I just had a few quick things to say...For those of you who have been giving me little ideas THANX I love em and appreciate the support...but to those who have been giving me writing tips...please don't...I've been writing since I was 15 and I'm nearly 28 now...I'm not going to change my writing style...Everything is grammatically correct and sounds the way I like it. I don't want to sound mean or anything...but once you've been writing for 13 years, it's hard to change the way you write. Every story is in the same format and the same grammar. I'm not perfect when it comes to this...But I'm not an amateur either. I have been told that Italics is hard to read...dually noted and will be changed. If I missed details on the descriptions of the wrestlers I don't mind if you let me know, cause I miss things also. Thanx for the support...Love you guys! Maxine

Chapter 24

David watched as Rachel had been flipping through a bridal book, they had planned on getting married in 1 month on what other day? The day of love Valentine's Day. On their down time, they were trying to get all the wedding nonsense out of the way...The only thing Rachel was doing while on the road for house shows and Monday Night Raw was looking for a dress...

Rachel and Kitty had hit every bridal shop on the East Coast from Maine to Florida, and then New York to Chicago...the following week they'd hit up the West Coast and get all the information they needed. Rachel had since moved in with David in his Washington DC house...it was beautiful and gorgeous and he said for her to decorate it any way she wanted...She declined and said, she loved it just the way it was.

The house was a spacious 2 story brick home in the country with a huge in-ground 9 foot deep pool, and a 5 car garage. It had 1 Master bedroom and Bathroom, 3 bedrooms, 2 separate bathrooms one up stairs and one down stairs, 1 gigantic den, a semi large living room, a huge kitchen with all stainless steel appliances, which Rachel would thank David later for considering they were easy to clean, and a nice dinning room for family...

Family? Rachel hadn't discussed it with David, so she wasn't sure if he even wanted to have kids...She probably should of thought about asking him that one. They were 10 year apart in age, she was 26 and he was 36...would he want kids? Rachel kept flipping through the bridal magazine...They'd been engaged for 4 months now...And were about as happy as a pearl in a clam...Rachel couldn't almost wait to be married to David...there were a few times, she was close to just begging him to run away to Vegas and get the damn job done.

Rachel still had one detail she needed to discuss with Paul about the wedding...She tossed the magazine over on the table and said, "Paul...Can I talk with you for a minute?" David smiled...he knew what she was going to say. Paul said, "Sure kiddo...what's on your mind?" He slid forward in the chair that had his body encased in it...

Rachel moved around and sat on her knees next to him and leaned on his knee. She said, "I know this is a really big question to ask you...but I don't really know who else to ask." Paul said, "You can ask me anything we've been friends forever...You know I'll answer as honest as I can." Rachel nodded she could already feel the tears building in her eyes.

Rachel took a deep breath and said, "My dad died a year after I was married to Brian, and When I divorced him, my mother basically disowned me, because she thought I was ruining my life by not staying with him...she never realized how much he screwed around on me...and I was tired of trying to explain it...You are the closet friend that I have, that is a brother to me...I was wondering if you wouldn't mind, giving me away at mine and David's wedding?"

Paul got misty eyed, his best friend was basically asking him to stand up as her family at her wedding...Paul looked down and saw the tears rolling down Rachel's cheek and said as he wiped the tears from her cheeks he said, "Yes." Rachel said, "Really? Because if you think it's too much responsibility, you don't have to...You were the first person I met when I started working for WWE and you've been my best friend ever since...and I just can't imagine anyone else doing it."

Paul tapped on the arm of the chair and said, "I'm tapping out right now...because if you make me cry, I'll have a hell of a time getting into asshole mode in about 10 minutes for our ring promo...I'd be honored Rachel...I really would...I saw what you went through with dickhead and I know David is a good man...he can take care of you're heart and I have every confidence in him, he'll be the husband you've always needed." Rachel jumped up and hugged Paul.

A few days later, David and Rachel were walking around a sidewalk in the heart of DC, hand in hand as they were window shopping and trying to find the perfect flowers for Rachel's bouquet. Rachel suddenly stopped in her tracks when she came face to face with Brian, her ex-husband.

David squeezed her hand as he looked over and saw a man walking down the same sidewalk towards them with a very pregnant woman...David said, "Rach, you ok?" Brian said, "Hi Rachel...God you look amazing." Rachel put on a fake smiled as she said, "Brian, it's nice to see you again...This is my fiancé David Bautista...Dave this is my ex-husband Brian and I'm assuming his wife Shannon." The bubbly blonde smiled and nodded. The two men shook hands and the couples parted ways.

Rachel leaned against David and said, "That was really awkward." David said, "Tell me about it...What you ever saw in that creep he is so puny." Rachel busted out laughing and said, "I'm making up for it this time, by marrying a man who's built like a brick house." David said, "Hell yea baby...All man." Rachel laughed again as they continued with their day.
