After the groups trip to Cancun, Royce returned back home still feeling under the weather but kept progressing nonetheless. Her and Neels had moved into an apartment just down the street from her parents neighborhood.

"The last box." Neels huffed and tossed it in the trash. "Who knew moving could be so much."

"Well Mr. Model not everyone has assistants and companies setting up everything for them." Royce teased.

"Ha ha." Neels smiled. "Are you still going to Nikki's house warming party?"

Nicole had bought a new investment house in Orlando and organized a party to show off, inviting close friends and family, and more specifically half of the WWE roster.

"Yeah, you're gonna meet me there right?"

He nodded. "I'll be an hour late because they're trying to find a replacement photographer so some things are being shifted around but I'll still make it."

"Alright, sounds good. I'm gonna drop Jax off at Joe's parents house around five." She said as she began packing one of the diaper bags.

"Text me when you get there and to the party okay?" Neels kissed her cheek before grabbing his keys. "I love you, see you later babe."

"Bye Channing Tatum, love you. Good luck at the shoot!"

"Hi dear!" Joe's mom, Patricia greeted Royce in the driveway.

Despite her disliking for Royce during her and her sons marriage, after the divorce Patricia actually grew very fond of the mother to her grandchild. She felt for Royce and was highly disappointing in her sons actions. The two talked almost every day, especially when Royce and Joe weren't on the best of terms. Now Patricia would do anything for the young girl and especially for Jaxson Koa.

"Hey Patricia how are you?" Royce smiled and gave her a hug before taking Jax out of the car.

"Better now that I get to spend some time with this little guy." She grinned, looking at Jax who was fast asleep in his car seat. "I'll grab the diaper bag, please go in! Make yourself at home."

Royce walked up the steps past the front door. Her house was very cozy and undoubtedly welcoming. She set the car seat on the couch and began taking Jax out who woke up.

"Can I get you anything to drink or eat?" Patricia asked.

Royce shook her head. "No thank you though. I'm actually on my way to Nikki's home warming party?"

"You know he's goin–"

"Hey mom did I leave my wallet here?" A voice interrupted.

Joe walked into the living room but stopped suddenly once he seen Royce sitting there. "Hey..."

"Oh.. hi Joe." Royce awkwardly said.

"Sorry I didn't know he was going to come back." Patricia sent Royce an apologetic look.

"It's okay really." She said. "I was just on my way to Nikki's house."

"Yeah me too." Joe chimed in. "I just forgot my wallet in the car. Hey Jaxson," he went over and kissed his son.

Royce handed him to Joe who held him for a moment then passed him to Patricia.
