Chapter Thirty Four:
Jon slowly started to wake up from his deep sleep. Rubbing his tired eyes, he blinked several times before he opened them. He groaned a little as the bright light almost burnt his retinas. Once his eyes adjusted, he turned his head and saw Brooklyn still sound asleep next to him. It was the first time they had been home in two weeks. His schedule had been hectic since Fastlane and Wrestlemania was coming up and he felt terrible that he wasn't getting able to spend as much time as he wanted with Brook and the twins.
Despite her constant reassurance, Jon still felt guilty so he had promised that the first day they had off at home was going to be a family day. They had searched their options and had decided to they would take the twins and head to the Connecticut Beardsley Zoo. Jon smiled as he thought about their day. He just wanted alone time with his family.
After watching Brooklyn for a few more minutes, he decided it was time to get up. Moving the covers from him, he got up to his feet, still completely naked from his previous nights escapades with Brook. He pulled on his boxers before he cracked his back and let out a groan as he walked around, hunched over for a few minutes.
"You're getting old." Came a teasing, tired voice. Jon turned and saw Brooklyn rubbing her eyes.
He scowled as she sat up, wrapping the sheet around herself.
"I wasn't to old last night when you wanted to try that new position." Brooklyn giggled.
"Relax, I was kidding and how many times do I have to tell you, I like older men."
"I'm not that much older than you."
"Old enough for me." She smiled, making him laugh as he walked over and bent down to kiss her.
"Morning." She smiled and kissed him again.
"Morning. When were you planning on us leaving today?" Jon shrugged as he sat on the end of the bed.
"Whenever you feel like going. I looked it up last night, its almost an hour away." Brooklyn nodded.
"So maybe we eat then head out?" Jon nodded.
"Sounds good to me. I was gonna go shower, save on water?" Brooklyn nodded.
"As long as its just a shower. The babies should be up soon." Jon held his hand up.
"Scouts honor." Brooklyn giggled and unwrapped the sheet before getting up from the bed, giving Jon a perfect view of her naked body.
"You're making it hard to make it just a shower." Brooklyn giggled as he followed her to the bathroom. True to Jon's word, they took just a shower. Despite them having troubles keeping their hands to themselves, they had both made a pact to only have fun when the twins were napping or sleeping for the night. They wouldn't let their rabbit like nature get in the way of being the best parents they can be for the twins.
After their shower, they both wrapped towels around themselves before heading to their walk in closet.
"Since you always seem to know, what is the weather supposed to be like." Brooklyn rolled her eyes.
"Like mid seventies and sunny." Jon nodded and they both worked around each other to get ready. Jon watched as she pulled on a pair of black lace panties along with the matching bra before putting on a black spaghetti strap tank top and black leggings.
"You love leggings don't you?" He asked when he started dressing. Brooklyn nodded as she pulled on her socks then her flat heeled, knee high, black boots.
"Yup, always have, always will." Jon laughed as he pulled on a pair of jeans and a Cincinnati Bengals t-shirt. Brooklyn pulled on a long, gray cardigan before heading to the bathroom and brushing her hair out. She applied some make up before walking out and literally running into Jon.
"Must we always meet like this." Brooklyn laughed and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"I think you run into me on purpose."
"Not the first time, a couple times after that maybe." Brooklyn laughed and shook her head. Jon lent down to kiss her but the twins had chosen that exact moment to wake up, their cooing coming across the baby monitor.
"How?" Brooklyn laughed and pulled away.
"They got tabs on you stud. Lets go get them." Jon chuckled as they left their room and went to the nursery.
"Morning beautiful's!" The babies waved their arms making Brooklyn giggle. She picked Amelia up while Jon took J.J.
"Good morning beautiful girl. Good morning handsome boy." She kissed both their cheeks before Jon did the same.
"Guess what babies, daddy and mommy are taking you guys to the zoo today. We're gonna see the tigers, and bears, and daddy's personal favorite, the monkeys." Brooklyn smiled as the babies cooed.
"Should we feed you guys and get you dressed before mommy makes breakfast?"
"Mommy's not making breakfast, we can go out." Brooklyn smiled.
"Okay. Lets get you guys fed." She sat in the rocking chair and Jon helped get her situated before stepping back.
"I'll get their clothes out."
"There is an outfit I've been wanting them to wear for when it got nice out. I think its in the second drawer on the left. It has a black bow attached to it." Jon nodded and walked over to the dresser, opening the drawer. He found what he was looking for and pulled it out to show Brook.
"This one?" She nodded as she rocked the chair back and forth gently. Jon nodded and got the changing tables set up to change them when they were done. Five minutes later, they burped the babies and started getting them ready.
Brooklyn smiled when Jon kept blowing raspberries on Amelia's stomach, the little baby smiling. J.J not to be let out, let out a little whine.
"Um, daddy, I think someone is feeling left out." Jon smiled and kept a hand on Amelia's stomach to ensure she didn't roll before leaning over and doing the same to J.J. The little baby smile and raised his hands to go in Jon's hair.
"Ow, ow! Brook, he's pulling." Brooklyn giggled an untangled his hands and Jon stood back up.
"Tell daddy that's what you get for leaving me out." J.J smiled.
"I'm sorry, it won't happen again." Brooklyn smiled and continued dressing her baby boy, smiling and talking softly to him.
"Ow, ow! Brook, she's pulling." Brooklyn looked over and saw Amelia had done what her brother did. Giggling, she untangled Mia's hands as Jon stood up.
"Amelia didn't like you leaving Jay out either." Jon chuckled.
"I said I'm sorry guys. Daddy's only one person, what do you want me to do?" Both babies squealed and cooed.
"I think that's baby talk for a new toy." Jon laughed.
"Okay, you guys both get a new toy." Both babies cooed and waved their arms.
Once the twins were both dressed in their outfits for the day, Brook and Jon took them downstairs where Moxley was waiting. As soon as he saw his owners, he barked and and ran around their legs.
"Good morning to you too, Mox. Go lay down." Jon commanded. Brooklyn laughed when Mox just looked at Jon, not moving from his position. J.J and Amelia waved their arms around at the dog.
"Go lay down, Mox." Brooklyn said in a softer tone. The boxer puppy charged into the living room almost immediately, making Jon scowl.
"How come he didn't do that for me?"
"Because you've got to talk to him softly so he understands." Jon rolled his eyes as they made their way into the living room. They each grabbed one of the babies car seat's from against the wall and sat on the couch to get them seated.
"I think he's messing with me like these two." Jon mumbled as the babies smiled. Brooklyn rolled her eyes at her husband.
"Jon, the twins are only a month and a half old, and Moxley isn't even one yet. How can they be in working together?"
"Its that baby talk. Moxley understands them so they all talk together." Like they were teasing him, the babies started cooing and Moxley's head perked up.
"See?" Brooklyn laughed and shook her head, buckling J.J into his seat, Jon doing the same to Amelia.
"I think daddy is insane." She whispered to the babies. Jon rolled his eyes and pinched her side, making her jump and laugh.
"Ready?" Brook nodded.
"Okay Mox, we'll be back later, hold down the fort." Moxley barked, making them smile. They checked to make sure he had fresh food and water before heading out. Buckling the two babies in, Brook got into the passenger seat and Jon got into the drivers.
After stopping and grabbing a quick bite to eat, they set out on the road to the zoo.
"Amelia Elizabeth!" Brooklyn laughed as Jon sang Amelia's name, the little baby cooing in response.
"Jonathan Michael!" J.J gave the same response as Jon sang his name this time.
"I must be a really good singer." Brooklyn laughed.
"Or they're only one month old and don't know any better." Jon mocked glared at her before looking back on the road while she laughed.
"You're so mean to me." Jon whined. Brooklyn rolled her eyes at her husband before she unlocked her phone. She checked her Twitter before going to Instagram. As she was scrolling, she noticed a post from Gal. It was a picture of Joe and JoJo playing WWE 2K15 with the caption "He'll Never Learn."
Brooklyn couldn't help but laugh, which caught Jon's attention.
"What's so funny?" Jon asked, looking at her briefly before focusing back on the road.
"Gal posted a picture of Joe and JoJo on Instagram. Their playing the WWE game and put the caption "He'll Never Learn."
Jon laughed and shook his head.
"Seriously? He must love being hustled."
Brooklyn shrugged.
"That or he thinks he's going to win at some point."
"The day that happens is the day that Colby and you stop going at it and Brad gets a PhD."
Brooklyn giggled and continued scrolling. Once she was done, she opened the camera app and held her phone up.
"Really?"
"You knew what you were getting into when you married me." Jon laughed. Brooklyn puckered her lips in a small kissy face while Jon held his fingers up in the peace sign.
"May I post it?"
"I guess. You know one of these days, I'm gonna hide your phone on you." Brooklyn rolled her eyes as she got the photo ready to post.
"Do that and you'll be left with your hand." Jon huffed.
"Bullshit. You'd miss it to much."
Brooklyn just shrugged and typed a caption for the picture. It read "I love him more and more everyday. Now only if I could get him to take a normal picture." She read it back to Jon, getting a laugh.
"You'd have to pay me." Brooklyn huffed.
"I'm not paying you money to take a picture with me. I'm your wife, you're supposed to wanna take pictures with me."
"I never said you had to pay me in money." He shot her a look, making her blush. An hour passed before they pulled into the zoo's parking lot.
"Doesn't look very busy." Jon commented.
"Well its only eleven. I don't mind it not being busy though." Jon nodded in agreement before they got out. They grabbed each baby out of their car seat and put them in the stroller before they started towards the entrance. After paying, they walked in and Brooklyn smiled as they started their tour. She was excited to have a relaxing family day.
"Where do you wanna start?" Jon shrugged.
"Up to you." Brooklyn thought about it for a minute until she heard the roar of a tiger. She smiled.
"Tigers?" Jon smiled and nodded. He pushed the stroller and held Brook's hand with his free one. The babies eyes widened when they heard the roar again, this time closer. Brooklyn smiled when they stopped at the exhibit. She stepped closer and saw two tigers down below, playing with each other.
"Look babies, its mommy's favorite animal!"
"Should we take them out so they can see?" Brook nodded and they eached grab a baby before going back over to the glass. Mia started cooing and flailing her arms.
"Do you like them Mia?" Mia cooed as she kept moving her arms around.
"I think we've found someone's favorite animal! You love tigers like mommy, don't you Mia?" Jon shook his head and smiled. Jon kept his arms around J.J, the little baby's back against his chest as the little baby looked on. They let out another roar that scared J.J, making the infant cry.
"It's okay buddy. They won't hurt you." Jon soothed as he continued to cry.
"Maybe we should move on. Say bye to the tigers, Amelia." Brooklyn took Mia's hand and made her wave before they moved on. They stopped to see the bears, birds, and giraffe's.
"Look babies its reindeer! Santa uses those. You guys will learn about Santa later. He's mommy's favorite." Jon laughed and just shook his head.
"You're weird, ya know that?" Brooklyn rolled her eyes.
"You just have no imagination."
"I happen to imagine a lot of things. Like what you'd look like naked on the bed surrounded by my favorite candy." Brooklyn rolled her eyes but a smile crept up on her face.
"I can't take you anywhere, can I?"
"Nope." Brooklyn rolled her eyes as they kept walking. Jon smiled when they got near the monkey exhibit.
"Babe, look." Brooklyn smiled as Jon went up to the glass with J.J to see the monkeys that were running around.
"I see. The plaque says they are Capuchin monkeys." Like Amelia did, J.J started cooing and waving his hands around.
"Haha, J.J likes monkey's! You guys really are our mini me's." Brooklyn giggled and moved closer to the glass. She jumped slightly when a monkey crawled up and sat in front of the branch that was in front of them.
"Whoa! We made a friend." Brooklyn giggled and took a picture with her phone.
"Whoa, mom, dad, look! Its Dean Ambrose!" Jon sighed slightly before both turned around, seeing a little boy and girl running up to them.
"And Brooklyn!" Brooklyn smiled softly as they laid the babies in their stroller.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Jon asked as both little kids looked up at them and smiled.
"We can't believe its you!" Brooklyn and Jon laughed.
"Its us."
"Tyler, Kaitlyn!" All turned their heads to see an older man and women around Brooklyn's parents age walking towards them.
"You guys can't run off like that. Why are you bothering these people?"
"Dad, its Dean Ambrose and Brooklyn! They're wrestlers."
"That's still no excuse for running off and for bothering them. I am so sorry." Their mother apologized.
"It's completely fine. Comes with the job." Brooklyn smiled.
"Can we take pictures and autographs? You're like our favorite wrestlers of all time! Pleeeaseee!" The little girl, Kaitlyn, begged.
Jon noticed the girl giving her parents a puppy dog look, one that resembled the one that Brooklyn often used to get her own way.
"Only if it's okay with Dean and Brooklyn." Their dad replied. Both kids spun around and hit Brooklyn and Jon with the same puppy dog look.
Brooklyn and Jon both smiled.
"Of course guys. Its no problem." Jon replied. Both kids jumped up and down excitedly. Brooklyn and Jon laughed as the two kids wedged between them for the picture.
"Wait, Brooklyn, can we do your pose." Brooklyn laughed and nodded.
"Of course." The little girl smiled and turned back around. Her and Brooklyn both hit Brooklyn's Stay Fierce sign while the little boy smiled and Jon did his rock and roll sign. The mother took the picture and smiled.
"Okay, all done." Brooklyn and Jon smiled as the two little kids turned back around and faced them. The babies started cooing, making Brooklyn pull the stroller closer to check on them. She smiled when she saw their eyes were still fixed on the monkey cage in front of them.
"Are these your babies?" Brooklyn and Jon nodded.
"They're beautiful."
"Thank you."
"Tyler was angry you had them." Kaitlyn admitted. Brooklyn and Jon laughed when the little boy looked embarrassed.
"Why is that?"
"Because he has a big crush on you!" Brooklyn and Jon laughed as the boy's cheeks grew red.
"Kaitlyn!" He groaned. Kaitlyn looked at him and shrugged.
"Kaitlyn, that wasn't nice." Her mother scolded.
"But mom, he always tells boys at school that I like them!" Brooklyn and Jon watched on amused. They both could tell they were twins and it made them wonder if that was their future.
"That doesn't mean you can do it to him. What do I always say?" Kaitlyn sighed.
"Two wrongs don't make a right." Brooklyn and Jon smiled as the little girl apologized to her brother. The parents looked at Jon and Brook.
"Twins, what are you gonna do?" The two laughed and looked down at their own twins who were still staring at the glass in front of them.
"So," Jon started, turning back to the little boy, "you like my wife?" The way he said it made it clear he was teasing. Brooklyn smiled and walked over to the boy.
"Dean can be mean to me, you'll be nicer right?" Jon chuckled as the boy smiled and nodded.
"Don't let her fool you, Tyler. She was mean to me on the way here."
Tyler looked at Brooklyn and his cheeks reddened.
"But she's pretty. How can someone so pretty be mean?" Brooklyn smiled and giggled softly before looking at her husband.
Jon shook his head.
"That's all a trick. She uses how pretty she is to hide how mean she is."
Brooklyn raised an eyebrow at her Jon.
"Well if I'm mean then the thing we talked about in the car definitely won't happen." Brooklyn smirked and Jon fake gasped.
"See buddy? She's mean!" Tyler laughed and shook his head.
"I don't believe you." Brooklyn smiled.
"Brooklyn, could we get a picture of you with Tyler?"
"Of course." Brooklyn bent down and placed her hand on his shoulder as they both smiled for the camera.
The mom snapped the picture and smiled.
"Thank you." Brooklyn smiled and pecked the little boy's cheek. They all turned their heads when the babies cooed loudly. The laughed when they saw the monkey from before had come back to the branch.
"Looks like Marcel is a fan of the babies." Brooklyn and Jon looked at the man.
"Marcel? As in the monkey from Friends?" He nodded and Brooklyn smiled at Jon for remembering that.
"How do you know his name?"
"Tim is the lead worker for the monkey exhibit." Jon and Brook smiled.
"That's amazing. You must get to see so many." Tim nodded.
"I do. My favorite is Marcel though. He is a Capuchin monkey and quite the trouble maker."
"Aw, he's your spirit animal!" Brooklyn teased Jon. Jon scowled and turned to Tyler.
"See? She's mean." They all laughed and the babies cooed.
"Since you've been so nice to us, why don't I return the favor?" Tim started, making them furrow their eyebrows in confusion.
"What do you mean?" Brooklyn asked.
"I could pull some strings and let you hold Marcel." Both their eyes widened and Jon smiled wide.
"That would be amazing." Tim smiled.
"I will be right back." They nodded as he walked away. The five made small talk for about twenty minutes before Tim came back, Marcel on a leash and perched on his shoulder.
Jon smiled and Brooklyn turned the stroller so the babies could see.
"Brooklyn, Dean, this is Marcel." They smiled and reached up to pet him.
"He's beautiful. How old is he?"
"He just turned three. Marcel, wave." They laughed when Marcel did as commanded.
"That's awesome. Can I hold him?" Tim nodded and looked up at Marcel.
"Marcel, jump." He patted Jon's shoulder, showing the monkey where to jump. Jon smiled when he did, landing safely on his shoulder.
"Brook, look!" Brooklyn laughed at the goofy grin on his face.
"I see. Hold still so I can get a picture." Jon nodded and was handing one of the treats Tim had given to him to give to Marcel. Brooklyn snapped the picture and smiled.
"Now Brooklyn, would you like to hold him?" Brooklyn nodded and took the treats.
"Marcel?" Marcel looked at his trainer when he saw him tapping Brooklyn's shoulder. He jumped down off of Jon and crawled up Brooklyn making her giggle. Instead of his going to her shoulder, she sat on her hip like he was a baby.
They laughed and Jon took a picture.
"Marcel, that's not your mother." Marcel just smiled and jumped down. When he jumped down, he moved over and jumped up onto the handle of the stroller. Brooklyn's maternal instinct kicked and immediately moved towards it but Tim stopped her.
"Marcel is trained to be around babies. He has also been a party performer before and he has all his shots." They watched on baited breath as the monkey just looked at the twins, who cooed loudly. The monkey would make noises back and the babies would coo and wave their arms. Brooklyn watched carefully to make sure he didn't touch them. After a minute, Tim picked him up and put him back on his shoulder.
"Okay Marcel, I think you've had enough fun for today. Say bye." Marcel made his monkey noise and poked Tim in the cheek.
"Well, I should go put him back. It was very nice meeting you guys."
"It was nice meeting you too. And you guys." Brooklyn hugged each kid while Jon just high fived them before the family left.
"That was fun." Jon smiled as they started to walk through the zoo more. Brooklyn smiled and nodded.
"It was," she smirked before continuing, "Marcel." Jon scowled and pulled her closer, making her giggle while the babies smiled.

Sarah let out a soft groan when she started waking up. Opening her eyes, she rubbed the sleep away before blinking a few times. She fully opened her eyes and stretched her arms out when she felt something around her. Looking down, she smiled seeing Colby's arms wrapped around her waist, his snores filling the room telling her he was still asleep.
Turning her body under his vice like grip, she looked up at her boyfriend's still sleeping face. He looked cute when he was asleep. Colby let out a groan as his body shifted slightly, his left arm moving from around her waist. Sarah bit her lip as she noticed the still vice like grip he had on her waist with his right arm. It was almost as if he was afraid she was going to disappear.
Her eyes traveled from his face down to his left wrist, his tattoo on display. She reached her fingers over and softly ran them over the lines that formed into the word "forever." She didn't realize how long she spent tracing the tattoo with her fingers until she heard his tired voice.
"What are you doing?" Looking up, she saw him looking at her through tired eyes. She smiled as he rubbed them.
"Good morning." He smiled down at her.
"Morning. What were you looking at?"
"Your tattoo. I never really studied it before. What is it?"
"Forever written on a burnt piece of paper." Sarah nodded.
"That's a weird tattoo." She teased, making him roll his eyes.
"I'm kidding. What does it mean?" Colby sighed softly.
"As a teen, I never really went out. Was pretty straight edged and I use to stay home and write a lot."
"Really? I would've never guessed that you'd be the straight edge type." Sarah said honestly making Colby chuckle.
"Well all I wanted to do was wrestle and me and my friends would be so focused on anything to do with wrestling that we didn't want to do anything else." Colby shrugged.
Sarah couldn't help but smile. She hadn't seen someone with the passion or dedication to the business at that age that Colby was.
"So you gotta a tattoo?"
Colby nodded as he stroked her hair.
"Pretty much. I wanted something to remind me of that part of my life. It was what drove me to actually pursue wrestling."
"What about your back tattoo? Cause I know Japanese symbols are definitely not straight edge." Sarah teased.
Colby rolled his eyes but kept smiling.
"Well you're very smart, sweetheart."
Sarah grinned.
"Top of my class from Harvard. So what do they mean?"
"From top to bottom they mean, integrity, respect, courage, honor, compassion, honesty, and loyalty. Its essentially the samurai code. Its the way they live their life. I thought it was a really cool message and kind of really cool, a simple way to live your life." Sarah smiled.
"That's so cool. But does courage apply since you're a sell out and hide behind uncle Paul and aunt Steph?" Colby gave her a look, making her laugh.
"I'm kidding. You are all those things so it fits perfectly." Colby smiled.
"What about yours?"
"The ones on my spine mean truth, faith, strength, family, and loyalty. Those are things that I live by too. Those are the things that mean the most to me." Colby smiled and saw the two she had on her body poking out from underneath her tank top.
"What about this one?" He pointed to her left hip.
"That means friendship. Something else that means a lot to me. I grew up on the road and without Ashley, Brook, and Noelle, I don't know what I would have done. We're like sisters." Colby nodded.
"And this one?" His fingers ran across the cross on the right side of her ribs. A shiver ran down her body, making Colby smile.
Sarah sighed softly.
"Its a long story." Colby smiled.
"I'm all ears, babe." Sarah gave a small smile.
"When mom and dad found out mom was pregnant, they immediately told my dad's parents. Well, they weren't as happy as my mom and dad were. They wanted them to get married and they didn't want to so it blew up into this family feud I guess. Dad and mom wouldn't talk to them, my grandparents wouldn't call to see how mom was doing, nothing. When my mom was only six months along with me, her water broke. They rushed her to the hospital and told them I needed to be born via a c-section so they did. They didn't know if I was gonna make it. I couldn't breathe on my own and was hooked up to all these different machines and was in the hospital for a while. When my grandparents found out, they dropped everything and came to the hospital and it helped them reconcile. They would visit every day and then they would all come see me. Eventually, I got better. I even got better before the doctors thought I would and from that day forward, they've called me Miracle. They told me I showed them life was to short and that I helped bring the family back together." Colby's eyes were wide and she laughed softly.
"I told you it was a long story." Colby shook his head.
"That is incredible. Do they know why your mom went into labor so early?" Sarah shook her head.
"No they had no clue. My dad likes to tell me that I knew there was a riff in the family and I wanted to fix it. That and I didn't like what my mom was eating anymore and decided to get the hell out of dodge." Colby laughed and pushed some hair out of her face.
"And you're still helping people." Sarah smiled as Colby pecked her head.
"Any others?"
"Just the ones on my wrist." She turned her wrists over for him to see.
"Does it look like I speak Latin?" Sarah giggled.
"This one," she pointed to the one of her right wrist, " is Vincit Omnia Veritas. It means truth conquers all and this one," she pointed to her left wrist, " is the Hickenbottom family motto. Don't ask why we have one, we just do. Anyway, it says your sin will always find you out." Colby nodded.
"Those are some pretty meaningful tattoo's." Sarah smiled and nodded.
"So, what are we doing today?"
"I've already made plans." Colby raised an eyebrow.
"Care to elaborate? Also, do these plans include me?" Sarah giggled.
"There is a local animal shelter and children's hospital I visit at least once of twice a month. I volunteer and help out when I can." Colby smiled.
"Just when I thought I couldn't love you more." Sarah smiled when he lent down to kiss her.
"What time were you thinking of going?"
"Well I'm gonna bake some cookies to take to the hospital so maybe like noon." Colby nodded and looked at the clock, seeing it was only ten o'clock.
"Perfect, gives me time to show you just how much I love you." Sarah smiled as he rolled them over so he was hovering above her. Thirty minutes and some passionate love making later, the two showered and got ready for the day.
"Help me bake?" She asked when they walked out to her kitchen. Colby nodded.
"Sure. Tell me what to do."
"Well first, I would like another kiss." Colby smiled and gave her what she asked for.
"Mhmm, thank you. Now, you can get the eggs, butter, and sugar out while I get everything else." Colby nodded and the two worked around each other. He had just closed the fridge door when he was pounced on by a very excited Thor. The little puppy had attached to the architect since they had first met. Thor circled his feet, his little tail wagging as he panted. Colby smiled as he set the eggs, butter, and sugar on the counter before bending down and picking the dog up in his arms.
He laughed when Thor started licking his face.
"Hello to you too." He laughed again.
"Should I leave you two alone?" Sarah teased with a grin.
Colby rolled his eyes, but still had a smile on his face.
"I don't think that's necessary. Thor knows I love you more." Thor whined a little and Sarah raised an eyebrow. She laughed when Colby scratched the dig behind its ears, making him pant again.
"I don't know why you're laughing. Kevin does the same thing to you." Colby retorted, pinching his girlfriend's side playfully.
"I miss Kevin." Colby smiled and set Thor down on the ground.
"Me too. I'll bring him out next time though." Sarah smiled.
"So," she said, clapping her hands together, "should we get started?" Colby nodded and they set to work to start the cookies. Since he rarely ever baked, he followed Sarah's instructions.
Almost forty five minutes later, the cookies were done and both had gone to dress before grabbing everything they'd need before heading out of the apartment.
They headed down to the parking garage, Sarah sliding into the driver's seat while Colby got into the passenger's seat. They both shut their doors and buckled up before Sarah started the car.
"So where to first?" Colby asked, balancing the cookies in his lap before holding Sarah's free hand as she started back out of her parking spot.
"I always like to go the childrens hospital first."
"Why?"
Sarah smiled.
"Two reasons. One, in case I'm sad because no child should have to go through what they go through and two, I don't want to go see them smelling like dogs." Colby chuckled and shook his head.
"So how long have you been doing this?" Sarah shrugged as they drove away from her apartment building.
"Ever since I moved here."
"Why do you do it?" Sarah looked over at him and gave him a soft smile.
"Because I want to help them. I am so fortunate enough to be happy, and healthy and to be able to do normal kid things when I was younger. Some of these kids don't have these opportunities. I feel lucky because I could have easily been one of these kids and I just want to help them out and be able to give back to them."
Colby's heart warmed as he listened to Sarah's explanation. Hearing her talk that passionately about volunteering, made something stir inside him. He could only imagine it was the same passion that he felt for wrestling.
"Hey, you okay? You're being quiet which I know isn't like you." She teased with a smile.
Colby snapped from his thoughts when he heard Sarah's soft voice.
He turned and saw the teasing smile on her face. He gave a smile of his own and nodded.
"I'm fine, sweetheart. I was just thinking."
"What about?"
"How I thought I just couldn't love you any more than I already do, you do something that makes me fall deeper." Sarah blushed and smiled. Colby smiled back and kissed the back of her hand softly. Ten minutes later, they pulled up to the front of the childrens hospital.
"Ready?" Colby nodded and they both got out. Colby was shocked when she opened the trunk of her car and pulled a couple toy bags out.
"When did you get those?"
"A couple days ago, before I picked you up from the airport. Everyone from work donates toys once a month for me to bring it." Colby smiled as she closed the trunk and locked her car.
"You guys are to good to be true." Sarah giggled and kicked him lightly.
"I'm real, see. Now come on, your lady can't open the door with her hands full." Colby chuckled and held the door open for her. She smiled and kissed his cheek before heading inside, Colby following.
"Sarah!" A nurse greeted happily. Sarah smiled and hugged the older woman. She was in her early fifties, had short blonde hair, and always had a smile on her face.
"Hey, Mary. How's everything?" Mary sighed.
"As good as it can be. These kids amaze me everyday. Always smiling and positive." Sarah smiled. Mary looked behind her to see an unfamiliar man behind.
"Who's this?" Sarah smiled as Colby moved to stand by her side.
"Mary, this is Colby, my boyfriend. Colby, this is Mary. She's the head nurse here." Colby and Mary smiled as they shook hands.
"Nice to meet you." Mary smiled and stepped back.
"Its nice to meet you too. Its nice to meet the one who broke Sarah out of her nun life style." Sarah's eyes widened and Colby laughed.
"What?"
"Nothing." She gave a pointed look at Mary, who just laughed.
"Relax, Sarah. I was just kidding. But it is very nice to meet you, Colby. Wait, aren't you a wrestler?" Colby nodded.
"How did you know?"
"Some of the kids have poster's of you in their rooms." Colby smiled.
"I can't wait to meet them." Sarah smiled up at him.
"Well follow me and you can." They followed Mary through the colorful hallways to a big lounge.
"Everyone, look who is here." All the kids in the room looked away from their toys and big smiles formed on their faces.
"Sarah!" Sarah laughed as some of them came over to hug her.
"Hey guys. How have you been? Being good for Mary?" They all laughed as Colby smiled watching the interaction.
He couldn't keep it off of his face while he watched all the kids react to Sarah. It was definitely clear that they loved her. He watched as his girlfriend received masses of hugs from all the kids, all of them asking Sarah how she'd been and what they'd be doing today.
"Okay guys. Well first, I've baked a massive amount of cookies that I know all of you love." The kids cheered, Colby chuckling as he continued watching silently.
"And I've also brought a few more things too."
"What did you bring us, Sarah?" A little boy, no older than five asked in a excited voice.
"Well, I've brought sacks full of new toys that need to be played with. Do you guys know anyone that would want them?"
The kids cheered and yelled "me, me!"
Mary smiled and shook her head.
"You spoil them to much." She chuckled.
"It's because she loves us." A little girl teased with a smile.
Sarah giggled and nodded as she hugged the same girl.
"Of course I do."
"So what's the other surprise?" Another little girl asked.
Sarah briefly glanced at her boyfriend, noticing that he was watching all the kids and their reactions with a smile on his face.
"What if I said I had a special guest?" They all smiled as she moved to stand by Colby. She smiled up at him before looking back at the kids.
"Guys this is my boyfriend, Colby."
Colby smiled at the kids and waved.
"Hey guys. Sarah's told me a lot about you all."
The room fell silent for a few minutes and the kids looked at Colby like they were assessing him.
"They do this often?" He asked discretely. Sarah and Mary laughed. Suddenly a few voices broke the silence.
"Hey, that's Seth Rollins!"
"Sarah how did you find Seth Rollins?"
"Are you friends?"
"You're dating Seth Rollins? Sarah you're so cool!"
The three adults laughed.
"Yes I am. You guys can come say hi." She didn't have to tell them twice. A swarm of kids ran over to him while Sarah and Mary watched.
"So how long have you guys been together?" Mary asked as they watched Colby answer the kids questions.
"Two, almost three months."
"You guys seem really good together." Sarah smiled brightly.
"I love him more than I ever have loved someone before." Mary smiled and gave the younger woman a small hug.
"Okay guys, why don't you see what Sarah brought you all and give Colby a break." Mary offered. The kids nodded and all sat at the tables as Mary pulled the toys out. Colby walked over and stood next to Sarah, wrapping an arm around her waist.
"They really like you." Sarah smiled.
"I was about to say the same thing. I think they care more about you then me right now." Colby chuckled.
"Sorry to steal your thunder."
"Its okay. I'll have more luck at the animal shelter." Colby smiled.
"I don't know. Animals love me." Sarah rolled her eyes.
"You're a sell out." Sarah laughed as a little girl stopped in front of them. Colby chuckled and bent down in front of her.
"Let me guess, you're a Roman Reigns fan?" The little girl shook her head.
"Then who do you like?" Sarah smiled, bending down next to Colby.
"I like Dean Ambrose and Brooklyn." Colby rolled his eyes as Sarah giggled.
"I should have known. You know, I know them. They aren't all that great." Sarah slapped his arm and she turned back to the little girl.
"You know, Brooklyn is my best friend." The little girls face lit up.
"She is?" Sarah smiled and nodded.
"She sure is. How about I see if she'll come in with me one of these days?" The little girl nodded enthusiastically.
"That would be amazing, thank you Sarah." She turned and looked at Colby.
"You're still a sell out and I hope you lose at Fastlane." Sarah laughed again as the girl walked away to join the rest of the kids. Colby mock scowled as they both stood to their full heights.
"Well, almost everyone loved you." She giggled again at the look on her boyfriend's face. The two soon joined all the kids and started doing different activities.
At one point, Sarah was sitting at a table playing go fish with a couple of the kids while Colby sat across the room at another table playing checkers. Sarah looked up, smiling when she saw how Colby was interacting with the kids. How he was letting them win and letting them gloat.
"Sarah, are you gonna have babies?" Sarah's eyes widened as a couple of the kids laughed.
"What?"
"Are you gonna have kids?" Sarah laughed softly.
"Why do you ask, Megan?" Megan, a little girl with red hair, shrugged.
"My mom and dad told me that when they were in love, they had me. So since you and Colby are in love, are you gonna have babies?" Sarah laughed, a blush creeping up on her cheeks as she thought about the answer. She couldn't deny, seeing Colby interacting with the kids. It made her heart swell. She could definitely see herself in the future having kids with Colby.
"Maybe some day. Do you think we'd have cute kids?"
Megan nodded and Sarah smiled. Unknown to her, on the other side of the room, the boy Colby was playing with had asked him the same question.
"Why do you want to know?" The little boy, Kyle, shrugged.
"Just wondering. She's pretty so why not." Colby laughed and took his turn. He turned his head and saw Sarah had a big smile on her face as they played. It made just as big a smile form on his own face. He couldn't believe how much compassion and love she had in her. He didn't doubt for a second that she would be nothing less then a great mom. But he knew deep down, he wanted to be the dad in that equation.
"Someday Kyle, me and Sarah will have kids." Kyle smiled.
"You should name one after me." Colby laughed and shook his head, stealing one more glance at his girlfriend before focusing back on the game at hand.

A sharp ringing made Jon growl.
"You've got to be kidding me!" He looked to his left and saw Brooklyn's phone going off. Of course, once its time for their own alone time after their family day today, they're interrupted.
"Brook, it's your-ah!" He threw his head back, his hands tightening on the comforter below him. The ringing kept up, making him look down as he took a couple deep breaths.
"Brook, your phone is ringing." He saw her lift her head slightly, the glorious feeling going away as she moved. Brooklyn poked her head out from under the blanket. She wiped her mouth of Jon's pre-cum as she sat up.
"It better be important." Jon hissed, his member still standing at attention. Brooklyn giggled and took her phone from him and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hey Brook, are we interrupting?"
Brooklyn smiled and looked down at Jon who had his eyes closed in frustration.
"A little bit but it's okay. What's up dad?" She trailed her hand up and down Jon's thigh, tickling him softly.
"I was calling to let you know about the meeting with grandpa today."
"Oh. How did it go?" She smirked when Jon reached down and grabbed her hand, making her teasing stop. He opened his eyes and mock glared at her.
"I will spank you." He mouthed silently, making her smirk widen as he father started talking again.
"It went good. He wasn't happy and was surprised you weren't the one to swing on one of them."
Brooklyn giggled.
"I wouldn't do that with the babies there. I'm not going to put them in that environment. Did you guys come up with a decision?" Jon interlaced their fingers together as her and her father talked. He furrowed his eyebrows when Brooklyn's grip tightened on his. Looking up, he saw her eyes were wide and her mouth hung slightly open.
"Brook?"
"W-what?" He could tell she was talking to her dad still. Sitting up he pulled her close.
"Brook?" Brook held her hand up, telling him to hold on.
"I-I will definitely look at it. Yea, of course. Alright, dad, I love you. Night." She hung up her phone and dropped her arm.
"Brook, what happened? Did they not do anything because I will gladly keep the babies so you can take them on." Brooklyn looked at him and shook her head.
"No? Then what did he say?" She locked eyes with him, a little laugh escaping her lips.
"They want me to run the divas division."
