A few days later Alex and Dave were in Kansas City, Missouri for a house show that night. They had spent the night traveling from Topeka, Kansas to Kansas City. They were exhausted. They didn't get to the hotel until 4 in the morning. It took them about 2 hours before they finally got to sleep. It was about 8 in the morning when Alex's cell phone went off. She groaned as she turned to answer it. "Hello?" she said half asleep and she was annoyed for being called so early.
"Alex, it's Stephanie. I need a really big favor today."
"What?" asked Alex as she sat up
"My nanny got sick and I need someone to keep an eye on my daughter while I go to a meeting this morning."
"Um.," said Alex, "Kids really aren't my thing."
"Alex, please. I need someone it's only for a couple of hours."
"When you say a couple of hours do you mean 2 hours or 4 hours?"
"The meeting will only be two hours. We're just making some changes to the script for RAW and we need to discuss the changes since Edge just went out on injury. I can't take Aurora to the meeting so can you please help me out?"
"I don't know, Stephanie. I don't really take care of kids and Dave and me got to the hotel really late and I was going to catch up on some sleep before we go to the arena."
"Alex, please. I'm desperate. Can you please help me out? If you do this for me you can have Monday off and I'll type up all the scripts and deliver them. I just need a babysitter right now."
"Okay, Stephanie. I'll do it," she said. "What time is she coming?"
"8:30," she said.
"8:30? Dave is still sleeping."
"Well, my meeting starts at 9. She's not going to be any trouble. I promise. Dave won't even know she's there," said Stephanie.
"Okay," said Alex as she got out of bed carefully trying not to wake Dave up. Sometimes she wondered what Stephanie thought of her. Stephanie was always making her do odd jobs like getting coffee, babysitting her daughter and other stuff that Alex probably shouldn't have been doing. "I'll see you when you get here, Bye."
"Okay, Bye," said Stephanie as she hung up the phone. Alex laid her phone down on the dresser and got an outfit out of her suitcase. She just threw on sweatpants and a t-shirt. She brushed her hair up into a messy bun and then went to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
When she walked out of the bathroom Dave was sitting up in the bed and said, "What is going on?"
"Good morning to you too," said Alex.
"I'm sorry. Good morning, Baby," he said wiping his eyes. "We don't have to do anything today so why are we up so early?"
"Because Stephanie called me a few minutes ago and needs me to baby-sit Aurora for her."
"I'm sorry but are you a babysitter now?"
"I was asking myself the same question but I got Monday off out of the deal so I'll be sleeping in on Monday," she said. "Where are we on Monday night anyway?"
"Las Vegas," he said.
"Nice. We're definitely going out after RAW that night."
"Alex, the thought of you in Vegas scares me. You're wild when we go to the bars in regular towns but this is Vegas who knows what kind of wild trouble you can get into."
"I guess you're going to have to wait to find out on Monday and just think Randy and John are going to be there."
"You and Randy are a bad combination together. Just promise me you won't get us thrown out of the bars or casinos."
"I can't make any promises but I will try to be on my best behavior," she said with a smile. "But you know once I get a few drinks in me that's not possible."
"So I'm in for a wild night?" he asked getting out of bed to get dressed.
"Most likely," she said.
"Well, I have to say I love your wild nights. They turn out to be pretty fun," he said. "You can give me a preview now if you'd like."
"Sorry, I can't. Stephanie will be here with Aurora at any minute," she said. "So you might want to get some clothes on. I'm sure Stephanie wouldn't appreciate bringing her daughter into the room to see you without clothes on. So get dressed."
"Okay. And then I'm going to get us some coffee. Are you sure you can handle Steph's kid?"
"I'm hoping so. I don't really know how to handle kids."
"This should be a great experience," said Dave as he started getting dressed.
"A great learning experience. Shut up, Dave."
"Well, you're good with Athena so maybe you'll be good with Aurora."
"Aurora is two and Athena is 9. There is a difference. Athena can communicate a 2 year old can't."
"Aurora isn't 2 yet," said Dave, "she's still one and I'm sure she's in diapers too."
"Well, that's great. I have no idea how to change a diaper."
"I hope that you're joking."
"I'm not," she said. "I told you I'm not around babies or kids. I don't know what to do with them."
"This is going to be hilarious."
"Instead of making fun of me why don't you help me?"
"I'm willing to help you but I think it's going to be more fun laughing at you while you're taking care of her."
"You're such an ass," she said as she playfully hit him.
"And I would refrain from using that language around Stephanie's kid. I'm pretty sure she doesn't want her using those types of words."
"I know how to talk around little kids. I'm not stupid. Your little one has a mouth on her."
"Which one?"
"Keilani. She uses some strong language. I'm pretty sure she's called me a bitch a couple times. And I do believe at one point she labeled me a f**king bitch."
" I'm sorry about that. That's the influence of her mother," he said.
"Uh huh. You have a pretty foul mouth too. I think she gets it from you too."
"Probably. The Bautista's have a cursing problem."
"I know," she said. There was a knock on the door. "Well, that must be Stephanie," she said walking over to the door. She opened the door and saw Stephanie standing there with her daughter. "Good morning, Stephanie."
"Morning, Alex," she said. "This is Aurora. She's already eaten breakfast so she shouldn't be hungry. There are diapers in the bag if you need them. There is a pacifier in the bag but don't give it to her unless she's really fussy or ready to go to sleep because Paul and me are trying to break the habit. You have my cell phone if you need me and if she gets thirsty or needs a snack it's all in the bag. She's a little shy but she'll start warming up to you."
"Okay," said Alex. Stephanie kissed Aurora before she handed her to Alex.
"Bye, Rory," she said, "Mommy will be back very soon. Miss Alex is going to watch you until I get back. And Alex thank-you so much for doing this. I greatly appreciate it."
"No problem, Stephanie," she said.
"All right. I'll be back as soon as the meeting is over. Be good, Rory and thank-you again, Alex."
"You're welcome. She'll be fine," said Alex.
"Okay. I'll be back later. Bye."
"Bye," said Alex as she shut the door. She took Aurora's bag and laid it down on the floor. As soon as Alex shut the door Aurora started crying because she didn't know Alex and her mom was gone. She cried for her mom as Alex was trying to calm her down. "It's okay, Rory." she said hugging her. "Your mommy will be right back. Do you want to watch some TV?" Aurora nodded her head. Alex walked her over to a chair in the room and sat her down on it. She flipped the TV on for her and said, "Dave, I don't know what little kids watch. What do I put on?"
"I don't know. Put on Dora or something like that. Backyardigans or something like that," he said.
"And they're on what channel?"
"I don't know. I think Nick Jr. I'm not sure."
"Okay," said Alex as she tried to find Nickelodeon. "Who would have thought that on a Saturday morning I would be looking for some child shows."
"Get used to it," said Dave, "when we have kids this is what your Saturday is going to be like every week."
"Kid. One kid," she said finally finding something for her to watch. She landed on the Disney channel for her to watch. Alex had no idea what show was on but Aurora seemed to like it because it got her quiet. Alex breathed a sigh of relief at the peace and quiet that filled the room.
"All right, Baby. I'm going to get us some coffee. I will be back as soon as I can. Okay?"
"Okay, Dave. Thank-you," she said giving him a quick kiss. She was a little scared to be left alone with Aurora because she had no idea what to do and when it came to kids she was completely lost.
"You're welcome," he said as he walked out the door.
As soon as he walked out the door Aurora started crying. "Aurora, it's okay," said Alex as she walked over to her. "Do you want some juice?"
"Juice!" said Aurora.
"Okay. I'll get you some juice. Hold on." Alex got into the bag and got a cup of juice out for her. She handed her the sippy cup and it stopped Aurora's crying. Alex was getting impatient with the crying and she felt like tacking another 5 years on her decision to have kids with Dave. She was no where ready to have kids. She was regretting telling Stephanie she would baby-sit for her but she kept telling herself that she had Monday off for doing it. Finally, Dave came back with the coffee. "Thank-you," said Alex.
"You're welcome," he said as he laid it down on the little table in the room. "How is everything going?"
"Horrible. I don't know why I told her I would baby-sit."
"Well, everything looks like it's going fine," he said handing her the coffee. "Are you ready for one of those yet?" he asked sitting down.
"No," said Alex, "and not for another 10 years."
"I thought it was 5?"
"Well, after today it's 10," she said sitting down next to him.
"Stephanie takes advantage of you," he said, "there is no reason why you're babysitting her kid today. She has a father that is more than capable of watching her. He's probably off sleeping."
"Well, I look at it this way. Stephanie is going on maternity leave again in a couple months so I'll have a break from her."
"Look at you, always looking on the bright side of a situation. Just to let you know she worked up until she delivered Aurora and then was only out 6 weeks before she came back to work. She might be the same way this this baby too."
"Don't take away my dreams but still 6 weeks is long enough time away from her. She drives me nuts!"
"If you don't want to work for WWE anymore you don't have to."
"I like it I just don't like Stephanie."
"Welcome to the club. Not many people do."
"I mean she's nice when we're not working but when we are working she's like a pitbull. She wanted me to break up that fight with you and Randy last week. How am I supposed to break up a fight between you two?"
"They got security to handle it. There was no need for you to get involved. You should never in no way, shape or form be breaking up fights between guys, out at ring side or anything like that. That is not what your job entails and if you were to get hurt I would be pissed off."
"Pissed off," said Aurora.
"Look what you did, Dave," said Alex.
"Great. I taught Vince's granddaughter a new word."
"It's actually kind of funny," said Alex as she laughed. "Although if it would be my kid I wouldn't find it so funny."
"Aurora, we don't use that word," said Dave.
"Pissed off," she said with a smile.
Alex held back the laughter as she heard Aurora repeat it over and over again. "Alex, do something."
"What am I supposed to do? I didn't teacher her the word."
"Sing a Dora song or something."
"Um. That would work if I knew any of those songs," she said. "Okay, Aurora, do you want to play. I'm sure you have some toys in here," said Alex as she went through her bag. She finally found a baby doll for Aurora to play with. "Aw look it's a baby!" she said handing it to Aurora.
"Baby," said Aurora. "Baby bottle."
"Okay. Let me see if I can find it in here," said Alex as she went through the bag. She dug and dug until she found the baby doll's bottle and handed it to Aurora.
"Tank-you," she said.
"You're welcome," said Alex as she smiled. Aurora started feeding her baby. Alex thought it was so cute. Aurora was feeding her baby like a pro. She was doing pretty good for only being 20 months old. "What's your baby's name?"
"Baby," she said.
"Okay," said Alex. She figured the baby wouldn't have a name but she asked her anyway. She was doing her best to keep her occupied. Alex was starting to think it wasn't too bad and that she could definitely handle having a kid a little sooner than 10 years. Dave just sat back and watched the two interact. He thought it was going a lot better than he thought it would. It was like Alex was a natural with kids but then he remembered this was only a 2 hour thing not an everyday thing.
Everything was going well until Aurora put her baby doll down and walked over to Alex and said, "Diapey."
"Do you need your diaper changed?" asked Alex.
"Yes," said Aurora, "Diapey."
"Okay. Hold on," said Alex as she got a diaper out of the bag. "Dave, do you want to help me change her diaper. I have no idea how to do this. It's a little different than a baby doll."
"I don't know how to change diapers either," he said.
"You have two kids. How do you not know?"
"I don't know. I guess because I never changed their diapers. Sorry," he said.
"Fine, I guess I'll just figure this out myself," she said as she laid Aurora down. She took her pants off and took off her old diaper and rolled it up to throw away. Dave watched her as she put the new diaper on her. She fastened it and put Aurora's pants back on. "Well, I guess it wasn't that bad," she said handing the diaper to Dave.
"Why are you giving that to me?"
"For you to throw away," she said.
"Fine," he said.
"Thank-you, Baby," she said with a smile. She got up off the floor to go to the bathroom to wash her hands. Aurora followed behind her. She tapped Alex's leg and held up her hands. "Do you want to wash your hands too?" asked Alex. Aurora nodded her head and Alex picked her up and turned the water on. She let Aurora put her hands under the water to wash them. When she was finished Alex gave her a towel to dry them off with. They walked out of the bathroom and Alex got a book out of Aurora's bag to read to her. Alex sat down on the chair and put Aurora on her lap so she could read her the book. Aurora had Alex read the book at least 2 times and Alex was getting ready to read it a 3rd time before there was a knock on the door.
Dave got up to answer the door to see Stephanie standing there. "Hey, Steph," he said.
"Hey, Dave."
"You can come in," said Dave.
"Thanks," said Stephanie as she walked in the room. "Hey, Rory. Mommy's back." Aurora got excited when she saw her mom so Alex put her down on the floor so she could run over to her mom. "How was she?" asked Stephanie as she picked her up.
"She was good. She cried when you first left but then I put something on Disney on for her and she settled down. We played with her baby doll and read a book. She was very good," said Alex putting Aurora's stuff in the bag for Stephanie. "Although there was a little problem," said Alex.
"What?"
"Dave kind of taught her a new word."
"Oh what word would that be?" asked Stephanie.
"Pissed off," she replied.
"Oh okay. I thought you were going to say she learned the f word or something. I should have told you she's been a sponge lately. She learned asshole from Paul. That was fun when she was going around saying that."
"It sounds fun," said Alex.
"Well, thank you so much, Alex. And you can have Monday off for doing this today. Thank-you."
"You're welcome," said Alex handing her Aurora's bag. "If you ever need me to baby-sit her again I will gladly do it. Any time you need help I'm here," she said walking her to the door.
"I appreciate that, Alex, Thank-you. You two have a good day," she said walking out the door.
"You too," said Alex before she shut the door.
"Well, that wasn't as bad as you thought it was going to be was it?" asked Dave as he hugged her.
"Not really. She's cute and very sweet. Almost makes me want a kid now."
"I'm down for that if you want to have one now."
"I said almost," she said. "Something tells me that if I got pregnant before we were married my mom wouldn't like it. Maybe instead of tacking on 5 years maybe I'll knock off two years," she said.
"Okay," said Dave. "And after seeing you with Aurora today you will be a great mom there is no doubt in my mind."
"Thanks," she said as she kissed his lips.
A couple days later they were in Las Vegas for RAW. Alex and Dave arrived at the arena later than they were supposed to. They had gotten a little too caught up with their alone time and lost track of time. They walked to the locker room and were greeted by Randy and John. "You're late," said Randy.
"I know," said Dave. "I don't need you to tell me. We lost track of time," he said looking at Alex and smiled.
"Well, you better get to make up," said John.
"I don't need make up," he said.
"Well, you better do something to cover up those hickeys before Vince throws a fit about them. He's already pissed because you were late."
"Oh shit. Alex. What did I tell you about that stuff?"
"I'm sorry," she said, "I forgot. Do you want me to get my cover up out to cover them?"
"No," said Dave. "I'm not covering shit."
"You're just asking to get in trouble tonight aren't you?" asked John.
"I guess so. We're in Vegas. I don't care about it."
"Okay," said Randy, "but you know Vince and how he does things."
"Well, I also know how his daughter does things. She takes advantage of Alex."
"This isn't about me," said Alex. "And besides I didn't mind babysitting Aurora on Saturday."
"Is Vince looking for me?"
"No," said Randy, "but he knows you were late. It's not like you were 5 minutes late you were an hour late."
"Like I said we lost track of time. We were busy and time was the last thing we were worried about. And I don't have a match tonight. I just have to cut a promo about you so I'm not worried about it. I'm just going out there in my street clothes saying what I have to and then peacing out."
"Peacing out?" asked John.
"Yeah. I'm going to peace out after that come back here and spend time with Alex until the show is over."
"Doesn't she have to work?" asked Randy.
"Nope. She has the night off."
"Oh," he said. "We're going out tonight after RAW right?"
"Of course," said Alex, "It's Vegas!"
"Why do I have a feeling this night is going to end in a fight?" asked John.
"You know I have a feeling too that this is going to end up being a bad night," said Randy.
"What do you mean a feeling?" asked Alex.
"Like something bad is going to happen and there's going to be a fight," said John.
"All right. Which one of us is landing in jail tonight?" asked Dave.
"Not that kind of feeling," said John, "It's just a feeling that there's going to be a really big fight."
*A/N: So Alex did good babysitting for the first time and Stephanie probably shouldn't have put her in that position but she was deseperate and Now they're in Vegas for RAW...so many things could happen when they go out..John and Randy both have bad feelings...hmmmm..wonder what that could be. So what did you think? Please review. And as always thank you for taking the time to read.
*Chapter 30: RAW in Vegas and they go out..are John and Randy's feelings right or wrong?
