Ali giggled and ran from her dad, weaving through the mass of bodies.
"You not gonna catch me! I speedy fast like Sonic!"
Jeff laughed and kept running, scooping her up into a hug.
"Caught you, Alicat."
Giggling, the blonde toddler wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head on his shoulder.
"Love you Daddy."
Jeff froze for a moment before returning the hug.
"I love you too, Ali. You're my little girl."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
"Yay! Ooh can we go meet somebody?"
Thinking for a moment, Jeff grinned.
"How about we go meet Uncle Matt?"
Matt Hardy sat in the locker room, idly playing with his Hardy Boyz necklace. The same necklace he'd given to Amy.
"Yo Matt, you in here?"
"Yeah Jeff."
Jeff walked in, and Matt raised an eyebrow at the little girl hiding behind his leg.
"Who's the kid?"
"She's my daughter Ali."
Ali peeked out, then ducked back as Matt walked over to her.
"You went and had a kid? Are you insane, Jeff? How the hell are we gonna raise a kid on the road? Get rid of her."
Jeff narrowed his eyes.
"No."
"No? NO? Jeff, we can't raise her!"
"I'm not getting rid of her, Matt. She's mine. This is my little girl."
"No she isn't! Who did you knock up, huh?"
The Rainbow-Haired Warrior growled and stepped back, shielding Ali from his crazy brother.
"I'm not getting rid of Ali. End of story."
"Fine. Sooner or later, that brat is gonna cost you something. And when she does, don't come crying to me."
He stormed out of the locker room and slammed the door, causing Ali to jump and look up.
"Daddy?"
"Yes, Kitten?"
"He doesn't like me."
Jeff sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"No baby, he just doesn't like my decision."
Ali sniffled and wiped her eyes before reaching up to Jeff.
"Up, Daddy?"
Smiling, he picked her up and gave a kiss on the forehead.
"I love you, baby girl."
"I love you too Daddy."
"I'm never gonna let you go, got it? You are my little girl, and I love you."
Ali stuck her thumb in her mouth and looked up at him.
