The following morning Dean and Lily had to get up early so they can make it to the arena in time he let Lily sleep in while he got their stuff packed then when he went over to his niece he touched her forehead and she was warm he knew she might be getting sick so once they get her to the arena he'll have her get checked out by the doctor.
"Lily, sweetheart time to get up". Dean said gently shaking her.
"Don't wanna". Lily mumbled.
Dean didn't have time for this so he picked Lily up with one arm and then picked their luggage up with the other and went down to the lobby he then got a bellhop to take the luggage out to the car while he carried his sick sleeping niece to the car, the first thing he did was put Lily in the car and buckled her up then put the luggage in the back he then tipped the bellhop and got in the driver's seat heading off to where Smackdown is.
During the drive Dean kept looking back at Lily he knew he ha to stop soon to get her some medicine, juice and food but before that he had to call John and tell him so while he was at a red light he got his phone out and called putting the phone on speaker.
-Hello. John answered.
-John, hey it's me look Lily's sick but were on our way but i have to stop soon to get her some stuff and some soup so i might be a few minutes late. Dean said.
-I can get her the stuff you guys just come to the arena. John said.
-John it's fine i can get it. Dean said.
-I got it Dean i insist. John replied.
-Alright we'll be there soon. Dean said.
-Alright. John said.
Dean then hung his phone up then looked in the rear view mirror to see Lily stirring awake till she finally woke up feeling like crap.
"Hey sweetheart you ok?" Dean asked.
"I don't feel so good Uncle Dean". Lily said weakly.
"Don't worry sweetheart once we get to the arena i'll take you to the doc to get you checked out". Dean said.
"Ok, can i roll the window down it's a bit hot". Lily said.
"Sure". Dean said.
When Dean told his niece she be going to the doctor he was sorta shocked because the kid never liked going to the doctor ever she must be sick if she agreed going to be checked out. Dean then pulled off to get her some soup and juice while he got coffee, after she finished her soup Lily had let out a harsh cough.
"You ok sweetie?" Dean asked.
"I'm ok". Lily said.
Dean then reached in the console and got a couple cough drops for Lily.
"Here you go sweetheart these should help". Dean said.
"Thank you Uncle Dean". Lily said.
Dean smiled at hearing his young niece. "Your welcome sweetheart".
They continued the drive till they finally reached the hotel where everyone is staying he then brought in his extra luggage but kept his ring gear along with Lily's stuff he then pulled off and headed to the arena. Once there Dean had gotten his and Lily's bag then carried her since she was too weak to walk she laid her head on his shoulder the whole time as the movement was calming and relaxing her to sleep then soon she was fast asleep. Dean had heard soft snoring from his niece as he looked down to see her fast asleep he then kissed her temple, on the way to the trainer's he ran into a couple superstars who invited him, Seth, and Roman out after the show but he wasn't sure he never left his niece while she was sick or hurt and he wasn't gonna start now he did think about it but wasn't 100% sure. He then dropped the stuff off at the hideout then took Lily to the trainer's room to get checked out.
"Hello Dean what can i do for you?" The doctor asked.
"My niece is sick so i was wondering if you could look her over just to make sure it's nothing to serious". Dean said.
"Sure". The doctor said.
Dean then woke the sleeping child up so the doctor could examine her and once she was finished it was determine that Lily had a bad case of the flu with a temp of 102.5 so she needed a lot of rest and fluids over the next few days he then picked her up and carried her to the hideout and on the way he ran into Roman and Seth.
"Hey man". Seth said.
"Is Lily alright?" Roman asked.
"She's sick so over the next few days she'll need lots of rest and fluids i'm watching her right now because John went out to get her some medicine and other stuff she'll need". Dean said.
"Poor kid". Seth said.
"Hey a few of us were gonna go out tonight after the show you in". Roman said.
"I don't know guys i never left Lily while she was sick". Dean said.
"I'm sure if you ask John he won't might taking her for the night". Seth said.
Dean hadn't thought of leaving Lily with John while she was sick since he was the only one who knew what to do and how to do it it couldn't hurt to leave Lily with John for the night besides he was staying in the same hotel and he be a few rooms and a phone call away.
"I'll talk to John about it first". Dean said.
"Talk to me about what?" John asked coming up.
Dean turned around carefully to see John holding a few bags that held some medicines, juice, soup, and a few other things.
"Would you guys mind taking Lily so i can talk to John". Dean said.
"Sure". They said.
Dean then carefully handed Lily over to Seth who took her then took her back to the hide out with Roman in tow while Dean turned to face John.
"What did you wanna talk about?" John asked.
"Some of the guys were going out after the show and i was wondering if you would keep Lily for the night, were gonna be in the same hotel anyway so i'll be a few rooms and a phone call away if you need me". Dean said.
"Yeah sure i can keep her for the night i am prepared for it anyway. So what'd the doc say?" John asked.
"She has a bad case of the flu so for the next few days she'll need plenty of rest and fluids". Dean said.
"Poor kid". John said.
"She'll be fine after all she is an Ambrose and a Cena". Dean said.
"Dean could i ask you something it's been bugging and eating at me for a while and i figured i talk to you about before i talked to Lily". John rambled.
"Whoa calm down and slow down what are you talking about". Dean said.
"Would it be ok if Lily also took my last name? After all she's my daughter and i would love it if she took my last name". John said.
"You wanna hyphenate Lily's last name?" Dean asked.
"If it's ok with you and Lily of course". John said.
"Let me think about right now i have to get ready but i'm sure we can talk about it later". Dean said.
"Sure sure". John said.
Dean then went back to the hideout with what John said on his mind, hyphenating Lily's last name? Sure he was her father and the could handle that but adding his last name to her's he didn't know how to feel about it when he got to the hideout the first thing he smelt was vomit as he saw Lily hunched over a trash can puking her guts out he then rushed over to her rubbing circles on her back.
"It's alright sweetheart let it out, let it all out". Dean said.
Once Lily was finished Dean had taken a towel and gently wiped her mouth then Roman handed the sick child a Gatorade.
"Thanks Roman". Lily said.
"Your welcome baby girl". Roman said.
"Sweetheart i'll be right back i have to change then take you to your dad alright". Dean said.
"Ok". Lily said.
He then kissed her head and went to the bathroom to change into his ring gear, after a few minutes he was ready as was Roman and Seth so Dean carefully picked up Lily who laid her head on his shoulder then they walked out to take Lily to John. On the way to John's locker room Lily was coughing harshly while Dean gently patted her back.
"You alright now sweetheart?" Dean asked.
"My throat hurts". Lily said.
"Don't worry honey it'll be over in just a few days i promise". Dean said.
Lily then felt relaxed the whole time Dean was walking till she fell asleep again then when Dean got to John's locker room he lightly knocked on the door so he wouldn't wake Lily, John then opened the door and gently took her from Dean's arms.
"I got her you guys go do your thing". John said.
"Thanks man i'll give you her stuff when we leave". Dean said.
"Alright". John said.
Dean then kissed Lily's temple then went out with Seth and Roman for their segment.
Ring
The guys music plays through the speakers as they walk down the aisle and into the ring then go for mics, Seth was the first one to talk.
"It's said what doesn't kill you makes you stronger well in the case of The Shield were stronger, were angrier, were hungrier, and after what happened to us on Monday were more focused then we've ever been". Seth said.
Dean was next on the mic after the footage played from Monday night.
"Now after that footage makes Evolution pretty happy but come on you should know by now what kind of people your dealing with here see were the kind of people you beat us up, you hit us with a sledge hammer on the head and we just don't care and this Sunday at Payback it's a no holds bar elimination match that means anything goes and that means your gonna find out how far were willing to go, your gonna know how far were willing to sink and Evolution your gonna have to ask yourselves a question, how crazy are you willing to get? Bring your best boys bring everything you got bring both of them because the hounds are gonna be off the leash and this is gonna get real real ugly. And since you wanted to make this personal and drag my family in this i'm gonna make sure that payback is gonna be a real bitch". Dean said.
Dean then handed the mic back off to Seth.
"Not only is this match on Sunday no holds bar but it is contested under elimination rules which means when i pin Randy Orton he's gotta take a walk and don't worry Randy if you can't stand i'm sure that they'll be a stretcher near by to wheel you to the back. You see what starts on a level playing field can easily turn to 3 on 2 and from there it can turn to 3 on 1 and after we eliminate Randy Orton we just might eliminate Batista and maybe fate would have it Triple H would be out here by himself in the center of the ring circled by the hounds of justice and if that were the case we'll take our time but rest to sure we'll finish the job we will eliminate Triple H and at Payback the end of Evolution will be extinction". Seth said.
Seth had then passed off the mic to Roman.
"Evolution triple power bombed me through an announce table just like that on Monday night big mistake because on Sunday were gonna torture you with kendo sticks, with chairs, were gonna break barricades, were gonna destroy every single announce table we have available and were gonna win again! Believe that and believe in The Shield!". Roman said.
The guys music blares through the speakers then held their fists out standing united. Once that segment was over Dean had practically rushed to the back to check on Lily who was still with John but first he changed out of his ring gear then packed up his stuff and had gotten Lily's stuff and headed to John's locker room he lightly knocked not knowing if his niece is still sick or not then John quietly opened the door and signed for him to come in.
"Hey so here's her stuff, you sure you'll be alright with Lily being sick i mean i don't have to go out". Dean said.
"Dean you deserve a break especially after the week you had i'm sure i'll be able to handle Lily besides if anything happens you'll be the first person i call". John said.
Dean knew something was up with John because when he looked over at the tv it was Bray Wyatt going against Jimmy Uso in a last man standing match then turned his attention back over to John.
"This match has really gotten to you hasn't it". Dean said.
"Not the match i-it's just when Bray mentioned Lily i admit i was scared to death of what he might do to her". John said.
"Hey as long as me, you, Seth, Roman, anyone who loves Lily is around ain't nobody gonna hurt her besides if they do i'll hunt whoever did it down and kick their ass". Dean said.
John chuckled then took Lily's stuff from Dean then Lily stirred awake unable to sleep so she slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes. Dean then saw his niece awake then went over to her.
"Hey sweetheart you ok now". Dean said.
"No it's really hot Uncle Dean". Lily said.
"That's probably the fever sweetheart". Dean said.
He then felt her forehead and she was still warm so Dean went to give her some medicine but John had stopped him.
"I already gave her some right after you guys left so she'll be good with that for the night". John said.
"Alright. Hey sweetheart i'm going out for a couple of hours tonight so your gonna stay with your dad for the night". Dean said.
"Can't i come?" Lily asked.
Dean chuckled. "Sorry sweetheart this place isn't for kids but i promise on my next day off and when your feeling better we'll spend the day doing whatever you want. How's that sound".
"It's a date". Lily said.
It made the two men chuckle then before Dean left he kissed Lily's temple then left with Roman and Seth with some of the guys, John then took Lily back to the hotel so she can rest. During the drive Lily kept dozing off but she coughed forcing herself to wake up.
"You alright honey?" John asked.
"I'm fine now". Lily said.
John then reached in the bags of medicine to pull out a couple of halls then gave them to Lily.
"Here love these should help". John said.
"Thanks daddy". Lily said.
John always had a smile when Lily had called him that and he was proud of it, by the time they got to the hotel Lily was fast asleep so he texted Nikki to see if she can help him and she just came down in shorts and tank top.
"Hey handsome". Nikki said.
"Hello beautiful, would you mind grabbing the bags while i get Lily". John said.
"Sure. Dean's letting you keep her for the night?" Nikki replied.
"He went out with a few of the guys so i told him i'd watch Lily and she's sick so i figured i could give him the night off so it'll give me practice plus i love spending time with her. I regret missing the first 8 years of her life". John said.
"Well your here for her now so that matters". Nikki said.
"I love it when she calls me 'dad' and 'daddy'. John said.
"You are such a great father". Nikki said.
They brought Lily up to the room to lay her down John then had an idea.
"Will a shower help her somewhat?" John asked.
"It should, it could help bring her temp down some". Nikki said.
John then shook Lily awake then he helped her to the bathroom so she can shower he grabbed her some clean pajamas and underwear leaving them on the sink. John then heard the shower run he then quickly changed as did Nikki he got his phone then texted Dean.
-She's fine no need to worry. John.
Just after that Dean had texted back.
-It's my job to worry. Dean.
John chuckled then put his phone down, after 10 minutes the shower cut off and Lily came out holding her dirty clothes she then put them with her others then got her hair brush and pony tails.
"Nikki could you do my hair please". Lily asked.
"Sure sweetheart how do you want it". Nikki asked.
"A bun". Lily said.
"You got it sweetheart". Nikki said.
She then began brushing Lily's long shoulder length hair then began putting it up in a bun but not too tight and she was then took out a couple of children's medications and looked at the dosage then poured it in the right amount and gave it to Lily after she took her medicine she dank some juice and felt sleepy so John picked her up and carried her to the second bed.
"G'night daddy...g'night Nikki". Lily said sleepy.
"Sweet dreams love". John whispered.
"Good night honey". Nikki said.
Once Lily was fast asleep John had taken his phone out took a picture of Lily and sent it to Dean. After a couple of hours the guys came back to the hotel changed for bed then Dean felt his phone buzz signaling a text message from John, it was a picture of Lily who was fast asleep with a caption at the bottom.
-Fast asleep and she's fine. John.
Dean had a smile on his face as he put his phone down for the night and got in his bed slowly going off to sleep.
