Three years have past since Jade got her contact, we tried doing her fights out of Pittsburgh, but we ended up moving to California, buying a huge house, but keeping grandmas for when we go back home. Jade, in the process has fought her way up the ranks, and she has yet to lose a fight. Ronda, after losing her fight to Holly Holm, has been doing movies for a while, training her ass off on the side to ready herself to get back in the ring, but her and Jade also made their relationship official.

Tonight, Jade faced Holly Holm, fighting her for the bantamweight belt, but we knew there was a little vengeance in there for Ronda. And Conor, after anticipating his fight for so long, finally stood head to head with Jose Aldo for his chance for the belt.

Naturally, they both took it and Jade, not only had her belt, but wad the bantamweight champion of the world and I couldn't express how proud I was for her.

"Look at you" I smiled at her, looking at the belt she held proudly over her shoulder "fuckin' champ" she hugged me and we both had a moment, knowing just how badly she fought for this .
"Where's the little guy?!" Conor yelled excitedly. My son, Kian was his biggest supporter.

"Tommy took him to bed, it's late" Conor laughed, setting down his belt on the table.

"Bullshit, you know he was awake watching the fights" Jade laughed and I rolled my eyes, knowing Tommy would've given in to Kians big blue eyes. I looked around the house, god it was so much more beautiful than our house in Pittsburgh, and we could have whatever we wanted, and we could get it in different colours. I heard a door open from upstairs and little footsteps pounding as Kian ran down the stairs, Koda, much older now trailing behind him and Tommy walking down slowly, smiling at me as he saw me.

"TIRTEEN SECONDS!" Was all Kian could say as he ran into his arms "UNCLE CONOR TIRTEEN SECONDS!" Conor laughed kissing his head. Kian smiled at me and stretched out his arms to me. "Mommy! TIRTEEN-" he cut himself off quickly before noticing Jade. "AUNTY JADE BEAT HOLLY CHRISTMAS" Tommy laughed as I handed our son to Jade, he held her face with his little hands "I pwoud of you" he hugged her tight and Jade smiled at me, "wove you" he mumbled into her shoulder.

The front door opened and in walked Frank Campana, who came down to help Jade train for her fight. "WHERES MY CHAMP?!?" He walked to her, hugging her and Kian as they laughed. Brendan, Tess and his two girls walked in as well, coming down two days ago just To support Jade for the fight. Jade let Kian down and he ran to Tommy, climbing up on his legs with ease and sitting on his shoulders to look at Brendan who he's only seen a few times, Kian was born in California and didn't know much of our lives in Pittsburgh. "Hiya uncle Brendan" he smiled shyly, hugging tommy's head. I picked up up off his shoulders and held him to my body, he looked so much like his father. The lips, the eyes, his little smile, his chin. Brendan held his hands out for Kian, but didn't grab him, he wanted to see if Kian was comfortable enough. Kian looked at me, and I nodded so he put his little hands on Brendan's shoulders and gave him a hug as he waved his hand to Tess who smiled. I made my way to Tess and hugged her, kneeling down to the girls who were so big now. They both hugged me and went off to play somewhere.

"NAOMI!" Frank called from across the large kitchen "WHERES MY HUG?!" I smiled, running across the kitchen and jumping in him. He laughed, hugging me tightly. "Look at you, God look at that kid, he's gorgeous" I smiled.

"That's all Tommy"

"Ewwww no it's all you" Jade laughed, punching my arm. I slung my arm around her shoulder and we laughed. But then found Conor, lighting candles off the stove.

"What... What are you doing?" Tommy asked him as he was getting a beer from the fridge, "Naomi's gonna scream she loves her candles...." Conor shushed him as he put them all over.

"I'm Bruce Lee." Was all he said and he began Putting them out with punches, not touching them, just the force of air putting them out. The room went silent, but then people started laughing as Conor threw punches and kicks above candles to put them out.

Kian ran up to Conor and he lifted him up, making his hand to a little fist and punching towards the candle but getting sad when it didn't go out. He tried again, but this time, Conor blew the candle out as soon as his little fist made the motion. He exclaimed in excitement, throwing him over his shoulder and running around.

There was a knock at the door and Jade went running, opening it to reveal Ronda who jumped on her when she opened the door, kissing her head and cheeks a bunch of times. "YOU DID IT YOU DID IT" Jade was blushing.

"AUNTY RONDA," Kian screamed from Conor's shoulder, so excited to see her. I looked over at Tommy.

"Why didn't you out him to bed now he's all hyper and we'll never get him to sleep" I shook my head smiling, Tommy put his arm around me and kissed me gently.

"Come on, you know he loves seeing everyone" it was then I realized Kian had such a loving and caring family. everyone here loved him so much, he was never going to grow up without love like most of us did, we were here to help him grow up.

I watched Ronda hold him high over her head, making a sound at him causing his little laugh to be heard and if warmed my heart, he would never grow up like any of us did.
