Chapter 27

Mercedes was so happy to get home a few days later to Evelyn. Colby went home with her too. He wasn't back on the road full-time yet. WWE was slowly going to fully load his schedule again.

"Oh, my beautiful baby girl," Mercedes said as she rocked back and forth in the rocking chair of Evelyn's nursery. Evelyn slept soundly in her mother's arms.

"Oh, I missed you, sweetheart," Mercedes said. "I know Cassie (Peyton Royce) didn't mean any of those things she said on Raw on Monday. But it made me think. It made me think I was selfish. But don't think of me as selfish, sweetheart.

"I love you as much as I love wrestling! I was very scared and angry when everything happened last year. I was scared and unhappy when I found out I was pregnant. I hoped I lost you. I wasn't sure I wanted you. But it didn't take me long to realize I might want to keep you. But when I heard your heartbeat for the first time and I saw you on that ultrasound as just a very small thing, I knew I wanted you. Now here you are."

Mercedes smiled.

"Being pregnant with you was a great experience. I enjoyed every minute of it. I didn't think too deep into how you were conceived. I didn't care. I had your daddy, Colby by my side the other time. Colby IS YOUR DADDY! No matter what anyone says! You are loved by everyone of his family and friends outside of what is your mommy's. But everyone in my family and friends loves you too. Everyone in the WWE definitely loves you. Not everyone has met you in person, but they are in awe of you. But we'll make that happen soon. Aurora, Murphy, and Vaughn are definitely a few that want to meet you.

"I got to spend some time with them on Friday. That was a lot of fun. I don't want you at their size quite yet. I love having you this small and in my arms. I know it'll come. But right now you are still a little baby girl. My baby girl! All mine."

"I beg to differ," A voice whispered.

Mercedes looked toward the door with a smile. She saw Colby standing there. He walked into the room. Mercedes looked back down at Evelyn.

Colby took a seat in the lounge chair. "She's all mine too!"

"You're the only other one who can have her!"

Colby smiled.

Mercedes slowly got up from the rocking chair. She walked over to the crib and placed Evelyn down. She then turned her attention to her fiancée. She reached for his hands. Colby smiled, getting up from the chair. He then let Mercedes take his hands. She pulled him out of the nursery. She let go of one of his hands. Colby grabbed onto the door, closing it, but leaving it slightly ajar.

"I have something to tell you," Colby said.

"What?" Mercedes asked.

"I found us a good deal on a bus. But I wanted to show it to you before we make a final decision."

"Yes, show it to me."

"All right, come on," Colby said.

The two went into the kitchen and sat at the kitchen table where Colby's laptop was open. Colby showed Mercedes the pictures on the inside of the bus.

"Ooh, that's really nice and roomy," Mercedes said.

"Yeah," Colby said. "Do you think we should get it? This is the price right here."

Mercedes nodded her head. It truly was a good deal for the bus.

"It's a really good price and it's what we've been looking for," Mercedes commented.

"Yeah," Colby said.

"It could also get the ball rolling with me getting back in the ring. Because I don't want to get back on the road myself without Evelyn. This weekend was just a stepping stone for me."

"Of course. You do whatever you want for your return, baby doll. I'm fully supportive. You just do what you want to do! Evelyn will be just fine! It'll all be just fine!"

"Thank you, baby," Mercedes smiled, kissing him.

"You're welcome," Colby replied.

"How about I show you just how thankful I am?" She smirked.

Colby smirked himself. "Why the hell not?!"

"Come on then!" Mercedes exclaimed. She grabbed onto his hand, standing up and pulling him with her. She led him towards the living room. "I don't want to wake Evelyn!"

"Good idea!"

Mercedes giggled.
