Blazing Forward

Chapter 11

"Your mommy and your big sister and I are so excited to meet you two. I just realized that we need to buy another crib and I already have an idea for the theme that I hope your mommy likes. Daddy hasn't been a good partner to mommy but I'll be better. I'll do better because I don't want to lose any of you."

"You're not gonna lose us. Even if we were to break up, I would never take the boys from you." I yawned, turning to him.

"Don't ever say that again, baby. I don't wanna lose any of you."

"You don't have to . . . oh, feel this!"

I grabbed his hand and pressed it to the side of my belly where one of the babies was kicking. His smile was breathtaking really, and it made me smile.

"Strong legs just like their momma."

"Yeah, it's horrible when they start kicking my bladder in tandem. Which reminds me that I really need to pee."

I got out of bed and stretched before running into the bathroom. Since I'm already here, I completed my morning routine and when I walked out Le was on the phone ordering breakfast. I missed this, I missed us so much. In all the time that we've been together, this is the biggest fight we've ever had. A few disagreements, a couple of arguments maybe, but nothing of this magnitude. Granted, neither of us really handled the situation in the best way . . . mainly me.

I blame hormones for overreacting but I really didn't, now that I think about it. Granted, up and leaving for two weeks without telling him where I was gonna be, knowing where he was gonna be was a little extreme. Ignoring him for that same amount of time was a little petty too, but hey, I'm hormonal, I have an excuse. What's his?

Walking closer to him, I wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed his back. He pulled me around for a proper kiss while waiting on the phone. My mouth was already watering while he ordered and my stomach grumbled, making him laugh. I realized quickly that he was ordering a lot of food which means we're not having breakfast alone, smiling when I heard the knock on the door.

"Go change." he said.

I kissed him quickly again before grabbing a pair of leggings and a Naomi t-shirt. It's pretty early but I know that Le has to be at the arena early and his dad will more than likely go with him. Sika came in with Lisa and my butterfly, who ran into the bedroom before I could close the door.

As much as I want today to drag, I also want it to be over. This match is going to be brutal and my husband is going to come home battered and bloody. Le and Sika left quickly after breakfast, Sika has a lot of people he wants to see and catch up with. My husband looks happy though, hopefully, he looks the same way tonight.

"You're worried." Lisa said after the men left.

"That obvious?"

"Yeah, and the two of you seem to be in a good place so I know that it's not about the relationship but I know that you're worried.

"Always am when he's in the ring with Lesnar. I absolutely hate it. Hopefully, they end this feud soon because I don't know how much more either of us can handle."

"Hey, you can't think like that." she said.

"It's Lesnar mom, he's a walking injury lawsuit waiting to happen. I don't want him to get hurt going on this impossible mission."

"It's not impossible, it's never impossible."

"That's not what it feels like because this just doesn't end." I sighed, rubbing my belly.

"It'll be over soon." she said, patting my shoulder.

"Mom, when are we leaving?" Jojo asked as she ran out of the bedroom.

"Well that depends, do you want to be there all day?" I asked her.

"I wanna see daddy and his friends and uncle Jon and Josh." she smiled.

"Okay, we'll leave after lunch. Is that okay? Mom, are you good with that?"

"Whenever you want to leave." she replied.

"But first a surprise." I told them as someone knocked on the door. "Jojo, can you get that?"

"What did you do?" Lisa asked.

"Gia!" Jojo shouted.

"Hey munchkin, what's going on Ariana? Why did you summon me?" Gia asked when she walked in with Jojo on her hip.

"I can't wait to pick you up again." I pouted.

"Soon mommy, you gotta take care of the beans." Jojo smiled.

"Are you okay, Ari?" Gia worriedly asked.

"I'm fine, can both of you stop giving me worried mom looks? I made appointments for the four of us, manicures and pedicures. A little girl bonding before all of the madness ensues." I told them.

"Oh! Well, that sounds great." Lisa said.

"Twist my arm, I'll take a mani-pedi any day." Gia smiled.

"In half an hour ladies and after yesterday, my feet need the love." I complained.

"Who told you to wear the heels?" Lisa scolded me.

"Granted you looked amazing, but you're housing two boys no so flats would've worked out just fine." Gia added.

"Listen moms, I would never go to the Hall of Fame in flats." I argued, insulted at the mere mention of it.

"You young things." Lisa smiled.

"I love my heels." I said, pouted when they started laughing.
