Trish went back on the road without knowing if Angie would approve the girls going to Toronto because Dave wasn't able to get a hold of her. Normally Trish didn't mind going back to work, but this time was different. After Dave dropped Trish off at the airport, he was going to meet up with Ashley and Natalie and go to Natalie's dr's appointment, and then Natalie would go home with Dave for good. Trish really wished that she could have been there for that. Trish smiled to herself, they had gone baby shopping for Nattie's arrival and it had been so much fun!! They bought everything that a baby would need, and then some. It really made Trish's heart melt watching Dave picking out the different things.
Trish arrived at the arena and there were fans waiting outside for autographs. She glanced down at her watch and saw that she had gotten there early enough to stay outside and sign for awhile. She got out of her car to go and sign autographs and the crowd was so electric. She could tell that tonight was going to be a great night! She felt bad that Dave had to miss out on all of this, but then she thought of him rocking Nattie to sleep and singing lullabies and realized that he almost had it better.
When she finished, she went inside the arena and found Stacy and Amy (Lita). "Hey girls, what's up?"
"Nothin' much, just going to grab coffee, wanna come with?" Stacy replied.
"Sure, I have so much to tell you guys!" Trish exclaimed.
They got to the coffee vendor and headed to the dressing room. Trish sat down between them. "Dave and I had a heart to heart talk over the weekend. There were some things that he hadn't told me yet, and he wanted me to know the truth so I didn't find out the rumors and fly off the handle." Trish started to explain. "He has a 3 month old little girl named Natalie Elizabeth, and she was staying with his sister while he was on the road. We talked it over, and decided to take back custody, and he would bring her on the road when he returns, and we would take turns watching her."
Amy and Stacy hugged her. "That's great, congratulations!!" Stacy exclaimed.
"Now that's the way to have a baby!" Amy exclaimed.
"So, I told Dave that once he got the other girls back from Angie, they should go up to Toronto and stay at my place for the summer since Dave's house is too small for everyone."
"Dave doesn't have a big enough house?" Stacy asked. "I thought all houses had 3 or more bedrooms?"
"No, this is a townhouse, Dave never bought a bigger house after they sold the house when the divorce went through. So, I thought why not go up to Toronto, rehab up there, my little sister can keep an eye on the girls while Dave's at the dr's office everyday, and then Melissa can earn some extra money." Trish explained.
"That's great Trish, I am so happy for you. You really seem like you've met your match." Amy said giving her a hug.
"I'm so glad you went on that blind date." Stacy said hugging the both of them.
They finished their coffee and started to get ready for their matches.
When Trish finished her match, she checked her cell phone, and saw that Dave had called. She smiled and called him back. He answered the phone quickly, "Hello?"
"Whatcha doin' hon?" Trish asked in a bubbly voice.
"Just put the baby down in her crib for the night. What are you doing?" Dave replied.
"Just got out of the ring and getting ready to step in the shower. Too bad you're not here." Trish purred.
"Now, now don't be starting anything." Dave said with a laugh,
Trish giggled. "How did the doctor's appointment go? Is everything ok so far?"
"Well.she's doing great. She's 10 lbs. 4 oz. And 24 inches long." Dave answered proudly.
"Wow, that is great!" Trish exclaimed. "You'd better be giving her lots of hugs and kisses for me."
"Don't worry, I will." Dave replied. "Do you want me to let you shower?"
"Only if you're coming with me stud." Trish said in a southern drawl. "Why don't I call you when I get back to the hotel?"
"Sounds great. I love ya." Dave said to her.
Trish smiled, the words just melted her heart. "I love you too Dave." She said and hung up.
Little did Trish know that Amy and Stacy were also in the room. "Ahh, they're in love." Stacy said in a sing-song voice.
"Isn't it great?" Amy asked Trish.
"Yeah, yeah it is." Trish said with a big smile. "I'm going to go and shower." Trish said quickly and headed off.
She got showered up and headed back to the hotel. She was sharing a room with Amy this time. When she walked in the hotel room, Amy was sprawled across her bed talking to her boyfriend Matt.
Trish decided that that looked very comfortable and plopped down on her bed and talked to Dave. They talked about all sorts of things ranging from where Aly wanted to go to school, to thinking about moving in together. When she hung up, she looked over at Amy, "Do you and Matt live together now?"
"Yeah, now that he doesn't live with his dad we do. Why, what's up?" Amy asked. "Do you need a place to stay?"
"No, nothing like that, but thank you. Dave and I are starting to throw around the idea of living together and I've heard that it ruins your relationship." Trish said to Amy, "And I don't want anything like that messing us up."
"For Matt and I it made us closer. We don't have the time to plan and have a wedding, so living together is like the next best thing. I mean if you guys get along now, why not?" Amy responded happily.
"Good point. Thanks hon, I'll have to talk to him." Trish said. "Let's watch a movie."
So Amy and Trish watched a movie and went to bed.
**A FEW DAYS LATER**
It was Monday and Trish was in the locker room getting ready with a couple of the other girls when someone tapped Trish's shoulder. She turned around to be facing her youngest sister Melissa. She shrieked and held her. "What are you doing here? I've missed you so much!"
Melissa laughed and held her back, "Mom is coordinating the family reunion this year, and I'm in charge of the mailing of the invitations, so I thought that since I'm not in school anymore for the year, why not deliver yours?"
"This is so cool! I've missed you so much!" Trish said hugging her again. Trish took her around and introduced her to everyone in the locker room.
They were talking when Charlene (Jazz) motioned for Trish, "Hey, you've got a couple of visitors."
"Wow, when did I get so popular?" Trish quipped. She walked over to the door and there stood Aly and Jenni.
"Hi girls! What are you guys doing here?" Trish asked hugging them.
"Well, we were in town, so we thought that we would drop by and say hi." Jenni said.
"Yeah, we missed you, so I'm really glad that you're here." Aly said holding her.
"Who's the new diva? She looks just like you." Jenni piped up.
"Oh, she's not the new diva, that's my sister Melissa." Trish explained to her.
"Melissa, these are 2 of Dave's girls, this is Aly and this is Jenni." She explained.
As Melissa and the girls were shaking hands, Dave came headed towards them carrying Natalie. "Damn Trish, you can hook me up with him. What's his name?" Melissa said trying not to drool.
"Umm..no, I will not fix you up with him." Trish said in a valley girl tone, "Melissa, that's Dave." She ran over and hugged him and Natalie.
"That's Dave?" Melissa asked Stacy. "She's a lucky woman."
"Yeah, he's a great guy." Stacy said. "But I can introduce you to the single ones later."
Trish looked at Dave, "This is my youngest sister Melissa, Melissa this is Dave."
Melissa and Dave shook hands. Melissa walked off with Stacy.
"We've been invited to my family reunion." Trish said to Dave. "What brings you guys out here?"
"Well, We just so happen to be on our way to the Toronto area, and we thought that we would stop by and see ya." Dave said with a big smile.
Trish smiled a big grin, "Really!?! It's ok?"
"Yup, mom said as long as dad's with us." Jenni piped up. "Dad said that her new boyfriend really must be loosening her up."
Everyone laughed. "Girls, this is going to be a summer to remember, I promise." Trish said hugging them again.
**Thanks again for being so patient. I'm bringing my notebook on vacation with me for any ideas I may have, so I'll have a new chapter for Monday. Thanks again and please read and review!!**
