Lexi sat in the front row with her kids. Elijah in her lap. She was nervous for Dean, knowing what this meant for him.
"You think daddy is nervous?", Gracie whispered to me.
"He might not look it, but he is", she whispered back.
Gracie nodded, knowing her dad well. He didn't have to say anything and they knew when he was mad, nervous, and disappointed. Nick walked over to Lexi and told her it was time. She nodded and handed Elijah to Aunt Rose before making her way to the back.
She would be introducing the Shield into the Hall of Fame. She saw her husband, his hands in his pockets. She walked over to him and set her hand on his chest. He flinched before meeting her eyes. He must have been deep in thought.
"You ok?", she asked.
He nodded.
"Nervous?", she asked.
He smirked and set his hands on her hips.
"Never, it's like you don't know me at all doll", he said.
That was Dean Ambrose.
"I was speaking to Jon, because yes, I know him very well", she said.
His eyes softened.
"A little", he admitted.
She kissed him.
"Just let Dean make the speech. He always does what needs to be done", she said smiling.
"Which one of us do you love more?", he asked.
"You", she said.
He smiled and she touched his cheek gently. She kissed him once more before walking out after her music played. She smiled out to the crowd.
"When they asked me to induct The Shield into the Hall of Fame, I said yes right away. I knew that if anyone deserved this honor, it was those three men. They were the same, but yet, so different. They each brought something to the table, which if you asked me turned out pretty well for them.", she said.
Some of the fans cheered.
"Roman Reigns, no matter what anyone, including the haters threw his way, he dealt with like a true superstar. Like a true leader. Head held high, with steady hands. I admire him a lot, and I'm happy and honored to call him not just my friend, but my family.", she said.
The crowd cheered.
"Seth Rollins, owns every match he's in, or like his song says, he burns it down. His passion for wrestling is one to admire, you could call him the best in the world, I know I do. Thank you for not only being my best friend, but a damn good brother in law and uncle.", she said.
The crowd chanted Burn It Down. Lexi laughed softly.
"And last, but never least, my amazing and wonderful husband", she said, tears welling up in her eyes.
The crowd cheered.
"Sorry", she said, dabbing at the tears before they fell.
She took a deep breath.
"From the moment I met you, I knew you were special. You walked into an arena and the crowd would just flock to you like moths to a flame, I should know. Your unique way in the ring, made you one of a kind and that will forever stick in the minds of your fans, including your children. Thank you for picking me to join you on this crazy ride.", she said.
The fans clapped and yelled Ambrose. She sighed.
"Getting to know each of these men in and out of the ring, has been my honor. It was even better when I got to call them family. Together or apart, they dominated that ring. They pulled the fans in and gave them some of the best matches, always outdoing their last. They are the definition of a Brotherhood. Congratulations gentlemen, it is my honor to induct you into the hall of fame", she said.
The music played and everyone stood to clap as the guys walked out. All three hugged Lexi, before Dean pulled her in and kissed her. She moved aside as they each gave their speeches. When it was Dean's turn, he smirked.
"I just wanted to thank my family. My kids for putting up with my work schedule.", he said.
He looked down at them.
"Daddy is coming home for good. I can't wait to spend every waking moment with you", he said.
He turned to look at Lexi.
"And to my partner in crime, my best friend, and most importantly my wife. You've held the house down for so long, taking care of my kids and making sure that my relationship with them was strong even with me on the road. I owe you a hell of a lot of dates and as soon as we leave here, I'm taking you out beautiful", he said.
She smiled at him and he winked. He looked back at the crowd.
"And to the WWE universe, thank you. You've given me so much and more. I walk away today with a family, my brothers, and knowing that all of our hard work and so many nights away from our families, was worth it. You've made it special and I will forever be grateful to you for it. Thank you", Dean said, before stepping back.
Getting backstage, they took pictures together and then a few with Lexi. Hunter walked over to them.
"So, I guess right now is a good time to tell you that next year, Lexi will be inducted. Dean, if you want", Dean stopped him and nodded.
"Hell yeah. Can all three of us do it?", he said.
Hunter nodded.
"I don't see why not. She inducted you, it's only fair you three do the same", he said.
He walked away and Lexi wrapped her arms around Dean.
"So, I seem to have heard you say something about a date tonight", she said.
"Oh yeah? You heard that", Dean said.
She kissed him.
"No kids. Just you and me Doll face", he said.
She nodded. It had been awhile since they got any alone time. With her family here and Aunt Rose, they had more than enough babysitters. They joined the rest of their family and watched the rest of the show. After, the grandparents and Aunt Rose took all the kids back to the hotel and Dean took Lexi out for drinks.
Sitting in a booth, blocking them from everyone's eyes. He kissed her shoulder and up to her neck.
"You smell so good", he whispered.
She giggled. The waitress left their Margherita pizza on the table before quietly walking away.
"Jon, I'm hungry", she said, trying to gently push him away.
He moaned.
"Me too. Give me something", he whispered.
She laughed and faced him. Cupping his face in her hands. Looking into his blue eyes as they twinkled. The moment turned serious for her and she leaned in, kissing him.
She pulled away slowly.
"I love you so much", she whispered.
He smiled and brushed his nose against hers.
"Not as much as I love you my Angel", he replied.
She smiled.
"Spend forever with me?", she asked.
He smiled and chuckled softly.
"That's the plan, so don't divert. Why do you think I keep knocking you up", he said.
She laughed. They pulled away long enough to eat and finish their beers. Ordering two more. To Dean it felt like they were just dating again, he loved these moments with his wife and he was going to make sure he always made time for her.
Getting back to their hotel room, their kids were asleep. Elijah and Veronica were on their bed and Dean sighed.
"What?", Lexi whispered.
"I was hoping for a little loving", he said, sounding disappointed.
Lexi went over to him and kissed his neck before moving up to his ear.
"And you don't plan on giving me any tonight?", she asked.
"I wanted too", he replied.
She took his hand and pulled him towards the bathroom. He smiled when he caught on. Connecting their lips as they undressed and made their way into the shower. He lifted her and pressed her up against the tile wall. The water running down them as they made love.
"Fuck", Dean groaned.
Lexi bit his lip and tugged on it a bit. That made Dean speed up his movement.
"Aren't you glad you got that vasectomy", she said as he let her down.
He swallowed and chuckled.
"Yeah", he said.
They showered and got dressed. Squeezing into their bed with Elijah and Veronica.
