Sarah entered the arena on a nice spring day for Raw in a very good mood. She had her children with her and they were walking through the hallways, each of them holding one of her hands tightly.

Eden and Michael were excited to be on the road this week. It was their spring break from school and Sarah had decided that they were getting good enough grades, and were behaving great enough, to take this trip. She liked rewarding them for doing well since it was a good motivational tool. Plus, they deserved it.

#*#*#*#*#

Eden was now 6 years old and in the first grade. She was a mirror image of her mother, in both looks and personality, with the exception of her blue eyes and dimples. Those traits she inherited from her father, Dean Ambrose.

#*#*#*#*#

Michael was now 5 years old and was in Kindergarten. He looked exactly like Dean, but he had Sarah's laid back and shy nature. He did share his father's loyal and fiercely protective nature though.

One time, Michael had even stomped a man in the foot for eyeing Sarah up and down, which made her feel majorly uncomfortable. He'd sensed his mom was uneasy, so he marched up to the man, stomped him in the foot as hard as he possibly could, and yelled "Leave my mommy alone!"

Despite the fact that Michael shouldn't have acted that way towards an adult, both Dean and Sarah didn't have it in their hearts to scold their son. After all, he was just protecting his mom since Dean wasn't there to do it. It was a sweet gesture and it only showed just the kind of man he'd grow up to be.

#*#*#*#*#

Sarah, Eden, and Michael were almost near Dean's locker room now. He had no idea that his family was going to be here and she couldn't wait to see the look on her husband's face.

#*#*#*#*#

When Eden and Michael started school, Dean and Sarah made the decision to not only move to Arkansas full time, but to have the kids stay with either Marie or Noel when they were on the road during the school year.

It wasn't easy leaving their children behind, in fact it was heartbreaking every time Dean and Sarah left home, but it ensured that Eden and Michael led a somewhat normal life.

Of course the kids would join their parents during school breaks and summer vacation, which was the couple's favorite times. Then, they were able to be a regular family.

#*#*#*#*#

Eden and Michael started jumping up and down, then yelled "Uncle Paul!" when they came across Hunter talking to Finn Balor. The kids tore away from their mom and ran over to their uncle to hug him tightly.

Hunter knelt down and embraced his niece and nephew with a smile on his face. He gave each of them a kiss on the head and said "I missed you, munchkins. Are you two being good for your mommy?" "Uh huh." Michael replied quietly. "Yes, sir." Eden responded with a nod.

"They really are, except for being a little extra hyper today." Sarah said. Hunter stood up and gave his sister a hug. "Have you seen Jon yet?" he asked. "Not yet. I've been looking for him. Do you know where he is?" she responded. "He's probably headed to ringside. He's got a match against Claudio tonight." Hunter told her.

"Thanks, bro. And thank you for keeping this secret from Jon. I can't wait to see how he reacts." Sarah said. "You're welcome, sis. You gonna be on the show tonight or do you need the night off?" Hunter asked. "I'll be on tonight, but I'll need to leave the kids with Jon so I can get ready." she replied. "Okay. I'll let you get to it then." he responded before walking away.

Sarah grasped Eden and Michael's hands with hers and turned to head for the curtain area. They were partway there when she saw Dean emerge from Roman's locker room. The kids squealed upon seeing him and started shouting "Daddy! Daddy!"

#*#*#*#*#

Dean turned around and was almost tackled off his feet by his kids. He dropped to his knees with a huge smile and hugged them tightly to his body. Dean couldn't believe that Eden and Michael were here, but he was thrilled beyond words that they were.

Dean kissed them both and said "I missed you, princess. I missed you, little man. I love you both so much." "I love you too, daddy." Eden and Michael responded. He gave them another hug and kiss before standing up.

Dean walked up to Sarah and pulled her into his arms. He buried his face in her hair and murmured "Thank you so much, babe. I love you." "I love you too, baby." she murmured back. Dean pulled somewhat back and lowered a quick, sweet kiss to her lips. Sarah responded for a minute before pulling back.

"I know you have to work out your match with Claudio, but I need to get ready for tonight. Paul asked me to be on the show tonight since I'm already here. So, can you watch the kids?" Sarah asked. "Sure, babe. Joe can help me keep an eye on them." Dean replied. "Have fun with that. Marie decided to load them up on sugar before we got on the plane." she said. He groaned, but told her "Go ahead, babe. We'll be fine. Won't we, kids?"

"Yeah, daddy." Eden said. "We'll be good, mommy. Promise." Michael added. Sarah smiled and leaned down to kiss them. "Be good for your dad and Uncle Joe. Be careful out there, okay?" she told them.

"We will." Eden told her mom. "They'll be fine, babe." Dean added. "I know." Sarah said. She then gave her husband a quick kiss before heading off to wardrobe.

#*#*#*#*#

Dean took hold of his kid's hands and led them down to the ringside area. He took them over to the announce table and got them to sit down behind it.

"Stay right here where it's safe. Alright?" Dean asked. Eden and Michael nodded their agreement, so he made sure they were settled before getting into the ring to warm up.

Roman walked down the ramp a few minutes later with dinner for the kids. He set down a couple of sandwiches, some chips, apple slices with low-fat caramel dip, and juice in front of them. Eden and Michael thanked him by saying "Thank you, Uncle Joe." before beginning to eat. Roman ruffled their hair and said "You're welcome." before getting into the ring to join Dean.

Dean stopped what he was doing and said "Thanks, bro. I didn't have time to hit catering before warming up." "I know. I ran into Sarah and she asked me if I'd get them something. It's no problem." Roman responded. "Still, thank you." the younger man said. The older man shrugged his gratitude off since he really didn't need it.

Cesaro finally came down to the ring and he and Dean were finally able to get down to work.

#*#*#*#*#

Cesaro and Dean were almost done a little while later. They decided to do a 'Cesaro Swing' towards the end of the match, but they weren't going to practice it now.

"I know you like practicing everything, but I can only do that mess once." Dean said. "Mess?" Cesaro asked in an amused tone of voice. "I don't curse in front of my kids. Well, I try not to anyways." the blonde replied as he nodded over to where his kids were sitting near Roman. "Ah. That's understandable." the Swiss Superman responded.

The guys decided on the finish, and were about to exit the ring, when Michael stood up from his chair. "I wanna swing!" he said.

Dean walked over to his son and asked "Do you mean on a playground or something? We can do that tomorrow I bet." "No, daddy, I want him to swing me. It looks like fun." Michael replied shyly.

Cesaro came over to the table, knelt down, and said "You're a little young to do the swing I normally do, but I could use your help with a new move. It's a reverse swing. Can you help me practice it?" Michael got a big smile on his face and said "Yes, sir."

Dean nodded to Cesaro that it was okay with him, so he took Michael by the hand and helped him into the ring. He picked the boy up underneath his arms and started swinging him around in circles slowly. Cesaro didn't want to make him sick after all.

Michael started laughing and let out a couple of squeals as he was twirled around. The little boy was so caught up with the fun he was having, and Dean and Roman were busy taking pictures, that they didn't hear Sarah walk down the ramp and ask "What in the world is going on?"

#*#*#*#*#

Cesaro put Michael down and the boy ran up to his mom. Sarah helped her son out of the ring and put him on the floor. Eden got up and went to her mom as well, then gave her a hug.

Michael looked up at his mom and said "I helped Mr Cesaro with a new move, mommy. It was fun!" "Really?" Sarah asked. "I did." he told her with a smile that was eerily similar to his father's. The smile that always melted her heart. She sighed and said "Well, as long as you had fun and were careful, then it's okay." Sarah might have been talking to her son, but she was looking at Cesaro and Dean.

Roman walked up to Sarah and the kids, and said "Why don't you let me take the munchkins to the locker room. Colby said he'd watch them during the match." Eden got excited at this and asked "Can we go see Uncle Sethie now? Please?" "Go ahead. Behave though." Sarah replied. "Thank you, mommy!" Eden said excitedly. Roman then started to lead them to the back.

As they walked away, Michael looked up at Roman and said "Daddy's in trouble. He's going to sleep on the couch tonight."

Roman and Cesaro had to fight the urge to howl in laughter. Dean grumbled under his breath in response, which made Sarah giggle. The kids were finally ushered backstage and the brunette turned towards the two men left.

"I was being careful with him, I promise. I would never endanger your son. He wanted me to do the swing on him, so I came up with the reverse swing as an alternative." Cesaro told her. "Yeah, babe. I wouldn't let Claudio do it if I didn't think it was safe. You know that." Dean added.

Sarah looked at both men carefully before beginning to laugh loudly, which confused both men. "Y'all do know I'm not upset, right? You just assumed I was, so I decided to mess with you." she said.

Cesaro started laughing and said "That was a good one." He shook his head and walked out of the ring to the back, which left the couple alone.

#*#*#*#*#

Dean raised his eyebrow at his wife and walked up to her. He backed Sarah against the ring apron and trapped her between the ring and his strong body. A shiver went through her body as he nuzzled her neck and on up to her ear.

"You've been very, very sneaky today, my dear wife. You know what I'm gonna do about that?" Dean rasped into her ear. "What?" Sarah asked breathlessly. "I'm going to get Joe and Colby to watch the kids tomorrow night. I'm gonna tie your sexy ass to the bed and make you beg for me. Then I'll make you cum so hard that you pass out." he replied before nibbling on her earlobe.

Sarah gasped and her jaw dropped while her cheeks turned bright red. Her body trembled against his with a mixture of desire and pure lust. Dean lowered a searing kiss to her lips before backing away. He grabbed her hand and led her backstage so they could finish getting ready.

#*#*#*#*#

After the show was over, Dean carried Eden and Sarah carried Michael onto the bus. The kids had fallen asleep during the show even though it was a little earlier than they usually went to bed. But the excitement and length of the day caught up to them and they passed out as soon as they laid back.

Dean and Sarah tucked Eden and Michael into separate bunks, then kissed them good night.

The couple went into the bedroom after making sure their children were resting peacefully. They changed their pajamas and climbed into bed together.

Dean pulled Sarah into his arms and held her in his embrace tightly. "I love you, babe." he said. "I love you too, baby." she responded before they fell into a deep, restful slumber.
