Authors Notes: Ok so I probably should have finished Katie's first story before starting this, but well my muse wouldn't shut up. I know a lot of things have gone by the wayside, but I'm really gonna try to finish this one.

Chapter 1

October 14, 2010

I was still coming to terms with what had happened at Bound for Glory. I couldn't believe that Jeff, the man who I considered a second father, could do something like this. He was someone that I truly respected. He betrayed so many people with on simple act that I wasn't sure I was ready to deal with him. He made me feel like Kurt did for so long. I thought he had more morals and ethics than that.

I saw my father go down to the ring. I was a little nervous despite the fact I knew he had a spot tonight, and I knew that Jeff was going to rough him up some tonight. He'd been pretty vague about the details. I had a feeling it was gong to be bad. I honestly hadn't talked to Jeff that much in the last week or so. I wasn't ready to deal with this, and I had my 10 month old baby with me so tonight didn't look like a great opportunity to do much talking.

My relationship with Kurt had grown so much in the last two years or so. He really took Karen leaving him to heart and changed so much. I was honestly proud of the person he's become. He has done so much to prove that he cared and that we should have a relationship. He had helped me through the broken hearted times and shared so much with me. He was there when Kayleigh was born. He was the first person to hold her aside from me.

"Here, Katie, you can have her back," AJ said holding our sleeping daughter. I hadn't expected him to take Kayleigh very long. He hadn't spent much time with her in her sort life. I didn't see that changing anytime soon. I think I could count the number of nights she's spent with him on just a few fingers. He was always to busy for her. Kind of like Kurt was always to busy for me, but Kayleigh had a Papa who loved her to make up for it.

AJ and Jenna divorced shortly after I got pregnant with Kayleigh. We were going to try to have a relationship and do all the things that people expecting a baby do. The only thing that we didn't take into account was the fact that I was 21 and still had a lot of growing up to do, and he was a 32 year old pro-wrestler who's career was his life. As soon as AJ joined up with Ric Flair, our relationship basically crumbled like a sandcastle that you build to big to quickly. I suppose it was destined to fall. We never had a very stable relationship.

"AJ, I thought you wanted her tonight. What if I have plans?" I said. I wished that I could have a life. I mean I know my dad or Kristal (my soon to be step-mom) would take her for an evening in a heart beat, but I didn't want them to think I was taking advantage of it. Kayleigh is my responsibility.

"Don't be a bitch, Katie. She's your baby just as much as she is mine. I need my sleep tonight, and she'll wake up in the middle of the night," AJ said rolling his eyes at me.

"Or maybe you and Frankie want to go out. You said that you would take her tonight, so I made plans. She's your responsibility tonight. You said you would keep her until tomorrow morning," I told him. I really didn't have any firm plans, but I didn't want him to think that this was going to happen every time it wasn't convenient to not do what he said. I didn't want Kayleigh to have the same relationship with him that I had with Kurt for so long. She deserved so much better than that. She was going to get better than that if it killed me.

"Katie, get real. What kind of plans can you have tonight? I just agreed to take her a couple hours ago," AJ said. I could tell his mind was going. "You can't be going out on a date." I love how he assumes what could be the worst possible outcome for him.

"So what if I am? We aren't dating; you royally fucked that up," I said glancing at the monitor as I hear Jeff's music begin. I wanted to see what Jeff was going to do. I hoped he didn't let personal issues get into it. I knew Jeff so well that I wasn't sure exactly what he was going to do. He could be unpredictable sometimes. I wasn't sure what to do with this new Immortal thing either. It threw everything off balance.

I watched silently as Jeff talked. AJ was going on about something, probably my pretend date. I cringed when Jeff brought their personal issues into it. I also cringed at the words that Kurt had to say about Karen. Despite what had had happened and the changes in her she was still someone I considered a mother. I still cared deeply about her. I prayed that this would be over soon. I wasn't sure how much more of this I could handle.

My eyes grew wide as Jeff and Kurt began to get into a physical scuffle and got even wider as Gunner and Murphy hand cuffed Kurt. "You have to take her tonight. You're her father," I said. I saw Jeff was continuing his assault. I was all ready heading out of my locker room toward the gorilla area. I wanted to be there when Kurt came back so he couldn't downplay the severity of his pain. I caught glimpses of the carnage on monitors along the way. It wasn't going to be a pretty evening.

Joe met me there. "You need to calm down," he said. That was when I saw Jeff smash Kurt head first into the side of the announce table. Joe had to literally hold me to keep me from going out there, but I could see the concern on his face. I saw through the whole segment how stiff Jeff had been. "Kaitlyn, you have to wait here. Kurt will be back in a minute and need someone's help," Joe whispered in my ear.

"It's him isn't it?" AJ practically screamed. I couldn't believe he had followed me. I was just about sick of this all ready. He was Kayleigh's father and that was it. He wasn't anything romantic to me anymore.

"Where is Kayleigh?" I asked. I needed something else to focus on for a moment or two. AJ was going to regret this. I wasn't going to let him run my life like he had for so long. With a baby involved now I was strong enough to get him out of my system. I had to be. I wasn't going to let her grow up thinking that going back to something toxic was how all relationships were supposed to work. My mother taught me better I just wish I had listened.

"Matt is watching her for a few minutes. Who the hell are you going out with tonight?" AJ demanded. I glared at him. He ignored it like usual.

"Obviously with the shape my dad's in no one," I told him. "I have to take care of Kurt tonight, and I don't want to take Kayleigh with me if he has to go to the hospital or something. She doesn't need to see her papa like this."

Joe gave AJ an intimidating look but AJ completely ignored it and continued to inquire about my alleged date. I was waiting silently for my dad to come back so I could go with him to the trainers office and see what was going on for real. Kurt always downplayed his injuries for Kristal and I.

"AJ, I am not going to go out with anyone. I was never going out to anyone. Mickie asked me to go out with her and some of the knockouts. I was going to go with her," I finally said. "I will date eventually but right now Kayleigh and my dad are the most important things in my life."

"Whatever, Katie. That's complete BS. You just don't want her tonight," AJ said. I just left him where he was standing when I saw my father. He looked pretty out of it and if what I saw was anything his neck was probably killing him. He looked in a lot of pain even though I knew he was going to try to downplay it. He was ice man when it came to pain.

I smiled at him and kept following him into the trainers office. I was kind of nervous since I didn't know if this thing with Jeff at least for the night was over. I had a feeling that forever it was far from over. I didn't want to be caught in the middle of their war because I honestly don't think I could chose one over the other. They were both a huge part of my support system and my life.

"Where's Kay-Kay?" Kurt asked noticing me without the baby.

"She's with her daddy," I said. He had been really good at, at least pretending to be supportive of the fact that despite the jerk AJ had become I wanted Kayleigh to have a relationship with him. I think he knows how important it is for a child to have a relationship with their father.

"Well, you know, he doesn't have to keep her tonight I'll be fine, Kate," he said.

"You know as well as I do that your neck needs an MRI at the very least," I told him. I wasn't going to let him think that this was no big deal.

"I can wait till morning. Katie, it's really not as bad as you think. My shoulder hurts more than anything," he insisted.

I just rolled my eyes at him. I knew he was going to say something like that. He always tries to make things seem better than they actually are. He also tries to avoid doctors and the hospital if at all possible.

"No Dad you getting an MRI tonight just to make sure nothing is wrong. Jeff was too stiff out there especially when he bashed you against the announce table," I said. I wasn't going to let him win this argument. I would call in Kristal if I had to.

Kurt rolled his eyes at me and I instantly knew where I got that expression from. It was like looking into a mirror as he was doing it. "Don't roll your eyes at me. I'm the queen of eye rolls and you don't do it nearly as well," I joked. I knew he was going to give in.

Several hours later we ended up back at the hotel. Kurt's neck hadn't been aggravated to much. He was going to be fine, but he had to check with his doctor at home before he was in the IMPACT zone. I thought it was a good compromise.
