Age of Atticus

Chapter 4: Whelp, That Was Eventful

~Atticus POV~

"Mommy wake up Sanata came!" Carter exclaimed jumping on the end of our bed.

"It's Santa, Carter." Dean groaned when turning over.

"Whatever he came!" She jumped on Dean making me smile.

"Alright, we'll be down in a few minutes." I said and she bolted downstairs. "Merry Christmas, my love." I said rolling over and kissing him.

"Merry Christmas."

He put a shirt on and he walked downstairs while I went and grabbed Maverick. I brought him downstairs and sat on the L shaped couch next to Seth. Dean sat on the floor handing out presents. I leaned my head on my brother's shoulder and he wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "Merry Christmas, baby sister."

"Merry Christmas, numbnuts."

He chuckled and so did I. I watched as Carter and Mavis opened their gifts. Dean then handed around the adults gifts. He handed me a small box wrapped in WWE wrapping paper but it's just him. "Did you really just wrap yourself around this?"

"Yes I did. So what?"

I shook my head as I unwrapped it to reveal a velvet box. I opened it and there was a charm inside. The charm was a WWE ring. I smiled and put my hand on his shoulder, planting a kiss on his cheek. "This is so cute. Thank you, love."

"You're welcome, Atty."

I pointed to the one for Dean from me and he tore it open like he was a little kid which made me laugh. "Oooo a box, thanks Atty. Just what I wanted." He teased making me laugh.

"Just open it dingus."

He opened the box and gasped when he saw what was inside. "Is this real?"

"Yes it is. It was also the last one they had so please don't break it."

He pulled out the Moose cup from Christmas Vacation and kissed me. "I have one more gift for you." He said going and grabbing another box.

He handed it to me and I opened it cautiously. I noticed an envelope in the bottom and I opened it. It was two plane tickets for NYC. I gasped and looked at him as it settled in. "Is this real, Dean Ambrose?"

"Yes it is. This is the most real thing in the universe."

I felt some tears begin to form and I smiled. "Mommy what is it?" Carter asked.

"Mommy's going to NYC for New Years Eve with daddy."

"Just us though. Seth's keeping the kids here."

"Dean this is amazing, thank you so much."

I hugged him so tight and didn't want to let go.

We had a good morning until we had to grab our things and go to the arena for the show. Once we arrived I couldn't stop telling Nikki about what Dean did for me. "Honestly that is so cute."

"I know. I couldn't believe. I have never had the time to get into the city and to go now for New Years Eve makes it so much better."

"That's amazing."

I looked over at Nicole to see her smiling very giddy like. "What is that for?" I asked her.

"What's what for?"

"That smile for a reason I don't know."

"I can't smile for no reason?"

"No you can't."

"Fine but you can't tell Dean I told you."

"He is going to surprise you with...something I can't tell you on New Years Eve."

"Wow real nice." I said walking away from her to go and find my kids and husband. "LOVE YOU ATTICUS!"

"WHATEVER NICOLE!"

I found them and I took the kids because Dean had to go out for a match. I watched his match intently and then noticed he hit hard. I winced and noticed him in pain. After finishing the match like the fighter he is, he walked to the doctors after finding me. "Babe it hurts so bad." He said holding it.

"You fell pretty hard, bub. I would think so." I rubbed his back as he winced in pain. The doctor came in and I watched as he examined Dean. "Is he going to be okay for the rumble?" I asked.

"I don't think so. Take him to the hospital and have them do an MRI and see what they find."

We gathered everyone up and piled into the car. I drove us and then got there as fast as we could even though we had to wait forever.

"Whelp, that was an eventful night." I said when we got back into the car.

"This sucks. I don't want surgery. We were suppose to go to NYC."

"It's fine Dean. There's always next year. I would much rather be with you." I said driving us to the house. "Kids grab your things and bring them down to the car. Mavis you get your brothers things and don't argue with me on it. Seth held Carter please."

Everyone got out of the car but us and the baby. "It hurts really bad huh?"

"Yeah."

"You'll be better in no time, Deano." I said playing with his hair.

"I hope so. I want to be at the rumble with you."

"I know." I kissed his head and put my hand on his thigh. "It's going to be okay as long as we have each other."

"Why are we the cheesiest couple in the world?" He whined.

I laughed and looked at him smiling. "Just because no one else can be so we have to."

Everyone back out and I sped to the airport before the flight took off.
