Also, this chapter and the one that follows will be set in 2006, about a week and a half before Kevin Nash was supposed o face Chris Sabin for the X-Division championship at Hard Justice and serve as background. Now - on with the story!

Summer '06

Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin looked at each other through the rear view mirror with trepidation as Chris mouthed 'I think he's lost it', before both turned to look at Kevin Nash.

The man known as 'big sexy' and current head of Paparazzi Productions was singing along to 'Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy'. Badly.

"Um, hey big man, Are you alright?"

Kevin stopped singing and turned to look at Alex, "Yeah, why?"

"Um, you're singing," Alex said with a look, "the only time anyone has heard you sing is in the locker room shower"

"Really? Whenever I get out of the showers the backstage area is empty" Kevin said with a confused look

"Yeah, that's because it clears out the locker room" Chris said, which earned him a punch to the leg, "ouch!"

The 7 foot Detroit native muttered what sounded like wuss under his breath before he turned his attention back to the road, "Anyway, can't a man just be happy?"

Shelley rolled his head to face his current mentor and nodded, "Sure, but there are various degrees of happy. There's 'wow today has been awesome' happy, and 'dude I am on something' happy, and last but not least there's 'I got laid last night' happy"

"And if it's the latter," Chris said from the backseat, "please don't tell us"

Kevin rolled his eyes at the two Detroit boys who he had become really good friends with. They were nice kids, but those mouths of theirs could get them into trouble, "you're lucky that I'm in a good mood, or you'd be tucking and rolling down the highway"

The two laughed as Chris said, "That just shows me how much you care"

"But seriously Big Kev," Alex said, "Why are you in such a good mood?"

Kevin's smile grew, "I'm spending the week with my daughter"

"Ohhhhh," the two Can-Am trained wrestlers said

Nodding, Nash continued, "Yep, she's on spring break and after much begging and groveling the former Mrs. Nash agreed to let her stay with me"

"Big Kevin Nash can be made to grovel?!"

"We need lessons," Alex said

Shaking his head Kevin laughed, "She and Anabelle are the only two people on this planet that can make me grovel"

"Pfft," Chris said leaning between the two front seats, "Obviously you don't know who you are dealing with. I mean, look at this face! Irresistible, right?"

Shelley turned to look at his best friend, and pretended to survey his face, "Face like a slapped ass is more like it," he said causing Kevin to let out a bellow of laughter and Sabin to pout and lean back into his seat

"Thanks man"

Alex smiled before turning back to the driver, "Anyway, I'm glad that you're going to spend time with Ana. How's she doing? I haven't seen her in ages"

"Wait- you've met mini-Nash?" Chris said

"Yep. She's Hawt!"

Reaching into his pocket, Kevin pulled out his wallet and handed it back to Chris, "That's my baby girl. Alex met her once last year when she picked us up from the airport"

Nodding Chris opened the wallet and saw a picture of Kevin holding a smiling infant. The next photo was of Kevin carrying a small girl wearing a WCW shirt on his shoulders. He flipped through more photos of Kevin with his former wife and the same young girl before stopping to stare at one photo in particular. It was of the same girl, but in it she was wearing a cheerleading uniform, and the photo was dated a year ago. Large hazel eyes gazed back at him smilingly and dark brown hair framed her face. There was something about her that seemed so full of life and sweet. And as crazy as it sounded, it made him want to meet her.

"Didn't I tell you she's hot bro?" Alex said as he fiddled with the car radio. When he didn't receive a response he turned to look at his 'brother from another mother' and the sight caused him to smile. "uh-oh Kev. It looks like Chris here is about to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage"

Surprised, Kevin looked at Sabin through the rearview mirror and saw that he was engrossed in the photo, "My worst nightmare come to life"

The lighter haired boy looked up at Kevin and smiled sheepishly at having been caught before taking one last look at the picture an handing the wallet back to its owner.

"She's gorgeous Kevin, really"

The older man smiled.

"Is she planning to follow in your large footsteps," Alex asked with a smirk

"She's always wanted to, but her mom told her that she had to finish school first," Kevin paused, "Suzy made me agree of course"

"Nice"

"Yeah, my little Bananabelle is about to finish her second year at the U of M as a Communications and Dance major"

"So, she takes after you ex then," Chris said ducking a cashew that was chucked at him

Alex turned and looked at Chris with a frown, "that' no way to speak to your future father-in-law"

The comment earned him two cashews between the eyes

For the next 10 minutes the ride was quiet until Kevin pulled up to the boys' apartment complex.

"Alright guys, get out!"

"Jeez dad, I can call you dad, right?" Chris said before jumping out of the car

Alex put a hand on Nash's shoulder, "Don't worry – I'll make sure he has the best of intentions with your daughter"

Kevin shook his head before telling the youngest of the group to bring Chris and some of the other Detroit boys by for a barbeque at his place in a couple of days. Shelley agreed before the car pulled away from the curb.
