Matt squeezed Kisa's hand and she looked up at him, curiosity and nerves both showing in her eyes. He smiled at her, she needed reassurance, he tried to give this but, to be honest, he was pretty nervous himself. He had never asked Vince for this much before, gave his all to the WWE, he hoped this would stand in his favor. . He couldn't be sure though, no one could ever be sure when it came to Vince, he was a puzzle. Matt brought his attention back up to the door, breathing in. he knocked. He felt Kisa's grip tighten around his hand and gently squeezed back to let her know he wasn't going anywhere.
'Come in.' A voice boomed from the other side of the door and Matt dutifully obliged. Gripping the handle, he twisted it and opening the door, led Kisa intyo the room.
'Matt.' Vince nodded, acknowledging his presence.
'Vince.' Matt smiled.
'And who would this little girl be?' Vince smiled at Kisa, trying to look less intimidating. It didn't work, noted Matt.
Kisa moved around to hide behind Matt, not letting go of his hand. Peeking out she saw Vince was still watching and retreated backwards.
'This is Kisa.' Matt said, gently trying to pull her around but not wanting to force her after what she has been through.
'And who would Kisa be Matt?' Vince questioned.
'Erm, do you have somewhere Kisa can go? So we can talk.' Matt asked, not wanting to mention her mother around her, it was upsetting for her and Matt hated seeing her hurt.
'Yeah sure.' Vince replied, pressing a button on his table.
The door opened behind them and Kisa jumped, running around to the side of Matt.
'Mary, can you take Kisa to get a drink, maybe watch some tv?' Vince asked the woman that had walked into the room.
Mary held out her hand to Kisa, a warm smile on her face but Kisa didn't want to let go of Matt, she gripped his hand tighter.
Matt knelt down to Kisa's level.
'I won't be long Kisa, I just need to talk to Vince about something. I promise I will be here whe you get back.' He whispered to her.
Kisa seemed unsure for a second but gradually let Matt's hand go and nervously looked at Mary, who had also crouched down, holding out her hand.
'How about we go and get a drink sweetie? Hmm? Maybe a cake if Matt says its ok.'
'Can I Daddy?' Kisa asked, looking back at Matt.
Matt grinned. 'Ok,' he chuckled. 'But not too many.'
Kisa nodded and Matt noticed the looks he was getting from Vince and Mary, due to her calling him Daddy. He would explain to Vince in a minute, once Kisa was out of the room. Kisa hugged Matt and he breathed in her scent, a rush of love already rushing through him. With that she took Mary's hand and walked towards the door, taking one last glance at Matt before the door closed behind her. Matt stood up and watched the door for a second.
'Sorry to hear about your accident Matt, how are you?' Vince asked, concern in his voice.
'Not to bad, getting there.' Matt replied, wondering what the next line of questioning would be.
'When do you think you would be able to get back into the ring?' Vince questioned again, not relenting.
'Yeah, about that, I want to take some time out Vince, I've gone through a lot, I'm not feeling 100% and I need to take care of Kisa.' Matt trailed off.
'I see, how much time?'
'Erm, about a year.'
'That's a long time Matt.'
'Yeah, I know and I'm sorry to have to ask you. Its just, you know what happened in Hawaii? Well I want to go help, I realised after my accident how valuable life is and I want to help these people. They need help Vince, not just money and I want to help them. And I need to look after Kisa. Her mother died in the plane crash. She has no one. She needs a parent and I promised myself I was going to be that parent, I won't see her go into care.' Matt breathed in after his speech, hoping Vince would understand.
'It's a lot to ask Matt. A year? It's a long time. You've done a lot for the WWE, its not gone un noticed, we were talking about giving you a big push, possibly WWE champion. If you go, this wouldn't be possible.' Vince stopped.
'I'm sorry Vince, you can't change my mind.' Matt replied, resising the title run bribe.
'I respect that Matt and I respect you for your decisions. It takes a real man to take on a little girl like that, to be a father figure. To help the people who need it most. If I can't convince you to stay, I'm not ging to waste your time or mine trying to. You will need to do one more apperance on Smackdown, finish up properly, then we are going to let you go. If after a year you decide you want to come back, your always welcome.'
'Thank you Vince, I appreciate that.' Matt nodded.
Vince buzzed again and Mary entered the room with Kisa. She let go of Mary and ran to Matt, jumping on his lap and nuzzling into his chest.
'Hey you, did you have fun?' Matt asked Kisa.
She nodded and put her arms around Matt.
Matt stood up and put Kisa down next to him.
'Thank you Vince.' Matt held out his hand and Vince took it.
'Your welcome Matt, thank you.' He replied, sitting back in his chair.
'Come on then sweetie, lets go.' Matt said, leading Kisa towards the door.
'Thank you Mary.' Kisa shouted as she left and Matt smiled, such a polite kid.
Stepping out of the building Matt looked at Kisa.
'What now Daddy?' She shrugged and Matt grinned, such innocence, he hoped she always remained that way, already dreading the teenage years.
'Well, you remember me telling you about your new family?' he asked and Kisa nodded. 'I think its time we go meet them, what do you think?'
Kisa looked as if she was thinking for a second and then nodded, a grin on her face.
'Come on then, little one, they are going to be waiting for us.'
