"Hey mom" Destiny said walking into the kitchen after school. "Auntie Michelle wants a word." I nodded and hobbled to the front door. "What are you doing up?" Michelle demanded. I frowned. "Destiny said you wanted a word" I said. She nodded. "She also took off before I could finish telling her I was on my way in" she said. Destiny groaned from the kitchen. "Sorry!" she called. "Mom, where's dad? Shouldn't he be here?" "He's at the wrestling school with uncle Colby" I said. Michelle looked at me quickly. I nodded towards the living room and she followed me in, closing the door behind her.
"Thats good, right?" she asked warily. I shrugged, sitting down. "Honestly" I said. "I haven't got a clue what's good or bad for us anymore. I just know that him being cooped up here bored day after day would drive us both crazy. He needs that school Michelle." She nodded. "Joe tore his resignation up" she said finally. "We all know he just needs time Tor. This injury, it's plagued him for years. Maybe now is the time to get the surgery he needs." I shook my head. "You know Jon" I said. "Surgery isn't an option. Admitting he's human isn't an option..." "Because i have a superhuman wife" Jon said, poking his head around the door. "Superhuman?" Destiny asked, bringing in coffee. "Super horny is more like it. Earplugs couldn't drown you two out last night! I know I you're broody, but jeez mom! Give dad chance to recover!" Jon winked at me. "Yeah Tor, you freaking animal" he smirked. I threw a cushion at him and he laughed, kissing me softly. "Love you momma" he whispered. "I'm gonna go shower. Feel free to join me." I smiled and slapped his ass as he walked off. "Kinky, Mrs Good" he warned. I blew him a kiss and he smiled, closing the door behind him.
"You two are still so freaking cute" Michelle groaned. Destiny excused herself and I waited for her to leave the room before I spoke. "I need a girls night" I said. "Can you sort it with Brie and Nikki?" Michelle frowned but nodded. "Anywhere in particular?" she asked. I shook my head. "Just need a night with my girls before I'm too old" I said smiling. "Forty isn't old Tor" she laughed. "Besides, you're only as old as the man you're feeling..." "Jon's 45 Michelle" I warned. She groaned. "And still acting like he did when you first met" she said. "Whats with this broody thing? Surely you're not serious? Another baby?" I shrugged. "Probably not" I said quietly. "Age isn't exactly on our side. But Jon has his heart set on it now, so you know he's gonna wanna try until it's a definite no." She looked at me thoughtfully. "How far along Tor?" she asked quietly. I looked at her quickly. "What?" I asked quietly. "Torrie" she warned. "I know you better than you know yourself. How far?" "About four months" I confessed. "But please, Chelle, the kids don't know. Not yet. Jon and I, we kinda talked about it last night, but things got in the way. He's got his heart set on it already." "And you?" she asked. "Me?" I asked. "I'm just plain scared." "Understandable" she said, holding my hand. "I gotta go. But anything you need, just call, ok? I'll set things up with Brie and Nikki too. No, don't see me out. Rest that foot. I'll call you later." I nodded and smiled weakly as she left.
"I think we should tell the kids" Jon whispered, kissing my head as we lay in bed. I nodded. "Yeah" I said. "The longer we leave it the less time they have to get used to it before the baby is actually here." "Torrie?" he asked. "Did you just agree with me?" I smiled and did a double take. "Shit" I groaned, feeling my head. "Think I must be coming down with something." He laughed and pulled me closer to him. "You know I love you, right?" he asked quietly. I froze. When he started a sentence with those words, it never ended well. "What have you done?" I asked finally. "I, uh, spoke to Hunter earlier" he said sheepishly. I shrugged. "So?" I asked. He took a deep breath before his next sentence. "The Shield are going into the Hall of Fame before Wrestlemania this year" he said. "And hunter wants you to be the one to induct us." "No way" I squealed, sitting up quickly. "That's awesome! About time you guys got the recognition!" Jon laughed. "You too you dimwit" he said. I frowned. "How the fuck do I induct myself into the Hall of Fame?" I asked. He shook his head. "You don't" he said simply. "The Shield are going in as a faction. You, my super amazingly talented wife, are going in on your own. You're going in twice in one night. Congrats Tor." "And Hunter let you tell me?" I asked, suddenly catching on. Jon blushed. "Um" he said. "When he phones you tomorrow, can you not let on that you know? Didn't want you getting a big shock in your condition, thought I'd soften the blow." I smiled. "Thanks for that" I whispered kissing him. "Wonder if I can squeeze into the dress I wore to the ceremony when I was pregnant with Dessie." Jon grinned. "Try" he said. "I'd like to actually be the one accompanying you when you wear it, just for a change." I smiled. "I love you dumbass" I moaned, leaning over and kissing him softly. "Show me" he moaned, pulling me on top of him.
