Smackdown
Since The Shield is in yet another 11 on 3 handicap match they had to eliminate some of their competition, Lily also had noticed a change in Dean over the past few days and she knew he was angry. As much as he tried to hide it she saw right through him
"Uncle Dean, are you ok?" Lily asked.
Dean took a few deep breaths before answering his niece because he knew how she got when he's mad.
"I'm just fine sweetheart i promise just a bit stressed". Dean said.
"Uncle Dean...i'm scared". Lily said.
Dean then bent down to her level holding her shoulders.
"Why are you scared sweetheart?" Dean asked.
"What if they get me? They could get me and use me against you guys". Lily said scared.
"They're not going to hurt you sweetheart i promise". Dean said.
Seth and Roman bent down to her level as if they were her big brothers who always looked out for their own.
"Listen munchkin nobody and we mean nobody is ever going to hurt you again or they'll answer to us, we won't ever let anybody hurt you at all". Seth said.
"There right baby girl nobody in that locker room or anywhere else won't ever hurt you not before going through us first, if anyone hurts you they answer to us". Roman said.
"Nobody will ever mess with you sweetheart". Dean said.
Lily then hugged Dean tightly clutching the back of his tank top burying her face in the front of it, Dean could just hold her and rub her back soothingly. They had to leave her with the divas again so they can go continue their attacks but just as they got to the divas locker room Lily pulled on Dean's hand stopping the three men.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" Dean asked.
"I don't want you to go out". Lily said.
"Nothing's gonna happen to us sweetheart i promise, we'll be fine". Dean said.
"Don't leave me Uncle Dean". Lily whispered.
"Come here sweetheart". Dean said.
Dean's heart shattered at hearing his niece beg him not to leave her so he brought her into his arms hugging her tightly to his chest stroking her hair, Lily hugged her uncle and buried her face into his neck he then gently pulled her back and when she looked down he gently pulled her chin up and looked into her eyes.
"Sweetheart what do i always tell you". Dean said gently.
"That there's nothing to be afraid of". Lily said.
"And". Dean said.
"You'll always come and get me when you're done". Lily said.
"As long as you stay with who i leave you with nothing won't happen to you at all, nobody'll ever hurt you not as long as we're around. And as soon as were finished i'll come get you myself". Dean said.
"Promise?" Lily asked.
"I promise". Dean said.
"Ok". Lily said.
"That's my girl". Dean said.
Dean noticed that Lily might be going through separation anxiety so he's gonna look into that, but just as he went to leave again Lily latched onto him from behind hugging him.
I love you Uncle Dean". Lily said.
"I love you too sweet pea". Dean said.
"Be careful please". Lily said.
"I always am sweetie". Dean said.
Dean then kissed her head one last time and headed out leaving Lily with the girls.
Their first attack was Swagger, than 3MB, and now Brad Maddox, they continued this for a little bit to eliminate some of their competition for the main event tonight. Their next target was Fandango.
Ring
Fandango was the latest one on the hit list to attack so just as he was out at the ramp Layla had slowly backed away just as he turned around and saw the shield looking at him with dangerous glares and they began the attack on him then once he was down they set him up for the triple power bomb and power bombed him right through a table off of the ramp then held their fist out together.
They then head backstage and Dean goes to get his niece so he can spend at least some time with her before this handicap match later, when he gets to the divas' locker room he knocks and waits for someone to let him in and Brie opens it.
"Hey Dean". Brie said.
"Hey Brie is Lily ready". Dean replied.
"Yeah come in". Brie said.
Brie then lets Dean in the locker room and saw the other girls either doing Lily's hair or her nails, it brought a smile to Dean's face because Lily has finally opened up to somebody else who isn't him, Seth, or Roman and that is the best thing he could ask the other girls looked over and saw Dean they finished up and let Lily go over to her uncle.
"Uncle Dean". Lily said excitedly.
"Hey munchkin you ready to go back to the hideout for a while". Dean said.
"Will i come back?" Lily asked.
"Yeah right before my match starts i'll bring you right back". Dean said.
They bid their goodbyes for now then on the way back they ran into Dolph who sometimes watched Lily.
"Hey Dean, what's up short stuff". Dolph said.
"Hey Dolph". Dean said.
"Hi". Lily said.
"So Dean a few of us were planning on going out later after the show you guys want in". Dolph said.
"I don't know Dolph i have to have someone watch Lily". Dean said.
"It's alright but if you can make it let us know". Dolph said.
"Alright". Dean said.
"See you later short stuff". Dolph said.
"Bye Dolph". Lily said.
They continued to walk back to the hideout when Lily spoke up.
"Uncle Dean you could go out tonight i'd be alright by myself". Lily said.
"I'd prefer that you stay with someone sweetheart". Dean said.
"Could i come with you then?" Lily asked.
"Oh no sweetheart this place isn't for kids but hey maybe on my next day off we can do something just the two of us what do you say". Dean said.
"It's a date". Lily said.
Dean then threw his arm around her shoulders and continued to the hideout, Seth and Roman were in the hallway talking then Lily ran up to them hugging them.
"Hey sweet pea". Seth said.
"Hey baby girl". Roman said.
"Where's your uncle?" Seth asked.
"I'm right here guys". Dean said coming up.
Dean then came up and swiftly rubbed Lily's head and she smiled up at him.
"Hey sweetheart why don't you go wait for us while i talk to the guys alright we'll be in, in a couple minutes alright". Dean said.
"Alright". Lily said.
Dean then kissed her head and she went in the room and once she was out of earshot he began.
"Where you been man we were getting worried". Roman said.
"I ran into Dolph he said a bunch of the guys are getting together after the show to grab a drink and said we could go". Dean said.
"Awesome i could use a night off". Roman said.
"Why do i sense a but coming". Seth said.
"But i need someone to watch Lily and i don't know who". Dean said.
"Couldn't you leave her with AJ and Paige for the night or until you're finished?" Seth asked.
"That sounds like a good idea but i really haven't gone out since i gotten Lily so this'll be a bit different". Dean said.
"You sound like a parent". Seth commented.
"I'm still learning the whole parenting thing as i go along". Dean said.
"It takes time Dean but you seem to be doing fine and you have been working hard both here and taking care of Lily so i think you deserve a night off". Roman said.
"But what if she needs me?" Dean asked.
"I'm pretty sure that AJ or Paige will call you if something goes wrong, she'll be fine Dean it'll be for an hour tops two at the most". Roman said.
"You make it sound easy Rome". Dean said.
"I do have a child it's not rocket science, all you do is leave your number, set her some rules, set her a bedtime, if anything goes wrong i'm sure they'll call you". Roman said.
"Have you ever went out and had to be called home early?" Dean asked.
"A couple times". Roman said.
"I just don't wanna screw this up, i screwed up once by not being the brother i was suppose to be and not protecting my sister but i won't screw this up i won't". Dean said.
Roman knew where this was going so he wanted to talk to Dean by himself.
"Seth could you go in the room with Lily i have to talk to Dean". Roman said.
"Sure". Seth said.
Seth then went in the room leaving Roman to talk to his other friend.
"Being a parent or guardian for the first time isn't going to be very easy that's why you have people to help you". Roman said.
"I'm just so use to doing stuff by myself i never asked for help". Dean said.
"Have you ever taken care of Lily before? By yourself?" Roman asked.
"A couple times but they were over night things not permanently i was always so use to having help from...Grace. She'd always help me if i messed up she was the one who taught me how to take care of Lily, if i needed help she'd be there to help me. I don't know if i can do this without her Roman, Lily needs her mother Roman. I need my sister back". Dean said breaking down.
It was hard to see Dean break down for the first time since he was the type of person to keep his emotions bottled up and let them out in the ring but to actually see him breaking down like this killed Roman on the inside.
"Hey Lily is doing great with you Dean she is ever since she came with you she opened up it took her a while but she opened up to you. And Grace would be damn proud of you man you stepped up to raise her child not many other people would have did that but you did, you took on the role of being the guardian and doing it for the first time you are doing a great job. It's not easy at first trust me i know but when we first saw you with Lily you did a damn good job for a first timer. And Dean you can do this, you can raise Lily you're not alone in this you have me, Seth, Jimmy, Jey, the divas, hell you probably got this entire roster to help you, you're not alone in this Dean. You and Lily are not alone anymore you have us and we always look out for family. Grace would be proud of you and Lily". Roman said.
It took everything in Dean to not bust out crying so instead he swallowed the lump in his throat and wiped his eyes to remove any evidence that his eyes were watering, he's trying to remain strong for the sake of Lily's sake because he didn't want her to see him cry he didn't want nobody to see him cry. He then cleared his throat regaining his posture.
"You good now man?" Roman asked.
"Yeah i'm good now". Dean said.
"Good because now we have a match to go out for". Roman said.
Seth then came out with Lily so they can head out for their match, Lily grabbed a hold of her uncle's hand as he took her back to the divas' locker room and he figured he could ask AJ and Paige if they would mind keeping Lily for at least a couple of hours while he went out. Once he dropped Lily off with the girls he quickly kissed her head then went out for his match.
Ring
"This is a 5 on 3 handicap match". Lillian said.
She introduced the rest of the superstars that are in the match, after they got on their side The Shield's music hit and they come down together.
"And their opponents weighing 707 pounds The Shield". Lillian said.
They hop over the barricade and glare at the other superstars who they are facing and they start the match off.
(Skips time)
Half of the match has gone by then Barrett and Del Rio take off leaving behind their other teammates, Roman then tagged in Seth and he jumped back letting Dean tag him as he goes and flies over the top rope landing on top of Ryback. Dean and Seth are in the ring together and they jump back on the back ropes and fly over the top ropes knocking down Titus and Sandow while Barrett and Del Rio continued walking up the ramp then out of no where Roman had superman punched Del Rio. The trio then turned their attention back to the remaining competitors who they still had to face, Dean was the legal man against Sandow. Seth kept Sandow occupied while Dean and Roman formulated a plan then once he turned around Dean had ran and hit him with a dropkick then Roman speared him winning the match.
"The winners of the match The Shield". Lillian said.
They then turned their attention towards Titus and Ryback, they went for Titus first Seth and Dean threw him in the ring for Roman to spear him, they then went to go get Ryback and threw him in the ring for Roman to spear him and finally they triple powerbomb Ryback holding their fist out standing united.
Once they were finished they quickly showered and changed into some decent clothes so they could go out for at least a couple of hours but since Dean has Lily he can't go overboard with anything. He then goes to get Lily from the divas but is going to ask AJ and Paige if they would mind keeping an eye on Lily for a couple of hours, he gets there and AJ is there with Lily as they are talking.
"Hey Dean". AJ said.
"Hi AJ, hey sweet pea". Dean said.
"Hi Uncle Dean". Lily said.
"AJ i need a favor if you could help me out". Dean said.
"Sure". AJ said.
"Me and a few guys are going out tonight would you and Paige mind keeping an eye on Lily". Dean asked.
"Sure we'd love to". AJ said.
"Thanks AJ". Dean said.
They then went out to the parking lot so Dean can give AJ, Lily's bag that has her stuff in it, he then gave AJ his phone number along with Seth's and Roman's, he went over what to do with Lily. Once AJ got everything he bent down to Lily's level and put his hands on her shoulders.
"Alright sweetheart i'll be gone for an hour tops two at the most so listen to AJ and Paige, don't give them a hard time, go to bed after you change into your pajamas, if you need me have either AJ or Paige call me alright". Dean said.
"Alright Uncle Dean". Lily said.
"That's my girl". Dean said.
Dean then kissed her head a few times and she kissed his cheek, Dean then got in the car with Seth, Roman, Dolph, and Jericho. Seth is the designated driver for the others but he will still have some fun. Lily got strapped in AJ's car with the two women in the front and drove back to the hotel, it was a short drive back to the hotel and they headed up to the room Lily then changed for bed while AJ and Paige decided to watch some movies that are kid approved, once the girls were changed they turned the movies on. During the second half of the second movie Lily was passed out on the bed with a blanket covering her, AJ and Paige continued to watch movies in case Dean came back to get Lily that night. It's been a couple of hours since Dean had left Lily with AJ and while the two women were watching a movie they heard whimpering coming from Lily so they tried to wake her up from the dream but couldn't which caused her to whimper more, Lily then started crying and after a couple of minutes she awoke with tears streaming down her face begging for Dean to come back so while AJ consoled the young child Paige called Dean.
Bar
Some of the guys are all drinking beers except Seth, they are playing games of pool, talking, laughing, having a great time. It's only been a couple of hours since Dean left his niece with AJ and Paige, so far so good until he heard his phone buzz with Paige's number he took the call outside so he could hear.
-Yeah Paige, is everything alright? Dean answered.
-It's Lily, she had a nightmare and she's begging for you to come back. Paige said.
-I'm on my way back Paige i should be there soon. Dean said.
-Alright. Paige said.
Dean then hung the phone up and rushed back inside to grab Seth and Roman who were confused by his actions.
"What's wrong Dean?" Seth asked.
"It's Lily, she had a nightmare and wants me to go back to the hotel". Dean explained.
"Let's go". Seth said.
He grabbed the car keys while Roman paid the tab, they all then gathered in the car heading back to the hotel. Dean's heart is racing wondering about his young niece and if she's still alright, they have arrived back at the hotel and once the car completely stopped Dean jumped out running in the hotel like a mad man running towards the elevator repeatedly pushing the button to make it go faster and once it dinged he got on and pushed the floor that AJ stayed on and it was the longest ride ever. He finally got there and since they stayed on the same floor he knew that her room was probably close to his and he found it so he knocked on the door till Paige answered.
"Come in she's with AJ". Paige said.
Dean went in and saw that Lily was crying her eyes out in AJ's shoulder blade then when the other woman saw Dean in the room and tapped Lily's shoulder and she turned around to see her uncle standing by Paige.
"Uncle Dean". Lily cried walking to him.
Dean then picked her up and told the two women that he had it under control now he thanked them and said good night, Lily continued to cry in Dean's neck as they walked back to the room once there Dean can figure out what Lily's nightmare was about.
"Alright sweetheart what was your nightmare about?" Dean asked.
"Y-you d-died and i was left all alone". Lily cried.
"Aw sweetheart come here". Dean said.
Lily then wrapped her uncle into a hug burying her face in his neck again crying uncontrollably while he calmed her.
"Shh sweetheart shh it's ok, it's alright now sweetie everything's gonna be ok alright everything's gonna be just fine ok. Shh baby shh everything's gonna be just fine ok. I'm right here and i'm not going anywhere, I've got you baby I've got you". Dean soothed.
Lily had finally calmed down and Dean wiped her face off then looked her in the eye and began talking to her.
"I'm not going anywhere sweetheart not now not ever, nothing and nobody will ever keep me from being with you alright". Dean said.
"Ok". Lily said.
"Come on time for bed". Dean said.
Dean then tucked in Lily as she slowly drifted off to sleep.
"G'night Uncle Dean". Lily said sleepy.
"Sweet dreams sweetheart". Dean whispered.
Dean then kissed her head then changed for bed himself, once he was finished he texted Roman and Seth that Lily was fine and that he'd see them in the morning. He then got in next to his niece and pulled her close to his side wrapping a protective arm around her kissing her head one last time.
"Sleep tight sweetie". Dean whispered.
Dean then fell asleep with his niece curled into his side gripping some of his shirt.
