A/N: I own nothing but the mistakes.
"I can't believe I let you talk me into this Phil."
"Come on Shawn this is going to be great trust me." Phil, tells Shawn with a pat to the back.
The both of them were currently at this gym, that a friend of Phil's had recommended. They were waiting on Mark and Matt to show up. Phil told Shawn he should get a quick start to training. So here they are at a gym with an actual wrestling ring in the middle of it. Phil thought Mark would be perfect to teach Shawn the basics. Especially, since Matt and Phil were both pregnant and Jeff was still currently on tour.
"I don't know about this Phil, maybe I should just go home, and wait till it's time to pick up the kids." Shawn said as he started at the seemingly humongous squared circle.
"Come on Shawn, no more quitter talk. You can do this I know you can. Look here come Mark and Matt now." Phil said as he sees the two men enter the gym and make their way over to them. They make there way into the ring.
"Hey guys, it's so good to see you," Matt greeted with a smile as he gave both Shawn and then Phil a big hug. "Are you ready to get to work and see Mark in his environment."
"Wow you seem to be in a great mood," Phil observed. "I know it's going to be cool to see Mark teach Shawn the ropes but you look way too upbeat."
"Yeah you look like you're positively glowing," Shawn smiled. "I remember that feeling."
"Yup it's his hormones. He's been like this since 5 this morning all incredibly happy and clingy and let me tell you it's been a serious pain in my ass," Mark stated.
"Oh you love it." Matt teased as he gave Mark a kiss on the cheek to which he responded by rolling his eyes.
"Anyway let's get this on the road," Mark said getting down to business as stood in front of Shawn. "So you really want to start a wrestling career."
Shawn clears his throat. "Yes it's something I've always thought about doing when I was younger but life got in the way."
"Yeah I can get that, "Mark empathized.
"What's that supposed to mean Mark," Matt questioned as he folded his arm and gave Mark a look.
"Nothing it means nothing okay," he insisted as he turned his attention back to Shawn. "So continuing on wrestling is a very strenuous career it takes a lot of time and energy. You have to be extremely committed to it and ready to give your all. That means less time with family and friends barely even getting a holiday in. So this is the last time I'll ask you. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Shawn looks to Phil then to Matt and then back to Mark again. "Yes I'm sure," Shawn agreed.
"Okay first I'm going to teach you a few basic holds and then were going to create you a workout routine to help get you in shape."
"Oh can I help with teaching Shawn some holds," Matt asked.
"Matt you don't even need to be in this ring right now you're pretty heavily pregnant and it would be safer if you probably sat in the outer gym area."
"But Mark that's not even fair Phil's pregnant too and you're not saying anything to him. Not to mention that I'm a valuable asset to help teach Shawn the ropes. I've probably been wresting just as long as you have, probably even longer."
Phil just smirked. "Well Phil isn't pregnant with my kid so I could give a rats ass if he stays or goes. And you may be right but I'm still not going to risk it."
"Ugh, fine I'll sit on the stupid outer gym area," Matt sulked. Mark held the ropes open so Matt could fit through as he sort of waddled his way over to a chair and sat down.
"Well it seems like he stopped glowing awfully fast," Phil noted.
"Yeah his moods change way too much for my taste but what can I do. So let's start with a simple lock up."
"Ugh," Shawn moaned as he unlocked the door to his house and limped inside before collapsing on the couch. Phil walked in behind him and closed the door and sat in the ottoman beside the couch that faced the kitchen.
"Phil I can't feel my legs," Shawn groaned. "Heck I can't feel anything. Why didn't you tell me Mark was such a tyrant!"
Phil just chucked. "He's your friend too. I thought that would be pretty obvious."
"I still can't believe I let you talk me into this."
"Come on Shawn it'll all be worth it just you wait," Phil restated then he noticed the time on the clock. "Wait aren't you supposed to be picking up the kids in a bit."
"No I called Bret and he said he was going to pick them up." But then a thought popped in him mind. "That also reminds me I still have to tell them about this Phil.
"Oh yeah that's right. What are you going to tell them?"
"Well I'm going to tell them their Daddy's going to be a wrestler."
"That's it? Just like that? Well that certainly doesn't have a wow factor too it. I mean come on Shawn you're going to tell them you're starting a wrestling career, you're not buying milk from the store."
"I don't have to make a spectacle of it Phil I'll just be straightforward and to the point."
"Well that's my babe always making a spectacle of things."
Shawn looked behind Phil and the owner of the voice who just walked through his front door. "Jeff?"
Phil slowly turned around not believing his ears until he indeed saw Jeff standing there duffel bag in hand. "Oh my god Jeff," Phil squealed as he rose from his seat and enveloped Jeff in a tight hug. "Jeff, how'd you know I was here? I thought you were going to be at least a couple more days."
"Babe your always here. I'm pretty sure we've got to the the point where you need to start paying Shawn rent," Jeff joked while Shawn nodded vigorously in the background.
"And well I talked to Hunter and put in a few extra matches so I could finish up the tour early so I could come home and spend time with my babies," Jeff smiled as he gently touched Phil's belly.
"Well aren't you sweet," Phil said as he pecked Jeff on the lips.
"So," Jeff started. "I want to know everything I missed." Phil sat back down in the ottoman while Jeff sat on its arm rest with his arm nestled on Phil's shoulders.
"Well I already told you about Shawn starting his wrestling career, but today he went down to the gym to train with Mark."
"Oh my god Shawn how was it!" Jeff exclaimed.
"Painful, very painful," he responded as Jeff and Phil shared a laugh.
They talked a little longer about Shawn's training, the rest of Jeff's tour and Jeff and Phil made an ultrasound appointment this coming Friday.
Soon enough the front door opened again and Cody and Kyra walked in and there faces lit up in surprise to see Jeff there. "Uncle Jeff!" both kids yelled in unison as they ran to him and gave him a great big hug. And then came the questions.
"Weren't you not supposed to be back until later?"
"Did you bring us anything?"
"Yes and Yes," he told them. "I wasn't supposed to be back but I worked hard and came back early and I got you each a little something."
He grabbed his duffle bag and dug around in it before grabbing things out "For Kyra an 'I love the UK' t-shirt." He said as he handed it to her.
"Thanks I love it," she beamed as she looked over the clothing.
"And for Cody, I got this really cool toy double decker bus."
"Awesome," He grinned.
"What bout me," A voice whispered. And there shyly lingering by the front door was Jacob
"Oh I can't forget about Jacob," he assured him and waved him over. He walked up to Jeff as he rooted around in his bag again. "And for little Jacob I got you this four leaf clover key chain.
Jacob fingered the keychain with his tiny hands looking it over.
"It's for good luck."
"Wank you," he said softly as he clutched his gift tight.
Phil just smiled at Jeff lovingly, thinking about how good he was with the kids and how great he'll be with their son or daughter.
"Guy's where's your dad," Shawn pipes in.
"He just got called away on an emergency and said Adam will be by to pick Jacob up later," Kyra informed him.
"I see," he said as he sat up on the couch. "Usually I would say we should all go out seeing as its still early and we're all here but I cannot move from this couch right now.
"Why daddy?" Cody questioned worriedly. "Did you get a boo boo?" Kyra also looked at him similarly looking for an answer. Jacob even gave a curious glance.
Shawn looked to Phil and then back to his kids. "Maybe a little one, you see today I went to the gym to train with Uncle Mark so he can help get me get in better shape."
"What do you mean daddy." Kyra asked.
"Well you both know what Uncle Jeff, Uncle Phil, Uncle Matt, and Uncle Mark do right?"
They both nodded.
"Well that's something that I'm going to try to do too. So how do you guys feel about that?"
"I think that's so cool," congratulated Cody as he hugged his daddy.
"What about you Kyra?"
Kyra who had found her shoes really interesting finally looked up at him. "I… um… oh my god daddy are you serious," said Kyra.
"Yes I really am honey," he admitted.
She opened her mouth only to close it then she just ran upstairs and slammed her door.
"So," said Phil. "I may be a little off here but I don't think she took that very well."
