Over the next couple days Trish and Dave worked with Melissa to help her with her auditions. Her goal was the Squared Circle because that's where Trish had trained. After she was there long enough to learn the basics, she wanted to go on to the Hart Brothers training facility.
Trish had pretty much allowed Melissa to move in with them and be a live- in nanny while finishing her last year of high school and trying to get into wrestling school. Trish's arm was healing faster than the docs had anticipated so the only thing holding her back was the fractured orbital bone that still gave Trish terrible headaches.
Dave walked up behind Trish and put his arms around her waist, "Baby, I've got a great idea."
"Mmm.what's that?" Trish said leaning back on him.
"How about we run away?" Dave said kissing Trish on her neck.
"What do you mean run away?" Trish said squirming.
"Well, we pack our bags, and go far, far away, just the two of us for a week, we send the kids to my sisters and give Melissa a week off to concentrate on everything, and then we'll come back home." Dave answered quickly.
"Have you been plotting this?" Trish asked.
"No, of course not." Dave said looking away.
"Ok, what's our vacation plans?" Trish asked turning around in his arms to face him.
"Well, I was thinking about a cruise in the Bahamas. I have tickets reserved, all I have to do is confirm." Dave said to her.
"Honey, that sounds great. I would be a fool to argue. Let's go!" Trish said.
He smiled and held her, "We leave Saturday morning."
"Ok, sounds great!" Trish exclaimed.
The week goes by quickly. Trish and Dave had decided to drive the girls down to Virginia instead of flying them down. They visited with his sister all day Friday, and then on Saturday they flew out to the cruise.
Trish looked at Dave, "Wow, the boat looks so big! I've never been on a cruise before."
"It's great. I made sure to book us on a great tour, this will be an experience you'll never forget." Dave said to her. He pulled her close and kissed her. "Come on let's board."
They boarded and found their cabin. They went and stood out on the deck as they pulled away from shore. Dave was determined to put their troubles behind them and what better way to do that then with a vacation away from everyone.
During the day they would go tour an island, and at night there were so many activities on the boat that there was never a dull moment. The trip was definitely doing exactly what Dave had planned on it to do and that was to bring them closer together. Towards the end of the week, Trish started to not feel good, so they just laid near the pool and relaxed for the end of their trip.
They picked up the girls and headed back up to Toronto. After the first day back, Trish was feeling much better. Dave had been concerned, but Trish just blew him off, "It was probably too much exotic food mixed with too many night time exotic drinks." She would say.
Melissa could tell a huge difference from before they went to when they came back. Trish was a lot happier and they were really working well as a couple again. Dave was at rehab and Trish was at a doctor's appointment checking the progress on how healed she was. Today was the day that she found out when she could return to the ring. Melissa was studying for a big test, and Natalie was napping when Melissa heard Trish's car fly up the driveway. Trish whipped open the door and looked at Melissa, "Come check the mail with me."
Melissa looked puzzled, "Ok?" And she got up and walked with Trish.
"Guess what?" Trish said to her in an excited voice.
"What?!? Why are you so giddy?" Melissa responded.
"Because I get to wrestle again in a week! Next Raw, I'm so there!" Trish said with a big smile.
"That's great!" Melissa said hugging her.
Trish opened the mailbox and pulled out the mail. She flipped through it and quickly held it to her chest. "Oh my god Melissa, you'll never guess what's in the mail."
"Your notice to appear in court to testify against that asshole Peter." Melissa offered.
"No, got that yesterday, I'm holding a letter to you from Squared Circle." Trish said to her.
Melissa looked at Trish, "You have to open it, I can't do it. I'm too nervous."
"Believe in yourself and you will achieve your dreams." Trish said. "Let's go inside and open it."
They both ran inside and Trish opened it and cleared her throat, "Dear Melissa Stratigias, We would like to extend to you an offer to become one of our students. You will need to undergo a complete physical along with HIV testing prior to us accepting you. YOU DID IT!" Trish read and held her.
Melissa shrieked and they were jumping up and down holding each other when Dave walked in. "Ok, what am I missing?" Dave asked.
"Melissa got an offer from Squared Circle, she got accepted, she just has to go through the physical." Trish said excitedly. She turned to Melissa, "You have to call mom."
Melissa started calling people and Trish brought Dave into the living room and laid an amazing kiss on him. "Wow, what was that for?" Dave said with a smile.
"I'm clear to wrestle! Raw will be my first day back, Vince gave me through Monday off." Trish said with a smile. .
Dave held her, "Hon, that's great!"
They sat down and started to talk about her return. A little while later Melissa reappeared, "Ok, my physical is in two weeks, and then it's off to wrestling school I go." She said with a smile.
"Now Melissa, I want to make sure that you're not getting in over your head here. I mean full-time high school, part-time wrestling school and part-time nanny is a lot to juggle all at once." Trish started to lecture but Melissa cut her off.
"Trish, I already set up a schedule, I go to school from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m then I come here and watch Nattie from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. when Aly gets home. Then I go to the wrestling school from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. I come home, grab a snack and go to bed. Nattie normally lets me get my homework done, but if I don't, I'll just do it after wrestling or during my study hall which I conveniently chose as my first class of the day. Trish, I'm so glad I took your advice and went to Summer School for the first two years to help with graduating early or making Senior year a breeze." Melissa said hugging her.
"Wow, I'm impressed. Girl, I'm behind you 100% of the way." Trish said with a smile.
The rest of the week seemed to fly by for Trish. She flew out to Raw and arrived at the arena. She walked in the arena and took a deep breath, "Home sweet home." She said with a smile.
She was just walking into the girls locker room when she heard a familiar voice call down the hallway, "Hey baby, lookin' good." She looked and there was Brock, "Come give me a hug." He said opening his arms.
She smiled and ran to him and hugged him. "How's everything going?" She asked.
"Good, Nicole and Mya are here tonight, and Nicole wants to meet you." Brock said with a smile.
"Then you'd better let go of me, she'll flip if she sees you holdin' on to me." Trish said laughing. "Is she going to kick my ass too?"
"No, and don't worry about it, we had a long talk, and she knows that we're just friends, and that she doesn't have anything to worry about." Brock said, but then leaned in close, "OR does she? How are you and Dave?"
"Dave and I are great, so no she doesn't have anything to worry about. Honestly, we've never been better. But I'm running late, so I have to start getting ready. When they get here, bring them by the locker room." Trish said squeezing his hand.
"Too late, that's where they are. Nicole and Stacy get along really well, so Stacy brought her in there." Brock said walking her back to the door. "See ya."
Trish walked in and there was a sign, Welcome Back Trish. The girls had decorated an area for her. Trish smiled "You guys, you didn't have to do this!"
Nicole walked over to her, "So you're the infamous Trish Stratus."
Trish took a deep breath, she turned around and smiled, "Yes, you must be Nicole. It's nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet Brock's.what does Nidia call you?" Nicole started to say.
Trish blushed, "Work wife."
"That's it! It's great to meet you." Nicole said smiling. "And this is Mya."
"Oh, can I hold her?" Trish asked.
Nicole nodded and handed her over. Trish picked her up and played with her for a couple minutes while talking with all of the girls.
Nidia walked in and not noticing that Nicole was in there looked at Trish and smiled, "So, have you been in the "Next Big Thing's" bed lately?"
Trish blushed, "Nidia, I want you to meet Brock's fiancee Nicole, Nicole, this is Nidia, the one that calls me Brock's work wife."
Nidia turned beet red, "Ma'am, I was just teasing her, I didn't mean anything by it. Umm.."
Nicole interrupted her, "It's ok. Brock explained the whole thing to me. It's nice to meet you."
There was a knock on the door, "Trish, Lisa Marie, Charlene, you're up next."
"That I music to my ears," Trish said with a smile, "Let's hit it."
