Chapter Sixty:
Jon drove back to Joe's house. He saw Gal's car was back which meant Brooklyn was there. Getting out, he locked it up before heading inside. When he walked in, he saw Joe and JoJo in the living room.
"Hey man. How did it go?"
"It actually went really good. She reminds me a lot of myself."
"So she is stubborn and thinks she funny?" Joe laughed as Jon rolled his eyes.
"Ha ha, hilarious. Where are the girls?"
"Putting the twins down for their nap."Jon nodded and headed upstairs and to their bedroom. When he walked in, he saw Brooklyn bending over the pack and play while Gal was walking out.
"Hey Jon."
"Hey Gal." Brooklyn looked up and smiled seeing her husband.
"Hey babe" she greeted happily. She covered the twins with their blankets from Colby before standing up to her full height. Jon walked over to her and dropped a simple kiss on her lips.
"Hey. How was Nikki and Brie?"
"Good. Got all their kisses out, poor babies. They both still have lipstick marks on their cheeks." Jon chuckled and shook his head.
"So, how was Lauren? That good" she asked, recalling what he told her on the phone. Jon nodded.
"It went good. We like a lot of the same things. We both love to watch the Bengals, and we both hate the bitch called our mom with a passion." Brooklyn giggled.
"So you guys hit it off." Jon nodded as they sat on the bed.
"Did she answer all the questions you had?" Jon nodded and played with her wedding ring.
"Yea. She said that when she was two and I was four, our parents got into a fight or something and our dad left with her. When he tried to go back and get me, she threatened him with the cops. I guess he was on probation so if the cops were called, he would get in trouble or something."
"But why take one and not the other?"
Jon thought about it for a minute and frowned.
"I don't know. I didn't ask and she didn't say." Brooklyn nodded and saw the look on his face.
"I'm sure she will tell you babe. Are you gonna see her again?" Jon looked up and nodded.
"Yea. She wants to meet you and the babies." Brooklyn smiled.
"I'd love to meet her."
"That's not all she told me."
"What else is there?"
"My uh, my dad is here. In Tampa." Brooklyn's eyes widened. Did his whole family live here?
"W-wow. Did you see him?" Jon shook his head.
"She asked me if I wanted to but I said no. I wanted to wait and get to know her first. I mean, this guy left me with that bitch and if what Lauren said was true, didn't even really put up a fight for me." Brooklyn saw the hesitation on his face. She scooted closer and cupped one of his cheeks in her hand.
"If you want to wait, that is fine. If you want to see him before we leave, that is fine too. I will stand by you no matter what." Jon smiled and leaned into her hand, kissing her palm.
"I know. Thank you. Thank you for being one of the only constant good things in my life." Brooklyn smiled.
"Till death do us part, cowboy." Jon smiled and kissed her softly.
"Speaking of, did you and Gal do any planning?" He mumbled against her lips. Brooklyn pulled away and shook her head.
"No we just got home like ten minutes ago. We were going to after we put the babies to sleep."
"I think that can wait. I wanna spend time with my wife." Brooklyn smiled.
"This wife must be pretty lucky." Jon chuckled.
"Not as lucky as I am to be married to her." Brooklyn smiled but it turned into a giggle as he pushed her so she was laying down on the bed. He laid down next to her, smiling when she cuddled to his chest.
"Did you know the day after we get back home, we get to have sex?"
"Yes I knew that. You're not the only one counting down the days. I'm gonna go look for some new lingerie for the special occasion." Jon groaned and tightened his harm around her waist.
"I promise not to rip it." Brooklyn giggled. They laid in their bed, just enjoying the quiet and watching the babies sleep. Around the half hour mark, they decided to get up and head downstairs. Once they reached the end of the stairs, the walked into the living room.
On the couch, was Joe and JoJo playing WWE 2015. JoJo was playing as Brooklyn and Joe was playing as himself.
"Hey, good character choice Jo." JoJo looked at her aunt quickly and smiled before turning back to the game.
"No one wanted to be me? I'm hurt." Everyone rolled their eyes at Jon.
"Where is Gal" Brooklyn asked.
"In the kitchen waiting for you guys." He turned to them and smiled. JoJo took the brief distraction to plant her dad with Brooklyn's finisher and get the win.
"Ha! I beat you daddy! Now where is my ten dollars?" Jon and Brooklyn busted out laughing.
Joe grumbled and pulled his wallet out before handing a crisp ten dollar bill over to his daughter. JoJo's eyes widened and a big smile crossed her face as she folded it in half.
"Thanks daddy."
"Let this be a lesson to you JoJo, and Joe, gambling is wrong." Jon laughed at his wife while Joe just scowled and JoJo giggled. Jon and Brooklyn turned around and headed into the kitchen as Joe demanded a rematch.
"Sorry for keeping you." Gal waved Brooklyn off as they sat in front of her at the table. She had a huge notebook and a pen sitting in front of her.
"Its fine. Are those two still playing?"
Jon nodded and chuckled.
"Yep and Jo just won ten dollars from your husband."
"He'll never learn." Gal chuckled and shook her head.
"So, what do we have to do?" Jon asked referring to the planning.
"Well we need to figure out date, time, where you guys want it to be, where you guys want the reception. Who the bridesmaids and groomsmen are along with the ring bearer and flower girl. Not just that but flowers, cake, music. Color scheme for all of it." Brooklyn and Jon's eye widened. Neither realizing just how much went into it.
"Wow." Gal laughed at Jon.
"I know. So do you guys have anything so far?"
"Well we thought June third would be a good date and Can't Help Falling in Love would be our first dance." Gal nodded and wrote it down.
"Okay good. That's a good start. Groomsmen and bridesmaids shouldn't be hard, right?" They nodded.
"My bridesmaids would probably be Sarah, Ashley, Noelle, Nikki, Brie, and you." Gal smiled.
"Okay and what about you Jon."
"Probably Joe, Colby, Sami, and Drake."
"That's only four. You'd need two more to make it even." Jon nodded and thought about it for a minute. Two people came to his mind who really weren't his first choice, but, he knew it would mean a lot to Brooklyn if he asked them.
"Okay. Then Nick and Brad." Brooklyn's eyes widened.
"Really?" Jon nodded.
"Yea. I have four of my best friends there and I can't really think of anyone else. Besides, I know you'd like it if they were." Brooklyn gave him a soft smile.
"Jon this isn't about me. They you're groomsmen. You should have the men you want up there with you."
Jon nodded.
"I know and I want them to be. My groomsmen are Joe, Colby, Sami, Drake, Nick, and Brad. Alright maybe not Brad. If I can't find someone else, then Brad." Brooklyn and Gal laughed. Gal wrote it down while Brooklyn lent over and kissed his cheek.
"Okay and best man and maid of honor."
"Yea Jon, who is your best man" Joe asked as he walked in. He was tired of being being beat by a seven year old.
Jon sighed.
"I don't know. You're all my friends, minus Bradley."
"You could always not pick one. Brook, I'm assuming Sarah is your maid of honor." Brooklyn nodded.
"And she will want to be with Colby."
"If he is your best man, you guys can find somewhere else to stay." Joe said teasingly as he sat down next to Gal. Jon laughed.
"I don't know."
"Lets figure out who we want to put with who first. Colby and Sarah." For the next hour, they kept going back and forth on who to put with who.
"Okay well Nick and Nikki can't be together because they have history so maybe we should stick him with Ashley, Brad and Noelle, Nikki and Drake, and Sami and Brie."
"Sounds good to me." Jon nodded in agreement with Brooklyn, both feeling head aches coming on.
"Alright one last thing and we can call it quits. Flower girls and ring bearer."
"Flower girls, my three sisters, and JoJo."
"Oh she will be excited." Gal wrote it down.
"And ring bearer."
"J.J." All three looked at Jon.
"Um Jon, I know these are you first kids, but babies don't usually walk at five months." Jon rolled his eyes.
"I know that. We both want the babies in there somewhere so I thought that the four girls could like wheel Mia and Jay down in like a wagon or something." Brooklyn smiled.
"Babe, that's a great idea! Can we do that?"
"Its your wedding, you guys can do whatever you want. Okay, I think we did good." They all high fived. Jon sat back and wrapped an arm around Brooklyn's shoulder's. They had actually started planning their wedding. He knew they were already married but he was excited for this. He wanted to have the perfect moment with Brooklyn. And he wanted to actually remember this wedding.

"Let me see."
"No." Jon growled at Brooklyn as she dressed the twins.
"Brooklyn Elizabeth, let me see." Brooklyn giggled.
"Jonathan Michael, no." J.J started to wave his arms around.
"Not you Jonathan Michael, your daddy." J.J gurgled as Brooklyn finished dressing Amelia.
"Brook" he whined. She shook her head and moved to change J.J.
"Jon, we're going to be at the beach in less then ten minutes, you can wait." Jon just mumbled tease as he picked their daughter up.
"Mommy is a tease, did you know that Mia?" Brooklyn rolled her eyes at their son.
"Daddy is just impatient" she whispered loudly. Jon reached a hand out and pinched her butt through her jean shorts. She yelped and jumped forward slightly.
"Ow!" Mia and J.J started cooing, making Jon laugh.
"They think its funny." Brooklyn scowled as he laughed. She finished dressing J.J before picking him up.
"Don't you guys look cute" she cooed. Amelia was wearing a little pink Minnie Mouse bathings suit while J.J had on orange swim trunks and a navy blue shirt. Since it was actually nice that day and they had no plans, they all decided to head to the beach.
"At least we get to see what you guys are wearing. Come on babe. You see mine."
"Yours are shorts. You can see mine when we get there." Jon just groaned. She was wearing jean cut off shorts and a cropped Unstable shirt, her bikini underneath it.
"Fine, be that way." Brooklyn smiled as she walked over and carefully bent down to grab sandals.
"I called Lauren. She said she would meet us there." Brooklyn smiled up at him.
"I can't wait to meet her. Have you thought anymore about maybe meeting your dad?" Jon sighed and gently rocked Amelia.
"No. I just want some more answers before I make that decision. I want to know why he never tried to get me? Why he never tried to contact me?" Brooklyn nodded and walked over to him. She lifted up and kissed the corner of his mouth.
"I love you." Jon smiled and kissed her lips.
"I love you too. Ready?" Brooklyn nodded and grabbed their beach bag before they headed downstairs to meet Joe, Gal, and JoJo.
"Bout time. JoJo was ready to leave without you guys." Brooklyn and Jon laughed.
"Sorry. Jon was insisting he see my bathing suit even after being told no ten times." Jon smirked.
"What can I say? I'm persistent."
"But you still didn't get to see it." Brooklyn gave a smirk of her own.
"Yea, yea. Whatever. You guys ready?" They nodded and left. Jon and Brooklyn put the babies in their car before following Joe and Gal.
Not even ten minutes later, they were sitting under a nice shady tree. The babies laid on the beach towel looking around.
"Look at the water babies. Are we gonna go in there?" J.J and Amelia cooed and kicked their feet, making Brooklyn smile as she made sure they were protected by the sun. It wasn't super hot out which was good because the last thing she wanted was to have them out in the heat all day. Hence choosing a very shady spot to sit in.
"They can go in there aunt Brooklyn?" Brooklyn looked up at JoJo.
"Not far but just a little."
Jon walked over to her and stopped in front of her. She looked up, her blue eyes locking on his.
"May I help you?" Jon smirked.
"You said I had to wait until we got here. We're here. Shirt and shorts please." Gal laughed while Brooklyn rolled her eyes.
"Jon we just got here. Can we settle in first?"
"Brook, take them off or I will." Brooklyn looked up at him, knowing there was no use in arguing. He would only keep asking and would likely give her a headache.
Sighing she lifted her shirt over her head and tossed it at Jon, who laughed. She stood up and unbuttoned her shorts before stepping out of them.
Jon's eyes widened behind his ray bans when he saw the black bikini she was wearing. He felt lust shoot through him, blood going down to his member.
"Happy" she said, holding her hands out at her side. A smirk grew on Jon's face, his eyes glazed over with lust as he looked at his wife.
"Oh yea. God if we weren't on a public beach." Brooklyn blushed as Jon pulled her to him. Their lips were just about to meet when the twins started to whine a little. Jon groaned and looked down at the two infants on the blanket.
"Seriously?" Brooklyn smiled and sat back down, picking Amelia up and rubbing his back soothingly as Jon did the same to J.J.
"Its okay beautiful. Mommy's here. Daddy needs to learn you and Jay are in charge now, huh." Mia gave her mother a toothless smile, making her giggle as she kissed her head.
"That's a hard lesson Joe had to learn when JoJo was born. Right honey?" She smirked at Joe who scowled.
"I wasn't even allowed to hug her without JoJo crying. They'll grow out of it."
"When did JoJo?" Jon asked as he moved to sit next to Brook. The babies caught sight of each other and started cooing again. Brooklyn giggled. She knew they knew what they were doing. They were some smart little babies.
"I think around the time she started sleeping through the night so, six months." Jon's eyes widened.
"Six months?"
"Yup. Five more to go." Joe smirked at his best friend. Jon looked down at his babies.
"Please don't do that to daddy. I will buy you guys whatever you want." Everyone laughed.
"Can we go in the water now daddy?" Joe looked at JoJo who was boucning with excitement.
"Alright baby girl. Sun screen first though." JoJo nodded and walked over to Gal who sprayed her and rubbed it in.
"Can you help with the babies?" Jon nodded at Brooklyn. She grabbed the baby sunscreen from the bag and they laid both babies back on the blanket. They rubbed the lotion onto them, getting little smiles when they hit their tickle spots.
"Is someone ticklish?" Brooklyn cooed as she tickled Amelia's foot. The little baby kicked, making her smile.
"Wanna hit the water Jay?" J.J waved his little fists around.
"Well then tell mommy and Mia to come on." Brookly rolled her eyes as they picked the babies up and stood up.
"Ready."
"Yay! Lets go!" JoJo ran off towards the water.
"Joelle!" Joe ran after the little girl as Jon and Brooklyn walked behind them.
"Coming Gal?" Gal shook her head.
"No. I'm gonna get my tan on. You guys go make sure they're not doing anything stupid." Brooklyn and Jon laughed. They walked towards the shore line. The tide rolled in, hitting their feet.
"Its a little cold." Brooklyn frowned. If it was cold for her, it was probably cold for the babies.
"Lets just stay here then. Here." Jon bent down and held J.J so he his feet would hit the water when it rolled in. J.J's eyes widened and he kicked his feet.
"What was that Jay? Water like when you get your bath?" Brooklyn smiled as she watched her boys before bending down and doing the same with Amelia.
"Mia likes it too." Jon looked over at his girls and saw Mia was kicking her feet in the water.
"Farther?" Brooklyn looked over at him.
"If its to cold babe, we'll get out right away." He gave her a reassuring smile. Brooklyn smiled back before they lifted the babies back into their arms and walked out further. They got to the point where the water reached Brooklyn's waist when they stopped. Since Jon was much taller, the water didn't reach him as much.
"Do you like it baby girl?" Mia cuddled to Brooklyn's chest as her feet hit the water again. Jon bent down and made sure he had a good hold on J.J while he put him back in the water.
"What time did Lauren say she was coming?" Jon shrugged as he lifted J.J up and down softly. The little baby gave a toothless grin as Mia just kept kicking the water. It would splash her hands, making her eyes widen.
"I told her we'd be here around one so any time now. Can I ask a favor?"
"Of course. Anything."
"When I ask her why our dad never came back for me, can you be there so I know if its the truth or not. Because if it is, I may take into consideration to see him before we leave." Brooklyn smiled and stood up, walking over to him.
"Of course." Jon smiled and bent down to kiss her lips. They stayed in the water a little longer until they got out so the twins weren't exposed for long.
"How was the water?" Gal smiled at them when they came back and wrapped the twins in their little towels.
"Good. A little chilly. I'm gonna run and grab some waters from the car. You guys want one?" Gal and Brooklyn nodded. Jon handed J.J over to Gal before heading back to their rental.
"So where is JoJo and Joe? We didn't see them down there."
"JoJo convinced Joe to go rent a surf board." Brooklyn laughed.
"Well that should be entertaining."
Gal laughed and tickled J.J's palm.
"You should have seen him when I tried to teach him to surf. It was a disaster."
Brooklyn started laughing just from imagining Joe on a surf board.
"Let me guess, he fell off?"
Gal nodded.
"Yep. More then once. Seriously, he was born and raised here and yet he doesn't know how to surf. Its a crime."
Brooklyn opened her mouth to say something when a familiar voice cut her off.
"What's a crime?" They looked and saw Jon coming back to them. He handed them their waters before sitting down next to Brooklyn and taking J.J back. They laid the babies in front of them, giving each a toy to play with while they talked.
"Gal was telling me about how she tried to teach Joe to surf." Jon laughed as Brooklyn pulled her straight hair up into a high ponytail to keep it from flying in her face thanks to the wind.
"She's right. He is awful at surfing. Colby and I tried to teach him once too."
"When?" Brook asked while Gal laughed, remembering the moment.
"I think it was last year. A few months before we started dating. We were staying with them and Gal told us about how she tried so Colby and I decided to help him out. Long story short, he tried and broke the board in half."
Brooklyn's eyes widened as she started laughing.
"Seriously?"
Jon and Gal nodded.
"Yea. He hurt his back too when he fell. Colby was so pissed." Brooklyn giggled.
"Why?"
"Because it was his board Joe broke." Jon said simply, making Brooklyn laugh harder. Jon smiled as she laughed to the point of tears. God he loved her laugh.
"I wish was there." Gal laughed as Jon used the pad of his thumb to wipe Brooklyn's tears away.
"Well if Jon had grown a pair and asked you out, you would have." Jon rolled his eyes and Brooklyn giggled.
"He was just scared." Jon scowled.
"I wasn't scared." He mumbled, looking down in the sand. Brooklyn smiled and straddled his lap.
"Yes you were but it is adorable that you were." Jon looked at her and smirked. She gave one back before brushing her lips against his. He just started to kiss back when the babies started to whine. Jon groaned and pulled back.
"Its like they have an alarm or something." Brooklyn and Gal laughed. Brooklyn moved off his lap and sat next to him.
"Tell daddy, its just a game." Brooklyn's voice took a higher pitched as she talked in her baby voice and playing with the babies hands, making them gurgle and smile.
"Mommy!" They looked up when Joelle came running towards them.
"What's wrong Jo? Where's daddy?"
"At the surf board place. He told me to come get you. They won't let him get a surf board?" Gal furrowed her eyebrows.
"Why not?"
"They said they remember him from last year when he broke two of them." Brooklyn and Jon laughed as Gal stood up.
"I will be right back." They just laughed as JoJo led her mother off to find Joe.
While they walked off, back in their spot, Jon's phone started to ring. He pulled it out of the beach bag.
"Its Lauren." Brooklyn smiled as he put the phone to his ear.
"Hello?" She heard muttering coming from the other phone.
"We're under a couple trees. We're underneath and the babies are laying on the blanket." She heard more muttering before Jon spoke again.
"Okay, see you guys in a few." He hung up and put his phone back down.
"They on their way?" Jon nodded and gave Mia and Jay his hands to play with. The babies eyes widened as they played with his bigger hand. Mia took to playing with his wedding band while J.J just grabbed onto his fingers.
"Yea she said they just got here." Brooklyn nodded.
A few minutes later, Jon saw the familiar dirty blonde haired woman come into view.
"This is her." He said lowly before standing up with Amelia and waving her over. Brooklyn smiled and grabbed J.J before standing up as well.
Brooklyn smiled as the woman walked over to them. She waved and gave a small smile.
"Hey."
"Hey. Glad you could come."
"Me too. I love the beach." Brook smiled as Jon looked at her.
"Brooklyn, this is Lauren, my sister. Lauren, this is Brooklyn, my wife. Brooklyn balanced J.J in one hand and shook Lauren's with the other.
"Its nice to meet you."
"You as well. You're prettier in person then on the t.v." Brooklyn smiled and thanked her.
"Are these them?" Jon and Brooklyn nodded, moving so she could see their faces. She smiled and awwed.
"They're beautiful. What are their names?"
"J.J and Amelia."
"Jonathan junior?" Jon nodded and Lauren smiled touching each babies hands.
"Hi cuties. Its nice to meet you guys."
"Would you like to hold one?" Lauren looked up at Brooklyn, who just smiled warmly. She could tell she was nervous and wanted to make her comfortable.
"U-um sure." Brooklyn smiled and handed her J.J. Lauren held him in her arms, making sure to support his head.
"Hi there. Wow, he looks just like you Jon."
Jon smiled a little.
"You're not the first person to say that." Lauren laughed softly. J.J looked up at the unfamiliar person and started to fuss a little. Jon noticed and reached over to softly stroke his cheek his finger.
"Hey, hey little man. Its okay. This is your aunt daddy told you about." Lauren was a little shocked when she heard Jon. Technically she was their aunt, but they had only just been reunited. She thought it would take a little longer for them to bond again.
But at the same time, she coulnd't help but smile as she tried not to cry. She not only had her brother back, but now she had a sister in law, and a niece and nephew. It seemed like part of a dream or something.
Brooklyn ntoiced Lauren's eyes shining with un-shead tears.
"Are you okay?" She asked softly, concerned slightly.
Lauren looked at her sister in law and nodded while smiling.
"Yeah. I'm fine. It just doesn't seem real you know." Jon sat down next to Brooklyn as Lauren, who still held J.J, sat on the other side of her.
"What do you mean?" Jon asked confused.
"Finally finding you after all this time. Having you back in my life, having a sister in law, being an aunt. I still think that its some sort of dream and I'll wake up and it'll all be gone." Lauren explained. Brooklyn and Jon both gave her small smiles as J.J and Mia started doing their baby talk.
"Well its completely real and we're not gonna leave. Unless you want us too?" Lauren smiled at her brother and shook her head.
She looked down at her little nephew, who was still talking to his sister.
"Do they do that a lot?"
"All the time. We're gonna figure out what they're saying one of these days." Lauren laughed as she reached a hand out to play with Amelia.
"She looks like you Brooklyn." Brooklyn smiled.
"Thank you." Lauren nodded and looked down at J.J, who now looked more relaxed in his new aunts arms. He lifted his blue eyes up to her, giving her a toothless smile.
"He must really like you. He hardly gives that smile. Only to a few of his favorites."
Jon nodded.
"I barely even get that smile. I just get yelled at everytime I go near Brooklyn. Watch." He leaned over and pressed his lips against her cheek. Like he expected, J.J and Amelia started to coo loudly. Jon pulled away as Lauren laughed.
"See?" Lauren nodded.
"Can we switch?" Brooklyn nodded. Lauren handed Jon J.J before taking Amelia.
"Hello beautiful. You're gonna be beating the boys off you with a stick."
"No she won't." Jon and Brooklyn chorused. Lauren looked at them quizzically. They didn't get a chance to answer when they saw Joe coming back, sulking.
"What's up with you big guy? Where is JoJo and Gal?" Joe huffed and sat down in the sand.
"They're renting surf boards." Jon grinned.
"Oh really? How come you're not with them?" Joe scowled at his friend.
"You know why." Joe practically growled before mumbling asshole under his breath.
"Is he okay?" Lauren asked quietly. Brooklyn just laughed as Jon smirked at his friend.
"Why's that?" He asked, feigning innocence.
"Because the last time we rented boards, I broke them. Remember? That was after I recall you saying 'oh its okay Uce. They won't break. Its easy to surf."
Jon, Brooklyn, and Lauren all laughed.
"To be fair, its easy for me so it should be easy for anyone, and, Colby and I didn't think you would end up breaking a second board. I mean come on, who has that much bad luck."
"Joe, apparently." Joe glared at Brooklyn when he noticed the new addition to the group.
"Who are you?" Lauren laughed.
"Lauren." Joe smiled.
"So you're Jon's sister?" Lauren nodded and bounced Amelia slightly.
"Mind if I see the back of your neck?" Lauren, Jon, and Brooklyn all furrowed their eyebrows.
"What?"
"Just to see if you have the same 666 mark like Jon." Jon rolled his eyes as Joe smirked.
"Ha, funny." The siblings said at the same time. Brooklyn giggled quietly.
"I'm just kidding. Its nice to meet you." Lauren smiled and shook his head.
"Its nice to meet you too. Sorry about the surf boards." Joe shrugged.
"I blame Jon."
"Everyone does." Brooklyn giggled and kissed his shoulder.
They heard giggling and saw JoJo and Gal coming back, a surf board in Gals hands.
"Come on daddy, mommy got one for us." They laughed as Joe shook his head.
"Sorry baby girl, but I don't think I want to anymore." JoJo's face dropped and Gal scowled.
"Leati Joseph Anoa'i, you already told her you would surf with her and I just went through ten minutes of paperwork to ensure that if you broke another board, we would pay it off. Now, lets go."
"Ouch, full name. You better go big man." Jon chuckled at Brooklyn.
"Alright." He mumbled, standing up. He took the board from Gal and grabbed JoJo's hand before leading her down to the water. Gal looked at saw the new addition. She smiled warmly at the girl.
"Hi, you must be Lauren." Lauren nodded and shook her hand.
"My name's Gal, you just met my husband Joe." Lauren smiled and nodded as Amelia started cooing and waving her arms around.
"I did. He is that bad on a surf board?" Gal laughed and nodded.
"You have no idea." Just then then heard JoJo again.
"Mommy, can you come help daddy? He won't get in the water!" Jon and Brooklyn laughed while Gal rolled her eyes.
"Excuse me while I go drown my husband." They just laughed as she headed down towards the water.
"So that's Joe and Gal." Lauren laughed at Jon.
"They seem nice."
"They are." Lauren nodded as Amelia started to whine slightly.
"What's the matter baby girl?" Brooklyn took Amelia while J.J started to fuss.
"They always cry at the same time?" Jon and Brooklyn nodded.
"If one cries, the other usually starts soon after and if I had to bet, they want some mama milk." Brooklyn scrunched her face up.
"Don't call it that." Jon laughed as Brooklyn pulled to two pre-made bottles out of the beach bag. She gave one to Jon before they both put the bottles in the babies mouths, smiling when they happily started sucking the formula.
"So how long are you guys in Tampa for?"
"The end of the week. Then back home."
"Where do you guys live?"
"Hartford. How long have you lived in Tampa?" Brooklyn smiled as the two siblings talked. It seemed like it was easy for them to get into a conversation.
Lauren smiled.
"Couple years. Dad and I moved down here after I graduated school." Jon nodded.
"Speaking of him, can I ask a question?" Lauren nodded and Brooklyn made sure to pay attention to her body language and voice.
"Of course."
"Why didn't he try to take me? I know you said that Kim threatened him with the police but why not try to go to court or anything?" Lauren sighed softly.
"I asked him the same question when I got older. I didn't want to tell you incase it hurt your feelings or made you angry." Jon nodded.
"When we left, dad tried to go back but you know, mom went all psycho and threatened him with the cops so he left. We packed up and moved to Cleveland. It was, it was hard. He couldn't find a decent job because had that police record and who wants a shoplifter working for them? So I guess he made the decision to not go back for you. He knew you weren't better off there but he was scared. He could barely provide for himself and a two year old. He knew mom got assistance and so stupidly thought she would change once he left, but she didn't, did she?"
Jon clenched his jaw and shook his head.
"No, no she didn't. I would go as far as saying she got worse." Brooklyn reached a free hand over and squeezed his. Jon grabbed onto her hand, squeezing back.
"He felt bad Jon, he really did. He kicked himself for years over it. He still does. He was happy to learn you got out of there though." Jon just nodded. He looked at Brooklyn and she gave him a slight nod. She was telling the truth.
"I guess, I understand. Sort of. Did he ever try when I was older?"
"I think he said he tried when you were fourteen but when he went to the house, you weren't there and mom had no clue where you were. Then again, he said she was drunk as a skunk when he went."
"Fourteen?" Lauren nodded and Jon sighed.
"I was staying with my friend Sami. His parents took me in as one of their own." Lauren smiled sadly and nodded.
"Does this change your mind about seeing him?" Jon sighed and took the bottle of his sons mouth to burp him.
"It gives me things to think about." Lauren nodded and dug through her purse for something.
"I went and saw him yesterday. Told him about all of this. He said for you to take your time and that he wanted you to have this." She handed over a small picture. Jon took and looked at it, Brooklyn looking over his shoulder. She smiled realizing it was a baby Jon being held by someone she could only assume was their father. Lauren was right. Jon and his father did look similar.
"T-this is me and him?" Jon swallowed the lump that had formed in his throat. Lauren nodded.
"Yea. He took all the pictures that were in the house when we left. I have more at my apartment if you are interested in seeing them." Jon just nodded as he looked down at the photo. He never had a clear picture of his father, just bits and pieces. Then he had the image he made up in his head to go along with the lies he was fed by their bitch mother.
"You okay cowboy?" Brooklyn asked as she burped Amelia. Jon just nodded and looked up at Lauren.
"I can't promise anything. But I will think about seeing him before we leave." Lauren smiled and nodded.
"Uncle Jon, aunt Brooklyn look!" They all turned their heads when they heard JoJo. They all smiled wide when they saw Joe standing straight up on the surf board.
"He's up!" Brooklyn giggled, which intensified when Joe fell off a second later.
"And he's down." JoJo giggled as the babies cooed.
For the rest of the day, the hung out. Jon was happy to see how fast Lauren and Brooklyn hit it off. He rolled his eyes when Lauren said she would get Brooklyn some make up samples. The last thing she needed was more make up. Around four o'clock, they decided it was time to head out.
"Thank you for inviting me." Lauren said as they all got ready to leave.
"Thanks for coming. Did you have fun?" Lauren nodded as she watched Jon put everything in the trunk of the car while Brooklyn put the babies in.
"Yea. Your friend Joe should really stay away from surf boards." Jon laughed.
"Well after today, he probably will." Lauren laughed, remembering how Joe came back all angry after he fell of the board for the fifth time in a row.
"I'll bet." She heard a car door shut before Brooklyn appeared next to Jon.
"What are we betting?"
"That Joe won't touch a surf board again." Jon answered, wrapping an arm around her shoulder's. Brooklyn giggled.
"That was the best thing I have ever watched in my life." Jon and Lauren laughed. Jon kissed his wife's head, making her and his sister smile. She was happy to see he had found a happy place in his life after everything she assumed he went through.
"Did you have fun today Lauren?" Lauren nodded at her sister in law.
"I did. Thank you for letting me meet the babies too. They're beautiful."
"You're their aunt. You deserve to know them."
"Besides, you haven't given us a reason to think your insane like mom." Lauren laughed as Brooklyn shook her head.
"I'll be happy to tell you guys I am nothing like her." Brooklyn smiled while Jon just nodded.
"So um before we go, have you thought about dad at all?" Jon sighed.
"Yea. I want to meet him but I hate him for leaving me there. I think I need some time." Lauren nodded in understanding.
"I understand." Jon nodded.
"Thanks." Lauren nodded and hugged them both.
"It was nice meeting you Lauren." Lauren smiled.
"It was nice meeting you too Brooklyn. Bye Jon."
"Bye Lauren." She waved before walking off to her car. Brooklyn turned to Jon, wrapping her arms around his middle.
"What?" Brooklyn shook her head.
"Jus proud of you is all."
"Proud of me for what?"
"Giving her a shot, having an opened mind. It takes a big man to do that Jon. I'm proud of you and I'm proud you are taking some serious time to think about meeting your dad instead of letting anger rule you decision."
Jon pushed some hair out of her face.
"Well without you by my side, I doubt I would have been able to do any of this. You keep me calm baby and I can never thank you enough for everything you have brought into my life." Brooklyn smiled and lent up to kiss him.
"Anything for you cowboy. Come on, I think the babies are tired. They're holding onto Colby's blankets for dear life." Jon laughed. They shared one last kiss before getting in the car and heading back to the house.

Colby started to slowly stir from a great nights sleep. Using one hand, he wiped the tiredness from his eyes as he started to slowly open them.
Blinking a few times, he finally woke up with a smile on his face. He looked to his left, his smiling widening when his brown eyes settled on his sleeping girlfriend.
Sarah was in a peaceful slumber beside him, her head resting on his bare chest, pieces of her blonde hair spread across her face.
Using his hand, he moved the stray pieces from her face, smiling when her face scrunched up before relaxing. He couldn't take his eyes off her sleeping was something about having Sarah next to him that gave him a grest nights sleep.
The past few days on the road were hectic and he barely got enough sleep before he had to get up and travel to the next town. He was used to it since it was the life of a WWE superstar. Ususally he didn't mind but ever since he started dating Sarah, his perspective changed. He'd usually spend his days off at his house in Davenport with Kevin. Only going out when he would go to Crossfit, or to lead his training sessions at his wrestling academy, Black and Brave Academy. He was basically a recluse until it was time for him to hit the road again.
But since they had started dating, he spent most of his free time in Hartford. He would fly in, Sarah would pick him up and take them to her apartment and they'd spend his two precious days off simply spending time together. He didn't care what they did just as long as he had time with her. He missed her fiercly when he had to head back on the road. He missed the simple things like just being near her, and seeing her smile and hearing her laugh. Facetime and Skype had become their bestfriends when they weren't together.
Colby continued to gaze at his girlfriend as he continued to think. He still couldn't believe how lucky he was to have Sarah.
Sarah let out a content sigh as she moved before going right back to sleep. The covers that were around her, rode down slightly exposing her bare top half.
A smirk formed on Colby's face as his eyes raked over her, recalling the events from last night. After their talk at dinner, they finished eating before they pulled each other to Sarah's bedroom. As soon as the doors was closed, their clothes flew off and they showes each other just how much they'd missed each other. It continued throughout the night and they both finally fell asleep around one in the morning.
The longer Colby stared at her, the more he felt himself getting hard. A sudden idea hit him, making him smirk. He started to slowly pull the blankets off of them when scratching on the door and unified barking started.
He groaned and looked up at Sarah, noticing she was still sleeping. He tried to carry on with his plan when the barking got louder. Sarah started to stir and Colby groaned again. Leave it to two little dogs to ruin his plan.
"Morning." She greeted sleepily.
Colby smiled softly despite being annoyed he was interrupted.
"Morning sweetheart. Sleep good?" Sarah nodded and blushed when she realized the blankets were hanging low. She pulled them back up, making Colby laugh.
"Don't be shy babe. That's a great view to wake up to in the morning." Sarah's blushed intensified and she whacked him in his bare chest. Colby laughed as Thor and Kevin kept barking.
"Should probably let them in." Colby sighed but nodded. Reaching over the nightstand, he opened the door and they both smiled when the little dogs ran in and sat by the bed.
Sarah chuckled as she sat up slightly, holding the blankets to her body.
"Morning guys." She greeted cheerfully.
Kevin and Thor barked as they looked towards their owners.
Colby sat up exposing all of his toned upper body, running a hand through his messy two tones hair before looking at the two canines that were sitting on the floor close to his side of the bed.
"Seriously guys? Do we have to have the talk again?" Sarah furrowed her eyebrows.
"Talk?"
"About them cock blocking me."
Sarah smiled and shook her head.
"You would." Colby chuckled.
"Can you blame me? Yesterday they did and just now they did. I was gonna wake you up special but no, they had to start barking." Sarah smirked and moved closer to him, running her fingers up and down his chest.
"There is always the shower." She bit her lower lip, making Colby groan and wrap an arm around her chest.
"Now you're talking. You don't have any plans for today do you?" Sarah shook her head.
"No why?"
"Well before I got here, I did some research and there is a fair here today. I thought we could go. If you want that is." Sarah smiled.
"I would love too." Colby smiled and kissed her forehead. They hung out in bed all day, only getting up to get food.
"Sarah!" Colby laughed as she threw a noodle at him from their chicken low mein she had ordered for a late lunch.
Sarah giggled.
"You did it to me."
"I told you it was an accident. Now I have soy sauce on my chest." Sarah smirked and moved so she was kneeling next to him. She bent down and slowly licked the sauce off, making Colby groan and he softened member wake up.
"There, all clean." She murmered as she got back up, She let out a surprised squeak when Colby pulled her in for a passionate kiss. Sarah immediately kissed back, opening her mouth so their tongues could play.
Thor and Kevin started barking again, making them pull away.
"Shower now?" Colby nodded. Sarah looked down at the two dogs.
"Kevin, Thor, go lay down for mommy and daddy." Colby watched amazed as both dogs ran out of the room.
"You've got to tell me how you do that." Sarah giggled. Colby stood up and lifted her up before walking into her bathroom. Sarah started the shower and checked the tempertature before they both got in. She let out a content sigh as the hot water ran over her. She smiled to herself when she felt Colby's hands place themselves on her hips and attack her neck.
She let out a low moan when he hit her sweet spot.
"Colby." She moaned softly. Colby groaned. He would never tire of her moaning his name. While he worked on her neck, he moved a hand down from her hip and between her legs. He started to rub her sensative bundle of nerves.
Sarah's back arched against him as she felt herself get wetter and wetter by the minute. Between his fingers and his lips, she was going to let loose any minute.
"Colby, I need you." She let out a high pitched moan after as he slowly eased two fingers into her.
"Fuck!" Colby smirked as he pulled his fingers out of her, seeing her juices coating his fingers.
"You're so wet baby." Sarah moaned at his voice as he licked his fingers. She couldn't take it anymore. She needed him inside of her. She turned around and pushed him against the wall, attacking his mouth with hers.
Colby spun them around so her back was up against the shower wall. He picked her up by her thighs so her legs went around his waist.
"Ready?"
"Have been since we got in."
"Wait, wait, do I need a condom?" Sarah shook her head.
"I'm on the pill. Took it at breakfast." Colby nodded before manually guiding himself into her. Sarah's head fell against the shower as she let out a loud moan. Colby groaned as he bottomed out. He slowly pulled out before thrusting back in.
Sarah moaned and tightened her arms around his neck. Colby leaned up and pressed their lisp together as their hips moves in sync.
"You feel so good Sarah. So fucking perfect." Sarah blushed, letting out another moan when he moved his lips down to one of her peak nipples.
"Fuck Colby. Faster." Colby obliged. The shower was filled with moans and the sound of skin slapping together.
"Are you gonna cum baby? You gonna cum for me?" He rasped to her. Sarah moaned and nodded. She loved his voice but when he talked dirty to her, she lost it everytime.
A few more thrusts and Sarah threw her head back, Colby's name escaping her mouth in a scream. She screwed her eyes shut as stars burts behind them. Colby thrusted a few more times before he came inside of her. His head fell forward, laying on her heaving chest as their hips rode through their orgasms.
When they calmed down, Colby lifted his head to look at her.
"That was-."
"Incredible." She breathed out, her chest still heaving as she caught her breath. Colby smiled and kissed her lips gently before pulling out of her.
They showered together and got out to start getting ready for their date.
"Do you know if its supposed to be cold?" Sarah shrugged and checked her phone.
"It says it should be around sixty five."
Colby nodded.
"I bet Jon and Brook are enjoying the heat." Sarah smiled as she looked through her closet.
"I know they are. Brook sent me a picture of the babies in the bathing suits that I bought for them." Colby smiled as they worked around each other to get ready. After Sarah pulled her clothes on, she headed into the bathroom to do her hair and make up. She curled her hair and put it in a simple bun.
"Ugh, my eyes." She started rubbing them, seeing they were getting a little red. Her allergies were acting up again.
"Hey, which shirt should I, are you okay?" He asked concerned. Sarah nodded and pulled her hand away. Colby saw her eyes were looking red.
"Why are you eyes red?"
"I think my allergies are acting up again. Can you go grab my glasses from the nighstand please. Oh, and that shirt." Colby chuckled and nodded. He slipped his shirt on before walking over to the nightstand and grabbing her thin, black framed glasses. Heading back to the bathroom door, he saw she was putting eyedrops in her eyes.
"Here babe." She blinked and looked at him.
"Thank you." She said gratefully. She placed the glasses on her face, letting her eyes adjust to the clearity.
"You sure you okay?" Sarah nodded.
"Yea but I'm not putting make up on. I don't want to ruin it by rubbing my eyes all night." Colby smiled softly at her.
"I like you without it anyway." Sarah smiled and passed him to head to the closet and grab her shoes. She was wearing light skinny jeans, a blood red long sleeved shirt, her black leather jacket and she decided on her Converse to complete the look.
"Well thank you. Are you ready?"
"Yea if you are." Sarah smiled and nodded. She grabbed her purse and phone while Colby just grabbed his wallet and her car keys. They made sure the dogs had fresh food and water before leaving.
Since Colby was still getting used to Hartford, Sarah opted to drive them.
"I'm surprised you didn't put up a fight to drive." Colby looked at her weird as they started the drive.
"Why?"
"Brook told me about how you would put up a fight when she wanted to drive to the arenas."
"That is because her and Jon drive the same. They both talk with their hands and when they take them off the wheel, its scary." Sarah giggled.
"Aunt Stephanie does the same thing. Uncle Paul used to take pillows with them to use as protection when he was teaching Brook how to drive."
Colby laughed and shook his head. Soon they pulled up to the fair grounds. After finding a place to park they got out. Sarah made sure to lock her car. Colby walked over and interlocked their hands, making her smile. He led them over to the booth where you paid to get in and get tickets.
"So what first?" Colby shrugged as they walked around.
They came across the milk bottle game.
"Allow me to win my woman a prize." Sarah laughed at his posh tone.
"Of course good sir." Colby chuckled and gave the man behind the booth a ticket before getting three baseballs. Sarah smiled as she watched. Not to her surprise, he got it on the first try.
Colby pointed to what he wanted before turning to Sarah.
"For you m'lady." He handed her the Minion toy he had picked as his prize.
"I love it. Thank you." She kissed his cheek, getting her a smile in return.
"Anything for my girl. Lets go play some more." Sarah nodded as they continued walking around, playing different games here and there.
They ended up making a deal when they got to the game where you had to spray water into the clowns mouth to fill up the balloon.
"So what's the bet?"
"If I win, you get to make me dessert tonight with nothing on." Sarah blushed.
"Okay. When I win, you have to make me breakfast in bed tomorrow, also wearing nothing." Colby smirked.
"Deal." They sealed the deal with a kiss before paying for their game. They were each given five balls.
Colby threw his first one, sighing when it bounced off the bowl and landed on the ground. He heard a curse next to him, telling him Sarah was successful either.
"Missed did you hot shot?" Sarah rolled her eyes.
"Shut u. You're gonna cry when I win." Colby just smirked. They were both down to their last balls.
"Alright last chance. I can't wait to see you make me a cake naked." A mom next to them galred at Colby before ushering her kids away. Sarah laughed.
"Good job." Colby shook his head.
"You go first." Sarah nodded and turned to line up her shot. She lightly shot the ball, smiling when is successfully landed in the bowl.
"Ha! I win!" Colby shook his head as the mad handed her the fishbowl.
"Not so fast. I could still make it." Sarah just smirked as he lined his shot up and threw the ball. To both their surprise, Colby's ball landed in the bowl.
"What?" Colby laughed and accepted his fish.
"Guess we're tied. Tie breaker?"
"Or we could just do both for each other." Colby smiled.
"I like it. Deal. So, wanna hit the ferris wheel before we leave?" Sarah smiled and nodded. They walked over and paid before getting into their seats.
When the ride started, Sarah leaned over to rest her head against Colby's shoulder. Colby kissed her head and watched as they got higher. They ended up stopping at the very top and Sarah smiled at the view.
"Its beautiful." Colby nodded.
"So are you." Sarah chuckled and sat up.
"Charmer." Colby smiled and kissed her lips lightly. When he pulled away, he found himself letting words slip out before he could think about them.
"I love you."
