Ember laughed and kept running from her dad. It was rather funny to see her daddy chasing her.
"Ember Isis Jacobs, don't make me call Mom."
She froze and walked back to her father, head down.
"Sowwy Dada."
Kane smiled at her and picked her up, pretending to be unable to lift her.
"You're so big! Any more growing and I won't be able to lift ya up, baby."
"But Dada, you stronger than Unca Mark."
"Thank you, Emmy."
Smiling, the dark-haired toddler happily placed a kiss on her father's head.
"Love you Dada."
"I love you too, my little demoness."
Batista walked down the hallway at that moment, much to the delight of Ember.
"UNCA TISTA!"
She squirmed out of her father's arms and bolted for her uncle, who grinned and picked her up.
"Hey there little bit! How are you?"
"Good. I finded a quarter in my pocket!"
Dave grinned.
"Awesome, sweetheart."
"Hey Dave, would you mind watching her for me during my match? I'll come and pick her up after."
"Sure. More time with my favorite neice!"
"Thanks. Bye Emmy."
"Bye Daddy!"
Batista sat in the locker room, coloring a picture.
"Unca Tista, what ya dwawing?"
"I'm drawing a bear, Little Bit. What about you?"
"I dwawing a unicorn!"
"Awesome. I'll be right back, sweetheart. I gotta use the bathroom, so I need you to stay here."
"Otay Unca Tista."
Ten minutes later, Ember was getting hungry. She wandered out the door and into the hallway, looking for Catering.
"I hungwy," she said to herself. Wandering down the incredibly long hallway, she accidentally bumped into Ryback.
Ember looked up at him and backed away, eyes wide.
"I s-sowwy Mister. Didn't mean to."
Ryback reached down and she yelped and ran away, back into the locker room where she locked the door.
Batista walked back to the locker room, going to open the door and frowning.
"Ember? Baby open the door for me."
He heard crying and knocked on the door, worried.
"Emmy, open up for me. It's Uncle Batista."
The door opened and his arms were full of toddler.
"Unca Tista."
"Hey, don't cry. Shh, what happened Little Bit?"
"I was hungwy and I wanted a sandwich so I walked down the hall and bumped into a scawy person," she said through her tears.
He growled.
"Which scary person?"
"I don't know."
A knock on the door caught Batista's attention and he walked over to it.
"No Unca Dave! Don't open it!"
"Shh, relax Emmy. I'll protect you."
He opened the door to see Ryback looking down at the floor.
"What's up?"
"I may have accidentally scared a little girl. I wanted to apologize."
Ember peeked out from behind Batista's leg, looking up at her.
"Mister?"
Ryback crouched and looked at her.
"Hey, little one. I didn't mean to scare you, I promise. Are you okay?"
Ember nodded, then smiled as Ryback handed her a sandwich.
"I get the feeling this is what you were looking for, yes?"
"Yeah! Thank you Mister!"
"Call me Ryback, sweetheart."
"Thank you Unca Ryback."
Ember hugged him and he froze before wrapping his arms around her.
"You're welcome, sweetheart."
