Disclaimer: I don't own any characters you recognize. As much as I would love to own Dave Batista and Randy Orton, unfortunately WWE owns them along with Stacy Kiebler. Don't know names or anything about any real members of Stacy Kiebler's family or Dave's daughter's real names so I am making them all up. I was gonna try to get to chapter 5 today but I'm not feeling to well right now so I'll do them later tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for reading! Thank you to Batistas babe and Latisha C for reviewing.
Chapter 3Michelle directed Dave where to go. She looked behind her and noticed Stacy and Randy were following them. Dave could tell she was nervous. He took her left hand in his right and kissed it. Then he held it as he drove. He tried not to fall for her this quickly, but he couldn't fight it. When he kissed her he felt feelings that he hadn't felt since he met Angie many years ago.
"It's gonna be ok Michelle. We can do this."
"I know. I'm just nervous. That and excited. I missed my children. I can't wait for you to meet them."
Dave nodded and soon they all pulled up in the driveway. Dave noticed a small yet spacious house.
"Well here we go."
Just as Michelle was about to open her door, he stopped her. He got out first and came around to her side. He noticed Randy did the same for Stacy. He looked at Michelle through the window and held up a finger letting her know to wait just a minute. He walked over to Randy and Stacy and told them to go ahead up to the house. Stacy nodded knowing her sister had to be flipping out.
Michelle saw her sister and Randy heading up to the door and then saw Dave come back to her side of her Expedition. He opened the door and helped her out. He wrapped his arms around her as she stepped out of the vehicle. She remembered him telling her to go along with whatever he did. She found this very easy despite the fact she had never had a man treat her like he did. She found herself wishing this was all real. Dave then surprised her by leaning down and kissing her again. This time it was the same as before, but lasted a little longer this time. She wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head against his chest as he ended the kiss.
"Remember we can do this. Now let's go inside."
Michelle nodded and walked up to the house she grew up in holding his hand. She saw her mom sitting on the front steps holding Christopher. She then noticed her daughter Gabriella sitting next to her. She pulled herself away from Dave and knelt down. She looked at her daughter waiting for her to look at her. Soon her daughter looked up at her and took off running to her.
"Mommy!"
Dave watched as the little girl who looked a lot like Michelle came running over to them. He watched as Michelle pulled her daughter into her arms. He couldn't wait to see his daughters now. They were going to his parent's house to pick them up later.
"Hey honey. Mommy missed you and CJ so much."
"Missed you too Mommy."
Michelle stood up picking her daughter up with her. She then noticed as her daughter's eyes widened as she looked at Dave.
"Honey this is mommy's boyfriend Dave. Dave this is my daughter Gabriella."
"Hi Gabriella. Oh Michelle she's beautiful."
Michelle smiled and then found her smile growing wider as she watched her daughter looking at Dave. What happened next totally took her by surprise. Gabriella held her arms out to Dave to hold her.
"Can I?"
Michelle nodded in shock. Gabriella had never taken to someone like that. She felt tears welling up in her eyes as she watched her daughter with Dave.
"On TV with mommy."
"Yeah. Your mommy comes out to the ring with me now."
Michelle put one arm around Dave's back and the other around him and her daughter.
"Come on honey. Two more people for you to meet."
As they walked up to the front of the house they got there just in time to hear Stacy introducing Randy.
"Mom, Dad, this is Randy. Randy this is my mother Jennifer and my father William. That little cutie there is Michelle's son Christopher."
Then Stacy pulled Randy over to where Michelle and Dave stood.
"And this little cutie is my niece Gabriella. Gabby this is my boyfriend Randy. Can you say hi?"
"Hi Gabriella."
Michelle looked at her daughter when she realized she hadn't said hi to Randy. She started laughing as she noticed her daughter hiding her face in Dave's shoulder.
"Gabriella Rayne Kiebler…he's not gonna hurt you. Say hi."
"He friend mommy?"
"Yes he's a friend of mommy's and Dave's."
"Otay. Hi Randy."
Randy smiled at the younger girl and shook her little outstretched hand. Michelle pulled herself away from Dave and went over to her parents. She carefully picked up her son from her mother's arms and walked back over to where Dave stood holding Gabriella.
"Dave this is my son Christopher."
Dave looked down at the baby in her arms and smiled. He had this weird feeling overcome him. It was almost like they were a family standing there. He was holding Gabriella in one arm while his other was around Michelle who was holding Christopher. He kissed Michelle's forehead and together they walked over to her parents.
"Mom, Dad…this is my boyfriend Dave Bautista. Dave these are my parents William and Jennifer."
Dave shook each of their hands and smiled at them.
"Nice to meet you."
"You too. Are you all staying for dinner?"
Michelle looked at Stacy to speak up.
"Actually mom…Randy and I are going to stay for dinner. But Missy and Dave are only staying for a little while."
Jennifer nodded and led them all inside into the living room. Randy and Stacy sat on one couch, Michelle and Dave sat on another with the kids, and Stacy and Michelle's parents sat on the loveseat. Just as Michelle was about to speak up, Gabriella pulled on her arm.
"Yes sweetie?"
"Can I go watch Blue's Clue's?"
"Sure. Come with me while I put down your brother."
Gabriella kissed Dave's cheek before climbing off of his lap. Michelle looked back at Dave and smiled.
"I'll be right back. I'm gonna set her up in her playroom and then put him down for a nap."
"Ok baby."
Michelle helped her daughter upstairs and into the playroom. When she stepped into the room she remembered it used to be Stacy's old room.
"Ok honey. Here you go."
"Thanks Mommy."
"Honey can Mommy ask you a question?"
"Yes."
"What do you think of Dave?"
"I like Dave Mommy. Dave nice."
"Ok honey. You stay in here until Mommy and Dave come and get you ok? I don't want you trying to come downstairs by yourself ok? I'll be checking up on you. Yell for me if you decide you wanna come downstairs though ok?"
"Otay mommy."
Gabriella then kissed her mother's cheek and sat on the floor watching one of her favorite cartoons. Michelle then stopped in her old room which had nursery stuff in it along with a queen size bed. She kissed her sleeping son's forehead and gently laid him in his crib. She slowly and softly ran her fingertips over her sleeping son. Before she could turn away from the crib she felt Dave wrap his arms around her body. She leaned up against him and sighed.
"Tired?"
"More like overwhelmed."
"We can pick the girls up tomorrow if you'd like."
"No I know you wanna see them. Stacy already agreed to watch Gabby and CJ while we went to Arlington."
At that moment Dave felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He walked out into the hallway to take the call. He groaned when he noticed the caller id said Angie.
"Hello?"
"Hi Dave. Look I know you were going to your parent's house to pick up the girls but you don't need to. Just come to the house to pick them up."
"Why aren't they at my parent's?"
"I wanted to introduce them to my boyfriend to see what they thought of him. I mean we have been together for a few months. I figured it was time."
"Dammit Angela. I told you I was bringing Michelle with me. Do you have any idea how awkward this is going to be?"
"For her or you David?"
"For her."
"Whatever. That isn't my problem. Just let me know when you're almost here."
Dave hung up his phone, leaned his left shoulder against the wall, and sighed in anger. He soon felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist. He placed his large hands over Michelle's small ones. He felt her place her cheek against his back softly.
"You ok?"
"Nope."
He pulled Michelle around to where she was standing in his arms in front of him. He looked at her and sighed. There was no way he could ask her to do this.
"I'm going to get the girls on my own. I'll meet you back at your place ok?"
Michelle slowly nodded. Soon she heard him saying goodbye to her parents letting them know something came up and then she heard the door closing. She then ran downstairs after him knowing he didn't want to go alone. She ran outside and jumped in front of him not letting him take one step further without moving her.
"David Bautista…you tell me what the fuck that was and you tell me now."
Dave looked at her and sighed softly.
"Angie took the girls from my parent's knowing that I was bringing you with me. Apparently she decided that now was the perfect time to introduce them to her new boyfriend. So now I've got to go get them from her house."
"And you don't want me going with you?"
"Michelle it isn't that. I just don't want to put you in an awkward position."
She placed her hand on Dave's cheek and pulled him down closer to her level.
"Listen the whole point of this was to get out families off of our backs by making them think we were dating. Now she thinks you're bringing me with you. If you go and I'm not there…that's letting her know she got to you. I'm guessing she did this just to piss you off right?"
"Yeah and it worked."
"In the beginning. Don't let her know you're still mad."
Michelle paused, wrapped her arms around his waist, and looked up into his eyes. She smiled at him and stood up on her tiptoes and kissed his chin.
"Dave I think we should continue with the plan. We can go get the girls, go to your parent's house for awhile, and then come back to my apartment."
"Is there enough room at your apartment for all of us?"
"Well my apartment is a three bed two bath. We'll sleep in my room. Christopher will be in the nursery. Gabriella has bunk beds in her room. So the girls can all sleep in there."
"That's presuming they all get along."
"You're being a pessimistic ass right now."
Dave chuckled and leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"I'm sorry. It's just I'm worried. I'm nervous."
"We can do this. We'll be fine."
Dave nodded. Michelle noticed he was looking at her weirdly.
"What?"
"I just had this sudden urge to kiss you all of a sudden."
Michelle couldn't help but be shocked. Then her shock turned into happiness. Dave watched the emotions flowing over her face and his smile grew as hers appeared.
"Well we are supposed to be dating. Last time I checked oh quite a few years ago…that's what couples did."
Dave nodded as he leaned down closing the gap between them. He found it a little uncomfortable bending over like that, so he picked Michelle up to his level. As he did Michelle wrapped her arms around his neck and played with the little hairs on the back of his neck. She slowly pulled away having the feeling of being watched. When she did she noticed Randy and Stacy standing behind Dave.
"Normally when you spy on people you do it from afar. Not right behind them."
Dave turned around and smiled as he set Michelle back down on the ground. He pulled her in front of him and wrapped his arms around her. Michelle watched the surprise on her sister and Randy's faces.
"So Randy and I came out here to see if you two were really together now…or if yall are just really good actors."
"Yeah cause if you aren't together than what you two just did deserves and award."
Michelle looked up at Dave questioning him. Dave looked at her, smiled, and then leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"If you want me…I'm yours."
Michelle then turned around to face her sister and Randy.
"Yeah we're together. No more fake couple. Stacy can you still watch the girls?"
"Yeah. You two are still going to Arlington?"
"Yes and no. We're going to DC to get the girls and then to Arlington. Then we're coming back to the apartment."
Randy and Stacy looked at Dave. They knew what stopping in DC meant. Dave just looked at them and weakly smiled.
"Guys…it's fine. Normally in this position a woman would feel awkward. But I'm not exactly normal…so…it's ok."
Dave felt that he'd fallen even more for her knowing all this. Knowing that she was braving this with him made him feel all the better.
