It's Monday, so in honor of Raw being on tonight, I made sure to update :) I spent most of the day yesterday writing more to this story and there's a lot of OMG moments coming up...for this chapter each couple has their own heartfelt special moment (the kind that makes you want to vomit if it happened in real life)...Thanks for the adds and reviews as always! Enjoy!


After the show, the five headed out to dinner, but things were awkward. It was clear that Liz was overly tired and irritated, but rather then getting grouchy with everyone, she didn't say much. She had tried to tell Punk to just go ahead without her, but Ginger had insisted that she tag along. Around 11, Leon started to show signs of being tired, so everyone decided to say goodnight and planned on meeting up sometime before the baby was born.

On the way back to hotel, Liz was quiet and Punk hesitated to say anything not wanting her to snap at him. He had explained why he was late to the show and that he'd watched Colt's match back stage; she claimed to forgive him, but Punk knew there was something up. Once they got back to their hotel room, Liz went to take a shower while Punk got Louie situated taking him for a walk around the local park. When he came back, he found Liz laying in bed. Assuming she was asleep, he quietly undressed before climbing into bed and snuggling up close to her. He leaned forward to kiss the top of her head and realized she was still awake, which he found odd seeing she was clearly exhausted.

"Are you okay?" Punk brushed a piece of hair out of her face as she rolled over to face him.

"No I'm not; I'm exhausted, but I can't sleep."

"Welcome to my world! I can deal with very little sleep where you need all the sleep you can get right now, so what can I do?"

"I don't know, I'm a mess right now. I know I've been acting crazy lately, but it's like I have no control over it. I feel like I'm trapped in someone else's body with the constant mood swings and the crying for no reason, not to mention the weight gain. Being pregnant isn't as fantastic as I thought it would be. Magazines and movies show it as this fantastic experience, but it's been nothing like that. This is supposed to be a happy time and I've been nothing but miserable."

"This is all completely normal, messed up and frustrating yes, but normal. I'd be lying if I said things were fantastic because I do walk on eggshells once in a while because I'm afraid that something I say or do might upset you, or stress you out. I've learned quickly that the mood swings and crying is not you and it's out of your control. You might feel miserable, but there have been plenty of days where things have been great. Just try to focus on the end point where we'll have a baby that's a little bit of you and a little bit of me. Besides we've got eighteen years to be miserable, there's no reason to start now." Punk noticed a smile spread across her lips as he pulled her closer to him.

"I suppose I should make the best out of the next four months because the scary part begins once he or she is here. I've read the books, but I honestly don't feel any more prepared to be a parent. I'm especially scared of having to do it alone." Punk felt an ache in his chest hearing her words. He still felt selfish about his decision not to retire, but he also felt like it was the right decision. The company was in a difficult position with so many guys either being suspended or injured, so the last thing they needed was for Punk to turn in his resignation papers. He wasn't sure how he was going to balance family and his career, but he knew he had to figure it out soon.

"I don't think anyone ever feels prepared to be a parent, so you're definitely not alone there. As far as you doing it alone, I'm doing everything I can to make sure that I'm there as much as I can be. I want to be there to support you and I know I need to be there to develop a bond with my kid. I already know it's not going to be easy, but I'll do whatever I have to. Please try not to stress about it though, I think I'm doing that enough for both of us."

"I know that no matter what happens we'll make due and we'll be okay, but it's still a scary situation. I'm just hoping that the rest of this pregnancy goes as planned and we have one of those fantastic babies that sleep through the night and rarely cry."

"I'm hoping for the same thing, but I doubt we'll get that lucky. Then again I was a pretty calm baby, my mom always said I was the easiest to deal with. What about you?"

"I was the complete opposite! Why else do you think my parents stopped at one kid? I was quite the handful."

"Fantastic! Well let's hope our kid is more like me then."

"No thank you, I couldn't bear two of you always thinking you're right!" Punk laughed resting his hand on Liz's stomach feeling the baby moving around.

"It's going to be a long night! I guess our jiu jitsu martial artist is awake, therefore so is mommy."

"Well if mommy is awake then so is daddy. Good thing I'm used to never sleeping." Liz smiled as she moved closer to Punk resting her head on his chest. He ran his fingers through her dark brown hair and within fifteen minutes they were both sound asleep.


Once Ginger made sure that Leon was sound asleep, she joined Colt in the master suite. He was flipping through the channels looking for something on TV but wasn't having much luck. Without either of them really thinking about what they were going to say or how the other would react, they both decided that particular time was a good time for baby talk. Ginger crawled into bed beside Colt who in turn turned off the TV focusing his attention on her.

"So I have something that I wanted to talk to you about and I think I know how you feel, but I wanted to make sure." Ginger chewed her lip feeling her nerves kick in.

"That's funny because I wanted to talk to you about something too."

"Okay well you go first."

"No you go first."

"Okay how about we just both say what we're thinking at the same time."

"That could work; I say we give it a try." Ginger nodded smiling a little.

"Let's go then; one, two…" At the count of three both Ginger and Colt spoke simultaneously. "Let's have a baby."

"Are you serious Ging, you really want to have a baby?"

"Yes I'm totally serious. I've been thinking about it for a while, but kept convincing myself it wasn't the right time. Now is the right time. Leon is the perfect age and he said today he wants a sibling."

"I can't believe it was this easy to agree on something. I got the idea that you wanted a baby the way you were looking at Trevor tonight, but I still figured you'd need some convincing."

"No convincing this girl, but I figured you'd need time to think about it."

"I've been thinking about it for a few weeks, so my mind is 100%." Ginger smiled as she leaned forward to kiss Colt. The sweet innocent kisses they exchanged gradually turned into a full on make out session as Colt removed Ginger's pajamas. Ginger straddled his lap as he guided her onto him both of them letting out a moan. After an hour and two full rounds of sex, the couple laid in bed both feeling exhausted.

"When we make a decision we go all in!" Colt laughed as he placed a kiss on her shoulder.

"Frankly if I knew it would've been this amazing, I would've never thought about it!"
