Chapter 12: A wedding in the works.
Roman, went back to the garage and got the food bucket, he had bought. Then put the kitten food in it.
Machelle unpacked the bag, Roman had sat on the counter.
"You okay?" Roman said to her. Then came over and hugged her.
"Hm Hmm, just have heart burn again." Machelle said into his chest. "Sherri and I stopped off, at some restaurant and had Onion rings. I have tried really hard, not giving in to the cravings but, it's getting harder."
"Why are you ignoring them?" Roman said rubbing her back. "You don't have to. The doctor said, you needed to gain a bit. Because, you lost to much from the morning sickness."
"I know." Machelle said. "Do you know how hard, it is to go past a McDonald's and not go in? That is all I have been craving is junk food."
"I just bought a case of Ginger ale for you, you can try that for now. I also stopped at a pharmacy and got you these, they said you could take these while pregnant." Roman said handing her some TUMS and kissed the top of her head. "We can go to McDonald's tonight for dinner. I'm sure the boys will love it."
"These two boys, better have lots of hair." Machelle said putting her hand on her stomach.
"Why would you say that?" Roman asked.
"They say, that the more heartburn a mother has." Machelle started. "The baby, will have lots of hair on their heads. I don't know if it is true but, who knows."
Roman laughed and kissed Machelle.
Two weeks later it was Machelle's birthday weekend.
Roman gave her the Ring he had made, Machelle loved it. The boys got her a spa day.
Were she would be pampered for two hours, getting her feet and nails done and a mini massage.
After Machelle got dropped off at the spa, Roman took the boys to see a movie.
Roman didn't know if they would sit through the movie. But, the boys didn't even move or talk through the movie.
When she was done they picked her up, then went for lunch. Then home for a relaxing family day. Where they just watched movies and went for a walk.
The next day all Roman's family came over and brought lunch with them. They sat and talked and had fun, before all the hype of a wedding started.
The next morning, Roman had to leave for L.A and would be gone for a week.
Machelle had her ultrasound appointment that day. Roman wanted to be there but, she couldn't reschedule it for earlier because they were over booked.
Machelle got up, and made coffee for Roman and sat at the kitchen island reading her emails.
"You promise to call as soon as you know, Right?" Roman said coming into the kitchen. "I wish the appointment wasn't so, late in the day. This waiting is going to kill me."
"Yes, I will call you, as soon as I get home. It just won't be until later tonight. Just relax and do your thing." Machelle said smiling. "I told you before, the appointment is at three, Tia and Brittany are coming in at four, and we all have a hair appointment at five."
"Fine, I really hate not being there." Roman said hugging Machelle. "I was there with the boys."
"Don't be a baby and go do your thing." Machelle said kissing him. "After our hair appointment, your Dad is going to look after the boys for a couple hours. So, I can go and have dinner with the girls. Sherri is going to show the girls around town after."
"I thought they were going to the bar?" Roman said and hugged Machelle.
"They were going to but, things changed." Machelle smiled. Then changed the subject. "Lisa and the rest of my family, are coming in at five, on Wednesday night. Then we can have a good but, busy week with the family.
"I know that but, what changed?" Roman asked.
Machelle was just about to answer him, when the boys came down stairs.
"I'll tell you later." Machelle smiled and kissed him.
Roman gave her one more kiss, then went up stairs and got his gear ready.
"Mommy where is Sophie? I can't find her." Jake said. "Oh I got her, she loves El Torrito. Look Mommy she is cuddled up to him."
Machelle turned around and looked at the little ball of fur, cuddled up to the big dogs back. Mitzi was up on the cat post, sound asleep.
"I see her, come eat your Breakfast, please." Machelle said. "We are going to see the doctor and see if you guys, are having Brothers or Sisters. What do you guys think, we are going to have?"
Both boys sat at the kitchen island and then JJ yelled 'Brothers'. Jake yelled 'Sisters'.
Roman came down the stairs and started laughing. He knew both boys were excited about this whole week. With family coming and them being involved in the wedding.
Dean came over and picked up Roman. Then they left for the road.
Machelle called the designer and told him it was safe to come and start. An hour later there was ten people, in the Reigns household.
With two young boys wanting to help. The workers, were really good with them and gave them small jobs to do.
There were people moving the gym equipment down to one end. Then putting in wood floors, and people painting the walls.
Before they knew it, it was almost time to go to the appointment. The boys were going with them to the appointment. So, Machelle got them dressed and ready to go.
When they got to the medical centre, Sherri and the boys waited in the waiting room. Then the technician called them in.
Sherri got them to stand on a stool and they watched the screen.
At first both the babies had their legs in the way. Then JJ put his hand, on Machelle's stomach and then the one baby moved.
That is when they had a perfect picture, of what they were having.
The next few days, went by very fast.
Sherri, the boys and Machelle took Tia and Brittany on a mini tour of The Tampa Malls.
Tia didn't bring a lot of appropriate clothes, as she didn't think it would be as hot, as it was. So, they took her to the mall and she got more clothes.
Tia and Brittany stayed at Sherri's house, only because the boy's were noisy in the morning. Neither one of them minded the noise but, Machelle thought it was rude if they woke them up.
The Man Cave was done.
Dean had suggested that Machelle put the gym and Man Cave, separate. So you had to walk out of the gym and go to the Man Cave. He also suggested, to put a sauna and shower in the gym side.
Machelle also got Sika and Afa, to get some foam mats for the floor. So, the boys wouldn't get hurt when they were in the gym.
The gym, had mirrors at one end. So, Roman could see himself lifting. The boys barbells right beside Roman's bigger ones.
The boys already broke the gym in, by lifting their weights and wrestling on the mats.
When you walked out the gym there were glass doors, to go into the media room and that was the Man Cave.
It was two days before Roman was scheduled to come home.
Machelle was in her office doing schedules, she looked at the clock it was only 7:30. She got up and went down stairs. She had a craving for something sweet.
The boys had gone to Summer's house for the night, to play with her kids.
She was standing in front of the fridge for a few minutes and grabbed some strawberries. Not really thinking, that it would be the thing to satisfy her craving but, grabbed it anyway.
She had just closed the door, and saw someone was right behind the door, the berries went flying on the floor.
"You scared, the shit out of me." Machelle said holding her stomach. "Are you okay? That fight, looked really bad and all that blood, it was grouse. I can't believe Vince, gave the okay to that."
"I'm so, sorry babe. Oh, I forgot to take the bandage off." Roman laughed, picking up the berries that fell. "It's part of the story line. They are going to postpone the feud so, Dean can get married. When Dean gets back, they will start the feud again. We get almost two weeks off, because of the fight tonight."
"They couldn't have told you this, like say last week?" Machelle said kind of pissed off. "That would, have been a big freaking help."
"Babe calm down." Roman said smiling and grabbed her in for a hug.
"Sorry but, it would have been nice." Machelle said into his chest. "Thank god, I got your surprise done. Where is Dean? he's on my shit list, he could of phoned and warned me, that bugger."
"What present?" Roman smiled and fed Machelle a strawberry. Hoping to calm her down a little. "He's at home. I will text him, and tell him he's on the shit list."
Machelle grabbed his hand, after he texted Dean. Then she walked him to the gym doors.
"Okay, close your eyes and wait until I say open." Machelle said smiling and opened the doors. She pulled him forward a little. "Okay open, Happy Early Birthday, Ro."
Roman opened his eyes and saw the room, it looked awesome.
The gym was smaller but, he still loved it. It looked kind of like the gym at the Performance Centre.
"Wow, I love it babe." Roman smiled and kissed her.
"You have a bathroom, with a sauna and shower. I know it's smaller than it was before but, there is more." Machelle said, dragging him to follow her. She walked out the gym and opened the two doors at the same time. "This is why it's smaller. You now have a Man Cave to come home to but, the boys can be in here to. They have almost the same stuff you have."
When she opened the doors, Roman almost fell over, the room was huge.
As you walked into the room, there was a small bar with four stools. Behind the bar, was a fridge full of beer and juice boxes.
On the far wall on each side of the TV, there were cabinets from floor to ceiling. With his WWE figures of The Shield. Along with his football helmet from college and other nick knack things.
In one of the cabinets was a copy of his WWE Championship belt in it, and a copy of his Tag team belt, he had with Seth, all behind glass.
There were his trophies from his collage days, with his football Jersey. His Edmonton Eskimo's football jersey was on the wall in a case to.
At the other end was a pool table with a cabinet on the wall for pool cues.
"Do you like it?" Machelle said.
"Like it." Roman said looking around and hugged her. "I love it. Where did you get half this stuff?"
"I'm glad you love it. Your mom had the trophies." Machelle smiled. "The Jersey's I called in some favours. Did you see the picture of the 49ers? They all signed it. They also sent the carpet and some beer glasses. Sherri found the boys, the lazy boy chairs. There is an air hockey table coming, it will be here tomorrow."
"This is the best gift." Roman said kissing her. "So, you didn't call me to say what we are having."
"I did to. Check your messages." Machelle said smiling. "I didn't want to tell you over the phone, we are having Boys again."
"Boys again. Hmm Looks like we get to try again." Roman smiled and kissed her.
"You are such a pervert." Machelle smiled and kissed him back. "Enough of this mushy stuff, I'm starving. Come on, can you please drive me to McDonald's. I have a craving for chicken nuggets and their BBQ sauce."
Roman laughed then turned off the lights and walk back to the kitchen.
Roman then grabbed his keys and they drove to get chicken nuggets. Then they went and sat on the beach, in front of their house.
The next morning, Roman and Machelle went baby furniture shopping. They had bassinets for the new babies but, they needed cribs.
The boys cribs converted into their toddler beds. At the time they bought the boys cribs, they thought it was a great idea to buy the 3 in 1 cribs. That way, they would last them for a long time.
They decided to get the same set they got for the boys so, it was really easy. Then looked at other things. After an hour of looking they paid for the things, they got and left.
The furniture would be delivered the next day.
"So, I was thinking maybe we could go to dinner tonight, kinda like a family date night. Before everyone gets here." Roman said getting into the car. "We need some family time, before everyone comes. I was also thinking we could do a just us date night every week, What do you think?"
"That's okay with me but, what about the boys." Machelle said. "Your Mom and Dad, always take them. Not that I'm complaining. I love it they spend time with them but, I just don't want them to get tired out. I feel really bad, they have taken them so much. Summer had them last night."
"I already talked with Vanessa and Summer they said they would take them for a night. Mom said the same thing." Roman said smiling. "Mom and Dad love taking them but, I know what your saying and I agree."
"Can we stop at home depot?" Machelle said. "I was thinking of doing a project with the boys. We can get them all some flowers and a pot. The boys can decorate them with their hand prints on it. I know it's not big but, I just want them all to know, I appreciate them taking the boys. What would you think of sending your Mom and Dad on a vacation for their anniversary? It's coming up next month. I want to do something for them."
"I think, Vanessa, Mom and Summer would love the pots." Roman smiled. "The holiday, you would have to ask them but, I think they would love it. I'll call Vanessa, Summer and Matt and we can all split it. It can be a gift from all of us, for their Anniversary."
Roman smiled and grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it.
"They know we appreciate them." Roman said and kissed her hand again. "I will ask Dad about the trip, okay?"
"Okay, but, tell him to keep it a secret from your Mom." Machelle said smiling. "Do you think your family would want to come, on the Alaska cruise with us?"
"I don't know." Roman said. "I will ask them, when I call to talk to them about Mom and Dad's Anniversary present."
"I just thought they are family, now." Machelle smiled. "The more the marrier, kinda thing."
Roman smiled, he knew his wife had a huge heart and wouldn't want to leave anyone behind.
They stopped off at home depot and got four big pots, dirt and some flowers.
When Summer dropped the boys off, Roman talked to her about the Alaskan trip. She would have to talk to her Husband but, thought a cruise would be great.
Then they chatted about sending their Mom and Dad on a Vacation. She loved the idea, she also thought that Vanessa and Matt would love the idea to.
After talking with Vanessa and Matt, Roman called his Dad and put it on speaker so, Summer could hear what he was saying. Sika, agreed it would be great to get away.
Almost as soon as Sika agreed, Summer booked the trip. So, he wouldn't back out.
Three days, before the wedding, Cynthia had come over and dropped some of the things off.
The Pergola was decorated with Ivy, and fresh flowers would be added the morning of the wedding. Along with red and black taffeta.
The chairs, were all set up for the ceremony. They would be adding rose pedals, to make an isle the morning of the wedding.
They put a big tent up, for shade, and the tables for the reception were in place. All that needed to be done to them, would be linens and the centre pieces.
All the girls were sleeping over at Machelle and Roman's the night before the wedding. The guys were going to Dean and Sherri's place.
Two nights before the wedding all the guys took Dean out. They had taken him to a strip club for his Bachelor party.
The girls stayed home, and had a BBQ for Sherri. Lauren, Patty, Alma and Lynn, Afa's wife showed up.
After the boys went to bed, then the party started. Sherri got presents from all of them. Everything from Intimates and Lingerie to things for the kitchen.
They stayed up until late in the night, just talking and laughing.
The next night was the rehearsal dinner.
The rehearsal dinner was held at the Hyatt. Dean and Sherri, wanted them to have something different than a BBQ.
They couldn't go to the pub so, Cynthia had the chef do Pub style food.
The menu was fish and chips, steak sandwiches, beef dip, chicken nuggets and grilled cheese for the little kids.
They sat out, on the patio and had dinner.
