"That Girl"

Chapter Four: From Good to Bad to holy shit! (June 2006)

The day that Lily Hope Brooks was born changed our lives forever. I had never seen Phil break down like the way he did the first time he held our little girl for the first time. She was about three weeks early and so tiny I couldn't believe how tiny she was and well the fact that she came out of me. She's got the biggest blue eyes and her daddy's cute little nose.

About a week after we brought her home from the hospital and been extremely sleep deprived as most new parents are, we received a nice little phone call from WWE development saying that the wanted to send Phil down to Ohio Valley. I can just remember him waking me up with Lily cradled in his right arm and the phone in his left hand. Going on about how he just got offered a development deal with WWE and all this time I was half asleep. I was fully awake until Shane squealed like a little girl causing the sleeping new born to wake screaming.

With that… we all, including my loveable yet completely insane brother who received a similar call later that day, and yes… myself included, got the same call. I hadn't actually wrestled or been a valet for the last 6 months but Shane… being my sweet brother basically told them he wasn't going if I didn't have a spot as well.

The move was pretty funny because I still couldn't move anything so I was stuck holding Lily the whole time. We got a two bedroom little apartment that was the cheapest place that we could find because we really weren't going to making any real money. So Shane and I were living off of the money we got after dad died. Phil, well he had some money saved that he wanted to use for Lily's collage fund money but he said it would be replaced three fold once he hit it big.

We settled in nicely, it wasn't the ritz but Phil and Shane were getting their big shots, that's all that mattered to me.

"Ok boys…" I said grabbing Lily's car seat and dipper bag. It was the night of their first matches and Lily was dressed in the cutest outfit. She had this little onesizie that said 'P is Punk' and a little pair of jeans. Phil stood up from the couch and started to saunter over towards me.

"Yes my love…" He said looking down at his little girl who was sleeping peacefully in her car seat. He was obviously referring to me, but I couldn't help but smile when his eyes went straight to the baby instead of me. He had been doing that lately. Lily was his little girl, daddy's little princess.

"Why aren't you guys not ready yet?" I asked setting Lily's car seat on the kitchen table and lifting out my four month old little angel. Her soft dark hair was all spiky in the back from resting on the car seat. "See.. daddy… we're ready." I said cradling Lily in my arms.

Phil couldn't help but smile and lean in to kiss his still sleeping baby on her forehead. Over the last few days the both of us hadn't gotten much sleep because I can't afford Lily's regular formula and well the off brand isn't sitting well with the little princess. What can I say, I think she has expensive tastes. I'm trying to do the whole half breast feeding half bottle feeding thing but damn… either way this being a mom thing is a lot harder than I could have ever imagined.

"Let me get my bag…" Phil smiled and leaned in to kiss me keeping on hand on the little one's head. "Shane-o…. get your shit together boy!" My brother popped up on the couch still half asleep. He and Phil got this crazy idea the other night to give him a mowhawk, so in our shitty little kitchen with the cheapest clippers we could find. It was the strangest looking mowhawk I have ever seen but eh, it works for his gimmick.

"Yup… don't wake da baby…" Shane yawned as he stood up and grabbed his bag of gear that I had pack for the both of them the night before. I guess I really did take to the role of mother/wife of the both of them fairly well. I did all the cooking and cleaning, Phil and Shane helped with the baby as much as they could. Shane loved to be the Uncle to give his little angel everything mommy and daddy couldn't afford.

"Ok…" Phil said grabbing Lily's car seat and slinging his bag over his shoulder. I reached out when he handed me my purse and her dipper bag. Shane was stumbling trying to get his shoes on but he was decent enough. "To the Shit-mobile…" Phil said with great enthusiasm referring to our rather crappy car that liked to die on me when I went to get groceries, but Phil promised when the first check came we were going to get a brand new one.

The boys sat upfront and I sat in back breast feeding Lily. I really do love how much it freaks my brother out when I would breast feed in front of him. "God damn Vauny!" Shane said opening the window and sticking his head out it. "Do you really have to do that when I'm less than five feet away from you, for fucks sake I just saw my baby sister's tit." Shane grabbed on to Phil's arm for dear life and rested his head on his shoulder. "Why does she do that to me Phil…"

"Because she likes to see you squirm." He glanced back at me as we pulled into the parking lot. "I know because she did the same damn thing with my when she was pregnant always complaining about her hemorrhoids… but I still love you."

"Well seeing as you are the on that put this little one in me and gave me said hemorrhoids, you had the right to know about all the awsome changes my body went through." I leaned forwards and kissed his neck as I put the little one up to my shoulder and started to burp her.

Shane just shook his head. I give him credit because he had every right to run off with Shawn when that whole shit went down but he told me some time later he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he left me high and dry. Plus, he liked Phil they had been tossing around the ideas of having them join up and be a tag team but that wasn't anything they wanted to do until the established themselves as singles first.

"Baby sister and baby sister's baby…" Shane said as he opened my door. I smirked and got out letting a small sigh. Lily let out a big yawn and rested her little head against my shoulder and I stepped out of the car. "Sleepy baby…" Shane said looking down at his adorable little niece. Shane really dose love Lily so much, he was right there the day she was born and he was so determined to become a big part of her life.

"Hey princess…" Phil said moving around the car and taking our little girl out of my arms and kissing the top of her head as he brought her up to his shoulder. "What…" He asked as she started to cry a little. "oh, life is so rough!" I couldn't help but laugh. We did that a lot now, just laughing and being just happy.

Phil is such a good father, really I couldn't ask for a better father for my little girl. Though I do have this feeling that Lily will never be lacking for protective male figures in her life. She has her daddy, uncles Shane and Shannon (who has only seen her twice but loves her to death) and Ace, Scott, and Joe just to name a few. It was honestly the funniest thing I've ever seen were these big wrestlers holding this tiny baby in their big arms. Ace didn't know what to do holding our little five pound baby girl, it was hilarious. He just kept saying "Someone else take her… I'm going to break her." Scott just adores her and has claimed that Lily is his and no one else is aloud to hold her with his written consent. So, I feel really bad for her first boyfriend because he's going to have to get through at the very least five big wrestlers.

"Oh yeah… all you do is get passed from one person to the next, all of them telling them how much they love you." I leaned up and kissed Phil softly before collecting our things and walking into building.

Everyone gave us strange looks as we walked in, I couldn't help but feel like the new kids. The only friendly face was Scott who came bounding over towards us already in his ring gear. "My favorite girls." He wrapped his arms around and squeezed tightly. "Where's my Lily?" Phil smiled and waved. "oh… I have to go by him now." Scott laughed and gave me a friendly peck on the cheek before walking over towards Phil.

I watched from a little distance while Scott took his goddaughter in his arms and beamed down at her. Now Phil and I aren't the most religious people but we felt it was only right to give our little girl godparents. Phil picked Scott because they had been through so much together and well, Scott loved Lily like she was his own little girl. I picked my best friend Rylie to be her godmother. Rylie was a year above me in school but if it wasn't for her I would have never made it through puberty sane.

After a few minutes I looked down at my watch and the doors were going to open in about an hour. "Now boys, give the baby back to her mother so you two can go get ready." I held out my arms and Scott reluctantly handed the baby to me and walked away with a sad puppy dog look on his face. "Now, now." I kissed Phil on the cheek and he smiled. "Go get ready…" He nodded and we made our way back to the locker room where all the guys were getting ready.

Some of the other wrestlers wives and girlfriends were gathered in a corner gossiping. I was hesitant but I walked over to them with a smile on my face holding my four month old daughter on my hip. "Hi…" I said meekly. With that 6 sets of eyes suddenly focused on my small frame. "I'm Shevaun, I'm one of the new women wrestlers… well I will be once the doctor gives me the all clear." I was babbling, this wasn't starting off well. " I'm CM Punk's girlfriend."

With that there was much whispering amongst themselves before a dark haired woman looked up at me and smiled. "Nice to meet you, Shevaun is it… I'm Kim, I'm Teddy Hart's girlfriend." I nodded a little. I knew that Phil and Teddy were not friends, they got into one night when I was about six months pregnant. Teddy was good friends with Shawn and something screamed inside that this wasn't going to be good.

"Oh… I remember you now." I said shifting Lily so she was up by my shoulder. I could hear her little giggle, someone must be making a funny face at her but I wasn't about to turn around to see who it was. "Teddy is friends with my older brother Shawn…" I mentioned glancing at the locker room door. Inside I was praying for Phil to just walk out the locker room and away from this stupid girl and her drama that was bound to happen.

Before I could get another word out I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Phil wants to talk to you," I turned around to look who it was and it was Shane. "Give me Lils," He said, I just nodded handed over my little girl to him and started to walk towards Phil who was standing against a wall.

"What?" I ask softly reaching out and placing my hands on his forearms. "Phil."

"That son of a bitch is here…" He spat. "Teddy fucking Hart, and guess who I have to wrestle tonight… Teddy Fucking Hart." I reached up and pushed his two toned hair off his face.

"I know, I met his girlfriend…" Phil took my hand and kissed it softly. "Can't you ask them to change the match." If we were back in ROH he could have, he had way more pull there than here. Here he was just another indie guy getting his chance at the big time. Phil shrugged and I looked over at a group of wrestlers coming out of the locker room.

One guy looked oddly familiar, I mean, I had this sick feeling in my stomach. It couldn't be Shawn, no… Shawn was down in TNA doing his thing, wasn't he? I poked Phil's shoulder to bring him out of his thoughts and pointed towards the group of guys. One of them was Teddy, but I wasn't looking at him. "I can't fucking belive it… Shawn…"

"No fucking way." Phil mumbled taking a few steps away from me to get a better look. "Shit… fucking shit!" Phil said throwing his hands up, he was pissed. Everyone who ever had personal beef was showing up, this was not good.

"Take Lils and go home." Phil said kissing my forehead. I looked up at him with a look of disbelief and shook my head. "Shevaun, please… I don't wand Lily involved. That's all, not that I don't think you can handle yourself but if they start shit with me, I ain't fucking backing down like a bitch." God, I hated when he acted all tough. I mean, he's a tough guy but I never saw him like that. I always see him as the sweet guy who makes me coffee in the morning, who gets up with the baby in the middle of the night, not the guy that most people see you know.

"If Shawn starts shit with you he starts shit with me." I said placing my hand on his chest. Phil knew how damn stubborn I was, it's the Irish in me what can I say, and well he wasn't going to get into a fight with me over it.

"Fine, but you take the baby and go find some place to chill until the show starts. Go get something to eat." He dug into the pockets of his baggy jeans and pulled out his wallet. "Here.." He handed me a twenty and kissed me on the forehead. "You've got your cell right?" I nodded. "Go find Shane and get Lily out of here for a while… I'll handle this."

"Phil." He kissed me softly and patted my bum. "Just go Vauny," I ran off to find my brother and daughter, but I wasn't happy about it. I knew that Phil was going to do something we both would regret later.

AN: Thanks so much to my awesome reviewers! I love you guys. So here as some notes, I original thought I was going to only have a few chapter in the past but I think I'm going to do at least one more during this time, just to explore what could happen between Phil and Shawn. It will be fun. I named their little girl Lily mainly because I love the Rugrats and well… Phil and Lil… I couldn't help myself. Yes! Cabana will be around a lot mostly because I love him to death, Ace will show up eventually and so will others.

So hope you guys like this one, sorry about the delay my computer crashed so I had issues. But the next chapters should be on a more regular basis form now one.
