Is He A Lover or A Fighter? (Part 3) WF+GF

"I know." She said to him admitting that he was being an asshole on purpose. "I have never wanted to slap you more." She admitted.

She laughed when he called it a job interview, "Well Boo the odds of you getting this job are pretty damn high. I mean they aren't going to find anyone better to play Jake Daniels UFC Middleweight Champion." She told him.

"The best I have seen." She smiled and reached out to grab it. The baby monitor started to coo and Adri groaned. That was her cue. "Maybe I can convince him to cuddle with me for a little while." She said softly. At the same time, she didn't want to deal with grumpy Owen. "He has those yogurt bites in the diaper bag right?" She asked and got out fo the bed. She put on one of Jake's shirts and went next door to get Owen.

She brought him back into their bedroom and set him in the middle and climbed in with him. She had a bag of the yogurt bites with her so Owen could snack if he refused to lay down. She turned the TV on Paw Patrol and she was set. With a hand on his foot, she could sleep while he watched TV and fed himself.
 
He chuckled. "I would have deserved it. I wouldn't have been mad at all...Well at the time yes. Now no." He smiled.

He rolled his eyes. "You know what I mean. I want to look nice. I don't want to walk in like a slob. I want to make a good impression. I'm not a tool like some people think that I am."

Jake nodded, "He may cuddle with you. Turn on cartoons and he may be okay for a bit." He nodded to the yogurt bites. "And fruit snacks. Breakfast of champions." He teased with a smile.

He smiled at Owen. "Hi big boy." He kissed his head. "Take care of mommy. Her head hurts." Owen just smiled but snuggled into the pillow. Jake smiled at Adri. "Good luck. If you need to, call Emma. Get some more babe." He leaned over and kissed Adri. "I love you. I'll see you later okay?"
 
“Babe you look nice. I wouldn’t let you go to a meeting like this without looking really good.” She smiled. “God I love you in khakis.” She giggled. “I think it’s getting rid of my headache.”

She agreed to call Emma if she needed to but for now she was good. Owen watched his show for a few hours. Adri took a light nap and cuddle with her boy. He started to stink so that got her out of bed to change his diaper.

She changed her interview time so she could really recover from her hangover before she met anyone. Emma stayed at the house with Owen while Adri got dressed and went to her meetings in the early afternoon.
 
Jake knew she'd make sure he looked fashionable. He was trying to get better. He told Owen bye before leaving.

Nick felt worse than Adri and had sunglasses on. They stopped at Starbucls and Jake got a coffee but he was feeling good.

At the meeting the director, writer and producers loved Jake and had him send a contract to his lawyer. He would stay an extra day this trip to film an episode. His part was small as a trainer at the gym. The producers also signed him on as a fight consultant. They both were small parts but it was still exciting to Jake and LA was close enough he could drive if needed.

Nick and Jake went out for lunch with the cast and Jake had a good time getting to know everyone. Afterwards thry headed back to Nick's. Owen was excited to see daddy.
 
The rest of the trip was a breeze. Adri was happy Jake got to stay an extra day. He got to see her and Owen go on their trip together. They had a stop in Vegas to pick up Liam and then they were on their way to New York with Emma. Adri loves it. It was nice getting time with him, especially with fashion week around the corner and her having to leave him soon.

The months flew by. Owen was walking and talking more and more. He was showing off a shy side now which meant an extreme attachement to Adri and Jake when they were around strangers. His first birthday was a blast. Everyone loved the theme. Adri has some adoptable dogs set up in the backyard and a few of them found forever homes with their friends which was amazing. They raised a lot of money for the shelter they adopted Max from. Owen was still showered with presents from celebrities and brands and most of all family and friends.

They were back to normal for the most part after the party. It was the end of November and they had to leave to get to London for the VS show. Then Jake would fly to New York and Adri and the rest of the family soon after. It was going to be hectic but they were managing.

Adri felt like she was in the best shape of her life. She did kickboxing and a little sparring with Jake every now and then. She was on a strict diet but she didn’t mind because she looked good in her underwear. Her butt even got a little bigger from all the squats. She was a little dressed about looking good on camera since it did make people look bigger but she was good for now.

“Okay. Everyone is on the same flight. Luke and Amy are going to meet us in New York. I fly out tomorrow morning. You, Owen and Emma fly out that afternoon after our parents.” They could have gotten the same flight but just in case something went wrong she wanted Jake to be there to help. If all else failed he could get a jet and fly out. Not to mention she had to be there early for b-roll and interviews.

“All of the bags are packed. The dog are at their little hotel. Am I missing anything?” She asked Jake. Owen walked to her on the bed and she picked him up. “You have his passport right?”
 
Adri got a video of Max when Jake returned home alone, he was angry and mopey until Adri returned with Owen and then he was like a little pup with excitement. It really was cute how much of a bond the two had but Max had been there when they brought him home and he was so little.

Jake had the wood and supplies to get Owen's wooden play set built. He would do it when he had time at least that way he had all the supplies at the house. Owen had so much fun at his party and Jake was so touched so many people came to celebrate. Beth Franklin was one of those that adopted a dog.

Owen was turning into a little traveling stud. He did really well for the most part. It was fun to him and it helped out that they had Emma to take with them.

Jake listened to her run down of who was leaving when. "Okay." He thought about it. "You are missing something." He wrapped his arms around her. "Take a deep breath. Breathe. You got this. We will get there and be okay. Don't worry about us." He smiled and kissed her softly. "Yes his passport is with mine."
 
She kissed him back and smiled at him, “Dont forget the passports.” She told him and rubbed his back. “Put them on your suitcase.” She told them. The dogs were gone so they wouldn’t take them and eat them.

She looked at all of her suitcases and looked at Jake. “Do you want me to take your bags so you can focus on Owen?” She asked. “I’m fine doing that. I know he could be a handful. This is the longest flight of his short life.” He was pretty good when he was in the air but he didn’t enjoy taking off or landing.

“If he doesn’t do well on your flight we can get a private and take that to New York. Let him roam around and play and he might do a little better. Hopefully he sleeps for you all flight. It will be his bedtime so that should help.”
 
"The passports are by my wallet. I will grab them. I promise. I'll be okay. Emma will help me." He told her and smiled.

Jake shook his head. "No. We will be fine. I can handle the bags. We don't have that many of them. Luke is taking my training and warm up stuff so it's a less bag I have to worry about.

"I'm sure he will be okay. It will be a long flight but we will make it. He will just want to run around when we get there." Jake was a bit worried how he will do but he would have to deal with it when the time came. "We're first class so it should help." He told her.
 
She nodded her head and sat on the bed. She let Owen crawl off of her and watch his show again.

“I know I have been a little crazy these past few...months but I appreciate how well you have handled it.” She laughed. “Things have Ben really wild but we have gotten a lot figured out with the wedding and I am in the best shape of my life and god damn you look so good.” She laughed.

“Thank you.” She said and gave his hands a squeeze. “For everything.” She smiled.

“And in the midst of all the craziness I have something to ask you. When we donated all of that money to the shelter we got Max from it really had me thinking. Why don’t we buy it? We can make it a safe haven for big dogs that get returned because they are too big. We can keep it open for adoption for the people that want to adopt but it’s a place those dogs can call home. We can hire high school kids to work there and play with the dogs and cuddle them and hold them...everything.” She said softly.

She had a soft spot for animals and she wanted to help them all and this was a good start for her.
 
Jake gave her a nod. "Of course babe. We knew it would be hectic and we knew we'd tackle it together and we have." He kissed her shoulder. "You look damn good too babe." He wiggled his eyebrows.

His thumb caressed her hands and he squeezed hers back.

He looked at her and his eyes widened a bit. "Babe...you ask this right before you leave for Fashion Week and my fight?" He chuckled. "I see what you did. You thanked me. Complimented me. Kissed me. I see now you were trying to win me over...." He narrowed his eyes at her with a smile. "Baby...I think it's a great idea. I do. I would love to do it....but....I don't know we just have a lot going on. Can we get someone else to run it? We can buy it if someone else sees to the every day work on it. If that makes sense. Then we can go and help out when we can and love on the dogs."
 
She laughed, "I know, I'm asking for a lot but I want to do something to celebrate my first Victoria's Secret fashion show but I don't want it to be about sighed. "I want to help all of the other Maxs in the world." She said softly.

"We would keep the same staff but they wouldn't have to worry about funding anymore. We can let our financial manager handle that finances of the shelter so we know what's going on. We can have fundraisers and big charity events. It's a deduction on our taxes, I think. I don't even care if it doesn't make money. I just want to save the animals." She told him.

She smiled when he agreed, "Yes. We can figure it all out when we get back and we break our diets." She laughed. She smiled at him and gave him a kiss. "I'm excited for the show but I cannot wait to come home and eat chipotle with you."
 
She really was super cute when she said she wanted to help all the Maxs in the world. "But baby you can't help them all like you helped him...you gave him a baby...we can't give every dog a baby. We can't give all the Maxs an Owen." He chuckled. "But we can help them."

It seemed as if it was something she really thought through. "I do want to see how much money it takes to run a month and a year. I need to see a dollar sign just to have an idea on it." The charity events he knew would help and their friends would definitely help chip in money for it.

"What would we call it?" He chuckled, "Oh yeah. We are spoiling our diets." He kissed her softly. "And I don't know about waiting until we get back for Chipotle. It's not tradition baby. We gotta find a Chipotle in NY. Hell...I could have Casey have it the locker room." Casey was his assistant. "But it is our thing to go get it...it's so fun." He grinned at the thought of their little runs to get Chipotle. It started back to his first fight with her before they started dating.

"We're both gonna kill it babe." He grinned and got comfortable. "You sure you're okay with me leaving to head to NY a bit earlier than you so I can get in the groove?"
 
"I can't help all of the Maxs in the world but I can die trying." She laughed and shrugged her shoulder. "We probably won't make money on it." She told him. "Not right away. Not until we do a fundraiser or something. But it will be worth while and I doubt it will make us go broke." She said. Not if she kept working and he kept fighting.

"Owen's Place. For our dog loving baby boy." She laughed.

She nodded her head, "We can eat it in New York. I meant when we get back to the states. I don't think London has Chipotle." She said. "Casey could but that's no fun." She did like going in and grabbing their food and taking it somewhere to eat.

"Casey doesn't know what I like. He knows what you like. I'd have to send Brian with him." Her gay assistant that was on top of everything. He finished her sentences when she forgot what she was going to say. He knew her style and always had his eyes out for clothes she liked. He was in control of her work phone which let Adri stress over her wedding more than anything.

"Boo you have to do what you have to do. You have to come back early that's fine. Owen and I will be right behind you. I think our parents are staying back in London to sight see but my brothers will be coming with me and Owen. I need to pack for New York." She said as if it was suddenly dawning on her.

"Shit." She said softly and got off the bed and went into the closet. "Which shorts did I pick? What colors are you wearing?" She asked. "Will Luke take my bag or is that too much for him? Will I have time to shop before the fight?" She asked. "I think Brian is going to have to bring all of our bags from London home and then catch a flight into New York. It's just too much stuff."
 
"I'm not worried about it making money baby. I do just want to see how much they are losing just to have a plan. That's all." He knew that with their careers and ideas for the future they should be able to afford to help the shelter. Plus people would come check the place out just because it's theirs.

Jake chuckled. "Really? You don't think it would be wrong to name it after Owen and not our other children?"

"Oh I get you. Yeah, we they probably don't. They don't eat that much food there. Like portion sizes." He chuckled. "You're right it isn't fun."

He rolled his eyes. "Babe you write it down or I will text it to him or you could text it to him or Brian could text it to him. It shouldn't be that hard." He laughed. Casey was also in charge of his work phone which let him just focus on training.

Jake nodded, "Amy is coming back with Luke and I, she wants to be back in the states as quick as possible. She is nervous about being out of the country and pregnant." He told her. "But she should be fine."

"Black shorts, name is in gold. My walk out shirt is red, name in gold." He told her and watched her pack. "Should we just ship your bag and my bag to NY? We can over night it. It may be easier. We can have the hotel hold it, have it in our room when I get there." It would save a lot of time and work if they could ship their stuff. "I could even send over the training bag but that makes me more nervous shipping it. But if we overnight it, it should be fine."
 
“The Daniels Den, then? After our family?” She offered. “That way no one gets left out.”

She grabbed another suitcase and looked at all of the gold she had. “Gold.” She muttered and picked out a few gold items. She found some cute gold shorts that she could wear with a black top that would be cute. She could make gold work. She pled shoes on top of the garment bag full of her clothes in her suitcase and dragged it to the door. She had the other things she would need in her other suitcases. She was done packing.

She looked at her bag and looked at Jake, “Shipping would make things easier but I’d they lose the bag...the thought makes me nervous. “I can always have Brian condense everything into fewer bags.” She said. “Would it be easier to just rent a private?” She asked.

“At this point I feel like it would.”
 
"I like it. We could have sections named after the kids. But you only want to save the Maxs? Not the Bams and Rockys?" He smiled. "We shouldn't turn anyone away. We could tall the Torreses for advice since they have a pitbull rescue."

"Champion is in gold. And kings wear gold. Royalty wears gold." He winked at her and Owen walked over to him calling Jake. Jake picked him up and he nuzzled against Jake.

Jake just looked at her. "Adge...it's called Fedex. It will be in NY before we land in London. It will be fine. I'll make sure that it gets there. It will be fine." He looked at O. "Tell mommy to come cuddle her boys." He looked at Adri. Owen smiled and acted shy. "Tell her..." Owen just called her.
 
“We didn’t rescue Bam and Rocky. We recused Max and his big floppy head.” She smiled. “We won’t turn anyone away. We will keep it open to all cats and dogs. Anyone that needs a home.” She said. “And this will help me from bring them all home.” She laughed.

“You should fix that little habit of his. That’s daddy Owen. You know that.” She told him and poked his belly.

“You want to send it FedEx? If my stuff gets lost in the mail you buy two of everything to replace what was lost.” She told him. “And not the joint account. Your personal one.” She said.

She walked over to Jake and Owen and picked Owen up. She gave him a kiss and got in the bed next to Jake. “Last night was fun. How’s your back?” She asked. “We can’t do when you have a fight.” She laughed.

“Let’s getaway after your fight. Mini family vacation. Hawaii or something. For a few days to celebrate and then we come home back to the wedding planning stress and everything else going on.”
 
Jake nodded. "True. Fair enough. No turning anyone away. I'll have Casey reach out to the Torres' for advice. Maybe we can visit them." He smiled. "No bringing them home. Thr next dog is MINE! And I want a pit...so...we may get one in New Orleans."

"He knows. He's just being a goof." He tickled his neck when Adri tickled him.

"Fine. Deal. It will be fine. I promise." He smiled.

Jake laughed. "It was fun. But it was our last fun night until I win...Sorry. I don't like it either. But it does help with the testosterone."

"You forgot that I'm stealing you for a few days after my fight. We can come home for a bit but just you and I are going for like a weekend trip." He smiled because he had the best thing planned. She was going to probably have a mini freak out.
 
“We both know if we got out there we will be coming back with a dog or two. So we can’t go unless you absolutely certain that you want a dog.” She laughed. “And we should invest in a dog house. Like Paris Hilton’s. So when we are outside and the dogs want to be out there with us they have a place to go. And Owen can crawl in there if he wants. Or when he’s grounded.” She laughed.

“Fine ship it. Go ahead. I can’t wait to go shopping.” She smiled. She rolled her eyes, “Has that even been proven? I feel like that’s a myth.” She said.

She nodded her head, “I did forget. Where are we going? Are Casey and Brian coming? Are we going to Denver to check on the cabin? Everything looks so pretty. My dream Christmas cabin is becoming a reality. It’s the best. I’m so happy.” She smiled.
 
"We can build a dog house. I've never seen hers so I'll have to look it up. We can just add a room got Owen in it." He chuckled. "Well we need one good with babies and our dogs. We will have to take them to make sure whoever we get, gets along with the entire family."

He shook his head to shopping. "Yes it helps. Even if its mental, it helps. You can scratch me all up after in the locker room if you want..." He grinned and kissed her softly.

"No. Just us. You and me. No Liam. No Casey and Brian. And no hints on where we are going until we get to the airport." He smiled. "Pack warm though." He grinned. "Is Denver your guess?"
 
“All three dogs and the baby?” She laughed. “That will be fun.” She faked a big smile and shook her head. He had a point though. They needed a dog that meshed well with their family.

She raised her eyebrows and smiled, “I might have to take you up on that offer.” She laughed and gave him a kiss.

She shook her head, “If I have to pick warm I’m guessing it’s not Denver. Are we talking booty shorts and bikinis?” She asked. “I could go for some booty short and bikini weather.”
 
"That's why we may not be able to get one right now. I don't want to take a chance of getting my hopes on one and then when we get him home him and one of them doesn't get along. Im okay waiting a bit too until we are home a bit more.. " They had been traveling a lot so maybe a dog willing to travel too would be good. But Jake wanted another running partner so Max could get a break.

He smiled. "We can mark it off the bucket list." He wiggled his eye brows. "It's not too long."

Jake just smiled and shook his head. "No love. You need to pack warm clothing. It's going to be cold. Not as cold as Denver. Like 50s during the day like 35 at night." He smiled. "You can pack a bikini for the pool or hot tub."
 
“Yeah it’s just a week. A week of me parading around in my underwear.” She joked. “There are other things we can do though. Well other thing that you can do to me.” She smiled. She kissed where his neck and jaw met. That probably wouldn’t happen either though. Not if she was tressed and there was no doubt that she would be stressed.

“The mats been marked off of the bucket list. Plenty god times. At this point it’s just another bedroom.”

She frowned and thought of where they could be going, “The castle?” She asked. “Are we going to the Bilmore?” She patted his thigh, “I still want an island getaway for a few days. You, me and Owen. We will have fun.”
 
"That could maybe be arranged but....but...if we do those other things the favor gets returned later. For each time..." He felt that was fair. "Don't be mean..."

He smiled. "Very true. Why is it when we spar you jump me. I don't mind..." He chuckled. "The locker room isn't marked off yet though. We should fix it..." He kissed her cheek.

Jake just stared at her. "Why do you do that?! Every time I try to surprise you, you do that and guess...jerk face...Yes we're going to Biltmore." He shook his head. "Nope...not going to an island after that. Ever." He teased.

Owen crawled over to Jake. "Daddeee." He was saying the long y on most names that had it and added it to a few who didn't. "Hi O. Go see mommy. Mommy is gonna leave tomorrow." He looked at Adri and shook his head and said no to her leaving. "The kid has spoken..."
 
“Each time! I want it at least like three times a day.” She teased and rubbed his thigh. “We will we can always kiss...and grind...and kiss some more.” She wiggled her eyebrows and rubbed his cheek. “We will see in the moment.”

She frowned when he stared at her and smiled when he said she got it right. “Don’t be mad at me because I’m a good gussser.” She laughed and clapped her hands. “Yay. I’m excited. I can’t wait. That will be fun. We can practice walking down the aisle and everything. So thoughtful Boo. I love it.”

She smiled at Owen, “I’m sorry buddy I have to go. You’re coming too. We will see each other soon.” She told him and he shook his head. She looked at Jake, “Can I have a kiss?” She asked and puckered her lips and he gave her a kiss. “Thank you.” She kissed his forehead and rubbed his back.

“We could get him a brutish badass nanny! That way he picks up the accent and he would be so cute! I mean even cuter.”
