***Bear with me, I haven't written a fan-fic in years. I am not following the Raw and Smackdown and ECW rosters. Sophie lives in Minnesota.

And I do NOT own any of the WWE wrestlers listed. Don't sue me! Thanks!***

Sophie looked out the office window and sighed. She was stuck at work on her birthday yet again. She never did anything fancy for her birthdays anymore. Her co-workers would tell her they would throw her a happy hour but she always declined. She didn't have time to go out and drink. She had a busy schedule to keep.

On the days that she didn't work a second job, she had her son's t-ball games or karate classes. That's what her life had been all about. She did everything to give that little boy the moon.

Sophie was day-dreaming when her phone rang. She looked at the caller id and seen it was her mother. She picked up the phone, "Yes mom."

Her mom smiled on the other end of the phone, "Happy Birthday Soph! Are you going to go out and do anything fun tonight? Like maybe go out with your girlfriends?"

Sophie shook her head, "No mom. I have a date with a cute boy tonight. He promised me he'd make dinner but I told him I'd take care of it. I actually don't have to go into the other job tonight so it's just going to be us tonight."

"Yes Sophie, but that cute boy could have his Grandma watch him and you could go out for awhile." Her mom replied. "Maybe you and Andrea could go out. Maybe meet someone new."

Sophie sighed, "Thanks but no thanks mom. Andrea is going to come over with a bottle of wine and after little man goes to bed, we're going to drink a glass or two and watch a movie."

Her mom sighed, "Sophie, I'm worried about you. I wish you had a man of your own to help you out."

Sophie felt a little defeated, it was a touchy subject for her. "Thank mom. Guess what, I gave up depending on a man after Mark walked out. From that point on, I vowed the only guy getting that close to my heart was Hunter. And it's going to stay that way." She replied in a defensive tone.

"But Sophie, don't you think Hunter would like having a daddy around?" Her mom asked gently.

"I'm sure he would, but even if I met a guy, that doesn't mean he'd get to meet Hunter. The last thing I would need is not only my heart to be broken but his too. He's too little to have to deal with that. Mark walked out when Hunter was young enough to not remember. I'm done with this conversation. And I'm at work so I have to go anyways. I'll talk to you later." Sophie replied noticing there were calls waiting for her.

"Ok Soph, you win. I hope you have a happy birthday and don't forget, love you and I'll see you guys at your birthday dinner tomorrow night." Her mom replied.

Sophie smiled, she knew her mom meant well, but she just didn't understand. Sophie had been young when she got pregnant, and her mom and dad had told her that Mark was no good but she wouldn't listen. They moved out and got their own place and the day Hunter turned 2 months old, Sophie took him out to buy a new rattle and when she came home with him Mark was gone. All he had done was left a note saying how sorry he was but he wasn't ready for this. And all he left behind was a signed released of parental rights form. Sophie was crushed, but she picked herself up and from that point on she worked her butt off to provide for her and her son.

Sophie finished out her work day and got into her car. She put on the radio and headed for the freeway to go home to relieve the babysitter and order some dinner for her and her son.

As Sophie pulled onto the freeway, she groaned. Between the construction and the traffic from whatever event was going on in St Paul, traffic was horrible! She ran her hands through her hair and called her best friend Andrea.

"Hey birthday girl!" Andrea answered excitedly. "Are you ready for me to come over now?"

"Well, kind of. I'm stuck in traffic, and it doesn't look like it's going to be getting any better. Can you please head over to my house, and let the babysitter go? She has class tonight." Sophie replied sounding stressed.

"No problem! I'm on my way over. Hunter and I will chill till you get home." Andrea replied.

"Thanks, I owe you. I'm ordering Chinese for birthday dinner, so you're totally in on it with us!" Sophie replied sounding relieved. "Thanks again. I'll see you in a bit."

Andrea laughed, "See ya!"

Sophie sat there and sat there. Finally she was able to travel a bit faster. Speed limit was 55 and they were actually up to 40 so it wasn't too bad. There was a construction truck ahead of her that hit a bump and stuff flew out of the back and suddenly Sophie ran over whatever flew out and it popped her tire. Sophie grabbed the wheel as her car jerked sharply to the right. If she didn't act fast, she would hit the guard rail. She tried to balance it out and just narrowly missed it.

Sophie laid her head on the steering wheel and began to sob. She was so shaken up. What if she would have hit it? What if she would have gotten seriously hurt? As Sophie cried, she almost didn't hear the knocking on the driver's side window.

The knocking startled her. She expected it to be the construction truck driver so she lifted her head quickly trying not to look too girly about the situation. When she turned, she saw a very handsome tan guy in a tank top and sunglasses. She quickly wiped her eyes and rolled down her window. "Um, hi." She stammered.

"I was behind you, I wanted to make sure that you were ok." The man replied.

"Oh, um…yes. Yes, thanks, I'm ok. Just a bit shaken up." Sophie tried to get out. But she was still shaking so it sounded a bit broken up.

"Do you need some help with your tire? I can change it to the spare if you like." He replied glancing at his watch.

"Oh, I couldn't ask you to do that." Sophie replied. "I'll just call somebody to come out…"

"Don't be silly. I'm right here. Let me help you. He reached his hand in through the window to hers. "I'm Randy."

Sophie couldn't get over how big his hands were. She smiled and looked up at him as she shook his hand. "I'm Sophie. And if you're sure I'm not going to make you late for anything, then that would be great. Let me get out of the car and I'll show you where everything is." She couldn't get over how handsome he was! He was tall, dark and handsome. And he had a great smirk!

Randy smiled as he opened her car door. She was very pretty. She had on sunglasses, but she had a great smile. She was a shorter girl, she must have been barely 5'1 and she had light brown wavy hair. As she stepped out, he noticed that she had on a light pink shirt w/a light pink and purple skirt. She had on silver, strappy sandals. "You look very nice today." He said with a smile.

She smiled, "Thanks. It's my birthday today. So I tried to be somewhat cute at work today." She walked him to the trunk of her car.

As they walked he grabbed a glance of the interior of her car. She had a cd holder on her front seat, she had a charm bracelet around her rearview mirror and there was a blue camouflage booster seat in her backseat. Normally any signs of kids had Randy heading for the hills, but not this time for some reason.

She opened her trunk and showed him where the jack and the spare were. "I really appreciate you doing this for me."

He smiled, "No problem birthday girl. So do you have big plans for tonight?"

She bit her bottom lip and shook her head. "Nope, no big plans, I'm going to go home and change into something comfortable and order Chinese food to be delivered and watch movies."

"With your son?" Randy asked cautiously as he began to change the tire.

Sophie blushed deeply, "For awhile. Then he is going to go to bed and my best friend and I are going to have a glass of wine or two and watch a girlie movie."

"So do you live around here?" Randy asked as he took off the now flat tire and began to replace it with the spare.

"Kind of. I live on the border of the city and the suburbs." She replied with a laugh. "But I'm hoping to move to a better area soon."

Randy nodded, "Very cool. How old is your little boy?"

Sophie smiled, "He's 6. He'll be 7 in a week."

Randy didn't know what was coming over him, but he felt like he wanted to get to know her better. There was just something about her. He smiled to himself, he had the perfect idea. "What if I change your birthday plans?" He said standing up.

Sophie laughed, "That's very kind of you to offer, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline."

"But I haven't even told you my plans yet." Randy said to her. He gave her another smirk. "Don't worry, I promise you'll have a good time."

She smirked and took a deep breath. She knew that he was hot. He seemed very nice. She bit her bottom lip for a moment and looked up at him, "Randy, I really appreciate the offer. But, I just can't. I don't get a lot of time with my son and he'd be devastated if I didn't spend my birthday with him."

"Who said you couldn't bring him with?" Randy replied confidently. "I just so happen to have some tickets for the WWE event at the Xcel Energy Center tonight, and what 6 yr old boy wouldn't like that? I could take you guys there, and then after the show is over, we could go back to your place, tuck him in and watch some of the movies you talked about."

Sophie blushed. She wasn't quite sure what the WWE was. "Can I ask a silly question?"

"Of course." Randy replied.

"What exactly is the WWE?"

Randy let out a chuckle. "It's World Wrestling Entertainment. It's on tv." Randy was relieved that she didn't know he was a wrestler. It would make tonight that much more entertaining.

"I don't know," Sophie replied. "I don't know if Hunter's ever seen it. And my best friend is at home with him right now."

Randy smiled. He had to get to know her. He didn't know why, but he just did. "I promise, it won't be too graphic and he'll have a good time. And your friend can join us if she'd like."

Sophie smiled, part of her felt like she should thank him and run home. But, there was something about her that wanted to take him up on his offer. She walked a few steps away from him into the grass away from the cars and called Andrea.

"The natives are restless, are you almost home?" Andrea answered with a laugh.

"Well, kind of. I blew a tire on the way home, but this guy stopped and changed it for me." Sophie replied.

"Stop right there, did you just say a guy stopped? Is he hot? Single?" Andrea began demanding details.

"Slow down. Yes he's hot, and there's no ring. But, he's asking to change my plans for tonight. He wants to take Hunter and I to the WWE show tonight and then come back to my place for a movie." Sophie replied. "What if he's just trying to get some? I can't expose Hunter to that."

Andrea interrupted her, "A nice, hot guy wants to take you and your son out tonight. Then watch a movie. Yes it's possible he might want you in the sack, but maybe he's just a nice guy? Girl, you haven't been on a date in 5 years. Take him up on the offer! What's it going to hurt?"

"Andrea, it's not that simple. And it's been 6 years. I can't count getting stood up on a blind date as a date. I said that I wasn't going to go on dates, I was going to focus on raising Hunter, but I don't know. There's something about this guy. And he said you could come too."

"No way. You go back to him and say yes I'll take you up on the offer, rush home, change, update your make up and your hair. I'll get Hunter ready and the two of you should go! Have fun. If it never goes farther, oh well." Andrea replied. "And I'm SO not going. I want you to do this!"

Sophie replied with a sigh, "Ok, fine. I'll be home soon. Throw Hunter in the shower."

"Got it!" Andrea said hanging up.

Sophie walked back over to Randy and smiled, "Ok, I will take you up on your offer. But my friend has declined, so if you're up for just me and Hunter, then we would love to join you. "

Randy smiled, "That's great. How about I follow you home, and we can all ride in my vehicle. Just for convenience sakes. Your spare shouldn't be driven on more than necessary."

Sophie smiled, "That sounds good. As long as you're sure you don't mind. And I haven't been home all day, so if the house is a mess, you can't judge me. Deal?"

Randy laughed, "I'm sure, and don't worry, no judgment."

They both got into their vehicles and slowly headed to Sophie's place. Sophie called Andrea and told her to pick up as much as she could because they were headed there. Sophie said a silent prayer and pulled into her driveway.
