Abby frantically searched the halls of the church for her daughter, asking everyone that she had passed by if they had seen her. She was about to give up and look for Cody, who was ushering, to see if he knew where Missy was, when she heard a male voice calling her name. She blinked, looking up to see Dave Bautista, who had been known simply as Batista during his time in the WWE, coming toward her with a crying Missy in his arms. Her eyes widened as she rushed over to them, "oh my God, Dave what happened?"
"I saw her on the floor by the back door just as two women were running out," Batista sighed. "I couldn't tell who it was, but I think Missy's arm may be broken."
"One of them was Eve, Mommy," Missy pouted as Randy walked up behind Abby.
"Well that can't be good," Randy groaned as he took Missy from Batista. "Can you go get Cody and take his place ushering?"
Batista nodded and made his way over to where Cody was working as Abby sighed, smoothing down her daughter's hair. It had been just a few days since Eve had dropped the Divas title to Tamina Snuka over on SmackDown and quit the company, throwing a fit in the meantime. Everyone was under the impression that she was leaving in order to promote the Gracie Jiujitsu Academy, where she had trained. No one had any reason to believe she had revenge on her mind. However, the bigger question was who was the woman who had been with her. "Can you tell us what happened, sweetie?" Abby asked Missy as she looked up to see Cody rushing over to them out of the corner of her eye.
Missy nodded, "Eve was with a woman who looked like she might be related to, and the other woman was asking me all sorts of questions about John and Sara. I think she likes John, or something. They had backed me up against a rail in the stairway and I fell. They got scared when I started crying and holding my arm, so they ran away."
Randy let out an aggravated sigh as he handed Missy over to her father. "Cody, do you remember that story about John and Sara's first date?"
Cody thought for a moment before nodding slowly, "some slut had been trying everything to get with John, and after she hit Sara, she got laid out in a restroom. You don't think it's the same girl, do you?"
Randy shrugged, "it's possible." He placed a hand on the other man's shoulder, "I'm just glad that I know my cousins are strong women." He nodded toward Abby before stepping away, "you should get her to a hospital. I'll let John know what happened."
Cody nodded as he lead Abby out to his car, still carrying Missy in his arms. He helped his daughter into the backseat and allowed Abby to climb into the back as well before getting into the driver's seat and made his way to the nearest hospital.
…
The little family had missed the wedding ceremony, but were able to make it back for the reception. Missy had her arm in a cast, nearly up to her elbow, and was wearing a sling as an extra precautionary measure. As soon as John saw them, he quickly made his way over to them, hugging Missy tightly. "I am so sorry."
"It's not your fault, John," Missy frowned. "Some girls are just crazy. You can't be to blame for something like that."
John nodded as Sara, Melissa, Nicky, and Randy walked over to them. Melissa bit her lip, "the girl who gave John and Sara all of that trouble in the past was Becky Torres."
Abby balled up her fist in frustration, stomping as she closed her eyes. "Well that explains how she knew where to find the wedding. They're probably cousins."
"That's what we're thinking," Sara nodded. "I just don't get why it's been this long since we heard from her again. I kicked her ass in that bathroom like seventeen, maybe eighteen years ago."
Nicky looked up with a sigh, "she recently got divorced, but didn't get anything out of it because she was caught cheating on her sugar daddy."
"Typical Becky," Melissa rolled her eyes. "And now she's going back after John because of how big he's made it."
"She still doesn't have a chance with me, but I know that's not going to stop her," John sighed, slipping an arm around his wife's waist. "Eve probably isn't done trying to get with me, either."
"Well, you've got all of us to back you up," Abby nodded, "especially after she brought my daughter into this."
…
January 27th, 2013 – The Royal Rumble in Phoenix, AZ.
Abby sat in her office as she waited for what would be the first of four scheduled pay-per-views that would include both halves of the roster for the year. There was an added stipulation to the rumble that year. In addition to choosing which championship they wanted to go for at WrestleMania, the General Manager of the show the winner was on would get to choose whether they wanted their first solo pay-per-view to be before or after 'Mania. Abby had in mind exactly what she wanted to do for her first big event, and when she wanted it to be. That of course being if one of her guys won the rumble, that is. She was going over the list of entrants for the match and heaved a sigh. Fifteen of the thirty were from SmackDown, one was the winner of the NXT tournament, and three were surprise entrants. She already knew who one of the surprises was because she was in process of negotiating a new contract for him to return to RAW. The odds were decidedly against her, but she took solace in the fact that the only big threat from the SmackDown roster was Ryback. At the same time, Dolph Ziggler had been very impressive as of late, and could score the major upset. She was lost in her thoughts when there was a knock at her door. She blinked looking up, calling out for whomever was there to come in.
Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara walked in, both without their masks, which was extremely odd. Abby already knew what Rey looked like under his mask, but Sin Cara was a surprise for her. "Um... hey guys. Shouldn't you be getting ready?"
Rey looked down for a moment as Sin Cara nodded, "as much as we both love this opportunity, neither of us are ready to compete. So we're giving up our spots in the rumble. Booker said that he wants to give both spots to you."
Abby blinked, a huge smile growing across her face. "Only if you're sure. I mean, I know exactly who I want to give the spots to, but I just want to make sure."
Sin Cara nodded once more, "si, we are sure Abby."
Abby tilted her head, "well, I guess you have been spending a lot of time in America."
Rey laughed, nodding, "he still has a long way to go, but he's getting somewhere."
"Cool," Abby nodded, "so I guess that I'll see you two around?"
Both men shook her hand before leaving the room and the arena. Abby squealed as she jumped up, rushing back to the RAW locker room, she knocked on the door with a huge grin, bouncing up and down.
The Miz answered the door with a grin, "hey boss, what's up?"
"The luchadores withdrew. Are Ted and Joe here?" Abby giggled, bouncing a little more.
Miz nodded, turning to look into the room. "The boss is here for The Fortunate Sons."
Abby smiled as Ted and Michael McGuillicutty came to the door and walked out into the hall. "I've got a surprise for you guys," she grinned as she handed them each an envelope containing entry numbers for the rumble."
"Wait, so we're in?" McGuillicutty blinked in disbelief.
"Rey and Sin Cara thought that they were ready, but have both pulled out at the last minute. I chose the two of you to take their place. Don't disappoint me," Abby winked before walking away. Just as she made it to her office, the man returning to RAW was there waiting for her. She smirked as she sat down, motioning for him to sit down in one of the chairs across from her as he showed her his entry number. "Oh how poetic," Abby nodded. "Ziggler is number one."
"Looks like I get to have some fun then," Chris Jericho nodded. "So how are you enjoying your job so far?"
"It's a lot of fun. I really feel like I have picked the best roster possible. I also couldn't be happier that you are about to join it. Are you ready to join a ton of legacies?" Abby smirked, sitting back in her chair.
Chris laughed, "are you really legacy heavy?"
Abby nodded, "the only legacies currently on the main roster, that aren't on RAW are Primo, Epico, and Tamina Snuka. We're even looking into signing Bo Dallas if he does well tonight. He's a Rotunda."
"Well, based on just that alone, it looks like I'm in for a treat. I assume that Dwayne is on RAW, as well," Chris nodded.
Abby smiled, "he is. You know, when he has time to show up."
"Anyway, I just wanted to give you my contract. I've signed it. I believe everything is in order," Chris smiled, handing her a folder containing his new contract.
"I'll hand it over after I look it over and sign it myself," Abby nodded. "Good luck out there, tonight."
Chris nodded, thanking her and standing up. He shook her hand and let himself out of the office. Once he left, Abby began to look over his contract. She didn't believe that she actually had so much responsibility as general manager. Before actually taking the job, she assume that it was merely an on air, figurehead type role, but she was wrong. The position of general manager actually included decision making and authority. The longer she did it, the more she found herself enjoying it. Abby had fallen into her role of general manager quite nicely. She found herself doing everything that the fans wanted, and she had only just begun. They were only two weeks into the Women's title tournament, and they were already getting a huge response. What a concept it was to actually let the women on the roster wrestle, and show off the fact that they were more than just pretty faces. After the match between Kaitlyn and Cameron, Brie Bella had lost to Velvet Sky in a hard fought match a week later. Facebook and Twitter were completely abuzz with the matches that the girls were putting on. Abby was proud of herself, and rightfully so. She was already beginning to go over the possibilities of bringing back the European and Cruiserweight titles. Not to mention, if the Women's title picture became as big as it was looking to be, she was even considering bringing back the Women's Tag Titles, just so there would be even more competition. What made the Women's title tournament so hot was that Abby added the stipulation that matches had to last longer than five minutes. Before then, the average Divas match lasted maybe two minutes. That never showed much of anything. The ante needed to be upped, and that was exactly what Abby had done.
…
Abby and Missy cuddled on a couch as they watched the event, not having anything to do during the program. They were all smiles during the Tag Team title match between Team Hell No and Team Rhodes Scholars. They really felt like Cody and Damien had it that time until Daniel Bryan managed to successfully apply a "No! Lock" on Damien while Cody was incapacitated outside of the ring. Cody barely got a chance to recuperate between that match and the rumble, seeing as how he was entrant number three. In the time of his small breather, he sat with his girlfriend and daughter. He raised his eyebrow as he heard "Break the Walls Down" and turned to Abby. "He's back? Or is he just a surprise entrant?"
"He's back," Abby nodded with a smile. "We just finalized his new contract before the show began."
"That's awesome. I should probably get going, though. Ninety seconds can fly by when you're not paying attention," Cody frowned. He looked to Missy's arm with a sigh. "We'll get to the bottom of this."
Abby nodded, kissing her boyfriend. "Don't worry about it right now, baby. Security has been instructed to not let Eve in, and they would most likely come together." She bit her left the room and pulled Missy close with a small sigh. "If I get my way, there is going to be a no count out, no disqualification match at WrestleMania."
"Between who, mama?" Missy looked up at her mother, resting her head on the woman's shoulder.
"Me and Sara against Eve and that other bitch. They really made the wrong move by messing with you, baby girl," Abby kissed the top of her daughter's head. They went on to continue watching the match until they heard the opening chord of "Gold-lust". They both sat in shock as Cody immediately went after his older brother, completely stealing the show.
When Cody eliminated Goldust nearly ten minutes later, Missy got up and ran out of the room, Abby on her heels, making her way to the Gorilla position. "Uncle Dustin?" the nine year-old frowned, putting her hands on her hips.
"Hello sweetheart," Dustin chuckled, picking up his niece. He looked to her arm, raising an eyebrow, "get into a little tumble running around the arenas?"
"Cody didn't tell you?" Abby sighed.
Dustin shook his head, "what's going on?"
"Well..." Abby took a deep breath, looking down for a moment. "While we were at John Cena's wedding Eve Torres and a girl who tried to get into John's pants in high school cornered Missy in a stairway."
"I fell down the stairs, Uncle Dustin," Missy pouted.
Dustin blinked, "are you serious? What the hell were they thinking?"
"I really don't know. They were trying to see how serious John and Sara were. I assume that one or both of them wanted to try and swoop in, but freaked when Missy fell," Abby shrugged. "I just know that I am personally going to find them and take care of this."
…
Later that night, after the event was over, Abby and Cody sat in bed. Abby had been quiet for nearly a half hour, which worried Cody. The show had gone in their favor. John won the rumble, and The Rock had beaten CM Punk for the WWE Title. Still, something was wrong. Cody rubbed his girlfriend's arm with a sigh. "Want to talk about it?"
Abby looked up to Cody, biting her lip. "You remember what happened to my dad a long time ago?"
He nodded, hugging her closer to him, "yeah, of course. What about it?"
"I had just found out a bit before being sent to spent the summer with you," she stated in a quiet tone.
Cody sighed with a frown, hugging her tightly. "I'm so sorry, baby. I wish I would have known then. I would have tried to help you through it."
Abby shook her head. "I don't think you could have helped me, Cody. I was dealing with things in my own way, all while everything was happening between us. I wish that things could have happened over better circumstances, but we can't change the past."
Cody nodded, kissing the top of her head. "I'm glad you told me. I know that this has had to have been hard on you."
Abby smiled, "it was, but I believe that I've moved on. Now I have you." She grinned as she leaned in and began kissing him passionately. They continued kissing, removing their clothing. Once they began moaning, a voice was heard from the next room.
"I'm still awake, you two!" Missy laughed from the other room.
"Well... go visit your Uncle Ted," Cody laughed, shaking his head.
"Fine!" Missy got up, grabbing her key card and putting her shoes on. "I'll see you in the morning." She shook her head making her way down the hall to the room she saw Ted go into earlier and knocked, letting her parents do what they were obviously about to do.
Ted opened the door with a smirk. "Well, to what do I owe the pleasure, little lady?"
Missy rolled her eyes, "just as I was about to go to sleep, I heard moaning."
Ted winced, stepping aside to let her in. "That's the last thing any kid wants to hear. You're in luck, though. I got two beds, just in case."
"Are my parents in what they call the 'honeymoon phase', Uncle Ted?" Missy sighed, setting her keycard on the table as she took off her shoes.
Ted could feel his cheeks redden as he nodded. He was suddenly glad he didn't have a daughter of his own. "It won't last long, though. It's just new to them." He paused, shaking his head, "I really don't know if I should be the one telling you this."
"If I don't find out from you, or one of the other wrestlers, I'm just going to look it up on the internet," Missy shrugged.
Ted blinked as he walked over to the bed that he had already claimed. "Damn, you have a point, kid." He sat down after pulling the covers back, watching as Missy hopped on the other bed. "But yeah, this is the 'honeymoon phase' for them. For a while, they won't be able to get enough of each other. It'll die down eventually, though."
Missy nodded with a yawn, "looks like I'm going to be spending a lot of time with either you or AJ and Kaitlyn."
Ted nodded, reaching up to turn the lights off. "It's fine with me, and I'm sure they don't mind, either."
Missy smiled, getting comfortable. "Night, Uncle Ted."
"Good night, Missy," Ted laughed softly, quickly falling asleep.
