We're all sitting in the livingroom of Mike's condo, while Aly's busy talking to John on the phone.
"So...when are you going to be here?"
"I'll be there shortly, relax." John chuckles.
"You know me, it's hard for me to relax when I'm REALLY excited."
"So I've noticed."
"It's also been a while since we've seen you, since you got the hip injury at the house show.
We miss seeing you."
"I've missed you guys too."
"But you'll also get to meet our moms. They're flying in tonight too just like you."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. Mike and Alex's moms are coming too."
"But are you sure that you want to come with us for the dress shopping tomorrow?"
"Yes I'm sure. I think I can handle being around a lot of women for a couple hours."
"Alright, just checking." She says, and he chuckles.
"Did you check in at your hotel already?" She asks.
"Yeah, put my bags and everything in the room and then I caught a cab. I think we just turned onto your street." He replies.
"I'll send Dolce out so you know where exactly Mike's place is." She says then takes the phone away from her face.
"Dolce, go outside and wait for John so he knows that this is Mike's place."
"On it." I declare, jumping up and running out.
"Alright, she's on her way outside." She says back into the phone.
"Alright, see you in a few."
"Bye."
"You know when our moms get here, I think we should be prepared for a lot of hugging." Aly laughs.
"And squealing." She adds.
"Overall extreme happiness."
Mike and Alex laugh and agree.
"Guess who's here..." I say, walking back in.
"Sully!" Aly beams, jumping up from Mike's lap to hug him.
"Calm down there Boo." He chuckles, hugging her back.
"Sorry." She giggles.
"It's okay. Just take it down a notch a little bit."
"I'll try."
"She's just excited to see you since we haven't seen you since that house show."
"Yeah I know."
"Wade's got to learn to leave you alone. Thought he learned his lesson at TLC after what
you did."
"I thought so too but apparently not."
"But good news is he hasn't been bothering me, ever since he saw this..." I say, holding my
hand up and pointing at the ring, John snickers.
"Both of you come here, I haven't seen those yet." He adds, holding out his hand.
First I hold out my hand for him to see mine, and then Aly holds out her hand for him to see hers.
"Very nice. You made good choices." He says to Mike and Alex.
"Thanks." They both say.
"So have you made any plans?" John asks us.
"Oh of course." Aly nods.
"And...?"
"July 20th, and in Florida at Disney." She says about hers.
"Interesting."
"And for mine, it's going to be June 22nd and on a beach. But not just any beach, the beach where Alex took me for our first date."
"That's cool, adding a little sentimantal value to it."
"I thought it was perfect."
He nods and then both of our phones start buzzing.
"I think I know who that is."
"The momm-ays are hereee."
"Be prepared for the hugging."
"I'll go get them." Aly says, cringing a little bit.
"Hopefully I come back still breathing."
"I think you'll survive." I laugh.
"Hopefully." She laughs and goes out to get them.
"Alright, got to brace ourselves." I laugh and the guys laugh too.
My mom is the first one in , Aly walks in behind her with her mom still hugging her tightly.
"You okay over there?" I giggle.
"Uh-huh. Can't move my arms though."
"Well I better brace myself, because here comes my mom." I mutter to John.
He laughs and my mom wraps me in a tight hug.
"Hey mom." I smile.
"Hi sweetheart. Oh I'm so happy for you."
"Thank you. What did dad say when you told him?"
"He said he knew it was coming. He's very happy."
"I'm glad. Now there is someone you need to meet though, he's coming with us tomorrow."
Aly's mom lets her go and that's when they both notice John.
"This is John, he's one of our best friends...more like a brother to us."
They all say hi and the moms hug him.
"Welcome to the family." Aly mom jokes.
"Thanks." He chuckles.
The moms then hug Mike and Alex.
"Welcome to the family as well." They say to them.
"Thank you." They grin, and then their phones start to go off.
"Your moms are here now." I laugh.
"I got this." Alex says as he goes to the door.
"Brace yourself haha." I add.
"Again."
"I'll be fine." He laughs as he heads out the door.
He comes back a few minutes later with Carol and Gwen in tow. Mike's mom immediately rushes over to him and hugs him.
"Hi mom." He says breathlessly and Aly giggles.
"Ohhh I'm so happy!" Mike's mom exclaims.
Alex's mom hugs me.
"I'm so happy to have you as a part of the family." She says to me.
"I'm happy to be part of it too." I reply, smiling.
Aly's over beside Mike watching with giggles as his mom still squeezes him.
"Mom...can't breath here." He laughs.
"Sorry dear." She lets go.
"It's okay." He replies.
Then she goes and hugs Aly and she hugs back.
"It's good to see you."
"You're a part of the family now, so happy about that."
"Me too." Aly giggles.
"So do you know what you're all doing for the weddings?"
Everyone sits down.
"Well ours is going to be June 22nd on the beach where Alex and I went for our first date." I say.
"And ours is going to be July 20th at Disney in Orlando." Aly adds, motioning to herself and Mike.
"Awwww." They both say.
Later on in the night we all went to dinner, John and all the moms went back to their hotels afterwards. The rest of us went back to Mike's condo and got changed and went to bed. Want to get at least some sleep so that we're not tired for the dress shopping tomorrow. It's morning and Aly hears her name being called. She groans and burrows closer to Mike, hiding her face in his neck. She hears her name called again, but she just ignores it and lays there. Then she hears footsteps and she pulls the blanket over her head which causes Mike to stir since the blanket flops onto his face. She hears the footsteps stop outside the door, then hears another set of footsteps and they stop. Then she hears Alex and I talking outside the door.
"Let her sleep."
"But she always wakes ME up."
"Not lately. The other day, she let you sleep in remember?"
"...true..."
"Come on, step away from the door."
"Oh alright." I sigh.
Then she hears our footsteps leading away from the door. She sighs in relief and pulls the blankets back down, jumping a little when she sees Mike staring down at her with amusement.
"Good morning."
"Hi." She giggles quietly.
"I thought you were sleeping." She says to him.
"I was until I got a faceful of blanket." He says.
"Oops."
"Hiding from them?" He asks.
"Yes."
"You know, you didn't have to because they can't get in anyway."
"You locked the door?" She asks, laughing.
"Figure you'd want to sleep in today, not wanting to be woken up."
"Awww, you're so sweet." She smiles, leaning up to kiss him.
"I know. You can go back to sleep if you want." He says, after pulling back.
"For a little while anyway." She snuggles back down.
He wraps and arm around her and starts to go back to sleep himself. A while later there's footsteps outside the room again. The doorknob moves this time then stops.
"Aly, you got to get up. It's after noontime." I say from outside the door.
"We got to go dress shopping in a half hour."
"Alright I'm up." She yawns.
Then I tell her that everyone is meeting us at the store so that we don't have to worry about picking anyone up.
"Okay I'll be out in a few."
"Alright." I say, and she hears my footsteps go away from the door again.
"Now I have to move..." She sighs.
"Awww." Mike whines.
"I know but I have to go find a dress." She says giggling.
"I know." He says, letting her go so she can get up.
She gest up and goes over to her things.
"Are my legs really that interesting?" She asks him withouth turning around while picking her outfit.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"You're staring awfully hard at them."
"I'm not staring at them."
"Yes you are." She laughs, standing up with her clothes in hand.
"How could you even tell? You were turned around."
"Trust me, I could tell." She smiles mysteriously as she goes to change.
He shakes his head amusedly, before getting up himself and changing. She comes out and sets her old clothes down.
"It's going to be odd spending most of the day without you." She comments.
"I know, but I think you'll live."
"I never said I wouldn't. I was just mention that it will be weird." She pokes him while putting on her shoes.
"Are you just trying to start a poke war again?" He chuckles.
"No. Just emphasizing my point."
"Well I hope you have fun today."
"You too." She smiles as they get up and head out of the bedroom.
"Afternoon sleepy." I say from the couch.
"Hi to you too."
"And thank you for stopping her from waking me up earlier DC, even though she couldn't get in the room anyway." She adds
"You're welcome Windy." Alex chuckles.
"Ready to go?" I ask.
"Yup."
"Alright, we'll be back probably in a few hours...depends. But don't miss me too much." I say to Alex, kissing him quickly then getting up.
"I'll try." He laughs.
Aly gets spun around by Mike.
"The same goes for you too." She says, giggling.
"And like Alex said, I'll try."
Aly laughs and kisses him. We grab our purses and head out the door. We eventually get to the store, and when we get there everyone is waiting outside for us.
"Alright here we go. The moms all look like they're going to burst any second." Aly says.
"Well they're excited, you can't blame them haha."
"No but it's funny to see them like this.
"True. Looks like John is going to bust up laughing any minute now."
"He does." She agrees, snickering.
I shake my head amusedly, then we get out and walk over to them.
"Hi everybody."
"This is so exciting." Aly's mom says.
"I know Mom." She laughs.
"Well we're wasting time out here, let's go in."
We all file in and are met by a consultant.
"Good afternoon ladies...sir. What can I help you with today?"
"We have two brides." John speaks up putting a hand on both our heads.
"Oh, that is wonderful. Follow me."
We exchange amused look and follow behind him.
"Alright, so we have a lot to choose from. Who wants to go first?"
"You can go first." Aly says looking at me.
"Aright." I say to her.
"That'll be me." I say to the consultant.
"Alright. Do you have any specifics on what you're looking for? He asks.
"Well I am having a beach wedding."
"Okay, follow me and we'll get started!" He says cheerfully.
Aly and I exchange an amused glance, before I follow him. Aly leans against John, snickering.
"I think he may be more excited than any of us." John mutters to Aly quietly.
"I know." She giggles.
We go through each of the dresses he picks out for me. It came down to the last one that he had picked out, and once I tried it on, I walked out to everyone.
"That one." Aly says instantly.
"Wow you gave no thought to that at all." I laugh.
"She didn't have to. That one is amazing on you." John says.
Then come the sounds of 'yes' from the moms.
"I do like this one the best." I agree.
The consultant who's name is Ethan puts a veil on me and hands me some flowers to hold, to make it seem more real. The moms all start to get teary eyed.
"You're already starting to cry and it's not even the wedding day yet."
"But you look so pretty!" My mom says.
"Yes, that is the perfect dress for you, so beautiful." Alex's mom comments.
"I know, thank you."
"Alex is going to die." Aly grins.
"You know when we get back both Mike and him are going to be curious of what we got for dresses." I laugh.
"They will be." She agrees.
"So is this the dress?" Ethan asks.
"Yes, this is the dress." I nod.
Everybody claps and cheers. John whistles loudly, which causes everyone to laugh. They start to take my measurements. Once they were done, I go back in and change out of the dress and into my regular clothes.
"Your turn." I say to Aly.
"this ought to be interesting." She says amuseddly.
"Okay so where is your wedding going to be and do you have any specifics on dresses?" Ethan questions.
"Mine is going to be at Disney in Orlando. As for the dresses, nothing super poofy." She replies.
"Hmmm...alright follow me."
It takes a little longer to get through the ones he picks for her. She gets to one that is designed after Sleeping Beauty. She then walks out to all of us.
"That one definately suits you." I immediately say.
"It is a Kirstie Kelly for Disney dress, this particular one is modeled after Sleeping Beauty." Ethan explains as she steps onto the little pedestal thing.
"I like it." I add.
"I do too." She says, biting her lip and repeatedly turning and looking in the mirror from
different angles.
"You should definately get that one."
"Is this it?" Ethan asks.
"There's still one dress remaining."
She chews on her lip thoughtfully.
"Mike will definately see you as a princess in that dress."
Aly laughs and Ethan looks at us curiously.
"My middle name is a little reference to Sleeping Beauty and ever since I was a kid, I've been called Princess or some various name from that movie. My fiance found out and he likes to call me his princess." She explains, giggling.
"Awwww." Ethan says.
"I think I want to try on that last dress, just to be sure." She finally says after a minute.
Ethan nods and she gets down, disappearing back into the room to try on the last dress.
She comes out in the last dress.
"Hmmm, I still like the other one. But that one is pretty."
She studies the dress in the mirror.
"Sully you're being pretty quiet, what do you think?"
"Definately the other one." He smiles.
"Would you like to go put the other dress back on?" Ethan speaks up.
She nods lightly and steps off the pedestal. They go back to the dressing room and after a few minutes, she comes back out in the Sleeping Beauty dress. Ethan does the same thing with the veil and flowers like he did to me, and the moms start to get teary eyed again.
"Oh boy there go the teary moms again." She giggles.
"You look so pretty too!" Her mom exclaims.
"Thank you." Aly smiles, playing with the skirt.
They take measurements for her as well, and when they were done she goes and changes back into her regular clothes.
"Alright, what's next on the agenda?"
"Well in a couple more hours, we have a flight back home. How about lunch?"
"That sounds good."
"But of course before you leave for the airport, you got to say bye to Mike and Alex."
"Of course."
We start walking towards the front of the store.
"Thanks for coming today Sully." Aly says to John.
"You're welcome, both of you." He says, throwing his arms around our shoulders and squeezing us.
"You taking a flight back later too?" I ask.
"Mine is later tonight instead of being in the afternoon." He replies.
"Oooh more time to hang out."
"Yes." He chuckles.
We all thank Ethan for the help, then leave and start walking around, looking for a place to have lunch. We find a place and have lunch, mostly discussing wedding things though the moms occasionally interject questions about our jobs. We stuck around there for a while, before getting cabs and heading back to Mike's place. They're playing video games as usual when we walk in.
"We're baaack."
The boys pause the game and jump up, then rush over and hug us.
"I guess they missed us too much." I giggle.
"I think so." Aly laughs.
"So...what did you get?" Mike asks curiously, after letting her go.
"I'm not telling, you should know that."
"You won't find out until the wedding day." She adds.
He pouts and Alex looks at me.
"Uh-uh, that goes for you too." I say and he pouts too.
"Those pouts aren't going to work this time."
The moms and John laugh.
"What you do need to do is say bye to your moms and ours. They have to head back to the hotel because they're leaving soon."
They nod and go over to the moms. They hug thier moms first, saying bye to them before hugging out moms and saying bye and such to them too. We do the same and the moms leave.
"Videogames huh? I bet I can beat your butt in that game Mizanin." John challenges, chuckling.
"Bring it Cena, bring it." Mike retorts.
"Oh it's on." John says back.
"It's on like Donkey Kong?" I ask laughing.
"Yes yes it is." He agrees.
He, Mike and Alex go back over to the couch and sit down...Alex watching as John and Mike play. Then Aly and I look at each other.
"Okay now what?" She asks me.
"I don't know let them have their guy time I guess. We can go hang out outside until Mike and John are done trying to beat one another."
"We could go sit in the jacuzzi." She suggests.
"Oooh good idea."
We go and change, then we grab towels and drinks before stepping outside. We start the jacuzzi up and then get into it.
"Today has been fun."
"Yeah. It really actually sank in today that we're getting married."
"I know, it's unbelievable now right?" I ask and she nods.
"Never thought it would come this soon either."
"I know but it feels right."
"I know what you mean. We're both with someone who truely cares about us and all that."
"Exactly and I can't picture myself with anyone else anyway." She says.
"Until I got with Mike, I couldn't really picture myself with kids even though I knew I wanted them. Now sometimes my mind wanders and I can actually picture it."
"Awwww." I say and she flushes a little.
"Especially that one day where you razzed me."
"Haha that was a good day."
"Haha very funny. I would have hit you if you hadn't been driving when you blurted that out."
She makes a face.
"It hasn't come up since then. He never did say whether or not he wanted kids." She adds, musing.
"Maybe it's one of those things where he needs a lot of time to think about it."
"Maybe."
"But it's also one of those things where when the time is right, it'll happen."
"True."
"Haha can you picture a little Miz running around?"
She nods, giggling.
"I for one haven't even given that idea much thought, I think it's too soon."
"Yeah I mean even though I've thought about it, the timing isn't really right at the moment. I always picture it more down the road anyway."
"Right."
As we were talking, the door opens and then we hear a bunch of splashing. I raise my eyebrow and see Mike, Alex and John in the pool and I shake my head amusedly.
"They are such children haha."
"Uh-huh." Aly agrees, laughing.
"So yeah, I can picture it later down the road too. Right now not so much." I continue.
"Yeah, especially since I have the title right now. It would be disappointing to have to drop it without at least being able to do so in a fair match, you know?"
"Right. Because if it did end up happening you'd have to take time off until you have the kid. You'd have to forfeit the title which isn't fair."
"Exactly and it'd be close to a year or maybe even more before getting back in the ring." She adds.
Little did we know with this conversation, Mike was eavesdropping, hearing everything.
"And who knows, some women don't go back to their jobs after having kids." She continues.
"I know, it all depends."
"Yeah."
"But enough of this talk, don't want to be talking about kids all night do we? Haha." I add.
"No." Aly laughs.
"Hey you guys, are you going to stay in there all night or are you going to come into the pool?" John asks chuckling.
"And what would you do if we don't?" Aly retorts, turning to look at him while resting her arms on the edge of the jacuzzi.
"I'll come over there and grab each of you one at a time and drop you in this pool." He threatens.
Aly and I look at each other.
"Go?" She asks me quietly.
"Hmmm, wait a few minutes see if he actually does what he says he'll do."
"Okay."
"I mean it." He continues.
We watch him, trying not to laugh.
"You lie John." I tease.
"Ohhhhh what now Sully?" Aly laughs.
"That's it." He says, swimming to the side of the pool to get out.
We scooch to the far side of the jacuzzi and move so we're sitting on the edge, still laughing. Then I whisper in her ear.
"You distract him, I'll push him back into the pool."
She nods and slides off the edge, moving to go around the pool.
"Haha, now it's easier to get you." He says to her, getting out.
She skirts around the edge and tries to stifle her laughter. I make sure he can't see me getting out of the jacuzzi. As he's busy going after her, I sneak up behind him and wait for the perfect moment to push him in. After a bit, I see that perfect moment and I push him, and into the pool he goes. We both double over laughing and it causes Mike and Alex to crack up. He comes up to the surface sputtering.
"Carly..." He trails off.
"Yes?"
"Run." He says simply, climbing out.
I squeal and start running around the pool multiple times. Aly stands there laughing.
"Alex a little help here." I laugh.
"Nope, sorry. You got yourself into that one and I'm not taking an AA." He chuckles.
"The worst that can happen is you get AA'd into the pool."
"Or you could just jump into the pool."
"How about no?" I say, stopping.
That was a big mistake because John caught up to me and went and pushed me. But I instantly grabbed him and he went in with me. That just makes Aly laugh harder and Mike and Alex are laughing as well.
"Oh what now?" I said, as we came up to the surface.
"That's what you get John haha."
He ends up laughing too.
"Alright you got me."
"But there's still one more."
"Uh-oh." Aly says, stopping her laughter.
"Mike, it's your turn..you get her."
"Aw come on, that's not fair!"
"You just don't want to do it, because you can't catch me without letting you." She teases.
"Ohhhhh." John cracks up.
"She told you Mike." I laugh.
"You just got dissed man." Alex adds.
"That's it." He climbs out.
She starts to move the other way, giggling.
"I will catch you!" He yells after her
She just laughs, running. He decides to go the opposite way of her. He plans on catching her offguard. He just walks casually around as she runs. She stops when she bumps into him and he grabs her.
"Hi." He smirks.
"Damn."
"Come on." He says, picking her up and putting her over his shoulder.
She reaches down and smacks his butt, laughing.
"Now you do deserve to be dropped in the pool." He laughs, stopping at the edge of the pool.
"Aw jeez."
He goes to drop her, but she clings to him.
"Hey, no clinging."
"Make me."
"No kisses for you later then."
"That supposed to torture me or you?"
"You."
"Uh...huh..."
"Let go of me."
"Nope."
"Here's an idea Mike, just jump in with her clinging to you."
"Good idea." Mike agrees.
"1..." I say.
"2..." Alex continues.
"3...!" John finishes.
Mike jumps in.
"Happy?" Aly asks when they come up to the surface.
"Yes, very." He smiles.
"That's nice."
We swim around for a while, before John gets out.
"I'd love to stay for longer, but I got a flight to catch soon."
"Aww. Well it was good to spend time with you. Thanks for coming."
"It was no problem."
"Hopefully we'll see you on Raw Monday." I add.
He nods and we get out to hug him and he shakes hands with Mike and Alex before he goes inside to get dry and leave.
"You know you guys are such children sometimes." I laugh, as I sit on the edge of the pool.
"But you love us." Alex grins.
"Yes we do." Aly adds.
"Even though you're goofballs." She finishes.
"But that is one of the many reasons why you love us." Mike says, wrapping his arms around her.
"I suppose." She giggles.
"You know what's funny to picture? A little version of me running around."
"That...would be interesting." She says kind of hesitantly.
"Grow up to be just like me."
"Uh-huh..."
"Miz Jr."
Alex and I snicker, Aly just puts her hand over her face.
"Be awesome just like his dad."
"You'll be the one I look at if his first word is 'awesome'."
"Well I would be the one to teach him that word as his first word."
"You so would." I laugh.
It suddenly dawned on me why he was saying all this stuff.
"Uh Aly?"
"Hmm...?"
"I think he knows."
She realizes what I mean and looks at him startled.
"I heard you two talking when I was in the pool." He nods.
"You sneak." She narrows her eyes.
"So you were discussing kids..."
"Yes..."
Alex then looks at me weirdly.
"Oh god no, not me...we were talking about her." I answer the look.
"Ah." He says, losing the weird look.
"Why were you talking about kids?" Mike asks curiously.
She explains what we had been talking about, her cheeks a little red.
"Ah, well you don't have to be embarrassed by that." He says, seeing the red color
appearing on them.
She shrugs, kicking her feet in the water.
"You're probably not the only one. Carly here probably thinks about it but denies it."
"Hey!" I exclaim.
"Well it's true. You have a habit of thinking about things, but denying it later on when you're asked about it."
I stick my tongue out.
"I am not denying anything right now."
Alex chuckles.
"Suuuuure."
"Alright I think its time to head inside and get dinner."
"Good idea, I was about to get up and push him in the pool." I say.
Aly laughs and gets up. We get up too and we all head inside since we're mostly dry right now from sitting outside the pool. We make dinner and eat while talking aimlessly.
"So we have a house show tomorrow night?"
"Yeah."
"And we're in mixed tag team matches. Just got the call today. It's me and Lyssa against Melina and Morrison, then it's you and Alex against Cody and Layla."
"Oh boy."
"Cody really? Great, I have see his face again."
"At least I get to kick his ass." Alex says.
"Be sure hit him in the face, he flips out haha." I laugh and Alex snickers.
"Nevermind, I can't wait 'till tomorrow night." I change my mind and everyone else laughs.
"Well we'll probably end up having to go to the gym tomorrow. Maybe we should get as
much sleep as we can."
"That's probably a good idea."
Aly and Mike get up, and start heading towards his bedroom. Alex gets up, but I don't...instead hold my arms out.
"My muscles are sore...carry me."
He chuckles and scoops me up. He walks into the room and sets me down, and I go over to my bag where what I wore the other night to bed is in. I grab it and head into the bathroom to change, and then after changing I immediately lay on the bed.
"This feels so much better." I sigh.
Alex pulls me over and rubs my back.
"Tired?"
"Maybe a little bit."
"It's been a busy day for you." He chuckles.
"Yes, it has. So many dresses." I laugh lightly.
"Well I'm glad that you found one you liked."
"Me too. I think you're gonna like it too. Aly said that you're gonna die haha."
He laughs.
"I'm sure you'll be gorgeous." Alex smiles.
"And I'm sure you'll be handsome as ever."
He chuckles a little and kisses me.
"Alright we need to get some sleep."
"Right, night." I say, snuggling into him.
"Night love."
Meanwhile Aly's just coming out from getting changed and she's just gotten under the covers in the bed. She's laying on my stomach, her hair falling to cover her face.
"Tired?" Mike asks.
"Kind of."
"Well you did have a long day."
"Mmm.."
"But you had fun right?"
She nods and giggles from under her hair.
"It was like playing dress up but more fun because it was wedding dresses."
He chuckles.
"I'm glad you had fun."
"I did. The moms all got teary."
"Well they're moms, they tend to do that."
"True." She giggles.
She feels his fingers drag across her back, moving her hair out of the way.
"If that got them teary, I hate to see how bad they get at the wedding or if we ever have to tell them about a baby." She says.
"They'll most likely be even more teary."
"Probably."
"Leave a box of tissues on their seats at the wedding." He jokes.
She laughs and smiles at him when he moves her hair out of her face.
"We'll probably have to give a bunch of tissues to our dads."
"You think two boxes would be enough or would we need more?"
"That should be good." She giggles.
"We'll keep that in mind. But for now, I think we should get some sleep."
She shifts and curls up against his side.
"Right. Night, love you."
He kisses her forehead.
"Night, love you too."
