Joe squeezed Jayme's hand softly as they walked through the crowded halls of the arena. He hoped his presence would give her some kind of ease. Jayme already expressed so many emotions throughout the morning on meeting her newest sibling, Lucas. Colby met the couple outside the double doors of the conference room, a look of nervousness on his face as well.
"Hey kiddo." He said giving her a hug. "You look just as nervous as me."
Jayme smiled softly as she hugged him once more. Hugging Colby reassured her that everything was going to be ok. She kept telling herself that Lucas was just going to add more of a bond not take what they had away.
"Well he is waiting for us so we better get in there." Colby said nodding towards Joe and kissing Becky before he opened the doors.
"Just be you, Beautiful." Joe said grabbing Jayme's arm and bringing her in for a soft kiss.
She grinned against his lips before she parted and entered behind Colby. A man younger than both of them was sitting at the round table in the middle of the room.
"You must be Lucas." Colby said extending his hand towards the man, "I'm Colby and this is Jayme."
"Hello, it's really nice to meet you." Jayme said softly shaking his hand.
"This just seems like a dream." Lucas chuckled as the three of them sat around the table.
"Trust me I was in your exact spot a little over a month ago." Jayme snickered hoping to help him some.
"So my mom knew who my…. I mean our father was, she just wasn't sure about siblings. Did your moms know." Lucas asked sitting up straight in the chair.
"My mom knew but she told me with his job he traveled a lot." Colby replied.
"I was adopted when I was a baby so I never knew either parent. Colby and now you, are the only blood family I know." Jayme chimed in.
The three of them continued their talk and got to know one another for the next couple of hours. Before they knew it, Becky was popping her head in to let Colby know he had to prepare for his match.
"This is my beautiful fiancé, Becky." Colby grinned as the red head gave the new sibling a hug.
"Sorry my dear but I'm a hugger." She laughed as she patted Lucas's back.
"You're good." He chuckled hugging her back.
"You can hang out with me while the show is going on and then we will meet back up with Colby." Jayme smiled, standing to her feet.
"Sounds like fun." Lucas grinned as he followed the petite girl out the door.
"I'll take you to meet my best friend, Apryle. She is probably in catering with Kevin and Joe."
"You seem like a pro at this already." He laughed as they walked down the winding hall, Superstars waving as they passed.
"Not really." She giggled, "I just follow the signs they have posted and pray I don't get lost."
Jayme looked around as they entered the room and spotted her group sitting at the table in the corner. She grabbed Lucas's hand gently and led the way.
"Hey guys. I'd like for you to meet Lucas," She paused bringing him from behind her, "this is Apryle and her boyfriend Kevin."
"Nice to meet you." He said as he shook their hands.
"And this is my… umm… my Joe." She smiled.
"Well, I guess it's finally official y'all." Joe laughed winking at Jayme, "I'm her Joe." He shook Lucas's just before he pulled Jayme down on his lap.
"So how is it going man?" Kevin asked the younger gentleman.
"A little overwhelming comes to mind." Lucas chuckled softly.
"I can imagine but you have some great siblings to help you now." Apryle smiled.
"I can tell. I hope to join the bond they already share."
"Most definitely." Jayme smiled patting his hand that was placed on the table.
After they left the catering room, the girls took Lucas to their seats for the show. Once again the girls were in awe at the talent the Superstars had. Lucas knew of WWE but he wasn't an avid fan so Jayme and Apryle gave him a play by play of what was happening. By the end of the show, Jayme was pretty sure Lucas was turning into a fan.
Not being able to take a bunch of time off from his job, Lucas had to catch his flight shortly after the show. Colby and Jayme both hated to see him go so soon but they exchanged numbers and made plans to meet up again soon. Since both Lucas and Colby lives in Iowa he hoped when he was home to catch up from time to time.
"You ok kiddo." Colby asked as he and Jayme walked out of the airport and into the parking lot where the others were waiting.
"Yeah, I'm great." She said wrapping her arm around his waist as he draped his arm around her neck.
"So things still good with you and Joe?" He arched his brow.
"It's only been a day there brother." She smiled shaking her head.
"Well as long as that smile continues to stay on that face I'm good." He winked, "I can see how much you mean to him and I haven't seen that in years even when he was with Galina."
"He means a lot to me too." She said looking up at her brother as they neared the vehicles.
"You two ready to head out." Kevin yelled as he hopped into the drivers side of the black SUV.
"I'll see you at the hotel." Colby said hugging her tight before getting into the other SUV that Becky was waiting in.
Jayme slid in the back beside Joe as he wrapped his arm around her neck placing a soft kiss on her lips. She knew this was going to be a long ride to the next city but it didn't matter to her.
