Randy towered over the small brunette child and chuckled.
"You're Haley's daughter aren't you?" he asked in a voice that made Jess' skin crawl, she nodded. There was no denying that she was completely and utterly terrified…and defenceless.
"Yes" she managed to squeak out. Randy smirked at the girl's fear.
"You know it can be dangerous walking around here on your own" he taunted her, Jess was already shaking.
"Hey" someone called out causing Randy to turn around.
"What do you want?" Randy snapped.
"I want you to leave her alone. You're a father, what would you do if some asshole was scaring your kid?" Jon asked as he got in Randy's face. Randy scoffed and looked away.
"You're not a father though Jon" Randy pointed out. Jon sighed and glanced at Jess and nodded for her to go, she did as quick as lightning.
"I may not be her father, but as least I'm not the guy terrorising her" Jon said then walked in the direction Jessica had run. He wanted to make sure she got back to her mother in one piece.

Jessica ran up to her mother and Haley was instantly concerned. Her daughter was shaking, crying and pale white, she was terrified.
"Sweetie what happened?" Haley asked as she knelt in front of her daughter. Jess was crying too much though, she was unable to talk.
"Randy cornered her." Haley looked up and saw Jon and stood up.
"What?" Haley asked. She had heard him but she was pissed off.
"He was scaring the hell out of her. I was on my way to catering to meet Colby and Joe and saw Randy towering over her, I figured I'd better bring her back here" Jon explained. Haley hugged her sobbing daughter again and Jon turned to go sit with Colby and Joe by the TV.
"Wait, Jon" Haley called out. He turned around to face her again.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"Meet me at my hotel room at 10, I think you've earned a date" Haley smiled. Jon smiled back then headed for his friends. That was one way to get her to go out on a date, he wished it hadn't been because he saved her daughter and she felt she owed him. He wanted her to go on the date because she had feelings for him too. He sat on Colby's left and was still smiling.
"What's got you so happy?" Colby asked.
"I'm going on a date with Haley tonight" Jon told the guys. Joe and Colby smiled.
"She finally said yes?" Joe asked.
"Only because she felt she owed me, I found Randy scaring the crap outta Jess and brought her back here" Jon sighed. It was kind of depressing knowing that was the only reason why she had agreed to the date. Colby and Joe looked between each other.
"Man what are you whining about? She said yes to a date now all you gotta do is make her want more. Impress her and she'll want another date" Joe encouraged Jon.
"Layla said that Haley's rule is that she's officially someone's girlfriend when she agrees to a second date" Colby told him.
"Hey" Layla greeted as she sat on the other side of Jon. Jess sat on the other side of Layla.
"You babysitting?" Colby asked. Layla nodded and Jess waved at the boys.
"We're not saying anything this time" Jon smiled playfully at Jess who grinned at him.

"You ready for our rematch?" Faye asked, Kaitlyn smiled and they shook hands. The bell rang and the two women circled each other when Tamina came out and got on the apron. Faye looked to Kaitlyn and they both dropkicked Tamina off the apron before Faye turned on Kaitlyn and speared her. Kaitlyn was frozen in shock. Faye set Kaitlyn up near the ropes and performed her signature split-leg moonsault and pinned Kaitlyn for the victory. Headstrong blared through the arena and Faye offered her hand to help her friend up which Kaitlyn took gratefully. Faye raised Kaitlyn's hand then left the ring.

"My guest at this time, Faye" Renee introduced as Faye stood beside her in her ring gear.
"Hey Renee" Faye smiled.
"You just pinned the Divas champion Kaitlyn, but it was after a distraction by-"
"We were both distracted by Tamina but a smart competitor knows to get rid of her then go back to the match. Yes, I took advantage of a distraction but I know that I can still beat Kaitlyn" Faye told the blond then left.

"You okay?" Haley asked Celeste who was still holding her mid-section.
"Yeah, I just misjudged how much time I had to turn around before that spear. Trainer says I'm just bruised" Celeste replied as she slipped on her Mario t-shirt. Haley rummaged through her bag in a towel until she found a pair of skinny jeans and her strapless black top to go with her black flats. She quickly got changed and headed to catering in search of Layla and Jess.

"Hey guys and gals" Haley greeted as she reached the Shield's table they shared with Layla and Jessica. Jess turned on her chair.
"You were awesome Momma" Jess exclaimed. Haley smiled and hugged her daughter over the chair.
"You did great, are you next in line for the title?" Joe asked. Haley nodded.
"I get my shot at Wrestlemania, the biggest stage of them all" Haley grinned, proud.
"Does that mean you're turning heel? You sort of turned against Kaitlyn out there" Jon said. Haley nodded.
"I was told about it a few weeks ago, I'm going to be put in a stable" Haley told them.
"With us?" Colby asked. Haley nodded.
"Now you're all stuck with me" Haley teased. Colby shook his head.
"In quote of Ron Simmons DAMN" Colby teased back. Haley walked over to him and ruffled his hair.
"That was for ruffling my daughter's hair" Haley whispered in his ear then headed towards the food. She took a plate and put on a scoop of salad the frowned.
"Hey" Nick smiled. Haley turned to the superstar better known as Dolph Ziggler and smiled.
"Hi" she returned. They had been friends for about six months now and he always made her laugh, they always acted goofy around each other.
"You seem angry at the food, what's up?" he asked.
"I almost forgot I'm meeting someone for a late dinner after the show but I'm starving now" she told him. He offered her his plate that had a handful of fries on it.
"Take these, it should tie you over until your dinner" he offered and she smiled.
"Thanks" she said and used her fork to scrape the fries onto her own plate. It amazed her sometimes how much Nick could eat without putting on weight. He was a machine.
"See you later" he smiled and left.
"Bye" she waved. Haley walked back to her table and sat between Joe and Jess.
"That's not much" Layla stated. Haley looked at her friend then at Jon.
"I've having dinner after the show, I just wanted something small to tie me over until then" she told the table while using the fork the chase a cherry tomato around the plate. She eventually gave up on the fork and picked it up with her fingers and plopped it in her mouth. Layla laughed. Haley glared at her. "It didn't want to be eaten" Haley smiled. Layla only laughed harder while the guys chuckled. It wasn't long until the show ended and Haley headed back to the hotel with Celeste and Layla. The next thing on her to do list was figure out what to wear…
