Here are a series of one-shots I've written over the past few years of my favorite wrestlers and Original Characters I've created. Most of them have the wrestlers out of character or AU. Please read and review and please enjoy and Happy Reading.

I do not own any wrestlers nor do I own any WWE entertainment.

It had been 10 years since she'd left the fan base of the World Wrestling Federation and Vince McMahon had changed the name to World Wrestling Entertainment. Genny Ryan hadn't watch it on television or gone to any shows. She'd sworn it off ever since that day four years ago when her dreams were shattered.

Flashback:

"Listen babe, I'm heading places. I have my career to think about. I don't need some young groupie weighing me down. Hunter and I have things to do in the World Wrestling Federation and I'm sorry but you're not included. So I guess what I'm saying, it's been nice."

Genny stood there staring at Shawn Michaels, the Showstopper, the Heartbreak Kid, and the tears began to role down her face. "But, I don't understand, last night…."

Last night she'd given herself to him. Her innocence, her virginity. He'd said he loved her.

"Come on doll, you knew what you were doing. I've just got better things to do than baby sit a clingy virgin groupie."

"I guess now I know why they call him the Heart Break Kid." Genny laid back against the pillows of her hospital bed and sighed. He'd broken her heart alright as well as gotten her pregnant.

The long and short of the story was now she was dying. Her parents were too old to take care of her 9 year old son Matthew. Her disease had gotten worse over the past 4 years and now she was on permanent bed rest at an esteemed hospital in Houston. She couldn't take care of her child and now he had to live in a foster home. She knew there was only one thing she could do. Shawn had gone through his finding God thing a few years ago.

He needed to know about his son. He needed to know. So she sat back and began to write him a letter. She had no idea if he still lived in the same place in San Antonio but she could try.

Dear Shawn,

It's been awhile since I've heard or seen you. You may not even remember me. My name is Genny Ryan and 10 years ago you dated me for about six months, told me you loved me and took my virginity. What I've failed to tell you for the past 10 years is that you got me pregnant as well. You have a nine year old son named Matthew.

I know I should have told you about this but at the time I was still in pain from being called a clingy virgin groupie. Those were your exact words.



Why tell you now, you are asking I'm sure. I'm at Glenmoore Hospital in Houston. You can call my doctors and confirm this. I'm dying of leukemia. They've tested Matthew and he's negative and they've tested my parents. No one has a bone marrow match for me. I'm dying Shawn and there is no one who can take Matthew. My parents are both old and they can't take care of themselves much less a growing young boy.

He's with a foster family in San Antonio near you. I've told them that you might be coming. The address is enclosed along with all of his medical records as well as a list of things that he likes and his allergies.

I know this is sudden and you'll need time to think about it. I know that you are a godly man and will do what is right. Please don't let him forget about me. Tell him I love him very much. I haven't watched wrestling in ten years, but Matthew has, you're his hero.

Take care of my baby Shawn. Please.

Sincerely,

Genny Ryan

Tear drops stained the page as Shawn reread it for the tenth time. His best friend Paul (HHH) looked over his shoulder and read it again as well. "I had no idea. Honestly, I knew I'd made a mistake the second I did it.I went to her apartment the minute our match was over. Hunter I've been in love with this woman for ten years. I've been looking for her. I've found her only to know she'll be gone forever."

Hunter/Paul laid a hand on his friends shoulder. "We'll find a way."

Shawn walked up to the address Genny had given him. He felt his heart lurch as he rang the doorbell. A young kid came and opened the door and when he saw Shawn, his jaw dropped.

"Shawn Michaels?!" He ran through the house screaming leaving Shawn standing on the front step with the door wide open. An elderly lady came around the corner from the parlor and smiled.

"You must be Matthew's father."

Shawn nodded and gave her an uneasy smile. "He knows you're his father, he's just a bit star struck right now." She gave Shawn an apologetic smile and turned to escort him into the parlor. He sat in a grossly antiquated couch.

A few minutes later Matthew came in and stood beside Shawn with a look of shyness and perhaps a small amount of fear.

"You're really my dad?" Shawn looked at this young boy and saw himself. The same eyes and the same sandy blonde hair. He had the same chin and forehead, though his had considerably 

more hair than Shawn's did. Matthew climbed up on Shawn's knee and hugged him around the neck.

"Mommy says you ran away from us."

Shawn began to feel the tears in his eyes when the subject of Genny was brought up. Sadly, he had to figure out a way to save her life, if only to make sure his son had a mother. He'd been divorced from Rebecca for 2 years now. It was time for him to move on. After all, he'd loved the mother of this son for longer than he could remember. That was a huge reason he and Rebecca had split up.

"I ran away from your mom. I didn't know about you at the time. But I know about you now. I have a son about 5 years younger than you. His name is Cameron."

Matthew hugged Shawn again. "I'm glad you finally came to get me. I was worried you would never show up."

Shawn hugged his ten year old tight to his chest and nestled Matthew's head in the crook of his neck.

A few hour later after Matthew's things were packed, Shawn finally took his son home.

Genny lay in her hospital bed crying. She had gone through another brutal round of radiation and was being kept in an isolation chamber. Her body was full of the deadly radiation that was supposed to be ridding her body of cancer. Yep, sounded ironic to her too.

Suddenly a knock sounded at the family window and her head jerked to the direction of it. Her son's smiling face filled her mind and her tears dried up and she smiled back. She picked up the phone beside her bed and watched as her son did the same with the phone on his side of the window.

"Hi Mommy!"

Genny's smile wavered as she heard her son. "Hi baby. What are you doing here?"

"Daddy brought me."

Genny stopped smiling when Shawn walked into view and put his hands on Matthew's shoulders. All the pain of being rejected and hurt came back. All of the pain of having to have Matthew alone, of having to raise him alone, came back and Genny broke down.

Shawn told Matthew to wait for him outside. He pressed his hand to the window and watched to woman he had loved for so long crying because of him. She'd lost the beauty she had when he knew her.



Her skin was a sickly white, her eyes bloodshot and her body was thin and brittle. Her hair wasn't the way he knew her either. It usually was very well kept and long. Now she was bald. Her hands came to cover up her head. Shawn's heart broke as he saw this.

He couldn't get to her and all he wanted to do was hold her. She looked up her eyes swollen from tears. Her laid his forehead on the window and didn't notice her struggle to stand up and walk over to him. When he looked up her hand was pressed against his through the window.

Shawn lifted the phone to his ear as Genny did.

"Genny…"

"Shawn…"

Tears rolled down both of their faces. "I never stopped loving you. I was lying. I was doped up on pills and drink, I said stupid things. I'm sorry. I love you Genny."

Genny knew her life was over, but to know that Shawn loved her gave her peace.

"I love you too Shawn. I've loved you for the past ten years. I love you for giving me a son. I love you for giving me happiness and for being the best performer in WWE history. I love you for never giving up. I'm so happy you found your smile again. It's a great smile. I see it every time I look at our son. I love you for him."

Shawn wanted to touch her, to hold her and let her know he wasn't going to let her go. He wanted to kiss her and make everything better again.

"Take care of our son for me. Tell him I love him."

"No, Genny I'll find a way. I'll find a way… Don't give up."

But she already had. She went back to the bed and laid down. She smiled weakly at Shawn, and then closed her eyes….

Two months later….

Shawn carried Cameron and Matthew into the Alamodome. Rebecca had his other child that weekend but Shawn was going to have a big night. It was father's day and his son's were going to watch him wrestle.

Matthew was already talking about how he was going to be a wrestler just like his Dad. Cameron had decided that he wanted to be a baseball player. Shawn didn't care either way what his sons did as long as they were happy.

Matthew became awestruck as they walked into the locker room and he saw all of his favorite wrestlers. John Cena came over and shook his hand and Matthew shyly held up an autograph book and a pen.



John Cena, Randy Orton, and even Triple H signed it. Matthew jumped up and down as Shawn put on his gear. Cameron was too busy playing his Nintendo gameboy to care. Shawn heard his cell phone vibrate on the bench beside him and answered.

After listening intently a grin broke out on his face. He looked at Matthew after he shut the phone off and picked him up spinning him around and around the locker room. Hunter came over to see what all the commotion was about.

"They found a match. Genny's going to be ok. I just have to ask the person if they mind losing a piece of bone marrow.

Everyone from the WWE that could had come by the hospital and been tested to see if they were a match that would save Genny's life.

Hunter grabbed Matthew in mid air and pulled him away from Shawn tucking him under his arm as he tried to stop Shawn from dancing like an idiot all around the locker room. Matthew twisted and Hunter let him loop his arms around his neck as he adjusted for the change of position.

"Shawn, Shawn…dude who is the match?" Hunter clamped a hand on Shawn's shoulder to keep him from bouncing off the walls. Really he looked like a kid who'd just had an entire vat of cotton candy after a state fair. Shawn stopped and frowned, then slapped himself on the head for not asking who it was.

He called the doctor back and began to frown as he hung up. "Well who is it?" Hunter pressed. Shawn sat on the bench and looked down at the floor. "It's Rebecca…"

Shawn walked up the steps with Cameron's hand in his. Rebecca opened the door and smiled at them both.

"Why didn't you tell me you tested for Genny?" Rebecca's smile wavered. "I didn't think it would be a match. All I know is that I asked God what I needed to do. I went to the hospital and met Genny. I can see why you've loved her for ten years."

"I loved you too Rebecca. Never forget that. I loved you too."

"Yea but not as much as you loved her. I can understand that. I love you Shawn, for our children, and for everything else. But I couldn't live with myself if I could save the life of the woman you loved, and I didn't even try. I want you to be happy."

Shawn pulled her into a hug. "Thank you."

Rebecca pulled back, "so how did you know that I got tested?"

Shawn sat down in a chair and looked up at her, "because the doctor called and told me you were the only match. You can save her life. I know it's a lot to ask, maybe too much, but I need this. Please."



"Then what are we waiting for then? I'll get the kids packed up and we can go today. I would do anything to make sure Matthew had his mom. He's a good boy."

30 minutes later they were on the way to Houston.

One year later…

Shawn walked into Reliant Stadium for Wrestlemania XXV with his children and his new wife of 9 months. Genny walked proudly beside her husband holding her sons hand on one side and her husbands on the other. Suddenly she heard a loud applause from the stadium. It was 5 hours before the show but when she walked in there was a crowd gathered in the ring.

Every wrestler she could think of was standing in and around the ring applauding her. She began crying as Shawn put his arm around her. Hugs were given as well as kisses on the cheek. Matthew was busy having a pretend fight with John Cena.

Suddenly the crowd parted and Rebecca stepped forward. Genny started crying all over again. She walked up to her husband's ex-wife and hugged her. They both cried for different reasons. Genny for the second chance at life and love she'd gotten and Rebecca for the love she'd lost.

Shawn enveloped them both in a hug and kissed them both.

Hunter began to quiet the crowd, "Ok people, that's enough mushy stuff. We're here to celebrate not cry a river."

They commenced with the celebration.

Genny talked to old friends from ten years ago and made new friends as well that day. She and Rebecca became inseparable and the best of friends. Genny proudly showed off her step-sons as well as her own baby Matthew. Years later when he looked back, after he'd finally retired and he and Genny had settled down in San Antonio with Matthew and Shawn's two children as well as their beautiful twin baby girls Rebecca and Chloe, he knew he couldn't have asked for a better life. He was with the woman he loved and he was happy. No, he couldn't be called the heartbreak kid anymore.

As he stood on the stage of the Hall of Fame some 15 years later and saw his family sitting in the front row, his son's grown and beginning their own careers, his daughters as beautiful as their mother, his best friend and his wife, and his ex-wife with her husband of 14 years, Mark Calloway, the Undertaker.

He thanked Vince McMahon for putting up with him for so long. He thanked his friends. He finally thanked Rebecca for showing him the real way to live life. He of course thanked God for giving him his talent and keeping him healthy. Then he thanked his wife, "Genny, you are the light of my life. Without you these past 15 years, I don't think I would have been able to survive. 

You wake up with me every morning. And you go to sleep with me every night. You gave me a son and two gorgeous daughters." When someone in the crowd whistled, he reminded them he may be old but could still kick butt. The crowd laughed. "Genny you have been my inspiration and my lifeline. You've also kept me in line. I love you baby. Thanks for sticking with me for so long. I know I was called the Heartbreak Kid once, and I've done my fair share of breaking hearts, but from now for the rest of my life, I will never break your heart again. I love you, I love this business, and I love the time I've been in it. I love my fans," and with tears in his eyes and a scratch in his throat he finished, "and I love my family. Thank you for the memories. I'm proud to have been called the Showstopper, the Main Event, and I'm proud to say that I was apart of this industry. Thank you."

Shawn and Genny lived out their lives in happiness and opened a summer camp for Christian youth. They changed the lives of many kids and adults in their lives. But most importantly, Shawn was never called the Heartbreak Kid again…
