It's the middle of the day and we stuck around because of Smackdown tonight. We're all just hanging around in our rooms after being out all morning. I'm multi-tasking by reading stuff online and just sketching an idea that I had in my head. Alex reclined next to me, his hand rubbing my stomach.
"How you're able to multi-task like that, I have no idea."
"I'm talented." I laugh.
"You are. By the way, what're you drawing?"
"Nothing."
"Looks like something..."
"You'll find out...another time."
"Aww. Okay."
"It's a surprise. I'm having something made once this drawing is done."
"Oh."
"You'll love it, trust me."
"I trust you."
"And we're just a few days away from possibly celebrating." He adds.
"Right." I laugh.
"I'm surprised you were able to control yourself all this week." I add.
"It hasn't been easy."
"Oh I'm sure." I snicker.
"You don't help matters either."
"Oh I know." I smirk.
"But it's fun." I add.
"For you, yes."
"Exactly."
"But you love me anyway."
"Of course I do."
"Baby Love is proof."
"Mmhmm, sure is." I nod.
"I can't wait until we get to feel movement."
"I know, me neither." I smile.
"And then we'll get to find out what we're having..."
"That too. I know you're excited about that."
"Yes I am." He smiles.
"Here's a question...what do you hope we're having?"
"Honestly I would be happy either way."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Awww, well you know I think we should start thinking about names."
"True. Do you have any ideas?"
"Well we already got the possible name if it's a boy...'cause of Zack. You said we'll see about that one. Um...frankly I haven't done that much thinking about names."
"You want to take a look now?"
"Sure we can do that."
I pull up a baby name site on my computer. The first list of names we look at are the names for girls. It isn't long before Alex spots one he likes.
"I like that one." He says, pointing to the name 'Aaliyah'.
"Aaliyah...I love it." I say, after taking time to think.
Alex smiles at me and kisses my cheek.
"Now to find a middle name..." I say, scrolling through the list.
The two of us find a few and mull them over. After mulling them over we decide on a middle name...Jasmine.
"Yay, we just decided on our first name."
Alex kisses me and smiles.
"Now for boys."
"Yup."
The two of us start looking through the boy names. Like before we find some and mull them over, before deciding on one.
"Now we're set." Alex smiles.
"Uh huh, one less thing to worry about."
"Yeah."
"Next thing to worry about are the nurseries once we find out and we have to find a place in Vegas too."
"Right. I asked Mike and got the number of their agent and asked her to send us some places to look over." Alex nods.
"One step ahead of me I see."
"Yup."
"Always." He adds.
I smile and kiss him.
"Oh you know what I read? Coming out of my first trimester and going into the second, I'm not gonna be as tired as I was anymore."
"Good. Windy said it would pass."
"Other things will be happening too."
"Yeah?"
"Let's just say that from what Aly said to me, I'm gonna wanna jump you like all the time."
Alex's eyes widen and he swallows heavily.
"You just got awfully quiet..."
"I just gave you thoughts didn't I." I smirk.
He just nods slowly.
"Oops, my bad."
"Minx."
"You love it."
"And plus it's true."
I kiss Alex and then put my head against his shoulder.
"Anything else I should know?"
"Well at 17 weeks you can start talking to Gummy Bear, because that's when babies ears develop to the point where they can hear sounds."
"Awesome."
"I know you're just waiting to do that."
"Of course."
"And parts of me are going to be more sensitive."
"Oh."
"It's not gonna be anything bad though."
"Okay."
"Also I should've noticed this from 6-9 weeks, but throughout the rest of the pregnancy well...let's just say the 'girls' are um...gonna be getting a bit bigger. Just like a size or two."
He raises an eyebrow.
"Don't ask me how it happens, it just does."
"Alright."
"And I think that's basically all you need to know for now."
"Okay. Good to know."
"It's a good thing I got that last one out, honestly I was a little embarrassed to tell you."
"You don't have to be embarassed to tell me anything." Alex kisses my head.
"I know but I still was a little."
"Its alright."
"I'm sure you would've noticed soon anyway." I snicker.
"True." Alex laughs.
Then as I start to put my computer and everything away, he starts up the small distraction of tracing patterns lightly on the skin of my shoulder. I get goosebumps but don't move away. But I do get that tickling sensation as he continues, so I squirm a little bit.
"Quit."
"Why?"
"Because that's starting to tickle."
He presses a little harder so that it doesn't tickle but is still teasing.
"You are so easily distracted." I shake my head amusedly.
"You love me anyway."
"Yes I do, and Gummy Bear is proof." I smile, leaning up and kissing him.
He nods and smiles when I pull away, his hands lightly running over my stomach. Then I move and snuggle into his side, an arm draped over him and my head resting on his chest. In the room with Aly and Mike, she's watching him have fun with talking to Savannah and smiling as he acts all cute. As usual she lets her fingers run through his hair soothingly, her other hand resting on her stomach.
"I think someone hears you daddy."
Mike grins, kissing her belly as he feels her moving.
"Did I wake someone up?" He says to her.
"Maybe so." She giggles a bit.
"Awww, I'm sorry."
"Though we ate not long ago so that might be why she's moving."
"That too. She's thanking you for feeding her." He chuckles.
"Sure." She laughs.
"That's what is is huh?" He says back to her.
"She's getting a bit stronger." She remarks.
"So we should be able to see her movements soon?"
"Yeah. In 2 weeks or so."
"I'm so excited."
"I can tell." She smiles.
"But when that happens, with your face so close to my belly when you're talking to her, you have to be careful because she'll get you."
"And I'm gonna laugh when she does." She snickers.
"Of course you will."
"It'll be funny."
"Because you'll never expect it."
"Right."
"You're gonna get me huh?" He says to her.
She continues watching him as he talks and lavishes affection on her belly.
"She's really active today."'
"Mmhmm. Some days are more than others."
"It really just depends on her."
"She's still doesn't have much control over it yet."
"Right." He nods.
"Soon though."
"Well whether she has control over it or not, I still love it."
"I know. Me too babe."
Then he moves so that he's up by you, but he keeps a hand on her stomach and rubs it. She leans in and gives him a long, slow kiss.
"I love you, so much." He says, after she pulls away.
"I love you just as much." She smiles, rubbing her nose against his.
"And the same goes for Savvy."
"She loves you just as much too."
She snuggles into him and buries her face in his neck.
"I wish we could stay like this." She mumbles.
"I know. Only if I didn't have to go to Smackdown to be there for Truth in his match against Evan."
"Yeah..."
"But hey we can leave right after that."
"Good."
"But that means before it, just a lot of sitting around and waiting."
"Boring." She mutters.
"I know, but we can get up and walk around too if you want."
"Mmkay. I can think of other things too." She says against his neck, kissing and nipping his skin gently.
"...like what...?"
"What am I doing hmm?"
"...distracting..."
"Mmhmm..."
"...well that's something...to look forward...to."
She giggles.
"Of course it is."
She continues to be affectionate, smiling as she feels his pulse speeding up. He just loses focus on everything at that point, and focuses more on her and the distraction. She feels his hands starting to wander and she giggles, twitching when he brushes a ticklish spot. One of her hand starts to wander down to the bottom of his shirt, before she slides her hand under it. She runs her fingers up to his chest and back down over his abs. He tenses like always and makes quiet noises. She moves her hand down and tucks two fingers under his waistband, sliding them back and forth. The noises then get louder, leading to a pretty loud growl. She starts giggling but doesn't let up.
"...evil..." He says, still growling.
"You love it." She sings lightly.
"You're...in trouble later."
"Later huh?"
"Yes."
"I figured you'd try and turn the tables on me here." She giggles.
"Oh I was thinking about it. But I have plans...for later."
"If you say so."
"Don't underestimate me."
"Oh I know. You're a sneak."
"That's right."
She leans up and teasingly brushes her lips over the corner of his mouth. At the last second however, he turns his head and ends up pressing his lips against hers. She goes to pull back but her reaches up and holds her in place. She decides to give in and relax, kissing him back.
"Tease me like that..." He mumbles after pulling away.
"Its fun and you know you love it." She brushes her lips against his again.
"And I always get you back."
"I know."
"I'll be prepared for whatever it is you have in store for me later." She adds.
"Good." He smirks.
"You should be prepared always."
"I know. You love me so much I can get attacked at any moment." She laughs.
"Exactly. Same for you."
"I learned from the best." She giggles.
Mike chuckles.
"You did." He agrees, kissing her head.
"I couldn't be anymore proud of you."
"Really?"
"Really."
"I'm proud of you for many things. Most of all this." He puts his hands on her stomach.
"Is that so?"
"Yes it is."
"You're going through all this for us to have a baby and you haven't complained hardly at all. You're amazing."
She looks at him and sees the seriousness and love in his eyes. Her eyes fill up with tears and her lips tremble as she tries not to cry. He sees that she's trying not to cry and he moves his hands to wrap his arms around her in a hug. She buries her face in his chest, tears spilling over. He lays his head against hers and rubs a hand up and down her back to soothe her. Mike whispers things in her ear soothingly until she's able to get ahold of herself.
"I got your shirt wet...sorry." She sniffles, looking sheepish.
"It's okay. It'll dry."
"I can take it off anyway." He adds.
"I'm sure you'd prefer that anyway." He continues, smirking.
She sniffles and giggles while he wipes the tears from her face.
"Especially since I'm wearing jeans."
She giggles more.
"Tis true..."
She kisses his wrist.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
"And I love you too." He says, looking down at her stomach.
"She loves you too daddy."
He does end up taking his shirt off and he gets comfortable in his spot and relaxes. She gets an idea and goes to rummage in her bag. She takes off her shirt and stuff to put on the bandeau tube top Mike enjoys before going back to her spot. She lays against him, sighing happily at the skin contact.
"Feel better?"
"Mmhmm."
"Good." He smiles.
"I like this. We need to lay like this more often." She murmurs, snuggling.
"Yes we do. Tell you what, we can set aside time each day for this."
"Sounds like a great plan."
Hours pass and it's about that time to start getting ready to leave for the show. She groans and whines.
"I know I know, you don't wanna move."
"We'll have more time later." He assures her.
"I still don't wanna move."
"I know, but you have to...sorry."
She whines.
"Need convincing huh? I can do that." He says.
She goes quiet and looks at him curiously. He smirks and before she knows it, his lips were pressed to hers in a hard kiss. She responds after a second and shortly after that he pulls away.
"...okay..." She murmurs dazedly.
"Works everytime."
He helps her up and they both get ready. He changes his whole outfit, changing into a grey suit with a purple shirt and a pinkish tie.
"Thinking of Savvy huh?" She smiles from her spot on the bed since she's already finished.
"Of course I am."
"Cute." She giggles.
"I knew you'd think so."
Mike finishes and walks over to her, pulling her up into his arms.
"You look good." She says and kisses his cheek before he looks her over.
"So do you. Beautiful." He kisses her gently.
She can't help but blush and hide her face once he pulls away. He chuckles.
"Cute."
Her face heats up more.
"Quit."
"Just saying Princess."
"We should go. Don't want you to be late."
"Right." He nods.
They grab their things and head down to the car. Alex and I were already waiting, so once they got down to the car and Mike unlocked it, we all piled in and headed off to the arena.
"Its weird being at Smackdown, we haven't been in so long."
"I know, but hey we get to see Nattie." I point out.
"True."
"She'll be happy to see the little bump after she just mentioned something about it Monday night."
"Of course." She smiles
"And you know what else. There's the chance of running into Justin, Wade, Ted and Cody."
"Oh boy." Aly mutters.
"Should be interesting."
"Yeah."
Then we get to the arena and go to the room we're staying in to watch the show. Mike and Alex walk behind us as the two of us talk. She rubs her stomach absentmindedly while walking. We do make it to the room without running into people...for now. We take our spots on the couches and relax while we wait. Mike and Alex instantly have their hands on our stomachs. Aly smiles when Mike slides his hands under her shirt so he's touching bare skin. She leans back, turning her head and kisses the corner of his mouth. He smiles andd returns the favor. Soon the show had started and Justin had just introduced Edge.
"Heyyyy."
"Nice."
He does his entrance just like he used to do before he retired. Then we see that there will be a special edition of the Cutting Edge with guests Randy and Mark Henry. The crowd is still going nuts after Edge's music stops.
"Damn I miss that. You know...even if this never happens again, even if this is a one time occurance, it feels so good to stand in a WWE ring again. But I'll do it one better 'cause it feels...it feels even better to be back in MY home town...Toronto! You know since I was forced to retire I've done some pretty cool things. I got to shoot a tv show, I've been in all kinds of stuff and it's been fun."
Edge's little thing goes on, until Cody's music cuts him off.
"Oh boy."
"Let me give credit where credit is due. I was sure that you were going to come out here Edge to pontificate on your appearance on the Sy-Fy series Haven, which airs tonight after Smackdown. I mean what an opportunity for the ultimate opportunist and you didn't take it. All the same it sounds to me like you are sucking up to these people. I thought you were above that. Maybe not. Maybe you're just like all of these blank and hopeless faces that are in need of paper bags over them. Maybe..."
"Maybe...maybe you should quit bitching and moaning about injuries and masks over your face, blaming everyone but yourself. Maybe you should do something yourself and quit blaming everybody else. Look in the mirror, even though it's disfigured."
"He's not disfigured. He's stupid is what he is."
"You know it sounds like you're a little bitter. Let's examine that...why would you be bitter? I mean the last time I saw you, you were triumphant at Wrestlemania. You walked out the World Heavyweight Champion, while I wallowed in tragedy at my blemished exterior. But...there's always a but. I went on to become the Intercontinental Champion, I went on to dispose of the weak-minded Ted DiBiase, and last Monday in the main event of Monday Night Raw I defeated the World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton. So tell me who's the triumphant now?"
"Not you...sorry."
"And I guess...I guess that would make you the...the tragedy."
Cody goes over to the ropes and is handed one of the paper bags, the crowd chanting 'Spear'. He hands Edge the bag and he takes it.
"Now I know you're not gonna take that, and you're not going to place it over your head. I want you to take it home, I want you to place it on your mantel in your home office as a reminder of what Smackdown has become. The new HOME of the new FACE of Smackdown, the Intercontinental Champion...Cody Rhodes."
"Edge is not amused."
"Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it. But if you're the new face of Smackdown, then I think the show needs a paper bag much more than I do." Edge says, handing Cody back the bag.
"That doesn't even make sense."
"You're right it doesn't make sense. What else doesn't make sense is how someone so charismatic like the American Dream Dusty Rhodes actually sired you. And to be perfectly honest, since I think you're gonna keep talking, I think I'm gonna leave because if I don't I'm gonna fall asleep right here."
"Cut that music, cut that music. Hey, hey! Cut...I'm not done with you! I'm the Intercontinental Champion! Hey, hey! I'm the Intercontinental Champion, you're not better than me, none of you people are better than me! You know what...you know what? I'm going to enhance all of your lives right now, starting with you. You need a paper bag, you most likely need 2 paper bags, you need a paper bag, you especially need a paper bag..."
And then out of nowhere Cody gets hit by someone in the crowd with a paper bag on. The person removes the paper bag and it reveals to be Ted.
"Nice. Sneaky."
"He looks maaaad."
"Yes he does."
"You better run Cody haha."
But he doesn't get far, and Ted delivers his finisher Dream Street to him and then he goes over to the two men with the bags and demands one. When one of them doesn't give him one, he hits him too and grabs one off the floor where they fell. Cody ditches the ring with the title before Ted could even put the bag over his head.
"Darn."
Then we see Sin Cara and Daniel Bryan making their way to the curtain to obviously go out for their match. Of course after the commercial the match had begun with Sin Cara coming out first, followed by Daniel Bryan.
"It sucks we can't call him Wabbit Boy anymore."
"Darn."
"Just had to change that music didn't he."
"Apparently."
We didn't really pay attention to the match, but we did pay attention once Sin Cara's music played again out of nowhere when he wasn't even leaving the ring at all. The smoke and everything went off and then we see a 2nd Sin Cara.
"What the...?"
"Ohhh the original is back."
"Oh yeah...'cause there's a difference in height and everything." I say once they both are in the ring now and staring each other down.
"Yeah."
"This is going to be an interesting storyline."
"Yeah, that's true."
"Everyone in the audience is probably so confused." I laugh.
Aly nods, laughing too. And then of course they show stuff about Mark Henry.
"Boring...he's crazy...what's new?"
"Mmhmm." Aly agrees and slides her hands inside Mike's suit jacket.
After the commercial break, Zack's in Teddy's office with him.
"Come on Teddy, you know that Mark Henry and Randy Orton can't stand in the same ring for the Cutting Edge without...without manhandling eachother. I mean come on bro, I mean last week Mark, he laid me out, I didn't even do anything...for no reason."
"Poor Zack."
"Yeah. I bet Charity took good care of him though."
"Oh I'm sure she did."
"I wonder how their planning is going."
"Yeah, if we end up running into them tonight, we should ask."
"For sure." Aly agrees.
"Well I'm gonna tell you something right now Zack. The both of them are going to act like professionals. Because once again, I'm going to invoke a no contact rule. Now what that means is if Orton or Henry engage in any physicality during the Cutting Edge, then the match this Sunday is off. You got that? Well I want you to relay it to both of them."
"Yeah...I'll pass it along." Zack replies, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.
"Playa', woo woo woo, don't blow it."
Then Aksana comes into the room and the lighting changes and music plays.
"Eww, she's going to flirt with him again."
"Oh gross." She makes a face, hiding against Mike.
"Yeah, I don't wanna watch this." I say, hiding against Alex myself.
Alex starts to distract me with touches and kisses. Mike starts to do the same with Aly as well. She leans into his kisses but squirms as his fingers brush over the skin of her stomach since his hands are still under her shirt. He smiles as he continues to kiss her skin, and continues to brush his fingers over the skin of her stomach. She can't help giggling.
"Love you...love you...love you..." He mumbles against her skin repeatedly.
"Love you too." She giggles.
"Mr. Affectionate." She adds.
"Always." He smiles and doesn't stop what he's doing.
She sighs in content. The distractions are short lived though once we hear Beth's music and happen to look over at the tv and see Nattie come out with her for her match against AJ.
"Okay, we want to watch this so cool it." Aly says.
"Awwwwwwww." Mike pouts.
"Later Mister Touchy Feely." She pats his leg.
"...okay..."
He starts to pull his hands out but she stops him.
"Those are fine as long as you stop with the teasing touches."
"I can deal with that." He nods.
Alex just has his head resting on my shoulder. We can already tell that the match won't be a long one, because Beth is stronger than AJ and she proves it by lifting AJ up with both hands, before dropping her. AJ tries her best to fight back, but it's no use because Beth gives her the Glam Slam and she wins the match. Kaitlyn gets AJ and they slide out of the ring and Nattie gets in, Beth being handed a mic.
"This Sunday Kelly Kelly, the clock's about to strike midnight. Because you and all of the other Cinderellas in the WWE are about to have a very uhappy ending to your little fairytale."
"With the way Creative is...I don't think that's gonna happen."
"Which sucks. I mean don't get me wrong, Kelly is nice but...things need to change."
"Yeah, I agree with you."
After the commercial break, a promo for Sheamus was shown before Edge and Trish Stratus were seen backstage and she was obviously teaching him something before Christian shows up.
"Ugh, not him."
"Whinebag." Aly mutters.
"What's going on? Trish nice of you to show up when you got something to sell. Selfish. Anyways listen, you and I are back together. It's good to see you man, how's it going?"
"It's...great to see you too. I know we missed phone calls, and after what happened at SummerSlam I thought you were a little upset with me."
"Yeah SummerSlam you know, it's like maybe you cost me the World Heavyweight Championship maybe you didn't. I mean, maybe you made me lose my concentration...you know what, I can't fault you after thinking about it you know. You were just speaking your mind and you were being honest, you were telling the truth."
And of course they hug after that like nothing ever happened.
"Hey, but since tonight is a big deal for you and you're hosting the Cutting Edge and you know the whole deal, maybe before that you can slide into Teddy Long's office you know? Do me a favor, kind of pay me back for what happened, tell him that I deserve one more match for the World Heavyweight Championship. You know I deserve it."
"Uh noooo, you don't.
"In his dreams maybe."
"You don't...you don't think I deserve it? Is that what that look on your face is? After all we've been through? Hey man, let me remind you at Wrestlemania...your very last match...I was in your corner, I had your back, I made sure you left as the World Heavyweight Champion. Come on!"
"Whinebag."
"You're giving me a headache okay? I didn't want to say this the first time, I don't want to say it now, but you're acting like a little bit-"
"D...don't say that to me again. Okay fine. That's how it's gonna be huh? I guess I'll just see you around sometime Edge." Christian says, walking down the hall.
"Hey hey Edge, um...Teddy said there's no contact on the Cutting Edge, so if you could please tell Mark and Randy please? Tell them, tell them alright? Tell them, woo woo woo you know it! Tell them, tell them! Tell them!" Zack says really fast before dashing away.
We start laughing.
"Ohhh Zack."
"Poor guy." Aly giggles.
"Was that...was that the Internet Champion?" Trish asks.
"What just happened?"
"I don't know, we...we need some yoga, just breath..." Trish adds before the screen changes to the next match of the night, with Wade's music playing and he walks out.
"Oh relax...you have nothing to worry about with him. He apologized way back."
"I know he did but I just can't forget what he's done."
"I know..." I sigh.
"I'm with him on that. I won't lie, being around Wade makes me nervous." Aly says.
"And you have every right to be nervous." Mike nods.
"I know."
She snuggles into him for fore extra comfort. After another commecial break there was a Smackdown flashbck to match that Chris had against JTG with Big Show ringside for him and Shad ringside for JTG. After that however was the tag match with Wade already in the ring and Christian was his partner. Then Justin Gabriel came out, followed by Sheamus.
"You know I really don't wanna watch this match, wanna go to catering or something?" I ask Aly.
"Sure I guess. I could always use a snack."
"Awww." Mike pouts.
"Oh stop. You'll live."
"We won't be gone that long." She adds.
"You said that last time."
"That wasn't my fault. I didn't think I was going to get hungry."
"Blame your daughter."
Mike looks slightly amused.
"We'll try not to take so long this time."
"Can't promise anything though."
"You know how we get around food." She adds.
"I know." He chuckles.
"Kiss for the road?" She tilts her face up, pushing her lips out slightly.
"I would never pass that up." He laughs, before leaning down and pressing his lips against hers.
She lingers for a minute before pulling away and untangling herself from him.
"Just make sure you make it back in time for the match."
"Will do." She leans over for one last kiss as she pulls his hands out from under her shirt.
I do the same with Alex, kissing him before he moves his hands and I untangle myself from him and get up too. Aly gets up and we head out the door.
"I think we should be prepared to hear or see Nattie soon." I laugh.
"Probably." Aly giggles.
"Imagine what it's gonna be like bringing Savannah to these shows, being backstage and everything."
"That'll be fun." She smiles.
"She'd probably be telling stories to everyone with her baby talk."
"I'm sure." She giggles, rubbing her stomach fondly.
"I can't wait though, she's gonna be so adorable." She adds.
"Of course she will be." I smile.
"Mike insists that she's going to look like me."
"Awwww."
"I just hope she gets his eyes."
"Aww, yeah that would make her even more adorable."
"I can't wait."
"Me neither."
We get to catering and walk in, looking around at the selection. We're both careful to avoid the foods that make us sick. Once we grab what we want, we go and sit down to eat our food.
"Mmm...so good." Aly mumbles, popping some fruit in her mouth.
"Fruit is always good."
"True but it's more satisfying to eat if you're craving it."
"True, that and other food."
"Right." Aly nods.
"Most of my cravings have been like late at night." I laugh.
"I've had those." She giggles.
"It's a pain isn't it? You wanna sleep but you also wanna get up and eat." She adds.
"Yup." I nod.
"Now I get woken up by cravings and movement."
"When you get to where I am, you'll barely get a break."
"As far as sleeping goes anyway. You have to get comfortable, deal with cravings, movement, weird dreams, muscle spasms, and all kinds of oh so fun things." She adds.
"Oh boy."
"Mmhmm."
"You're in for a lot, that's for sure."
"But at least we're going through it together. Even if we're 10 weeks or so apart."
"Right."
"Someone's up." Aly remarks, looking at her stomach.
"Must be the food." I giggle.
"Probably."
"Either that or she's just in one of those moving moods."
"That's true too."
"She's getting stronger you know."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Pretty soon she'll be doing full fledge kicks and you'll be able to actually see her moving."
"I bet Mike's really excited."
"Oh he is." She smiles.
"He just can't wait to actually see her move."
"I told him I'm going to laugh when she kicks him while his head is right there." She snickers.
"That'll be funny to see."
"I know. She's already interrupted us while we were kissing." She laughs.
"Haha awww."
"We were putting her crib together and took a break, which ended up with us kissing and then she started moving while we were kissing."
"Sounds like she wanted you to get things done."
"That's what Mike said." She giggles.
"We did manage to get the rest of the nursery set up though."
"That's good."
Then we hear the familiar squeal of happiness and we're hugged by Natalya before she sits down at the table with us.
"Hit Nattie." We laugh.
"How're you two doing tonight?" She asks.
"We're good."
"What about you?" I add.
"I'm doing good too."
"That's good. Hey Dolce don't you have something to tell her?" Aly says, gving me a look.
"Oh yes." I smile.
Nattie looks curious.
"I have a bump now." I tell her.
"Really?" She says excited.
"Yup."
"Granted, it's a little one but yeah I have one."
"Awww."
"I wanna see."
I move and pull up my shirt a bit so she can see.
"Awwww."
"So cute." She gushes.
"It's just so funny how you mention something about it Monday and now all of a sudden I have one."
"Yeah." Nattie giggles.
"Alex is already really happy."
"Awww."
"He's more affectionate now and everything."
"That's sweet."
"Oh before I forget, we already picked out names."
"Ooooh. Spill!" Aly smiles.
First I tell them the boy name we had picked out.
"...and if it's a girl, her name is gonna be Aaliyah Jasmine."
"Awww. Those are great names."
"Alex picked out Aaliyah, he really liked that one."
"It's very pretty."
"I know." I smile.
Aly finishes her food and gets up tp throw away her garbage. I finish shortly after and throw my trash away as well. We return to the table and stay a while, talking with Nattie.
"Shall we go walk around? You know if we go back to the room, they won't want to let us up again." Aly says.
"Yeah, walking around sounds good."
Nattie agrees and we get up, leaving catering to go walk the halls.
"Oh Nattie, you should feel my stomach again. This time she's actually moving, no hiccups."
"Really?"
She puts her hand on her stomach.
"Oh wow."
"I know." She smiles.
"Just a couple more weeks until we actually get to see her moving."
"How exciting." She grins.
"Yeah until she kicks me in the ribs and other places that'll hurt."
"Aww." Nattie giggles.
"Oh well. Comes with the territory." Aly shrugs.
"I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end."
"Definitely."
We walk around for a while longer, until deciding to head back to the room just to make sure we're not gonna miss Mike's match. We hug and say bye to Nattie once we get to the room. She walks away and we walk in.
"Just in time, in a few minutes I'm leaving to head out there with Truth." Mike says.
"Told you we would be back in time."
"You worry too much."
He chuckles.
"I have my reasons."
"I know."
"Well the match shouldn't be too long, and I should be back soon."
"Okay."
"Then we can leave and head back to the hotel for the night."
"Sounds good."
"Alright, I'll see you after the match." He says, getting up from the couch.
"Forgetting something." She asks, mocking the question Mike usually asks.
"Of course not." He chuckles walking over and cupping her face before he kisses her.
"Mmm...love you." She murmurs when he pulls away.
"I love you too."
"She loves you too daddy." Aly says as he rubs her stomach.
"I know she does." He smiles.
"Have fun out there and be careful."
"I will, promise."
"Good."
He kisses her one last time before heading out the door. She sits down ont he couch as we watch Evan and Kofi come out first and wait for the commercial to be over. After the commercial break Mike and Truth came out to Truth's theme.
"Toronto Canada! Shut your stupid mouths and listen to R-Truth's new remiiiiix!" Mike says to the crowd.
"Oh god." I facepalm.
"People over there what's up, Canada listen this is what's up. You suck."
"You suck."
"You suck."
"You suck."
"You suck."
"You suck."
"Now that's what's up."
"You can get with this or you can get with that. The Awesome Truth, this is where it's at. You suck."
"You suck."
"You suck."
"You suck."
"You suck."
"You suck."
"You suck."
"You suck."
And of course Mike is dancing around a bit during this. Aly laughs at him.
"You wanna know what's up, here's the deal. The truth's being told, I'm gonna keep it real. First of all pow in your mouth, we don't like none of ya'll, how do you like us now."
"Now." Mike says all gangster like.
Aly facepalms.
"The sundance superman, he's in the place. If you don't like it, I can fix your face. See I've had it up to here with ya'll, the happy go-lucky Little Jimmy and all. He's the Miz, I'm Truth, we're Awesome Truth. This is how we feel about all of you. You suck."
"You suck."
"And you suck."
"You suck."
"You suck. Toronto Canada..."
"...sucks." They both finish at the same time.
"Wow." Aly laughs.
"Ohhhhh you married that." I say through my laughter.
"Yup. Baby, your daddy is a goofball." She says to her stomach.
Mike is out of the ring now, going over to commentary to join Cole, Josh, Booker and Kofi.
"That was phenomenal! Miz, that was great. Did you write the lyrics, you had to write the lyrics to help R-Truth write the lyrics for that right?" Cole asks.
"We would like to dedicate that song to Air Boom and..." Mike starts to say before Kofi interrupts him and Cole is heard just laughing.
"Wait a second he's talking about my suit. Listen, look at you. You're in a t-shirt and jeans, I'm in a $1,000 suit. I act, look, walk and talk like a champion."
"Okay well here's the thing. Since I have this championship title and I'm wearing jeans and t-shirt, this is what a champion dresses like by default, so pipe down son." Kofi retorts.
"Thank you very much for keeping it warm for me, for this Sunday."
Then Cole starts talking about Bret Hart and everything while they watch the match.
"Miz tells us about Monday Night where you beat Kofi Kingston."
"I beat Kofi Kingston, just like we're gonna beat them this Sunday at Night of Champions."
Evan misses Airbourne and Truth hit his finisher on Evan winning the match. Mike leaves commentary and gets into the ring, raising Truth's hand in victory. They do their handshake thing, before the screen changes to more stuff about Randy and Mark.
"Thank god we can leave now."
"I know right?"
We all wait for Mike, not really paying too much attention to the show. Finally the door opens and Mike walks back in.
"Yayyy we can go." Aly cheers.
"You were the biggest goof out there by the way."
"It was fun." Mike chuckles.
"We noticed." I snicker.
"Trying to be a gangster now?"
"Hey at least he pulls it off better than Otunga and McGillicutty."
"True...they do so horrible at it. They try way too hard."
"Yeah."
"Anyways, I'm sure you wanna leave now."
She nods. Alex and I get up while she shifts to the edge of the couch so she can get up. We make sure we have our things before heading out of the room and out to the car in the parking lot to head back to the hotel. We get to the hotel easily and go up to our rooms.
"Now time to relax." I say, falling back on the bed after I walk over to it.
"Yup." Alex agrees, laying beside me.
Then I lean over and kiss him briefly, making up for the time lost from the short distraction from earlier. Alex kisses me back. I start to pull away and he follows, not wanting to really stop. I giggle and I have to hold him back. Alex whines.
"Oh stop whining. I'm not going anywhere."
"Why'd you pull awayyyy."
"Because I needed airrrrrr."
"We weren't even kissing that hard or intense."
"Still. I'm more prone to sinus issues while pregnant."
"And I don't want sinus issues."
"Oh."
"Like if I sneeze my nose could bleed. It doesn't happen to everyone, but I wanna be on the safe side you know?"
"Gotcha."
"Sorry if I killed the mood."
"It's alright."
"I'm gonna go get changed."
"Nooooo." He whines.
"Yesssss."
"Not yetttt."
"Yesss. Alex, I want to be more comfortable..."
"...okay, fine."
"Sorry. Its just these pants and stuff are tighter now and its uncomfortable to wear them for long periods of time. I feel better when things are looser and don't press on my stomach so much."
"I know, it's okay."
Alex lets me go and the two of us get changed for bed. We climb into bed and lay there for a while with the light on and talk and everything. Once I start to feel tired, I snuggle into him more and that's when he turned the light off.
"Night love." He kisses my head.
"Night."
In the room with Mike and Aly, she went right over to her things and grabbed some clothes to change into so that she'd be comfortable herself. She changes and climbs onto the bed, only in a light tanktop and boyshorts since she's feeling warm. Mike changes himself, also climbing onto the bed and wrapping her in his arms. She cuddles into him.
"We get to see Savvy again soon."
"I know, I'm excited."
"Me too."
"She'll be even bigger than the last time."
"Yeah she will be."
"It'll be amazing to see how much she's grown since the last time."
"I know." She smiles.
"More pictures too."
"Yup."
"And more of her heartbeat too." She adds.
"Yeah, one of the best sounds ever." Mike smiles.
"Definitely."
"Which it's okay to cry about again, although you're used to it by now."
She looks up at him and giggles.
"We'll see what happens."
"Okay." She nods, pressing a kiss to his neck.
"So...you suck rap tonight huh?" She snickers.
"Yes."
"Dorky dancing." She giggles.
"A different style of dorky dancing."
"Still funny."
"Of course you'd think so."
"Of course."
"We're doing that Sunday too."
"Fun." She giggles.
"Is that so?"
"Yep."
"But she loves her goofy daddy."
"I love her too." He smiles, rubbing her belly.
"And she knows that."
"You tell her all the time." She adds.
"Because it's true, and I want her to know every day."
"I know." She kisses his neck gently. "I love you."
"I love you too."
"We're gonna be in Cleveland Monday, back home."
"Oh, we get to see the nursery!" She says excitedly.
"Oh yeah, that's right." He smiles.
"You're mom said it was finished when I talked to her the other day."
"Really? Well I can't wait to see it."
"Me either." She bounces in his arms excitedly.
"You're more excited than me." He chuckles.
She just laughs, still bouncing against him.
"Okay okay, calm down."
"Whyyyy?" She giggles, knowing it's driving him crazy.
"Because we'll be going to bed soon, and you can't sleep while you're bouncing around."
"But its fun."
"I know it is, but you have to calm down."
"Awwww." She pouts.
"I know it's exciting because we'll get to see it."
"Uh-huh." She nods.
"It'll be Monday before you know it, so why don't we try to go to sleep?"
"...I guess..." She stops bouncing.
"Good."
"I'm just not super tired yet."
"Well we can lay here and talk for a bit until you get tired."
"Okay." She agrees, getting comfortable.
"Light on or off?"
"Off."
He nods and reaches over, shutting the light off and then getting comfortable in his spot on the bed. They talk and Mike alternates between running his fingers through her hair and rubbing her back, which slowly puts her to sleep. Once she drifts off completely, he kisses the top of her head and quietly says goodnight to her before going to sleep himself.
