*Thank-you for the reviews on the last chapter they were greatly appreciated. Thank-you so much*

I make my way out into the empty arena that will be filled with fans in the next couple hours in Miami, Florida. I take a seat in one of the chairs as I look out over the ring and see what it's like from a fan's prospective. Many superstars gather into the arena during their off time before fans arrive to get a feel of the arena and its atmosphere. I take in the sight before me as I rest my feet on the chair in front of me. I think back to my short time in the ring. It was unforgettable to perform in front of a nearly sold out crowd all chanting my name and calling out my name as I won my very first Diva's championship. I wanted to change the business. I wanted to change the face of women's wrestling. I wanted to be more than a diva and I realize in my time outside the ring the divas division is no longer the divas division but the women's division on both Raw and Smackdown. A revolution started the night I debuted in WWE and it continued to grow without me. The revolution became something bigger and I sat on the sidelines watching the girls I worked with in NXT make a difference. I'm proud of them and I'm happy for them but I wish I could have been a part of it, I wish I could be Women's champion just once or to wrestle in front of a live crowd just one more time but the dreams of being a women's wrestler are over. I have something else to look forward to and I have something else to make a difference in and that's my children's lives. "Willow," says a woman's voice from behind me.

I turn and see one of my best friend's Bayley standing next to me. "Hey, Bayley," I say.

"Hey, I didn't know you were going to be here. How have you been, how's the knee?"

"It's pretty healed up," I answer as she takes a seat next to me. "I'm good to go."

"Does that mean you're getting back in the ring, a match between you and I would be epic," she says with a smile and I feel a little hurt realizing that match between Bayley and I will never happen.

"No," I say, "I'm not getting back in the ring."

"What?" she asks.

"You'll find out soon enough."

"How is everything since, you know," she starts to ask as if she's uncomfortable asking me about Koa.

"It's been kind of crazy, it was hard for a long time but we're both healing now," I answer her.

"That's good. I'm happy to hear that. I can't even imagine so what are you doing here tonight?"

"I have a meeting with Carrano and I wanted to see Joe in action. I have missed coming to shows. I just wanted to feel the energy again."

"A meeting with Carrano? That doesn't sound good?"

"It depends how you look at it. I'm going to ask for my release," I say.

"You're what?" she looks shocked, the sound of her voice is shock like she can't believe what I am saying. "Why?"

"Personal reasons," I answer not giving much more information. "I have been thinking about my future and everything I want. I love wrestling but I don't have the same love for it. I don't have the same passion for it as I did before. I want to have kids and I want to be a mom. I want my future to be about my children not about wrestling in the ring. As much as I love WWE I am going to walk away for what I want with my future. I have always wanted to be a WWE superstar and I got that dream but I have other dreams, bigger dreams."

"I understand all that," she says. "You need to do what's going to make you happy."

"I know," I say. "I want to go stand in the ring for the last time," I say with a smile. "You coming with me?"

"Sure," says Bayley as we get up and walk down the stairs of the arena and make our way to the floor. I step off the last step and make my way through the chairs that have been set up for the WWE universe and make my way to the barricade. I climb over the unpadded barricade and Bayley follows me. I make my way up the stairs and climb into the ring. I walk around taking in the moment, looking out to where the audience will be sitting in just a couple hours. I imagine standing in front of the crowd, imagine they're calling my name and my eyes fill up with tears. My time with WWE was short but it is an experience I will never forget and it was an experience that helped changed my life. Wrestling was my first love, my first passion. I used to get into the ring with my dad all the time when I was little, we would play wrestling and he would always let me win the match. I smile at the memories. It was watching him do what he does that made me become a wrestler. It was in my blood but my love for it is not the same as his. "You're going to miss this aren't you?" asks Bayley.

"Yeah," I say leaning against the ropes. "I'm going to miss the bumps, the rope burn, the fans, I'm going to miss it all but this is what I need to do. I wanted to be part of the women's revolution but you guys evolved without me, you moved on. I learned the business doesn't wait. It's not going to wait for me. And I don't know if or when I would be back."

"You can always come back," she says.

"We'll see," I say leaving it in the air between us as I take in the feel of the ring one more time before I make my way to the back to meet up with Carrano.

I make my way to the back and run into Joe as he is talking to his friend Seth. He stops and looks at me. "I'll talk to you later," he says to Seth.

"See you later, Man," says Seth before Joe starts walking with me taking my hand into his, lacing our fingers together.

"You ready to do this?" he asks.

"I guess I am. I think I'm ready to do this," I answer him as I look up at him and stare into his dark brown eyes. "You really need to shave."

"I'll get around to it," he smiles. "Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, I want to do this myself. I have to do this myself. I told my dad the same thing. It might be easier that way."

"Probably," he says, "but if you need me I'll be right there."

"I know, Baby," I say as I rub his arm. "I know you will, you always are."

"Because I love you."

"I love you too," I smile. "Bayley and I were talking in the arena earlier."

"The arena?"

"Yeah, I just wanted one last chance to feel the arena and be in the ring. I'm going to miss it but Bayley told me I should be happy and she's right I should be happy. And nothing makes me happier than being your wife and being the mother of your children. I am happy, this life makes me happy, Joe. You're the best thing to ever happen to me."

He smiles and kisses the top of my head. "I love you too, and you make me the happiest man alive. I'm glad I can call you my wife and honored you're the mother of my children. We're going to have some beautiful children."

"Yes we are, are you scared something could be wrong with these babies too?"

"Not scared, hopeful that God has made them healthy. Are you?"

"A little bit," I answer as we stop outside Carrano's door. "But everything will work out it has to."

"It always does," he says. "Good luck, Baby."

"Thanks," I say before I kiss his lips. I knock on the door. Mark tells me to come in and I open the door walking into his office while Joe stands outside.

"Willow," says Carrano. "It's nice to see you."

"Nice to see you too," I say. "I wanted to talk to you about something," I say cutting to the chase.

"What's going on, Willow? I heard you stopped working in Orlando. Is there a reason why?"

"Well, I'm pregnant so I had to stop training."

"Congratulations. I had no idea," he says.

"I didn't either until I took the test," I say as I take a seat. "I decided it was probably best if I stopped training."

"I understand, so this is where we're at, Willow. You've been off WWE TV and haven't wrestled for about a year. We were counting on you returning at Survivor Series to start a feud with Charlotte and we were planning on having you take the Women's championship from her at the next pay per view. We made plans for you to be on the RAW roster now you're talking about being out another year. When you're not on WWE TV you get forgotten about. We lose faith in employees that are gone for long periods of time. You can't be out a year or almost two years expect to come back and be thrown into the main event spot."

"I know," I say, "but the reason I am here is because I don't want to come back."

"You don't want to come back?" he asks.

"No," I say with tears burning my eyes. "I know I grew up in this business, coming to shows with my dad and there was a time there was nothing I wanted more than this. I wanted this career and I am thankful for the opportunity you gave me and I am thankful I had the chance to wrestle in WWE but the one thing I want more than this is children, I want to be a mother. I can't be a wrestler and a mother. I don't want to miss out on moments with my children. I want to be released from my contract. I don't know if I'll come back or not but right now I know this is what I want to do. I would like to be released from this contract. I can't thank you enough for this opportunity and the faith you had in me over the years. I am forever grateful that I had the chance to do what I love, so thank-you for this job and this opportunity."

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I'm sure," I answer. "I want to do this besides my contract will be up before I even come back. I think it would be easier to release me now."

"Okay, Willow," he says. "If this is what you want to do."

"It is," I say.

"I will talk with Hunter and we will get back with you. I don't think it should be a problem but I just want to make sure that you are positive with this decision."

"I have never been more positive about anything else in my life."

"Okay," he says. "I hate to see you go but I understand why you would make this decision after everything you have been through in the last year. I understand and I support you in this decision."

"Thank-you," I say trying to swallow the lump in my throat. "Thank-you," I say as I stand up to shake his hand.

"I wish you the best, Willow," he says. I thank him and make my way out into the hallway.

I open the door and see Joe standing next to it. "How did it go?" he asks and I can't swallow the lump, instead I choke on it and break down into sobs. Joe takes me into his arms and holds me tight allowing me to cry on his shoulder. "It's okay," he says comforting me. "It's okay."

"I did it, Joe," I say through my tears. "I gave it up."

"I know, Baby Girl," he says rubbing my back, "I know. You can always come back when you want to I will support you."

"I don't want to come back," I say, "My career is over," I say. "This is it."

"I know," he comforts me. "I know."

I spend the rest of the show in the audience watching in a daze. I have fans asking when I am coming back and I give them the same vague answers I have given everyone else. When the show is finally over Joe showers before we go to get something to eat at a wings place, he drinks a couple beers while I just have some tea while we eat. "You think you can get those wings any hotter?" he asks as I pour some hot sauce onto my wings that have already been smothered in hot sauce.

I smile and say, "the babies want spicy."

"You're going to regret that later when you have heartburn," he says as he eats some of his wings.

"Heartburn is a sign that our babies will have a lot of hair and since you're the father I don't expect anything less."

"When Alani was born she had a head full of hair just like Koa. We could put it in a ponytail by the time she was 3 months old. My kids come from a family of great hair."

"You ever going to cut your hair?" I ask before taking a bite of my wing.

"I don't know maybe someday just not yet, when it starts to thin and fall out then maybe."

"My dad didn't get rid of his hair until it started to thin hell he doesn't even care he will let his hair grow."

"I'm going to be like that," he says with a smile. "You know they say when you crave spicy foods it means you're having a boy so maybe we're having twin boys."

"I don't know. I wanted chocolate earlier and that means a girl."

"Maybe one of each but I think that's impossible because they are in the same sac which means they are the same gender. Could you imagine twin boys?"

"I don't want to think about it. I'm sure it would be crazy," I say with a smile, "but I think I would enjoy that kind of crazy. But you know any daughter of mine that is like me is going to be a handful if we have two daughters like me it will be even crazier. I can't even tell you how wild I was growing up and all the crazy things I did."

"I can imagine," he says with a smile. "I'm happy with healthy babies."

"Me too," I say with a smile. "It was fun sitting in the audience tonight."

"Was it?"

"Yeah, I like watching you wrestle. Fans kept asking when I was coming back. I had to give them vague answers until they announce my release."

"Yeah," he says wiping his hands and mouth. "When do you want to announce it to our families?"

"I think we should wait until I'm 12 weeks so that we know we're safe but I was thinking about telling them on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning."

"I think you're going to show way before Christmas, you're already showing, Willow. You can't hide twins. What about Thanksgiving?"

"We aren't even with our families on Thanksgiving."

"We can host Thanksgiving dinner this year and tell everyone the news."

"I guess," I say. "I mean okay and you're right I can't hide it too much longer."

"No you can't," he says.

"Shut up, you calling me fat?"

"No, I'm calling you beautiful because you're carrying the lives you and I created from our love inside of you, there is nothing more beautiful than that."

"You're such a romantic," I say with a smile. "I can't believe for you to ask me out on a date you had to read Wuthering Heights."

"What? I asked you out several times and you always said no. Reading is the only thing I could do to get your attention."

"You always had it," I smile.

"I never would have guessed," he says. "You didn't really give me that vibe that I had your attention."

"I never wanted you to change who you were for me except I knew about your reputation."

"Ah, the infamous womanizer reputation, I'll admit I had my days where I took girls back to my hotel room for some fun. I was bored and needed something to do. Girls were willing and able."

"You never heard the word no until me right?"

"Right," he says.

"If I would have said yes right away I would have been no different than those girls you met in a bar or wherever you met them. I have some dignity."

"You made it really hard," he says, "but it was all worth it." I smile at him. "I wouldn't trade it for the world."

"Me either," I smile as our phones buzz. We both look at our phones, "well, it's been announced. It's official. I am no longer a WWE superstar."

"WWE has come to the terms on the release of WWE Diva Willow Calaway, we wish her the best in her future endeavors. Ooh you got future endeavored," he says.

I let out a laugh thinking about the inside joke in the locker room of being future endeavored. "I accept that," I smile. "I guess I am a stay at home mom now."

"You'll be a great one," he encourages me. "What do you think the fans are going to say about it?"

"They'll blame you," I wink. "Because you know everything is YOUR fault. Everything you can't control is your fault."

"I know," he laughs as he shakes his head. "If they had any idea."

"Marks," I say rolling my eyes. "They have no idea how awesome you are and don't understand you're only doing what Vince wants you to do although Vince could ease back on Reigns domination."

"I don't know what all I have to do to prove myself to them."

"They're going to hate, Joe. Haters are gonna hate but Reigns is gonna Reign. Nothing you can do to stop it just enjoy it," I say with a smile. "Just enjoy it. Besides your biggest fans are the ones that matter like me, the twins and Alani. You do it for us and it makes you happy. Screw what they think or how they feel."

"I like that," he says with a smile. "Haters are gonna hate, Reigns is gonna Reign, I think I'm going to use that when I turn heel just to piss everyone off."

"Glad I could assist," I laugh.

LATER THAT NIGHT:

Joe and I are lying in our bed in our hotel room. My eyes are closed and Joe thinks I'm asleep as he rests his hand on my bare stomach and sprawls out his fingers. I feel his lips on my stomach and I hear his deep voice. "Hello in there, I have to come up with a name for you two, twins doesn't work for me. I need something to call you. I just wanted to say how much you mean to your mama and me. You mean everything to us. We prayed for more children, we prayed for happiness and God blessed us with you. I couldn't be happier, your mama couldn't be happier. The waiting to meet you is going to last forever but this time I promise I want to enjoy more of your time inside your mama, nightly talks, I want to feel you kick, feel you move. I'm sure in a little while you two will be fighting with each other it's only expected being the children of two wrestlers. You're going to have a great life we're going to make sure of it. We are going to give you everything but most importantly we are going to give you love, lots of love. You don't know how much we love you already. I know your mama thinks I am hoping for boys but honestly, I hope you both are girls. I want you to be healthy number 1 but I want you two to be healthy baby girls. If you look anything like your mama you're going to be beautiful. She's the most beautiful woman I know," he says making me smile. "Just wait until you see her, she takes our breath away at first sight. She's not only beautiful outside but beautiful on the inside, but I'm sure you two already see how big her heart is. You don't know how much she loves you but she loves you very much. She gave up her whole life, all her dreams because she loves you and I am contemplating doing the same. I would give up my life to be home with you and your mama, to watch you grow, to spend every day with you. I would do anything but your mama she's stronger than me. She walked away from something she worked so hard for, she gave it up, threw away her dreams to be a mama and I love her for that. She loves you so much. You have no idea how wonderful she is. She's going to be the best mama to you and I hope that I am as good of a father as she is a mother. I have to go to sleep now because I have to be on the road to the next show so I can make the money I need to so you two can have a good life but I love you two so much. Goodnight," he says making me smile as he kisses my stomach. He moves closer to me, keeping his hand on my stomach, tangling our legs together as he holds me close, his breath on my neck and his heartbeat against my back. I fall into a peaceful sleep, only to be woken up a couple hours later with cramping..

*A/N: What do you think of Willow's time before she talked to Mark? What did you think of how she felt about the business? How do you think her talk with Carrano went? Are you surprised that she actually gave it all up, would you call that love? What did you think of Willow helping Joe with his phrase when he becomes a heel? Do you think Willow will ever go back to wrestling? What about when Joe was talking about the babies? Do you think they are girls, boys or one of each? What did you think of Willow waking up from cramping? Please review and thank-you for reading.
