Chapter Sixty Two:
"Do you have to?" Colby laughed at his girlfriend. She was laying in bed, Thor next to her, pouting.
"Yes I have to. Trust me babe, if I could, I'd stay here." Sarah sighed. It was Sunday morning and Colby was getting ready to catch a plane to head to Austin, Texas for Raw.
"Then do it." Colby chuckled and continued folding his clothes.
"I wish I could sweetheart." Sarah whined playfully, so did Thor. Coly smiled and shook his head.
"Could you two be more dramatic?"
"Yes." He chuckled and placed his last shirt in his bag before zipping it up. Placing it on the ground, he crawled onto bed and pulled Sarah to him.
"Its only for a couple days babe. Then I'll be back."
"A couple days? A couple is two. You're going to be gone for five days, then back here Saturday only to leave again Sunday. Why do I remember your schedule and you don't?" Colby rolled his eyes and pinched her side, making her laugh.
They sat in silence for a few minutes when an idea popped into Colby's head.
"Come with me." Sarah furrowed her eyebrows.
"What?" She looked up at him, and he smiled down at her.
"Come with me. Its not like you haven't before."
"No I know. I'd love to but what about work? I used my vacation days when I went with you before." Colby nodded and thought about it for another minute.
"Tell them you're going on the road to familiarize yourself with the roster since its been so long. You want to make sure you know everyone before you start."
"And what about Thor. I don't wanna leave him alone for five days."
"You could always see if Linda would take him? Or he could come with us."
"They allow dogs backstage?"
"Brook brought Moxley a lot. He's potty trained and pretty quiet so we should be good. Right buddy." Thor panted, making Colby smile.
"See. He'll be good." Sarah smiled.
"I don't know." Colby smirked and started tickling her.
"Colby! Stop!"
"Not until you agree to come with me." He laughed. Sarah giggled wildy, trying to dislodge his fingers.
"Do you submit?"
"Never." Colby shrugged and tickled her more. Not being able to take much more and making her decision, she submitted.
"Okay, okay! I'll go!" Colby smiled and stopped tickling her, to pull her in for a hug.
"I knew you'd see it my way." Sarah rolled her eyes, a smile on her face.
"Jerk. Now my stomach hurts." Colby laughed.
"I'm sorry. Want me to kiss it better?"
"No." She pouted, pinching his stomach.
"Ow!"
"There, now we're even." Colby scowled and rubbed his stomach.
"Shouldn't you call your boss." Sarah nodded and grabbed her I-Phone 6 from the nightstand. Dialing the number, she held it to her ear.
Colby sat back and watched silently as she talked to her boss.
"Absolutely Mr. Greene. I will take my files with me and email you. Of course. You too, bye." She hung up and smiled.
"Okay, we're good." Colby smiled and kissed her softly.
"Should we call about my ticket?"
Colby shook his head.
"Since Brook, Jon, and the twins are leaving too, they're flying with Paul and Stephanie and they asked me to go too. I'm sure they won't mind one more. I'll call them and ask while you pack."
"What should I take?" Colby shrugged.
"I don't know. We go from Austin for Raw to Dallas for Smackdown. Then we fly out of there to head to Los Angeles for a couple shows."
"That doesn't answer what I should pack? Do we know what its supposed to be like? Rainy, sunny, really hot?" Colby shook his head.
"I don't know." Sarah groaned.
"How am I supposed to pack if I have no clue what to bring?" Colby sensed a little panic. Maybe he should have asked her sooner so she wouldn't have to rush.
"Why don't I call Brook and have her come help you." Sarah nodded and Colby grabbed his phone and called Brooklyn.
"Why are you calling my wife, Lopez?"
Colby rolled his eyes when his best friend answered.
"What are you doing answering your wife's phone, Good?"
"She's feeding the twins so her hands are full."
"Well can you put me on speaker. I have a favor to ask." He heard ruffling around before he heard Jon again.
"Go ahead."
"Hey Brook, I have a favor to ask."
"Sure, what's up sell out?"
Colby rolled his eyes as Sarah giggled.
"Sarah agreed to travel with me for the week to get a taste of what its like and she is freaking out about what to pack. I was hoping you could come over and help her."
"Yea, sure. I have to finish feeding the babies and we need to pack a few more things so it might be like forty five minutes."
"That's alright. And your parents, they gonna care if they have one more guest?"
"Colby, Sarah is like their fifth daughter, I doubt they will care. Just text dad and ask."
"Alright. We'll see you guys in a bit."
"Okay, bye."
Both hung up.
"See, Brook will be over and she'll help you pack." Sarah smiled.
Sure enough, forty five minutes later, Brook, Jon, the twins, and Moxley had all come over. Moxley and Thor immediately ran for each other, jumping on each other, making their owners laugh.
"So, hear you need some help." Brook smiled when she set J.J's car seat down, Jon setting Amelia next to him, both sound asleep thanks to the ride over.
"Yea. I don't know what to bring. Do you know what its supposed to be like?"
"Texas, warm and sunny, L.A, cloudy and rainy the whole time. Lets go look through your closet." The men shook their heads and watched as their girls walked back to the bedroom.
"You excited about going back?" Jon shrugged as they sat down on the couch.
"I guess. Wish I had a little longer to be home with them. Having to go show to show, interviews, signings. I liked being home and having a break."
"Having one month old twins is a break?"
"Have you met my kids? They are the easiest babies I have ever met in my life."
"God its still so weird to hear you say 'my kids.'"
"You're telling me. I still can't believe it when I wake up every morning. But, then I see their smiles and get pissed on by J.J and its all real." Colby laughed.
"And everyone thought I'd be the second one to get married and have kids out of us three." Jon chuckled and fixed the babies blankets.
"Have you ever thought about it?" Colby shrugged.
"I mean, I count Kevin and Thor as my kids." Jon rolled his eyes.
"I mean real kids." He shrugged again.
"I guess I never thought about it before. I was always to focused on wrestling."
"But," Jon pushed, sensing more.
"But, since Sarah and I started dating, I've thought about it more. Seeing you with Brook and the twins, got me thinking. I want something like you have in the future."
"With Sarah?" Colby nodded.
"With Sarah."
/*/
"I'm so happy you're coming with." Brooklyn said as they folded Sarah's clothes. Sarah smiled as she folded one of her sundresses.
"Me too. Gives me a feel of what its gonna be like." Brooklyn nodded.
"Well if you ever want to see what its like having babies, you can borrow ours." Sarah laughed and shook her head.
"I'm okay. Besides, you guys seem pretty attached to leave them with someone all night." Brooklyn nodded.
"I would go mad." Sarah smiled.
"I still can't believe your twenty three and have twins and a husband." Brooklyn smiled brightly.
"Me too but I wouldn't change it for the world. What about you, see kids in the near future?" Sarah sighed.
"Honestly?" Brook nodded.
"I only ever really thought about stuff like that with Matt. I mean I know we were sixteen but I really thought we would be together forever." Brooklyn gave a sad smile, reaching over to give her hand a comforting squeeze.
"But," she started, "Colby makes me feel things I haven't felt since Matt. Stuff I didn't think I'd ever feel again. I'm starting to like the idea of someday having kids with Colby." Brooklyn smiled.
"I think you guys are made for each other."
"Really?"
"Definitely. If he can make you this happy and no one else has been able to, he is definitely the one." Sarah smiled.
"Speaking of Matt, have you told Colby you practically engaged to him?" Sarah shook her head. Although her and Matt were young, they were serious. He first brought up marrige when they were near their one year anniversary. They knew they would regret if they got married to young so they both made the decision to wait to be engaged until after they graduated high school and then marry after they finished with college.
"No, I didn't think it was needed. We never were really engaged anyway, just something we talked about."
"A lot." Brooklyn added, getting a nod in response.
"Should I tell him?" Brook shrugged, folding the last shirt.
"If you want. You have a point, you never really were engaged. Its up to you and I'll be there with you if you want." Sarah smiled and the two best friends hugged.
"Are you guys almost ready? Plane leaves in an hour."
"Yea, hold on." They finished packing and made sure she had everything before heading back out to the living room. Brooklyn giggled when Jon picked her up and swung her around while Sarah stood by Colby and smiled.
"All set?" Sarah smiled and nodded.
"You guys ready." Brooklyn asked, her legs now around Jon's waist as he held her up.
"Yea. Lets hit the road." They all chuckled. Brooklyn pecked Jon's lips before he set her down. They grabbed the still sleeping twins and Moxley, while Colby grabbed his bags and some of Sarah's while she took the rest and Thor.
Thirty minutes later, they were all sitting comfortably on the WWE's private plane.
"Ah, grandma missed you guys!" Stephanie cooed as she kissed all over Amelia's face, the little girl gurgling.
"Did the doctor tell you how to help them on the plane." Her father asked, bouncing J.J slightly, making him smile. Brooklyn nodded from her seat on Jon's lap.
"She said to keep their binkies in their mouths during take off and landing. It should help with their ears and hopefully, make it smooth for them."
"You're a tough guy right Jay? You're gonna do fine." Brooklyn smiled. Soon it was time to take off and despite what the doctor said, the binkies did nothing to stop the babies from crying when their ears popped.
"Shh babies, its okay. You don't need to worry about that for six more hours." Brooklyn cooed as she rubbed J.J's back soothingly, Jon doing the same to Amelia.
"Six hours?" Sarah asked wide eyed.
"Yea. Sit back and relax kid, its a long flight." Sarah rolled her eyes at her godfather.
"What's wrong with a six hour flight?" Colby asked, wrapping his arm around her shoulder's.
"Colby, I know you haven't know Sarah long, but her and Brooklyn can't sit still for more then an hour before they start getting antsy."
Brooklyn and Sarah rolled their eyes.
"I'll have you know, father, I sat still for two hours last week while me and Jon watched a movie." Jon looked at her like she was crazy.
"Brook, you moved every five minutes." Brooklyn scowled at Jon.
"Shh." She playfully hissed. Jon chuckled and shook his head.
"See." Paul smirked, making her roll her eyes again.
"Its your fault. I'm like you."
"Oh no, you're your mothers daughter."
"And what is that supposed to mean." Stephanie raised an eyebrow at her husband. Sarah, Colby, Jon, and Brooklyn started laughing quietly at the look on his face.
"It uh, means nothing honey. Promise. I love you." He leaned over to kiss her but she turned her head, making the other four laugh.
"Someone's in trouble." Jon sang, making Brooklyn giggle. Paul looked at his son in law, a scowl firmly on his face.
"Keep it up Jon and I'll make sure to double your media commitments."
Brooklyn scowled and was about to jump in and defend Jon, but she stopped when he whispered something in her ear. Jon paused to look at Paul, whos suspicion was growing. He continued to whisper before finishing. Brooklyn grinned and nodded as Jon sat back confidently.
"Fine, do it Paul. But me and Brook can easily make you a grandfather again." Jon threatened with his signature, dimple popping, smirk.
Colby, Sarah, Stephanie, and Brooklyn all laughed at the expression on Paul's face. His mouth was open in shock and his eyes were so wide they almost burst out of his head.
Everyone remembered his reaction the first time he found out Brook was pregnant. It was quite comical. All he kept saying was that he was to young to be a grandfather, and who could forget his reaction when he found out they were twins. He ran around trying to find alcohol. They could all imagine his reaction if he found out he'd have another grandchild or grandchildren so soon after the twins. He'd probably tear his remaining hair out.
"You wouldn't dare." He challenged, though he saw the serious look in both his daughter's and Jon's eyes. Jon continued to smirk as Brook spoke.
"Just think, twins run in the family now. Imagine if we had another set. Four grandkids before you're fifty. Ouch." Her and Jon shared a matching smirk,
"Game, set, match." Colby chuckled, making Sarah giggle.
"Who knew they could be so mean?" She teased, resting her head on Colby's shoulder.
"You're surprised? This is nothing. They once had sex in Nick's locker room as part of prank week." Colby added, shuddering not wanting to that mental image.
Brooklyn looked over at them.
"Hey! I heard that sell out. In our defense, Nick started it."
"Nick always starts it. Remember when dad was still on the road and they were doing DX. When we came to visit, Nick thought it would be funny to break into my hotel room and dye part of my hair purple." Sarah scowled as she spoke about the memory.
Colby and Jon's eyes widened in shock.
"Seriously, what is with Nick and dying people's hair purple?" Jon shook his head.
"Who know but Sarah got him back. And if you think I'm evil, you haven't seen what she can do." Brooklyn giggled. Paul shook his head.
"They're like evil masterminds."
"Its not evil to switch his cheerleading outfit for a female one and replace all his clothes with women's underwear while he's in the shower. Besides, don't act all innocent Brook, you helped." Brooklyn gave a proud smirk, making Jon laugh as he gave Mia his finger to hold on to, happy both she and J.J were happier now.
"Anyway, back to the grandchildren. Make Jon do extra media, you have three more before your fifty." Paul scowled at his daughter.
"Fine." He grumbled, making her smile. Stephanie shook her head.
"God you two. Are you ever going to learn not to antangonize her?" Both rolled their eyes at Stephanie.
"They do this a lot?" Colby questioned. Jon, Sarah, and Stephanie all huffed.
"Pretty much everytime they see each other. Isn't that right?" Both rolled their eyes again.
"Someone's gotta be the fun parent." Paul defended himself.
"Well as I remember it, being the fun parent almost got your daughter arrested." Brooklyn started lauging at the memory.
"What?" Jon, Sarah, and Colby all chorused, shocked. Paul started laughing too.
"Oh yea." Stephanie hummed.
"You almost got arrested, darlin?" Brooklyn nodded, fixing J.J as he clung onto her shirt.
"When?"
"I was eighteen. The guy I was seeing cheated on me so dad convinced me to go with him and toilet paper his house.
"And they got caught and the guy called the cops." Stephanie added, crossing her arms over her chest.
"It turns out that they were huge fans of dad and uncle Shawn, so dad made them a deal." Brooklyn recalled. All eyes turned to Paul as he continued to chuckle at the memory.
"What was the deal?"
"For ringside tickets, two photos and autographs from me and Shawn, they'd let us go with just a warning."
"I remember that. When I got home from my trip I saw dad signing them. I thought it was strange." Sarah added.
Brook fixed J.J again and stroked his hand as she looked at her best friend.
"You could have come too if you didn't go to Rome."
"Be glad you didn't got Sarah. That's what happens when you're with a juvenile parent and go along with his stupid pranks."
"Hey! Papering the house was better than me sending him to the hospital and him needing his meals in liquid form because I knocked all his teeth out." Paul said, shrugging.
"I can't believe you almost got arrested." Jon said, still surprised. Brooklyn smiled at him.
"Surprise!" Jon smirked.
"Kind of hot if you think about it." Brooklyn giggled while everyone else rolled their eyes.
"Seriously, do you guys ever stop? I hope to God that we don't have the room next to theirs. Actually scrap that. I hope we're on a different floor."
Brooklyn and Jon glared at the architect who was now cuddling Sarah closer to him and stroking the loose hair from her side braid.
"Shut up sellout." They shot back, speaking at the same time. They looked at each and smiled before Jon continued, an evil idea popping in his head.
"Maybe instead of focusing on us, you should start working on a mini ninja family of your own." Colby's eyes widened in shock as he glared at Jon. Trust the him to blab part of their conversation, a conversation that he hadn't even had with his girlfriend yet.
Sarah did a sit up that would've made her uncle Mark proud, her eyes bulging as her cheeks reddened.
Everyone laughed at their reactions. Especially since Sarah almost fell from her seat to the floor. Colby and Sarah looked at each oher clearly embarrassed, while Jon sat there looking smug with satisfaction. Maybe now they would lay off him and Brook.
"You'd make very cute kids." Stephanie smiled wide.
"Not as cute as mine. And as long as they don't act like Colby, then we'd be good." Brooklyn chipped in with a smirk.
Colby and Sarah were both completely speechless. They hoped that they wouldn't continue talking about this particular topic.
"If you thought my reaction to being a grandfather was bad, imagine Shawn's reaction. You saw him when Rebecca told him that she was pregnant with Cheyenne and Cameron."
"Didn't he start crying and shout at the sky 'God why? I'm still young.'" Brooklyn recalled.
Paul and Stephanie laughed and nodded simultaneously.
"It wouldn't have been a big deal had he not woken up the entire hotel."
"I can just see what Shawn would do now. He'd probably take our dear little sellout into the woods with a gun." Jon laughed, tears forming because he was laughing so hard.
Colby scowled at his best friendship
"Well lucky for me, Sarah and I don't have any immediate plans to create as you call it 'a mini ninja nation.'"
Sarah nodded in agreement.
"Besides, we've only just said that we loved each other. Kids is way down the line in the future."
"Future that's already thought about." Jon mumbled.
"What?" Brooklyn asked, sitting back in his lap so the babies could look at each other.
Colby's eyes widened a little. Jon's did the same when he realized what he had said.
"Oh um, nothing. I was talking about me and you." He lied to his wife. Paul started laughing and shook his head.
"Smooth."
Brooklyn looked at her husband, knowing he was lying. She could clearly tell.
"Hang on, that's not what you mean't or what you said. You said 'future that's already...'" Before Brooklyn could finish, Jon cut her off with a passionate kiss.
Everyone groaned at the display, Paul looking like he was going to be sick. He really didn't want to see his eldest daughter being mauled by her husband. It was disgusting.
"Next time I'm buying a plane ticket." Sarah said, turning away from the direction of her best friend.
After a long and grueling six hour flight, WWE's corporate jet finally landed in one of the private hangers at the airport. Paul and Stephanie said their goodbye's before getting into the limo that was waiting for them and heading to the hotel to work out plans for the next day's Raw.
Collecting their bags, Jon, Brooklyn, Sarah, Colby, and the twins made their way to the car rental office. While they were waiting, J.J started to fuss and wiggle before he started to cry.
"Aww what's the matter baby boy? Don't cry, mommy's here." Brooklyn tried to soothe but it didn't work. Sarah tried soothing her nephew, but he still cried. Colby tried but got the same result as the other. Which just left Jon who was standing there, Mia relaxed and calm in his arms.
Switching with Brook, Jon held his son close to him.
"Come on big guy, stop crying. I know this place is scary but it's not. Besides, daddy wouldn't let anything happen to you."
His words still didn't help. Just when he was about to lose hope, the music on the radio changed to Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond. Jon had made a promise to himself since his indie days that he would never do this in public again but he had no other option. For one, he needed to calm his son down, and two, the song was just to catchy not to.
Holding Jay even closer, her started to slowly sway while he started singing along.
"Sweet Caroline, bum, bum, bum, good times never seemed so good."
Sarah and Brooklyn watched with matching smiles as Brook swayed with Amelia, who cooed and smiled while Colby secretly filmed the entire thing with his phone. Hello blackmail.
Jon continued, smiling as he danced and sung to his son until he started to smile. His crying had stopped and was replaced by giggles.
"Who knew he'd feel calm with Neil Diamond?"
Brooklyn giggled.
"He must have the same crappy music taste like his daddy." Jon rolled his eyes and continued to dance.
"Mommy just doesn't know what's good for her." He murmured into J.J's head, kissing the top of it.
/*/
The next day was the day Jon was dreading. Tonight was Monday Night Raw and instead of watching it contently from his living room in Hartford, he was in Austin ready to make his first appearance on the broadcast in a month.
Part of him was happy that he was back but the other part of him enjoyed staying at home with Brook, the twins, and Mox. He enjoyed not having to do media. He enjoyed not being hounded for autographs or pictures by crazed fan girls. But he knew this would happen sooner or later.
"You okay?" Brooklyn asked, looking over at Jon who was driving. Jon snapped out of it and looked at his wife, nodding.
"Yea. Just wish I had a little longer of doing nothing." Brooklyn nodded and gave his hand a squeeze.
"We knew you had to come back at some point."
"I know, I just wished it was at the end of three months, not after a month. When are you gonna come back?" Brooklyn shrugged.
"I was cleared to work out, I don't know about actually going back in the ring. I'd have to ask my doctor at my next appointment." Jon nodded as he pulled into the talent parking lot. He groaned when he saw the lines of fans that had already lined up to take pictures of the superstars as they arrived.
"They're gonna scare the babies." Brooklyn mumbled, a little nervous.
"I know but we'll be quick. We gonna cover them with their blankets?" Brooklyn nodded.
"Alright, lets do this." He mumbled, getting out. The fans screamed when they saw who it was and who was with him. Both waved as Jon moved around back to grab the bags as Brooklyn started getting the babies ready.
"Okay babies, its gonna get loud but mommy and daddy are gonna get you in the building safe." Both babies smiled, oblivious to what their mother was saying. She smiled and pulled Mia's seat out, placing her pink blanket over her car seat to shield her face before she carried her over to the other side of the car to grab J.J.
Jon met her at the front, taking Mia from her and holding her in one hand while he rolled his bags with the other, Brooklyn following next to him with J.J and her own bags.
"Dean we love you!" Fans kept yelling as they got closer to the building. One of the security guys opened the door for them. Once they were inside, they pulled the blankets off the car seats, the babies looking around curiously.
"Welcome to mommy and daddy's work little ones." Brooklyn smiled as they continued walking down the hall to find Jon's locker room.
Once they found it, they walked in and set their bags down, followed by the car seats.
"Lets get you guys out of there." Pulling each baby out, Jon looked at Brook.
"You're gonna take them around all those women aren't you?" Brooklyn laughed and nodded while she untangled Mia's hand from her necklace. Jon shook his head.
"Anyway I can convince you not to?"
"Why not?" Jon shrugged.
"I just think it might be a lot for them."
"I think they'll do okay." Jon nodded.
"I tried guys. Remember that." Brooklyn rolled her eyes as a knock sounded on the locker room door. Walking over, she balanced Amelia before opening it, smiling when she saw Sarah.
"Hey."
"Hey. You ready?" Brooklyn nodded. Sarah was gonna go with her to see the divas while Jon went down to go over his spot for the night.
"Come here handsome." Sarah took J.J from his father.
"Just don't let them get to attached. They're ours." Brooklyn and Sarah laughed.
"Promise. I love you."
"I love you too. I'll come find you guys when I'm done." Brook nodded and kissed him softly before he kissed both babies.
Kissing Jon one last time, they started making their way to the divas locker room.
"Did Colby mind you coming with me?" Brooklyn asked as they walked together.
"Well he whined a little and told me he wanted to cuddle but then I reminded him about the meeting he had with uncle Paul and he quit pouting." Sarah chuckled, smiling down at J.J as they walked.
Brooklyn laughed and shook her head.
"Seriously he's like a big baby. What do you see in him again." She teased. Sarah blushed and rolled her eyes.
"To you, he's an annoying older brother, but to me I don't know how to explain it. He makes me feel things I haven't felt since Matt. Things I thought I'd never feel again. He gave me a second chance."
Brooklyn smiled wide at her best friend. Everything she had heard was the complete truth. Colby helped Sarah so much more than he ever would realize and Brooklyn was eternally grateful for that.
Turning dow a few more hallways, they finally found the divas locker room. Balancing Mia in her arm, Brooklyn raised her fist and knocked loudly on the door before readjusting her daughter. It only took a minute before the door slowly opened to reveal Paige.
"Oh my God Brook! Sarah! What are you guys doing here?" The English diva asked unable to stop smiling.
"I came to show off my babies." Brooklyn beamed. It was then Paige took notice of the twins and squealed like no one had ever heard before.
"Aw they are so cute! And damn, they look like clones of you guys."
Brooklyn and Sarah laughed.
"Everyone says that." Paige smiled and stepped to the side letting them inside. Brooklyn scanned the room and felt more at ease noticing everyone who was inside were friends. She didn't want her babies around people she didn't like. Case in point, Ariane.
Paige cleared her throat.
"Guys, we've got some visitors."
All the divas turned around and as soon as they saw who was there, they rushed straight for them.
Brooklyn laughed as they all squealed over the twins. Nikki and Brie gave them both more kisses before stepping back so the other women could see them.
"Aw Brook, they're beautiful." Brooklyn smiled at Trinity.
"Thank you."
"Can I hold one?" Brooklyn nodded at Nattie and handed her Amelia while Trinity took J.J.
"Wow, they look just like you guys." Brooklyn laughed while keeping a close eye. She trusted all of them but it was her maternal instinct.
"How have they been Brook?" Tamina asked, giving J.J her finger to hold on to.
"They've been amazing. I couldn't ask for anything better."
"Speak for yourself. I think Jon wishes they would stop spitting up and peeing on him." Sarah said as Paige and the Bella's pulled her in for a hug. Everyone laughed but it soon stopped when the locker room door opened and Eva Marie, Ariane, Summer Rae, and Renee Young came in.
"What's going on here." Ariane asked, a fake smile plastered on her face. All the other girls scowled at her, Nikki speaking up.
"Brooklyn brought the babies for everyone to meet. Is that a problem?" Ariane shook her head and looked at Brooklyn, the fake smile still on her face.
"They're cute Brook. How long ago did you have them? Two weeks?" Brooklyn furrowed her eyebrows.
"A month." Ariane nodded.
"Oh, my bad. I just thought with how you look, it was just a few weeks ago." Everyone scowled again when Brooklyn felt something twinge inside of her.
"Do you have to be a bitch, Ariane?" Brie shot back.
"She was just asking a question, Brie." Summer jumped to Arianes defense.
"I actually have one of my own. Brooklyn, how does Jon feel now that you trapped him." Sarah's scowl grew, a growl growing in her chest. Brooklyn kept her face neutral, refusing to let them see Ariane's words had gotten to her the most.
"Excuse me?"
"I mean, you must've known that after the whole Randy situation he was gonna leave. I mean, to go from one superstar to another, seems pretty ring rat to me."
"I bet he even thought you were just with him to make Randy jealous." Renee chimed in.
"I don't know who you guys think you are, but coming in here and trying to start drama, is pretty high school. Jon loves Brooklyn."
"Jon loves the push he'll get from being with Brooklyn," Eva Marie started, "guess him and Randy aren't much different after all, huh Brook. If I were you, I'd think about getting some implants to keep those around," she pointed Brooklyn's chest, "because without them, who knows if Jon would stay."
Brooklyn kept her face blank.
"I know you guys must have boring lives, but if you think for one minute I'm going to stand here and let you disrespect my relationship in front of my kids, you're wrong. I'm sorry you guys are miserable. Ariane, I'm sorry you have nothing going on in your life sense you were brought back down to NXT because you're terrible." Ariane scowled at her.
"That's some big talk for someone who's mommy and daddy got her to where she is."
"Listen here you bitch." Sarah started but Brooklyn stopped her.
"Its not worth it Sarah. If you guys are gonna insult me, think of something I haven't heard before. Now if you excuse me, my babies don't need to be around this." Nattie handed J.J back to Brook before she left, tears stinging her eyes. She was still hormonal and their words were getting to her, unfortunately. Usually she'd let it all slide but her hormones were still high. Stupid things.
Not knowing where to go, she headed to catering. Picking an empty table all the way in the back, she sat down and held the babies close to her. Both looked up at their mother, giving little smiles like they sensed she needed them.
She sniffled softly and kissed their heads.
"Brook?" Looking up, she saw Randy standing in front of the table.
"Hey Randy." He smiled softly at her.
"These them?" She nodded as he walked around and sat down next to her.
"They're beautiful. Who knew Jon would make cute kids." He teased. Brooklyn rolled her eyes, a small smile on her face.
Randy chuckled, but stopped when he saw the way her eyes glistened with tears.
"What's wrong?" Brooklyn furrowed her eyebrows.
"Nothing." Randy rolled his eyes.
"Brooklyn, how long have I known you?"
"I don't know. Since I was like ten." She mumbled.
"Exactly. I know when you're lying. What's wrong?" Brooklyn sighed.
"Ariane, Summer, Eva, and Renee have a death wish."
"Why?"
"I took the babies to see the girls and they walked in and Ariane said I must have had the babies a couple weeks ago because of how I looked. Then they went on to say how I trapped Jon because he was about to break up with me after he found out about me and you. They said he stayed because I had the babies and because he likes the push he gets from being with me." Randy shook his head.
"They compared him to me, didn't they?" Brooklyn nodded.
"You didn't believe them, did you."
"Not about the Jon thing. I know he loves me more than anything and no offense, he is nothing like you." Randy smirked.
"That's a good thing. You deserve someone way better than me. What about the way you look." Brooklyn dropped her eyes. Randy sighed and shook his head. He was about to talk to her about it when Jon came rushing into catering, his eyes locking on them before he made his way over.
/*/
Sarah watched as her best friend left the room, obviously upset.
"Guess she can't take some criticism." Sarah's blood boiled as she turned back to them.
"I don't know who you four sluts think you are, but you had no right to talk to her that way. She's done nothing to any of you. Just because all of you are useless, doesn't mean you can take it out on her."
The group of four all looked at Sarah with smug looks on their faces. All Sarah wanted to do was knock the looks off and send them to the nearest hospital.
"Who do you think you are?" Summer cackled, fixing her hair.
"Your worst nightmare, bitch." Sarah shot back, not backing down. These four women definitely did not pose any threat to her.
The Bella's and Paige noticed the look and Sarah's face and decided to stay close to her in case she needed back up.
"I don't know who let you back here but ring rats aren't allowed." Eva chimed in.
"Well from what I've heard, you and blondie here are the biggest rats in the company."
Their faces fell at Sarah's words. Sarah didn't care and she was gonna let them have it. Serves them right for messing with her best friend.
"Since you wanna give your 'criticism' to my best friend, how about I give all four of you the reality check you obviously need. You are all jealous. Jealous of the fact Brooklyn is younger, talented, and has more passion for this business than all four of you combined. You four don't care about this business or anyone other than yourselves. You just wanna use whoever you can in the business as a stepping stone to be famous." Sarah ranted.
All the other divas sniggered knowing that everything that Sarah saying was the truth.
"You're jealous that a twenty three year old has found the love of her life, is married, and has a fmily and you four haven't got anything or anyone and you're thirty."
"Who the hell are you anyway?" Renee questioned, obviously irritated.
"Sarah. Sarah Hickenbottom or Michaels." Their faces paled when they heard her last name.
"You mess with my best friend, you're messing with me. And trust me, dad taught me at a young age how to kick someone's head off."
"And she is dating Colby so I'm sure he's shown her a few things too." Nikki smirked, making Sarah do the same.
"So you're the latest skank Colby's dating. You look like a whore." Summer shot at her, her tone venomous.
It was common knowledge that Summer always wanted Colby and tried everything in her power to get him since their developmental days.
"Trust me, it won't last between you. Colby's not the type to get tied down especially to someone like you. You're just his latest fling. I give it a month before he kicks you to the curb. He deserves someone like me. I mean, come on. He'd be stupid not to want me." Summer finished, gesturing to her assets.
Sarah's anger grew.
"Give it up Summer he ins't interested. You're just jealous because he's happy and he would rather be celibate that look at you." Paige retorted. She the Colby well. They had been friends since their days in FCW and NXT. The English diva had never seen him so happy as he was since he met Sarah.
"And she is better than me? I don't think so." Summer flipped her hair over her shoulder while the other three behind her snickered.
"I am better and you wanna know why?" Sarah smirked.
"Why?" Summer said, uninterested.
"Because I don't look like someone who belongs on a pole. Tell me, is that how you got here?"
Summer's face instantly changed.
"You bitch!"
Before anyone could blink, Summer's hand connected with Sarah's cheek. Everyone's eyes widened as Summer gave a smug look. Sarah's head snapped back as her hand went to her cheek. Her anger reached a boiling point as she looked up and speared Summer to the floor. Summer tried pushing her off with no such luck. When that didn't work, she pulled her hair and tried to throw a punch, only to miss. Instead her ring cut Sarah's lip. Sarah growled.
"No wonder you're a terrible wrestler!" She hissed before punching Summer in the face. She felt arms wrap around her and pull her off.
"Easy Sarah, it's us." She recognized Brie and Nikki. Looking down, she saw Summer still on the ground, her nose bleeding.
"Just wait you bitch. Colby's a cheater. Once a cheater, always a cheater. And when he does chest, I'll be there for him." Sarah growled and went to lunge again but the girls carried her outside.
"Let me go." She fought against them.
"Sarah, they aren't worth it, trust me. We need to get you to the trainers and get your lip checked." Sarah sighed angrily but nodded.
Paige, Nikki, and Brie made the trip to the trainer's room with Sarah. Opening the door, they girls stepped inside to see Nick taping his hands while in a conversation with the trainer and Claudio, known on T.V as Cesaro.
"Peach, we need your help."
The guys turned around and their eyes widened seeing how badly Sarah was. Her cheek was bruised from where Summer's ring got her. Her lips was still bleeding as well as swelling.
"Jesus Sar, what the fuck happened to your face? Did Lopez do this cause I'll kill the bastard." Nick shouted, concerned for his friend.
The girls shook their heads.
"It wasn't Colby. You know he'd never do anything to a woman and that includes hitting one." Paige replied as she led Sarah to a treatment table.
"So who did it?" Claudio asked.
"It was Summer. Her and the rest of her minions verbally attacked Brook and Sarah stepped in. Then when Sarah gave them a taste of their own medicine, she didn't like it and she started saying things about her relationship with Colby." Brie explained as the trainer started cleaning Sarah's cut lip. She hissed when he touched her with the atiseptic alcohol swab.
"Everyone knows Summer's a climber. She thinks hooking up with superstars will better her own postion and get herself noticed." Nick said.
"It doesn't help that she'd had her eyes set on Colby since developmental. After Leighla and Zarha, she thought she'd have her chance." Claudio added with a shake of his head.
The Swiss superstar felt sorry for Colby and Sarah. The last time Sarah had visited Colby had ontroduced them and it didn't take long for them to become friends. Claudio liked Sarah and found out why Colby had fallen for the heartbreak kid's daughter.
When the trainer was done with her lip, he got ice packs for Sarah's cheeks and lip to ease the swelling.
"Keep the one on your lip for a few minutes, Sarah." Sarah nodded.
"You should probably tell Steph and Paul what happened." Nick suggested.
"I agree Sar. They shouldn't be able to get away with what they did. Especially what they said to Brook."
"What did they say?" Sarah sighed and told them everything the four had said.
"I'm going to kill them." Nick threatened. They all rolled their eyes.
"Easy there, Thor. We all know you won't hit a girl besides, Jon will probably beat you to it. But we need to go let her parents know first." They all nodded and together in a group made their way to Paul and Stephanie's office.
Knocking, they waited for Paul to answer before walking in. They were surprised to see Colby, Jon, and Joe all in the office with the two leaders of the Authority. In return, they were all surprised to see them and more importantly, the state of Sarah's face. Colby was the most shocked as he made his way over to his girlfriend.
"What the hell happened?" Colby demanded as he gently moved her hand and the ice away, seeing the swelling of her cheek and lip.
"There was quite a big incident in the divas locker room." Nikki started cautiously. But it did nothing to stop Jon's eyes from widening.
"Are Brook and the twins okay?" He jumped in.
All four girls shared a look.
"Ladies, is my daughter okay?" Paul asked as both he and Jon took a step closer to them.
"They're fine Paul, we promise. Its just, Ariane, Summer, Eva, and Renee said some pretty bad things to her."
"What did they say." Jon asked, clenching his jaw.
"Ariane asked if she had the twins a couple weeks ago because of how she looked. Then Summer, Renee, and Eva kept saying stuff about your relationship. They said she trapped you because she knew you were gonna leave her after you found out about Randy. Eva brought up that you're with her because of the push you'll get." Jon, Stephanie, and Paul all scowled.
"Where is she?"
"We're not sure. She left after putting them in their places."
"I'm gonna go find her." Paul nodded and they watched as Jon hurriedly left in search of his wife and children.
After the door closed, Paul and Stephanie looked in the direction of their God daughter. Paul felt his anger rise. Not only had this effected his daughter but also the girl he thought of as another daughter.
"Sarah, what happened?" Sarah sighed.
"I stood up for Brook, put the bitches in their places but that whore, Summer, kept running her mouth. Telling me Colby was a cheater so she would cheat on me and she'd be there to catch him when it happened. She slapped me when I called her a stripper. I couldn't take it so I speared her to the ground. She swung at me and her ring cut my lip.
Colby's jaw clenched as his eyes lit up with anger.
"They're lucky we got Sarah. She looked like she was going to kill them." Brie added.
"They insulted Brook and me. They're lucky I didn't."
Paul felt a smirk form on his face but dropped it before anyone could see. Clearing his throat, he looked at Colby.
"Colby, take her back to the locker room and get her sitauted. Girls, we'll need your statements so we know what action to take." All three nodded as Nick, Claudio, Colby, and Sarah walked to the locker room.
"Wait, I gotta go find Brook." Colby shook his head.
"Jon will find her. Come on sweetheart." Sarah sighed but didn't argue. She just hoped her best friend was okay or else she would be paying those bitches another visit.

Jon ran all over the arena, his heart racing. He had checked down by the ring, his locker room, hell even outside by the buses but he couldn't find them anywhere. Running down the halls, he found catering. Dashing inside, he stopped short when he saw who he was looking for. Brook and the twins were sitting at a table in the back, Randy next to them.
Taking some deep breaths, he made his way over. Randy and Brooklyn looked up at him.
"Baby, you alright? What happened." Brooklyn opened her mouth to talk but Randy stood up and walked over to him.
"I'll tell you. I don't think she wants to repeat it." Randy went through everything.
"She didn't believe them about me and you but them saying something about how she looked got to her." Jon sighed and looked over at his wife who kept her gaze on the babies.
"Thank you, Randy." Randy nodded and clapped him on the back.
"Talk to her Jon. And if you need my help with anything, let me know." Jon nodded and shook Randy's hand before the older superstar left.
'Still weird that we're friends now.' He thought as he walked over to sit by Brook.
"Brook, baby, look at me." Brooklyn slowly lifted her gaze to meet his.
"What happened." He asked softly.
"I know Randy all ready told you. And Sarah since you came running in here." Jon nodded.
"You know none of its true, right?"
"Not the Randy thing. I know me and you love each other more than anything."
"And what about your weight?" Brooklyn sighed. Jon shook his head, gripping her chin to make her look at him.
"Babe." He groaned.
"I tried not to let it, I really did. But somewhere in the back of my head, I can't stop it." Jon sighed and pushed a stray curl behind her ear, letting her chin go in favor of cupping her face.
"Brooklyn, you look amazing. Don't let some low life, who knows they have nothing going on for them and are jealous of you, tell you otherwise. That's all those women are, jealous."
"I know." She said, unable to look away from his eyes. Jon nodded.
"Good. Don't let them get to you Brook. You look amazing. You can't even tell you had twins." The babies started to coo in her arms.
"Except when they do that and when you're holding them of course." Brooklyn let out a soft giggle as well as a little sniffle.
"I'm sorry." Jon shook his head, taking Amelia from her.
"Don't be sorry darlin. Those women should be if I see them around here. Although I think Sarah got the point across." Brooklyn furrowed her eyebrows.
"Why? What did she do?"
"I'm not sure but her lip was split and swollen and her cheek was bruised." Brooklyn's eyes widened.
"What?"
"Relax Brook, she went to see the trainer. He gave her ice." Brooklyn shook her head.
"I have to go see if she is okay. Come with me?" Jon nodded. Both stood and Jon balanced Amelia in one arm and grabbed Brooklyn's free hand with his, leading them out of catering. Brooklyn's thoughts were racing. She hoped her best friend was alright because if not, she was going to pay those women a visit and this time, they would be sorry.
A/N: Hey guys! Just a quick note, I wanted to think one of greatest friends, Undisputed Future Louise. I've mentioned her before and she is awesome (Seriously, go check her work out!). Anyway, without her this chapter wouldn't have come together so soon and be as good as it is. She helped me a lot while I was out of town and I am forever grateful so this chapter is dedicated to her. Remember to review guys, it keeps me going and lets me know that you guys are still interested!
