Chapter 4

-Adam's POV

I walked backstage and grabbed the nearest towel I could find. It had been a great match. I was sure that we had gotten the biggest pop of the night. I took a sip of water and went over to Charlie. We hugged and congratulated each other on a match well done. That's when Matt came running over to me. Right away I could tell something was wrong by the terrified look on his face.

"Oh God, Adam I am so sorry!" he cried, "I don't know what happened, one minute she was there and the next..." He started rambling and I couldn't catch everything he was saying. He started talking really fast and I could only make out something about Shannon and Benoit and a video game.

"Matt, you need to slow down." After he caught his breath he started again.

"She's gone, Danny is gone. I can't find her," he stated. "I'm so sorry man. I don't know what happened!" he repeated.

"Damn it Matt. How could you have let this happen? I only asked one thing of you, to watch my daughter for twenty minutes. Was that so hard to do?" I yelled. I was panicking. Pacing back and forth I could feel my heart racing. I started running down the hallway toward my locker room. It was then I heard a voice calling me.

"Hey Adam, missing anything?" I looked up only to see that the voice belonged to Mandy McCarthy. Her and her sister had arrived in the WWE a year ago and I hadn't gotten to know either of them very well. However they both seemed like really nice girls. I looked down, and clutching her hand was my daughter. She looked up at me and smiled. She ran to me and immediately jumped into my arms.

Hugging me she said, "Daddy, I was so scared. I thought I was never going to see you again!" I kissed her on the forehead and almost cried. I held her tightly to my body and made a silent vow never again to let Matt Hardy look after my kid. Looking up I saw Mandy standing about four feet away smiling.

"Thank you so much, Mandy. I don't think I can ever repay you!" I stated as Danny shifted so that she could see her too.

"Don't mention it. Just doing my duty." She stated as she began to walk away. "Guess I should be going now. You two take care!" she waved. Danny turned to me and whispered in my ear. I looked at her and she nodded at me.

"Mandy," I called, "Please, Danny and I would love it if you would have dinner with us tonight." She turned back towards us and again flashed us a 100-watt smile.

"It would be my pleasure to join you," She announced. "However, I have a match to get ready for at the moment. Why don't you come and get me after the show?" she suggested.

I looked at Danny and she again nodded at me. "Okay, we'll be there." I stated. She waved at us and walked in the other direction. Looking down at Danny I couldn't help but smile. "You really like her don't you?" I asked. She rested her head on my shoulder and glanced up into my eyes.

"She saved my life Daddy." She announced as she hugged me again. I laughed a little and entered my locker room.

"I know she did." I replied kissing her on the cheek and setting her down on the floor.

(A/N- I think everyone knows that I don't own anything except Mandy and Missy. Please R/R and I'll continue to post new chapters.)
