WWE Daughters
Hey, all. Here is the next chapter of WWE Daughters. I have no clue how/when I'm going to end this so it could go on for awhile. Hope you guys like this chapter and thanks for all the reviews.
THE DEADMAN'S BACK! FINALLY! SmackDown can go back to being good again...well, as good as it can be with the Brothers of Destruction at each other's throats. I was totally on Kane's side...until SummerSlam. Why the hell would you do that to your own brother? I don't get it. Oh yeah, and Team WWE beat the loser Nexus people! YAY!
OK, see ya at the bottom.
Chapter 38: Walking on Egg Shells?
It was five months later and Baby Kelsey, Taker, and Mel were visiting Jeff in Cameron, NC. Kelsey had been allowed to go home a few days earlier since she was doing better. She had gained weight and it was as if the attack that had caused her to come early hadn't happened. Mel and Taker walked into the house with a sleeping Kelsey.
"Dad? Are you here?"
"In the backyard, Baby Girl."
Mel and Taker walked out into the backyard. Everyone was there, even Jen, whose gaze travelled slowly from Taker, to Mel, to Kelsey who was sound asleep in her Dad's arms.
"Mel, I..." Jen started.
"It's alright Jen. I forgive you." Mel said.
"But...I could have killed her." Jen said.
"I know that. But I also know that it wasn't your fault."Mel said.
Jen jumped up and hugged her best friend. She was in tears. Everyone else cheered and the noise woke up Kelsey, who began to cry.
"Hey, it's OK, Jen. We're all going to get our payback." Mel said.
"I can help with that. I mean, I know Punk and Jason pretty well." Jen said.
"Sounds fine to me. Taker, what do you think?" Mel asked.
"I think I'm going to stand in your corner as back up."Taker said, handing Kelsey to Mel.
Mel sat down and fed Kelsey and then she passed the baby around the room. When it was Ethan's turn, Mel even took a picture of it since it was cute. Taker had an eye on Mel and an eye on Ethan. Mel smiled. The fact that Taker was just as overprotective as her father, if not more so, didn't bother Mel at all since it meant she was pretty much safe no matter what. Stephanie was a little less flexible about Jake's overprotectiveness, but she dealt with it.
"Girls, your mother has called every day for the past four months. She wants to see you. She's threatening to show up here." Jeff said.
"Let her." Steph answered.
"Yeah. I don't care if she shows up or not. I'm not talking to her. She can go to hell."
"Melanie! She's your Mom!" Kristine said.
"Not really. She hasn't been here since Steph and I were six months old." Mel said.
"Oh." Kristine said.
"Jake, are you alright? You look mad!" Steph said.
"So does Taker. You're mother better not show up here to hurt you." Jake said.
"She probably will but who cares?" Mel said.
"Pa." Kelsey said, reaching for Jeff.
"Pa?" Jake asked.
"Grandpa." Mel corrected Kelsey.
"Pa Pa." Kelsey said.
Jeff laughed and took Kelsey from Mel and tickled her. Jen watched, looking more upset then ever about what she had done. She realized that she could have just as easily killed Mel and Taker's little girl. Just then, the phone rang and Jeff ran to answer it. When he picked it up, he realized it was Beth.
"Jeff, are my girls there?" she asked.
"Yes, Beth, they are, but they already told me that they don't want anything to do with you, so stay away." Jeff said.
"I don't care what they want. I want to meet them and you're not going to stop me."
"Don't you come near them! They're happy and I'm not going to let you take that away."
"You can't stop me from seeing them, Jeff. And it's going to be hard since you won't know when I'm going to turn up."
Before Jeff could respond, Beth had hung up on him. He walked back out to the backyard and told everyone the news. Everyone flipped.
"No way!" Kristine said.
"She can't just show up!" Emily said.
"It's not fair!" John and Shawn said.
"Great. What are we supposed to do now? Walk on egg shells for the rest of our lives?" Mel asked, angrily.
"This so isn't fair. She can't just keep this hanging over your heads like this!" Matt said.
"Yeah. I mean just when everyone's happy and everything's going fine, something or someone just has to come along and wreck it." Jen said, speaking for the first time.
"If Beth thinks she's getting anywhere near Mel and Kelsey she's wrong." Taker said.
"And if she thinks she's getting anywhere near Steph and Ethan then she's double wrong." Jake said.
"I'm not letting her set foot in this house. She's got no right. She hasn't wanted anything to do with either of you since she walked out." Jeff said.
"Who Beth, Mommy?" Ethan asked.
"She's your Grandma." Jake answered.
"She mean?" Ethan asked.
"In a way. I can't explain it." Steph said.
"She leave?" Ethan asked.
"Yes. She left when Aunt Mel and Mommy were little like Kelsey is." Shawn said.
"Why?" Ethan asked.
"No one knows." Cheyanne told him.
"And personally, it doesn't matter." Mel said.
"The bottom line is Grandma Beth left and now she wants to come back." Kristine said to Ethan.
"No!" Ethan said.
"My thoughts exactly, kiddo." Taker said.
Everyone laughed. Taker put Kelsey in her sitter and Ethan played with her until they both got tired. Jeff let Ethan take a nap up in Steph's old room and Mel decided to hold Kelsey while she slept because there was nowhere to put her and the sitter looked like it was uncomfortable.
"I can't believe Ethan's going to be two in a few months." Jake said.
"I know. This has been a fast year." Steph answered.
"A lot has happened." Jen said.
"Luckily, good stuff has happened for the most part." Steph said.
Everyone nodded except Jen, who got up and walked away. Mel followed her, feeling that something wasn't right.
"Jen, what's wrong?" Mel asked.
"Not all good stuff happened." she said.
"Look, it's alright. I forgive you. All the stuff you did to me, it wasn't your fault. Punk and Jason are users and they're going to pay big time, but I am really going to need your help."
"Are you...are you sure?"
"Of course I am, but something else is bothering you isn't it?"
"Yes, and that would be the fact that I hurt everyone, not just you and Taker, by doing what I did. I feel so guilty. I mean, Kelsey could have died and it would've been my fault. Not to mention that Taker would have had every right to Tombstone me to hell and you would have had every right to never speak to me again."
Jen was crying by now and Mel reached over and put an arm around her best friend and reassured her that what was done was done and while Jen would never be able to take it back, she could at least make things right. Jen smiled at that.
"Thanks, Melanie, you're always so understanding. Even when people fuck up majorly."
"And I would have her no other way." Taker said, poking his head in the door.
"Hey, Taker." Jen said.
"Everything alright in here?"
"Yeah, Jen just needed to talk to me."
"Jen, it's alright. I forgive you too. Stop beating yourself up over what you did. It wasn't your fault."
Jen stood up and hugged Taker. Then they went back out to the backyard and sat and talked with the others for the rest of the day. Mel, Taker, Steph, Jake and the two kids decided to stay in Cameron for a little while longer, so when Mel went upstairs to her childhood room, she found Taker asleep with baby Kelsey on his chest. Mel tried to suppress a laugh but it didn't work.
"What's so funny?" Jen asked.
"Not funny. Cute." Mel said, pointing her thumb at the bed.
Jen sighed as she looked. Mel gasped. Great. I probably just made her feel even worse about that whole incident. Mel thought.
"Jen, I'm sorry I just..." Mel said.
"Forget it." Jen said.
She walked away. Mel sighed as she climbed carefully into bed. Life had gotten difficult now that everyone was walking on egg shells about Beth showing up.
OK, that's all for now. Oh, and Big Show kicked SES butt on Sunday and Laycool are idiots, but we all knew that already. hehe. Alright, please Read/Review and I will see you all soon. Bye.~Taker's Soul Girl
