It's Sunday morening and Aly's gotten dressed, grabbed a few things, and went out to sit by the pool and read while waiting for Mike to get in from Texas. While she was reading, she sees two hands go over her eyes, and she hears the voice of Zack.
"Guess who."
"Woo woo woo." Aly laughs.
He laughs too and uncovers her eyes, sitting in the pool chair next to her.
"What's up?"
"Oh not much."
"How's Charity?"
"She's good. Kind of misses me though because she's back in Long Island and I'm here in Vegas. But I'm heading right back out there when I can."
"Aww."
"You should invite her on the road, Carly and I wouldn't mind having another girl around." She adds.
"That's a great idea. When I get back to Long Island I'll ask her."
She smiles.
"So what are you up to?" Zack asks.
"Just waiting for Mike to ge there. I have a doctor's appointment in a while."
"Going to get a glimpse of the little one again?"
"Mmhmm." She smiles bigger.
"Awww." He grins.
She giggles.
"I'll show you them later if you want."
"Sure, I'd love to see them later."
"I'll send them to your phone if I can't find you."
"Sounds good."
She smiles and takes a sip of the water she brought with her.
"So speaking of Carly though, how's she doing?"
"She's enjoying the honeymoon. Alex took her to Fiji."
"Oh nice."
"Yeah, it looks really nice. Here's some pictures." She pulls them up on her phone and shows him.
"They're either coming back later tonight or tomorrow." She adds.
"Ah."
"Kind of jealous though of how nice Fiji is."
"It does look really nice, not gonna lie. But you'll be going somewhere nice yourself in a couple weeks." Zack says.
"True. It just seems like time is starting to drag a little."
"I'm sure it seems like that at first, but it'll start to fly on by when you don't think about it."
"Yeah."
"Don't worry, it'll be here soon."
She nods a little.
"Can't help being impatient though."
"I know, it's exciting."
"Yeah."
"You'll make it." He grins.
"Haha I know. Patience just isn't one of my strong points."
"I know that laugh..." They both hear Mike's voice from behind.
She spins around and jumps off the chair to rush into Mike's arms. Zack sees this as the opportunity to get up and leave them by themselves.
"Oh, I've missed you so so much." She says.
"I missed you too." Mike kisses her head.
"It was so weird being by myself again after so long. I got used to having you and Dolce and DC around, it felt strange to be by myself."
"I'm sure it did, I'm sorry."
"Its not your fault."
"I know, but still."
"Still, nothing. It isn't your fault." She says firmly, picking up her head to look him in the eyes.
"This is gonna happen a lot..." She adds.
"It really isn't your fault. You're doing your job and we also have the baby to look out for so we're just doing what needs to be done." She finishes.
"Until you won't be able to travel anymore..." Mike points out.
"Right, but as long as everything keeps going smoothly, I've been told I can travel up 'til 36 weeks."
"Really?"
"Mmhmm." She nods.
"Well that's great news." He grins.
She smiles.
"Yes it is."
"So when's the appointment?" I can't wait to go."
She looks at her watch.
"Well actually we could go in a little early I guess."
"Great. Let's go then."
She grabs her things from the chair and they go out to the car, driving off to the doctors. Since there was some time before the appointment was scheduled, she checks in and they sit in the waiting room. The doctor comes and gets them after a while. She goes through all the usual things, being weighed and having her blood pressure checked and what not. They then go into the room. The doctor talks with them about various things before prepping for the ultrasound. Once everything was set, the doctor starts the ultrasound, and you and Mike watch the screen. The doctor hits the button that allows the heartbeat to be heard. Aly tears up and puts her free hand over her mouth since her other hand is laced with Mike's as he stands beside the table she's laying on. He lifts the hand that's laced with his and kisses it, before rubbing his thumb around in soothing circles on her hand to comfort her. She glances up at him with watery eyes and smiles, giggling a little bit. Once the ultrasound was over, she was cleaned up from that gel stuff, and the pictures were printed out and handed to her after. They thank the doctor and then head out of the office. She looks at the pictures while they walk, a smile on her face. He wraps an arm around her shoulders and watches her as she looks through the pictures.
"Our baby..." She says softly.
"Yep, our baby." He repeats, kissing the top of her head.
She kisses him and then returns to staring at the pictures, even when they get to the car and get in. He pulls away from the parking lot once they both were all set, and smiles as he glances over at her as she's still staring at the pictures. She runs her thumb over the pictures, letting her other hand rest on her belly.
"So are you hungry? We can go an get something to eat if you'd like." Mike asks.
"Yeah that sounds good." She says without looking up.
He still smiles at her staring at the pictures still. Then he drives around to find a place where they both can eat. She reluctantly puts away the pictures in her purse as they go into the restaurant. They're seated at a table and given menus, then look through for a while before the waiter comes back and they order their drinks.
"I bet you can't wait to show Alex and Carly the pictures too right?"
She smiles brightly and nods.
"I also have to show Zack too, I told him I would."
"I'm sure Melina and Natalya will want to see too."
"And Shawn."
"Let's just say mostly everyone." Mike chuckles.
"Right." She giggles.
"I'm going to go ahead and send them to our moms." She adds, pulling her phone and the pictures out of her purse.
He watches as she takes the pictures of the ultrasound pictures with her phone and sends them to his mom and her mom.
"There we go." She remarks as she finishes sending them.
"They're gonna be excited when they see those pictures."
"Uh-uh." She smiles.
"Love you." He says, kissing her cheek.
"Love you too." She replies and acts like she's going to kiss his cheek but instead catches his lips.
She pulls away after a bit and smiles. She giggles at the look on his face. Then the food arrives and it's placed in front of them, and they start to eat. Mike chuckles when she finishes before him.
"Not my fault I finished before you."
"I was hungry okay?" She adds when he laughs.
"I know, it's okay."
She lays her head against his shoulder and watches him while he eats. After he finishes, they pay for everything before getting up and heading back out to the car. They go back to the hotel. Meanwhile with me and Alex it's now noontime and we're enjoying as much time left that we have in Fiji. I'm sitting up on the deck in one of the chairs, while Alex decided to go for a swim in the ocean right ahead. I sit there and watch, but through my sunglasses that I had grabbed and put on. Every now and then Alex looks back at me and smiles and waves. I smile and wave back at him.
"I don't want to leave..." I say to myself.
That's when I get a text from Aly. 'Baby's fine and growing well. Can't wait to show you guys the pics!'
"Awww." I say to myself before replying to the text.
"Aww what?" Alex asks as he walks up.
"Aly says that the baby's fine and growing well. She can't wait to show us the pictures."
"Ah." Alex smiles.
Then he goes to hug me but I stop him.
"Uh uh. You're all wet." I laugh.
"Aww come on."
"Sorry." I giggle.
He fake pouts and goes to walk inside to grab a towel to dry off, but he turns around and catches me offguard with a hug anyway.
"Ahhhh Alex!" I squeal.
"It's only water, it's not gonna kill you." He laughs still hugging me.
I sigh and hug him back.
"It may not kill me, but now I'm all wet thank you."
"You're welcome." He says cheesily.
"Do we have to leave at sunset?"
"I know you want to stay and so do I but yes, we do."
"Awwww."
"Sorry babe." He chuckles, kissing my forehead.
"You know if you ever lose control when we're staying in the hotel because of the shows. We're gonna have to make sure the walls are thick..."
"Right." He laughs.
"I mean here it's different. And I have a feeling you're gonna want to lose control a lot now, considering from the wedding night, when it almost happened the night after, and then last night."
He smirks.
"But that a guy thing so yeah..."
"Can't help it." He shrugs.
"But I'll be back, I'm gonna make sure I go shower before we leave tonight so I don't forget." He adds, letting me go.
"Alright."
I relax in the chair while looking out at the water, enjoying the warm breeze that's in the air. That's when I hear the sound of water running, and it wasn't coming from inside either. I turn around and stretch my neck out, seeing Alex using the outdoor shower with his back facing me. I groan inwardly and look up at the sky.
"Seriously?" I think.
I turn back around to avoid further distractions, and close my eyes listening to the sound of the waves. After a bit the water shuts off. I clearly didn't hear the water shut off, because I was too caught up in the calming sound of the ocean. Alex has a towel wrapped around his waist as he walks over towards me. He leans over and gives me an upside down kiss.
"Mmm...I'm still awake you know." I say after he pulls away.
"I know. I just wanted to kiss you."
"I can't complain."
"Of course not."
Then he walks over to the other chair and decides to sit for a while.
"Shouldn't you be getting some clothes on?" I ask him after a bit.
"Why, is this distracting?" He grins.
"Yes it is."
"Then in that case...no not right now."
I sigh.
"It's taking everything to not like jump you right now. You know that right?" I say.
"Yup."
Then my eyes start wandering, and I blink a few times and shake off the feeling I was getting. 'No..' I say in my mind. Alex snickers quietly.
"I think you need to put clothes on now..."
"Nope."
"Damn..." I mutter under my breath.
He laughs.
"Are you trying to kill me?"
"Maybe." He grins.
"Evil."
"But you love me."
"I do. But anyways, I'm going to go finish packing my things back up."
"I got it." He says, getting up.
"It's okay. I got it." I say, getting up too.
"Well I guess I'll go get dressed then." He chuckles.
"You do that, before we end up where we ended up last night."
"Is that a bad thing?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Well no, not really..."
He smirks.
"No ideas Mister." I point a finger at him.
"You know that has the opposite effect when you say that."
Then he starts moving forward, making me walk backwards trying to get away from him.
"I know but...you can't blame me for trying."
"Not really." He shrugs, still smirking.
"Alex...no."
"Awwww...come on babe."
"I just showered this morning..."
"We can take another before we leave."
"You'd like that wouldn't you?"
He grins and nods.
"Don't make me use the full name." I threaten, but he keeps moving forward.
"I'm warning you...I will not hesitate to use it."
He still doesn't stop.
"Kevin..." I start to say.
Then I squeak as I back into the bed.
"...Robert..." I continue.
He gets right up close to me.
"...Kiley Jr...no."
He pouts.
"Don't give me that face..."
He keeps pouting and gives me the sad eyes.
"Not that."
Alex doesn't stop.
"Ohhhh..." I sigh.
"...fine, if it'll make you happy."
He breaks out into a smile and immediately kisses me. He gets even closer, and this makes me fall backwards onto the bed. He moves my legs since they were hanging over the side of the bed, and climbs onto the bed next to me, once again sealing his lips with mine. He lets his hands roam while he kisses me. First his hands move up to my hair and starts playing with the braid that I've tied it up in. He finds the holder and tugs it free, tossing it aside and then unraveling the braid. He leaves my hair over the shoulder that it was already over in the braid, and starts to run his fingers through it. A quiet noise escapes me as Alex smiles into the kiss. He moves both his hands to my sides and pulls me closer to him, then runs the fingers of one hand up my spine slowly. I shiver and make yet another quiet noise. He chuckles quietly and I take my hands and run them down his chest just as slowly. They get past his chest with no reaction so far, until I started to make my way down to his abs. I feel him start to tense up slowly. But I stop before reaching his abs and hesitate for a bit, torturing him a bit, before moving them back up and cupping his neck. Alex grumbles softly. I giggle and smirk against his lips. Alex moves his hand from my back and slides both hands back down my sides and over my hips to run his fingertips down my legs as far as he can reach. Since he does that and creates goosebumps on my skin, I move my hands from his neck and bring them back down his chest. Then down his sides, running my thumbs over the indents by his hips. He tenses and hisses lightly, making me giggle. Since I found out that's another sensitive spot, just like what I do with his abs, I continue to run my thumbs over the indents. A growl rumbles in his chest. Then he quickly grabs my hands and pulls them away, pinning them to the bed on either side of me.
"Awww." I mumble.
Alex breaks away from my lips, moving to gently bite my earlobe which makes me inhale sharply.
"...not fair..." I manage to get out, referring to me not being able to move my arms.
"Well you've been torturing me so now I'm returning the favor."
"By preventing me from moving..."
"Yup." He says, still nibbling at my ear.
"Still...not fair."
He chuckles.
He then moves down to my neck, and in the midst of everything, he eventually let me go and we had a repeat of last night. Meanwhile Mike and Aly are getting ready to go out to a club with Zack and a bunch of other Divas and Superstars. She's gotten dressed in the bathroom and now she leaves the door cracked while she does her makeup, leaving her hair down and straight. Mike finishes getting ready, being dressed in the jeans, shirt, vest and tie that Aly loves so much. He walks over to the bathroom and opens the door, peeking in.
"Hi babe." She says without looking.
"Hey...you look amazing...as always." He grins.
"Thanks."
He stands there in the doorway, watching her as she finishes her makeup. The last thing she reaches for is lipgloss and Mike sees it's the Raspberry Sorbet he likes so much.
"My favorite." He smirks.
"I know." She laughs softly.
"I better be getting some of that later."
"We'll see."
"That's right we will." He smirks before moving from the doorway.
She glances at him.
"What are you doing?"
"What, I can't walk in without doing something?" He chuckles.
"Not with that smirk on your face."
"Okay you caught me. I was gonna sneak a kiss in before we left."
She pecks him lightly on the lips and then slides past him to leave the bathroom.
"Awww, that's all I get?" He asks, following her out.
"I just put this gloss on." She points out.
"Yeah...and?"
"I don't really want to reapply it, when I just put it on." She tells him, putting her shoes on.
"I know, I was just teasing."
"Goofball."
"Love you too."
She smiles and laughs lightly while she gets the few things she needs.
"Alright, I got what I need. You ready?" She asks.
"Yup." Mike nods.
Then they leave for the club. When they get there, Mike parks and they walk inside. They find most of everybody in the back corner and they head back there. When they reach the table, Melina and Natalya are the first one to greet Aly.
"Hi girls." She laughs as she gets hugged by both of them.
Then once they pull away, she sits down with them and talks.
"How are you doing?" Melina asks.
"I'm good." She smiles.
"And the baby?" Nattie adds.
"Baby is good too. I got more pictures this morning." She replies, pulling them out.
"Awwwwww!" They both say as she hands them the pictures to look at.
She smiles brightly.
"Oooh are those the pictures?" Aly hears Zack ask as he scooches in next to Natalya and Melina.
"Yup." She giggles.
The pictures are slid over to Zack and he looks at them.
"Awww."
"I know." She smiles.
"Have you thought of any names?" Melina asks.
"Mmhmm. Savannah Aubre if it's a girl and Christopher Michael if it's a boy."
"Aww, good choices."
"Thank you."
"Speaking of pictures, have you two seen the pictures that Carly's taken?" She adds, asking the girls since Zack already saw the pictures.
"No we haven't. Where'd he take her?"
"Fiji." She says, sliding her phone over with the pictures pulled up.
"Oh wow, that's beautiful."
"I know. I'm jealous."
"Hey, looks like you got another message."
She grabs her phone and opens the message and sees that it's from Alex, and there's a picture attached to the message. It's a picture of us on the plane and I'm passed out on his shoulder. The message says that we're on our way back, heading to Vegas.
"Aww. They're on the plane back and she's passed out." She laughs.
"Awww." The girls say as she slides the phone in front of them.
"Nice." Zack laughs.
Then she takes her phone back and she puts it away, and continues to talk to the girls and Zack. Mike wanders over and slides in by me, kissing her head.
"DC and Dolce are on the plane, she's passed out on his shoulder." She tells him.
"Ah, they probably won't get in till much later tonight then."
She nods in agreement.
"Well you can see them tomorrow, Alex and I will most likely be at the gym for most of the day before the show."
"Right."
"I've already been told this, but I'm teaming up with Swagger tomorrow night to face Alex and Rey."
"That's a weird match up."
"Yeah it is. And Carly has to defend her title again tomorrow night."
"Poor her."
"I guess Creative liked the matchup last week, so...she's got Maryse again."
"Aha, nice."
"You be sure to tell her that tomorrow."
"I will."
"Come on, let's go dance for a bit."
She takes her phone and the pictures and puts them away.
"Bye guys." She laughs.
"Don't worry, I'll bring her back." Mike adds, chuckling.
"Bye." They laugh.
She follows him out onto the dance floor and just as the next song started up, they started dancing. She loops her arms around his neck and brushes her lips against his gently. Before he could respond, she pulled away a bit after. Because if he had responded there would be no lip gloss left on her lips. He pouts and she laughs.
"Sorry, this needs to last."
"Awww."
"Want some cheese with that whine?" She teases.
"Haha very funny."
She laughs.
"I love you too...goofball."
"Your goofball."
"Yes I know."
"And it will be that way forever." She adds.
"Always." He kisses her forehead and she smiles.
Then she leans her head on his shoulder, keeping her arms looped around his neck. He lays his head against hers. They dance for a while and then decide to take a break. She sits at the now empty table while Mike goes to get them drinks. She looks around, spotting more people from work and occasionally waving when some of them notice her. Mike comes back shortly and scooches in next to her, handing her the drink he got her.
"Thank you." She smiles, taking a sip.
"You're welcome." He says, taking a sip of his as well.
Then she feels his hand on her stomach.
"You're a magnet." She says.
"Maybe so, but I'm gonna be like this through the whole thing."
"I know." She laughs.
"But your hand is like a magnet." She adds, and he just grins.
"I guess it doesn't help that the mini bump is pretty much on display here." She says, looking down to observe her belly which is showing under her shirt.
"No, but at least everyone knows about it and you don't have to hide it."
"Exactly." She nods.
"Makes me wonder though. Your hand is like a magnet, when are you gonna start talking to it?" She adds.
"Soon." He grins.
"Oh boy." She giggles.
Mike kisses her cheek and then rests his head on her shoulder.
"Just let me know when you're getting tired and we can leave." He mentions.
"I know." She rests her head against his.
After sitting there for a while and they finish their drinks and talk a bit more. It was getting a little late, but they went out onto the dance floor for a bit more of dancing. During a slow song a while later, she has her head against his shoulder and her eyes start to get heavy. Mike realizes she's moving more sluggishly and chuckles faintly.
"Come on let's head back, you're getting tired."
"...mmkay."
He keeps an arm around her as he directs her off the dance floor and over to the doors, leading outside. She ends up dozing off in the car, hands on her belly. Mike glances over and smiles, and eventually he pulls into the parking lot of the hotel. He walks over to the bed after closing the door with his foot, and he carefully sets her on it. He leaves her there while he goes over to her things and picks out clothes for her. He sets the clothes on the bed next to her and starts to take off her shoes and jewelry before changing her clothes, being as careful and gently as possible so he doesn't wake her. He takes her other clothes, her shoes and her jewelry before going over to her things and puts them by her bags. then he walks back over and carefully moves her so that he can pull the covers over her. Once he does that, he gets changed himself and climbs in next to her. He presses a soft kiss to her lips.
"Night princess." He whispers.
Then he shuts off the light and gets comfortable in his spot, then rests a hand on her stomach and he drfits off to sleep shortly after.
