A Red-Hot Lunatic Family Vacation
from Christy on 06/02/2026 10:15 AMChristy and Moxie Ambrose finally joined daddy Dean on his WWE tour. And even though she didn't really want too, Christy did do some shows just to give her replacement some time off. Of course, she knew this was one way that she and Moxie could spend time with Dean, but even those days came far and few between with how tired he was and how much his body ached. And Christy knew it was only getting worse. Christy had just put down Moxie for her nap in her crib when Dean came in from working out at the gym. Christy turned to look at Dean and put her finger to her mouth as she began to softly speak to him. "Shh....I just got her to sleep," Christy told him softly as she walked away from the crib and over to him. She could tell by the look on Dean's face that WWE once again extended his touring date, which irritated Christy to no end because it was cutting into their family time and from the way Dean was looking, it was killing him, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. She thought about saying something to Dean, but it wouldn't do much good, considering he loved being a wrestler. Neither one said anything as Christy watched Dean set his gym back down by the door and then sat on the bed. He let out a sigh as Christy watched Dean put his head down in his hands. Finally, Christy had enough and went over to him. She positioned herself behind Dean with her knees under her on the bed. Christy began to gently rubbed his shoulders as she watched his head rise from his hands.
She smiled knowing that just the touch of her fingers made him feel good. And she knew this by the soft moaning that he was making. As she continued to rub his shoulders, she began to speak to him. Christy was using the softest and most warming tone she had. "Sweetie, why don't I go run you a nice hot bath, and then afterwards, I'll call room service and order us something to eat," she added as she kept using the same tone she started with. "And then we can lay back in bed and watch a movie and eat and we can lock the world and WWE outside for the night," she suggested as she kept rubbing his shoulders. She let her suggestion sink in as she continued with her massage, now moving down to his back, which he was loving considering his moans were getting a little louder, though not loud enough to wake Moxie. "And we can shut off our cell phones for the night so that WWE can't call us until we turn them on sometime tomorrow," she said knowing that they really wasn't going to tape the show until tomorrow anyway. When Christy finally stopped massaging him, Dean straightened his head and opened his eyes. Then he turned and looked into her eyes, which she was looking back with as much love in her eyes as she had in her voice. Dean smiled and then tilted his head and passionately kissed her, to which she knew right then and there that Dean loved her ideas. Finally, after passionately kissing for a few minutes, they pulled away, in which Christy saw Dean's lunatic smile on his face again. "I sure did miss that smile," she whispered to him. "Now you get yourself ready and I'll go run you a nice hot bath," she told him as she quickly got off the bed and rushed to the bathroom to start Dean's bath.
ReplyA Lunatic Mother's Day Starring the Ambrose Family (2026)
from Christy on 06/02/2026 01:00 AMChristy Ambrose knew that Dean was getting ready to go back out on the road. And even though she still had her job as an announcer with WWE, she just wasn't ready to take Moxie to that kind of environment yet, even though she was 6 months old. The other thing that made Dean leaving so bad was Mother's Day was coming up in a few weeks, and even though he would be there to help celebrate Christy being a mother, he would then have to immediately leave once they were done. And that was what upset Christy the most, even though she wasn't going to let it show. So, Christy continued packing Dean's things happily until she was completely done. Once she had everything that she knew Dean would need for his new WWE tour, she zipped up both suitcases and then placed them next to their bedroom door. She would take them down later and placed them by the door so Dean could just grab and go after they got done celebrating. And with that, Christy went and sat on hers sand Dean's bed, wondering what he was planning to do on Mother's Day. He never really said how they were going to celebrate, just that they were going to celebrate big. And then, while she was packing, she knew that Dean took Moxie to town, to do what he didn't say, only the fact that he wanted to take Moxie and go into town. So, Christy sat on their bed with nothing to do, which led to her letting out a sigh. Finally, after looking around their bedroom, Christy got up and finally went downstairs, closing their bedroom door behind her.
Once she got down the stairs, Christy went into the kitchen to fix her drink. Once she had her usual strawberry watermelon water fixed, she poured it over some ice to make it colder and then went to the living room and sat on the couch. Once she was sitting comfy on the couch, she reached over and grabbed the remote from the coffee table and turned on the tv and began to flip through the channels until she found one that she wanted to watch. A couple of hours and several episodes of HOUSE, MD, the front door began to open, which caused Christy to quickly sat up with a smile on her face. And that smile only grew when she saw Dean carrying a very tired and sleeping Moxie in his arms. "Aww, she's completely tuckered out," Christy said softly as she got up and went over to Dean and Moxie. "Whatever you two were doing in town really wore her out," Christy said as Dean gently and carefully handed Moxie over to her without waking her up. Dean still hadn't said anything, which meant that not only was he trying not to wake their little daughter up, but he was also trying to avoid telling her what they were doing half the day in town which she knew they probably went shopping for Mother's Day, though what she didn't know was there was so much more that Dean was planning. After Christy finally had Moxie in her arms, Dean softly kissed the top of Moxie's head and then Christy's lips, with a huge smile on her face. "I'll take her up and put her to bed," Christy whispered. "And then I'll be down and we can talk," she added as Dean finally nodded his head and she turned to gently walk up the stairs to Moxie's room.
The Lunatic Fringe and Playboy Bunny of Easter (2026)
from Christy on 06/01/2026 08:28 PMChristy Ambrose was getting Moxie ready for her first checkup while Dean was getting ready to go out to run some errands. After kissing Dean and then watching Dean kiss Moxie, she turned and took her and went to her car. And after putting Moxie and her car seat into the back of Christy's car, Christy turned in time to see Dean locking their house up. "See you when we get home, my love," Christy said as she opened her car door. "And I will let you know what the doctor's says, though I know our little Moxie is healthy as a horse," she said with a giggle as she watched Dean nodded in agreement. Christy then got into her car and once she had her car started, she pulled out of their driveway and onto the highway heading towards the clinic, while Dean was not too far behind her. Once Christy got to the first stop sign, she made sure that nothing was coming and then went on straight, while Dean, who did the same turned left. Christy looked back at Moxie, who was sleeping peacefully, and she couldn't help but smile. So, when Christy came up to the second stop sign, she reached over and turned on the radio softly so that she could hear something other than silence. It was then an Easter commercial came on and that's when Christy realized that this would be Moxie's first Easter, which meant that Christy had to do something big for her, though she was also thinking that Dean forgot about upcoming Easter, which was only three weeks away. Christy also knew that once she got to the clinic and got Moxie checked in, that she would have to text Dean and tell him what they almost forgot, if not for a radio commercial, which made her chuckle. Christy drove for a little while, singing softly with whatever song that came on the radio. Finally, after about 20 minutes of driving, Christy finally got to the clinic, she pulled into the parking lot and began to look for a good spot to park, which she found one close to the door, parked the car and shut off the engine.
Christy took a deep breath, gathered her purse and diaper bag, which she was highly thinking about just using just the diaper bag as a purse and diaper bag as both purse and diaper bag. Anyway, once she had both bags, she got out, closed her door and then got into the back seat and got Moxie, car seat and all, out of the back. Then after closing the door, Christy, along with Moxie, went inside the clinic and after checking Moxie in, Christy went and found a seat, placing Moxie, who was still in her car seat on the floor next to her, making sure that she was doing okay, which Moxie was, then she pulled out her phone and began to text Dean. "Hey baby," she started typing and then quickly on while waiting to see Moxie's doctor. "I bet you don't know what we forgot that was coming up," she wrote and not even waiting for Dean to reply back. "Easter is in three weeks and we nearly forgot it, considering it will be Moxie's first Easter," she added and then paused for a little while to read everything she wrote. She also paused for a few minutes just so she could hear for hers and Moxie's name, which nothing so far. Christy then went back to texting Dean. "Anyway love, I think we should do something big for Moxie since it will be her first Easter. And yes I am well aware that you will be going back out on the road soon," she wrote and the quickly went on. "Let me know what you think and maybe when we get home we can discuss it more," she wrote just as Moxie's doctor's nurse came out. Christy looked up and knew it was hers and Moxie's turn, so she quickly hit the send button and once she got the sent message, Christy gathered her things and the picked up Moxie and soon followed the nurse to the back, making sure to slip her phone into her pocket as she walked with everything in her arms, including Moxie.
Re: A Lunatic Fringe Kind of Love
from Christy on 06/01/2026 06:45 PMChristy smirked as she at the onion ring and listened to Dean teasingly trying to get some information out of her, though she knew she would eventually tell him. Once Christy's mouth was empty, she leaned forward with her hands on the table. She did not say much at first, just continued to look Dean in the eyes. Finally, after a few minutes, Christy was finally ready to speak, she started off teasingly before getting serious. "Aren't you afraid that someone might overhear what I am planning and get a little upset?" she asked Dean as she was chuckling as she went on speaking. "Of course, what I'm planning on wearing, really isn't for children's ears and some parents might complain," she continued chuckling. Then she finally got serious as she went on speaking on the same subject before moving on. "Besides, I really don't think you want me sharing everything that I have planned, considering you might get a little jealous over the stuff other guys might here that I meant for only you," she said as she pushed the plates of food aside and reached over and took Dean's hands into hers. Then Christy got serious as she began to speak to him. "Deanie Bear, I won't tell you exactly all the naughty things that I have planned, including the outfit that I am planning on wearing," she told him as the grin came back onto Christy's face. "But trust me, my sweetie Deanie Bear," she said as she reached over and touched Dean's face. "You are going to love it. Now, no more worrying about that," she added. "Besides, if I know you, and I do, you also have something up your sleeve that you aren't telling me," Christy said and then she finally moved onto another subject, starting with what Dean was planning on getting for dessert.
"I can't wait to see what you are picking up for dessert," she said with a chuckle as they went on, now speaking on the champagne before moving on how long Dean would be gone and finally moving on to how long it would take her to get the rest of the stuff she would need for their dinner. "I can already taste the bubbly on my lips now, Christy told him and then paused for a few minutes. Then Christy went on speaking with a huge smile on her face. "You might want to get an extra bottle or two, just in case we feel like celebrating after we get done celebrating," she told him chuckling as she then was quiet for a little while as she was listening to Dean answer her question. Christy nodded as she listened to Dean's reply and then asked his own questions, to which she didn't answer right away. She looked down at her shake and began to play with it for a little while. Once she was done playing with it, Christy then took a long drink from her shake and when she was done, she sat it aside. Once Christy's mouth was completely empty, she looked up at Dean with a smile on her face and soon began to speak. "It shouldn't take me more than five minutes to get the rest of what I need to get," she told him honestly. "But I also have a couple of other places to go to as well, which will take a little longer," she told him, though not saying exactly where else she was going, but knowing that what she had planned was going to drive Dean crazy when he saw it. Christy cleared her throat and went on with her thoughts before Dean had time to question her. "So, you will probably be home before I get home," she told him. "Which means, you can get yourself ready while I'm still out doing my thing. And then after I get home, I will get dinner started and then once that is cooking good, I will get myself ready," she told him with a smile as she saw the light in Dean's eyes light up, causing her to chuckle. "I take it that you like that idea," she told him still chuckling.
Re: A Shamrockin Time Leads to a Little Leprechaun Hooligan (2026)
from Christy on 05/31/2026 04:45 PMChristy looked into Dean's eyes and even though she couldn't see anything that would tell her that Dean was actually up to something, Christy still had this feeling he was. But that was okay because she, herself was up to something for St. Patrick's Day. Dean and Christy still didn't have their own locker room yet, mostly due to the fact they were waiting for Dean and Christy to get married, which they were, Christy and Dean just hadn't gotten around to tell the WWE executives yet. They sort of wanted to enjoy being married before WWE sucked all the fun out of it. The smile on Christy's face never left as she began to speak to him. "I know you Deanie Bear, you are planning something," she said with a chuckle. "But I will pretend that you aren't," she told him with a giggle. Then she laid herself down on the couch, getting herself comfortable as she could. Then Christy looked around for something to cover up with, when Dean noticed what she was doing and then went over and got his jacket and placed it on her just like a blanket, which caused her to let out a content sigh. Christy gave Dean a smile as she reached over and took his hand into hers. Christy gave it a squeeze and then gave it a kiss as she looked up to him and began to speak to him. "I know that you will," she told him as she yawned and then went on. "And yeah, it's probably will be very long night," Chrisy said as she closed her eyes. "But we will get through it, just like we always do," she said softly with her eyes closed. Christy didn't say anything for a few minutes as she started to fall asleep, but then quickly opened her eyes so that she could wait until Dean was gone before she went to sleep.
"Don't worry, my love," Christy said softly. "I'm not planning on moving for a while," she whispered as her eyes closed once again, causing her to fall fast asleep. Dean smiled as he leaned down and softly kissed the top of her head softly before finally leaving, he went for his jacket and then decided to leave it with her since she looked so adorable wearing it while she slept. After Dean left to go do whatever it was, he was going to do, Christy stayed back at the arena, getting so much needed rest and sleep. After a few hours of sleeping and resting, Christy woke up not hungry but thirsty as well. She sat up on the couch for a few minutes as she let herself slowly wake up. Once Christy was completely awake, she got up and went over to her purse and got her wallet. And soon, she was at the vending machine getting her some chocolate, chips and a couple of Mountain Dews. After she got her stuff, she then went back to Dean's locker room. She knew Dean had taken every precaution so that she would not be bothered, which she loved because she really didn't feel like dealing with people at the moment. Once she was back in Dean's locker room, she went over and sat her things on the table. Then she went over to her bags and pulled out her laptop, which Dean was kind enough to bring just to give her something to do while she waited for the show to end. After getting her laptop sat up on the table, next to her snacks and drinks, Christy then began to log into her computer and while it was loading, she began to open one of her snacks, and nibble on it until the laptop was ready. And as she was nibbling on her food, Christy then got on the internet and began to map out her plan for a St Patrick's Day surprise for Dean.
Re: Flowers and Chocolate from a Lunatic's Heart (2026)
from Christy on 05/31/2026 02:23 PMChristy was still sleeping when Dean went to town. He had told her the night before that he had to go into town for a while to do some errands, so she had no reason to worry about Dean. Anyway, Christy was sleeping peacefully as she was trying to catch up on her sleep from all the times from being on the road. She had just got herself all nice and warm when her eyes flew open and soon, she threw the covers off and ran to the bathroom, throwing up, just like she did every morning. After several minutes of sitting next to the toilet, with a cool wash clothe in her hands to wipe away any spit back and even to cool her head, Christy laid her head back for a little while, at least to calm the dizziness that she was feeling. She had taken a couple of pregnancy tests while they were out on the road and both came back negative, though she was sure deep down that she was, which would make a great Valentine's Day present for Dean. And that was the second thing that was on her mind, though it didn't have anything to do with her being dizzy, but it did give hr a small headache. After about 15 minutes of just sitting there resting, Christy started to get up when another wave of dizziness flooded her, causing her to once again sit down. Then she leaned over and began to throw up again. She had a feeling that if she was pregnant, which she almost knew she was, was going to be a very rough one. And as right as she knew she was, she wasn't about to let that stop her from planning something for Dean for Valentine's Day. She just needed a few minutes to get herself together before she did anything. Finally, after another 15 to 20 minutes of sitting by the toilet, though not really throwing up but rather just staying close just in case, she was able to get without feeling dizzy or feeling the need to throw up. Christy quickly cleaned up the toilet and the area around her.
Then she began to rinse her mouth out with mouth wash. Once that was done and the cleaning was done, she rinsed out the washcloth and hung it up to dry. Christy then thought about going back to bed, but she realized that she was wide awake, so she went over and grabbed her fully charged phone off her charger and headed downstairs to get herself a ginger ale. After making herself a cold ginger ale and taking a couple drinks, Christy entered her phone password and then saw that she had a message from Dean. And as she opened it, she couldn't help but smile. They hadn't been married for very long, but she knew that it didn't matter what was going on between them, he was always going to check up on her. Christy couldn't help herself but smile as she read the text and then reread it again. Then as Christy sat at the table, drinking her ginger ale, she began to reply back to Dean's text. "Hey Deanie Bear! I just woke up and like every morning, I spent the morning throwing up, though this morning it was really bad," Christy typed and then soon went on. "I ended up with a bout of dizziness, so I think I'm just going to take it easy," she added as she paused to take a couple of drinks from her ginger ale. Then Christy put down her phone on the table and got up and went to make her some dry toast. Once she had that made and was sitting back at the table, she picked up her phone and finished off her text. "Anyway," Christy started typing again as she started eating her toast. "If you want to pick up some more ginger ale, that would be good. Either way, I will see you when you get home," she typed and once she was done with her last thought, she hit the send button, and once she got the sent button, Christy picked up her drink and her toast, along with her phone and went to the computer room and got on the computer to start to do research for her Valentine's Day plan for Dean.
Re: The Joining of Two hearts and Souls with Two Golden Wedding Bands
from Christy on 05/31/2026 11:39 AMChristy was almost finished getting her hair done when she heard her phone going off. Christy knew it had texted her back. And though she knew that he was supposed to be ready for the wedding, though to be fair, she knew she was the one who distracted him by texting him first. That made her chuckle as her hairstylist finally finished with her hair. Once Christy saw how it looked, she couldn't help but be overjoyed with it. And Christy knew that Dean would absolutely love it as well. After Christy paid for her hair style, she got up from her chair, paid for her stuff and then was soon back out in her car ready to head to the nail salon to get her makeup and nails done. But before she even started her car, she pulled out her phone and began to read the text that Dean had sent her and as Christy read the text over and over, the smile on her face never left. Finally, after starting her car, Christy then began to text Dean back, still wearing a huge smile on her face as she went on typing to him. "Hey, my sweet Deanie Bear," Christy typed and then went typing. "I miss you too, my lunatic love, but don't worry, we will be together very soon," she typed and then paused for a few minutes. Then Christy went typing with a huge smile on her face, though she couldn't help but think about how Dean was going to love the dress she chose for herself to wear. After pausing for a few minutes and thinking about what else she wanted to say, Christy went on typing, starting with what dress she was going to be wearing when she walked down the aisle. "
And I know you can't wait, which I can't wait for you to see it either. I think you are really going to love what I have chosen," Christy wrote and the paused for a few minutes to read what she had typed. Once she was happy with what she wrote, Christy then went on to type the rest of what she had to say, though stopping to check the time to make sure she didn't miss her next appointment, which she knew she wouldn't. Christy couldn't help but chuckle as she read the rest of Dean's text before finally typing out the rest of her reply. "I feel the same way, my love. I have both butterflies from being so nervous and yet the excitement of walking down the aisle to become your future wife is also thrilling," she typed and then added heart emoji at the end of the last sentence. Christy also added a kissy emoji next to the heart. "I love you more than words can ever say or express, my sweet Deanie Bear," she wrote and then paused for a few minutes to think about what else she could write before sending the text. Once she realized that she said just about everything she needed and wanted to say, she hit the green send button and once she got the sent message, she threw down her phone in the passenger's seat and began to put her car into reverse, pulling out of her parking spot. Then she headed for the parking lot exit, which she had to wait to pull into traffic because of the traffic, and as she waited, she turned on her radio and flipped to a station with some upbeat music. Finally, after about 5 minutes or so, Christy was able to turn onto the highway, heading towards the nail salon, singing happily as she drove, only stopping that the appropriate red lights.
Re: A White and Lunatic Kind of Christmas (2025)
from Christy on 05/31/2026 09:21 AMChristy thought it over for a few minutes as they were still looking deep into each other's eyes. She knew eventually she would have to give him an answer, but right now, she just wanted to enjoy being engaged and loving her Deanie Bear. Christy knew that Dean knew that she was deep in thought as she turned and looked back out the window. Christy could feel Dean softly and gently squeezing her hand, just so that she knew he was still sitting there next to her. Finally, after looking out the window for a little bit, she turned and looked at Dean and began to speak to him. "I love that idea, my love," she told him, which was the truth she did love the idea of having a wintery/Christmasy wedding. "But before we do all of that," she went on speaking. "Do you think we can do all the fun wintery/Christmas things that most people usually do?" she asked him, using the same puppy dog look on him that he just used on her, which it always worked on each one of them. And that's one of the reasons why they had such a good relationship on the way its way to being a great marriage. Finally, after what seemed like several minutes, but was actually only about 10 minutes before she turned back and looked at Dean with a smile on her face.
She could see the puzzled look on his face, and she couldn't help but giggle as she went on to explain exactly what she meant. So, Christy cleared her throat and went onto explain what she wanted to do with him. "What I was thinking was that maybe we could walk around in town as the snow falls, looking at the window displays and pointing things out that we want," she told him. "Then we would go grab a cup of hot and rich hot chocolate and maybe eat a sugar cookie as we listen to the carolers and watch the skaters on the ice," she said now starting to drift off to daydream land. Christy continued speaking, even after she knew Dean was starting to understand. "And then to end the day we stand in the cold, huddled together and watch the town like the tree," she added. "To which would lead us up to finding me a wedding dress and us a chapel," she said with eyes sparkling and a sweet smile on her face. Christy only paused for a few minutes to let everything sink in. Once she was sure that Dean understood, she went on speaking. "Then finally, I walk down the aisle and become the new Mrs. Dean Ambrose," she told him both happily and excitedly over their plans. "Because I love everything that we have discussed," she told him with a giggle on her face.
Re: A Lunatic Fringe Kind of Love
from Christy on 03/20/2026 07:13 AMChristy had picked up an onion ring and dipped it into ketchup as she was listening to Dean speak about going and getting the last few things for their romantic night. She ate the part of the onion ring that had ketchup on it and once her mouth was empty, she began to speak to him. "First, I knew you would love it," she told him as a smile came across her face. "And if you think this outfit is a knockout, then wait until you see what I plan on wearing later on tonight," she said with a seductive smile and wink to let him know it was going to be a very naughty outfit. That's when Dean started to blush and Christy couldn't help but chuckle as she went on speaking. "I love that blush you have. And I love it when you bring out your dimples too," she said as he blushed even more. There was a silence that came over them as they went on eating, though the chuckling and laughing didn't seem to stop. Finally, after Dean asked her about dessert and champagne. She hadn't gotten either one yet, and with him wanting to do that, that meant one less thing she had to do.
Finally, after dipping another part of her onion ring into ketchup, she began to speak to him. "Honestly, Deanie Bear," she said as she got ready to eat not only the ketchup part but the whole ring. "I would greatly appreciate it if you could pick up the champagne and dessert," she told him. "I still have to get things for dinner and a few other things that you don't need to know about right now," she told him with a smirk on her face. She hadn't told him what she was planning on getting, but she had a feeling he knew she was going after a gift for him. What she didn't know was that the reason why he wanted to pick up dessert was because he had a cake premade in which his ring was sitting on top with Will You Marry Me written underneath it. Anyway, Christy ate a couple more onion rings before she wiped her hands on her napkin and then took a couple of drinks of her shake. Once her mouth was clean and she was looking at Dean, she began to speak to him. "How long do you think you will be gone?" she asked him. "Because we still need time to shower and get ourselves ready," she told him.
A Shamrockin Time Leads to a Little Leprechaun Hooligan (2026)
from Christy on 03/20/2026 06:32 AMIt was the day before St Patrick's Day, and everybody was already in green. Dean had just learned that he was going to be a dad, so he became extra protective of her. And even she was dressed in green. They were getting ready for WWE's St Patrick's Day show. Though Christy was pregnant, she still got to do her job, though they had to be careful about what she did. Dean also started to become overprotective of her, which she didn't mind, most of the time. But with everybody making such a fuss about her and the baby, she was starting to get annoyed. So, Christy decided to go to the soda machine to get her a soda and then she was going to go to Dean's locker room, which he was lucky to get one to himself, and see what Dean was doing and maybe catch a quick nap before she had to change into her green outfit for the show. After she got her soda, Christy opened it and took a couple of drinks. Then Christy walked down to Dean's locker room and once she got there, she knocked on the door and then went in. She saw Dean unpacking their things and she couldn't help but smile.
So, Christy closed the door behind her and then went over and touched his shoulder softly. He turned and smiled when he saw Christy. They kissed and Dean put his hand on her belly, which she wasn't showing yet, but it wouldn't be long before she would be. Christy finally broke the kiss as she was looking into his eyes. She noticed that Dean had his lunatic smile on, and she knew right away that he was up to something. "Alright Dean Ambrose," Christy said in her I know you are up to something tone of voice. "What did you do or what are you planning to do?" she asked him as she put her hands playfully on her hips, pretending to be mad. But Dean's smile only got bigger and instead of telling her what he was up to, which she would find out later during the show, but until then Dean wasn't going to say a word. And when he didn't say anything, Christy just shook her head and went to sit down on the couch, while Dean went back to getting their things ready. As Christy watched, she began to speak to him. "Hey Deanie, I'm gonna lay down on the couch for a little while," she told him. "And if I should fall asleep, will you wake me up an hour before the show so that I can get ready?" she asked him.
