Chapter 14: Road Trip
Colby and Neysa had decided that it would be ok to take Aubrey to their favorite pizza place in Davenport. They walk in and go over to a booth and Colby places the carrier next to him and Neysa sat across from him and placed the diaper bag next to her. Colby looked over and made sure that Aubrey had her pacifier and was covered up with her blanket. They were looking at the menu when his phone started ringing he looked down and saw that it was Paul.
"Hi Paul" he answered as he looked over at Neysa.
"How are you, Neysa and the baby?" Paul asked as he looked over at Stephanie who was sitting on the couch in his office working on her laptop.
"We are doing well, we are on our first family outing to our favorite pizza place" Colby replied as he looked at Neysa shaking his head.
"That's great, the reason why I have called you is that Dr. Wilke is going to be at the Performance Center this week checking on everyone's progress and I need you to be there. You and Neysa can stay for the NXT PPV and sort of make a vacation out of it. You can stay at our Condo; Steph is going crazy dying to see Aubrey". Paul said as Steph shook her head yes.
"Let me talk to Neysa and I will call you back I don't see a problem" Colby said as he saw the look on Neysa's face.
"Ok, we are looking forward to seeing you and the family" Paul said as he leaned back in his office chair.
"What shouldn't' be a problem?" Neysa asked as she took a drink of her water.
"Paul and Steph want us to go to the performance center because Dr. Wilke is going to be there checking on mine, John's and Cesaro's progress this week. They said we could stay at their condo because Steph wanted to see you and Aubrey" Colby said as he looked at Neysa.
"They think we can just leave at the drop of a hat with a preemie infant?" Neysa asked irritated
"Babe, I think it would be good for us to go down to see some of our friends and let them meet Aubrey and Paul said we could stay for NXT" Colby said as he took her hand in his and rubbed her fingers with his thumb.
"What are we going to do with Aubrey while we are at NXT?" Neysa asked as she looked over at her daughter who was peacefully sleeping
"Let Steph babysit, come on babe I think we need some alone time" Colby replied
"Let me make my doctor's appt so we can get the green light" Neysa said with a smile.
They were on a private jet on their way to Florida the next day, "Wanna join the mile high club?" Colby asked as he winked at Neysa.
"Who says that I'm not already a member?" Neysa replied with a huge smile as she was sitting next to Colby with her hand on his thigh as she rubbed it in soft slow circles.
"I can't wait to get you to the condo and show you how much I love you" Colby whispered into her ear.
Neysa turned around and placed small but tender kisses on his neck and whispered "I am going to show you how much I have missed you over and over again". Just as they were both getting very turned on they heard a loud piercing cry and they looked over to see Aubrey's face blood red.
"Baby girl, you're going to have to work on your timing" Seth said with a frustrated look on his face. Neysa composed herself and let out a sigh of disappointment.
"Babe, I think something is wrong this is I'm hurting cry" Colby said as he took Aubrey out of the car seat looked her over to see if he could see anything was wrong with her. Neysa took the pacifier that had fallen out and tried to put it back in Aubrey's mouth but she wouldn't take it and she was still screaming at the top of her lungs. The seat beat belt sign went off and Colby got up and started to rock Aubrey side to side to see if that would help but nothing seemed to work until Neysa's ear popped and she realized that Aubrey's ears must be hurting due to the altitude.
"Colby, I think it's her ears" Neysa said as she grabbed a bottle out of the cooler and thought if Aubrey sucked on it then it would help elevate the pain. She took Aubrey from Colby and sat down with her and started to suck on the bottle and the cries turned into whimpers.
"Nice job babe" Colby said as he rubbed Aubrey's head and leaned over and kissed Neysa on the temple.
Colby walked into the performance center pushing Aubrey in a stroller with his workout bag on his shoulder and Neysa following him with a smile. They were greeted with hugs from all of the trainers/coaches and looked down at Aubrey in the stroller as Paul and Stephanie walked out of the office to see all of the commotion.
"Everyone step away from the baby, I get to hold her first" Stephanie practically ran over to where they were standing.
"The pictures don't due her justice, she is beautiful" Stephanie said as she looked down at Aubrey who was sucking on her passy. Aubrey had on pink jeggings and a pink long sleeved shirt with gold sparkly Minnie Mouse ears all over it and a picture of Minnie's face in the middle.
"Go ahead Aunt Steph I know you're dying to get your hands on her" Neysa said as she leaned up against Colby's back and put her arms around his waist. Colby put his hands over hers and saw that Paul was talking to Dr. Wilke and he knew that he had to break away and go and get changed into his workout clothes.
"Wish me luck" he said as he turned his head around and kissed Neysa softly.
"Go on Champ show them how hard you have been working" Neysa said as she winked and slapped him on the ass.
"She looks just like Colby" Stephanie said as she rocked Aubrey in her arms. "You know that looking like their daddy's must run in your family look at my youngest two" Stephanie laughed.
"She is his mini me" Neysa replied as she smiled at Aubrey who wasn't too sure of what was going on around her there were a lot of loud noises.
"Let's take her back into Paul's office where it's not so loud" Stephanie replied as she started to walk towards the back and Neysa pushed the stroller behind her.
"How are things going Mommy" Stephanie asked as she sat down on the couch with Aubrey.
"Ok, we are getting into a routine" Neysa replied as she parked the stroller in the corner.
"How are you and Colby coping?" Stephanie asked as she started to bounce Aubrey on her knees.
"We're hanging in there, Sleep is overrated" Neysa replied with a slight smile
"Neysa, you're talking to me I have been through this 3 times although not with a preemie" Stephanie said with a chuckle.
"Aunt Steph it has been rough, with him rehabbing, and her being in the hospital and my mom being so far away" Neysa said as she put a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I can only imagine it has been, that's' why Paul and I want to give you a night out tonight" Stephanie replied with a smile.
"I don't know we haven't left her with anybody yet" Neysa said as she looked down at her baby girl.
"Come on Neysa, you and Colby deserve a night out and I promise you that Paul and I can take care of this baby" Stephanie replied with a smile.
"Let me talk it over with Colby and see if its ok with him" Neysa replied with a smile.
