.

I stretched my legs curling my toes waking up with a grin on my face, Jon's naked body entangled with mine, my husband, god I couldn't say that word enough my husband! I was married to the love of my life.

"Morning Mrs. Good." feeling Jon's lips on my bare shoulder "Mm I love the sound of that." moving his lips gently across my collar bone making his way up my neck, closing my eyes as we became one, there was something about morning sex I just loved.

Morning sex isn't like any other kind of sex, its not frantic, rushed, its slow, peaceful connecting, with sleep still in your eyes and your body completely relaxed as your bodies become on "Mm." arching my back to meet his slow gentle thrusts, my eyes closed as the hangover of sleep was still in my system.

Grinning at Jon as we both finished still wrapped up in each other the sun baking on our naked skins, we laid there in complete silence no words needed to be said, the craving for a drink disappearing for a moment "I'm going to make some coffee." kissing the tip of my nose before walking out of the room still naked "NICE ASS.'' I yelled getting a laugh from my husband.

Stretching my arms I knew I had to get up and moving, I knew we didn't have much time, it is wrestlmanieweekend after all and we all where super busy, but for right now I wanted to lay here I wanted to bask in this feeling before it slowly faded away and I came down from this high.

"DING.'' sighing as mine and Jon's phones both started going off, frowning last time I checked his phone, shaking my head "No we're past that." pulling the sheet up with me I grabbed both of our phones off the night table frowning seeing the girls each had texted me, my sister in law.

Glancing at the clock I still had a good amount of time before any of my stuff started, I didn't miss anything "GIRL YOU GOT MARRIED!?" Paige text came through "JON!" I quickly ran down the hall forgetting I was married, oh shit! This was bad! I planned on telling my dad after mania! He had to much going on to worry about this!

"What?" Jon quickly made his way to me as I held out both phones frowning as he scrolled through his texts "Shit." sighing, I knew it'd get out, I was just hoping not this quickly! "His going to lose his shit Jon, my dad super old fashioned when it comes to asking for my hand and all that crap." covering my face, my dad was going to lose his mind!

"Hey come here." pulling me into him forgetting we where both naked "shh its gonna be OK, okay? I'm here with you through all of this, no more running." looking up at my husband he had my wrapped in his naked arms "its OK to run from this my dads a big scary man." Jon smirked shrugging "Call me crazy I'd go against the big bad dead man for you any day." winking at me, I sighed "OK well you just might have to." crossing my arms over my chest reminding myself I was naked, and Jon was naked making me laugh loudly causing Jon to frown "what?" pointing between us "Just butt ass naked freaking out over my father." causing Jon to let out a laugh shrugging "Not the first time I've worried about a girls dad coming after me while I was naked." shaking my head.

"Oh I'm sure it isn't I'm going to go shower we need to hurry up and get going, its a long day." and it just became even longer.

I decided not to answer any of the girls, I needed to find my dad first and talk to him before I spoke to anyone else, but that was easier said then done as he wasn't to the arena yet.

Sitting in the locker room with Jon I sighed "I just wanna get this over with, I should've called him yesterday I just got so caught up in the moment." taking my hand a gripping it reassuring "darlin we both did, it'll be OK." Jon was doing his best at trying to re assure me it would be OK, but he didn't know my dad the way I did, this was not going to be OK.

."WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?" my dad yelled holding out his phone showing me the picture of Jon and I grinning at each other outside the court house, shit, he yelled slamming the door behind him, "YOU'RE FUCKING MARRIED SAMANTHA!" he yelled coming towards me making Jon put his hand on my dad's chest stopping him shaking his head no at my dad, not saying a word just keeping quiet.

"Dad." frowning my heart was pounding, he was mad ,he was really really mad "It literally, it was.'' I struggled with finding the words to explain my spur of the moment court house wedding.

My dad shook his head putting his hands on his hips "Do you ever think of anyone but yourself?" frowning at my father I expected him to be angry and upset but this, I wasn't accepting this.

"I am the last person you want to call selfish!" my fuse was lit and slowly burning out as my shock wore off "who the fuck are you to say anything?"

"watch your tone little girl." my farther warned in a voice that I've seen make grown make shake, I rolled my eyes "no! You wanna come here yelling, you're hurt, I get that im sorry, but don't you dare come in here insulting me, I have taken enough of this family's insults!" I snapped at him.

"Sam calm down." Jon turned to face me, placing his hand on my waist our eyes connected

"Jon can you give me a minute with my daughter?" my father's voice broke our stare, sighing I nodded knowing my dad and I needed to have this out Jon bent down lightly kissing my lips "ill be right outside that door."before walking off not speaking a word to my farther.

My farther waited for the door to shut before turning around glaring at me 'what the hell are you thinking? Your not OK from JJ, your still healing! Do you not get that, didn't you two just spend the last what two weeks separated because he lied to you about kissing another girl? Yea I know everything even if you don't tell me." he hissed at me.

Biting my lip nodding my head, my throat feeling tight "uh hmm yes I do better then you, I know what I deal with everyday better then anyone else, you weren't there! So don't even play that card!" I snapped glaring at him.

"Jesus Samantha when are you going to let shit go?" this getting into something much deeper then me marrying Jon and hurting my fathers ego.

I shook my head laughing a little "maybe when you ever own up to it, own up to the fact you left us mark! You left us with a drunken pill popping mother! And then when the damage was done and you finally wised up instead of coming home and repairing your children you just shipped us off to nana and papa so you could counitue to live your dream! You have no idea how many nights I cried in bed at night wanting my daddy! And you weren't there, you CHOOSE not to be there! So don't you DARE Judge him on anything of our past! That's between me and him!" I pointed towards the door I felt myself shaking from anger, trying to fight back the angry tears from falling.

"And I've told you if I could change that shit I would! I cant, this is going to be another crash and burn moment from you!" I laughed shaking my head "oh my god! What is your true issue?" throwing my hands in the air! Confused, was he mad? Was he worried? What the hell was he!?

he ran his hand over his face "whats my problem all those years ago I sat next to a bed while my daughter had to be sad ted so she'd get some god damn sleep because she was to much of a wreck! I watched my daughter lose all her confidence and destroy her body trying to perfect it to something she thought someone else would want! Maybe I wants there much as I should've been when you were a little girl but I have tried as an adult and I cant sit and watch you make the same damn mistake!"

"and I'm not, dad I love him, I'm so in love with him, we've both made our mistakes against one another, and again that's between us, his a good man, he wouldn't hurt me the way Brock did! I'm not repeating that mistake!" I shrugged my shoulders.

My farther stared at me "you could've called, who gave you away? Huh, who did you deem important enough to have that honor? Huh?" he yelled there it was "Dad! we're going to have an actual wedding next year! I needed this, we needed this, for us, after JJ it was the only way I felt I could heal, to have that connection to him like this, you and Sara did it!" running his hand over his face shrugging "yea and look how well that worked out for me? You don't handle heart break well, I've watched you, I knew you where hung over yesterday at breakfast, so what happens when this blows up in your face?" taken back by his lack of faith towards mine and Jon's relationship I stood my chest puffed out defiantly " it wont."

watching as he quietly turned opening the door looking back at me "i hope for your sake your right, you cant handle another let down.." I seen Jon leaning against the wall as my dad glared at him and walked off, covering my mouth with the back of my hand as the tears I fought so hard to hold in poured out.

Jon quickly made his way to me " Are you OK?" I stared blankly I held my hand against my cheek in shock, my farther may have said ugly words to me in the past but his never doubted me, no matter what, his always been there, maybe he didn't agree with everything I've done, but his never doubted me.

Feeling Jon's hand on me I cracked and started crying, he sighed pulling me to him wrapping his arms around me with ease holding me to him I sobbed in his chest feeling him with ease lift me up walking over to the bench just as the door opened, the chatter and happy laughing immediately stopping as who ever just entered the room looked at the scene in front of them.

As they watched on silently as I broke down into Jon's chest, years of pain pouring out "shh its OK." I could hear Jon whispering feeling him run his hand up and down my back trying his best to soothe me.

"I'll go get her some water." Colby's voice breaking the silence other then my sobs in the locker room,

Pulling away from Jon's tight embrace, it was Mania, and we didn't have time for all of this.

I leaned my forehead against his "I shouldn't of left this room.'' shrugging I gave him a small smile "It's not your fault honey." I ran my hand down his cheek "this is just a start to a long road of bullshit we're going to go through and as long as we have each other, we'll be fine." Jon grabbing my hand squeezing it tightly.

we heard a throat clear making us break apart to see Colby standing there holding a water bottle, I cleared my throat looking down, I slowly climbed off of Jon's lap sitting at the end of the bench accepting the water from Colby "Thank you."

"So I take it the dead man wasn't to happy about the marriage?" snorting shaking my head "that's an understatement, you know why can't my family ever just be happy and supportive?" anger starting to take over me as my tears dried up "I'm sorry baby girl." Roman offered sitting on the edge of the couch, sighing I stood up "i gotta go get ready." looking down this should be the best weekend ever, I got married, I'm working with my dad at wrestle mania.

"I'll walk you, I'll be back." Jon took my hand leading me out of the locker room, sighing as we walked down the hall Jon was quiet "you OK?" peeking a glance at him, "Yea just uh trying to not go and punch your father, who could very well be the end of my wwe carrier, or uh life." chuckling leaning into him placing my left hand over top of his that was entwined with my right hand " you still sure about this?" making me stop walking looking at him "Johnathan good I have never be more sure about anything, in fact I fucking cannot wait until we go home and I can go spend our only dammed day off at stupid mvd just to get my last name changed to yours, please do not think this isn't the best decision I've made, I'll be fine." I gave him a small smile stopping in front of the womens locker room.

Jon nodded "I just hate this caused you and your dad to fight." shrugging "it'd be this or something else, its just me and my family." standing up on my tippy toes kissing his lips "I'm fine I promise!" he bent down kissing me "I fucking love you, keep that n your head OK, through all of this shit that's about to hit OK." his voice assertive, stern, all I could do was nod my head yes "I love you to, go kick some ass, I promise I'm OK." he didn't need to worry about me in his match.

Taking a breath opening the locker room door I knew I was in it with from the girls as I hadn't answer them all day "Oh there she is, little miss newly wed, come up for air?" Brie grinned seeing me first as I walked in, holding my hands up "I know I know, literally it was last minute." was all I could get out before all the girls was hugging me excitedly telling me congratulations and asking me a million questions.

Well this was defiantly way better then my dads reaction!"Thank you!" before sitting down with the girls "So how did he propose? Girl last I knew you two was on the outs!" Trin laughed smiling at me "Uh honestly he asked how bad of an idea would I think it'd be if you got married right now, I told him terrible and lets do it." biting my lip not the most romantic story shrugging "Look I just, after JJ-" holding onto my necklace that held my sons ash's "I needed this, I needed this connection." Brie put her arm over my shoulders grinning "well you are deffiently going to get a celebration for this, you two deserve all the happiness in the world." all the girls nodding in agreence.

Before I knew it was standing at gorilla everyone had offered their congratulations and hugs, everyone except my own father, I knew I couldn't let that get to me though " so its true?" I heard next to me looking to see my ex, ugh! This was awkward for some reason nodding "yea it is." Brock stopped bouncing on his feet looking at me, he almost looked sad.

"congratulations hon, you deserve it, I hope he gives you all the happiness in the world, and let him know from me to him, he doesn't ill break his fucking face." laughing though I knew how serious Brock was with that threat "I'll be sure to tell him that." shaking my head as my dad walked up to me "how did he take it?" shaking my head "not the greatest." before my dad was fully next to me.

I saw his look of surprise seeing what I was wearing, it was a replica of his velvet robe he wore from his ministry days, just a little more feminine it tied down the front raveling my stomach as my top underneath was a deep purple leather with the front being his cross pendant and a pair of black leather pants.

My dad stayed silent as we stood watching Brock make his way to the ring glancing at my dad I sighed "regardless please be careful.'' I was worried he wouldn't be thinking straight after everything today between him and I, if something was to happen and I had anything to do with it I don't know if I could deal with that.

I covered my mouth tears burning my eyes "Jesus they're going to kill each other." I mumbled as neither man would stay down, I could see the frustration on both mens faces as they, I could tell my dad was concussed early in the match, going strictly off memory muscle, I didn't know how much more he had in him.

I watched Brock reverse my farther into a third f-5 it felt like slow motion watching the ref count to three and brocks name be announced as the winner, I covered my mouth in shock, I never thought my farthers streak would end.

Climbing into the ring next to my dad looking just as shocked as the fans did, the arena completely silent "dad." putting my hand on his arm as he slowly sat up looking around, he didn't look like he was all there "you OK?" nodding his head as we both just sat in the middle of the ring the darkness and purpose strobe lights flashing "Come on lets get to the back dad." making my way up the ramp with him something didn't seem right, he was leaning on me way too much in fact I almost fell a couple of times from the weight.

I no longer cared about the earlier events between us I just needed to make sure he was OK, I frowned as he pulled away from me to lean on a piece of equipment "dad." I called walking over to him, before he collapsed "DAD! HELP VINCE! SOMEONE HELP" I screamed for who was at the production table, Vince quickly jumped up running over to us where I was kneeling next to my farther "Dad wake up." I shook him hearing Vince yell he needed a medic over here as I placed my hands on my dads chest "Dad, dad." I called out as medics rushed the area pushing me to the side.

I covered my mouth, I never seen my farther like this, completely out of it before, I seen him hurt, I seen him injured but never out of it, I covered my mouth as the gently placed him on the stretcher, I felt like everything around me suddenly became both quiet and deafening loud all at once, slow yet fast motion, my mind not catching up to what was happening.

Moving quickly with the stretcher coming through the curtain I frowned seeing a crowd as I held my dads hand Jon came running over to me, "you OK?" shaking my head no "uh yea, no, fuck I don't know, I'm going with my dad I need my stuff please." as they loaded him in the ambulance, I climbed in the back sitting all the way up front as I covered my mouth. Seeing Vince climb in behind me.

Watching them begin checking my farthers vitals, my dad started pulling things off of him fighting the paramedics "DAD DAD STOP STOP IT!" I yelled jumping up standing over him my hand on his chest "dad stop it." I cried my tears running down my nose falling on his chest.

"my daughter my daughter! Sammy, wheres my Sammy girl she needs me"my called out using my childhood nick name he hadn't called me in I couldn't tell you how long.

I frowned leaning over him "I'm here dad I'm right here." taking his hand as I leaned over him, I smiled small at him trying not to cry "Bug." he said quietly gripping my hand before closing his eyes.

I felt guilt over take me knowing he wasn't fully into that match because of me, because of my choices that hurt him so much, I never intended to hurt him.

I nodded to the per medic as I stayed in that position laying my head on my farther chest the rest of the ride.

As soon as we opened the ambulance doors there was Brock and paulie right behind us, sighing as the wheeled my father in him yelling at Vince he had a show to run and no business coming here with him, how every one can go home.

I sighed sitting in the waiting room with Vince, Brock and Pauli I leaned forward closing my eyes ''Sweet heart, he'll be fine." vinces voice broke my thoughts, shaking my head I sat back in the uncomfortable chair "this all my fault." I frowned.

"sweetie this isn't your fault, Brock and your dad are beasts they wanted to put on one hell of a show and they did you know as well as I do what happens in that ring." rubbing my back, I shook my head.

"Dad and I got into an argument today, I said some things I probably shouldn't of, I wasn't understanding of his hurt, and I was mean to him." I looked at Vince he blew a breath of air nodding his head giving me a gentle smile.

"even still not on you those two are professionals and knew to leave it in the back, if they couldn't do that, not on you.''hugging me I sighed "I need to call Sara so she can tell the girls, anyone call Michelle?" I frowned my mind racing.

"SAM!" I heard Jon's voice making me turn I smiled grateful he was here pulling me to him hugging me tightly "any word? Is he OK? Are you OK?" I heard beeping from my phone pulling away from Jon I sighed sitting down, Jon quickly next to me as I scrolled through my texts of people asking me the same question "I need to call Sara." just as my family made there way into the waiting room, groaning this was just great, I didn't need to hear whatever gunner had to say.

"hey is he OK?" she answered right away I sighed "they're running some tests right now." I bit my lip trying to keep it together "are you OK? He called me afterwords." I looked up blowing out a breath "no." was all I could get out shaking my head "this is on me." I whispered to her.

"Oh sweetie its not, and your dad would kick your ass for you blaming yourself, this shit happens."

she tried assuring me, but right now until I knew my dad was OK I don't think anyone could assure met his didn't some how land on me.

"k." I said taking a deep breath "does the girl know dads hurt?" I asked.

"no I sent them to bed right after the match they have no clue." I breathed relief knowing my baby sisters weren't going through this emotion, though Kiera was sitting in Michelle lap looking terrified, poor baby.

"mom I've never seen him that out of it in my life, I was scared he was dead." I confessed out loud for the first time, feeling Jon put his hand on my knee as tears began to fall using the back of my hand, I did not want to cry in this room full of these people.

"I get the pain that your in and the damage that been caused to you in your life is unbelievable, but you gotta know today came form a farthers love for his daughter." nodding my head swallowing hard shaking my head "that's the part that hurts the most in all of this, after everything, the wreckage, tonight seeing him like that, none of it matters his my dad." I covered my eyes as tears came out "I just don't get how he could do say those things to me tonight." I cried I felt an arm wrap around me and pull me over, I knew it was Jon I took a breath "im in the waiting room still, ill call you when I have some results, I love you mom." quickly ending the call before I got even more emotional.

I wiped my eyes as Jon just let me lay on his chest running his fingers gently over my lower back trying to comfort me "you don't have to stay." I whispered looking up at him "for better or worse darlin." winking I sighed happy he was staying, I felt relief knowing he was here for me, my eyes felt heavy fighting to keep them open.

"Family for a ?" I heard making me look up not relizing I fell asleep on Jon,quickly standing up with my brother and Michelle "These are his children, im his wife." she spoke up, I felt Jon behind me "Is he OK?" I blurted out not wanting to wait through the medical mumble jumble "his good awake, stabilized, we're going to keep him over night for observation, he suffered a pretty good concussion, he claims it was from the last part of the match however I feel it was early on." the Dr questioned towards Vince, I turned to look at Vince who was now standing behind me "it was Dr I was there, I would've stopped it if I thought he was concussed before then." I told the Dr not wanting Vince to end up in trouble, honestly I couldn't tell you when or where it happened.

"can we see him?" I asked not caring at this point when he was concussed, I just needed to see my dad. "yea one visitor and make it quick he needs rest." he told me,i nodded taking a deep breath "Sam why don't you go and see him." Michelle rubbed my arm reassuringly "are you sure?" I knew she was needing to see his face as badly as I was, offering me a small smile "I am hon, you two need to make things right, and gunner keep you're mouth shut." she started on my brother before he could start.

Nodding looking back at Jon "I'll be back." giving him a kiss before following the doctor to my farthers room.

I stood in the door way my hand coverign my mouth my dad was on the phone "naw im good Sara, no im not sure if she is, I cant blame her if she wasn't, OK give the girls my love, talk to you later." hanging up, taking a deep breath making my way fully in the room catching his attention his face showing his surprise.

"hi." I whispered feeling like I was five again, slowly walking over to his bed as tears started to burn my eyes no matter what I always saw my dad as some sort of superman and to see him in this bed like this and to know it had to do with me broke me.

"why ya crying?" I sat in the chair next to his bed "I'm so sorry dad." he shook his head sitting up hissing, I frowned "you got nothing to be sorry for." I shook my head "Dad, we where arguing, I wasn't thoughtful of how you would feel, I only cared about myself."

"Bug, I could've came at you differently, I was hurt and let my pride and ego get the best of me, as far as the match goes I didn't leave personal back there, im just older took it harder on my body, trust me im sure his hurting." I sighed wiping my face.

" I was so scared when I seen you collapse." I confessed to my farther "i know your not happy with this but please just trust I know what im doing." I whispered gripping my dads hand tightly "I'm happy daddy."

"Bug its hard, I watched you with Brock fall apart, now im not throwing that in your face, but its just fact, I don't want you to go through it again I see how much you love him and how much he loves you, but he took something from me, he not only married my daughter but he took the honor of me giving you to him, walking you down the aisle, he took that from me and it pissed me off." frowning "Dad it wasn't like that, we just wanted to get married, neither of us thought of anything else, we're gonna do a wedding next year this was just for us."

he sighed "just look promise me you wont get knocked up, not anytime soon, take your time, I know your going to do what you want no matter what I say, but just take your time is all OK?" I nodded taking his hand "OK, I love you dad." he smiled " I love you to, I know I got a lot to make up for with you and your brother, and tonight doesn't help, I am truly sorry for your child hood, that you went through what you did." he stopped clearing his throat, I kicked off my shoes and climbed into the bed curling next to my farther who wrapped his arm around me "we'll get there dad." I whispered, he nodded "yea we will."

marks pov-

he listened to his daughters breathing slow and become mythic, he looked down at his sleeping daughter her swollen eyes from crying, he remembered seeing her a the ambulance but he thought it was a dream, he laid his head back tonight proved a lot to him.

one thing for sure he had a lot of making up to do to his daughter, he closed his eyes laying his head back just as the nurse came in "do you want me to send every one home?" he didn't want to move his daughter so he just shook his head yes, he knew he should see his wife but he knew she would understand, it'd been a long time since his daughter took any type of comfort in him and as a father he wasn't ready to let go of it, not just yet.

SAMS POV-

I woke up the next morning to the sun in my eyes, I groaned looking around, I seen I was alone in a hospital bed and quickly sat up I looked around for my farther seeing him come out of the bath room completely dressed on his phone "second floor room two hundred, see you soon."

"are you OK?" sitting all the way up "good to go kid." smiling happily I felt relived"they ran tests?" I stood up walking over to him hissing as I moved to quick on my knee "fuck." I mumbled making my dad look at me concerned "should I be asking you that?" he asked I sighed "just my knee been acting up lately." softly shrugging.

"you should get that checked out." he said I nodded "yea I know."

"DADDY!" I heard a little voice that belonged to my baby sister, I smiled as I sat in the chair meant for guests as her and Michelle ran in, I watched my farther smile bending down hugging the little girl tightly "that mean ol lesnar hurt you! I don't like him!"chuckling at my little sisters reaction to our dad getting hurt "naw sweetie, Brock didn't mean to hurt me, it just happened is all." she nodded "still his a jerk." I shook my head trying not to laugh "Kiera we don't call peoples jerks." Michelle lectured a warning look to my little sister as I just turned my head "sorry mommy, SISSY!" facing back to my family grinning "Hi sweetie." her face lit up as she ran over to me jumping one making me groan "humph you're getting big!"

"Are coming home with us?" I shook my head no "no not yet I still have things at work to do, but I am due off here in the next two weeks how about I come home and we can go riding?" she nodded grinning a huge toothless grin, oh dad I don't know if I can keep that promise for a full year.

"that sounds good sissy, I miss you! Especially with daddy gone." she pouted, I smiled she loved my dad and you could tell they were bonded, most of the time it didn't bother me I was happy he was able to do for her what he wasn't me but sometime it still stung "awe well daddy's home now, I know I always missed daddy when I was your age and you know what, he had to work more when I was little then now so you get to enjoy him more." I said.

"are you released to go now?'' I asked my dad, he shook his head no sitting on the edge of the bed as Michelle leaned against him resting her head on his shoulder he wrapped his arm around her waist, you could tell the two loved each other "the doctors getting everything ready, are you going to need a ride?" I shook my head no Jon texting me he was on his way to the hospital.

"no jons coming." I smiled small "I'll leave you all to it, im gonna go down and wait for Jon." hugging my dad feeling him hug me back tightly "i love you bug." clearing my throat pulling away "love you to dad." giving Michelle a nod and hugging my little sister before making my way down to the waiting room to wait for my husband.

"Excuse me ma'am." I heard next to me as I sat in front of the hospital deciding some fresh air and sunshine would help "yes.'' frowning seeing Rena in front of me "what the, hmm." groaning as everything turned black very quickly.
