Chapter 50

The next night, Colby and I went to NXT TakeOver. We sat front row along with Fergal and Becky. Colby and Fergal, or more so, Seth Rollins and Finn Balor were the Number One Contenders for the Universal and WWE World Heavyweight Championships. They got star treatment right then.

The day following that, it was WrestleMania. Colby had breakfast with me, Jackson and our parents. Then Colby was off to the arena for Mania. My parents, myself, and Jackson joined him a few hours later. Colby was in the middle of the rehearsals for his entrance when we arrived. It was no big deal. We just hung out.

"Just the people I wanted to see," Colby said after he was done with his entrance rehearsals.

"Hi," I said.

"Hey," Colby said. He gave me a quick kiss. "You doing okay?"

"I'm great. Jackson's good too. As well as the baby."

"Good." He kissed me again. He also kissed Jackson who was asleep in the baby sling I carried him. Plus, he kneeled down kissing my stomach.

I smiled.

Colby shared a hug with his mom, step dad, and my mom. He also talked to them for a few minutes.

"All right, I need to get ready now," Colby said.

"Okay," I said. I understood needing to get ready for shows, especially WrestleMania.

"Actually, I thought maybe you'd like to be with me while I was getting ready. That is if the parents don't mind it."

I smiled and looked at my in-laws and my mom.

"You go with him, sweetheart," My mom said.

"Yes," Holly, Colby's mom said.

"Yeah, sure," I said.

"You just leave our grandson with us, though," Bob, Colby's stepdad said.

"I was actually going to suggest that," Colby said.

"Of course," I said.

I carefully took of the sling and handed Jackson over to my mom. She already had the diaper bag for him.

"All right, I'll see you all in a little bit before you head to your seats," Colby said.

"Sounds good," Holly said.

"Love you, Mom," He said, kissing her.

"Love you too."

Colby gave my mom kiss as well and hug to his stepdad. He gave Jackson a kiss on the head. He gently took my hand and the two of us headed off. He needed to grab his especially designed gear for Mania before we went into his own locker room.

"How were your rehearsals?" I asked.

"Great," Colby said. "I feel great today, babe! Tonight, is going to be great!"

"Of course, it is. Seth Rollins is finally going to be Universal Champion."

"Damn right. If you weren't pregnant right now, I'd more than likely put a baby in you tonight."

"Was that the plan for a celebration a few months ago before I got pregnant?"

"Not really."

"I wouldn't have minded if that were the plan. People do have kids close together."

Colby chuckled.

Colby and I enjoyed a few hours by ourselves. I knew it was something he needed and wanted. That WrestleMania match was one of the biggest matches of his career. He needed the distraction for a few hours. I know the day of my first WrestleMania, WrestleMania 32, I needed the distraction. Colby had been there for me that day. He had hated not being part of it, of course. But he made me feel better.

Just before WrestleMania got underway, my parents and I with Jackson took our seats in the crowd. We weren't front row. We didn't need to be. We sat with Becky and Fergal's parents. It was nice to be with them.

The show was awesome as always. Jackson was really good about getting through the show. Even with the very loud noises and fans. I had Jackson the whole time, though. My parents and Becky offered to help me out, but I was good. I just had him in the baby sling. But I had a very loud Becky after Fergal won his championship.

However, that was me after the referee counted to the three, the bell rang, and Seth Rollins was announced as the winner of his match and the new Universal Champion. I was screaming and cheering as Colby was in the ring celebrating. He had the title in his hands.

A few hours later, Colby and I were back in our hotel room. We had celebrated his win with family and friends with hugs and such. We would have gone out with friends to celebrate. My parents would have taken Jackson for us like they always did. But Colby didn't want to go out. He was tired.

"I just want to be alone with you tonight, baby," He said. "You and Jackson."

And that's what happened. We were all back at our hotel alone. Jackson was asleep.

"Oh, my God, it feels nice to just be lying here," Colby said as he laid flat on his back on the hotel room bed.

I laughed. I knew he was tired. I didn't blame him if he was.

"How about a massage?" I suggested.

"I would love one," Colby said.

"Okay," I said.

"You know I love them, baby doll."

"I love them from you too."

Colby chuckled. He sat up on the bed. He took his T-shirt off and threw it on the bed next to him. He rolled onto his stomach and got comfortable. I got onto the bed with him and on top of his body, straddling his waist. I then gently began to massage his back. I started at his shoulders.

"How's that feel?" I asked.

"Good. Very good," Colby said.

"How about this?" I asked, applying more pressure.

"Now it's great!"

I laughed.

I kept going. I slowly worked my way down his back. I loved the feel of his muscles under my hands.

"Are you still awake?" I asked after a few minutes.

"Mmm-hmm," Colby replied. "But I could go to sleep right about now, actually."

"Why don't you?" I asked. "Let me keep massaging you, to help you go to sleep."

"If you insist."

"I insist."

Colby chuckled. I kept on massaging my husband's back and shoulders. After a few more minutes I knew he was sound asleep. I moved off of him. I carefully got off the bed. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. I turned the lights out to the room. I rejoined Colby in bed, who was still asleep. I kissed him on his head as he always did to me.

I knew Colby was very worn out from that day. He was asleep now and that was important to me. I knew he would recuperate from the sleep too. Once he had a good few hours of sleep, Colby was ready to take on the world. Coffee also helped too. But sleep would work just fine for now.
