Today is one of those relaxing days where we have nothing to do. Well except for me, since I have an appointment today. I got up and rummaged through my things, picking out clothes to wear for the day, and then I head into the bathroom to take a shower. I took a pretty decent length shower, before stepping out and doing all that I had to before walking out of the bathroom. Alex is already up as I walk out of the bathroom, and I stop suddenly as I start to feel something weird. It dawns on me and I look at my stomach with surprise.
"You okay?" Alex asks as he sees the strange look on my face.
"Uh...yeah. I just felt something a little weird, I think it's the flutters that Aly told us about."
"Really?" He says excitedly after his eyes go wide.
"Yeah, I think so. Man that felt weird."
"It stopped?"
"I don't know, give me a minute."
I stand there and wait and see if the flutters stopped, and sure enough I felt another one.
"Nope, still going."
Alex rushes over and puts his hands on my stomach, wanting to feel for himself.
"I don't know if you can feel them yourself."
"Aww." Alex pouts.
"All I know is that I can feel it, and it's the weirdest feeling ever."
"I bet."
"If I remember correctly, when Aly had this happen before she went to her appointment, she found out what she was having that day."
"Seriously?" Alex looks really excited now.
"Yeah, so I guess there's a possibility that we can find out today."
"I would love that."
"Of course you would."
"You would too, you know it."
"I know."
"I'm excited to see how much Baby Love has grown."
"Me too."
"So how long do we have before the appointment?"
"About a couple hours."
"Darn."
"Yeah, so you're gonna have to wait a while longer."
"Aw. Breakfast then?"
"Yeah sure. But you need to get changed first mister." I poke his chest, giggling.
He laughs and goes to get changed. I put my shoes on and grab my purse that had everything in it, while I wait for him.
"Ready." He soon says.
I nod and we head out the door and we decide to walk since places to eat weren't too far away from the hotel. We hold hands the whole way there. We find a place and walk in, being seated shortly. We look through the menus for drinks while we wait. We order those and shortly after that, we order our food.
"Time is going by so slow." Alex sighs.
"You'll survive." I laugh.
"And yes I'm sure." I add.
Alex chuckles.
"I'll try."
"Good." I say, leaning over to him for a kiss.
"Just remember, we may or may not find out what we're having."
"I know. I hope we do though. That would be amazing."
"It would be." I nod.
Our food comes and we eat while talking. After we do finish eating, we pay and leave. Since there was still a lot of time left before the appointment, we just walked around. Before we realize it, time flies and it's time for my appointment.
"Guess what time it is." I smile.
"Yayyyyyy."
"We just need to head back so we can get the car, the doctor's is farther away from here."
"Okay." He nods.
We head back to the hotel and over to the car, getting inside. Then we head off to the doctor's. We get to the doctor's and check in. Shortly after that, my name is called. I go through the normal tests and everything before going into the room and waiting. The doctor comes in and talks to us for a bit before she sets up the ultrasound.
"Now is there any way that we can find out today what exactly we're having?"
"We can try. It all depends on the baby."
"We'd like to try."
She nods and moves the wand around to see if she can get a good angle to check the baby's gender. But unfortunately Bear isn't cooperation, so she isn't able to check the gender.
"Sorry guys but your little one is stubborn." She laughs a little.
"Awww."
"You might have better luck next time."
"We'll try next time then."
"Any questions or anything?"
"Can we hear the heartbeat?"
"Oh sure." She smiles.
She turns on the sound and as she moves the wand around we hear the heartbeat. I immediately smile and start to choke up.
"That's Bear..."
"Yeah..." Alex says, sounding choked up himself.
I look up at him just in time to see a tear running down his cheek.
"You're crying..."
"Can you blame me?" He manages to say.
"No, not really. But you're gonna make me cry."
"Sorry." He laughs a little.
"It's okay."
Alex leans down and kisses me.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
My appointment lasts a little longer and then the doctor prints out some pictures for me before she leaves. We leave the room and out of the building, going over to the car. We get in and sit there for a while as we look over the pictures.
"We made that." Alex says quietly as we observe the photos.
"Yes...we did." I smile.
Alex wraps me in a hug, laying his head on mine.
"You know what I read? At this point in the pregnancy...Bear can hear us talking."
"Really?"
"Mmhmm."
"Can we go lay in bed for a while?"
Alex smiles and we both go lay in bed. Of course when he lays down, he scooches down so that his head is by my stomach. Right then I knew he was gonna start talking to Bear since I mentioned it. And that's exactly what he does, talking quietly while rubbing my belly gently.
"You're too cute."
He smiles up at me and continues.
"I'm feeling the flutters again...Bear must hear you."
Alex grins widely.
"That reminds me, I have to call into a radio show to do a quick interview and that's in a few minutes or so." Alex remarks.
"Oh okay."
"You can go online and listen again if you want."
"Sure, sounds fun."
"You're gonna have to move first." I add.
"More cuddling afterwards?"
"Promise." I nod.
Alex seals the promise with a kiss and then gets my laptop and his phone. He tells me the site to go on and I do so, listening to who's on the radio now being interviewed, while Alex calls into the station and is put on hold until his turn. Alex steals a quick kiss from me while he waits.
They introduce him and play his music, before starting the interview.
"Good morning Alex."
"Good morning, how're you doing? That's a hell of a song huh? That intro song?"
"We like the tune. Do you mind if we call you A-Ry?"
"Yeah go ahead. I'm the rare breed Alex Riley, thank you-"
"What was the other one? The Varsity Killer. What was the other character you went by?"
"The Varsity Villain. I appreciate you remembering that." Alex laughs.
"You were kind of the douchebag jock that beat everyone's ass."
"Yeah...well yeah that's who I kind of was in high school. Though I wouldn't call myself a douchebag."
"You know you're a good sport because we talked to CM Punk not too long ago, and I brought up some monocure he went by years ago, and he did not appreciate it so-"
"Uh...well he's a little sensitive if you know him well, he's a tiny bit sensitive. You gotta...see him every once in a while. If he wakes up on the wrong side of the morning, it'll be a tough day for you."
"Who was your prom queen by the way when you were wrestling around with the Varisty bit?"
"I had with the WWE...I had this one girl who went by Courtney Taylor, that we did a prom queen thing for a while. But my actual prom...I don't know who the actual prom queen of my high school was. I can't even remember. I think Kimberly Davidson maybe?"
"Oh yeahh."
"But it's been a while."
"Yeah, it's been a while. We've talked to many WWE Superstars about 4 hours sleep."
"Oh god, I mean uh...I'd like to say last night but not even last night. Yeah, I had to get up and go with my wife to her appointment because of our baby, and I had to do this interview."
"How is that whole situation going?"
"It's going pretty good actually. We heard the heartbeat for the first time today." He explains.
I smile and take his free left hand and play with his fingers and his ring.
"Well we always feel bad because we know how hard you guys work, and with you yourself going through the baby stuff with your wife."
"Yeah it is a pretty tough schedule, even for her and the baby. But Tuesday night depending on the schedule we'll have that day off. But I don't think people realize that when they watch Monday Night Raw. It's Friday, Saturday, Sunday we're on the road. And the Monday night show that everyone sees on TV is really the last show of our loop that we've had all week. And it goes on every week, 52 weeks a year, and you barely seldomly get a couple days off. We're leaving for Mexico here on Friday. We'll be in Colorado and then passing over into Mexico. So yeah, it's a ton of travel and a lot of people don't get that. They see Raw and they think okay we have one show a week, we have to prepare for that one show. But it's not like that, it's usually an average of 4 to 5 shows a week, and never stops. But it's fun though, and it's a lot of travel but you get to see the world and it's really cool."
"I was gonna ask you about your trips outside the United States, so I'm glad you brought it up. I love watching the programs you do from Iraq and Afghanistan and things like that. The shows for the troops are always a blast. But when you go to places like Mexico, Japan, the fan excitement level seems to just absolutely double. I don't know if you made this trip, but there was some trip to Japan recently where there were grown men crying in the damn stands. Talk about if you can some of your experiences with how in different parts of the world, it's just madness."
"Yeah it's great that you...yeah you noticed that too because it is...it's so very true that you go to these places and that don't often get us live. And I remember we landed in Australia...Sydney, and there's thousands of people at the airport waiting for you to get off the plane. And they're excited, they're in your face, they want your autograph. They're appreciative of an entertainment company being able to travel over there. And them really getting to see the guys they see on TV, their heroes, the WWE Superstars in person. And it's really unbelievable...'cause I'm still pretty new to this. I've really only been traveling with the company for about a year. And to get off a plane in London or in Sydney, and have people know who you are, is just phenomenal. I think it to the power of the WWE and this whole WWE Universe that has gone worldwide at this point in a major way. It's an incredible feeling and what an amazing thing. You think you're making an impact on the US and then to get off a plane in one of these countries to have people screaming A-Ry, it's incredible."
"Alex your travels are gonna bring you here, the WWE Supershow tickets for Raw. The show is on Monday, February 20th at Target Center. Tickets are going on sale this Saturday at ten o'clock. The other obvious question I have for Alex Riley is...or for any male wrestler on the WWE roster. How in the hell do you work on a day to day basis with some of those divas, without doing something completely innapropriate?"
"At first to be honest, it's tough. You walk around trying to do your job and you're surrounded by beautiful women all the time. Beautiful, powerful you know, smart, educated women that are doing the same thing that you're doing. But then after a while you kind of...it becomes kind of routine like everything else. And I'm actually married now so...yeah."
"The only innapropriate things you can do is with me." I mutter.
He has to bite back a laugh as he hears me.
"Well do me this favor, between now and February in the Twin Cities. If Kelly Kelly get a bloody nose...bring me the kleenex okay? That's all I ask, it's not a big deal."
"Ew..." I mumble to myself
"So if I walk into the half ass morning show on February 19th with a bloody kleenex, you'll take it, you'll put it on the wall, you'll frame it."
"I want to put it on the wall of my fish house."
"Well I'm gonna make that happen. When you guys have me on February 19th, I can promise you a bloody kleenex from Kelly Kelly."
"Um...ew much?" I say, after hitting his arm lightly.
He laughs.
"We'll have you on no matter what."
"Okay."
"That's awesome. You're really willing to do that?"
"Absolutely. If you have me on the air, I will absolutely be willing to do that. I'll bring you two. I'll bring you one from Rosa Mendes as well."
"Alex...gross." I make a face.
He laughs again.
"No, what I want you to do with her is freeze one of her farts and bring it in."
"Ohhhh."
"We want...we want the cougar...Vickie Guerrero."
"Yeah I don't like her too much."
I laugh this time.
"Understatement."
"Me neither A-Ry, I don't even want anything from her. Nothing."
"Well uh...yeah I'm completely thrown at times by uh...oooh yeah whatever happened to Maryse? Someone just passed me something and said Maryse. Damn I miss her."
"I sure as hell don't." I mumble.
"Yeah I don't know, she hasn't been on television in a while. Um...yeah I honestly don't know, I'm sure she's still out there. She might be on Smackdown right now though. But the thing is we don't really like her either."
"That too is an understatement."
Then I put my computer down on the table next to me that's next to the bed, and I turn back to Alex as he's still going with the interview. I decide to have a little fun and start being distracting. Alex has to try really harad to stay focused on the interview. From what I could hear, they were ending the interview and he had hung up, putting his phone aside.
"You little minx." He says after turning to me.
"Love you too." I smile innocently.
"I love you but don't be all innocent with me."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh yes you do." He starts moving closer.
"Oh no..."
"Yes."
"Noooo."
"Yessssss."
"You started the distracting...now you suffer the consequences." He adds.
"Noooooo." I repeat.
"Too late..."
I squeal as he carefully pins me down.
"I told you."
"Alex." I giggle as he lavishes affection on me.
"You started it."
He chuckles as I squirm a little.
"Do you wanna hear Bear's heartbeat again?" I ask, while still squirming.
"Yes." He stops.
"I have to get the doppler from Aly then."
Alex reluctantly moves.
"Why don't you just call her and ask her to bring it over instead?"
"Or I could just walk down the hall..."
"Do you have to?"
"Alex, I'll be right back."
"...okay...fine.."
I kiss him and get up. I head out the door and walk down the hall to Aly and Mike's room, knocking on the door. Mike answers it.
"Oh, hey Carls. "
"Hey, where's Aly?"
"She's sleeping." He replies, motioning with his head towards the bed.
"Oh, well I just wanted to know if Alex and I could borrow that doppler of yours."
"Yeah sure." Mike nods.
I step inside the room as Mike goes to get the doppler for me.
"Thanks." I say as he hands it to me.
"Heard the heartbeat today didn't you?" He asks.
"Yeah. It made Alex cry."
"That happened to me when I first heard Savvy's."
"Aww." I smile.
"Oh, by the way, did you find out what you're having?"
"No...Bear was being stubborn."
"Oh that sucks." He chuckles.
"Yeah, maybe next time though."
"Right."
"But I'll talk to you guys later."
"Alright. Bye Carls."
"Bye." I say, heading out the door and back to my room.
A few hours pass and Aly starts to stir, feeling movement in her belly.
"Stop moving..." She mumbles.
She whines when she doesn't stop, burrowing into the pillows. Mike notices her discomfort and he tries to calm her down. She repeatedly groans quietly until she start to slow down.
"Better?" He asks her.
"Mmhmm." She mumbles.
"Still tired huh?"
She pulls him up and snuggles into him.
"...don't wanna get up yet..."
"...too comfy..." She adds.
"You can sleep as much as you want, don't worry."
She nods lightly as he runs his fingers through her hair.
"Carly stopped by a few hours ago, just thought you would like to know."
"What for?"
"The doppler."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
She lays a soft kiss over Mike's heart and nuzzles his chest.
"You want anything to eat or something? I can go get it for you." He asks.
"Hmm...I dunno."
"Totally up to you...whenever you want something just let me know, and I'll go get it."
"Mmkay. I'm good for now though."
"Alright." Mike kisses her head.
"So what happened last night? I remember going into the bathroom and sitting in the tub, but how'd I end up here?"
"You fell asleep and I got you out."
"Ohhh..."
"After I had fallen asleep for a bit anyway."
"Right."
"I guess you were more tired than I was."
"Once I relaxed, yeah."
"Well that's good."
She feels Mike nuzzling his face in her hair. She giggles inwardly, knowing he'll smell the raspberry sorbet shampoo she used.
"You and the raspberry..."
"I know you like it."
"Of course I do."
"Hence why I used it."
"Right."
She giggles.
"Now you're gonna be all cuddly because of it."
"Maybe..."
"I'm guessing I'm in for it now."
"Perhaps." He grins.
"Oh boy." She laughs.
"You'll have to wait to find out."
She sighs.
"Sorry."
"Mmm."
"You seem more awake now."
"Yeah...and?"
"Just saying."
"Oh."
He kisses her head before going back to nuzzling his face in her hair. It isn't long before he stomach growls.
"I think someone's hungry now."
"Yes." She blushes.
"We can go get something to eat if you want."
"That sounds good."
"Just let me get dressed first." She adds.
"Okay." He agrees, letting her go.
She gets up and goes to her clothes. she gets frustrated looking through her thigns. She growls and sighs loudly.
"What's wrong?"
"Half of this stuff doesn't even fit anymore. And some of the rest is summer stuff."
"Well here..." He trails off, sliding off the bed and going over to his things, rummaging through everything until he picks some clothes out.
"...how about you wear something of mine just to get you through breakfast and I'll take you shopping for more clothes. That okay?"
"Okay. But what about all this that doesn't fit?"
"We can see about packing it up and sending it to one of the houses, okay?"
"Alright." She agrees.
"Thank you." She adds, taking the clothes from him.
"You're welcome."
She leans up and kisses him quickly before heading into the bathroom to change and do everything else. Of course he follows her, wanting to help or watch. He decides to watch, leaning against the doorframe. She smiles and occasionally blows kisses at him. He smiles back and once she's done changed and starts working on her hair and everything else, he decides to walk in and be all cuddly again.
"Hi cuddly." She giggles.
"Hi." He grins.
She kisses his cheek quickly. He stands behind her and wraps his arms around her so that his hands rest on her stomach, and he rests his chin on her shoulder. She finishes her hair and does her makeup.
"You look great." He smiles.
"If you say so."
"I know so."
"You just love that I'm wearing your clothes."
"Of course."
"Goof."
"I know, but I'm your goof."
"Always, always, always." She says, kissing him in between words.
"Always." He repeats.
She gives him a lingering kiss and then pulls away.
"Food calls."
"Right, let's go then."
They leave the bathroom and grab their things, heading to the car. Mike drives them to a place and they go in. They're seated and the two of them order their drinks before looking over the menu.
"You're birthday is Saturday." She smiles.
"I know." Mike grins.
"It's going to be fun."
"Of course." He says.
"Anything planned?" He asks.
"Not telling." She giggles.
"Awwww."
"You'll live. Its only a few days."
"I suppose."
She kisses the corner of his mouth.
"You can make it."
"I can try."
"Sure." She laughs.
The waiter comes back over and they order their food, talking some more while they wait. The food comes to the table and they start to eat.
"Yayyy. Food."
"You're both hungry, I can tell."
"Mmhmm."
"That's probably why she woke me up by kicking me."
"Probably." He agrees, rubbing her stomach with one hand.
"But that was uncomfortable this morning."
"I'm sorry."
"Its okay. At least you helped. Thank you for that."
"You're welcome."
Shortly after that, they finish eating. Mike pays and we go to the car, heading off to the mall.
"You're going to enjoy this aren't you?" She giggles.
"Yes." Mike grins.
"I thought so."
They arrive at the mall.
"Hah, they have the expectant mothers parking spots." She laughs.
"They think of everything don't they?" He chuckles.
"Apparently."
"But what are we waiting for, let's park and go."
Mike parks and they get out. She laces her fingers with his as they walk inside.
"Where to first? Your pick." Mike asks.
"Maternity clothes."
"Alright, let's go."
She nods and they find the store. She goes around, picking out things.
"Okay, I'm gonna go try these on to make sure they fit alright.
Mike follows her to the fitting room and sits in the chair right there to wait.
"How does the first one fit?" He asks after a while.
"Its not bad."
"Good."
She tries on all the pants and leaves one pair on while she puts on some different tops.
"So far so good." She remarks.
"That's great. I wanna see."
She opens the door since the chair is right outside the stall she's in.
"I like that." He smiles once he sees.
"Me too."
"I like everything I picked out." She adds.
"Your picks too." She finishes before he says anything.
"Why thank you."
She shuts the door and changes into something else. This time she changes into one of the dresses that she had picked out. She opens the door and waits for his reaction.
"I love it."
She smiles. He motions for her to spin and she does a careful turn all the way around.
"Amazing." He grins and she blushes a little.
"That color looks great on you."
"It makes your eyes really pop." He adds, continuing to look her up and down.
"Charmer." She says, continuing to blush.
"You know it."
"Yes I do."
"And like I alway say, you're cute when you blush."
This makes the blush worse and she shuts the door to try something else on.
"I love you." He says from outside the door.
"Love you too babe."
She looks over what she hasn't tried on yet and picks a skirt, trying that on. She puts on a shirt and jacket, admiring the outfit before letting Mike see it.
"Wow, now I really love that."
"Yeah?"
"Oh yeah."
"You like looking at my legs." She teases.
"Mayybe."
"More like definitely." She laughs.
"Yeah..."
He reaches out since she had stepped closer. She steps back.
"Ah ah ahhhh." She scolds
"Awww...whyyy?" He whines.
"Because you'll get carried away."
"In a store? Really?"
"Not that far but I know you'll have trouble containing yourself."
"Awww."
She shuts the door again to try another outfit. This outfit is another dress, but one that Mike had picked out. She admires it and then opens the door.
"Oh Mike, this is your pick."
His eyes widen slightly as he looks her over.
"...so?" She asks.
"Just...wow."
"Good wow?"
"Very good wow."
"Good." She smiles.
"You did good." She adds.
"Yes I did." He mumbles.
"Very good." He grins, looking her over again.
She laughs and lets him look a little longer before shutting the door.
"Anything else to try on or are you all set?" He asks.
"I have more."
"Okay."
She turns her attention to the last little pile of things to try on and she smirks. She takes the dress off and tries on what's left from the little pile. She hides most of it after trying that much on. She leaves two of them to show Mike. Once she was ready, she opened the door again and showed him. A smirk tugs at the corners of her lips as she leans against the door.
"Now I'm just speechless."
"I can tell." She laughs lightly.
"So you really really really like it."
She teases him, making sure to stay out of reach.
"Ohhhh come on..."
She laughs.
"Maybe another day..."
Mike pouts as she goes to put on the last thing. Once change into that, she walks out again.
"You are so not making things easier."
"I know." She grins.
"But it's so much fun." She adds.
"Yeah, for you." He grumbles.
"Oh come on, you love it too."
"You know you do." She pokes his leg with her foot.
"Yeah I know."
"So a yes for this then?"
"Yes."
"Okay. This is the last thing so I'm going to get dressed and we can pay." She says, stepping close enough for a kiss.
"Alright." He says after kissing back.
She gets changed and brings all the clothes out. They go over to the cashier and Mike pays for everything.
"Thank you." She kisses his cheek as they leave.
"Anything for you."
"I'm going to put an outfit on. I love wearing your clothes but that is more for lazy indoor days."
"Right."
She picks out a pair of jeans and a pink shirt that has black long sleeves and a black hodd. She goes into the bathroom and changes. Once she comes out, she puts his clothes in one of the bags.
"Better?"
"Much." She smiles.
"Good."
"Somebody wants to say hi daddy." She tells him.
He smiles and leans down to her stomach, saying 'hi' back to Savannah, placing a hand on her stomach as well. Aly smiles as he stomach moves under his palm.
"I love you." He says to her.
"And mommy." He adds, kissing her.
She responds happily to his kiss.
"So where to next?"
She tells him and they go to there and several other stores before taking a break for food. After that, they go to Bath and Body. She spends some time in there, getting whatever she wanted. They pay for that stuff and walk out.
"Okay lover Boy. Your pick." She remarks.
"Yay." He smirks, looking around.
She watches him amusedly. Then he spots his favorite store and smirks.
"Alright, let's go."
"I figured." She laughs as he leads her in that direction.
They walk into the store and he insists that he picks out everything. She follows him around, looking amused.
"You're gonna go crazy with everything aren't you?"
"Maybe..."
"You mean definitely."
He smirks. She snickers and rubs her stomach.
"Just wait until you're born, daddy's gonna spoil you too." She says to Savannah.
"Yes I will." Mike agrees.
"My girls deserve to be spoiled."
"Aw." She giggles.
"Love you both." He smiles, leaning over and kissing her.
"We love you too."
Then he moves along, looking through things and picking out things that he likes.
"Alright, I think that's enough." He says.
"Sure?" She teases.
He looks in the bag, thinking for a bit.
"Yeah, I'm sure."
She laughs.
"I'll be sitting by the fountain out there while you pay." She tells him.
He goes over to the cashier with the bag of stuff that he picked out and waits for the person before him to pay for their things, and then when they were done, he pays for everything he picked out for her. He takes the bag and walks out to her.
"Anywhere else you'd like to go?"
She shakes her head.
"Alright, back to the hotel then."
They gather the bags and go to the car, putting it all in the backseat. They get in and Mike drives them to the hotel. Everything gets taken up to their room. She climbs up and sprawls out on the bed.
"All that shopping tire you out?"
"A bit."
"You can nap if you want."
"I don't want to nap. I just want to rest and cuddle."
"We can do that."
She moves and opens her arms for him. He kicks off his shoes before climbing onto the bed, and she wraps her arms around him. She snuggles as close as she can.
"My pillow."
"Yup." He chuckles.
"Always will be."
"Always." He assures her, kissing her head.
"For you and for Savvy after she's born."
"I know."
"She'll love sleeping on you." She adds, giggling.
"She's going to be such a daddy's girl." She smiles.
"I think we figured that out the way she responds to me." He chuckles.
"That's true." She agrees.
"Like I've said before, I'll love her to pieces."
"I know you will." She kisses his jaw.
Then she gets more comfortable and snuggles into him.
"I can't wait for us to be a family." Mike adds, letting his hand run up and down her back.
"Me neither."
His fingers press against a spot on her back and she arches, groaning.
"...do that again..." She mumbles.
He smirks and does it again. She groans again and sighs.
"Feels good."
"I can tell."
She nips at his jaw.
"...more please..."
He grins and does it for a third time.
"...god that feels good." She groans softly.
"Well now I know what I'm gonna have to do more often then."
"Definitely." She gives a little laugh.
"Another sensitive spot huh?"
"...mmm..."
Then he presses into that spot again.
"Ohhh..." She groans again.
"This is fun." He grins.
"And it feels so good." She mumbles.
"So you keep telling me."
"Just being honest."
"I know."
Then she feels his hand wandering.
"What're you doing?"
"Oh nothing."
"Riiiiiight."
"Sneak." She adds.
"You love me."
"Very much."
"And I love you very much."
"I know." She says, giggling as he gets more touchy feely.
"You're just Mr. Touchy Feely today aren't you?"
"Yes I am. You've been driving me crazy. I think I get to have my fun now."
"Oh boy."
"I have a feeling that I'm going to have marks after this." She adds, mumbling.
"Mayybe."
"Piranha."
"That's right." He chuckles.
"Because I love you and the noises you make." He adds with a smirk spreading across his face.
"Oh really? Why do I not find that surprising?"
"Because you know me."
"Very true."
"Well you can only hope Savvy doesn't interrupt you then. So I'd get started with what you plan on doing and start soon."
"Right." He smirks.
He then lets his hands continue wandering, and he presses his lips to her neck. She tilts her head and sighs. He wastes no time in nipping at the skin as he moves along. She makes small noises each time. He smirks against her skin each tim because like he said before, he loves the noises that she makes.
"Mmm...Mike..." She moans softly as he sucks and nips at a spot, intent on marks.
He continues as his hands keep wandering before lacing his fingers with hers. She squeezes his hands, laying her head against the bed. Once he feels like a mark has started to form, he moves onto another sensitive spot on her neck. She arches and makes a louder noise. He smirks again and pulls away from the spot, placing kisses everywhere along her neck. She squirms a bit, torn between giggling and groaning. He chuckles before moving to the other side of her neck and he does the same thing. Then he moves to her lips for a brief moment, before leaning his forehead against hers. She leaves her eyes closed, trying to calm herself a bit.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
"I guess Savvy decided to be calm the whole time."
"Guess you got lucky."
"Guess so."
"Anything else planned today? Other than watching the show?"
"No, not really."
"Oh."
"It's just one of those boring days I guess."
"I guess. We could always swim, do massages, go out for ice cream, soak in the tub..."
"Hmm well since we haven't gone swimming in a while we could do that. At least this time the pool is inside."
"Right." She agrees.
"Question is, do you wanna move or no?"
"I think I can manage."
"Alright."
"You're gonna have to let me go first though."
"Aww."
"You've been cuddly enough for now."
"Neverrrrrrr." He declares, clinging.
"Then no swimming."
"Damn." He mutters.
"But hey think about it...swimsuit."
"True..."
"...so, let me go then."
"...okay." He finally agrees and lets go.
She slides off the bed first and goes over to her things to pick out a swimsuit. She finds one and changes into it. He too changes into a swimsuit himself. She goes into the bathroom briefly to inspect the marks.
"Okay...not putting my hair up this time." She mutters to herself.
She walks back out as Mike finishes grabbing what they need.
"Can't put my hair up this time."
"Why?"
"Because of your marks."
"Oops."
"Yeah, oops."
He grins sheepishly and she shakes her head.
"Let's go Lover Boy."
He keeps grinning as he follows her out of the room and down to the pool.
"Would you quit grinning already?" She laughs as they get into the water.
"Whyy?"
"I get it, you're proud of your marks."
"Yes, yes I am."
She looks amused and pokes him in the ribs.
"Poke." She giggles.
"Poke." He mimics, poking her back.
Then they get into a poking war. She ends up wrapped in Mike's arms, gigging up a storm.
"I got you." He chuckles.
"Yep." She giggles.
"You started the poking though, so only blame yourself."
"True. But it was fun."
"Yes it was."
She twists and moves her head until she can see his face. Then she pokes him and giggles.
"Heyyyy."
"Poke." She laughs.
"Gonna play that game again huh?"
"Maybe."
"Hmm do I have to press into that spot in your back again?"
"I don't care, that feels good."
"Hmm, maybe later."
She shrugs and smiles at him. Then out of the corner of her eyes, all se saw walk by was a blonde head. Her smiles drops immediately.
"What? What's wrong?"
"...Frenchie..."
"Don't worry about her...okay?"
"I'll try."
He nods and holds her to him as close as she can get. He rubs her back soothingly and then leans down for a kiss. She responds, her eyes sliding shut. After they pull away, she buries her face in his neck just so that she wouldn't have to see Maryse. Mike kisses her head and continues rubbing her back as he pulls her along. He soothingly tells her things so that she can try and forget about Maryse being there. She nuzzles his neck while listening. Of course they didn't know, but she took one look at them and a look of total disgust formed on her face. She did notice at least one of the marks on Aly's neck that was visible and that just mae her a tad angry and still being disgusted. Mike runs his fingers through her hair, thus showing that there's more marks as he moves her hair. She's in shock at this point, but snaps out of it and shakes her head slightly before paying attention to what she was doing.
"Miss Jellybean is moving again." She murmurs against Mike's neck.
"I know, I can feel it." He chuckles, and she laughs a little.
"I think she's telling us that she likes the water."
"I think so. She's probably going to be a little waterbug."
"I wouldn't doubt it."
"Especially with the indoor pool at the Vegas house."
"Oh yeah." He nods.
"I'm excited about that house. Our first home together. I mean yes, our other places are now both of ours but this is the first as a couple."
"I know."
"I can't wait to decorate and everything. Pick out furniture..."
"It's gonna be a lot of fun."
"Definitely."
"We can start looking at furniture and stuff whenever you want to."
"Some stuff sure but I think most should wait until we go out there. I'd like to do the shopping in person instead of online. Testing things out is part of the fun anyway." She says, taking her face out of his neck and just laying it against his shoulder.
"True..."
"We get to go bed shopping." He smirks.
"Yes we do." She smirks.
"Yesss." He cheers.
"Lover Boy." She laughs more.
"Yup, that's me." He chuckles.
"Oh I know. Believe me." She grins.
They swim around for a while before deciding to get out and sit on a couple of the pool chairs. Mike just climbs out, going to get the towels ready while she wades up the steps and out of the pool. He wraps a towel around her as she steps out, and she thanks him. She kisses him and then follows him to the chairs. He sits down first and motions for her to sit with him. She looks at him with amusement before sitting on his lap.
"Just a few more hours until we get to watch the show."
"Cool. I can't wait to see it."
"Of course my part is the 2nd half of the show. Save the best for last."
"Oh of course." She laughs.
"It'll be worth the wait, I know it." She adds.
Mike grins and kisses her.
"Of course."
"Wish I could've been there for it."
"I know."
"Oh well. At least I get to watch it with you."
"Right."
"I think before that comes on, I'll be taking a shower or bath. I'll need to get the chlorine out of my hair."
"Good idea."
"Speaking of hair...I need to get a haircut."
"Awww, but I like your hair."
"I haven't had a haircut in a while. Plus haven't you noticed my hair is thicker than normal?"
"Yeah I have noticed that."
"Its from being pregnant. Not as much hair falls out when you're pregnant so your hair is thicker."
"Ohh."
"I need to get it thinned out some and get it trimmed. I won't cut it too much, I promise."
"Because I love it."
"I know you do."
She and Mike stay down at the pool for about another hour, before deciding to head back up to the room so that she could have enough time to take a shower or bath and then relax until the show comes on. She stands in the bathroom, trying to decide what to take.
"Hmm..." She chews her lips and twists some of her hair around her finger.
"What do you think Mike? Shower or bath?"
"It depends on how quick you want to be." He replies as he leans against the door frame.
"Well there's plenty of time."
"Right, so take the bath if you want."
"Planning on joining me?" She asks teasingly.
"Tempting, but maybe next time."
"Aw." She pouts.
"You just go and relax."
"But..."
"It's okay, you need all the relaxing you can get."
She pouts more and sticks her bottom lip out.
"Pleeeease?" She adds.
"I want you to..." She whines.
"Well I guess I could..."
"Please. I like having baths with you."
"Okay, I'll join you."
She lets out a short squeal of happiness and kisses him hard.
"Let's gooooo." She says after pulling away.
Mike chuckles and starts the water. She hops up on the counter and waits for the tub to fill. Once it was filled up, he shuts the water off and she hops off the counter. They underss and get in. They relax for a bit before washing up, helping each other. They spend as much time as they wanted to in there, and it was about an hour later when they had decided to get out. They wrap themselves in towels and go out into the room to get dressed.
"You can pick what I wear if you want." She tells Mike.
"You know I would love to."
"Have at it Lover Boy." She giggles.
He grins before going over to the bag of things that he had picked out and bought earlier in the day. He pulls something out and brings it to her. She smiles and puts it on.
"You would pick something like this."
"But of course." Mike's grin getting wider.
"Maybe I should pick things out more often." He chuckles.
"Maybe." She giggles.
Then he gets dressed after she does and they both climb onto the bed to relax and wait for the show to come on. She snuggles into him, sighing in content.
"The day just flew on by."
"Yeah it did."
"And we're just in time to see my part of the episode." He says once he turns the tv on to see the first half of the show ending, and then a preview on what's going to happen coming up next.
The preview includes what the hater has to say about Mike, Mike and him getting into what seems like will be a fight, and making the hater get a haircut.
"You made him cut his hair? Oh my god." Aly laughs.
"What? He looked like a dweeb before."
She just laughs.
After the commercial break Mike's part of the episode begins. He's in the car with Mario Lopez and Mario gives him the proper introduction of course.
"You look good." Aly smiles.
"Of course I do, I always do."
"Yes I know."
"This may be a silly question, but have you ever met a hater?" Mario asks.
"Are you kidding me? I'm in the WWE, I'm hated by thousands live, each and every week. They will literally go on a tangent for five minutes about everything they can't stand about me. The way I dress, the way I walk, the way I talk, they think I'm annoying, they think I'm pompous, they think I talk about myself...which I do."
Aly giggles.
"Modest much?" She adds.
"Never." He snickers.
"What's your biggest concern about meeting a hater?"
"Sometimes I feel that with the WWE, they can't differentiate The Miz from Mike. I mean Mike, this is me, I'm a normal guy, average every day you know? I have a wife and a baby on the way. And it sucks when you're going through an airport, you know just trying to get through the day, and literally someone yells 'you suck!'."
"Aww." Aly pats Mike's leg.
"I think people don't understand that in the WWE, I play a role. I play a role of the bad guy. But they don't get to know Mike, so I feel like this is a great opportunity for people to actually see Mike come out, Mike shine through."
"Alright Miz, here's the deal. Your hater Michael has no idea I'm gonna show this to you. He thought he was auditoning for a reality show about wrestling and we asked him about you."
"A hater named Michael, how ironic."
"Oh I know right?" Mike laughs.
"You ready to meet your hater?"
"Yes I'm ready to meet my hater. Let's go."
"I don't like The Miz because he's a self-centered, little prissy-boy jerk. The Miz thinks he's a badass wrestler, he's calling himself the best wrestler in the WWE, no I don't think so. He's just not that great, makes me sick to my stomach, he's a douchebag of the highest caliber. He thought he could get famous by going on all these reality TV shows. It worked, but that doesn't mean you're not a little whiny, bitch Miz."
"Oh he did not." Aly says, raising her eyebrows.
"Oh yes he did."
"When you're hearing people say this stuff, do you get more frustrated, get bothered, is it like...laugh it off?"
"All my life I was told you can't do something. Whether it was sports, when I tried out for the Real World, people told me I couldn't do that. When I told them I wanted to be a WWE Superstar...you can't do that. So it drove me to basically say, I wanna do this and I can do this...and I did it."
Aly smiles and kisses Mike's jaw.
"How do you deal with haters when you've met them before?"
"Every single hater is absolutely different, so you never know what to expect, what they're gonna say, but I just go off their feeling and try to understand where they're coming from."
"Alright Miz, here's the deal. We're sitting outside the sports bar right here, we have cameras hidden inside so we can see our accomplice Eric, and your hater Michael. You're gonna meet a friend of Eric's, and he's really an actor and his name is Dave. Your hater Michael thinks Dave hooked him up with passes to a WWE Fan Appreciation Day. But what he doesn't know is that we've faked the entire event with an announcer, extras and everyone's in on it. So let's go inside the control room, listen to what he has to say about you, and when the time is right, you're gonna go in and confront him."
"This should be interesting."
"It is." Mike says.
Mike then notices her eyes intently focused on his image on the screen.
"You like don't you?"
"Love." She replies absentmindedly.
Mario and Mike walk into the control room while the 'fake' fan appreciation begins with the announcer and everything.
"What do you love so much about the WWE?"
"The action, the drama, the excitement. It's bigger, it's badder, it's wrestling baby."
"This guy has no idea what's gonna hit him." Mike says amusedly.
"But are there any WWE Superstars that you...hate?"
"The Miz...Mike The Miz. Why are you in the WWE Miz? You're just a reality superstar, that got carried away...get out of here Miz!"
"Oh this is going to be so much fun." Mike comments.
"You are a coward. You're a little pretty-polly-prissy...pants coward." The hater says, the word between prissy and pants being bleeped out.
Mario just cracks up laughing and the look on Mike's face is just priceless.
"Nu-uh. He didn't!" Aly says in surprise.
"But he did." Mike replies.
"Not cool."
"Alright, you know how to handle this guy? You know what you gotta do? Really lay it on thick okay? Give him The Miz that he thinks he knows...go ahead buddy, good luck."
"I want some specifics now. Here's what I want to do, I wanna hear some specifics...what you hate about the Miz."
"What I hate about The Miz, he got on TV and he said...hey, I'm gonna be a star. He didn't do it with the talent, he didn't do it with the hard work, he did it with...the TV. That's it...he's all talk and no smack." The hater Michael says while Mike is standing right behind him with that not so pleased look on his face.
Aly starts giggling.
"All talk and no smack? Say where are you Miz."
"Where are you Miz?"
"Louder."
"Where are you Miz?"
"Louder!"
"Where are you Miz?"
Mike taps his shoulder as he says that and when he turns around he freaks out, but Mike keeps the straight face.
"Aha, he was so not expecting that." Aly laughs.
"That was the whole point." Mike chuckles.
"It's funny."
"You think this is funny? Why don't you say it to my face?"
"..I'm saying it to your face."
"Good...say it to my face."
"...I don't like you Miz. I don't think you're cool, I think you're a little bit of a coward, and uh..."
"Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh. Are you gonna stutter? Is that what you're gonna do? You gonna get a little nervous huh? Telling me that I'm not a star? I'm the biggest star the WWE has ever had, and ever will have. I'm the talent, I am number one, I am the best superstar in the WWE and I could care less what you and everybody else here thinks of me! I'm sick of hearing people say, oh the Miz isn't that talented, the Miz is this, the Miz is that. I am talent! I make people! I made Alex Riley, I made Daniel Bryan, I made John Cena, I made every single person. I make people famous!What you wanna say something? Say something...say it."
That's when the hater goes after Mike and it looks like they're going to get into a little fight, before breaking for a commercial, but not before showing what's coming up., which includes the haircut.
"You're such a goof." She giggles.
"I know." He grins.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
After the commercial break, they do a quick replay of what happened before with the almost fight breaking out, but then we see that Mike gets him in some kind of headlock and prevents him from hurting him at all. The 'fake' announcer and that actor guy come over and break them apart and that's when Mario comes into the room.
"First of all I have to shake your hand for having the courage to attack my man right here. You are the real deal and you're also on a hidden camera show called H8R, and this entire event is set up for you. Because you my friend are clearly a hater of The Miz. But my man was laying it on extra thick today in the Miz role that he portrays. Because really, he's Mike and Mike wants to show you that he's a normal, great guy. So would you be open to spending a little time with him? I set up something really cool, hang out and then afterwards you can decide for yourself, man to man whether you still feel the same about him. Is that cool?"
"Alright. I accept it."
"Cool with you Mike?"
"I accept it." Mike says himself and then he and his hater shakes hands.
"He definitely has guts, that's for sure. Going after you like that." Aly says to Mike.
"Yead definitely surprised me, but I took care of it."
"I saw."
"Getting in the Miz's face felt awesome. Even though I was a little scared for my life at times, it felt really good to get in there and really give it to the guy who's been giving me all this grief in being a WWE fan."
"Alright gentlemen to your corners, we don't need-"
"You got way lucky by the way. Lucky this is a TV show...I swear to god...swear." Mike says, amusedly.
Mike and his hater get into the car to spend time together and get to know each other.
"I'm not particularly looking forward to spending time with The Miz. He wants us to hang out and try to be buddies. And so I guess we're gonna go chill for a bit, and see if he can try to get on my good side."
"What do you do right now?"
"I'm just selling stuff. Musical instruments."
"You play music? What do you play?"
"The guitar."
"I actually play the guitar as well, but I'm terrible at it. I literally have a travel guitar that I travel with 'cause we're on the road all the time. What do you like to play?"
"I play country."
"You play country?"
"I play country..uh huh. I'm a singer/songwriter, that's what I wanna do you know be a country star."
"You basically want to be a country singer."
"That's the dream."
"Have you done anything to try and become a country singer?"
"I've done the uh...American Idol thing."
"You did American Idol? What you tried out for American Idol? I must say, you are ballsy."
Aly laughs lightly.
"Today my game plan with this kid is to make him over, and literally make him walk, talk and act like a somebody. Make him feel what it's like to be me. Welcome to Bolt. I'm gonna get him a haircut, I'm gonna get him a change of clothes. The kid may have confidence on the inside, but on the outside he looks like a dweeb."
"You're so nice babe." She laughs.
"Well it's true." He chuckles.
He kisses her head as they continue watching.
"So the Miz brought me to this barber shop in downtown LA, and said that I needed a new style to go and be successful. Did you cut your hair?"
"No actually I didn't. I had uh...Mohawk Matt do it."
"Really? Now I'm having reservations. I was thinking do I or don't I put my fate in the hands of Matt. Okay, we'll see what he can do with this."
Then the haircutting begins, and a lot of hair is coming off.
"It's looking pretty good." Mike comments.
"It doesn't look like yours does it?"
"No, I don't think so."
"Yes it does." Aly snickers.
"Alright, good."
"Do you hate me because I'm a WWE Superstar and because of the persona that I portray on TV, or do you hate me as a person?"
"I hated you overall as both the persona and a person. You're very full of yourself, you're vain, your face and your voice..."
"How rude." Aly scoffs.
"It's not even something I can help either." Mike says amusedly.
"I guess I'm just a hater today."
Once the haircut was all set, he was turned around so that he could look at it.
"Wow, this is a complete re-adjustment. I'm not not happy with this."
"I'm not one to brag about these sort of things, but if you look at the haircut...exactly like mine." Mike starts to say, before lowering his voice to a whisper.
Aly laughs again and Mike snickers.
"It doesn't look like me."
"Hah, I don't look like you."
"No you don't look like me."
"Thank goodness."
"The ultimate form of revenge of a guy that hates me...is to make him look exactly like me."
"Did this...this is all great, grand, wonderful, we're getting there. This is next, so we're going to give you a whole new wardrobe."
Michael soon comes out from changing into something different, and he walks out in a suit, something that Mike would wear.
"Duuude. You gotta look...you gotta feel good right now."
"I'm surprised myself because it's pink, but...I actually like this."
"Real men wear pink." Aly remarks.
Aly grins up at Mike.
"That's right." He grins back.
She kisses him before turning back to the TV.
"I told him I didn't want pink, but I ended up in this little number. And it doesn't look bad, it looks pretty good...looking sharp today."
"Feel good, you like it? He made fun of my hair, he made fun of my suit, and then all of a sudden when he's wearing it, he all of a sudden likes it. Puppet Master's in effect kids."
"I love it. I love it, let's get out of here. I got one more thing for you, you ready?"
"The Miz's advice on how to succeed first was the look. You have to look the part and you have to look successful or people won't take you seriously. And it's good advice...from the Miz."
"So you changed on the outside, how about on the inside?" How do you feel about yourself?"
"I feel good. I feel a little more confident. This suit is making me stand up a little straighter."
"Doesn't it? It's one of those things like uh...if you feel more confident, then you feel better about yourself. Then I think all will go well. I can sit there and tell you, oh need to do this, you need to do that. But it's all in the matter of what you believe in yourself. You know what I mean? Have you ever been hated? To know what it's like to be on the other end of it?"
"No I can't say that I have."
"You've never been hated? You've always been loved your entire life. Everyone has just loved...oh there's Michael, we love him."
"I can't think of anyone off the top of my head that's hated me."
"Now who's the cocky one? Now who's the cocky...you're telling me no one's ever hated you before. Let's face it...you got the hair, you got the suit and you're getting to be a little cocky."
"Who does that remind us of hmm?" Aly giggles.
"I know." Mike laughs.
"I don't make enemies."
"Everybody has a little Miz in them...everybody. Sorry Michael even you do."
"I'm gonna give you an opportunity to put on a concert for a bunch of my friends. Not only are you gonna look the part, but you're gonna be on national TV playing one of your original songs if you could for everyone here. Are you up for it?"
"Wow I was absolutely not ready for this at all."
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce Michael, he's going to play an original song."
He starts to play the guitar that was handed to him and he sings.
"Let's face it, Michael has a nice haircut, he looks great, you can tell he feels great. He's a completely different person than when he first started. I think he's starting to gain a little trust in me...I think he likes me."
"He's good." Aly remarks.
Soon he slows down the playing to a stop and stops the singing, everyone cheering.
"Yeahhhh. Woooooo!" Mike exclaims.
Then this girl comes up to Michael and kisses him out of nowhere.
"Are you kidding me? Do you know her?"
"I do not."
"Well you know her now."
"Wow." Aly laughs.
"Alright, I have one final question...very serious question. Do you still hate me?"
"Today, we did a lot of stuff. I lost a bit more hair than I thought I was going to. You've done a lot of things for me and I thank you for that, that's great. And I do feel like I did get to know Mike Mizanin a little bit. Turns out we have a few things in common."
"So you got some insight into me that you didn't have before."
"Right."
"Okay."
"But...there's still The Miz. And...The Miz is still a cocky son of a bitch, and I still hate The Miz."
Aly rolls her eyes and shakes her head.
"Haters gonna hate."
"Yeah."
"You still hate me. But you look good. It's okay, you'll enjoy being hated one day, I promise you."
There was one more little snip of Michael talking about him being a hater, before the show had ended.
"That was fun." Aly smiles.
"It was fun to film."
"I bet."
"Be sure to let me know if you're gonna be on any more shows that I don't know about, that you've already made." She adds.
"I will."
"Wanna just relax and watch tv until we fall asleep?"
"Sure."
She and Mike settle down in their spots and get comfortable. He reaches over and turns off the light before getting comfortable, and she snuggles into him.
"Mmm. Love you." She murmurs.
"Love you too."
He rubs her back and stomach. The rubbing of her back as always, starts to make her tired. She snuggles in even more and drifts off. He kisses the top of her head and drifts off himself shortly after. In my room, Alex and I are getting in bed after changing into pajamas.
"You just had too much fun listening to Bear today."
"What can I say, its the best sound ever." Alex smiles.
"Of course it is." I smile as well.
"Its too bad that Baby Love didn't cooperate though."
"I know, I wish we could've found out what Bear is."
"We just have to wait 4 weeks for my next appointment and hopefully we can find out then." I add.
"Well let's just hope those 4 weeks will go by fast."
"I hope so."
"Alright, I think we should get to sleep. You do have a long day tomorrow with Superstars and everything."
"Right. Night love." He kisses my head.
"Love you too, night."
