Stacy colapsed back onto the hotel bed. She turned her head slightly to look at the alarm clock and groaned. She sat up and ran a hand through her long blonde hair. She smiled slightly as she looked at the small travel cot next to the bed. She stood up with a heartfelt sigh and walked through into the bathroom to get ready. She had four hours sleep altogether. Chloe wasn't sleeping full nights yet but it had been the best night so far. All Stacy wanted to do was curl up and go to sleep now that Chloe was sleeping, but she had promised to go into work and visit everyone. And a promise was a promise. She gently lifted Chloe out of her cot and placed her down on the bed smoothing out her little tuft of brown hair. She slowly changed her into a pink dress Amy had bought her. She was being as careful as possible desperate not to wake her up again. She didn't want everyone to see Chloe while she was in a bad mood and crying. She wanted to let everyone see that she could cope with being a single mother.
As soon as she entered the arena she was stopped by Dave Batista. Stacy eyed him warily, but relxed when he smiled down at her.
"Hey Stacy" he said warmly.
"Hi Dave" she said smiling back.
"So what's her name?" he asked
"Chloe" she replied
"So how are you coping?" he asked
"Ok i guess the nights are hell to be honest" she replied honestly, for some reason she didn't feel the need to lie to Dave and act like everything was perfect.
"So how's Randy coping, never really pictured him playing dad?" he asked
Stacy smiled" He's been great with her" she replied" I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but er why are you talking to me?"
"fair enough comment, we haven't really spoke before" he laughed" I've never had a problem with you Stacy, it's just when i'm with Hunter"
"So why are you guys still friends off screen if you don't like each other?" she asked
"It's not that i don't like him and Ric, we aren't best friends but i try and be on good terms with everyone" he replied" it makes work alot easier"
"I guess" she agreed.
"So you coming to the meeting?" he asked
"Sure" she replied walking down the hallway with him.
Stacy walked across the crowded room and sat down next to Amy. Amy hugged her and then started to fuss over Chloe. Stacy looked up to find Trish glaring at her. Stacy just looked away again ignoring her.
"You know what Stace, we should have a welcome back party for you" Trish said brightly"and maybe a gym membership"
Stacy just rolled her eyes and carried on talking to Amy.
"I mean look how fat you are!" Trish continued.
Stacy laughed as Randy pushed past her. Trish looked livid but she would never insult Randy, she liked him too much. He didn't think much of her of course but Trish was too slow to realise that.
Randy took Chloe from Amy and started talking to her.
"So hows daddy's little angel?" he asked
Stacy just laughed "Oh she's no angel, she had mommy up almost all of last night!"
"How about i take her tonight so you can sleep" he suggested.
"You know that i love you two spending time together, but i don't think i'd be able to sleep at all if she wasn't in the same room" Stacy told him" it's too soon"
"Well you do need some time out" he told her
"I know" she sighed" but there's nothing i can do about it"
"I can do somthing about it" he told her.
"What?" she asked
"How about you and me go out tonight, we can get someone to babysit" he replied
"Well..."she started
"We can go out to dinner, we'll only be gone an hour or two it's not like you'll be out all night" he continued
"Well ok then" she said with a smile.
"Great" Randy said turning back to Chloe and tickeling her.
"Randy i just fed her..."she started but it was too late. Chloe had thrown up all over Randy's new shirt.
Amy burst out laughing as Stacy took Chloe and pulled out a bib to clean her up.
