Okay so I know Finding Eden isn't finished but I got this idea so I thought I'd put it out here, and ask you guys what you think. This oen probably really won't get updated very quickly.

A Best Friends Lies

Chapter one

The past is another country

There was the normal organised chaos, going on backstage, at Monday night Raw. Keslie Tranmer found it all a little overwhelming, as she followed the assistant who was leading her to her meeting with Vince Mcmahon. Her Da-li had arranged the original meeting. However when Vince had, had to cancel, at the last minute, due to unforeseen circumstances, he had extended an invitation for him, to come to the wrestling show, and see for himself, what the company he was thinking of working with was like. Unfortunately Da-li could not make this meeting, since he had a doctor's appointment, so it had fallen to her, as his granddaughter and heir, to attend in his place. Her Da-li was a big part of her world, he had taken her in when her parents had kicked her out, and she had nowhere else to go. If not for him, she did now know what she would have done, she had been alone, homeless and friendless.

Her Father and her Da-li, had fallen out years before she had been born, Keslie had never met the man, but she had managed to contact him, and asked for his help. She had almost been surprised, to find he didn't have horns and a tail, the way her Father had talked about him, when he spoke about him at all, was as if he were the devil incarnate. With him, she had found the love and support, she had dreamed of all her life. Her parents were people of specific views, and she had not lived up to expectations. They had not been slow to tell her that, when they showed her the door. Still that was all in the past now, she had gone from living in a house where you prayed three times a day, and were punished severely for your sins. To a house, where there was always laughter and joy. The dark rooms of her parent's home, replaced by the light airy rooms, her Da-li enjoyed. For the first time in her life, she knew what it was to be praised by a parent, and loved unconditionally. Of course, her Father was not happy, when he found out who had taken her in, he had thought she would get rid of the results of her transgression, and come home contrite, and willing to embrace their life style. Da-li had sent him away with a flea in his ear, when he turned up at the door, and had changed his will that very day, to make her his sole heir.

She pulled herself out of her reflections on the past, and side stepped the men, who were carrying some sort of equipment down the hallway. She would forever be grateful to Da-li, for what he had done for her; however he wouldn't thank her for messing up a business deal, by her inattention to her surroundings. Fixing a cheerful smile on her face, she hurried to catch up with her guide, and tried not to get lost, in the mêlée all around her.

"Here we are Miss Tranmer." The man stopped in front of a door, with the name Vince Mcmahon on it, the plaque was surprisingly permanent looking, for a very temporary office. She knew they would only her here for the night, from the background reading Da-li had given her, and from what she had been told, by someone else in the past.

She watched as the man knocked on the door, and she heard the voice of the man she had come to meet, answer from the other side."Come in."

Her guide opened the door, and poked his head around it. "Miss Tranmer is here sir." He paused, and then opened the door further, ushering Keslie into the room.

"Thank you." She said to him, almost absently, as she walked into the room, extending her hand. "Mr Mcmahon, how nice to meet you."

The man was younger than Da-li, but probably a little older than her Father, his handshake was firm and sure, and he gave her a warm smile. "It's Vince, and may I call Keslie, Miss Tranmer seems like such a mouthful?" She could not help her smile at his question, she would bet he had been a charmer in his youth, he was trying now, and she decided she liked him.

"That would be fine Vince, Da-li." She saw the puzzlement at the name, cross his face. "Sorry my Grandfather, offers you his apologies, for being unable to attend the meeting with you today, he unfortunately had an appointment with his doctor, that he had to attend."

Vince nodded, and drew her into the room, offering her a chair. "I understand that perfectly, age catches up with all of us, please sit down." Keslie took the seat, smoothed her skirt down, and placed her purse on her lap.

The discussion she had with Vince, was lively, and she had to admit the man had a sense of humour, and a shrewd business mind, which she was happy to negotiate with. By the time the meeting was over, they had reached an agreement, and she was happy for him to arrange contracts, for Da-li's approval and signature. Once business was concluded, he offered her a back stage tour, so that she could get a look at some of the men and women, who would be wearing and promoting some of the sportswear, her Da-li's company manufactured. Some would just wear run of the mill products, others would have their own special designs, she was actually looking forward, to meeting some of them.

Vince quickly handed her off to his daughter Stephanie, who was obviously a few years older than her, along with her husband Hunter. Keslie decided quickly, that she liked the pair; they both had a good sense of humour, and seemed to be respected backstage. Both were obviously like Vince was, in very good shape, and she was grateful for her own sessions in the gym, at least she was in reasonable shape. Chatting to them both, she found that Hunter had at one time been a wrestler, and won the titles many times. She was shocked to find that Vince had wrestled in the past, as had Stephanie, and that her brother Shane still wrestled from time to time, as did Hunter.

It was strange she reflected, as they showed her around, and introduced her to some people, that she had a more intimate connection to their company, than just the fact that they would be working with Da-li's company. Her first serious boyfriend, no scratch that, her first boyfriend, had been connected to the wrestling industry, a lot of his family had been wrestlers, and he once told her, that the WWE was what put food on their table. She did not want to think about him though; after all it was not likely he was going to be involved here, his dream had been to play professional football. Even though he had stomped on her heart, after he had ripped if from her chest, and hurt her more than she had ever thought anyone could, she did not dwell on thoughts of him. They had been wandering for about ten minutes, and she had spoken to a few people who, were obviously wrestlers, when someone came running up.

"Sorry, sorry, we have a problem." The man had some papers in his hand; and a worried look on his face.

"Keslie, I'm really sorry about this, unfortunately last minute dramas do happen." Stephanie did sound really apologetic, and Keslie thought the tour had probably ended, however Stephanie was looking around, and spotted a blond haired man, carrying a book and an MP3 player in one hand, while he held a bag in the other. "Dean." He stopped when he heard his name, and looked over at the boss, then walked over to them. "Dean this is Keslie, she and her Grandfather are going to be working with the company, could you do me a really big favour, and show her around a bit?" He wasn't stupid enough to think he was being asked, the woman was just telling him, what he was going to be doing.

Plastering a friendly smile on his face, he looked at Keslie, at least she was easy on the eye, about five foot six nice figure, he thought she probably worked out, not on a par with them, but not lazy about it either. Her brown hair was pulled back in a tail, and had a slight curl to it, she had striking green eyes, and a friendly open smile. "Sure Stephanie I can do that, hello Miss." He waited for someone to supply him with a name; in case she didn't want him calling her Keslie, some of these corporate types, could be touchy about things like that.

"It's Keslie." She told him, holding out her hand, with a genuine smile on her face.

Stephanie gave him a grateful smile, and took Hunters arm, before talking to the other woman. "Well I'll leave you in Dean's capable hands, anything you want, don't hesitate to ask, enjoy the tour, and we'll see you later." Then just like that, they were gone, leaving her alone with the man she had just met. Still Keslie had come a long way, from the girl she had once been.

"Well let's show you round." Dean gave her a smile, full of dimples and boyish good looks, and she would be willing to bet, most times he only had to flash that smile and crook his finger, for the women to come running to him.

She soon found that he had a good sense of humour, and a way of looking at things; which was slightly different from what she was used to, but she found herself liking him. He took her places, which she thought would probably not have been on the tour, Stephanie and Hunter would have given her, like the men's locker room, where he has ushered her in, without bothering to check if everyone was decent, she had gotten to see more of a strange man, than she would ever have wanted to. She was pretty sure, she was much more embarrassed than the guy, John, Dean called him was.

Then he took her out to see the ring, and it was then that she got to see his passion, as he talked about performing in front of the crowed of thousands, that would soon be sitting in those seats.

He was busy telling her, that he was part of a stable called the Shield, and telling her what they, did bouncing around in the ring, showing her how the surface bounced under his feet, and even offering to show her some moves, if she got in there with him. She declined to get in the ring with him, not telling him, that she had been in a backyard ring, when she was younger, though she thought this one was bigger, than that one had been.

Finally he took her backstage again, and that's when she ran into someone she never expected to see, even though she knew his Dad had been training him to wrestle, since he was a child, him and his twin brother. Evidently he didn't expect to see her, anymore than she did him, because he paused for a moment, looking her up and down, almost as if he didn't recognise her for a second, but knew he knew her from somewhere.

Then she saw the wheels turning, and knew he recognised her, he opened his mouth, a sneer on his face. "Well, well, if it isn't the heart breaking little slut." And just like that, the past reared its unwelcome head.

She stared at him, wishing the ground would open up and swallow her whole, she'd never known what she had done, to be treated the way she was. One day, everything had been wonderful in her world; she had loved and thought she was loved, by a wonderful boy. The next he wouldn't speak to her, in fact he ignored her, and she had no idea, what she was supposed to have done, to make him act that way, or for his family, to call her the names they did. All she could think back then, was that she had made the mistake of sleeping with him. A couple of months later, she had known, it was a mistake she was going to pay for, for a very long time. After all this time though, surely Jimmy wouldn't call her a slut because she slept with his cousin, there had to be more to it than that.

Dean was looking between the two of them, as if he was wondering what was going on, and why Jimmy was calling Keslie a slut, she sure did not come across as one, she seemed friendly if a little reserved, not someone he would mark down as a slut, and he knew sluts.

"Hello Jimmy." Keslie said looking at the man, and trying to keep her voice even, seeing him, brought so many memories flooding back to her.

"Don't use my name bitch, I'll never forgive you for what you did, and neither will he, stay away from him, and stay away from us." He looked at Dean. "She's trouble, stay away from her, if you know what's good for you." With that he walked away.

"Are you oaky?" Dean was looking a little concerned, he had no idea what all that was about, but it seemed like Jimmy Uso knew this woman, and didn't think much of her.

"Yes just the past rearing its ugly head, I used to date his cousin, I made the mistake of sleeping with the guy, and he dropped me so fast it made my head spin, he wouldn't talk to me after, and before I knew it, I was the school slut and whore." Keslie did not realise that she was crying, till Dean wiped a tear from her cheek, with a warm finger. It sounded off to him, though he had no doubt that she was telling the truth. In fact he was considering asking her out after the show, that was until a little voice called.

"Mommy." A little boy with an older woman holding his hand, was straining to get to Keslie.

With a smile, she crouched down and held her arms out, while Dean took a mental step back, as Keslie wrapped her arms around, the only other male in her life, apart from Da-li, her precious son. "Hey baby." She kissed the top of his head, and looked up at the woman. "Thank you Nanny Tessa, I've got him from here. Her little boy hugged her back, and began chattering to her, while Nanny Tessa looked disapproving, but did not say anything .

"Robert this is Mr." She looked at Dean, realising that she had no idea of his surname.

"It's okay, he can call me Dean." He reached forward and ruffled the boy's hair in a friendly manner, he saw the disapproving look on the Nanny's face, and he didn't care.

"I know who you are, you're Dean Ambrose one of the shield." Dean smiled, obviously little man was a fan.

"Yeah I am." Now Dean was getting a good look at the boy, he could not help but think, there was something familiar about him, he just wasn't sure what it was. "How would you like to join me and your Momma, for a tour around the place?" Just because he wasn't going to ask the woman out, now he knew about the boy, didn't mean he couldn't show them around, and be nice to them.

The look on the little boys face held a hint of familiarity, and for a moment he was almost able to put his finger on it, but then it flittered away again, as elusive, as a half remembered memory.

"Oh Keslie, there you are." Stephanie was walking over again, with a smile on her face. "I hope Dean was a good guide for you?" She eyed the blond suspiciously, and then she caught sight of Robert. "Why hello there, and who is this little man?"

Keslie smiled, as Robert tried to hide behind her legs, looking up at Stephanie, with wide scared eyes. Dean had to smile, the little boy was too young to know it was all a big act, and his boss could actually be quite nice. He scooped Robert up in his arms, making the little boy squeak in alarm.

"This is Mrs Helmsley little man, and she's nothing like you see on TV, well most of the time she isn't." Dean reassured the little boy, while Nanny Tessa glared at him. "Stephanie this is Robert."

Keslie smiled at the way Dean had taken over, and was reassuring her son, thought by the way the Nanny was glaring at him, she obviously thought it was totally inappropriate. Her Da-li had hired the woman, and she and Keslie never saw eye to eye, she was good at her job though, just too domineering and self opinionated, for Keslie's liking, maybe in some ways, she reminded her of her parents.

Stephanie was smiling at the shy little boy in Dean's arms. "Well its really nice to meet you Robert, how would you like something to eat, and maybe we can get Dean, and some of the other wrestlers to sign some stuff for you to take home, how would that be?"

"What do you say Robert?" Nanny Tessa prompted him, and Keslie frowned, her son was clearly overwhelmed right now, he was only six years old after all, and while she wanted him to have good manners, she also felt there were times, when he needed a little leeway, and this was clearly one of them.

Robert looked at his Mommy, he knew he was safe if she was there, his Mommy was the bravest, best Mommy in the whole wide world; even if Nanny Tessa said bad things about her sometimes, he knew they weren't true. "Thank you Miss Sepanie." He said, struggling with the big name.

"It's Mrs Helmsley," Nanny Tessa corrected him at once, a frown on her face.

"Thank you Nanny Tessa." Keslie got out, not at all happy with the woman, right now.

While Stephanie, just smiled at the little boy reassuringly. "That's okay; he can call me Stephanie if he wants to." Nanny Tessa was now glowering at all the adults, as well as the little boy, who shrank back against Dean under her gaze, something that was not missed by Keslie, she had been having her doubts, about the other woman for a while now, and seeing her son's reaction, she thought she would be having a chat with Da-li, about letting the woman go, and finding someone else.

Stephanie was sensitive to the atmosphere, and smiled obviously the Nanny was overstepping her boundaries, and Keslie was not happy. "Dean if it's okay with Keslie, why don't you take Robert to catering, and get him a snack and drink."

"I better go too Robert has a." Nanny Tessa cut in.

Keslie ignored the Nanny and looked at Robert, he was pressing into Dean's body; obviously the woman had upset him in some way. "If Robert would like to, and if it's all right with Dean, I'm sure that would be fine, after all what's going to happen to him with one of his favourite people?" She spoke over the nanny, and looked over at Stephanie, who gave her a slightly encouraging smile.

"Well if Mr Dean would like to lead the way." Nanny Tessa stepped forward, looking at Robert in the man's arms, with a hint of distaste. "Robert you are quite capable of walking, time to get down." She held her hand out to him. "Come along now."

"Little man's fine where he is." Dean giggled Robert in his arms, making him laugh. "Unless he wants a piggy back, or to ride on my shoulders that is?" He looked at the now excited little boy.

"I really think." The Nanny began, looking to assert her authority.

"That will be enough thank you Nanny Tessa." Keslie said firmly, looking at the other woman. "Robert will be fine with Dean I am sure, and a little break from his normal diet, will not do him any harm, a little treat every now and then after all, is something we all enjoy."

Robert turned a beaming smile on his Mommy, as Dean swung him up onto his shoulders, giggling in delight, at the height he had now achieved. "Have fun baby." Keslie said, looking fondly at her son, and then at Dean. "He doesn't have any allergies, so he can have pretty much anything he wants." She smiled at the man, who was acting like a big kid himself, jumping up and down, making Robert's hair fly around his head, as he laughed happily." For a moment Keslie felt a little sad, Robert had never known his Father, and never would, the man didn't even know he existed, probably wouldn't be interested if he did, how could she have got it so wrong back then? Yes, he had Da-li, but he was a much older man, and his health was not the best, he could never play with her son like this.

"I really think I should go, your Grandfather trusts me to take care of Robert." Nanny Tessa was still trying to stamp her authority on things, and remind Keslie who employed her.

"Well that can change." Keslie snapped; her patience with the woman worn out. "My Grandfather may have engaged you to care for my son, while I am working, but I am his Mother, I can make decisions regarding his welfare, and his happiness, and right now he is happy." She glared at the woman. "You can talk to my Grandfather if you wish, but I have to tell you, I am seriously considering, that your services are no longer required."

The other woman stared at her for a moment, before opening her mouth again, and what spewed out, had Keslie glad, that she had said what she had. "You you're not fit to call yourself a Mother, you're nothing but a worthless slut, where is that little boys Daddy? He's nothing more than a bastard, let me tell you, without a firm hand, and rules that he must obey, he will be nothing more that some little delinquent, begetting more of his own kind. Look at you bringing a child into the world with no husband in sight." The woman sounded oddly like Keslie's parents, and she didn't need to hear any more.

"That is quite enough." Keslie held up her hand. "For your information, I loved Roberts Father very much; it is neither my fault, nor my son's, that he was taken from us too soon." She knew most people would think that meant he had died, she wished that were true, instead of what had really happened. She could still remember how he had ignored her, just days after she had given him her virginity, she thought theirs was a forever love, instead everyone pointed their fingers at her, called her a slut, and a whore, and he wouldn't even look at her, let alone talk to her. "If I find you have been saying things like that to my son, I promise you, it will not go well for you." She glared at the other woman, who actually took a step back, Keslie would give her life for her son, without thinking about it, she loved her son fiercely and completely, he was the one good thing; that had come out of her sorrow and fear.

"Way to go Momma bear." Dean's voice reminded her, that other people were there, and it was not just her and the Nanny. "I'll take good care of little man here, and that witch won't be getting near him."

Keslie could have hugged Dean, he was calling the older woman, what she was thinking she was, had her Da-li known what the woman was like, her heart and mind both screamed no, Da-li would never hurt her or Robert. She heard Nanny Tessa sniff, and knew there was more to come. "I shall phone your Grandfather, and tell him that the behaviour of you, and the child is intolerable, I will expect a full apology, and less input from you, in the way the child is raised, you are clearly unfit to be a parent." The woman glared at Keslie, with obvious dislike.

"And I will be sure to call Mr Tranmer, to tell him just what kind of person is in his employ, I wouldn't let you take care of my dog, never mind my children." Stephanie gave Keslie's arm a comforting squeeze.

Dean decided it was high time to get Robert out of here, he could feel the little boy shaking on his shoulders obviously upset by what was going on. "Little man and I will be off, anyone can tell you where catering is Keslie." He bounced off, with Robert clinging to his head. "So little man, who do you want to meet, you tell me and we'll find them."

Keslie did not hear what her son said, as the pair turned the corner, getting lost in the sea of people, who were milling around. The fact that no one was paying much attention to them, told Keslie that drama back here, was common place.

"You can consider this my resignation, good luck finding someone to look after that little hell spawned brat." Hearing the vitriol as she turned and walked away, Keslie wondered, how she had never seen how nasty the other woman had been? It was just as well she was out of their lives, no matter how much of a problem, not having a Nanny for a while would be.

"Don't worry." Stephanie put a hand on Keslie's arm. "I know just the person to help you out, I have a friend who's a nanny, and she's looking for a position, my girls love her, and she's really good with them, I could give her a call?" Stephanie was smiling at her. "Come on, let's get out of here and go make that call." Keslie could not help answering the other woman's smile, with one of her own. "You're little boys Dad is dead?" Stephanie didn't want to pry, but she was curious.

She could tell that Stephanie felt sorry for her, and so she told the lie she always told, the lie she had almost convinced herself was true, in a way it was, the man she thought she knew had died, destroyed by the man he had turned out to be. "He died before I even knew I was pregnant, my parents weren't happy, but my Da-li took me in, and looked after us both. My parents were kind of religious nuts, and they would never have let me keep Robert, they kicked me out as soon as they knew I was going to have a baby, they expected me to get an abortion, and come back, having repented of my sins." She could see the look of shock on the other woman's face, as she talked. "I would never have gotten rid of my baby, he's all that I have left of my lost love, I would have begged, done whatever I had to, to make sure we both lived. My Father fell out with Da-li, when he was much younger, way before I was born, I had a name and address, and luckily he was still there, I didn't know much about him, or that he had such a successful business, I just knew he was family and that maybe he might help me. He took me in, cared for me and when Robert was born, he showered him with love, me too, he made me his heir, and he gave my Father a piece of his mind, he wants me to learn the business, so I can run it when he's gone." She trailed off, they had been walking as she spoke, and she realised they were back at the office, Stephanie opened the door and waved her in.

"Take a seat." She said with a smile, as she picked up the phone. "And I'll make that call."

Keslie settled herself on a chair, and looked around her, it was hard to believe this was all so temporary; it looked as if it had been here for a long time.

Dean carried Robert to catering on his shoulders, once they were away from the witch and his Mother , the little boy turned out to be quite the chatter box, his Da-li, Dean translated that as grandfather, let him watch wrestling, and the little boy loved it. Dean found out he was a fan of the Shield, he pretended to be hurt that Roman was the little boy favourite, and the little boy was quick to reassure the man, that he liked him and Seth too. They talked about some of the matches the three men had, had. Robert loved to see the triple power bomb, and Dean mentally made a note, to see if they could give Robert one of his own, very gently and carefully of course, Roman wouldn't let them do it any other way. The man was made to be a Father, it was such a pity he never seemed to have any luck with his relationships, they would seem to be going fine; then he would take them home to meet his family, and it would all go sour. He didn't think Roman's family were the problem, and there was nothing wrong with Roman himself. Whatever it was though, as much as he longed for something more than just a girlfriend; that was all he seemed to get though, for a few months at best.

Carrying the little boy over to the food, Dean set him down and helped him fix a plate, at first he was very restrained, but with a little encouragement, he soon pilled on some sugary snacks, Dean hid a mischievous grin, he wasn't the one, who would have to deal with the sugar high. He grabbed a few things for himself, and took a still excitedly chattering Robert, to a table. They had not been sitting there long, when the little boy suddenly went quiet, staring over Dean's shoulder. Turning in his seat, the man smiled, seeing Roman and Seth, walking in the door.

"Hey guys, got someone here who wants to meet you." He called over to them, winking at a now every excited Robert. "Want to meet Roman little man?" The boy was practically bouncing in his seat with excitement, and Dean wished he could put his finger on what was so familiar about him.

"Ambrose, someone let you watch their kid?" Seth was grinning as he sat down. "Hey there champ, do you know who I am?"

Robert had forgotten all about the snacks Dean had loaded him up with, and was looking from Seth to Dean in delight. "You're Seth Rollins, you're in the Shield; you guys are my favourites." The little boy was looking around eagerly.

"Roman'll be here in a minute little man." Dean reassured him. "Sorry Seth as much as it hurts me to say this, Roman's his favourite."

"I'm who's favourite?" Roman sat down on a spare chair, and looked at the little boy, gazing at him, with wide adoring eyes. "Dean, did you give him all that sugary stuff, his parents are going to kill you?" He looked at the little boy. "Hi there I'm Roman Reigns, does your Daddy let you eat so many sugary snacks little guy?"

"I know who you are." Robert sounded shy, almost awed, then he sounded sad. "I don't have a Daddy, but I have my Mommy, and she's the best Mommy in the whole wide world, and we have Da-li, he looks after us both."

Roman felt a strange pang for this little boy, and wondered who or what a Da-li was? He offered the little boy some fruit, as opposed to the sugary snacks, the little boy took it from him, with a quiet. "Thank you Roman." Dean wondered if the little boy took the fruit because he liked it, or because it was Roman who had given it to him. He nibbled on it, as he looked as his favourite wrestler, so close to him, that he could reach out and touch him.

"So how come his Mom trusted you with the little man?" Seth asked, looking at Dean.

Dean looked at Robert; the little boy was totally absorbed in gazing at Roman, and not paying attention to the conversation between the two men. "Bit of trouble with the Nanny, god what a bitch, real nasty piece of work that one, good riddance to her, that's what I say. Stephanie's trying to fix her up with someone she knows now. His mom's a real looker, if it wasn't for little man, I would have asked her out, but kids and me, not a good idea." Dean broke off. "I think the nanny was a real bitch to little man though, he doesn't deserve that, and what she said to his Momma, well if I had been her, I would have smacked the bitch."

Roman looked at the little boy, who was looking at him with such adoration on his face, for a moment, he wondered what it would be like, to have a little boy of his own, looking at him like that. He carefully removed most of the sugary snacks, replacing them with some of the more healthy ones, from his own plate. The little boy ate them slowly, looking at Roman while he did. "You didn't tell me your name yet?" Roman smiled at the little boy.

"I'm Robert." The little boy told him, there was something about him, Roman thought as he looked up at him, something that made him want to wrap his arms around him, and keep him safe from anything that might want to hurt him.

"Hey Reigns." Chris Jericho walked up to the table, a smile on his face as he looked down at Robert. "Didn't know you had a kid, what's his name, he looks a lot like you, how come you never showed us any pictures of him, or told us about him?" The blond fired of several questions, to the shocked man.

"He's not mine." Roman was shocked that Chris would think Robert was his. "Dean's looking after him for his Mom, Robert this is Chris Jericho, Chris this is Robert."

Dean had heard what Chris said, and looked over at Roman and Robert sitting there side by side, it was crazy, but now that Chris had pointed it out, he knew exactly who Robert reminded him of, the two looked exactly like Father and son. Hadn't Keslie said Roberts Father died before he knew about the baby? It must be one of those weird coincidences; that you got now and again. Chris was smiling and being Chris, he pulled a shirt out of his bag, and signed it for Robert, before apologising for the misunderstanding, and going on his way.

"Well little man, we can't let you just have a Jericho top, we'll have to get you some Shield merchandise and autographs, what do you say?" Dean asked, looking at his two friends.

"Of course." Seth agreed, "And some photos, got to get some pictures of the day, right champ, Dean you got your belt there, little man needs to have pictures with the belts." Seth set about getting them organised, but it was Roman, who picked the little boy up, and set him on his shoulders as they headed out of catering. "Maybe we should set him up with the baby mama, I think he's smitten with the kid?" Seth suggested, as they began to load Robert up with souvenirs.

"Nice thought." Dean replied, as they watched Roman and Robert, the two of them seemed to have really clicked, he really did hope that Keslie and Roman hit it off too, the big dog didn't seem to have much luck in his love life, maybe he would be luckier with Keslie and Robert?

They made their way down to the ring eventually, Roman carrying the little boy, while Seth and Dean carried all the things they had managed to acquire for him. Pilling everything up on the table, Seth and Dean joined Roman and Robert in the ring, where they proceeded to give Robert, much to the little boys delight, a very controlled and gentle, triple power bomb. Roman holding the little boy high above his head, before bringing him gently down to the mat, while Seth and Dean pretended to hold him steady, as they completed the move.

Stephanie and Keslie had come to find her son, and been told by some of the people in catering that he was with the Shield, Keslie had no idea what, or maybe who that might be, but she felt she had left her son with Dean, for long enough. Stephanie had called her friend, and they had talked for a little while, the other woman had seemed perfect, and Keslie had been happy to offer her a trial period of a month, starting whenever the other woman wanted. Of course she had to tell Da-li that she had fired, Nanny Tessa, or rather that the woman had quit, but she was sure, once he knew what was going on, he would agree with her and hire the new nanny. She knew Nanny Tessa could not lie about what had happened, as she had plenty of witnesses to what had gone on.

She and Stephanie finally found out, that Dean had taken her son down to the ring, and they made their way there, in time to see the triple power bomb. Keslie's heart was in her mouth, as she saw her little boy so high up in the air. Stephanie's hand on her arm, was all that stopped her running down to the ring, and stopping whatever was going on.

"Keslie, it's okay, they would never hurt him, they're just letting him have a little bit of fun." The woman who she could see becoming a good friend, reassured her.

She watched her hand over her mouth, as the three men in the ring, gently lowered the most important person in her life, the little boy who was her whole world, to the ring with hardly a bump. Then as they lifted him up once more, she was looking at someone; she had thought she would never see again. She felt sick seeing her little boy with him, she couldn't let this happen, but she couldn't face him either, not when a part of her still loved him, in spite of everything that had happened. She knew they said you never forgot your first love, and he was certainly that, in fact there had never been anyone since. He really was the only love of her life, apart from her son, and her Da-li.

"Stephanie, I don't feel so good, could you get Robert for me, I need the restroom." She couldn't face him, not even to get her precious son.

Stephanie looked at the other woman, she really did look ill; she was very pale and sweating. "Sure head in the back, up the corridor, and it's the third door on the right."

She watched as Keslie turned, and almost ran behind the curtain, poor woman she thought, such a shame to get sick like that, she had been going to offer the pair of them ringside seats for the show, however with the way that Keslie looked, that wasn't going to be such a good idea. Walking down to the ring, she could not help but smile, at the way Robert was jumping around, as Roman allowed Dean to show Robert, how to put him in a submission hold. As she got closer though, she could see how tired Robert looked.

"Hey there sweetie, your Momma's not feeling too well." She did not miss the look of fear on the boys face, and realised that these two were each other's worlds. "Bit of an upset stomach, nothing to worry about, but she asked me to get you; did you have fun with Dean, Seth and Roman?" The look on her face, told the three men, they better have looked after him well.

"Little man's the new member of the Shield." Roman said with a smile, as he held out his fist, it was joined by Seth's and Dean's. "Well come on little man, you gotta fist bump with us, can't be the fourth member of the Shield, and not fist bump with us in the ring."

Roberts little fist joined theirs, as his face lit up with a huge smile, and then he tried to hide his yawn. Dean thought it was a shame, as Stephanie took the little boys hand and led him away, Robert looking back at Roman with that hero worship on his face, that Keslie was not feeling well, he wanted to introduce the two of them, something told him, they would get along each other very well, in fact he thought they could well be perfect for each other.

Roman stood watching Stephanie leading the little boy away; he felt a strange connection to the child, as if he were something more, than just a random kid that had been backstage. Then he felt his phone ring, and pulled it out, a smile on his face as he saw the name of his best friend since they were in dippers, on the screen.

"Hey Stewart, where are you man?" He asked not seeing the look that passed between Seth and Dean, as he began to talk to his first friend, laughing as they made arrangements to meet up later on.
