Season 3 Episode 11 Congratulations Son
Denver Co,
Jonathan was enjoying his time off. It was spring break for Karla and Carmen the family decided to go to Denver, Colorado to celebrate Jonathan parents wedding anniversary. 55 years of love. It had also been a year since he seen his nieces and nephews along with his siblings.
"I hope you and James can get along this time." Candice says as she unhooks Carmen from her booster seat.
"I am just going to ignore him that's all." Jonathan says as he help the driver unload the suitcases.
James was Jonathan's older brother. Both were tall and good looking men but Jonathan's features stood out among the both of them. Above all else, Jonathan had a wonderful personality; James on the other hand, was a bully. Janelle, their only sister was the middle sibling and she was more out going and fun. She too had her dealings with her older brother but Jonathan was somewhat always there to protect her.
"Nanna!" Both Karla and Carmen ran to their grandmother.
"Girls don't run or you will fall!" Candice yells walking up the steps to in her laws.
Janelle smiles. "Yeah, this coming from a woman who's pregnant and walking in heels. I can't believe you let him knock you up again."
Jonathan laughs. "What can I say? I lay the pipe down."
"Ewww!" Janelle punches him in the shoulder. "Gross."
"Happy birthday." Jonathan kisses his big sister on the cheek. "Your 80'th b day present." He jokes.
Janelle was tall as well standing 5'9 nothing but a solid tone body and brown hair, married with two kids. Dylan and Michele named after her sister in law, Candice.
"This is...Ahhhh! Awesome thanks bro!"
She like Candice was a fan of Louis Vuittion so a huge LV bag artsy MM in purple was the perfect fit for his sister. "You're welcome."
"Always spending the big money huh little bro?"
Everyone had turn to see James leaning up against the wall wearing a gray leather jacket, navy blue sweater black jeans and boots. James dark slick back hair and 5 o'clock shadow.
Jonathan smiles. "Hey James."
Karla runs to her uncle. "Uncle James, can we play soft ball out in the back."
He smiles and leans down towards here. "It too cold out Kay, how about when I come down to Jacksonville?"
She smiles."Okay." And leaps into his arms. "I love you Uncle James."
"Love you too baby girl."
Just then James senior, come from out back. "Food is almost done! Are those my girls?"
"Paw paw!" All four grandkids run to their grandfather.
Jonathan shakes his head. "Great, now the spoiling begins."
Candice arches a brow. "Oh please, it began once Karla was born."
"He lets them get away with stuff." Jonathan pouts.
Candice couldn't believe her husband. "Jonathan...you serious?" She found it funny that her husband was acting like such a big baby.
"Yeah Johnny are you serious." James Sr. laughs while holding Dylan. "Janelle, where's Kurt?"
"He's coming." Janelle said still admiring her Louis Vuitton handbag her little brother got her. "Daddy see my purse?"
Nora Jonathan's mother shakes her head. Her daughter was always spoiled. "Come on, let's get the food on, you and Candice going to unpack?"
"He is...I am going to eat." Candice says instantly placing her Gucci duffle bag on the soft green sofa next to her husband. "Hurry up now, don't want your food to get cold.
As everyone left, James jr. stares at his little brother. He grabs the bags helping him upstairs. Jonathan eyes widen. "This is a surprise."
"Didn't want you to break a nail…"
Jonathan sighs inwardly as he watches his older brother walk upstairs. This is going to be a long weekend.

At the headquarters, Shane was in his office getting ready to go over the plans for next year for Raw. Although it was still the number one show, he needed to keep it there. European tour with the Raw talent was the topic of discussion.
"Stephanie is going to have a problem with that, Daniel is the champion. You are going to have him overseas almost a week?"
"Smackdown tapes on Tuesdays, he'll catch a red eye or something and fly to austral then Japan, then were back to the states. It's only for a week." Shane says.
"What about Kelly?" Vince asks.
Shane arches a brow. "What about her, she doesn't work here anymore."
"I see that, I know that. How is she doing?"
"Why all of a sudden you asking about her?" Shane wonders, his father ask about Kelly before.
"Listen if you're wondering...no. I told you that I won't do that again to you or any of your former co workers."
Vince sighs. "I am not talking about you running a brothel full of the idiot women in my company-"
"Okay, so Daniel and Kofi I approved as well as the women's champion. I cleared your new girl to go out the country as well. Also, drug test are done, and every wrestler needs to pass in order to go to another country."
Stephanie says placing paper work on Shane's desk and in front of her father. "Did I interrupt anything?"
"No, I was just making sure everything was fine in here. Talking to Shane, guy stuff and all." Vince says getting up from the chair and grabbing the stacks of paper work that his daughter had given him. "Anything else?"
"No" Stephanie says.
Shane took his time before he answers his father. "No."
"Great. Keep up the great work."

"Yours are too." Kevin says grabbing Melinda's waist. She looks down at her Michael Kors collection watch. "I have to get home get DJ."
"You have a nanny." Kevin says pulling the female closer to him. His lips made their way to her neck. "I need you Mel."

"Later." As Melinda hops into her Mercedes- Benz M class. At the red light she ponders to herself. "Really Melinda, what are you doing?"

Stephanie had gone over the paper work and the information. She was taking a big step making this guy the world champion. He'd been the world champion before but the guy had to re prove himself again and again to even get to this point. Stephanie wishes Daniel the best but at the same time, she needed to look out for the welfare of Smackdown roster and the raft of her dad. She looks at the cell and speaks of the man she was just thinking of. "Yeah dad...yes...he is...I know… but he'll be fine being the new champion."
Brooke walks the halls before her dark match took place against another new WWE diva. Then the darkness from the far end of the arena attracts her attention.
"Why are you here all alone? I know it's not because you're dropping your belt."
Daniel turns to see an attractive young burnet. "Get out of her girl."
"Is this your private area?" She wanted to know.
"Yes, now do you mind?" He spats.
"Whoo...not a great way to make your first impression on the new girl." Brooke says walking closer. "I'm Brooke."
"Well Brooke, you need to leave. Don't you have a match to get ready for?"
She smirks. "Actually yes, but I was looking for legend to give me some tips but, he's on a vacation so...your here."
"I don't know if that was to impress me or insult me-
Brooke laughs. "Both...cheer up. It's not jail."
"It's not any of your business either lil girl."
Brooke smirks while walking away. "At least he remembers my face now."

"How long have you been standing there?"
James exhales the smoke into the cold air of the Colorado Mountains.
"Well...long enough to know that you flirted with whoever that was before the interview got started, and thanks for making me look nice."
"Okay, time out...what is the real problem here James?" Jonathan says standing up.
James smirks while walking away. "I am here two more days James!"

"Yeah, I do now. Shane?"
"Hm?"
"I think I want to go back to wrestling after having the baby."
Shane looks at Kelly. "I mean okay but, you don't have to work Kelly-okay hey, let's talk about this later, can we cuddle?"
Kelly slides up next to him. "Sure, yeah we can."
He plants a kiss on her forehead. "I love you." That was the first time in a long time Shane has said that to another female outside of his family.

Ken Kennedy had rightfully won the battle royal on Raw and Randy Orton had rightfully won the battle royal on smack down. But the Matt Morgan was thrown in to see what he can actually prove and with a bit of push from Jonathan and Cena well... he's Cena. Shane could care less that at the moment he's his father favorite and has been.

Matt nods. "Sure...okay."

Both his parents and everyone else had strange looks on their faces. "Yes."
"Why would you bring that up Jay?" James grumbles in a deep voice.
"No reason, just to be thankful. We might not never had much growing up but we had each other." Jonathan smiles at his parents.
"Yes, we did sweetie."
"Yes, and for that, and because it's your anniversary you inspires Candice and I so much, these are for you two." Jonathan says sliding over two black small boxes.

San Antino, Tx (PPV) Judgment Day
Shane watches from the monitor behind the curtains. The main event match had started and already knowing the outcome and the winner, Shane still wanted to see Matt handle Cena. "Tell Brock to get out here." He says grabbing a stage hand.
"Sure thing."
Heavy weight title match Randy Orton vs. Ken Kennedy vs Matt Morgan vs John Cena
Both Randy and John went head on against each other whole Morgan and Ken went against each other. The match for the fans was a two in one. A bright idea Shane came up with. The last wrestler standing and has not been pin will be the new world champion. Vince sat by ring side holding the title in his hands. He was excited about this match and seeing Shane and Stephanie work like this was amazing. Both Raw and Smackdown were both doing great in rating but Raw was always going to be the flagship ship show. Stephanie had to do or think of something if she wanted get Smackdown to take off like Raw.
Tampa, FL
As everyone sat in the living room watching the main event, Daniel was upstairs packing his bags. He didn't want to be reminded of everything that was going.
"Daddy, where are you going?"
"Hey sweetheart, I'm going out of town for a few days?" Daniel says giving his child warm smile. "I think it will be a bit longer than usual though sweet heart."
"Why?"
"Daddy is sick, he's not all that great."
"Did you tell mom?" She asks sitting on the bed giving her father eye contact.
By that time Melinda appears in the door frame. "Hey honey, your uncle is wants you."
"Can I talk to daddy? He's leaving?"
Melinda smiles. "How about you go talk with uncle Shawn and we me and you and DJ if he hasn't fallen alsleep take daddy to the airport?"
Kylie arches her brow. "Okay...sounds fair." She hugs her father. "I'll be right back."
Once their daughter disappears, Melinda looks at Daniel. "Still not going to let the kids see me?"
"I am thinking about it." Melinda says. "I'll be back at work soon and with summer coming up-"
"I really wanted to spend the summer with the kids and you in Europe."
Melinda sighs silently. "Well...that can still be a chance of us doing that but at the same time...let's just see how rehab plays out."
"I love you Mel." Daniel says gently grabbing a hold to her hand.
"I love you too." Melinda sighs. "I...I'll see you downstairs when you're ready." Melinda went into the bathroom to cry softly. She'd love Daniel, she did. but she couldn't bare the fact that she had fallen out of love with the man that was her husband and the father of her children. Trust had been broken. She reaches for the phone and scrolls down the contact. Melinda was going to need more time off now this was for more personal than vacation. Summer was coming up and her kids were going to need her the most. She sent Vince and Stephanie and email informing them of that.

"Now the fun begins." Shane smirks mumbling under his breath.
Vince with a surprise look on his face turns to JR and King. "What the hell is going on?"
"Shane changed something?" Jim asks.
Before Vince turns around, John was beated by both Matt and Brock. Randy eyes what's going on outside of the ring questions himself."What the hell is going on?"
Matt and Brock leaves John almost in pool of his own blood. Randy covers John becoming the new world champion. Still in confusion, he looks at Vince." What the hell was that?"
Vince hands him the blet, and raises his hands up in the air. "Not sure...but I will get some answers. Congratulations son."
