The night seemed to pass by quickly, but we all had to get up early the next morning to head to the airport. I wake up to a light shaking of my shoulder, and I just groan and roll over and end up rolling over into Alex, which of course makes me more comfortable and not wanting to get up. There's more shaking of my shoulder.
"Time to get up love."
"...no...comfortable..."
"You can get comfortable again on the plane."
"Five more minutes."
"Fine but if you aren't moving in five minutes then I'm tickling you."
I just mumble incoherently and he slides out of bed to start getting ready. Five minutes pass and I feel fingers digging into my sides.
"I'm up...I'm up!" I say, squirming around.
"Better be." He chuckles.
"Now all you need to do is get out of the bed." He adds, taking the blanket off of me.
"Boooo..." I groan and slide off the bed.
"Sorry, but we have that plane to catch."
"I know." I sigh.
"This flight after flight after flight thing is wearing me down." I add.
"I know, I know. It doesn't help that you're pregnant either." Alex sighs.
"Right, but I should be fine."
"Let me know if you get too worn out, we'll work something out so you can rest okay?"
"I'll do that." I nod, leaning up and kissing him.
He kisses back for a little bit before releasing me.
"We need to get packed up and everything." He says, kissing my head.
"I know, just let me get dressed first."
Alex nods and goes to finish packing his things. I just grab comfortable clothes out of my bag and change, before brushing my hair out. I put sneakers on and a hoodie, before packing my things up. Alex takes the bags and puts them by the front door. We then go and cuddle on the couch in the living room. In the bedroom with Aly and Mike, he actually had no trouble getting her up this time, since she actually got a good amount of sleep last night. She gets dressed and puts her hair up along with the rest of her bathroom routine before she puts the last of her things into her bags.
"Back to another home of ours." Mike chuckles.
"Yup."
"Can't wait to see you be a dork tonight." She laughs.
He laughs.
"You always enjoy that, don't you?"
"Yes, yes I do."
"You just get to be such a goof on these late night shows."
He nods, grinning.
"Who knows what you have in store for tonight."
"It's going to be fun." He laughs.
"I'm sure it will be."
"And more questions about Jellybean I'm sure." She adds.
"Right, can't escape those."
"Nope."
Then they grab their things once they were all packed up and they leave the bedroom, and put their things by the door too, then join Alex and I in the living room.
"Somebody's been hit by the preggo fatigue." Aly remarks as she sees me practically asleep in Alex's arms.
I just nod, and snuggle into him more.
"It's the flight after flight thing that's affected her the most." Alex explains.
"Ah. Well the best thing for dealing with the fatigue is to take naps. I'm sure you remember how many times I napped all these weeks.I'm starting to get more energy now that I'm past the first trimester."
"I'll make sure she does that." He nods.
"I did tell her to let me know if she gets too worn out. If she does we'll work something out so she can rest." He adds.
Aly nods. Then we all hear the sound of a car horn outside the house.
"Time to go."
We all get our bags in the trunk. Mike locks up the house and off we go to the airport. We do the usual and check in and everything, but our gates are in different places this time. We stop at me and Alex's gate.
"We'll see you guys in a few days." Mike says.
I nod while yawning, but I'm awake enough to hug Aly and Mike.
"Get some rest." She says to me.
"Believe me, I will."
"Take care of yourself and Bear, okay?"
"I will, don't worry." I nod.
She hugs me one last time before moving over to hug Alex.
"You be sure and take care of her too."
"Oh I will." Alex assures her.
"Good."
"Bye guys. Have a good flight."
"You too."
We go check in and then sit down in the waiting area while Mike and Aly walk to their own gate and do the same. It didn't take too long before the plane had arrived and the gate opened for everyone to board. They got up from where they were sitting and walked through the gate, walking onto the plane and finding their seats. They get comfortable in their seats and it isn't long before the plane takes off. Shortly after the same happens for me and Alex. We get on the plane and find our seats, getting comfortable. Once I get comfortable and the plane takes off a short time later, I listen to my ipod as I sleep for basically the whole flight. Our plane lands first since our flight was shorter compared to Aly and Mike's. Alex nudges me awake and I reluctantly get up, and we head off the plane and into the airport. We do the usual by going over to baggage claim to get our things, before leaving the airport and getting into a taxi, which takes us to my place.
"Hommmeeeee." I sigh happily as we get in my front door.
"One of many." Alex chuckles, closing the door behind him.
"True." I laugh a little.
"I think I'm gonna go get more rest. I want to get as much as I can before we go to the signing and show for FCW." I add.
"You want me to lay with you?"
"You know I would never say no to that." I smile.
Alex smiles back, following me to the bedroom with the bags. I kick my shoes off and climb onto the bed and sigh happily as he sets the bags down and closes the door behind him.
"So comfortable." I mumble.
Alex chuckles and climbs on the bed with me.
"And now it's even better...my big pillow." I say, shifting and snuggling into his side.
"Good to know I'm comfy." He laughs, putting his arm around me.
"Always will be."
He nods and kisses my head. I end up dozing off, but he stays awake. Aly and Mike have now landed in LA and went through the same thing that Alex and I went through. They pull up to the condo in the taxi and get their things out of the trunk and everything. They walk inside and go up, where Mike unlocks the door and they walk in.
"Home." She smiles.
"Yup. It's great to be back.
"Mmhmm." She nods.
Mike looks at her.
"Nap?" He asks.
"Actually I think I'm good."
"You sure?"
"Yes I'm sure." She kisses his cheek.
"Alright, well I'll go put our things in the bedroom, you just do what you want."
She nods and as he does that, she wanders out to the pool, taking her shoes off and sticking her feet in the water. Mike comes out shortly after and sits next to her. She scooches over against his side and leans against him.
"Anymore flutters this morning?" He asks.
"Not yet." She shakes her head.
"I guess she's being calm in there today."
"Guess so."
"But hey I at least felt those flutters yesterday. It's amazing that happens."
"Yes it is. Just imagine how you'll feel when she really starts kicking in there."
"Probably more amazed than I was."
She nods lightly.
"Can't wait for that though."
"Me either."
"Love you." He says kissing her cheek.
"Love you too." She smilse and kisses his lips in return.
"And I love you too." He says leaning down to her stomach, after pulling away and he rubs it gently.
She watches him with a smile on his face.
"That's gonna be your new thing now isn't it?"
Mike glances up and nods at her.
"Of course it is." He grins.
"Cute." She laughs lightly.
Then he leans back up, and wraps an arm around her, pulling her close. He then starts to kiss at her neck. She sucks in a breath and tilts her head unconsciously. He smirks against her skin and starts to move to her jawline. She leans into his touch. Then he moves to her lips, but before he even touches them, he goes back along her jawline and back to her neck. She sighs and bites her lip. He only nips at the skin a few times before kissing it and pulling away, torturing her like she's been doing to him. She grumbles quietly, trying to lean into his touch.
"I'm getting you back for what you've done to me lately."
She whines lightly.
"There'll be more later."
She grumbles and sighs.
"I'd keep going now but I may leave marks and we can't have that for tonight."
"I know." She pouts.
Then she reaches out and presses into noe of his indents out of pure fun.
"Heyyyy." He gives her a look.
"Fair game." She sticks her tongue out.
"But you've done so much for the past few days. How is it fair?"
"It just is." She shrugs.
"Uh huh..suuure."
She just smiles.
"So any ideas of what you want to do today, before tonight?"
She shakes her head.
"Swimming maybe? I know you love that. Maybe later a walk along the beach during the sunset too?" He suggests.
"Okay." She agrees.
"Alright Love Boy." She laughs.
"Hah, yes." He says, getting up and heading inside.
She gets up and grabs her shoes, bringing them inside. She walks into the bedroom, finding him searching through her things for a swimsuit. She watches him with an amused smile. He ends up picking out a black and white zebra designed swimsuit. She takes it and kisses his cheek before she goes to change into it. He grins and gets changed himseld, an then waits for her to come out. She comes out and sets her clothes on the bed. Then they go through the usual sunscreen routine, before grabbing towels and heading outside. She already knows how the water feels so she just sets her towel down and carefully jumps into the water. He makes sure she's far enough away and there's enough room for him to jump in. Once there in, he does so. She bites her lip as he comes up out of the water.
"I see that you know." He smirks.
"Hmm?" She asks distractedly.
"You biting your lip."
She lets go of her lip, biting the inside of her cheek instead.
"You can't hide anything from me." He grins.
She giggles faintly, looking sheepish.
"That's what I thought."
She ends up biting her lip again as he starts swimming towards her.
"I'm gonna get you."
"Eep." She squeaks and starts swimming away.
"You can't go very far you know."
She swims over towards the stairs, turning to look at him.
"Don't even think about it."
She moves up the stairs grinning.
"Noooo."
She moves up more.
"I'll just have to come after you then."
She squeals and dashes up the rest of the stesps, grabbing her towel and wrapping it around herself.
"Oh no you don't." He says, swimming over to the stairs and getting out, grabbing his towel.
She laughs and slips inside, heading for the bedroom.
"You're in for it now." He says to himself, before heading inside and following her.
She goes into their bathroom and starts to dry herself off with her towel.
"Oh Lyssa..." She hears Mike call from in the bedroom.
She snickers quietly while taking her hair out of it's ponytail and rubbing the towel over her head to try and dry her hair somewhat. Then she starts to brush her hair, so it doesn't look as messy. She hears him calling for her again and she giggles. She shakes her head so her hair isn't super flat. Then she decides to have him find her, so she stays in the bathroom and stays quiet purposely. She bites her lip and tries not to make any noise.
"There's only one place you can be..." He trails off as she hears him close to the bathroom door.
She slips over so that when the door opens, she'll be behind it. Of course the door opens and he walks in, not finding her. She chews her lip, giggling silently.
"Okay, I know you're in here
He steps further and doesn't turn around yet, so she carefully slips around the door and into the room. He looks everywhere possible in the bathroom for her, until he walks out and he sees her.
"How did you...but you weren't..."
"I was behind the door in there." She laughs.
"...sneaky."
"Yup, you know you love it though."
"Mmhmm, I do." He smirks, slowly making his way over to her.
She starts to back up.
"You really asked for it didn't you?"
"Asked for what?" She asks, giggling.
"You're so gonna get it now..."
"Really?" She teases.
"Yes."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Really?"
"The really game? Really?"
"Really."
Then once he gets close enough to her, she ends up falling back on the bed. she makes a small 'oof' noise and he smirks.
"I got you now."
"So you do..."
He starts moving closer again, which makes her scooch back on the bed, before he ends up hovering above her.
"Hi." She says quietly as they lock eyes.
"Hi." He says back.
She reaches up and runs her fingers over his torso. He just grins, before he leans down and captures his lips with hers, his hands roaming. She kisses back, her eyes sliding shut. His hands move to her back and make their way up to the top of her swimsuit. She squirms a bit, mumbling 'no'.
"Why not?" He pulls his mouth away.
"Not yet." She replies, pulling him back down into another kiss.
He just grumbles but kisses back. She resumes running her hands over his chest and sides. And since she hasn't done this in a while, she moves her hands up and dragged her nails across the back of his neck. She giggles into the kiss when she feels and hears him growl. Then she does it repeatedly, just because it's fun. Mike reaches and pulls her hans away, pinning them to the bed. She pouts but that just causes him to take her lower lip between his and nibble on it. She groans quietly, squeezing his hands.
"My turn." He says, releasing her lip briefly before taking it back between his and nibbling on it again.
She makes another noise. He does what he did last time and repeated the process of releasing and taking her lip between his, clearly torturing her more. She whines, shifint underneath him and squeezing his hands. Then he releases it for good this time and moves down her neck, nipping at the skin as he goes. But not hard enough to leave marks. She tilts her head to give him mor access. He doesn't stay there long, moving down to her collarbone. She sucks in a breath. Moving along her collarbone he continues to nip at the skin before moving back up her neck and to her ear. She squeezes his hands tightly and tries to muffle herself in his shoulder. He lets go of one hand and again tries to go for her swimsuit top.
"Now can I?"
She shakes her head and before he has time to react, she rolls them over so now he's under her. She smirks at him and laces their fingers together, pressing his hands down to the bed while she leans down and starts to lightly nibble and suck on his earlobe. His grip on her hands tightens as he makes a quiet noise. She releases his earlob and starts to kiss a path down his jaw, barely brushing his lips before dipping own to his neck. She moves down his neck and then down his chest. He realizes where this is going and tenses, mumbling 'no' repeatedly. She pauses as she reaches his abs.
"Shhh..." She giggles.
He doesn't listen and keeps mumbling 'no' repeatedly. She shakes her ehad and the shrugs, putting her lips to his abs. She feels him tense even more under her lips. She laughs quietly and kisses all over his abs before moving to one of his indents. He starts to squirm as she mvoes there, trying to get her to move away. She pushes down on his hips slightly so he can't move as much. Then she kisses along his indent, also lightly nipping and sucking gently at his skin. His grip on her hands gets even tighter and he shakes his as she tortures him. She smiles against his skin. Then she moves over to the other indent, doing the same thing as before. She hears him groan kind of loudly and she giggles, moving back up his body until she ends up at his lips. He kisses back and starts to struggle to get his hands free. She finally lets go of his hands and cups his jaw in one of her hands, her other holding onto his shoulder. He moves his hands yet again to the back of her swimsuit top, still wanting to take that off. She decides not to protest this time. He smirks against her lips as he begins to take that off. She lifts up, letting him free the top and toss that aside. And it doesn't stop there, because the rest comes off along with what he had one.
With me and Alex, I finally start to stir in the late afternoon. As I'm waking up, I feel Alex rubbing my stomach. After I open my eyes, I stretch a bit before shifting and finding him watching me.
"Hi sleepyhead." He smiles.
"Hi." I say back, snuggling into him.
"Feeling better?"
"Yeah, the long nap helped."
"Good." Alex kisses the top of my head.
"I hate to make you move but, we have to get ready to go to the signing." He adds.
"Awww."
"I'm comfortable though..." I add.
"I know love, but we can't be late."
I nod before pulling from his arms and sliding off the bed. Then I go into my closet and search for something to change into. After finding something, I get dressed in the closet before going into the bathroom to do my hair and everything. Alex gets ready himself and then as usual, wraps me in his arms while I finish doing my hair.
"Cuddly." I giggle.
"Love you." Alex kisses my neck.
"Love you too."
I finish and then Alex reluctantly lets me go as the two of us leave the bathroom. As he's getting his things together I'm getting my shoes on. Once we were both ready, we grabbed what we needed before leaving the room and going out to the car. Then we head to the Orlando Armory for the signing.
"This should be interesting." Alex says to me, chuckling.
"Yeah, it should be. You're having a match I'm assuming, because of your things."
"Yeah, tag teaming with Gabriel and Lucky."
"Ah. Sounds fun."
"And don't worry, even though I'm tagging with Lucky...he's not gonna get near you."
"I wasn't really worried about him anyway. He comes close to me and I'll smack him."
"I know you will."
I smile and kiss Alex's cheek.
"And the signing is gonna be with Gabriel and Mason Ryan."
"Interesting."
"I think I'd rather sit between you and Justin." I add.
"Alright, we can do that."
After a while we get to the Armory and Alex tells me where to park. We get out and I lace my fingers with his as we walk inside, and he goes to drop his things off before we head to the area where the signing is gonna be. We sit down and Alex pulls my chair up close to his and I put my legs across his lap.
"Before you ask..yes I am comfortable." I laugh.
"Good to hear." He chuckles.
I lean over and steal a kiss, while we wait for time to pass by for the signing to start. Alex has ahold of my left hand and amuses himself by playing with my rings.
"Having fun?" I giggle, leaning my head on his shoulder.
"Yup." Alex laughs.
Then as time passes, Justin shows up and then Mason. Soon the signing starts and everyone that was there for the show were lined up for the autographs. Alex lets go of my hand so he can sign. I take my phone out and do things on that while he signs things for people, occasionally putting it down when they ask me to sign. After a while the signing is finally over. We decide to hang out at the table some more, because the show isn't for another half hour or so. Justin also sticks around. He and Alex talk about their times in FCW while I listen. I laugh to myself when they talk about the funny stuff that's happened. The time seemed to pass by fast, and before I knew it, the show was getting ready to start. So I move my legs and we get up, and head to the back. Alex gets changed and I smile at him. I playfully whistle as I look him over...not spacing out this time. Alex smirks.
"Like what you see?" He asks teasingly.
"You know I do." I grin.
"I may have to torture you later." I add.
"Oh god."
"You love it."
"Evilness."
"Maybe, but you can always get me back for it."
"True..."
"...or I could just get you now while I'm ahead." He continues.
"You have a match shortly." I warn him.
"You're right...darn."
"Another time." I laugh lightly.
"Fine, but I at least get to do this..." He says, walking up to me and kissing me briefly.
"Right." I giggle after he pulls away.
Then we head to where we'll being going out to go out to the ring. We wait for a while, before Justin and Lucky show up. Thankfully we didn't need to wait long before Alex's music hit and I was away from Lucky for at least a bit while Alex and I went out to the ring. I kiss Alex and exchange quiet 'I love you's' before he gets up into the ring. Then Justin comes out after Alex's music fades, and the same goes for Lucky. I ignore him as we all wait for their opponents. They all come out one by one and get into the ring. I stay ringside and watch the match and do the normal encouraging when Alex is in the ring. I get involved when I feel the need to while the ref is distracted. In the end Alex pinned the guy who was in the ring with him and his hand was raised in victory along with Justin's and Lucky's. I clap and cheer. I decide to wait until Alex gets out of the ring, just to avoid Lucky at all costs. Once Alex gets out of the ring, I hug him before leaning up and kissing him. Then we head to the back.
"Good match." I tell him.
"Well it helped that you got involved to help me."
"I couldn't help it." I smile.
"If I can't compete in the ring, I gotta do something." I add.
"Just be careful." Alex says, kissing my cheek.
"I know, and I was careful out there. Now go get changed so we can go back home."
Alex nods and gets changed. After he gets changed, he walks out. Since he wasn't involved in anymore matches for the night, we head back out to the car and head back home. It takes a while because of traffic, but we make it back.
"Now we can relax." I sigh happily as we go inside.
I go around and turn on the lights, before going over to the door leading to the backyard and open that to let air in, and then I sit down on the couch, taking my shoes off. Alex drops his bag off in the bedroom and then comes out to sit beside me, pulling me close.
"Feeling tired?" He asks.
"Actually not really. I guess that nap today helped."
"Well that's good. Windy said it would."
"Yeah well she knows...she's been through it. What I am though is hungry."
"Is it something in particular?"
"No, just plain hungry. Didn't eat yet tonight so..."
"I'll go make us something." Alex says, kissing my head.
"Alright, I'll go get changed in the meantime." I say, reaching down and grabbing my shoes to bring into the bedroom.
Alex nods and goes into the kitchen to make the two of us something to eat. I go into the bedroom and search through my dresser drawers and pick out a blue chemise and find a matching robe, before going into the bathroom to wash the makeup off and brush my hair out. After doing that I get changed and tie the robe after putting that on. I walk out of the bathroom and then the bedroom, going back out to the living room and sitting back down on the couch. A little bit later Alex brings out plates and utensils, setting them on the table before he goes and gets the drinks. I smile to myself because I know that he'll eventually be curious as to what I'm wearing. We both start to eat and during the whole meal, I notice Alex glancing at me, eyeing the robe. After I finish eating, my eyes are on the tv since it's on but I have my attention to Alex since he's been eyeing the robe the whole time. He finishes and puts his plate down. Then he scooches closer to you, running his fingers over the hem of the robe before he plays with the tie holding it shut.
"Curious?" I giggle.
"Yes..."
"Curious is good." I smile.
"Am I allowed to open it?"
"Uh huh." I nod, smirking.
Alex perks up and pulls the tie free. Once it's pulled free, he opens the robe to reveal the matching blue chemise. His eyebrows raise and his eyes widen a little.
"You like it?"
He nods wordlessly.
"I figured. There's a catch though..."
He groans.
"Whaaat."
"You can't do anything until after midnight, after we watch Lopez Tonight to see Aly and Mike."
Alex groans again, whining.
"Sorry...if we did anything now, we'd miss it. And I don't want to record it because we won't have time to watch it tomorrow since we're leaving in the morning to go to where Superstars is."
"I know..." He grumbles.
"So all this, will have to wait." I say, tieing the robe back up.
"Damn." Alex mumbles.
"Love you." I grin.
"...love you too."
"But hey, gives you enough time to go get changed yourself."
Alex sighs and gets up to go change. I turn back to the tv and watch it as I wait for him to come back out. When he does, he's just wearing pants and no shirt. I don't mind because I have many ways of torturing him while he has to wait until after midnight. He sits back down next to me and pulls me against his side. Then I purposely move the fabric of the robe across his skin so that it makes it even harder to wait. I bite back a laugh as his jaw tenses.
In the meantime, Aly was still sleeping and Mike was out in the kitchen cooking something for the both of them before they had to get ready for Lopez Tonight. The smell wakes her up and she rolls over sleepily, looking for something to put on. Since she can't find anything, because what was on the floor was her swimsuit, she takes a blanket and wraps it around herself while she goes digging through his things for a shirt of his to wear for now. She pulls on his shirt and then goes to her things and grabs a pair of boyshorts to go underneath. Then she leaves the bedroom and goes out into the kitchen. Mike's back is facing her and she walks up, wrapping her arms around him. She nuzzles her cheek against him and then presses a kiss to the back of his neck.
"Smells good."
"That's good." Mike chuckles, patting her arms with one hand.
"Figured I'd make something for us, before we have to get ready for Lopez."
"Jellybean and I both think its a great idea."
"I thought you'd both think that."
"Mmhmm." She snuggles against him.
"This is almost done, so if you go sit down I'll bring it right over to you."
She makes a noise of agreement, unwinding her arms. She kisses the back of his neck again before going to sit down. Once everything was one he got two plates together before getting the drinks all set. He grabbed the plates with the silverware and walked over, handing hers to her and placing his down on the table before going and getting the drinks. He comes back and she's already eating, her eyes on the tv. He puts the drinks on the table, before grabbing his plate and sitting down next to her and eating his food. After a bit she puts her empty plate on the table and sips at her drink while leaning into Mike's shoulder. He finishes his food shortly after and sips at his drink as well as they both watch tv. She stretches and sighs.
"I should probably go take a shower.*
"Yeah I think I should too."
"I'm assuming you want to share." She says amusedly.
"Maybe..."
"Fine but no funny business. We don't have time for that."
"I know...I promise...no funny business."
She gets up and takes her plate and things to the kitchen. He does the same after turning the tv off, and then they both head into the bedroom. They go in and take a shower, Mike mostly behaving. They get out and she puts on her underthings and a robe, toweling her hair so she dries it some before she blow-dries it. Mike is standing in the closest, looking through his suits to see which one he's going to wear for tonight. Once he picks one, he walks out and sets it on the bed before going into the bathroom to get his hair back to the faux hawk. She's bent over, blow-drying the underside of her hair when she feels a smack on her butt. She yelps and straightens up, aiming the air at him.
"Heyyy...no blow-drying me." He laughs, trying to block the hot air.
"That's what you get." She sticks her tongue out before bending back over.
"Sorry, couldn't resist."
She finishes the bottom and straightens up, working on the top now. He finishes with his faux hawk and leaves the bathroom to get dressed. She finishes the bllow-drying and then brushes her hair before she styles it. Then she goes out and finds a dress to wear, chewing her lip as she flips through the choices.
"Need my help again?" Mike asks, as he works on getting his tie on.
"Yeah I think so."
He smiles and walks over, helping her flip through the dress choices.
"I was thinking this-" She points at a pretty mint green and black dress.
"-or this." She fingers a ress that's two shades of purple and then silver.
"Hmm...I'm liking the purple one."
"Alright." She smiles and pulls it free.
She shrugs off the robe she had on and puts the dress on, pulling her hair free of the collar.
"Now I really like it." Mike smiles as he pulls on his suit jacket.
She laughs lightly and goes into the bathroom to do her makeup. Since he was all ready, he walks over and stands in the doorway of the bathroom and watches. A small smile tugs at her lips as she sees him in the mirror. She finishes quickly and walks to him.
"Just need my shoes."
He nods, and moves out of the way so she can get her shoes. She picks them up and sits on the bed to put them on. She starts to and then she's surprised by Mike coming over and taking the shoes out of her hand. He kneels down and puts it on for her, repeating the process with the other shoe.
"Thank you." She smiles, kissing him lightly.
"Anything for you." He smiles back.
She steals another chaste kiss an then stands up. She walks around grabbing whatever she may need, before they leave and head out to the car to head to Lopez Tonight.
"Back again." She laughs lightly as they sit in the dressing room.
"Uh huh, except this time no karaoke." He chuckles.
"Right."
"Although that is fun."
"It is." She nods in agreement.
Since Mike is scheduled as the 2nd and last guest on the show, they have to wait quite a while before having to get ready to go out there. Finally one of the stage hands comes to get them since it's about time for them to go out. They wait in the little area that leads to the entrance to walk out and onto the stage through the crowd. They watch the nearby screen as footage of Mike is played from various matches before they're both announced. Mike walks out first followed by her, and he walks out acting like the big dork he is of course. She follows him, laughing and shaking her head. They both walk onto the stage and shake George's hand, before Mike does the man hug thing.
"George George, you gotta say it with me, you gotta do the catchphrase with me. Are you ready?"
"I'm The Miz, and I'm awesome!" They both say, before you all sit down.
Aly laughs lightly. Mike puts his right arm around her and she rests her left hand on his thigh.
"Okay so, you have people waiting to see you..people waiting in line."
"Of course...of course. You can't deny the WWE Universe."
"No you can't deny that. What is the greatest part of being a WWE Superstar?"
"George we get to travel all over the place. I have a video game with my character in it. Kids get to play-...I have an action figure, an action figure. Yes I have an action figure. How about this? It's made by Mattel, and I've been telling Mattel, 'Listen guys. You guys make Barbie, you make The Miz action figure, get Ken out of there'."
"Put The Miz next to Barbie, I'll give Barbie the dreamhouse she's never gonna forget. Screw Ken, The Miz is in the house!"
Aly kind of looks at him like 'oh really...'.
"Granted that's my action figure. As for real life, I couldn't be happier with how it is now." He continues, smiling and kissing Aly's cheek.
She smiles and kisses his in return.
"What about Skipper? She's got a lot of friends now. What about Skipper, she's got-"
"I don't know these names of these...you know a lot about Barbie George, you know a lot about Barbie." Mike says amusedly.
"How many action figures do you have in total?"
"Uh, I would say about 20 now."
"And when you were a kid, you had to have wrestling action figures as well right?"
"Of course, I had them all I mean, I had uh..pfft the Rockers, Demolition, I was a huge huge wrestling fan as a kid."
"Is that amazing to you that you were a huge wrestling fan and now you're as big as you are?"
"It's incredible each and every day. I wake up and I go 'I'm doing my dream',"
"Absolutely. Now this is what I love. In the ring you're in control right? But you just took up golf."
"I did take up golf, I did."
"And you're not in control."
"Well let's put it this way alright? I did the Traveler's Pro-Am and in a Pro-Am you have a pro and a team. On my team my pro was Vaughn Taylor who's very very good. I had Joe Pesci...'What am I a clown?'. You know Joe Pesci...Joe Pesci alright? So I'm thinking the guy's little but he's got a big bravado, he's not gonna be better than me. And I have Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots tight end. So I got three people alright. Vaughn Taylor gets up there, knocks it 300 yards, down the fairway, beautiful shot, he's the pro right no problem. I'm thinking okay great. So Joe Pesci goes up and I'm like 'He's gonna hit it like 100 yards' right? Joe Pesci knocks it...I'm talking this guy can golf. About 250 yards right down the fairway. Gronkowski gets up, he's 6'9, 260..a house right? Nails it right down the fairway again, so me being the loud guy that I am right? There's 300 people by the way watching us do this. I buzz my caddy, I go 'Listen, when I get up there I'm gonna do a whole little thing. When you take out my driver, make sure you take it out really slowly'. And so I get the crowd rowdy, then the caddy takes it out real slowly and the crowd goes 'Ooooooooh'. Then they take off the sock and they go, 'Ahhhhhhh' and gives him a little round of applause. Getting my driver over you know? Everyone's loving my driver. So I get up there, everyone's ready. By the way before, I was hitting the ball 300 yards like when I was practicing. So I was ready, I literally reach..I've never swung a club so hard in my entire life. I hit it so hard, the ball went 10 feet."
Aly can't help but giggle.
"And it didn't even go past the ladies tees, didn't even go past the ladies tee. Now here's the thing though. I'm from Parma alright? In Parma when you don't hit it past the ladies tee, you gotta drop your pants and play the whole hole that way. So I go to drop my pants like you'rs supposed to and Chris Berman, the ESPN announcer...the host goes, 'You can't do that! What're you doing?'. It's like, 'When you don't hit it past the ladies tee, you drop your pants and play the hole that way'. 'You don't do that here, it's the PGA! This is the pros'. Like what man, this is how we do it. I'm from Parma. Straight out of Cleveland baby."
Aly shake her head in amusement.
"Alright...are your parents...is your dad supportive of wrestling? Is he a big wrestling fan?"
"Alright let me tell you about my dad alright? Well let's go with my mom first. Every Monday Night, my mother calls me and goes, 'Miz you did awesome'. You know in the parentheses...using my catchphrase...sweet right? I call my dad, 'Dad, what'd you think?'. 'Eh you were okay. But man that Evan Bourne is something else'."
Aly laughs lightly.
"And I'm like, 'Wait a second'. Now Evan Bourne does all the high flippy stuff, well my dad likes that. And I'm like, 'Well thanks a lot dad, I appreciate it'. You know what? We actually went home yesterday because I had to throw the first pitch at the Cleveland Indian's game. Strike by the way. I go home and I look on the kitchen table and there's a bunch of Topps cards with my face on it. Topps makes our baseball cards, we have wrestling cards. So I see like hundreds of them and I'm like 'Dad did you go buy a bunch of boxes of Topps cards and find these?'. He's like, 'No, I went to the copy center and made a hundred copies of them'."
"Now hold on, not only that but literally I look at it and my autograph is on there, but I didn't autograph these things. I'm like, 'Dad...' and he's like 'What? I signed them, and I give them out to everybody. You know what Mike...'. He goes, 'Mike, I get free tanning, I get free groceries, kids come over and they'll do my lawn, I just pay them with your Topps cards'. I go. 'You've got to be kidding me! You can't do that!'."
Aly shakes her head and laughs because that's so something Greg would do.
"And around...by the way this is...let me go more in depth with my dad okay? So my dad's kitchen table right? I look at the chairs around it. I sent him Wrestlemania chairs that have my face on them, and told him to give one to mom, give one to all the family...they're collectibles right? I gave him four and I go, 'Dad why are they around the kitchen table?'. And he goes, 'What? It's a set!'. I was like, 'Dad, you can't do that. You have to give one to mom, you have to give one to the family'. 'No! I'm not giving them to them, it's a set!'. Unbelievable."
"So what's the thing that you want to do now that you haven't done?"
"Listen, I've done everything. I've done reality shows, I have done it all. I've been in WWE...you know and here's the thing though. With all the reality shows, all the WWE...I can do everything. I can do American Idol, I can go on Dancing With The Stars, I can do it all. So that's just me."
"So you're telling me that if you went on Dancing With The Stars, you would win Dancing With The Stars?"
"Abso-...are you kidding me? Have you seen these feet? I'm good at everything...I'm good at everything...everything."
"Well we have some footage of you and your wife Alyssa dancing at the last WWE Charity event, that I'm sure everyone would like to see."
"Oh jeez." Aly laughs.
They both turn to the screen and watch as the dancing that they both did is played.
"And we won that competition by the way." Mike adds when its over.
"Alright, I say that...you know we have a lot of people on that are from Dancing With The Stars. I say we make The Miz audition for Dancing With The Stars right now."
"What? Whoa whoa whoa, George...George. Calm down, calm down! Silence! No, silence..." Mike says to the screaming crowd and motions for them to 'shhh' and they do.
"...I don't have a partner so I can't." Mike says proudly.
People are pointing to Aly and she shakes her head.
"Can't be me, sorry. If I wasn't pregnant, I would."
"What about her? What about that woman right there? She's beautiful, come up here." George says, pointing to a blonde girl who looks a bit scared or something.
"George what're you doing?"
"She's a little timid. Go get her Miz. Go get her."
Mike gets up and he kind of looks around, confused as to what to do. George grabs him and pulls him over and off the platform onto the stage itself where the girl was standing.
"You want me to d-..."
"Yeah...go...introduce yourself. I'll introduce you guys like you're doing something with Dancing With The Stars alright?"
"What's your name? Allison? Hi Allison, I'm Mike. Nice to meet you. Pleasure. Is it okay if we do a little dance? Is it-...she's a little shy."
"I can't blame her." Aly calls from the small couch she's sitting on.
"Okay, but can you dance a little bit?"
"You better be able to move it sweetheart alright? This is the audition tape alright. You better be able to shake it up." Mike says, doing a little dance.
Aly's sitting there on the couch going 'oh god, here comes the dorky dancing.'
"We're doing this."
"What do you want to dance? How about something, Caucasian Swing?"
"Swing?" Mike says surprised.
"You got something? Swing like da-da-da da da-da."
"You okay? You're gonna be fine, you're gonna be fine." Mike says to Allison.
"Dancing the Swing dance, please welcome WWE Superstar The Miz and-...what's your name?"
"Allison."
"Allison okay. Dancing the Swing dance, please welcome The Miz and from our audience, Allison."
The music starts and Mike takes off his suit jacket and tosses it away before doing this dorky pose and then holds his hand out for Allison to take. She takes it and away he goes with the dorky dancing. Then he tells her to jump and when she does, he shifts her from side to side before getting her back on her feet. He tells her to slide through and then he helps her slide through between his legs and he poses again in a dorky way before Allison gets back up and stands next to him. She takes his hand again and he pulls her in, then swings her out, pulls her in again and when he swings her out this time, she goes tumbling to the floor.
"Oh my god." Aly laughs, face palming.
"You okay Allison?" George asks once the music stops.
"I've never been better."
"She's okay! She's okay!"
Aly shakes her head, still laughing. Then Mike makes his way back over, grabbing his jacket before sitting back down next to her.
"You are such a dork." Aly laughs and kisses his cheek.
"And you love me." He grins.
"I do." She agrees amusedly.
"Okay, so one last thing before we end. Everyone wants to hear about the baby."
Mike and Aly both smile at each other. Mike puts a hand on her stimach and she rests her hand on his.
"I'm sure they all want to know if you've found out what you're having. Not just the live audience, but those watching at home as well."
"We have, and we're having a girl."
Everyone in the live audience of course goes 'awwwww' and claps. They laugh a little and smile again.
"We have her name already picked out but we aren't going to tell the public until she's born." Aly adds.
"To everyone besides us and our familes, her name is Jellybean."
"Jellybean?" George asks.
"Jellybean." Mike confirms.
"One of my biggest cravings has been jelly beans so it felt natural to call her that." Aly laughs.
"I've actually felt some movement earlier this week. It wasn't much...just a few flutters." She adds.
"Its amazing isn't it?" George asks.
Mike and Aly nods.
"It really is." Mike agrees.
"She loves her daddy that's for sure." She smiles.
"Mommy too." Mike adds, kissing her cheek.
Everybody goes 'awwww'.
"Well we can't wait until she's born and we can find out her name." George says.
"When are you due?" He asks.
"January. Mid-January really." She replies.
"So still a long time."
"5 more months." She nods.
"How much longer are you gonna be traveling? Because I know with being in WWE, there's a lot of traveling involved."
"Until one of two things happens, the doctors say no more, or I get to 36 weeks."
"I do occasionally stay home if I think the travel is too much for one week." She adds.
"We've been cutting down on flights to make it safer for her. Like a couple weeks ago we had a tour in Australia and New Zealand, she stayed behind for that." Mike continues.
"This week is kind of like the same. We have flight after flight. Tuesday we flew from Virginia to Cleveland, then today we came from Cleveland to here, and tomorrow I have to go to New York for SiriusXM's Fantasy Football event." He adds.
"So I'll be staying home in LA until Sunday or Monday. Thankfully after this upcoming Raw, the next few weeks will be here in California so there'll be less traveling involved." Aly says, shrugging a bit.
"I'll miss her of course, but safety first." Mike nods.
"Of course." George nods.
"Well I'd like to thank the both of you for coming on the show tonight." He adds.
"Thank you for having us."
Then he talks about Summerslam coming up on August 14th, before shaking their hands and talking to them as the show goes to a commercial. They laeve and get in the car to drive back home. She's staring out her open window when she feels Mike squeeze her hand. She turns her head to look at him.
"Tired?" He asks.
"Not really, no." She shakes her head.
"I think I know what we can do." He smiles.
She continues to look out the window as he drives. Then he pulls over and shuts the car off, the smell of salt water reaching her nose.
"The beach?" She asks curiously.
"I was thinking we could take that walk on the beach that I talked to you about earlier today. Since we didn't get to do it at sunset, I was thinking now."
She nods and smiles.
"I'm going to leave my shoes in the car then. Carry me to the sand?" She asks.
"Of course." He smiles, getting out of his side of the car and coming over to her side and opening the door.
She reaches down and takes her shoes off after unbuckling herself. Then she turns and slides towards him. He reaches down and picks her up, closing the car door with his foot, before walking towards the sand. She puts her arms around his neck and snuggles into him. When he reaches the sand, he stops and then carefully places her down.
"Thank you." She kisses the corner of his mouth.
"You're welcome."
He takes off his shoes and everything, rolling up his pant legs so they don't get dirty or wet. They they walk down to the shoreline and start to walk along it. She laces her fingers with his, holding his arm and leaning her head against his shoulder.
"What time are you leaving tomorrow?"
"In the morning." He sighs.
"Early morning right?"
He nods and she sighs.
"Let's just hope the rest of the week goes by fast."
"Yeah."
"But this is a great way to end the night. Good idea."
"Thank you."
They walk a little in silence.
"I'm going to miss you." She says quietly.
"I know."
"Wake me up before you leave. I'll be mad if you don't."
"Don't worry, I'll wake you up before I leave."
"Good."
"I would never leave without waking you up."
"Well good because you'd be in big trouble if you did."
"I know."
She sighs quietly and leans into him even more.
"But I'll definitely call you every day until Sunday, since that's when I'll see you in Indianapolis."
"I know." She nods.
"Love you." He says, turning and kissing the top of her head.
"Love you too." She replies quietly, leaning into his touch.
They walk along the shoreline for a while longer, before deciding to head back to the car to head back home. They both use the little foot washer thing to get the sand off their feet. Mike then puts his shoes and stuff on. Then he turns and picks her up, her arms winding around his neck as he walks to the car. She reaches down and pulls open the car door and he places her on the seat. She gives him a kiss in thanks. He closes the door and goes around to his side and gets in, before putting his seatbelt on and then starting the car and heading off back to the condo. Once at home, the both of them change and slide into bed. She snuggles up to him, sighing contentedly when she hears the soothing sound of his heartbeat.
"Night, love you." He smiles, kissing her forehead.
"Night, love you too." She says softly.
She drifts off to sleep first, followed by him. Back at my place, I have just turned the tv off because the show was over. I reached over and grabbed the dishes on the table and then got up and went out to the kitchen to put everything in the sink. Alex stands in the kitchen doorway, watching and waiting for me. I turn around and see him watching and waiting, eyeing the robe again as well. I laugh to myself as I see the eager look on his face.
"Eager aren't you?" I giggle.
"I think you know the answer to that question."
I laugh and nod, walking over to him. Then once I'm in front of him I decide to mess with him some more, but placing one hand on the back of his neck and pulling him down and kissing him hard. At the same time my other hand travels down to one of his indents and I press my fingers into it. But before he even had a chance to respond, I pull away from his lips and pull my fingers away, slipping past him and walking to the bedroom. There's silence and then I hear rapid footsteps behind me. I laugh as I walk into the bedroom, with him rushing in shortly after. Alex shuts the door and grabs me, turning and pinning me against the door.
"Oooh Mr. Aggressive." I tease.
Alex just pushes his lips against mine in an intense kiss. He had also made sure to hold my hands against the door so that I wouldn't be able to do what I did not too long ago. I squirm against him, whining a little. Then I try to pull my lips away from his to at least get some air, and surprisingly I'm successful. Alex just trails his lips across my jaw, gently biting my earlobe before he begins to kiss down my neck.
"You know we don't...have time for more...than this..." I say, my grip on his hands getting tighter.
"I know." He murmurs against my skin.
"No marks either."
"...fine."
"But you're still in trouble for what you did." He adds, smirking against my skin.
"What? It was fun." I giggle.
"For you..."
"Of course." I laugh.
"But hey, didn't you want this robe off earlier?" I add, making him stop briefly.
"Yes..."
"Well it's still on you know."
"For now." He smirks.
"I figured."
Alex then resumes kissing my neck. I move my head to the side to give him more access, and I bite my lip as he gets closer to the sensitive spot. He brushes his lips back and forth over it several times. A quiet noise escapes me even though I'm biting my lip, and I flex my hands in his grip. Alex smirks and does it more. It gets to be a bit too much to handle and only a quiet moan escapes me. Alex smirks again. He finally leaves the spot and works his way down towards my collarbone. He frees one hand and it slides down to undo the tie on my robe.
"You're gonna have to let the other hand go in order to be able to take it off completely." I grin.
He reluctantly does so. Then once the tie is undone, he starts to help me take the robe off, but I stop him for a second and step away from the door before he finishes and it falls to the floor. Alex looks me over, a smile tugging at his lips.
"Beautiful." He murmurs, reaching for me and pulling me close.
I wrap my arms around him and smile up at him. He leans down and kisses my lips a few times before resting his head against mine.
"It's getting late." I say.
"Right." He agrees, leading me over to the bed.
I climb onto the bed and get under the blankets, and Alex does the same. I cuddle against his side and he kisses my head.
"Night love."
"Night."
