With You (Sasha Banks x Dean Ambrose)

198

"Hey guys." Jacob said the next morning after week nine's episode. He see Bryton, Claire, Asher, and Jax as they were all arriving for rehearsals.

"Hey, how's our girl?" Bryton asked.

"Yeah we haven't heard from her all morning." Claire anxiously expressed as it was ten in the morning by the time they all got to rehearsals.

"She's still sleeping." Jacob said, laughing a bit as the two girls' facial expressions calmed down a bit.

"Oh, well okay then." Bryton said as she felt a bit relieved.

"Is she okay? Is the injury bad?" Claire asked as they walked into the studio room to begin warming up.

"Yeah she's alright. It's a sprain, so she just needs to lay low for the next week or two. Mom and dad are keeping Everleigh until tomorrow as they took her last night to give her a break and let her rest." He informed them as they were all relieved that Callie's injury was nothing detrimental.

The next day, Callie was coming to Jacob and Bryton's rehearsal. She choreographed a hip hop routine for her fiancé and soul sister to do, not knowing how far they were into it yet. Claire was stepping in to help Jacob and Bryton rehearse as she knew the choreography as well. Callie wanted to see how things were going after getting breakfast with her lifelong best friend.

"Hey, there's my beautiful girl." Jacob grinned as he saw Callie and Claire make their way into the studio room.

"Yep, crutches and all." Callie gave off a laugh before kissing her fiancé. They helped her get comfortable on the bench, propping her knee up as she just had to take it easy.

"Alright, are we ready?" Claire asked as they stretched and warmed up ahead of rehearsals.

"Run through the first part of it for me." Callie said before pulling out her ice pack ice her knee. The two, with the help of Claire, began running through the first part of the dance. However, it was a mess and Callie was not thrilled.

"What was that?" Callie asked as she furrowed her brows at Jacob and Bryton.

"What?" Bryton asked as she and Jacob turned to look at Callie.

"That was a mess. It's giving no energy, it's giving you two just rolled out of the hot mess express." Callie sighed as the dance was nowhere near put together.

"They just started learning it yesterday, Cal. I've been helping too." Claire said, trying to calm her friend down. They ran through the choreography fully as Callie was getting frustrated as they should be cleaning it up today, given Bryton and Jacob had two more routines to rehearse ahead of Monday.

"Oh my gosh," Callie shook her head, trying to stand up but was limping. Claire caught wind and caught her friend, throwing her over her shoulder.

"Claire Madeline Bennett!" Callie exclaimed as she felt defeated while her best friend carefully sat her down. Jacob and Bryton couldn't help but laugh at the situation a bit.

"Callie Renee Good, soon to be Carter!" Claire retorted as Callie couldn't help but let out a laugh even if she was frustrated.

"Keep your ass on the bench or I'll pull out my mom card again. We need you healthy. We will get through this." She raised a brow as Callie sighed in defeat.

"Fine mom, I'll stay on the bench." Callie teased and laughed as did the other three before getting back to work.

Monday rolled around as it was now week ten of the competition. Four weeks were left with six competitors remaining in the competition. Jacob and Bryton were two of those competitors left. They were still trying to make it to the finale as tonight would be another opportunity for them to do just that.

Jacob and Bryton had three routines, all together as three duets. Two were hip hop and one was contemporary. Their contemporary routine would kick off the show, followed by their first hip hop routine being third in the show. Then, they would close out the show with their second hip hop routine, but third and final dance of the night.

Jacob and Bryton's contemporary routine would be to the song Train Wreck by James Arthur. Their first hip hop routine would be to the song Swimming Pools by Kendrick Lamar. Their second hip hop routine, but third and final routine, would be to the song Blow A Check by Zoey Dollas. That was the one that Callie choreographed. She just hoped both her fiancé and soul sister did great and would continue on to week eleven, which would be Halloween night.

"You ready to go watch daddy, baby?" Callie asked as she and Everleigh were cuddling together before taking a nap. Since Callie was injured, she was able to be with Everleigh more, so she was enjoying the one on one time with her daughter ahead of the show.

"Daddy dance!" Everleigh grinned at her mother while clinging on to her.

"Yep, we're gonna watch daddy dance with Auntie Bry, baby. It's gonna be so much fun." She smiled, kissing her baby girl's cheek and rubbing her back.

"Fun!" Everleigh squealed while still clinging on to her mama.

"So much fun, sweet girl. We just need to take a nap first." Callie assured her as the two snuggled together before taking a nap ahead of the show.

Later that evening, Callie and Everleigh, along with the rest of the family, arrived for the show. Callie was out of her brace and off her crutches, so tomorrow would be the definitive answer as if she was cleared or not. She was hopeful to be back in time for next week, Halloween night. It was her favorite holiday next to Christmas after all.

"Aww, my girls! You both look so beautiful." Jacob grinned as he saw Callie and Everleigh backstage.

Callie wore a simple, tight fitting and elegant, black jumpsuit with black and white Nike low dunks. She wanted to be comfy and casual, but still looked nice. She had her hair in a low ponytail that was curled, soft makeup. Everleigh wore a cute, lavender jumpsuit with a denim jacket, Callie styling her hair in little pigtails. Both girls were excited to see Jacob ahead of the show.

"Thank you baby, we're so excited to watch you!" Callie grinned, lovingly kissing her fiancé as he took Everleigh to hug his daughter.

"I'm glad you guys are here. And I'm glad your knee is doing better, gorgeous." He said as he pulled Callie in with his free arm, the three enjoying their bit of family time before the show would begin.

That evening, the show began. Jacob and Bryton's contemporary routine was beautiful. It was one of the best the two have done on this show and thus far. Their first hip hop routine to Swimming Pools was great as well. They closed the show with their final performance after showing the video package.

The fans got a good laugh out of Callie being strict as a choreographer. It was refreshing to see the four of them rehearsing together last week and they found it even more funny with Claire and Callie's interaction. Shortly afterwards, the dance began. The choreography was great, adding another feather to Callie's cap in the dance world. It was smooth, spunky, showcasing both dancers' talents well. Everyone was on their feet for them, Callie feeling immense pride for her future husband and soul sister.

"Just a fun question, what was it like for the two of you to have Callie as your choreographer?" The host asked as the camera glanced over to Callie, holding Everleigh, and laughing and turned back to Jacob and Bryton.

"She's tough!" Bryton teased, making them laugh.

"Callie is very, very strict, but she has a vision. She's very articulate, intricate, and definitely a visual sense of style with dance. It doesn't matter what style she's choreographing or doing. Even with the injury, it was so much fun to have her. And we have to thank Claire for helping as well." Jacob grinned as they applauded and got ready for eliminations.

During eliminations, it got slightly scary as Bryton ended up being in the bottom three. Luckily, she had enough votes to keep her on. So, she and Jacob would advance to week eleven. That would be Halloween night and Halloween week in general for the show. They hoped Callie would be cleared to join them.

"Now, we just wait for next week and to see if you're cleared." Jacob said while briefly sitting with Callie and Everleigh back in the dressing room.

"Fingers crossed." Callie smiled while enjoying the time post show and feeling hopeful for the next week.
