A/N : Thanks everyone for the wonderful reviews.

Smackdown : 12-09-2002.

Valerie smiled as she looked behind her.Her father and her pregnant stepmother were right behind her having a conversation.About the baby most likely,Valerie thought with a smile.Valerie was so happy that Sara was pregnant,she would be having a baby brother or baby sister soon and she couldn't wait.

Valerie had a match for that night against Victoria,the winner of the match would go on to face Jacqueline at Unforgiven ten days later for the number one contendership and Valerie was determined to win but her mind wasn't with the match,it was with her father and stepmother,not to mention her boyfriend.Things were heating up between Taker and Brock and they were bound to get out of hand soon.

Valerie shrugged the thought off when she felt a gentle hand rub her back.

"Hey,a little spaced out?" Sara asked with a soft smile on her face.

Valerie smiled as well and nodded.

"I know this whole situation isn't easy for you either,are you going to be okay?" Sara asked.

"Yeah,I'll be fine.I'm more worried about you and the baby" Valerie said,gently touching Sara's belly.

"We'll be fine,we all will be.If you ever need to talk I'm here" Sara said.

"Thanks" Valerie said.

"Hey" Taker called,sticking his head out of the lockerroom "Are you two coming or what?"

Sara rolled her eyes and Valerie giggled.Taker frowned as they passed him.

"What's so funny?" he asked as he closed the door.

But Sara and Valerie merely giggled.

***

Valerie sat watching the match between Brock and Hardcore Holly with avid interest,she knew her boyfriend would win so she wasn't really interested in that,she was interested in the way Brock behaved,the way Paul Heyman behaved,anything that could tell her whether or not they were planning something.When she found that she couldn't discover anything she sat back and started chewing her nails.

"Nervous about something?" Taker asked,who was sitting right beside her.

"No,why?" Valerie murmured with her nail still in her mouth.

"You're biting your nails" Taker said.

"I always bite my nails,that doesn't mean I'm nervous all the time" Valerie said.

Taker smiled at Valerie and she sighed.

"Alright,so maybe I'm a little nervous" Valerie said.

"About what?" Taker asked.

"I don't know,that's the weird part" Valerie said.

As was expected Brock defeated Hardcore Holly and sauntered backstage along with Heyman.

"There's something about Paul Heyman's gloating that tells me he's up to something" Valerie blurted.

"He better not be" Taker muttered.

Valerie frowned thoughtfully,she hoped…no,she prayed that Brock wouldn't stoop to Heyman's level any further but with the influence Heyman had on him,it wasn't likely that he wouldn't.

Valerie watched in dismay as Billy and Chuck's ceremony was disrupted by Rosey and Jamal.She thought they looked really sweet together and not they wouldn't be getting married,not tonight anyway.Stephanie McMahon also got hurt during the attack and Valerie felt bad for her,she really wasn't that bad a person.

***

The time had come,it was time for Taker's match against Matt Hardy and although that in itself wasn't worrying,the fact that Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar accompanied Matt to the ring was.Valerie tensed when the match started and she could see Sara wasn't too happy about the odd's either.Valerie figured only stress could come of it so she turned the monitor off.Sara frowned and Valerie smiled.

"I'm going to get a cup of coffee.Do you want a soda or something?.Orange juice?.Milk perhaps?" Valerie asked,getting up.

Sara chuckled and looked up at Valerie.

"Orange juice will be fine" Sara said.

Valerie nodded and left the room to find the proper drinks.It took her a good deal of time to find the soda stand and the coffee machine and she quickly made her way back to the lockerroom.She couldn't believe her eyes as she stepped into the room.

Her father was on the floor,out cold.Brock was looming over Sara,looking at her in a threatening manner and obviously intimidating the hell out of her.Valerie felt her temper flare up as she jumped forward.Her boot connected with the side of Brock's head rather loudly and it sent him reeling backwards.When Brock looked up he was face to face with an irate Valerie Calloway.She stood over her father and in front of Sara as she berated him.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Valerie yelled,pushing Brock.

"Valerie…" Brock tried.

"Don't you Valerie me,this is my family.How dare you even go near them?" Valerie yelled.

"Please,just let me explain" Brock pleaded.

"There is nothing to explain,get out" Valerie snarled "GET OUT"

Brock looked very sad as he walked away from a very angry Valerie.

"Somebody get some help for my father" Valerie yelled at the referee's that had come into the room.

An ambulance was called as Valerie embraced her stepmother and comforted her.Sara went with Taker in the ambulance and Valerie tearfully stayed behind.

***

Valerie stumbled towards the corner,her elbow felt like it was about to pop out of it's socket and her back was killing her.She had already made alot of mistakes in the match and she couldn't afford to make any more mistakes.

Valerie yelped when Victoria kneed her in her back and swung around to let her fist connect with Victoria's cheek.Victoria fell back and the referee warned Valerie.

"No fists Calloway" the ref said.

Valerie nodded but she didn't really care.She went to pounce on Victoria but suddenly somebody grabbed her foot and violently pulled her from the ring.She whirled around and looked right into Chris Benoit's smirking face.He laughed as he grabbed her sore elbow,making her cry out and pulled her to him.

"Time to play powderpuff" Benoit snarled into her face.

Benoit threw Valerie into the ringsteps as Victoria got the DQ loss.Benoit kept chopping her in the chest and kicking her in the knees until somebody pulled him off.As Brock watched Valerie get to her feet,he looked to be unsure of what to do.

When she was on her feet,she looked at him and her expression turned cold.She still loved him but what he had almost done was incomprehensible to her.She turned around and walked away from him,up the ramp and into the back.When Valerie got backstage,Michael Cole was waiting for her.

"Valerie,could we get a comment on what we just saw?" Michael Cole asked her.

Before Valerie could say anything,Brock came walking up to her and Valerie scowled at him.

"Back off" Valerie snarled.

"I need to know where we stand Val,that's all I ask.Tell me where this leaves us" Brock asked.

"Do you even realize what you almost did?.Do you comprehend how wrong what you almost did is?" Valerie asked,her emotions evident in her voice.

Brock didn't say anything and tears flooded Valerie's eyes.

"I think you need to stay away from me for a while,a long while" Valerie snapped.

She turned around and walked away from Brock,leaving him standing there.Valerie walked down the hall and that's when the pain in her abdomen and chest from Benoit's chops and kicks hit her.She burst into tears and sat on the floor,bawling her eyes out.She felt two strong arms wrapping themselves around her,she felt herself getting picked up and carried somewhere.She didn't know who it was and she didn't care anymore,she just wanted to curl up and sleep.
