Thank you so much. Please read and review!!**
Trish and Dave walked to the vending area, they each bought a power bar and a water and sat down. "I don't know what to do Trish, and I would like your advice."
Trish nodded her head, "What's going on?"
"Aly wants to live with me. She doesn't care whether she's on the road with me or she thinks that she can live at my house without me and have my sister check in on her. She doesn't care if it means giving up gymnastics for the time being, she just knows that she doesn't want to live with Angie anymore. It kills me because she is so unhappy and I don't know what to do."
"Wow, I didn't know that they didn't get along that well. What brought this on?" Trish asked.
"She's a good kid, but she's been kind of ignored, and she never got along well with Angie. They don't see eye to eye. Aly is a lot like me and that irritates Angie. Her grades are slipping, Angie doesn't go to her gymnastics meets because of work or Jenni's stuff and now she's dating. Aly is very responsible, she doesn't party, or anything like that, but she ran away to her friend's house because all Angie and her do is argue with each other. I don't know what to do. I feel so helpless. I mean, if I talk to Vince and bring her on the road with me she would be home-schooled. And she would only be able to take gymnastics through the center by my house on our days at home, but if she stays with Angie, I know that her school will suffer. She's going to be 15 soon but I can't let her stay at my house alone. Maybe I could see if she could stay with Ashley, but she has a 2- month-old little girl, and I don't know if I could impose on her like that. What do you think I should do?" Dave asked Trish.
Trish felt so bad for Dave. She knew that he was beating himself up for Aly not thriving in her new environment. He wanted to do whatever it took to help his little girl. "Well..maybe you should try to cover all options and re-present the idea to her. Talk to Vince, talk to your sister, talk to Angie, then sit down and talk to her. That way you can present all of the possible options." Trish suggested. "That's what I would do. I know that my little sister wants to come on the road with me this summer, but I don't know about that."
Dave nodded, "That's a really good idea. Cover all the bases so it's not so foggy. That way there's not so many what ifs in the picture. Trish you should have seen the look on her face when she was telling me all of this, she looked like she just wanted to cry. I can't stand to see her like this."
Trish went over and held him. "I know it's hard to see your kids in pain, whether it's physical or mental. I really think that would be the best way to go."
Dave leaned on her while she was hugging him, "It just kills me that the two of them can't get along. I mean, yes she's very head-strong, but she's also very easy-going, so I don't see what would cause such a problem."
Trish nodded, "I don't know Angie, so I can't answer that. But maybe it's hard for her because she reminds her so much of you."
Dave nodded. It felt really good to be in her arms. Someone who seemed to care about what he was feeling. Towards the end of his marriage, Angie never wanted to hear about what was going on in his head. If he felt bad because he was wrestling on the same night as one of the girls' functions, she didn't want to hear it because "you brought it upon yourself by choosing to do it as a career."
Trish sat there holding him, and couldn't help but think how great it felt. She really liked being around him, and now, this is the first time that she's touched him since being in the pool and horsing around. It was great to find someone who was as laid-back and easy-going and playful as him who yet put up such a strong, wicked front. She couldn't let go, she loved holding him.
Dave's pager went off. He looked down and it was Shane. Shane had told him that he would page him when he finished with Jenni. Dave looked at Trish, "that was Shane saying that he's done giving Jenni an idea of the WWE's new media department."
"Oh, well then I suppose you should go and get her." Trish said, letting go of Dave and backing up a little. Feeling a little embarrassed for holding on a little longer than she probably needed to.
"Yeah, want to walk with me?" Dave asked her. Feeling a little shy and awkward, but not knowing why.
"Sure," Trish answered a little too quickly, then she felt herself turning red for answering so fast. The two looked like a couple of school kids.
They began walking towards the locker rooms and Dave turned to Trish, "Tonight's your blind date isn't it?"
She nodded groaning inside. "Yeah, it is." She was thinking about how much money she would pay Alanah to make Dave her blind date.
"Well, I wish you the best of luck. Hopefully yours will turn out better than mine did. And hopefully they won't call you silly names all night long." Dave threw in there. He was starting to really like being around Trish, and whoever was going on the blind date with her was definitely going to be one lucky man.
"Thanks, they had better not. Then I'll be forced to kick some ass." Trish said with a laugh.
They were talking about what she was thinking of wearing for the date when they caught up to Shane and Jenni. "Hey there, did you have a good time?" Dave asked Jenni.
She nodded excitedly, "Dad it was so neat. That is definitely what I want to go to school for."
Dave smiled, "Thanks Shane, I really appreciate it."
Shane smiled back, "Not a problem, we had a great time, didn't we Jenni?"
Jenni nodded, "Thanks again Mr. McMahon."
"Oh, call me Shane, my dad is Mr. McMahon."
Jenni giggled, "Oh yeah, I forgot about that."
They all laughed. Trish looked at Dave and Jenni, "Well I have to get going, my match is up first, so I'll talk to ya later." She waved and headed towards her locker room.
Dave and Shane said their good byes and Jenni and Dave walked off. "Dad, what were you and Trish up to?"
Dave smiled at her, "Nothing sweetheart, why do you ask?"
"Because I really like her, that's all." Jenni replied sheepishly.
"She's a good friend of mine, and I'm glad that you guys like her." Dave replied.
"Dad, Can I talk to you about something?" Jenni asked cautiously.
Dave looked at his watch, "Sure, but just be warned that if the talk goes longer than an hour, then I'm going to have to interrupt because of my match."
"That's ok. Dad, I'm really worried about Aly. Her and mom are always fighting, they never talk anymore. Whenever her and mom have a fight, she always leaves, and I'm afraid that she's never coming back sometimes. I think that you need to talk to her. She really misses you and it makes mom really mad. Mom talks about her after she leaves and I always have to listen. It's hard."
Dave rubbed her back, "I'm sorry that your mom is putting you in the middle, and I'll talk to her about it. Your sister talked to me and we're trying to work something out. Ok?"
Jenni nodded her head, "Thanks dad." And she hugged him.
"You're welcome dear." Dave said patting her back. "Nidia is doing your sister's hair, do you want her to do your hair also?"
"Sure, that would be cool!" Jenni exclaimed.
Dave walked her to the female locker room and dropped her off, and then picked up his phone to call Angie, but decided against it.
Trish was getting ready for her match when Alanah walked in. "Hey girl, are you ready for your date with John tonight?"
"Well, not yet, but I will be after I kick Charlene's butt," Trish said loud enough for Charlene (Jazz) to hear.
"That's what you think, it ain't white girl day." Charlene replied laughing.
Everyone shared a good laugh, Alanah turned to Trish, "I think that you're really going to like him. He's a pediatrician and is just a wonderful guy."
"If he's so wonderful, then why isn't he with someone?"
"Well, some have a problem with him being on call, and his last girlfriend died in a car accident, and your going to be his first date since the accident." Alanah replied.
"What?!? I'm going to be his first date after the accident? Great, this'll be real interesting." Trish exclaimed, then started to mumble to herself.
"Trust me, he's ok. Just a little hurt. He really liked her and didn't want to start dating until he felt comfortable. He's good looking, he reduced his work load and he is just great." Alanah responded confidently.
"Well I'm trusting you on this one." Trish said, then turned to Charlene, "You ready Jazzy Jazz?"
"You got it, let's hit it." And they left.
Aly turned to Jenni, "What if they really do like each other, then she'll never date dad."
"I know, but what can we do?" Jenni said with a worried look.
Stacy popped in on the girls' conversation, "Don't you guys worry, Bubba, D-Von and I have a plan." And she winked and walked out of the room.
**So, how will Trish's date go? Will she fall for him or will it be a disaster? What is Stacy's plan? Please continue to read and review. Thanks!!!!**
