Yay, we're finally caught up with the chapters!

"Oh, and Trish, you should see the front porch! There's a wooden swing hanging from the ceiling," Lilian gushed.
Trish grinned at her friend. "Lil, I am so happy for you! I had no idea that's what John had planned. I mean, he told me he had a present for you after he asked me to come to your party, but he didn't tell me what it was. I figured he'd just let you open it in front of all of us."
The smile on Lilian's face quickly faded. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be talking like this after you and Randy…you know," she said softly.
The Canadian shook her head. "Don't worry about it! Randy and I were like a two month thing. Besides, being with him made me realize how much I really missed Anthony."
The Latina diva sent her friend a soft smile and reached over, squeezing her hand. "Are you sure? I mean, I should still be more considerate."
"I'm fine Lily, I promise. Besides, you know how happy Anthony made me."
Lilian nodded her head. "You're right, just ignore my rambling."
"Don't I always?" the younger diva asked with an innocent smile.
"Remind me why I talk to you."
"Because I'm pretty much amazing and you love me!" Trish replied with a playful smirk.
"Yeah...those are just lies, but nice try."
Trish rolled her eyes. "You know you'd be lost without me!"
The two blondes giggled. "Alright, I've got to go get my stuff ready for the show."
"Okay," Trish said. As Lilian started to leave, she stopped her. "Oh, what are you doing tomorrow after you get done out at ringside?"
Lilian shrugged. "Nothing that I know of, why?"
"Just checking," Trish answered, smiling.
Lilian raised an eyebrow at her, but decided to leave it alone. She left the locker room after looking at herself in the mirror one last time. The blonde songbird made her way to the gorilla position, stopping when someone grabbed her hand.
"Think you can just go out there without wishing me luck?" John sent her a pitiful pout and slipped his arms around her waist.
"Would I ever do such a thing?" She cocked her head to the side and laughed softly. Already knowing what his answer would be, she continued, "Okay, so you don't have to answer that."
"Why? Because you know the answer is yes?" He nudged her playfully with his hip and leaned down pressing a soft kiss to her lips. "Be careful out there, okay?"
"I always am." She paused and smiled softly. "Just promise me you'll do the same."
"I promise. If anyone has anything to worry about, it's Adam, not me."
"That's what you said last time..." Seeing Chimel and Justin approach, she pulled back some. "See you after the show." With a parting smile she turned to face the other two announcers, playfully beckoning them with her finger. "Let's go boys."
--------------------------------------
"Jooooooohn!" she whined. "Let's go! I'm tired!"
"Just a minute, woman!" John finished packing his bag and then zipped it up. "Somebody didn't get their nap did they?"
She stuck out her bottom lip in a pout and sniffed.
"Aw, poor baby!" he cooed before kissing her.
"Tell me we're going to sleep tonight and then just drive the three hours to Bridgeport tomorrow morning…right?" she asked as they walked out to the car.
"Yeah, that works," he agreed.
She grinned. "Yes, finally, some sleep!"
Once they were both seated and the car was turned on, he looked at her. "Lil, you've been sleeping in for the past week at my parents' house."
"So? I need my sleep, I'm getting old!"
"Just remember…you said that, not me."
She reached over and slapped his thigh. "Jerk!"
"But you're the one who said it!"
"And you agreed!" She huffed playfully, and closed her eyes. "Wake me when we get there."
"Maybe I want to just leave you in the car," he muttered playfully, only to be flipped off by Lilian. "Is that an offer?"
"No and if you don't stop, you won't be getting any 'til we're married!"
--------------------------------------------
"C'mon Lily, rise and shine!"
Lilian groaned and rolled over, pulling the blankets over her head. "Don't wanna," she murmured into the pillows.
"But ya gotta!" He rubbed her back, trying to wake her up. "Get up, we have to be on the road by 9." He pulled the blankets off of her, laughing when she pulled her legs up to her chest.
"Nooooo!" she cried, reaching for the blankets.
"Fine, but if you aren't up when I return with some breakfast, you're going to wish you woke up on your own."
She mocked him before snuggling back under the covers. "Can't make me."
He shook his head and started walking towards the door. "We'll see about that."
15 minutes later John returned with breakfast, not surprised to see Lilian just like he had left her. He put the stuff down on the table and walked into the bathroom, filling up one of the cups with cold water. Walking over to the bed, he smirked. "Lil..." When he got no answer, he lifted the cup, dumping the water over her head.
Lilian screamed and jumped up. "What the fuc- JOHN I'm going to kill you! "
He snickered and moved out of her reach. "I told you to be up!"
"Yeah, well, I didn't think you'd dump water over my head!" She narrowed her eyes at him and climbed to her feet, walking over to the table. "What cha get me?"
"Food?" He grinned innocently pulling the bag away from her. "I dunno, you yelled at me."
"Give me the food!" She stomped her foot, acting like a five year old, but she didn't care.
"Someone is crabby this morning!"
"Nuh uh, I'm tired and hungry, now feed me." She sent him a pout.
"We can add this to the reason we aren't going to have children right now! You still are one," he joked.
"Hmpfh. I'm going to take a shower then!" She stalked off into the bathroom.
John chuckled to himself before sitting down to eat his breakfast. When the water turned off 20 minutes later, he wasn't surprised to hear Lilian call for him.
"John, I don't have any towels!"
"And what do you want me to do about it?"
"John!"
"What's the magic word?"
She grumbled something inaudible and then called out, "Please?"
He climbed to his feet and walked over, grabbing one of the towels. "I dunno Lily, I don't think I like your tone of voice..."
She grumbled and stomped out of the bathroom, grabbing the towel from his hands before she made her way back.
John chuckled and flopped back on the bed. "You have no patience!"
"You're not going to have something in a few minutes!"
He blinked, impulsively closing his legs. "Did I mention how much I love you!"
"Too late now." A few minutes later she came out of the bathroom, slowly making her way over to him. "Well?"
"You look gorgeous? No...uh, I know! Sorry!" He flashed her an innocent grin and sat up.
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
"Can we get going now? It's almost 9, you can eat in the car."
"Gee, how considerate!" She laughed and got up, making sure she had everything in her bags.
"Hey, you're the one that didn't get up when she was supposed to." He made a final sweep of the room himself and then picked up their bags. "After you," he said, holding the door open.
"Why thank you!" She kissed his cheek on her way out.
He chuckled softly and rested a hand on the small of her back as he guided her out to the car. Once they were both settled, he started the car and backed out onto the road.
----------------------------------------
Lilian shook her head, listening to DX after their dark match. Her eyes widened when they turned to her. "Oh God..."
"Now Lilian, last time we tried this you turned us down…so let's try this again, Lilian lift that shirt!"
She shot Paul a look, silently reminding herself to kick his ass after the show. "Sorry boys, not happening."
"Now Bridgeport, Lilian apparently needs some coaxing, so who here wants Lilian to lift that shirt?"
Much to the blonde announcer's horror, the crowd reacted with a large pop. She could vaguely hear a few of the fans chanting, "Flash us! Flash us!"
Paul and Shawn sent her an innocent grin. "Need some help?"
She moved her hands to the hem of her shirt and slowly lifted it up, revealing her bra underneath. The crowd went wild and she felt her cheeks heat up. "I'm going to smack both of you," she said to the members of DX.
The guys applauded her and wiped a fake tear away. "Our girl is growin' up, Shawn."
"It's a beautiful thing!" the Texas native said.
They went backstage and Lilian thanked everyone for coming. She gathered her things and headed back behind the curtain where several of her fellow divas were waiting. "…what's going on?"
Trish smiled and Torrie took her by the hand. "You have nothing to be worried about," Victoria assured her.
"Sadly, I think I do."
Trish and Maria exchanged a look before nodding their head. "Lift her up girls!"
Lilian screamed, struggling against her friends as they lifted her up and carried her off to catering. "What's going on?"
"You'll see soon enough, I promise."
"Trish..."
The Canadian laughed, telling the others to put her down. They led her over to where Candice was waiting, a birthday cake in hand.
"You guys!"
The divas laughed and began to sing 'Happy Birthday', once they had her distracted enough, Candice lifted the cake smashing it into the blonde's face. "Oops!"
Lilian screamed, and her jaw dropped in shock. "Oh my God! You all are so dead!"
"Aw, Lil, I'm so sorry!" Maria said, getting a single napkin.
Meanwhile, Trish motioned for Victoria to bring in a much larger cake, which she set on the floor. All of the divas grabbed Lilian and lifted her up. They brought her down on top of the cake, rolling her in it. Lilian kept screaming at them while they giggled.
A few moments later, John and a couple other superstars came running into catering. Once they saw Lilian covered in cake and icing, they started laughing as well.
"This isn't funny!" she protested.
John was the first to finally speak up. He sent the girls a playful glare. "I thought we agreed you guys would video tape it!"
Lilian's eyes widened. "...You knew about this?" She tried to climb to her feet, only to fall back down to the ground.
He hesitantly held out a hand to her. "Uh may- oof!" He groaned as Lilian pulled him down on top of her. "I should have seen that coming!"
The little blonde smirked and wiggled her body against him, getting him just as covered before she finally stood up. "Just for the record, I hate you all."
The divas laughed. "Aww, we love you too!"
Lilian grabbed some napkins, trying to wipe herself off. "What exactly was the point of this?" She laughed, shaking her head.
"We just wanted to tell you happy birthday!" they all said.
"Oh, okay, well then, I think for my present, I'd like a group hug!" Lilian reached for them, getting them covered with the icing. The girls squealed and squirmed, trying to get away.
"Sorry ladies," John said, clearly not apologetic at all. The other wrestlers seemed to share his feelings.
Lilian let them go and grabbed John's hand. "I suppose we should go get cleaned up."
John perked up, taking Lilian's hand as he led her to their locker room.
"You know…I kinda wish it was you that ended up in the harbor."
He arched a brow and glanced over at her. "Why's that?"
She shrugged and pulled her top off. "So I could dry you off."
He walked closer to her, rubbing her hips as he helped her remove her skirt. "Well, we can still get you all wet."
"I'm not the only one that needs a shower," she said, lifting off his shirt.
"You're right," he agreed. He took her by the hands, leading her towards the bathroom.
"I'm always right," she proclaimed confidently.
"Yes, how could I ever forget?" He smiled and bent forward, licking some of the icing off her collar bone, getting some on his nose in the process. "It's a damn shame we had to waste that cake."
"I still can't believe you were in on that!" She giggled and leaned up to kiss the bit of icing off him.
He grinned and moved his mouth back to her neck. "Trish threatened to kill me if I told you, I'm the innocent one...really."
She smirked and playfully pushed him away. "Shame, I have a weakness for the bad boys."
"Is it too late to change my mind?"
She tilted her head to the side as if thinking about it. "It depends…get your fine self in that shower and I'll decide."
