Chapter 2: You Should Talk To Him
March Third had finally arrived for the impatient mother of one. She grabbed the two backpacks laying in the backseat before unclipping her daughter from the car seat. One backpack went on Willow's back, the other on Caterina's. Taking the little girls hand, Caterina lead her inside the arena.
"Now, remember what I said, Willow?"
"No running off, no matter who I see," Willow recited, holding a stuffed monkey to her chest.
"Good girl. Now let's see if we can find Uncle Paul and Uncle Randy," Caterina smiled, looking at the arrows on the walls.
After a while of walking corridors, Willow started to shout 'Uncey Randy' at the top of her lungs. Caterina looked up from the piece of paper she was holding to see her daughter jumping into her best friends arms. She laughed as she walked up to them.
"You are a bad influence on my daughter, Randal," she playfully glared at him.
"Ridiculous, it just makes me her fun uncle," he grinned smugly.
"Yeah, whatever," Caterina scoffed. "You don't seem surprised to see me."
"Paul told me you were coming back tonight," Randy shrugged.
"Uncey Paul! Can we go see Uncey Paul, momma?" Willow asked.
Superstars passing gave the Apex Predator strange looks.
"Yeah, Kitty Cat, can we go see Uncle Paul?"
"Of course we can. Do you know where his office is?"
Randy nodded, leading the way.
"So, I have heard about issues you and Samantha are having," Caterina spoke softly, knowing better than to anger him. "Is everything okay?"
"I don't want to talk about it right now, Cat," Randy mumbled.
"Well, you are gonna have to tell me at some point," she replied.
"I'll tell you once you have spoken to you-know-who," he said, raising an eyebrow.
"Why does momma need to talk with Mr Voldemort?"
The two adults laughed at the toddler, who was looking at them with a curious expression.
"To tell him to stop attacking Harry," Caterina answered, stroking her daughter's hair.
"You let her watch Harry Potter, but you won't let her play WWE with me?"
"I've been reading the books with her. We are at the end of the second one," Caterina shrugged. "She doesn't even watch you wrestle till Superstars, Randy. I don't let her watch RAW."
The two kept discussing the whole RAW thing till they came to a stop at the office door. Randy strode right inside, without an invitation. After shaking her head in disbelief at the man, Caterina followed The Viper in, only to be pulled into a hug by Paul.
"You are crushing me, Paul," she whimpered, her face turning purple causing Paul to reluctantly let her go. "Thank you."
Willow was sitting on the floor, playing with Randy as Steph pulled her mother into a hug.
"How have things been?" Stephanie asked, pulling the diva over to the couch where they sat down. Paul sat on the floor with Randy and Willow, playing with the young girl but also listening to the adult women talk.
"They are definitely better since I signed the dotted line," Caterina said, a soft smile on her lips. "Willow has been a lot happier."
"That might have something to do with Uncle Phil and Aunt April," Stephanie teased, watching the young brunette girl play with her two adopted uncles.
"I like that everyone has adopted her as their niece. It makes her family bigger," Caterina smiled, watching her daughter as she giggled like a hyena. "Randy thinks I should talk to... Him."
"You should, sweetie. You guys need to settle things before you need to get in the ring with each other. We both know it's not safe," Stephanie spoke softly, like she was talking to a child.
Caterina nodded, her eyes cast on the carpet where she made patterns in her head.
"Caterina-"
"I'm going to go get ready, so I don't have to do it later," Caterina spoke quickly, taking her backpack and darting out of the office. She followed the signs to the female locker room. As soon as she entered, the diva worked quickly to get changed. Her outfit was camo pants, a black overlay corset, a black tank with 'Love a Tattooed Girl' written on it with black ankle boots. The others divas watched as she slid her Bitch necklace over her head, tightened her Cross cuff bracelet and adjusted her skull and snake rings.
"I'm guessing you are the new diva-" Brie started to say before Caterina interrupted her.
"I'm hardly new. I'm old talent. Just a baby when I started out here. Almost ten years."
The divas stared at her, their mouths open as the blonde diva did her hair and make up.
"Close your mouths, loves. It doesn't make you look any better," Caterina shrugged, grabbing her bag before leaving the locker room.
"I knew it was you."
She turned around to look at who had spoken to her, teeth grinding together when she saw her adopted brother standing there.
"It's good to see you again, Lyra."
