Chapter 19:

A/N: Wow! The last chapter seemed pretty popular and I'm so glad to be hearing from some new voices. Please keep the reviews coming!

We've only just begun! ;)

'He found her most beautiful not when she was all fancied up, but when she wasn't. When she was lying on the carpet, her hair all a mess, laughing about something that had happened years ago. When she wasn't trying to impress anyone and taken down that wall that she had built for most people. That's when he couldn't take his eyes off of her.'

After dancing for a while, Jon kept his fingers laced with Allie's as they moved away from the designated dance floor and walked towards the bar. "What would you like to drink, baby?" Jon asked her as they reached the bar.

"Just a beer, please" Allie smiled at him.

"That's my girl," Jon chuckled, making Allie's heart flip at his words, causing her smile to broaden and a blush to fill her face. Jon retrieved the beers and handed one to Allie, before taking her hand again and leading her towards the house. "Wanna give me the tour?"

"Sure," she agreed, leading him into the house. They entered into the large Tuscan kitchen and walked through to two large double doors. Managing to open them bottle, while juggling her beer, Allie showed Jon into the large private formal dining room, that matched the decor of the kitchen. Large windows lined the opposite and one adjacent walls and at the back of the room was an entrance to a balcony. "I rarely use this room," Allie said bringing his attention back to her. "Usually just during the holidays."

Jon nodded, before taking one last look at the room before following Allie back into the kitchen. After closing the doors behind him, Allie moved them out of the kitchen and into the formal living room. She smiled seeing Moxley curled up on one of the couches, sound asleep. "This is mostly for entertaining for when I use the parlor," she said, moving to another set of large double doors and pushing them open, "which is through here."

Jon grinned broadly, making his way passed her into the elegant parlor. Jon took in the room as he walked around it. The room was painted a deep wine color, with natural wood floors and furniture. There was a large natural wood bar against one wall with four bar stools in front of it. The wall behind the bar was filled with shelves if different liquor. The sitting area was furnished with a large coffee table, surrounded by grey colored plush furniture.

Walking up to Jon, Allie took his hand and walked him towards the back wall, where there was a set of wood sliding doors. Pushing a button next to it, Allie watched as Jon face lit up in surprise as the doors opened to reveal a small elevator. Stepping inside, Allie pulled Jon with her, before pushing one of two buttons inside the compartment. As the doors slid shut, Allie leaned against the elevator wall, wrapping her arms around Jon's neck, the beer bottle dangling from her fingers and pulled him into a kiss.

Pulling back, Jon rested his forehead against hers, his eyes full of lust. "I just want you to know," he husked out, licking his lips and pressing himself further into her, "that when we're ready to take that step, I will have you on every imaginable surface of this house."

Allie bit back a moan, but before she could respond, the doors of the elevator slid open. Jon pressed another light kiss to her lips, before they walked out of the compartment and into the room in front of them. Looking around the room, Jon stopped suddenly, realizing where he was. Turning to Allie, he saw her smile, before pulling him along the corridor.

"I have about 500 bottles of wine down here," she told him as they explored the cave like wine and spirits cellar. "I have quite the collection of champagne and spirits too."

"I can see this," Jon said with a smile, still gazing around in wonder at the beautiful cellar. Stepping up to an antique box, on display sitting on its own stand, Jon looked inside. "What are these?"

"Those," Allie smiled, stepping up beside him and picking up one of the five bottles out of the box, "are my prized vintages. All five were made the year I was born."

"What's the point of having booze you can't drink?" Jon smirked, taking the bottle and looking it over.

Allie giggled, "They are for drinking. Just reserved for very special occasions." Pointing to the bottle Jon was holding. "That bottle cost $1300.00."

Jon's eyes widened, before carefully placing the bottle back in the case, now acting like he was afraid to touch it. "$1300.00? Why the hell would you spend so much on a bottle of wine?"

Allie laughed, as she took his hand and lead him to one of the walls racked with bottles. "Want to pick one that we can share later?"

Jon nodded and glanced around the rack, seeing one that caught his eye. Pulling it out of the rack gently, he took a moment to look it over, before turning and handing it to Allie. She chuckled looking at the bottle.

"What?" He asked, giving her a confused look.

"Nothing," she smiled, gazing up at him and handing him back the bottle. "You have expensive taste."

"What do you mean?" Jon confusion deepening, glancing down at the bottle again.

"That my love, is a Domaine De La Romancee Conti Montrachet 1999," she purred out to him.

"Mmm... say it again, baby," Jon husked out to her, pulling her closer.

Allie hummed softly, before breathing out into his ear, "Domaine De La Romancee Conti Montrachet." She felt Jon shutter against her as she pulled back slowly and pressed a light kiss to his neck, making him groan. She pulled back to meet his gaze, seeing the lust had returned. Jon watched her lips as she licked them slowly, before speaking again, "You've chosen a $4800.00 bottle of wine."

"What?!" Jon exclaimed, jumping back slightly, hearing Allie laugh while he looked down at the bottle as if trying to understand why it would cost so much. "Is there a fucking gold bar inside here or something?"

"Nope," Allie said simply, leaving him baffled, while taking the bottle and planting a firm kiss to his lips. Pulling back, she finished her beer and motioned towards the elevator. "We better head back up. The guests will be leaving soon."

"What about the rest of my tour?" Jon asked as they stepped inside the elevator and he pressed her against the wall again.

"We can continue later," Allie hummed, against his lips. She still couldn't believe this was real. That he was here and he was hers. The two continued to kiss until the elevator opened and they stepped out into the parlor.

"There you are," Steph said smiling, as they approached the entrance to terrace. "Everyone's been looking for you. Some of the guests are getting ready to leave."

"Are we boarding anyone tonight?" Allie asked, as they followed Steph back outside.

"Yes," Steph answered. "Joe and I are staying in one room. Colby, Jon, Sami, Mark and Michelle, Stephanie and Hunter, Punk, and Glenn will be occupying the others."

Allie turned to Jon and gave him an adorable pouty look, "You're not gonna stay with me?"

"Do you want me to stay with you?" Jon asked, giving her a sweet smile. Allie bit her lip and nodded, as he pulled her into his side. "Then I will." Allie smiled brightly, as they continued out into the crowd of people.

Allie began thanking and saying goodbye to those who were leaving and before long all that was left were the people who were staying at the house. She and Steph headed into the house while everyone else headed out to collect their bags from their cars. After scooping up Moxley from his place on the couch, she took him outside to do his business before they headed up to her room.

Once reaching her room, she placed him on the bed, watching as he curled back up and fell asleep, before gathering up a change of clothes and heading into the bathroom. She took her hair out of the pins and washed her face, ridding it of all the makeup. After dressing in a long Shield t-shirt, brushing her teeth and brushing out her long blonde hair, so the soft curls fell over one shoulder, she walked back out into the bedroom.

Pulling the door shut behind her, she saw Jon setting his bags down by her dresser. As he stood back up, he took in her natural appearance with an appreciative look, his eyes lingering on her long legs. "That's the sexiest lingerie I've ever seen," Jon smiled at her, slowly making his way towards her.

"Oh, yea?" Allie chuckled lightly, as Jon reached her and wrapped her tightly in his arms.

"You looked absolutely gorgeous tonight, baby," Jon said honestly, running his nose against hers, "but right now, like this, is the most beautiful I've ever seen you."

Allie felt her face heat with a blush, "Thank you." Jon continued to hold her for several minutes, running his nose along her nose, cheeks, and jawline, occasionally placing a light kiss along the way. Allie felt her body tingle, holding onto him tightly. "I'm so glad you're here," she hummed out softly.

"Me too," he breathed out, his lips grazing hers. Pulling back slowly, Jon met her eyes, "I'm gonna go change. Meet me in bed?" Allie nodded, pulling out of his arms reluctantly, after he placed a kiss to her lips. She watched him gather a change of clothes, before he disappeared into the bathroom.

While he was changing, Allie snuggled into her large king sized bed, being careful not to disturb Moxley. She laid on her back, waiting for Jon to return, but could feel her eyes getting heavy and let them flutter shut.

After a few moments, she felt a strong muscular arm wrap around her and pull her into a warm, solid chest. She hummed softly, feeling Jon bury his face into her hair and inhale deeply. "You always smell so good, baby. Your scent calms me."

Allie turned in his arms to face him, lifting a hand to his face and running her fingers along his stubbled jawline. "You calm me," she whispered out to him, keeping her eyes on his. Jon smiled and pulled her flush against him, ravaging her mouth with his.

They continued to enjoy and explore each other's mouths until exhaustion from the last two months and the relief tonight had brought, began to wash over them. Before long, Jon had settled on his back with Allie sprawled against him. Her head and left hand were rested against his chest and one of her long legs draped across him. She could feel the steady beat of his heart and allowed it to lull her into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning, Jon was the first to wake up, from the messy laps of Moxley's tongue against his face. He chuckled quietly, still feeling the weight of Allie against him and lightly pushed the puppy away. Eyes still closed, he smiled and gave out a relieved sigh, that it all hadn't been a dream. She was here, finally in his arms. Where he always hoped she would be.

Looking down at his beautiful blonde, Jon leaned down and kissed her head. Deciding to surprise her with a breakfast in bed, Jon slowly untangled himself from her reluctantly. Amazingly she never stirred, as Jon slid off the bed and pulled on a pair of gym shorts, before picking up Moxley and heading downstairs.

He walked into the kitchen and saw that Colby, Joe, Steph, Sami, Mark and Michelle were already up and having breakfast. "Morning," he murmured to the group, getting a round of 'mornings' in return, as he set Moxley down on the floor. Colby stood, giving him a smile and a light clap on the back, before scooping up Moxley and taking him outside.

"Where's the princess?" Joe asked, sipping at his coffee. Jon couldn't fight the smile that spread across his face at the thought of the beautiful woman he had given his heart to.

"Still asleep," Jon answered, moving over towards the fridge and pulling it open. He began pulling out eggs, turkey bacon, and fruit so he could start on making her breakfast. "What all should I make her for breakfast?" He asked in Steph and Sami's direction.

Steph stepped over towards him and gave him a smile, "Well, she's not big on breakfast, so I would keep it simple." She looked around at what he had gathered from the fridge and nodded. "Scrambled egg whites, turkey bacon, and some fruit will be perfect."

"And for the love of God," Sami chimed in from one of the island stools. "Don't forget the coffee!"

Everyone chuckled, as Jon got out a bowl to put the egg whites in. "I was gonna serve her breakfast in bed. Does she have a tray table?" Steph nodded and walked over to retrieve it. Setting it out on a counter, she began placing items on it while Jon started cooking.

By the time they were finished, Jon had a lovely tray setting for his beautiful lady. The food was surrounded by a porcelain tea pot, filled with coffee, Allie's favorite flavored creamer, orange juice, and a single red rose that laid across the tray. After setting a plate of scrambled eggs on the floor for Moxley, Jon smiled his thanks at Steph, lifting up the tray and headed back towards Allie.

"Careful, man," he heard Mark's voice tell after him. "Rookie can be a real grizzly bear before her morning cup of coffee. Just fair warning." Jon merely chuckled as he continued walking.

Entering the bedroom, Jon could see Allie was still snuggled up under the covers asleep. Setting the tray down on the ottoman at the end of the bed, he then crawled up the bed and leaned over her. He lowered his lips to her neck and began placing light nibbles and kissed across it, making Allie begin to stir.

"Mmmm?" He heard her sleepy voice sound, continuing on his journey down her neck.

"Wake up, baby," Jon murmured, right below her ear, making her shift her body a little.

"Mmmm," he heard her mumble again, before he felt her growl and push him lightly away. "Go away."

Jon chuckled at her grumpy voice. "I have food," he murmured again, pressing himself back against her. She grumbled again, trying to roll over away from him, but was stopped by his strong arm wrapping around her waist. "And coffee."

She rolled over and cracked an eye open slowly to look at him, "I know, I can smell it. I'm trying to figure out why it isn't in my hand yet."

Jon found himself smiling at her tone, "Well, Mark wasn't kidding."

Allie gave him a funny look, before continuing, "About what?"

"You're a grizzly bear in the morning before you've had your coffee," Jon said, tapping her on the nose, earning an annoyed growl from her. Smiling broadly, Jon stood up from the bed and retrieved the tray from the ottoman.

Turning back towards her, he saw she was now sitting up and she looked adorably wild, with unkempt hair that quaffed around her head and a grumpy face. Walking to her, he placed the tray across her legs and watched as her face softened as she looked at it. Reaching across the tray as he sat down beside her, Jon picked up the rose and handed it to her, placing a soft kiss to her cheek.

Jon saw a smile brighten her face looking at the rose, as she sighed. Moving her gaze to him, she leaned forward and place a kiss to his lips. "Thank you, baby," she hummed as she pulled back. "This was very sweet of you."

"Anything for my baby," Jon smiled, kissing her lips again. As Allie sat the rose down and began eating her breakfast, Jon poured her a cup of coffee, fixing it up just the way she liked it.

"Will you come with me to the store to get stuff for Moxley," Allie asked, taking a sip of her coffee.

"Sure," Jon nodded, stealing a piece of her bacon. "If you want me to."

"I think it's only right for his daddy to go with him to get all his puppy needs," Allie smiled over the brim of her cup.

Jon chuckled, "His daddy, huh?"

"Well, yea," Allie answered, as they finished off the fruit together. "He is partially yours. You adopted him after all."

"Fair enough," Jon nodded, still chuckling, as Allie clapped her hands excitedly. "Can we go after the gym?" Allie nodded. "Where's the closest one?"

"Oh," Allie beamed at him, "not to far. Let's get changed and we can head over."

Jon collected the tray table and set it back on the ottoman, before the two changed into gym attire. "We should probably make a vet appointment for Moxley while we're at it," Allie said, stepping out of the bathroom after changing.

"Already taken care of," Jon said over his shoulder, as he dug through his bag for a pair of socks. "There are vet papers and tags for him in that paper work that was sent over with him. I made sure he was all squared away before you got him."

"Cool," Allie smiled. She walked behind Jon and wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing herself into his back. "Have I thanked you for making my birthday so amazingly beautiful?"

Jon turned in her arms with a big smile, "Yes, but you're welcome to thank me however, whenever, and as many times as you want." Jon pulled her tightly against him as she gave him a deep kiss. Pulling back, Jon gave her a devilish look, "I'm all for saying, fuck the gym, and getting our workout in right here."

Allie gasped and shrieked against his lips after he reconnected them and lifted her up by the back of her thighs, wrapping her legs around his waist. Jon kissed her feverishly as he began walking them back towards the bed and laying her against it.

Allie moaned against his lips as he deepened the kiss pushing his talented tongue into her mouth. Their tongues continued to duel as Allie moved one hand up into his hair, while the other slid under his shirt and across his back. A throaty groan sounded from Jon when Allie's hand slid back down his back and just inside the waistband of his shorts.

"Mmm, fuck, baby," Jon said, nipping at her lips. Allie could feel Jon beginning to harden against her, while slipping her hand around to his front and slid the tips of her fingers back inside his gym shorts. She felt and heard him growl against her lips, moaning in return as he bucked against her and moved his right hand under her shirt and gripped her left breast.

"Oh, Jon," Allie whimpered out when they reluctantly broke the kiss, both of them in need of air as they both gasped for it harshly. Jon buried his face into Allie's neck sucking and biting at it harshly. Allie's breathing hitched, while her fingers began sliding further inside his shorts, making him moan.

"HEEEEEEYYYYYYY!" A loud banging at her bedroom door, accompanied the loud yell, making both Allie and Jon jump. "You have guests you inconsiderate ass! Get the hell off Jon's dick and get downstairs!"

Allie groaned in embarrassment, trying to hide her face in Jon's neck. Jon chuckled as he yelled back towards the door, "Fuck off, Sami! You fucking cockblock!"

"You guys can feel each other up later, Casanova!" Sami yelled back through the door. When he didn't hear anything, he banged on the door again. "Leeeeettttssss gooooooo!"

"Alright!" Allie yelled back, reluctantly pushing Jon back so she could stand up. "I hate that kid," she said to Jon, making him laugh.

"I heard that, you slut," Sami yelled through the door, clearly still standing there.

"Good! Serves you right for listening, you creepy little perv," Jon was laughing even harder listening to the two best friends bicker playfully.

"Well you should know better. When you have guests, it's not the best time for the white rabbit to disappear down the rabbit hole!" Jon lost it on that one, collapsing on the bed in a fit of laughter that made Allie smack his ass. There was another loud banging on the door, making Allie growl in frustration.

"I swear to God, you little shit," Allie yelled, making her way towards the door. "You have to be the biggest, most annoying, pain in the ass that has ever walked this earth." Allie continued as she reached the door and swung it open. "I'm gonna hit you so hard into next week, that-"

Allie stopped mid threat, when she looked up and realized that it was no longer Sami at the door. "What's that now, Rookie?" Mark had an amused look on his face, his large arms folded across his chest. Allie looked horror stricken for a moment before she caught movement behind Mark. She saw Sami there with a devilish grin on his face, standing tall and tough with Mark between them. She shot him a glare and gave him the cut throat sign, making her intentions clear.

Turning her attention back to Mark, she felt Jon walk up behind her and slip an arm around her waist. "I just wanted to double check on dinner tonight. Michelle and I have a later flight, so I thought we could do an early dinner."

Allie nodded, "That sounds good to me. Where do you want to go?"

"Up to you, Rook," Mark said with a shrug. He then look towards Jon and gave him a nod. "You're welcome to come along, Kid."

"Thank you," she heard Jon answer, with a tone that almost sounded surprised at the offer. "I'd like that."

"Alright, then. We'll see you both later then," with that Mark walked away, opening the barrier between Allie and Sami. Sami gave her his best innocent smile, before taking off down the stairs, with Allie hot on heels, yelling after him. Jon chuckled, shaking his head, as he headed down the stairs behind them.

We he reached the bottom of the stairs he found them in the living room. Jon couldn't help but laugh at the image before him. Allie had wrestled Sami to the ground and now had him in The Kat's Eye, while Moxley stood in front of him licking at his face rapidly.

"That's it boy," Allie egged him on, while Sami laughed and struggled against her. "Lick him into submission." Allie looked up when she saw Jon's legs walk in front of them.

Leaning down, he picked up Moxley, who turned his loving kisses to Jon. "I don't think so," he said to Allie, who looked at him confused. "No way are you using the baby to help you fight your battles."

"It was a pack instinct," Allie defended. "He could smell the injustice and was trying to cleanse Sami of His corruption. Right buddy?" she asked looking up at the little fur ball in Jon's arms, who yipped at her in response. "See? Little hound of justice."

Jon just rolled his eyes and smiled, before walking away from the two struggling against each other on the floor. Walking into the kitchen, he saw that Joe, Colby, and Steph were the only ones left in there.

"Where is everyone?" He asked setting Moxley down, who scampered over to Colby and sat his feet.

"Steph, Hunter, Glenn and Punk all had to leave," Colby answered, picking up Moxley. "Mark and Michelle went out for a while."

"Puppy magnet," Steph laughed, nudging Colby. "Moxley apparently has a favorite uncle." Everyone chuckled as Moxley licked at Colby's face lovingly.

"He's spoiled already," Jon groaned jokingly. "Although it was bound to happen with his mother being how she is."

"Hey!" They turned to see Allie and Sami walking into the kitchen. "I heard that." Jon just smirked and shrugged in her direction, as she walked over towards Colby and ruffled at Moxley's fur. "Daddy's just jealous, because you love Mommy and Uncle Colby more."

"I only adopted him," Jon chuckled, and pointed at Moxley. "Watch," he said winking at Allie. "Hey, squirt." He said in Moxley's direction. "Come 'ere." Everyone smiled as Moxley quickly scrambled off Colby's lap and darted clumsily over to Jon. He sat himself at Jon's feet, looking up at him expectantly with his cute little tail going a mile a minute. Jon crouched down and scratched him behind his ears in approval. "See?" He winked at Allie again, "He knows."

Allie just laughed and shook her head, before addressing everyone. "Who wants to hit the gym?" Everyone raised their hand and stood up to get ready.

"How many cars are we taking?" Colby asked, grabbing a water from the fridge.

"None," Allie answered with a smile, that matched Sami and Steph's. The three members of The Shield watched as Allie walked over to the wall where she had many cook books sitting on a shelf. She placed a finger on the one that was titled, 'The Secret Ingredient' and pulled it back slightly, the men jumping when a part of the floor by the island popped out of place.

Allie walked over to it and raised it open, revealing a spiral staircase. "Stay close to zee candles, the staircase can be treacherous" Allie smirked, before disappearing down the stairs. Hearing a loud, "Blucher!" yelled down the stairs. "Gold star to Colby for getting the reference!" Allie yelled back up the stairs.

Once everyone had made it down the staircase, now standing in front of a big wooden door, Allie turned to the group. "My dear friends, you are now about to enter the nerve center to the entire Wonka factory. Inside this room, all of my dreams become realities. And some of my realities become dreams."

With that she pushed the door open and allowed them all to walk inside. The three Shield boys stood stock still in shock taking in the vast room around them. Allie's personal gym wasn't anything less than complete.

She had every piece of imaginable workout equipment ranging from weight lifting to crossfit. A huge indoor pool was off to one side and next to it appeared to be a sauna and hot tub. On the far side of the room, honorably displayed, was an authentic WWE ring. The walls around them were a lilac color and written boldly along them in edgy black script were the words: Discipline Dedication Determination. One of the words stretched across each of three walls.

"There's three different entrances to the gym. The kitchen, through my room, and in my office. The office entrance will also take you past the bat cave," Allie said, as she moved towards the stereo and turned it on.

"The bat cave?" Jon asked, as he stepped up next to her. She smiled after choosing her playlist and getting the music started.

"It's my private movie theatre," Allie giggled at his wide eyes expression. "It's designed to look like the bat cave." Jon simply chuckled, shaking his head. He placed a peck to her lips, before heading off to start working out.

The group stayed and worked out for quite a while. They had all enjoyed taking turns in the ring against each other. Sami and Allie had been the most entertaining to watch for more humorous reasons. Allie's attempts to take it seriously had faltered when Sami began doing things intentionally to make her botch.

After several intentional trip ups and slaps to the ass, Joe had slid into the ring quietly behind Sami, lifting him into the air. A not so masculine screech sounded from Sami making everyone laugh out when Joe tossed him over the top rope. Colby jumped up on the ring apron, before running across the ring and diving over the top rope into Sami. Colby then quickly picked him up and tossed him back into the ring, where he was picked up by Jon and before he could react was hit with Dirty Deeds. Allie smiled at Jon, before rolling Sami up for a three count by Steph.

After they were all done working out, they split up to head to their different rooms to shower and change. Joe, Colby, Steph, and Sami had all decided to stay in and order take out, just wanting some relaxing time. Meanwhile, Allie and Jon headed out to meet Mark and Michelle for dinner.

"I have to tell you, Rookie," Mark spoke up, after Jon had excused himself from the table to the restroom. "I had my doubts about these kids, but you once again have proven me wrong."

Allie smiled at her mentor, "You'd think you would have learned not to doubt me by now." Mark and Michelle both chuckled.

"Maybe so," Mark nodded, "but you have found a very rare breed in talent. I don't think I've ever seen a team work as well together as they do. They have quite the future ahead of them."

"I think that's something you should be telling them," Allie smiled, as she lift her glass of wine to her lips. "That's always been the right of passage. Getting the nod from The Undertaker."

"In time," Mark smiled, sitting back in his chair. "But for now I'm praising you. You've done excellent work for this team."

"They are the ones responsible for the success they've had Mark," Allie shook her head. She appreciated his words, but felt the compliments were misplaced. "I've only provided the corporate muscle. This group wouldn't have succeeded with any other trio or if one of them hadn't been involved. It takes all three. They are The Shield. No one could replace them."

Mark smiled and nodded, impressed and proud of his rookie's maturity and pride in her team. "I agree," he spoke after a few moments. "I also wanted you to know that, even though my approval doesn't mean much in this category, I think you found a real winner in Good. He's a good kid and I like how he treats you. I know it's new and kind of early to be passing on my approval, but I think he's a genuine keeper, Al." Michelle nodded her agreement of Mark's statement.

Allie found herself beaming at two of her closest friends, feeling tears coming to her eyes. "I know you hate when I say this, but you've always been like a second father to me. You mean the world to me and your approval means the world to me. I'd be lost without you, Mark and knowing that you not only like Jon, but approve of him, makes me unbelievably happy. Your approval is the only one I've ever really cared about getting, Sensei." A few moments later, Jon returned and the group settled into casual conversation.

After a nice dinner at a local steak and seafood house, Jon and Allie returned home quickly, knowing there was a plan to put into action. While Jon headed off to collect his fellow Shield members and Steph, Allie went to find Sami. Finding him in his room, she smiled at him, "Hey, wanna take a walk with me?" Sami nodded, as he stood from the bed and followed Allie out the bedroom door and down the front stairs.

"I'm glad you came to see me for my birthday, kiddo," Allie said as she and Sami entered her large office. "I was planning on flying out to see you this Friday. You saved me the trip." Her wrestling memorabilia decorated the office on a large scale, including a glass case that held her replica titles. Sami saw that The Shield and Steph were already in the room, lounging in her plush office furniture.

Steph and Joe were cuddled up on the couch with Moxley laying on the opposite end, while Colby sat in a rather comfortable looking arm chair. Jon was seated at her large antique looking, L-shaped mocha cherry wood desk, leaning back in her plush high back leather desk chair with his feet propped up. Allie moved towards him, giving him a raised eyebrow and getting a smirk in return.

Jon removed his feet from the desk and swiveled slightly, pulling Allie down into his lap. Allie giggled, while watching Sami take a seat across from them, next to Colby.

"So is this, like, a team meeting or something?" Sami asked, making everyone chuckle.

"Something like that," Allie answered, while reaching into a drawer beside her and pulling out a black leather folder. She tapped her index finger lightly against it, before stretching forward and laying it in front of Sami. "I'm sorry it took so long, Sami."

Sami looked between her and the folder confused, before slowly reaching for the folder and flipping it open. Sami's eyes widened taking in the script on the page before him. His eyes darted instantly to Allie, seeing a wide smile on hers and Jon's faces, as he looked to her for confirmation, not believing what was laying before him. Allie simply nodded at him, his breath catching in his throat, before looking back to the folder:

'World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.

This contract stands as a written agreement between World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. and Mr. Sam Johnston, for terms of employment of developmental talent for two years from date of signature by Mr. Johnston and a World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. talent relations representative.'

"You're the first of my hand picked talent that I've been able to be present for their signing," Allie said, drawing Sami's attention away from the contract.

"I've been waiting my whole life for this," Sami said through stuttered breath. "I can't believe this is real. Thank you, Al."

"You deserve it, buddy," Jon spoke up, still smiling broadly. "You're one of the best talents in the Indy circuit right now."

Sami smiled, as he slowly reached for the pen Allie was holding out to him. Taking it he, he read through the contract carefully, but knowing that Allie would have seen to the details for him, trusting her completely. Putting the pen to the signature line, he took a deep breath, before scribbling his signature down with a shaky hand. He placed the pen down on the folder, then slid it towards Allie, who turned it towards her and picked up the pen and signed her name on the representative line.

Closing the folder, Allie stood and walked around the desk, reaching her hand out towards Sami, who took it, shaking her hand, before Allie pulled him into a tight hug. "Welcome to the WWE, Kiddo."

A/N: Yay Sami! I just need to say how much I absolutely, positively adore Sami Callihan. He just really seems like someone I would love to hang out with. So sorry for the delay! Had a tough couple weeks, but here's your update. Hope you enjoyed! Please excuse any grammar and spelling mistakes. I did a quick look at it, but was eager to get it posted. Please keep the wonderful reviews coming! They really keep me motivated!

Ps: I'm choosing to ignore what happened on Monday. I'm hoping that will make it go away! Ugh... My boys! :(
