It's back to Monday again and well this time we're not gonna be inside the building at Raw. All of us who walked out refuse to go back in the building and work as long as Hunter is still there. So we all got together and agreed on a Solidarity Rally in the back parking lot...basically protesting Hunter still being in charge since he refuses to step down as C.O.O. We're getting ready in our hotel rooms, except for Mike since he still hasn't gotten his job back so he can't join us.
I'm in the bathroom, putting the finishing touches on my hair and makeup when the door is pushes open a bit. Alex pokes his head in and smiles.
"Hi." I say, glancing at him in the mirror.
"Hi beautiful."
"Couldn't resist coming in here huh?" i giggle as I put everything away.
"Nope."
"Goof."
"Your goof."
"That's right, my goof." I reply, walking over and opening the door all the way and walking out of the bathroom.
I walk right into Alex's arms and he kisses my cheeks.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
He rubs my stomach gently.
"Baby Love too."
"Bear loves you too."
Alex smiles and so do I .
"Just let me grab what I need before we go out into the hall and wait for Aly."
"Alright."
I go to walk away, but he doesn't let me go.
"Alex...let go."
"Noooo."
I start to walk and he walks with me as his arms are still around me.
"Clingy."
"Maybe."
"Maybe?"
"Okay I am."
"That's what I thought."
I'm able to grab what I need, but he still has his arms around me.
"You're gonna have to let me go so we can leave."
"Aww."
"You can cuddle more in a bit."
"Remember we have that Rally so you can be cuddly there." I add.
"Right. Okay, let's go."
He lets me go and we head out into the hall to wait for Aly. Meanwhile in Aly and Mike's room, she's trying to pick out a shirt to wear, rummaging through everything.
"Need help?" Mike asks.
"Yeah, maybe."
He goes over and helps her go through her things for a shirt to wear. He comes across a creamy white, one shouldered top with ruffles on the one strap.
"Ooh that. I like that." She reaches for it.
"I do too." He grins, handing it to her.
She pulls it on and tugs it down over her belly.
"I really like that." He grins even more.
"No attacking me." She points at him.
"Awww."
"I've had enough marks."
"True..."
"I don't want to be late either."
"Right, don't want that."
"No. And I didn't say you can't kiss or touch, just no marks and control yourself a bit."
"But you know me, it takes a while for me to stop and like you said, you don't want to be late."
"True. I have to do my hair and makeup anyway. Sorry Lover Boy." She pats his cheek and puts on a pair of shoes before going into the bathroom.
"It's okay, just as long as I get a kiss before you leave, I'll be good."
"I wouldn't leave without one."
"Oh of course."
She does her hair and makeup, smiling as she sees Mike in the mirror.
"I'm gonna miss you while you're gone again."
"I know. I'll miss you too."
"But you know you can always call me." She adds.
"I know."
"Good."
She finishes and turns to Mike, posing.
"Well?"
"Amazing."
"I'm glad you think so."
"I always do."
"I know."
"Always will too."
She smiles and kisses him lightly, gently moving him so she can go get her jacket and her purse.
"Don't miss me too much." She says once she grabs everything and turns around.
"I'll try not to."
"Same goes for Savvy too."
"Her too."
Then he wraps his arms around her and pulls her as close as she can get, before leaning down and capturing her lips.
"Mmm...love you." She murmurs as he slowly pulls away.
"I love you too."
"And you." He adds, crouching down to kiss her stomach.
"She loves you too."
"I know she does." Mike smiles.
"So I'll see you both later then."
"Mmhmm." She nods as he stands back up.
She gives him a hug the best she can before she has to leave. She leaves him with a short but lingering kiss and she steps outside to find me and Alex waiting.
"Hey."
"Hey, all set?"
"Mmhmm." She nods.
We all head into the elevator and go down to the lobby, walking out to the car and then heading to the arena.
"This could be crazy." Aly comments as we get there.
"I don't know, looks like it's just a party with food and everything to me."
"I meant figuratively."
"Oh yeah, right."
"Could be fun." She looks amused.
"Yeah, true.."
Alex parks the car and we all start to get out.
"Ugh, I see Dorito."
"Ew." Aly wrinkles her nose.
"But wait...there's Nattie and Beth."
"Yay." She smiles.
"Oh Nattie..." I sing, loud enough so she could hear me.
Nattie looks around in confusion until she sees us. She smiles and motions for us to come over and sit with her and Beth. We head over.
"Hey Nat. Hi Beth."
"Hey." they both greet us.
We sit down and Aly rubs her stomach absentmindedly.
"Well this is certainly interesting." She remarks.
"It is." They agree.
She glances around while I talk with them. Aly sees almost everyone who had walked out on Hunter. Unfortunately, Dorito and his little sidekick are sitting across from us by the buses.
"Shithead." She grumbles under her breath.
But that's when she spots Zack with Charity around a bunch of others, talking amongst each other.
"I'll be back." She says to me.
"Alright." I nod.
She gets up and heads over to Zack and Charity to say hi. Of course to get Zack's attention she does what we always do.
"Woo woo woo."
"You know it." He says automatically, making her laugh.
"Heyyyy, haven't seen you in a while." He says, hugging her.
"I know." She hugs him back.
"Did you get bigger since the last time I saw you?"
"Probably. I keep growing so it's possible."
She pulls back and pats her stomach.
"She makes me hungry a lot so that could explain it."
"Ah, how is she doing by the way?"
"She's good."
"She's very active when she wants to be." She adds.
"I bet." Zack laughs.
"She's a kicker huh?" Charity asks.
"Like you wouldn't believe. It doesn't stop at kicking either, she's like a gymnast or something."
"Bet that feels weird."
"It is but I'm used to it. Just two and a half months and she'll finally be here." She smiles.
"Exciting." Charity smiles.
"Definitely." She nods.
"Awwww." Zack adds and Aly giggles.
"Mike is definitely eager."
"Oh I'm sure."
"He can't wait to be a family."
"Awwwwww that's sweet." Charity says this time.
"I know." She smiles.
"How's the wedding planning going? Almost done or do you still have a lot to do?" She asks.
"Almost done." Charity beams.
"Really? That's great."
"Yeah. We can't wait." Zack grins.
"I bet. We can't wait to go."
They both smile.
"I know it'll be a great day. A beautiful one too." Aly smiles as well.
She continues talking to them while I'm over talking with Beth and Nattie, talling them all about Bear and how I can feel flutters now which is Bear moving.
"Awww. That's great!" Nattie beams.
"You can actually feel the flutters from the outside."
"Wow, that has to be amazing." Beth says.
"Oh it is. Alex is all happy now."
"Aww." They laugh.
"He'll be even happier in a few more weeks when we find out what Bear is."
"Bear was stubborn at our last appointment, wouldn't let the doctor see in order to tell us." I add.
"Aww."
"Hopefully next appointment will be better."
Then of course I feel flutters, after Bear has been quiet and calm all day.
"Oh so now you move around." I say to my stomach.
"Ooooh, can we feel?" Nattie asks.
"Sure, go ahead."
Beth and Nattie both put their hands where I show them.
"That's amazing, bet it feels a little weird for you though right?"
"Yeah." I nod.
"I'll get used to it though, until Bear gets bigger and really starts moving."
"Right."
"But I think someone wants their daddy, that's why they're moving."
"Awww."
I know Alex isn't too far away from me, so I call for him.
"Oh daddy...I think someone wants you." I say loud enough for him to hear.
"Moving?" He asks, walking over.
"Yep...after being quiet and calm all day."
"Figures." Alex chuckles.
"But yeah, I think Bear wants you."
Alex pulls me up and sits down, tugging me to sit on his lap. His arms slide around me and his palms rest on my stomach. He rubs gently with both hands. Beth and Nattie look at each other and smile after watching him be all cute and everything with me. A while passes and soon it's time for the show. A tv is brought out so we all could see what was going on inside.
Aly walks back over and sits down, putting her hands on her belly.
"Someone wanted their daddy huh?" She grins, seeing me and Alex.
"Yup. Didn't move all day and Daddy moves away for a bit and boom, Bear moves." I giggle.
"Awww."
"That's cute. Attached to daddy already." Aly laughs lightly.
First a video package of what happened last Monday plays, about the walk out and everything. After that, there was no introduction because everyone was outside with us, so no commentary. The cameras go through backstage and it's basically empty besides backstage crew members. Hunter walks out of his office and looks around at the emptiness and just shakes his head with a smile, before heading to the ring. The crowd of course is chanting his name as he walks through the curtained area, and then they play his music and he goes out to the ring.
"I showed up...apparently all of you showed up. You know I stood in this ring a week ago bewildered...saw something I would've never thought I would ever see. 55...some superstars, a few camera guys, some techs, all of the referees, all of the announcers..."
"And you just forget about us...the women right?"
"Of course. Apparently we aren't important enough." Aly rolls her eyes.
"...and they all walked out. Never thought I'd see it, but they walked out of Monday Night Raw. Thing is, they didn't walk out on me...they walked out on all of you."
"Uh no...we walked out on YOU."
"The fans aren't the problem, they never were."
"And those...superstars now stand outside in the parking lot, holding some kind of solidarity rally. Apparently, the WWE and Raw has gotten too tough for them. And it's hard here, and they...they just can't do it anymore." Hunter mocks everyone in a fake crying voice.
"Ass." Aly shakes her head.
"So they're all standing outside and from what I understand, they all have their gear. They all have their wrestling gear, but not one of them is gonna step in this building to perform for you. Unless...unless I step down. If I am no longer running Monday Night Raw, they'll all come back. So what should I do?"
"Step down and leave."
"He won't."
"Should I...should I walk away? Should I quit? I don't know. Maybe I should...maybe I should just go you know? But here's the problem I have with that. Because...I've just never been a quitter, you know? It's just not in me, I..I..I can't...I can't do it. I just...I will not quit. And I will not be intimidated. I will not be coerced! I will not be blackmailed and I will not quit!"
"So what that means is, all you guys in the parking lot, you can pucker up real nice and kiss me where my cheeks meet. Because this is the way it goes..." He trails off, taking off his jacket.
"...I don't care if I got to take off this suit, strip down to my tighty whities, get a broomstick in this ring, I'll wrestle the broomstick for 2 hours. Hell, I've wrestled a lot of the guys in that parking lot, the broomstick will give me a better match than most of them. Come hell or high water, I am giving you Monday Night Raw, I am giving you a show tonight!"
Then as he takes his tie off, John's music plays and he comes out and down to the ring.
"There's a reason why I wasn't involved in the group's decision last week on Monday Night Raw. It's the same reason that I haven't addressed the press or the tens of millions of people on social media who wanna know where I stand on this issue...confidence or no confidence. And there's been a lot of people that said that 55 person walk out in the parking lot will be a lot stronger if one more man was added to that list. And ever since the second that Hell in a Cell ended and I was brutally attacked...the second I pulled up to the building this morning, each one of those 55 personel from Superstars to cameramen to audio guys, has contacted me personally and asked me to join them.
"But of course he won't."
"And I know one thing, he has that count wrong. I never called him." Aly shakes her head.
"Well I think he's trying to make a point, I'm sure not everyone called him."
"I guess."
"You never even sent me as much as a text message asking me to stay."
"Show you how much he cares about top talent."
"Which is not at all. Gee, isn't that something. Doesn't really care about the Divas, including the pregnant ones, and doesn't care about the rest of the roster either."
"They want me out in that parking lot because they believe their boss is too focused on himself...doesn't see what's going on around him. They believe their boss is egomaniacal, self-centered and power hungry. Those are good points, those are good points. But a lot of those gentlemen and ladies sitting out in that parking lot, you're their first boss. I've been here for a while, so I ran down a list of my bosses. I worked for Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff...those are two of the most humble guys on the planet." John says that last part sarcastically.
"I've worked for Vickie Guerrero...I've worked for 56 celebrity general managers ranging from Shaquille O'Neal to Al Sharpton. I've been told what to do by an anonymous computer who's the general manager of Raw. And I managed to even make it through the Mike Adamle, now THAT was an unsafe work workplace. You know...you were there. So I'm not out here tonight to tell you you're my best friend...I'm here to tell you you're my boss I'm staying."
"Shocker." Aly says sarcastically.
"And I'm staying because I love Raw, I don't care who's in charge. I am staying because I love the unsafe workplace...it is the chaos that makes us all tune in every week. I am staying because the word Loyalty on my sleeve is not a word, it's a principle. And my loyalty does not lie out in a parking lot, it does not lie behind a suit and tie, it lies in your living room and it lies with each and every one of you right here. Whether you love me or hate me, hell or high water, John Cena stays on Monday Night Raw!"
John shakes hands with Hunter and then Sheamus walks out.
"Okay John was predictable...but Sheamus?"
"He's been a goodie lately." Aly shrugs, amusing herself with sending texts to Mike and playing games.
"What's the crack Hunter? You know, as of two years ago, when you're giving a heartfelt speech about your best friend on the stage, I come out and attacked you from behind and hit you in the skull with a lead pipe. So the thing is, I was trying to make a name for myself by taking you out. And if anyone had any right to complain or take legal action, it'd be you. But you didn't do that fella' did ya'? Instead you recovered, came back like a man, and I'm not ashamed to say...gave me the biggest arse kicking of my entire life. Now as you and me know, today that result would be very different. But the one thing is fella', I'm not ashamed to say I have a lot of respect for you...for doing that."
"Of course."
"And the last couple of months I've tried to adhere to the same set of principles that you showed. That's why tonight...I'm not gonna...be backstage in some parking lot shenanigans. You see I didn't travel thousands of miles, leave my family, leave friends...everything behind me to come back and sit out there with all of those losers."
"Excuse you?"
"Whatever Whitey." Aly rolls her eyes.
"I came here to be part of Monday Night Raw!"
Then while they shake hands, Punk comes out.
"You'd think he'd be one of us and not stay."
"He's weird." Aly shrugs.
"I can't help but feel a little bit respo-...well who am I kidding? I feel like I started this whole thing...this is all my fault. I've been at the epicenter of anything controversial, ever since you took over...actually since before that...I'm sure you remember John boy."
"I was there."
"You were there. I'm the guy who made walking out look cool. The thing about it is, I think everybody in the parking lot having a picnic right now completely misunderstood what I was trying to do. See I didn't break my contract, I didn't break my word. My contract expired and I was trying to prove a point to an entire company, not just one man. If anybody has any reason to walk out of the WWE, well you can probably put me at the top of that list, I mean my microphone constantly cuts out. You friend Kevin Nash runs through-...well slowly, briskly runs through the crowd and jumps me and screws me not once, but twice. Somebody here doesn't want me to be the WWE Champion."
"I think that's a lot of people."
"The thing about it is, this entire industry is based on men solving their problems in between these ropes. This is the company that gives you Hell in the Cell, this is the company that gives you the Elimination Chamber, I don't want to sound like a broken record but unsafe working enviornment? I thrive on that. Hell this is professional wrestling, this ain't ballet. If you believe in something, you stand and you fight. And you fight on the front line. You don't have a hippie sit in and grill tofu dogs in the parking lot like a bunch of hippies. When I had a problem with you and your authority, I dealt with you personally. And you, you big boy scout, when I had a problem with you being the poster boy of this company, I dealt with you personally. Sheamo...I'm sure sooner or later you're gonna step on my toes, I'll deal with you personally. And I know you three smiley good guys look across the ring from me and I'm the last guy you expect to see here, and I know I'm the last guy you expect to see in the foxhole with you. But you know what, here I am. So...so, I got a question. What do we do now?"
"What do we do now...that's a big question huh? What do we do now? I say...we do...what we do on Monday Night Raw...we shut up and fight. How about this...as long as you guys are in an agreement, Sheamus...you got yourself a match fella'. Tonight, right here right now you will go one on one with one John Cena. And since I'm the only guy kind of wearing stripes out here, I'll referee. And foxhole buddy...I've got a whole table over there lined up with headphones and pipe bombs, just waiting for you with your name on it. And if you want, you can go over there and say anything you feel like."
Aly laughs a bit.
"Wait you want me to do commentary?"
"I want you to do commentary."
"Can I wear your blazer?"
"You can even wear my blazer."
"I'm in!"
Aly laughs again, shaking her head.
Punk goes over and grabs Hunter's blazer and puts that on, getting all ready for the match.
"Uh...one last thing...when you get down there, I'm gonna need you to do double duty. Not only are you gonna do commentary, if you wouldn't mind...please ring the bell. Double pay."
Punk gets out of the ring and goes over to the bell, and the crowd helps him, telling him he rings it twice. He does so once Hunter tells him to ring the bell and he goes over to commentary.
"...don't screw it up they say. How nice are the fans here, don't screw it up. Here we are ladies and gentlemen live, Oklahoma City. We're on Monday Night Raw. Don't adjust your TV sets, I am the sole commentator..I'm like Bob Uecker. That is right ladies and gentlemen, Sheamus vs John Cena here on Raw with Triple H as your special guest referee. I'm CM Punk, I'm your commentator, I'm your-...god I guess i'm your ring announcer and your bell keeper too...timekeeper, I'm everything. I wear a lot of hats here. And ladies and gentlemen, we'll be right back as the action continue live on Monday Night Raw! Who's gonna win?" Punk says before going to a commercial.
"Dude, there is no way people are gonna stay interested with just them all night."
"No."
"And we're live back on Monday Night Raw ladies and gentlemen, don't adjust your TV sets...Sheamus with a great reversal of John Cena's AA. He hooks the far leg...Triple H your referee...right there for the two count, just saying that it's two. I suppose I have to go ring the bell if somebody wins. You have entered bizarro world, I am CM Punk, I am you commentator as Sheamus goes for another cover. Trying to win's the name of the game here."
And that's the last thing that Punk could say before we hear Vince's music. We all watch the screen intently, waiting to see what's going to happen.
"...really I apologize for breaking up your match. I apologize, I got here as quick as I could. Not upstanding the integrity of the performers, Punk as well I...I'd like to have a word with my...my son-in-law if you don't mind...Triple H. Gentlemen can we have the ring, I really would appreciate it. Thank you...nonetheless thank you for standing up in what you believe in as well. Thanks John, Sheamus, Punk...thanks for showing up here tonight. Standing up for what you believe in, which is an admirable quality...whether you're right or wrong. Even those on the outside of the arena are standing up in what they believe in. People in the park outside are mostly standing up for what they believe in, and by god you're standing up for what you believe in. Let me just say that...I believe in you. I believe in your management style, I've got to tell you sitting at home watching Raw is a hoot more than ever. I enjoy the wild west shoot em' up bang bang, whatever it is you wanna call it. You're raising hell and I like it."
"Unfortunately there are those who don't. And among them would be the 50 some individuals on the outside of the arena. They have their sympathizers, apparently none of whom are here in Oklahoma City. Among those sympathizers would...I would like to state would be uh...the board of directors. I met with them late this afternoon."
"Oh not this again."
"And their responsibility is the financial well being of the WWE, above and beyond anything else...that's what they're responsible for. As a result of that, they're concerned that this walk out if you would, may get way out of control, spiral out of control that they don't know where this is going and I don't think any of us really know where it's going. And it could very well be cancellation of live events, pay-per-view, I mean...there could be no Wrestlemania if this thing really got out of control."
"There could be no Monday Night Raw if this thing really got out of control. So they're concerned that...if it does get out of control, the result could be a...financial catastrophe. They're not willing to take that chance. Even though it was overruled, I felt it was my duties to come here and personally tell you...on behalf of the board of directors, your services of Monday Night Raw are no longer required."
"Gee...wasn't that obvious?"
But as soon as that was said, everyone around us was cheering and everything.
"Ooh." Aly mumbles, putting her hand over a spot on her belly.
"Noise scared her didn't it?"
"Maybe. Sometimes she randomly kicks me."
"Ah, didn't hurt I hope."
"No, not really. I just wasn't expecting it."
"Ah, ok."
"Oh, no this is one of her 'I'm awake so I'm going to be busy in mommy's belly' phases." She remarks when the kicking continues.
"Awww."
She puts her phone away and focuses on enjoying Savannah's movements.
"Now I know this is...I know this is not gonna break your heart..I get that, you didn't ask for the job to begin with. And you're not gonna run Monday Night Raw, I'm not gonna run Monday Night Raw, no member of the McMahon family is going to run Monday Night Raw. Even though they appreciate and obviously our skills as C.O.O and want to continue with that. The board is looking for a general manager who's independent of all this. Someone who's unbiased, they're looking for a permanent general manager who's ethics and morals are beyond reproach. But until they find that individual, they've named an interim general manager. I don't like this decsion anymore than you're gonna like it. The interim general manager for Monday Night Raw is the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, John Laurinitis."
"Oh boy."
He comes out onto the stage to the crowd completely booing him. Hunter and him have a stare down while the crowd chants 'you suck'. There's more of a stare down before going to a commercial. That's when everything gets packed up and put away. We get off the chairs, me moving off Alex's lap and everyone loads everything onto the trucks and buses. They all grab their gear off the buses and get ready to head inside.
"How long does it usually take for her to calm down?" I ask about Savannah.
"It depends." She shrugs.
"Normally Mike would be able to calm her down no problem, but he's not here so...yeah."
"Right..."
Then soon we all head inside and that's when the show had started back up. Everyone was greeted as we walked in and then us three went and found the room we stay in each time. Aly sits and slips her shoes off, putting her legs up on the couch. Once she was all set and in a comfortable, Alex decides to come over because he wants to see Savannah moving. She laughs a bit.
"Crazy baby." She murmurs.
"Oh she's just being very active, that's all." He chuckles.
"That's putting it lightly."
"She's kicking and moving around. You'd think she was a gymnast or something."
"I know."
"Maybe you should try talking to her. She'll probaly do one of two things. Either calm down at least a little bit because she hears her uncle or she'll just be really happy and do everything she's doing now even more."
"Okay." Alex agrees and starts to talk to her stomach.
Upon hearing him talk to her, she does get happy and she kicks and moves around more.
"Okay so she's happy to hear you today."
"Oops." He chuckles.
"Its alright. I can deal."
"She just loves her uncle that's all." I say from the other couch.
"Apparently." She laughs.
"Well I love her too." He chuckles, coming back over to me.
"Awwwww."
"And I'm sure she heard me say that too."
"Yup, because she kicked me after that."
"Awww."
She smiles and rubs her stomach.
"I hope these next few weeks go by fast, I wanna find out what we're having exactly."
"I bet its driving you crazy."
"It is...Bear wouldn't cooperate last Wednesday...disappointing really."
"Aww."
"But I think we'll make it until the next appointment."
"Right."
"I can try at least." Alex adds.
Aly and I laugh.
"You're just excited that's all."
"Perfectly normal." Aly smiles.
"And how funny, Savannah starts moving and Bear stops." I point out.
"Yeah." Aly giggles.
By the time we even started paying attention to the screen, the match that was going on had ended. The group of whiners, only consisting of Cody, Dolph, Swagger, Vickie and Christian had ganged up on Morrison.
"Hmph, good. He deserves it."
"You know what I heard? His contract is expiring and he may not re-sign."
Once they're all out of the ring, Mark Henry comes out for his match against Randy that we saw not too long ago being made, before going to a commercial.
"Oh like that match isn't predicatble."
"Boring." Aly shakes her head.
After the commercial break, Laurinitis was on the phone talking to what sounded like his wife because he did say 'honey' and told her that he had to go when Hunter walked into the room all pissed off.
"Hunter, I know what you must be thinking okay? I can't believe it, I don't want the job. You heard Mr. McMahon, the board appointed me. Much like they appointed you. They know that if there's an issue they're gonna step up their challenge. I'm as loyal as they come. I'm willing to make sacrifices for the WWE. The WWE Universe and the WWE talent. I mean Hunter, it's in my blood, I love the WWE."
"Have you ever tried to pick up your teeth with a bunch of broken fingers?" Hunter says before leaving and we're back at the ring where Merk Henry starts chatting away.
"Ugh, shut up."
"Nobody wants to hear you." Aly adds.
He finally shut up, and Randy came out. The match didn't really last that long, and it looked like Randy was gonna beat Mark, but Cody had come out and brutally attacked Randy, even though he cost Mark the match. But Randy turned the tables and got him back, going for the RKO only to be pushed into a World's Strongest Slam...not once but twice by Mark Henry. Cody slides back into the ring once Mark leaves and delivers the Cross Rhodes and then one of his bag holder guys, brings a bag out and Cody puts the bag over Randy's head.
"Cut the head off the viper, and all the venom goes with it. Randy Orton humiliated! Would you like a receipt with your paper bag?" Cody says before laughing, and laughing quite evilly.
"Uh...creepy, evil laugh much? That's disturbing."
"Uh...yeah..."
"Maybe we'll stay away from him for a while."
"Yeah."
Then I feel a craving coming on so I grab my bag and dig through it, pulling out the chocolate I had in there.
"Want some?" I offer her.
"Ooh, yes. You know me and chocolate lately."
"Oh yes." I snicker, getting up and walking over to her and give her some.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." I reply, before going back over and sitting down in my spot.
She eats while rubbing on her belly. After the commercial break, the match between Kelly and Eve against Beth and Nattie, with Kelly going all crazy was shown. Then she and Eve were in the ring ready for their match, with Tamina and Rosa also in the ring.
"You know Kelly did try apologizing to me during last week for slapping me."
"Yeah?"
"I want to forgive her and all but I don't know. Ever since she's been hanging with Eve her attitude has changed you know?"
"Yeah."
"You don't just go around slapping people because you're mad at someone else."
"It's not right."
"Which is why I don't want you out there for anymore matches besides my own." Alex interjects.
"I'm not trying to be mean and control you. I just want you and our child to be safe." He adds, looking into my eyes.
"I know, I understand."
"So you'll do it?"
"Yeah I'll do it." I nod.
"Thank you." Alex kisses my head.
"Anything for you."
I snuggle into him and he rubs my stomach. Being distracted for that some time while we were talking, we caught the middle of the match and it ended awfully quickly however. And of course Eve had gotten the win over Tamina.
"That is not humanly possible." I shake my head.
Then Laurinitis comes out to the ring, allowing Kelly and Eve to leave and head back up the ramp before getting into the ring himself, with everyone booing.
"A little respect please. Bear with me as I'm a little nervous okay? You may not like me, but I have a job to do. First order of business as interim GM, at Vengeance Alberto Del Rio will defend his WWE Championship against John Cena."
"We all saw that coming."
"Yeah."
"Now you may not like me, because I have ethics, integrity and morals. And tonight I'm going to do the ethical thing and a moral thing. So JR, please take off your headset and come on in the ring. Let's hear it for good ol' JR."
He does what he's told, taking off the headset and getting in the ring, standing in front of Laurinitis.
"JR, last week on Raw you walked out on Triple H. Triple H gave you your job back. Not only did you walk out on Triple H, you walked out on the state of Oklahoma, and the WWE Universe. In my book JR that makes you an ingrate. A hay seed, redneck, Oklahoma ingrate. As Executive Vice President Of Talent Relations and the interim GM of Raw, JR...hehe...you're fired."
"Poor JR."
"Not right. And if I may say again...noooo he did not walk out on Oklahoma and the WWE Universe...it was just Hunter who he walked out on...just like us."
"Right."
Laurinitis leaves the ring and heads backstage, JR shakes Jerry's hand and leaves himself before going to another commercial with Cole celebrating.
"If anyone's an ingrate it's Cole."
"Yeah."
Coming back from the commercial what happened in the tag match involving Air Boom, Zack, Swagger, Mason and Ziggler was show. This leading to a match between Mason Ryan and Air Boom against Ziggler, Swagger and Otunga.
"Blehhh, Otunga being in the match makes it dull."
"Bleh."
"Wanna go to catering? I don't think that chocolate was enough to satisfy the craving." I ask.
"Yeah sure. I'm getting hungry anyways."
"I'm coming with you." Alex says.
"Alright."
"Of course, don't wanna leave you alone." I add.
"I want to keep an eye on both of you." He shrugs.
"Right, makes sense."
We all get up and head out towards catering. When we walk in we head over to the food, Aly and I picking out what we want when we see it.
"Mmm. Food."
"It all smells so good."
"Yeah it does." She agrees.
Once we have what we picked out, we head over to a table to eat.
"Mmmm, good." Aly mumbles."
"Oh yeah, I agree." I mumble too.
Alex chuckles and watches with amusement.
"Don't mind us, food just tastes like 10 times better to us."
"I noticed."
"I don't think you have any idea how it all tastes, the way it tastes to us."
"Probably not but I can tell its good for you two."
"Oh yeah." Aly nods.
"Definitely." I agree.
We take our time eating because we have like plenty of time until the match ends. When we do finally finish, we get up and throw our trash away, before heading back to the room. Alex and I walk with arms around each other's waists while Aly walks beside us, her hands resting on her stomach. We get back to the room during a commercial break, and Aly goes back over to the couch, kicking her shoes off and getting comfortable on the couch like before.
"Ah, much better." Aly says, stretching out.
"Did she finally stop moving around or no?"
"No. She slowed down some but hasn't stopped."
"Yeah."
After the commercial break however, it was time for the main event which was Punk vs Dorito.
"Ugh, I'm so sick of Dorito."
"I know right?"
"Annoying."
So he comes out first to the usual introduction and then Punk comes out. We didn't really pay much attention to the match until we hear Laurinitis' voice saying to stop the match.
"Oh great. What does he want now?"
"Stop this match. As general manager of Raw I'm ordering this match to stop right now. We will have a tag team match instead. With CM Punk and Alberto, competing...against two men I have re-instated."
"The Miz and R-Truth." He says after a long pause.
Aly's eyes go wide and she pushes herself up.
"Whoa what?" I say in shock myself.
"That little sneak!" Aly exclaims.
Mike walks out first, taking the mic from Laurinitis, and Truth walks out next as Laurinitis walks backstage and Truth's music hits.
"We're baaaaaack!" Mike exclaims as they walk down the ramp.
"We'd like to dedicate this to everyone who didn't believe. Reeemiiiixx!"
Then they get into that 'You Suck' song, before ending it and going to a commercial. Aly has a big smile on her face.
"Someone's really happy."
"I'm so glad he has his job again. Don't get me wrong, I loved having that time with him but I could tell he was itching to get back."
"Maybe now things will go back to normal."
"I hope so."
After the commercial the match had begun and it was Dorito and Truth in the ring. Del Rio kicks Mike off the apron a while later though.
"Hey, not cool."
"Stupid Dorito."
Truth starts beating up Del Rio, and then yells about little Jimmy, then tags Mike in. High knee from Mike, then he chokes Del Rio in the ropes. Mike telegraphs and is kicked hard for it. Drop kick to Mike on his hands and knees. Del Rio only gets the two count. He tags out but holds Mike for Punk to kick him. Punk stomps Mike down, followed by a Russian leg sweep to Mike for a two count. Mike fights back and tags out, but Truth eats a hip toss. A 'R-Truth sucks' chant breaks out and Del Rio tags in and lands a drop kick to Truth as Punk holds him still. Del Rio gets the two count again. Chin lock on Truth, but Del Rio suffers a jaw breaker.
Mike tags in and stomps his way around Del Rio and pins him for two. Del Rio fights back with a kick, then seemed to tweak his knee. He slaps Punk with two hands, then Ricardo helps drag him from ringside selling a knee injury, walking away and up the ramp, leaving Punk to fend for himself.
"Wimp."
It's Punk against Mike now and Punk runs the ropes and takes a cheap kick from Truth. Punk knocks Truth, but suffers a DDT for a two count. Truth tags in and is on Punk with punches. Chin lock on Punk, legs scissored around Punk's waist. Punk gets up, but gets hit by Truth. Mike tags in and they double team Punk. Mike pins him for two. Punk in his corner with kicks to the gut. The ref admonishes Mike as Truth chokes Punk in the corner. Punk comes back and kicks Mike's gut. Truth is on the apron and eats a clothesline from inside the ring as Punk also hits a running bulldog on Mike. Punk climbs to the top and is able to hit the elbow drop. He gets Mike on his shoulders for the GTS, but Truth comes in and they double team Punk. The ref calls for the bell, the match ending in a DQ and a win for Punk.
"Please don't let anything else happen to Mike." Aly mutters to herself.
They continue on attacking Punk, but then Hunter comes running down. He goes after Mike as Punk goes after Truth. Outside the ring, Hunter throws Mike into the stairs and then the barrier, through a bunch of camera men and staff. Punk sends Truth over the announce table and Truth quickly escapes through the crowd. Mike escapes up the ramp, while Hunter and Punk are in the ring, trying to look tough.
"I need to see him. Now." She swings her legs off the couch, shoving her feet into her shoes.
Then she gets up and heads out the door, going in the direction of where the curtained area is, knowing he'll come through soon. She waits there anxiously, twisting her rings. After a bit he turns the corner and walks in her direction. She immediately dashes to him, touching his cheek before hurriedly checking him over.
"I'm okay...just sore."
She sighs in relief, almost tearful and she sinks into his arms.
"You couldn't tell me you were coming back?"
"I wanted to surprise you. I was hoping for a better result though..."
"I'm just glad you're back period."
"Me too." He agrees, hugging her close.
"Somebody's missed you daddy." She says quietly, moving one of his hands to her stomach where there's still some movement from Savannah.
He smiles as he feels the slight movement.
"I missed her too."
She leans her head forward so it rests against his shoulder.
"I hope things can go back to normal now."
"I hope so too. Not that I haven't loved the extra time with you...but this is more our normal."
"Right."
"I hated leaving you behind while I went to the shows." She murmurs, resting a hand over his heart.
"I know."
"I missed you more than you know."
"And I missed you more than you know."
"How about we get out of here? I think either a massage or a soak in the tub would help you feel better."
"Of course."
"That sounds really good." He kisses her head.
"I thought so."
She moves and laces her fingers with his as they walk out to the trailer where he came from so that he can change. She reluctantly lets go of his hand to let him go change.
"You know you can come in if you want, it is a trailer afterall."
She bites her lip and nods, grabbing his hand again. He smiles, letting her walk up the stairs and holding the door open for her as she walks in first, he follows behind her. She sways her hips a bit more just to mess with him, giggling silently.
"Ohhhh, you don't want us to do things that we wouldn't do inside now do you?"
She just laughs.
"Because it'd be a very long night if we did."
She giggles hard.
"Probably wouldn't even make it back to the hotel, we'd sleep here."
She giggles at the thought.
"Looks like you're thinking about it." He smirks.
She blushes.
"Yup, you definitely are."
"Go get changed." She mutters, still blushing.
He just grins and kisses her before going to change. She waits, rubbing her stomach absentmindedly as usual. After a while he comes out of the bedroom changed into his regular clothes. She looks up and smiles.
"To the car I think. I'm sure Alex and Dolce will grab my purse."
"Alright. You know you could've come into that bedroom with me."
"Could have, sure. Didn't think it was a good idea."
"Well you missed out on the fun stuff." He chuckles.
"Fun stuff is better saved for our hotel room or our bedrooms at home. Besides, I could see you a bit anyway..the way the door is." She giggles.
Mike laughs and smirks.
"I knew I could sense you looking."
"Of course."
"Ready to go?" She asks.
"Yeah." He nods, and they leave.
Then they head to the car and since we left the car unlocked they go right in and wait for me and Alex. It isn't long before we show up. Since Mike was in the driver's seat, I take the keys out and hand them to him. Then we head off to the hotel. We arrive after a bit and go up to our floor, saying goodnight before splitting off into our rooms.
