On The Last Day Of Suspension
Shawn sat down next to his wife Rebecca as two weeks passed. It was his last day of being in San Antonio until he had to go back to his long and wonderful career in the WWE. "Do you have to go back tomorrow, daddy? Just stay one more day!" Cameron stuck out his bottom lip, leading Cheyenne to do the same. "Please, please, please, please, please!" Cameron and Cheyenne hugged their father's legs. "Haha, kids, I'm going to have to go tomorrow, and I feel really bad about it too like you do, but you've got to understand that daddy has to work so he can make even MORE money for food and clothes and this house and maybe even TOYS for you kiddies!" Shawn laughed. "Mommy, make daddy stay!" The kids looked up at Becky. "I can't make daddy stay, kids. Daddy'll be back soon." Rebecca put her arms around Shawn. "Yeah, I'll be back soon! And you can see me on TV! And call me on the phone!" Shawn smiled and put the kids next to him on the couch. "Fine..." Cameron looked up at his idol, his father, Shawn Michaels, sadly. "Don't look at me like that, boy." Shawn started feeling and looking really guilty.
As Cameron AND Cheyenne gave him a look, Shawn came up with a brilliant idea, bringing his family travelling with him! "Why dont you guys come along with me on tours?" Shawn's face lit up with the kids'. "No, no, no, no, no! Shawn, you are not dragging our family along with you all over the world! It would be too much trouble for us to do that." Rebecca looked at Shawn, meaning what she said one-hundred percent. Shawn looked at her, then looked at the kids and sighed. "What mommy says goes...sorry kiddos." Shawn patted his kids on the head. "Ya know what? Both of you kiddies go upstairs and I'll talk to mommy." He smiled as Cameron and Cheyenne both ran upstairs. "There you go, Shawn, make ME look like the bad guy!" Rebecca looked up at Shawn, taking her arms off from around him. "I didn't mean to make you look like the bad guy, baby! Its just... YOU made yourself look like the bad guy!" Shawn put Becky's arms back around him and smiled, knowing he said the wrong thing. "Excuse me?!" Rebecca took her arms back once more. "I made MYSELF look like the bad guy? Shawn, is there something wrong with you? Do you actually think travelling with me and the kids is a good idea?" She crossed her arms.
"Yes! Soldiers all the way back in who knows when did it!" Shawn smiled and nodded. "If your talking about OUR soldiers, it wasn't easy." Rebecca gave Shawn a certain look that made him back down. "Fine... But what am I going to do?" He leaned against Becky, now looking up at her. "You are going to go back to work, and then soon come home and see us again. Don't worry about it, okay, sweetheart? The kids will be fine. Just see what happens when you go back to work, but TRY not to get hurt?" Rebecca smiled at Shawn. "Ill try to avoid an injury tomorrow. I just probably don't want to know what Vince has in store for me when I come back." Shawn sat back up and looked over to the stairs, listening to the kids that were laughing. "I guess they forgot what had happened already. He laughed and held Becky's hand. "See, Shawn? They're over it already. You'll be fine and we'll be fine. Hopefully he doesn't have you out there working too hard, I want you coming back home full strength." Rebecca laughed and kissed him on the tip of his nose. "Hey! What was that?" Shawn looked at Rebecca oddly. "I kissed you on your nose because you were acting like a little boy." She smiled and got up, stretching. "Gee thanks, Becky!" Shawn wiped his nose and laid down on the couch.
Rebecca looked at Shawn. "Having fun laying down and lounging there, baby?" She smirked. "...Huh? What?" Shawn looked up at her. She shook her head as the kids came running back down. "Look! Look! Look what we made!" The kids took a castle out of a box made out of legos. Cameron jumped on his dad and Cheyenne tugged on her mom's pants. "Looks great, you two!" Shawn sat Cameron and Cheyenne down on his lap. "You guys have fun up there?" Shawn hugged his children. "Yeah! Make something with us daddy!" Cheyenne got down from her father's lap and tugged on his pants. "Yeah, daddy!" Cameron did the same. "Alright, alright! I'll go up there with you guys." Shawn got up and ran upstairs with the kids. After a few hours, Shawn and the kids ran down, yelling at the top of their lungs with what they made in their hands, startling Rebecca, who was taking a nap on the couch. "Baby, baby, baby! Look what we made!" Shawn caught Becky fast, with Rebecca almost falling off the couch from being startled like that.
"Are you guys insane?! You could've given me a heart attack with the way you scared me just now." Rebecca scolded the three of them, mostly Shawn for needing to know better. "...Sorry Becky." Shawn and the kids apologized. The phone rang and Shawn picked up the phone. "Hello?" Shawn sat down on the couch. "Hello, Shawn, I was just calling in to check on you. I see you aren't even on your flight yet, Shawn." Vince sat back in his seat all the way in Connecticut. "What do you mean? I said I was coming tomorrow." Shawn put his thumb on the button to hang up on Vince, waiting to hear what he had to say. "But to be here tomorrow you have to get on a plane NOW, Shawn. I expect to see you early." Vince's tone became deeper as he hung up the phone before Shawn got the chance to. Shawn hung up the phone and slammed it on the table. "Whats wrong, hun?" Rebecca looked at her husband, not wanting him upset. "Vince called and told me to get on a plane now, so I can be in Connecticut by tomorrow." Shawn got up and grabbed his bags and sat back down. "Its okay, Shawn, we understand." Rebecca kissed Shawn's lips and the kids kissed him on the cheek. "Ill call you guys when I get to Connecticut, late or not, alright?" Shawn looked sadly at his wife and children as they nodded.
Shawn hugged his family tightly before leaving, then stepped outside of the door. Step by step, he grew further apart from his family. To Connecticut he went. What was in store for Shawn when he got there?
