"Oh my goodness." Gracie said seeing the living room filled with boxes and tubes of wrapping paper.
"Looks like we have a long day ahead of us." Becky said.
"Are these all for the kids at the hospital?" Gracie asked.
"They are." Becky said.
"They are going to love this." Gracie said.
"Oh wow." Holly said coming in.
"Grandma." Gracie called and ran over and hugged her.
"How are you sweet pea?" Holly asked.
"Glad to be home." Gracie said.
"I bet." Holly said. "Hello dear."
"Hello." Becky said. "Come to help?"
"Indeed I have." Holly said.
"I say we dig in." Becky said. "Each box has a label for who they are for and a written out tag."
"Can I pick wrapping paper?" Gracie asked.
"You may." Becky said.
"Why don't I start down here and you that end and we'll meet in the middle." Holly said.
"Sounds like a plan." Becky said. "Gracie can be out helper getting us wrapping paper and tape as we need it."
Everyone agreed and they got to work wrapping and labeling presents.
"Gracie?" Seth said asking coming in and looking around.
"She passed out under the empty tubes." Becky said coming in from the kitchen.
"I see." Seth chuckled taking a picture. "How was wrapping."
"It went good." Becky said. "Your mom was a huge help as was Gracie."
"The truck will be here tomorrow to get everything and take it to the hospital and then next week we can deliver them." Seth said.
"Yes." Becky said. "I would say operation Gracie Gives Back has been a success."
"She's an amazing little girl with an amazing heart." Seth said.
"Dinner is done." Becky said. "See if you can wake her while I dish her up some Mac and cheese."
Seth nodded and Becky walked back to the kitchen and Seth began moving the tubes off of Gracie.
"Gracie." Seth said softly. "Time to wake up, mommy has Mac and cheese."
"Mac and cheese?" Gracie said shooting up and sniffing the air.
"Yes." Seth chuckled. "Come eat."
He helped her out of the mess of tubes and they walked into the kitchen.
"There's my little help." Becky said.
"I smell Mac and cheese." Gracie said.
"Yes, I made your favorite." Becky said setting a bowl down. "You need it after all the hard work you put in."
Gracie nodded and Seth sat her down in her seat and Becky dished Seth and herself a plate and they sat down and ate.
"You still sleepy?" Becky asked.
"Kind of." Gracie said. "Can I play with my toys in my room?"
"Of course, go have fun." Becky said and Gracie ran off with Bella.
"Okay, the presents are now in the garage." Seth said.
"Thank you." Becky said yawning.
"You looked wiped." Seth said pulling her into his arms.
"I am." Becky said yawning. "How was the school?"
"Good, the guys are doing great, go some good training in."
"That's good." Becky said.
"Why don't you go lay down and I'll keep an eye on Gracie." Seth said.
"You sure?" Becky asked.
"I am." Seth said smiling.
"Thank you." Becky said kissing him lightly before walking to their room and and laying down in the bed.
"Hi daddy." Gracie said looking up from her doll house. "Where is mommy?"

"Mommy is laying down because she is sleepy." Seth said.
"Can you play dollies with me?" Gracie asked. "You can be the daddy doll?"
"Of course." Seth said and he sat down and played dolls with Gracie. After a bit a flash caught his eye and he looked up and smiled seeing Becky taking a picture of him.
'Daddy and dollies a little girls dream.' Becky said.
"Mommy." Gracie said smiling before yawning.
"I think someone is ready for sleep." Becky said.
"I am." Gracie said and she began cleaning up. "I think Bella needs to go potty."
"I'll take her out while mommy helps you change." Seth said scooping up the little dog and leaving the room. Becky smiled and helped Gracie pick out her pajamas and change.
"Did you have fun today?" Becky asked.
"Yes." Gracie said. "I like wrapping presents and I know the kids will love them."
"You did an amazing job raising money to do this." Becky said.
"Mommy do you think I could do it again next year?" Gracie asked.
"I think that is a good idea." Becky said. "How did you get so amazing."
"You, daddy and my mama made me that way." Gracie said. "Mommy?"
"What is it?" Becky asked.
"Do you think my mama is proud of me?" Gracie asked.
"My sweet girl, I am more then sure that she is proud of you." Becky said.
"I miss her." Gracie said.
"I know you do but she's here in your heart." Becky said. "How about you dream about her tonight and tell her all the amazing things you've done so far his year."
"I like that." Gracie said as Seth came back in with Bella.
"Come in Bella bed time." Gracie said and the little dog barked and ran to her bed and Gracie tucked her in and kissed her head. "Sweet dreams."
Bella licked her face and then settled down to sleep.
Seth scooped Gracie up and carried her to her bed.
"Night daddy, I love you." Gracies said.
"I love you." Seth said kissing her cheek. "So much."
Gracie smiled and hugged him.
"Night my sweet girl." Becky said kissing her. "Love you."
"Love you." Gracie said and Becky covered her with her comforter and she was out.
"That picture has every dad out there liking it." Seth teased.
"Because real men aren't afraid to play dollies with there little girls." Becky said.
"True." Seth said.
"You are an amazing father you know that." Becky said.
"Honestly I think it's her that makes me amazing in that role." Seth said.
"She does it to all of us." Becky said. "But over all you're an amazing man."
"Why thank you." Seth said smiling before leaning down and kissing her. "You are the amazing one, you make me want to be better not just at work but in life."
"I think it's time you took me to bed." Becky said.
Seth nodded scooping her up and taking her to bed.
"Hey sleepy head." Becky said when Gracie appeared in the living room. "Someone slept in late today."
"I was having a great dream." Gracie said.
"That's good." Becky said. "Wanna share?"
"Yeah." Gracie said reaching up to Becky.
Becky smiled and picked her up and put her on her lap and Gracie shared it all with her and Becky smiled seeing her baby so happy.

"Wow, that sounds like a great dream." Seth said.
"It was, mama said she was happy I was happy and wants me to keep being the amazing girl I am and grow up being happy and loved." Gracie said.
"You are very loved." Becky said.
"I am." Gracie said. "Can we go get toast and work out at daddy's school?" Gracie asked,
"We can." Becky said.
After changing they headed to 392. Seth and Gracie ordered some food and Becky had a coffee. After that they headed over to the school.
"Uncle Josh." Gracie said.
"There's my favorite munchkin." Josh said smiling.
"Hey man." Seth said. "Didn't know your were coming."
"I figured with all that's going on in the next couple of weeks I'd show up and be on hand to help." Josh said.
"Well help is welcome." Becky said.
"Come on, let's work out." Gracie said and they got to work.
"Hey mom." Seth said when they entered the house.
"Hello." Holly said greeting them all.
"I hope one more for dinner is okay." Becky said as Josh carried Gracie in.
"He's always welcome here." Holly said. "Hello Josh."
"Hello." Josh said greeting her.
"Grandma I love your tree." Gracie said.
"Thank you." Holly said. "There might be a few presents under it for you already."
"Wreally?" Gracie said. "I love presents."
"I know." Holly said. "If your parents are okay with it, maybe you can choose one to open."
"May I please." Gracie said.
Becky looked over at Seth who nodded.
"Just one." Becky said.
"Now?" Gracie asked.
"Go for it." Holly said and Josh set her down and she raced over to the tree.
"Spoiling her already mom." Seth said.
"She's my only grand baby, I get too." Holly said.
"Mommy come help." Gracie said and Becky smiled and handed Seth her jacket and walked over to where Gracie was looking.
"What one are you thinking?" Becky asked.
"I like the purple one." Gracie said. "And the blue."
"Both look good." Becky said.
"This one looks like grapes and this one looks like boo berries." Gracie said.
"She is definitely your child." Holly said. "Food."
"True." Seth said.
"Do you want do a song to pick?" Becky asked.
"How?" Gracie asked.
"We'll you point your fingers and say a little rhyme." Becky said pointing to one. "See, you go ennie, meanie, minie, moe, catch a tiger by the toes if he hallers let him go, ennie, meanie, minie, moe."
"Purple." Gracie said. "Thank you mommy."
"You're welcome." Becky said.
They all watched as Gracie sat with the box in front of her. Seth pulled out his phone and recorded it.
"Go." Holly said and Gracie went to work tearing the paper off revealing the connectible bead jewelry set.
"Wow." Gracie said. "Thank you grandma."
"You're welcome dear." Holly said. "Your grandpa Bob picked that one."
"Thank you grandpa." Gracie said running over and carefully hugging him,
"You are most welcome sweetheart." Bob said.
"It comes with a little carrying case so she can travel with them." Holly said.
"It's perfect." Becky said. "She'll have loads of fun with them."
"Can I open and play now?" Gracie asked.
"We have some time before dinner." Holly said.
"Yay." Gracie said,
"But first we gotta pick up this mess." Becky said.
"On it." Gracie said going to work and cleaning up the wrapping paper.
Becky smiled and helped her open the box and dig out the box and she went to work connecting the beads and admiring the different shapes.
"Daddy." Gracie said coming into the kitchen,
"Yes baby?" Seth asked squatting to her level.
"Will you wear my necklace?" Gracie asked holding up the beads.
"I'd love too." Seth said and he helped her put it on. "Well?"
"Beautiful." Gracie said. "I gotta make one for mommy now."
She ran back to the living room and Seth chuckled.
"She is going to make things for everyone to wear." Becky said.
"There is a little catalog in the box of different sets they make." Holly said.
"I'll look into that." Becky said.
"Are things set for your last pay per view and then the wedding?" Holly asked.
"Things are good." Becky said.
"With my change in storyline I will not be on TLC." Seth said. "There just isn't enough time to work things up."
"That's fair." Holly said. "And you?"
"I will be main eventing." Becky said.
"Wow, that four this year right?" Holly said.
"Yes." Becky said. "Still working out the match but it's going to be more history."
"I think you've done more in the last year history wise then any other women has." Josh said.
"I have." Becky said. "It's been amazing and I am looking forward to what next year brings."
"Are you going for mania's main event?" Holly asked.
"Everyone is, but yes it's my goal." Becky said. "I'd like to make it there with my title still in hand."
"Every few have done that." Seth said.
"Yes, I'll be the second women to do it." Becky said. "But the list is small."
"Trish right?" Josh said.
"Yes." Becky said.
"What about after Mania?" Holly asked.
"Then I think it might be time for a break." Becky said. "We're constantly on the go and I love it, but I'd like to slow down a bit, enjoy more down time with my family."
"Mommy." Gracie said coming in.
"For me." Becky asked.
"Yes." Gracie said as Becky moved to her level and they out it on.
"It's perfect." Becky said.
"Thank you." Gracie said.
"Sweet pea it is just about time to eat so will you clean up and wash your hands?" Holly asked.
"Yes grandma." Gracie said going to clean up.
"So yummy." Gracie said finishing her Mac and cheese. "Thank you grandma."
"You're welcome." Holly said. "Are you full?"
"Yes." Gracie said. "Daddy?"
"Yes?" Seth asked.
"Can I sit on your lap please?" Gracie asked.
"You getting sleepy?" Seth asked.
"Yeah." Gracie said.
Seth smiled and scooped her up and sat her on his lap.
"Such a daddy's girl." Becky said.
"Yep." Gracie said.
Seth chuckled and finished eating.
"Shh." Seth said as he adjusted Gracie on his shoulder as he got up from the table and she whined.
"Go sit down, I'll help your mom clean up." Becky said.
Seth smiled and walked to the living room and Becky helped Holly clean up and put things away.
"So this next week we have the children's hospitals, then we have TLC and then Raw before we fly to Ireland." Seth said.
"We fly over on the twentieth." Brandon said.
"Gracie is planning your tour." Josh said. "It's going to be fun."
"I can't wait." Holly said. "Are you two Honeymooning?"
"Yes." Seth said. "We are flying from Ireland to Fiji."
"Wow." Brandon said.
"What is Gracie going to do?" Holly asked.
"Well I was going to see if you wanted to bring her and Josh home with you." Becky said. "There is a dance camp she wants to do and Josh agreed to help at the school with some of the guys who need some fitness help and then bring her to Oklahoma City on January 5."
"I'd love to have them both." Holly said. "She wants to dance?"
"A couple weeks back she met a ballerina and did some dance moves with her and loved it." Becky said. "There is a week long intro camp at the dance school here in town and I signed her up, part way to keep her distracted while we're gone and part to see if she really likes it."
"Sounds like fun, just get me the information and I will see sheiks there." Holly said.
"Will do." Becky said. "I also arranged some more skating lessons at the rink."
"Okay." Holly said.
"I'll be sure to give you all the information needed." Becky said.
"I'll be at their house if you need anything or if she needs a night home." Josh said.
"Okay." Holly said. "We'll see she has a good time."
"Thanks." Becky said. "She's welcome to call us too anytime."
"Of course." Holly said. "Brandon got us a new TV for an early present and it's a smart tv so she can use it to video call you."
"Awesome." Seth said.
After Gracie woke up she got to open another present and found some new story books.
"This one is extra special because this book we made for you." Holly said showing her.
"Wow, thank you grandma." Gracie said hugging her.
"This is cool." Seth said looking through the book.
"The company let's you go on and submit a picture and some details about the kid and they create this story from it." Holly said.
"Can you read it to me daddy?" Gracie asked.
Seth smiled as Gracie climbed on Becky's lap and watched as Seth read the story.
"Wow." Gracie said when it was over.
"That was a great story." Holly said.
"It was." Becky said. "Did you like it?"
"I loved it." Gracie said. "The Gracie is the story was brave and strong like me."
"She was." Seth said.
