Chapter Twenty-Nine

Mike wasn't feeling well as the weeks went by. Thanksgiving was a few days away and he needed to get his butt in gear. The turkey was thawing and he still had to get more ingredients for the dinner. He planned to have some friends over at the ranch and hoped that Steve would be there, but Steve was filming for a movie. Mike could always hope.

He went to the grocery store and shopped around for a bit. He got his items that he needed and went home. He put everything away and just took care of his and Steve's baby, Hershey. Mike loved that dog more than anything else. The only thing that Mike wanted now was a baby. He knew that it would happen one day and hoped that he would make a great father.

The day before Thanksgiving, Mike went about cooking the meal that he would serve for tomorrow. He baked the ham, he made several pies and cakes, and did several side dishes. Mike didn't want to have much to do on Thanksgiving Day.

There was a knock at the door and Hershey went to it, barking along the way. Mike smiled as he followed behind.

"Hi, Alex!" Mike greeted as he hugged the younger man. "How are you, John?"

The older man nodded as he walked in with the bags.

"Take them to the guest room on the right."

John walked away.

"Who else is coming?"

"Punk will be here later tonight."

Alex tilted his head.

"I felt like he should be with family on this day so I invited him if he had nothing to do. He's taking the smaller guest room next to the master bedroom. Hunter and Kofi will be here as well. They're taking the room across from you guys."

"Cool," Alex said.

"Let's go to the living room." Mike locked the door and headed toward the area. He sat down on the couch.

Alex sat beside him. "How's Morrison and Ron doing?"

"Fine," Mike said with a smile. "It's cute watching Morrison playing wife. I think they will do just fine."

The younger blond nodded.

"Cody, Mark, Randy, and Glenn are having Thanksgiving together. Show and Evan are engaged."

"I heard. Evan blew up Twitter and my phone."

"He's so happy."

"He deserves someone."

Both men nodded. Cena came back and plopped right down beside Alex. He turned and kissed his check.

"Tired?" Alex asked.

John nodded, "But I'll be fine. How about yourself?"

"I'm well." Alex looked to Mike. "Everything smells so good."

"Thank you. I decided to cook most of the stuff today. I'm not feeling too good, but I'll make it."

"What's wrong?" the younger man asked.

"Just tired." Mike shifted to get comfortable. "We'll be frying the turkey tomorrow."

"Yum, fried turkey," John said.

"Speaking of food," the younger man said, "do you have any pickles?"

"Nauseated?" Cena asked.

Alex nodded.

"I got some," Mike said. He went to the kitchen with Hershey following behind. Mike got a bowl out and filled it. He smiled and decided to make a veggie plate. He brought a tray filled with two kinds of pickles, cucumber slices, carrots, cheese, and dips. He had another tray with meat and cheese for Cena.

"Yum," Alex said.

He and Mike ate their fill before everyone decided to watch a movie. Mike went and answered the door when he heard a knock. He led Punk to his room and Hunter and Kofi to theirs. They ate dinner before going to bed.

Mike hugged Steve's pillow while he slept. He dreamt of their wedding and little babies filling their house. He dreamt of Hershey being a good big sister and protecting her family. Soon, Mike woke up with a smile on his face. He took a quick shower and brushed his teeth. He shaved and styled his hair before going to make breakfast of bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, cheese grits, and biscuits. Kofi was up as well and helped him cook.

"Man, that smells good," Punk said as he walked in.

Kofi smiled. "Mike is surprisingly a good cook."

"Thank you," the Awesome One said.

The others piled in, ate, and chatted before Mike and Kofi cleaned up the kitchen. Mike put the oil for the fried turkey on before he placed the green beans and collard greens to warm up. Kofi made the dressing and giblet gravy. He also put together a cucumber and tomato salad that he placed in the fridge. Mike made some mac and cheese and placed it in the second oven. Mike loved his kitchen at the ranch because of his dual ovens. He could do a lot with them.

Alex came in and helped with cutting the two pies (coconut cream and sweet potato) and the Caramel Cake. Mike even made a Banana Pudding that Alex stared at with a smile.

"You want a piece, don't you?" Kofi asked.

The younger blond nodded.

"Take one," Mike said.

"You sure?" Alex asked.

Mike nodded and Alex spooned himself a bowl. He slowly ate, savoring each bite.

"Is it that good?" John asked as he came into the kitchen.

His boyfriend nodded as he finished it off. "It was really good."

Punk came in and sat down.

Mike laughed. "John, could you go check the oil for me?"

Cena went outside and checked it. "It's nice and ready."

"I'll get the turkey," Punk said as he took the turkey from Mike.

"Be careful," the blond said.

"I've fried a few turkeys in my time," Punk said. He went out the back and stood by the turkey fryer. He lowered the bird in and smiled as the smell of cooking meat hit his nose.

After an hour, the bird was done and the table was set. Everyone sat around and said a blessing before digging in.

"Thanks for inviting me," Punk said.

"No problem," Mike replied. "I hope you like everything."

"This mac and cheese is damn good," Hunter said. "I like this dressing."

"I made it," Kofi said.

Hunter smiled and winked at him.

The front door opened and closed.

"Who the hell?" Mike asked.

Dwayne stepped in with a smile on his face. "Happy Thanksgiving, everyone."

"Happy Thanksgiving," Mike said. "What are you doing here?"

"Bringing you a gift." He stepped aside and Steve smiled at him.

Mike's face lit up. He stood from his chair and made his way to his husband.

"Happy Thanksgiving," Steve said as he hugged the younger man.

"Thanks, Dwayne," Mike said.

"Welcome," the Brahma Bill said.

"Come and eat," the younger man said.

They made room for the newcomers. Dwayne sat across from Punk and smiled at him. The Straightedge Superstar gave a crooked smile. Everyone ate and enjoyed their meals and desserts before going to the living room to watch the game. Mike, Kofi, and Punk cleaned up and wrapped the leftovers before going to the living room. The two men sat with their mates leaving Punk to sit next to Dwayne. The older man smiled and threw his arm around the smaller man's shoulders.

Everyone watched the game and cheered for their favorite teams. They didn't notice when Punk and Dwayne left. They lay in Punk's bed.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Punk asked.

"Just want to talk," Dwayne replied as he held his hand. "We didn't get to talk last time we met."

"There was and still is nothing to talk about."

"Really?"

Punk smiled.

"If I remember correctly, we were talking about your quest for the WWE title and then you got pulled away by Kofi."

"He is my road wife."

"Looks like he's Hunter's road wife now."

Phil chuckled.

"Why didn't you answer my texts?"

"You're seriously asking me that question?"

Dwayne nodded.

Punk tried to pull his hand away, but the Rock held fast.

"Talk to me."

"When Cena broke my heart, I gave up dating men. Women were okay."

"But you like men," Dwayne finished.

Punk nodded. "I just don't want my heart to be broken. Even though it was a mutual split, I fell in love with him."

The Rock placed a finger under Punk's chin and turned the younger man to face him. "I'm not John and I want you. I find you funny and smart and handsome. Very handsome."

"Despite my tattoos and piercings?"

"I love your tattoos and piercings."

Punk just chuckled.

"I want to kiss you."

They leaned forward and their lips met for the first time. Dwayne pulled the younger man closer to feel the warmth it gave off. They shifted so Dwayne was on his back and Punk was on him.

"Where's Dwayne and Punk?" Kofi asked.

"Who knows?" Hunter said. "Probably off somewhere arguing whose the greatest."

Mike laughed. "I can see that."

Hunter kissed Kofi. "Ready for bed?"

The younger man nodded and they left.

Soon, the other two couples went to bed as well.

Hunter lay in bed as he watched Kofi as he undressed.

"What?" Kofi asked.

"Just watching you."

"Why?"

"I find you sexy."

Kofi shook his head and turned to him, naked. "You find me sexy?"

"I do." Hunter pointed to his cock.

"I think that you're in a perpetual state of hardness." Kofi climbed onto the bed and crawled up to the cock. He kissed it.

Hunter smiled and urged him on.

Alex lay in bed as Cena rubbed his stomach.

"Did you have a great day?" John asked.

The younger man nodded. "The baby's full."

"I'm glad. Ready to be off on our next adventure tomorrow?"

"Always."

John kissed his boyfriend.

Steve stared at Mike. "Baby, you okay?"

Mike nodded. "I'm all right."

"You sure?"

"I feel a little tired, but that's it."

"Do you want me to take you to the doctor's office tomorrow?"

"Steve!"

The bald man stared at him.

"I'm okay."

Steve nodded.

They settled down to go to bed. Steve watched his husband as he slept, worry placed on his mind.
