Lucy and Clementine walked out into the arrivals lounge at Orlando International Airport. Among the sea of faces in the crowded terminal building, one stood out for them.

"There he is," Lucy said. "That really is a sight for sore eyes."

Clementine had to agree. It felt like ages since she had seen her dad. But there he was, waiting to pick them up and drive them home. And there was not an annoying, airport-stalking fan in sight.

"Two days at home with my man. I don't think I've ever needed anything more," Lucy added as they worked their way over towards where Seth was standing.

"No more info, mom, please," Clem joked, although she totally agreed with the sentiment, albeit for slightly different reasons. It definitely did suck that her dad wasn't on the road with WWE at the moment to make her first few weeks on the main roster a family affair.

"There's my girls," Seth said warmly once they got close enough to hear him. He spread his arms out and Lucy walked right into them, letting go of her travel case's handle.

"Oh, I missed you," Lucy sighed while they embraced.

Waiting her turn, Clem smiled. Her mom might not have seemed capable of it to most people in the Raw locker room, but she really was a loving wife and mother, and Seth was most definitely a loving husband and father. She was truly blessed to have been adopted into such a close family, and the fact never escaped her. She hoped it never would.

"I missed you too, babe. The house feels so weird when it's empty," Seth had just said.

"Well it's not going to be empty this weekend," Lucy assured him. With that, she stepped aside so that Seth could greet Clementine.

"Clem! Come here, sweet pea," he said, stepping towards her and offering his second hug in as many minutes.

"Hey, dad," Clem said, holding him tightly and resting her chin on his shoulder. "I've missed you. I've really missed you."

"I've missed you, too. I'm sorry I've not been there, but I have an idea in mind to make up for it."

"There's nothing to make up for," Lucy quickly said. "But I'm still open to the idea, whatever it is."

"Me too," Clem agreed as they parted.

"The idea is that tomorrow night all three of us can do whatever you'd like, and I will arrange it all. Whether it's going out for a meal or a few drinks, in which case I'll be the designated driver, or whether it's having a family dinner at home, in which case I'll cook. I want you both to have a great time, but to unwind at the same time."

"That sounds really lovely," Lucy said quietly, giving him a peck on the lips. "We're lucky ladies."

"We really are," Clem agreed. "We'll have to do some thinking on that, right, mom?"

"Yeah. We have to make the most of it," Lucy grinned.

"Well, first we've got to get home," Seth said. He took Lucy's case for her and they made their way out of the terminal building, heading up the road towards the lot where Seth had left their car. "Oh, I have some news," he slipped out casually, as if it was something like new neighbours moving in down the street.

"Go on," Lucy said.

"I'm in the Royal Rumble," Seth said casually, knowing full well the reaction it was going to get. Two sets of delighted female shrieking noises were his reward as he turned to face them with a crafty smile on his face.

"I knew Hunter would call you!" Lucy cried, grabbing him into another hug. "What a thing; all three of us in matches on the same night. I can't belive it," she finished, voice breaking as she did so.

That made Clem tear up. The fact that she was now a main roster talent was clearly still an emotional thing for her parents, as it was for her. "I can't wait, dad," she said, giving him a loving smile as he looked over Lucy's shoulder.

"Roman and Dean are in, too. Hunter told me. I hope they do a spot with us all in the ring at the same time. One Shield powerbomb and I'll be happy."

"Screw that," Lucy said as they parted again. "They should have you win it. You deserve one more Wrestlemania main event."

"I don't think that's on the cards," Seth told her pragmatically. "One of you two, maybe. Me? No. There are much better guys than me out there now; we all know that. If they offer me something interesting for 'Mania, I'm up for it, but if not, that's their call and I respect it."

Clem badly wanted to try and convince him to have a go at working more regularly for one more run, but she knew she would be wasting her time. They had already discussed it as a family a year or so earlier, and Seth had been firm in his decision that his body couldn't stand up to it, thanks to having several serious injuries in his career. While he could have accepted the money and worked the shows, his performances would have sucked, by his high standards, and he was too proud to turn in poor matches for the sake of a pay check. It was something Clem really respected about him, yet she still felt it was a shame that he was pretty much done as a wrestler.

Those were the reasons that Lucy responded supportively. "It'll be great to have you there with us at the Rumble, and to see you out there with Dean and Roman, if that happens."

"Thanks, babe. Hey, what about Alexa? Is she going to be there?"

"You tell us," Clem said, shaking her head as she took it upon herself to answer the question. "You can tell she's been with Dean a long time; she has his craftiness. It's like drawing blood from a stone trying to get info out of her."

"Then she's in the Rumble," Seth decided.

"Probably," Lucy nodded. "Maybe a Twisted Thorne reunion. Although, since they had me change to Lucy Rollins last year, I don't know if that would work now."

Seth gave a little shrug. Both he and Lucy had spoken up against the idea of changing her character's name when they had been put into a storyline together, but Hunter Helmsley had stood his ground, saying that if there was going to be a storyline about man and wife, the man and wife should have the same surname. Apparently it had escaped him that Stephanie was still referred to by her maiden name on-screen, and always had been.

"At least now we have Lucy Rollins and Clementine Rollins," Clem said, trying to brighten things up. It worked.

"That's right," Seth chuckled. "Everyone knows you're my girls."

"Your girls who would like to get home," Lucy said, displaying all of her usual tact and patience.

"Well, come on then," he fired back, playing along. He took her case again and they resumed the walk to the car.

A few minutes later, Clem was sitting in the back of the car as her dad navigated away from the airport. They hadn't gone far before her phone rang. She was already holding it in her hand, so she saw right away that Bayley's name was on the screen. It had been a few days since they had last had a chance to catch up, so Clem was keen to take the call. "It's Bay," she announced to Seth and Lucy.

"Say hi," Seth replied.

Clem answered the call. "Hi, Bay. I'm in the car with mom and dad. They say hi."

"Tell them hi," Bayley said cheerfully. "How are you guys? I hope you're all good?"

"We are," Clem said happily. "We're just on the way home from the airport, ready to spend two whole days at home. It's going to be great."

"Aww, I hope you have a great time." The smile on Bayley's face came through clearly in her voice.

"How about you? You doing okay?"

"Yeah." Bayley paused for a second. "There's actually something I wanted to talk to you about, Clem. It's something that's not for everyone to know. You can tell Seth and Lucy if you like, but no one else, okay?"

"Uh, okay," Clem said hesitantly. "Am I about to hear good news or bad?"

"Good. Definitely good. The thing is, uh, you might have heard some rumours about this already."

Clem knew what she was going to say right away, and her heart filled with joy. "You and Daga?" she asked delicately.

"Yes. We've been dating for a while, but we've been trying to keep it on the quiet. Even now, some people aren't very tolerant. Anyway, it seems pretty much everyone in the locker room knows now, or suspects at least, so we decided to start telling our friends."

"I'm really happy for you both," Clem gushed, wishing they were talking in person so that they could have shared a hug. But then, she supposed Bayley found it easier to talk about it over the phone. If that was better for her, then so be it. "I don't know Daga, but she seems nice. And she's damn sure hot."

"Oh, I know," Bayley breathed. "Not only that, though. She's such a sensitive, caring person. You'll get to see that as you work with her some more. I truly have found one in a million."

"Aww, that's so sweet. Daga's just as lucky to have you, Bay, trust me."

"Thanks, Clem. That's a lovely thing to say. Listen, I have more calls to make, so I'll let you go. I'll see you at the Rumble."

"Wait, you will?" Clem exclaimed, assuming that she meant she was in the women's rumble match.

"Yeah. You don't think I wouldn't be there for your first match, do you?" Bayley asked, quickly covering herself.

"I guess not," Clem said, doubting it was as simple as that, but deciding not to labour the point. "I'll catch you later, Bay."

"Bye, Clem."

"Did I just hear that right?" Lucy asked as soon as Clem ended the call.

"You can't say anything about this to anyone," Clem told both Lucy and Seth. "Bay said I can tell you, but she doesn't want it to go further than that."

"Our lips are sealed," Seth said.

At the same time, Lucy said, "Bayley and Daga really are a thing. Wow. I'm happy for them. They'll make a great couple."

"I know," Clem enthused. "I can't wait to see her now. I wanted to give her a hug so badly."

Seth chuckled. "She really has trained you well."

"I was a hugger before I started training," Clem said with a big grin, meeting his eyes in the rear-view mirror.

"That's true," he acknowledged with a grin of his own.

Lucy said, "I can't ever remember feeling as excited for an event as I am about the Rumble. We've got Clem's first match, which also happens to see us teaming up. We've got you in the Rumble, Seth, and Roman and Dean hopefully at the same time. And we've got other friends like Alexa and Bayley there as well, also hopefully in the women's rumble match."

"It's going to be amazing," Clem agreed. "Honestly, I barely slept last night. I woke up after an hour or so and found myself just lying there thinking about all the things that might happen. I had to remind myself that we've not even been told if we're in the rumble match. To my knowledge, Hunter's said nothing to anyone about it yet."

"We'll be in it," Lucy assured her without even a hint of doubt in her voice.

"I really hope so. This weekend at home, just the three of us, is going to be wonderful, so please don't take it the wrong way when I say that next Sunday can't come soon enough."

"I know what you mean," Seth said. "We're looking forward to it as much as you are. Don't worry, the days will fly by and it'll come around before you know it."
