A.N. So I'm finally updating more than once a year. Anyways thanks for all the reviews keep them coming. Sorry it's a short one but there's more coming. As always I own nothing, know no one, and am not affiliated in any way shape of form to the WWE

Five Years Later

"Happy Birthday dear Shane and Brandon! Happy Birthday to you." Every one sang. Both boys smiled and blew out the candles.

"Don't even think about it." Kayla warned when the twins started to stick their fingers in the cake.

She picked it up and brought it to the kitchen to cut it up and serve it. The boys got up and started running around with the other kids, while the adults talked and caught up, a few telling the kids to settle down.

"Hey!" Shane said and picked up one boy with each arm.

"Uncle Shane! When'd you get here?" They asked excitedly.

"I just got here and almost got ran down by you two." He said and set them down. "Mom…" Brandon yelled.

"Uncle Shane's here..." Shane finished.

"With presents." Brandon added.

"Not yet." She called back.

Shane made his way into the kitchen.

"Hey, need any help?" He asked.

"You wanna scoop ice cream?" She asked.

He shrugged,

"Sure." He said.

"Mom…" Shane said.

"is it time for cake yet?" Brandon said.

"Do they always finish each others sentences?" Shane asked raising an eyebrow. "Yeah." Kayla responded.

"Go tell every one it's time for cake… no, don't yell it go tell everyone." She said.

They ran off yelling it was time for cake. Kayla rolled her eyes and started bringing plates out to the table, Shane grabbed two and followed. Parents rounded up their kids and sat them down and gave them their cake and kept watchful eyes on them, others picked up plates and helped give them out, and some continued to talk declining the offers of cake.

"Hey Shane, didn't expect to see you here, I thought Vince needed you at the office?" Shawn said.

"No he has it under control, plus I wouldn't miss this party for the world." He said.

"So is he here?" Shane asked a few minutes later.

"Yeah he's with the boys right now." Shawn said.

"I'm surprised, didn't he miss their birthday last year?" he asked.

Shawn nodded, "Yeah but he came up to visit them a week later." He replied.

"You know he's training at UVW right now." Shane said.

"What? When did this happen? Does your dad know who he is?" Shawn said.

"Yeah, he's been there for a few months now, pretty good wrestler; agile, fast, timing's great, and hard worker. Dad knows who he is but he's good." He said.

"Kayla never mentioned it. Then again she really doesn't talk to me about him." Shawn muttered.

Paul and Mark came over and joined them.

"Hey what's up?" Paul asked.

"Did you know Josh was training at UVW?" Shawn demanded.

"No." They both replied.

"Yeah Shane here just told me, apparently he's been up there for a few months, and Kayla never said a word to me about it." He said.

"Aren't they together though?" Paul asked.

Shawn shrugged,

"Yeah but I don't think it's serious. They are two totally different people." The four men watched as Kayla walked over to join the boys and Josh.

There was no kiss or hug, no small affectionate gesture, just a look of acknowledgement and subtle movement.

"She deserves better." Mark growled.

Shawn nodded in agreement but sighed,

"Yeah well they had kids, it's not all about them anymore, it hasn't been for five years." He said.

"But is better for the kids for them to together for them or apart with people they love and still see their parents." Paul said.

"To be with people they love and still have both their parents in their lives." Shane said after a few minutes.

"They both deserve it." He added as an after thought.

Shawn sighed,

"Yeah they do, now they just have to figure it out."

Kayla was sitting next to Josh, they were smiling and appeared happy to everyone but were actually arguing in hushed undertones.

"Kayla, we've been through this a million times, I can't go, I have to get back to training." Josh said.

"Josh they will understand why you missed a couple days to be with your sons on their birthday, if they don't one word to Vince and they for sure will." She insisted.

"No, I want to get in based on my talent and abilities, not your connections." He said. "Do you think Vince would hire you because I asked him to? Do you think I'd even ask that of him?" She hissed.

"I don't know, can we not talk about this right now, your sons are right there." He growled.

"Our sons Josh, you were there when they were conceived." She retorted.

"If I remember correctly, you weren't so sure about that." He said.

"I wasn't but the fucking DNA test was positive you were." She said.

"Fuck you, Josh. Don't even bother, in fact why don't you just leave now, and once again have me explain to my sons why you aren't here. Don't worry I'll make up a good excuse, because they think you make the sun set and rise." She said and walked away.

"Daddy, is Mommy mad?" Shane asked.

"No, she's just a little stressed; she wants everything to be perfect for you guys." He said. Brandon looked at him then in the direction his mom had went,

"I love you daddy." He said.

"I love you too, I love you both very much, and I want you guys to know that." Josh said and kissed his boys on top of their heads.

He got up and went to find Kayla to finish their discussion.

"Why is mom mad at dad now?" Shane whispered to his brother.

"Dad's not staying, and going with us tomorrow." Brandon replied sadly.

Shane's face crumpled,

"So it's just going to be us and mom, again?" he said.

Brandon nodded,

"let's go find grandpa, and ask if we can open our presents now, Dad's going to be leaving soon." He suggested.

They both got to their feet and went to find their grandpa.
