Jaelyn

I leave the locker room to answer my phone. "Hello?" I asked. "Hi, Momma," Bridgette said. "Hey, Bridge. How's cheer camp?" I asked.

"It's good. I'm having so much fun. I have Rosalie with me," Bridgette said. "Hi, Aunt Jaelyn," Rosalie said as she sounded like Lauren.

"Hi, Rose. You sound like your momma," I said. "I get that all the time," Rosalie said. "Are you girls having fun at cheer camp?" I asked.

"We are," Bridgette and Rosalie said. "That's good," I said. "Well, Momma, I just wanted to call you since I miss you all," Bridgette said.

"I miss you too," I said. "How's Irelynd and FJ?" she asked. "They went on vacation with Daddy Fergal and his girlfriend Sierra," I said.

"Daddy Fergal told me that you met Sierra. How did that go?" she asked. "It went pretty well. I didn't expect her to be nice and sweet," I said.

"At least you got to meet her," she said. "Yeah, but she wanted to meet me without Fergal. So I met her and went to lunch and she was surprisingly nice. I thought she was going to be mean like Daddy Fergal," I said.

"That's good. I can't wait to come home in a few weeks," she said. "I know. We miss you bunches," I said.

"Miss you too. Well I have to go, it's almost bedtime," she said. "Okay. Have fun and you call me anytime, okay?" I asked.

"Okay, Momma. Love you," she said. "Love you too," I said, ending the call. I headed back to the locker room.

"Was that Bridgette?" Cassidy asked. "Yes, she's having fun at cheer camp," I said. "That's good. I miss my niece," she said.

"I miss her too. It's her first time at cheer camp. Her and Lauren's daughter Rosalie wanted to go to cheer camp together and I talked to Lauren and she was okay with it," I said.

"That's good. Tomorrow, I'm going shopping to look for my dream wedding dress. I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?" she asked.

"Of course I do. Do you and Drew have a date set for the wedding?" I asked. "No, because we're so busy with working, him traveling again with the WWE Universe, etc. I figure I try on dresses to see what I like and don't like on me," she said.

I nodded. "That's always a good idea. Who's all going?" I asked. "Well, you, my adoptive mother, and a few friends from high school," she said.

"Where did you go to school?" I asked. "My parents are, well, adoptive parents, they were originally from Brawley, California but moved to Venice, California and went to school there," she said.

"Ohh well, good thing they're from California," I said. "Yes, I will always be a Cali girl," she said. I nodded.

"That's true. I was raised in Brawley, California but moved to San Diego, California," I said. Cassidy nodded.

"Brawley's a small town?" she asked. "Yes and a country town. We were raised as farm kids," I said.

"Oh wow," she said. "Yeah. So where's your dress appointment at?" I asked. "It's called Lily's Bridal here in Orlando at 3pm," she said.

I nodded. "Sounds good. I will be there for you," I said. "Sweet. I can't wait," she said, smiling.

Next Day

Cassidy and I arrived at Lily's Bridal. I just met her adoptive mother, Bernice, and her friends; Marine, Victoria, and Dalani.

"This is my twin sister, Jaelyn," Cassidy finished introducing me to her family. "Hello, welcome to Lily's Bridal, who's the bride?" Cassidy's consultant asked.

"I am. My name is Cassidy," I said. "Nice to meet you, Cassidy. Who have you brought with you?" the consultant asked.

"I have my adoptive mother, Bernice and my friends from high school; Marine, Victoria and Dalani and my biological sister, Jaelyn," Cassidy asked.

"Nice to meet you all. Who's the lucky man?" she asked. "His name is Andrew Galloway, on tv he goes by Drew McIntyre. She's a professional wrestler and former WWE Champion," Cassidy asked.

"Congratulations. So where's the wedding?" the consultant asked. "Not sure. We haven't had anything planned yet because Drew's gonna be on the road soon and I will be starting my career in NXT. I just want to try on dresses to see what I like or don't like on me," Cassidy said.

"Okay. So what kind of dress do you see yourself in?" the consultant asked. "I want something sexy that shows. I will try any dress. However, my adoptive mother wants to cover up my chest and a lace dress," Cassidy said.

"Well, I think lace will look good on her and she has too much boobs," Bernice said. "I told her that I will try on conservative dress. However, Drew wants me in something that makes me me and different," Casssidy said.

"Okay. Like something white?" the consultant asked. "Not white, something ivory," I said. "Sounds good. Let's go look for some dresses," the consultant said.

We all sat down as Cassidy tried on dresses that she picked out to try. "So Jaelyn, how's your mom and dad doing?" Bernice asked.

"My parents divorced when I was young. My dad remarried and so did my mom," I said. "That's good. How's your siblings?" Bernice asked.

"They're good," I said. "Here she comes," the consultant said. We see Cassidy wearing a ballgown dress with lace sleeves and sheer to neck.

"Cassidy, that's pretty," Bernice said. "It's what you picked out," Cassidy said. I looked at it and I shook my head.

"What do you think of it?" the consultant asked. "Um.. to be honest, it is choking me here on my neck. I do like the lace but this is not it," Cassidy said.

"I love Cassidy but it's totally up to you," Bernice said. "It's not the one," Marine said. "Jaelyn?" Cassidy asked.

"It's too old fashioned and it's not Cassidy," I said. "Back to the dressing room," Cassidy said, picking up the skirt.

---

Cassidy came back out in a ball gown dress with a lace bustier. "Oh my god," I whispered. "Cassidy, that's beautiful," Victoria said.

Cassidy steps up with a big smile on her face. "I really love this one. It's got the lace that my adoptive mother wanted, it's sexy and stunning. I feel like it's the one but I'd like to have a strap on the dress since my bust," Cassidy said.

"We can always add a strap to the dress. What do you ladies think?" the consultant asked. "I love it, it's beautiful," Bernice said.

"I see your face glowing," Marine said. "It's Cassidy," Victoria and Dalani said. "Jaelyn, what do you think?" Cassidy asked.

"It's gorgeous. It's Cassidy," I said. Cassidy smiles softly. "Is this the one or?" the consultant asked.

"I want to wait first. I'd like to try on more dresses," I said. The consultant nodded. "Plus, you can't plan a wedding without a venue and a theme," Bernice said.

Cassidy nodded. "That's true. Drew and I will talk about it. I know his mom wants to see me try on dresses," Cassidy said.

Later That Day

I finished wedding dress shopping with Cassidy. I got to meet her adoptive mom. Her mother's very sweet. I'm glad she raised Cassidy well.

I think my mom knew Cassidy's adoptive mom. I might have to ask her. I pulled into my garage

I am home by myself. I miss my kids already. I looked on Instagram, seeing Fergal's stories. I see Irelynd and FJ having fun in Mexico.

I called Fergal to check on the twins. My phone continued to ring. The FaceTime sound dings. "Hi, Jaelyn," Fergal said.

"May I speak to the twins?" I asked. "Sure. Lyn-Lyn, FJ, Mommy wants to talk to you," Fergal called for them.

I see Irelynd and FJ pop on the screen. "Hi, Mommy!" the twins said. "Hi, are you guys having fun in Mexico with Daddy?" I asked.

"We are," the twins said. "Miss you, Mommy," Irelynd said. "I miss you too," I said. "Can you come to Mexico, Mommy?" FJ said.

"No, it's your time with your daddy before he goes to Smackdown," I said. "Okay," the twins said. "How was NXT last night?" Fergal asked.

"It was good. Io and I have a championship opportunity next Tuesday," I said. "That's awesome. Best of luck to you," he said.

"Thanks Fergal. How's Sierra doing with the twins?" I asked. "She's good, she and the twins are getting along," he said.

"Well that's good. As long as she and the twins get along, that's all that matters," I said. "Thanks, Jaelyn," he said.

"No problem. Now, I'm gonna do some cleaning," I said. "Okay, kids say bye to Mommy," he said.

"Bye, Mommy," the twins said. "Bye, twins. Listen to Daddy," I said. "We will," FJ said. "We will, Mommy. Love you," Irelynd said.

"Love you too. Have a good time in Mexico," I said. "They will. We're gonna go to Ireland to see my family and their cousins," Fergal said.

"Ohh, your parents would love that to see their grandkids. Is Sierra going to?" I asked. "No, she's heading back to Orlando for work. Plus, they don't know why we divorced. I told them that we fell out of love and couldn't pretend to be happy," he said.

"At least we're co-parenting, that's all that matters," I said. "I know. Well, I gotta go. We will be back in Orlando in less than two weeks," he said.

"Okay. I hope you four have a good vacation. Bye, Fergal," I said. "Bye, Jae," he said. I ended the FaceTime call with Fergal.

I heard my phone ring, seeing who's calling me on FaceTime. I see Daniel calling me. I answered it, with a smile on my face.

"Hey, Daniel," I said. "Hey, Jaelyn. How are you?" Daniel asked. "I'm good, just got off the phone with Fergal to check on my kids," I said.

"That's good. How did it go?" he asked. "It went well. How are you?" I asked. "I'm good. I have my kids here," he said.

"That's good. What are they up to?" I asked. "Erik's playing video games, Davena is watching Vampire Diaries," he said.

"How are they liking Florida?" I asked. "Oh they love it. They don't like the heat but they do love going to the beach and all," he said.

"At least they're visiting their dad for the summer," I said. "Yeah. As long as they don't have a summer romance, especially my daughter," he said.

"I'm sorry for asking but is Davena boy crazy?" I asked. "Yes, she is," he said. "Good thing Bridgette is at that age where she believes boys have cooties," I said.

"Lucky you. Kids grow up too fast," he said. "That's true. Irelynd and FJ are twins and I'm glad they are too little," I said.

"How old are the twins?" he asked. "They're 2, will be 3 in October," I said. "Wow, they have plenty of time," he said.

I nodded. "They do. So what are you doing?" I asked. "Just relaxing. I was working on my in-ring character for NXT before my debut," he said.

"How did that go?" I asked. "It's not easy but I want my character to be similar to my character while being in Japan, Germany, etc but I have to keep it PG tho," he said.

"If you need help with that, you can ask me," I said. "I will. So what made you be the Rebel Bella character?" he asked.

"Dusty Rhodes. NXT wanted me to go blonde, then Dusty told me not to dye my hair blonde because he knew that I was a rebel and was different from my sisters. I figured I would be the Rebel Bella and I've been the Rebel since then," I said.

"That's good. I liked your Rebel Bella character. Your heel character with Fergal was different," he said.

"Yeah, it was. At least I tried to create a faction but it ended due to the pandemic," I said. "That happens. Well, I wanted to see what you were doing. I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out?" he asked.

"We can. You and Marcel are taking turns to date me," I said. "Sweet and that's true. But in the end, you have to choose between us. Only when you're ready," he said.

"Well, you swept me off my feet last time," I said, smiling. "Yes, I did. I can't wait to do that again," he said, winking at me.

I try not to blush or smile. "Oh my," I whispered. Daniel chuckled softly. "I can tell you enjoyed it when I swept you off your feet and kissed you," he said, chuckled.

I smiled softly, biting my lip. "Yeah, so does Friday sound okay?" I asked. "Yeah, we can hang Friday," he said.
