Night before Royal Rumble

Ted and Carly had arrived in Houston only hours earlier, and after a quick love making session in the shower, they were holding each other close in bed. "I love you," Ted stated, breaking the few moments of silence.

"I love you too baby," she replied, hugging Ted tighter. "Are you ready for tomorrow?"

Carly was referring to Ted's return to the WWE's first pay-per-view of the year, and his comeback victory against Randy for the WWE title. "I'm more than ready. It's been nice being off with you and Alex, but I'm kind of glad to be getting back on the road and in front of the fans."

"Do you even think they remember you?" Carly asked sarcastically.

"Hopefully! Besides, after tomorrow night, I'm going to be their WWE champion!"

Carly smiled as propped herself on her elbow, and then glanced toward the play pen on the other end of the room. "What's your greatest accomplishment-becoming champion or your family?"

Ted kissed Carly's forehead. "Babe you know that answer. My greatest accomplishment is you and Alex. Why would you ask a question like that?"

Carly shrugged. "I know your excited for this, but it just seems like its been the only thing on your mind lately. I mean, every other word out of your mouth is about your match with Randy or the title. It's kind of like you have forgotten about us."

"Of course I haven't forgotten about you guys. I admit, it's been on my mind alot, but I'm just trying to focus and get ready for it. You of all people should know I do that. I mean we practically went through training together."

Carly only nodded as Ted went on. "Besides, there is no one I would rather have by my side tomorrow night and help me celebrate. I was even asked by more than one person to make sure and come early to the arena tomorrow so they can see you and the baby."

"Who asked you that?" Carly asked.

"Oh let's see, there was John, Randy, Mickie, Maria, Eve, Cody..."

Carly giggled. "I'm sorry. I guess I was a little sensitive."

Ted leaned down and softly kissed Carly. "I want you to know something. No matter how many titles I win or how often I'm gone, you guys are always my first priority. I love you and Alex like crazy," Ted said as Carly smiled softly.

"We love you too."

The next morning, as Alex played in the play pen, Carly got the diaper bag ready for the arena. "Let's see, the stroller is by the door. I put extra diapers in the bag and a couple of outfits. The bottles are in the little cooler hanging on the stroller. Am I missing anything?" Carly asked herself.

"Well, you might want the baby," Ted said as he walked up to Carly with the smiley infant in his arms.

"I couldn't forget you!" Carly told Alex as Ted handed her the baby. They soon got him dressed, and then were all ready to go.

The drive to the arena was relatively short, and soon the DiBiase family was walking into the arena in Houston. Almost immediately they were bombarded with hugs of welcome.

The first to notice them back was Carly's good friend, Mickie James. "AHHH!" she screamed as she literally ran right past Ted and wrapped Carly in a tight hug. "I'm so glad to see you back! Alex has gotten so big!"

"Nice to see you to," Ted said sarcastically as Carly giggled.

"Sorry. It's good to have you back too."

After having a conversation with Mickie, Ted and Carly made their way toward Ted's locker room. "It's weird not to go to Legacy's locker room," he said as they walked right past Randy's locker room, and eventually found their own locker room.

When they walked inside, both were surprised to see gifts waiting for them on the bench. "Who are they from?" Carly asked as Ted walked closer.

Ted took out the card, and smirked when he read it. "This gift is for Alex DiBiase, the newest member of the WWE family. Congratulations, The McMahon family," he read out loud.

"How cute!" Carly exclaimed as she pulled out some new outfits and sandals for the summer. "When we see Stephanie, we'll have to make sure and thank her."

Ted nodded as they heard a knock on the door, and then Randy and Cody walked in. "Welcome back!" Randy exclaimed.

"It's about time you come back from the honeymoon," Cody said as Carly gave them both hugs.

"I know it. Ted got so annoying at home, I begged him to go back to work," Carly said sarcastically as Ted made a pouty face.

"Gee thanks!" he said with a smile.

"You know I'm joking," she said, playfully slapping him on the arm. Randy then slapped him on the shoulder.

"I want to be the first say congrats on your win tonight," Randy said.

"Thanks man. Is Sam about ready to have the baby?" Ted asked.

"Yeah, she's due in about 3 weeks. Alannah is ready to be a big sister."

The friends caught up for another half hour before it was time to start getting ready for the match. As Carly and Alex walked with Ted to the curtain, she could tell he was starting to get nervous. "Don't worry, Ted, your going to do great!" Carly said as she rubbed his arm.

Randy's music started, and then Ted turned to Carly. "I love you," he told her right before they kissed.

Carly smiled. "I love you too. Please be safe, and have a great match!"

Ted nodded as his music started, and could hear the crowd go wild for him. "I guess they haven't forgotten about me," he said with a smile plastered on his face.

"I told you they wouldn't. Now, go get yourself a belt!"

Ted kissed Carly and Alex both one more time before walking out into the arena, and the crowd went nuts when he finally appeared on stage, and looked toward the ring, seeing the scripted stunned look on Randy's face.

The match went on for about 15 minutes, and it was finally the moment. Ted covered Randy. 1...2...3! The crowd cheered as Ted lay in the middle of the ring, taking in the moment. When he got up, the referee handed him the belt and raised his hand in victory.

"The winner, and the new WWE champion, Ted DiBiase!" Lillian Garcia boomed through the microphone.

Ted stood in the middle turnbuckle and raised the belt high, a huge smile plastered on his face. After a few minutes of celebrating with fans, he made his way backstage where some of his co-workers congratulated him. He then saw Carly in the back in the mini-crowd, and smiled as he walked toward her.

"Congratulations baby! I'm so proud of you," Carly exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around Ted.

"Thank you...and I love you," Ted whispered as they quickly kissed.

"I love you too," Carly replied.
