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

Jake agreed to a photo and smiled for it and then thanked her. A few things she said stood out. The stuff about needing a strong couple to work didn't bother him because it was true and he felt that Adri and his relationship was strong. They had been through hell and back already. They loved each other deeply and were both wanting it to work. It was the part about everyone wanting Adri and her being a hot commodity. They wanted to try to have a baby once they got married. If her career just continued to grow he wondered if she would change her mind.

On the flight Jake kept Owen so Adri could spend time with her brothers and could celebrate. He also was leaving soon for New York so he wanted to get some last minute Owen time in before he left. Owen snuggled with Jake and they both were tired. It had been a long day for both of them. Jake didn't sleep on the flight but held Owen and looked like he could sleep.

Jake's mind was all over the place between the model and the fight coming up. Now she did her walk, it was his turn to get ready for his fight.
 
Adri and her brothers played their card game and tried not to be too loud. The plane had a table right behind the seats though so the sound carried and no matter how quiet they were they were loud.

She looked at Jake and Owen and wondered if this impromptu trip to Italy was too much. With Jakes trip and Owen being so young. This wold probably end up being a quick trip. Especially since Jake had a flight to catch.

When they touched down they went straight to the pizza joint who had one of every pizza prepared and kept making them for them. They were extremely flirty and Adri was nice because they stayed open for her and they were so accommodating. They were left with a very nice tip when she paid the bill.

They were back on the plane and headed to London. Jake’s wouldn’t have a lot of time but Adri could bring anything he forgot and ship the bags home.

“Hey, thank you for all of this. I love you.” She gave him a kiss and took Owen. “This has been a wild night but I wouldn’t want any to do it with anyone else.” She told him.
 
Owen was getting no sleep and anytime he was almost asleep and woken up he was crankier. Jake wondered if he should have left him back at the hotel with Emma.

Jake wasn't too hungry but had a few slices. He was yawning and looked beat. He would definitely sleep on his flight back to New York. Her brothers had fun flirting with the waitresses. They were having a blast. Their parents were enjoying themselves too but were tired.

On the plane he kissed you back. "You're welcome." He smiled at her. "Thanks baby. That means a lot. I'm glad I got to experience it with you. I'm very proud of you love." He smiled and kissed her cheek. " I am going to hate getting up for the flight home." Both of her boys were exhausted and Jake would need to get back on New York time the best he can so he wasn't tired for the fight. "Are you going to be able to sleep?"
 
She laughed, “Why don’t you go to sleep and I’ll pack up your stuff with Casey. That way you can get some more sleep. And I’ll deal with this guy when he wakes up. He can have pizza for breakfast. Since he missed out on pizza for dinner.” She laughed.

She gave him a kiss and shook her head, “I’ve been up for this long. I can last a little while longer.” She smiled. “If I’m asleep when you get up to leave, don’t wake me. Let’s say our goodbyes now.”

She gave Jake another kiss and hug. She smiled at him, “Babe I love you. This is your time to shine. You’ll do great. Okay? I love you. Do you need anything from me?” She asked.
 
He looked her over. "You sure? Most of it is already put together. Please don't forget anything. I don't care if I have it when I get there or when you get there but we need everything." He trusted her. He just had to say it for himself.

"But I don't want to say goodbye at all." He told her and rubbed Owen's back. "He will probably sleep in with you. He may want to cuddle."

Jake hugged her and kissed her deeply. "I love you. Thanks baby." He smiled. "There is one small favor...when we get back home can we have a day just you and me and no work. No family except this guy and our furry children. A day to order in. Cuddle. Stay in our underwear if we want." He grinned and kissed her."

"Are you watching the press interviews and weigh ins? And when will I get you in New York?" He asked.
 
“Yeah. I’ll watch the sunrise over London. Go get some sleep.” She smiled at him and rubbed his shoulder. “Take him with you. He can sleep with you for now.” She told him. “And then we can trade.” She said handing Owen over.

“Isn’t that why we are going to Biltmore?” She asked. “A while long weekend of just us and no work? I can’t promise that when we get back. My agent has been blowing up my emails all night. I haven’t read any of them. I was going to do it before the trip so it wasn’t knawing at me while we were gone. Boo.”

“We can stay in our underwear though. And eat junk and do nothing.” She smiled so he wasn’t too disappointed.

“I don’t know if I will be able too. I might be on the plane. I will try though. You touch down that early afternoon and the rest of us will be there...super late at night. You will be sleeping and Owen and I are not going to wake you up.” She told him.

“Go to sleep.”
 
Jake took Owen back and he clung to his dad with his head on his shoulder. Jake rubbed his back and kissed his head.

He shook his head. "Biltmore is not a stay in the room and do nothing trip Adri. I'm not asking for a weekend. I want just want day at home with own little family. Owen isn't going to North Carolina with us." He watched her. It was really late and he was tired.

"It's fine. I'm spending a day at home. If you can't be there then..." He shrugged.

"Alright." He said to her not sure if she'd watch and to him sleeping as he got up and went to the other room and changed before he laid down to go to bed. He was exhausted. As soon as he hit the pillow he was out.
 
She thought about their timeline. His fight was Saturday night. He had weighing and pre-fight interviews the Thursday and Friday before the fight. If he won they would get home maybe Tuesday night. They were leaving for their trip on Friday morning.

“We have a doctor appointment the Thursday we get back. I can look at the emails on Wednesday and get an idea of what they are all about. Thursday will be about us. Okay? As a family with a little break for the doctors appointment but then we can go home and take our pants off again.” She told him.

With Jake and Owen in bed Adri packed up their hags. She triple checked to make sure she had everything Jake would want in his suitcase and his carry on. She knew he would be nervous and antsy and she didn’t want to add to the anxiety by forgetting something. She charged his devices and set them by his bag so they would be ready for the long flight to New York.

She took a shower and by the time she was done her alarm to wake up Jake was going off and they could trade spots. Her getting in bed with Owen and Jake getting up to leave by she would get in bed until he was gone.
 
"It's not a big deal." He told her. He was tired and it wasn't something he felt like pushing at the time. If she had work she had work. She was going to Biltmore so he wasn't going to ask for much more right now.

When he heard his alarm go off be groaned but got up. He just kept telling himself he could sleep on the plane. When she climbed in bed he thanked her for making sure everything was ready and told her he loved her as he got dressed. He kissed Owen and hoped he wasn't too upset when morning came and Jake was gone.

Jake left with Casey and Luke to head to the airport. Jake was quiet. Part of it he was annoyed and the other was trying to mentally get prepared. Once he was at the airport he got a small breakfast and then on the plane fell asleep.
 
Adri got some sleep and they did end up sleeping in for a bit. When Owen woke up Adri was up with him. She gave him a kiss and extra attention because she knew he would be a little upset when he realized Jake wasn’t here anymore. She got him dressed and set him on the floor while she got dressed.

He called for Jake and went to the door of the bedroom he could reach the handle but he couldn’t open the door yet. She let him out and he ran around to look for Jake. He thought he was playing hide and seek so he kept looking until he was distracted by TV.

Her mom and dad came up for breakfast. Adri ate her pizza but they had an actual breakfast and gave Owen more waffles. He was going to hate going back to his normal breakfast when they got home. Their flight wasn’t until later in the afternoon so they had one last burst of sight seeing together before they all had to pack and get on the plane to New York.
 
Jake's family flew out a bit after his flight. When he woke up on the plane he watched a bit more fight tape and tried to take notes to strategize. He knew what he needed to do though and shouldn't spend too much time thinking about it or he will second guess himself.

When he got to the hotel he changed for the media conference. He had on suit to look nice and professional. He took a photo and posted it online. "Back to work. Let's do this. Dressed for success."

At the conference his opponent, Romero was talking crap to get under Jake's skin. "My boy Daniels here was off having fun with women in their underwear while I worked hard. It will show who is a better fighter."

Jake smiled, "You're just sour that my fiance is a Victoria Secret Angel and my son has had more girls show him attention then you have in your entire life."

A reporter asked Jake, "Do you think flying in from London and being there this week will effect the fight?"

"Not at all. I continued to train and work out no matter where I was. I had to support my girl and her career like she will be here to support mine. I'll prove Saturday I s am ready."

The entire family went to the airport but they went different directions. Her mom and dad were going to Germany so they went to their flight. Andre, Aidan, and Alex all stuck with Adri to go to New York. Jake’s parents and Amy stayed within a Adri. She was going to go back to Vegas but changed her mind last minute so she could fly home with everyone else in a couple days.

Drew and Stacey decided they wanted to fly on a regular plane so they went to get their flight which left a little later. And they were going back to Vegas because Stacey had to go back to work.

Everyone else was on the plane wothin the hour and headed to New York. Adri tried to watch the press conference but the WiFi made it difficult. She did find out she was able to listen to it so she listened to the first half and then fell asleep because she was exhausted.

Owen was fussy and upset. He kept calling for Jake and she tried showing him a video of a Jake and that’s as okay at first until it wasn’t. Everyone was relieved and happy to be back on the ground. Their hotel rooms were already checked in they just needed to get the key and go to bed.

Adri and Owen quietly went into the room. Owen didn’t want to be put down which made everything more difficult. She couldn’t change him, she couldn’t do anything. She was half tempted to just set him in bed with Jake but Owen was wide awake and she didn’t want him to wake up Jake. She turned the TV on really low and watched cartoons with Owen. He sat on her lap quietly and she put him in a bear hug so she could go to sleep.
 
The last half of the press conference was Romero talking a lot of trash talk. He claimed he was knocking Jake out and stripping him of his title and dignity. He even threw insults at Adri. "I'll make you regret running your mouth in that octagon." Some of his friends took to Jake and Adri's defense online.

He had dinner and did his podcast and went back to the room to sleep. It had been a long day.

Jake turned to roll over in his sleep but could hear the tv. He got up and smiled seeing Owen and Adri. "Hi loves." Jake was half asleep but was still happy to see them.
 
Adri smiled sleepily at Jake, “Ee we’re trying to be quiet.” She said.

Owen pushed off of her chest and launched himself at Jake. “I think you won the crown of favorite parent.” She laughed and walked over to him and gave him a kiss and hug. “We missed you. This one had about three meltdowns.” She rubbed Owen’s back and smiled at Jake.

“How do you feel?” She asked. “I heard the first half of your press conference. I slept on the plane so I missed the podcast but I can listen to it later. How did it go?” She asked.

“Do you feel better now that we are here?”
 
Jake smiled and shook his head. "You're fine. You weren't loud." He chuckled and picked up Owen. "Hi big boy." He gave him a hug and kiss.

"Three meltdowns. Why? What were you so upset about? Were you sad daddy left while you were sleeping?" He kissed Adri and gave her a hug.

Jake shrugged. "Angry. I'm guessing you haven't heard all of the conference. Romero got a bit personal. He's just giving me more reason to pound him." He told her.

"I do feel a lot better you're here. Everyone else get in okay? I thought you were supposed to be in tomorrow? I thought you were missing weigh ins?" He asked but was happy she was there. "Come lay down..."
 
She shook her head, “I haven’t. That’s what they always end up being.” She told him. “I don’t let it get to me. I know it gets to you but it makes you a better fighter.” She told him.

She nodded her head, “Yeah everyone else got in Okay. “Amy is staying but she isn’t going to the fight. She’s going to stay with O. Mom and dad made it to Germany. My brothers are here minus Drew and Stacey. Thank god. Your parents are here. Your mother seems nervous but she’s fine.” She yawned.

“It is technically tomorrow Boo. It’s like four in the morning. And he is wide awake. I’m thinking a warm bottle will put him out. Maybe a bath.” She shrugged her shoulder. “I’ll stay up with him though.” She said and walked with him to the bedroom. She kid on top of the covers because of she got too comfortable she wouldn’t be able to watch Owen because she’d be asleep.
 
"It got a little bad...to the point some of the guys went to social media to fight back." He told her. "It does get to me when you into it. I don't care what they say about me." Jake smiled. "I gotta protect my queen." He smiled and kissed her.

Jake was surprised Amy was staying. "She's not going back to Vegas yet? That's cool. It will be nice for Owen to get to spend time with her during the fight." He gave her a nod on the rest of the family. "Why did they go back to Vegas?" He asked about Drew and Stacey.

"He may fall asleep with me." He gave Owen a kiss. "How about we get a warm bottle? You can turn the tv on babe so he can watch his cartoons in here. I have feeling if we weren't together he'd still want me." Jake made a bottle for Owen and handed it to him. "Let's lay down." He laid him down on the bed and he laid there as he held his bottle as he drank the milk. He had to be touching Jake or he would move to touch him. Jake kissed his head and put his hand on Owen's leg. "Why is he so clingy to me?"

Jake eventually fell back asleep. It was nice to be snuggling in bed with his family. He needed rest though and try to get a on the New York schedule. Weigh ins weren't till later in the morning so he had time to get a few more hours of sleep. He would want food when he woke up and it was nice knowing he was under weight so he could eat too. Owen fell asleep as well, still clinging to his dad.
 
"She will be in Vegas all alone. She would rather fly home with everybody. And she wants to be there if your mom decides she can't watch. Maybe she can get her to watch on TV and maybe next time they can watch in person together." She shrugged her shoulder.

She turned the TV on while Jake got the bottle ready. She turned the sound down since Owen didn't really need it. He just wanted the pictures. Adri fluffed the pillows and put her head down. "Because...I don't know. Enjoy it." She smiled. "I know I will." She loved Owen but when he was clingy, he didn't want to be put down, he didn't want to be out of your sight. He wanted full and undivided attention. Adri would try to give it to him but when he was clingy for a few days, it got to be a little much. She loved her son and she was happy it was Jake's turn.

She fell asleep in no time. It wasn't even the light sleep. She was out until well pas her normal wake up time. She slept through all of Owen's moving and kicking through the night. The entire family was just out. When she did wake up, Owen's legs were spread so one foot was pushing Adri's chest and the other was in Jake's armpit. Adri slowly got out of bed to get them breakfast and get in the shower.

She came out in a robe and sat on the bed. She woke Jake up with a kiss and shifted Owen around so she could get back in bed."Breakfast is on the way." She told him.
 
"That's a good idea. Baby steps. That's a good idea babe." He smiled. It made sense that his sister didn't want to fly home alone, he never thought of that.

Jake poked Adri's side. "Jerk." He teased. "I just wonder if it's been a lot. All the flights and then his teeth. They come through yet?" He asked. "Or have you not checked?"

He stretched and kissed her back. Jake let out a yawn but then snuggled back into the pillow. "I'm tired. I may have to take a nap today after weigh ins." He told her and closed his eyes. "What did you order me?" He asked and opened an eye as Owen stared moving around and crawled up on Jake. "What do you want buddy?" Jake moved to his back and Owen climbed up on his chest and laid his head down. Jake rubbed his back. "Is daddy's little man still pain? What did mommy get you for breakfast? Fruit?" He gave Jake a nod. "Yeah?" He looked at Adri. "I think he misses his brother."
 
"I think they came through. They should have by now. I haven't checked though." She told him.

"You have a nice egg white omelet coming. Stuff full of veggies. I also got you bacon and sausage and orange juice. I am having a fruit salad and a side of bacon. Owen is having a puppy pancake with fruit." She smiled. "I think he is going to like that. It's in the shape of a puppy." She said and rubbed Owen's back.

"Probably does. We will see him soon though. I can get the tablet set up so he can eat breakfast and see his brother and sisters. That might just make him feel better." She leaned over and gave Owen a kiss.
 
"What?! Daddy didn't get a puppy pancake?! That's not fair." He teased and kissed his head and rubbed his back. "You did good babe. I'm starving." He chuckled. "He will be happy about his puppy pancakes. That's impressive."

Jake checked his mouth to see if his teeth came through. "Oh boy. We have two and a third...almost there." Jake sighed. "That's probably why he is a tad clingy, he still probably hurts. He also probably missed me. I probably should wake him, give him kisses and let him see me leave so he knows where I am."

"I'm sure he will love that and can you imagine when we get home. This guy will be so happy." He chuckled. Owen nuzzled his face in Jake's chest and was all shy when Adri kissed him but smile. Jake watched him then looked at Adri. "Think I'll still be his hero no matter what?" He asked softly. The fear of losing was hitting him for a moment. His mind always played tricks on him.
 
"I know! I might have to send Brian home early to get them all home so they can have that cute reunion." She smiled. 'I think they will be just as happy to see him as he will be to see them." She nodded her head, "Yeah but that's a tough decision. We can't do that every time. We can't interrupt his sleep at night. I don't know how we will manage that." She said.

She smiled at Jake, "Are you kidding? You will be his hero no matter what. He is going to love you and support and want you by his side in all things because you are his dad. That's all he cares about. But Jake, none of us do. We will love you and support you no matter what happens Babe. We love you for you, not because you're the Drifter." She told him and gave him a kiss.

When the knock on the door came she got up to answer and got the food. She put it on the table and went back into the bedroom to put on some shorts and a tank top. "Come on. Breakfast time." She said and tossed her robe on the bed.
 
"The girls probably miss me. How cute would be if Owen has his reunion and the I have mine." He laughed. "We could tape it." He suggested and chuckled. "I thought about that. That's why I didn't wake him. Maybe before bed. Maybe that's where I screwed up. I should get my hugs before bed."

He smiled. "Thanks babe." He kissed her back. "You sure about that Mrs. Drifter?" He asked with an eyebrow. "Sorry, you know me I start getting in my own head and think what could happen if I lost. You know I just don't want to let anyone down. Right now I'm his favorite guy, mostly cause his brother isn't here but still..." He kissed his head and hugged him.

Jake put Owen down after Adri came back in the bedroom. "Damn I'm one lucky man." He said looking her body over with a smile and kissed her after he got up. Owen ran out to find the food. Jake went out and sat down at the table. "Baby what are you wearing to the weigh ins? I think I'm just doing dress pants and a button up shirt."
 
“Are you sure you want to do that? Put your cuteness up against your son? That’s dangerous Jake. Your son is fricken adorable.” She smiled atowen and pinched his cheek. “Maybe you go first and then him. If he can wait. That is.” She laughed.

She shrugged her shoulder, “I mean. It is a little nice to be able to say my fiancé can kick your ass but you don’t need a belt to tell the world that. You have like a million different levels of martial arts under your belt to tell the world that.” She smiled.

“You are. The hottest thing on the runway. Everyone is talking about the show. I did a really good job and all of the hard work that input into my body is showing off and I am so happy. And I got the chance to look through my emails. A lot of good job opportunities for the future but honestly I want to make next year about my cosmetics line.” She smiled.” And try to drop it around this time next year. So I need to get started on it soon.”

She looked at her suitcase and shrugged her shoulder. “I don’t know. I’ll dig through my bag and figure something out. I can always pull a look together.”
