Chapter Forty Nine:
Late that same afternoon, Brooklyn woke up and found herself in bed. Rubbing her eyes, she remembered she and Jon had gone to lay down while the twins slept in the nursery. Looking to her left, she saw the other side of the bed was empty. Raising an eyebrow, she stood up and fixed her sweatshirt and sweatpants before going to the nursery. When she walked in, a smile instantly formed on her face.
Jon was standing at the changing table with Amelia while J.J still slept in his crib.
"There we go my little princess, all clean" he said, pulling her pants back up and picking her up to turn to Brooklyn, who must have startled him cause he jumped slightly.
"Hey" he said smiling. Brooklyn smiled and walked in over to them.
"Hey. I didn't even here her cry" she said, running her finger along Amelia's face, smiling at her.
"Well, I woke up and came in when she was just starting to fuss." Brooklyn nodded as J.J started crying. Jon handed her Amelia before walking over to the other crib, bending down to grab him.
"Hey there little man" he said. Feeling his diaper, he felt he needed a diaper change.
"I can change him" she said, but Jon shook her off.
"No I can."
"Okay but make sure to cover his thingy."
"Why?" Brooklyn watched on as he opened the diaper, jumping out of the way just in time to not get shot with pee.
"That's why" she giggled. Jon scowled and quickly changed the little baby before picking him up.
"He didn't do that at the hospital."
"He won't do it all the time. Just if the cold air hits him." Jon nodded as they walked downstairs.
"Are you hungry" she asked, walking into the kitchen.
"Yea I could go for some food." Brooklyn nodded and walked over to the fridge.
She looked through before she started pulling stuff out to make one pot chicken alfredo.
"Here babe, let me take her." Brooklyn nodded and carefully layed her in Jon's free arm. She kissed both baby's heads before going to cook. Jon walked over and sat down on one of the chairs as both baby's looked around.
"We'll give you the grand tour later. But this is our kitchen where mommy makes all these delicious meals. Out there" he said, pointing slightly.
"Is our big backyard and pool where we can play football Jay, or where I can teach you soccer Mia, or I can teach you guys to swim." Brooklyn smiled as she heard him, going on cooking to make it look like she wasn't listening.
Jon continued softly talking to them as she finished lunch. Dishing it up, she placed their dishes on the table before running to the living room and grabbing the bouncy seats and heading back to the kitchen. She took J.J from him and set him in the green one before Jon placed Amelia in the pink one. They buckled them in before Brooklyn and Jon sat down to eat.
The baby's cooed as they sat in their seats, amused by the little toys hanging in front of them.
"They seem happy. Must be your little talk you had with them" she said with a smile.
"You heard that?" Brooklyn nodded as Jon blushed with embarrassment.
"Don't be embarrassed Jon, it was adorable." Jon looked down at his plate, his cheeks still tinted red.
"You weren't supposed to hear that" he said. Brooklyn rolled her eyes as they finished their meal. He took care of the dishes as Brooklyn bent down and picked J.J up before Jon got Amelia and they headed into the living room. They sat on the couch and laid both baby's between them so they were laying right next to each other.
"They do look alike more than I thought" Jon said, now getting a good look as they both laid side by side. Brooklyn nodded.
"I think Amelia is gonna have curly hair" she said, noting how the little hair she did have looked like it was curling at the ends.
"Well at least she got something from me." Brooklyn smiled and looked at J.J.
"And this little one is gonna have straight hair, just like me" she cooed, tickling his little foot.
"How can you tell" Jon asked, looking at the two infants.
"Mia's hair is curling at the ends" she said, pointing to the little flips in her hair.
"And Jay's, is straight as a pin, like mine was as a baby."
Jon nodded before asking another important question. Well to him anyway.
"So when should these six weeks be up?" Brooklyn looked away from the twins to look at him. She rolled her eyes as she laughed a little.
"Why are you so stuck on that? We just had twins and all your thinking about is six weeks."
"Do you realize how long six weeks are Brook? It feels like a lifetime. Jesus, we went one day with no sex and I was ready to shove you against the wall at the arena."
Brooklyn rolled her eyes again as a blush crept up on her cheeks.
"When?"
"Two months ago. November 30th." Brooklyn giggled.
"You remember the day?" Jon nodded, making her shake her head.
"So when should it be up?"
"Well the twins were born January 24th, and giving if the doctor says I'm okay and still healing well, then it should be" she pulled out her phone and opened the calender app.
"It should be March 7th." Jon's eyes widened.
"What?"
"March 7th" she repeated, putting her phone away.
"I'm gonna die" he said dramatically. Brooklyn giggled a little.
"No you won't. We'll be so busy with the baby's, we wont even realize how much we miss it."
"You might not, but I will." Brooklyn rolled her eyes again.
"Didn't I already tell you that I was going to take care of you" she said in a seductive voice. Jon groaned and nodded.
"Alright then, relax about the whole thing."
"Fine, but I want extra special attention."
"We'll see." Jon scowled as her phone started ringing. Taking it back out, she answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey Brook."
"Oh hey Sarah, what's up?"
"Are you, Jon, and the twins home yet?"
Brooklyn looked over at Jon. She covered the phone for a minute to talk to him.
"Can they come over now?"
"Yea. But not to long. They're our baby's, not theirs." Brooklyn smiled and went back to the phone.
"Yea we've been home for a few hours but we just wanted to get settled in first."
"So we can come over now?"
"Yea come on over. The baby's are wide awake."
"Thank god" she heard Colby yell, making her roll her eyes.
"We'll be there in a few Brook."
"Okay, bye." She hung up and placed her phone back in her pocket.
"Are they coming" he asked as he gave each baby a finger to hold on to.
"Yea she said they'd be here in a few. Colby was already with her."
"They're definitely dating" Jon said, getting a nod in response. Not even fifteen minutes later, the front door opened before Jon could stop it.
"We're here- EW!" Colby covered his eyes as soon as he got in the living room. Brooklyn was sitting on the couch, nursing J.J while Jon was holding Amelia who just got done.
"Don't you knock Lopez" Jon asked as he covered Brooklyn with the baby's blanket.
"Why don't you cover yourself when you do that" Sarah asked.
"Because its our house and normal people knock before entering someones house."
"Oh god" Colby said, rubbing his eyes.
"Oh relax, you couldn't even see anything." Colby just shook his head as they moved further in to sit down.
"So what's up" Brooklyn asked. Colby and Sarah looked at each other.
"So at the hospital, we were talking and we are happy to tell you guys, we're dating." Jon and Brooklyn just looked at them.
"Aren't you guys happy" they said, taking in their expressions.
"I mean we expected it, but we are happy for you guys. Extremely happy." Jon nodded in agreement.
"You guys expected it?"
"Yea, since we first introduced you guys. I thought Jon and I had sexual tension when we first met." Jon smirked.
"Okay then. That was easier then I thought" Sarah said as Colby wrapped an arm around her.
"Have you told your dad yet?" Sarah shook her head.
"No, but I took a couple days off and am going with Colby to Chicago for the shows."
"Aw you guys are traveling already" Brooklyn said as she fixed her shirt before burping J.J. Both scowled at her, making her laugh.
"Relax, it was a joke. We're happy for you guys. Wanna know a secret?" Both looked at the two weird.
"What" Colby asked cautiously.
"I'm the one that hid your wallet under the nightstand" Brooklyn said as she covered J.J with his blanket. Colby and Sarah looked wide eyed.
"What?"
"Yea, I hid it. Before I came down after my shower the day you stayed over. That's why I sent Jon down. So he could distract you."
"Why?"
"Because we both wanted you guys to grow up and talk. If I didn't, you wouldn't have come over and it wouldn't have given you guys a chance to talk. So, you're welcome."
Both looked at them shocked.
"You two are conniving."
"We know" Jon said with a proud smirk.
"Oh shut up. You know for a fact if I hadn't done that, you two would still be acting like two awkward middle schoolers around each other."
Both rolled their eyes but they knew she was right.
"And Colby you shouldn't even worry about this. You should be worrying about the talk my dad and uncle are going to give you now."
"Oh, you're gonna love it" Jon said with a smirk as he cradled Amelia to his chest. Colby tensed a little. That was something he was not looking forward to but, he did care about Sarah so if that's what he had to do, he was going to do it.
"If you can do it, I can do it. Now, can we have our godchildren?" Brooklyn nodded as Sarah took Amelia and Colby took J.J.
"Hey little one, are you gonna be mean and conniving like your parents?" Brooklyn and Jon scowled and Colby.
"Watch it sellout. I can kick your ass now." Colby rolled his eyes.
"Are you excited to have them home?" They nodded as Jon sat down and wrapped an arm around Brooklyn as she cuddled to his chest.
"Yea. They already napped in their room and they seemed to like it."
"When can you travel with them?"
"We're not sure. They go back to see Dr. Cramer in a couple days. Just so he can see if they're growing is on track and they're eating enough. Then we should be able to ask. Hopefully its soon. Jon should be back in a month tops." Jon nodded though he wanted it longer. He was off until the baby's were cleared to travel and truth be told, he wanted it to be a wait so they could just stay home and not be bothered with anyone.
"Good, we can get back to kicking each others asses." Jon smirked as he softly ran his fingers up and down Brooklyn's arms.
"And that title will be mine." Colby rolled his eyes as he and Sarah switched babies.
"Yea, okay."
"Watch it Lopez. I could have that title taken away in a heartbeat." Colby scowled as Brooklyn and Jon smirked.
"You wouldn't."
"Watch me."
"Do it, Seth Rollins sucks." Colby looked at Sarah wide eyed as Brooklyn and Jon laughed.
"Excuse me?"
"What? You knew I don't like Seth Rollins. Hey, does that make you Brooklyn's brother since her parents do everything for you."
"I asked him the same thing" she said while laughing again, tears leaking out of her eyes.
"Oh I'm just teasing" Sarah said with a smile. Colby rolled his eyes but couldn't help the smile that formed.
"You're lucky you're cute." Sarah blushed a little and looked down at J.J in her arms.
Colby and Sarah stayed for a little longer before leaving. That night after dinner, Jon sat on the bed with J.J and Amelia while Brooklyn showered.
"Alright guys, we gotta give mommy this" he said, holding up the ring box that had Brooklyn's wedding band in it.
"Now, any ideas?" Both baby's just yawned and lifted their hands.
"Alright, good talk. Lets think." He sat there and thought about it before finally coming up with an idea. When Brooklyn got out of the shower, she felt refreshed and happy to be back home. Hospital's were not her thing. Drying off, she slipped into a pair of shorts and one of Jon's shirts before running the towel through her hair. Brushing it out along with her teeth, she slipped her engagement ring back on before turning all the lights off and walking out to the bedroom.
She smiled when she saw Jon sitting on the bed, the twins between his legs as he talked to them.
"Hey" she said, smiling, getting on the bed next to him, smiling at both baby's.
"Hey. Good shower?" Brooklyn nodded as she gave J.J her finger.
"Much better then the one at the hospital." Jon chuckled.
"We have a surprise for you." Brooklyn smiled at him.
"What?"
"Close your eyes." Brooklyn smiled and closed her eyes. She heard some moving around before she heard Jon again.
"Okay, open them." Brooklyn opened her eyes and saw a small, black, velvet box sitting in the hands of the twins.
"What's this" she said smiling and taking it.
"Open it and see." Brooklyn looked and Jon before looking back at the box and opening it. She smiled when she saw the matching wedding band to her engagement ring. It was a small band that had diamonds going all the way around.
"Aw Jon" she said, looking at him with a big smile.
He smiled back and took the ring from the box.
"Well we're married so I thought you should have it. Can I?" She smiled wider and nodded. He took her left hand before slipping the ring on. It fit perfectly next to her engagement ring.
"I think you get to kiss the bride now" she said teasingly. Jon chuckled and pulled he forward to kiss her softly.
"We have to get you one" she said. Jon smiled.
"I already did" he said, reaching in his sweatpants pocket and pulling out a simple silver wedding band.
"When did you get this?"
"The night of the sleepover when I went out to get the food."
"You bought your own wedding band?" Jon shrugged as she giggled softly. Taking the band from him, she took his left hand before slipping it on his ring finger.
"We're married cowboy." Jon chuckled and pulled her closer to him as they looked at each other lovingly.
"We're married." She smiled and kissed him again.
"Brooklyn Good. It has a nice ring to it." Jon chuckled as she laid her head on his chest.
"So how do we put them to sleep?"
"Rock them. They're nice and full from their dinner so they should go to sleep easily" she said, laying both hands on each baby's stomach.
"I'd be happy to if my dinner came from there" he said, pointing at her enlarged breasts. Brooklyn rolled her eyes as he chuckled.
"Such a man. Come on cowboy." Brooklyn got off the bed and took J.J while Jon took Amelia. They walked into the nursery, Jon sitting down before Brooklyn sat in his lap, each still holding a twin. Jon rocked them back and forth gently. After a few minutes, both twins gave in and fell asleep in their parents arms. Carefully getting up, Brooklyn laid J.J down in his crib while Jon did the same with Amelia. They kissed each baby's head before turning the baby monitor on and walking back to their room.
"I like that I can sleep with you now" he said when they laid in bed. Brooklyn smiled as she laid her head on his chest.
"You could have laid with me at the hospital. I'm actually surprised you didn't." He chuckled as his fingers up and down her back.
"I was tempted but I figured you were tired." Brooklyn smiled and sat up to give him a kiss.
"I think we should get some sleep. We'll probably be backup in a few hours." Jon nodded and gave her one more kiss before she laid back down on his chest.
/*/
A few days later, Sarah found herself landing in Chicago with Colby. She knew her father was going to be at the house show and they decided they would tell him then, that they were dating.
"So how are we doing this" Sarah asked as they walked out to their rental car.
"Doing what?"
"Telling my dad."
"I thought we could tell him and Paul together. Kill two birds with one stone." Sarah nodded as he took her bags from her and put them in the trunk.
"Are you sure you're ready to tell them? I don't want you not to be prepared for the interrogation." Colby chuckled and shut the trunk before wrapping his arms around her.
"I'll be fine sweetheart. If Jon can get through it, then so can I." Sarah smiled up at him as he bent down to kiss her. Sarah sighed softly before kissing back. Colby had just deepened it when Sarah pulled back.
"I think we should head to the arena" she said, catching her breath. Colby, who was also breathing harshly, nodded. He pecked her lips one last time before they got in the car and took off to the arena.
"So has your dad always done this with a guy you were seeing?" Sarah nodded.
"Unfortunately. I was able to keep him away from a guy I was dating a couple years back but that went out the window when he went to the guys work." Colby laughed.
"Really?"
"Oh yea. It was interesting, but I know he is just doing it because he doesn't want to see me hurt. Even though I'm twenty three and have assured him many times I can handle myself." Colby laughed again and reached over to grab a hold of her left hand.
"Your still his baby. I see Paul is the same way with Brooklyn."
"Oh yea. Actually, Paul is a little more over protective then my dad."
"Really?"
"Yea but I think its because Brooklyn has always had a thing for the wrestlers and Paul didn't want to see any of them hurt her. And then after the whole Randy thing, you know." Colby nodded.
"What did you think of him?"
"Well when I found out, she had to physically restrain me from going to kill him." Colby chuckled.
"A little thing like you kill someone?" She playfully glared.
"I'll have you know, I am the perfect height to kick most men's heads off." He chuckled again as he turned down the street for the arena.
"I'll keep that in mind" he said as he pulled into the parking lot for talent. He cut the engine before both got out and grabbed their bags before walking towards the arena.
"Seth!" Sarah smiled as Colby waved to some of the fans. Some were cheering, others were booing. She smiled when she saw him get in character and interact with the fans that were booing.
"They seem to like you" she said when they made it inside.
"What's not to like." She rolled her eyes as they walked into Colby's dressing room. As he was pulling his clothes out for the show, Sarah's phone went off. Pulling it out, she saw it was a text from her dad.
"Dad says he is in Uncle Paul's office. Are you ready?" Colby nodded and grabbed her hand before they made their way out the door. Following the temporary signs, they soon found themselves infront of the marked door.
Giving her hand a reassuring squeeze, Colby raised his hand and knocked.
"Come in." Sarah let go of Colby's hand and opened the door before both walked in. She smiled seeing her godparents and father in there.
"Hey guys" she greeted happily. She hugged each of them as Colby just stood awkwardly by the door.
"Hey baby girl." He looked behind her and noticed the two tone superstar standing there.
"Colby? What are you doing with her?" Sarah looked at her father and smiled before going to stand next to Colby.
"I came with him." Shawn looked confused as Paul and Stephanie smiled.
"Why?" Sarah and Colby shared a look before she reached out and grabbed his hand.
"Dad, Colby and I are dating."
