Chapter 26

Another couple of months had past and Stephanie had stayed true to her word. Colby's career had taken a downward spiral. He couldn't recall the last match that he had won, and to make matters worse he hadn't seen or spoken with Dani since they said their goodbyes two months ago. He missed seeing her and speaking with her. He wondered how she was doing and how her pregnancy was progressing.

He sat quietly in the back of the cab thinking about Danielle as he stared out the back window of the taxi. He watched as the familiar sights of downtown Cincinnati passed by in a blur. He wondered if he'd get to see Danielle while he was here. Did she even know he was in town? Does she even watch wrestling?

The taxi pulled up at the hotel and Colby paid the driver before stepping out of the backseat. The driver popped the trunk and Colby pulled out his luggage. He waved a quick thank-you to the driver before walking inside the revolving door and stopping at the front desk. He grabbed the key the lady handed him and began his journey towards the elevator.

Jon had arrived a few hours before him and was now on his way to his aunt Bethany's to see his sister. He owed her an apology for how he acted the last time he saw her. He also wanted to talk to her about Colby. Jon made his way up to his aunt Bethany's front door and rang the doorbell.

Aunt Bethany was in the baby nursery with Danielle hanging up some curtains when the doorbell chimed. "I'll be right back dear." She said and with a small nod from Dani she left the nursery and started walking down the stairs. She looked through the small peep hole and smiled once she recognized her nephew. She unlocked the door and opened it slowly. "Jon." She smiled as she pulled him into a hug. "How have you been?"

Jon returned the hug. "Hi aunt Bethany." He smiled back as they pulled away. "I've been alright. Is Dani here?" He asked. Aunt Bethany nodded as she grabbed her nephew's arm and gently pulled him inside. "I'll go get her." She said as she turned to walk up the stairs.

"Jon?" Danielle questioned from the top of the stairs. "What are you doing here?" She asked as she grabbed the railing and started walking down the stairs.

"I...I uh wanted to see you." He told her as she stepped down from the last stair. Aunt Bethany turned around and walked away towards the kitchen leaving the two siblings alone to speak.

"About?"

"About..the way I acted when you said you were keeping the baby. It isn't my place to question you. You're an adult with a mind of your own, and I'm sorry. I just hope you can forgive me."

Danielle nodded with a small smile and pulled Jon into hug. "Of course. I know you were just looking out for me, and that you had my best interest at heart."

Jon smiled as he hugged her back before slowly pulling away. "Yes, but I could have gone about it in a more loving and understanding way."

"It's fine Jon, really." She smiled. Jon nodded and returned his sister's smile. "What are you doing in Cincinnati anyway?" She asked changing the subject. "You have a show or something?"

"Yeah, we have a show tonight. Would you like to come?" He asked. "I'm sure the guys would love to see you again. Colby especially."

A small smile painted Danielle's lips at the mention of Colby's name. "How is he?"

"He's been okay." Jon shrugged. "But he's been pretty glum since you left. He really misses you Dani." A moment of silence past between them before Jon spoke again. "It's obvious he has feelings for you, but do you have feelings for him?" Jon asked. "Because if you don't Dani please lstop leading him on." The two siblings locked eyes. "So do you?"

"It's complicated."

"How? It's a simple yes or no." Jon stated staring directly into his sister's blue eyes. "Do you like him or not?"

Dani was silent a moment before she slowly nodded. "I do, but I don't want to be a burden on him. That's why I've been keeping my distance since we parted the last time."

"Burden? What the hell are you talking about?" Jon demanded.

"He deserves better than me."

"Dani if you're referring to what happened to you because of that bastard Jason that wasn't your fault." Jon told her pulling her into a loving embrace. "You won't be a burden on him Dani. He's loved you for as long as I can remember."

"Jon, I just don't know."

"Trust me." He said as he gently placed his hands on his sister's arms and pulled her away so he could look her in the eyes. "What has happened and what is soon to happen he said glancing down at his sister's pregnant belly before looking back up into her eyes. "Will not ever change what Colby feels for you." Dani nodded as she blinked away a couple tears. "So do you want to see him tonight?" He asked.

Danielle flashed a small smile and nodded. "Yeah." Jon smiled at his sister's response.

Later that evening...

Jon picked his sister up and drove her to the arena. They walked in through the back doors and headed towards the locker rooms. Jon stopped in front of his room and then pointed down the hall.

"Colby is a few doors down."

"You guys don't share anymore?"

"Nah, the three of us are in singles competition now."

"Oh okay." She responded suddenly feeling nervous. Jon gently nudged her forward.

"It's fine." He told her. "Go see him."

Danielle nodded as she slowly began walking down the hall towards Colby's room. She glanced back and noticed Jon had already disappeared inside the room. She turned around and continued on her way. She approached the door and knocked ever so lightly.

Colby grabbed his "Seth Rollins" shirt out of his bag and was about to slip it on when a soft knock on the door stopped him. He tossed his shirt back down on his bag and walked over to the door. He wondered who it could be. It was too timid and short to be Steph and too soft to be Jon or Joe.

He opened the door and was frozen in place at the sight before him. Danielle smiled as their eyes met. "Dani?"

"Hi." She replied not taking her eyes away from his. "I...I missed you."

He wasn't sure what exactly it was about what she said, but he was overcome by emotion. He reached out and grabbed her hand and pulled her inside his changing room. Releasing her hand his hands slid up the back of her neck and underneath her blonde locks. He moved forward and aggressively captured her lips in between his. He pressed up against her as close as he could without hurting her pregnant belly. She hungrily returned the kiss as she leaned against the door. Her hands slid up his hard muscular arms before lacing her fingers around his neck pulling him closer towards her.

After a passionate and heated reunion kiss they slowly pulled away to catch their breath. Colby gently rested his forehead against Dani's. A content silence past over them as their gaze never faultered. Brown orbs lost in a sea of blue. There was nothing that would ruin this moment.

"I missed you too beautiful." Colby finally whispered. Dani smiled at what had become Colby's pet name for her before tilting her head up slighly to kiss him gently on the lips once again.

A knock on the door startled them and they quickly pulled away. "You got a match in five." A man yelled through the door before walking away and banging on someone else's door.

"I'll be back." Colby said as he kissed Dani's lips once more. Danielle nodded as she let her hands drop allowing Colby to pull away. He smiled at her again before grabbing his shirt and slipping it on. Dani slid away from the door and let Colby pass. She watched as he quickly walked up the hall.
