Dean-
I was sitting in the locker room when a couple of the younger guys walked in. They were talking about Randy and how if it wasn't scripted they could beat him. I laughed and they looked at me.
"Oh look, it's Dean Ambrose. You know I expected you to be more, I don't know crazy", KC said.
The other guy laughed.
"You do know it's a character right", I said standing.
Roman walked in and sent me a nod.
"Look a waste of time just walked in", he said laughing.
Roman raised a brow.
"Excuse me?", Roman asked.
I stood and got in front of Roman. I knew that if I didn't he would kill this kid. I turned to look at him, Randy and Seth walked in. Dolph was coming out of the bathroom.
"If I'm correct, we old timers are putting you over. Hell the fans get more excited to see us than you", I said.
"Their chanting yes as we're kicking your ass", Roman said from behind me.
KC smirked.
"You're confusing the fans for your wife, because that's what she chants while I'm fucking her", the kid said.
Roman tried to jump over me to get to him. Seth and Randy holding him back.
"Hey Dean, how's Lexi? You know maybe you could let me have a go at her, I know Randy's tapped that", Roman got loose and tackled the kid.
No one made a move to get Roman off of him. The other guy tried too.
"Its no use, once you piss him off, there's no getting him off. He's like a pitbull", I said, crossing my arms over my chest.
The kid stopped and looked at me.
"Come on man, if you don't pull him off we all get in trouble", Jace said.
I sighed and nodded. I went over to Roman and tapped his shoulder. He stopped and stood, brushing himself down.
"You can run your mouth off about us, but our wives and kids names stay out of your mouth", I said.
"Come on KC, leave it", Jace said, helping him stand.
Someone knocked on the door, Randy went to answer it.
"Ambrose, it's for you", he said.
I walked over and opened the door. Lexi was leaning back against the wall. She looked up and smiled, sending me a wave. I walked out into the hall.
"What are you doing here?", I asked.
"Don't be mad, I took the job offer. Just till the doctor says no more traveling", she said.
I sighed and placed my hands on my hips.
"And I only work Monday and Tuesday. Also, I have to do a few radio interviews and meet and greets, but I get to do those with you and sometimes one of the other guys", she said.
"What about the kids? Ronnie's heartbroken enough with me gone, now you", I said.
She stood in front of me, hands on my chest.
"She'll be fine. Aunt Rose and Cat are holding down the fort. Come on, you can't say you aren't excited that I'm here", she said.
"Babe, you know I am. I finally get you all alone, without interruption", I said, before kissing her.
She giggled as I wrapped my arms around her, pressing her as close as I could to me.
"Out of harms way when we're down in the ring", I said.
She nodded.
"Hey Lex", Roman said, coming out of the locker room.
She sent him a wave.
"Looks like you aren't the only woman they called back", Seth said, gesturing with his chin down the hall.
We looked to see Summer and Renee. Lexi squeezed me.
"Down girl", I whispered in her ear.
She looked at me.
"Mine", she said.
I nodded. Nikki and Brie turned towards our hall and Seth quickly made his way to his wife.
"Alright, the Bellas are back. My girls together again", Roman said.
"Hey", Lexi said hurt.
"You know I love you more Lexi", Roman said.
"Not as much as me", I said.
"I heard Summer was coming back, but Renee", Brie said, standing beside Roman.
"I heard she has a show coming out. You know since she married a hockey player and all", Nikki said.
"I thought she married a baseball player?" Roman asked.
Nikki nodded.
"She did, had two kids and divorced. Now she's marrying some younger guy", Nikki said.
"As long as she doesn't come for mine, she and I are good", Lexi said.
I kissed her cheek.
"Lexi", Summer shouted.
We were all shocked she waved at Lexi.
"Is there something you want to tell me?", I asked.
"I'm just as surprised as you, maybe there's another Lexi", she said.
We looked behind us, empty hall.
"Nope, she's talking to you baby girl", Roman said.
Summer came over, dragging Renee behind her. They stopped in front of us.
"We just want to talk. We can talk like adults yes?", Summer said.
Roman and Seth had moved in front of Lexi.
"Yes, what is it?", Lexi asked.
"I just wanted to apologize for what I did to you. I hurt you and I knew it was wrong. I was jealous, you were getting everything I wanted. Title shots, an amazing boyfriend after Randy. It felt like everything was getting handed to you", she said, wringing her hands.
"I forgive you Summer", Lexi said, surprising all of us.
Summer smiled and nodded.
"I really mean it, you went through hell and I made it worse for you and I'm sorry", Summer said.
"Wait, what do you mean went through hell?", Lexi asked.
Summer looked at Renee.
"See, I told you she didn't see it", Summer said to her.
Lexi looked at Renee. Renee stepped forward.
"First off, I'm sorry I tried to hurt you. I did it because I saw how miserable he was and I cared about him and knew he deserved better", Renee said.
Lexi crossed her arms over her chest.
"I was wrong", Renee said.
I knew Lexi was about to forgive her, no matter how bad she wanted to slap her.
"I forgive you. Now what about this thing I haven't seen?", she asked.
Renee took her phone out and tapped a few things.
"Summer and I were checking the WWE website to see who else was coming back. We wanted to know so we could apologize to you and when we typed in your name, this website popped up. It talks about your kidnapping, what happened with Burt, and when you lost your baby", she said.
"Wait what?", Lexi asked.
I stepped forward, putting my hand on her back. No one knew about that but those closest to us and they knew better than to say anything. Renee nodded and turned her phone towards us. This website was dedicated to bashing Lexi. How she was unfit to be a mom and that she cheated on me with Burt, blaming her for his death and Penny's death.
"This is bullshit", I said, taking the phone and handing it back to Renee.
"That's what we said", Summer said.
"Thanks for telling me", Lexi said to them.
They nodded before leaving. Lexi looked lost in thought.
"You think too much doll", I said, tucking her hair behind her ear.
She sent me a small smile.
"It's okay, I'm fine", she said.
Catherine-
She was determined to get Gracie on her side. She wasn't a bad person, she just wanted to find her father. Gracie got home from school and Cat stood.
"Hey", Cat said.
Gracie raised a brow just like Jon did, it made Cat smile. Gracie walked passed her and towards the kitchen. Amelia watched with amusement, Cat reminded herself that Amelia was next on her list.
Cat followed Gracie.
"So I heard you wanted to learn how to drive", she said.
Gracie took a drink from her cup.
"I'm going job hunting and I'm taking Ronnie and Chloe with me. Maybe you want to go and practice driving?", Cat suggested.
Amelia looked between Cat and Gracie, knowing very well her sister has been begging their dad to teach her. After a long silence, Cat gave up.
"Never mind then, we'll be back later", Cat said about to leave.
"Alright", Gracie suddenly said.
Cat smiled and nodded.
"Lets go", Cat said.
Amelia stood.
"Can I come?", Amelia asked.
"Of course", Cat said.
They called for Ronnie and Chloe. Leaving Elijah and Camden with Aunt Rose. Once in the car, they made sure everyone was buckled in.
"Did my mom say it was okay to use her car?", Gracie asked.
Cat nodded.
"She said Jon would kill us if we used his truck and something happened to it", Cat said.
"True", Gracie said.
"Okay, so do you know anything at all about driving or have they let you drive even just a little?", Cat asked.
"Mom let drive to the store once", Gracie said.
"Yeah and you almost killed a mailbox on our way home", Amelia said.
Gracie glared at her sister. Cat laughed.
"Its okay. My first time I was suppose to back up, but instead went straight ahead into the garage", Cat said.
The kids laughed. Gracie still didn't trust Cat, but she could try. Baby steps.
"Okay, let's go. Remember, you can go at your own pace, who cares if they honk at you or pass you", Cat said.
Gracie nodded.
Lexi-
I was leaving a note in my calendar on my phone about going Christmas shopping once home. It was quickly approaching and we still haven't done anything. Truthfully I was trying to distract myself from that website.
Jon was in the shower and we were in the next town for SmackDown tomorrow.
"What's got all of your attention?", Jon asked.
"We have to go Christmas shopping Thursday before you leave for work", I said.
He nodded and dressed.
"Should we move into our new home before Christmas or wait?", he asked.
"I mean we can move some things, but I rather have our last Christmas with that house", I said.
He nodded.
"We have to get a tree too and put up lights. Man, we have no freaking time", he said, sitting on the bed.
"We can get some things done Wednesday or maybe tomorrow before the show we can start shopping and just mail everything to our house", I said.
"I think that's a good idea", he said, moving up the bed towards me.
He wiggled his brow and I smirked.
"What?", I asked.
He took my phone out of my hands and leaned forward to kiss my neck, I moaned softly.
"No kids to interrupt, well except for these two but they won't get in daddy's way, right kiddos", he said, placing his hand on my small bump.
I laughed.
"Should we get Cat something?", I asked.
He put his hand under my shirt, his thumb rubbed softly against my stomach.
"I don't know", he said.
"I think we should, I've been thinking a lot about her situation and well", he groaned.
"I don't know if I like where that pretty head is going", he said.
"Can you hear me out before saying no", I said.
He sighed and nodded, his hand still against my stomach.
"She has no one if it turns out you aren't her dad. I don't just want to throw her out, that's cruel. You and I aren't cruel people.", I reminded.
"You want to keep her?", he asked.
"Yes. Only if you agree. We are a tag team after all. She'll fit right in, we've already got a lot of kids, what's one more", I said.
He looked over at me.
"Can I think about it?", he asked.
I nodded. He leaned over and kissed me.
