It's early Tuesday morning and we really didn't want to get up, but we had to. So we got up and got changed, before packing our things back up for our flights.

"I don't want to do thisssss..." Aly groans, flopping back on my bed.

"I don't either...but what other choice do we have?"

"None." She sighs.

"But hey at least you get another fitting for your dress."

"True."

"That's always fun, no matter what."

"Mostly anyway." She laughs lightly.

"Ethan is gonna be happy to see us like always." I laugh.

"Of course. Ethan's great."

"Ethan?" Alex asks, a look on his face.

"Oh don't get all jealous. Think about what kind of guy would work in a bridal shop." Aly tells him with an amused smile.

"He is the one who helped pick out my dress afterall." I add.

"Ohhhhh." Alex says as he gets it.

"Yeah. Ethan's gay so you have absolutely nothing to worry about." Aly laughs.

"Exactly."

"Are we ready?" Alex finally asks after a little silence.

"Yeah I think so."

We gather all of our things and head downstairs. Of course we had to wait for Mike since he had the car and we all head to go to the airport for our flights. It isn't long before Mike appears, stepping out of the elevator. He walks over to turn in his key card, before turning back to us.

"All ready?"

All three of us nod. Then we go out to the car and put our things in the trunk, before piling in and heading off to the airport. We get through all the check-in and security things and the guys walk Aly and I to our gate since our flight leaves first.

"And this is the hard part..."

"We have a little time before we go." Aly says, looking at her watch.

"I know, but it's still gonna be hard."

"Yeah..." She trails off as he gaze drops to the floor.

"I know things are gonna be hard and maybe a bit awkward with Mike because you're mad at him..."

She nods slowly, biting her lip.

"...just try to make it work out...for now anyway."

She nods again and sighs quietly.

"Well we have a little time, but this is it." I say, turning to face Alex.

He wraps his arms around me, repeatedly kissing my head.

"I really hope the week flies by..."

"Me too. I'm really going to miss you."

"I'm gonna miss you too. Especially since this is the first time we're gonna be apart since we've been together."

Alex nods slowly.

"I know but we'll get through it. I love you." He kisses each of my cheeks before kissing my lips.

"Love you too." I mumble into the kiss.

Alex reluctantly pulls away from my mouth but steals a few short kisses before stopping completely. Aly turns to face Mike, but she's silent at the moment. Now knowing what to say after everything that's happened. She bites her lip, unconsciously rubbing her stomach.

"Lyssa...come here." He says, holding his arms out for a hug.

She hesitates for a little but steps into his arms.

"I know I say it a lot, but I am sorry for last night. I'll take this week to definitely think about my actions."

She nods and relaxes against him, closing her eyes.

"I'm gonna miss you a lot."

"I'll miss you too." She says quietly while sliding her arms around him.

"I can still call you and everything right?"

"Mmhmm."

"Okay good. Just wasn't sure because of well you know."

"I know." She murmurs, pressing as close as she can to soak up as much of his presence and warmth as possible before we have to leave.

He hugs her tight and rests his head on top of hers. She tries to keep herself calm, breathing deeply and listening to his hearbeat. After a while the plane arrives at the gate, we don't see it arrive but we hear the announcement that says the plane is now boarding. Aly whimpers quietly.

"I'll call you after we land in Austrailia okay?" He asks soothingly.

She nods slowly and reluctantly pulls back. He holds her hands in his once she pulls away, and then leans in and kisses her gently.

"I love you." He says once he pulls away.

"I love you too." She sighs, sniffling a little.

"As much as I don't want you to, you should get on the plane now, before you miss the flight."

She nods and he lets go of her hands. Then he reaches out to rub her stomach and she smiles a tiny bit.

"Oh before I forget, we have a nickname for the baby now until we find out what we're having." She adds.

He looks at her curiously.

"Jelly bean. Jelly for short."

"I came up with the name." I say, smiling.

Mike chuckles.

"Nice." He says with an amused smile.

"Well you and the little Jelly bean be safe this week."

"We will. You be safe too."

"I'll try my best."

She reaches up for one last kiss and then steps back.

"See you in Boston."

"Yep, see you there sometime Sunday."

She then turns to Alex and holds out her arms.

"I need a hug from my brother."

He chuckles and walks over to her, wrapping her in a hug.

"Thank you." She mumbles into his shoulder.

"You're welcome. What's a brother for right?"

She giggles.

"Right. Now be careful okay?"

"I will, well I'll try at least."

"You take care of Jellybean, yourself, and my wife alright?" Alex adds as they seperate and he gently pats her belly.

"I will." She laughs.

"Alright, shall we get going now?" I ask, after pulling away from the hug Mike was giving me.

"Yeah." Aly sighs, picking up her carry-on bag.

I pick mine up as well, and we say 'bye' to the guys before heading over to the gate. We get through the gate and go onto the plane, finding out seats and getting comfortable. Not too long after, the plane had taken off and we were on our way to LA. The flight goes fairly smooth and we land in LA, get our bags and head out to the car that Mike had someone leave for us. Then it's off to the condo to hang out until Aly has to go for her fitting.

"I can't wait until they call us when they land. Probably gonna be really late at night here considering the time zones. By that time it'll already be Wednesday over there."

"Yeah. I hate time zones."

"14-16 hours on a plane...that's way too long."

"Yeah. I remember the one we had on my birthday. You and I slept the whole time."

"Well that's like the only thing you can do to make the time pass by quicker."

"Pretty much."

"But, how's Jellybean doing?"

"Jellybean's good." She laughs.

"That's good."

"Starting to get hungry though. I'll make something when we get to the condo here in a few."

"Sounds good." I nod.

A few minutes later we park at the condo and head up. Aly unlocks the door and we walk inside, with me shutting the door behind us.

"One of our many homes."

"Yeah." I laugh.

She breathes deeply and then pauses.

"I smell flowers..."

"Really?"

"Uh-huh." She says, putting down her bags and following the smell.

I put down my bags for a minute before stretching a bit, until I hear her saying 'awwww' from the other room.

"Awww what?" I ask, walking to find her.

"Well first of all, look at the flowers that Mike sent." She says, stepping out of the way for me to see.

"Oh wow." I remark, eyes wide as I see the bouquet of rainbow roses.

"I know. Then he had a note with it and I found this." She adds, picking up a bear that has a mini version of Mike's nametag shirt on.

"Awwwwwww! It's so cute!"

"It has a faux hawk like he does." She points to its head.

"Oh and it talks too." She adds.

"Oh jeez." I laugh.

She presses one hand and I hear Mike's voice going 'Aweeeeeesomeeeeee' just like he does.

"He would."

"There's one more." She says before pressing the other hand.

Again I hear Mike's voice, but this time he says 'I love you Lyssa'.

"Awwww."

"He is such a sneak but it is so sweet."

"And now you have something to cuddle with at night."

She nods, smiling.

"I can see Alex doing the same thing some day. Getting a bear version of him like Mike did."

"Yeah."

"I guess he's really trying to show you he's sorry for last night."

"Mmhmm."

"But those flowers are amazing, I didn't know they made them rainbow like that."

"I didn't either. They're gorgeous though."

"They really are."

"I'll admire them more later, Jellybean and I are hungry."

"Right. Would you like any help?"

"Sure why not." She smiles.

She puts the bear back down and then we head into the kitchen to find something to cook. We cook ourselves food and eat in the living room while watching tv. Once we finish, we set our dishes on the table and watch tv some more, until we have to leave for Aly's dress fitting.

"Time to go." Aly remarks after looking at the clock.

"We get to see you in the dress again." I smile.

"Yup." She smiles.

Before we leave, we put our dishes in the sink and then she grabs the keys and we head out to the car. Then we leave and we're off to her dress fitting. We walk into the shop and look around for Ethan.

"Oh, look there he is." I say, spotting him walking out of the hallway leading to the fitting rooms.

"Eeeeethan." Aly sings.

He looks over at us standing by the doors and his face lights up when he sees us.

"Heyyy!" He beams, dashing over to hug us.

"How's the little one?" He asks after he pulls away from hugging her.

"Growing and doing good." She smiles, putting a hand on her stomach.

"That's good. And how was the wedding?" He asks me.

"Absolutely amazing."

"I honestly wish you could've been there." I add.

"I know me too." He says.

"So of course you're here for another fitting. The dress is already in the fitting room, and you're all set." He adds, turning to Aly.

She smiles and we all walk back to the room. She goes into the fitting room and puts on the dress while I stay out and sit on the bench and talk with Ethan, mostly about the wedding and where we went for the honeymoon. Then the curtain slides open and Aly smiles at us, her hands playing with the skirt of her dress.

"You look amazing as always, Mike's gonna love it in a couple weeks. How does it fit?" I ask.

"It fits good. I should only gain a pound to a pound and a half over the next two weeks." She says.

"Well that's good, won't have to make really any changes to it."

She shakes her head, still smiling as she rests her hands on her belly.

"Mike'll be happy that the bump will be somewhat visible." She laughs.

"Oh yeah." I laugh.

"He's like a magnet, his hands are constantly all over it." She tells Ethan, laughing.

"Ohhh." He says, laughing.

"Its very cute though."

"Yeah, and he goes into protective daddy mode sometimes too." I add.

"Awww." Ethan smiles.

"What would you say, he's like that 24-7?" I ask her.

"Yup. He was all worried a couple days ago when I jumped in the pool instead of wading in like usual. He was like 'is that safe?' and I had to assure him it was okay." She giggles.

"Awww."

"So yeah, he's like that all the time now. And he'll probably be all over me when he gets back."

"See since we work with WWE, they're out on tour this week in Austrailia and New Zealand." I add, explaining to Ethan.

"Ohhhh."

"Yeah, so we're by ourselves in LA all week...well until Sunday."

"Sunday we'll be flying out to Boston for the next show which is on Monday."

"So how many more fittings are you gonna have before the wedding?" I ask.

"That's the tricky part. I'm not sure because we'll be in Boston for Monday's show and then after that is the pay per view in Chicago and then Raw is in Green Bay the next day. So the only way to have another is if I fly out here." She muses.

"We could always have you take the dress home today." Ethan suggests.

"And hope I don't grow too much." She laughs lightly.

"And then we can do what we did for me. Leave it at Mike's place and have someone in the area drop it off the night before the wedding or something." I add.

"Right."

"But it's totally up to you."

"That'll probably be for the best. I shouldn't get a whole lot bigger in two weeks and there's still some room for growth anyway." She says nodding.

"Just don't let Mike know the dress is gonna be at the condo." I laugh.

"Doesn't matter if he does, he knows he'll be in big trouble if he tries to look. He isn't going to want to piss off the pregnant wife."

"Especially after everything that's happened already."

"Mmhmm." She nods.

Then she heads back into the room to change back into her clothes. Once she's all changed, she comes back out with the dress and Ethan takes it to pack it up for her to take home.

"Too bad Mike isn't home for us to see his face like we did Alex's."

"Oh I know, that was priceless."

"Too bad we didn't have a camera ready." She laughs.

"I know!" I laugh.

"Oh well." She shrugs.

Then Ethan comes back with her dress in the dress bag.

"Thanks so much Ethan." She smiles.

"You're welcome. Don't be strangers now."

"We won't." We both chorus.

Then we both hug him and say our goodbyes before walking down the hallway and out to the main area of the store, then heading out the doors and to the car. She lays the dress bag in the backseat before getting in the front.

"A couple weeks, and then a week from next Wednesday." I smile.

"I know." She smiles too.

"Excited?"

"Very."

"Now you know how I felt."

"Yeah." She laughs lightly.

We finally get back to the condo and head up, walking inside. Then she goes into her bedroom and hangs up the dress in the closet, before coming back out to where I was.

"Wow its boring and quiet without our boys."

"I know..."

"I don't like it." She sighs, curling up in the recliner with the bear Mike got her.

"Me neither, but at least you got mini Mike to cuddle with."

"I'm thinking of calling it Mizzy."

"Awwwww, that's cute. I like it."

She smiles, squeezing the bear lightly.

"I should so take a picture of you with the bear and post it on Twitter, so Mike can see it." I laugh.

"He'd love that." She laughs.

"Then I shall do that then." I add, pulling my phone out of my bag and getting the camera ready.

She smiles and I take the picture.

"Cute." I laugh, going in and posting it on Twitter.

"He should see that when he gets to use his phone."

"Right."

"Oh I know what I can do to cure this boredom. I can start back up on my drawing. I haven't done that in the longest time."

"Oh yeah." She nods.

"And you know what we should have tonight? A movie night with popcorn, ice cream, maybe even pizza. Tons of snacks. I can even make my brownies again."

"Ooooh."

"Jellybean likes the sound of that and so do I." She adds.

"I figured as much."

She laughs and smiles sheepishly.

"Oh! I forgot. I have something to show you. Be right back." I say, getting up from the couch and heading into my bedroom.

She waits for me to come back with a confused look on her face.

"I got wedding pictures..." I sing, handing the picture packages to her.

"They consist of the ceremony, the reception and the pictures we took after the ceremony." I add, sitting back down on the couch.

"Ooooh!" She exclaims, opening them and looking through each picture.

"I have bigger sizes back at my place in Florida. Those I framed and hung up on the walls."

"They're all amazing." She comments, admiring the pictures.

"Ahaha Mike in the background in this one." She adds, laughing.

"He's a dork." I laugh too.

"Yes he is." She agrees.

"I miss him already." She sighs, wistfully touching her fingertip to his face in the picture.

"I know, and I miss Alex already."

She nods and sighs again, continuing to look through the pictures.

"Ohhhh he would do this..." She says when she starts going through the pictures taken after the ceremony and find the one where he had dipped me and kissed me.

"Caught me offguard." I laugh.

"It's still cute."

"I'm betting Mike will try something like that during our pictures." She giggles.

"I wouldn't duobt it."

She finishes looking through the pictures and hands the packages back to me.

"Those are all amazing Dolce."

"Thank you."

Hours pass and we've gotten all our snacks and everything set up for us to watch movies. Just as we have everything set out on the table, the timer dings signaling that the brownies were done.

"Oooh brownies are done."

"Yayyy."

I walk back out to the kitchen and take the brownies out of the oven, setting them on the counter. Then I cut them out of the pan and put them on a plate for us, returning to the living room and placing them on the table as well.

"We haven't had a movie night like this in a while."

"I know, it's so much fun, which is what we need."

"For sure." She agrees.

We start the first movie and then start snacking on everything we had on the table in front of us. She cuddles with the Mizzy bear while she snacks and I smile at the sight.

"That's just so cute."

She smile sheepishly. Then we go back to turning our attention to the movie, still snacking on the food. A couple hours later that movie was over and we put in the next one. After that a third movie goes in and by now we're not really snacking anymore, just laying in the chair and the couch and watching the movie. After a bit, I yawn but try and stifle it...that doesn't work though, because Aly ends up hearing it.

"Oh no, don't yawn. You'll make me yawn." She whines.

"Sorry...couldn't help it."

Then she ends up yawning herself.

"See?" She sighs.

"It's contagious."

"Yes it is."

"Mmhmm.."

Then I yawn again.

"There I go again. I think I should go to bed now, or at least try to."

"Yeah I probably should too." She agrees.

We get up and clean up the snacks and everything, and shut off the movie and tv.

"Alright so I'll see you in the morning."

"Uh-huh. Night Dolce." She says after hugging me.

"Night." I say back and then we pull away from the hug and go into our seperate rooms.

We both get changed and slide into bed. I tried to go to sleep, but I kept shifting around and nothing was working. So I reached over and turned on the lamp and then decided that maybe drawing would tire me out more. So I got up and went into my things and grabbed all my drawing stuff, then climbed back into bed. I open to a fresh page and contemplate what to draw. Once I thought of something, I began to draw it. I took my time because I wanted it to be perfect as it could be. I was so caught up in that I didn't realize how fast the time went by, and the ringing of my phone brought me out of my concentration. I reach for my phone and answer it.

"Hello?"

"You're up? I thought you'd be sleeping." I hear Alex's voice on the phone.

"I couldn't fall asleep." I reply, smiling a little at the sound of his voice.

"I should be able to now that I've heard your voice." I add.

Alex chuckles.

"So how was your day?"

"Kind of boring but Aly got to take the dress home today. We just got done with a movies and snacks and everything a few hours or so ago." I say, looking over at the clock.

"Well make that longer than I thought...it's after 3am right now...oops."

Alex laughs quietly.

"Nice babe."

"Well I said I couldn't sleep. I lost track of time."

"I'm sure you did. What have you been doing?"

"Drawing."

"What are you drawing?"

"You'll see when you come back."

"Awww."

"You'll see that along with brownies. I made them again tonight and saved some for you."

"Oh, sounds good."

"So I'm assuming you've landed by now."

"Yeah, we're going to the hotel right now."

"She's still awake? Isn't like real early in the morning over there?" I hear Mike in the background.

"She couldn't sleep and lost track of time while drawing." Alex tells him.

"Carly...get some sleep." Mike says.

"I'll try." I reply.

"Well we're pulling up to the hotel now." Alex adds.

"Alright, I'll talk to you later then. I love you."

"I love you too. Try and get some sleep okay?"

"I will. Bye."

"Bye."

Then we both hang up and I shut off my phone, then decide to get some sleep because of how late it is. So I put everything on the table next to me and then turn off the light, snuggling into the pillows and attempting to go to sleep. I do end up drifting off while listening to Alex's voice in my head. Meanwhile in Aly's room she's sleeping with her body pillow and Mizzy the bear. She did in fact leave her phone on and after a while it started ringing. She slowly stirs and reaches out for her phone, opening one eyes enough to press the screen to answer the call.

"...'lo?"

"Did I wake you up?" Mike asks.

"Mmhmm. S'okay though."

"Alright, well we just got to the hotel."

"That's good. How was the flight?"

"Long...very long, but it was okay."

"Good."

"What about your flight?"

"Quick and easy."

"Well that's good, and what about the dress fitting?"

"It went good, I have my dress in the closet."

"You do?" He asks, a bit of excitement in his voice.

"Uh-huh. And don't try looking if you come to the condo before the wedding. You'll be in big trouble if you do."

"I know I know, I won't try looking...promise."

"You better not."

"Don't worry, I won't."

"...'kay."

"Before I forget...thank you for the bear and the flowers." She adds.

"I love them, especially the bear. I've named it Mizzy." She continues.

"Awww, well I just wanted to show you how sorry I was for Monday Night."

"I know."

"I read the note, that was really sweet. Thank you."

"I tried my best to make it as sweet as I could."

"You did a really good job." She smiles softly.

"Well I'm glad."

"...I miss you."

"I miss you too, a lot."

"I wish you were here."

"I know I wish I was there too, but the week will go by fast before you know it."

"I hope so." She sighs.

"I know it's pretty late there, so I'm gonna let you get your sleep. You need it."

"Okay. Mike?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you too, with all my heart."

She feels tears well up and she tries to hold them back and to keep from letting on that she's getting emotional.

"I'll talk to you later then." She says quietly, trying to keep her voice even.

"Definitely, and that's a promise."

"Bye, love you." She murmurs, a few tears slipping down her cheeks.

"Love you too, bye."

She ends the call and shuts her phone off, putting it on the nightstand. She wipes the tears from her face and snuggles back down into her spot. She presses the right hand of the bear just to hear Mike's voice saying he loves her before she tries to get back to sleep.
