**Thanks to NoInkInMyPen, Matty1, Trishrocks for the reviews, I really
appreciate them! Thanks for forgiving me! Please continue to read and
review!**
Trish dropped Melissa off at home and Stacy hopped up to the front seat. Trish got out and walked Melissa to the door, gave her a hug and made sure she got inside. Trish rubbed her tummy, "Take care and I'll call you after my match. But I want you to call me when you get home from school and tell me how it went."
Melissa nodded, "I will. Have a safe trip."
"Thanks! See ya." And Trish headed back to the car. She looked over at Stacy, "Are you ready to head to Raw?"
"Definitely, let's go." Stacy replied.
And the girls took off.
~~*~**~~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~**~~**~*~*~*~ Brock walked over to where Dave was, "You ready?"
"Yup, let's go." Dave replied.
And the boys headed out.
Dave looked at Brock, "So how are you and Nicole doing?"
"Gee, just dive right in there don't ya?" Brock said with a laugh. "We're surviving. I'm not going to say things are awful, but I'm not going to say that things are great either."
"What's wrong?"
"Same thing that's always wrong. She's lonely, she wants someone who'll be around. But yet she loves me and can't picture being without me. And I try to think about Mya, and I know how much I loved having both parents around, and I really want to try and give her that. But, on the other hand, I don't want to give her an unhealthy environment either, so for now Nicole and I will do rounds, and we'll see how it ends up." Brock explained. "So, how are your girls? Where are they at?"
"Well, Aly and Jenni both had their final tournaments on Saturday and Sunday, so they're flying out to Raw. Then all three will be with me." Dave said to Brock.
"Wow, you're certainly going to have your hands full. How's Angie doing?"
"She's getting better. She's a fighter, she won't let this thing get her down. But, she can't take care of the girls real well and she's not able to drive yet, so Jenni doesn't have a choice but to come with me. I know that it's going to be hard on her, so I want her to know that she can be honest with me. And Angie doesn't have too far to go until they'll clear her to drive, and then she'll be able to take Jenni." Dave explained.
"I see. Well maybe uncle Brock can help to cheer her up." Brock said. "So.tell me about how you and Trish are doing."
"We're working on it. We're officially back together, and I think that things are really going to be different this time. I quit drinking, I've taken some anger management courses, and I talked to a counselor, and I think that things are going to be a lot better."
"I didn't know that you were drinking that much. Does that mean I shouldn't ask if you want to stop at the bar?" Brock asked.
"Not like that, that's fine. But, no one knew that I had been drinking a lot more than that. It was pretty much a daily thing. Especially when Angie got in her accident, I was so stressed out that I was drinking a lot, everyday and no one knew. Well, the kids knew, and I really hurt them, and that affected me, so I quit. So I know how to watch myself, and I'm still able to drink and have a good time, but I don't drink at home by myself when I'm pissed off, stressed out, or depressed." Dave said to him.
"That's a pretty good law to live by." Brock commented. "Well, let's go to the bar, have a beer and unwind a little."
"Sounds good to me." Dave replied.
And Brock headed towards the first bar they found.

Stacy looked at Trish, "Ok girl, spill it. What's all going on between you and Dave now?"
"Well.we're officially back together and working on making our relationship great." Trish said with a smile.
"I'm happy for you, but I have to ask. Do you trust him? Aren't you a little scared or nervous about this? I'm not trying to be nosy or a bitch, but I just want to make sure that everything will be ok this time." Stacy asked.
"It's ok, I don't think bad of you. Him and I had a long talk over dinner, and he admitted to his mistakes and told me all about how he has worked towards being a better man, and I believe him. I'm being careful though, don't worry." Trish replied.
"You haven't told him you still love him though, have you?" Stacy asked.
Trish bit her bottom lip, "A few times."
"Trish!! That's where you're going to wind up hurt. You can't tell him yet, you're supposed to make him work for it." Stacy whined.
"No, I think he knows what he needs to do if he's going to keep me around. He's flying out to my house on Wednesday with the girls and we're all going to get together and do something." Trish said.
"Alright, I'll drop the subject, but I want you to know that I'm here if you need me."
**Sorry this is so short, but I'm just trying to bridge to the more interesting parts of the story. Please continue to read and review! Preview: What's going to happen when Dave and the girls show up at Trish's house? Thanks!!**
