A few days later Cody was going out to lunch with Ted so that he could ask him to be the best man in his wedding as well as asking him if his son could be in the wedding as well. He felt like a slacker because Chelsea had her entire bridal party picked out as well as their dresses while he didn't know who was going to be whom or what in the wedding. "Hey, Man," said Ted as he greeted Cody outside the restaurant.
"Hey," said Cody as he gave him a bro hug. "Long time no see."
"I know. How are you?" he asked.
"Good. How about you," he asked him as they walked into the restaurant.
"Pretty good. Are you enjoying your time off?"
"I am loving it," he said. "This extra time with Lily and Chelsea has been great. We managed to go to New York to check out where our house is being built and we're working on wedding plans. Well, Chelsea is telling me rather."
"I know how that is. When Kris and I got married she was in charge of it all," said Ted. "I think women should handle those things. It is their dream wedding. I could care less what flower arrangements we have or what colors we have. Let them do that. Chelsea was probably planning her wedding her whole life," he said as they were seated at a booth.
"I'm sure she was. She is going to be a bridezilla. I just hope that nothing happens till we're married," he said.
"What does that mean?" he asked as they were interrupted by their waiter.
"Can I get you two anything to drink?" he asked.
"We will each have a beer," said Cody.
"All right," he said before walking away.
"Well, Chelsea has this big idea she wants to have a baby," said Cody.
"Now?"
"Well soon," said Cody. "She got rid of her birth control pills and now it's just a whatever happens happens thing."
"So you're not using condoms or anything?"
"Nope no condoms at all," said Cody. "I told her I was fine with it."
"Are you?" asked Ted.
"I am. I don't mind it but I don't want her to get pregnant then regret it you know what I mean?"
"Yeah, I know," said Ted. "I thought Chelsea wanted to wait a while?"
"So did I but I blame my nieces for being so cute. I don't know. I'm not against this but I don't want to upset Dave."
"Getting his daughter pregnant will not go over good if it happens before you're married."
"I know. I got beat up for proposing to her. I don't want to know what will happen if I get her pregnant. Plus she said she missed her pill a couple times. She's been stressed out," he said as the waiter brought them their beer and took their orders.
"So she missed her pill?"
"That's what she said," said Cody.
"And you had sex around that time?"
"Ted, we always have sex," said Cody, "her sex drive is crazy."
"She's young, she's what 21?"
"22 will be 23 in June," said Cody.
"Okay," said Ted. "I wish you the best of luck with that."
"Thanks," he said, "Don't think I'm not happy about her want to be a mom because I know she is going to be a great mom and I wouldn't mind having a son or another little girl. It's just facing Dave I'm afraid of."
"I hear you," he said. "Kris is pregnant."
"Really?"
"Yes," said Ted with a proud smile. "She is 16 weeks along. The doctor is 95% sure the baby is a girl."
"Congratulations," said Cody knowing that Kris and Ted had been trying for a girl for the last 5 years.
"Thank-you, after 5 boys we are ready for a little girl. We were not going to give up till we got one," said Ted.
"I know," said Cody with a laugh. "Speaking of boys Chelsea and I were wondering if Connor could be the ring bearer in the wedding."
"I don't see why he couldn't be. If that's what you want. I have to talk to Kris about it but I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem."
"Thanks," said Cody, "and of course you're going to be my best man."
"Awesome," said Ted. "I'm there."
"Thanks," he said. "You're my best friend we've been through it all together. You're like my brother."
"Thanks, Cody," said Ted with tears in his eyes. Ted and Cody were close. They started their careers around the same time and worked together plenty of times over the last few years. They were traveling partners and Ted was there when Lily's mom went crazy. They had been through it all together. Ted was honored that Cody had asked him to be his best man.
"You're welcome," said Cody.
"So is it true?" asked Ted out of the blue after the waiter brought over their food.
"Is what true?" asked Cody as he put ketchup on his fries.
"That you're retiring after Summerslam?" asked Ted.
"Yes it's true," said Cody. "I'm getting married in September and my soon to be wife wants a baby. I want to be there and want to enjoy my life as a husband and a father. I have done everything I possibly can with the company."
"I guess," said Ted. "You have to do what you have to do."
"Yeah," said Cody. "I want to be with my family."
"I hear ya. I think I am about finished too. I hardly see the boys enough and I'm getting too old for this. I have no idea how Undertaker went so long doing this."
"The man is invincible," said Cody with a laugh. "I am not."
"Me either," said Ted. "But just think you'll have all the time in the world to be a newlywed."
"I know…our sex life is amazing now I can't wait to see what it's like AFTER we get married. I love that woman."
"I would hope so you did choose to marry her. Although I still think it is so weird because you have known her since she was born. You were 24 or 25 when she was born. Weird."
"Well, she grew up," said Cody. "Into one of the hottest women I know."
"I will give it to you and do not tell Kris I said this but Chelsea is pretty hot. The fact she is Batista's daughter scares me. He's going to be your father-in-law; are you ready for that?"
"I wouldn't care if Satan himself was her father… I would love her no less and would accept him as my father in law as long as I could call Chelsea my wife."
"Aww," said Ted. "So where are you taking her on your honeymoon?"
"Hawaii. She really wants to go to Hawaii. I thought about Italy but I don't know how she feels about Italy. She used to have family there but not anymore."
"Hawaii is so cliché," said Ted.
"How is Hawaii a cliché?" asked Cody. He didn't understand how Hawaii was considered a cliché.
"Because it seems like everyone that gets married goes to Hawaii for their honeymoon. You should go with Italy. You have money. You can take her wherever you want. You could take her to Europe ANYWHERE! You could make it a three week honeymoon and spend time in France, Italy, Spain Greece… wherever Cody. Think out of the box."
"But she made it clear she wants to go to Hawaii," said Cody.
"So take her to Hawaii as a pre-wedding vacation to eliminate the stress of planning the wedding and then surprise her with something big for your honeymoon. Trust me, Cody Hawaii is a honeymoon cliché."
"Okay," said Cody. "I like that idea. I think I will take her to Hawaii after Wrestlemania to eliminate the stress and then take her to Europe for our honeymoon. "
"See? She'll love it. You act like you don't have money and she has money too."
"I know our kids will want for nothing but I hope Chelsea teaches them what her parents taught her and that is to give back."
"Exactly. Anyway. Who is marrying you two?" asked Ted.
"I don't know," said Cody, "Why? Does your dad want to marry us?"
"I'm sure he wouldn't object. I was just curious. Do you want me to ask him?"
"That would be great," said Cody. "Thanks."
"No problem," said Ted.
After they finished their lunch Cody headed home. When he walked into the house he could smell the lemon fresh of the floor cleaner Chelsea had used to mop the kitchen floor and could hear the vacuum running in the living room. He walked into the living to see Chelsea dancing with the vacuum cleaner. He smiled as he watched her. She was beautiful there was no way he could deny that. Chelsea turned the vacuum off when she was done and was startled to see Cody standing in the door way so she jumped when she saw him. "Cody, what are you doing?"
"Just watching you and thinking about how lucky I am," he said with a smile as he walked into the living room be closer to her.
"Thanks," she said. "You are pretty lucky. I'm pretty lucky too."
"No, Chels, you have no idea. I am the lucky one," he said. "I love you so much."
"I love you too," she said with a smile as Cody leaned down and softly kissed her lips.
