Summary: When Edge had a one night stand with one of his fans, he thought nothing of it and quickly forgot all about her, but when a child shows up three years later, he has to face the consequences of his actions.

Chapter One: The Kid

The lights of the hallway stadium flickered on and off as Edge sleepily walked towards his locker room. It had been a long day. He was more than ever pissed at Jericho, and still sore from the beating Batista gave him. Summerslam, he was going flatten both of those bastards.

He opened the men's locker room door and dumped his sports bag on the bench next to a sleeping figure. Probably one of the other wrestler's kid. The locker room looked empty though. Edge stared at the sleeping girl in front of him warily when he noticed a white envelope next to her addressed to himself. He picked up the envelope and tore it open, opening a crisp folded white paper.

Dear Edge,

Remember me? We had a one night stand five years ago. Well, face the consequences. I've had to take care of the brat for five long years. Now it's your turn.

Love,

Ailani.

P.S. You owe me child support money. Send me at least $2,000 to P.O. Box 555. New Hampton, Florida. It's not my address so you can forget about tracking me down.

Edge stared at the letter in shock, and then at the little figure. That little thing was his? He touched her softly on the shoulder of her baby pink dress, and she woke up, staring at him with wide brown eyes and clutching a raggedy brown bear to her chest. She smile softly at him and he smiled broadly back at her. Her eyes began to water with tears and she burst into a loud wail.

Edge cried out in surprise, and out of pure instinct, he picked her up. She looked at him shocked and stopped crying.

"Are you my daddy," she sniffled, "because mommy said my daddy would come get me and take care of me. Why doesn't she want me? Am I ugly?"

Edge stared at the girl in wonder. Ugly? She had to be the most adorable little girl he had ever seen. But how do you respond to that?

"Well," he replied hesitantly, "I think I'm your daddy. We'll go to the doctor tomorrow to check it out. But I don't think your ugly."

He set her down and she flashed him a hundred watt smile through her tears and Edge felt elated, although he wasn't sure why. He grabbed her small hand in his large one and started walking towards the lady's locker room. The divas would know what to do.

Edge stopped in front of the Diva locker room and raised his arm to knock on the other door, the other arm holding a very tired little girl. He knocked and heard no response. Maybe all of the divas left. But the door slowly crept open and he stood face to face with Molly Holly.

"Erm, Molly, are any of the other divas here?" he asked hesitantly. Edge had always got the feeling that Molly did not like him, although he wasn't sure why. They had never talked or anything.

So when Molly sneered at him he wasn't surprised. He was surprised, however, when her look softened and she grabbed the girl from his arms.

"Oh my God," she cooed, "she's so cute! What's her name?"

She looked up at Edge expectantly and got a blank stare and a shrug in response. She frowned and Edge looked down sheepishly. He had completely forgotten to ask her name.

"Kiki," the little girl replied evenly, and held out her arms towards Edge. He took her from Molly hesitatingly and looked at her with pleading eyes.

"I don't know what to do with kids. I got a letter saying she was mine and I'm heading to the doctor tomorrow to see if it's true."

Molly looked at him disapprovingly, but sighed in acceptance. "Lita's still here, I'll go get her." She nodded and Edge shifted uneasily under her gaze. "Why don't you two get to know each other better while I'm gone?" she ordered, and slammed the door in their face.

Edge set the Kiki down and crouched down beside her, memorizing her features. Wide brown eyes, shoulder length black hair, lightly tan skin. She was wearing a raggedy sleeveless pink dress with flowers, obviously been worn many times before. He could see himself in her eyes. She had his determined eyes. They would still get that blood test, but deep inside, Edge knew she was his.

He smiled softly and she smiled back at him. She reached out and hugged him, her hands barely coming halfway around him, and he hugged her back, enveloping her tiny body completely.

The door swung open, interrupting his thoughts, and a curious redhead diva looked down at him.

"Edge?" she pondered aloud, and noticed the little girl in his arms. Her eyes widened in shock and she beckoned him into the locker room. "No one's here except me and Molly. Come in."

Edge stepped into the locker room and the door closed with a slam behind him. He sat down on a bench and placed Kiki on his lap and Lita sat down across from him. Kiki fidgeted and Lita looked thoughtfully at the two, tapping her foot to the rhythm of music only she could hear. Edge stretched his arms and fought off a yawn, handing the letter to Lita, which she read. It would have been amusing to if it was anyone else to see Lita's expression go from curious to surprise to wonder in a matter of seconds, but to Edge the whole thing was taking too long.

"Do you think she's yours?" Lita asked, concerned as she gazed upon the little girl who had fallen asleep in Edge's arms. Edge nodded and Lita looked down at the floor and back up at him.

"There's really nothing I can do now. She's old enough to be potty trained so you don't have to worry about diapers and she can eat what you can eat. Make sure she feels safe and you'll be fine."

"Thanks Lita," Edge replied, and yawned loudly, "I think I'm gonna go back to the hotel now. Need a ride?"

Lita nodded gratefully, and Edge got up with Kiki in one hand and his bag in the other, and started walking towards the car.

Edge lay on his side on his bed, facing Kiki. She was asleep, and she looked like a little angel. She had already accepted him, but it would take a little more time for him to come to terms with the arrangement. Outwardly, he may have looked calm, but inside, he was freaking out. He softly touched her cheek, and her eyes fluttered awake. She rolled over to her side and stared back at him, his hand still cupping her cheek.

"Dad, why didn't you come get me before?"

Edge looked at her thoughtfully. "I didn't know you were there. Your mother left and then she had you."

Kiki nodded thoughtfully and pulled out a folded envelope from her pocket. "Mommy said to give this to my daddy, and I think you're my daddy, so here," she said, handing him the envelope.

He opened it and found a birth certificate for Kristen Kamea and a social security card. He rolled over and put it on his dressing room table, and rolled back, closing his eyes about to go to sleep. He opened his eyes in surprise when he felt something soft and looked down to see Kristen snuggle up against him. Edge smiled and closed his eyes to go back to sleep.
