A few weeks had passed; Meredith's furniture had been delivered to her house, the rooms were painted, and her condo was finally complete. Dean, Seth and Roman had retained their titles at the Elimination Chamber PPV and started to train a lot harder than usual to get ready for Wrestlemania 30 in the spring. They all wanted to main event the pay-per-view, so each man trained hard everyday, hoping their work would pay off.

Meredith was now living in LA for over a month, and her feelings for Dean hadn't vanished. If anything, they grew more than she'd imagined, but she kept them well hidded. Dean, also, had made zero attempt in flirting. However, Meredith hadn't heard from Dustin recently, so that was a plus. She hoped she'd never hear from him again, but knew she was asking for too much.

Dean and Roman showed up to Seth's condo; Meredith could hear the loud, familiar voiced through the thick wall that separated the two homes. She couldn't make out their words, but heard a little girl's voice come from the other side of the wall as well. Meredith stepped out on the balcony, shut her door, and walked through the open entrance of Seth's abode.

"Hey guys." Meredith seemed caught off guard.

Dean quickly turned to her and hid his smile by running his tongue on the inside of his bottom lip. "Hi."

"Mer, how rude of me." Roman picked up the little girl and brought her over to Meredith. "This is my daughter, Ava."

"You're very pretty." Meredith smiled at the child.

Ava reached her arms out to Meredith; she wanted to be held. Meredith brought Ava welcomingly into her arms and Ava clung to her like a koala. Dean watched Meredith as she held the child; she looked so natural. He had thought of having kids of his own one day, but wanted a wife that would treat them better than his mother had done him.

"I see you've met little Ava." Seth laughed as he shook his wet hair from his recent shower.

"She's adorable." Meredith gave a soft smile.

"We gotta go." Roman grabbed Ava from Meredith. "I only came over to drop Dean off. I'm having a family day with Ava and Joselynn."

"And I'm going on a date with Leighla." Seth shrugged.

"So I'm stuck babysitting Dean?" Meredith chuckled.

"It would appear so." Dean gave her a wicked smile.

"Don't have too much fun, guys." Seth laughed as him and Roman headed out of his condo. He was used to the flirting between the two and it hadn't bothered him for a while.

Dean and Meredith stood on opposite sides of the room trying to think of ways to pass time.

"We could go to Anaheim?" Dean offered.

"Why Anaheim?" Meredith lifted an eyebrow.

"Your Tinkerbell night shirt gave me the idea of Disney Land." He laughed.

Meredith blushed, "I'll go change." She smiled as she got up to leave.

"Only change. No getting ready." Dean ordered.

"Yeah, yeah." Meredith rolled her eyes and teased.

Meredith tied her hair up with a navy bandanna accompanied with a navy shirt and white shorts. She quickly slid her small feet into a white pair of Chuck Taylor's and hurried back to Dean who was sitting on Seth's counter top with his arms crossed; making his muscles look even bigger than usual. Dean looked down at his phone.

"Seven minutes, not bad." He grinned.

"Ready?"

"I was born ready, pretty girl." Dean jumped down from the counter and grabbed the spare key to Seth's condo and locked it up before they left.

Dean and Meredith walked down the steps to her car and buckled themselves in for a day of adventure.

"Want a balloon?" Dean offered.

"No thank you," Meredith laughed, "I don't want to look like a little kid."

Dean shrugged, "Suit yourself."

Meredith walked around the amusement park with Dean for a while with her thumbs jammed into her pockets. He looked down and noticed how hesitant she was. He didn't want her to be nervous around him; he wasn't a scary guy. Without thinking, Dean grabbed Meredith's hand and interlocked his fingers with his. Meredith's whole body tingled, but she said nothing. Her whole face was a rose color, and Dean knew then he had done exactly what she wanted him to do.

The two of them sat down on a bench and took in the beautiful scenery of the amusement park. It was her first time - being at Disney Land, that is. Dean and Meredith still held hands as they lied against the warm metal bench. Dean wouldn't do anymore hinting around; if Meredith wanted him, she would have to make the first move.

"I wanna go on Space Mountain." Dean spoke up. "Wanna ride me?"

Meredith's face flushed and she giggled nervously, saying nothing.

"Shit," Dean blushed, "I mean do you want to ride with me?"

"I'd love to." Meredith blushed as the two of them stood up and headed over to the indoor ride. Their hands never unlocked.

The wait took about 30 minutes, but at least their were in an air conditioned building. They kept heading closer and closer until they finally reached the front of the line. A little boy in front of them turned around and looked at Dean with astonishment glazed over his face. He was obviously a fan.

"Oh my god." The boy choked on his words. "You're...you're..."

"Dean Ambrose." He gave the kid a grin.

"You're like my favorite wrestler! You're the best!" He shrieked.

"I try my best."

"Will you sign my hat?" The boy pulled his Mickey Mouse hat off of his head and handed it out to Dean. The boy's mother handed him a pen from her purse.

"Sure." Dean signed the letters 'DA' on the hat and gave the boy a noogie and planted the over-sized hat back on his head.

Dean didn't mind little kids or other fans coming up to him; just not swarms or mobs of people at once. He was just a normal guy who deserved the same treatment as everyone else.

"Thank you so much!" The boy smiled and galloped away to the front of the ride.

"Wow, Dean. That was nice." Meredith smiled.

"You sound shocked." Dean lifted an eyebrow at her.

"No, just-"

"Listen, Meredith; I'm not a scary person." Dean assured her.

Meredith looked into Dean's eyes which were now a deep blue filled with a mixture of honesty and disappointment. Meredith said nothing and they stepped into the seats shaped like rocketships.

The ride home was a little awkward, but they got through it. Meredith turned down the radio which Dean was growing more fond of nowadays. She didn't think, she just let her words out.

"I wasn't presuming you were a scary guy, Dean." Dean said nothing and she continued on. "I just mean that..er..I don't know. You're really intimidating sometimes; you seem pretty solitary."

Dean bit the inside of his cheek and let out a huff. "I'm not. I just don't broadcast my life like most celebrities. I've always been portrayed as a sick guy, so I just go with it now."

"I don't look at you as a celebrity, Dean."

"I know you don't, Meredith, and I like it that way."

"You don't make first moves by chance, do you?" She kept her eyes on the road.

Dean hid the smile creeping across his face and cleared his throat, "Nope."

Meredith sighed and they reached their destination of the car lot to the condominiums. Meredith knew if she wanted Dean, she would have to be the one to make the first move.

The two of them trudged their tired bodies up the stairs to Meredith's condo. However, it felt like they had been walking for forever, even though it was a mere 20 feet or less. They were both so exhausted from the day of adventure they had shared together. Meredith supported her body against the railing and reached around for her key in her pocket to open the door to her condo.

"Do you want to come in for a little bit?" Meredith offered.

"I can't." Dean frowned. "I've gotta go train and pick up my car from the shop."

Meredith's face was swept with disappointment; she wasn't ready for her day to end with Dean, even if she had spent the last nine hours with him.

"Oh." Meredith hid her sadness. "That's alright."

"Yeah, sorry." He regretted. "I had fun with you, though." Dean gently nudged her shoulder.

Meredith said nothing. All she could think about was making a move. How do I do this? What do I do? Where do I start? Several questions flooded into Meredith's mind simultaneously. She unlocked her door and opened it, standing in the doorway.

"Thanks for the fun day, Dean." Meredith spoke in the most angelic of voices.

Before Dean could say anything, Meredith greeted his left cheek with her lips. That's not what she wanted to do. She wanted to kiss his lips, but she had chickened out. A satisfied grin crept across Dean's face. He roughly pulled her body against him and held her face in his right hand; caressing her sun-kissed cheek with his thumb. Instead of kissing her like he wanted, he spoke instead.

"Anytime pretty girl." He pressed her against the wall and their foreheads touched. This was it. He was going to kiss her. Dean looked down at his ringing phone, "I gotta run, I'll talk to you later, alright?"

Before Meredith could debate, Dean was already halfway down the stairs running in the direction of the Crossfit gym. Meredith caught her breath, walked inside and gently closed the door. She stood against the cool metal and slid down it slowly, touching the floor and grinned from cheek to cheek. She knew she would have to make a move soon. The guys were all going on a tour this coming week and Meredith had no time to waste. It was now or never.
