Chapter 32

A few weeks later, it was Christmas. Mercedes and Colby were both happy to have some of the time off. They were happy to recharge their batteries and then get back to work. The next important thing was Royal Rumble. And Colby was one of the few who were in consideration for winning it and facing the current Universal Champion at WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

But also with the time off work, the two could enjoy time at home with Evelyn. She was about five months old. But Mercedes and Colby enjoyed every moment they had with her.

"Next Christmas is going to be more fun with her being old enough to actually enjoy her presents," Colby commented.

"Yes," Mercedes replied. "But it's nice to be at home and spend time with her."

"I agree."

"I have loved traveling again and being back in the ring, but I enjoy being home with her."

"Me too. But we have Royal Rumble in a month."

"Oh, that's all you, baby," Mercedes commented. "You have the big match. It's hard to say what Sasha Banks has really. Just kicking Peyton Royce and Billie Kay's asses with Becky Lynch."

"I know I'm enjoying that," Colby replied. "Fergal definitely is."

"Of course, he has his wife on the same roster as him now."

"You're one of the few he thanks for that by the way."

"Why am I one of the few?" Mercedes asked.

"You coming back to work with your storyline brought everything together for people to consider trading Ashley and Pam to SmackDown, bringing Becky and Leah to Raw," Colby replied.

"That is very true," Mercedes nodded her head in agreement. "And that makes me happy too!"

Colby chuckled.

"So, when's my favorite WWE Superstar going to be Universal Champion?"

"WrestleMania 34, baby! WrestleMania 34! I'm winning the 2018 Royal Rumble!"

"Yes!" Mercedes exclaimed.

Colby laughed.

"I'm so happy and proud for you," Mercedes said, kissing him.

"As am I of you. But not only will I win Royal Rumble next month and headline WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans, Louisiana become a champion, so will you!"

"Do you know something I don't?" Mercedes asked.

"Sasha Banks is getting a shot at the Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania 34 and will win!"

"Oh, my fucking God!" Mercedes squealed with delight. "Really?"

"Yes!"

Mercedes squealed again. She quickly moved over to Colby, kissing him. She kissed him just the same way she had with their very first kiss. Their very first kiss which had been outside the building of her OB/GYN's office in which she had the very first appointment about her pregnancy. That appointment which she had decided to keep her baby.

Mercedes pulled away from her fiancé a few moments later. "I love you, baby," She said.

"I love you too, gorgeous," Colby replied.
