Chapter 10

Little Lucy

'One... Two... Three!' the audience chanted before bursting into a thunderous cheering fit, followed by the bell that rang three times.

Ignoring the pain that he had sustained during this long match, Brad managed to get up his feet after he had managed to pin down his opponent after he had hit his finisher on him. He barely could believe it... it was finally going to happen, after all this time! Dear God, he had the feeling he was dreaming.

'Here are your winners, and the new number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championships...' Lilian Garcia proudly announced. 'The team of Brad Maddox and Adam Rose!'

Immediately after the proud announcement, the theme song of the two men was heard through the entire arena, sealing the victory for them. Adam, who had been standing behind the ropes for a while during the important match, entered the ring with a huge grin on his face. Finally, after two long years... he couldn't be any more proud of his husband. When he saw Brad hitting his finisher on Titus O'Neil, he knew that this was going to be it. The victory they had been hoping to get for so long. And that victory finally arrived when the referee hit the floor of the ring for the third time. Adam walked towards his tag team partner/real life husband and immediately put his arm around his shoulder, both looking right into the camera and cheering as loud as they could. They could possibly be the next Tag Team Champions and everyone who was watching had the right to know how happy they were with this opportunity.

Brad quickly glanced at the commentary team's table, where the current Tag Team Champions, Viktor and Konnor, had taken place. They didn't look too pleased with the tag team's victory, glaring at them with the two bronze titles resting on their laps. Brad pointed at the titles and declared that they would be theirs soon, causing Konnor and Viktor to mockingly chuckle; but Brad was sure that he and Adam were the ones who were going to get the last laugh. Together with his husband he exited the ring and walked towards the ramp, followed by a camera to film that one perfect shot. The entire audience still cheered them on; finally there was a team who might be able to take down the notorious Ascension and end their reign over the tag team division. Turning right, Brad and Adam exited the arena, disappearing out of everybody's sight.

Even when the couple emerged from the thick, black curtains and entered the backstage section, the grins seemed to refuse to leave their faces. They were so happy, it had lasted two long years before they finally got their opportunity to get their hands on the titles. They both remembered that day like it was yesterday. After they were into their marriage for one week, Vince decided to team the two men up, forming the first husband-and-husband tag team in the history of the WWE. Brad and Adam received their fair share of support from their fans, all of them hoping they would go far in the future. And of course, to nobody's surprise, the haters hoped their careers would turn into a complete failure and that the WWE would release them soon. But it turned out they were proven all wrong. After two years of wrestling various matches, Brad and Adam received that one call they had been waiting for so long. Vince had finally decided it was time for them to have a shot at the Tag Team Championships. Adam swore he would never forget the twinkle he saw in his husbands eyes when they heard the news. And now that they had defeated the Prime Time Players, the chance that they would become the next Tag Team Champions was huge.

It didn't last long for the Prime Time Players to arrive at the backstage section as well. Both men looked tired and beaten, but they were glad that they were able to give the audience some great entertainment.

'Hey, Titus!' Brad said. 'No hard feelings, right?'

'Nah, don't worry about that.' Titus smiled and shook his head. 'You have deserved it, it was about time you guys got a shot.'

'I can think of somebody who can't be any more proud of you two!' Darren said.

Both Brad and Adam knew exactly who Darren meant by saying that. Just then, they heard rapid footsteps heading towards them.

'Daddy, daddy!' the voice of a little girl called out. Turning around, Brad and Adam saw the person who was more than eager to congratulate them on their victory.

It was none other than their adopted daughter Lucy.

Adam, who was more fond of his daughter than anything else, immediately went down on his knees. 'There you are, flower!' he exclaimed cheerfully. Lucy ran right into her father's arms, giggling as she felt his strong arms wrapping around her waist. She was only five years old and was little bit short for her age, but there was without a doubt a lot of strength in her hug, she was that happy.

'I have seen it all, daddy!' Lucy said. 'I have watched it all on TV! Now you are going to win the titles, right?'

With a big smile on his face, Brad stared at the adorable sight. That little girl right there, with the long dark brown curly hair, those big green eyes, her glasses with a pink trim and wearing a pink jacket with a purple dress, white stockings and purple shoes right over there was their daughter; little Lucy Marie Rose.

There wasn't a day that went by where he didn't think of his daughter, who was sitting at home with her baby sitter, waiting for her daddies to come home. They would talk to her every day on Skype after a show had ended; Brad would ask her if she had finished doing her homework, Adam asked her if she was invited to any birthday parties from classmates. Two years ago, the couple had decided that it was time for them to have a child, to complete their image of a perfect little family. Brad had to admit, he was a bit reluctant at first to have a child due to their insanely busy working schedules, he would feel horrible if their child would have to spend most of his or her childhood without his or her parents around. But in the end, they decided to have a child anyway. They were determined to give him or her a warm, loving childhood, busy work schedule or not; they would always be present in their child's life. Brad would remember the day they picked up their daughter at the orphanage for the rest of his life. There she was, little three-year old Lucy, standing in the hallway holding a plush bunny and a small suitcase with her very few belongings in it. The couple had heard of the girl's saddening story; she was the result of reckless sexual experimenting of two teenagers, who had immediately put her up for adoption after she was born. This child deserved a second chance, there was no doubt about it. Lucy was so shy at first when she arrived at her new home; she barely spoke, cried a lot and didn't sleep well at night. But as time went on, she finally managed to crawl out of her shell and with the love and warmth of her daddies (who had decided to take some time off from the WWE so that they could spend more time with their daughter), she grew into a fun-loving girl who loved to read, party and the color pink. Even if they weren't her real parents, Brad and Adam felt like this was truly their own daughter. But after a while, it was time for the couple to hit the road again; they had to earn money to take of Lucy, after all. It was really tough to not be with their daughter, but tonight, they were in luck. Tonight they were having a show in the city they lived, giving them finally the time to be with their daughter.

'Sorry Adam, we really couldn't hold her back!' Natalya, accompanied by Cesaro, approached the two fathers. 'You should've seen her when she saw you two winning, she was ecstatic!' the Canadian Diva laughed.

'It's okay.' Brad replied. 'Thanks for watching her for this time, you guys.'

'You're welcome.' Cesaro replied. 'We had fun, didn't we Lucy?'

The little girl excitedly nodded. 'Uh-huh, we sure did! Cesaro read me one of my favorite stories!'

Just then, Brad and Adam noticed that the Swiss was holding a book. He handed it over to the former General Manager of Raw. It was the classic story of 'Alice's Adventures In Wonderland'. 'There you go.' Cesaro said. 'I can tell she loves this story, she knew every single word that was written!'

'Oh, do you, now?' Adam asked Lucy, standing back up on his feet and still holding the little girl in his strong arms. Lucy once again nodded in excitement. 'You think you can read it for me later, daddy?' she asked.

'Of course, flower! I would love to!'

'Hey, what about me, young lady?' Brad asked jokingly. 'I thought I was the one who had to read you stories!'

'Well yeah, I know that, daddy...' Lucy said. 'But this time I want daddy to read it, you have had your turn many times already!'

Everyone laughed at the answer. Ah, the sweet innocence of a young child, it could be hilariously cute sometimes.

'But daddy...' the little girl suddenly said. 'You haven't really won the titles yet... when will you win it?'

Brad smiled and kissed Lucy on the forehead. 'Don't worry about that, princess.' he reassured her. 'We will win it soon enough. Isn't that right, Adam?'

'You're right about that, Braddy.' the party animal replied, smiling at Brad. 'We're gonna win it for our little girl here.'

Lucy giggled. 'I know you can do it. You are the best wrestlers in the world, after all!'

Her daddies would always be her heroes... no matter what would happen.

And that my friends was 'Are You Mine?'! I wanted to make a sequel to 'Do I Wanna Know?' for a long while and I have to say, it feels great to be back! I have been quite busy with work and other stuff lately, so I'm very glad that I was able to write this in my spare time. Now that this story is over, I am planning on writing a fanfic which will include a certain lunatic we all know and love ;D Thank you all for reading, faving, following and reviewing! See you next time!
