Raising Gracie

RG 47

"You need to take it easy and rest up for Rumble." Keith said.
"Yes, we'll let creative know to take things easy." Dan said. "Get rest and as much as you've missed your daughter have Seth do the lifting."
"Okay." Becky said. "Thanks for coming over."
"You are family." Dan said. "Rest up, see you Sunday."
"I'll leave you some pain meds and some muscle relaxers." Keith said.
"Okay." Becky said.
Both left and Becky texted Seth who headed back with Gracie and food.
"Mommy." Gracie said.
"Careful." Seth said. "What did the doctors say?"
"I will be okay, just need to relax a bit, take it easy and sadly no picking up Gracie." Becky said.
"What?" Gracie said.
"Until my back is better Daddy has to do all the heavy lifting." Becky said. "But we can cuddle because you know how to climb into my lap."
"I do." Gracie said doing so.
"We can take things easy so you can mend." Seth said. "We got lunch."
"Great I am starving." Becky said.
"Mommy can I sit here to eat?" Gracie asked. "Please."
"Of course you can." Becky said.
Seth moved the table around so both could sit and eat.
"She's out." Becky said.
Seth smiled and gently picked Gracie up and moved her to her bed.
"I've missed that." Seth said as the door sounded.
"Hey guys." Seth said letting Josh and Jen in. "Gracie just went down for her nap."
"Good." Josh said. "She was bouncing off the wall since five this morning."
"She knew what today was." Jen said as they sat down. "She missed you two."
"We missed her too." Becky said.
"How the damage?" Josh asked.
"Not to bad, just need to rest up a bit." Becky said.
"That's good." Josh said. "Rumble is coming."
"It is." Becky said. "Going to be a busy night."
"How many matches are you doing this year?" Jen asked.
"As of now just one, with Charlotte making a run at winning the rumble this year our tag titles won't be on the line but we may need to defend them the week after." Becky said. "Right now I think it's going to be Asuka vs The Man rematch."
"Going to need to get your cardio up." Josh said.
"I should be good to really go next week so yes, we'll need a plan for me." Becky said.
"Mommy." Gracie called.
"I'll get her." Seth said.
"Thanks." Becky said.
"She's going to no want to be away from you for awhile." Josh said.
"Did she have any issues while we were gone?" Becky asked as Seth reappeared with Gracie in his arms.
"She wants you." Seth said.
"Come here baby." Becky said and Seth moved over and gently placed her in her arms. "What's wrong?"
"I just want you." Gracie said yawning.
"You need to nap." Becky said. "You are tired."
Gracie nodded and tucked her head into the curve of Becky's arm and was out again.
"For the most part she did good, but around day five she had a meltdown." Josh said. "Holly tried her best but Gracie was just in a mood. So Jen asked Gracie if sleeping in her bed would help but she said no. So they Jen asked if sleeping in your bed would help and Gracie said she would try. So we took Gracie home and she cuddled right into your bedding and was out like a light."
"She also slept in on of your shirts, the Black Craft one." Jen said.
"She missed us." Seth said.
"She did." Josh said. "We talked to her the next day and let her know if she needed another night in your bed to say so."
"That's good." Becky said. "There are times her three year old self shows and there are times her wisdom is beyond ours."
"That is true." Jen said. "There was a girl at farm where Luna is stabled and this girl was just so scared. The mom was trying to get her daughter to calm down but the girl was just having issues. Gracie just walked right up to the girl and hugged her saying breathe,"
"Caught everyone off guard." Josh said.
"It did." Jen said. "The mom was unsure what to do, but Gracie sat down in front of the girl and just started talking about the breathing exercises you two do while doing yoga."
"Wow." Becky said.
"The girl started coping Gracie and was able to calm down." Josh said. "When Gracie asked the girl what was wrong the girl told her she was scared of horses. So Gracie asked her why, breaking down the fear like how we break down workouts for her to understand."
"Soon she had the girl feeling brave and held her hand to meet Luna. Gracie explained who Luna was and how Luna would never hurt anyone and the girl managed to even help Gracie with Luna's grooming." Jen said. "The mom was amazed that Gracie was able to help her."
"She's an amazing girl." Seth said.
"She is." Josh said. "Seeing how she looks at the world is mind blowing at times but amazing."
"A special light this world needs." Becky said. "Her mom McKenna was right."

They spend the rest of the day lounging around the hotel suite and Gracie was content to be in Becky's arms if not Seth's. Both were just happy to hold her and be together.
"Mommy." Gracie said as Becky combed her hair out after her bath.
"Yes?" Becky asked.
"I learned a song, can I sing it for you?" Gracie asked.
"I'd love to hear it." Becky said.
"Hear what?" Seth asked coming in.
"I learned a new song." Gracie said.
"Let's hear it." Becky said as Seth sat down next to her.

"You're my honeybunch, sugar plum, pumpy-umpy-umpkin
You're my sweetie pie
You're my cuppycake, gumdrop, snoogums-boogums
You're the apple of my eye." Gracie sang lightly touching Becky's nose as she sang the last line.
"And I love you so and I want you to know
That I'll always be right here." She placed her hand on Becky's heart.
"And I love to sing sweet songs to you
Because you are so dear."

"Wow." Becky said as they clapped. "I love it."
"Thank you mommy." Gracie said.
"You did a good job my sweet girl." Seth said.
"Grandma helped me learner it." She said. "Grandpa Bob said we drove him nuts."
"I bet." Seth said. "But practice makes perfect."
"That's what I said." Gracie said. "Can I sleep here with you two tonight?"
"Tonight I think you can." Becky said.
"I insist on it." Seth said. "I need my girls here with me."
"Daddy is silly." Gracie said.
"He is but we love him that way." Becky said.
"I love him all the ways." Gracie said.
"Good." Seth smiled kissing her cheek. "Go find a book you want me to read."
"Okay." Gracie said running from the room.
"That girls knows how to tug in the feels." Becky said.
"She does." Seth said.
Gracie returned and she and Becky snuggled in bed while Seth read. Both fell asleep and Seth joined them when he finished.

"Welcome back." Stephanie said hugging Becky. "How's the back?"
"A bit stiff, but okay." Becky said.
"How was the honeymoon?" Stephanie asked.
"It was amazing." Becky said. "So how does my schedule look?"
"Since you are not cleared for in ring action we are going to have you do a confrontation with Asuka." Stephanie said and Asuka came into the room.
"Welcome back." She said.
"Thanks." Becky said.
"Injured back?" Asuka said.
"Unexpected turbulence flying home." Becky said. "So I can't get to physical in the ring."
"Okay, then we plan." Asuka said. "Maybe you punch me, leave me screaming in the ring."
"I can do that." Becky said.
"I'll have the guys in the truck put together a package as to why this fight is important to you." Stephanie said.
"Sounds like a plan." Becky said. "Next week you can get some revenge."
"I mist you." Asuka said.
"Okay." Becky said.
"Sounds like a good set up leading to rumble." Stephanie said.
"We steal the show." Asuka said.
"I have no doubt." Stephanie said. "Let me figure your times and I will text you."
"Okay." Becky said.
Both ladies left the gorilla and walked back to the locker room.
"No the dark pink." Gracie said.
"Are you sure?" Charlotte asked.
"Yes, the dark pink makes you looks so pretty." Gracie said. "Since you don't have the purple as a choice go dark pink."
"Okay." Charlotte said.
"Mommy." Gracie said as Becky sat down.
"Hi my sweet luv." Becky said. "Helping Charlotte pick her ring gear?"
"Yep." Gracie said. "No purple so dark pink."
"She does look good in both." Becky said.
"Flattery." Charlotte said. "So how was your meeting?"
"Good, I got a confrontation with Asuka but since I am not cleared I cannot wrestle and this will let you send messages to the women in the rumble." Becky said.
"She is going to win this year mommy." Gracie said.
"I have no doubt." Becky said. "She almost won last year but some loud mouth ginger just beat her."
"That was you mommy." Gracie said.
"She know's she is just teasing me." Charlotte said. "As long as I beat Sasha to a rumble win I am good." Charlotte said.
"Me too." Becky said.
"Mommy I am getting hungry, can we get something to eat?" Gracie asked.
"Sure." Becky said. "We'll see you later."
Charlotte nodded and Becky walked down to catering with Gracie.

"Look it's my daddy." Gracie said.
Becky looked over and saw him talking with the guys involved in his thing tonight.
"I think he's in an important meeting." Becky said squatting to her level. "So how about we get some food to go."
"Okay." Gracie said sadly.
"When he's done he'll come find us." Becky said as Gracie's eyes brimmed with tears. "Okay."
"Okay." Gracie said as the tears burst from her eyes.
"Hey." Becky said sitting quickly and carefully and taking her into her arms. "It's okay."
