Ch 7

Esmeralda flew in with the girls to Texas and was greeted right away with her father and younger brother Gunner. Who left early to spend time with his dad and his mother. They all hugged and grabbed their bags. She was going to stay at the hotel which hurt mark but he knew she wouldn't last being surrounded by Michelle all the time. She already has to see her enough this week with signings and everything else. As they were driving mark look back his daughter.

"So kid are we going to go to dinner for your birthday or what do you want to do?"

"Do we have to anything like that?"

"Well my oldest is turning 28 during WrestleMania week so yes I think we should be celebrating. We will all go out together and maybe you can bring that boyfriend of yours along."

"If he is around maybe."

Just then she got a text message.

Hey you think we can talk when you get to the hotel? In private. ~Fergal

Yeah let me ask if my dad or brother can keep the girls for a while. ~E

Okay let me know. ~F

"Hey dad would it be ok with you if the girls got some papa time for a while so that I can handle some business at the hotel?"

"Actually I was going to talk to you about them staying with me at the house I know we talked about it so I wanted to know if it was still on for that to happen. Your sisters would love to see them and get to play plus they aren't stuck there all day with wrestlers."

"That works for me just make sure ivy gets her medicine. Gunner knows what she takes and the doses."

"you got it kid."
They drop her off at the hotel and she checks in right as jon gets there with Renee. When he sees her standing there he stares at her actually wearing a dress and a sundress at that. She was very much dressed up when working so it would be dress pants and a blouse or a black skirt. Very rarely did she wear dresses because they wanted her to cover her tattoos. She looked amazing and he spent so much time staring that Renee was starting to get upset.

"Hello earth to Jon why are you staring at her for? We have to check in now." She grabbed him by the arm as he watched Esmeralda walk out of site and leave for her room. After checking into her and dropping her bags off she went to the floor below her where Fergal room was.

"Hey what's up you wanted to talk and now I am here." He lets her in while only wearing a towel.

"Sorry was in the middle of a shower while waiting for you to get here so let me get dressed."

"Okay so what are we going to talk about."

He finishes getting ready and sits with her on the couch in the room.

"I love you and the past 3 years have been great but I can't keep doing the distance anymore or hiding our relationship for everyone else's sake. Plus, I am starting to see that I can't handle the way you and Colby or even as someone described you and jon being around each other. I had to deal with it when Sam was around I can't when everyone is shoving it in my face."

"Okay so what are you saying Fergal that you're done?"

"Yes I am done. I love you but I am not in love with you anymore. You and I had this weird relationship from the beginning and it was great but it started to go into two different directions and it just fell apart. Plus, I have been thinking about the fact that I can't keep your secret anymore."

"Which one?"

"Both it isn't fair when I have to hear people whine and complain because to them you get special treatment for only being an assistant and I can't stand up and say why you got that."

"Because I earned it."

"No because your father is the fucking undertaker. Let's face facts Esmeralda."

"Wait what do you mean you're going to tell my secrets?"

"I have been invited to lunch with Colby, Jon, Joe, Rami, and Kevin. So I thought I would finally talk to him about the girls because you obviously are too scared to. And I am not the only one that feels this way that knows babe. We all feel that we have been lying to him about it for far too long."

Esmeralda just shakes her head trying to fight the tears from forming at that moment as she just runs out of Fergal's room and quickly to the elevator to be in her own and allowed the panic attack to happen.

As she gets there Jon is standing there and gets a worried look on his face.

"Hey you okay?"

"Yeah just Fergal just dumped me and it hit close to home with everything this week."

"Like your birthday and mom passing?"

"you remember?"

"Of course I do ezzy. I never forgot it but maybe when I see you tomorrow since it is tomorrow I will give your present before the signings."

"Okay jon I would like that. Well I better get to my room and just try to sleep for a bit before all the hustle and bushel starts."

She runs to her room and just jumps in the bed crying. Not about Fergal dumping her because she knew that was coming they had so many problems with him in nxt and her on the road. But the fact that jon was going to be told something she wanted to do but was so chicken to do. She jumped in the shower and decided she was just going to take a nap before everything got chaotic.

Meanwhile a little while later

Jon's pov

So we were at the restaurant all the guys decided they wanted to go to for dinner to hang out at. I was in my own little world hearing everyone talks here and there until Fergal came in to join us. I couldn't help but give him a dirty look as he sat down next me and Colby for what he just did to the woman I have cared for my entire life.

"So how is everyone going with things today." Joe asks seeing the tension between me and Fergal and then Fergal with Colby which confused me.

"I am good my family is getting here soon so that will be nice." Kevin said as Rami just shook his head.

"Pretty good just working on the recovery and hating being here and not doing much of anything." Colby said which made me feel bad for my friend for having to miss this WrestleMania that he helped build.

"Why don't you go find comfort in Esmeralda I am sure she would gladly give that to you." Fergal said annoyed.

"Why would she give me comfort for anything when she is your girlfriend Fergal."

"Because I don't know Colby you two see to be very close every time she comes to the performance center."

"That is because they are like brother and sister Fergal. They have a close friendship that goes past yours with her."

"Who has the longest friendship with her anyways?" Joe asks.

"I do. I have known her since she was 14 and going to the same high school before I dropped out." I say.

"So you know everything about her." Kevin asks.

"Everything. Yes, even the fact she used to date Callihan before hooking up with me at one of Cody Hawk's parties when she lived with him for a bit."

"Even about her twin daughters, ivy and violet. You know about that too." Fergal asks.

"What twin daughters?"

"Her 9-year-old twin daughters."

"No I didn't know about that."

I just sat there in silence as joe changed the conversation and just let me be as I processed this. Esmeralda had twin girls that were 9 years old and all I could think about is could they be mine? One thing was sure I had to go talk to her right after this lunch and find out what this woman who has plagued me for so long in my dreams was keeping from me. And how I can keep my cool about it without her running away and not letting get the chance to see them ever. Do I want to see these girls that could be mine?
