WWE owns people...

Colby pounded his fist on the hotel door causing a stinging sensation to shoot through his knuckles. He had been up all night just staring at the off white ceiling of the crappy hotel room he had occupied last night while Eva slept soundly next to him. All day he itched to cause a fight with anyone and everyone; Eva had noticed the change in attitude and got on his case only for him to shout at her and stomp away like a petulant child.

He had waited all day for this moment, the moment he got Echo alone, so he could lay into her. The amount of curse words that scrolled through his head along with the multitude of emotions ready to pour out of him made for an dreadful conversation. Despite the bags under his brown eyes, Colby is revved up thanks to a good amount of monster and a healthy dose of sugar.

Echo opened the hotel room door calmly only to have Colby bust through the door almost knocking her down in the process. He was so lucky Jinx had left moments before he arrived, she had sent her daughter off with 'Uncle' Jon for ice cream and a trip to the arcade. "Hello, Colby. How are you? Yes please come in." Echo rolled her eyes and closed the door.

Colby glared at her forcing down the word 'bitch' that had formed on his tongue. He tightened his hand into a fist and slowly released it. "Honestly, I don't have the patience for your cutesy attitude and if a sarcastic comment comes out of your mouth I'm likely to punch a hole through the wall." He warned her.

Echo raised her hands in defense "Okay, I'm sorry. My defense is sarcasm and I don't mean to offend you." She apologized.

"You are way past offending me, Echo. You hid my daughter from me for 3 years." He stressed his last words as he took a step forward. He quickly retracted his steps knowing that getting any closer to her would end up unpleasant.

"It was to protect your future." She shot back.

"Please, you hid her from me because I hurt you. This is you getting back at me." He spat.

"Fuck you." Echo snarled "Don't lie, you wouldn't have been this accepting of her 3 years ago. You were focused on yourself and only yourself! You didn't want a child or to have to look after a pregnant girlfrie-... a pregnant woman." She shot back.

"That still doesn't give you the right to keep my daughter from me!" He thundered.

"I have the right to do what I see fit. And if keeping you away from her is what's best then so be it." She shouted right back at him. The gloves were off, neither cared if the whole hotel could hear them.

"Oh yes because growing up without a father is good for any child! Logical!"

"So you rather despise her for taking away your freedom? Make her ask herself what she had ever done to make you hate her. Yeah, rather spare her that pain."

"I would have never put any of that on her!" He boomed. "You can't say what I would have done or what I wouldn't have!"

"You're right, Colby! I assumed and I still stand behind that decision!"

"Let me ask you something, how long would you have let this go on? Were you ever going to tell me?"

She ran a hand through her hair "I hadn't planned that far."

"Figures. Were you going to replace me? Raise her thinking a different man was her father?"

She looked at him like he had three heads "Where did that come from?!" She exclaimed "I haven't been with anyone since you!"

Colby opened his mouth, but quickly closed it. He cleared his throat and licked his lips. Colby looked everywhere, but at her, he wasn't expecting that bit of information. "I want partial custody." He announced.

"Woah, that's a little drastic. She doesn't exactly know you, I don't know your fiance well enough…. Do you even know how to take care of a 3 year old?"

"She is mine just as much as she is yours. I want to see my daughter, I want to know her." He told her with conviction.

"We'll work something out. I'm not going to hand my daughter over to someone she barely knows."

"You act like it's my fault."

"I never said that! Calm yourself." She told him letting out a heavy sigh. "How did you find out?"

"Besides the fact she looks like me? Joe doesn't have the best poker face. I brought up the fact she looks like me and that she calls Jon her uncle and asked if he knew anything about it. He lied horribly." Colby explained.

"Your fiance know?"

"No, I'm going to tell her once we were done here."

"You think she is going to be accepting of this?" Echo asked. Looking at the redhead she didn't seem to be one to want kids or like anyone intruding on her and Colby's relationship.

"Don't act like you know shit about her, Echo. She'll be fine with it." Colby snarled.

"And if she isn't?" Echo raised a perfectly trimmed eyebrow.

"Fuck you, Echo." He spat.

"You already did that, it would be the reason we are standing here."

Colby's nostrils flared "What did I tell you about the sarcasm?"

"My bad." She gave him the half assed apology. She knew that Colby would never lay his hands on her, so his threat from before isn't really a threat.

"I'll be seeing my child tomorrow, I don't expect any shit from you about it." He got back to business.

"As long as I'm present."

"No, I don't need a babysitter." Colby didn't know what to do with a 3 year old. He is just being stubborn and get his point across he is just as much of a parent as she is.

Echo looked to the ceiling trying to collect herself, yelling at Colby wouldn't get her anywhere. She slowly brought her eyes back to the two toned superstar. "It's either me or Jon, your choice. Until she is completely comfortable being with you I would like a second party present that she knows."

"No, Jinx is m-"

"Stop thinking about yourself and think about Jinx for a second. She doesn't know you that well! It's scary." Echo cut him off.

"Fine, I'll make sure Jon is with us." Colby caved and headed towards the door. "I'm warning you, Echo. If you keep my child from me, I'll take this court and make sure I walk out with full custody." He vowed.
