It's Monday morning, and we're all up. Only because Mike and Alex are making a trip to the gym for the show tonight. Aly's still in bed, not really feeling too good. After Mike get changed, he sees her still laying in bed.
"You okay?"
She shakes her head.
"Tired and I'm not feeling so hot..."
"Well in that case, you can stay here and get all the rest you can okay?"
She nods a little. He grabs his bag, before walking over to her. He leans over and kisses
her forehead.
"Feel better."
"Mmm, thanks. Have a good workout."
"I shouldn't be gone that long."
"Okay. Love you."
"Love you too." He smiles.
Then he leaves and she snuggles back down into the covers and tries to get more sleep. I in the meantime have just come out of the bathroom from changing. I yawn as I put my pjs and other things back into my bag.
"Are you coming to the gym with Mike and I?" Alex asks as he zips his bag up.
"I may hang around for a bit, yeah." I nod.
"Alright. Ready to go then?"
"Yeah, I'm all set."
Alex and I leave the room, meeting up with Mike and heading out to the gym.
"Where's Aly? Isn't she coming?"
"She's not feeling too well so she stayed in bed." Mike replies.
"Awww."
"Well hopefully she'll feel better after a while." Alex says.
"I hope so."
Mike nods, frowning a little.
"Don't worry Mike, I'm sure she'll be okay."
"I can't help but worry a little." He shrugs.
"I know, you're entitled to worry."
He nods, and we all go into the gym. Mike and Alex go do what they got to do, and I just sit down somewhere and hang out, listening to my music and messing around on my phone. Some time passes and back at the hotel, Aly decides to get up. She orders some room services and it gets brought up. She pays and then sits down to eat. However, before she even takes a bite, the smell of the orange juice reaches her and her stomach turns violently which sends her bolting to the bathroom. Once the sickness passes she gets up and rinses out her mouth, trying to figure out why that happened. She starts thinking, and then on instinct feels her forehead for a fever, but it feels fine. She then realizes that she hasn't been coughing or sneezing. She thinks for a long time about what else could be causing her to get sick. Then it clicks.
"Oh god."
She dashes out of the bathroom and starts grabbing clothes out of her bag to get dressed. Once she's all set, she grabs whatever she needs, and heads out to the store. She goes to the store and gets what she needs. When she gets back to the hotel, she runs into me as she comes out on our floor.
"Hey...feeling better?"
"Um...kind of."
"You look worried. What's wrong?"
"I'll tell you in the room." She says as we get to the rooms and go into her and Mike's.
"Do me a favor though, go dump out the orange juice because if I smeel it, I'm going to get sick again."
I nod and grab it, heading into the bathroom and pouring it down the sink, throwing the bottle out in the trash. I come out of the bathroom and she pulls a box out of the bag from the store. She shows me the front of it with a sigh.
"You mean you think you're..." I trail off.
She nods silently.
"Are you sure? I mean this isn't just one of those quick colds is it?"
"I haven't been sneezing or coughing."
"Oh, well I guess you should get it over with and find out for sure huh?"
"Yeah..." She sighs, going into the bathroom.
She comes out a minute or two later and flops down in the chair.
"Says to wait 10 minutes so I'm going to try eating now."
I nod and keep an eye on the time, so I can tell her when 10 minutes is up. 10 minutes pass and I poke her.
"I'm afraid to look."
"You don't look, you'll never know."
"I know..." She mumbles, getting up and going in there.
I sit out in the room for a bit, before getting up and coming into the bathroom.
"So? What does it say?"
"...positive..."
"Really? Are you gonna tell Mike?"
"Well yeah, I mean he deserves to know..."
"Right. When are you gonna tell him?"
"When he gets back I guess."
"Want me here when you tell him? Or are you gonna be okay on your own?"
"You here. I'm still kind of in shock right now..."
"Alright, no problem."
We go back out into the room and sit back down at the table. She goes back to eating even though she's not fully paying attention to the food.
"Looks like you're gonna have to talk to Stephanie about this. You know, considering you
have that match tagging with Kelly tonight."
"Right. I'll go ahead and call her now." She says, reaching for her phone.
Then she dials her number, and waits a while before she picks up and says 'hello'.
"Hi Stephanie, its Alyssa."
"Oh hi Alyssa. What can I do for you?"
"Um...well we kind of have a situation here. I'm not going to be able to wrestle tonight."
"Are you injured?"
"No..."
"Alright. Well, tell me what the situation is if you would please."
"I'm pregnant."
"WHAT?" She hears Hunter yell in the background, and she can't help but laugh.
"You heard me Hunter."
"Well thank you for letting me know of this. As for tonight, we'll call it an undisclosed injury and we'll replace you with another diva." Stephanie interjects.
"Alright. I think we should leave it as undisclosed until Mike and I are ready for everyone to know."
"Of course, we can leave it like that until then."
"Okay, thanks Stephanie."
"You're welcome, you have a good day."
"You too." She says, before they hang up.
"Well at least you don't have to worry about getting hurt anymore."
"That's true."
"Now all we have to do is wait for Mike to come back."
"Right." She bites her lip.
"Hey, it's gonna be okay. I'm gonna be right here with you."
"I know, I'm just scared what he's going to think."
"He'll probably be shocked like you were, but he loves you and he'll be happy about this."
"I hope so..."
Then about a few minutes later, the door to the room clicks and opens, Mike walking in and closing the door behind him. Aly starts chewing her lip nervously, twisting her rings around her finger. He turns around and sees us sitting at the table, and then walks over.
"Hey, I see you're feeling better. Or well it looks like it." He says to her.
She nods a little.
"What's wrong?"
"Um..."
"...you may want to sit down for this."
He looks at her strangely.
"...why..."
"Just trust me."
He pulls out the empty chair at the table, and sits down.
"Alright...so what's going on?"
"Well..um...I figured out why I've been feeling so off."
"A cold right?"
"No."
"Then what is it?"
"...um...well..." She chews her lip again, looking really nervous.
"You can tell him, it's okay." I say to her quietly.
He looks between us with a really confused expression.
"...you're going to be a daddy." She tells him quietly.
"...I'm going to be a...wow." He says, clearly hearing her say that.
She looks up at him through her lashes, still chewing her lip.
"When did...oh right your birthday."
I start laughing quietly and she blushes.
"You know what that means? There could be a mini version of me in there." He smiles, pointing at her stomach.
"Could be."
"This is great news."
Mike gets up and pulls her out of her chair and into his arms. She squeals a little as he lifts
her off the floor with a huge hug. I take this as my cue to leave, so I get up and disappear through the connecting door to the rooms.
"Hey you." Alex smiles as he looks up.
"Hey." I smile back.
"Is she feeling better?" He asks as I step close enough for him to wrap his arms around
me.
"Kind of..."
"What do you mean 'kind of'?"
"Well she doesn't have a cold first of all. No coughing, fever or sneezing. So that leaves only
one thing..."
Alex looks confused.
"Plain and simple...Mike's gonna be a dad."
"Whoa, no way."
"Way." I nod.
"Wow. Hey that means we get to be aunt and uncle." He points out with a grin.
"Oh yeah, that's right. We will be."
"Should be interesting."
"Yes it should." I agree.
The hours pass and we were soon on our way to the arena. We pulled up and got out, Mike and Alex grabbing their things from the trunk. When we get inside they go straight to the locker room to get ready for the show, and we wait outside the room waiting for them to finish, and for the show to start.
"Wonder who Stephanie picked to take my place in the match." Aly muses as we wait for Mike and Alex.
"Watch it be someone we don't like haha."
"Haha maybe. You know Kharma will probably make an appearance since its the only Diva
match of the night."
"Right, thank god we're not in that match."
"Yeah."
Mike and Alex come out just in time because the show starts and we stay in the general backstage area, just in case we would need to go out to the ring for any reason. The intro starts and then immediately goes out to the ramp where Del Rio is in his fancy car, and gets out onto the ramp with his fireworks behind him.
"Spicy Dorito." I laugh.
Aly cracks up laughing.
He walks down the ramp, and grabs a mic as he gets into the ring.
"My name...my name is Alberto Del Rioooooooooooo!"
"No, it's Spicy Dortioooo."
She laughs even harder, hanging onto Mike.
"But of course, you already know that. You also know that my destiny to be the World Heavyweight Champion was stolen. Was stolen from Edge. But hey people, destiny can be delayed but cannot be stopped. That's the reason why I don't understand why last week we waste so much time with The Rock. Last week should've been a celebration for the rival of Alberto Del Rio."
"Spicy Dorito" I correct again.
Aly's still laughing and she leans on Mike as she wipes her eyes.
"The WWE Champion is John Cena. But you people know that there's no one better than
me. So the man...the man who should face John Cena is..." Del Rio trails off, motioning to Ricardo.
"...Alberto Del Rioooo!" Ricardo finishes
"Spicy Doritooo." I correct once again.
"Stoppp. It's too funny." Aly gasps.
Then all of a sudden Rey's music hit, and Del Rio flips out as he walks out and down to the ring, and gets into it.
"Alberto Alberto Alberto. Alberto you're no more worthy of a championship match than I am.
You see we both got drafted from Smackdown to Raw. And I'm gonna tell you the same thing that I've said before. Your destiny isn't to be a champion, or to be the greatest of the great. You're destiny...and you should be proud of this...is to one day be the personal ring announcer of Ricardo Rodriguez."
"Pffft."
"But in order to determine the number one contender, I'm challenging you to a match tonight."
Mike motions for us to start heading to the curtain, and we follow.
"Rey Rey Rey Rey Rey. Listen to me. If by earning you mean...beating you for the thousandth time, Rey I'm here..." Del Rio is cut off by Mike's music.
We walk out with him and Alex, down to the ring where Mike picks up the special mic of his and then we get into the ring as his music fades. Aly and I stand off to the side, away from Del Rio and Ricardo.
"Really? Really? Really? Really? Really? See I know Teddy Long's incompetent decision making led to things like this on Smackdown, but here it doesn't play. Draft or no draft, this is still my show. The WWE Championship is MY title."
"And if it wasn't for the staggering incompetence of my personal assistant last week, I would be standing here still the WWE Champion." Mike continues, turning to Alex.
"Hey hey hey hey hey hey...listen. All that I know, is that you had your chance, and you didn't get the job done. So now listen, you go to the back of the line." Del Rio retorts.
We exchange looks and roll our eyes.
"No no, see...I DID get the job done. Last week I DID pin John Cena. Last week I was announced the WWE Champion! Then that prejudice referee reversed the decision. I had no prior knowledge that Alex Riley was gonna do what he did. But when he threw the WWE title in the ring, I instinctively picked it up and used it on Cena before he could use it on me!"
"True." Aly mumbles.
"But I shouldn't be penalized. I want a legitimate rematch against John Cena. You two...you two can fight each other in a Taco Bell parking lot for all I care." Mike says about Del Rio and Rey.
Aly and I both laugh quietly.
"The only person that should be facing Cena for the title is ME!"
"The truth...has set me free!"
"Oh no, not him too." I say as we all look to see Truth coming out now.
"Oh god. Just go away." Aly sighs.
He comes out and down the ramp, getting into the ring.
"I see we all can't get along. Since ya'll out here spitting a little bit of hate...let me spill a little bit of hate of my own. You know what I hate? Hospital food."
"Is he on crack or something?" I raise an eyebrow.
"I think so."
"Hospital food. It's...it's dry as a desert, it smells bad, and it tastes bad. And you never get it
when you really want it. You know who's eating a whole lot of hospital food right now? John Morrison."
"Ohhhhh."
"Now he makes sense."
"That's because last week, I did this to him." Truth says, and they roll the footage from last
week.
"Ya'll see that? Seriously, I put a beating on him so bad, he has to have surgery today. If you don't believe me, it's on right now. And I would like to take this time to shout out to John Morrison. P.S...hospital food gives you constipation."
Aly shrugs slightly and leans back against the ropes.
"You know what else is true? I don't have any problem...making sure every last one of ya'll is hooked up to the same IV. And you can share the same bedpan too. It doesn't matter...if you're some pretty boy, from LA. Kermit." Truth says, getting into Mike's face.
"He's from Ohio idiot." Aly mumbles.
"It doesn't matter...if you're some superhero wannabe from San Diego...bottlenose. And it doesn't matter if you're some pompous, Mexican fish jumper..liver lips." He says to Rey, and then Del Rio.
We laugh a little when he insults Del Rio.
"When an angry black man is talking, ya'll need to shut it up!"
"Ooooh, so scared...not." I laugh.
"And that goes especially for all of ya'll. I'm not waiting in line like I did to pass 10 years. Oh
no, when I see an opportunity I'm gonna take it. You kick my dog, I'ma' kick your cat. The only person that's going to face that lily white John Cena, is gonna be me! And that's the truth."
"Yeah okay." Aly mutters and rolls her eyes.
Truth starts arguing with Del Rio and Rey, that is until the GM chime rings out through the arena.
"Greaaat." I sigh.
"Oh boy."
"Can I have your attention please. I have just recieved an email from the anonymous Raw general manager on my iPad. And I quote. Despite all the compelling arguments to be number one contender, I find only 3 who deserve it. So tonight, we're going to have a triple threat match to determine who will face John Cena for the WWE Championship at Over The Limit. Miz, I agree with your assessment. You do deserve a rematch, so you are in."
Aly and I high five.
"Alberto Del Rio, you are the crown jewel of the WWE Draft, so that means you're in too. As for the third competitor..." Cole trails off, before another chine rang out.
"And I quote. Sorry, I got so excited I hit send too soon. As for the third competitor, by virtue of his victory last week, the third competitor in tonight's triple threat match is...Rey Mysterio."
That's when Truth's face changes, and he goes back to looking scary.
"He's gonna snap again."
"Yup..."
"Again? That's happened to me again! I'm better than every last one of ya'll! Especially YOU!" Truth goes off, getting in Rey's face.
"You see Truth for once, I'm agreeing with the general manager. You shouldn't be involved in the match. Now that's...what's up! That's...the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."
We nod and Aly puts her foot on the bottom rope, prepared to get out if things go south.
Truth backs up and drops the mic, getting out of the ring, talking to himself as he heads up the ramp and backstage.
"Now I want you two to listen to me very carefully. I don't care what you've accomplished or
didn't accomplish in your case Del Rio...on Smackdown. What you two need to learn is that here on Raw, you're day laborers, you're chump change, you're benchwarmers. Because the star of this show...the entire WWE Universe and the next WWE Champion is the..."
"...Alberto Del Rioooo!" Ricardo cuts Mike off.
"Spicy Dortio." We both say.
Del Rio then does his signature wink and laugh, before Alex attacks him. This is our cue to get out of the ring. Both of us get out and back up, out eyes still on Mike and Alex. Then Ricardo goes over and attacks Alex, making him roll out of the ring. That gets Mike involved and he attacks Ricardo, followed by Del Rio attacking Mike, and sending both of them over the top rope. We both help Alex up and Aly turns her attention to Mike. I help her with Mike, and we move quickly up the ramp before Rey jumps and lands on Del Rio outside the ring. We get backstage.
"You two okay?" We ask.
"We're good." Mike replies.
"Good."
During the commercial break we head to the room, walking in and sitting down on the couches, as we wait. Alex shifts and lays down with his head in my lap. It doesn't take long for the commercial break to be over, when we came back the Bellas were in the ring for the only diva match of the night.
"Oh look, it's the Dummies."
After their music faded, Eve's music hit and she came out.
"They picked her to replace you?"
"Apparently."
Once she got to the bottom of the ramp, Kelly's music hit and she came out last.
"She's the only good one there."
"Yeah." Aly agrees.
It basically stayed as Kelly and either one of the twins in the ring. They tried the Twin Magic switch thing to cheat, but Kelly caught them and pulled one of them back in the ring. Eve took care of the other, and in the end Kelly won with a rollup reversal. She and Eve celebrate, but not for long because Kharma's music hit...like always.
"I told you." Aly says to me.
The Bellas try to hide as Kelly and Eve are still in the ring when Kharma gets closer. As soon as she's up on the side of the ring, the Bellas run away. Kharma gets into the ring, and Kelly gets out, leaving Eve to fend for herself. Eve tries to go after Kharma but is met by a powerful clothesline.
"Stupid."
"That was really dumb."
Then Kharma quickly gets out of the ring and stands in front of Kelly. She runs away, and Kharma chases her, but stops at the end of the ramp. Once Kelly was gone, she turned and got back into the ring and did to Eve what she did to Michelle, Alicia and Maryse within the past few weeks.
"Hah she keeps beating on people we don't like." I say amusedly, running my fingers though Alex's hair.
"I know, isn't she great?" Aly laughs a little.
"Just until she comes after us. Well it won't be you because of the little one growing inside you, but there's still me."
"True..."
"Well when it comes to that, if I can I'm gonna run. I don't care."
"I wouldn't blame you."
Another commercial break before the next match, and it was gonna be between Kane and Mason Ryan. The match wasn't much after the commercial break. Kane had control over the match, until Mason got the upperhand. Of course in the end of the match Nexus tries to get involved, after Show knocked out Punk. Then he went after every member of the Nexus. That leads to a double chokeslam to Mason Ryan from Kane and Show both.
"Serves them right."
Then we see that John is gonna speak tonight, about god knows what before going to a commercial. But when we came back, Santino was in the ring being his usual, dorky self. That was short lived when we all heard 'Excuse me!'.
"Ohhhh go away."
"I know I've probably said this before but god she has one of the most annoying voices I've ever heard."
"No kidding."
"Excuse me! Ladies and gentlemen, please help me welcome the man who represents the future of the WWE. The new and improved Dolph Ziggler!"
"Future of the WWE? Yeah, okay."
"She wishes."
Mike and aly have shifted so that he has his back to the arm of the couch and she's reclined between his legs, he back against his chest. His arms are around her, their left hands laced together while his right hand rests on her stomach with her right hand laying on his arm. Ziggler walks out for the match against Santino, and gets into the ring. The match was ridiculous, and pointless. In the end Dolph won, of course. The screen changes again to show the matchup for Mike's match. After the commercial break, we see what happened on Smackdown when Christian lost the title to Randy last week. Then we see Truth backstage with his things, heading out to head tot he hotel until he's stopped for an interview. And he has definitely gone off the deep end, and is whole buckets of crazy now.
"Yeah definitely snapped."
"Uh...yeah."
The screen fades to another section of backstage where we see Zack and John...fist
pumping together. Zack keeps fist pumping as John walks away and we go to a commerical.
"Only him." I shake my head amusedly.
"That's Shortbus for you."
"I know you're comfortable, but Alex and I have a backstage segment to do in the locker room after the commercial break." Mike says to Aly.
"Awwww."
"I'll be back." He says, moving her and then getting up.
"Okay..." Aly pouts a little.
Alex reluctantly gets up.
"And just so you two know, we're only arguing onscreen." Alex warns us.
"We know, because he apologized for everything before." I say, pointing to Mike.
"Just making sure you know." Mike nods.
They give us a kiss, before walking out of the room and down to the locker room. And after the commercial break they replayed the match from last week, before going to the locker room where they were.
"Look look okay? I thought I was doing the right thing. I had the whole thing set up perfectly, I was doing it for you. I had the title over here, I ran around to distract the ref, I had the briefcase, and when I raised your hand I didn't realize that was the hand you had the title in. It wasn't my fault that the referee reversed the decision. It wa..."
"How stupid do you get? I told you what to do. But you get in the ring and you hug me? You hugged me?"
"I'm sorry."'
"Then...then you raise my hand, the hand with the WWE Championship. When you knew it was behind my back!"
"I didn't know that was the hand...I'm sorry."
"You know what? You're nothing more than an amoeba. Do you know what that is? That is
the lowest form of life, you don't even have brains."
Aly and I watch this, mildly amused at seeing them argue when they aren't even mad at each other.
"I'm sorry. Miz I am truely sorry."
"You know maybe you're one step above that. Maybe a troglodyte. You know, you're all jacked up but you have the brain of a orangutan. Stupid."
We laugh.
"Watching them argue when they aren't mad is funny." Aly giggles.
"I know." I add, giggling as well.
"I...am sorry."
"You know...I don't even know why I allow you in my presence."
"Good thing we aren't there with them, because I don't know if I could keep myself from laughing."
"You know what? I'm gonna make it up to you." Alex says, after thinking for a few seconds.
"How're you gonna do that?"
"I'm gonna show you. Watch THIS." Alex adds, walking offscreen and all we see right now is Mike staring off in the direction he left.
"Oookay..." I trail off.
"Bet you he's going out to challenge Cena or something."
"Well either way, I'm going out there with him." I say, getting up as we watch Alex walk through the backstage area from the locker room.
"Alright, be careful."
"I will." I say, opening the door and looking down the hall.
Once I see Alex round the corner, I walk out and wait for him to get closer. Once he does, I walk alongside him and we make our way to the curtain, then emerging out onto the stage. When we do walk out, there's a mix of boos and cheers and we walk down the ramp. Alex gets into the ring first, before holding the ropes for me to get in. Then he walks over and grabs a mic to talk.
"I know what you people think about me, and I really don't care. The only people in my life that I care about is Carly..." He starts to say, before putting an arm around me.
"...Sadie, and The Miz."
"And I'm gonna prove it to you right now Miz. Because I'm challenging John Cena to a match."
"Alex...are you sure? I mean come on." I question.
Alex nods at me lightly.
"Fine, if he gets you in that AA, I'm saving you." I sigh.
"Just be careful."
"I'll be fine."
"Alright."
"What's the matter John, you can't hear me? I'm standing right here. I know you're back there. Oh no no no no, I get it. I'm the Miz's poor little apprentice, and I couldn't do you any harm." He continues as John doesn't show, and the 'Cena' chant breaks out.
"Let's go John. Get out here Cena!" Alex yells, then throws the mic up the ramp angrily.
I just raise an eyebrow and shake my head. After a few moments, John's music hits and I sigh while leaning against the ropes. Alex takes off his shirt while waiting for John to come out and then hands it to me. Then John emerges on the stage, and I just glare as he comes down the ramp. I stand over by Alex in the corner as John runs and slides into the ring.
"I got your back on this. You're not gonna get hurt. Not on my watch." I say, before kissing him quickly and climbing out, then jumping down.
The bell rings after the music fades, and then they circle each other. Then another 'Cena' chant starts up, and Alex is telling them all to shut up. He goes right after John, but he goes around and grabs Alex around the waist and basically trips him. Alex gets back up and goes after John a 2nd time, locking up with him. John gets him and flips him over, by his neck. Alex gets back up again and goes back over to John, attempting to kick him but John grabs his foot. Alex is hopping on one leg, begging John to not do what he thinks he's gonna do. He takes him and throws him against the ropes, and flips him over again with one arm. Alex quickly gets up, holding his lower back as john starts running at him. He moves out of the corner, making John hit it chest first. Alex leans against the ropes and rams right into John with a powerful clothesline. He quickly goes in for the cover, but John kicks out. But Alex immediately starts throwing punches, trying to wear him down. He goes for the pin again, and John kicks out. They both get up, and Alex hits John in the back of the head, sending him to the mat. John slowly gets up and Alex twists his arm, putting it around his neck, then lifts him up and slams him down onto the apron. He goes for the cover again, and John kicks out for the 3rd time. Then Alex quickly gets him in a headlock, holding it until another 'Cena' chant breaks out.
John slowly gets to his feet, and that's where I knew that it was all over. He got the momentum, did his signature move, then got him on his shoulders. I go to get into the ring, but John stops and looks towards the ramp. I look too and I see Mike walking out. John then has his back turned to me as he continues to look over at Mike. I knew the AA was coming eventually, so I quickly got into the ring behind John and pull Alex off his shoulders. Of course this causes the match to end in a DQ, but still. Alex I go to get out of the ring. But John ends up tripping Alex and gets him into the STF, where Alex immediately starts tapping out. I of course heard everything and turned around to witness this.
"John enough! You won the match by DQ! Let go!" I exclaim, pulling on him and trying to make him let go.
John refuses to let go though, which makes me even more mad.
"...oh you'll let go alright." I mumble to myself, before rolling out of the ring.
I look under the ring for anything that I can use to make him let go. I find a chair, and slide back into the ring. He still hasn't let go, so I raise the chair and then it comes in contact with his back. John immediately lets go and rolls away in pain. Alex scrambles out of the ring and I drop the chair before getting out. I help Alex walk back up the ramp, and we head backstage, walking back into the room and sitting down on the couch.
"You okay DC?" Aly asks.
"I'll be fine." He nods.
"Good."
I'm just sitting there with my arms folded over my chest, and I keep mumbling things angrily in Italian. Alex pulls me into his lap and hugs me to him, whispering soothingly in my ear. I do manage to calm down a bit, then bury my face in his neck to calm down more. He rubs my arm with one hand and my thigh with the other. Mike walks back in shortly after, and sits back down next to Aly on the couch. She immediately snuggles into him. After the commercial break, we see Cole in the ring and he's doing the usual by saying 'can I have your attention please'.
"No, so shut up."
"I have a very important announcement to make tonight."
"Well good for you." I mumble, my face still buried in Alex's neck.
"We don't care."
"Having defeated Jerry 'The King' Lawler not only at Wrestlemania, but last Sunday at Extreme Rules, I've realized that I can't get any higher. So after much deliberation, I've decided to publically announce tonight...that I am retiring from in-ring competition."
"Coward." Aly rolls her eyes and puts her face against Mike's chest.
"Now I know I know that I'm retiring as the only undefeated superstar in WWE history. I also know that I'm one of the most beloved figures of all time, I get that. But when I finally go into the WWE Hall Of Fame, I want to be inducted as a dual broadcaster AND in-ring competitor."
"Pffft fat chance."
"Hahahah what a joke."
"Oh hey, hold on a second there Michael Cole." Jerry says, getting up and heading to the ring.
"Wait Lawler, wait one minute. Need I remind you...need I remind you that by orders of our general manager...they still stand. You lay a hand on me, you will be fired. That stipulation still stands Lawler."
"I remember that rule, but fortunately that rule did not apply to The Rock last week."
"So while you're out here boring these fine people into a coma, I thought I would come in here and liven things up a little bit. Can we roll the footage of last week's historic handshake?"
The footage of course plays and everyone was laughing and cheering and whatnot.
"Now...it's very funny, very entertaining. But you know what? I just wanted to say that if the day were to ever come Cole, that you were inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame, then life as we know it would cease to exist."
"I don't think I would go that far but it would be pretty retarded."
This little thing goes on for a while longer, before Cole rushes back into his little glass box of his, and stands on the desk inside.
"You couldn't let me retire in peace could you? You had to do it again, you had to steal the spotlight. What is wrong with all you people from Tennessee? What makes all you people from Tennessee a bunch sore losers? Take for example Al Gore. The man lost to the greatest president in the history of the United States, George W. Bush fair and square."
"Now he's just rambling..."
"Really annoying." Aly sighs.
He goes on and on and on, before changing the subject about Mother's Day yesterday, and then takes a shot at Jerry about his dead mother. That's when Jerry snaps and gets out of the ring quickly and goes over to Cole, to try and attack him. But that's short lived since Swagger comes from nowhere and attacks him. We go to another commercial and when we came back Swagger was now in the ring for a match against Kofi for the United States Championship. The match was long, but in the end Kofi ended up winning and retaining the title. Jerry comes walking out from backstage and takes Swagger out of the ring and throws him over the barrier, before going over to Cole's little box. He immediately goes for the door to the box, and seeing that he can't get in, he takes the chair behind him and throws it inside the box with Cole screaming 'no'. Then Jerry walks around and through the hole in the box, he grabs Cole's tie and starts tugging on it, making Cole's head bounce off the glass. All the refs come down and restrain Jerry, but he keeps a hold on the tie, and then we see Cole's face squished up against the glass.
"Hahahahaha squishy face!"
Jerry manages to let go and the refs seperate him from Cole, and keep him at bay. Swagger comes out from the crowd and opens the door to the box to make sure Cole is okay. He drags him out of the box and over to the barrier so that he could rest a little. Then he grabs a mic.
"You did it now! Oh you did it! Jerry 'The King' Lawler, you're fired! You weren't supposed to touch him, you did it, you're fired!"
"Hey, Swagger I never touched Michael Cole, I just touched his tie!"
"Gotta love loopholes." Alex says.
"You know what? You just made Michael Cole a first ballot hall of famer. On behalf of
Michael Cole, he accepts."
Swagger helps Cole up and they walk away up the ramp. Cole can't believe that Swagger accepted the match and he starts freaking out.
"Oh get over it you big baby."
"Coward."
Once that was all over, other things were shown and before we went to a commercial break, we see that up next is that triple threat match involving Mike.
"We have to move again don't we." Aly mumbles as Mike shifts.
"Unfortunately..."
She sighs and pulls away from him, getting up.
"Good luck out there." I say to Mike as he gets up too.
"Thanks." He replies.
"We'll be back." Aly says, as they head out the door.
They walk down the hall and she feels his arm slide around her waist and his hand moves toward her stomach. She grabs his hand and slides it back over to her hip.
"No tummy touching in public. Not yet." She says quietly.
"Not until everyone knows about this." She adds, and he pouts a little.
"You can be as touchy as you want when we get back to the hotel." She tells him.
"Good." He smiles, kissing her cheek.
She kisses his cheek in return. They head to the curtain just as Rey was heading out. Once Rey's faded, Mike's hit and they both walked out, stopping at the top of the ramp for Mike to do his pose and whatnot. Then they walk down the ramp, and Aly stays ringside over by commentary as Mike gets into the ring. Del Rio gets back into the ring, and Mike takes his shirt off and throws it outside of the ring. The bell rings after Mike's muside fades, and he immediately tries to go after Rey, but Rey moves out of the way and Mike's in the corner as Rey goes after Del Rio. Rey exchanges hits between Del Rio and Mike, until Mike takes control of the match and goes after a brief moment he and Rey work together to take out Del Rio, which ends up being Del Rio stumbling away. They work together again, and get Del Rio in the ropes. But Rey trips Mike after and gets him in the ropes next to Del Rio. Rey is now going to try and attempt a double 619, but his try comes up short because Del Rio gets out of the ropes and knocks down Rey.
Del Rio goes after Rey, as Mike is recovering in the ropes. Del Rio slides Rey out of the ring, and Mike comes over and rollups Del Rio for the unfortunately Del Rio kicks out. Mike then starts going after Del Rio, trying to wear him down. He's in the ropes, trying to get Del Rio away from him, and he does but Rey comes up and gets him now. He jumps over Mike and goes after Del Rio, trying to pin him, but Mike sees and stops him. Then he grabs Del Rio and throws him into the metal ring post, shoulder first if I may add. He goes back over to Rey and tries for a cover, but Rey kicks out. He looks back at Del Rio before going after Rey, and then throwing him into the opposite corner of where he is. Mike backs up and then runs, hitting Rey and Del Rio both with the running corner clothesline. Mike quickly goes for the cover on Rey again, but Rey kicks out. Del Rio is out, so Mike stayed on Rey.
Rey regains power and starts going right back after Mike. Rey gets Mike in position for the 619, but when Rey runs to the ropes on the opposite side, and tries to go back, Del Rio gets up and trips him. He gets back into the ring and goes right after Rey, ignoring Mike for now. But Del Rio was distracted by throwing Rey out of the ring, Mike came up behind him for the Skull Crushing Finale. Del Rio slides out of it and rolls up Mike, going for the cover, which Mike gets out of. Then they both get up and Mike gets a rollup this time, with Del Rio kicking out. They both get back up again, only to be met by a clothesline to each other...now that's got to hurt. So now all three of them are down, and during the commercial break Mike got knocked out of the ring, so now it's Del Rio and Rey in the ring only. Mike starts getting up into the ring, when Del Rio notices and comes running towards him and kicks him right back down off the side of the ring.
Now Mike's back out of the ring, and it's Del Rio and Rey only in the ring. Del Rio went for the pin, but Rey kicked out. So Del Rio rolls out of the ring and over to Mike, grabbing him and throwing him into the ring post outside of the ring. He gets back into the ring and goes back to beating up Rey. Mike starts moving outside the ring, climbing up onto the side. Del Rio notices this, and goes after him only to be thrown over the top rope and out of the ring himself. Rey comes over to go after Mike, but he stops him and jumps over the top rope, trying to pin him. Rey gets out of it and runs back, then kicks Mike square in the head. Rey gets on the outside of the ring, onto the top rope and jumps, landing on Mike and going for the pin. But thank god Mike kicks out. Mike starts back up into the corner, with Rey coming after him. He begs a little, before grabbing Rey and slamming him onto the covered turnbuckle. He stumbles a bit as he stands back up, but recovers when he's over by Rey. He throws him into the opposite corner again, and then tries that corner clothesline move again. He misses it this time, due to Rey moving. Del Rio catches Mike's legs and pulls him out of the ring and then takes him down.
And then Rey jumps on Del Rio. Now all three of them are outside of the ring, and Rey gets back to his feet first. He takes Del Rio and throws him into the ring, before kicking Mike for good measure. It's once again Rey and Del Rio in the ring, with Mike outside trying to get back up. Mike gets up and starts climbing the corner, getting to the top turnbuckle. This was kind of a bad idea, considering that Del Rio got thrown into that corner, also hitting Mike so he came crashing down in pain. Rey goes after Del Rio for a bit, before turning his attention to Mike ontop of the turnbuckle. The he climbs up and flips him backwards off the top rope, and that makes him roll out of the ring again. Once again, it's Rey and Del Rio only in the ring. Del Rio got Rey in the cross arm breaker, and held it there, until Mike came in and attempted to kick Del Rio in the face. He ducked and then rolled up Mike. Mike then slams Del Rio's face into the apron and goes for the pin, but he kicks out. Del Rio rolls out of the ring and Mike gets ready to deliver the Skull Crushing Finale on Rey. He gets it, but Rey slips out of his grip and kicks him out of the ring.
All of a sudden Alex moves me from his lap, and gets up.
"I gotta go help him. I'll be back." He says, before quickly getting up, limping a bit due to the STF from earlier tonight.
He makes it there, and I see on the screen him limping down the ramp, holding his leg a bit. As Del Rio is in the ring with Rey, Alex tries to get Mike up and back into the match. Del Rio goes to powerbomb Rey, but Alex jumps up and starts yelling. Rey reverses and ends up making Del Rio basically spear Alex off the side of the ring as he's laying in the ropes. Rey hits the 619, and then falls from the top rope onto Del Rio, after he kicks Mike off the side of the ring when he got back up. Alex crawls over out of sight to the other side of the ring. When Rey goes for the pin, Alex grabs Del Rio and pulls him out of the ring for the save. This gives Mike the opportunity to get in and he rolls Rey up, getting the pin to win the match. Mike rolls out of the ring and starts backing up towards the ramp, Alex following. Aly goes up after them and as she reaches them, Mike immediately pulls her to his side. Mike's celebrating as you all get to the top of the ramp, but that's cut short by John's music.
Aly scowls as they turn around.
"Miz I'm here to congratulate you. And that's exactly what I did after you defeated me at Wrestlemania. I came on television the next night, and congratulated you. No excuses. It's funny how when you lose the WWE Championship, all you have is excuses. Well I've chosen my match for Over The Limit, and it's match where there will be no excuses. Because there will be no disqualifications. It's a match in which there will be no count outs. There will also be no submissions, and there will be no pinfalls. You want to be the WWE Champion again, it's gonna be quite easy. All you have to do is make me say two words. At Over The Limit, you will face me in an 'I Quit' match." John explains, before his music hits and he walks backstage.
Aly pales slightly and presses tighter to Mike's side. Mike can't believe what just happened, Aly and him start walking backstage with Alex limping alongside them.
"You gonna be alright Alex?" Aly peers around Mike to look at him.
"I'll be fine, it's just my leg...from the match with John."
"Try putting some ice on it and maybe have Dolce do some massage, that might make it feel better."
He nods as they all reach the door to the locker room. She waits outside as Mike and Alex head in to get changed. She sighs and leans against the wall, spacing out as she twists her rings around her finger. After a while the door opens and Alex limps out after Mike. They all make their way down to the room, so we all could grab out things to head back to the hotel. They meet up with me, get our stuff from the room and go out to the car.
"That STF was not necessary tonight. You can't walk without limping." I say to Alex, sighing as we lag behind so he can take his time walking.
"I know." He sighs.
"Just let me know if I can do anything to help."
"Windy said ice and a massage might make it feel better."
"Want me to go back in and get ice before we leave?"
"Nah, there's an ice machine on our floor at the hotel remember?"
"Right. Well I figured I'd ask since we're still here anyway."
"Ah"
We finally get to the car, and I take his things and put them in the trunk while he carefully gets into the car, followed by me. We drive to the hotel, everyone mostly quiet. Once we arrive, everyone gets their stuff and heads up to our rooms.
"Okay, you just sit here and relax. I'll go get the ice." I say, after helping Alex over to the bed.
"Thanks." He smiles.
I grab something to put the ice in, before exiting the room and walking down to the machine and getting the ice. After getting it, I walk back and into the room.
"Here." I say, handing him the ice.
Alex reclines back against the headboard and puts the ice on his leg.
"Better?"
"Much."
"Good." I say, starting to take off all my jewelry and putting it in my bag where I put all of my jewelry.
He watches me, a small smile on his face. Since I was somewhat facing him, I could see
out of the corner of my eye that he was smiling.
"What is it?" I ask, turning to look at him completely.
"What, I can't smile and watch you?"
"Of course you can. I was just wondering what you were smiling about."
"Because I love you." He shrugs.
"I love you too." I smile, walking over and leaning over to kiss him briefly.
He holds me there for a minute before letting me go. I go back over to my things, and take my boots off before grabbing clothes to change into, heading into the bathroom to do so. By the time I come out Alex has changed and is sitting back in his spot against the headboard, watching tv.
"Still need me to help with that leg of yours, or are you all set?"
"I think I'm alright but who knows how it'll feel in the morning."
"Right. Well let me dump that ice out, and we can sleep."
I take it, and dump out in the bathroom sink whatever ice is still left, along with any water from the melted ice. I then throw the bag away, and walk out of the bathroom. I shut the light off, before climbing into bed next to him.
"Thank you." Alex kisses my cheek as I snuggle into him.
"Well it's my job to take care of you, but you're welcome."
"Just letting you know how much I appreciate it."
I nod.
"I love you, and I'll always be there for you."
"Same from me to you. I love you too my beautiful almost wife."
I smile, before leaning up and pressing my lips to his. He returns my kiss, sliding one hand
into my hair. I pull away a few moments later, before snuggling back into him.
"Night."
"Night love."
In the meantime, Aly's just climbed into bed next to Mike herself. She sees him lookg at her.
"Yes you can touch now."
"Yayy." He says, then suddenly pulls her close.
Her tank top gets pushed up and she lets out a small laugh as his hands roam over her stomach.
"This is gonna be an everyday thing isn't it?"
He nods vigorously.
"I figured." She laughs.
"Love you."
"I love you too."
He kisses her on the cheek, before getting comfortable and closing his eyes to go to sleep.
"Night."
She leans over and kisses his lips.
"Night."
