"Lora!" Jon yells. "Where are my knee pads? And my fresh shirt and jeans? And my boots?" "Up my ass Jon!" I yell back, walking out of the bathroom. "Jeez! Can't you look for anything?" "I left them on the floor after the house show" he moans, looking under the bed. "Exactly" I say, folding my arms and leaning on the doorframe. "They don't go on the floor, Jon. I packed them already." I turn my back on him and walk back into the bathroom to finish cleaning my teeth. "Well why didn't you say so?" he whines, walking in and sitting on the edge of the bath. I glare at him in the mirror. "Surely that should be the first place you check?" I ask, rinsing my toothbrush and putting it in the washbag. He shrugs. "I'm a man" he says, flexing his muscles. "Since when did we use logic?" Damn. He's got me there. "You nearly ready?" he asks, standing up. I groan. "I'm travelling with Denise" I say, looking at him. "She's kinda panicky about how people are gonna react." "Surely they're not telling anyone yet?" Jon asks, frowning. "I thought people wait until they're 12 weeks before telling people." I look at him quickly. "What?" he asks, frowning. "I can use google, you know." I smile. "I love you, dumbass" I say, walking out of the bathroom. "I love you too, sexy ass!" he yells before slamming the bathroom door. I shake my head and quickly pack my ring gear into a bag.
I've just finished packing when there's a quiet knock on the door. I zip the bag quickly and open the door, smiling as Nick walks in with Denise. "Look after them" he asks quietly. I nod. "With my life, Nicholas" I whisper. He sighs and looks at the bathroom door as it opens and Jon walks out. "Ready Ambrose?" Nick asks. Jon nods and grabs his bag. "I'll see you at the arena Mrs Good" he says, kissing me softly. "Indeed you will" I say. "We won't be far behind you, don't worry." He smiles and looks over at Nick. "Let's go Nemeth" he says, patting him on the shoulder and leading him out of the room. Denise waits until the door is closed before speaking. "I want what you two have" she says, slumping on the sofa. I laugh. "A psycho ex trying to wreck your marriage?" I ask. "Different house shows as soon as the tapings are over? A spider in the bath who Jon has named Gerald?" "Gerald?" she shrieks. I nod. "Uh huh" I say. "That fucker has clogs on, you can hear him walk. But, now he has a name, I'm under strict instructions not to kill him." "Oh jeez" she groans. "Actually, Nick and I seem perfect now." "Of course you're perfect" I say, sitting next to her. "And soon, baby will make three." She nods warily. "Denise?" I ask. She shakes her head. "It's all good" she says. "I'm just wondering how it's all going to work, I mean, Nick is on the road a hell of a lot..." "I know" I say. "And it will work, because auntie Lora says so. Don't forget, my contract is up soon. I'll be there, in the same situation as you, man on the road too." "You're really not going to re-sign?" she asks. I shake my head. "No intention of it" I say. "Well, not at this moment anyway. I think the patter of tiny feet is calling me. Jon too, actually. Did you know he's been googling it?" She looks at me in shock. "Holy shit" she says slowly. I nod. "I know" I say. "He knew all about waiting twelve weeks before telling people. Kinda shocked me. I think my husband is more ready than I give him credit for." She nods. "Ask him to help Nick" she says. "He needs all the help he can get." I smile and stand up, helping her up too. "Come on momma" I say, grabbing my bag. "Let's get to the arena. Our men need us."
"Lora! Lora!" the fans scream as we get out of the car. I smile and wave but I have no intentions of going over to them. Denise smiles as we walk into the building. "You're so not gonna give all that up" she says as I open the door. I nod. "Try me" I say, letting her walk in ahead of me. "Anytime, Mrs Good" Jon moans, ambushing me. I smile and kiss him, groaning at the screams from behind the fence. The door hasn't shut properly and we're in full view of the fans. "Ooops" he says, shrugging and kissing me anyway. I moan and drop my bag, running my hands through his hair as he pulls me against him hard. "I missed you" he whispers, resting his forehead against mine. "I missed you too" I whisper back, pulling him back down and kissing him again. "Ambroses" Hunter calls. "When you've finished your little reunion, my office, ten minutes." I stick my thumb up to let him know I heard him, but don't pull away from Jon. "I give up" Hunter groans, walking away. I hear Denise whisper something to him and he laughs. "Try it" he says. "Uh Jon" she says nervously. "I know Lora was supposed to be the one looking after me, but as you weren't there and I know how much she hates them, I looked after her. There was this huge spider in your bath, so I turned the shower on it and flushed it down the plug hole." "You what?" Jon moans, pulling away from me to look at her. "You killed Gerald? That's murder Denise!" "No" she says, high fiving Hunter as she walks off. "It's called getting your attention. Gerald is fine, you freak." I smirk and shake my head as she disappears around the corner. "Come on" I say, pulling on his arm as he glares after her. "Let's go get this meeting over and done with."
