How the two of them ended up like this, was still a bit of a mystery to Nicole. Actually, that wasn’t entirely true, because Nikki was very well aware of how she’d ended up on Phil’s bed in the first place, and it was all based on the fact Nikki would never be able to let go of how much of a fool Phil’s ex wife had made her look, at one point in time in her life. April was the reason that to this day, Nicole and her sister didn’t get the proper respect they so rightfully deserved, and probably never would, and in some warped part of her mind, Nicole felt like sleeping with Phil would somehow be a way to finally stick it to April, once and for all. That part she understood, but what Nikki was having a hard time wrapping her head around was how what was supposed to be one hookup, turned into a night of what seemed like endless sex, and dare say, the best sex Nicole had ever had in her life, and how she was still at Phil’s place the next morning, and not only that, but wrapped up in his arms, as if they were some kind of couple or something. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go down, and as much as she told herself she should get the hell out of there, before Phil woke up, it was as if Nicole couldn’t even force herself to do that, but it wasn’t about to matter soon, because she suddenly felt Phil moving around, indicating that he was waking up from his sleep.

If Phil thought for one second Maryse was about to get up and make them coffee, he had another thing coming, because she had every intention in the world of laying in bed for another thirty minutes, because she knew Monroe wouldn’t wake up for at least another hour. A small laugh escaped the blonde, as she moved over so Sophia could lay down between them, because their daughter was already hyper twenty four seven, and coffee would only make her worse. “Absolutely not. Unless you want to deal with a wild woman all day, no coffee until she’s at least 40! You know what would be great? If you’d be the best hubby in the world, and fix yourself and your wife a cup of coffee. Don’t you agree with me baby girl? Daddy should totally be the one to get up, and make coffee, right?” When Sophia started shaking her head, and said, yes, be nice Daddy, and make me waffles too, Maryse couldn’t help but to laugh, because the look on Phil’s face, was hilarious.

A quick blank stare was given to him, it was one of those left-field statements. They had always joked about the age difference between them, barely through her twenties, he was now the big four-oh and it made Saraya truly think about it. Fourteen years older was a big difference, she’d seen and known of bigger but still. In those joking times, she called him her first husband — and she was his trophy wife but the idea of that age difference was now creeping in on her. But the seriousness of those thoughts melted as he informed her that he’d haunt her. She tried to formulate some kind of response, but the only thing that came from her was a quick bolt of laughter. “Promise it won’t be as a Snowman or Whoopi Goldberg?” Taking a sip of her tea she gave it a more serious bit of thought. “Do we need to work out a code so that I know it’s you?”

Ashley now wished she wouldn’t have even brought anything involving her father up, because not only was Phil now annoyed, but so was she, because the way he said she could do whatever she wanted, as far as Christmas was concerned, kind of got underneath Ashley’s skin, because this would be their first Christmas together as a couple, and she was hoping it was going to be special. “I can do whatever I want, huh? Gee, what a way to make me feel like you actually care. You know, I know my Dad can be an ass about this whole thing, but don’t take it out on me, because you know I always have been, and always will be, on your side when it comes to that. I don’t think either one of you realize how awful it feels to be stuck in the middle of you two, because as much as I love and care for you, that’s still my Dad, so it just….it just sucks, but yeah, I guess I’ll just spend Christmas with my family, since I can do whatever I want.”

Thinking back, she couldn’t just leave him after the best sex she had in nearly five years. Yeah, John would never measure up to Phil, which the Bella Twin could admit out loud in front of a room, full of people. The feeling of hands on her body holding her tight to not let her body slip, that hard length stretching her, filling her up in the most delicious ways, lips against her own - those memories haunted her mind each and every time Nikki closed her eyes. And now thanks to that she… no, they would have the greatest gift life can give them - a baby. “Thank God… You… thank you”, the brunette breathed out, one palm coming up to lay over her belly without even thinking. Killing her own flesh and blood would be the last thing she would ever do and now, seeing and hearing Phil talk brought an uneasy feeling in her chest. The Chicagoan’s history when it comes to family was not the best, which prompted Nicole to act on her instincts. Moving quickly she crossed the distance between them, wrapping her arms around the tattooed male’s waist as tight as she can. “I know that it’s not easy, but we’ll do this together. You’ll be the best dad in the world and our baby would love you so much just because you’re his or hers dad”. 

A small laugh escaped Becky, as she placed her phone down for a second, because there was actually something Phil didn’t know about that whole, their mutual photographer setting them up on a date, thing, that would ultimately lead to them becoming a couple. “So fun fact, do yah know I almost didn’t go on dat date? See, at first, I didn’t know it was yah either, but I finally got it out of Ryan, and I was like nope, nope, nope, not goin down dat road again. After everythin dat happened wit Luke? I was like no way! How stupid would I ‘ave been if I didn’t show up, right? I would ‘ave missed out on da best ting dats ever happened ta me. And dat was me one and only sappy moment fer da day. Back ta being a bad ass!” After she placed a quick kiss against Phil’s lips, Becky went back to look for the perfect photo, and she finally settled on one of them relaxing in front of Phil’s fireplace, with Larry of course, and she decided to post it on Instagram, with no caption, and so she could turn comments off. “And there it is. The world now knows about us. Well, anyone dat actually has a brain does. Idiots won’t get it. Also? Dat movie was da shits. Honestly, I fell asleep like five minutes into it, love. Yah ‘ave such a weird taste in movies, I swear.”

Brie didn’t even want to think about how crazy busy their lives were about to be, because she figured by now, they would have gotten a hang of all the travel they did during the month of December, but going from Chicago, to Arizona, and California, then back to Chicago, so they could make sure they spent time with both sides of their families for Christmas, was honestly the biggest hassle. “You know, I still don’t know why we don’t just have Christmas here for everyone. It sure as hell would make things a lot easier, than traveling all over the place with two kids!” While Phil went to put clothes on, Brie went ahead and called Larry, Josie and Winston, into the kitchen so they could eat, and by the time Phil joined her again, she’d just gotten done placing food into all their bowls, a small laugh escaping her at his words. “Hey! The last time I went Brie Mode was months ago, in Lake Tahoe. I’ve been a good girl ever since, so don’t go there, but yes, a castle. I totally blame Chaz and Chaleen for this, since they watch Frozen every single time they have sleep overs. You know, we should totally make them do it! I’m thinking, maybe we can build a fort like thing, and decorate it with all her Frozen stuff. I mean she’s three, will she really know the difference?”

Before Lexi said another word, she reached for a bag of Larry’s treats, and started shaking the bag, and wouldn’t you know, no more than maybe a minute or so later, he came running down the stairs. “I discovered that works, the other day. I was trying to put groceries away, and he was literally outside peeing, and could hear me rattling bags, and I swear he almost tore the door down, trying to get in!” Once Lexi threw the little dog a few treats, she placed the bag back down, before going back to fixing her and Phil’s hot chocolate. “I’m used to being cramped in cars babe, so you don’t have to go all out for my sake, but whatever you want to do, is fine by me. We should probably try and leave that Monday after Live events, so I can actually be with you for an entire week, before I have to leave again. I guess I can’t complain, because at least we don’t actually have to work on Christmas Day this year. Fingers crossed I’m back in the ring by then, too! Also, you’re going to have to help be get gifts for your family. I’ve only met them a few times, so I don’t really know what all they like, just yet. Do you want marshmallows or no?”

“The perks of dating a hardcore hockey fan, who also happens to be pretty damn famous himself. He can sneak us into hockey rinks so he can teach me how to play!” Phil was right, and as much as Ashley adored kids, she had to interact with them pretty much every single day of her life, so on her day off, she just wanted time to herself, and her boyfriend, without having to hear a bunch of kids crying, or having to stop and take pictures, and sign autographs for them. “Anyway, since we have a few more minutes before we get to where we are going, I wanted to talk to you about what your plans for Christmas are. I was thinking of spending a few days here with you, before I go home, if that’s okay with you. I’d invite you to spend it with me and the family, but I just don’t think you and my Dad will be breaking bread together anytime soon. Do you think you guys will ever sit down, and talk things over?” It was like Ashley was asking a rhetorical question, because she knew the answer to it, and as much as she loved and adored her father, she was on Phil’s side when it came to the beef between him and her Dad, because her father placed judgment on Phil, without even trying to know the full story, just because he way to loyal to the other parties involved.

When they first tried to be friends, Nikki had told herself it was a bad idea. That being just friends with Punk of all people was never going to work out. She had seen how he was around women, she KNEW how she was around him. And yet she had done it anyway. Which lead to them in this current situation. Breath hitched in her throat as he had moved in closer. Hands froze at her side as she tried to keep herself from reaching towards him. Doing everything in her power to force those words out, to remind them both that they were friends. JUST FRIENDS. What she hadn’t been expecting was for him to agree. And to apologize. Her heart dropped in her chest as she let her head fall back, resting against the wall behind her. 

shaking her head to snap herself back into reality, something he said dawned on her.    ❝   did you just admit that I was right? did you finally admit I was right? i never thought this day would come.   ❞   a forced laugh passed her red painted lips as she kept her eyes on him. needing to change the topic. needing to make sure that it didn’t get awkward between the two of them. that this wasn’t going to ruin whatever it was that they had between them. pushing herself off the wall and closing the distance between them for a moment. hand reaching out to rest against his arm. smirk crossing her lips.   ❝   looks like you’re finally gaining some wisdom to match that old age of yours. not sure if i should be proud or d i s a p p o i n t e d.   ❞   winking up at him as she moved away, brushing a strand of hair out of her face as she noticed a few people wall past the hall they were standing in. a reminder that they were at the arena for a reason. and she refused to turn back around to look at him as she spoke up again.   ❝   we should get back out there. i need my makeup touched up.   ❞    

Yep, she’s weird but it clearly wasn’t scaring him off like it did to others. There was something about being able to just feel your significant other all around you - in terms of hearing his voice, feeling his presence, having his scent in your system. What Phil said made sense but just smelling his deodorant or body wash was not enough. “It’s different when it’s on you… How do I explain it?”, coming up to stand in front of the Chicago native, Cassie wrapped her arms around his middle, head coming to rest right into the crook of his neck. “The warmth of your skin, how all those smells combine during the day make all the difference. People say that certain smells make you feel happy and safe, well… Your smell is what makes me feel content and happy”, pressing a kiss to the side of the man’s neck, she tightened her hold on him for a bit, just enjoying the feeling.

“And where’s the fun in that? Gotta keep you on your toes all the time or you’ll get bored of me soon!”, clearly spending time with Ron, more commonly known as R - Truth was rubbing off on her, but it was fun to make things a little different from what they were before. Skipping closer to Phil, making sure he can see the shirt she chose to wear tonight - the newest one from his merch line - the brunette looped her arms around the other’s neck, a wide smile tugging at her lips. “Think you can help me burn off some calories from that cupcake I ate in catering?”, biting on her bottom lip, Leah let her fingers run through the raven locks at the nape of Phil’s neck. “Truth is the worst, because he keeps feeding me sweets every chance he can. I’m gonna get fat thanks to him”.
