Colby-

Triple H had said we did a great job. It was nice to say that after everything we've been through, I made the right choice in the end. We had a home here. Cora and I made a pact to not bring wrestling home with me or to discuss it while we were together.

"So maybe you can come down for a show?", I asked.

"Babe, you promised", she said.

"I know, but I want you to meet the guys", I said.

"I just don't get wrestling and I know you want me too, but", I stopped her.

"That's fine, but these guys and I have gotten so close and I would really like you to meet them", I said.

"When?", she asked.

"We have a show here in Florida in two weeks. I know Chris and Jason are finally coming down and so are your brothers, bring them", I said.

"My brothers always liked wrestling. Chris though, I'm not sure and I don't think Jason's coming with her just yet", she said.

"Hey, why are your brothers coming down? I mean, its a little strange", I said.

"Chris asked them too and I think I know why", she said.

"I meant to tell you, he already proposed but she said no", I said.

"That doesn't mean she said no this time", she said.

"Dean and Roman are single. Convince her and who knows, maybe she'll fall madly in love with one of them", I said.

She laughed.

"If only", she said.

"I know you were hoping for this Joe guy to still live here, but he's not here. We would have seen him by now or you", I said.

She nodded.

"Now let's go have dinner with your parents", I said.

She nodded and we got to her parents house. I grabbed her by her arm and pulled her in.

"Where did he live?", I asked.

She smiled and pointed to a house down the street.

"I remember this one time, my mom and I went to the store and when we got back, my mom told me to check on Chris. So I went and thinking she was asleep, I opened the door and found them together", she said giggling.

"Like asleep together or together together?", I asked.

"In the middle of it together", she said.

I laughed.

"After her treatments she couldn't leave the house much. They'd always sit on the porch and he'd make her laugh", she said.

"We should head inside", I said.

She nodded. Walking in, her parents were in the kitchen, her mom smiled.

"Hey you two, glad you could make it", her mom said.

"Wouldn't miss your cooking, Mrs. Mathews", I said.

She smiled.

"So Colby, how's everything with the Shield?", her dad asked.

"Good sir, Cora is finally going to a show", I said.

He laughed.

"Finally convinced her huh. Cora, you should try watching one time", her dad said.

"Why? I don't understand it", she said.

Her dad glanced at her mom, the look said they had a secret.

"This Roman fella, what's his real name?", her dad asked.

I was about to answer.

"Why do you want to know his real name?", Cora asked, while picking at a piece of cake.

I looked back at her dad. He shrugged.

"Just looks familiar that's all", he said.

Cora's phone started ringing and she left to answer it. I looked at her dad.

"Why do I have a feeling something's going on?", I asked.

"Just getting everything ready for when Chris comes home and her big news", her mom said.

"You wouldn't happen to know what that news is?", I asked.

They shook their heads.

"Do you?", he asked.

"No", I said.

Cora came back and we ate dinner. Her dad took a phone call real quick.

"Well we should be heading home. I still have to pack for this weekend", I said.

We stood and headed for the door. Her dad came back and frowned.

"Leaving? Why don't you stay a little longer?", he asked.

"Sorry dad, maybe next week. I need to spend time alone with him now before he leaves me", Cora said.

Her dad looked disappointed, but nodded.

"Goodnight", I said, hugging both of them.

"Goodnight, I love you both", her mom said.

Joe-

Heading to Chris's house like I always did when I was home.

"Where we going daddy? To see grandma?", Ella asked.

"No baby, we're gonna visit Mr. and Mrs. Mathews", I said.

"I like them", she said.

I turned the corner to our street and a car that looked like Seth's passed. I looked back and watched it, shaking my head. Her parents were outside.

"Hey", they said.

"Hi, we just wanted to stop by and see you", I said.

Ella got off and ran to Mrs. Mathews.

"Hi sweetheart, you're in luck I just made chocolate chip cookies", she said to Ella.

Ella went inside with her. I smiled.

"How about a beer Joe?", he asked.

I nodded. He went inside and brought out two beers.

"How are things Joe?", he asked.

"Good. Working hard and just excited to be spending time with Ella", I said.

"Anyone new in your life?", he asked.

"No sir, no time", I said.

He chuckled.

"You should start making time", he said.

"I thought I was your son in law, now you want me to start dating", I said, taking a drink of my beer.

"You are son", he said.

I played with the bottle.

"How is she?", I asked.

"She's good. Doesn't really talk to us much, we go by what Cora tells us", he said.

I nodded.

"I should have never left that day, Jesse's wedding", I said.

"She waited for you", he said.

I looked at him.

"I was afraid", I said.

"That's understandable", he said.

"I still love her", I said.

He smiled.

"I was hoping you would say that", he said.
