Sorry it been a while since I updated, laptop issues and writers block are to blame lol
It had been a month since Mia had retired from wrestling; the transition from wrestling on a nightly basis to being at home all the time still an odd one for her. Actually being able to sleep eight hours a night was weird. Not being at the airport and on the road all the time was odd. The weirdest part though, for Mia, was not being with Punk all the time. They would call and text and FaceTime whenever Punk was free, but it wasn't the same as actually being with him. Mia understood it though, that had also been her life for so long.
Lying in bed, wearing one of Punk's t-shirts, Mia was too excited to sleep. In the morning, she would be seeing Punk and everyone else, going to Raw which was in Iowa, before Punk would be coming home for his days off; not being needed on Smackdown. Mia couldn't wait to see him. With a plethora of interviews and a photoshoots, Mia hadn't seen him for nearly two weeks. Looking at the clock and knowing Punk, Mia knew he would still be awake. Unable to sleep, she decided to FaceTime him. Something the two had become accustomed to doing late at night, when Mia was unable to sleep or just wanted to see and speak to Punk; normally resulting in her falling asleep halfway through a FaceTime session. As much as Mia could now actually get a full night's sleep now, it was still an odd concept that her body wasn't used to yet.
Mia smiled when Punk's face appeared on her phone. "Hey."
"Hey beautiful, how are my babies tonight?" Mia loved it when Punk referred to her and their unborn baby as his babies.
"Too excited to sleep. I can't wait to see you tomorrow," Mia beamed. "How was the show tonight?"
"I can't wait to see you either. The show was good. The girls and Zack will be glad to see you tomorrow. I think they miss you almost as much as I miss you."
"Aww, I miss them too. I spoke to Zack earlier. Which reminds me, stop telling him we renamed Ryder!"
Punk laughed; "It's too much fun teasing him though. It's so much easier to do now you're not here," Punk grinned.
"You're so mean," Mia playfully teased. "Be nice."
"Yes boss," Punk replied smirking.
"Oh yeah, your mom is coming over for lunch on Thursday."
"Cool. So will lunch involve peanut butter or are we craving anything new?" Punk asked, smiling, knowing peanut butter had been Mia's favourite thing to eat for the last month. He had stopped raising an eyebrow two weeks ago at the different things she would have it with. He was pretty sure there wasn't anything new she could now try it with.
"Stop being mean to me," Mia pouted. "Peanut butter is amazing and yes, it probably will be part of lunch," Mia grinned making Punk laugh.
"Seeing as Punktober officially starts in like two weeks. I was thinking, do you think you could get a couple of days off and we could, maybe, go away on a little holiday?" Mia asked, knowing how Punk had, a long time ago, renamed the whole of October, his birthday month, Punktober.
"Sounds good. I'll see what they say."
An hour later and Punk could see Mia's eyes slowly start to droop, he knew it wouldn't be long until she was asleep.
"Tinks, move onto your side and put the phone up against the other pillow, someone's looking a little tired." He smiled used to getting her to move the phone so it was propped up against the other pillow on their bed so he could talk to her until she was asleep but she wasn't crushing the phone.
"Mm, I'm fine, babe," Mia's sleepy voice said as she did what Punk said. Punk smiled at her stubbornness to stay awake.
"Uh-huh, Tinks. I love you and peanut."
"I love you too," was the last thing Mia said before falling asleep.
Punk smiled as he watched Mia sleeping for a few minutes before ending the FaceTime session.
Mia jumped into Punk's arms the moment she saw him in the airport, wrapping her legs around his waist.
Punk held Mia close to him as the pair kissed in the airport. Not caring about all the fans probably taking pictures of the reunion. "I missed you so much."
"I missed you too" Mia replied before kissing him again.
"Let's get some lunch before heading to the arena. Peanut's hungry," Mia declared as Punk placed her back on the ground.
"What do you feel like?"
"Pepperoni pizza."
Mia sat with her head on Punk's shoulder in catering, listening to the Bella's excitedly talking about their onscreen feud that had been going since SummerSlam. Mia hadn't been able to take the smile off her face since meeting Punk in the airport. She loved being backstage again with him and everyone else.
"Sorry, Tinks, I gotta take this. It's Colt, you know him probably got himself in an awkward situation or something knowing him." Punk said, taking his ringing phone out of his pocket. He quickly kissed Mia on the side of the head before standing up and walking out of catering.
With Punk on the phone, Mia moved to rest her head on Emma's shoulder instead who was sat the other side of her. "Hey," she smiled.
Emma laughed, "Hey. I see I'm your new cushion."
Mia gave her a toothy grin, "You're a really comfy one."
Punk walked up and down the hallway, talking to Colt.
"Yeah I don't think that will work."
"So basically, you want to be super romantic but not cringey?"
"Yes. I've got to do this right. I want it to be perfect."
"It will be. So plan A is no longer an option, but there are plenty other ways you can do this, Punk. Stop worrying."
"What if she says no?"
"Yeah, cos that's obviously going to happen. She loves you. Trust me, she's going to say yes."
Closing her eyes, Mia hoped the sudden nausea feeling would pass soon; her least favourite part of being pregnant so far had been the morning sickness.
Suddenly getting up from her seat, her hand covering her mouth, she ran out of the room needing to find the nearest toilet before she threw up everywhere. She was in such a rush to find a toilet, she hadn't even noticed that she had passed Punk.
Punk had noticed her though and had quickly ended his call with Colt. He knew by the look on her face that Mia was feeling sick.
Finding her a minute later in a disabled toilet down the corridor, he knelt down next to her, holding her hair out of her face with one hand and rubbing her back with the other as she repeatedly threw up.
After she was finished, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and flushed the toilet before moving into Punk's embrace on the floor, resting her head on his chest while he wrapped his arms around her still in his kneeling position.
As he sat there running his hand threw her hair, she moved slightly to look at him. "Can we go lie on your bus for a bit?"
Punk kissed her forehead, "Course we can, Tinks. Anything you want." He stood up and gently pulled her up.
Back on the bus and in Punk's bed, after drinking some water, Mia lay with her head on Punk's chest listening to his steady heartbeat while he gently rubbed her back, one of her legs over his. Breathing in the familiar scent of him she felt calm and relaxed, eventually drifting off to sleep in his arms.
Waking up a few hours later Mia looked at her phone, shocked when she saw she had been asleep for two hours, meaning Raw had already started. Getting off the bed she put some shoes on before heading off the bus, hoping she hadn't missed Punk's match with Cesaro.
Walking down the corridor, she headed for catering figuring she'd check there first before his locker room as that's where he and most of their friends normally were backstage. And she was right, he was in there sitting with John, Nikki, AJ, Mike, Zack and Dolph. As she got closer to the table, Punk spotted her and stood up.
"Hey you're awake, Tinks," he smiled at her.
"Yeah, why did you let me sleep so long? You should have woken me up. I didn't miss your match did I?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around his waist, chin resting on his chest as she looked up at him.
Punk kissed her nose before replying. "Because you were clearly tired and needed some sleep. And no, you haven't missed anything of mine. Anyway, how you feeling now?"
"Half like I wanna stay with you guys and watch the rest of Raw, a bit like I wanna go back to bed and also like I want to kiss you," she looked innocently up at Punk.
Punk just grinned at her, lowering his head. "I'm on board with that last part," he said before his lips connected with hers as he pulled even closer into his body.
"Aww so cute, but remember guys this is what got you pregnant in the first place," Mike joked.
Punk and Mia elected to ignore Mike as they continued to stand there kissing; only pulling apart when they both needed air.
Smiling up at him, Mia placed her hands on his chest. "I'm cold can I have your hoodie?"
Punk sighed dramatically, "I guess seeing as I love you so much, yes you can wear my hoodie." He grinned before unzipping it and passing it to her before sitting back down.
Mia put the hoodie on and zipped it up before sitting sideways on Punk's lap, resting her head against his shoulder and softly kissing his neck. "I love you too. When's your match?"
"After dumb and dumber's over here," Punk replied looking at Mike and Dolph.
Mia smiled as Punk led her to sit down on their large, L shaped couch, insisting he had something to show her.
"If this is to do with your birthday, I already know what I'm doing for it," Mia smiled.
"It's not. I made something for peanut when they're older," Punk said, handing her a large book.
Mia smiled as she saw it had Peanut written on the front. Opening it, she saw it had pictures of her and Punk when they first met. "I thought it would be nice for when they're older. Pictures of when we first met, when we were friends, when we started dating."
Mia could feel tears prickling her eyes as she looked through the pictures on the first few pages back when she and Punk were just friend. She had forgotten about half the pictures that had been taken of them. "Aww, 12 week scan. This is so cute." Mia smiled at the pages Punk had left free to put scan pictures.
"There's more, keep going," Punk smiled, feeling himself getting a little nervous.
Mia's breath hitched in her throat as she came across a page, not too far in, that had the words 'engagement' and Punk suddenly got down on one knee in front of her holding a silver engagement ring.
"Tinks, you make me so happy and make me want so many things I never used to want. I can't imagine my life without you and I don't want to. Will you marry me?"
A few tears rolled down Mia's cheeks as she chucked her arms around Punk's neck. "Oh my god Yes!" She said before kissing Punk.
Punk held Mia close to him, pulling her completely off the couch and into his lap as he kissed her. Pulling back, he placed the ring which had a larger diamond in the middle and smaller diamonds on either side, on her ring finger before kissing the palm of her hand.
Mia wiped the tears away before kissing Punk passionately before leaving a trail of kisses along his stubble covered jaw up to his ear where she whispered seductively, "Let's go upstairs and celebrate properly."
