Flash Back.

Kate stood there in a simple black dress so many emotions as she hugged her Grandfather after the funeral they went to his house for the lunch.

"I am so sorry I wasn't here Granddad." She said as he held her close.

"It's alright bug. Just know Grandma Katherine was so proud of you So am I. You live your life." He whispered to her.

Kate tried to hold it together hearing that but broke down in tears as she just hugged him tightly.

"I do love you Granddad so much." Kate told him. "I am so sorry."

Kate pulled it together and kissed the old man on the cheek.

"Have you eaten yet?" She asked.

He shook his head no.

"No appetite." He stated.

"I know but you need to keep your strength up. How about just some juice and crackers?" She asked him.

"How about the strongest mint julep you can make?" He questioned.

"Then you need to eat something like a few crab cakes or something." She state looking sternly at her grandfather.

"Oh girl you drive a hard bargain" He said.

"I am just looking out for you." She said going to make him a plate.

Kate was making the a plate of food. When Trent came over to her.

"I am so glad you made it home." Trent said kissing her cheek. Kate backed away.

"Of course they are my family and I needed to be here." She said putting a few crab cakes on the plate.

"I am glad you are finally gonna eat something. You are looking a little thin." Trent said taking her hand. "I worry about you living all alone in Chicago and traveling so much."

"Trent I am making a plate for my Grandfather. He needs to eat his blood pressure issues and all this stress is not a good mix."

Trent signed and nodded. "Can we talk later?"

"We have nothing to talk about." She stated as she grabbed a drink from the bar and walked over to where her grandfather was and handed him the plate.

"All I ever did was love her. Why does she hate me Ethan?" Trent asked his best friend.

"Give her time bro. She'll come around." Ethan told his best friend.

"I still love her man. I want use to be together." He said.

"I know Trent. I know. Listen before she leaves just tell her and just make her listen too her how you feel."

Later that Evening.

Kate was standing out on the porch that wrapped around the large southern style home. She was on the phone with her current new boyfriend.

"I am so sorry kiddo." Shane said on the other end of the phone.

"Shane you know I hate it when you call me that." She said trying not to smile at the sound of her voice.

"I know sweetheart. Just wanted to make you smile." He said.

"I wish you were here with me. I miss you so much." Kate said as she was flicking the heel of her foot out of her high heel shoe.

"I miss you too so damn much. What are you wearing?" Shane asked.

"Shane Brandon Oh my goss." She said with a laugh.

"Oh there there it is. There is that laugh I love so much." He smiled.

"Shane you are something else." She giggled.

"You love me." He said in that cocky McMahon tone.

He wasn't lying they had been dating several months now even if she knew it was wrong she couldn't help herself he was right she was falling for this married man.

"Something like that. A black dress." She stated.

"A black dress?" He asked confused.

"I am wearing a black dress that comes just above my knee." She said with a grin.

"Really? You wearing sexy panties?" He growled.

"What panties?" She teased.

"Kate Lynn Callaway you are a damn tease and making me hard as hell." Shane groaned into the phone.

"If only you were here. Then I could take care of that for you."

"Damn sweet girl." He growled.

"Well I better get back in side." She said knowing she was just teasing but also that she should get back to family.

"Oh that's not fair. You little tease. You are gonna pay." He said.

"Promise?" She asked.

"Damn right." He stated. "Listen I do love you Kate and I am sorry I couldn't be there with you."

"I know Shane. I know." She said when she hung up the phone she just looked out into the open land behind the house.

"Grams I know he's a married man. Not something to be proud of huh?" She said softly.

When Kate heard someone coming up behind her.

"Katie sweet pea can we talk please?" Trent asked.

"Trent please?" Kate said not wanting to deal with this.

"I just have to say this. Please just let me get this all out." Trent begged. Kate just nodded her head softly.

"I love you! I've never stopped loving you. I am so damn sorry for what happened to you. To us to our family. I would never hurt you. Please just give me, give us another chance. We are better together than apart."

"Trent. There is no us. You ruined that when you lied to me. When you started to control me. I tried to move on and forgive you for the accident. But when I got home from the hospital something changed in you. You treated me like differently. I was suffocating."

"I just didn't want to lose you. I love you." He told her.

"Trenton you lied to me. I asked you if you were drinking and you said no. But you were and you became someone I hated. The jealousy that took over in you. You punched Alex in the face for no damn reason. You had to follow me and watch my every move. Those are not things you do to those you love."

"I wont apologize for the love I feel for you. I wanted to make sure you were safe. I couldn't let anything happen to you. I lied to you because I didn't want you to know how stupid I was that night. I didn't want to lose you just like we lost our baby." Trent said.

"You lost me any way. This version of you isn't someone I want in my life."

"I know if you give me another chance we can make this work. Don't give up on what we have." He said moving closer to her. Kate's back up against the railing of the porch.

"Trent. I had to learn how to move on and live this new life after the accident. I suggest you do the same." Kate told him.

"Please sweet pea. Please." Trent said placing his hand softly on her face moving into a kiss her.

"Trent. No. There is no more us. I am seeing someone." She told.

"What?" He growled his arm gripping hers.

"I am seeing someone else and I am falling in love with him. I've moved on from you." She said getting away from his grip and going back in side to her family.

Kate choose to fly out that night. She loved her family and being with them but she just needed to get away from that suffocating feeling on her chest. Kate text Shane that she was flying out. When she got home she wasn't expecting to see Shane sitting on her couch.

"Shane!" She said running to him and giving him a huge hug and kiss he wrapped his arms around her.

"Now that is a hell of a greeting." He smiled kissing her again.

"What are you doing here?"

"I felt bad I couldn't be with you and when you said you were flying home I just knew I had to be here when you got home." He said his hands already going under her shirt.

"I am so glad you're here." She said kissing him.

With in no time they were making out and Shane had scooped her up and carried her to the bed room.

End Flash Back.

Ella Kate was a happy 8 month old baby girl. She was adored and loved by so many. Seth loved being a dad and a husband. Life was dare he say perfect. Since the altercation with Trent they hadn't seen or heard from him and that was great. Seth and Kate were both back to work however Kate missed the baby every time she had to leave.

Ella was playing on the floor on her play mat. Kevin loved baby Ella and would lay in front of her and try to give her little dog kisses which would make her laugh and she would love to crawl over to him. Seth had gotten home from Black and Brave once he changed and he was playing his video games on the couch. Seth would glance down at Ella every few moments to check on her.

When Kate had finished pumping she went into the kitchen to label the bags for Holly. Then start dinner.

"Ella Kate Rollins! NOOO I lost damn it. Hey give that back little lady." Kate heard as she giggled and walked into the living room. Ella had pulled herself up to Seth and grabbed his controller making him lose the game.

Kate chuckled. "Problem?"

"No but well yes. She grabbed my controller and I lost."

"She just wants to play." Kate smiled as Seth scooped her up and was giving her sweet little kisses.

"You just wanted Daddy's attention didn't you?" He said as she was laughing her full deep baby laughs.

Kate took in this perfect moment. This was her life the life she never thought she would have.

Three Days Later.

"Kate you've got this!" Seth said as he watched his wife try to pull her self up on the bar. They were in the gym. Kate was still trying to get down to her pre-baby weight and was trying to give Cross fit another try but her body just wasn't having it.

"Seth I can't!" She said as she lost her grip and fell hard to the floor.

"Baby you alright?" Seth asked coming over to her.

"Yeah I just can't see to get past 15 pull ups. This is so damn frustrating." She said annoyed and walked away from her sweaty shirtless husband.

The ride back to the hotel was silent. Seth knew she had been struggling to lose the baby weight but she still looked amazing to him. He didn't know what to say to her but all he could do was be a supportive husband and keep giving her encouragement. When they got to the hotel Kate started to strip so she could get into the shower when Seth's heart broke seeing all the bruises up and down her back.

"Kate baby." He said softly wrapping his arms around softly from behind.

"Yeah love?" She said loving his touch.

"I am worried about you." He said feathering kissing on her neck and shoulders.

"I am fine lover." She said a moan escaping her mouth.

"You're back is bruised to shit." He said softly taking his strong hand and tracing down her back. "I think cross fit is just to much for your body."

Kate shook her head and pulled away turning around wearing just her sports bra and work out leggings.

"You think I am weak?" She asked. "You think I can't do it?"

"You know damn well that is not what I meant. I just mean maybe you need to take it easy with the cross fit. Your back is bruised Kate I don't want you to get seriously hurt that's all."

"I know. I am sorry I don't mean to take my anger out on you. I just need to lose this last 10 pounds."

"Baby you know I think you are beautiful and you don't need to lose another inch." He said moving closer to her.

"How can you still find me sexy?" She asked softly his hands roaming her body. His hand going into her pants.

"You still made me hard baby." He said cocky. He started teasing her while pressing his bulge into her thigh. When a smile crossed his face. "I still make you wet!"

"hmmm" She moaned leaning her head back in agreement.

Seth smiled kissing and sucking on her neck as he teased her more. When she let out a little yelp feeling his finger go inside her.

"Fuck!" She blurted out as he teased her more by adding another finger.

"I am gonna so you just how sex you are!" Seth chuckled as she kissed him.

"I need you." She whimpered.

That's all it took for Seth to take her over to the bed as they removed their work out clothes in record time. Before Kate new what happened Seth had entered her as they stared into each others eyes while they were making love. When they both reached their climax together Seth kissed her moving her hair away from her eyes.

"See still so damn sexy." He said kissing her softly.

They both went to shower and get ready before heading to Monday Night Raw.

Kate and Seth waved to the fans as they walked in hand in hand when Seth stopped looking over towards the fans giving a weird look over that way.

"Problem baby?" She asked.

"No. Just thought I saw something thing but it was nothing." He said kissing her lips softy.

Later that evening.

Today was super busy. Kate was seeing super star after super star getting them treated and cleared for in ring action. While Seth was busy with make a wish, meet and greets and Raw. Seth and Kate didn't even have time to see one another. But they both made sure to make time to call Holly to check on Ella.

When the show was over and Seth did the dark match he beat Corbin with ease. Thanked the fans for coming and went right to the locker room to shower and change.

"Finally you ready to get the hell out of here?" Seth asked kissing his wife coming to the room.

"I am. It's been a long day." She said rubbing her chest a little in discomfort.

"You didn't have time to pump today?" Seth asked glancing at his wife while he was getting a set of clean close from his luggage.

"I didn't. I think I can wait until we get to the hotel." She said.

"I still have to shower so pump now baby. Then we can grab some food and Ya know round two!" He said moving his eye brows up and down.

She smiled and like that plan. She sat down and started to pump while Seth got in the shower. When he got out of the shower he came and gave her a kiss standing in front of her in just the towel.

"You know Rollins you are a damn tease."

"I know." He said cocky drying off and changing his clothes. "You almost ready?"

"Yeah just a few more ounces you know the left is a little slower." She chuckled over the last several months she couldn't believe the odd conversations her and Seth as parents would have with one another.

"Yeah the rights always been my favorite any way." He chuckled as she giggled and shook her head.

"I am just gonna take our luggage out to the car then." He said getting their luggage.

"Sounds good. I will be less than 10 minutes." She told him. He leaned down and kissed her as he headed out to the car.

Kate had just finished pumping and was putting the stuff in the breast pump travel bag. When she heard some commotion outside in the door. She heard screaming and yelling. Kate stood up put the back pack on her back and headed out to the hall way and looked around.

"CALL 911! Some one find that bastard!" Hunter said when he and Shane saw Kate.

"Kate there you are." Shane said frantic.

"Yeah what's wrong? I was just in the locker room." She said confused.

"Kate it's Seth." Hunter said grabbing her hand as they were basically now running.

"Seth? He took our stuff to the rental car." Kate said still not sure what was going on until they reached the parking lot and her heart stopped seeing an ambulance, Dr. Chris, cops and a bunch of commotion as Seth was laying on the ground in a puddle of his own blood.

"SETH!" She screamed running over to him as Shane tried to hold her back so the EMT's and Dr. Chris could work.

"WHAT HAPPENED! SETH!" She screamed.

"Kate Lynn listen to me." Hunter said. "He was attacked in the parking lot."

"SETH!" She screamed trying to get out of Shane's grip as Seth was being loaded on to the stretcher and into the Ambulance. "SETH LET GO OF ME SHANE! I HAVE TO GET TO HIM SETH!" She cried.

"I will take you to him." Shane said.

"I will meet you there. I have to deal with this." He said referring to all the police.

Shane nodded as he took a hysterical Kate to the car as they headed to the hospital.

Several Hours Later.

Kate's head laid on Shane's shoulder she was devastated that her husband was in the OR.

"I don't understand." Kate finally said breaking the silence.

"I don't either sweet girl." Shane said.

"How could this happen?" She said in tears looking at Hunter. "Where the hell was security? You were suppose to protect him. I was suppose to protect him." She said in tears Shane's arm still around her.

"I am so sorry Kate. I don't know I am still trying to get answers. They are looking for the person in the hoodie." Hunter said.

"He has to make it. He has too. Ella needs her dad and I need my husband." She sniffled baring her head into Shane's shoulder his heart breaking for her.

"We'll find the monster that did this Kate. I promise." Shane whispered in her ear and kissed the top of her head.
