50.

Joe
I couldn't believe that I was on the road to fatherhood for the first time in my life. Being a father was something I've always wanted and I couldn't wait to meet my future son or daughter when it's time.

I looked over at Chloe with the warmest smile on my face. She looked radiant and even more beautiful than ever and I was more than determined to make her the happiest woman alive comes WrestleMania.

I pressed my hand gently against her stomach.

"Do you think we're having a boy or a girl?"

"I'm fine with either."

I smiled, "Me too. If I have a little boy, I'm gonna teach him some wrestling and football. Maybe he'll be just like his daddy once he's all grown up."

"And what if we have a little girl?"

"That's all up to you, baby." I smiled.

We took in this moment in pure bliss knowing that we were close to becoming parents already and I couldn't wait to surprise Chloe in a month.

"Have you told Colby, Rebecca and Emma yet?" I asked.

She shakes her head, "Not yet. I only talked with Jon and Renee about it because they knew I was a little off about things earlier and they pulled me to the side and we discussed the pregnancy and Jon told me how you've always wanted to be a father."

"He's right. I remember when Colby and Rebecca had their daughter and how Jon and Renee had theirs, too; and it makes me wonder if we'll have a daughter too."

"I believe we will. It seems like you three are about to be all girl dads. It's a possibility, Joe."

"Who knows." I smiled.

Then I remained silent for a moment. I've been with Chloe all this time and I never had the opportunity to have her meet my cousins or my parents.

I sit down at my side of the bed with my hands hung over my knees and was deep into thought about her finally meeting my parents and cousins.

"Baby, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure, what's up?"

"I'd like for you to meet my family sometime."

"Really? I'd love to!"

"Although, my parents live in my hometown of Pensacola, Florida and we'd have to make a trip to the airport. I don't want it to be an issue with you or the baby."

"It wouldn't be. And besides, don't you have three cousins who work with you? I've seen them on the shows before but I never met them."

"Yeah. I was thinking maybe we can all meet up at my parents' house and you can meet everyone that way."

"I like that. I just hope that they like me."

"Trust me, they will." I chuckled, "Two of them have been hounding at me to let you meet them already."

"Oh wow." She flashed a smile, "Let's plan our trip! But wait, I just realized something."

I cocked an eyebrow, "What's up?"

"What about our puppy, Zeus?"

"I already had an idea with that. We can have Emma come and stay with Zeus so he's not alone and she can take care of him while we're gone for awhile." I insisted.

"That works with me. I'll call her in a few minutes while we're getting packed."

Chloe
I was nervous to meet Joe's family. Not only his parents, but also his three cousins. Although I was leaving tomorrow, I needed to call Emma and ask her the question before my mind went elsewhere.

"Hey girl! Is everything alright?" Emma asked.

"Yeah! I actually called you because Joe and I have a favor to ask from you."

"What's up?"

"Well, we're leaving to Pensacola, Florida tomorrow because I'm meeting his family and we need someone who can babysit Zeus while we're gone. Are you up for it?"

"Of course! Girl, I love puppies and I'll make sure he's taken care of."

"Thank you so much, Emma. We appreciate this more than you know."

Because I had my phone on speaker, Joe began to speak loudly from afar while he was packing some of his clothes into a suitcase.

"Emma, I'll be willing to pay you two grand for taking care of Zeus, too."

"T-Two grand? Joe, are you serious?"

"I wouldn't lie to you, Emma. It truly means a lot that you're willing to do all of this while we're gone. And please make sure our home is safe and secure too."

"Will do! But how long will you two be gone? I have to balance things out between work and coming over to take care of Zeus."

"Maybe for a few days. We'll even call back and forth to check on you and Zeus in the meantime."

"Sure thing. I'll make sure everything is perfect the entire time while you two are gone!"

"Emma, I'm so thankful to have a best friend like you. I don't know what we'd ever do without you."

"Aw, I'm flattered!" She smiled, "I'll let you two get to packing and I'll see you two in the morning."

"Bet." Joe replied.

We finished packing our belongings for awhile and made sure everything was together before we laid down on the bed for the night.

Joe was silent for a moment while he looked up at the ceiling. He looked content and he still had a warm smile on his face.

"I still can't believe I'm gonna be a father." He flashed a smile, "This is all I've ever wanted in life. A woman who loved me unconditionally and a baby."

"I'm excited, but nervous about this pregnancy."

"How come, baby?"

"I don't want anything bad to happen to our baby, Joe."

"Nah, I wouldn't let anything happen. You two are my whole priority and I'd do anything for you both." He says, pressing his hand gently against my stomach, "You have my word, baby."

Joe was definitely going to be an amazing father and I couldn't wait for the day we could finally see our child after nine months are up. I couldn't help but to think...

What should we name them?

The Next Day

We woke up early in the morning and we heard knocking on the door.

"Do you think that's Emma?"

"It should be."

Joe walked over towards the door and opened it to seeing Emma with a few suitcases and a plastic bag in her hands.

"Hey Joe! Hey Chloe!"

"Hey, what's with all of the luggage?" He asked.

"I figured I'd stay at your house for awhile and take care of Zeus. And I managed to get the next few days off of work so he won't be left unattended the entire time."

"Thank you, Emma. Chloe and I appreciate you so much for everything."

I came into the foyer and seen Joe conversing with Emma at the door. I was still feeling nausea from the pregnancy while making my way towards them.

"Hey girl!"

"Hey, Chloe." Emma said, reeling me into a hug, "Hey, are you alright?"

"Wh-What do you mean?" I asked.

"You look like you're feeling sick and about to throw up. Are you sure you're gonna be okay on the flight?"

"She'll be okay." Joe said, then his head looked towards me and he whispered, "Did you tell her that you're pregnant?"

I shook my head, "No, I haven't."

I looked up at Emma.

"Emma, we need to tell you something."

"What's going on, you two?"

"We're expecting a baby together."

"Wait, you're pregnant?"

I nodded.

"Chloe! I'm so happy for you and Joe. I'm gonna be an auntie!"

We both smiled and pulled her into a hug.

"Definitely. They're gonna love being around Auntie Emma."

"I love that name. It has a nice little ring to it, huh?"

"It sure does." Joe laughed.

I looked down at my watch and realized we only had a half hour to get to the airport before our flight.

"Babe, our flight..."

"Chloe, I booked us a private jet."

"You did? I thought we were taking a basic flight from Toronto to Pensacola?"

He smiled, "You deserve a first class flight in a private jet, baby. You're carrying our child and I want nothing but the best for you and the baby."

"You two are so fucking cute together!" Emma cooed.

"Thank you, Emma." He flashed a smile. "We have to get going but if you need any reminders or help with anything, feel free to call us."

"Of course! And the house, along with Zeus, are in good hands with me."

I replied, "We appreciate it."

After we said our goodbyes, we headed over to the airport and caught our flight on the private jet to Pensacola, Florida.
