Enjoy!
Allen POV
A few hours later, I wake up with Rory wrapped around me and I can't help the big smile that makes it's way onto my face. I could really get use to waking up like this…I really could. And I can't wait for the moment where it becomes a permanent occurrence. I just hope it's sooner rather than later. I need to get Rory and Matty up to Gainesville first.
But I need to use the bathroom, so I'm forced to carefully detach Rory's hold on me. I press a kiss to her forehead before covering her up properly and I watch her sleep for a few moments, admiring her beauty. God, I really am one lucky son of a bitch.
Once I'm done relieving myself, I already know going back to sleep isn't an option, so I decide I'm going to surprise Rory and Matty with breakfast. Speaking of Matty, I quietly make my way to his bedroom to check on him. To my surprise, he is sitting up in bed, reading one of his books.
When Matty hears the door being opened, he looks over at me and a big smile grows on his face. "AJ!" He exclaims, but I signal him to be quiet as I walk into his bedroom and close the door behind me.
"Quiet buddy. Your mom is still asleep; you don't want to wake her up, do you?" I say, sitting at the edge of the bed, ruffling Matty's hair.
A scared, but apologetic look crosses his young face at my comment, "sorry. No, I don't wanna wake her up. Is she feeling okay? Last night I heard her moaning. She doesn't have a tummy ache, does she?" Matty asks me with worry coating his tone and my eyes widen at his comment, but I quickly recover and hope to god that he didn't catch the look on my face. I told her she needed to be quiet and I can't help, but internally chuckle.
"Yeah, she's alright. She had a really bad headache that wouldn't go away, but I'm sure by the time she wakes up, it'll be gone. But I do know a way to definitely help make her feel better. Do you wanna help me?" I reply, trying to distract him.
"Yeah! What did you want to do?" Matty asks me, getting excited as his eyes light up.
"Well, I was thinking of making her some breakfast and then surprising her in bed with it. What do you say? Do you like that idea? Your mom deserves nothing but the best," I answer and Matty nods his head wildly.
"I love that idea. She is the best mom ever. I'm glad she found you, AJ," he tells me and my heart swells with joy at hearing him say that. Not to mention the smile that develops on my face at the fact that Matty is okay and so accepting of me dating his mom.
I open my arms, silently asking Matty for a hug and he doesn't hesitate to give me one. God, I love this kid so much. "I'm glad she found me, too, bud. Your mom makes me extremely happy; I just wanted you to know that. But c'mon, let's head downstairs and start makin' that breakfast for her. Do you have anything in mind that you wanted to make her?" I ask Matty, getting to my feet.
Matty gets out of bed and follows me into the kitchen. "Mom loves French toast," he reveals to me and I smile at that.
"No kidding. French toast is my favorite, too. I think we'll make her that, eggs and bacon. I'm hoping she has bacon in the fridge," I say and open up the appliance, thankfully finding everything I need to make the perfect breakfast for Rory.
"You two were meant for each other!" Matty happily replied and the smile on my face grows as I grab everything I need. It took me a little bit of time with having to hunt for the bowls, plates and utensils, but I managed.
"I agree with you on that. Go grab one of the chairs from the table and I want you to help me with mixing up the eggs," I tell him and Matty drags the chair over to the counter where I'm standing as I collect 7 eggs from the carton. I'm gonna need to take Rory food shopping before I leave to head back home, I think to myself.
"Alright, I want you to break the eggs…carefully. You don't want any of the shell getting into the bowl," I order Matty. While he does that, I keep a close eye on him while I make the egg mixture to soak the bread in.
Matty knows how to chat up a storm, but I love his questions as we get to know each other better. If I'm going to be over here and eventually have him as one of my own, I want to know all I can about him. Especially before he meets the kids. That's one of my fears is that they won't get along, but with their personalities and the way mine were raised, I have no doubt they'll get along just fine. Matty is already a great kid, so I have no worries.
It's time to get the bacon into the oven, so I show Matty how to properly line the meat onto the baking sheet after lining it with foil. Hey, less clean up and more time with some of my favorite people. We are so focused on what we're doing as I explain everything to him, that I don't realize he and I have gained ourselves an audience.
Rory POV
I wake up to an empty bed, but if I listened hard enough, I can hear small quiet chatter downstairs. I smile when I realize it's Allen and Matty. I get up, take off my robe and quickly put on a fresh pair of panties, a pair of leggings, a t-shirt and a pair of socks before going to the bathroom and heading downstairs.
As I make my way down the hall, I can hear Allen explaining to Matty on how to line bacon properly. Now my curiosity is piqued. When I make it to the entrance to the kitchen, I find Allen behind Matty who is standing on one of the kitchen chairs as he helps him line bacon on a baking sheet.
I can't help but lean against the frame and cross my arms as I watch both of my men bond. Seeing the display in front of me warms my heart more than you can ever imagine. "What are my two favorite men up to?" I ask, pushing myself off of the frame and walk into the kitchen, straight into Allen's arms. "Hmm, good morning," I greet him with a soft kiss.
"Good morning, my beautiful girl. Matty and I are making you breakfast. We were going to surprise you with it, but obviously, that's not going to happen now," Allen replies, smirking down at me, releasing his hold as he returns to his task at hand.
"Good morning, my handsome boy," I greet Matty, pressing a kiss to the top of his head.
"Morning mom! AJ is teaching me how to cook!" Matty exclaims.
"I can see that," I laugh and make my way to the coffee pot, "coffee?" I ask Allen and a sheepish smile grows on his gorgeous face.
"Sorry, babe. I wasn't able to get to it, yet," he tells me and I wave it off.
"No worries. You have your hands full anyway. I got it," I reply, getting the coffee put together before adding, "so, what is on the menu?"
Stepping away, Allen washes his hands while helping Matty with his before putting the bacon into the oven. "French toast, bacon and eggs. Matty told me French toast was your favorite breakfast. So naturally…" he answers, shrugging while providing me with a grin. He walks up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, pressing a kiss to my temple before resting his chin on my shoulder.
I turn around in his hold and wrap my arms around his neck, "you just thought you'd sweep me off my feet and make me fall even more in love with you?" I counter, playfully.
Allen grins down at me before leaning in and placing his lips on mine. "Is it working?" He asks shamelessly, his tone soft.
"You already know it is," I reply just as softly as I rub my nose against his affectionately.
"That wasn't my intention, but I'll definitely take it. I just want to spoil my girl and treat her the way she deserves to be treated…like a queen. Especially, when it's not everyday that I get to spend with her," he whispers.
I look behind Allen to see if Matty is still in the kitchen or not and when I discover his absence, I put my attention back onto Allen, "I know I said I'd eventually move me and Matty up to Gainesville, but now that we're trying for a baby…I figured I'd move us up sooner rather than later," I say and Allen's eyes widen in surprised happiness. "I know we never actually talked about it, but I was thinking ASAP…only if you're okay with it though," I add, cautiously.
"Are you kidding? I'd want nothing more than to have you and Matty move in with me. I just want you to make sure that you're 100% positive you wanna do this right away. I don't want you to regret moving you two in with me so quickly. I'm here for you, no matter what. So whenever you are truly ready to move in with me…I'll be there every step of the way, darlin'," he tells me quietly.
I look up into Allen's eyes and I see the true sincerity swimming within his blue irises. I knew I'd see nothing different than that, but that nagging thought is in the back of my head of when Joey promised me forever. Then I got pregnant.
"What is it, Aurora? I can see the turmoil shining in those gorgeous eyes of yours. I want you to be able to tell me what's troubling you without fear of what will happen. You know you can tell me anything, baby," Allen coos, framing my face within his warm large hands.
"Am I really that transparent?" I try and joke, but the unamused look on his face has me sobering up, "Sorry. I just…I know that I never have to worry about you leaving me or falling out of love with me. And believe me when I say I know you're nothing like Joey, but it's just…he promised me forever and then when I told him I was pregnant…he dropped me so fast. If it wasn't for Chelsea and Jason…I'm getting off track," I breathe out a chuckle, looking back up into Allen's eyes because I broke that contact at some point during my explanation.
"I just don't want you regretting taking me and Matty in so quickly, regardless of what you've said…" I speak up again, but Allen quiets me when he captures my lips with his own.
"Marry me," he whispers.
I pull back to look at him in shock. "W–what?" I breathe.
"Marry me, Aurora. That's how serious I am about wanting you and Matty to move in with me. If I could have you guys moved in tomorrow, I'd do it, but I know that's not possible. If you're willing, I can get you guys moved in before the Royal Rumble at the end of January. So once again, I'm going to ask you to marry me because I want nothing more than to have you and Matty in my life every single damn day. I want nothing more than to come home to you, so I have you and all of the kids together all at once…like the happy family I know we will be," Allen begins to ramble and I've come to learn he does that when he's nervous.
I press a finger to his lips to quiet him, but before I can answer him, the timer for the bacon goes off. I hear Allen grumble his displeasure for timing under his breath and I can't help but quietly giggle. Pressing my body up against Allen's, I press a kiss to his lips before breaking away to pull the sheet out of the oven and place it on the stove top.
When I turn around, Allen is right there and I can see the pleading look in his eyes. "Ask me, again," I say softly, running my hands up his bare chest and lock my fingers together behind his neck.
I feel Allen's touch on my hips grow firmer as he pulls me flush up against his solid frame. "Marry me, Aurora Scott…please," he breathes and I smile up at him.
Pressing myself further into him, I place a soft kiss onto Allen's lips, smiling into it. "Yes…yes, I'll marry you, Allen Jones and I'll have me and Matty moved in with you before the Royal Rumble," I reply softly…happily and the light shining in Allen's eyes let's me know I made the right decision in telling him yes.
"Hey mom…" I hear Matty call for me and my smile dims some when I realize I'm going to have to explain to him that we are leaving Florida. You never know…he may be excited about it. He absolutely adores Allen, so learning that he'll be moving in with him…it might be a good thing.
"Hey sweetie, what's up?" I ask, turning my attention onto him. Kneeling down, I get to his level and pull him into my arms, pressing a kiss to the side of his head.
"After breakfast, can I go over to Justin's house for a little bit?" He asks with hope in his tone as he looks at me with his big blue eyes.
I feel Allen give my shoulder a gentle squeeze as he gets breakfast put on the table. "Only if his mom is okay with it. I'll send her a text asking if it's alright and if she says it's okay, Allen and I will drop you off and then come pick you up later. How does that sound?" I ask and Matty's smile grows with a nod of his head. "Awesome. I'll text her now. Get to the table and start on your breakfast before it gets cold," I order him, pressing a kiss to the top of his head.
I send Laura a quick text and while I wait for her response, I grab the milk out of the fridge as well as my hazelnut creamer. "Babe, are you alright with just hazelnut creamer or do you just want to use milk for your coffee? I don't have any half and half…sorry," I ask Allen as I turn to grab two coffee cups from the cabinet as well as a small glass for Matty.
"The hazelnut is fine, darlin'," he replies.
Getting mine and Allen's coffee ready, I get Matty his milk and bring all 3 cups to the table. Sitting down next to Allen, I lean into him when he pulls me in close and presses a kiss to the side of my head. "The only thing that could make this moment more perfect is if I had my four kids here with us," he said and I grab his hand that rests on the table, causing him to look over at me.
"Don't you mean, our four kids. They will be mine, too, soon enough," I comment with a grin that Allen returns.
"You are absolutely right, they will be. And Matty will be mine," Allen replies, squeezing my hand.
Matty looks over at us as he chews on a piece of bacon, "what are you guys talking about?" He asks with genuine curiosity. I quietly sigh to myself and look up at Allen with desperate eyes.
"How can we explain this to him? He literally just learned that we're dating. But to learn that not only are he and I are moving up to Georgia, but that you and me are getting married. Not to mention he's going to gain three brothers and a sister," I voice and Matty's outburst scares the shit outta me.
"I'm going to get three brothers and a sister?" Matty exclaims with excitement.
Allen and I look at each other in amusement before looking back over at Matty. "This might be easier than we thought," Allen said to me before putting his attention onto Matty, "so you're okay with getting more brothers and a sister? Matty, in order for that to happen, you and your mom will have to move in with me up in Georgia. A completely different state and town. You're going to have to make new friends…a new school," he tries to explain.
"Baby, that means no more Justin. No more Chelsea or Jason," I add on.
Matty gets up from his seat and rounds the table, stopping next to me. "Mommy, I just want you to be happy. As long as you're happy…I'm happy and I know AJ makes you very happy," he said and tears form in my eyes.
I look over at Allen and the look in his matches mine. He wasn't expecting to hear that come from a five year old. I pull Matty into my arms, wrapping myself around him, "oh baby, you don't know what it means to me to hear you say that," I rasp out, pressing a kiss to the top of his head before looking up at Allen. "And he does make me very happy; happier than I've ever been," I add on and reach a hand out to Allen.
Taking my hand, Allen presses a kiss to it, but gets down to his knees and pulls both myself and Matty into his arms. "Matty, I want you to know your mom makes me just as happy. You do too, buddy. I already see you as one of my own," he tells Matty, placing a kiss to the side of his head.
"AJ…" Matty said before turning out of my hold to face him, "if you really want to, you can marry mom," he tells Allen and I quietly gasp at his comment.
A flabbergasted look crosses Allen's face and his eyes widen as they dart back and forth between me and Matty. "You heard that?" Allen asked in shock.
Matty nods his head with a big smile, "I did. If you want to marry mom, you can. When my friends learn that AJ Styles is going to be my dad, they are going to be so jealous," he says smirking.
"Ha ha…hooowww about we keep this to ourselves for now. Remember sweetie, Allen is a famous wrestler and we want to make sure his private life stays private until he is ready to share that personal information with his fans and the world. You don't want people treating you differently knowing that he is your dad, do you?" I ask Matty and he downcasts his eyes before meeting mine again.
"No, I don't. I'll keep your secret," he replies.
"I know you will, baby," I respond and my phone pings. Grabbing it, I see it's a response from Laura and I smile, "if you want to go play with Justin, I suggest you finish your breakfast because Ms. Laura said it's alright if you go over for a little bit," I tell him.
"Yay!" Matty exclaims and pushes both me and Allen off of him to get back to his side of the table.
Allen laughs at his enthusiasm and sits back down to finish his own food, "I think someone is excited," he said, taking a sip of his coffee.
"I think so, too," I laugh, as well, as I look back and forth between the two most important men in my life, wondering how I got to be so lucky to be exactly where I'm at in my life.
