Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I own Jamie and Madison…but that's it.


A/N: Thanks for the love! I hope you're still enjoying the story. Here's the next chapter! Please let me know what you think! It means the world to me! :o)


"Come on, Jamie. Just come back. Everyone misses you. Vince is willing to quadruple your salary and take care of getting Madison taken care of. Please just do it," Randy begged his sister.

"Randy this is a bad idea. I don't want to be around Mike. It's just not a good idea," she argued.

"So, he'll leave you alone. If he even think about bothering you, I'll crack him in the jaw," he promised.

She grinned. "You're so violent when you get defensive of me. It's actually quite adorable."

"Well, you're my little sister. I have to protect you."

"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."

"Well, I do."

Jamie smiled. "I know you do."

"And I want you on the road with me."

She ran a hand through her hair. "I dunno."

"You have to."

"No, I don't."

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Please?"

"Listen, I'll talk to Vince. If it goes well, then, I'll come back, okay?" she compromised with him.

"Can I go with you?"

"No."

"You're no fun."

"I'll backhand you."

"I know you will."

"I'll call Vince tomorrow and set up a meeting with him, and then, we'll just see what happens."

"Okay. Call me and let me know what's going on. Okay?"

"I will. I promise," she said.

"I'm really happy that you came here tonight," he said, sincerely.

"Me, too. I've missed you."

"And you've missed being around everyone else, too."

Jamie smiled and nodded. "Yes. And I've missed the business. I know that's where you were headed."

"Yeah."

"I know you want me coming back. There's just a lot that I have to consider before doing that, you know?"

"I know. But if you have a lighter workload and get paid a lot more than you did before, and Vince lets you bring Madi along for the ride, then, I think there's really no way that you can say no."

"Aside from Mike being here, there would be no way that I could refuse the offer," she said.

"I know…"

"And seeing him tonight wasn't easy for me."

"I know that, too. But I'll be here. John Cena, John Hennigan, Melina, Nattie, Sam's here with Alanna all of the time. Everyone is here. Everyone loves you and misses you," he pleaded his case.

"And I miss you and everyone else."

"Well, you should just try it and see how it works out."

Jamie shrugged. "We'll see."

"Okay. Test me when you get home, okay?"

"Of course I will."

"Drive safely," he said, giving his sister a huge. She wrapped her arms around Randy, missing having her brother around all of the time.

"I will. I love you, Randy."

"Love you, too, Jame."

Randy placed a kiss on his niece's head. She was out cold. "Later gator," she said, closing the door to the backseat of her car. She got into the driver's seat. Randy watched as his sister drove away, before returning back into the venue.

Jamie knew the hour and a half ride home with a sleeping baby was not the best thing for her right now. She would've preferred the distraction. Having Madison hold her attention was ideal, especially considering that she had had to speak with Mike earlier in the evening. She preferred to hate him, not to miss him. Truth be told, the two had such a great relationship that it wasn't always easy for her to hate him.

*Flashback*

"Babe! I've been looking all over the place for you," Mike whined walking to the locker room. She looked up from her seat on the couch.

"And the last place you look is our locker room?" she asked, with her brow furrowed in confusion.

Mike sat down next to her. "That's a good point you have there." He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her body close to his.

"Your match was great, baby," she said, giving him a kiss on his sweaty arm.

"Thanks, babe. I hate when you get banned from ringside," he groaned, leaning hi head back. "I think you're the only person on earth who will cuddle up against me when I'm all sweaty and gross after a match."

Jamie smiled. "Probably," she agreed. "But it's because I love you so much."

Mike smiled. "Aw. I love you, too."

"Besides, if you get me all sweaty, I'll just have to join you in the shower."

Mike smirked and pulled Jamie onto his lap, so she was straddling him. She giggled. He gently kissed her lips. "A shower with you is always something I love." His hands were resting on her lower back.

"Me, too," she agreed, bringing her hands from his neck, onto his shoulders.

"I'm so lucky I've got you," he said softly.

"Aw, Mike. I'm a lucky lady. I've got the greatest man ever."

"I can't wait until next month."

"We're gonna have so much fun in Aruba," she said.

"I know. A whole week alone with you." He groaned thinking about it.

Jamie ran her hand down his bare chest. "A whole lot of privacy will definitely be nice."

"That it will." He pulled her in for another kiss. "Okay. Shower time," he said, picking her up with him, as he stood up from the couch and brought her into the bathroom.

*End Flashback*

Jamie missed Mike. She hated what he'd done, but she had been so in love with him for so long that she couldn't just hate him on command. She wanted to, but it wasn't going to happen.

What Jamie truly wanted was for Mike to come crawling back. She knew damn well it wasn't gonna happen, but the thought made her heart skip a beat. She couldn't play the part of the naïve little girl anymore, though. Jamie had Madison to think about.

Honestly going back into the WWE was the best choice for Madison. She'd have her Uncle Randy and all of the other aunts and uncles spoiling her. Jamie would be earning a lot of money, which would definitely benefit Madison greatly. Vince was great when it came to handing out offers that can't be refused, and Jamie was sure that this was gonna be one of those cases.

She just knew that she'd end up re-signing with the company. She just wasn't sure how she was going to be able to handle being around Mike. Maybe they'd end up in a storyline together. Being forced to be near him would be the worst case scenario. She needed to get over him and quickly because she couldn't handle being so close to him without losing her sanity.

Jamie glanced in the rearview mirror at Madison. She love her daughter more than life itself. She wished that Mike was in her life. Even if they weren't together, she just wanted him to be there for the baby. It wasn't Madison's fault that they weren't together. She shouldn't have to suffer because their relationship had ended. She wouldn't have wanted to be a mother yet. It wasn't part of her plan for at least another few years, but when she had Madison, everything changed. She loved being a parent. It was her favorite job in the entire world. It wasn't easy, but she was willing to do everything she could for her daughter.

*Flashback*

"I can't believe you're a mother," Elaine Orton said, watching her oldest daughter cradle her newborn in her arms.

Jamie smiled. "Me either. It's so weird. I can't believe how in love with her I really am," she said.

"It's one of those things that you can never truly understand until you've got a baby of your own."

"She's so little. I can't believe that she was the one who was kicking around in me for all of that time."

"My granddaughter is so beautiful. I swear, my children have the most absolutely beautiful babies," Elaine proudly said, smiling. "I'm so proud of you, Jamie."

"Thanks, mom."

"Have you heard from Michael yet?"

She shook her head. "Nope."

"Maybe Randy should speak to him and knock some sense into him."

Jamie shrugged. "It's not even worth it. If he doesn't want to be her father, then it's his loss. I don't want to force him to be a dad. It's just gonna cause him to resent her. I'll do this on my own. I'll be a mother and father to Madison," Jamie explained.

Elaine nodded. "Well, I'm here for you. Anything you need, even when you go back to work."

"I'm not going back to wrestling."

"Why not?"

"Well, I don't want to be around Mike. Plus, a mother wrestling? That's probably not a good idea."

"Randall is a father, and he wrestles. Your father wrestled for years, even after all of you kids were born."

"I dunno. I guess we'll just have to see what happens."

*End Flashback*

Jamie knew returning would cause a lot of pain for her, but in a lot of ways, it benefited Madison. Depending on what Vince offered, there was a good chance that she'd become a part of the WWE once again. Her only hope was that Michael Mizanin would not ruin it for her or maker her life any more difficult than he already had.
