I want to thank MrsRKOCena, Ainat and BournePriceless54 for the awesome reviews!
The car ride from the hospital to Cody's parents house was relatively short, and Erynn could tell that Cody was still in alot of pain as they continued on the trip.
"Are you feeling any better?" Erynn asked as Dusty pulled into the driveway.
"A little. I just want to crawl into a nice comfortable bed and get some sleep."
Erynn smiled softly as she crawled out of the car first and then went to the other side to help Cody out of the car.
"Cody, you guys can stay in your old room," Michelle said as they all entered into the house.
"Ok, good night guys," Cody said as he and Erynn slowly walked upstairs and turned left down a hallway.
"Well, Erynn, here is my old room," Cody said as he opened the door.
Erynn was impressed how nice sized the room was, and how it looked like someone recently lived in the room, not like 10 years ago.
"I'm impressed," Erynn said.
"What are you so impressed about?"
"It looks like someone lived in this room recently...not like ten years ago."
"Well, I only moved out on my own like a year or two ago," Cody chuckled. "Can I ask a HUGE favor?"
"What's that?"
"Could I get a neck and back massage?" Cody asked as he stuck out his lower lip.
Erynn giggled as Cody took off his shirt, grimacing in more pain. "Sit at the end of the bed..."
Cody's grin turned into smile, knowing he won. "Ahhh...that feels nice," Cody exclaimed as Erynn's hands started rubbing his neck, and then made their way to his shoulders and middle back.
"You give awesome massages," Cody said.
Erynn giggled again as her hands continued to move back and forth. "By the way...thank you for that picture I found in the bedroom."
"Your welcome. I was going through some boxes the other day, and I came across it. We looked really happy, didn't we?"
"Yeah," she said quietly. She then stopped the massage and got off the bed.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
"I want to tell you something, but I'm not quite sure how to say it."
Cody smirked as leaned back on the bed. "You know you can tell me anything, right?"
Erynn only nodded. "That phone call made me realize that every time you leave on a road trip...there is always going to be this possibility that you could get hurt. I don't know if I can handle getting another phone call like that."
"The WWE isn't all roses. Yes, there is always a chance that this could happen, but this is my career, and I'm sorry, I'm not giving it up."
"I didn't ask you to give it up."
"If you want, in the morning, we can talk with my dad and he can re-assure you about being a wrestler's wife. My mom has gone through the same stuff. I know that you really weren't exposed to this before and its all new. How about when I make my return, you come with me, and you can meet Randy's wife, Sam and Ted's wife, Kristen. You guys can compare notes on how to keep yourselves sane," Cody said.
"I can go on the road with you?"
"Yeah. The guys bring their wives and families all the time. I'll even make sure Randy and Ted bring their wives when I come back."
"Ok," Erynn agreed as she started massaging Cody's shoulders again. She stopped again after a few minutes and carefully wrapped her arms around his neck. "Can I tell you something else?"
"Sure babe, what is it?"
Erynn waited another moment and bit her lip. "I'm starting to fall in love you with all over again."
Smiling Cody turned toward Erynn. "You love me?"
"Yeah I do."
"I guess all I can say is that I love you too," he said as he placed a soft kiss on her lips.
After another half hour of short kisses, talking and some more I Love You's, Cody was getting comfortable in bed.
"Well, I will sleep on the floor so you can be comfortable," Erynn said as she threw a pillow on the floor.
"I think I would be more comfortable in bed with you. I won't bite. I promise."
Saying nothing, Erynn climbed in the bed, and snuggled into Cody's arms. She liked the feeling of being in his arms.
"Good night Cody."
"Good night. I love you."
Erynn then scooted herself closer to Cody, and placed a kiss on his lips. "I love you too."
Cody smiled as Erynn got comfortable again. She was finally comfortable with him at her, or now their apartment. She finally agreed to give this marriage a real try, and she finally expressed her love for him. Life couldn't get any better he thought as he drifted off to sleep.
