When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart
When she loved me...

~Sarah McLachlan, When She Loved Me

"Roman, we've already done this dozens of times! What the hell are we lookin' for?" Two hours into their search through Lily's belongings left behind and The Shield came up with nothing.

"Any little thing that could help us find her, Dean!" Roman barked as he ruffled through her backpack. Since her disappearance and his recent encounter with The Undertaker, Roman had been relentless in his search for her. Of course, the constant side missions of keeping the roster in line for The Authority and the recent loss of the tag titles to the Rhodes Brothers only made things more complicated. "How could I have forgotten about the Deadman?"

"Um, I don't know. Maybe because you been all puss-"

"Don't start, you two...", Rollins interjected. "Anything?"

Roman dug through her travel clothes and ring gear. Eventually, he came across a pair of her raver pants, dug through the pockets, and pulled out what appeared to be a chip. "Guys? What do you make of this?" Roman inquired as he squinted his eyes to better examine the tiny item.

"Dude..." Seth snatched the object from his hand. "This is a memory chip. Lemme see if I can work it into the computer..."

Roman and Dean followed Seth as he sat down in front of a black laptop, inserting the disk inside it. "Maybe Tink hid something here. Something we're not supposed to see..."

"Well, gee Seth. Could it be a video of Big Cat over here and Miss Pixiedust 'gone wild'?", Ambrose joked. Just as Roman raised his fist to bring it down on Dean's face like a hammer he took a moment to breathe and relax. At this point, pounding Dean's face in wouldn't do any good for anyone. Instead, he needed to channel all his energy into finding Lily.

The computer screen lit up with a folder. Rollins clicked on it and discovered a series of photos and videos inside. "Hm... Look at how much stuff she's got on here. She's got more pictures than half of the divas on the roster."

"Hold up," Roman stopped Seth. "Click on that one." He pointed to a small thumbnail second row to the left on the screen. It enlarged into an image as Rollins clicked on it.

"It's you and Lil with Jordan and Madison. Your niece and nephew, right?", Rollins inquired.

"Yeah...", Roman replied. "That was taken almost two years ago. At least a month after Lily's FCW TV debut..."

Joe and Lily laid in each other's arm in the dim light, basking in the afterglow of another night of lovemaking. Since Lily's simultaneous safe return and television debut, things seemed to have only gotten better. More and more people were beginning to respect them as a couple while taking a liking to their individual talents in the ring.

And more and more, Joe began to take great pride in having Lily as his girl. It's one thing when people say that when it comes to love, they aspire for it to feel otherworldly. Well, it's safe to say that he did them all one better as he stared at the ceiling with a smile while stroking Lily's hair.

"Joe?"

"Hm?"

"Do you think that we'll be in the WWE soon?"

"I don't think so, Pixie," He gently lifted up her head to look her in the eye. "I know so."

Lily's tiny smile assured their faith as his kissed her hair and rested her head on his chest. Things were looking up for them. Even though he wasn't 100 percent sure how soon they would be called up to the main roster, if at all. But perhaps the mounting optimism acted as a fuel for their confidence.

Suddenly the echoes of the doorbell broke the peaceful silence. "Who is that?" Lily perked up before the bell rang again.

"Oh, shit..." Joe groaned as he ran his hands over his face. "I promised my brother I'd babysit Jordan and Madison for the night."

"You want me to leave?"

"No. You can stay. I could use a hand. But, uh... You might wanna put some underwear on," He chuckled before pecking her lips and hopping off the bed to get dressed. The doorbell rang at least two more times as he headed to the front door and opened it to his brother and kin.

"Finally," Matt sighed as he and Joe shook hands. "What took you so long?"

Joe shrugged and he ruffled his niece's and nephew's hair. "A raccoon tried to get in through the screen window. I went outside to chase him away."

"In your jeans and bare feet?", Matt arched a brow.

"He smelled the food from the kitchen," Lily appeared from behind Joe, fully clothed in a black spaghetti strap shirt and PJ pants. "And thought he could get himself some snacks.

Jordan and Madison were seemingly enamored by her as they raced inside the dwelling. Joe observed the scene with a smile as they kids bombarded Lily with all sorts of questions about her eyes and such.

"You sure this is a good idea?", Matt whispered. "Y'know, having her around them?"

"That a problem?" Joe arched a brow as Matt raised his hands up in defense. "I didn't mean it like that. It's just... Forget I asked."

After some convincing, Joe managed to reassure his brother that the kids were in good hands and that Lily was not of any danger at all. The night went like most babysitting nights. It was chalk-filled with junk food, TV, and movies with pizza as the main course.

"Hopefully, you two can wolf these down before your dad gets back," Lily chuckled as she served both kids two slices each.

"That's easy," Jordan laughed. "One time, I ate a whole bucket of ice cream."

"It was gross!", Madison slightly gagged as she testified. "He looked like he was gonna puke!" And the look of embarrassment on Jordan's face as he hung his head seemed to confirm that event.

Joe lifted his chin up, hoping to brighten his mood. "Hey, don't be ashamed. Sometimes it happens."

Jordan shook his head and smiled at Lily, "Are you Uncle Joe's girlfriend?"

Way to change the subject, little man! Joe felt his cheeks grow hot with fever at his nephew's inquiry. But his coyness meant little compared to Lily's as her face sported a bright shade of blush his way. "Joe? Would you say that I'm your girlfriend? I mean, only if it's ok with Jordan and Madison."

"If you are, that means he has to buy you flowers and candy everyday," Madison cheered. "That's what dad does for mom."

"Well, I think Lily's deserving of more than just flowers and candy," Joe spoke with pride, earning an 'oooh' from the kids. The rest of the evening went on with more shenanigans amongst everyone. Lily even pulled a surprise gag on the kids when they asked about her "magical" eyes at one point by donning a pair of slinky eyeball glasses whilst chortling like Goofy. Oh, the laughter that filled the house. Of course, Lily wanted to preserve the memory by taking a series of photos. Joe took a moment to check his phone and smiled as he spotted a photo Lily shared on Twitter.

WWEWildFlower: "Pizza, Disney stuffs, and laughter with the beloved warrior and Anoa'i kin~"

Eventually, the children fell asleep on the couch towards the end of another Disney movie. Not wanting to move them, Joe and Lily grabbed a spare set of blankets and gently placed them on the kids.

"They really liked you, Pixie," Joe complimented as he held her waist.

"You think so?", Lily asked as she watched them slumber peacefully.

Joe couldn't help but think about the possibility of replicating a night like this should he and Lily be fortunate enough to do so. A fun day with kids of their own, adorned with pizza and Disney movies...

"Yo, Ro! We got something!"

Roman still stared at the photo of him, Lily, and his kin. A light smack on the back of his head knocked him back to reality.

"You're driftin'!", Dean barked. "Seth's got somethin'!"

He rose out of the chair with a huff as he rejoined his teammates, noticing Seth with a tiny piece of paper in his hand. "Whatcha got?"

"A set of numbers." Rollins rubbed his chin as he thoroughly examined the collection of numbers printed on the paper. "Looks like a set of coordinates."

"Well, how did Lil get a hold them?"

"Doesn't matter, Dean! They might lead us to Lily!" Roman turned to Seth with hope. "Right?"

"I wouldn't get too excited, Ro. We need to figure out where and maybe who they lead to first." Seth pulled up a program on the computer and proceeded to input the coordinates into the system. As he hit the 'Enter' key, a three dimensional showing of Earth appeared on the screen. "Well, at least this mysterious location is Earth bound," Seth breathed out in relief as the program continued its' work. The Earth expanded into a two dimensional map, zeroing in on North America.

"North America... Mid South... Houston, Texas..."

Within minutes, the map honed in on a street viewing style of a ranch secluded in the woods.

"A ranch in Houston?" Dean scoffed with a snort. "Well, that was a colossal waste of time. Maybe it was one of those spam texts..."

Roman scanned the image of the ranch through and through before coming to a wildly, plausible conclusion. "Guys... The last time anyone's seen that ranch was when Diamond Dallas Page broadcast it for all the world to see..."

"Yeah, so?" Ambrose shrugged nonchalantly. "What's that got to do with anything?"

"He did it because of the man who lives there...!"

At first, Seth was just a confused as Dean was. But after taking the time to reflect on DDP's misdeed, a revelation hit him. "...Holy Shit balls... Dean, you know who lives there?!"

Eventually, Dean's crocked grin stretched on his face with malevolence. "He might've escaped with his dead tail between his legs in London with Tink in tow. But this time, he's not gettin' away..."

Seth cracked his knuckles as he chuckled. "And once we get him right where we want him, we'll make sure we bleed him of every once of information. He resists? And we'll leave him as an empty sack of broken bones..."

Just the thought of settling the score with The Undertaker made his mouth water with bloodlust. And if revenge is truly a dish best served dead, then Roman was no doubt going to get his Sunday best. "SADDLE UP, BOYS! It's time to hunt the Deadman..."

A/N: Oh, my damn...! Thanks so much for sticking by this piece! ^_^ I know I haven't been updating as often as I should :( But with moving, training, and job hunting, my creative juices kinda dried up for a while.

Also, I'm still super proud of Roman and his performance at Wrestlemania! Even though he didn't win the gold (damn dirty ninja weasel! XD), he still managed to hang tough! And you better BELIEVE THAT!
