Over the next month Nikki and I started hitting the gym pretty hard to get back into fighting shape in time for an in ring return. One day while I was in the kitchen making Nikki a filling lunch. She was slowly getting her old body back. When she came into the kitchen with little Harley in her arms. "Hey, babe." She greeted.
"Hey. Did little Harley wake you up darling?" I asked.
"No.  She just barely woke up when I did and her sister Katherine and brother DJ are also awake." Nikki smiled as she approached me and kissed my cheek. Harley reached out for me, "Ohh you want to be held by your daddy Harley?"
Harley giggled as did Nikki and I. I let the sausage patties cook and gently took Harley from Nikki. She then went back to the nursery and retrieved Katherine and DJ. Then Sadie knocked and came into our home.
"Morning guys." She smiled as Nikki came in with DJ and Katherine in her arms. Sadie has been watching the kids as Nikki and I worked out every day.
"Hey, Sadie." Nikki and I replied in unison.
"How are my nieces and nephew today?" All three kids giggled and clapped as Sadie chuckled.

We made our return at Hell In A Cell and faced the team of Andrade and Zelina.
Harley, Katherine and DJ were with us along with Sadie.The kids were a hit with everyone backstage. Even Hunter and Stephanie had to come and see them. "You guys are really lucky." Stephanie said.
"Ohh, we know." Nikki smiled as she picked up Harley and I picked up DJ. Sadie picked up Katherine. Thea and Andrade came up to us and just turned into babbling idiots when they saw me and Nikki's baby's. Thea gently held her hands out for me to pass her little Harley and it surprised us to see Little Harley take to Thea so well. The only person that was able to hold Harley until now was me, Nikks and Sadie.

When our match came up, Sadie took control of the situation as Thea put Harley in her carrier, Leah put Katherine in her carrier and Braun put DJ in his. Sadie smiled as her nieces and nephew all fell asleep a second after being put in their carriers. Before we left along with everyone else as our match was just a couple minutes away. Brie came in with Birdie as Nikki and I headed out to the gorilla. Once Zelina (Thea) and Andrade were in the ring. 'Almighty Dollar' hit the speakers and we came out in matching attire. Mint money green suit and tie for me. Pressed gold bar colored jacket, top and shorts along with knee pads and shoes for Nikki. We got the biggest pop of the night that night.

Thirty minutes into the match, Andrade and I were bone tired as we had traded control of the match and even made frequent tags  to our partners throughout the match. I tagged in Nikki which meant that Thea was automatically in for her team. I watched from the corner as I tried to regain some strength and energy as Nikki took apart Zelina in every way possible. After wailing on her for sixteen minutes even with the ref pulling her off of Zelina. Nikki picked her up and put her across her shoulders and performed her Rack Attack on Zelina and went for the cover. Andrade tried to break the count for Zelina by getting the ref's attention only for me to hit him with a hard left hook and tossing him out before he was even able to tap the ref on the back or shoulder. When the ref counted the three count. I celebrated as did Nikki as I got in the ring and she leapt into my arms and raised her left hand in the air. Our first match back and we won it. We got our stuff and headed to the back. Once on the stage, we looked back at the ring and the destruction we left and a wide grin crept over our lips. The Priceless Pair was back. And there was nothing anyone could do about it.

Over the next few months, Nikki and I were unstoppable as a manager/wrestler pair. But when the opportunity came up for us to be a tag team. We didn't let it slide byu.s. We won most of the matches we were in. But we also spent the holidays with our kids and family along with a few friends.
Rumble came and went and I won the mens while Nikki won the womens. I chose to go after the Universal Championship and Nikki decided to go after the Smackdown Women's Championship. We also were in the running to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Nikki was to be inducted with her sister Brie. Daniel Bryan and I were to induct our wives. But they didn't tell me who would be inducting me. Which I didn't mind. All I had to worry about was me and Bryan's speech to induct our wives.
We even arranged for John, Kathy and JJ to watch over our little ones whil were on stage for the Hall of Fame the night before Wrestlemania. It was during the holidays that I met Nikki and Brie's stepsister Maya. She nearly volunteered to watch over her nieces and nephew with her parents and stepbrother.
Soon the night was upon us. The Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Nikki and I got dressed in dark Money Green matching suit and dress. Sadie helped us get our little ones ready for our night. I loved how Nikki looked in her dress which a had a wrap around collar with the back cut out and a slit along her left leg.
I was in a crushed velvet suit the same color as her dress. With a gold dollar sign tie and platinum color button up shirt.
Sadie looked at us and whistled, "You guys look ready for the Hall of Fame along with the Oscars in Hollywood."
"Thanks, Sadie. And the kids look really sharp in their dresses and suit." Nikki smiled.
"Agreed." I walked over to DJ and picked him up. "Come on Junior. Let's get going. To the Hall of Fame ceremony." We all headed down to an awaiting limo that took us to the ceremony.

Once we arrived at the ceremony Sadie took DJ as she held Katherine Maya came up to us and took little Harley from Nikki. And after we kissed our little girls and boy Nikki and I headed to the backstage area for the Hall of Fame ceremony where we gave interviews and posed for photos commemorating the greatest moment in our careers. There were pictures taken of me and Nikki. Brie and Nikki  and of course all three of us.

As the night continued the Bella Twins induction got closer and closer. Bryan and I agreed to cover them both on their debuts and cover them separately. And that's what we did. When we introduced our wives we took turns doing the introductions. Bryan introduced Brie first and I introduced Nikki after him. We both got a kiss from each of them and stood to the side as they did their acceptance speeches. They both acknowledged us and continued their speeches.
Once they were done. They waved to the crowd, and as an added joke. I stood next to Brie and Bryan stood next to Nikki and we kissed the wrong wives and once we 'realized' our mistake. The girls traded places and kissed us making all four of us laugh and smile as we waved to the crowd.
When we reached the back I hugged Nikki and Brie. Kissed Brie's cheek and kissed my Nikks on the lips.
45 minutes later, the video outlining my early days in the wrestling business to the match I got revenge on Cena at Mania the previous year. Once the video was over Jerry Lawler introduced my inductor. "Ladies and gentlemen. There's only one man that is perfect to induct The Billion Dollar Man. Ladies and gentlemen, Gordon Gekko himself. Michael Douglas."
Michael walked out to a standing ovation from the WWE Universe and Superstars, Legends and Hall of Famers. "Thank you. Thank you Jerry for that introduction. I met Daniel at the premiere of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. He still had his sweet heart Katherine then. We kept in touch here and there. And when I heard that he was back in the business he loved. I was happy for him and it was only cemented by the fact he was reunited with some old friends among them being his longtime friends the Bella Twins. One of which he married and started a family with. The ever gorgeous Nikki Bella." A thunderous applause could be heard throughout the arena as Michael stopped for a moment. Then continued, "When he beat long time rival and enemy John Cena in the grand spectacle of Wrestlemania 35 last year. I congratulated him on his victory through Twitter." An image of his tweet appeared on the screen behind him and he nodded. "It was close to a month later that he married Nikki and in early September last year they welcomed their children Katherine, Harley and DJ who I know are in the audience. But tomorrow night. The rematch of the decade is going to happen as Universal Champion John Cena will go against the Gordon Gekko of WWE in 'The Billion Dollar Man' Daniel Boyce-Colace. And if I might say so myself. With all due respect to you Cena. My friend in Money Green tights will be taking that title home with him. And if you don't believe me. Try and remember what happened at last year's Wrestlemania and tell me I'm wrong. With that said. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce to you, the latest and last inductee of the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2020. 'The Billion Dollar Man' Daniel Boyce-Colace." I walked out to the podium and hugged Michael and he gave me my hall of fame ring which was solid gold with freshly minted money green background behind the WWE Hall of Fame letters. I showed the nearest camera and with Michael still in ear shot. 'Greed is most definitely good.' I heard Michael laugh at what I said. I looked to all in attendance. And smiled as 'Greed Is Good' chants started to reverberate through the crowd.
"Thank you. Ha, ha, ha." I nodded as 'Let's go, Daniel' chants took the place of the greed is good chants. "Thank you. I uh. Am beyond humbled here tonight. As my wife." I stared daggers at Cena. "Nikki was inducted earlier this evening and now it's apparently my turn." Everyone laughed at that remark. "I did not think that this moment would happen to me in my lifetime. It's not that I'm proud of it happening the same night as my wife cause I am. In fact I can't think of a better night for me to be inducted than the same night as my wife." Nikki came out to the podium and stood next to me and wrapped her right arm around me. "I'm seriously at a loss for words. However, I do want to thank a few people." I pulled a folded up piece of paper, unfolded it and said, "I'd like to thank WWE for giving me the chance to shine in the sport that has been my home for so many years. I'd like to thank the sister of my deceased fiancee Sadie for always being there for me ever since Katherine died. I also would like to thank past, present superstars in WWE and Bayley. Tomorrow night it will be my girls will against yours and you will lose. I can guarentee you that. I like to thank the Colace family for opening their home for Thanksgiving the month before Nicole and I started dating and welcoming me into their family when I married Nikki." John, Kathy, JJ and Maya stood up when I mentioned them. "But I want to thank my wife and mother of our three children. And she's standing right next to me. I want to thank you so much Nikki for putting up with my antics, attitude and for giving me four reasons to continue with my career." I leaned down and kissed Nikki and we both smiled as we pulled away from each other. "As long you are wrestling my darling. I'll continue to wrestle as well." She smiled as we waved to the crowd and headed to the back where we shook hands with the other inductees of the night and when Michael came up to us we shook his hand and I hugged him like an old friend I've known for years. "Thanks for inducting me tonight Michael."
"No problem, Daniel. Good luck tomorrow night." Nikki smiled as she slid in front of me and I wrapped my arms around her.
"Thanks." I kissed Nikki's neck making her giggle.
When we rejoined Sadie and the Colace family. Nikki's mom offered to watch over our kids so we could have the night to ourselves. We all but leapt at the chance. While Kathy, John JJ and Maya along with Sadie watched over little Katherine, Harley and DJ. Nikki and I went out to dinner and made a night of it.

When we returned to the hotel we were face timed by our kids along with the Colace's. 'They're really doing well guys.  You don't have to worry about them tonight. Maya pointed the camera to our kids and said, 'Say hi to mommy and daddy.' We couldn't help but smile and just melt at the sight of our kids. Once we said our goodnights to them. Nikki and I had a nice long round of making love. And forty minutes  later, we fell asleep in each others arms. Smiles decorating our faces.

At the arena the next morning we had radio interviews, podcast interviews along with YouTube video interviews. Nikki and I talked about our respective matches. Even showed off our Hall of Fame rings. The Colace's, Sadie and Brie came into me and Nikki's locker room with Harley, Katherine and DJ. Nikki and I played with our kids and visited with her family and Sadie.

When Wrestlemania 36 went on the air. The Colace's headed to ringside with Sadie, Brie, and the kids.
It was an hour later when Nikki's match came up against Bayley for the Smackdown Women's Championship. I went out with her since Sasha Banks was going out to the ring with Bayley. After Bayley made her entrance. It was Nikki's turn. And I haven't heard a louder pop than the one for my Nikki.
I was so proud of my wife as she soaked in the adoration and admiration of the WWE Universe. I smiled as she slid into the ring and smiled and waved to the crowd and slid between the top and middle rope and kissed me. 'Love you, honey.' She said.
'Love you, too darling. Give her hell.' I smiled. Once the match started. My Nikki dominated the match. When Sasha tried to get the refs attention I walked over to Sasha and pulled her from under her causing her to hit the apron face first. I returned to Nikki's corner and with one Rack Attack. Nikki went for the pin and won the Smackdown Women's Championship. I climbed into the ring and celebrated with Nikki. 'I won baby.' Nikki smiled.
'That you did, honey. That you did. Ha, ha.' I hugged and kissed Nikki as the ref handed her the title.
we soon made our way to her family and our kids. We hugged and kissed our kids and then after a hug and kiss from Brie and Sadie we headed to the back and got ready for the 2020 Hall of Fame class parade. Brie came to the backstage area to get ready for the H.o.F. parade. I left Nikki and Brie alone so they could change in private.
Then Cena came up to me with the Universal Championship over his right shoulder. "What do you want John?" I asked. "Hollywood still reeling from your last box office bomb?" I asked.
"Nikki may have left me for you. But she'll wonder if she made the right choice in husbands after our match." He chuckled at his own joke.
"Well Johnny boy, at least I didn't run away like a coward, unlike someone I can mention." I said making John angry. "Another thing is at least I love her enough to marry her and have kids with her." He stormed off and Nikki came out with Brie in stunning dresses.
"Who was that, baby?" Nikki asked.
"A guy who will learn that he's past his prime later tonight." I told her. she grinned as all three of us made our way to the gorilla for the Hall of Fame parade.
She kissed me before heading out to the stage with Brie. Then I heard my name and headed out to the stage and waved to the WWE Universe.

After the Hall of Fame parade, I got ready for my Universal Championship match.
Nikki wanted to come out with me. And I wasn't about to argue with her. So when my match came up John made his way to the ring hoisiting the title above his head repeatedly. And once his entrance was over.'Almighty Dollar' came over the speakers and with Nikki by my side, made my way to the ring. She wore her newly won Smackdown Women's Championship around her waist. I kissed her before entering the ring. Then waited for the match to start.
Throughout the match, Cena and I traded control of the match.

35 minutes into the match, John performed the sixth Attitude Adjustment of the night and was going for the pinfall victory over me. Only for me to kickout at two and a half. He was stunned at how I did that, Nikki smiled with pride as I was still in the match. I got up as Cena continued to argue with the referee. I stood up straight as Cena walked over to me and I kicked him in the gut and delivered a devastating DDT to him. Slowly got up and looked to Nikki, then our kids at ringside with the Colace's. I smiled at them all and when Cena groggily got up and I walked over to him and put him over my shoulders and looked to the crowd and delivered my own A.A. and went for the cover and got the victory over Cena. Nikki got in the ring and walked over to the ref and gently took the Universal Championship from him then walked to me as I got up and put it around my waist and clipped it behind me. We stood in the center of the ring and held hands as we waved to the crowd only to  grab our kids from ringside and make our way to the back to change then to the hotel. Nikki and I spent the next few months entertaining the WWE Universe as Universal Champion and Smackdown Women's Champion.
The night before Summerslam, Nikki and I discussed the possibility of pursuing other interest in other avenues. We have had the discussion before on our wedding anniversary. Nikki wanted to start her own cosmetic line and start a line of wines with Brie. I on the other hand thought I'd write books of varying genres. It was this night that we decided to do something special for our last matches. Nikki was going against Mandy Rose for the Smackdown Women's Championship. I was going against Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship.
The night of Summerslam went on as expected. Nikki lost the Smackdown Women's Championship to Mandy Rose but got a standing ovation for putting on one hell of a match. I lost the Universal Championship to Roman in a war of a match. But we shook hands and I asked for a mic from the ring announcer. Which he gave me. The crowd knew instinctively that something major was about to go down. Nikki walked down to the ring and slid into the ring and stood next to me.
"Alright, I know there have been a lot of people speculating about what the announcement is that we are about to make." Nikki grinned as she slid into my side. "Nikki and I have done practically everything there is to do in this business. Now this was a very hard decision for us. As we love coming to every show in nearly every nation and country in the world. But we feel it's time to hang up our tights and boots for good. Therefore. We are announcing our retirement. Make no mistake you'll be seeing alot of us. Only not on WWE TV. I'm going to be writing books, and Nikki will be making her own cosmetics line and line of wines with Brie." The crowd cheered and 'Thank you, Daniel' and 'Thank you, Nikki' chants reverberated around the arena. "It was an absolute pleasure entertaining all of you all these years. But as much as it pains me and Nikki." My voice started to crack. "Its time to ride off into the sunset and see what lies beyond this business. Thank you. Thank you all for the honor of the Hall of Fame. Thank you all for everything." Nikki and I waved to the WWE Universe for the last time as we headed to the back only for the entire WWE locker room to come out and see us off. We smiled as we continued to the back hugging friends as we went along. It was later at the hotel that Nikki told me she was pregnant again and I was so happy about the news of us adding more to our growing family.

Three months later, Nikki and Brie got their line of wines off the ground, a few weeks later. Nikki's cosmetic line was launched.

Six months later we welcomed our fraternal twins James and Samantha to the world and our family. As for me. I'm a published author of science fiction, fantasy and fiction in general. I'm happy with how my life has turned out. I'm married to the love of my life in Nicole Colace. I'll never forget how much Katherine meant to me. I'm the father to five amazing kids. All in all. My life is and always will be priceless. Just the way it is. And I wouldn't trade it for anything.

The End.
