A/N : I am completely stuck with this story,I've tried the best I could on this chapter but it's not as good as I would like it to be.

Smackdown : 14-11-2002.

Valerie sighed as she and Edge walked backstage,hand in hand.She had spent the previous days at home with her father and stepmother and although Sara was almost exactly nine months pregnant and continually tired,she had taken the time to talk to her stepdaughter.

Sara had helped her alot,she had told her that what happened with John Cena wasn't her fault and that it wasn't her shame.Sara's words didn't keep all the nightmares away but it helped her deal with the fear a little better.Her father had of course been furious and he swore that he would make Cena pay.

Valerie managed to convince him that what he needed to do at the moment was stay with Sara and be there when the baby was born.Taker tried to argue with her but she was adamant and so he gave up.He did tell her that he would make Cena pay as soon as he was back.

Edge had been released from hospital 5 days earlier after it was discovered that there were no major injuries to his body.Valerie didn't tell him what happened with John Cena right away because she wanted him to feel better first but when she did he almost lost it.It was only the fact that Cena had been suspended that kept him from throwing a rampage as soon as they got to the arena.

Edge didn't have a match for that night but he said something about watching the match between Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle real closely.Valerie wasn't happy with that thought,she didn't want her boyfriend to rush right back into the thick of things so soon.

Her thoughts were interrupted when a hand waved before her eyes.She looked up and saw her boyfriend looking down at her with a look of concern on his face.

"Alot on your mind,huh?" Edge asked.

Valerie nodded and looked down.Edge gently took Valerie's head between his hands and got her to look at him.

"It'll be alright,I promise" Edge said "Okay?"

Valerie nodded and Edge gently kissed her on her lips.Suddenly Edge felt himself getting pushed forward, he stumbled but didn't fall and he managed to catch Valerie as she almost fell back.Edge whirled around and found himself face to face with Brock Lesnar.Brock seemed to be okay after the attack by the Big Show but Valerie knew better,she knew Brock well enough to know that he was hurting,she could see it in his eyes.Brock smirked and looked at Valerie.

"Hi little Valerie.How are you doing?" Brock asked mockingly.

"I was doing fine until you showed up" Valerie snarled.

"Don't let me spoil your mood,just pretend I'm not here" Brock said,grinning.

"What the hell's your problem,Brock?" Edge asked,angrily while placing himself in front of Valerie.

"Let's just go" Valerie said to Edge.

Brock snickered as Valerie and Edge walked off.

"Bye Valerie,I'll see you again real soon" Brock called after her.

Valerie ignored him but she had to pull Edge with her to keep him from attacking Brock.Once they rounded the corner Edge hugged Valerie close.

"It's okay,I'll keep you safe" Edge said.

"There are so many of them,why are there so many of them?" Valerie asked "The Big Show,Chris Benoit, Brock Lesnar,Christian and now John Cena"

Edge didn't know what to say so instead of talking he held her close.He would die before letting her get hurt,he would kill to keep her happy and he would certainly keep loving her with all he had.He just hoped that that was enough.

Despite all the problems in her life and all the things that made her unhappy Valerie wasn't unhappy about her opponent for the night.She was to defend her title against Trish and she was positive that it would be a good match.

Trish was set to go out first and when her music cued she came walking past Valerie.

"Good luck firebird" Trish enthused.

"Thanks Trish,you too" Valerie said.

Trish walked out much to the delight of the fans and Valerie chuckled as she listened to the cheers.Not that she thought it was strange that the fans cheered,Trish was after all a beautiful woman.When her music cued she took a deep breath and walked out.

The fans cheered loudly and Valerie was still amazed to see all the signs in the crowd that had her name on it.There were quite a few signs that had her and Edge on it and Valerie smiled at the sight.

The bell rang as soon as both Trish and Valerie were in the ring and ready.Trish kicked Valerie in the gut to start it off and then hit her with a couple of right hands before grabbing her in a side headlock.Valerie whipped Trish off the ropes and Trish came back with a shoulder block to knock Valerie down.Unfortunately Valerie's shoulders were too high up and so Trish's shoulder hit Valerie straight in the chest.Valerie cringed in pain as she went down and Trish went for the cover.

1…2…but Valerie kicked out.

Valerie knocked Trish to the outside of the ring with a hard kick to the head and then jumped on her from the ring apron with a Lou Thesz Press and followed it up with some hard right hands.When they went back into the ring,Trish hit Valerie with the Stratusfaction out of nowhere and Valerie went down hard.Trish covered.

1…2…but Valerie put her foot on the rope just in time.

Trish locked Valerie in the half crab and as Valerie tried to get to the ropes,Trish turned it into the STF. Fortunately for Valerie she was finally able to get to the ropes to break the hold.Valerie nailed Trish with a kick to the chest to knock her down and then went for the pin.

1…2…but Trish kicked out.

Valerie then planted Trish with the Last Ride and pinned her for the win.Valerie helped Trish to her feet after the match and smiled.

"Great match,Trish" Valerie said.

Trish nodded and smiled.They hugged eachother briefly and then Trish raised Valerie's arm.The fans went mad at the sight of the two women standing in the ring.

***

It had to go wrong,it was bound to go wrong.Edge had promised Valerie that he wouldn't get involved in the match between Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit but he had gotten involved.He and Rey Mysterio had planted themselves at ringside along with Eddy and Chavo Guerrero.

There had been a few scuffles during the match but it wasn't until Kurt threw Eddy into Edge and Rey that all hell broke loose.The fight spilled into the ring and the match was forgotten.Edge and Rey ended up being escorted to the back.

Valerie shook her head as she met Edge backstage but couldn't stay angry at him when he threw her his heart melting smile.She stepped into his embrace and sighed happily as he held her close.She loved the man very much and she wished he'd be more careful but if there was one thing about him she couldn't resist it was his smile.Then there's his body but let's save that for later tonight,Valerie thought with a smile.
