Present Day
Watching them drive off, Sara closed the door to, never again could she be near him, the violence in which he lashed out shocked her, would her children be safe with him, at one time she thought yes no problem, saying that his anger was aimed at her not the girls. He seemed to have lost that special relationship he had with them, where at times they wanted him more than her, she loved how close they were to their dad. Really they were daddy's girls always had been always will be, they were just confused with all that was happening. It was too quiet in the house, going into Chasey's room she was surprised they weren't there, checking in Gracie's they weren't there either, her heart started to beat faster, rushing through the various bedrooms, hers included they were not where to be found. Shouting their names she ran downstairs where were they? Had they sneaked out to the back?. Turning she noticed the door to the cellar open, smiling she knew where they would be. Tip toeing down, her heart broke, there they were fast asleep cuddled together in their dad's boxing ring, right in the middle of his Taker's sign. Their teddies in their arms, the ones Mark had got them both when they were born, white bears dressed as him with property of deadman Inc on the hoddies they wore.
Tears ran down her face, they missed him just as much as she did, they looked so small so lost. Silently crying she let it all come out, the hurt of losing him to her, why couldn't she get over him, WHY?.
2006
She had spoken to Mark a lot on the phone since he went back to work, after his vacation. He had been a full hands on dad whilst off, loving the time with the family.
"Mummy can I call daddy"
"Of course sweetheart, let me get the phone" dialling the number for Chasey, she waited until it started ringing, handing it to her, she went to feed Gracie.
"Hello darlin"
"Hi Daddy"
"Well hello little one, and may I ask what I have done that is so good that you are calling me?"
"Daddy, I wanted to say I love you and miss you" his heart melted, he missed them all too.
"Well sweetheart daddy misses you and Gracie too"
"And Mummy?"
"Of course and mummy, we can't leave mummy out can we, so what are you doing?"
"silly daddy I'm taking to you" he laughed, forgetting how quick kids could be, with their straight answers.
"What's mummy doing then"
"She's feeding Gracie, don't tell I told you, but she sleeps in your t shirt at night and on your side of the bed, I think she misses you like I do"
"Well daddy misses you too, I have spoken with Uncle Vince and he says it's ok for you all to come out and stay with me for a few weeks would you like that"
"YES!" pulling the phone away from his ear as she screeched down It, well that idea certainly went down well, he hoped Sara didn't mind him telling her.
"Darlin, can you go get mummy and put her on the phone please" waiting he could hear Gracie shouting daddy, as well as Chasey getting all excited, as she handed the phone to Sara. God he missed the happiness of it all.
"Hey baby, what have you said to Chasey, she's jumping around like a jack in the box"
"Hi darlin, I told her you lot can come out and stay for a few weeks just cleared it all with Vince"
"oh Mark that's fantastic, I need to pack, organsie the airline, oh god it will be so good to be with you, hold you"
"baby girl calm down a little, you're worse than Chasey"
"I can't help it baby I get to be with you on tour, when all those women swoon as you ride down on the ramp on your bike. I'm the one who gets to take you home each night, and fuck you"
"I love it when you use those words baby, gets me hot" his voice had dropped lower.
"When do you want us with you Mark?"
"How soon can you get sorted darlin and get your cute little ass out here?"
"Tomorrow"
"Impatient little mite aren't ya? Ok sweetheart I will get you on the next available flight all of ya. Give me ten minutes to sort and I will call you back. Love you darlin, all off you"
"We love you to baby bye"
Present Day
"I'm sorry darlin"
Turning round Sara was shocked to see Mark standing at the bottom of the cellar steps, how the hell had he got in, seeing his key in his hand, she must not have bolted the door.
"What do you want now Mark, another slanging match, or may be to hit me around some more?"
"No baby, I came to say I am sorry" walking to her, he moved her face to his taking In the damage he had done to her it, at times he never knew his own strength, his finger gentle touched the swollen cheek, slapping his hand away from her, she backed away.
"Don't touch me Mark, you lost the privilege of touching me when you signed those papers" Looking behind him her eyes going up the stairs
"Where is she?"
"I took her home, we need to talk" his hands ran through his hair, it was more auburn now, but still long, she use to love running her finger through it as he made love to her. Wiping her tears away, she turned to the girls.
"How long they been there" it ripped his heart out seeing them all so broken, he had done this to his family, not Sara, not Chasey or Gracie, they had done nothing wrong he knew that now, he could see it clearly as the nose on his face. He was the one who had fucked up, completely and utterly fucked up and he had no idea how to mend it.
"Since I sent them away to their room, they miss you so much Mark, they are hurting bad"
"Like you darlin, you are hurting just as much as those two, even more so as you have to hold it together" shaking his head, he looked up to the ceiling, placing his hands in his pockets, hell if he kept them out he would pull her into his arms and never let her go.
"I gotta go, I just wanted to say I am sorry, sorry for hitting you, sorry for shouting at you, sorry for every hurt I put you through over these last 12 months. More sorry than you will ever know darlin" he walked back up the stairs, just as he reached the top she called him
"Mark is it true?"
"Is what true darlin?"
"Is Michelle pregnant with your child?"
"Yes Sara it's mine" hearing her voice break as she tried to control the tears, he kept walking up the last two stairs out of the kitchen, out of the house, out of her life. If he had stayed a second longer he would have ran back down those stairs pulled her into his arms and fucked her senseless.
2006
The flight touched ground in New York where the tour was stationed for a few days, Sara told Mark they would meet him at the arena. Grabbing their luggage she quickly ushered the girls into a cab, and headed to the stadium.
"Sara, hey there love it's good to see you, wow the girls have shot up" hugging Glenn she asked where Mark was, it felt good to be backstage, the smells and atmosphere, most of the gang knew her and the girls so they had been stopped a few times on their way to find him.
The stage crew were setting it all up for the fans later that night, she could see the ring from the ramp, looking at it she noticed her husband with a blonde woman, so that was who he had been talking about. Happily she headed down with the girls.
"Daddy, Daddy" Mark looked up smiling there stood his family it was good to see them.
"Chasey. Gracie" jumping out of the ring he pulled the girls into his arms, picking them both up. He waited for Sara to join him, bending he took her mouth under his, sliding his tongue inside tasting her thoroughly.
"Hi baby girl, Sara I want you to meet someone, this is Michelle" looking up a big smile on her face, she said hello, shocked to see the venom pouring from this woman, what had she done to deserve that.
"Nice to meet you Michelle" her eyes were cold, looking at her as if Sara was moving in on something that belonged to her.
"Michelle I want you to meet my family. My beautiful wife Sara, and my gorgeous daughters Chasey and Gracie" Mark was oblivious to what Sara had seen, he was too enthralled by his family.
"Mark if they are here will that mean I will be spending less time with you, after all we have been on our own together 24/7 this last week" Mark looked at her confused, they had been working on her falls, with two of the other wrestlers, why was she making it out as if they had, Oh god no, looking at Sara he could see the innuendo that Michelle was hinting at had hit home. What the hell was she playing at.
"Michelle I think you need to go shower I will talk to you later" as she walked passed Sara she shot her a look, that clearly said I am going to get your husband. Sara stood her ground not letting this kid, frighten her yet deep inside she had, her thoughts were everywhere had she been working one on one with Mark, and had it just been in the ring.
"Sara darlin get those thoughts out of your damn head, I would never look at another woman darling, I love you and the girls too much, to risk my marriage , by fucking around on you. Come here baby girl" placing the girls in the ring, he pulled his wife to him letting her feel with his actions how much he missed her. One thing he knew he was going to speak to Michelle tomorrow, no way was she upsetting his wife.
