78.

Chloe
It's been a few days ever since Joe's been gone from the house due to work. The house over the past couple of days has felt empty; and the only one that was always able to keep me company for the time being was Zeus.

This pregnancy has been beating my ass for awhile. I couldn't stomach any of my meals, I started to develop a love-hate relationship with the food that I used to love; now disgusted with, and I've become more fatigued than usual.

I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror as I looked sickly in the face. I didn't feel like eating because I knew it would come back up and I was enduring cramps that felt like you were shoving sharpened knives inside of me.

Being pregnant, your emotions are always running rampant. Missing Joe started to take a toll on me to where I felt the tears beginning to well-up in my eyes. I was nearing close to bawling my eyes out over his absence.

I walked over to the bed and laid down for awhile. I pulled out my phone and looked at the pictures of Joe and I on our honeymoon. I was assuming that the pregnancy hormones were getting the best of me and I started crying over Joe's absence once again; although he was coming back soon.

However, Zeus was quick to notice me sobbing uncontrollably in the bed and quickly came to my aid as he laid down next to me in attempt to comfort me.

"You're such a good boy, Zeus." I say, petting the top of his head and ruffling his fur, "I just miss Joe so much."

His head raised up when I mentioned Joe. I remember taking Zeus into our home when he was just a puppy. We never found out who abused him, but now he was happily living a life full of luxury.

While I proceeded to lay back in bed and holding back my urge to vomit after eating a small ham and cheese sandwich from earlier, I received a call from Emma.

"Hey, Chloe."

"H-Hey." I stuttered.

Her demeanor dropped, "Are you alright, girl?"

"Yeah, I'm just feeling sick today."

"About that, I've been meaning to ask you, did the pregnancy test come out positive? Are you pregnant?"

I nodded, "Yeah. I'm a few weeks pregnant and this pregnancy is kicking my ass, Emma."

"Aw! I'm so happy that you and Joe are finally starting your road to parenthood, but how did he take the news?"

"He was beyond excited when he found out. His face lit up like a Christmas Tree once he looked at the positive tests."

She smiled, "Like Fergal and I said before, Chloe, this is yours and Joe's second chance at starting a family. No drama, no financial issues, and not anything negative."

"You're right and it's been lonely without Joe being here."

"I know how you're feeling. Fergal's gone for awhile, too. But I know one thing that'll put us in a better mood."

"A girls day out?" I implied.

A smile spread across her face, "You know it!"

"Emma, I don't know."

Her smile began to fade, "Is it because of your pregnancy?"

"Yeah. I'd love to have a girls day out, but I'm afraid of having an episode in public, like throwing up or having extreme nausea if we went out to eat."

"I understand."

"But I'm gonna consider it. I'll have to let Joe know in advance because he worries about me."

"He's such a good husband to you, Chloe. I can't wait for the day Fergal proposes to me."

"Me either. You're gonna make the cutest bride!"

"You're too much, Chloe. I'll be over there in a few minutes, and I'll probably take us elsewhere because I don't want you to feel sick if we went out to eat."

"That works with me!"

Joe
I headed into work and was greeted by the majority of my co-workers. I've been on a small absence from the WWE due to Chloe and I's honeymoon and the company was in dire need for me to return.

"Welcome back, Uce!"

I walked up to Jimmy and reeled him into a one-second hug, "Thanks man. It's been awhile since I seen all of you!"

"It's been a minute. How was the honeymoon?"

"I can't begin to put it into words, Uce. It was amazing and I made so many memories with Chloe over those past two weeks."

"I'm happy for you, man." Josh added.

While I was conversing with my cousins, I was met with Paul who had his arms out for me.

"Joe! It's so nice to see you again."

"Nice to see you too, Wiseman." I smiled, reeling Paul into a hug, "How are you?"

"Doing well, thank you for asking! I'm just working on some ideas that we could do for The Bloodline."

"Oh? And what's that, Wiseman?"

"I held a conversation with Hunter earlier last week and he believes that we should hint at ending the faction in the coming months."

"Having The Bloodline implode?" Jonathan chimed in.

"Yes sir. I believe we should work towards a main focus of Joe mistreating to you and your brothers, Josh and Joseph, then we can start having them implode at the Night of Champions pay-per-view event. Starting off with Jonathan leaving first, then Josh, and soon, Joseph."

"That's not a bad idea, Paul."

"Yeah man. We're down for the storyline. Let's give the fans something to look back on." Joseph says.

"You in, Josh?"

He nods.

We settled some things before we went out and finished off SmackDown for the remainder of the show. A couple of hours later, we left the arena and decided to head out towards the local bar.

"Wanna get wasted, Uce?"

I shook my head, "Nah. I'll be your designated driver because you three are going to be out of it comes the end of the night." I laughed.

"Fine with us, Uce."

They went and ordered some beer while I ordered a glass of water. I was always the one in the family that preferred drinking on occasion. I couldn't help but to think about Chloe and how she was feeling right now.

Worried, I pulled out my phone and decided to call her while my cousins were having fun with a glass of beer in their hands.

"Hello?"

"Hey baby."

"I'm so glad that you called Joe. I miss you so much and I'm out with Emma right now. She wanted to take me out shopping since I've been staying home a lot."

"I'm glad that Emma took you out for awhile babe. You need to get some fresh air every now and then."

"Yeah, you're right. I just have this issue with being afraid to leave the house because I'm afraid I'll throw up in front of everyone due to the pregnancy."

"I understand, baby. I'll be home as soon as possible. I'm just at the bar with my cousins; although I chose not to have a beer tonight."

"That sounds like fun. I'll see you later, Joe. Emma wants me to also step into my workplace and see if they'll still let me model for Victoria's Secret in a maternity fashion show."

"Hopefully they will. I don't see why they wouldn't."

"Me either. Wish me luck!"

"I do, baby."

After we hung up the phone, I glanced over to my left and seen Jonathan and Josh goofing around with Joseph.

"Uce! Uce! Come get a drink with us."

"I already told you three that I'm gonna be driving all of us back to the hotel for the night. And besides, I have to focus on getting home tomorrow to check on Chloe."

"Is she alright?" Joseph asked.

"Yeah, man."

I was still waiting to keep the pregnancy a secret until we were able to get everyone together for the special announcement. It meant a lot to Chloe to have everyone at our home in Toronto to make the announcement that we were expecting a baby together. The thought of me becoming a father brought a warm smile to my face.

After the boys finished having a drink, I drove them back to the hotel and checked into their rooms for them and escorted them to their doors.

"Goodnight, guys. I'll see you three later."

I walked back to my hotel room and was met with a random woman that suddenly bumped into me in the middle of the hallway.
