Chapter Ten – You Remind Me
The Sandbox
It was Friday afternoon and Cheyenne was being escorted back to the Sandbox by the Calloways. Undertaker, Kane, Garrett and Sara decided to pay the DX family a visit. Now that Cheyenne and Garrett were officially engaged they wanted to bury the hatchet and start preparations for the second biggest wedding of the year. The coming together of the Calloway and Michaels' families was a big deal, not just for the families but for the wrestling world. While everyone loved LC and Cameron and were happy for them, Cheyenne was a wrestler and Garrett was an up and coming Superstar and son of one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, the Undertaker. This marriage meant more to Undertaker than his Wrestlemania winning streak, which would be on the line again this year, only his opponent hadn't been announced yet. As much as he loved Cheyenne, he didn't like Shawn's behavior in all the years that he had known him and he didn't want his history with HBK to get in the way of his son's happiness. Garrett's life was better because of the ARK Angels of DX, if it weren't for them, he would still be a psychotic recluse who liked to dabble in witchcraft. Now he was a Bible loving mark and he was crazy about his old man and that's exactly what the Undertaker wanted and he owed Cheyenne the world for making his son the man that he was now becoming.
"Oh boy," Amy said opening the door and putting her head in her hands as she saw the Calloway family standing behind Cheyenne. "I guess we can't avoid this any longer, come on in guys let's talk about the wedding that nobody wants to happen apart from me,"
Garrett gulped, Amy's honesty made him nervous. He knew he wasn't the kind of man Shawn expected Cheyenne to fall in love with but to hear it from Big Red meant that he was really in a bad situation.
"Looking good Amy," Kane said.
"I know," Amy replied swinging her Big Red hair across her shoulder revealing Gash, her green tattoo meanie that was on her shoulder. "Cheyenne can you go hang with your brother and LC upstairs? They're packing up all their stuff,"
"Are they going back to L.A, is everything okay now did you get rid of the Mafia?" Cheyenne asked Amy.
"The Mafia probably figured out that we weren't coming back to the West Coast right away and the next time we go there we'll take care of them once and for all. As for LC and Cameron they need some privacy, so they're off to Long Island," Amy replied.
"New York? But won't they run into DX all the time, that's where RAW's at," Cheyenne said and Amy shook her head.
"Not from next week, starting this Monday night, RAW will be broadcasting live from Los Angeles, permanently," Amy said.
"So you're gonna drive the Mafia out so that DX can move in," Undertaker said.
"That's right, we're taking the West Coast back and when all is safe and the Mafia are gone, LC and Cameron can return to L.A and buy their dream home right there in their home town," Amy said. "We just gotta take care of some Illuminati/Pope business before they can do that,"
"Can I help you take care of that Illuminati/Pope business?" Cheyenne said enthusiastically.
"Where will you find time to help us fight Il Papa and his council of unsanctified suckups? You need to focus on your wedding Mrs. Calloway," Sara said to her future daughter-in-law, she couldn't wait for Cheyenne to be part of her family.
"I don't see why I can't do both," Cheyenne replied as Sara stroked her face suddenly and Amy almost teared up at seeing the affection between Cheyenne and Sara.
"I don't see why either, of course I'd like to be there to help you kick the Pope's butt," Garrett said to Cheyenne.
"You can't do that, you're not an ARK Angel and you don't have a Gift from God like Shawn and I do, you could get hurt," Amy said to Garrett and the Deadman's son pouted.
"I want a Gift from God," he said and Cheyenne embraced him lovingly.
"Well who knows, He might just give you one," she told him and they kissed sweetly before leaving to go upstairs and help LC and Cameron pack. Sara and Amy smiled as they went.
"They're so happy," Sara said smiling.
"I know they couldn't be a more perfect match," Amy said and DX came inside and saw the Calloway family looking back at them.
"Funny, that's what Vince used to say about us," Hunter said pointing at himself and Shawn. "I don't think he'd say the same thing about your son and Shawn's Phenomenal Girl though,"
Shawn stepped up to the Undertaker with a stern expression on his face, "My daughter is too good for your son, Garrett had done nothing to show me that he is worthy of taking Chey's hand in marriage. However, I do believe that he is a good person and unlike you, he is willing to admit he's got a long way to go before I accept him into this family,"
Undertaker gritted his teeth, "Well unlike you I'm ready to accept your daughter into my family Shawn, your daughter is everything a young man like Garrett could want in a woman; she's strong, talented and beautiful, just like another young Diva I used to know," he said and he paused for a moment before continuing. "You're a great man and a strong Christian, so I know I won't have to worry about anything bad happening if our children get together,"
Shawn frowned at Undertaker, "What do you mean, do you think something bad's gonna happen?" he asked the Deadman. "Is there something you forgot to leave out before your son puts his ring around my daughter's finger?"
Undertaker rubbed his face and shook his head, "No, that's all in the past now. Let's just agree not to let anything stand in the way of our children coming together," Undertaker said and he extended his gloved hand to Shawn and HBK looked at it like it was dirty.
"No I'm not shaking your hand, not until you tell me what you meant by what you said. Is there something bothering you about my daughter and your son being in love Deadman?" Shawn asked the Undertaker.
Everyone was looking at Undertaker questioningly, he was holding back and his face was clearly saying something that his words weren't and Shawn was certain that it was something important.
"Your daughter reminds me of someone, someone that I used to love," Undertaker said and Sara looked away, she knew who he was talking about.
"Mark this isn't the same, things are different now. The curse is broken," Sara said and Shawn was more desperate to know what Undertaker was thinking about now than before.
"What curse, what are you talking about?" Shawn asked Sara and Undertaker.
"The curse that I put on my son when I cheated on my wife with a WWE Diva and I think you know the Diva I'm talking about," Undertaker said and Shawn and Hunter exchanged glances with Amy and Kane.
"What on Earth does she have to do with Cheyenne and Garrett getting married?" Kane asked Undertaker. "That was all your fault, Sara's right this is about two kids falling in love, not a married man cheating on his wife with another woman,"
"That woman was just like Cheyenne brother; she was strong, talented and beautiful and I don't want what happened to her to happen to Cheyenne," Mark said and Shawn gasped in horror.
"You think my daughter's going to get hurt don't you? You think because of what you did all those years ago with that Diva, your son is going to cause my daughter to die. I knew there was a reason why I didn't want my daughter to marry your son and I think I just found it. I'm glad you came over Deadman because now that I know the truth, there's no way in Hell my daughter is going to marry your son," Shawn said and he called for Cheyenne and Garrett to come downstairs with LC and Cameron. There was going to be a family meeting between the Michaels and the Calloways and Shawn and Undertaker would explain to Cheyenne and Garrett exactly why they couldn't get married.
Amy and Sara looked at their husbands with pleading eyes but it was clear from the expressions on their faces that for once, Shawn and Undertaker were both in total agreement on something.
"They're not going to break up because of something that happened decades ago and that had absolutely nothing to do with them," Hunter said and Joanie nodded in agreement.
"Hunter's right, they have to be allowed to make their own decision you two can't make it for them," Joanie said. "They'll hate you for it,"
Shawn and Undertaker didn't reply they waited for all the children to meet them in the living room and when everyone was seated the conversation began. By the end of it Cheyenne was crying and Garrett was furious; firstly the very mention of the affair his father had all those years ago incensed him and secondly having a decision taken out of his hands was grossly unfair to him and Cheyenne.
LC and Cameron were upset to, they didn't want Cheyenne's emotions to be toyed with but they also didn't want her to do anything stupid, like marry the wrong man so they advised her to extend the engagement until the summer instead of getting married in the spring.
"Dad don't you think that I've suffered enough, now you want to lay this on me too?" Garrett said to his father. "Why should my life be ruined because of something that you did? This is something that both Cheyenne and I have already discussed; we both know what it's like when our parents can't make love work. Chey had another take on it though thanks to Shawn,"
"What did you tell Garrett?" Undertaker asked Cheyenne who Shawn was consoling along with Amy, Cameron and LC.
"I told him that I was afraid I might break his heart because mom broke dad's heart when she cheated on him with Kevin Nash. When Garrett told me that his parents almost divorced and it drove him insane I understood where he was coming from but then I told him what God did to change me and my brother for the better. God makes everything better, Jesus fixes everything that was broken and he makes it like brand new, so that's why I said yes when Garrett asked me to marry him. Despite what you went through in your marriage Undertaker and despite what my dad went through with mom, it doesn't mean that Garrett and I are going to suffer as a consequence of that," Cheyenne explained and Amy and Sara nodded. "There is no curse, it's all in your head and it's all in the past,"
"That's exactly right, you and Sara are still married and Shawn and I have the best marriage in the world, it's so good that the Pope wants to destroy it because he's sad and pathetic and no woman in their right mind would ever want to marry him. Cheyenne isn't going to break your heart Garrett and I don't think there's any way you'd ever cheat on her, especially since Shawn and I have Righteous Indignation and she's an ARK Angel of DX, but most importantly, because you love her, right?" Amy asked Garrett.
"I don't know maybe my dad's right; maybe I'd drag you down to my level, as low as it is. I'll never be the moral man of honor that you want me to be, not with my dad's blood running through me. Your father's right Chey, this isn't going to work. Let's just call it off before we make a hideous mistake," Garrett said and he ran off in tears while Cheyenne cried into her hands. As Garrett fled from sight in shame Shawn knew that he was wrong and as usual Amy was right.
"That's the man for you Chey, don't worry I'll make sure you marry each other as planned," Shawn said and Undertaker looked at Shawn surprised while Amy and Sara smiled.
"You seriously still want your daughter in my family after what we just told each other?" Undertaker said.
"They're not marrying us Deadman, they're marrying each other and what they need is our support not our mistakes. Let's help them make it, the way that we both did," Shawn said and he tiptoed up to the Deadman's 6ft 10 inch frame and whispered in Undertaker's ear. "But the minute I think my daughter's no longer on your best wishes list, you're the one who's gonna be resting in peace, understand?"
"Understood," Undertaker said. "The same to you Shawn, I want my son to have someone other than me to look up to, even if that means you have to stand on your tiptoes to meet his eye line,"
Shawn laughed and they both shook hands, "So it's settled the wedding goes ahead as planned. We're gonna get Garrett back here, sit tight Chey everything's going to be alright sweetheart," Shawn said and he left with Undertaker after kissing Cheyenne and restoring her joy with his Kiss of Life. She felt better instantly and she was back in wedding mode much to LC and Cameron's relief.
"Alright now that's over, come and finish helping us pack up our stuff before Aurora and Beth get home from school and take us to Long Island," LC said and Cameron and Cheyenne left to go back upstairs while the adults finished the conversation amongst themselves.
"Garrett sure is pale, you'd think all that time he spent growing up in Texas he'd have the same complexion as you Sara," Hunter said to Mrs. Calloway.
"Well I'd say the same thing about you, after all the time you spend hanging around with HBK, I'd think you'd know how to make your daughter smile the way he made Cheyenne smile yet you consistently without fail embarrass your kids, without fail every single day. How do you do it Hunter?" Sara asked Triple H sarcastically and Kane laughed.
"How do I do what?" Hunter replied and he looked at his watch, "Oh snap I forgot I have to pick up Hayworth from Waterside,"
"Hunter that's a fake watch, you got it out of the Cheerios' box this morning," Joanie said looking at the watch on Hunter's wrist. "It doesn't even have hands!"
"So that's what Hayworth meant when he called me a bonehead over breakfast, I thought he meant it as a compliment," Hunter said and he left to pick up his son while Sara shook her head.
"He's not really a bonehead is he?" she asked Joanie. "This is just all part of his DX shtick, right?"
"That's what I used to think but now I know this is how Hunter actually is, I just hope Hayworth can accept it, our son is a genius, he needs someone to look up to," Joanie said.
"So are most of our kids, God sure has a sense of humor," Amy said relieved that Cheyenne and Garrett's wedding was still on and that Undertaker and Shawn were working together to make both families far better instead of far worse.
