A/N : Once again the chapter might turn out to be a little boring but enjoy anyway and for the love of god don't forget to review,lol.Just kidding but I'd appreciate it if you would.

Smackdown : 31-01-2002 Continuation.

Jeff Hardy came running out followed by Matt and Lita.Jeff kneeled down beside Valerie while Taker and Kane stared eachother down.

"Is this your idea of raising your daughter?" Kane growled.

"This doesn't concern you Kane" Taker growled back.

"Like hell it doesn't,I'm her uncle and if you're not gonna take care of her,I will" Kane said.

Taker's face contorted in fury and he went to punch Kane but Kane blocked his punch and leveled him.Taker went down hard,he got up,stared at his brother,who was obviously ready to fight,and backed away.

"Another day brother,another day" Taker said.

"Anytime" Kane replied.

Taker left the ring and walked to the back.He looked over his shoulder and saw that Valerie was being taken care of by a very worried Jeff Hardy and a distraught Lita.Taker walked on,turmoil in his heart,he had accidently knocked down his babygirl,his brother had taken his daughter's side and it wouldn't surprise him if Sara refused to talk to him for a while.

Valerie was taken to the hospital just in case but it soon became apparent that her arms took most of the blow and the reason she was knocked unconscious was because she came down so hard.Valerie was released from hospital soon after that.

Raw : 04-02-2002.

Las Vegas,Nevada.

Valerie looked on as Triple H came to the ring looking very pissed off.While Triple H addressed Kurt Angle and his actions as of late,Valerie pondered her own situation concerning her father,her uncle and her boyfriend. Her uncle Kane had chosen her side and she was happy about that but she couldn't help but worry about her father,no matter what he did he would always be her dad.

Valerie forced herself to shrug it off as she saw Booker-T coming out to the ring instead of Kurt Angle.They wrestled and Booker-T ended up getting disqualified because of Kurt Angle's interference.

Valerie sighed as she saw the next match get started.RVD vs Bubba Ray Dudley.She hadn't talked to RVD in a while and that was probably just as well,Jeff was still freaked out about her friendship with him and talking to him all the time wasn't a good idea.

Valerie got up from the bench and walked out of her room.She felt tense and stressed,she didn't quite know why.Maybe it was because of her match but she knew it was more likely that it had something to do with her father.Valerie turned around the corner and walked into a broad chest,she fell back and landed on her butt.She angrily looked up and saw a big man standing over her.

"I will offer to help you up but only if you promise not to slap me again" he said.

Valerie scowled at him and got up on her own.She dusted her clothes off and pulled her eyebrow up at him.

"You deserved that slap and you know it" Valerie said.

Bradshaw shrugged and said:

"I wanted something from you so I asked for it.It never hurts to ask.At least I thought so"

Bradshaw rubbed his left jaw and Valerie smirked.

"Are you trying to tell me it still hurts?.Because I'm not buying that" Valerie said.

"It hurt like a sonofabitch when you did it" Bradshaw muttered.

"Like I said,you deserved it" Valerie said.

Bradshaw mouth quirked into a smile.

"How about I make up for my rudeness?" Bradshaw asked.

"How about I give you a kick in the groin?" Valerie asked.

"That's cold" Bradshaw remarked.

"That's the truth,now if you'll excuse me" Valerie said,sidestepping Bradshaw.

Bradshaw looked Valerie up and down as she walked away and his eyes rested on her ass.One way or another,she'd change her mind.He nodded and walked on.

Valerie in the mean time walked on,not quite knowing where she was going.She checked her watch and saw that she didn't have much time left before her match started.Valerie sighed loudly and walked into another hallway,on her way back to her dressingroom.As luck would have it she ran into her father who was being interviewed by Michael Cole.Taker had his back towards Valerie so he didn't see her.

"It's good that you fear me,Michael Cole,because fear and respect go hand-in-hand.The Rock has been disrespecting me,so tonight I'm gonna teach him the meaning of the word.And as for Jeff Hardy…" Taker said.

"How about teaching yourself the meaning of the words BACK OFF?" Valerie asked.

Taker turned around and looked at Valerie,who huffed,turned on her heel and walked off.Valerie smiled as she walked into her dressingroom,that one statement took a load off her shoulders somehow and she didn't mind one bit.As she got ready for her match,half watching the monitor where the match William Regal vs Rikishi was taking place.William Regal,another man adding to her problems.

Suddenly her father's words hit Valerie.He had said something about teaching the Rock the meaning of the word respect…tonight.Valerie got up and walked out of her room,once she reached the Rock's lockerroom she knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" the Rock called from behind the door.

"It's Valerie" Valerie answered.

"Come in Val" the Rock said.

Valerie walked into the room and saw the Rock sitting on one of the benches.Rock smiled at her.

"To what do I owe the pleasure?" the Rock asked.

"I wanna valet for you tonight" Valerie said.

Instead of hearing the Rock say 'sure Val,you can valet for me' which was what she had expected,he got up and stood across her.

"I can't let you do that,it's not safe" the Rock said.

"You let me come on Smackdown" Valerie argued.

"And I was wrong to do that,you shouldn't have been there last Thursday" the Rock said gently.

"Please Rock,I'll stay out of it,I swear" Valerie begged.

"Whether you stay out of it or not,you always seem to get hurt" the Rock said.

Valerie looked a bit taken aback by that comment.

"You're making it sound like I get hurt on purpose" Valerie said.

The Rock sighed and said:

"I don't want you to get hurt again,therefore I'm not letting you be my valet"

Valerie swore under her breath.She closed her eyes and said:

"Fine,if that's what you want"

The Rock nodded,smiled softly and said:

"I need to get ready for my interview and you,young lady,need to get ready for your match against Trish" the Rock said.

Valerie nodded and sighed.She walked out of the room and went back to her room to finish getting ready.Once she was ready and the Rock's interview was over,it was time for her match.Valerie walked up to the entrance her belt around her waist and her chin in the air.

Valerie walked out and into the ring,Trish was already in the ring and the match started right away.Valerie clubbed Trish down,following it up with stomps to the chest and abdomen.Valerie hit a big boot but missed a knee drop.

Trish went up top and went for a crossbody but missed and landed on her already injured hand,courtesy of Jazz.Valerie decided that she wouldn't take advantage of this weakness unless she really had to and hit Trish with a low dropkick.

Valerie went for the pin,1,2 but Trish kicked out.Valerie hit a back bodydrop on Trish and went for the pin again.1,2 but Trish kicked out.Trish than hit Valerie with a jawbreaker and hit chops on Valerie's chest in the corner.Valerie flapjacked Trish into the turnbuckle,then scoop slammed her down and legdropped her.1,2 but Trish kicked out yet again.

Valerie hit Trish with hard right hand punches and put Trish into the Half Crab,turning to the head and turning it into the STF.Trish crawled to the ropes and grabbed hold of it.Valerie underhooked Trish and lift her up,then dropped her to the mat.Trish came back with a hardkick and looks for the Stratusfaction but Valerie countered and hit the Last Ride on Trish.1,2,3.Valerie retained her Women's Championship.

Valerie coughed as she walked into the dressingroom area,she had landed really bad at one point in the match and breathing was difficult.Maybe she needed to see a doctor.She walked to the doctor's office only to find the doctor gone,RVD was however in there.

"Hey,long time no see" RVD said cheerfully.

Valerie nodded but when she tried to smile,she broke into a fit of coughs.RVD's smile turned into a frown and he walked to her.He put his arm around her to steady her and helped her sit down.

"I didn't see your match because I was in here,did you land wrong?" RVD asked.

Valerie just nodded,breathing was getting more and more difficult.Just than the doctor came back into the room with RVD's bandages but RVD shrugged him off telling him Valerie needed help first.The doctor helped Valerie onto a higher table and immediately began checking her airways.He managed to clear her throat enough for her to be able to breathe normally again but just to be sure he sent her to the hospital.

RVD insisted on coming with Valerie and Valerie didn't wanna argue,she didn't wanna go alone anyway.She was taken to a hospital and checked and it turned out part of her right lung had collapsed,they fixed it and she was told to take it easy.Valerie promised that she would,knowing that she wouldn't,and went to leave when Jeff came into the room,he saw Valerie sitting on the bed and RVD sitting in a chair next to the bed.Uhoh,Valerie thought as she saw Jeff's expression change from worry into fury.
