Over the next few days Bren spent time with her family reconnecting. She took her younger sister shopping and she found out that she had her first crush on a boy, and that boy just so happened to be one Mr. Dean Ambrose. So Bren promised that she'd bring her to the show so that she could meet her crush and Kendra was absolutely elated. Bren was also on the path of getting things patched up with her mother. Her father was no longer ignoring her so that was a plus, too.
The day of the Hartford show Dean called Brenda almost nonstop. He knew she went home and was around family, but that didn't change the fact that he didn't know if she was physically okay during her stay there. It was only seven a.m and he'd called her about twenty times, he knew once she did answer she would probably be pissed, but he wasn't worried. "C'mon Bren, answer the damn phone." He mumbled while it seemed to ring endlessly.
"Brenda's phone this is Kendra." He was momentarily confused by the young voice on the other end until he remembered that she had a younger sister.
"Uhh, yeah you're her little sister right? Can you tell her that I need to talk to her? It's really important." He paced impatiently until her heard Bren's muffled voice and what sounded like Kendra giggling.
"Um, who is this?" Kendra asked while still giggling.
"It's her friend Dean." He heard her gasp and raised an eyebrow as he heard the two talking back and forth before she decided to respond.
"She said why are you waking her up and getting on her nerves when she hasn't even seen you yet. I gotta go bye, Dean!" Before he could get a word out Bren was on the phone almost hysterically laughing.
"Hello, pain in the ass. Care to tell me why you've blown up my phone so early in the damn morning?" Bren said after she controlled her laughter as she readjusted her position to get comfortable.
"Well maybe if your ass would've answered the phone you'd know what was going on. Now since you're up I need you to pick me up from the airport in about three hours. Oh, and I completely forgot you had a little sister so when she answered the phone for some reason the first thought I had was, how the hell did she have the baby already and why is it talking. See this is why I need you to come get me, because my brain doesn't work without at least one cup of coffee in me. I'd like to see you with a big ass cup of coffee because I'm dying and I didn't have time to get one."
"I know you did not blow up my phone to tell me to pick you up from the airport and buy you coffee. I'm not your assistant asshole. You're lucky I love your lazy ass, and you owe me for this and I plan on collecting tonight." She smirked at the phone knowing exactly what she was going to have him do.
"Yeah, yeah I wonder what kind of crazy shit you're gonna have me get into now. Anyway, how did the whole telling your parents go? Were they pissed?"
"They actually took it a lot better than I expected them to. I was expecting them to yell at me, cuss me out or something, but all I got out of it was my mom being a hundred percent in my corner and my dad saying he was kinda disappointed in me. So that was at least tolerable. But my brothers were not ok with it at all. They'd already suspected that the dad was a wrestler before I even said anything. One of my brothers were already threatening to kick Roman's ass when I told them about the whole situation. But they eventually calmed down at the thought of being uncles so I guess that's a good thing. I'm bringing them and my little sister to the show tonight so hopefully they don't decide to be assholes."
"Oh shit, I'm actually going to meet the Perry brothers? Should I be scared for my life? They're not gonna try and beat my ass just because I'm near their precious little sister are they?" Bren could practically hear him smirking. He knew how overprotective they were over their little sister. As much as he thought he was her protector he had nothing on those Perry brothers. If they had it their way she'd never be around any man period!
"Oh ha ha. You have nothing to worry about because you're my brother too, and if they have a problem with that that's too damn bad. I'm a little worried about how they're gonna react to Seth though. I mean if they don't say anything about his hair they'll definitely get on him for the skinny jeans. But I'm gonna let you go so I can get up and get ready to pick your ass up. I'll think about bringing you coffee. Bye, pain in the ass." She hung up before he could say anything else.
After taking her time getting ready to pick up Dean she couldn't help but wonder how the night was going to go. Her brothers would be in the same area as the two men that were currently confusing her life. She let her mind wonder until she had less than an hour until Dean's plane would arrive so she decided to go get his coffee only because she was craving something sweet.
Once she arrived at the airport she had a little over a half hour to wait for his flight to touchdown. Before she knew it she felt someone put their hands over her eyes. "Guess who?" Brenda yelped as she got up as quick as she could to hug her other brother.
"Seth! I feel like I haven't seen you in years. And don't give me that you just saw me a few weeks ago shit, because I won't hesitate to slap you. Why'd you have to leave Tampa before I had the baby? On second thought why the hell didn't you or Leigh tell me you were moving back to Iowa? How is my baby supposed to cope without Uncle Seff and Auntie Leigh?" She asked as she pouted and crossed her arms across her chest.
"Have I told you lately how adorable you are when you ramble and pout? I missed you too my favorite little pregnant person. As for not letting you know about the move we didn't let anyone know except our families. As far as my future godson/god-daughter goes Uncle Seth won't miss too much. I really hope that they don't call me Seff like you do. I still don't understand how you can pronounce "th" as f. It's kinda hilarious." He laughed when she swatted at him. "And anything that I do miss you better have that shit recorded so that I don't. But Leigh and I will visit as much as we can because we don't plan on being deadbeat godparents. Speaking of my godchild how have you guys been? Dean was telling me how you just up and left because of Roman. What happened there?" Bren rolled her eyes as she went over the things Roman said to her and how she was still trying to get her feelings under control and decide what she thought was best for both her and the baby. About forty minutes after Seth's flight landed Dean was walking toward them wearing a smug grin.
"Like my surprise Doll face? I see you even brought my coffee. I must be on a roll today!" Bren flipped him off as all three of them walked to baggage claim to retrieve Dean's things and they drove toward Brenda's childhood home.
"Bren, are you sure your brothers won't flip their shit that we're within breathing distance? Because we have a match tonight and the last thing I need is to have my ass beat before I'm paid to do the same thing." Seth asked Bren somewhat nervously as the pulled into the driveway.
"Seth I swear they won't touch you, but I know they'll be in interrogation mode to see if y'all are trying anything. It's the most annoying shit ever to be honest. My gay best friend from high school had to deal with it and he made it out just fine. I got your back, Ninja! C'mon my mom probably cooked a bunch of food as a thank you for you guys taking care of me and her grand baby.
Bren walked into the house with Seth closely on her tail while Dean could barely contain his laughter. "Fuck you, Ambrose! You know all the crazy shit she told us about them. I'd like to make it back home in one piece!" Seth said getting fed up with Dean. Before Dean had the chance to respond their attention was turned toward the young girl that walked into the room.
Poor Kendra didn't know what to do. She was frozen in place. In her living room next to her older sister was the love of her life, Dean Ambrose. But not only that they had Seth Rollins with them! She looked at them wide eyed with a slack jaw before she turned her attention to her older sister.
"Bren why is Dean in our house? I'm ok with Seth being here, but you brought Dean in the house! Why do you hate me?" The ten year old ranted. Bren was holding her stomach from laughing so hard. Between Kendra's rant and Dean's somewhat offended expression she couldn't handle it.
"Dean, I would like you to meet your biggest fan this is my little sis Kendra. Ken they're both here because I had to pick them up from the airport. And we're all riding to the show together." She watched the young girls eyes widen then shoot a shy glance at Dean before walking up to him.
"Hi I'm Kendra and we're gonna get married when I turn eighteen. Oh my gosh! I didn't just say that out loud did I?" She looked mortified. But Dean wasn't going to let that embarrass her.
"Oh we are? Ok, that's cool just let me know when you hit eighteen ok babe? I'll be waiting." He then did something that made the poor child melt. He winked and kissed her cheek. The smile on her face was like none other. She then squealed and ran upstairs to her bedroom.
"You are the fucking best! That was the cutest thing I've seen, and I'm pretty sure you made her life when you kissed her cheek. Anyway are y'all hungry?" Brenda asked them while walking into the kitchen. She didn't expect to see the rest of her family there seemingly waiting for her arrival with the men that had been taking care of her. Before she could make any introductions her mother ran at the two slightly startled men and pulled them into a huge embrace.
"I don't know which one is who, but I know you both have had a huge impact on my daughter's life and you both look after her. I don't know what I could say or do to thank you enough. Sit down relax a little and I'll make you both a plate. I'm not really sure on what you guys like to eat so I made a little of everything." Bren's mom went towards the stove and began piling on the food before long both men had what seemed to be mountains of food on their plates.
A few hours later the group of Bren, Dean, Seth, Kendra and both her brothers were making their way to the show. "Ya know man, I was kinda scared to meet you guys after the stories that Bren told us about you two. But you both are cool as hell and I didn't once think you'd beat my ass." Seth chuckled as they made their way into the arena.
"That's because our little Bren likes to overreact to the things we do to protect her. Just because we beat a couple of asses doesn't' mean we're horrible." Her oldest brother smirked at him.
"Pfft yeah ok. If I even looked at a guy I might as well have been on his dick to y'all. You've beat more than a couple of asses when it's come to me, and I feel kinda bad for Kendra now." She said as she smirked back to their young sister who had her arms wrapped around Dean's staring at him as if he were a God.
"Nah she probably won't get it as bad as you did. You were too hot in the ass, like Ma would say. You were chasing boys before kindergarten!" Her brother Maurice said.
"Oh whatever! Anyway before we get any further I gotta give you your tickets and stuff, but before I do I want you to promise me that neither of you will start shit tonight if you see either Jey or Roman, especially Roman just please ignore them and walk away. I don't need either of you causing drama on my first night back. Please promise me you won't."
"Yeah, yeah, but I want to meet that Naomi chick though. She got a fat ass!" Raymond, her other brother, said while making a silhouette of her best friends butt.
"Ok first, eww that's my best friend, and second she's married and off limits. So you can see her but that's about all you can do." She watched her oldest brother pout like a child and couldn't stop her laughter. She then handed them their tickets and backstage passes for after the show. It took about five minutes to get them to detach Kendra from Dean's arm then they were on their way.
"Well that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I mean hell, Dean even got a wife out of the deal! Your brothers are actually cool, Bren." Bren just laughed at the wife comment towards Dean.
"I should've known y'all would get along because you're all pains in my ass, but I'll see you guys later gotta go see what's on my agenda for the night."
"Don't be on your feet all night dollface, and don't forget to eat." Bren stopped in the middle of the hallway and turned to look at him with her hands on her hips. He held his hands up in defence. "I'm just making sure you don't forget! Seth, tell her she listens to you more than me." He said as he slapped Seth on the shoulder.
He rolled his eyes before turning towards her. "Bren take care of yourself alright." She smiled sweetly at him and nodded and stuck her tongue out childishly when Dean's jaw dropped at her compliance.
After checking in with her supervisor she learned that since she was pregnant that from now until her maternity leave they'd only have her shooting a few pictures for WWE's Instagram account. Her job was done quicker than she would've liked, and now she was trying to find something backstage to do.
Before she found something to keep her busy she bumped into Jimmy who seemed to be surprised that she was even there. "Bren, the hell you doing here? I thought you were out on bed rest or something? Damn girl, you got bigger or is it just me?" She scowled at him and slapped his arm.
"Shut up! I know I'm huge this baby is killing my damn back, so trust me I know how big I am. As far as the bedrest thing it was only for a few weeks to make sure I was doing alright. I'm back full time until it's time for my maternity leave. Where's my girl? I've missed her."
"She's in her locker room, but your not so favorite person is in there with her though so be warned. No beating asses while pregnant, whether that baby is my niece, nephew, or my cousin that's still my family in there." He pulled her into a side hug and continued on his way. Bren was slightly taken back by Jimmy he was acting like he used to when they were close, but she figured he was just finally coming around. She walked into the locker room to see Naomi and Cameron in a shouting match. It was clear by the look on Naomi's face that it was taking a lot of willpower for her to not slap the taste out of her Cameron's mouth. Bren looked at Cameron and she huffed and walked out of the locker room, but not before obnoxiously flipping her hair.
"Bren! When did you get here, baby momma?" She rolled her eyes at the new nickname.
"Really? Baby momma? Don't you think I got enough nicknames by now? I got here earlier with Dean, Seth and some of my family. One of my brothers really wants to meet you after the show by the way, and I'd suggest bringing Jimmy because it'd be hilarious to see him get shut down." Naomi just shook her head. The two talked for a while until it was time for Naomi's match then Bren decided to venture towards catering. It wasn't as empty as she thought it'd be on a busy Monday night though.
She grabbed a light snack and sat in a somewhat secluded section so that she wouldn't be bothered. That clearly didn't matter to some people.
"So is this how it's gonna be every time you realize your feelings for me? You're just going to run away? You do get that once this paternity test comes back saying that the baby is mine that I'm not gonna have you just up and running with my kid, right?" Roman smirked at her as he twirled a strand of her hair around his finger. Brenda quickly slapped his hand away with a frown.
"I'm not running away from anything, but you do manage to get on my damn nerves a whole lot more lately. Ever stop to think maybe that was the reason I left? You love to throw the 'my kid' shit around a lot for someone who doesn't even know if they are the father yet. I left to clear my head, and I won't lie that did have something to do with you because you were always in my damn face every time I turned around. Why can't you just let me fuckin' breathe? You're smothering me and that damn sure won't get me to be with you." Bren felt a little triumphant when his cocky smirk left his face. It didn't last though.
"Fine I'll back down a little, but only because I don't want anything to happen to my babies. I could've used your help when you left though. I got word that they picked up Lina, and she actually stabbed an officer while they were trying to put her in custody. So now with the charges you have against her and those I don't know what the hell is going to happen with her. Soph somehow found out and didn't want anybody but you, and you weren't there. So what I'm asking is can you call and talk to her for me? I know you don't owe either one of us shit, but I'd really appreciate it. She loves you, Bren." The look he shot her almost made her want to cry, but she was blaming that solely on her pregnancy hormones.
"I'll do it, but later because I have my brothers and sister to take care of after the show. You better keep your word about chilling out with all your aggressive shit too, if not for my own damn emotions then for the baby." He nodded his head in agreement and pulled her out of the chair into a hug, and before she could protest he pulled her into a gentle kiss in the middle of catering. When he pulled away he ducked down and laid a kiss on her protruding stomach before walking away.
Brenda just stood there for a minute not believing he'd done that, in catering no less! When she turned around she noticed every eye on her in the room, but she wasn't phased by them. The only thing she was focused on was the scowl on Jey's face as he walked out of the room.
I had NO idea that it's been over a month since I updated! My bad? Life has kicked my ass lately. I'm trying to get back on track with this. Next chapter I think I'm going to do a fast forward towards the end of Bren's pregnancy because I can't write out an entire pregnancy without getting bored. Also, this story wasn't originally supposed to go over 20 chapters, but clearly that ain't gonna work now, haha. But the father will be revealed in the next chapter! Who do you think it is? Review, please?
