We're in our rooms getting ready for the show, and Aly's just come out of the bathroom after getting her hair and everything else done. She's fixing the clasp on her bracelet as she walks over to her shoes.
"I'll help you with those." Mike offers, walking over himself.
She looks up and smiles. Then she goes over and sits on the bed, Mike following her and helping her put her shoes on.
"Thank you." She kisses him gently.
"You're welcome." He smiles.
He reaches out and puts his hands on her stomach. She lays her hans on top of his.
"Halfway now daddy." She smiles.
"Exciting isn't it?"
"Mmhmm."
"I can't wait."
"Me either."
Then he moves her shirt so he can kiss her stomach. She smiles while watching him.
"I love you." He says, rubbing her stomach.
"We love you too."
He smiles and moves her shirt back down, leaning up and kissing her lips briefly. She cups his face and holds him there. After a while she lets him go, but leaning her forehead against his. She looks into his eyes and smiles, rubbing her nose against his. He smiles back and leans in once more, kissing her quickly.
"Love you." Mike says quietly.
"Love you too babe." She replies.
"All set to go?"
"Yup."
He gets up and grabs his bag, and she grabs her purse before they both head out the door and down to the car.
"You know, you won't have to worry about covering up those marks." Alex calls from outside the bathroom door.
"...why?"
"I'm not having a match tonight on Raw..." He says, opening the bathroom door and poking his head in.
"...you're kidding." I sigh.
"Wish I could say I was."
"That's bullcrap." I growl in frustration.
"I know, but I really can't do anything about it."
"I know but its still not fair."
"And might as well get this out of the way...the live Super Smackdown tomorrow night...not on that either..."
"That is just not fair!"
"Hey, Mike's not even on the card for Smackdown either."
"But he has a match tonight. You don't."
"Well I do, it's a dark match before the Superstars match taping against Drew nonetheless, but I know what you're saying."
"You deserve TV time." I sigh, opening the door wider and sliding my arms around him.
"...I know..."
I sigh again, laying my head on his chest.
"But hey look on the brightside...more alone time for us and we get to leave earlier than normal."
"True..."
"But still if you're feuding with Dolph and going after that title, you need TV time."
"I know."
"I see how it is...everyone else is more important than you."
"Love, I can't control what Creative does."
"I know that, but ever since you stopped the feud with Mike...it's just been...I don't know..." I say, letting him go and walking out of the bathroom.
"I know but at least I'm still in the WWE instead of FCW."
"I know Alex, I know."
Alex glances at the clock.
"We should go, we don't want Mike to be late."
I nod, grabbing my things and he does the same, before we leave and head down to the car ourselves. Once we get in the car, we drive off to the arena. The ride was awfully quiet, even the walk inside. We follow the guys down to the locker room so that Mike can drop his things off and Alex can get changed so he can have his dark match.
"You okay?" Aly nudges me gently.
"Just a little pissed off." I say quietly.
"About what?"
"Well first of all, Alex isn't going to be on tv tonight. He's in a dark match before the Superstars taping. Then he's not even scheduled to be on the live Super Smackdown tomorrow night at all. No dark match...nothing."
"That's ridiculous."
"Mike's not even scheduled for tomorrow either."
"Now that I knew but I didn't know Alex wasn't."
"Yeah, so I'm really not in the best of moods right now...and this time it's not a moodswing."
Aly hugs me.
"It's like ever since the feud with Mike ended, things have changed for him...and I'm not talking in the good way." I mumble as I hug back.
"It's like they don't care anymore." I add.
"I know, I know. Hopefully things will get better soon."
I continue to hug you, just staring off into space, not paying attention to the door of the locker room opening. The boys come out and see us hugging. Alex sighs.
"I hate when she's like this."
"I know, me too." Mike agrees.
"You just go out there for your match, we'll take care of her and make sure she's okay." Mike adds.
"...alright. Thanks man."
He nods and they do the man hug thing, before Alex takes one more look at me and then walks off to the curtain for the match. Aly and I both feel Mike drape his arms around us.
"It'll get better sometimes Carls." He says.
"...it better..." I mumble since I was snapped out of my daze.
"Just try and relax. It isn't good for you to be so worked up." Aly adds.
"I know..." I sigh.
"Come on, let's go to the room and sit."
I nod and we pull away from the hug, heading to the room. We get in the room and I sprawl out on one couch while Mike and Aly cuddle up on the other. Since it's gonna be a while, I decide to just rest my eyes, but being fully aware of what's going on around me. Aly lays back and lets Mike rub her stomach. Alex comes back after a while, having won his match and now we just have to wait for the show to start.
"Watch, we'll have to listen to Chatty again."
"When don't we have to listen to him?"
"Good point."
"Every Monday Night has been centered around him, and I'm sick of it."
"Me too."
After the usual introduction, Hunter came out like he has been doing lately. He goes down the ramp and gets into the ring, being handed a mic and his music fades.
"So it's my job now to make sure that we give you the absolute best that the WWE has to offer at all times. It's my job to make sure this company flourishes and it survives, and it thrives. So with that said, starting tonight and for the forseeable future...you are not only gonna get the superstars of Raw every Monday Night. You are also gonna get the superstars of Smackdown joining forces with them..."
"...joy." I say sarcastically.
"Great..."
"You know I wouldn't doubt that that's the reason why you didn't get on tv this week." I say to Alex.
Alex shrugs.
"Hmph." I cross my arms and lean back into the couch more.
He sighs and pulls me onto his lap, rubbing my back soothingly.
"...to create Raw's Supershow! Now see that announcement...something like that, that is the cool part of being C.O.O. It also comes with some not so cool parts. Like people lying to you, like people disrespecting you. People saying, well you know you sent me a text, you didn't send me a text, you told me to jump this guy, you didn't tell me to jump this guy, oh my god I was in a car crash, I wasn't in a car crash. You see it all comes down to lying and unfortunately for me most of those lies are coming from one of my best friends Kevin Nash. Apparently Kev is a little upset that I in his words...wouldn't allow him to be a man with CM Punk. Well Kev, you wanna be a man? Be a man right now, come to this ring, look me in the eye and tell me why you lied to me."
Of course instead of Kevin Nash coming out, it has to be Punk. He walks around on the stage like the whole thing is funny, before walking down the ramp and getting into the ring, getting a mic himself. He places the mic down and proceeds to clap and applaud Hunter for his speech he just did about Nash.
"Wow what a performance! What a...man I know you've been in some movies but that...that was oscar caliber. That was Pacino in heat level thesbian. That was beautful, great performance Triple H."
"What do you want?"
"What do I want? Well for starters this isn't one of your movies, how about you stop acting. Huh? You don't want Kevin Nash to lie, I want you to stop lying. Man up, tell the truth for once. That you, Big Daddy Cool have been in this together from the beginning."
"Why don't you man up and stop being whiny?"
Then music plays and Nash walks out and down to the ring, getting in and grabbing a mic for himself.
"First off, yeah...yeah I lied. I had my driver call Laurinitis and tell him that I got in a wreck. But you know why? 'Cause you wouldn't let me take care of things. So I had to take our friendship and use it against you, because I knew it would pull you out of the building. And the problem is..is him! You wouldn't let me finish what I was supposed to do, so I had to get rid of you."
"Now we know why he showed back up on Raw."
"Yeah, you've been trying to make a fool out of me in front of millions for the last couple weeks. And it's done, it's over! But you know what? The thing is, it's just not me. It's you he's insulting and more importantly it's your wife!"
"That is true...not cool though."
"Yeah, that isn't right."
"So I got a question for you. I might not have exactly acted the way you wanted me to, but my question is, what kind of man are you?"
"What kind of man am I huh? The kind of man that doesn't expect to be lied to by his best friend. The kind of guy that expects if his friend tells him something, he can take it for the truth. It doesn't work anymore does it Kev, because I can't trust you...not when it comes to business. You lied to my face. So Kev, now I'm gonna ask you one more time like I did before. Leave...leave. And this time, don't come back."
"I don't think it's that easy...something just doesn't feel right."
"He won't just let it go." Aly shakes her head.
"First off, you're right I lied, but only about the accident..not about the text. The second thing is, while you were out of the building last week, well...John Laurinitis...executive vice president of talent personel...signed me to a...in this economy very lucrative WWE contract."
"So...buddy old pal, if you're gonna fire me, you're gonna have to do it in front of all these people and the millions at home, and on top of that it's guaranteed so that I'll sit home and get paid. So...the ball's kind of in your court."
"Kev, I'm not gonna fire you alright? No no no, but the lying stops now you understand me? No more. No more dis-" Hunter is then cut off by CM Punk faking that he's sick and throwing up.
"Rude much?"
"I know right? And he's keeping it going...that's really unnecessary."
"Completely unnecessary."
"Get it? Get it, I'm acting. I'm acting like I'm sick. Just like you two are acting. You expect anybody let alone me to believe this crap?" Then he acts sick again.
"Okay enough already."
"Triple H you can't be the bad guy, you can't get your hands dirty, so you have YOU do his work right? And then you not only apologize to him, you not only accept his apology, you hire him back? That's a good acquisition, fantastic job. Hey everybody the Clique's back. Yeah! Woo hoo! Which is kind of ironic because click is the noise the audience's remote control makes everytime Kevin Nash pops up on their tv screen. And wait I'm not done. It's the noise your knees make when you walk...click click click click click click."
"Well you know what? Since I'm now officially under a WWE contract, why don't you do me a favor Hunter. Why don't you book the match everybody wants to see. Why don't you book the match he thinks he wants! Kevin Nash vs CM Punk..."
"Yeah brother why don't you make that match. You know what, why don't we do it at Night of Champions, you being a champion ass kisser and all. So why don't you go ahead, why don't you make that match. Of course...of course first you have to check with the board of directors to make sure it's okay. And by board of directors I mean your wife."
Nash storms up and goes to hit Punk, but hunter holds him back.
"So come on Mr. C.O.O, make the match that HE thinks he wants. I mean your wife's the one who runs the show around here anyway right? So why don't you ask her if it's okay. I mean she's the one who told you to text Nash at SummerSlam right? Let's face it, you don't wear the pants in the family, but you do wear her panties don't you?"
"Ohhhh he did not just go there."
"Oh but he did and I think he's in for it now."
Everyone is heard going 'Ohhhhhhh', and Punk stands there behind Hunter with an amused grin on his face.
"Pipe bomb."
Hunter turns around and Punks facial expression changes and they stare each other down for a minute.
"You want the match, fine it's official. Nash vs CM Punk, Night of Champions. As far as the two of you go, I got two words for both of you." Hunter says, lifting the mic in the air and everyone goes 'suck it'.
He drops the mic and gets out of the ring, leaving Punk and Nash in the ring staring each other down. Then Randy's music hits and he walks out, interrupting their staredown. We see that he's taking on Dolph in a match tonight, and we know why he's out there now.
"Hi Randyyy."
Aly laughs.
"He better kick Ziggles' butt."
"Yeah, for sure."
"I'm feeling better now."
"Good."
"Just the thought of Ziggles getting beat up by Randy is amusing."
"I know right?"
After the commercial, Randy was in the ring doing the usual thing until his music faded and Dolph and Vickie walked out once his music hit.
"She actually looks nice for once. Gasp."
"Gasp."
"I like the dress too."
"Yeah me too. It's pretty."
Once Dolph was in the ring, they replayed what happened during Alex's match last week against Lispy, with Dolph causing him to lose. I lean up and kiss Alex briefly.
"That was a great night."
"Yeah." He smiles.
The match starts and Dolph takes control for a bit before Randy took over. Dolph goes for an early cover and only gets two, Vickie complaining about that of course. Dolph gets outside the ropes after Randy took control of the match and he sets him up for the move he does off the ropes. Vickie climbs up and distracts Randy in time for Dolph to throw Randy up and over the top rope, landing out on the floor.
"Always has to get involved."
"Yup."
Dolph then delivers a Zig Zag outside the ring, hurting himself in the process. The ref starts counting and is at 5 when Dolph gets back in the ring. Randy gets in the ring at 9, just in time but Dolph goes right after him before a commercial break. After the break, Randy was outside the ring and leaning on the steel steps, Dolph slamming his face into them. Swagger is seen backstage looking on as Dolph gets another nearfall. Dolph takes control of the match for a bit before Randy takes over while Dolph is sitting on the ring post. Randy grabs him and superplexes him off the top rope. He goes for the pin but gets a two count.
"I think he's starting to hear those voices now." I laugh.
"Yeah I think so too."
Randy gets a nearfall again before Dolph takes control of the match again. Vickie freaks when Dolph gets a nearfall. There's a rollup by Randy and Dolph kicks out and then a failed dropkick by him before Randy takes over the match. Randy gets the evil grin on his face and backs up into the corner.
"Doooo itttt!"
He goes to punt him in the head, but Dolph gets up and stops him.
"Damn."
"Darn."
Another nearfall by Dolph and he's crawling around in the ring. Dolph fails the Zig Zag and Randy delivers the hanging DDT off the ropes, and this is when he hears the voices. He attempts the RKO but Dolph gets him in the sleeper. Randy gets out of it and Dolph runs at him and he lifts him up and drops him. As soon he gets up, he RKOs him and pins him to win the match.
"Bahahaha!"
"Yayyyy."
Swagger is seen backstage with a smile on his face as he looks on at the screen. Randy does the usual thing he does when he wins the match and everything. Then they do a replay of what happened. Dolph is out of the ring and stumbling away.
"Hah, he can barely walk he's so dazed."
"Haha."
Then they show what happened last week between John and Del Rio, but they didn't forget about us. They also showed us coming out in his car and spray painting it.
"Ahaha that was fun." Aly grins.
"His face was priceless."
"Yes it was."
After that John is shown backstage and the camera pans out to reveal Josh.
"John what's your reaction to Alberto Del Rio's savage attack from last week?"
He just smiles a bit, before pushing the mic away from him and walking off.
"Well it appears that John Cena is on his way to the ring to address the situation next."
"Oh boy."
"Mmhmm."
After the commercial of course John came out. He did the usual before grabbing a mic.
"Ladies and gentlemen good evening, how is everybody tonight? Mixed emotions as usual, I love it. I myself am a little bit uneasy, because Alberto Del Rio's actions have been speaking louder than his words. Alberto Del Rio's words were that he would be a champion with honor, class, dignity. Alberto Del Rio's actions have shown that he has no class, he is a coward champion, and he has somehow mastered the ancient art of..." He says, but the last word is bleeped out.
"Nice Sully, nice."
"That's just fine, every action have a reaction and a repercussion. So my reaction to what Alberto Del Rio did to me last week, is to simply kick his teeth so far down his throat that his mouth becomes his anus."
Aly and I both snicker.
"What do you say Senor...you want some, come get some."
Instead of Del Rio though, it's Mark Henry.
"Oh no."
"Oh great."
"Get out of the ring John...he's worse than the Whacko."
After the footage of what happened to Sheamus last Friday on Smackdown, Mark is getting into the ring and his music fades as he goes to talk.
"John Cena you're talking about get some? Well I came down here to get me some."
"...get out of the ring...come on..."
"I don't know if you've noticed over the last few months, but I've dismantled Kane, I've dismantled the Big Show and many others. Last week I gave the world's strongest slam to Sheamus right there on those steel steps. And you too John...are gonna join...the Hall of Pain. Now regardless of who wins the cage match tomorrow, they too are gonna join my list. And at Night of Champions, Mark Henry the world's strongest man, is gonna be the new World champion."
Then Christian's music hits and he walks out.
"Oh great, it's Mr. Whiny Bitch."
"Yeah right."
"Let me just put your mind at ease Mark. After I beat and embarrass Randy Orton tomorrow night, you'll be facing me at Night of Champions. But let's...let's just deal with that at another time alright? As for you Cena, you make me sick to my stomach."
"Yeah and you make me sick to mine." I remark.
"Agreed."
"If there's one thing that I can't stand more than anything else, is somebody who comes out here week after week, day after day and whines and bitches, and complains. And then whines a little bit more until they get what they want."
"You just described yourself dumbass."
"It's an embarassment and you are embarrassing yourself."
"No, you're embarrassing yourself by going out there."
"Pump the brakes for a second. I don't come out here and whine every week, that's not whining. This is whining. Why does Christian keep coming out douched in so much orange fake tan? Doesn't he know it's HDTV?"
"Ahahaha."
"And why does Mark Henry's breath smell like funnel cakes stuffed with dog crap?"
"Ahahahah go Sully." Aly laughs.
"Listen, I'll make it simple for the both of you. You want some, get some. If not get gone." He says and he and Mark drop their mics.
"Are you just gonna stand here and take that Mark? Huh? Are you gonna take...we shouldn't take that. There's two of us and one of you Cena. And maybe you need to learn the meaning of the word repercussions huh?" Christian adds and puts his mic down, and not too soon after that, Sheamus comes running down to the ring.
He stands beside John, ready to fight himself. John is just confused as to why Sheamus would stand by him.
"He looks confused."
"Yeah."
The first one to back out of the fight is Christian, and now it's two on one now before Mark gets out of the ring.
"Wimps!"
"That's not cowardly at all." Aly says sarcastically.
Then backstage Laurinitis makes a match between John and Sheamus against Mark and Christian. But Hunter shows up and says he already made that match, and that he works for him. The next match that's coming up next that we see, is Mike against Punk.
"You against Punk? Great..." Aly sighs.
"Unfortunately. I have to get ready now. Up to you if you wanna be out there with me or not."
"I'm coming."
"I'll just have some fun on commentary." She adds.
"Alright." Mike agrees.
"Have fun." I say, as they both get up.
"We will."
She and Mike head out the door and lace their fingers together while they walk down the hall to the locker room. She waits for him as he gets changed. After a while the door opens and he walks out.
"New shirt huh?" She grins.
"Yep." He nods.
She looks at the front and back, laughing afterwards.
"I like it."
"Why thank you."
"You're welcome." She giggles, kissing him briefly.
Then they lace their fingers once again and head towards the curtain. They wait for his music in the curtained area. She's let og of his hand and started to rub her stomach lightly.
"How's she doing in there?" He asks with a smile.
"She's good daddy. Moving around a little."
"Awww."
She smiles.
"I have to feel before we go out there." He says, placing a hand on her stomach.
She laughs and moves his hand to the right spot.
"I'll always love this."
"I know. Just wait, in a couple weeks you'll be able to actually see her moving."
"That'll be amazing."
"Mmhmm." She smiles.
Soon the commercial break was over and Punk's music was playing as he was standing in the ring and waiting. Mike reluctantly takes his hand off her stomach as his music hits. They lace fingers and a mic is handed to him, before they walk out.
"I have never heard anything like the garbage spewed out of your mouth tonight Punk. I mean you're worse than Cena. Talking about making people sick..." Mike says, imitating him from earlier.
"Really? Really? Really? Really. Really? What you need to realize is I was fearlessly speaking my mind before you were dropping pipe bombs. And you claim that you're the best in the world, the best wrestler in the world? Well you are looking at the most must-see WWE Champion of all time. And if last week wasn't an example of what I'm gonna do to people if I don't get some attention around here, then tonight will be." Mike says as they walk down the ramp, and she walks over to commentary while Mike gets in the ring after getting a kiss from him.
He stops on the steel steps though before getting into the ring.
"Because I'm the Miz...and I'm...aweeeesooooome."
Then he gets in the ring and he and Punk jump around circling each other after Mike strips his shirt off and makes sure to toss it to Aly once he was on the commentary side of the ring. She laughs and lays it across her lap. They lock up and Punk gets him in a headlock until Mike pushes him against the ropes, only for Punk to come back and shoulder block him. Mike gets up, holding the back of his head as he looks over at Punk, who mocks Mike by using a hand to look like fauxhawk and saying 'awesome' with an amused smile on his face. Mike just nods with a small grin of his own and they circle again and lock up. Punk pushes Mike into the corner, but Mike reverses and puts Punk in the corner. Once he lets go of Punk since he has to, he hits him in the head and backs up as he talks to the ref. That gives Punk the chance to recover and when Mike walks forward, Punk kicks him in the gut. That's followed by an elbow to the back/shoulder, and more of the ropes before Punk knocks him down and then kicks him in the back. He picks him up and gets him the position for a supplex and delivers it, Mike screaming out in pain.
"So I'm sure we all wanna know, how's the baby?" Cole asks.
Aly cringes slightly at Mike screaming and then glances at Cole.
"She's doing just fine."
"That's good. Any movement yet?"
"Yeah, she's been moving for a few weeks. She's moving right now actually." She replies, running her hands over her belly.
"For two reasons. One being that it's too loud out here for her, or because she knows her daddy's nearby." She adds.
"She likes to move when he's around." She continues, a small smile on her face.
"Awwww."
He goes for the pin again, but Punk kicks out. Then Mike starts jumping and bouncing around before he punches him. He bounces/jumps around and punches him again, only to be kicked in the side of the leg by Punk a few times. But Mike retaliates and kicks Punks legs out from under him and grabs his neck, delivering a low DDT. He pulls him away from the ropes and goes for the pin, but Punk kicks out again. He grabs him and gets him in a chinlock and Punk struggles to get free. Punk gets out of it and hits Mike with a couple headbutts, making him stumble away. Punk attempts to get Mike again, but he catches him and delivers that backbreaker/neckbreaker combo.
"I think she's happy that he's winning so far." She laughs.
They laugh. He goes for the pin again, but Punk kicks out. Punk's in the corner and Mike backs up, getting ready for one of his signature moves. He runs and connects, Punk dropping to the apron. Mike gets out of the ring and climbs to the top rope, waiting for the perfect moment. He sees it and he jumps, nailing Punk with an Ax Handle. He goes for the pin, but Punk kicks out. Mike gets outside the ropes and goes to the top again attempting a second Ax Handle. He jumps and Punk gets up and nails him with a punch in the gut.
"Should never go for that a second time..."
Aly sighs and shakes her head.
Punk keeps at Mike, bouncing him off the ropes. Mike comes back and kicks Punk in the shoulder, before going back against the ropes and kicking him in the face for the 2nd time tonight. Mike goes for the pin, but Punk kicks out still. Mike walks over and gets him in a chin lock again, applying as much pressure as he can. Punk begins to get out of the hold and he gets Mike on his shoulders for the GTS. Mike gets out of it and grabs Punk's neck like for a neckbreaker but then drops him backwards on his head.
"Thank god he got out of that."
She adds in some remarks to Jerry and JR's comments while answering more of Cole's questions about Savannah. As Mike was composing himself in the ring and Punk was out on the floor, we went to a commercial. During the commercial break Mike had thrown Punk into the steel ring post. After coming back from the commercial, Mike was in the ring with Punk in another chinlock which Punk had got out of it and dropped Mike back, on the back of his head too nonetheless. Aly cringes, her mind recalling his concussion at Wrestlemania. Mike gets up holding the back of his head, and Punk gets up too and kicks the side of Mike's leg again. He kicks the other one, and goes back to the other one before going against the ropes again. Punk jumps and knocks Mike down after he comes back from the ropes. Mike's in the corner and Punk runs and knees him in the chin before dropping him face first onto the apron. He rolls outside the ropes and climbs to the top rope, jumping off that and knocking Mike down again while saying 'I can fly'.
Punk gets him in the position for the GTS, but Mike thankfully gets out of it again. Mike gets Punk in position for the Skull Crushing Finale, but Punk gets out of that as well. Punk then delivers a brutal backbreaker, going for the pin and Mike kicks out. Punk goes to the corner again and climbs to the top. Mike stops him for the 2nd time tonight and climbs himself. He goes to lift Punk but he blocks it and then hits Mike so he falls off the corner. Punk then stands up and jumps, landing on Mike, getting ready for the GTS. But at the last second, R-Truth comes running down to the ring and saves him. Truth and Mike gang up on Punk, throwing him out of the ring before getting out of it themselves. Mike misses his punch and Truth gets hit, but then Punk gets Mike and throws him into the barricade. But Truth gets Punk back in the ring and Truth suffers the GTS. Then Kevin Nash walks down to the ring, distracting Punk for just enough time so Mike could get him from behind. Truth and Mike back away as Nash goes over to Punk and delivers the Jack Knife Powerbomb. Mike and Truth slide out of the ring, and Mike walks around to get Aly. She goes straight to him.
"Are you okay?" She asks him.
"I'll be fine...nothing ice can't fix."
"Alright, let's go get some ice and get you changed."
He nods and she lets him lean on her as they make their way up the ramp and backstage. They first stop and get Mike changed before going to the trainer's to get an ice bag. He first puts it on the back of his head since that's where it was hurting the most for now as they head back to the room. She looks at him in concern.
"Are you sure your head is alright?"
"Yeah, it just hurts a bit...the ice should help it."
She frowns.
"As long as you're sure."
"Because if it's not alright, you're gonna have to rest when we get back to the hotel." She adds.
"I know."
"Now are you 100 percent sure you're okay?"
Mike stops walking and makes her look him in the eyes.
"Lys, I'm fine. I know you're worried but I'm alright."
"Okay, I'm just making sure."
"I know." He says, kissing her head.
"On the brightside, Savvy wouldn't stop moving during the whole match." She smiles.
"Really?"
"Yeah. She was moving like crazy."
"Either because of you or because of the noise."
"Ah, right."
"But she was moving around like crazy."
"Is she still moving?" He asks hopefully.
"Sorry but no, she calmed down."
"Awww."
"Maybe she'll move later. You know she usually moves after I eat."
"Yeah, that's true."
She smiles and kisses his lips lightly.
"You'll have plenty of chances to feel her move."
"I know."
"Now let's go relax a bit."
"Right."
They start walking again. When they get to the room, they do the usual and knock waiting for a response. When they hear a response, they walk in. Mike and Aly sit on the couch and she starts to gives Mike a massage as she always does.
"Don't worry, we can go as soon as I'm done with Mike." She says.
"Alright." I reply.
"Don't rush or anything, I'm pretty comfortable over here anyway." I add.
"Alright." She laughs.
She continues for a while longer until she things that she's done. We all grab our things and head out to the car, heading back to the hotel. We get there and go up to our rooms.
"So what do you wanna do now? You know since it's still pretty early." Alex asks.
"Hmm...why don't we go out and do something?"
"Sure, what'd you have in mind?"
"I was thinking maybe a night on the beach or something. And since it won't be crowded, we'll be there all by ourselves."
"That sounds great." He smiles.
"It's gonna be a beach on a lake because we're nowhere near any oceans."
"Right. But still a beach is a beach."
"I know, I was just saying."
"I know."
"Just want to grab a jacket and stuff before we go. We can walk too since there's a lake not too far from here."
"Alright."
"Have to grab this jacket since you love it when I wear it." I grin, grabbing the jacket that looks like his varsity jacket he used to wear when he was his heel character.
"Yes I love that jacket on you." Alex chuckles.
"I know you missed it, because I haven't worn it in a while."
Alex nods in agreement.
"Yeah."
"Well let's go now."
He agrees and we both make sure we have what we need before heading out. In the meantime in the room with Aly and Mike, he drops his back after walking in and sits on the bed for a bit.
"Feeling okay?" She asks.
"Yeah, I'm feeling fine."
"Just checking." She leans over and kisses his cheek as she stands by his legs.
"Are you feeling up to going out tonight?" She asks.
"Yeah, I'll be alright. Did you have something in mind?"
"Hmm, maybe getting something to eat or something first."
She rubs her stomach.
"We're hungry." She giggles.
"Sounds like a good idea."
"I'm just gonna grab a hoodie or a jacket in case I get cold."
"Alright." He nods.
She rummages through her things for the right hoodie/jacket and pulls it out. Once she grabs that, she makes sure she grabs whatever else she thinks she may need. They link hands and go find somewhere to eat. They're lead to a table and they sit, being handed the menues to look through. They get their orders taken and quietly talk while they wait.
"Maybe after this we can go to the park I saw nearby."
"That sounds fun."
"Yeah, we can just walk around and stuff."
"Sounds good." She agrees, kissing his jaw.
"I know you like walking around in parks."
"I do. Especially with you."
He smiles and kisses her head.
"Love you." She smiles up at him.
"Love you too."
Soon after that, their food arrives and they start to eat. After they both finish eating, Mike pays and they get up and leave, heading for the nearby park. She laces her fingers with his and lays her head against his shoulder. They get to the park and start walking around. They wander quietly, pointing out different things to each other.
"Oh if you look up, you can see all the stars."
She looks up.
"Oh wow. So pretty..."
"Not as pretty as you."
She blushes, hiding against his arm.
"You're cute when you blush and hide like that."
She blushes harder and he feels her face getting warmer against his arm.
"I can feel that." He chuckles.
"...haha..." She mumbles.
He just grins as they continue to walk along. She finally stops blushing and then lets go of his hand and slides her arm around his waist, her hand resting in his back pocket.
"I like this, it's all quiet and everything."
"Yeah. It's nice." Mike agrees, his arm going around her shoulders.
"How about we go sit over on that bench?"
"Okay."
They walk over to the bench and sit down, her arm still around his waist and his arm still around her shoulders. She puts her legs over his knees and snuggles into him.
"You know, maybe now I'm all calm and everything, Savvy will start moving again."
"That'd be great." Mike grins.
"I always love when she does." He adds.
"I know you do." She smiles and kisses his cheek.
"And I think she knows that too."
"Maybe." She giggles.
"She likes to show you how much she loves you." She adds.
Mike smiles broadly and rubs her stomach with his other hand.
"I love her too. So much."
"We both know that."
"I can't wait until we get to hold her and see her in person." He says.
"I know daddy. I'm excited too." She smiles.
"But we're halfway now." He smiles, kissing her head.
"Exactly. 20 down, 20 to go."
"So close yet so far away at the same time."
"I know."
"Can't wait to see you." He says, leaning down to her stomach.
She giggles and watches him.
"Everyone can't wait to see you."
He keeps talking to Savannah while she uses her free hand to rub her belly. Between the both of them, this causes her to start moving again.
"There she is." Aly says, smiling.
"Her way of telling me that she can hear me." He chuckles.
"So you hope. Its probably more to do with me just eating a bit ago."
"Oh yeah that's right."
"Mmhmm."
"She's happy with what I ate." She adds.
"I bet she is." He chuckles.
"She's pretty much happy with everything you eat."
"Good point. I kind of miss being able to drink orange juice though."
"And I miss eating cookie dough." She pouts.
"I know, in 20 weeks you'll be able to eat and drink that again."
"I know..." She sighs, still pouting slightly.
"You can blame it on Savvy."
"Oh well. I made it this far without it, I think I can go further."
"True."
"She's definitely going to be an active baby." She remarks, looking at her belly.
"That's a good thing though."
"I suppose. It won't be so fun when I get bigger."
"It'll hurt some won't it?"
"Yeah."
"I'll be there for you, when that happens."
"I know."
"She'll just be kicking me everywhere, that's all."
"Right."
"So when that happens, don't be surprised if I start saying 'ow' a lot."
"Okay." He chuckles lightly.
"And once she stops moving, we can start heading back."
"Alright." She agrees.
"Though she might move for a bit so we could start walking actually. I can walk while she moves you know." She laughs a little.
"Okay, let's start walking then."
She nods and they get up, heading back to the entrance of the park. They take their time with walking to the entrance to the park, and by the time they had gotten back tot he car, Savannah had stopped.
"Now she stopped."
"Right when we get back to the car." He chuckles.
"Yup." She laughs.
"She knows."
"I think so." She giggles as they buckle themselves in.
"So, did you enjoy tonight?"
"Yes I did." She smiles and leans over to brush her lips against his.
"I'm glad."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
He starts the car and drives back to the hotel. With me and Alex, we're now sitting on the sand of the beach by the lake. I'm sitting between Alex's legs with my back to his chest. He has his arms wrapped around me with his hands laying on my stomach. I smile as I feel him start to rub my stomach. He kisses my head before resting his on mine, so that mine is tucked under his chin.
"I can't wait until you start to get a bump like Windy's." Alex says quietly.
"Shouldn't be too long from now."
"I'm excited."
"Of course you are."
"I just can't wait to see Baby Love growing in there."
"Next month we'll get see Gummy Bear again."
"Yeah." He smiles.
"More pictures..."
"I love those pictures."
"And speaking of getting a bump...the other night I thought I was starting to get one...but I was feeling bloated so I was all like 'darn'."
"Awww."
"I know you're anxious for me to get it."
"Yes I am."
"The reason why I said it shouldn't be long is because jeans are starting to feel a tad tighter around the waist."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I mean it's not to a point where it's uncomfortable...yet."
"I'm sure that'll be soon."
"And then I'll have to wear different jeans."
"Right."
"But you'll have a bit of a bump then, and I'll be even happier." He adds.
"I know you will." I smile.
"But unfortunately I can't make the process go any faster." I laugh.
"Darn." Alex jokes.
"Love you." I smile, turning my head and leaning up to kiss him briefly.
"I love you too. Both of you." He replies once I pull back.
"Gummy Bear loves you too."
Alex kisses my head before I turn it back to where it was, settling back down in his arms. After sitting there for a while and looking out at the lake, I feel myself starting to get tired. My first instinct was to turn my head and bury my face in Alex's shoulder/neck. He feels my breathing slowing down and he chuckles.
"Alright, I think it's time for us to head back now."
"...carry me..." I mumble.
"I was planning on it." He says, maneivering me so he can pick me up as he stands.
"One step ahead of me..."
"Of course."
Then he makes his way off the sand and on solid ground, heading back to the hotel. Alex carries me all the way to the hotel and into the elevator. When we do get up to our floor, Alex sees Aly Mike already at their room door, getting ready to head in.
"Hey guys." He greets them.
"Oh hey DC."
Then Aly goes to greet me, but sees that I'm fast asleep.
"Someone's tired."
"Yeah she fell asleep when I was carrying her from the beach."
"Awwww."
"Well we'll let you get her in bed. See you in the morning."
"Alright, night guys."
"Night." They both say.
Then we all head into our rooms for the night.
