Hey guys, this is just one chapter of two that I'm posting tonight. I just watched TLC and I need to blow off some steam from that madness. Now I'm thinking about after the next chapter, jumping into time a bit to when Jayde is a year old. Let me know what you guys think!


Today was the day Dean had been dreading since he found out that Jayde was all his now, they were taking her on the road with them. They had worked out everything to take her and keep her entertained backstage but now it was about getting on the road and making sure they had all of her things. They were at the airport going through security when Dean tensed up. He really didn't know what they were going to do with Jayde through security. He knew babies flew on airplanes all the time and it even wasn't Jayde's first time flying, he was still nervous about the whole process.

"You can go ahead and take her out of the seat sir" The older woman at the security checkpoint instructed. He took Jayde out of the car seat as Renee put the car seat up on the belt. He walked through the metal detector as Jayde stayed calmly in his arms looking around at everything.

"I think you are more chill about this than dad is kid" Dean mumbled as Jayde just smiled at him with her hands balled up on his sleeve.

"Of course she is, Daddy is a nervous wreck" Renee said walking through the metal detector and grabbing the car seat off of the belt first.

"It's her first time on the road with me, of course I'm freaking out" Dean said as he put Jayde back in the car seat and helped get the rest of the stuff off as fast as he could.

"She went to Puerto Rico at 2 weeks old, I think she can handle flying to New York" Renee said as she made sure she had everything and they walked towards the gate.

"I'm not thrilled about that trip still, you know I hate Puerto Rico" Dean said taking Renee's free hand and smiling at her.

"Well I'm sure they didn't throw batteries at Jayde, she's a good baby" Renee joked as they made it to the gate and Dean sat the car seat down on the chair next to him.

"Alright kid, we are going to New York. Daddy is going to be on Raw and you are gonna hang out with Renee & Uncle Roman tonight" Dean said as Jayde grinned and kicked her feet.

"See she's excited" Renee said putting her hand on Dean's shoulder with a smile.

"Or she doesn't get what I'm saying and she's just happy Daddy's here" Dean said with a smirk as Renee shook her head. When they called Family Boarding, Dean smiled over at Renee knowing that this was the first time they would be able to actually board with families. He took the short walk to the gate getting the tickets ready. Once they were on the plane, Dean put the car seat in first making sure it was strapped in before sitting in the middle and letting Renee sit in the aisle. When they were settled in, Dean took Renee's hand squeezing it tightly while trying to relax some.

"Relax, it's all gonna work out" Renee said as Dean looked over at her with a sigh.

"I worry about Jayde though" Dean said knowing that he shouldn't worry. Jayde was going to be fine but it still made him nervous that something could happen to her.

"It's only natural, you are her father. You are gonna worry about her still even when she has a baby of her own" Renee said with a smile as Dean shuttered

"That won't happen, she's not dating until she's 30 and I'm in the backseat" Dean mumbled before looking over at Jayde.

They landed a few hours later and Dean was pleasantly surprised, Jayde had been well behaved and even slept for a little bit on the flight. They made their way off the plane and after getting all of their things, made it to the rental car area where Roman was already waiting for them.

"How much does that baby need?" Roman asked with his eyes bugging out at the amount of stuff they had.

"Dean is prepared for anything, even the zombie apocalypse" Renee said setting the car seat down on the chair next to Roman.

"Hey pretty girl, I think your daddy is crazy" Roman said as Jayde let out a coo and started to babble.

"I'm not crazy for making sure she has everything she could ever need" Dean said shaking his head as he went to go rent the car.

"So how are you two doing?" Roman asked as Renee let out a happy sigh.

"Really good actually, we have been doing the whole family thing. My house is on the market and Blue is already staying at Dean's house again" Renee said as she sat down next to the car seat and made sure Jayde didn't need anything.

"That's what Dean said on Halloween. How's the Paige situation?" He asked knowing that they had been trying to serve Paige the papers and they couldn't get in touch with her.

"She was finally served and I feel so bad for the guy who had to do it. They found her in Miami finally and I guess she was a mess. The lawyer says that she has another 45 days before they automatically revoke her rights if she doesn't respond which were thinking she won't. She obviously doesn't want her" Renee said with a sigh as Roman just nodded. He could barely look at Jayde while they talked, he didn't understand how someone could just leave her.

"I'm surprised he is handling all of this so well" Roman said looking over at Dean who was standing in line.

"He has his moments but he's handling it well. I think he knows he has to for Jayde's sake" Renee said as Jayde let out a whine and looked up at Renee.

"Oh you want my attention" Renee said in baby talk as Jayde kicked her feet and smiled. She took Jayde out of the car seat, sitting her on her lap as the baby looked at Roman.

"Well I gotta say Renee, you look the part" Roman said with a smirk as Renee looked down at Jayde.

"I'm trying to, I love this little girl as if she was mine" Renee said kissing Jayde's head as Dean walked over.

"You just had to take the kid out didn't you?" Dean said with a smirk as Renee shook her head leaving Roman to laugh.

They made it to the arena early and Dean walked into his private locker room. They wanted to make sure that there was a place for Jayde while he was in his match and obviously the men's locker room wasn't going to cut it. Renee had gone off to go get her hair and makeup done leaving Dean with Jayde. He walked out of the locker room after changing Jayde and walked over to catering first.

"Alright baby, now Daddy works with some weird people, don't judge" Dean whispered before kissing her cheek.

"Look who made it" Stephanie said walking over to where Dean was standing with her eyes lit up.

"She's so beautiful, how has she been so far?" Stephanie added giving Dean a hug before smiling at Jayde who instantly took to Stephanie.

"Thanks, she's been really good. I think it's because she's used to traveling thanks to… you know" Dean said while gently bouncing Jayde in his arms.

"Yeah, I think this little one is going to be a world traveler before we know it" Stephanie said as she tickled Jayde's foot causing her to giggle.

"Do you want to hold her Steph?" Dean asked as Stephanie instantly nodded taking Jayde from Dean's arms and smiling at her.

"It's been awhile since I've gotten to hold a baby" She said as Dean watched with a grin. Stephanie was always very sweet, despite her character on TV. Once Stephanie was done holding Jayde, she left promising to play with her more during the production meeting later. He walked further in and was bombarded with everyone wanting to see Jayde or play with her. Natalya was the first one to reach him with a grin.

"Oh hello you angel" Nattie said as Dean grinned over at Nattie. He knew that she & Paige had been close when she was around.

"So how has it been?" Nattie asked as Dean smiled over at Jayde who was cooing at Nattie.

"It's been good, a lot of adjusting but we have been getting by. She's such a good baby so she's not a hassle or anything" Dean said as Nattie nodded and touched Jayde's hand.

"I need to talk to you about something when you have a minute" Nattie leaned in whispering as Dean raised an eyebrow in confusion. He walked down the hall leading Nattie to the private locker room.

"So I talked to Paige on Friday" Nattie said looking down at her hands as Dean swallowed hard laying Jayde on her blanket.

"How is she?" Dean asked not knowing really what to say. Nattie was the first person to tell him that they had talked to Paige. He didn't know if she was the only one who Paige trusted or if everyone was lying to him.

"Not good, I ran into her at the grocery store. Alberto wasn't with her or else I don't think he would've let her talk. In all honesty, I think she is on drugs. She looked so strung out that TJ was speechless. She asked about you and Jayde; she wanted me to talk to you" Nattie said as Dean could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He figured Paige was on drugs especially with the new pictures that were turning up online.

"Of course she did" Dean mumbled as Nattie's eyes softened a bit. She knew Dean was angry & he had a right to be.

"She wanted me to tell you that she wants you to understand where she is coming from. I guess she read what Renee had posted and got upset that she was saying things about her.

"Are you kidding me? I actually read what Renee posted that day and it wasn't that bad. She has no right to be upset about a stupid post on Instagram when she abandoned Jayde. Is she jealous that Renee can keep herself together and actually cares about Jayde?" Dean said not believing that Paige was more upset about a post on social media than the little girl she abandoned.

"She's not in her right mind obviously but I think deep down she loves Jayde. I guess she was upset that Renee said that she loved Jayde more than Paige did" Nattie said knowing she wasn't going about this the right way.

"Loves her enough to leave her and never come back for some blow & Alberto" Dean said shaking his head.

"Dean… I'm not trying to defend her but we got the impression that she did this for Jayde. She isn't well Dean and with her on drugs, I bet something bad would've happened. She can't even take care of herself, let alone a baby. Yeah, Alberto was probably most of it but it's better that Jayde is with you" Nattie said as Dean sat down in the chair with his head in his hands.

"I try not to imagine what could've happened to Jayde. I mean with how Paige looks, what if she overdosed with Jayde there? It makes me sick to think about my daughter having to be around while her mother shoots up" Dean said knowing that he didn't know how long Paige was doing drugs but he worried it could've been while she was pregnant or after Jayde was born.

"She made the right choice giving Jayde to you and she knows she made a mistake with how she handled it" Nattie said looking down at Jayde who was completely unaware of what was going on and was more focused on her Minnie Mouse toy.

"I want to believe that Nattie but honestly I don't think she feels like she made a mistake. She chose drugs & Alberto over our child, we've served her with papers and in 45 days, she will lose custody for good. I want to have sympathy but I can't feel sorry for her" Dean said knowing he sounded like a jerk but he was upset. Part of his wanted to feel bad for Paige, his parents were addicts & it took his mom a long time to clean up. It was difficult but his mother never once abandoned him as a kid. He couldn't look at Jayde every day and make excuses for what Paige did.

"I'm not asking you to feel sorry for her, I think you do need to try to understand at least where she is coming from like she asked" Nattie said knowing she wasn't there to start anything with Dean.

"Next time you talk to her, let her know that I don't understand where she is coming from. I would give up anything in this world for Jayde. Hell if life on the road doesn't work out for her, I will retire and raise her. I can't understand how shooting up and Alberto can be more important than my kid" Dean said as Nattie sighed. She left and Dean looked down at Jayde with a sigh.

"Daddy is done with her Jayde. I can't deal with her" Dean said picking Jayde up and holding her to his chest.

Dean came back from the ring that night feeling a lot more relaxed from when he got in there. He did feel bad, AJ Styles felt the brunt of his aggression that time. He walked into the dressing room where Jayde was asleep on the blanket and Renee was looking up at him with an unsure look.

"Was that scripted?" Renee asked as Dean took the tape off of his hands.

"No" Dean said shortly as he took his tank top off, tossing it on the chair. He wasn't ready to talk about anything and

"What's wrong?" She asked concerned knowing that Dean never usually was this angry.

"Just shit with Paige, she doesn't have the balls to talk to us but she talks to Nattie to have her talk to me" Dean said as he sighed knowing he needed to keep his emotions under control, especially with Jayde in the room with them.

"Are you serious? What did she say?" Renee asked shocked. Nattie had been the only person Paige talked to since she left.

"Paige wants me to understand why she did what she did. Nattie thinks she's on drugs which we knew already. I got myself pissed off after everything" Dean said leaning against the wall.

"No, hell no. You have a right to be angry, she most likely did drugs around Jayde and abandoned her" Renee said feeling her own heart starting to race.

"I took it out there instead of leaving it back here" Dean said knowing he did feel a little bad. AJ obviously had nothing to do with it and he went out there cutting his head open.

"You need to say sorry to AJ" Renee mumbled as Dean just nodded before walking into the shower.

"I know" he called out as he went to take a shower. Renee looked over at Jayde who was fast asleep and kissed her head.

"I can't wait until 45 days is up" She said as she bit her lip. She wanted Paige out of the picture because of what it did to Dean.
