A few weeks past since Ted was able to come home from the hospital. The night they got home, Ted and Carly had a long talk about everything that was going on in their relationship and marriage, and he was happy they are now closer than ever before. Alex was now close to 5 months old, and his first tooth was about ready to poke through any day.

With Alex about ready to cut his first tooth, it had been a long and grouchy day for him. As Ted was finally able to lay him down for the night, Carly slipped in the bathroom for a quick shower. She immediately felt better as the hot water ran down her body. A grin spread across her face as she heard the door open, and heard Ted sneak in behind her.

"Hey babe," he whispered as he wrapped his arms around Carly and kissed her bare shoulder.

"Hi. Did Alex finally go down for the night?"

"Yep. I think he wore himself out by being grouchy all day."

Carly giggled as she turned around so she and Ted could be face to face. She then wrapped her arms around his waist and nuzzled in his chest. "I can't believe your meeting with Stephanie is tomorrow," Carly said, sticking out her lower lip. "It's been kind of nice having you home again."

Ted leaned down and softly kissed Carly. "I know it babe. But after my meeting I have a surprise planned for you."

Carly raised an eyebrow. "A surprise? What kind of surprise?"

"I can't tell you that because that would ruin the suprise," he said as he pulled Carly even closer. "Come on, you know you love my surprises."

"I do love your surprises," Carly said with a smile.

"What do you say we finish up our shower, and just go to bed?" Ted suggested as he grabbed the soap and washcloth. "We are both tired and worn out."

"Sounds good to me," Carly agreed.

The next day in the middle of the afternoon, Carly was cleaning up the lunch mess in the kitchen when she heard a knock on the back door, and smiled when Jill popped her head through the door. "Hey Jill, how's it going?"

"It's going good. How are you?"

"I'm doing good. Alex just laid down for a nap and I am just cleaning up the kitchen."

"Well if Alex is sleeping it should make it easy to watch him," Jill said with a smile.

Carly turned to face Jill, with a curious expression on her face. "What do you mean watch him?"

"I am here to watch my nephew while you meet Ted for your surprise."

"Umm...ok."

"Go, go," Jill said as she literally pushed Carly out the door. "Ted should meet you in the driveway any minute."

"Can I at least change? I'm in gym shorts and a t-shirt for crying out loud," Carly asked.

"No your fine," Jill said as they both heard a horn honk from the driveway. "See now Ted is here. Everything will be fine here. You go have fun!" Jill said with a smile.

Carly knew it was no use in trying to fight Jill anymore, especially since Ted was waiting on her. She then walked through the garage, and into Ted's Ford Explorer.

"Hey babe," he exclaimed as he leaned across the center consil and quickly kissed Carly.

"Hey."

Ted then backed out of the driveway, and as he drove through the center of town and into the country, Carly got more curious. "Ok, will you please tell me where we are going?"

"You'll see," he replied as he glanced at Carly. He could tell she was getting more curious by the second. "Don't worry, you'll like it. I promise."

As Ted continued to drive, Carly slowly started recognizing the path he was driving. "Oh my God! Are we going to..."

Ted nodded. "Yep. We are going to our spot." When Ted and Carly were teenagers and Carly would come to visit, they would always visit a secluded bluff on Ted's grandparents' land.

"Oh my God, it's still as beautiful as the last time we were here." Carly exclaimed. Ted then pulled up the center consil so Carly could sit close. "I know its nothing special, but I figured we could use a little time to ourselves...to enjoy the quiet," he said chuckling.

Carly giggled as she rested her head in the crook of Ted's neck. "I remember when we were kids we would come out here all the time. You even asked me to your prom out here right?"

Ted nodded. "Yes I did. That was also the night we started messing around out here, but since it was so uncomfortable in the truck, we got that hotel room."

Carly smiled as they continued re-living memories. "Oh by the way, how did your meeting go with Stephanie?" Carly asked.

Ted shrugged. "It went good. I'll be returning in about 3 weeks, interferring in Jericho's match. Then, the following week, I'll be in a mixed tag match. It will be me and my partner against Jericho and Maryse."

"Who's your partner?"

"Well, Stephanie let me choose. I wanted to choose someone who I've partnered with in the past...someone I married almost a year ago...who's the mother of my son..."

"Wait wait wait," Carly said as she sat straight up. "You want me to be your partner? I don't even have a contract anymore. Do you know how long it's been since I've been in the ring?"

"I know, and I even mentioned you in the meeting. Stephanie liked the idea, and agreed to have you come on for a surprise appearance. She said she would even be willing to talk about a contract if your interested after the show."

Carly was truly shocked, and sat in silence as she took in the information. "Wow. Wait a minute...we are talking like a whole month of training. Do you think I'll be ready?"

"Well I have to get back to training to, so we can do it together. If we have to, we'll put in early mornings or late nights. It won't be no time and you'll be ready."

"Well...what about Alex?" Carly asked. "Who will take him while we train?"

"Carls, my mom and dad, both my brothers and their wives live nearby. Usually all we have to say is that we need a baby sitter and someone is always willing to help out."

"So, you really want me to be your partner for this particular match?"

"Absolutely I do. If you want to say no, I'll understand, but..."

"Ok."

"Your going to do it?" Ted asked, a big smile spreading across his face.

"Yeah. Starting tomorrow, we will begin training and within the month, I'll make my return. I'm kind of excited!" Carly exclaimed.

"That's my girl!" Ted replied as he kissed Carly's forehead and then her lips.
