Chapter Forty Four:

The next morning Jon woke up. He blindly reached an arm over to wrap around Brooklyn, but his arm hit the mattress instead. Opening his eyes, he saw she wasn't there. The bed felt warm which meant she hadn't been gone long. Sitting up, he pushed his hair out of his eyes and rubbed them. Hearing the opening of the door, he dropped his hands and blinked a few times before looking to see Brooklyn coming in with a tray filled with all sorts of food.

"Morning baby" she said, carefully getting on the bed.

"Morning darlin. What's all this?"

"What, I can't make my amazing fiance breakfast in bed?" Jon gave her a look, getting an innocent look back.

"What do you want?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Jon just looked at her until she sighed.

"Fine. I decided today I would try and put you in the Christmas spirit.

"How" he asked slowly.

"Well mom called and asked if we would take the girls to get their pictures with Santa taken." Jon groaned and shook his head.

"No. I don't want to go spend all day in some crowded, hot, mall."

"Come on Jon, it won't be all day and you can do some Christmas shopping,"

"Why I already got your present." Brooklyn smiled.

"Yea but what about all your friends?"

"I usually buy the rounds at the bar the next time we go out." Brooklyn giggled softly.

"Please? Then we can come home and bake cookies and watch Christmas movies, oh we can do a snowball fight" she said, smiling wide. Jon groaned.

"I don't know babe."

"Please I promise it will be fun and since Colby got a hotel room, we have the house all to ourselves if you worried he'll see you." Colby decided to get a hotel room late last night when he heard Brooklyn and Jon having sex again.

Jon looked at her. He could tell she was trying to make their first Christmas special and who was he to deny her. If this was the year before, he wouldn't let anyone talk him into this, but with her it was different. All he wanted was for her to be happy.

"Okay, fine. But, if I get irritated, I want to leave." Brooklyn nodded and held her hand out.

"Deal." Jon grabbed her hand and pulled her forward so he could kiss her lips.

"You are so lucky I love you." Brooklyn smiled and kissed him again.

"I love you too, more than you probably know." Jon smiled and kissed her nose, making her smile at the sweet gesture.

"Same darlin." She grinned and pecked his nose making him smile. They ate their breakfast before showering.

"Jon stop we have to get out soon" she giggled when he kept trailing kisses up and down her neck, nipping her skin with his teeth here and there.

"Not my fault you're addicting." Brooklyn smiled and bit her lip before turning to face him.

"And you need your fix?" Jon nodded and reached up, pulling her lip from her teeth.

"Stop biting your lip."

"Why" she said innocently. She knew when she bit her lip, it turned him on.

"You know why" he growled. Brooklyn giggled and turned fully around to wrap her arms around his neck.

"Tell you what" she started, playing with the hairs on the base of her neck.

"We can have some fun, if, you agree to get our picture done with Santa today too." Jon groaned a little. He was torn. He really wanted to have sex with her, but he really hated that idea. In the end, wanting to feel her around him and have her close won.

"Fine, but we keep it to ourselves." Brooklyn nodded and smiled when he lent down and kissed her passionately. Brooklyn moaned and opened her mouth so their tongues could play.

"Turn around, hands on the wall" he demanded. Brooklyn did as she was told and stuck her ass out. Jon groaned and grabbed her hips, before gently thrusting into her, both moaning loudly. He started off with slow, long, thrusts.

"Jon" she moaned softly, throwing her head back. He moved his hand up to grab a hand full of her hair and moved it out of the way to attach his lips to her neck. He licked, sucked, and kissed her sweet spot, making sensations run through her body

"God I can never get enough of you" he said, thrusting harder but not to hard that he would do something to hurt the babies or her.

"I-Is that a bad thing" she got out between moan as he hit her g-spot.

"No, not at all" he whispered. Brooklyn felt herself getting close, the feeling intensifying as he reached a hand down to rub her clit in time with his thrusts.

"JON" she yelled throwing her head back as she came hard. Jon thrust into her more before reaching his own climax.

"Fuck" he said, as they came down from their highs. Brooklyn smiled as he pulled out of her. She turned and kissed him softly before they finished their shower. When they were done and dried off, Brooklyn slipped her robe on before going to find something to wear. She decided on a red long sleeved shirt, black skinny jeans, black saude high heels that had gold colored gems on them. She slipped on her clothes and shoes before going into the bathroom to do her hair and make up while Jon was shaving.

"Why are you shaving I thought you liked the beard."

"I do but its starting to get itchy." He looked over at her as she plugged in her straightener. She turned and saw him staring.

"What?"

"You look beautiful." Brooklyn smiled and pulled her make up bag out and started doing it while she waited for the straightener to be ready.

"Thank you. What are you going to wear?" Jon shrugged and dipped the razor in the water in the sink to rinse it off before once more putting it back to his face, cleaning it of any stubble.

"Probably jeans, t-shirt, jacket,"

"Your usual" she teased. Jon smirked as they continued to work around each other to get ready. Brooklyn did simple make up before starting on her hair while Jon went and changed. Straightening her hair, she parted it to the left before leaving it alone. She unplugged her iron and slipped her engagement ring on before turning the lights off and leaving the room. Walking out, she saw Jon standing in the walk in closet, trying to decide which shirt he should wear.

"Pick the red one, we could twin" she said, going in to grab her leather jacket. Jon chuckled and decided on the red one.

"Aw babe" she said, smiling as he slipped it on. Jon rolled his eyes before shrugging on his leather jacket.

"Hope you know we're taking a picture." Jon rolled his eyes again.

"Of course we are" he muttered. Brooklyn smiled and pulled him over to the floor length mirror. He wrapped his arms around her, resting his hands on her stomach feeling the twins kick before kissing her head. Brooklyn smiled and took the picture.

"Can I post it?" Jon nodded and kissed her head again before watching her open Instagram and get the picture ready.

Trying to turn the Grinch into a Christmas lover isn't easy. Good thing he loves me though.#Twinning

Showing Jon, she got a nod of approval before pushing the post button.

"Ready now?" Brooklyn nodded and grabbed her purse while Jon grabbed the car keys and his wallet before they locked up and left. Driving the short distance to her parents, Jon waited in the car while Brooklyn ran in to get her sisters. He tapped his fingers on the dashboard, making some random beat as he waited.

After what seemed like forever, Brooklyn came out with all three girls and helped them into the SUV before getting back in the passenger seat.

"Hi Jon" all three girls chorused, making Brooklyn and Jon laugh.

"Hi guys" he said as he pulled out of park and started driving.

"Are you guys excited" Brooklyn asked as Jon blindly reached over and laced his hand with hers.

"Yup" Vaughn said happily while Murphy nodded and Aurora just looked out the window.

"How about you Rory?"

"I guess" she said, making Brooklyn furrow her eyebrows. If there was someone else besides Brooklyn who really loved Christmas, it was Aurora. She decided to drop it and reached her free hand over to change the radio station.

"Hey, I was listening to that." Brooklyn rolled her eyes.

"It was a commercial and the girls hate country just as much as I do." Jon rolled his eyes behind his ray bans as she searched the stations. Coming across a Christmas one, she decided to leave it as Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer played.

"Do we have to" he groaned, but it was drowned out when the girls started singing loudly.

"Yup. Maybe if you didn't torture me with country every time we drove." Jon smirked and squeezed her hand. When they made it to the mall, Jon parked close to the parking lot so Brooklyn wouldn't have to walk far.

"Okay girls, now you stay with us. No wondering off okay and if you're good, I'll buy Cinnabon." All three girls smiled and nodded as they made their way to the center of the mall and saw the line for Santa was quite big. Jon groaned softly and pushed his hat further down on his head.

"It'll move quick babe" she said, pulling his hand out of his coat pocket to hold. They walked over and stood in line. While Brooklyn was fixing Murphy and Vaughn's hair, Jon looked down at Aurora.

"What's up with you" he asked, noting the bored/sad look on her face.

"I don't want to be in this stupid picture."

"Why not? I thought you loved Christmas just as much as Brooklyn."

"Because Santa isn't real."

"Who said?"

"A kid at my school. He said that he wasn't real and that I shouldn't believe in him and neither should Murphy or Vaughn." Jon shook his head.

"That's not true, Santa is real."

"How do you know?" Jon sighed and looked at Brooklyn who was still fussing with the girls hair. She would probably be better at this but oh well.

"Because I do. Why would your parents lie, have they ever lied to you before?" Aurora thought about it for a minute and shook her head.

"See. This kid was probably just grumpy because he knew Santa was going to give him coal because he was stupid or something." Aurora giggled, making Jon smile.

"Do you believe in Santa Jon?" Jon cleared his throat and nodded.

"Yup. Always envied his beard. Wish I could grow one but I don't think your sister would let me." Aurora giggled again.

"So no more believing Santa isn't real alright. You're a kid still, you're allowed to believe in anything you want. Do you believe he is real?"

"I mean I guess. Last year he got me a baby doll that acted like a real baby but I didn't even put it on my last. I asked my mom and dad but it was to late to add it but he must have been listening because I got it." Jon smiled.

"See he is real. No more listening to punk kids alright." Aurora nodded and they fist bumped before she moved to stand with her sisters and Brooklyn moved back to stand with Jon.

"What was that about" she asked when he wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Some kid at her school told her Santa wasn't real and that she shouldn't believe in him." Brooklyn shook her head.

"Should I talk to her?" Jon shook his head.

"No I handle it." Brooklyn looked up at him and smiled.

"Really?"

"Yup. I told her why would her parents lie its not like they have ever lied before. Then she went on about how she does believe in him because last year she didn't put a doll on her list but she got it anyway." Brooklyn smiled and kissed his cheek, not having to reach much since she was wearing heels.

"You're gonna be a great dad." Jon smiled and kissed her forehead. They waited a little longer in line before it was their turn. Brooklyn payed (when Jon wasn't looking) before the three girls ran over to sit with Santa.

"How old were you when you stopped believing" Jon asked her quietly.

"I was around eleven. Christmas Eve, I had woken up during the middle of the night and went looking for my parents. I found them writing Santa on my gifts and putting them under the tree. I'm happy you talked to her Jon, I wan them to believe in them until they're ready not to. Not because some kid told her other wise."

"It was nothing" he said, blushing a little from the praise. Brooklyn just smiled and leaned into his side. When the girls were done telling "Santa" everything they wanted, they finally took the picture and they could leave.

"I thought you wanted one babe" he said as they started walking around since Brooklyn insisted that Jon look for actual presents for his friends.

"Yea but since you did such a good job with Aurora, I decided we didn't need one. Unless you really want one" she said with a teasing smirk. Jon shook his head.

"No I'm good." Brooklyn smiled. After what seemed like forever, Jon finally picked a store to go into while the girls and Brooklyn sat on a nearby bench. Being almost seven months pregnant with twins and walking around a huge mall was not as fun as people thought it was.

"When are the babies gonna be here Brooklyn?"

"Sometime in early March. Are you guys excited?" All three nodded.

"Yea I gonna dress them up like I dress my dolls" Vaughn said, making Brooklyn smile.

"Oh really?" Vaughn nodded. They sat around a for a few more minutes before Jon came out, some envelopes in his hands.

"What did you get" she asked, when he helped her up.

"They all got gift cards." Brooklyn smiled.

"Good, they'll be a little something extra to give them for the gifts I already ordered that are from us." Jon's eyes widened.

"What?"

"I already bought them all gifts and they were gonna be from us."

"Then why did you insist I go look for some." Brooklyn smiled and could tell he was a little angry. Jon wasn't to big on shopping, especially in the mall.

"Because on Christmas, you're supposed to get your friends gifts and not just paying their tab at some bar. Its gotta be from the heart so they know you put actual thought into it." Jon sighed and looked down at her.

"So what did we get them" he said, emphasizing the we.

"Joe and Gal got a date night set. Comes with wine, a chef to go to their house and cook dinner, and a couple of romantic movies, and candles. Colby got the new Call of Duty game and now they both have some new gift cards."

"What am I going to do with you?"

"Love me unconditionally. Alright girls come on, lets go get some Cinnabon and head home.

"Can we frame the picture we took for mom and dad?" Brooklyn looked down at Aurora and nodded, happy she seemed to be in a much better mood since her talk with Jon.

"Sure. Here, lets stop in here and grab a frame." They took a small detour and picked out a frame before paying. They grabbed their dessert and put the picture together before heading back to her parents.

"Be right back" she said, kissing his cheek before leading the girls inside.

"We're back" she said, walking into the kitchen where her parents were.

"Hey, how was the mall" her dad asked, picking Vaughn up, smiling when the little girl layed her head on his shoulder.

"Crowded. Here, give this to mom and dad." She handed over the clear, glass, picture frame and watched as Murphy walked it over to her mom.

"Oh it came out great guys" she said smiling.

"Where is Jon" her dad asked when he noticed he wasn't right by Brooklyn's side.

"Waiting in the car. We've got to get going, we've got cookies to bake."

"Bake" her father said with a teasing smirk, just laughing at the image of Jon baking.

"Yes bake and don't tease, I know you help mom bake."

"I do not."

"No, then what is with the apron?" Paul looked down and noticed he was still wearing the red apron they had in the kitchen. Stephanie bit her lip to keep from laughing. Brooklyn and Paul going at it was something else.

"Get out" he said, making Brooklyn laugh.

"Fine. Bye girls, we'll see next week." She hugged everyone before going back out to the car.

"So what now" Jon asked as they started the drive home.

"Cookies and movies."

"I don't know how to back."

"Don't worry cowboy, I'll teach you. If your worried about anyone finding out, don't worry, besides if it makes you feel better, my dad helps my mom bake." Jon looked over at, eyes a little wide while a little laugh escaped him.

"Really?" Brooklyn smiled and nodded.

"So you have nothing to worry about." Jon just shook his head and continued driving. When they made it home, he helped his lady out before walking into the house and to the kitchen.

"So what first" he asked, watching her pull all types of bowls and such out.

"We have to get everything ready. Can you grab the cookie sheets from the bottom drawer please." Jon nodded and did as asked as Brooklyn pulled out all the ingredients they would need.

Brooklyn set forth telling Jon exactly what he needed to do.

"No Jon" she giggled as he tried dumping more chocolate chips in.

"What" he asked laughing.

"If we add to many it might make them dense."

"Well what are we supposed to do with the rest?"

"Eat them, I always do." He smirked and poured a lot into his hand before shoving them into his mouth as Brooklyn put the two cookie sheets into the oven and closed the door.

She stepped into to stand between his legs while he sat on top of the counter. She wrapped her arms around his middle and layed her head on his stomach while he ran his hand through her hair.

"You okay baby?" She nodded and looked up at him.

"Yea, just a little tired. Are you having fun?" Jon smiled and pushed some hair out of her face. He knew how hard she was trying to get him into the Christmas mood. As a kid he never really had great Christmas memories and that traveled to his adult hood but he knew that she wanted to make it special.

"I actually am, minus the mall part." Brooklyn smiled and met him half way as he lent down to kiss her. Jon held her as close as possible as she deepened the kiss. They made out in the kitchen until the cookies were done. Placing one last kiss on her lips, Jon hoped off the counter and grabbed an oven mitt before grabbing the two trays out and closing the oven door.

Brooklyn scooped some onto a plate before putting the others on another plate and covering them with a lid.

"Lets go watch movies." Jon nodded and they walked upstairs to their bedroom. Brooklyn grabbed the remote and put it on ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas. She settled against Jon's shoulder and he wrapped an arm around her while they ate cookies. He had to say, this was the most fun he had around Christmas then he could ever remember. This was actually something he wouldn't mind doing again.

Colby took a deep breath before getting out of his rental. He was set to meet Sarah in a few minutes and was more nervous than he had ever been in his entire life. Walking into the small cafe, he didn't see the familiar blonde so he decided to take a seat by the door.

"Can I get you anything sir" a waitress asked when he sat down.

"Oh um, coffee please. Regular with two sugars and two cream." The waitress nodded and walked off to get his order. He tapped his fingers on the table nervously, his eyes keep flickering to the clock that hung by the door. It was five minutes to one, and Colby started feeling a little more nervous.

What if she didn't show up?

What if she changed her mind?

Colby could feel his chest tightening a little and forced himself to breathe. He wondered what it was about this one girl that made him feel this way. Not even with Leighla and Zahara had he felt this way.

He thanked the waitress when she brought his order over. Looking up he saw the big hand reach the twelve while the little hand hit the one. Sighing he looked down and started tracing patterns on the table, not even hearing the door open and footsteps head his way.

"You started without me" a teasing voice sounded above him. Looking up, he saw the familiar blonde standing above him, smiling. He returned it.

"Yea, sorry-" he started but Sarah waved him off.

"No its fine." Colby smiled and she slipped her black pea coat off before sliding into the seat across from him. The waitress came over and took her order before leaving and Sarah turned and gave him a small smile.

"Sorry I was late. My meeting ran a little late." Colby shook his head.

"No don't be sorry. I was early anyway since my hotel is like five minutes away." Sarah furrowed her eyebrows.

"Hotel? I thought you were staying with Brook and Jon."

"I was until after their date last night, I heard them having sex again." Sarah giggled and shook her head as the waitress brought her tea over.

"They're like rabbits aren't they." Colby nodded and sipped his own drink.

"To the extreme." Sarah smiled and pushed a stray piece of hair out of her eyes.

"Any plans for Christmas" she asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Probably go back home to Iowa. See my family, how about you?"

"I wanna try and go back to Texas but I heard there is a lot of snow coming so I'm a little worried. I haven't missed a Christmas since I moved here."

"Why did you move here? I thought once you're in Texas you never want to leave." Sarah laughed, making Colby smile. Her laugh was infectious.

"That's true but when I finished school, I was offered an internship here. The lead lawyer of the law firm I work at is an attorney for WWE so uncle Paul mentioned me, so here I am."

"What made you want to be a lawyer?" Sarah sighed, her eyes dropping a little.

"When I was younger, there was a girl in my class. She was always so nice and would be any one's friend, but her home life wasn't great. Her dad was a drunk and would be abusive. She would come to school sometimes with bruises. Eventually the teacher went to someone and filed a complaint. When the dad found out he snapped and tried to kill himself, her, and the mother but luckily he wasn't successful." She stopped and took a deep breath.

"They arrested him for attempted murder and I begged my parents to take me so I could sit with her through all of it. I wanted to be there for her like she was for everyone else. I remember thinking that the lawyers were so cool and how good they must feel when they win a case and send the bad guys away and helping the people they when I graduated college, I knew what I was going to do." Colby gave her a smile.

"That's so cool Sarah. You're doing something that makes you happy and helps people. Not many people get to do that." Sarah blushed a little and smiled.

"What about you. Why wrestling?"

"I don't know. Ever since I was younger, I would watch all the shows with my dad. I remembered thinking how cool it must be day in and day out to be a wrestler. To get to perform in front of so many people. To some day get as great as Ric Flair, Paul, or your dad. So when I enrolled in wrestling school and college to be a vet. I even worked as a bus boy to pay for wrestling school but it got to much so I stopped actual college and focused on wrestling.

"And now you're a sellout." Colby laughed and Sarah giggled.

"Yup and the best one there is. How did you know they call me that? I thought you haven't really watched in a while." Sarah blushed, making a smirk appear on Colby's face.

"I may have watched some matches on the network." She saw Colby smirk.

"What? I wanted to know who I was going out to coffee with." Colby laughed and shook his head.

"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you, but Seth Rollins and Colby Lopez are two completely different people."

"Good, I don't like Seth Rollins." Colby laughed and she smiled wide.

"And what about Colby Lopez?" Sarah smiled and bit her lip.

"Colby Lopez is nice and funny when he isn't picking on my best friend." Colby laughed, his heart speeding up at her words.

"To be fair, she starts it most of the time." Sarah smiled and shook her head. They made small talk for a few more minutes before the waitress brought their check over. Sarah reached for it to pay her part but Colby snatched it up before she could.

"Nope, today is on me." Sarah shook her head.

"No Colby, I can-."

"Sarah, this is a date, I pay." Sarah smiled and Colby didn't even realize what he said until he said it.

"So this is a date" she asked, biting her lip slightly. Colby shrugged and smirked.

"You said its whatever we want it to be. I think, that I want this to be a date" he said slowly, not believing how one girl could make him so nervous.

"What about you" he asked, a little nervous he might have scared her by saying date but that fear went away when she smiled at him.

"I think I want this to be a date too." Colby smiled and pulled out his wallet and payed the bill before they left.

"Thank you Colby. I had a lot of fun." Colby smiled when they stopped in front of her car.

"Me too. Can I uh call you? I'm here for a couple more days before we leave for Raw." Sarah smiled and nodded. They exchanged numbers before going to their respective cards. Colby waved as she pulled away before starting his own.

"This was a date" he said, a big smile forming on his face as he started back to his hotel.
