51.

Joe
I was excited for Chloe to meet my family for the very first time in Pensacola, Florida. After we boarded the flight on our private jet, she struggled to get comfortable after sitting in her nicely, cushioned chair next to me.

"Hey, are you alright?"

She sighed, "Kind of. I'm struggling to get comfortable in this chair."

I looked up at the extra pillows that they had stashed above us and I pulled a few out, making sure Chloe was feeling relaxed during the entire flight.

I placed a few more comfortable and soft pillows around her head and her back for comfort and she started to smile.

"How's that?"

"I feel so much better, Joe."

I smiled, "Good."

We finally got adjusted into our seats and began our 8-hour flight towards Pensacola.

Chloe
After I started getting comfortable for our long flight, I was beginning to finally feel relaxed and at ease for the first time since this morning.

I was nervous to meet Joe's family, if not his entire family. I've heard so much about Jonathan, Josh and Joseph but never had the opportunity to meet them.

I turned my head to the side and seen Joe looking at his phone and he had his Airpods in his ears, listening to Drake and 21 Savage on Spotify.

I tapped on his shoulder and he slightly jumped until he realized that I was getting his attention.

"Is everything okay, babe?"

"Yeah!" I exclaimed, "I'm just a little nervous about meeting your family."

He smiled, "Theres nothing to worry about, Chloe. My family will love you and I know they'd be a lot happier knowing that I have you instead of that bitch."

Hearing his comment towards his ex-wife, I started laughing and he did the same. I loved these little moments between Joe and I; and I couldn't wait to bring our child into the world in just a few months.

Eight Hours Later

I was asleep in my chair until I felt Joe tapping on my shoulder and felt his hot breath whispering in my ear.

"Baby, we gotta get off the plane now; we're here."

"Huh?" I sat up, rubbing my tired eyes, "Fun! Let me stand up and get our luggage."

I attempted to stand up and grab some of our luggage until I almost fell over from exhaustion and Joe caught me in time.

"Chloe! Are you alright?"

I sighed of relief, "Yeah. I'm glad that I didn't fall over."

"Me either."

Joe was quick to grab our luggage and we made our way off of the private jet. Then, he called an Uber while I heard my phone beginning to vibrate as I received a text from Emma.

"Hey Chloe. Everything is going well at the house and little Zeus has taken a liking to me! Also, I hope you don't mind that I eat some of the food you two have the fridge?"

I replied, "You can get some food out of the fridge, we don't mind."

Putting my phone back in my pocket, Joe finally hung up with the Uber and glanced over to smile at me.

"Ready to head over there?"

"Of course! I'm still feeling nervous either way."

Joe gently reeled me into a hug, "Chloe. It's gonna be alright. My family's gonna love you and treat you like family the moment they meet you."

"I'd love that."

Five minutes passed and the Uber arrived to pick us up. I was nervous to meet Joe's family although he knew that they'd love me at first sight.

It was a somewhat lengthy drive to his childhood home and I was anxious but a little excited to finally meet his family for the first time.

Thirty Minutes Later

We arrived to Joe's house and it was beautiful. When we stepped out of the car, I watched a woman run out from the house and wrap her arms around him.

"Joe! What a nice surprise to see you again!"

"It's nice to see you too, mom."

After they exchanged a hug, she glanced over at me with a smile on her face.

"Who's your friend, son?"

He smiled, "She's actually my girlfriend."

"Girlfriend? Son, I thought you were married to Galina!"

He shook his head, "Nah, not anymore, mother."

"How come? What happened?"

"It's a long story, but I'll be more than glad to explain with the entire family with Chloe at my side."

She nods, "That's fine with me."

We all walked inside and Joe greeted his whole family, until I seen his three cousins coming downstairs.

"Hey Uce!" Jonathan shouted.

"Where's your girl at? We wanna meet her!" Said Josh.

"She's actually right next to me."

Jonathan, Josh and Joseph all three sat around me and Joe on the huge brown, leather couch with smiles on their faces.

"It's finally nice to meet you, Chloe. Joe's said a lot of amazing things about you, Uce!" Jonathan said.

"It's nice to meet you three as well."

Joe's mother interrupted, "It's nice to meet you, Chloe. But I cannot help but to ask Joe about what happened with his ex-wife since everyone's in here."

"Alright, I'll explain what happened between Galina and I." Joe clears his throat, "Listen everyone, Galina and I had a lot of issues in our marriage. We're divorced, but she always abused me mentally, emotionally, verbally and even sometimes physically."

"And you took all of that, son?"

"I did at the time because I used to love her, but one day I had enough and filed for a divorce. The entire marriage was nothing but toxic and draining. It was causing me to lash out at Jonathan and Josh during the shows and she would constantly manipulate and gaslight me in the process. Not only that, but Galina seemed to love me for my money it seemed."

"Joe, I'm so sorry that she treated you like that. Honestly, I never liked her anyways. She always had that snooty, mean girl attitude." His mother said.

"Yeah." He nodded, "But then I found the right woman for me right after the divorce and her name's Chloe. She's been an amazing girlfriend towards me for almost an entire year and she's actually not from Pensacola like we are."

"Oh?" His mother raised an eyebrow, "Where are you from, Chloe?"

"I'm actually from Toronto."

"Canada? How did you two meet each other?"

Joe interrupted, "We met after a WWE event in her city. Her best friend had a backstage pass for her, but she couldn't go due to work; thankfully Chloe bumped into me one night and we suddenly had this connection with each other." He smiles, "She's been incredible to me, mom."

Joe's mother looked unsure of me for awhile until I noticed her smiling at the both of us, along with his cousins and father.

"If you make Joe happy, then that makes all of us happy, Chloe. I'm thankful that Joe finally found a woman that loves him for him and not his money."

"Of course! I love your son for the man that he is and for being there for me when I needed him the most. We both hate Galina for everything she's done in the past."

"Y'all are a cute couple." Josh intervened, "It's been so long since we've seen Joe actually happy in a relationship and we wanna see you two married!"

"Me too." Said Joseph.

"Yeah Uce. We'd see him drained at work and sometimes he'd snap at us but we somewhat understood because Galina was nothing but a snake towards him!" Jonathan replied.

"But thankfully it's all said and done and I finally have Chloe in my life." Joe smiled.

"And we're all thankful that you found a woman that respects you and loves you for you, son. You deserve to be happy and we welcome her into the family." His father, Sika, said.

"And I forgot to introduce myself to you earlier but I'm Patricia, Joe's mother. It's so nice to meet you!"

"It's nice to meet you too." I smiled.

I was excited that Joe's entire family started to like me. But the one thing we haven't announced yet was the pregnancy.

After dragging my luggage to Joe's old bedroom, he couldn't help but to raise an eyebrow when he seen me trying to lift things up the stairs.

"Slow down, babe. I'll take it from here. We don't need you stressing yourself out or hurting the baby."

"Thank you, Joe."

We went up to his bedroom for a moment and I sat down on the bed, allowing a small sigh to escape from my mouth.

Joe had finished sitting our luggage to the corner of his room and he noticed that I wasn't acting like my normal self.

"Baby, are you alright?"

"Yeah. I know I just met your family, but how are they gonna take it when we tell them that I'm carrying your baby?"

He smiled, "They'll be happy for us. Everyone knows how bad I've wanted to be a father and I've waited thirty-seven years for this moment."

"You have?"

"I have."

I watched Joe's hand gently trail against my stomach and he rubbed it with caution. Then, he moved his face down to my stomach and pressed his lips against it.

"Daddy's excited to meet you in a few months."

I blushed. Joe's never acted in this manner before and to me? It was precious that he was more than excited to meet our baby when it was time.

I watched as Joe lifted himself back up and looked into my eyes, pressing his lips against mine with passion until Josh walked in.

"Hey Uce. I know you're busy with your girl, but your momma wanted to tell me to inform you two that dinner's gonna be ready soon."

"Thanks, Uce. We'll be downstairs in a minute."

After he left the room, Joe looked at me with a warm smile on his face.

"Wanna tell the family that we're expecting?"

"I'd love that."

Joe and I prepared to head downstairs and have a nice, family dinner together. I was already thrilled to know that I was considered family already.

We all took a seat together and his mother presented us some Samoan dishes that we all loved. Before I could eat, Joe started to clear his throat.

"Everyone, Chloe and I have an announcement to share with all of you."

"What's that, son?" His father said.

"Well, Chloe and I have been keeping this a secret but we're expecting our first child together and we couldn't be anymore happier."

"Joe! I'm so happy for you and Chloe."

"Yeah, Uce. We're finally gonna be Uncle Jonathan, Josh and Joseph!" Said Josh.

"I'm very excited. I was nervous to share the news with everyone because I was even hesitant to tell Joe at the time."

"How come?" Patricia asked.

"Because I wanted to model for Victoria's Secret and my dream was to become a model for them. While Joe's bosses helped me find a way to model for the WWE merchandise, they also had a deal to have me model for Victoria's Secret, but I have to postpone until after the baby's born. But my dreams can wait because I'm more than excited to meet our child."

"Damn girl, a model? You'd kill it out there!" Joseph said.

"Thank you. But for now, the baby's my main priority."

"And Chloe, we all wish you a safe and healthy pregnancy. I know Joe will take good care of you the entire time."

After his entire family congratulated Joe and I on becoming parents, we finished eating dinner together and I couldn't keep a smile off of my face the entire night.

I was nervous that his family was going to hate me from the moment they met me, but I was wrong. I've never had a family become so close to me within a day and I couldn't be anymore thankful.

When Joe and I headed back to his bedroom for the night, he motioned his fingers to meet him at his bed.
