It's been a few days since the guys left for the tour, and now it's Friday. The guys are still in Austrailia, but because of the time zones, it's already Saturday over there. At least they'll be coming back soon, not too long now. I was busy sitting in the bed checking on how things were going over in Austrailia, reading the results and finding videos on YouTube that people have taken. That's when my computer makes a noise and then the whole skype thing pops up. I see it's from Alex and I immediately accept it, his image appearing on the screen.
"Hey love." He smiles.
"Hey." I smile back.
"How are you?"
"I'm a little tired, but overall I'm good."
"I'm glad to hear that. I miss you."
"I miss you too."
"Not long left now." He says.
"I know."
"So what's on your agenda today?"
"All I know is that Aly and I have a photoshoot. Don't know what we're doing before that or after that yet."
"Ohh."
"Yeah."
"Wish I could be there."
"I know, because you love the photoshoots." I laugh.
"Yes I do."
"Well you can count on Aly for taking her own pictures when I have my photoshoot and then sends them to you."
"That's true." Alex grins.
"So, I saw some pictures from Austrailia, because you know I'm checking to see what's going on over there. What was it like climbing that bridge?"
"It was amazing. A bit scary but still amazing nonetheless."
"Scary huh?" I ask, a hint of amusement in my voice.
"Like you wouldn't be at least a little scared by being up that high."
"Okay I'll admit I would be at least a little scared."
"Exactly...and you're making fun of me?"
"Well I wouldn't think that you were the kind of guy to get scared." I snicker.
"Haha." He says dryly.
"Okay to get off that subject...I also saw the autograph signing pictures with Evan. How was that?"
"It was fun, I got to talk to some interesting people."
"I saw that you signed a Yoshi...that's cute." I giggle.
"It was pretty cool." Alex chuckles.
"And not to mention the one fan with the 'kiss me' sign."
"I told her the cheek was the best I could do otherwise I'd get in trouble." He laughs.
"Of course."
"I can't wait to get back so I can kiss you." He says.
"Awww, well I can't wait for that. I bet you're going mad because you can't torture me."
"No, it's just torture not being able to hold you and kiss you whenever I want."
"Well just think you have the show there in a few hours, you'll probably most likely fly out to New Zealand after the show. You'll have a show tomorrow night, since New Zealand and us are on the same time zone, and then you fly back here to the states, into Boston on Sunday."
"Yeah..."
"Then you will be able to hold me and kiss me all you want. Well that is if I don't attack you when I see you."
"I'm sure you will." Alex laughs.
"Just prepare yourself when you get back."
"I'll try."
"So what is it gonna be, another street fight match?"
"Yeah."
"I hate to see what you both look like after all the kendo stick hits."
"Its not so pretty."
"Well wherever you're sore when you get back Sunday, I'll be happy to take care of that for you."
"I know. Thank you in advance." Alex says with a smile.
"Who are you talking to?" I hear Mike's voice in the background but have yet to see him.
"Who do you think." Alex replies, turning his head to give Mike a strange look.
"Hi Mike." I laugh.
Mike comes into view.
"Oh hey Carls."
"So you honestly didn't know who he was talking to huh?"
"Not really."
"Not using your brain today I see." I tease.
"Haha." Mike says dryly.
"You're still in bed? Lazy." He adds.
"Correction, I'm sitting on the bed. And I'm dressed."
"Laaaaazy."
"Don't judge me." I laugh.
"I will if I want." He laughs.
"Well fine then, I guess you won't be getting any of my special brownies that I make when you get back."
"Heyyyy let's not be hasty." He backpedals.
"That's what I thought."
"Sorry." He says with a cheesy smile.
"I forgive you. But anyways, I'm assuming now that you're on the screen now, you want Aly in here right?"
"Nah, I'll leave you two on yours and get on mine. Is she up?"
"Not sure. Want me to go check?"
"Alright, I'll be back." I say, sliding off the bed and leaving, heading to her and Mike's room.
I find her sprawled out on the bed, coloring in a coloring book.
"Hey, Mike's about to get onto Skype. He wanted me to see if you were up."
She glances up.
"Oh okay. Thanks Dolce." She smiles, putting down the crayon to open up her computer.
"You're welcome. I'm talking to Alex right now but, Mike came into Alex's room asking who he was talking to. He honestly didn't know it was me."
"He's probably tired."
"No he looked pretty awake when I talked to him. But I could be wrong, I mean with all the street fight matches this week..."
"He's good at appearing awake when he feels tired." She shrugs.
"Right, well I'll go tell him that you're up and about to get online."
"Okay."
Then I disappear out into the hallway and go back to my room, sitting down in front of the computer.
"She's awake Mike, getting online now."
"Alright, thanks."
Then he disappears from the screen and I hear a door shut, signaling that he had left. Aly has her computer up and running, coloring while she waits for the Skype call to come through. After a few minutes the call comes through and she accepts it, Mike's face appearing on the screen.
"Hi." She smiles.
"Heyy, how're you and Jellybean doing?"
"We're good. Missing you though."
"Miss you too, but hey it's not too long now."
"Yeah..."
"I can't wait to be back and be all protective again, and have the magnetic hand." He chuckles.
She laughs and sits up, putting her hands on her belly.
"It's been weird without you around constantly touching the bump."
"I know, it's been weird for me here too, because I'm so used to doing that."
"I can tell you're going to be all over me the minute you get off the plane."
"Of course I will." He chuckles.
She smiles and giggles quietly.
"I see little Mizzy there next to you."
"Uh-huh. He's been my cuddle buddy."
"I figured as much." He grins.
"Of course. I always press the hand so I hear you before I go to sleep."
"It helps a lot doesn't it?"
"Mmhmm."
"Well I'm glad it helps."
"Thank you for all these flowers and the chocolates and candy I've been getting these past couple days. The notes too."
"You're welcome. You really deserve all those things."
She smiles softly.
"It's the least I can do for what I did Monday Night."
"I know." She nods a little.
"I'll have a few more things for you when I get back Sunday."
"Ooh."
"But of course it's gonna be a surprise."
"But anyways, what're your plans for today?"
"We both have a photoshoot but I don't know what else we'll be doing."
"Photoshoot huh?" He smirks.
"Uh-huh." She giggles.
"Wish I was there to see it."
"I'm sure Dolce will take some pictures for you."
"She better."
She laughs.
"So when's the show?" She asks.
"In a few hours."
"Another street fight I'm assuming."
"Yeah."
"I wish I was there to make it feel better." She sighs.
"I know, but tell you what. After I get back Sunday, we can set aside some time for you to make everything feel better."
"I can do that." She smiles.
"I know it doesn't seem like it now but, all those kendo stick shots all week are killing me. Not to mention going through a table each night."
"Aw..." She sighs softly, reaching out to touch the screen.
"Just a couple more nights of this and then I get a day of relaxing...with you."
"Right. I wish it'd get here sooner." She mumbles, sniffling.
"I know me too, but hey you'll get through the next couple days, I know you can."
"It's hard though." She sniffles again, looking down.
He frowns.
"I know Lyssa, I know it's hard. But you've made it this long. At least try...for me?"
She nods slowly, sniffling again.
"Please don't cry..."
Tears spill over.
"I can't help it."
"Just think of positive things...try at least. Just think about how happy you'll be when I get back Sunday."
She sniffs and wipes her cheeks and her eyes.
"And I will call you before the show tonight and after the show before I go to bed. Then call you again in the morning before we get on the flight to New Zealand. At least there we're both on the same time zone."
"Yeah..."
"It'll be Sunday before you know it."
"I hope so." She sighs, looking up after wiping the tears away.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"And I love little Jellybean." He chuckles.
She giggles and rubs her stomach.
"Jellybean loves you too daddy."
"Just a couple more weeks..."
"...before we feel Jellybean moving around in there." She finishes.
"That and until the wedding. A week from next Wednesday."
"That too." She smiles.
"We'll have a doctor's appointment when we get back from the honeymoon too." She adds.
"More pictures?"
"Mmhmm. Most people don't have this many ultrasounds but I think the doctors want to be sure that Jellybean is doing okay with the flying that we do."
"Right, makes sense."
She nods, still rubbing her belly and smiling when she sees Mike watching her hands longingly.
"I can't wait to be the one doing that."
"I know. A few more days daddy."
"Yep, just a few more days."
"I should probably go get dressed..." She sighs.
"Yeah, I think I'm gonna go to the gym for a bit before the show too."
She reaches out and touches the screen.
"Love you."
"Love you too, both of you."
She smiles a little and then blows him a kiss. He smile before doing the same.
"Remember, I'll call you before the show."
"I know. Bye."
"Bye."
She ends the Skype call and shuts her computer off. Then she puts away the crayons and coloring book she was using before she goes and gets dressed. After she had gotten dressed, she walked out of the room and out into the living room, where she had seen me sitting on the couch working on my drawing that I have been working on all week.
"Still not done drawing DC are you?" She giggles.
"I want it to be as perfect as possible."
"Aww."
"Plus I'm drawing this from memory so it takes longer anyway."
"Ah."
"So I take it he went to the gym too right?" She adds.
"Yeah."
"But anyways, let's talk about what we want to do today...minus the photoshoot."
"Right." She nods, sitting on the couch by me.
"I think maybe some shopping? I'm starting to outgrow some of my dresses and I could use some maternity stuff to tide me over until we go on a spree with Mel and Nattie." She suggests, chewing her lip.
"Yeah sure, we can do that."
"Anything else?"
"Hmm, maybe some swimming. The pool or the beach is fine. Then maybe we can go out clubbing tonight."
"Sure, that sounds good."
"Oooh we can even buy outfits for tonight."
"Ooooh yeah."
"Alright, sounds like a plan to me."
I grab all my things and head back into the bedroom to leave them there. Then I grab my bag and come back out.
"Alright, let's go."
Aly grabs her purse and her phone, following me out the door and locking it behind us. We go down to the car and get in, before heading off to where all the stores are.
"Where to first?" Aly questions as we walk into the mall.
"Hmm, we can check out the maternity clothes first for you."
"Okay." She nods and we wander over that way.
Once we make it over to the store, we walk in and I help her look for stuff. She ends up getting a small collection of thigns, leaving a majority of the shopping for when we go with Melina and Natalya.
"Oh those are cute."
"I know." She agrees, putting a pair of cute shirts in the bag.
"Just wait until you have to shop for this stuff." She adds.
"Yeah...not yet." I say, looking around.
"Uh-huh...yet is the keyword."
"It'll happen. I'm betting sooner than you think." She adds.
"Yeah...who knows." I shrug.
She picks up a few more things and then pauses.
"I think I've got enough for now."
Then we head over to the register and she pays for what she got, before we leave and head to the next store to look for something for tonight.
"Hmm...not sure what to look for." She muses as we walk in.
"Well I'm gonna look for a dress, I know that much."
"Okay."
"I'll come find you if I need help." I say, walking off to find a dress.
"Alright."
Then she walks off to find something herself. She looks through the selection, trying to find something that catches her eye. After finding something, I come find her to get her opinion.
"Okay, I found something..thoughts?" I ask, holding up a black cross-front halter dress.
"Oooh, I like that."
"What about you? Find anything yet?"
"Not yet."
"Need help?"
"Yeah, please."
"You got it." I nod, beginning to help her find something.
"What about this?" I ask, pulling out a purple halter neck dress.
"Oooh I love that color."
"I do too."
"Let me go try this on and make sure it fits."
"Okay." I nod.
She goes into the dressing room and tries it on, coming out to show me.
"That looks amazing on you. How does it fit?"
"Comfortable is good."
"Yeah." She laughs a little, going back into the fitting room to change again.
Once she comes out, we go to the register and pay for the dresses, before walking out.
"Well it looks like we have just enough time to get to the photoshoot." I say, looking at my phone at the time.
"Nice, we have good timing."
We head out of the mall and back out to the parking lot. We put our bags in the backseat, before getting into the front, and then heading off to the photoshoot. We go into the studio where they're doing the shoot and are greeted by the photographer. We go through the usual routine of being directed out back to get into our outfits for the photoshoot.
"Mike's going to be upset about missing this for sure." Aly says as we get our hair and makeup done after we change.
"I know, Alex too. But at least we can take our own pictures of each other and send them to the guys."
"Right."
"I can see them tweeting with at least one of our pictures that they like the most."
"They so would." She laughs.
"My hair feels so weird like this..."
"I bet it does." Aly remarks, glancing over.
"Especially with this little feather hair thing."
"It's interesting." She giggles.
Once we were done with the hair and makeup, we headed out to the photoshoot area. Aly's pictures were first, and I stood back so that I could watch and get a good spot to take my own pictures to send to Mike. The photographer mainly has her posing so that her belly gets shown off. After each picture that I take, I send it to Mike, and they're probably distracting him from his gym time. My phone buzzes with a text message. I touch the screen and look at the message that is indeed from Mike. I read it and it says 'Now I really wish I was there. I'm not there to be touching the bump'. I laugh. 'Poor you. At least I'm taking pictures for you.' I reply. 'And I appreciate it...thank you'. 'You're welcome.'
Then she was on her last picture, so I took that last picture as well and sent it to Mike, before she had stepped away from the camera and came back over to me.
"What did he say?" She asks curiously.
"He really wishes he was here. He's not here to be touching the bump. But he appreciates me sending the pictures."
"Aww. Yeah he was jealous because I was rubbing my stomach while we were skyping earlier."
"Awwww." I giggle.
"I can't wait for him to get back."
"I bet." I smile.
"I already know he's going to be all over me the second he's off the plane and he even agreed with me."
"Alex can't wait to hold me and kiss me whenever he wants."
"Awwww."
"It's torturing him that he can't do that right now."
"Aww that is so cute."
"I know, well let me know what he says about the pictures." I laugh, when I give you my phone to hold onto before I walk over after they change the background for my pictures.
The photographer tells me what to do and I do the poses. Aly snaps the pictures and sends them to Alex, giggly quietly. There was one picture that I did, that was the 2nd to last one where I had my left hand resting on my neck and my right hand was planted flat on my chest/shoulder/neck. Along with that I had a smirk on my face as I looked into the camera. Once she took the picture and sent it to Alex, she couldn't wait to see his reaction to it. Sure enough, seconds later the phone buzzes with a text from him. His text says, 'She's so lucky I wasn't doing anything at the second you sent that.' Aly cracks up. 'Haha lucky for you.' 'I'm getting her back for that.' He replies. 'I'll warn her haha'
Then I got to my last picture and Aly snapped a shot of that before sending it to Alex, and I stepped away from the camera and over to her.
"Your husband says he's getting you back for this." She snickers.
"Oh lord." I shake my head in amusement.
"He also said you were lucky that he wasn't doing anything the second that I sent that."
"Well the 2nd to last picture anyway." She adds.
"Yes."
"The mental image was hilarious." She adds, laughing.
"I bet it was."
"Are we done here?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Time to change then."
"Yup. First I'll need my phone back."
She hands it over. Then we head out back again and get changed back into our regular clothes, and I take my hair down and everything.
"Oh that feels so much better." I say after walking out.
"I bet it does." Aly laughs.
Then my phone makes a noise, signaling that a tweet has been posted. I go into it and I see that Alex had posted the 2nd to last picture that Aly sent him. Alex's caption says 'Can I just say I married a gorgeously, sexy woman? Wow.'
"Oh jeez...he would say that."
"Say what?"
I show her the tweet of the picture with the caption and she reads it.
"Ahaha nice."
"Why do I have a feeling that when he gets back, I'm in for a boatload of torture?"
"Because it's true." She snickers.
"Well you may be in for some torture as well you know." I add.
"Probably. If he ever stops touching my stomach." She laughs lightly.
"True."
"I think he'll be more interested in that first."
"Of course he will."
"Its been odd not having him constantly touching it all the time." She says as we go out to the car.
"Well just a couple more days and then it won't be odd anymore."
"Right."
"So what now? Lunch and then back to the condo for swimming, up until we leave for the club?"
"Yeah, that sounds good."
We get back to the car and pile into it, then head off to some place for lunch. I was busy going through my my messages from other people, that is until I got a new one from Alex and I opened it. From what I saw, I had almost dropped my phone on the floor, but I caught it just in time.
"What was that about?" Aly asks curiously, glancing at me from the corner of her eye while she's driving.
"Oh nothing, just lost the grip on my phon."
"Riiiiiiight."
Then I send him a message back saying 'Almost dropped my phone, thank you very much.'
'Now you know how I felt.'
'Well I'm sorry, I was told to do that pose for the picture.'
'Well still. I'm getting you back for that.'
'Got to wait a couple days before being able to physically get me back for that.'
'Gives me more time to plan.'
'You and that evil mind of yours.'
'You love it.'
'Uh huh...'
'I love you.'
'Love you too.' I reply back, before putting my phone away.
"Talking to your hubby?" Aly asks as we pull up to a restaurant.
"Yep, with the next couple days he's planning out the torture he's gonna give me. Oh boy." I laugh.
"You are so in for it." She laughs too.
"Oh yeah. So don't be surprised if you don't see me the rest of the day Sunday after they get back."
"I won't. Its not like Mike is going to let me out of his sight anyway."
"Very true." I nod, as we get out of the car after parking.
"Now to feed ourselves and Jellybean."
"Right." I add, as we walk inside the restaurant.
We go up and order, waiting for our food before we sit down and eat. While we're eating another tweet pops up on my phone and I go into it, seeing that it's from Mike and he tweeted one of the pictures I sent him of you and the caption with it read 'Can't wait to be back home with my lovely wife, and our Jellybean. For those of you who don't know what I mean by Jellybean, that means our baby.'
"Awww what?" Aly asks.
"Look what Mike tweeted..." I smile, handing her my phone to look at.
"Awwwwww, he is too sweet sometimes."
"I know, which is why you two were like made for each other." I add, as she hands me my phone back.
She smiles.
"You and Alex too."
"You've been saying that ever since we found out about him. Then when I went on the road with Mike a little ways into NXT he was saying that too."
"We say it because its true."
"Well obviously because if it wasn't true we wouldn't be married right now."
"Right."
"And then of course the same goes for you."
She smiles softly. Then just as I go back to eating, my phone buzzes again and it's another picture from Alex. Luckily I had swallowed my food before looking at the picture.
"Him and the pictures..."
"He's sending you pictures?" Aly laughs.
"It appears so...from the gym."
"Oh boy."
"Wait a minute...that's why you almost dropped your phone in the car!" You add.
My cheeks turn read and she laughs.
"He caught me offguard..."
"I bet he did."
Once we finish our food, we throw our trash away and head back out to the car, and then we got in and headed back to the condo to relax with some swimming for the rest of the day until we go out tonight. We get changed into our suits and go outside to the pool. We set the towels down and everything else. I decide to sit on the edge of the pool for now, with my feet and legs in the water, before actually going in. Aly slides into the water with a pool floatie and rests on it while swimming lazily. After a while Aly's phone starts ringing.
"Oh I know who that is." She giggles.
She laughs lightly and climbs out of the pool to answer it."
"Hello?"
"Told you I'd call you before the show."
"I know."
"So what did you do so far besides the photoshoot?"
"We went shopping and had lunch. Now we're swimming and relaxing before we go out clubbing later."
"Sounds like fun."
"Mmhmm."
"Well you go and have all the fun you can...for me."
"I will."
"The show's about to start, so I'll talk to you later okay?"
"Alright, be careful. I love you."
"I'll try, and I love you too."
They both say bye and hang up. Aly puts her phone down and gets back into the pool. By now I've gotten into the pool myself and started floating around lazily.
"Mmm...this is relaxing."
"It really is." I nod in agreement.
"Too bad we don't have our human pool floaties."
"I know...boooo."
"I dread the day when I have to stop traveling. That's going to be horrible."
"Awwww."
"36 weeks is the general cut off that I've been hearing from the doctors."
"Ah, it's gonna be less exciting without you around at that time."
"Yeah...I just hope I don't go into labor while you guys are away."
"That wouldn't be good at all, let's hope that doesn't happen."
"Yeah."
"But I'm sure Mike would drop everything to rush out to you."
"Of course."
"We all would in fact."
"I know."
"That'll be a day to remember."
"Mmhmm." She nods.
"Little Jellybean..."
"Jellybean will finally be here." She says wistfully.
"And Mike will be so happy."
She smiles.
"I can't wait to see his face."
"Wonder if he'll cry like he did when he heard the heartbeat for the first time."
"It'd be so cute if he did."
"I know, especially since I haven't seen him cry yet."
"Its really sweet. He gets embarassed but I told him that its not anything to be ashamed of. Its very sweet that he gets emotional over Jellybean." She giggles lightly.
"Awwww."
She smiles.
"I can see Alex doing the same thing...with you of course." She adds.
"Because you know he would. He'll be just like Mike and have the magnetic hands and everything." She continues.
"Yeah...when that happens. Not entirely sure when it will."
"I have a feeling it'll come soon. Especially if your husband has anything to say about it." She giggles.
"Uh huh..."
She laughs at the redness creeping across my cheeks.
"I'm sure a lot of things happen more and more now that you're married." She snickers.
She laughs harder when I blush more.
"If I turn any redder, I'll be a tomato." I comment.
"You'll be a lobster." She snickers.
"Your fault..."
"Sorry."
"But it's trueee." She adds.
"Speaking from experience?" I shoot back.
"Well duh." She scoffs.
"Okay then..." I laugh.
She shrugs, laughing a little. We continue to swim around for a while, before getting out and relaxing a bit, and then going back into the water. This goes on for the rest of the day, before we finally decide to rest before getting ready to go out to the club. After a while I get up and poke my head into Aly's bedroom. She's laying in bed asleep, one hand resting on her stomach and the other holding onto Mizzy the bear. I say 'awwwww' to myself, and decide to let her keep sleeping for a while. But before I leave, I pull out my phone and snap a picture to send to Mike. Clearly he'll get it later because of the show and everything, but after I take the picture I head back to my room, deciding to pass the time with playing games on my computer. I play games for a bit and then check on Aly again. This time she's awake and stretching.
"Hey sleepyhead." I laugh.
She sticks her tongue out.
"I think it's a good time to start getting ready to go, what do you think?"
"Sounds good."
I nod and head back to my room, going into the bathroom to take a shower first because of all the chlorine from the pool. After getting out of the shower, I wrap a towel around myself and then walk out into the bedroom. I go to head into the closet to find something to wear, but that's when my computer starts chiming signaling the skype again.
"Oh boy." I mutter, giggling a bit as I walk over to my computer.
I accept the skype call and once again Alex's face appears on the screen.
"Hey." I greet.
His eyes widen as he takes my image in.
"...hi..."
"The reason why I look like this...I was just about to get ready to go out." I explain, giggling at his reaction.
"Out where?" He says after getting ahold of himself.
"I'm going out to the club with Aly."
"Oh."
"Don't worry, it's just gonna be me and her having fun."
"I know. I just wish I could be there with you. Especially in case guys try to make moves on you."
"I promise not to let any guys make moves on me. Aly won't let that happen anyway."
Alex snorts in amusement, picturing her getting protective.
"Don't underestimate her, pregnant or not."
"I'm not, it's amusing to picture her getting protective."
"Well we're like sisters and we watch out for each other."
"I know."
"Well I'm gonna go pick something out to wear, I shall be back. Don't go anywhere."
"I won't."
I get up and walk away into the closet to search for something to wear. But as I walked away, he cursed inwardly. I find the dress that I got when Aly and I went shopping and decide to put that on. I grab shoes on my way out and put those on as I make my way out of the closet. I step back in front of the computer screen.
"What do you think?" I ask.
"Amazing as always. When did you get that?"
"Aly and I went shopping before the photoshoot."
"I really like it."
"You always like what I wear."
"Because you look amazing in everything you wear."
I smile at him, blushing a little.
"Ah I see blushing going on."
Of course this makes me blush more.
"I love when you blush, it's cute." Alex grins.
"Of course that's when you try to hide it and I make you look at me, then I kiss you." He adds.
"Too bad you aren't able to do that this time." I reply.
"I know, but just a couple days left..."
"And then we'll be back together again." I smile.
"By the way, how was the match? Brutal I'm assuming." I add.
"Yeah." Alex winces.
"I wish I could help you feel better right now." I sigh.
"I know but you can when I get to Boston."
"Which I can't wait for."
"Me too love, me too."
Then I reach over and dig through my jewelry that I had in a bag on the bed, putting each of everything I picked out on. Alex watches with a smile on his face.
"You know it's really too bad you're not here. Got some new lip gloss and everything today while Aly and I were out."
"Don't tell me thaaaat. That's not fair." Alex whines.
"Sorry."
"No you're not."
"Just count this as part of your torture you got."
"And I plan on getting you back for all of it."
"Looking forward to it." I snicker.
Alex just smirks.
"But hey, aren't you tired? I mean it's got to be really late there, like maybe even Sunday morning? Don't you have a flight to New Zealand?"
"Yeah but I wanted to talk to you and see your face." He shrugs.
"Awwww, just so that you could sleep better? I know you calling me the Tuesday morning here that is, and I went to sleep perfectly after that."
He nods.
"That's so sweet."
"Just being honest."
"Well it's still sweet."
"Because I love you."
"And I love you too."
Alex yawns.
"I'll let you finish getting ready. You two have fun and be careful."
"We will, you get plenty of sleep."
"I'll try. Love you."
"Love you too."
I end the Skype call and go into the bathroom to do my makeup and everything else. In the meantime, Aly's busy getting ready herself until her computer makes a noise as well, signaling the Skype call clearly from Mike. She rolls her eyes a little, having just untied her robe when the computer dinged. She walks over to it and accept the call.
"Hi babe." She greets Mike as his image comes up on the screen.
He doesn't say anything at first, he's speechless and staring with wide eyes and raised eyebrows. He snaps out of it after a few moments.
"...hey."
"He speaks." She teases.
"Haha." he says dryly.
"I was just about to start getting ready." She explains.
"Ah, for the club right?"
"Mmhmm."
"Then I caught you at a good time, I get to see what you're gonna be wearing." He grins.
"I'll go put it on. Hang on just a sec." She laughs lightly and wanders away from the screen to put on the purple halter dress she bought earlier in the day.
After the dress was on, she comes back onto the screen.
"Well, what do you think?"
She watches with amusement as his eyes drift over her.
"I take it that you like it then." She giggles.
"Love." He corrects.
She laughs and runs her hands over her bump.
"Of course you do. You love everything I wear."
"Because you look amazing in everything."
"Especially things that show off that." Mike adds, his eyes on her belly.
"You just can't wait to get back so you can touch it again." She laughs.
"Exactly." He grins.
"Just one more show and then you can finally be back."
"Yeah. I can't wait."
"Me neither."
"How was the match by the way tonight?"
He winces and she sighs.
"Bad huh?"
"More kendo sticks and the table again."
"I'll make it better when you get back, promise." She says, touching the screen.
"I know, and I appreciate it." He smiles.
"I know. It's the least I can do since you always take good care of me."
"Well you're my wife and I love you, that's why I take good care of you."
"And you're carrying Jellybean so of course I want to take care of you." He adds.
"I know." She smiles lightly.
"How is Jellybean anyway?"
"Jellybean is good."
"That's good."
"I wish you were here to go out with us."
"I know, I wish that too."
"But Dolce and I will have fun for you."
"Good. You be sure and do that." He chuckles
She giggles.
"Oh by the way, I just got the picture from Carly of you sleeping with Mizzy. So cute."
"She took a picture?"
"Yes she did."
"Sneaky..."
"She's learned from the best..."
"You both have."
She laughs.
"So what time is it there?" You ask.
"I don't know, its late...or really early..."
"You should get some sleep."
"I know, but I wanted to see you before I even thought about sleeping."
"Aw..." She smiles.
"It helps me sleep better if I talk to you or see you before I go to sleep."
"Me too, its why I love Mizzy because I can hear your voice before I sleep."
"I knew that'd help." He smiles.
"It does, thank you."
"You're welcome."
"But really. You should get to sleep, I know you're tired. I can tell you're about to fall asleep."
"Yeah...sounds like a good idea."
"I love you."
"Love you too."
They say bye and end the call. She goes to get her shoes on and finishes getting ready. When we both were finished getting ready, we grabbed what we needed and walked out of our bedrooms, meeting each other in the living room.
"Alright, let's do this." She laughs a little.
"Time to have fun." I add, laughing too.
"Yup." She nods as we leave, locking the door behind us.
"You know I wonder if the club has singing or something, because we haven't done that in forever."
"Ooh yeah. Its been a while."
"We can even record one another...I'm sure the guys wouldn't want to miss seeing that."
"Of course not."
"We're definitely gonna have fun now." I say as we get into the car.
"Totally." She laughs as we drive off.
"Alex wishes he could be here with us and go with us tonight, especially in case guys try to make moves on me."
"Hah. I'd like to see them try."
"That's what I told him. Like they would be able to with you around, I can take care of myself but still. He laughed at the thought of you getting protective."
"He would."
"Wanna know something else? I had just gotten out of the shower and had the towel around me when Alex sent the skype call."
"Ahahaha poor Alex. I had my robe open when Mike did."
"Poor Mike." I laugh.
"He couldn't even talk at first, he was speechless." She laughs.
"Well he wasn't expecting it, so he would be speechless."
"True."
"Alex's eyes just widened as he took my image in. Then as I walked away a bit after to change, I swear I heard him muttering curses."
"He would." I snicker.
"I'm so in for it when he comes back."
"Oh yes you are."
"So are you though."
"This is true." She giggles.
Then we pull up to the club and find a spot in the parking lot to park. Once we park, we get out and head inside.
"Ooooh good song." Aly remarks as we get inside.
"So dancing first I'm assuming?" I laugh.
"Yeah!"
I follow her along, and out onto the floor. Once we got to a good spot on the floor, we started dancing along to the song. We dance for a bit and she rolls her eyes as she sees a bunch of guys watching us.
"They wish they were dancing with us..." I comment.
"They wish." Aly agrees.
After dancing for a while, we decide to take a break for now and go find a table to sit at.
"Those guys are still watching." Aly shakes her head.
"Creeper alert." I laugh.
"No kidding." She laughs too.
"It's only a matter of time before they come over to us. Whether we're sitting here or we're out there dancing."
"I know. They're going to get a rude awakening." She smirks.
"Big time." She nods.
Sure enough, two of the guys watching us, slowly walk over.
"Here we go..." I mutter, rolling my eyes.
"Hey ladies." One says, obviously trying to be smooth.
We both say 'hi' and acknowledge him, but then turn our heads back to the dance floor just watching everyone else.
"My friend and I wanted to know if you two would like some good company." The other speaks up with a smirk.
"No thanks, we're good." I reply.
"Are you sure? You two look awful lonely." The first says.
Aly rolls her eyes and turns to them.
"Alright look, we're both married and I'm three months pregnant. Buh bye." She waves mockingly.
"And don't even ask where our husbands are, because that's really none of your business." I add.
"So why don't you just turn around and walk away while you still can." Aly continues.
"I believe that would be the wise decision."
They both mutter and stalk off.
"They never learn." She shakes her head.
"Nope."
"Wanna get some drinks?"
"Sure, sounds good." I nod.
We get up and head to the bar. We order our drinks and sit on the stools there as we wait.
"More stalkers." I mutter, tilting my head in the direction of more guys that are eyeing us.
"Oh joy." Aly says sarcastically.
"We just can't get a break."
"Apparently not."
Thankfully our drinks were brought to us in time and we headed back to the table, even though that didn't mean the other guys wouldn't come over to us. We notice them creeping over closer but decide to try and ignore them while talking. Since I can see them out of the corner of my eye, and one of them is about to talk, I stop him.
"Stop while you're ahead...look at the hand." I say without looking at him and hold out my hand with my rings on my finger.
They look at Aly.
"Married and pregnant." She puts up her hand to show her rings as well.
"Sorry."
They walk away.
"At least they were nicer about it." She comments.
"Yeah, those types of guys you have to respect for that."
"Yeah."
"So it looks like there is singing here, what're you gonna sing?"
"No idea."
"I'm debating on an upbeat song or a slower one." I add.
"Ah."
"Aha, I got it. Get your phone ready."
"Okay." She laughs, pulling it out.
I grin as I get up from the chair and head out to the dance floor and over to the dj on the stage.
"Uh-oh, I have a feeling she's going to torture Alex again." Aly laughs.
I talk with the dj for a bit and you see a bunch of nodding and whatnot. The dj gets the crowd settled down and I give Aly a thumbs up before the music starts. She starts the video, trying not to giggle. The crowd gets all hyped up again with the music, and by the time the song was over everyone was practically cheering and clapping and whatnot. Aly gives a thumbs up and a big smile. I then walk off the stage and back over to the table and sit back down.
"Alex is going to go crazy." Aly laughs as she sends him the video.
"Oh yeah." I smile.
"My turn." Aly grins.
Then she gets up and does the same thing, waiting for the current song playing to end. She tells the DJ what song to play and he puts it on as she gets up there. I take out my phone and start recording her singing and I laugh because this is gonna drive Mike crazy too. She finishes the song and hops off the stage to cheers and applause.
"That's gonna drive Mike crazy too." I laugh as I send the video to him.
"Good." She smirks.
After sitting there for a while, it was starting to get late so we decided to go out and dance for a few more songs or so, before heading back home. A few more dances and Aly starts yawning.
"Well time to head home...you're yawning."
"Mm...okay."
"Want me to drive?"
"Probably a better idea." She nods.
She hands me the keys as we start heading towards the doors. When we got outside, we got into the car and headed back to the condo. We get there and go in.
"Night Dolce." She yawns, hugging me.
"Night."
