GirA/N: Alright guys so I decided that instead of Destiny: Book 2 to keep building on with this book and I'm sorry for the small little filler Chapter and I plan having a few more career chapters than personal chapter. And thanks to my buddy The Lucha Warrior for allowing me to use an OC of his, who will make their appearance of the next chapter.
Monday, July 15th, 2019 – Charlotte, North Carolina
It's been months since Ced had suffered his tragic defeat in the main event of NXT TakeOver: New York. And since then, Ced had stayed his distance from NXT and from WWE. He had been at home focusing more on his growing family despite the weekly phone call he would get from Hunter asking if he were ready to return. Over the past few months, Ced had taken the time to focus on his family and had moved away from his former place of residence to move into a bigger house. His new house had nearly everything a man could dream of with 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, his and hers closets in the master bedroom. 2 garages fit for 3 cars, an in-house gym and office space as well as a pool in the backyard and sure, it was costly as hell with a price tag up in the millions. But when you're a WWE Superstar whose merchandise is selling like crazy and whose own personal brand was starting to take off after only being out for only a few months and he had made enough to pay off nearly 25% of his house. The house wasn't the only thing that had change over the past few months.
He had been back in the gym gaining his muscle and definition back that he had lost when he was focusing on losing weight for the Triple Threat match. Ced had also gotten some new tattoos on right arm. On the back side of his bicep under the lion, he had a pair of praying hands and on the upper side of his bicep, he had a clock tattooed with the clock arms on 5:53 with an angel that had their wings holding up the clock. On the wrist of his forearm, he had a wristband of roses with the blank space for where his grandmother name went. He had Chosen on his forearm bone with an array of clouds taking up the rest of the unfilled space with a few quotes that his father would always say to him.
Currently he laid in the bedroom asleep with Kalani resting her head on his chest while he had his arm wrapped around her with a hand resting on her pregnant belly. She was quickly approaching 6 months pregnant and so far, Ced had been there all along for the ride through all of her aches and pains as well as the doctor's appointments and the weird cravings. Kalani had loved Ced being there for her. She loved that whatever she needed he was there to give it to her.
She was the first one to wake as she groaned while her eyes slowly started to open. She looked up at her man and smiled as she placed a kiss on his cheek before she moved his arm and sat up. She looked around at her master bedroom and smiled as she saw the new living space. She got up from her bed and walked into her bathroom to freshen up.
(!)
After her shower, Kalani walked into the kitchen wearing a pair of black tights with a pink tank top. She had her curly hair down to her back. She sighed as she walked to the counter which had the coffee maker on its surface. She was surprised when she saw that there was coffee already make in the coffee pot and it was hot.
"That big crook." She said as she looked around. She then turned around and walked out of the kitchen and walked through the hallways to get to the Master Bedroom. When she walked into the bedroom and looked at the empty bed making her frown. Her frown turned back into a smile as she heard the music coming from Ced's JBL speaker. She knew it was Ced as soon as she heard the Kendrick Lamar playing. She walked through the bathroom and walked into his closet to see him standing there with a towel wrapped around his waist. She leaned up against the doorway watching him sing his Kendrick picking out his workout clothes.
"That towel is kinda turning me on." She said making him chuckle as he then turned around to look at her.
"You see this how you got pregnant in the first place."
"You weren't complaining in bed."
"Well, you wouldn't be either if you had a woman like you."
"You never ceize to amaze me with the compliments."
"I hope not. My queen deserves a compliment every day." He said as he walked towards her and leaned down and gave her a quick peck. He walked around her and placed his clothes down on the bed.
"Why'd you make the coffee?"
"I just wanted to make it for you. I need to know how; besides you always make the coffee."
"Awww. Trust me you're gonna have a lot of time to know how. Especially after this baby. I gotta focus on getting my brand back up. Especially since I lose 23% of my followers. I was at 3 mill 3 weeks ago and now I'm at 2.3 mill."
"Babe, I have no doubt in my mind that you'll definitely get your followers up and you'll make plenty of more followers."
"That's easy for you to say. You got like 2.5 mill and you've only been Instagram a little bit less than a year. I've been on for years."
"Kala, you have the rest of your life to be. You just turned 21 like a few weeks ago. Live your life and don't worry. Worry hurts the baby." He said as he placed a hand on her belly. She exhaled and looked down at her belly and placed a hand over his.
"You know, I've been thinking about what you said."
"About what?"
"Going back to WWE?"
"And?"
"I think you should do it. Definitely. You deserve to live your dream. You sacrificed so much for it. You sacrificed our relationships years ago and you worked so hard to get here and get back to me so there's no reason to give up your dream."
"And what happens if you have the baby while I'm on the road?"
"I won't. Trust me."
"You have no control over that little man that's in there."
"You mean that little girl."
"Nah, my little man man."
"If it is a boy, we're not giving him that nickname."
"We'll see. Now get outta here, I gotta put some clothes on before your crazy ass gets some ideas."
"Too late. I already have some." She said as she turned around and started to walk out of the room.
"Can I know them?" He asked as he watched her walk away. He sighed as she left the room. Now it was time to return those calls from Hunter and accept that the WWE was his Destiny and his girlfriend knew it. And she encouraged it. It was time. Time to be Ced, the ass-kicking machine once again.
