causing her to smack his chest. He leans down and gives her lips a kiss.
Max wasn’t one to celebrate traditional holidays but he decided to celebrate with Noella. Thanksgiving was spent in his apartment, where Noella cooked a semi traditional thanksgiving dinner for her and Max. It was just them and Piper, of course there was a call from Shawn and a call from her dad, she naturally kept her conversation with her father short and Paul was extremely saddened by this. He hadnt really called for past holidays when he was away unless it was her birthday or Christmas, so he shouldn’t have been surprised when she kept the conversation short. Of course Shawn got more out of her than Paul. He really was like the dad she never had. Even with his own kids, he still made Noella feel part of a family and had her promise to try and convince Max to go to Texas for Christmas so that he could see Noella. Shawn even offered to follow Jewish tradition for Max on his holidays that were running in with Christmas. Max agreed knowing how much Shawn had cared for Noella and wanted to finally meet the man he grew up watching as well.
Max had been driving the rental to Shawn’s farm ranch, while Noella chilled in the passenger seat, excited to see Shawn and his wife.
“I used to spend summers with Shawn’s wife when I was younger. My grandma liked how Shawn’s wife always treated me like her own kid and kept an eye on me when I visited dad on the road. Super protective but really fun.” Noella says to Max as they start getting closer to the ranch.
“So you’re also a farmer girl?” Max glances over at her with a raised eyebrow. Noella chuckles and shakes her head.
“Well more like a rancher girl but sure if that tickles your pickle” Noella shrugs looking out the window reading the signs.
“You surprise me more and more” Max says thoughtfully. Noella looks over at him.
“It’s a good thing sweetheart” Max says feeling her eyes on him. She smiles at him. Max could be full of surprises himself.
“Next right will be the access road to his ranch” Noella says seeing the familiar pastures and wooden signs.
As Max pulled the car to a stop next to a few pickups, Noella practically screamed. Max braced himself and looked at Noella.
“Shit sweetheart what’s wrong?” Max says. Noella looks at him sheepishly with a shy smile, one that has Max smiling at her.
“You see that blue pickup” Noella points. Max nods wanting her to continue.
“That’s my uncle Steve’s pickup.” Noella says with a big smile.
“Uncle Steve?”
“Steve Austin. Stone Cold.” Noella smiles. Maxs mouth drops open. Noella laughs and quickly gets out of the car.
“Wait he’s your honorary uncle too?” Max laughed nervously. Noella turned to look back at Max, who was closing his door.
“Mhmm, he and Uncle Shawn do a lot of ranching together, ride horses and shit” Noella says holding out her hand for Max to grab.
“I thought I heard yelling ‘oh uncle Steve! I love that uncle Steve’” Steve mocks Noella, coming out the ranch on the front porch. Noella threw her head back laughing.
“Wow hitting the senile stage already” Noella laughs. Steve chuckles and Shawn steps out onto the porch as well. Steve pulls Noella into a hug. Once Steve is done hugging Noella, Shawn hugs her next.
“Hi sweetie” Shawn says as he hugs her.
“Hi” she sighs out. Shawn kisses her head and lets her go.
“Guys…this is Max. Max this is Steve Anderson and Shawn Hickenbottom or Stone Cold Steve Austin and Heartbreak kid Shawn Micheals” Noella says proudly. The older pair of men laugh.
“Maxwell Jacob Friedman,Huge fan of you both.” Max says as he shakes their hands. Shawn laughs and Noella smacks his arm.
“They don’t need your full name” she giggles. Max gives her side a tiny little gaze with his finger and she helps. Shawn and Austin laugh at the pair.
“Well let’s go inside, mommas got a nice home cooked meal just for y’all” Shawn days.
“Which is why I’m here” Austin laughs walking into the house.
With the holidays in full swing. Noella felt a new sense of belonging. Sure she spent christmases with Shawn before, sure she’s seen Steve on holidays too, but with Max, it’s like she felt seen. Noella also made sure to celebrate the Jewish holidays, which even Shawn, who kept his word, oriented Jewish holidays into the time they were spending on the ranch, which made Max ever grateful. Their last night on the ranch, they sat out by the campfire.
“I just want to thank you guys for having me and including me with Noella “ Max says. Noella who was coming back from the bathroom heard her name.
“I heard my name” Noella says going to sit next to Max but Max grabs her hips when she’s close and pulls her onto his lap.
“This is always your seat sweetheart” max whispered in her ear. She let out a small giggle shaking her head.
“Well Max, it’s been my pleasure having you and my honorary daughter here” Shawn smiles.
“Niece” Steve cuts in laughing.
“Fine whatever, forgot you got jealous old man” Shawn juts at Steve. Noella laughs.
“This is probably been one of the best holiday seasons I’ve had” Noella says thoughtfully looking at the fire. Everyone goes quiet. Max just squeezed her closer to him.
2months ago, I gave birth to my baby boy, two months!
I had to have him 4 weeks early due to gestational hypertension, but he was so healthy. Me on the other hand probably shouldn’t be bc my bp was over 200 at one point but they fixed it. Can y’all believe this kid legit slid out of me, like legit was already head out by the time my water broke. Thank god I had no tearing, I was extremely lucky on that part. On all parts really, I barely felt much even when they were doing my epidural.
Now I sit here with my two month old who is one of the cutest little boys, I’m biased but whatever, always such a good baby and lovessssss his cuddles.
Noa woke up to a series of knocking on her door. She looked over at Anna’s bed and noticed she was gone. Noa sighed lightly and ran her hand down her face. She gingerly got up out of bed, her head slightly starting to come to a headache. She made her way to the door and opened it to reveal a gym dressed Matthew on the other side. Last night came flooding back into Noas mind real fast, nearly knocking her on her ass in embarrassment. She really told Matt she wished he was her baby’s father. Then the way his fingers danced on her stomach, just thinking about it made her feel all warm. And the way he said ‘one day’…it had Noas mind reeling. ‘What did he mean’ Noa thought to herself. Noa was brought out of her revere when Matthew cleared his throat, fixing his gym bag over his shoulder. Noa blinked rapidly a few times.
“Hi” she squeaks out. Matthew lets out a chuckle. He pulls out a pill bottle from the side of his bag- taking out a few, and a water bottle, handing them to Noa.
“Told you I’d bring you aspirin in the morning, here take these.” Matthew says. Noa nods slowly and takes the items from Matthew, following his directions. She swallows both pills and nods at Matthew. Matthew nods.
“Alright I’m off…I’ll see you later” Matthew says. Noa nods.
“Later…” Noa says watching Matthew retreat down to the elevator. ‘Hmm cute butt’ Noa thinks to herself before shaking her head.
As Noa sat on the plane, her mind went to the last few days. It made her chest tighten, sending Noa to grab onto her necklace that held her teeny tiny babies ashes. She took a deep breath. ‘You’re the last part of him I will ever love.’ Noa thinks to herself and her angel baby. Noa felt someone sit down next to her, causing her to open her eyes. She turned her head slightly and saw that it was Jeff. Her breath caught in her throat and she went frozen.
“I’m guessing you had TK have us sit next to each other before you broke up with me” Jeff says staring ahead. Noa looks at him with wide eyes.
“The audacity you have Jeffrey Parker. Broke up with you? You fucking cheated on me!” Noa whisper yells. Jeff looks over at her and sees her glassy eyes, still dull in color, he missed seeing her beautiful green eyes.
“I’d basically had already lost you Noa” Jeff resigns.
“I just lost our baby Jeff!” She whispers. She felt her breathing get rugged and needed out of the plane. She couldn’t do this. She could hear Jeff’s breathing and sighing. She took out her phone and texted the one person she knew could help her, like he did so many times after the loss of her beloved baby girl, Matthew.
Noa- SOS
EVP1- you okay?
Noa- I need off this plane before it takes off, TK never switched Jeff’s ticket and he’s next to me, shit is going down.
EVP1- we haven’t left yet, you’ll ride with me and Nicholas on the jet. I’m gonna call the airport and get you off. Hang tight sweetheart.
Noa- ty Matty
Within about 5 minutes a flight attendant came through the plane and grabbed Noa. Noa grabbed her bag she held and moved quickly out of the space that held Jeff. Jeff looked at her, not done talking to her but she was getting up and leaving. Jeff stood up and grabbed Noas arm lightly. Noa whipped her head back to look at Jeff. Her eyes were conveying messages he continued to ignore.
“Noa please” Jeff says. Noa moves her arm from his grasp and shakes her head.
“Please just stop Jeff. It’s done. The damage is done. Stop trying to do more please.” Noa practically whimpered out to him. Jeff’s heart ached. Jeff steps back nodding slowly. This is not how we wanted things. Noa turned as fast as she could and got off the plane completely, which stunned Jeff. Noa got off the plane and back to the terminal gates. Once she was back in general population of the airport she felt like she could breathe a little better but not much. Noa went to the desk to ask where the Massies private jet was and that she was suppose to be on it. The guy at the desk called the jet and Nick picked up confirming Noa is suppose to be on the plane. The desk clerk looked at Noa and decided to have one of the baggage guys drive her down to the private jets lot. She looked so exhausted and he felt for her.
“I have one of my baggage guys coming to cart you down to the jet. You look exhausted hun” he tells her. She tries to give a smile but it barely happens.
“Just overwhelmed I guess, thank you though that’s very kind of you and unnecessary but I appreciate it” Noa says. He nods and points behind her. She looks to see a guy with a cart.
“Have a safe flight hun” he tells her. She nods and thanks him again. The cart guy drives her through a garage and out onto the runway. The traveled past a few parked planes before he pulled up to a jet getting ready to leave. He came to a stop and Noa looked at the plane.
“Thank you” Noa says. The man gives her a smile and nods. Noa put on her backpack and climbed out of the cart. Noa looked at the stairs and looked up to the door of the plane to see Matt standing there. She was trying hard to keep her tears at bay. Matt was leaning against the frame, hands in his pocket. When he made eye contact with Noa, he saw her eyes start to gloss over and her breathing falter. Matt immediately moved down the stairs quickly and Noa ran to him. Once she was close enough, she practically jumped into Matt’s arms. He bent down a little and lifted up Noa, fully off the ground, her legs wrapping around his waist. Matts hand fisted into Noas hair, pulling her closer, upon feeling her practically shaking. Matt turns and makes his way up the stairs, Nick standing at the doorway of the plane, a worried look on his face. Nick looks at Matt once he’s close enough with question and Matt shakes his head. He sits down with Noa still clinging to him.
“I’ll tell the pilot we’re ready…” Nick says to no one in particular. Matt rubs Noas back.
“I’m gonna need you to seatbelt in Noa” Matt says quietly, smoothing her hair. She takes a deep shaky sniffling breath and gets off Matt’s lap. She sits in the seat next to him and buckles up. She looks down at her legs, fiddling with her fingers, trying to keep her anxiety at bay. Nick sat down in front of of Matt and Noa, and the plane began its decent down the runway. Nick looked back at Matt and Matt looked at Nick. The pair silently communicating with each other.
“I hate when you two do that.” Noa speaks up. Nick nearly gives himself whiplash and Matt’s head snaps over to look at her.
“Do what” Nick try’s to play off. Matt rolls his eyes at Nick. Noa looks up at Nick and gives him a blank stare.
“Okay jeez” Nick resigns. Noa rolls her eyes and turns to look at Matt.
“Thank for rescuing me. I just couldn’t. It was all to much then he started talking about how he had already lost me, as if that’s a great excuse for why he cheated on me. God…I feel like such a fucking fool for loving him like I did.” Noa rants. Matt felt horrible for Noa. They had been together for years, strong as ever, they’d been through all kinds of injuries together, faced the worst of days and the best of days, even started a small family, but apparently they weren’t strong enough to withstand the loss of a child. Matt grabbed Noas hand, Noas head shooting to look at him.
“You’re no fool Noa” Matt says gently. Noa rolls her eyes looking away. She sure as hell felt like a fool. Matts jaw ticks and he gently grabs ahold of her chin and turns her to look at him, her eyes diverting from his. His eyes are a lit with a small fire.
“Do not roll your eyes at me Noa” Matt says lowly. Noas heart beat picks up and she starts to get warm-she was a natural submissive-, not making eye contact with Matt.
“Look at me Noa” Matt says. Her eyes meet his, seeing the fire in them.
“First, you’re not a fool, love is love, things happen. Two, do not roll your eyes at me or I will have them rolling backwards into your head” Matt says, the last part quietly in a sultry voice. Noa almost lets out a squeak, nodding at Matt. Matt smirks at her and let’s get chin go and faces forward pulling out his phone.
Noa had basically shut down. In the days after finding out everything, she barely spoke much, which was just like with her postpartum depression. She tried to get TK to get her to room alone while they traveled- as she knew taking more time off would prove detrimental to her in ring abilities- but TK was already worried for the girl he saw as his sister. When she was out after losing the baby, he and the Massie brothers would check up on Noa during her time off, so they knew the signs she gave off with her depression.
After his little debacle with Noa in her first night back, Matthew would try to text her about how she was but she would only text back about work. He would try to confront her at roster wide practices but she would just kind of shake him off.
Noa was walking down the hall to the women’s locker room after her match, as she turned the corner, she saw Jeff leaning against the wall. Noa rolled her eyes. She proceeded to the locker room door and opened it. She was almost through the door when she felt a hand on her upper arm.
“Noa…” Jeff’s voice was soft. Noa blinked and turned around to look at him. Jeff’s blood ran cold at the emptiness in Noas eyes. She didn’t look like herself but still looked like herself.
“Mhm?” Noa hums. Jeff blinks stunned.
“Can we talk?” He asks. Just as Noa was about to respond, Matthew cut in.
“Noa, me and Nicholas need to talk to you”Matthew says, his eyes watching Jeff in the corners of them.
“Can I clean up first” Noa asks looking at Matthew.
“Yea” Matthew nods. She nods back to him and looks at Jeff.
“Good luck with everything Jeff.” Noa says, her eyes not meeting his. She hoped he got the hint she wanted to never talk. Noa turns and enters the locker room to clean up. Jeff turned to look at Matthew.
“You know believe it or not, I really do love Noa…” Jeff starts. Matthew looks at him, with almost a blank stare.
“I just got caught up. Losing our baby…made me lose a part of myself…” Jeff trails off. Matthew shot him a glare.
“Think about how Noa felt. She literally had to birth your baby and go through labor as if she was going to have her baby in her arms. But she got nothing. Nothing but sadness. You were there for her what a week before you asked to come back to work to work on your storyline. How could you do that? I get she probably tried to push you away but I mean how would you feel, losing something that’s literally growing inside of you? Her entire body changed for your guys’ child. She really loved that baby and you. I can’t even imagine how she probably feels seeing you have another baby. Just couldn’t wait til she was healed enough to make love to her ag-” Matthew says, a slight twinge of anger in his voice, getting cut off.
“Matthew.” Nicholas says with sterness. Matthew internally rolls his eyes at his baby brother. This tone was coming from his hot headed baby brother, the one he usually had to do damage control for…now he was doing damage control on Matthew. It didn’t matter if Jeff had known Noa longer -since wwe-, once Matthew and Nick met her when they were doing a surprise appearance at an NJPW show in 2019, Matthew became fiercely protective of Noa. Matthew thought Jeff really loved Noa, he was all he talked about, but like he said after her losing the baby things changed…even his feelings for Noa. His heart stung for his friend. He lost respect for Jeff.
Noa stood in the shower for an extra twenty minutes, wanting to be away from everyone and everything. Noa was numb. Dori had already posted sonogram photos with a happy looking Jeff, so why would he possibly want to talk to her? To give her some half assed apology about his cheating and having another baby? Noa didn’t want to hear it. She was sick of everyone apologizing for the loss of her baby. She didn’t want to hear anything, not about her baby, not about his baby, nothing. It didn’t help the looks were getting worse each week. It was known that Jeff and Noa were together, so it was quick knowledge when Jeff cheated. Noa rolled her eyes at the thoughts and rinsed off, getting ready to go see Matthew and Nicholas. Once she was dry and had on underwear, she made her way to her locker and grabbed her clothes out. She put them on, sighing at the fact she still had to be there.
“Hey Noa wanna get drinks tonight?” Anna asks peeking out from her locker.
“Maybe…” Noa says. Anna nods. It was a better answer then ‘I don’t know’, which she had been giving Anna a lot whenever she invited Noa out, she didn’t feel like going out at getting stared at by her coworkers. Noa finishes dressing and puts her gear in her bag. She zips her bag and shoulders it before leaving the locker room. Noa makes her way down the halls to find the room Matthew and Nicholas were put in. Upon finding and knocking on the door, it opened to reveal Matthew. Matthew motioned Noa in and closed the door behind her. Noa looked around to find Nicholas was not there. Noa turned around and looked at Matthew.
“Where’s Nicholas, Matthew?” Noa asks him. Matthew runs a hand through the end of his ponytail.
“Not here.” Matthew says. Noas face goes blank.
“I wanted to talk to you, you’ve been avoiding every other way” Matthew shrugs.
“Why? There’s nothing to talk about Matthew” Noa states. Matthew lets out a sigh with an undertone of frustration.
“Because you can’t just tell me I’m different and then ignore me. Sure maybe me and Nicholas go a little far with the character, you know we can’t always be ourselves in public. So just being in constant kayfabe is easier…but I’m still the same Matthew” Matthew says. Noa puts her hands up in frustration.
“Is that why you aren’t even calling yourselves by your nickname right now? Hmm ‘Matthew’” Noa sasses. Matthew kisses his teeth.
“Noa.”
“What Matthew” Noa rolls her eyes.
“I’m trying to apologize, shit Noa. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about hearing the rumors, in some honesty though im surprised Anna didn’t tell you-“
“She did but about 3 minutes before I got to gorilla…” Noa says quietly. Matthew almost wants to glare at her.
“You for real Noa. And you’re giving me shit? She’s your best friend!” Matthew says frustratedly. He shakes his head.
“Nonetheless, Dori had literally told me, Nick, and TK about her pregnancy 2 minutes before she went out. All we knew is that she had asked for a segment a few days prior.” Matthew says. Noa soaks in what he’s telling her and it still doesn’t make her feel any better. She lost the two most important things to her.
“Okay” Noa says. Matthew sighs. He knew she had mentally clocked out on this. Matthew nodded in resignation. Noa starts walking to the door and Matthew looks at her.
“You know, you just because you lost the baby and Jeff, doesn’t mean you’ve lost anyone else. I’m still here, Nick is still here, Anna, TK, Jericho…” Matthew says.
“It’s easier to be alone” was all Noa said before leaving the room.
Noa ended up at the hotel bar, which is luckily where Anna was. Noa took a deep breath and sat down next to her at the bar.
“Hi” Noa says. Anna looks to her right and sees Noa. She lets out a smile.
“Hey knockout” Anna continues to smile at her. Noa orders herself a few shots and downs them in record time. Anna lifts an eyebrow but stays quiet. Noa is quiet for a little while and Anna lets her stay quiet, letting her get comfortable. Anna can feel the tension emanating off of Noa as the minutes passed.
“Fuck” Noa groans, waving the bartender over to order a few more shots.
“Y-you okay?” Anna asks hesitantly. Noa looks over at Anna and lets out a sigh.
“I’m mad that you didn’t tell me about the rumors. How long did you know about them?” Noa asks her, looking down at her manicured fingers that lingered on the bar.
“About a week after he came back to action…” Anna says just loud enough. Noa sighs.
“I didn’t think they were true at first, just some dumb shit. And I didn’t want to tell you when you were already in a dark place…I didn’t want to set you down into a darker hole.” Anna quickly explains. Noa nods taking in what she was being told. She knew Anna would never cause her any harm, they looked out for each other, and in a way, Noa was grateful. But boy did she still feel like the world was against her.
“I get it. Just wish you would’ve told me because I could’ve dealt with it head on, instead of dealing with it now…but I understand why you did it, you were looking out for me.” Noa says, some of her words starting to slow and slur. Anna nods.
“I am sorry though.” Anna says.
“I forgive you” Noa says. Anna smiles at her weakly, knowing she had screwed up a little of her trust with Noa.
Noa stumbled out of the elevator onto her floor. She took a deep breath before navigating down the hall to her room. She approached her door and stuck her key card but noticed it wasn’t working.
“Oh come on” she groaned. She tried again and it still didn’t let her have access.
“Fucking hell” Noa was about to kick the door when it opened and there stood Matt Massie, shirtless, hair down-sweeping over his shoulders over his pecs…Noa’s mind nearly stumbled as her heart rate picked up. Matt looked hot. It’s not like Noa hadn’t seen him shirtless before but something about him right now made Noa a little weak minded, but confused. Why was he in her room.
“Why are you in my room and why is my key not working?” Noa rubs her forehead.
“This is mine and Nicks room” Matthew says, a tiredness in his voice.
“Well fuck, okay thanks.” Noa closes her eyes and takes a deep auditable breath, but makes no move to leave.
“You know I’m still partially upset.” Noa sighs. Matthew watches her closely.
“Y’know, I sometimes wonder what it would’ve been like if you were the baby’s father. At least I know you would’ve been there after I lost her. Who knows maybe I wouldn’t have lost her” Noa babbles.
“What?” Matthew asks, trying understand what he just heard. Nicholas sees Matthew’s face flush red and Noa realizes what she just said. There was no denying what she said. Over the last few months that she’s been out, Matthew-with the exception of Nicholas, TK, Jericho and Anna- had checked in on Noa quite a bit. When he had a few days off, he took a trip out to Noa and stayed with her. Meanwhile her own boyfriend basically ignored her, only really answering texts here and there. She found that she really liked have Matthew close to her and that had scared her because she loved Jeff. Seemed all pretty ironic to her now, She let out a small laugh at the horrible irony. Matthew looked at her in question.
“I’m gonna go now” Noa says embarrassed. She turns on her heel and goes to walk but falls off balance and stumbles backwards. Matthew moves quick as lightning and catches Noa. Noas breath gets caught in her throat. Noa looks up at Matthew and sees his brown eyes looking down at her. He had pretty brown eyes, Noa had thought to herself. Matthew tried calling to bring her to reality but she seemed so zoned out on him. Matthew helps her stand upright and that’s when she breaks out of her trance. She lets out a small breath and shakes her head. Matthew closes his room door and wraps Nos arm around his shoulder so he can assist her to her room.
As they got to Noas door a few doors down from Matthew and Nicks, Noa stopped in front of it before turning around to find Matthew in her personal space. Noa looked up into Matthew’s eyes and watched as he looked her over with care. Matthew looked down at where Noas baby had sat, without realizing it, his fingers traced her stomach. He could only imagine how beautiful she would’ve been full term. Matthew heard her breath hitch and as he looked up at her face he noticed her eyes were closed lightly. Matthew’s fingers continued to gently run over Noas warm skin -her wearing a crop top being a heaven sent gift to Noas skin-, causing Noas breath to falter, egging on Matthew’s ego. Matthew looked back down at her stomach where his fingers laid, his thoughts running wild.matthews thoughts and breathing became feral, not going unnoticed by Noa. She opened her eyes and somehow Matthew knew and looked up at her. His eyes were dark and it drew in Noa. Matthew looked down at her stomach then up at her again.
“One day…” he says quietly to her, his fingers tips leaving gentle kisses on her skin before disappearing. Noa was confused and looked at him qurstionably. Matthew looked back up at her.
“Go get some rest, I’ll bring aspirin in the morning” Matthew says, leaning on and pressing a kiss to the corner of Noas mouth. Noa was left frozen as Matthew turned and walked away. When he turned his head to look back, he saw Noa still there. He sighed.
“Noa. Bed.” Matthew says sternly. Matthew’s authoritative voice sent chills down Noas spine. Noa quickly snapped out of her daze and unlocked her room. Once inside she let out a breath.
Noa aka Valerie to the wrestling world, had just finished her makeup when there was a knock at the bathroom door in the womens locker room.
“Coming” she smiled to herself in the mirror as her voice rang out. Anna waited by the door, bouncing on the balls of her feet. Noa opened the door and was greeted with a nervously smiling Anna.
“Okay what’s that look for?” Noa asks Anna as they walk down the hall to gorilla. Anna had heard rumors about her friends beloved boyfriend Jeff. Ones that were eating away at her.
“I’ve been hearing things and I don’t know somethings not right…” Anna says biting her lip. Noa looks at her with question.
“I heard Jeff has been hooking up with Dori…at least that’s whats being said.” Anna says. Noa immediately starts shaking her head.
“No not my Jeff. Dori wouldn’t do that to us. Jeff wouldn’t let her…” Noa trails off, a small amount of doubt settling in her stomach.
“It’s just rumors I’ve been hearing…” Anna whispers. Noa and Anna stop at the gorilla, Nicholas looking up to see Noa with Anna. Nicholas nudges Matthew and Matthew shoots his younger brother a look. Nicholas nods towards Noas direction. Matthews stomach fell. Matthew was told not even five minutes prior by Dori that she wasn’t going to be wrestling for quite some time, no injury, but pregnancy. Matthew immediately knew who the father was as Jeff never stayed far from Dori the last few months. Even when Noa had lost their baby.
“She’s gonna kill us if we know and she doesn’t, specially if she finds out this way.” Matthew says.
“We can’t just tell her Matthew” Nicholas tries to reason. Doris music started to play and not shortly after she began a small speech. Noa had yet to see Jeff but saw him wizzing past her when Dori called ‘Angelo’ to the ring. Noa furrowed her eyebrows and walked over to the screens where Matthew and Nicholas and TK were sitting. She watched the scene unfold. Listening intently she watched the emotions of both Dori and Jeff’s faces. That’s when she dropped a bombshell.
“So I won’t be wrestling for quite sometime…” ‘Ruby’ says into the mic.
“Are you okay” ‘Angelo’ quick to react, it causing Noa to furrow her brows more.
“Angelo I’m pregnant” ‘Ruby’ says. Noa felt her heart rate pick up. She looked over at TK and the EVP’s.
“Who approved this for a storyline, we just lost a kid, how could cre-“ Noa starts to rant. Nicholas quickly shuts her down.
“This wasn’t us or creative…unfortunately…” Nicholas coughs then clears his throat.
“Unfortunately what Nicholas?” Noa says with attitude. Nicholas clenches his jaw and takes a deep breath. He’s been friends with Noa for years and yet her attitude still would make him tweak faster than anyone else giving him attitude.
“She is pregnant…” Matthew says quietly.
“I’m sorry what?!” Noa says with frustration and hurt.
“So it’s true then?” Jeff’s voice came from the curtain. Noa looked up and at Dori and Jeff walking in.
“Yea” she smiles up at him. He smiles down at her with love and adoration. Something he did with Noa. Noa stood completely frozen in place. Her emotions snapped. How could he do this to her. Why would he do this after Noa had just lost their baby. How could he lie and say he was there for her, how could he just let Noa suffer with postpartum because he didn’t listen. How could he do any of it? Dori happened to look up at the silence and saw Noa standing next to the sitting EVPs and President. Her eyes were cast on Jeff, hurt running around in her green eyes, unshed tears building up. Jeff looked up and was met with a distraught Noa. Jeff’s face dropped and his heart went to his stomach.
“Noa…” Jeff all but whispered. Dori had thought that Jeff had broken up with her by now, she felt a little remorse for her. Noa quickly wiped her eyes and took a small breath.
“We’re done.” She simply said. Noa then looked back at the two EVPs and shook her head, she then turned on her heel and walked to the curtain. She had a match to perform, no mater how much her world just crashed and burned.
Noa, or ‘Valerie’, was exhausted. Her and Willow, although being pretty close out of the ring, was a hell of a fighter inside the ring. Willow could see it in Noas eyes, she was broken hearted and a worlds away mentally, still trying to execute her moves with precision, but her head just wasn’t in it, causing her to almost botch a few moves. Meanwhile in the back, Chris Jericho had come back from showering after his match and walked to production to help carry out the rest of the show. When he arrived he saw the panicked faces of Matthew, Nicholas and TK. Just as he looked at the screen, he saw Noa nearly botched another move. He watched her more closely and saw the dead look in her eyes. She seemed turned off mentally. Chris turned to look at the 3 men again.
“Someone wanna tell me what the fuck is up with Noa? She had this shit perfect at practice today, what the hell happened!” Chris spoke. Anna, who happened to come from the locker room, heard the tension in Jerichos voice. She’d been with JAS long enough. She sped walked and saw Chris frustratedly tug his hair into a ponytail. Anna slowly made her way closer to Chris and the production table.
“You know what’s up with her Jay?” Chris asks looking down at Anna. Anna bit her lip. TK tried to say something but couldn’t speak.
“I swear to god someone better fucking tell me!” Chris says. Without realizing it, Noa had already won the match and walked through the curtain.
“Jeff cheated on me and got Dori pregnant.” Noa says emotionlessly. Chris spun around and looked at Noa. Her eyes were drained of her color and she looked exhausted.
“Excuse me?” Chris asks flabbergasted.
“You heard me Chris.” Noa says looking around at the small crowd that was looking at her.
“Go about your business people. I’ll go about mine” Noa says addressing everyone. Everyone quickly looked away and went back to their jobs.
“I’m gonna go shower and head back to the hotel. Youll be ready for the hotel Anna?” Noa says starting to walk off.
When the girls got back to the hotel, it was very quiet. Noa didn’t really want to talk about what happened. She wanted it put out of her mind. She loved Jeff, she loved their baby…she missed their baby. Postpartum hadn’t been kind to Noa. She was numb for a long time, not having much emotion. Just as she was medically cleared to wrestle again, did she start feeling more like herself. She knew she’d being Jeff as he continued to just do his job. He spent maybe a week with Noa when she had the miscarriage but after telling TK about her depression, he gave her some more time. Now after being cleared this shit happens.
‘I’ll never catch a break’ bounced around in Noas mind.
Anna ordered them some food and tried to act like it would be just a regular night after an evening in the ring. It seemed to help a little but Noa still wouldnt really talk. Sure, here and there a few phrases, mostly manners, but nothing else.
EVP1- I found about 5 minutes before you came to gorilla that Dori was really pregnant. I’d never try to hide that from you.
Noa- like you hid the rumors about them.
EVP1- do you know how much shit me and Nicholas and TK deal with, there’s many rumors milling around, im sorry I didn’t babysit your bf while you were gone.
Noa- oh fuck off Matt.
EVP1- Noa.
Noa- no fuck off Matt. This whole EVP thing has gone straight to your damn head outside of kayfabe. The Matt I know doesn’t hide shit from me. He tells me every little thing.
Noa turned off her notifications and plugged in her phone. Anna watched as Noa had emotions running through her body language. That’s when Anna got a message from Matt talking about what just happened. Anna silently sighed. Noa didn’t need stress. She didn’t need any of this. Oh how Anna wished this was just some storyline or fucked up dream for Noa.
