Another Wednesday...another night at NXT. I have to say I'm liking this being on more WWE programming now. We were currently on our way to the arena, from the hotel.
"You know, I really hope Aly doesn't go into labor while we're gone." I comment.
"She's so close, it worries me."
"I know."
"I just hope it doesn't happen tonight." I sigh.
"I know love. I know you really want to be there. Hopefully Savvy will wait for us."
"Can we fly out after the show tonight?"
"If you feel like you'll be alright." Alex says after a pause.
"I can sleep on the plane. I just wanna be there."
"Alright."
"Rather be there sometime tomorrow than not at all."
"Right."
I sigh as I look out the window. Alex reaches over and takes my hand, squeezing it reassuringly.
"You know, you get stressed out about this...it stresses out Liyah."
"I know but I can't help it. I really want to be there for Aly."
"I know. I'll call the airport to see if there's any flights in an hour, since that's how long the show is. My match isn't until almost the end, and we can leave, head back to the hotel and head to the airport. You have to relax."
"I'll try."
He takes my hand and kisses the back of it, before we move on from the red light we were at. We soon get to the arena and go in. We go down to the locker room, but instead of waiting outside for him, since he doesn't have to change yet, he says that I can go in with him.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, we'll just be watching the show in there. You can get out when I have to change...if you want."
I giggle and follow him in.
"I'll think about it." I say, giggling more.
"Alright." Alex chuckles.
"...even though I know you want to." He adds.
"I do." I giggle.
"Your choice if you wanna look or not." He snickers.
"Alex!" I say smacking him on the arm.
He laughs loudly.
"Alright alright, I'm sorry." He says through his laughter.
"You should be."
"Even though I know it's true."
We both laugh, settling down to watch the beginning of the show. Of course it was kind of hard with him being all distracting and whatnot.
"Oh, so now you're gonna start this..."
"Yup."
"It's a long time until my match, trying to stay entertained."
"Ah. I see."
"So no ruining the fun."
"I suppose."
"You suppose?"
"I have to keep you on your toes you know."
"Why is that?"
"It's fun."
"As much fun as me being distracting?" He asks.
"Hmm...maybe."
"I beg to differ."
Alex steps up the intensity of his distractions. I try to ignore his distractions the best I can and focus on the show which now has Maxine and Alicia in the ring, starting to argue.
"You know what? I'm sorry, I was rude. Maxine, how are you doing? Or who are you doing?"
"Ohhhh burrrrn." I snicker.
Alex snickers against my neck.
"Ohhh. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Is someone getting lonely at night? You don't have that tender touch, so you have to stick your nose in my business? It doesn't matter who, what I'm doing, because I always end up back on my feet."
"You make your business for everyone to see, so what're you talking about?" I scoff.
"Oh funny, because I thought you were more comfortable on your back." Alicia retorts, pushing her over.
"Really Alicia?" Maxine asks after getting back up. "I actually prefer being on top." She finishes, getting into a fight with Alicia.
"Awkward."
This begins a match against them both, kind of like last week with Alex and McGillicutty.
"Another night that starts with a fight, ends in a match."
"Yup."
"But we don't have to pay attention to that." He mumbles.
"Mmm."
"You're not gonna stop with the distractions are you?"
"Nope."
"Not until I have to change for the match...and that's a long time." He smirks.
"Right..."
"...affectionate."
"Always."
"That's how we ended up with Liyah."
"True."
"Which is a good thing."
"Of course."
"Two more months almost."
"Yeah. I can't wait."
"I'm thinking that I'll be down in Florida at our place there when I have to stop traveling."
"Really? You want her born in Florida?" He asks curiously, pausing.
"Well yeah, why do you ask?"
"Just curious."
"See, it's gonna be March when she's born. In March, there's still a chance for cold weather. I mean on my birthday one year it was freezing and there was snow on the ground still. I'd much rather have her born where it's warm."
"True. Alright."
"I'm gonna be alone for a while, unless Aly comes down with Savannah."
"I'm sure she will."
"I know she will."
Alex nods and resumes his distractions. This time the distractions works as I lose focus on the tv, and lean more into his touch. He smirks triumphantly.
"You're evil..."
"Yep."
I suddenly couldn't take it anymore, shifting and grabbing him, pulling him closer and kissing him. Alex laughs into my mouth before kissing back. In the meantime, Aly's home with Mike, trying to relax the best she can, but with it being so close to Savvy's due date, it's gotten harder to. She shifts and tries to get comfortable, trying not to grimace.
"Can't get comfortable?"
"No."
"This is so frustrating." She sighs.
"I'm so done." She grumbles.
Mike can sense she's starting to get a little angry, so he thinks about whether he should say something or not. She shifts again and then sighs in frustration again, followed by covering her face with both hands. Mike sighs himself, scooching over and cautiously putting an arm around her. She doesn't move away but now he can feel her shaking.
"Lys..." He says, concerned.
"I'm tired, ache-y, uncomfortable..." She sniffles.
"...I'm trying not to snap at you..." She adds.
"...I'm just not having a good day."
"Shhh...calm down. I know you're going through a lot, I can tell. I know that at any day she's gonna be here. All this is gonna be worth it."
She lets out a shuddering sigh and wipes her face before scooching into him.
"It's gonna be alright."
"Mmm."
"I love you, just remember that."
"I love you too."
"I just want her to be here already so I don't feel like this anymore." She sighs.
"I know. Soon."
"Soon isn't soon enough."
She whines softly.
"I wish there was some way I could help, I really do."
"I know."
"I hate seeing you like this."
She just kisses his cheek.
"I know you don't."
"Not much we can do."
"Right."
"I'm probably going to be moody and snippy all day so try not to take me too seriously. I won't mean most of it."
"I'll keep that in mind." He nods.
She sighs as he rubs her back.
"You wanna try and nap or something?"
"I don't know." She sighs.
"Well I'm here for you."
"I know." She kisses his cheek.
"I appreciate it."
"I really do." She adds, before kissing him lightly on the lips.
"I know you do."
She melts into him as he rubs her back.
"Everything will turn out just fine in the end."
"Mmm." She sighs.
She makes a small noise as she feels his lips against her nose. She wrinkles her nose in response.
"You look cute when you do that." He chuckles.
She giggles and then his lips brush her before moving away.
"You always know how to help me feel better."
"I just know you." He says, his lips against her jaw.
"Because I'm your wife."
"Mmhmm."
"I know everything about you." He adds.
"Oh really."
"Well maybe not exactly everything, but just enough."
"Mmm."
"How about I go cook you something?"
"Not really that hungry right now." She murmurs.
"Okay, then I'll just lay here with you."
She nods as he moves his lips along her jawline.
"You're gonna try and be distracting now aren't you?"
"Of course."
"What if I say it's not working?"
He stops.
"Is it?"
"Well...I mean I love the affection, but I've got so much on my mind..." She says, sighing.
"I want to enjoy the affection honestly...I just can't get my mind away from going into labor." She adds.
"That's alright, I understand."
"You can keep going if you want. It feels good." She says, biting her lip.
"That's the point, it's supposed to feel good."
She nods.
"Just because I can't focus on it, doesn't mean you have to stop."
"You sure?" He asks.
"Mmhmm."
"I don't want to be a fun sucker."
"You wouldn't be a fun sucker."
She cups his face and brings his lips to hers for a short kiss.
"If anyone would be the fun sucker it would be me." She adds.
"Now be quiet." She murmurs.
Then she wraps her arms around him and hugs him. Mike kisses her head and she smiles a bit. Then he starts saying 'I love you' repeatedly. She kisses a different spot on him each time he says it.
"I know...you love me."
"I love you too." She adds.
"More than you know."
"Same here." He agrees, kissing by her ear.
"Do you think Dolce and DC are gonna make it here in time before she's born? That's another thing I'm worried about. I want them here."
"I think they will be. You know how Carls is."
"She's probably worrying about getting here herself." He adds.
"That does sound like her."
"Cause she cares about you, and she wants to be here for you and for Savvy."
"I know."
"You wanna call her and make sure she's gonna be able to make it?"
She bites her lip and nods. He lets her go and reaches for her phone, picking it up and handing it to her. She goes through and calls my number.
"Hello?" I say on the other line after a few rings.
"Hi Dolce."
"Hey."
"Are you okay?" I blurt out.
"I'm not in labor if that's what you're asking. I'm uncomfortable and tired but otherwise okay."
"Oh...well thank god you're not in labor. What's up?"
"Are you guys going to be able to get here in the next few days?"
"As a matter of fact after NXT...we're flying right out."
"Oh good." She sighs in relief.
Mike feels the tension just melt out of her body.
"I was really worried you wouldn't make it or something."
"I know, me too. That's why I asked Alex if we could leave right after."
"That makes me feel so much better, you have no idea."
"You know I'll do anything to be there for both you and Savannah."
"I know. I really appreciate it."
"You're welcome. Shouldn't be too much longer now. One more match before Alex's and then we'll be on our way."
"Okay. Talk to you later then."
"Yup, bye."
"Bye." She says.
She hangs up and puts her phone aside. Then she snuggles into Mike, so much more relaxed now.
"You seem so much better."
"Mmm. I feel better knowing they're coming."
"I'm glad."
"I mean, I know your mom is here and that is great but Dolce and I have been through so much together. I really want her here when Savvy is born."
"Right."
Mike softly kisses her jaw and she tilts into it.
"There's the reaction I want."
She gives a soft laugh.
"Goof."
"My goof." She adds.
"Forever."
"Mmm, forever."
"And ever."
"Mmhmm."
Then he keeps saying 'and ever' repeatedly, kissing her everywhere he can reach. She bursts into giggles, squirming.
"Miiike, that tickles!"
He laughs at her.
"Quiiiiit." She laughs.
"But it's fun."
"Noooooo..." She giggles helplessly.
"Yessss..."
"Nooooooooo."
"Yessssss."
"Noo- ohhh..." Her giggling changes into a moan when his playful tickling turns into something else.
All he can do is smirk against her skin. She clutches at him, her nails digging slightly into his back. He hits the sensitive spot on her neck, but this time she knew it was coming. She manages to stifle the building moan. He moves from her neck up to behind her ear, and she tilts her head. Then he moves to her ear, gently nipping at her earlobe. Small noises escape her, making him smirk. He moves from there, along her jawline, just pausing near her lips. She sighs, licking her lips slightly. Then he finally presses his lips to hers. She makes a noise in content, responding. Unfortunately he doesn't stay there long, going back down to her jawline and going to the other side of her neck. She whines involuntarily.
"I'll go back there, don't worry."
She tries to bring him back up but he, won't making her pout.
"Patience..."
"I suck at patience."
"Try..."
She mumbles under her breath.
"I know it's hard..."
She just gives him a look and he dips his head back down. He moves to her neck now, kissing along that before moving back up, making his way back to her lips again. She holds his neck and kisses back hard. She barely gives him any time to respond, pulling away before he could. She raises an eyebrow at him as if to say 'No how does it feel?'. He goes to kiss her again, but she stops him.
"No more for right now."
He pouts.
"Later."
"I think we should probably get up."
"Awww."
"Somebody's stirring." She says, pointing downwards.
"Ohhh."
Mike moves and helps her up. Then they start to get dressed, since they relaxed in the tub before taking a nap.
"I can't wait for you to get here." Mike says to Savvy after he gets dressed.
She kicks and moves.
"I think she's excited too."
"Say soon daddy." She tells her, rubbing her stomach.
She kicks again, her way of telling Mike that it'll be soon.
"Alright, time for dinner."
"Want me to make it?"
"I wouldn't be surprised if your mom beat us to it."
"True."
Sure enough, they go out to the kitchen and Mike's mom is cooking.
"Told you."
"Yes you did."
"Morning." Mike says.
"Morning you two." Carol smiles.
"Savvy's moving around...she's hungry." Aly giggles.
"Awww." She laughs.
"Well, it's almost done." She adds.
"Thanks Carol."
"Not a problem."
"And I told you, you can call me Mom too." She adds.
"Sorry, I keep forgetting." Aly laughs a bit.
"That's okay."
"I think she's going to come soon. I don't think that I'll make it to my due date." Aly remarks, rubbing her belly as she sits on a stool.
"Just have that feeling?"
"Mmhmm." She nods.
"We'll just have to wait and see."
"Right."
"But any day now."
"Right."
"Well it's best you try and not worry about it too much."
"I'll try."
Once the food was done, Mike helped get the plates ready, putting the food on them, giving Aly hers.
"Thanks babe."
"You're welcome."
They start to eat, talking while they do. Back at the arena with me and Alex however, his match was coming up next and he got up to get changed into his ring gear, while I watched a video package of what happened on Raw this week with Kane attacking Zack.
"I don't know why he's going after him, it's not right, he didn't do anything to him."
"Its because of his link to John."
"He's using Zack to get to him." He adds.
"I don't like it. I don't want Zack hurt. Charity sure as hell doesn't want him hurt."
"Of course not."
"Monday night worried me, when he threw Zack through those wooden pallets. I know he's alright, no structural damage. But I have a feeling it won't stop."
"I know. Kane is unpredictable."
Backstage Maxine was talking to Aksana before Derrick interrupted and then Maxine and him were fighting before she walked off.
"Okay, so she's going out there with Curtis. You have to promise me that if she gets involved in the match, you won't get involved with her."
"But..."
"Promise me." He says firmly.
"Whether she makes me lose or not." He adds.
"I don't want you out there unless you promise."
I sigh.
"I don't like it...but I promise."
"Good. I just want you and Liyah safe."
"I know..."
Alex kisses me softly. Then he pulls away so he can finish getting ready, and once he is, he helps me up and we head to the curtain. From there we immediately go out once they play his music. I let him slap the fans hand and such as he goes down the ramp, and I follow behind. When he gets into the ring, I walk around and like last week go over to commentary. Then Curtis comes out with Maxine, and I snicker when she almost trips because Curtis is pulling her along, walking a little too fast.
The bell rings, and they circle each other before locking up. Johnny gets him in a headlock, then goes against the ropes and shoulder blocks Alex. Alex moves when Curtis goes against the ropes again and when Alex gets up, he catches him and flips him over in an one-armed supplex. Curtis immediately rolls out of the ring and goes over to Maxine, leaning his forehead against hers before kissing it and then getting back up onto the ring, spearing Alex when he walks over. Then he kicks him in the head, making Alex roll away as he gets back into the ring. He picks Alex up before punching him in the head, and then stomping on him. Picks Alex up again and throws him into the corner, hard. He goes for the cover, only getting a two count. He then gets him in a rear chin lock, before Alex gets up and throws punches, countering one of Curtis' moves. I cheer quietly. Alex has the momentum know, clotheslining Curtis amd then kicking him in the shoulder. Alex goes back to the ropes, stopping when Maxine makes it seem like she's going to get involved. That causes a distraction, and Curtis hits his finisher on Alex, winning the match. I glare at Maxine. I wait until Alex rolls out of the ring, since Maxine is in the ring with Curtis, and I get up from commentary, going over to help him.
"You okay?"
"I'll be fine."
"Good."
"Let's get you backstage, so we can get ready to go. The quicker we get back to the locker room for you to change, the quicker we can get to the hotel and get on a plane."
"Right." He nods.
I help him get up the best I can, before we head back up the ramp and backstage, heading to the locker room. I of course go in with him and sit there and wait as he changes. I enjoy the view and when he's done, the two of us leave for the hotel. Once we get there, we pack up our things and head right out to the airport to catch the earliest flight out to Vegas. Sitting in the airport, waiting for our plane, I call Aly to tell her that we'll be on our way soon.
"Hello?" She asks.
"Hey, just calling to let you know we're waiting for our plane now. We should be leaving soon."
"Oh good."
"Thought I'd call and let you know."
"Right. Send a text when you land alright?"
"Will do."
"Talk to you later then."
"Of course."
"Bye, have a safe flight."
"Thanks, bye."
We hang up.
"They're waiting for their plane now." She tells Mike.
"Oh okay."
"I feel so much better now."
"I'm glad."
"I think someone else is glad too." Mike chuckles, seeing Savvy stretch out.
She giggles softly.
"Looks like she wants her favorite game again."
"Mmhmm."
He chuckles and starts to play the game with her. She watches in amusement. Not only does he play the game with her, but he also starts being all cute and talking to her and everything. She smiles, enjoying the sweetness.
"You're being too cute."
"I know."
"Just wait until she's here." He grins.
"Oh I know. You'll be even more cute."
"Looking forward to it." She adds.
"Me too." Mike agrees.
"I love you so much." He says to her, kissing where she's stretched out.
Aly tears up at the cuteness.
"And I love you so much too." He says to Aly.
"I love you too."
Then he kisses her briefly before hugging her. She snuggles into him happily.
"So, just relax for the rest of the night or do something else?"
"Hmm..."
"I think relaxing is probably a good idea..." She says, even though she's eyeing his lips.
"I kind of figured 'cause I know with how close you are, you're tired." He nods.
"Unfortunately."
"But that's okay."
"Mmm."
"You're gonna need all your energy for when Savvy does come."
"I know."
"So I'll let you get the rest you need this week."
"Okay."
Then she gets up from the stool and they both head out into the living room to relax. Mike sits down and she sits in front of him, leaning back as he wraps his arms around her. He smiles as he leans his head against hers.
"Mmm. Relaxing."
"Just what you need."
"Yeah."
"When you feel too tired, let me know."
"I will."
While Carol does the dishes from dinner, Aly relaxes on the couch wiht Mike as they watch some tv. She gets so comfy that she starts to doze off.
"...Mike..."
"Tired?"
"Yeah."
"Alright, we'll go to bed. Let's go."
She sighs and heaves herself up.
"Wait wait...I'll help you."
He gets up quickly and helps her. Then they head to their bedroom after saying goodnight to Carol. And instead of her changing into new clothes for bed, she changes out of the clothes she has on before climbing into bed. It takes time but eventually she manages to get comfortable.
"Sleep." Mike says.
"Night, love you."
"Love you too."
She drifts off, followed later by Mike. After a long flight, Alex and I finally make it to Vegas, but we're exhausted, me more so than him.
"Time to get you home and into bed." Alex says.
After getting our luggage from the baggage claim, we head out to a waiting taxt, putting our things in the trunk and getting in, heading home. I get there and I go inside while Alex gets the bags. After paying the driver he comes in with our things, heading to the bedroom where I had went. He puts down the bags and sees me in bed already. He smiles at how peaceful I look, before changing himself and climbing into bed next to me.
"Night love." He kisses my head.
Since I'm almost out of it, I just make a quiet noise in response, before passing out.
