Chapter 1

Here I was standing in front of Madison Square Garden in New York City. I hadn't been here in years and never in a million years did I think I'd be here in this sense. You know what they say, time sure flies. It's been a little over 5 years since I've seen a WWE event live. Back before I had my little angel of course, back when I thought I knew it all. When everything seemed perfect. After all these years I've finally gotten my life back together.

Everything's finally the way it should be, well for the moment at least. I wonder what they'll say when they see me. I wonder what they'll say when they see her. Aww… who am I kidding, they'll love my little bit.

I got my wits about me and actually started to walk around backstage. Most of the people are relatively new so they didn't recognize me, which I was very thankful for. "Mommy?" I smiled, "Yes Munchkin?" "How much longer?" I smiled, "I don't know honey. I'll try my hardest to find him, 'kay?" Aribella nodded, "Kay Mommy."

I saw someone over to the left of us so I spoke up. "Excuse me?" He turned around and staring back at me was none other then Chris Jericho. "Can I help you?" Aribella tugged on my arm, "That's Y2J Mommy!" I laughed and noticed Chris got a smile on his face, "Why yes I am, and who are you cutie?" Aribella blushed, I smiled, "Her name's Aribella." "What a beautiful name." Then he turned his attention back to me, "Did you need something beautiful?"

I smiled sweetly, "Actually I was wondering if you knew where Ric Flair was?" Chris got a weird look on his face, "You're looking for Flair? Why would you be looking for HIM!" I laughed and Aribella spoke up, "That's not very nice!" I kept laughing. I mean just imagine a 5 year old yelling at Chris Jericho. Then I sobered up, "Honey that wasn't nice. Apologize to Mr. Jericho."

Aribelle pouted, "But Mommy…" I just gave her my 'I mean business' look and she stopped. "I'm sorry." Chris smiled, "I accept. But why'd you get so mad about me making fun of the old timer. He lost his wrestling ability a while ago, why would you be a fan?"

When he said that my jaw hit the ground and Aribella got REALLY mad, "Don't make fun of MY GRANDPA!" And Aribella stomped on Chris Jericho's foot as an exclamation point. Jericho hopped on one foot. "DAMN!" I glared at him, "He deserved that honey, nice job." And I gave Aribella a hi-5. I turned to Jericho again, "Do you know where he is, or not?"

Jericho nodded, "He's practicing in the ring with the rest of 'em." So that's where Aribella and I headed. We got to the ring and saw Dad with Dave Batista, Paul Levesque (Triple H), Randy Orton, Shelton Benjamin and Chris Benoit.

They looked to be talking thru the match while they were practicing in and out of the ring. When Aribella saw fit she ran to her grandpa, "Grandpa!" And she hugged his legs. Ric hadn't been expecting that but Aribella didn't have too much force so neither of them fell.

When he realized what was going on he picked Aribella up and spun her around, "Bella!" Aribella giggled and held her grandpa tight. He put her down and by then all ring activity had stopped. "You've gotten so big since I've seen you!" And the two of them went into their own world talking up a storm… translation, Aribella was talking and Ric was listening.

I went over to Paul considering he was the only one I knew. "Sorry about that guys. Belle found an opportunity and ran with it." They laughed, Paul smiled, "Hey Rory. Haven't seen you in a while. How've you been doing?" I smiled, "We're good. We both missed Dad a lot though." Paul nodded, "How old's Aribella now?" I smiled, "She turned 5 October 26th." "Wow. Five already?" I nodded, "Yep, time sure flies."

Then there was an awkward silence but Dad showed up and just the right time… my hero. He smiled and gave me a big hug, "How have you been Honey?" I smiled, "I've been great Dad. It's so good to see you. It's been so long." Ric smiled, "Too long. Last time I saw you was Bella's 5th birthday. I got you that doll house, remember sweets?" Bella nodded, "I still play with it Grandpa." Then she turned to everyone else, "Hi. I'm Aribella. You all are really good wrestlers."

Everyone laughed, "Sorry about that. Girls, this is Dave, Randy, Shelton and Chris. Guys, this is my daughter Aurora, and my granddaughter Aribella." Bella attatched herself to Paul's leg, "Uncle Paul!" Paul laughed, I wondered how long it would take you to notice me. How have you been kiddo?"

Paul picked her up and Bella giggled, "Good." And Paul started to tickle her, "Only good?" Bella laughed, "Great! I've been great!" Paul stopped tickling Aribella reluctantly, "If you say so."

We laughed, "That is just too cute. When are you and Steph going to have kids?" Paul smiled, "Well, we've been trying. What do you say Belle… want a little baby to play with?" Bella shrugged, "I dunno. Are babies fun to play with?"

I smiled, "You'd probably get board Bella." Paul smiled, "Actually Rory, she could play with Shawn's new addition." I squealed, "I bet she's a beaut. Are they here yet?" Ric smiled at his daughter, "Probably. You know Shawn, he always likes to be here early." I smiled, "I can't wait to see them." Bella caught on, "Does that mean I get to play with Cammy?"

Paul got down to eye level with Aribella, "Why by George, yes it does." Bella squealed, "Yippie! I get to play with Cammy! I get to play with Cammy!" I smiled, "I only hope that Cam feels just as excited." Randy laughed, "I can see it now, Cam thinking Bella has cooties and vice versa." I nodded, "Yea, that could happen. Kinda doubt it, but anything's possible."

We stayed and chatted with the guys for a while but Bella was being very persistent. "Mommy… can we find Uncle Shawn now?" I smiled, "You really wanna see Cam, don't you?" She smiled and nodded her head emphatically. Everyone laughed, "Well, I'll see you all later. Gotta go find Shawn and the gang." We all said our goodbyes and we were off.

We were walking around backstage for a bit when we saw Eric Bischoff. I smiled, "It's been a while Bisch, how have you been holding up?" Eric stared for a minute trying to place who I was. I smiled, "Here's a hint. 'Wooo'" Eric smiled as Aribella did her grandpa's 'strut'. I smiled, "Nice job Sweets." And gave her a hi-5.

"It's great to see you again Aurora and of course sweet little Aribella, how have you two been doing?" I smiled, "We've been good. How about you?" Eric smiled and laughed, "About as good as I can be in this business with all the running around and what not." I nodded, "I know all about that Eric. I was on the road with Dad a lot during school breaks."

Aribella stood there holding my hand for awhile but then she got bored with our conversation. She spoke up, "Mr. Biss… Mr. Biss…" Aribella tugged on my hand, "How do you say it Mommy?" I smiled, "Mr. Bischoff. Bisch, sort of like dish only with a B and then off." Aribella nodded, "Mr. Bischoff?"

He smiled down at her, "Yes Miss Flair?" Aribella giggled, "Do you know where my Uncle Shawn is?" Eric smiled, "Wanna play with the kids, huh?" Aribella smiled and nodded. "Well… they're down the hallway, third door on the right. Do you know which way right is?"

Aribella nodded, "Yep. This way." And held up her right hand proudly. I smiled down at her, "Very good honey. We'll see you alter Eric." Eric smiled, "She's pretty smart Aurora. You've done a good job." I smiled, "I try." Eric nodded, "Talk to you later girls. Bye Miss Aribella." Aribella smiled, "Bye Mr. Bischoff." And we headed towards Shawn Michaels' locker room.
