Chapter Seventy One:
"And why the fuck do I have to tell her?" Joe and Colby both looked over at Jon, who was sitting on the weight bench, his phone out in front of him on speaker.
"Because Jon, you're her husband and she'll take it better if you tell her."
Jon rolled his eyes.
"Phil, you and April aren't coming to the wedding. I don't think she's going to take it well no matter who tells her."
Phil had called him just a few minutes ago to tell Jon that he and April wouldn't be coming to the wedding. Jon understood. He and the rest of Brooklyn's family aren't on good terms. Like at all. But Phil and Brooklyn were close so for him not to come, was going to be like a punch to the stomach for her and Phil was begging Jon to handle it. Yea, because Jon wanted to be the one to break the news.
"Well then let Colby tell her. That way if she freaks out, she can beat him up instead."
Colby's eyes widened and he shook his head.
"No way! Maybe you should grow a pair, Brooks, and tell her yourself."
"What's the matter, Lopez? Scared of her?"
Colby scowled.
"No." He muttered, looking down at the ground. Joe laughed and clapped his brother on the back.
"Like we believe that." Colby rolled his eyes as Jon chuckled and shook his head before speaking again.
"Fine Phil but you owe me."
"Thank you, Jon it means a lot. I'm sorry we're not coming. I just don't want to make things awkward on your guys day, ya know?"
"No I know. I'll let you know how she handles it." Pushing the end button, he dropped his phone onto the workout bench. Running a hand over his face, Joe and Colby looked at him.
"You okay, man?" Jon nodded.
"Yea it's just, I don't think she's gonna take this well. She already has Scott that's not coming now Phil? And how the hell do I get stuck telling this?"
"Because you're her husband and since you're both crazy, you know how to handle her." Jon rolled his eyes as Joe shook his head.
"Shut up Colby." They said at the same time. Colby threw his hands up in surrender.
"Fine. Dinner with my family went good last night, thanks for asking." They both rolled their eyes.
"Colby, we all knew your family was going to love Sarah. Your sister and her probably talked make up, your brother probably told her how stupid you are. Your grandfather just told her how pretty she was, your dads just sat there and your mom went on and on about how you two were perfect for each other."
"You got the first four, right." Jon and Joe raised their eyebrows as Jon laid back down and started lifting again while Joe spotted him.
"Your mom didn't go on and on?" Colby shook his head.
"No she just kind of sat there." Both looked at him. Colby raised an eyebrow.
"What's with the looks?"
"No nothing. It's just your mom was always going on about Leighla and Zahra so we thought when she met Sarah, she'd be talking your ear off about when is the wedding and when are you having kids."
Colby shook his head.
"No she was actually quiet which I didn't mind. Sarah was nervous and I didn't want mom to say anything like that to scare her. Besides, if she didn't like her, which she does, she'd tell me. You guys have met my mom." Joe and Jon nodded.
"You're right." Colby nodded.
"About time you guys admitted it. Now lets finish up so we can go watch Jon get something thrown at him."
Jon groaned as Joe and Colby laughed.

"I'm telling you Brook, she hates me." Sarah said, as she helped Brooklyn dress the babies. Brooklyn shook her head, looking up from Amelia.
"I'm sure she doesn't hate you Sarah. She's just afraid of Colby getting hurt again."
"I know that but she wouldn't even listen to me when I told her otherwise. She accused me of being a gold digger. I don't think she has any idea who dad is."
"So tell her." Brooklyn said as she snapped up Amelia's onesie before putting her pair of little pink shorts on and a pink head bow.
"I feel like she would just call me a spoiled princess then. I'm telling you Brook, you're lucky not to have to deal with Jon's mom."
"Oh no, I haven't. I only went to court with her because shes crazy and had to deal with constant harassment." Sarah rolled her eyes and laughed.
"You know what I mean." Brooklyn laughed and nodded.
"I do but you shouldn't let this woman treat you like this. Did you tell Colby?" Sarah shook her head as he finished dressing J.J before slipping on his little socks and shoes that matched a pair Jon had.
"No I didn't wanna cause a problem between him and her. Besides, I have a plan. Introduce her to my family, show her I'm not a gold digging whore like she claimed and hopefully, get her off my back." Brooklyn smiled.
"If you need backup, I'm here. I've already dealt with one crazy mother. I can take on another one." Both girls laughed as the babies cooed and waved their hands around.
"Thanks Brook but I think I can take it." Brooklyn just shrugged as they heard loud voices outside the door.
"Just go in!"
"I'm trying. I can't find my key."
"Bullshit you're just stalling."
"Fuck off, Lopez."
They heard the sound of a slap and Colby yell.
"What the hell are they doing?"
"Apparently abusing my boyfriend." They both stood from the bed and grabbed the babies before going over to the door.
Brooklyn balanced Amelia in one arm before opening the door. She raised an eyebrow as Joe held both Colby and Jon apart.
"What is going on?"
"Colby's being annoying again."
Colby rolled his eyes and looked at Sarah.
"Babe, I wasn't doing anything. You believe me, right?"
"I don't know. You can be annoying sometimes." Colby scowled.
"Meanie." Sarah laughed as Brooklyn moved to the side.
"Come in children."
"Actually, I was gonna take Sarah out for some food before you guys go get your hair and stuff done." Tonight was the night of the Hall Of Fame ceremony. Jon gave him a look asking 'what the hell?'
Sarah smiled.
"Okay. Here Jon, take your son." Jon turned and took J.J from Sarah as she grabbed her purse and walked outside.
"Bye Brook. I'll see you later." Brooklyn smiled and waved as they walked away.
"Well, I'll be off too. Promised Jo I'd take her sight seeing." Jon groaned silently. So much for his friends being there for him. Brooklyn smiled.
"Bye Joe." He smirked and waved, clapping Jon on the back as he walked away. Jon took a deep breath as J.J snuggled to his chest.
"Are you gonna come in or stand out there like a weirdo?" Brooklyn smirked. Jon laughed and walked inside as she shut the door.
"Hi darlin." Brooklyn smiled and pecked his lips.
"Hi. Did you see Jay's shoes?" Jon look down and smiled.
"Look at that big man, you and me match. Daddy/son shoe game is strong." Jon kissed his head as J.J cooed. Brooklyn rolled her eyes.
"Don't talk like that." Jon chuckled.
"Hi pretty girl." Jon said, kissing Amelia's head.
"So how was the gym?" Brooklyn asked, sitting down on the bed.
"It was um, good. Phil called me." Brooklyn raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"He did? Good, I've been waiting for his and April's R.S.V.P. Did they tell you if they wanted the chicken or steak?" Jon shook his head. He knew he had to do it.
'Just break it to her gentle.' He thought to himself.
"No he didn't. Look Brook, Phil called because he and April aren't coming to the wedding." Brooklyn the same expression on her face.
"What?" Jon sighed and stepped forward.
"They're not coming to the wedding, babe. Phil said he didn't want to make things awkward what with not being on good terms with the rest of your family and everything. He wanted the day to be about us with no tension in the air." He watched as her face fell. Jon mentally cursed Phil.
"I-I get that, I guess." He saw the tears shining in her eyes. He sat down next to her, held J.J in one arm before wrapping his other one around her.
"I'm sorry Brook. I know how much you wanted them there." Brooklyn nodded, reaching her free hand to wipe the tears away.
"I did but I understand. I wouldn't there to be tension and I know there is. Like he said, this day is about us and I want it to run smooth." Jon nodded. He was happy to see she was taking this well. The last thing he wanted was to see her hurt and crying. That was a sure way to put him in a bad mood.
"Me too and it will." Brooklyn nodded.
"Just kind of sucks. First Scott is no longer in my life and now I feel like I never see Phil or April. It's l-like I lost them too." The tears started falling down her face as she cried. Jon groaned. God damn it!
"Baby you haven't lost them. Why don't we go see them next week? Huh? We can take the babies and fly out to Chicago and spend some time with them."
Brooklyn nodded, wiping her eyes.
"Y-yea that sounds good." Jon nodded and kissed her head.
"I'm sorry, Brook." Brooklyn looked at him.
"It's okay. But can you hand me my phone?" Jon nodded, reaching over and grabbing her phone from the nightstand and handing it to her. She unlocked and scrolled threw her contacts before pushing one and putting the phone to her ear.
"Who are you calling?"
"Phil. I'm yelling at him for making you tell me and not doing it himself." Jon smirked and nodded, sitting back on the bed with J.J to watch the show.
/*/
"So besides wanting to treat me to food, why did you want to leave Jon and Brook?" Colby laughed as he sat across from Sarah outside of a the restaurant they had gone to grab a bite to eat at.
"Well for one, I know how cranky you get when you don't have food." Sarah glared at him as he continued. "And, Jon got a call from Phil when we were at the gym telling him that he and April wouldn't be going to their wedding."
Sarah shook her head.
"I figured he wouldn't. Especially how things ended between him and the company. I'm assuming Brook didn't take it to well."
"Probably not. I feel bad for her. First she can't invite Scott, someone who has been there her entire life until he became an asshole and now Phil won't be coming." Sarah softened her expression and grabbed his hand over the table.
"Aw, you do care about her." Colby rolled his eyes.
"Yea well don't tell her. She'll get all mushy and shit." Sarah laughed. They sat in silence for a few minutes before Colby spoke again.
"I never got to ask. What did you think of my family?"
Sarah wanted to tell him about his mom, but decided not to. Not yet anyways. Instead she put a smile on her face.
"I loved them. Brandon is funny and Sophie is sweet." Colby smiled.
"And my mom?" Sarah had to stop her smile from falling.
"She's sweet. I expected more talking though." Colby nodded.
"Me too but I'm glad she didn't. I didn't want her to say anything to scare you." Sarah smiled.
"Brook, Jon, and uncle Paul and Steph already teased us about marriage and babies. What else is there?" Colby laughed and shrugged.
"I'm sure she'd find something. I'm glad you liked everyone and I'm glad everyone liked you." Sarah just kept the smile on her face.
"Me too. It put me much more at ease." Colby smiled.
"I'm glad you said that because I wanted to ask you something." Sarah raised her eyebrow.
"Oh okay. What is it?" Colby smiled.
"Well, I've seen all of Hartford and where you love and what not and I was wondering, if you wanted to do the same?" Sarah furrowed her eyebrows.
"Huh?" Colby laughed.
"I was wondering if you wanted to come to Davenport with me on our time off." Sarah's eyes widened.
"R-really?" Colby nodded.
"Yea that is if you want to. I won't push you into anything but I thought it'd be nice ya know. If you want to think about it I understand." Sarah looked at him and smiled shaking her eye.
"No, I don't need to think about it. I wanna go. I wanna see your place and where you're from." Colby smiled wide.
"Really?"
Sarah nodded.
"Of course. Why wouldn't I? Like you've said, you've seen Hartford and I'm hoping someday we can go to Texas and I can show you around there. I'd love to go to Davenport with you." Colby smiled even wider. Something he didn't even know was possible but with Sarah with him, he was beginning to think anything was possible.
"O-okay, okay. Great! Tuesday night, we'll fly back to Hartford, you can get some new clothes and stuff then we can fly out Wednesday morning and hang out until my show on Saturday." Sarah smiled.
"Sounds amazing."
/*/
"He invited me to go to Davenport with him." All the girls eyes widened and they all smiled. They were currently in Brooklyn and Jon's hotel room getting their makeup done by Lauren while Jon and the rest of the guys were done at the pool with the babies.
"Sarah that's amazing!" Brooklyn said as Lauren worked on her.
"I know. I'm really excited."
"Sarah, you two are to cute. How did meet the parents go?" Brooklyn huffed, making her sister in law hit her shoulder.
"Ow!"
"Stop moving. You're going to make me mess up." Brooklyn rolled her eyes and closed her eyes as Lauren continued doing her eye make up.
"I see you're bossy like Jon." Lauren laughed.
"That's funny. Jon tells me I'm bossy like you." Brooklyn refrained from rolling her eyes.
"Of course he did."
"Anyway, how was meeting the parents Sarah?" Sarah sighed as she got her hair done by one of the stylist's Nikki hired.
"It was good I guess. His mother basically called me a gold digging whore." Nikki, Brie, Ashley, Noelle, and Gal's eyes widened.
"What?"
"Yup. Called a gold digging whore, told me that if I thought I was going to get anything out of Colby then I was dead wrong and should just leave now. Same thing if I was planning to cheat on him. It was a great night."
"Why on earth would she say something like that?" Noelle asked.
"Because of his past exes. Well more so Zahra. Colby was the one who cheated on Leighla."
"Doesn't she know who your dad is?" Sarah shrugged.
"I don't know. If she does, she doesn't care."
"Did you tell Colby?" Sarah shook her head as the hair stylist finished up. Her hair fell in curls with a waterfall braid going from one side of her head to the other. She thanked the hairstylist before sliding out of the chair while Ashley took her place.
"No I didn't wanna cause any trouble with them. I just hope after the dinner with my family and his, she realizes how wrong she was."
"When's that?"
"Monday night after Raw. God she was just so rude." Everyone laughed as Brie hugged Sarah.
"Meeting the family isn't all bad Sar. I remember when I met Bryan's." For the next half hour, everyone traded stories about meeting their significant others family.
"We all know about mine." Brooklyn said, getting out of the make up chair. Lauren had done a wonderful job.
"Yea Brook we know. How about you Lauren? You have a boyfriend right?" Lauren's eyes dropped slightly as she cleaned the brushes to prepare for Nikki.
"No we uh, broke up." Brooklyn raised an eyebrow.
"When?"
"Before dad and I came to California. We'd been having problems and they seem to have gotten worse when he found out Jon was my brother."
"He wanted shit didn't he?" Lauren nodded as Nikki got in the chair.
"Yea so I told him to shove it." Brooklyn hugged her sister in law.
"You don't need him Lauren. Hey, now that you're with the company, maybe you'll find someone new." Lauren smiled at Gal.
"Maybe. Hopefully they won't be assholes."
"Oh well then allow us to tell you who to stay away from." Lauren laughed and shook her head before starting on Nikki. Two hours later, all the girls hair and make up were done when the boys all came back. They all wolf whistled when they saw the girls, making them roll their eyes.
"You look beautiful." Sarah smiled and Colby.
"Thank you."
Brooklyn smiled and took J.J from Jon as he held Amelia.
"How were they?"
"They were awesome. J.J took a dive off the diving board and Amelia secured her spot on the Olympic team." Brooklyn laughed and shook her head.
"You look beautiful." He went to kiss her lips but Brooklyn pushed him away.
"No you'll smudge my lipstick." Jon rolled his eyes.
"You'll be fine." He went to kiss her again when he was sprayed with a water bottle.
"Hey!" Amelia scrunched her face up as some of the mist hit her. Jon looked and saw Lauren standing there.
"What the hell, Lauren?"
"I worked hard on your fidgety wife. Don't smudge it."
"I am not fidgety."
"Yes you are." Everyone chorused, making her roll her eyes. Lauren laughed and shook her head as an attractive, bald man walked up to her.
"Hello, I don't believe we met before. I'm Claudio." Lauren almost swooned at his Swiss accent. She smiled and placed her hand in his.
"I'm Jon's sister, Lauren." Claudio smiled and shook her head.
"A beautiful girl like you is related to him?" Lauren blushed as Jon rolled his eyes and all the girls in the room shared a look.
"I'm not ugly. Babe, he called me ugly." Brooklyn laughed and shook her head, cupping his cheek.
"You're not ugly, Cowboy. Promise." Jon smirked.
"Hear that everyone?"
"Oh please, she's supposed to say that. You're married."
"So? Brie tells you your goat beard looks good when it clearly doesn't." Bryan scowled.
"At least my hairline isn't receding." Jon's eyes widened. Brooklyn shook her head and spoke before he could.
"Alright children, you're all cute. God. Sometimes I think the twins act better then you guys. Everyone out so we can get ready." Everyone rolled their eyes. Claudio looked at Lauren who was finishing packing up.
"Do you need help with your bags?" Lauren looked up and smiled, shaking her head.
"No I'm okay. I'm staying here to babysit anyways." Claudio smiled and gave a slight nod.
"Well I must be off to get ready. It was nice meeting you Lauren." Lauren almost moaned at how her name sounded in his accent. She collected herself and smiled.
"It was nice meeting you too, Claudio." He smiled before leaving. Brooklyn looked at her sister in law and smirked.
"Someone likes someone." She said in a sing song voice making Lauren blush and Jon scowl.
"Stop, Brook." Lauren said, her cheeks as red as her hair. Brooklyn laughed.
"Sorry."
"It's not happening." Jon said, feeling a surge of protectiveness. It wasn't that he thought Claudio was a bad guy. In fact, he was one of the nicest guys Jon knew but the thought of him with his sister was odd.
Lauren and Brooklyn rolled their eyes.
"And why not?"
"Because, because..." Jon trailed off as he tried to think of something. Brooklyn just shook her head.
"Jon, please just go shower and get dressed. Maybe you'll come up with a reason then." Jon rolled his eyes but handed Amelia over to Lauren before grabbing the bag that had his tux in it and heading into the bathroom.
"Thank you Brook." Brooklyn smiled as she rocked J.J.
"You're welcome. So Claudio, huh?" Brooklyn wiggled her eyebrows, making Lauren blush.
"He's so cute! And that accent." Brooklyn laughed.
"Someone got bit by the love bug." Lauren rolled her eyes as Amelia waved her hand, hitting Lauren's nose.
"I don't think so Brook. I just got out of a relationship. I don't know if I'm ready to get into one again."
Brooklyn nodded.
"I completely understand. But, I doubt Claudio would be like your ex. I mean, he already works for the company so he won't ask for anything except a facial." Lauren giggled and shrugged.
"We'll see." The two sat around and talked for a while before Jon came out of the bathroom. Brooklyn wolf whistled as he came out wearing his navy blue, suit pants, his white button up shirt, and his navy blue tie hanging untied around his neck.
"Looking good, brother." Jon smirked.
"I know but I can't get my tie on right."
"Come here." Brooklyn handed J.J to Lauren before getting up on her knees and crawling over to the end of the bed. Jon stood in front of her, hands on her hips as she tied his tie for him.
"How do you know how to do that Brook?"
"Years of watching my mom do it for my father."
"I knew he didn't dress himself." Brooklyn laughed at Jon and finished with his tie.
"There. You look very handsome." Jon smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Why thank you darlin. But I'm still not slicking my hair back." Brooklyn rolled her eyes. All day yesterday she had begged him to slick his hair back for tonight.
"Fine, be stubborn." Jon laughed and headed back into the bathroom to finish getting ready. Once he was done, Brooklyn grabbed her dress bag and jewelry before going into the bathroom.
"Wow, those are some shoes." Lauren snickered at her brother. Jon rolled his eyes as he pulled the tan dress shoes on.
"Shut up." Lauren laughed as the babies clapped their hands.
"Don't encourage her, you two. She's being mean to daddy." J.J and Amelia smiled and clapped again.
"Hey!" Jon mock scowled and got closer to the babies faces. The two squealed happily.
"Are you two laughing at me?" Lauren laughed as the babies smiled. J.J reached his hand forward batted at Jon's face. Jon took his hand and blew raspberries on it, making the little baby giggle.
"You're a good dad." Jon looked at his sister and smiled before sitting up straight.
"Thanks. Are you babies gonna be good for aunt Lauren while mommy and daddy are gone?"
"I'm sure they'll be perfect, right guys?" The babies smiled again.
"Who do they get their happiness from everyday. I know it's not you." She teased, making Jon roll his eyes.
"I'll have you know, I am always pleasant."
"Uh-huh so they get it from you?"
"Hell no! Are you kidding me? I just lied through my teeth. They get it from Brook." Lauren laughed.
"That's what I thought."
Both their heads turned towards the bathroom door and Brooklyn came out in her dress. Jon's eyes widened and his mouth slightly dropped open. Brooklyn blushed when she stepped out in the bathroom.
"Brook, you look beautiful." Brooklyn smiled at Lauren and smoothed down the invisible wrinkles in her dress. It was a floor length, long sleeve, royal blue dress that crossed in an X in the back, showing some of her skin.
"Jon? What do you think?" Jon didn't answer, just looked her up and down. Her long, brown hair was up in a neat bun. He think she called it a sock bun. Her make up looked flawless thanks to his sister and the dress fit her like a glove, showing off all her curves. Licking his suddenly dry lips, he locked eyes with her.
"You look beautiful, Brook. Very beautiful." Brooklyn blushed as he stood up to stand in front of her. He grabbed her hands and pressed a kiss to the back of them.
"Thank you. We should probably get going. Lauren, I stopped formula feeding them so there are bags of milk in the fridge. Just pour them in the bottles and heat them up. Their jammies are in the suitcase by the pack and play and they have to have Colby's blankets when they go to sleep." Lauren nodded.
"Why did you stop the formula?" She asked as Brooklyn packed her clutch.
"Because despite us having the one good night with them, it didn't last long. In fact, they got up more times for the formula then they did for me. So after some research-."
"Extensive research. She even called her old doctor back in Vegas." Lauren's eyes widened and Brooklyn shrugged.
"I needed second opinions. Thank you so much for watching them." Lauren nodded.
"No problem. I love spending time with them." She smiled down at the babies in her arms.
"Is dad coming over?"
Lauren shook her head.
"No. He said he was gonna meet up with some of his old friends that were here or something like that." Brooklyn and Jon nodded.
"Okay. Well if you need anything, call. Bye my loves." Brooklyn walked over and kissed the babies foreheads before Jon did the same.
"Ready?" Brooklyn nodded and grabbed Jon's hand. They waved to Lauren before leaving.
/*/
Colby stared at his reflection in the long mirror that was mounted on the wall. After the girls had got their hair and make up down, Sarah and Colby headed back to their room to get dressed for the ceremony. While Sarah was occupied in the bathroom, Colby had changed into his suit. He had to admit, he was really nervous. This was the first time that they would be at a WWE event together. He hoped that it would all run smoothly. The last thing he wanted was for Sarah to receive any hate especially if he was the cause of it just because they were together.
Colby snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the bathroom door open and Sarah emerged. His mouth dropped open and his eyes widened as they scanned her up and down. She was wearing the royal blue, satin, sweetheart dress that had cross straps across her back and a jeweled bust. Colby was speechless.
"How do I look?" Sarah asked timidly. Colby locked eyes with her as he walked over and placed his hands on her hips.
"You look beautiful."
Sarah smiled as a blush covered her cheeks, making him chuckle.
"Thank you. You look very handsome. Who knew you could scrub up so well."
Colby rolled his eyes playfully as she checked him out. He was wearing some black pants that were kind of tight (not that she didn't mind), with a royal blue shirt and a black tie as well as his suit jacket that had one button done on it.
"Very funny, sweetheart. I think you've been hanging around Brook to long cause that was cold."
Sarah rolled her eyes and looped her arms around his neck.
"Oh relax, I was joking."
"Whatever you say, Brooklyn. I mean Sarah." He smirked while Sarah rolled her eyes.
"If I'm Brooklyn then that means you're sleeping with her and Jon would definitely kill you."
Colby laughed.
"I was just kidding sweetheart. You're nothing like Brooklyn. You're not crazy." Sarah laughed as Colby smiled and leaned in closer, pressing his lips to hers softly. Sighing contently, Sarah instantly responded as their kiss deepened. Things were getting heated when Colby's phone rang catching their attention.
Breaking apart, Sarah used her thumb to wipe off the excess lipstick that clung to Colby's lips before he picked up his phone. Looking at the caller I.D, he groaned seeing Claudio's name. Accepting the call, he raised the phone to his ear.
"Hey man what's up?" Colby asked with a sigh. He hated that the Swiss superstar chose that moment to call him.
"Well we're all in the lobby waiting for you and Sarah. When are you two planning on joining us?" Claudio's accented voice replied.
"We'll be down in a minute."
There was a few sounds before another voice came over the phone.
"Hurry up Lopez. We don't wanna wait because you can't keep your hands off Sarah. Jeez, you and Jon need shock callers." Bryan chastised playfully. Colby laughed.
"Whatever you say goat man." Colby smirked as he hung up, not waiting for a response. Putting the phone in his pocket, he looked at Sarah.
"Ready babe?" Sarah nodded and grabbed her clutch. Both made sure they had everything they'd need before heading out of their room and down to the lobby. Once they got down there and Bryan hit Colby for the goat joke, they all piled into the limo that would take them to the venue.
Sarah's nerves started to rise as they pulled up twenty minutes later. Like he sensed her uneasiness, Colby leaned over to whisper in her ear.
"You're gonna do great, Sar. I promise. I'll be with you the whole time." Sarah turned her head and just nodded. They shared a quick kiss before getting out. Like he promised, Colby held her hand the entire time as they walked into the arena and was shown backstage where they would wait before walking the red carpet. When they got there, they heard Brooklyn and Jon.
"Jon stop it!"
"It's loose!"
"It's loose because you're tugging on it."
Sarah and Colby both laughed as they found the two. Brooklyn had her hands at Jon's neck, fixing his tie.
"There, now leave it."
Jon rolled his eyes and settled his hands on his wife's hips as Sarah and Colby walked up to them.
"Hey guys." Brooklyn turned and smiled.
"Hey. Sarah you look beautiful!" Sarah smiled as she hugged her best friend.
"So do you Brook. And Jon you clean up nice."
"I wish this thing was over so I can get out of this monkey suit." All three rolled their eyes.
"We haven't even been here an hour."
"Brooklyn, you weren't there when he had to wear it for the Slammy's. As soon as we got backstage, he had his coat and shirt off." Sarah laughed and Brooklyn shook her head.
"These things make me uncomfortable." Jon said in defense of himself.
"Well you look handsome." Jon smiled at his wife as Paul and Shawn came up to them.
"You guys look beautiful." Paul said, kissing his daughter and god daughter's cheek.
"Thanks." Colby and Jon said, making him roll his eyes. Shawn hugged his daughter before Brooklyn.
"Now this shouldn't have to be said, but I expect you four to keep your hands to yourself tonight. We're on live t.v and we don't need to see you guys sucking face." Both couples rolled their eyes.
"Yes dad." They all replied.
"Now if the old man here is done bugging you guys, Brook, Sarah, we have a surprise for you guys." Sarah and Brooklyn smiled.
"What?"
"Follow me." Shawn said as Paul just grumbled about how Shawn was older than him. Brooklyn, Jon, Sarah, and Colby followed the older men to the back room where they kept all the inductees.
"Barbie, Daisy!" Brooklyn and Sarah both smiled as they heard the all to familiar nicknames. There was only one person that called them that. They smiled as their uncle, Kevin Nash walked over and wrapped them up into a big bear hug.
"Uncle Kevin!" Kevin laughed and kissed each girls head.
"Wait, wait, wait. Daisy and Barbie?" Jon asked, very confused. Brooklyn, Sarah, Kevin, Paul, and Shawn laughed.
"They're the nicknames I gave them. Sarah is Barbie because of the hair and she just reminded me of her. And Brooklyn is Daisy after Daisy Duke shorts because that's all she used to wear during the summer giving her poor father a heart attack." Brooklyn laughed as Paul shook his head. He always hated the shorts she'd wear but it didn't matter to her. She liked them. It was even funnier when all her uncles would buy her a pair when they took her shipping just to make her father angry.
Jon and Colby chuckled after hearing the reasoning behind the nicknames.
"How are you uncle Kevin? Nervous?" Brooklyn asked.
"Nope for once I'm calm." Kevin smiled.
"What about your speech?" Sarah asked as Colby placed an arm around her waist.
"I've got it memorized and have written it on my hand for good measure." He raised his left hand, letting them all see the writing making them laugh. Kevin chuckled and put his hand down as his phone started ringing. Excusing himself, he took the device out of his pocket and looked at it. A frown formed on his face when he noticed who was calling. He immediately pushed the end button, rejecting the call and returning the phone back to his pocket. When he turned back around, everyone raised en eyebrow.
"Scott." He mumbled quietly, hoping neither Jon nor Brooklyn heard him but they did. Brooklyn tensed which was noticed by everyone. Jon walked over and placed his hands on her hips.
"Relax darlin. He isn't here and he won't be." Brooklyn nodded as he kissed her forehead. Her shoulder's dropped, just feeling relaxed by Jon's touch and his deep voice. Everyone smiled at them before Kevin turned to Sarah and Colby.
"So Colby, what are your intentions with my niece?"
Colby' eyes widened and he shifted uncomfortably.
"Uncle Kevin!" Sarah chastised, embarrassed.
"You knew it was coming." Kevin shrugged, as he, Paul, and Shawn all grinned.
"Kevin, leave my daughter alone." They heard. All turned to see Rebecca and Stephanie walking their way. Brooklyn hugged her mother as did Sarah.
"Oh come on Bec, I'm just teasing." Sarah turned at her mom.
"Mommy, he's teasing me." She stuck her bottom lip out in a pout, making everyone laugh. Rebecca hugged her daughter.
"I'll take care of him sweetie." Sarah laughed as she stood back up straight and grabbed hold of Colby's hand.
"Okay everyone, we need to get into position. Jon, Colby, you're interviews are as soon as you get out there. Colby, you're up with Matthew. Jon, you're with Renee." Brooklyn rolled her eyes.
"Great." Jon kissed Brooklyn's hand.
"No worries darlin. You'll be right there with me." Brooklyn nodded as their mother ushered everyone to their place. Jon kept a tight hold on Brooklyn's hand as they stepped out onto the red carpet. Camera's were flashing as Jon wrapped his arm around Brooklyn's waist and they both smirked. The fans cheered when they saw them. Jon turned and whispered in her ear.
"I wanna leave already."
Brooklyn laughed and shook her head.
"You're doing fine babe. Just a few more pictures." Jon nodded as they took another one, this one for the WWE's Instagram.
Meanwhile, Sarah felt her heart racing as she stepped out with Colby. She was shocked to see so many people.
"Wow."
Colby smiled down at her and squeezed her hand.
"You okay?" Sarah smiled up at him and nodded.
"Perfect." Colby smiled and pecked her lips before they took their pictures and headed over to where Colby would be getting interviewed. As they got ready, Sarah kept her hold on Colby's hand as they put his mic on him.
"Well, well, well, look who we have here." Both turned and Colby smiled seeing his friend, Matthew Polinsky or known in the WWE as Corey Graves walking up to them.
"Hey Matt. Who knew you could clean up so sharp?" Matthew rolled his eyes.
"Everyone." He turned and smiled at Sarah.
"You must be his girlfriend, Sarah." Sarah smiled and nodded shaking his hand.
"He's told me a lot about you. You're more beautiful then he described." Sarah blushed.
"Thank you. He's told me a lot about you too."
"Knowing him, he told you I was a dick didn't he?" Sarah laughed as Colby smirked.
"I didn't lie." Matt laughed as they got the one minute warning from the camera man.
The group talked for another minute before they got the cue from the cameraman. Sarah's grip on Colby's hand tightened as the red light on the camera turned on, telling her they were live.
"Here I am with Mr. Money In The Bank himself, Seth Rollins."
Seth smirked as he held Sarah's hand.
"Thank you Corey. It's a great night tonight." Corey nodded.
"Now Seth, you go head to head against the Viper, Randy Orton tomorrow. How do expect to conquer the legend killer?"
Seth snorted.
"It's simple Corey, I'm going to destroy him. I'm going to rip the head off of the snake and show him who the face of the company is."
"And what about your Money In The Bank contract? Any plans to cash that in?"
Seth laughed.
"Now why would I share that? It would take the surprise out of everything. All I'm going to say is tomorrow, Randy and everyone else in the WWE Universe is going to learn who runs the place now."
Corey nodded and looked at the camera.
"Well there you have it ladies and gentleman. Be sure to turn into Wrestlemania tomorrow to catch Seth Rollins as he faces Randy Orton."
The red light turned off as Sarah let out the breath she didn't realize she was holding. Colby looked down at her and smiled?
"You okay?" Sarah nodded.
"Yea, I just hope I didn't look stupid on T.V." Colby rolled his eyes.
"Impossible sweetheart. Come on, lets go find our seats." Sarah nodded and let him lead her off.
Back with Brooklyn and Jon, Brooklyn had to stop herself from rolling her eyes as they walked up to Renee to get ready for Jon's interview. Renee looked up at them, her eyes zeroing in on Jon. She smirked and waved.
"Hi Jon. Wow, you clean up nice." Brooklyn tensed, seeing the look in Renee's eye. She wondered how her parents would feel if she took the blonde out before the show? Surely if it wasn't caught on camera she'd be fine. She felt Jon tense beside her as his grip tightened on her hand.
"Thanks. Can we do this?" He asked flatly, completely ignoring her advances. Renee smiled.
"Of course. Hi Brooklyn, you look nice." Brooklyn just looked at her with no expression on her face. They got their cue and Brooklyn forced a smiled on her face.
"Ladies and gentleman please welcome my guests, Dean Ambrose and his wife, WWE Diva Brooklyn. Now Dean, you're competing in a seven man ladder match tomorrow for the Intercontinental Championship. What are your plans for the match?" She held the mic out for him.
"It's simple. I'm going to kiss my children's heads, kiss my wife, then head down the ring and take what should be mine. I deserve this title more then anyone. I've worked hard for this and no body is going to take it from me. Not Bad News Barrett, not goat boy Danie Bryan, no one. The night is mine tomorrow. Right babe?" Brooklyn smiled and nodded.
"Well the best of luck to you tomorrow. I know many people will be cheering you on." She placed her hand on his arm, making both Jon and Brooklyn tense. Jon moved slightly so her hand would fall.
"Thank you." Was all he said as the camera turned off.
As soon as the light went off, Renee looked at Jon.
"So Jon-."
She didn't get to finish before Jon looked at Brooklyn.
"Lets go find our seats baby." He gave her a long kiss, making Renee scowl. Jon wasn't stupid. He knew Renee was trying to piss Brooklyn off and by the way she held his hand, he knew Brooklyn was pissed. So, he decided to get some revenge. He pulled away and smiled at her, getting one back.
"Okay." He nodded and pulled her away as Renee once again tried to get his attention.
"I'm going to kill her." Brooklyn said as they waited to be seated.
"How does someone even think it's okay to flirt with someones husband? Especially when they're standing right there?" Jon wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Baby, she was just trying to get under your skin. Don't let her. I only have and only will have eyes for you." He kissed her lightly. Brooklyn sighed and kissed him back, well aware of the cameras going off but neither cared at the moment. They pulled away and Brooklyn wiped the lipstick off his lips.
"I just hope the rest of the night goes smooth. This morning sucked and now I have someone trying to hit on my husband just because they don't like me."
"I know Brook but it'll get better. After this, we're gonna go party it up. Maybe I'll even get drunk enough to dance with you." Brooklyn laughed.
"That would make this crappy day a whole lot better if you did dance with me." Jon smiled.
"We'll see." Brooklyn laughed.
"I love you."
"I love you too." He went to kiss her again as her parents walked by.
"Stop." Her father ordered, not even looking at them as he walked past. Jon and Brooklyn just rolled their eyes.

Joe laughed as he sat at a table with all his buddies.
"It's good to see you again, Joe. How is Lauren?"
"She's good. She's here too. I got even better news." All his friends looked at him. "Me and Jonny met again. We've agreed to a fresh start."
All the older men smiled.
"That's great, Joey!" Joe's friend, Tim said smiling. They were all aware of the relationship Joe had with Jon and were happy to see they had found one another again.
"It is. It's great to have both kids again."
"How is he?" Joe finished off his beer before speaking again.
"He's good. He works for the WWE, he's married and has twins. He's doing really good for himself."
"Well you're gonna have to bring him around one of these days." Joe laughed and nodded before standing up.
"I'm gonna go get another one. Anyone else need a refill?" They all shook their heads and Joe nodded, grabbing his empty glass and heading to the bar.
"What can I get you sir?" The bartender asked.
"Another beer please." The man nodded and took the glass to fill it. As Joe waited, he tapped his fingers against the bar top. When he realized he was doing it, he laughed quietly to himself. Now he knew where Jon got it from. As he tapped, he heard a voice he didn't think he'd ever hear again. A voice that made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up and his fist clench. Turning his head to the right, he saw the last person he wanted to see. Her eyes were wide when she saw it really was him.
"W-what?" Joe scowled.
"What's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost, Kim."
