It's now Sunday and we're back in LA just until tomorrow. Aly and I are up and dressed, while Alex and Mike are sleeping. We decided to hang outside and enjoy the warm air, and talk about things.
"I can't believe Halloween is tomorrow, and isn't there a party tonight?"
"Yeah, there is." She nods.
"We should go costume shopping."
"We could. I don't know if i'll find anything though."
"It's worth a shot, you never know."
"True."
"Should we invite the guys with us, or surprise them if we find anything?"
"Maybe a surprise? I think it'd be fun."
"Sounds good."
"Should we go now?"
"Yeah, let's go now."
She nods and we get up, going to get our purses and things. We also leave notes for the guys so that they don't worry when they wake up. Then we head out the door and go down to the car, heading off to the store.
"This should be an adventure." She sighs when we walk into the store.
"I'm sure you'll find something...even if we have to hit like every store there is."
"Okay."
"I'll help you find yours first."
"Alright, thanks." She smiles.
"You're welcome." I smile back and we start looking through the costumes.
We pick out a few that look like they will work. We go over to the dressing room so she can try them on. She walks out in a fairy costume.
"Ooooh."
"Its...okay. Not the most comfortable but it isn't horribly uncomfortable either." Aly remarks.
"Ah, next one then?"
"Yeah." She nods and goes to try a different one.
The next one she comes out in is a witch one.
"I don't know about this. Do I look fat?"
"Oh no not at all."
"I think I'm going pass. I don't like how it looks."
"Alright." I nod.
She goes in and puts on a greek goddess costume.
"Ooooh I like that." I say once she comes eout.
"I like this too. The material isn't itchy, it isn't tight." She smiles.
"That costume is definitely for you."
She nods.
"Now what should I do for another one? We have to have something for the party and something for Raw."
"Hmmm...well you do like all the disney stuff, and Mike always calls you princess...maybe a princess?"
"Oh Dolce, that's a great idea! Ooh I could use one of my maternity dresses and my tiara from my wedding!" Aly beams.
"I love your great ideas." She adds.
"You're welcome." I laugh.
"Let's just pay for this costume and we'll go back home and get the princess costume all set up."
"Right. I'll get out of this and help you with yours."
"Right." I nod.
She goes and changes, holding onto the costume while we search for mine. So far we only found two, a mermaid one and a victory greek goddess one. After taking a bit to find another one, she finds the perfect one.
"Oh Dolce...come here."
"What?" I question.
"It's a football girl and the colors are like Alex's old Varsity Villain gimmick." She giggles.
"Oh god, I can just see his face now."
"It'll be so funny."
"You have to try this on." She adds.
"Of course."
"I'll try all three of these on. To the dressing rooms."
We go over to the dressing rooms and I go in. The first one I try on is the mermaid one.
"So do you like it?" Aly asks.
"I do, I love the blue and everything. A little tight fitting, but let's see how the others fit."
"Sure."
I go back in and get out of that costume and put on the Victory Greek Goddess one, walking back out to show her.
"Ooh that's pretty."
"I know, and I love how it fits just perfectly."
"You should get that."
"This is a definite yes for one costume." I nod.
"Onto the next?"
"Yup...the fun one." I laugh.
She laughs too and I go back in. After changing into that one, I walk out again.
"Oh yeah, that is great." Aly laughs.
"And I love how this stretches, so it fits perfectly."
"I think that's a yes."
"So the last one and this one it is then."
"Okay. Let's go home and pick out my princess stuff. We'll have to lock Mike out of the room so he doesn't snoop."
"Right."
We pay for the costumes and head home. When we get home, the guys are up and just hanging out in the living room when we walk in.
"Have fun?" Mike asks.
"Yup."
Then we head right for their bedroom.
"What are you doing?"
"We're doing some girly stuff so stay out of the bedroom."
"Shouldn't take us long, but yeah...stay out."
"Awww."
Then we disappear into the hallway, before going into the bedroom, locking the door behind us. Aly hides her other costumes and pulls out the dresses.
"Okay, so from these dresses, which one would best? Do you want me to try them on?" She asks.
"You could." I nod.
She puts the first one on.
"That's pretty."
"I love the material."
"It looks comfortable that's for sure."
"It is."
"I love the color."
"I have the same dress in another color."
"Ooooh."
She shows me that dress and then slips on a strapless light blue dress.
"I love that blue."
"Me too. There's one last dress."
"Okay."
She puts on another pale blue strapless dress, but this one has patterns to it.
"Oooooh I like that one. You should wear that one."
"Yeah? Okay. You'll help me with my hair, right?"
"Oh of course." I smile.
"Thanks." She smiles back as she gets changed back into her clothes.
We unlock the door and head out to our husbands.
"All done?"
"Yeah."
"And don't go snooping, you'll find out later."
"Alright..."
She sits in Mike's lap and kisses him, lingering a bit.
"Good morning." She smiles.
"Good morning to you too." He smiles back.
"And you too." He says to her stomach.
"She says good morning too."
Mike smiles and rubs her stomach.
"So are you gonna tell us what you're being for the party tonight?" She says to Mike, saying 'us' by referring to her and Savannah.
"Hmm, to surprise you or not..." He muses.
"That's totallly up to you, since I'm keeping my costume a surprise."
"I'll just say it's an animal and leave it at that."
"Oh okay."
"Guessing wouldn't be an option would it/"
"Nope."
"Darn."
"Alex..." I trail off.
"Don't even think about it."
"Awww."
"You'll find out later."
"Oh fine."
"Oh you know what I head the other day? Maryse is gone. WWE released her." I comment.
"Oh my god are you serious?" Aly exclaims.
"Mmhmm...let me show you proof..give me a minute." I say taking out my phone and going to wwe dot com, finding the statement saying that she was released.
Then I hand my phone over to her, so that she can see the written proof.
"Holy shit! YES!" Aly cheers loudly.
"I knew you'd be way more excited about that." I snicker and take my phone from her.
"Well duh Captain Obvious. Thank God we don't have to put up with her crap anymore."
"I know, now if only they'd get rid of Eve."
"We can only hope."
"Highly doubt it."
"Yeah...oh well."
"At least one problem is taken care of."
"Exactly. I can relax a little more now." She says.
"Good, because you need it."
"Yeah." She agrees while snuggling into Mike.
"We each got two costumes. One for tonight and one for tomorrow night. You'll have to wait to see the ones for tomorrow night too."
"Awwww."
"Sorry."
"I guess we'll live."
"No guesses, you will live."
They pout and we just laugh.
"You'll love the costumes, trust us."
"Oh I don't think love is the word for the one I'm wearing tonight." I add.
Aly laughs harder.
"Yeah...that's true."
Alex looks at us curiously.
"You'll see." I pat his arm.
"Its worth the wait."
"Oh it really is."
"So what are we doing until the party?" Aly asks.
"Well what would you like to do?"
"What about doing something with Melina? We haven't seen her in forever." Aly says to me.
"Oooh yeah!"
"I'll call her." I say excitedly, reaching for my phone.
"You two gonna be okay by yourselves?" Aly asks Mike and Alex.
"We'll be fine." Mike assures her.
"You can text if you need us as always."
"Right."
I make plans with plans with Melina and then we get ready to go."
"Alright, we should be back in a few horus."
"Alright. Have fun."
"We will."
We kiss our husbands and both of them kiss and rub our bumps. We both say I love you to them and they say it back to us and to Bear and Savannah. Then we head out to the car. We leave and make our way to Melina's house. We find it without too much trouble and park in her driveway. We get out and go up to her door. Aly reaches out and knocks on the door. When she opens the door, she's all excited and everything and hugs us before letting us inside.
"Its so good to see you girls." She beams.
"It's so good to see you too."
"Look at those bumps!" Mel grins as we go into the living room.
"We know." We giggle.
"Pictures don't do them justice."
"No they don't."
"So have you found out what you're having?" Mel asks me.
"No, the last appointment, Bear wouldn't cooperate for us to find out."
"Awww."
"We're hoping to find out soon though. I got another appointment coming up."
"Let me know when you do."
"I will. But one thing I didn't tell you, the names we picked out for when we do find out."
"Aw, what names?"
"Aaliyah and Kieran."
"Awwww those are so cute!"
"I know, thank you." I smile.
"So how far are you now?" She asks.
"19 weeks."
"Almost halfway."
"Yup, and Bear's already attached to daddy." I giggle.
"Aww. How cute."
"I only feel flutters for now, but they're happening a lot more than when I first started feeling them."
"Soon you'll be getting kicks." Mel giggles.
"And then Alex will be even more happy than he is now."
"I bet."
"I'll let you know when she's moving around and you can feel the flutters for yourself."
"That'd be great."
"Just wait until you see Savvy moving and kicking." She adds.
"She's an acrobat in there." She laughs.
"Awww."
"How are you feeling?" Mel asks.
"I'm doing alright. A little tired and swelled but otherwise okay."
"It's all gonne be worth it in two months."
"I know." She smiles.
"I can't wait." She adds.
"I'm sure." Melina smiles.
"I think Mike's more excited about it." I laugh.
"Oh yeah, he's super excited." Aly giggles.
"He insists that she'll look like me."
"Aww." Melina laughs.
"All I want is for her to have his eyes."
"That would be so cute."
"It would be." I agree.
"She absolutely loves her daddy though."
"Sounds like someone is a daddy's girl." Mel giggles.
"You have no idea. She'll kick me to no end if she doesn't get her time with him."
"Awwwww."
"She kicks hard too."
"Ouch."
"Yeah but usually Mike is there to help."
"Of course."
"He has been so amazing."
"Well of course he has, he loves you."
"I know." She smiles.
"Of course it's gonna be hard when I can't travel anymore."
"I'll be by myself for a while." She sighs.
"Aww, well if you want, you can always stay here with me." Mel offers.
"Oh thank you. I'll let you know because I still have to talk to Mike about where we're having Savvy. I'm pretty sure he's going to say Vegas though."
"Alright, well if you do end up going there, I'll come with you. It's no problem at all."
"Aw, thanks Mel."
"You're welcome." She smiles.
"So when do you stop traveling?" "36 weeks, I'm 29 weeks."
"Ohh so soon then."
"Yeah." She sighs.
"But look on the brightside...at any time from the 36 weeks on you can have Savannah."
"I know. I just hate being away from Mike."
"I know, that's the hardest thing to go through."
"Plus I don't want to go into labor without Mike."
"But if he's not there he said he'd drop everything and come be there for you." I add.
"I know that but still...things can go quick and I don't want him to miss it."
"Right. I'm gonna have to stop traveling early so I can be there for you too."
"You don't have to Dolce. You should travel with Alex while you can." Aly shakes her head.
"Well maybe I'll stop traveling like a week or so before your final stretch you know? You're due the 15th of January right? Well about that time I'll be close myself. I'll have 10 weeks to go."
"I guess whatever you decide. Just make sure you talk to Alex about it."
"I know, I will."
"Hey Mel, Savvy's moving." Aly says.
"Oooh!"
She comes over and sits by Aly. She points out where Savvy's moving and kicking.
"Awww I see her."
Melina puts her hand on Aly's belly and beams when she feels the motions.
"She's a strong one isn't she?"
"Yes she is."
"Wonder where she gets it from." Aly says jokingly.
"Yeah, where?" Melina teases and we laugh.
"Just as long as she doesn't kick me in a spot that hurts, I'll be good."
"I wouldn't be surprised if she did though. We've been away from daddy for most of the day."
"She loves her daddy time."
"Very much so."
"She probably can't wait to get back home."
"I wouldn't doubt it."
"Are you going to the Halloween party tonight?" Aly asks her.
"Yeah I am." She smiles.
"Yayy, so are we."
"Great!"
"Wait until you see what we're wearing."
"What are you being?"
"Well I'm being a princess since Mike loves to call me that."
"Aww."
"And I'm being this kind of football girl." I add.
"The colors of her costume are blue and yellow like Alex's Varsity Villain gimmick." Aly laughs.
"Oh boy, he's gonna love that."
"That's what we said."
"Although I did say that love isn't the exact word for it." I laugh.
"More than love. We'll be lucky to get you out of the house before he tries to keep you there." Aly snickers.
"Hey you picked it out."
"Because I knew it was for you."
"Oh of course."
"Mike is going to love yours a lot too." I add.
"Oh yes."
"I have a bunch of really nice formal maternity dresses so I'll be wearing one of those." She tells Melina.
"Ooooh."
"I could actually show you if you bring me a computer."
"Oh sure. I'll be right back." She says getting up and disappearing into another room.
She comes back with a laptop and logs on for her. Aly types in the website and shoes her the dresses and clothes she's bought from there.
"Oooh I like those."
"I know. I love this stuff. Its so nice."
"Definitely."
"That's the dress I'm wearing tonight." Aly tells her, pointing to it.
"That's pretty!"
"It really is. She looks great in it." I say.
"And then I have a tiara that I wore at my wedding that I can wear with it."
"Aww."
"You're gonna look so pretty."
"Thanks."
"I'll definitely have to come find you two at the party."
"Oh for sure." We nod.
"I'm more anxious to find out what Mike's dressing up as." She adds.
"He says he's going to be an animal."
"Hmmm...oh the possibilities."
"I know. I'm so curious. I can't wait to see."
"And Alex didn't give me any hints." I add.
"Poor you." Melina giggles.
"Imagine if he went as his old gimmick...you'd be matching." Aly laughs.
"That would be funny."
"Oh that would mean that he'd bring back the old vest...I would like that."
"You would." Aly giggles.
"I miss that vest...that gimmick was the best."
"I agree, Alex makes a great heel."
"Oh yes." I nod.
"So does Mike."
"Him too...they play the role all too well."
"Definitely."
"It's like they were born to play the bad guy."
"I know right? I'm almost curious about how Mike would be as a face though. He's been a heel like his entire career."
"Oh I know. He'd be teaming up with John probably a lot, and he'd be teaming back up with Alex."
"That would be a nice change for once." Aly muses.
"But then he'd break up the tag team of him and Truth if he turned face. Not that we're complaining or anything."
"Oh god no."
"And then of course there's rumors going around that they're turning John heel."
"Interesting."
"Yeah I know right?"
"So how about going out and having a day of fun?" Melina suggests.
"Sure. What did you have in mind?"
"We could go to lunch, go shopping, mani/pedi's, massages, etc."
"Oooooh sure."
"Girl day woo."
"Gotta love them."
"Definitely."
We get up and head out together. First we find a place to eat lunch and walk in, getting seated. We order and chat about various things. After lunch, we head to a mall to go shopping in various stores.
"So are you having a baby shower soon?" Melina asks her.
"Yeah, at some point. I have to talk to Mike about it and see where and when. We might do like a baby party so that guys can come and what not." She replies.
"So Zack can bring Savannah a little broski t-shirt and everything?" I laugh.
"Oh he would." Aly laughs.
"Yes he would. Or something star wars related."
"That too."
"That's crazy, goofy uncle Zack."
"Oh yes."
"I wouldn't doubt him teaching Savannah how to fist pump."
"He would do that too." She snickers.
"Oh and don't forget the woo woo woo."
"Of course, can't forget that."
"Gotta love Zack."
"Yeah. He's so fun."
"Speaking of Zack is his dad still stalking you?" Aly asks Mel.
"Yeah, I mean he's like obsessed with you."
We laugh at her face.
"Don't remind me...but no I haven't seen him lately."
"I'm sorry, its kind of funny."
"Oh no it's okay."
"But speaking of stalkers, Maryse got released." Aly tells Melina.
"I heard about that, you must be really happy."
"It made my day. I'm so glad I don't have to worry about her getting all over Mike when I'm not around."
"Less stress on you and Savannah."
"Very much so."
"Won't have to worry about being backstage when Savvy's born and hearing her screechy, French accented voice."
"Yeah, that too."
"Yeah, she can go off and pursue all the modeling she does." I add.
"Yeah, just stay the heck away from us." Aly nods.
"Exactly."
"Now if we could get rid of Eve." I say.
"Yeah if only."
"She's still trying to go after Alex even though he's married to me and we a have baby on the way." I explain to Melina.
"That's ridiculous." She shakes her head.
"Which concerns me though...we have a tour coming up in Europe this coming week after Raw tomorrow night. Alex has a signing...with her."
"I'm sure we could ask Beth and Nattie to help keep an eye on her."
"Besides, Alex wouldn't let her do anything. He loves you and that baby too much." Melina adds.
"Oh I know, and I know they'd watch her for me. It just concerns me what she's gonna try to do when I'm not around."
"We know."
"Charity will kick her ass if she does anything." Aly says.
"Yeah she would...whether it's in the ring or not."
"Exactly."
After spending an hour or two shopping we moved onto getting mani/pedi's. Of course we gossip and talk the whole time. Then when those were all done for all of us, the last thing we decided to do was get massages.
"Ohhh. This feels amazing." Aly groans.
"Oh I knoww."
"Feels so good on my back. Wow."
"I bet."
"Mel, you have the best ideas."
"Why thank you." She smiles.
We enjoy the massages until they end and we leave, heading back to the car. Then we head to Melina's house. We hang out a little more before she and I decide to head home.
"We'll see you tonight Mel, today was fun."
"It was a blast. We'll have to do it again." She smiles.
"Definitely."
We say bye and then get in the car, driving back to the condo.
"I have a feeling we'll be attacked when we get back.
"Probably."
"This should be fun."
"Yup." She giggles.
After a bit we arrive back home and head inside, preparing ourselves for an attack from our husbands.
"We're home!" Aly calls as she shuts the door.
We hear the footsteps of Mike and Alex from our bedrooms and they quickly come out into the living room. We both get wrapped up in big hugs.
"Yup, attacked." I snicker.
Aly giggles against Mike's shoulder.
"Mmhmm."
"You came back just in time, we can start getting ready for the party soon."
"We know."
"Anxious aren't you?"
"Yesssss."
"How much time left exactly?"
"An hour or so."
"Will you be able to last that long?" Aly says jokingly.
"We'll see." Mike jokes.
"Uh huh..."
"Alone time?" She peers up at him.
"It's like you read my mind." He smirks.
"Lead the way Lover Boy." She giggles.
He grins and pulls away from the hug, dragging her in the direction of the bedroom.
"Bye!" I call, laughing.
She laughs and waves.
"We're going to our bedroom too you know." Alex grins.
"I figured." I laugh.
"Come on..." He says, tugging on my arm.
I let him lead me to the bedroom. Once in the bedroom, I set whatever bags I had from shopping down.
"Have fun?" Alex asks, nuzzling my neck.
"I did."
"Good."
"Got some more outfits and everything. I feel more relaxed since we ended the day with massages."
"That's good too."
"Bear hasn't moved all day."
"Really? Darn."
"Shouldn't be too long though, I mean you're with me now." I giggle.
"True." He chuckles.
"Bear really loves you daddy."
"I love Baby Love too."
"And you know that don't you?" He says to my stomach.
I laugh when I feel the movement.
"Bear heard you."
Alex grins.
"You love hearing my voice huh?"
"Of course Bear does."
He smiles and starts repeatedly saying 'I love you' to Bear. I smile at the cuteness.
"You're too cute."
Alex grins at me and steals a kiss.
"You know it."
"I do."
"I think it'd be easier to sit on the bed, just so that I'm not on my feet for the whole time."
Alex nods and scoops me up, setting me on the bed. Then he climbs onto the bed and continues being cute with talking to Bear. I just smile and watch enjoying the moment. Meanwhile with Aly, Mike is doing the same exact thing. She smiles softly, relaxing against the pillows.
"She missed you."
"I missed her too."
"Just to let you know...the tour in Europe after Raw tomorrow night, I'm staying behind with Dolce."
"I was going to ask you to anyway. I don't want anything happening to you or Savannah."
"I know."
"I just thought I'd mention it."
"Right."
"So you're gonna talk to Savvy for the whole hour I'm assuming."
"Is there something wrong with that?"
"No...just wondering..."
"...you can talk away...it's cute."
He studies her for a minute, sensing there's something she's not saying. She just shakes her head.
"There's something you're not telling me."
"I'm fine."
He studies her some more, figuring out what it is that she's not saying. He moves from her stomach and presses his lips to hers. She immediately kisses back, cupping his face.
"That's what you weren't telling me." He says after pulling away.
She looks down shyly.
"All you had to do was tell me you wanted affection too."
"...I didn't want interrupt you. You were having your time with Savvy..."
"I would've completely understood though."
She shrugs a little.
"Tell you what, the rest of the time until we have to get ready will be devoted to you."
"You don't have to do that..."
"I don't have to, but I want to."
"...okay..."
"There's still something wrong. What is it?"
"I...just feel bad that I'm taking away from your time with her..."
"You're not...she's still gonna be there later...she's not going anywhere."
She nods slowly and leans into his touch.
"I think she'll understand that mommy and daddy want their own alone time."
She nods again as he kisses her head. Then he wraps an arm around her and pulls her closer. She snuggles into him, soaking up the comfort and warmth. He would occasionally place kisses on her skin as she snuggles into him. She murmurs something in Italian quietly. The time however seemed to pass by awfully quickly and it was time for all of us to get ready. Aly and I take over the master bedroom to get ready, locking our husbands out.
"Oh their faces are gonna be priceless."
"I know." She giggles.
"Alright, let's help you with your hair now." I say once she has the dress on.
She nods and sits down in front of me. Then I start working on her hair. It takes a while but I do finish.
"Alright, all done. You can go take a look if you want."
She goes to look.
"Oh Dolce, that is amazing."
"Why thank you."
I put in the tiara and she smiles.
"Perfect. Just have to do my makeup."
"And now I have to get ready."
I get my costume on and once Aly finishes her makeup, she helps me with my hair.
"DC may not even want to leave after seeing you."
"I know." I laugh.
"But he's gonna have to leave anyway." I add.
"Right." Aly giggles.
"Okay, all done."
"Thanks Aly."
"You're welcome." She smiles.
"We ready to go out there?"
"Yep."
We grab everything we need and I suggested that Aly goes out first and I'll come out behind her. Aly unlocks the door and steps out, heading to the living room. Then I come out of the room, staying a ways behind her so that Alex doesn't see me quite yet. She gets to the living room and makes a noise to get their attention. Alex stops snickering for a moment as he and Mike turn to see her standing there. She looks at their costumes and giggles.
"You look so adorable Mike."
He's still staring so she doesn't get a response.
"Yoo hoo, earth to Lover Boy."
She looks amused as he snaps out of it.
"Welcome back to earth."
"Very funny."
She slowly spins to give him the full view.
"Just amazing."
She smiles.
"You look so cute." She giggles, messing with the puppy ears on his head.
"Savvy would love seeing you in this."
He smiles and agrees.
"And my name for this costume...Wilfred."
"...Wilfred. Ooookay then."
"I'll explain later."
"Okay."
"Dolce, you can come out here now." She calls to me, snickering.
I laugh and step out. She looks from me to Alex, watching his facial expression change as he sees me. She starts laughing as his jaw drops.
"She picked it out." I point to Aly.
"You rock Windy." Alex says immediately.
"Why thank you." She snickers.
"I think we should give them a little time alone before we leave...so let's go down to the car and wait." Aly says to Mike quietly.
He nods.
"Let's get you a jacket and we'll go." He says.
She agrees and pulls on a jacket before the two of them go to the car.
"You're gonna catch flies you know." I snicker.
Alex snaps out of his daze and walks over to kiss me. I giggle as he kisses me with a lot of passion and then I feel a wall against my back, and he drags out the kiss for a while. I finally pull my lips away to get some air.
"...you..." I manage to say.
"I think you look so...sexy and gorgeous."
"I'm glad you think so."
"Wish we could stay here." Alex cups my cheek.
"Somehow I had a feeling you'd say something like that."
"But I want to go to the party and have fun with friends."
"We can have our fun after we get back from the party." I grin.
"Promise?" He grins.
"Promise."
"Alright. Let's go before the temptation takes over."
"Yes, let's...even though it's not a bad thing." I smirk.
Alex chuckles and gets me a coat before the two of us go to the car.
"You two have fun up there?" She teases as we get into the car.
"Yes." Alex chuckles.
"Almost didn't get out of there." I add.
"I figured that would happen."
Then we leave and head off to where the party is. The whole ride however, Alex was all touchy, feely and everything. I laugh and let him. When we get to where the party is, we find a spot and park, then head inside. We find a table and set our things down.
"Cuddly." I say after he sits down in one of the chairs, pulling me down with him.
"Because I love you."
"And I love you."
I kiss him gently and smile when he rubs my bump. Aly however can't stop playing with the ears of Mike's costume.
"Having fun?" He chuckles.
"Yes, yes I am." She giggles.
"They're so floppy and cute."
She keeps playing with them, giggling.
"You're haing way too much fun with my costume." He laughs.
"It's so cute!"
"So you keep telling me."
She kisses him briefly, making sure to watch out for the black stuff on his nose.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
"You look beautiful you know."
"Thank you."
"Dolce came up with the idea for the costume."
"Great idea."
"Thought so."
"I thought it was perfect because of you calling me princess."
"It is perfect."
"Gave me the opportunity to wear one of the formal maternity dresses I bought."
"Which I love."
"I can tell by the way you're being touchy and giving me that look."
"Can't hide anything from you."
"Not much anyway." She giggles, kissing his cheek.
"Of course not."
"But that's okay because I'm your wife."
"That's right." He smiles.
"My beautiful pregnant wife." He says, making me smile.
"Awwwwww."
She nuzzles his cheek.
"You wanna go and dance a bit?"
"Sure."
"We'll be back...lovebirds." Aly says to Alex and I.
I wave, giggling a bit. Then she and Mike get up and walk away from the table, she still plays with the ears on Mike's costume. Mike laughs at her.
"What? It's fun, okay?" She laughs.
"You can only blame yourself." She adds.
"I know." He chuckles.
"Should just call you floppy ears." She snickers.
"Floppy earssssss." She sings, playing with them.
"Oh just wait until I start dancing crazy...they'll really be floppy."
"Yes!" She laughs.
"I've never seen anyone more excited to see floppy ears before." He chuckles.
"Its the little things."
"Well then you're gonna laugh even more."
"I know. The only thing I don't care for is having to avoid your nose because of the painty stuff."
"Right, don't want any of that rubbing off onto you."
"Means we can't kiss properly." She pouts.
"Awww darn."
"Unless you take it off after a while."
"True...but it takes away from the costume."
"Whatever you want. Guess you don't want real kisses that bad then."
"I do though..."
"Well you don't get them with that stuff on your nose."
"Awwwwww."
"I don't want it on me." She shrugs.
"I suppose I can wait until we get back home..."
"Your choice." She shrugs.
"Hmmm I can wait if you can wait."
"We'll see."
"But for now, let's just have fun."
"Of course." She kisses his cheek.
"Ohhhh this song...prepare for the floppy ears." Mike laughs.
She laughs.
"If only I had my camera."
"I'm sure people are taking pictures."
"True, but I would have my own to keep forever."
"We'll take some later okay?"
"Okay."
"But we've got to party now." He says and starts to do some crazy dancing that causes his ears to be all floppy.
She laughs. Then he tries to get her dancing. She dances a little, but it's hard when she's laughing.
"...wait, don't you have your phone? You can take pictures on that." She asks Mike.
"Ohhh right. I forgot."
"But I have no pockets, it's at the table with Carly and Alex."
"Let's get it. I want pictures."
"Alright." He nods, and they both head back to the table to get it.
They grab it and goes back out. First they take a picture of the both of them, and Mike of course posts it on Twitter witht he caption 'Wilfred is getting into Mizchief!'.
"Dork." She giggles.
"Love you too."
"Oh you know I love you. It's too fun to tease."
"Oh I know."
"Any other funny captions for pictures?" She laughs.
"Maybe."
She lets out a giggle and kisses his cheek.
"It's gonna be a fun night."
"Definitely."
"Especially with the floppy ears."
"Yes the floppy ears." Mike chuckles as she reaches for them again.
"Can't help myself." She giggles.
"They're so fun to play with." She adds.
"Well thank god I don't have a tail...you'd be playing with that too."
"That would be a little awkward." She giggles.
"Yeah it would be huh?"
"Yep."
"Even if you did have a tail, I'd stick to the ears anyway."
"Good to know."
"I bet you're even more fun to cuddle with in that costume...telling by the ears and how they feel...it's soft."
"You would think about stuff like that."
"Of course."
"I like cuddling with you, I can't help it."
"I know." Mike chuckles.
"Hug..." She grins, holding her arms out.
He grins and hugs her to him as close as he can.
"Yup, more cuddly."
"Mmm..." She snuggles into him.
"So soft too..."
"You're really enjoying this huh?"
"Mmhmm."
"I really hope a slow song comes on because I don't want to let go yet."
Sure enough, a slow song comes on.
"Well look at that, you got lucky."
"Yayyy."
She snuggles into him even more as they move slightly to the music. She giggles quietly when she feels movement inside her belly.
"Somebody likes this daddy."
"Awww."
She smiles softly when Mikem oves a hand to her bump so he can feel her movements for himself.
"If only she could see you in your costume." She tells him.
"That would be great because she'd be here and we would have her to dress up." Mike says.
"She'll be so cute next year."
"Any ideas on what we're gonna dress her up as?"
"I'm not sure. There's so many cute ones out there."
"Something to think about then."
"Mmhmm."
"So many firsts next year."
"Yeah, I can't wait."
"Me neither."
"Our first child born, our first anniversary, first mother's day, first father's day, our other first anniversary..."
"All very exciting things."
"Mmhmm." She smiles.
"Things that I can't wait to celebrate."
"Me too. It'll be so much fun."
"Not to mention the birthdays."
"Oh yes. Even though I'll be 30...ehhhh..."
"Hey, there's nothing wrong with being 30"
"Not a fun age really. But we'll have a 3 month old so I probably won't get to dwell on it much."
"If it makes you feel better, I'm 31...remember that."
"I know."
"And Alex is 30."
"Yeah."
"And if I have say, we all look good for our ages."
"Of course." She laughs.
"Kind of hard to believe that we're the ages we are."
"I know. It's crazy."
"The working out is what keeps us looking young."
"Could be." She nods.
"Which is a good thing. I enjoy going to the gym with you." She grins.
"I know you do."
"Which speaking of, we should go to again. I need to do more walking."
"Alright, we can do that. Whenever you feel like joining me at the gym, you can."
"Alright, good." She nods.
"Walking, swimming, and I think yoga are the most recommended exercises for pregnant women." She adds.
"I will keep that in mind."
She nods and lays her head against his shoulder.
"Wanna go sit down now?" He asks when the song ends.
"Yeah."
They both turn around and head back to the table, where it's not empty since Alex and I had gotten up to go dance ourselves. Mike sits and of course she sits in his lap as always. He leans down and talks to Savannah for a bit as Aly snuggles into him again. She watches him with an amused smile, feeling Savannah kick and move while she talks to her.
"If only you could see daddy right now..."
"We'll show you pictures when you're older." Aly giggles.
"She'll probably say I'm such a goof."
"Probably."
"But that's because you are."
"I know but I'm your goof."
"Yes you are."
"And you're Savvy's goofy daddy."
"Of course."
"You're gonna make her laugh so much."
"Good." He grins.
"...floppy ears..."
She giggles, touching them again.
"If you want me to act like a dog, I can."
"You better not lick me."
"Why not?"
"Gross!" She laughs.
"Don't worry, I won't." He laughs too.
"You better not. I'll make you sleep on the couch or something."
"I won't...promise."
"Good."
"I'll just kiss you the best I can instead."
She giggles and accepts his kiss.
"Love you."
"I love you too."
Then he starts nuzzling her like a dog would.
"Watch that nose." She laughs lightly.
"I know...don't worry."
"Alright...Floppy."
"It's not Floppy...it's Wilfred."
"I'm teasing."
"...Wilfred."
"...floppy..."
"Floppy Wilfred." She snickers.
"Beat that." She laughs.
"You got me there...I can't beat that."
"I didn't think so."
Alex and I come back to the table after a while, him still being all touchy feely. I have to keep swatting his hands away, but he puts them back where he had them. Aly just laughs.
"Someone's Mr. Touchy Feely."
"All your fault too."
"My bad." Aly snickers.
"But I don't hear you complaining."
"...no...but still."
"Oh...relax." Alex tells me.
"You love it." Aly teases.
"I do..."
"So shush." Alex says.
Then I look around after being pulled down on Alex's lap again.
"The decorations are great, aren't they?" Aly comments.
"Oh yeah, amazing."
The boys nod in agreement.
"Oooh I spot Mel."
We both wave at her and she walks over. Of course the first costume she notices is Mike's.
"Mike, you look so adorable!"
"Doesn't he? I'm in love with the floppy ears." Aly laughs.
"Of course you are. And you look so pretty!"
"Thanks. You do too."
"Thank you. Carly, that's an amazing costume."
"Thanks Mel." I smile.
"We almost didn't make it out of Mike's condo."
"I bet." Melina laughs.
"I think I'm in for it when we get back."
"For sure."
"How are the babies?" She asks both of us.
"Good." We smile.
"Savvy's moving and kicking again."
"Awww."
"Bear's quiet."
"Aw, I was hoping to feel your flutters happen."
"I know...Bear's being stubborn today."
"I guess so."
"Only moved for daddy."
"Aww."
"Already attached...like I said." I smile.
"That's so cute."
"I know, isn't it?"
"Babies and their daddies." Aly giggles.
"I can't wait to see them after they're born."
"They'll be so adorable." She smiles.
"Well, Miss Jellybean is getting closer. Only about two months left."
"Exciting."
"Definitely."
"Well I'll let you get back to having fun."
"Alright, bye Mel."
"Hugs first."
We laugh and hug her.
"And I just have to do this..." She trails off, playing with one of the ears of Mike's costume like Aly was doing all night.
Aly laughs harder.
"Fun huh?" She asks.
"It is soft." Melina laughs.
"Which is why I'm so comfortable right now."
"He's even more cuddly than normal." Aly giggles.
"It looks like it."
"Well I'll talk to you all later." Melina says and we say bye before she walks off.
"Now you've gotten her playing with your floppy ears."
"I'm just that popular." Mike laughs.
"Yes you are."
She snuggles back in close to Mike.
"You look like you may end up falling asleep you're so comfortable." I say to her.
"I might. It is really comfy." She laughs quietly
"Awww."
Mike chuckles and kisses her head. To prevent herself from falling asleep, after a bit she decides to get back up and go out dancing along with me and Alex. She leans back into Mike as he holds her hips. We stay dancing for a few more songs or so before deciding to head back home. We say bye to everyone we want to and then go to the car.
"I'm definitely tired now."
"Me too." Aly mumbles, snuggling into Mike.
"We'll be home soon."
She nods and lays her head against him, her eyes shutting. She only dozes off briefly, and we get back home. Mike manages to wake her up so that we could head inside. We make it inside and say goodnight before heading to our rooms.
"I may be too tired to do anything else, but I'll let you help me take the costume off." I say once Alex and I get into our room.
"Alright." He agrees.
"I know you want to anyway."
He laughs and nods. Alex helps me out of my costume, giving mek isses and loving touches the whole time.
"Hmmm to wear something to bed or just go to bed like this..." I trail off, thinking.
"Which is more comfortable?" Alex asks.
"Well this feels pretty comfortable for now..."
"Alright. I'll lay one of my shirts by the bed if you get cold, would that work?"
"Yeah that works."
Alex gets out one of his shirts and lays it close to the bed while I get under the covers. I thank him as he gets under the covers next me. Then I snuggle into his side.
"You're welcome. Whatever you need, just ask." He kisses my head.
"I know." I nod.
"Nigt love."
"Night."
In Aly and Mike's room, she's changed out of the dress, and climbed into bed after Mike did.
"You forgot the tiara." Mike chuckles, gently taking it out and letting her hair down.
"Oh oops. Thank you babe."
"You're welcome."
He sets that stuff aside and then she cuddles against him when he settles in his spot.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
He then reaches over and turns off the light.
"Night."
"Night."
