I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S
The Next Day- Fin's Point of View-
I woke up at 6:30 knowing that the kids would be up soon, or they were just getting up as well. I heard rain hitting the roof, and I heard the dogs barking because I knew that Teddy and Willow hate the rain, Matt must of let them out of his room or he left the door open last night for them to run out. I lifted part of the sheet up, I lift Shannon's arm up slightly so I can slide out trying not to wake him, but it isn't as easy as it sounds. Every time a slid out just an inch, Shannon pulled me back.
"Would you stop doing that?" I asked looking back at Shannon who was pretending to be asleep and I knew he wasn't because he was smiling widely.
"Where are you going at 6:30 in the morning?" He asked not opening his eyes.
"How do you know it's 6:30 if you didn't open your eyes?"
"The dogs bark every morning around 6:30." Shannon said as I rolled over to face him.
"I got to get up and find some umbrellas or rain gear for the kids."
"Matt has some, but I don't think you have to do it this early."
"I also got to cook breakfast for them." I said.
"They can do pop tarts, toaster strudels, or toast or something simple."
"You may lazy, but I got to be super mom, especially since we are leaving tomorrow, I feel horrible, I would like to make it up to them." I said as I pecked him on the lips before rolling back around and started to slide out again.
"I guess I can go take a shower by myself." Shannon said rolling around himself to climb out of the bed.
"You do that, what do you want for breakfast?" I asked as I slipped on my slippers that I brought with me.
"It doesn't matter, whatever your cooking yourself." Shannon said looking through his bag of clothes that was now on the bed where he was laying.
"Having troubles?" I asked I walked up behind, wrapped my arms around him, and rested my chin on his shoulder.
"I can't find any clean boxers."
"Then go commando." I said giggling.
"You would like that, won't you?"
"Maybe." I said as I rubbed his stomach that was exposed because he slept without a shirt.
"Yes, I found a clean pair, even though they aren't the best pair."
"Why aren't they your best pair?"
"Their my Scooby-doo pair" Shannon said holding me up to see them.
"Oh, I borrowed those that one time when I stayed in your hotel room?"
"Man!" Shannon said as he threw the boxers back into the bag.
"It's okay Shannon, we are going to your house today to get more clothes and for you to do laundry, just go commando until then." I said as I kissed his shoulder blade and headed towards the door.
"This one time, I better not get pantsed by Matt or anyone." Shannon said, I just giggled as I opened the door and walked out. I walked into the living/dining room area, I went up to the clear sliding door, I leant against it looking out into the dark sky and the rain falling. I rubbed my arms with my hands to try and warm myself up, I felt someone wrap their arms around me with a blanket.
"That better be Shannon, unless if we need to talk." I said not turning around as I heard a deep laugh and by the reflection in the window I can tell it was Shannon.
"Why do you decide to walk around in a spaghetti strap and fleece pants pajamas, especially when it's storming and cold?"
"Why do you insist on not wearing a shirt?" I shot back as I took the blanket and wrapped it around me, he kept it on with his arms.
"Touché."
"I thought you were going to take a shower." I said as I leant my head back onto his chest.
"I will, but came out to see if you needed help cooking breakfast first." Shannon said as he rested his chin on top of my head.
"I got it under control, the kids aren't even up yet."
"At least let's find some umbrellas for them or something." Shannon said as he pulled me around to go with him to find some rain stuff.
"Would it be in the closet?" I asked as I shuffle along with my feet on the blanket, hanging onto the blanket to keep it around me as Shannon went into the garage leaving the door open.
"He barely uses it, so I doubt it would be." Shannon said yelling into the house.
"What's going on down here?" Maddie whispered.
"Looking for some umbrellas or rain coats for the kids." I said.
"You do know it is only 5:45 in the morning." Maddie said shivering.
"5:45? How is that possible?" I asked looking at her confused.
"That is what my clock said." Maddie said.
"Last night was Daylight Savings, we sprung ahead." Shannon said.
"Oh, you might want to wake the kids because they didn't change their clocks." Maddie said.
"I'll wake them at 7, but we need to find some type of rain gear for them." I said as I looked back into the closet and found some umbrellas.
"Find anything?" Shannon asked walking back into the house empty handed.
"Yeah, there is some umbrellas in here." I said.
"I'm going back to bed, whatever." Maddie said as she ran up the stairs.
"At least they got those, we are going to have to clean their shoes when they get home." Shannon said as he walked over to me and wrapped one arm around me.
"I should really go upstairs and wake them." I said as I unwrapped the blanket.
"I'm going to go shower up, please put a sweater on, because I don't want you catching a cold or getting sick." Shannon said as he walked with me into the room, I threw the blanket onto the bed and grabbed his Hardy Show sweater. "You like that sweater don't you?"
"Yeah, and it's comfy. Plus, I'm too lazy to dig through my suitcase to find my own." I said smiling.
"You said I was lazy, jeez." Shannon said as he grabbed his clothes, he came up to me and lifted my face up by my chin with his finger. He kissed me on the lips lightly, and he smiled.
"What was that for?"
"Do I have to have a reason?" Shannon asked as he followed me out of the room, I pull my hands into the sleeves that were too long for my arms. I walked upstairs, I knocked on Beniot and Anita's door, and I cracked the door, only enough for me to peek in.
"Fin?" Anita asked rubbing her eyes.
"Yeah, it's time to get up you two." I said pushing the door rest of the way open to let the hallway light in.
"But, the sun isn't up yet." Anita said.
"It's cloudy, plus it's raining outside." I said as I shook Beniot a little to wake him.
"What a wonderful day? I am going to have to walk in the mud to get to the bus." Anita said as she climbed out of the bed.
"Don't complain, it's mostly grass out there, it won't be that much mud." I said.
"Why are you waking us at 5:30?" Anita asked looking at the alarm clock in her room.
"Daylight savings."
"What's daylight savings?" Beniot asked as he opened his eyes.
"It's this thing that we do, it's a part of the whole solar system, and where we are around the sun. In the spring, we spring an hour ahead, and in the fall, we fall back one hour." I tried to explain.
"I don't get it." Beniot said.
"You will understand it when you get older into more advanced science classes." I said as he sat up and stood up from the bed. Anita and Beniot dug through their bags to find their outfits for the day. "What do you want for breakfast?" I asked before I walked out of the room.
"May I have pop-tarts?" Anita asked.
"Sure, Beniot?"
"Cinnamon toast?" Beniot asked excitedly.
"Yeah sure, do you eat your pop tarts cooked or non-cooked?" I asked.
"Non-cooked." Anita said as she walked out of the room after me to change in the bathroom. I walked downstairs into the kitchen, I grabbed two slices of bread out of the loaf, I stuck them in the toaster and pushed it down for it to start cooking. I opened the cabinet that held the cereal and the pop-tarts, but there was three didn't flavors. I didn't know which one that she wanted, so I waited until she came downstairs. The toaster popped the toast up, I jumped ten feet in the air because it scared me.
"Whoa, did that scare you?" Shannon asked walking around the corner carrying socks and shoes.
"Yeah, I wasn't expecting it to go off, you want anything?" I asked as I pulled the two slices of bread out of the toaster onto a plate, I buttered it then I sprinkled some cinnamon on it.
"I will take some strawberry toaster strudels." Shannon said sitting down at the table to put on his socks and shoes. I opened the freezer pulling them out, I grabbed two and put them in the toaster. I grabbed the plate with Beniot's toast on it, I carried it out to the dining room setting it down on the table.
"We don't have any rain gear." Anita said as she walked downstairs sliding her cell phone into her pocket.
"There is two umbrellas for you next to your backpacks, what flavor pop-tarts do you want?" I asked as I walked back into the kitchen when the toaster popped again. I grabbed a plate and pulled Shannon's toaster strudels on them.
"Strawberry please." Anita said sitting down at the table, I grabbed two cups and opened the refrigerator and pulled out the gallon of milk. I poured milk into the two glasses, and I grabbed a pack of strawberry pop-tarts. I carried the glasses and the pop tarts out into the dining room, and Beniot walked down wearing a CM Punk sweater (the one with the rib cage).
"Why are you wearing Punk's sweater?" Shannon asked as I went back into the kitchen and started spreading icing onto his toaster strudels.
"Because it's warm and it's raining outside so I figured." Beniot said shrugging his shoulders.
"It doesn't matter, just sit down and eat your breakfast kiddo." I said as I carried Shannon's toaster strudels out to him. I went back into the kitchen, I started making a pot of coffee.
"Are you going to join us for breakfast?" Anita asked opening the pop-tarts.
"I'm not that hungry this morning." I said as I leant forward onto the counter, I heard the dogs run downstairs. "I don't really want to let the dogs out in the rain and in the mud, I don't want to get Matt's carpet dirty from them being in the mud." I said as I saw them run up to the door.
"Don't worry about it, I will take care of it." Matt said walking downstairs behind Maddie.
"Sorry that we woke you." Shannon said.
"Don't worry, we are probably going to lay back down after the kids leave." Maddie said as Matt walked up to the door, he opened it for the dogs to run out, he walked over to his closet grabbing a hooded sweater, he threw it on over his tank top before he walked outside with his hood up not to get his hair wet.
"He's going to get sick." I said as I heard the coffee pot ending. "Maddie, do you want some coffee?"
"No thanks, I am probably going to go back upstairs and lay down, the smell of cinnamon is getting to me." Maddie said as she walked back upstairs.
"Do you think that Matt would want some?" I asked Shannon as Beniot dropped his toast back onto his plate.
"Probably; what's wrong little guy?" Shannon asked a sad looking Beniot.
"My cinnamon toast made Maddie sick." Beniot said as I carried out mine and Shannon's coffee cups.
"It isn't your fault, it is just the hormones of being pregnant." I said.
"But she said cinnamon." Beniot said.
"Let me try to explain this, when your pregnant, certain smells and foods, may make them sick to their stomach." Shannon said.
"Why is that?" Beniot asked.
"With the baby in them, it makes smell and taste senses ten times enhanced." I said.
"I still don't understand." Beniot said as he picked his toast back up, Anita rolled her eyes, Matt carried the dogs in individually to take them to the bathtub.
"These dogs are dirty." Matt said.
"That's your own fault, you let them out there." Anita said.
"I wasn't going to let them pee on the floor." Matt said as he made his last trip in with Lucas.
"Is it still pouring out there?" I asked looking outside.
"Yeah, but it should stop soon and may start up later." Matt said as he disappeared upstairs to wash the three dogs.
"Alright, you two, time to get ready for school, Anita get a jacket or sweater on." I said as I stood up and took one last sip of my coffee. Anita ran upstairs and grabbed her sweater, she ran back downstairs, I slipped on some flippers since Shannon and I were only planning to walk them to the end of the driveway. Beniot put his backpack on, I gave him money for lunch and gave Anita money for lunch, we opened the front door and popped open the two umbrellas. Shannon carried one for me and him, Anita carried one for her and Beniot, we walked them up to the end of the driveway.
"Now, have a good day at school, and don't get too wet." Shannon said as he hugged Beniot first and hugged Anita, I hugged Beniot and then Anita. Shannon and I put our hoods on, Shannon handed Beniot our umbrella, and Shannon pulled me in front of him wrapping his arms around me to try and keep each other warm, even though I was so tempted to run inside to get out of the cold and the rain. We stood there until we made sure they both climbed onto the bus, and the bus left, we ran into the house once we saw the bus leave.
"Dude, it's cold out there." I said as I took off the now wet Hardy Show sweater, and he took off his sweater that he borrowed from Matt.
"I can make it warm for you." Shannon said mischievously.
"Not now mister, we got to dry these sweaters and I got to shower." I said as I went back to drink my coffee.
"Do we have to go to my house now, it's 7:30 in the morning." Shannon complained.
"Yeah, but by the time I get out of the shower, it might of stopped raining." I said as I took a sip of my coffee and spit it back out.
"Cold?"
"Luke warm." I said as I carried mine and his coffee into the kitchen and dumped it out.
"I'm going to take a little nap while you shower." Shannon said as he walked towards the bedroom.
"You do that, but you do know that I am going to wake you when I get out." I said as I searched for some clothing.
"Are you going to do laundry with me at my house?" Shannon asked as he jumped onto the bed and wiggled under the blanket.
"Maybe, if I remember to bring it with us." I said as I grabbed my clothes and went to shower up, I brought my laptop in to listen to my iTunes so I can have something to listen to, I took a long hot shower to try and warm up some from the weather. I climbed out of the shower, and I hurried getting dressed so I wouldn't get cold. I turned my iTunes off, I carried my clothes into the bedroom, and went back into the bathroom to grab my laptop. I went out into the living room, I curled up into my sweater that I found when I was in search of my clothes, and I connected to Matt's wireless to check my email, My Space, and WWE Universe. Afterwards, I shut my computer down and carried it back into the bedroom, I set it down on the dresser before I jumped into the bed with Shannon. I lightly kissed him to wake him, and I ran my hand through his hair, his eyes fluttered open.
"Hello beautiful." Shannon said as he smiled.
"Have a sweet dream?" I asked smiling back at him.
"Yes, because you were in it." Shannon said as he nudged my chin a little.
"Well, time for you to get up, we have to go to your house Mr. Moore."
"Yes mother." Shannon said as he sat up and climbed out, I crawled off the bed and went to make it. "Why are you making it, we are just going to mess it up later?" Shannon asked jokingly as he found his keys and he started throwing things back into his bag, and I grabbed my bag to do some laundry with him. Shannon borrowed another sweater of Matt's, and he started rolling his bag out, I followed him out, we both threw our hoods on and dodged for his car.
"I think we should leave them a note so when they wake up they will know where we are." I said.
"I am sure they will know where we are if we're not here, all as fails we can text them later." Shannon said as he unlocked the door on my side and opened my door for me, then he ran around to his side and climbed in.
"Okay, just be careful when your driving, it's still raining, there's mud and we don't want to get in an accident." I said as Shannon started the car.
"Don't worry, I got it okay." Shannon said as he pulled out of the driveway. "I still don't get why we didn't just do laundry at Matt's house." Shannon said as he put his Hummer into drive.
"I don't know, maybe to give us two alone time at your house and to get things settled at your house so when we do decide to settle down."
"When exactly will we be able to do that now?" Shannon asked.
"Maybe around the time that Gregory and Toes marry, or we can take some time off to do so."
"The kids stuff is pretty much packed at Matt's, I mean we can move some of their stuff over here, but I don't want to do that until we both settle down here and ready, plus if they are staying at Gilbert or Beth's place, their going to need that stuff." Shannon said.
"Are you willing to give up wrestling to stay here with Beniot and Anita?" I asked shifting in my seat to look at him.
"I mean, I have my tattoo parlor here, I have money coming in there, the question is, what about you?"
"I don't know if I'm ready to give up this soon, I mean yeah, I'm new to the business and it is easier to give up now that I am new but I want to run with it, I know my tag-team era is coming to an end with Maddie."
"If you want to continue doing it, then we can continue, I mean they are going to be able to go on tour with us during the summer, on weekends, and if we are in a nearby town." Shannon said.
"Are we horrible for having other people taking care of our kids?"
"No, I mean that is our career, we can't change it." Shannon said as he put his one hand on my knee and rubbed it.
"Would you ever consider having our own kids?"
"You mean, me getting you pregnant?"
"What other way can we have kids?" I asked.
"Yeah, someday, but I would like to wait a little bit until we have everything settled here, but if it happens before hand, I will still love it" Shannon said as he pulled into his driveway and now it stopped raining.
"It stopped raining, finally." I said as I looked at the clock that said 8:45.
"I told you that it wouldn't last long." Shannon said as we climbed out of his Hummer, and we pulled out our bags carrying them inside.
"Would your washer be able to hold all of these clothes?"
"Yeah, trust me, my washer is a strong machine." Shannon said confidently as we carried our bags into his living room, I unzipped my bag and started sorting them into 3 piles like I usually do, Shannon walked into his room to get more dirty clothing to throw in, he walked out with the clothes and set them onto the couch. "3 piles, huh?"
"Yeah, you don't do three loads?" I asked as I threw one of my bras into the white's pile.
"No, I usually just do two."
"Well, there is whites, I used to do cold and warm whites, but now I just do them together, and then there is cold darks and warm darks." I said pointing to each pile so he would know which one was the cold darks and the warm darks. Shannon sat down next to his clothes, he grabbed a remote and turned on the sound system to a radio.
"Is this music okay?"
"Yeah, perfect, you listen to this music too?" I asked.
"Who doesn't?" Shannon asked as we sorted through our clothes, we separated the whites and we both carried the whites to his laundry room loading it into his washer. Shannon started it, and I walked back to his living room, I sat on his couch and saw a picture frame on a nearby bookshelf. I stood up, I walked over to it and picked it up. I felt him standing behind me, his arms slithered around my waist, and his head rested on my shoulder.
"Who are these people?" I asked.
"That's my mom, my dad and me when I was a kid before my dad's accident."
"I'm sorry Shannon." I said mad at myself for bringing it up.
"No, it's cool, I have some photo albums, would you like to see them?"
"Most defiantly." I said as he took off upstairs to his room to get the photo albums, I wandered around looking at other photos he had in photo frames, he had one of him and I am assuming his sister (I don't know if he has a sister in real life or not), one of him and his grandparents, and one of him, Matt, Jeff, Gregory and Gilbert. I then saw the very last one, it was a picture frame that said Live, Laugh, and Love on it, inside it had a picture of him and me, the one we took when we met and I love, I think I shed a tear, he must have done this picture frame while he was here and I was on tour, because I think I would of figured it out when I was here. I heard a couple of bangs come from upstairs. "Are you okay?" I yelled up the stairs.
"Yeah, just fine." Shannon yelled down, I then decided to explore the house a little, I then found his computer room, it had a bookshelf filled with books, a basic computer, printer and a fax machine, I then went past the laundry room, into a hallway that was started with his kitchen, it was weird his kitchen wasn't connected to his dining or living room. I walked down the hallway to see more photos hanging on the wall, it was a solo promo photo of him, I am assuming around when he first started with WWE, and the other ones were promo photos of Jeff, Matt, Gregory, or them together in promos. I found two bedrooms that had beds, desks, shelves and things needed for someone to stay in there, and the other room was empty, I am assuming he hasn't found any use for it. I also found a bathroom, it looked as if nobody used it, I mean obviously it has since he has thrown parties there and what not, but there was a clear shower curtain that had skulls on it, a furry cover over the lid of the toilet, toothbrush holders, a soap dispenser, and towels, all color coordinated. "Fin, where are you?" I heard Shannon ask as I heard him run down a couple of steps.
"Oh, I took a little tour of your house." I said as I walked down the hallway to the living room again.
"What do you think?"
"Nice, did you decorate that bathroom and those bedrooms?" I asked.
"I had help with the bedrooms, the third one I don't know what to do with it, I might make it a study or play room if the kids move in here." Shannon said as he set two photo albums on the couch.
"You have a lot of photos." I said sitting down next to him, I took my shoes off before I pulled my feet up onto his couch and snuggled up to his arm while he turned page after page showing photos and pointing out who was who and what was happening in each photo.
