Dave accepted the offer for the shot at the World Heavy Weight Championship title, Tina was right once he told her what was on his mind that night he felt much better and they haven't augured since, then again there wasn't much time to argue let alone talk. Here it was a couple weeks away from Christmas and he hadn't seen Tina since he left only a few days after their little talk. Dave had been trying to call her since early in the morning but hadn't been able to reach her and he was really starting to worry that something had happened to her. He closed his phone once again not getting her to answer the phone at his house or her cell phone; he hadn't done something to make her upset with him had he? If he did he would just have to make up for it the next time he saw her which if things went right that would be tomorrow when he and a lot of the guys and girls backstage surprise her at his house for a baby shower. Tina had wanted to go buy things for the babies and start on the nursery but he wouldn't let her knowing that everyone on the roaster wanted to throw a baby shower. Dave had also had a surprise in store for her that know one else knew about. When he got home he would spend an hour with her then have Stacy and Christy show up and take her out for a day of spa fun, while he and some of the guys turned one of the guest rooms into the nursery, then when Tina and the girls return they would have to surprise party and show Tina the nursery. He just had to ask everyone that was going to be involved in the whole thing hopefully everyone said yes that way it would be done in one day. Dave opened the door to the hotel suite that he was sharing with Hunter and Ric, he walked in the room to find them sitting on the couch going over a few things that we're going on the following week. Dave sat down in the chair and listened to the last part of the conversation they were having.
"You get a hold of Tina yet?" Ric asked, Dave shook his head in reply. "Don't worry about it; I'm sure she's fine if something were wrong she would have called you to let you know."
"Yeah I agree with Ric, Tina's must likely just sleeping and we both know that she turns the phones off when she sleeps during the day." Hunter tried to comfort his friend.
"But she never shuts off her cell phone."
"She sticks it in the night stand drawer." Hunter reminded him. "You need to come out with tonight to get your mind off everything that going on around here. Why don't you join us at the club tonight?"
"No that's okay I'm going to try Tina one last time, then turn in early, I have an early flight out in the morning and I don't want to miss it. How before you leave I was wondering if you would come back home with me and help me fix up the nursery for the baby shower tonight, Tina doesn't know anything about it so it's kind of a surprise." Dave explained as his two friends stood from the couch.
"Yeah sure what time does the flight leave?" Hunter answered as he opened the door.
"Eight tomorrow morning." After Hunter sighed and nodded his head he walked out the door. Once they were gone Dave tried Tina's cell phone one last time then headed to bed for a very restless sleep.
The next morning Dave woke at five am, showered and got dressed then walked across the hall to make sure Hunter was up and ready to go only to find him still in bed snoring. After fighting with Hunter to get up out of bed and get ready they stood in the check in area at the local airport along with Stacy and Christy. They still had about two hours to kill before their plane took off and decided to get some breakfast in the food court and Stacy and Christy walked over to the little shopping store that sat beside the food court after buying a couple magazines each they headed back to join Hunter and Dave just in time to head over and board their plane.
The flight wasn't a short flight lasting only two and half hours, once they grabbed their bags from baggage claim they headed outside to find a cab, then headed to Dave's house. Dave noticed that his car was left in the same spot he left it before he left, they walked up to the house and Dave opened the front door, after shutting the door Dave called out Tina's name to have her answer saying she was in the kitchen. Dave walked into the kitchen and saw Tina standing with her back to him at the counter pouring a cup of juice wearing a pale pink maternity dress; he walked up behind Tina and kissed the back of her head.
"I have missed you so much." Tina whispered as she turned around to face him, Dave smiled and leaned down to kiss her stomach only to be kicked by one of the babies. "I think feel the same way I do." The baby kicked once again. "And I think they would like to have some attention also." Dave kissed her on the lips then knelt down in front of her placing his hands on the sides of her stomach and kissed it twice, once for each baby, then ran both of his hands over them to have them kick again.
"So where were you yesterday?" Dave asked as he stood.
"I slept in until noon then had lunch and went out to get out of the house, I was starting to go nuts being locked up in he house. Why do you ask?" Tina turned around and picked up her cup of hot tea and took a sip.
"I tried calling you all day but I couldn't get a hold of you, I was so worried that something had happened to you."
"Did you call my cell I had it with me all day?"
"Yeah I did." Tina walked over to her purse and took out her cell phone seeing that she had twenty missed calls.
"Baby I'm sorry I must have left it on vibrate and didn't know it."
"That's okay don't worry about it at least now I know you're okay." Dave walked over and kissed her on the lips as Hunter, Stacy and Christy walked in the kitchen.
"What are you guys doing here?" Tina asked when she seen the three walk in the room.
"Christy and I came to take you out for a day at the spa; we thought that you could use a day of rest and relaxation with carrying two babies." Stacy answered her.
"That sounds like heaven right now." Tina replied as she placed a hand in the middle of her back.
"You okay?" Dave asked with a look of concern covering his face.
"My back is just killing me. It has been for a while now."
"Well then let's get going." Christy took Tina's hand and they headed out the door with Tina stealing a quick kiss from Dave before the front door shut.
Once the girls left Dave and Hunter got started on the nursery by clearing everything out of the room and starting to mix paint and tape off the ceiling, door frames and windows, then they laid down plastic on the floor. Just as they were getting started the delivery man showed up at the house with the dresser's, cribs, rocking chair, changing tables and the other things that Dave had bought behind Tina's back one day when they went out baby window shopping. They had the delivery guys bring in everything and take it upstairs to the hallway, as the delivery guys were leaving a couple of the guys from the roaster showed up to help put together the nursery. Nearly four hours later the nursery was completely repainted with pink and blue colors so it would fit both the boy and girl for at least the first year, and all the cribs and things like that had been put together and the guys were setting everything up in the nursery. Dave took a soft pink canopy and screwed the top of it in the ceiling then fixed it fell along the back and sides of the cribs he then stood in the middle of the room and looked around it was perfect. One crib was set up on each side of the room along with a dresser, and a changing table sat by the door. There were all kinds of stuffed animals sitting on the bench that was connected to the bay windows, beside that was an Amish made doll house that had all the furniture in it. On the other side of the window Amish made barn along with wooden animals and tractors. The room was perfect in his mind, just what Tina had wanted. He looked at his watch a saw that they only had an hour before the girls would be back from the spa and they all needed to get a shower and change. Dave slowly walked out of the room closing the door behind him then headed to him room and took a quick shower.
After he dressed in a pair of black dress pants and light blue dress shirt he met everyone downstairs in the kitchen where Hunter was setting the cake down on the counter, Ric was out on the back deck cooking on the grill along with some of the guest that had already arrived.
"Christy just called and said that they would be here in ten minutes. Just about everyone is here, I took all of the gifts upstairs and set them in the nursery for you." Hunter said as Dave began pulling out the stuff to make the punch.
"Thanks man."
"Don't worry about it."
Dave heard the front door open and then heard Tina laugh at something one the girls had said to her, he walked over to the door of the kitchen as Tina, Stacy and Christy were approaching it. He noticed that not only had the girls gone to the spa but they went and had their hair, make-up and nails done also and Tina looked radient. Tina walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck placing a kiss on his lips.
"I take it you hade fun today." Dave replied running his fingers through her freshly cut hair, there wasn't much taken off but enough for people to notice. Tina smiled and nodded her head in reply to his question. "Well while you were out our house became invaded by every person on the roaster." Dave stepped to the side to reveal a deck full of people talking and laughing. He took her hand in his and led her out on to the deck.
"Oh my, what in the world are all of you doing here?" Tina asked shocked at all the people standing in front of her.
"Well with these being your guy's first babies and since you have nothing for these babies and they will be here in like four months if not sooner us girls pulled together and decided to throw you two a baby shower." Stacy explained coming up beside her.
"That is so sweet you guys." Tina turned and gave Stacy a hug. "Thank you so much."
The rest of the day was spent eating and celebrating, dancing and talking, later on that night Dave took Tina by the hand told everyone that he had something to show Tina upstairs and for everyone to follow them. Once they had reached the top of the stairs Dave led her down the hall and to the closed nursery door, with everyone gathered behind them Dave slowly opened the nursery door. Tina gasped in shock and amazement, she couldn't believe that he had gotten everything that she wanted in the nursery not just the cribs and things but he had every last detail that she wanted from the canopy over the girls crib to the soft, cushy white carpet and the blankets and sheet sets for the cribs, the wall on the girls side had been painted a soft pink with soft blue wallpaper at the bottom and the boys wall was just the opposite. Tina stood in the middle of the room and looked around noticing the rocking chair in the corner and the bench in front of him bay window; Dave walked up behind Tina and wrapped his arms around her.
"Do you like it?" He whispered softly. Tina nodded as a few tears fell from her eyes.
"These damn hormones." Tina laughed then wiped away the tears. "Thank you so much Dave, this means so much to me." Dave kissed her on the cheek.
"I can't take all the credit for all of this I had help from some of the guys."
"Well you guys did a very good job." Tina turned to the group that was joining them in the nursery.
"We did it because we love you." Hunter replied walking up to her and giving her a hug.
"I love you guys too."
Thanks again to those of you who reviewed to the last chapter I love reading what you think about this story.
