Tonight is a Smackdown taping and since it's in Vegas, Aly thought it'd be a great idea to go visit Nattie, and bring Savannah with her. She just finished getting ready, and began working on getting Savvy ready to go. She gets her changes and puts her in a cute outfit, talking to her the whole time.
"Hi pretty girl." She coos.
"She's beautful, just like you." Mike smiles.
"Say Daddy's biased isn't he?" She says to her.
"Everyone's gonna love her backstage."
"Of course. I don't think we'll stay for too long."
"That's okay."
She puts a pink bow headband on her head.
"There we go."
"Awwwww."
"Now let's get your jacket on and your shoes." She tells her.
"Mike, can you get those for me?"
"Of course." He nods, going to grab them.
"Thank you." She says, when he hands them to her.
"You're welcome." He smiles.
She puts them on her.
"There we go. All ready to go into your car seat."
She picks her up and brings her over to her car seat, putting her in it. She buckles her in and makes sure her binky is in before zipping up the cover. She leaves the top flap down so they can see her.
"Don't you look so cute."
They fawn over her a little.
"Alright, we should go." She says.
"Right." Mike nods.
Mike picks up her car seat and carries her to the living room so he and Aly can get their jackets and shoes. She makes sure they have everything in the diaper bag as well. She and Mike get their shoes and jackets, putting those on before going back to Savvy.
"Time to go Jellybean." She says, before flipping up the cover and moving so that Mike can pick her car seat up.
He picks her car seat up, and Aly grabs the diaper bag, before they head out, locking the door behind them. They go to the car and get Savvy locked in before getting in themselves. Mike drives them to the arena where Smackdown is being taped.
"We're here." Aly sings to Savvy as Mike pulls into the parking lot.
They park and Mike gets the stroller out before getting Savvy, locking the car seat onto the stroller. Aly stashes the diaper bag below and starts pushing her, her free hand laced with Mike's. They make it inside and head for a room, where they all can stay to watch the show. They of course get stopped by countless people. All of them gushing over Savvy. Then up ahead she can see Nattie talking to Tyson, and she smiles since she hasn't seen her in forever.
"Nattieeeeeeee." She sings loudly.
Once she hears her voice, she looks over and her face lights up. She squeals louldy and runs over, Aly laughs.
"It's great to see you too Nattie."
"What a surprise! I can't believe you're here, what, 4 days after giving birth?" She says after hugging her.
"I knew you wanted to see her before you guys moved on to the next city."
"Well of course."
"Well here she is." Aly smiles, moving the cover flap.
"Awwwww, she's so adorable!"
"Thank you."
"Who's eyes does she have?"
"Not sure yet. It'll be months before we're sure. Her eyes could change color. They're a pretty blue right now but all babies are born with blue eyes."
"Right."
Savvy stirs and her eyes flutter open.
"See?"
"Awwwwwww."
She sticks her binky back in and she dozes back off.
"She's too cute."
"I know."
"Mike's been nothing but adorable with her since she came home too."
"Oh I'm sure." Nattie smiles.
"She starts crying, he talks to her, and she calms down."
"Awwww."
"I knowww."
"He fell asleep with her on his chest the other day. I almost died from the cuteness." She adds.
"Did you take a picture?"
"Of course!"
"I wanna see!"
She laughs and gets out her phone, scrolling through the pictures.
"Ah, here it is."
She shows her the screen with a smile.
"Awwww."
"I know."
"Tons more to come too."
"Oh I'm sure."
"How has she been since you brought her home?" Nattie asks.
"She's been pretty good." She smiles, watching as Mike and Tyson talk.
"A little fussy here and there, but other than that okay." She adds.
"Aww that's good."
"It all has to do with Mike's voice. She almost calms down instantly."
"Awwwww how cute."
"I knowww."
"You want to hold her?" Aly asks.
"Really?"
"Yes really." She giggles, unzipping the cover and taking the light blanker off her legs.
She then unbuckles her and carefully gets her out. Nattie smiles as she watches her take her out of the carseat. Aly bouncers her lightly to make sure she stays asleep while Nattie snags the antibacterial stuff to clean her hands. Once Nattie is done, she carefully lays Savvy in her arms.
"Awww." She says quietly, smiling.
Aly giggles lightly.
"She's so cute."
"I know."
"She's so pretty too."
"Thank you."
"Probably won't be staying too long tonight." She adds.
"Of course."
"She's so vulnerable to sickness. But we wanted to come see you since you were too busy to make it out today."
"Right."
Aly gently rubs Savvy's cheek.
"I just can't believe this happened."
"I know. Its still sinking in. I'm a mom. Its weird."
"But you'll be a great mom."
"Thanks Nattie." Aly smiles.
"You're very welcome."
Savvy starts to squirm a little, her eyes opening up.
"Oh, someone's awake."
"Hi pretty girl." Aly says with a smile.
"You want to go back to your mom don't you?" Nattie asks.
Savvy whimpers. Nattie hands her over. Aly bounces her lightly.
"Might be getting hungry."
"Ah."
"We should be heading to that room now so we can watch some of the show at least, and so I can feed her."
"Alright. It was really great to see you guys."
"It was good to see you too."
"Mike...I think we should get to the room now...Savvy's getting hungry."
He nods and they say bye to Nattie and Tyson. Mike pushes the stroller while Aly carries Savvy.
"She's watching you." Aly giggles.
Mike chuckles and leans over, kissing her head.
"You're too cute Savvy."
"Mmhmm." Aly agrees.
They finally get to the room, and head in. Aly gets what she needs and sits down to get Savvy settled as she begins to get more fussy.
"I know, I know."
"You're hungry, I get it." She murmurs, laying her in her arms.
She gets her nursing and Mike helps by putting the nursing cover over her and securing it around her neck.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
He gives her a kiss and sits by her side, wrapping an arm around her. From there the show had started and a video package from what happened last week was shown. Daniel facing Show for the title. Also backstage, AJ saying that she loves Daniel. Match highlights and then we see that AJ was basically ran over by Show.
"Yikes. Poor girl."
"It's his fault for bringing her out there. At least when I brought you out with me, you were always safe."
"True."
"Unbelievable." Mike shakes his head.
"Yeah."
Daniel just so happens to be coming out to the ring.
"Here we go."
"Still a nerd." Mike mutters.
"He looks ridiculous with a beard."
"Can't pull it off."
"Nope."
"Tonight's television show is aptly named Sin City Smackdown. And that's not just because we're eminating from Las Vegas, but that's because it's exactly what Big Show did to my girlfriend AJ last week."
"How he managed to get one, I'll never know."
"Who knows."
"Nerd."
"Yes he is."
"He committed a sin. Big Show is 441 pounds, the world's largest athlete. My girlfriend AJ, a mere 95 okay? And just like I said Monday on Raw, bowling over AJ was not an accident, it was intentional."
"Doubt that."
"And Big Show, he was not sorry, he only pretended to be. And those tears? Those tears...those were not tears of sorrow, those were crocodile tears. Because you see Big Show...is bitter. He is bitter because his World Heavyweight Championship reign was the shortest in history. A mere 45 seconds! After I cashed in my Money in the Bank contract, and beat him for the World Heavyweight Championship, he never lived that down."
"He's starting to sound like you Mike."
"He can try but he'll never be me."
"Of course not."
"He is a bitter, selfish, vengeful, freak!" Daniel adds, taking a long pause.
"And because of that, my girlfriend AJ has suffered head trauma, a cervical sprain, and her career may very well be over."
"Poor girl."
"All because she insisted on being with me at ringside. And why would she do that? Why would she put herself in harms way? Because she loves me."
"Hmm, he probably has a point there."
"I have never had anyone say that to me before, she loves me. And I...I have a great admiration for her as well. Which is why Monday on Raw I dedicated my match to her. And I am going to do the same thing tonight. Because even though AJ is not here, in spirit...she will be in my corner. And as for the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry...I am not afraid. Just like I am not intimidated that acro-magalic swine Big Show, who by the way isn't even here tonight. Big Show isn't here tonight and it's a damn good thing, because I can not be held responisble for what I would do to him."
"Can't say I blame him."
"Big Show, I am pleading with you, I am pleading with you. For once...once in your life do the right thing before I have to unleash my fury on you okay? And before you inevitably hurt another innocent victim, Big Show do the decent thing...do the only thing and just quit!"\
"Good luck with that." Mike scoffs.
His music hits and he stands there in the ring with a smug look on his face, and even Cole, Booker and Josh disagree with Daniel. Then backstage, Alicia, Santino, Ezekiel and Hornswaggler were all playing a game, while Aksana was dressed up like a Vegas showgirl and standing with Teddy by the Roulette Wheel, and being all flirty with him.
"Ewwwwww."
"You would look better in one of those outfits." Mike looks at Aly, and she raises an eyebrow.
"You would think so. Don't get excited Lover Boy. Bedtime activities are restricted until my appointment and you know it."
"Oh I know...doesn't stop me from...thinking about it."
"True."
Teddy explains what the wheel is and what it's used for, telling her about certain matches and such. She suggests that she and him have a pillow fight match, and then someone clear their throat. The camera moves and it's Cody.
"I remember the wheel. My own brother Goldust, he spun the wheel...ended up in a...Vegas Showgirls match. Had an outfit just as...farcical as the one you're wearing Aksana. Point is...it was one of those times I realized I am probably the last hope for the Rhodes' family."
"Are you going to talk or spin?" Teddy asks, and Cody spins the wheel and it lands on 'Player's Choice'.
So he gets to pick his opponent for his match which is next...and he points over to Ezekiel, Santino, Hornswaggle and Alicia, Ezekiel turning around.
"Not you...I pick him." Cody points again and the camera zooms in on Santino, but he points down to Hornswaggle, the camera moving to him.
By the time all that was over, including the commercial break, Aly had finished nursing Savannah. Mike grabs a burp cloth and Aly takes it, cleaning her up before handing her and the cloth to him. He starts to pat her back to burp her while Aly fixes her stop and puts the nursing cover back into the diaper bag. After a bit, they both hear a burp come from her.
"There we go." Aly laughs.
"You can hold her for a while, I think that's what she wants." She tells him.
"Alright." Mike smiles, settling her on his chest.
Aly runs her hand over her head and kisses her forehead.
"I love you so much." She says to her.
"You too." She looks up at Mike, leaning in for a kiss.
"Love you too." He says, before kissing her.
She then snuggles into him. After the break was Cody's match against Hornswaggle. First Cody comes out and then Hornswaggle, and this match was totally unfair. The match doesn't even start yet and Cody rolls out of the ring, walking over to him and shoves him to the ground.
"That isn't fair."
But before the unfair assault could continue, Justin comes running out and goes right after Cody, coming to the aid of Hornswaggle.
"Finally someone helps him."
"Come on Cody, that's the match you chose? Why don't you pick on somebody your own size? Why don't you pick on somebody like uh...I don't know...me. Or would you rather do a Vegas Showgirl match, huh?"
"That...would be hilarious."
"Kind of awkward too."
"True."
So now it's Justin vs Cody, and it was a pretty decent match, only in the end Cody won.
"Oh well."
Backstage, Mark Henry was by the wheel, ready to spin for his match.
"Mark, I brought you in here so you could spin the wheel, to see what type of match you're going to have tonight for the world title."
"I can't believe you're doing this. Sin City Smackdown? That's got to be the worse concept I ever heard."
Then he blames Teddy for putting AJ in harms way and such. Teddy spins the wheel and the match for him against Daniel and Lumberjack match.
"Hmph. Lame."
After another break there was a promo about Wade, highlighting hs career from NXT till now. After that Epico and Primo and Rosa came out for a Tag Team Tornado match against the Usos.
"You know, we can leave when you feel like it." Mike says.
"Okay."
"Oh, looks like someone fell back asleep."
"Aww." Aly giggles.
"Looks so cute when she's sleeping."
"Mmhmm."
"Here, let's put her back in the seat."
"Or you could hold her. Up to you." She says when Mike hesitates.
"We can just put her back in the seat when we leave." She adds.
Mike nods.
"Gives you more daddy time with her."
He smiles and so does she.
"Can never have enough of that."
"Of course not."
The match was soon over and it was another break before another Royal Rumble match was played from the past. Sheamus was backstage and the wheel was spun, his match becoming a tables match with Wade. Then Brodus Clay came out as his new gimmick, the funkasauras for a dance off. It was a short entrance before another commercial break.
"Oh god...a dance off."
"Oh jeez."
"Excuse me!"
"No..."
"Excuse me! Lady luck is on my shoulders tonight and I am Brodus Clay's opponent in this dance off."
"Oh god no."
"Allow me to show all of you, how I can shake my thing. I wiggle when I walk and I jiggle when I groove, and I can make it sizzle when I move."
"Oh my god."
"And that is fo' shizzle. Hit my music."
"Never say that again."
"Ever."
The music starts and it's just horrible from start to finish.
"Pffft it looks like she's having a seizure."
"She's terrible, my god."
Then Brodus' music hits and the girls join in before Brodus.
"Yup she definitely loses."
"Uh yeah."
The crowd of course cheers louder for Brodus when asked who should win, that's when Vickie flips.
"Are you kidding me? No, I am the better dancer! I am the better dancer! Hit my music."
And again it looks like she's having a seizure.
"Terrible."
The music stops and Regal's plays and he walks out.
"Ms. Guerrero, as an English gentlemen, I can't allow this to happen. Please ladies and gentlemen, don't laugh at this poor, unfortunate lady."
"No."
"How dare you mock this buxom wench? Please...come with me." Regal says after getting into the ring and leading her out of it, then he leaves the ring, getting stopped by Brodus.
"Where do you think you're going sunshine? Let's see what you got. Or are you a funky chicken? Caw-caw, caw-caw. Funky chicken, caw-caw."
"He called her a wench." Aly snickers.
Regal changes his mind and gets into the ring.
"Hit my music."
"Oh lord."
"What...the hell...is that?" Mike says, cracking up at Regal's dancing.
"Shhh. You're going to wake her up." Aly giggles.
"I can't help it." Mike says quietly.
"I know, his dancing is funny."
The dancing ends abruptly when Brodus squashes him.
"My bad, somebody call his momma."
"Ewww."
"That was entertaining though."
"Yeah."
"I think I'm ready to go now though." She adds.
"Alright." Mike nods.
They get Savvy's jacket back on her and carefully put her in the car seat. She buckles her up and covers her legs with the thin blanket. Then she zips up the cover. Then they get their jackets on, making sure they had everything they brought before leaving. They get to the car and get Savvy in. Then Mike walks Aly to her car door. He stops her from opening t and she looks at him curiously. He leans her against the car and kisses her sweetly. She wraps her arms around his neck and brings him closer to her. After a bit, he pulls away and leans his forehead against yours.
"Just wanted to get a little moment in there before we left.
"Mmm. That was nice."
"I was going for that."
She steals another kiss.
"We should go. Time to get miss Jellybean in bed."
"Right. I'm sure you're tired yourself."
"A bit." She nods, leaning into him.
"Early night for you."
"Mmm." She agrees.
Then he opens her door for her.
"Thank you." She says as she gets in.
"You're welcome."
Then he goes around to the driver's side and gets in, starting the car and then heading home. They get home and take Savannah inside. Aly gets her out of the car seat and taks off everything but her onesie. She changes her diaper and makes sure she's asleep before taking her to the beroom. She lays her in the bassinet and covers her with a blanket.
"Night baby girl." Aly kisses her head.
"Daddy says goodnight too."
Aly smiles as Mike leans down to kiss her head. Then she goes to get changed for bed.
"If she wakes up during the night, I'll take care of her, you need your rest." Mike says as they both get changed for bed.
"She's going to need feeding. Its still too early to introduce her to a bottle." She reminds him.
"Then I'll wake you up. I just want you to rest as much as you can."
"I know."
"I'm trying to help n every way possible."
"I know you are. Thank you."
"That's what I'm here for."
She smiles and kisses him softly.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
He gets changed and they get into bed, snuggling.
"You can sleep, I'll fall asleep shortly after."
She nods and starts to doze off. And just like he said, he dozed off shortly after. In the meantime however, Alex and I had just gotten back to the hotel after going out for a bit.
"What would you like to do now?" Alex asks.
"I just want to relax, I've been having trouble sleeping since last Friday. I just can't get comfortable."
"I know. I hate that you have trouble sleeping."
"Not something I can control really."
"I know."
"I think trying to get comfortable now is the best idea."
"Alright."
"We can find a movie to watch or something too."
"Sure. Sounds good."
I go over to my things to find clothes to change into for bed, so that when I'm ready to sleep, I'll be all set. Alex does the same and we climb into bed, and I try to find a comfortable spot to lay. Alex tries to help, carefully shifting me.
"This is frustrating." I sigh.
"I'm sorry love."
"Not your fault."
"Well it kind of is..."
"Please don't start feeling bad."
"I'm not really trying to. I'm just saying."
"Well I've only got 10 more weeks left, then I don't have to worry about this."
"Then Liyah will finally be here."
"Mmhmm."
"I can't wait."
"Neither can I."
"She's going to be beautiful."
"Of course."
"I can't wait to see who she looks like."
"I still say she's gonna look like you." I say to him.
"We'll see." He chuckles.
After a while, I finally find a spot I'm comfortable in.
"Finally."
"Comfortable?"
"Yes."
"Good."
I then snuggle into him the best I can and we search for a movie to watch on tv.
"If you get tired, don't fight it." Alex says as he finds a movie.
"I know."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
After a while into the movie, I could feel myself wanting to sleep and started to doze off. I didn't try to keep myself awake like Alex told me, I kept my eyes closed and soon drifted off. Alex notices and smiles, kissing my head. He shuts off the tv and goes to sleep.
