A/N: You all must think I've disappeared again. Lol Well, I haven't. I'm having computer problems again. Does anyone know anything about the iTunes thing from iPod? I downloaded it do that free music thing with Pepsi, and that seems to be when all my new problems started. So do any of you know if this could be my problem? Anyways, the story. I'm glad to see ya'll liked the name change. Lol The songs I used in this chapter is Jessica Simpson's "With You" and Otep's "Sacrilege" and Kenny Loggins' "Return to Pooh Corner". I believe that's all I really had to say. So um, here's the chapter. Oh, this is going to be a really short chapter............to be followed up by that one chapter that I've been talking about. So don't be surprised at the shortness of this one.

"The real me is a southern girl with her Levis on and an open heart. Wish I could save the world, like I was super girl. The real me used to laugh all night lying in the grass just talking about love. But lately I've been jaded life got so complicated." I was in a good mood that evening. I was singing and dancing in the living room, acting as if I was a teenager again, where the only real worry I had was passing geometry for the semester. I had finally made it back to the size and weight I was before my pregnancy, 3 months after Nero was born. Thank God for that gym in the basement. I was oblivious to anything going on around me. One reason would be the music being too loud and the other because I slipped into my own little world. "I start thinking about it, I almost forgot what it was like. To know what it feels right. Cause with you, I can let my hair down. I can say anything crazy. I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground. With nothing but a T-shirt on, I never felt so beautiful. Baby as I do now. Now that I'm with you." I spun around and faced the entrance to the living room. Standing there, with his long wavy brown hair pulled back in a low ponytail, his brown eyes sparkling, was Shane. He had a large smile on his face and he started clapping at me. I felt my face get red with embarrassment as he started walking towards me. I put my hand to my head and shook it. "And how long have you been there?" I questioned looking up at him, biting my lower lip.

"Long enough to remember why I love you," he replied with a laugh. He pulled me into him and placed a tender kiss on my lips.

"I'm so glad you're home," I smiled as I turned the stereo off with the remote.

"Me too. How come it's so quiet in here?" he questioned.

"Ah, well, you see I was rescued by an angel around 7 this morning," I answered.

"Yes, we have to love those angels," he laughed. "Seriously though."

"Well, Gil showed up this morning, took Nero for the day, giving me a much needed day off, and won't be back to drop him off till 8 tonite."

"So we have three hours free of crying?" I nodded. "Diapers?" I nodded again. "Just you and me?" I nodded a third time. "Oh my Lord. What the hell are we gonna do with ourselves?!"

"Well, I personally have had one busy and good day," I grinned.

"And you did what?"

"Well, I took a nice long bath this morning when Nero left. Then I went shopping. Then I went to the spa and got a massage. And then I went to the salon. Did you notice the hair?!" I exclaimed excitedly as I pulled my Yankees hat off and pulled my hair out of its ponytail, shaking my hair out for him.

"Whoa," he said taking a step back. My hair had been cut, to rest just on my shoulders, much shorter than it was before. It was layered and had been chemically straightened. It had been dyed back to my original color, a light brown, with blonde highlights.

"Well? Do you like it?" I asked nervously.

"Baby, it looks great. I'm, wow," he smiled running his fingers through it.

"So then you do like it?"

"Of course. Angel, it looks great."

"Thanks. I wasn't sure if you'd like it or not. I thought I'd go with something different. I'm a mother now, I can't have that long colored hair. I mean how would I look walkin into his preschool to pick him up with purple, blue, black, red, and green hair?" I laughed as I flopped onto the couch.

"Well, sounds like you've had a busy day then," he sighed.

"Yeah, but I think you and I have some time to do one more thing," I winked at him. He gave me a sly grin and threw me over his shoulder as he ran up the stairs. He threw me on the bed, leaning over me. He kissed my cheek, my neck, and then my lips. He rolled off me and I rested my head on his chest, both of us falling asleep for the rest of our peaceful alone time.

***************

"Is Nero finally asleep?" Jeff asked as we met up with each other in the hall.

"Yeah, Amy's looking over him for me. Shane and I have to figure something else out. We can't bring him on the road like this. He's only 6 months old. I feel like a horrible mother for putting him through all this. And this is just my first nite back," I sighed as a chill ran down my spin. He laughed as he pulled me into his body and rubbed my bare arms. I wasn't exactly dressed for cold weather, in a pair of aqua UFO hipster pants and a cut up white wife-beater.

"Cold?"

"Just slightly. I think having a child really fucked with my body temperature," I laughed.

"Let's get out there," he shook his head as we walked towards the gorilla position.

'Resurrection........is for those...........who didn't get it right - the first time..........

Eternal salvation suffers from inflation!!

Sinner!'

Jeff and I bounced out onto the stage. We grinned at each other and then smirked at the crowd. We started down the ramp and pyro shot off with each step we took. The arena went dark and the music stopped.

'the lord is my weapon - i shall shoot pawns

womyn is a devil - (your) GOD IS A FRAUD

everyone u knew - everything u've ever done

suffer for your freedom - RISE & OVERCOME'

Suddenly pyro shot off out of the posts as we were seen standing in the middle of the ring.

'say whut u need to save your soul

but leave your religion at the door

we're smoking all of Krsna's weed

eye'm sick of these weak anarchies

u see me as a place to make a bruise

but in my reality eye'm a slave to the muse

fuck those hypocrites - together we'll fight

the tyranny of squares - SQUIGGLES UNITE'

I grabbed the microphone from Lilian and motioned for the music to be cut. The crowd was cheering for the time being, but I was about ready to turn on them all.

"I'm back!" I exclaimed for a pop. I started laughing and shook my head. "But unfortunately I had to come back on this nite, here, in San Diego." The crowd started to boo, unsure of what was happening. "Please, don't strain yourselves. Booing and cheering will only hurt your simple minds." I grinned. "Anyways, onto business as I've given you all nice warm butterflies." They started to chant, though quiet, I could hear pieces of bitch and slut. I continued, seeming un-phased. "I'm sick and tired of the crap that's been going on in this business while I was gone! Shane and the Nowhere Kids just died out, allowing Evolution to become the successful faction here! If I hadn't been taken out by Baby, I would have taken us all the way to the top! Shane, you're nothing but a coward. What happened to the man we all knew?! We had faith in you Shane. You turned your back on us when you let Triple H pin you at No Mercy! But thank God Stephanie is a worse leader than you! Allowing her old feelings for Triple H to get the best of her, destroying Evolution as well. The whole reason we put together the Nowhere Kids was so that the world would realize that there's more than just one type of person! That there's a whole other group. And that was all destroyed when the McMahon siblings get into their little tiff."

"Angel, you little bitch," Edge sneered as he walked out, Matt right behind him, both carrying their tag team belts. "You come back here and think you can run the place? You can't. You're nothing more than just a little crybaby."

"Edge, shut your hole," Jeff growled.

"Little brother, I would think it best for you to be the one to shut your hole as you so nicely have put it," Matt laughed. "You're just a whipped little boy. Angel has you wrapped around her little finger. She says jump, you say how the hell high? You've lost your touch Jeff."

"Oh that's bull Matt. I can't help it if Jeff happens to like me better than you. You've treated him like crap for too many years. I can't help it if he wanted a nicer touch," I winked.

"You really are a slut. Just yesterday I was hearing how you were with Batista all nite," Edge said.

"So?"

"So? You're playing my brother and all he can do is smile up at you with this goofy grin."

"Hey, we're not married. I can be with who I want, when I want, and more and importantly, HOW I want," I laughed.

"You think you're so good, don't you? You think you're just the best here," Edge shook his head.

"Yeah, actually, I am pretty fond of myself," I grinned.

"That's what I thought. Well, we're here to give you both a lesson and put you back in your place. On the lower pedestal of the business," Matt replied.

"Oh? And how are you going to do that? Slap us with rulers?" I said pretending to cower in the corner.

"No, you might like that too much," Edge smirked getting a crazy pop from the crowd. I crossed my arms and glared at the two. "A match. Not tonite, cause I know you're rusty from being out for a YEAR. But next week. In my home town, Toronto."

"You're on," Jeff growled. The tag team champions nodded at us and walked to the back. Jeff and I exited to chants of slut and asshole.

"Can you believe that this is my last title run?" Adam smiled as we met up with him and Matt in the hall.

"I don't want you to retire," I pouted.

"It's not like you'll never see me kiddo. I'm going to be a part of the creative team."

"I know, but it won't be the same," I said hugging him tightly before disappearing into the Diva's locker room. I walked right to Nero and held him in my arms. He yawned and smiled up at me. "I love you sweetie." I placed him in his travel play pen to play a bit while I took a shower. But I couldn't help feeling like I might be losing someone in my life.

**********************

"Shane, we can't keep bringing Nero with us like this! He's much too young!" I argued with Shane as we stood in the kitchen late one nite.

"That's why we give him to his grandparents or Gil!"

"And see him like twice a week?! God Shane! He'll forget who we are! We'll never see him grow up!"

"Well what do you want to do?! Quit the WWE?"

"No, yes, I don't know. But Shane, he needs to be on some sort of schedule and we do things so sporadically with him. He's going to get confused."

"I'm not quitting if that's what you're thinking!"

"Shane, that's not what I'm thinking!"

"So you'll quit? You'll quit a job you've been dying to get back to since you had to go off on pregnancy leave?"

"No, Jesus Shane! You're jumping to conclusions."

"Well now I'm getting confused Casey. Because I feel that you want one of us to quit. But you won't confess who it is that should be the one to lose their job!"

"GOD!" I screamed. "Fuck Shane! I'm not saying any of that! We need to work out some sort of schedule so that one of us is home more than 2 days a week!"

"You know that won't happen. You're one of the top Divas, hell, wrestlers, and I'm not too far under you, if I'm under you at all! We'll just have to deal with seeing Nero less or having him travel with us more!" Shane yelled as Nero started to cry. I shook my head at Shane and both took off for his room. I smiled at Nero and reached into his crib. My smile faded as I felt how warm he was. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know. He's warm, Shane. Very warm," I said handing Shane his son as he continued to cry, sounding more and more congested.

"Here, I'll call the doctor," he said handing Nero back to me.

"Shhh," I whispered as I sat in the rocker, holding him in my arms, and rocking back and forth. I started to sing a song that I knew was one of my favorites growing up, and I was amazed at how much of the song I really remembered. "So help me if you can. I've got to get back to the House at Pooh Corner by one. You'd be surprised there's so much to be done. Count all the bees in the hive. Chase all the clouds from the sky. Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh."

Shane walked in, the phone in his hand, and smiled at us as Nero started to calm down. I looked up, realizing the light from the hall was being blocked. "He, um, he said he should be fine. Just give him some baby aspirin. If he's still like this in the morning we should go in." I nodded and put Nero back in his crib.

"It's hard to explain how a few precious things. Seem to follow throughout all our lives. After all's said and done I was watching my son sleeping there with my bear by his side. So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going I swear that the old bear whispered "Boy welcome home"," Shane sang with me as we made sure Nero was falling back to sleep.

"So about that fight we were having," Shane said as we walked into the hall.

"Shane, just forget it," I sighed as I started walking towards our bedroom.

"Angel?" he called after me. I turned to him. "I love you."

"I love you too. But we have to figure something out, eventually," I said. I turned and walked into the bedroom, ready for bed.

"Casey, as long as you're happy and Nero's happy. I'll do whatever it takes for us to stay together," Shane said.

"Shane, we're always going to be together. We've made it through the first year of our marriage. We've made it through 6 months of having a baby. We can make it through ANY thing. And as long as I'm with you, I could never not be happy," I smiled at him as he wrapped me up in his arms.
