As soon as I got backstage, the medical team was in front of me.

"I'm fine."

"Zeta, you can barely stand. What the hell were you thinking when you jumped off that ladder?!" Steph yelled slash responded. I have an extremely witty comeback, but I value my life, so I just shrugged my shoulders. Hunter just shook his head with a sigh.

"Just take care of her." He told the staff. I was laying on the table and they were looking at my ribs and the cut I have on my back. Roman, Kaitlyn, Randy, Stephanie, Hunter, and Seth was in the room with me.

"Well girl, it looks as if you broke 4 ribs, have a mild concussion, your vision will be blurry for a few days, you will have a black eye, and that cut needs stitches." I looked at Stephanie with my good eye and she looks as if she wants to slap the hell out of me.

"Is that all?" I asked sarcastically and Randy rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"You're not wrestling on Monday." Hunter said and I snapped my head up.

"But Hunter-"

"No! You went too far and this is the consequence! You knew better and if your mom was here, she would agree." My mouth was opening and closing cause I was caught of guard.

"Randy-" I tried, but he shook his head again.

"I agree with him."

"Traitor. Ro-"

"Sorry baby girl but I'm on his side." Before I could even ask anybody else Stephanie stepped in.

"Everyone agrees with him, Zeta. You aren't wrestling on Monday and that's final."

"But we'll be in New Orleans on Monday! You know how much I love New Orleans! That's where I'm originally from!"

"You're from New Orleans?" Seth asked and everyone just looked at him.

"Sorry, that's not the point. Continue."

"Zeta, don't argue with me! You're not wrestling! End of story!" I heart started beating faster, my blood pressure starting rising, and I am officially pissed!

"Are you serious?!"

"Zeta, calm down." Kaitlyn said.
"You're kidding me, right?! If I was any other person, you would be alright with me getting back in the ring, bad eye and all! I'm not a fragile doll that has to be stored up and protected!"

"Okay, everyone needs to clear out! I'm trying to stitch her up, but you are all making it difficult! The more her blood pressure rises, the more she bleeds. You can continue this argument later." The doctor intervened. Everyone nodded.

"This isn't over Zeta." Hunter said and they all walked out. I took a few deep breaths and calmed down.

"Thank you." I said to the doctor.

"You're welcome." After a few moments of silence, she spoke up. "You know that they're only looking out for you?"

"I understand that, but I'm tired of being protected and coddled like a child. If I was any other person-"

"But you're not just any other person. You're like their child Zeta. You're family to them. They love you way too much to let you damage yourself. You did a lot tonight and if you want to keep doing what you love, then I suggest you rest this week." She finished stitching me up and put a bandage around my ribs. I gingerly got off the table and put on a large hoodie. "When you take your shower, be very careful and apply this ointment on your stitches 3 times a day."

"Yes, ma'am." I grabbed my stuff and walked toward the door, but the doctor called me.

"Oh, and Zeta?" I turned around.

"Ma'am?"

"Make sure you take something for pain. Knowing you, you have leftover pain pills. I know you hate taking medicine, but do yourself this favor. I know you must be hurting." I smiled and nodded my head.

"Yes ma'am and thank you." After I left the exam room, I went to Stephanie's office. People were congratulating me as I walked by. They were telling me how it was one hell of a match. The only thing I could do was smile and thank them. I honestly think I did good. For the rest of the night, I sat in the office. I watched as Dean went after Kevin Owens. He made a dumb move by trying to hit Owens with a chair. Kevin countered and hit him in his bad knee. Then he did a submission hold on Dean and he couldn't get out. Kevin had to let go when Dean poked him in the eye. When Kevin got up, he took the protecter off of the ring post. Kevin then took a chair and hit Dean in the face with it. Dean was staggering really bad and Kevin took advantage of that. He grabbed Dean and hit his face against the unprotected ring post. Dean's face became a crimson mask of blood. Finally, Roman and Seth came out and helped Dean. They attacked Kevin and threw him out of the ring. When they were finished, they helped Dean get backstage. Dean ended up having stitches and a major concussion.

"Idiot." I muttered as I shook my head. The main reason why Dean when,after Kevin is because he hit on Paige. Speaking of Paige...

"Did you see that?!" Paige yelled as she burst through the door of the office.

"Yep."

"Dean is a jealous idiot!"

"Yep."

"God, he's so dumb for this!"

"Yep."

"He needs to get his life together."

"Yep." To be honest, I'm just going to let her rant while I sit here and eat my Bo-Berry Biscuits from catering.

"I need to get a new boyfriend."

"Nope." Paige sighs.

"Yeah, you're right. I realize that I'm falling in love with that man."

"Okay."

"I'm mad at you by the way."

"Okay."

"I want to yell at you so bad,but I know that Stephanie already gave you an ear full."

"Yep." Paige gave me a kiss on the forehead.

"I love you,but don't you ever do that again. You hear me?"

"Yep." Paige just chuckled and shook her head.

"Let me go back and check up on him."

"Okay. Stay pretty."

"You too." She walked out and I just sat there watching the whole show and minding my business. By the time the show ended I just wanted to go to the hotel room and get in the bed. Roman met me in the locker room and he hugged me from behind.

"You know I'm mad at you, right?" I looked over shoulder at him.
"I understand." He leaned down and kissed the side of my neck. His beard tickled which caused me to giggle. "Come on. I want to get to this hotel room and go to sleep." He kissed the side of my neck once more and we walked out. He had his arm wrapped around my shoulders. When we walked out, the security had the fans at bay. They were cheering and taking pictures of us. They started chanting,"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" I looked at Roman, he looked at me and we kissed. Cameras were flashing and they were cheering. I pulled back and I started laughing. He was smiling too and we walked to our cars.

"See you later?" I asked and he nodded. He kissed my forehead and got in his car. When I got to mines, Naomi was there. "What's up?"

"Can I ride with you? We have a lot to talk about." I nodded. We got in the car and I asked.

"Are you alright if I put on some music?"

"Sure." My speakers started blasting J Cole and Naomi smirked at me.

"I want to thank you."

"For what?" She started smiling hugely.

"For setting me up with Jimmy. We have a date tomorrow."

"I'm glad. You really liked him and he's a great guy. I hope that it works out for you two."

"You're the best and congratulations on winning that tittle girl!" I laughed and shook my head.

"Thanks and I'm happy for you." We pull up to the hotel and we had people usher us through the crowd of people. As soon as I got to my suite, I jumped in the shower. The hot water felt so good on my sore muscles. I couldn't stand directly in the water cause of the stitches,but it still felt good. When I got out, I put on my favorite pajama pants with Snoopy on it. I have loved Snoopy every since I was little. I then put on a big shirt and I put all my hair in a messy bun.

I took something for my pain and laid out on the couch. Everything hurts! Just thinking right now hurts. I heard someone walk into the room and I knew it was Rome. I was laying on my back and he saw my face scrunched up in pain.

"You alright baby girl?" I opened my one good eye to look at him. He had that smirk as to say, "that's what you get."

"Now, you know I'm not." He did a small chuckle.

"Let's get you comfortable." He sat on the couch and I crawled on his lap and put my head on his chest.

"I'm comfortable like this." He slowly rubbed my back as I listened to his heart beat.

"Why'd you do it?"

"I didn't have a reason to be honest."

"Fair enough. What were you thinking?"

"I wasn't. The only thought I had was when I got son top of the ladder. I thought 'wow, it's really high up here.'" I didn't need to look up to know that he rolled his eyes.

"No wonder you and Dean get along so well." I went to laugh, but ended up groaning in pain.

"Don't make me laugh." My phone started ringing and he grabbed it.

"It's your mom."

"Oh Jesus, help me." I took the phone.

"Good Luck."

"Hello?" I say unsurely.

"ANAMARIA SOPHIA GOMEZ!" My mom yells.

"Yes?"

"WHAT IN GOD'S NAME WERE YOU THINKING?"

"Um-"
"I'M NOT FINISHED! YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT! I KNOW YOU WEREN'T THINKING WHEN YOU DOVED OFF THAT LADDER! I BET YOUR ASS IS THINKING NOW!" I didn't bother to say anything else because if I did, my mother would continue to rant and I would never hear the ending of it. So, after a few moments of complete silence, my mom finally spoke.

"How are you feeling?"

"I"m hurting and very sore."

"I know and that's what you get." Geez, thanks mom. "By the way, Hunter called me. You're NOT getting back into the ring on Monday." I looked at Rome and he shrugged his shoulders.

"But ma-"

"No. That answer is final."

"But-"
"Love you. Call you tomorrow. Bye."

"Ma-" She hung up on me. I looked at my phone in shocked.

"I agree with her." Roman's deep baritone said.

"Of course you do, but this is New Orleans. My original hometown."

"I meant to ask you about that." I put my head back on his chest.

"Yes. I am originally from The Big Easy. That's why I'm fluent in French and that's why I have a Cajun accent that I hide."

"I knew you sounded odd when you get upset. It comes out and you try to cover it up."

"Yep."
"More and more surprises with you."

"Well, Cher it is what it is." I let my accent slip with a yawn. I looked up and he was smiling at me.

"You should let your accent out more often."

"Eh, I'm good." After a while I started falling asleep on him.

"Let's get you to the bed."

"Okay." He lifted me up and I groaned in pain.

"Sorry."

"It's okay." He gently laid me down and put me under the covers. He was about to leave, but I grabbed onto his shirt.

"Stay please?" He laid beside me and we both fell asleep.


MONDAY NIGHT RAW:
"I don't wanna do this." I whined.

"Come on,girl. This is in your honor. The Women's Championship is back!" Kate said excitedly.

"Okay, but Charlotte better not start with me or I will hurt her."
"That's the spirit." Seth said and I did a small smile. The revealing is right at the beginning of the show and that's what everyone is getting ready for. Everyone left so they could surround the ring and about 30 minutes later a crew member called me to go out there.

My music hit and I smiled. I gave fans high fives and did pictures with my black eye and all. By the time I got in the ring, I was out of breath and the applause was thunderous.

"Alright everyone. As you all know. We are here to give one of the most hard working and stubborn women I know the Women's Championship." Steph started and everyone cheered. "This woman help evolve women's wrestling. She's a go getter and she never let anything hold her back. She is like my own daughter." The whole crew was in the ring with me. Paige nudged me in my ribs lightly and smiled.

"With that being said, she is as stubborn as a government mule."

"Yes,Lord." Randy said under his breath and I did a quick glare at him.

"But with that being said, here is your new Women's Champion, Zeta." The crowd cheered and the people around the ring clapped. I hugged Steph and Hunter but before I could say anything, Charlotte stepped into the ring with her busted up nose and all.

"Hold up. How could she be the Women's Champion?! I"m way better than her. By the way Zeta, I'm glad that you went casual for the occasion." I looked down at my outfit. I was wearing a purple shirt, blue skinny jeans, combat boots, and a leather jacket. I'm comfortable, so that is all that matters.

"Charlotte, I can always change out my outfit, but you're stuck with your face forever."

"Got 'em." Dean said.

"Is this who you want as your champion? I mean her skills are average at best and I am superior. My father is Ric-" Before she could finish that sentence, I super kicked her. I got her nose once again.

"Sweet Chin Music!" Jr yelled and I groaned in pain. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Bad Zeta!

"This is why you're not wrestling tonight." Hunter said and the crowd Boo'ed.

"What they said." I replied, pointing to the crowd.

"It can't be that bad Z." Dean said with his arm on my shoulders and I glared at him.

"Neither are you Ambrose." Steph said.

"Hold the hell on." I snorted and leaned on Roman.

"You still have a concussion."

"This is some bullsh-"

"Come on Dean. This is the Big Easy." I said and the crowd cheered. "We can head on down to Bourbon Street and party. This is my hometown man!"

"But I don't want to be stuck outside with you. No offense."

"Fine! That's why you're paying for your own drinks this time you cheap bastard." I muttered the last part under my breath.

"Cheap?! You get paid more than I do and I know about your stock portfolio. Paige told me! Yeah. I know you're sitting on a fortune!" We started arguing and everyone was looking at us go back and forth like a kitten at a tennis match.

"Children!" Hunter intervened and I pointed to Dean.

"He started it." Dean scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Well, I'm finishing it! You two aren't wrestling and that's final! As a matter of fact, let's get security out here to escort these two out of here." The crowd starting booing.

"Hunter really?! You can escort him out. I can be reasonable. It's this crazy lunatic that you have to worry about." Dean looked at me as if to say 'really?' Security got to the ring and they lead us to the back.

"Nice going Ambrose."

"Really Anamaria?" I elbowed him in the gut.

"If you would've kept your mouth shut, maybe you wouldn't have been getting thrown out with me." I saw Enzo and Big Cas. "Hold on. I have a plan."

"Hey Enzo."

"How you doin'?"

"Not too good. As you can see, they kicked us out for the night."

"Steph is just a hater." I smiled.

"I need a favor."

"Name it."

"Can you keep watch on everybody and let me know as soon as something important happens?" Big Cas wrapped his arms around my shoulders.

"We got you Zeta."

"Thank you. Well, I'm off." I gave each of them a hug and left. Dean gave me a questioning look. "We got a look out. They will let me know if something big happens."

"You're the best."

"Now you say that. Let's head to Bourbon Street and get into as much trouble as possible." Dean got this mischievous smirk.

"Now you're speaking my language." New Orleans better be ready for us because we are about to raise some hell.


1 hour later on Monday Night RAW

"Social media is blowing up with pictures of Dean Ambrose and Zeta all over New Orleans." Jr stated.

"I wanna see them." King replied. They loaded them up on the big screen in the arena. The first one was of Dean on a mechanical bull wearing an oversized hat and a red plastic cup in his hand. The second picture was of Zeta stuffing her face with beignets and her glaring at Dean who was making fun of her while she was eating. The third picture was of Dean and Zeta surrounded by fans and doing crazy poses. The fourth picture was of Dean trying to do a beer drinking contest and Zeta face showing her disappointment. The last photo was of Dean almost passing out from the beer contest and Zeta laughing at him. The crowd was laughing and cheering at the photos and Jr was shaking his head.

"Maybe letting those two loose in New Orleans was a bad idea." King said.

"You can say that again." Jr replied.


Meanwhile, with Dean and Zeta

"Nice tattoo." Dean said.
"Thank you. I always wanted one, but I never got it." He smirked at me and my phone vibrated. Hurry back! They have to fight Owens, Jericho, Banks, and Lynch! "We got to go. They have a match." I showed him the text.

"Let's go." We pulled up to the arena and he sighed. "How are we going to get in there?"

"Do you realize who you're talking to? I know all the entrances and exits and I know where all the security is right now." Dean smiled at me.

"Z, I think you're my long lost sister." I snorted and rolled my eyes.

"Come on." I lead him all the way to the back.

"I didn't know that there was an entrance back here." He went to open it. "It's locked." I rolled my eyes and started picking the lock. Once it was unlocked, I looked at him. "Bad ass."

"Thank you. Now let's go." We walked within the shadows so no one would see us. Dean still had liquor with him and he took a tub of popcorn. I bought some more beignets before we left so I was good to go. We walked out and the crowd went nuts.

"What?!" Jerry said in the high pitched voice.

"What are they doing here?" We walked to the ring and they met us half way. Seth sniffed Dean's drink and smiled. Rome did a drinking sign with Dean. Paige and Kate looked at me and shook their heads. Paige kissed Dean before going back and I did the same to Rome. We joined Jr and Jerry at the commentary table.

"Hey you guys." I said happily.

"Hey Zeta. You look radiant." Jr said and I smiled.

"I had fun today." The match got under way and our guys were doing pretty good.

"Congratulations on the title."

"Thanks Jerry." Roman had Owens in a corner and he tagged in Seth. Seth was too amped to get in. He went in between the 1st and the 2nd rope and then he trip. He landed face first on the mat. I tried not to laugh, I really did. Dean choked on his drink because he was laughing. Dean is such a jerk. Other than that, the match went great and we won. After the show was over, we went to the hotel and everyone got dressed to go out. I was in Rome's room. I was laying on his bed reading and minding my own business until he took the book out my hand. He kissed both of my hands and then he kissed the both sides of my necks.

"You know I love you, right?"

"You do?"

"Mhm."

"Even when I'm difficult?"

"Yep."

"And when I look rough, like now?"

"You're still beautiful." He kissed my nose and I giggled.

"Flattery will get you everywhere. And you know what?"

"What?"

"I love you too."


Hey Y'all! I just wanted to update before the Christmas and New Years. I hope your Thanksgiving was great and I hope you continue to have a happy holidays. Love you guys!
