Chapter 3

Eventually Bella started talking about her favorite toys, Barbie's. "My favorite Barbie is the one Grandpa got me for Christmas. She has a pink dress and is REALLY pretty. I think she looks like Mommy, but Mommy doesn't think so."

I shook my head no and Dave laughed, "I bet you played with Barbie's when you were younger didn't you Rora?" I laughed, "Of course I did. I even kept some of them and gave them to Bella when she was old enough to play with them."

Bella nodded, "Yep. And she gave me her wrestling guys too. She told me she used to have the wrestlers marry her Barbie's." Bella giggled, "But the Barbie's are bigger then the wresters so I think Mommy was silly."

I nodded, "Yep. Mommy sure was silly." Dave smiled and squeezed my hand. "You don't happen to have a Batista action figure, do you Belle?" Bella giggled, "Nope. I only have Mommy's old ones and some of Grandpa, Uncle Shawn and Uncle Paul."

I smiled, "Yep, and they're the ones who gave those to you, aren't they?" Bella nodded. "So if I gave you a Batista figure would you play with it?" Bella thought about it for a minute, "Yep! I could have you wrestle Hulk Hogan, and you could win!" I smiled, "WOW! I bet Hogan would just Love to hear that."

Dave smiled, "Well here we are ladies, Evolution's locker room." Bella smiled and banged on the door continuously. Randy opened the door, "Who's making such a ruckus… why if it isn't Miss Aribella. What are you up to Ari?"

Aribella laughed, "Nothing. Where's Grandpa?" Randy chuckled, "No love for Randy tonight?" Bella thought about it, "Nope." Then she giggled, "HUG!" And Randy and Bella hugged. Then she went inside in search of her Grandpa.

Aribella got a chance to play with Randy and Dave later that night while they were watching her. Dad and I wanted to have some alone time together. Dave smiled, "So Bells, how old are you again?" Aribella giggled, "You're silly Dave. I'm 5 years old." Dave smiled, "I'm silly huh?" And he made a funny face at Aribella. She giggled again, "Yes. You're SILLY!"

Dave smiled, "Okay. Just don't tell anyone. I'm supposed to be mean." Aribella giggled and nodded, "You're sposed to roar be the Animal." She giggled again, "You look silly when you roar." Randy laughed, "Finally! Someone agrees with me." Dave raised an eyebrow, "So Bells… do Randy do anything silly?"

Aribella thought about it, "Yep. He raises his arms funny on his way to the ring. But you flex funny too… so you BOTH do silly things." Randy smiled, "Yeah… but which is worse?" Bella shrugged, "I dunno. 'Pends on who you talk to. But Mommy and I think BOTH of you are silly." Dave and Randy looked at each other. "Mommy thinks so too?" Bella nodded, "Yep!"

Dave smiled at the young girl. "What do you say we go find this pretty little princess some action figures to wrestle with?" Randy nodded, "Sounds like a good idea to me. Lets go Bella." Bella smiled, "Yippie! More wrestlers!" And the three of them headed out of the room to find some more wrestlers for Bella to play with.

I was sitting next to my Dad with my head on his shoulder. "How's Bella been doing?" I smiled, "She's doing pretty good, misses her Grandpa though." Dad smiled, "Well of course she does. Wooo. I'm Ric Flair." I laughed, "Yea. She's so happy when she sees you on tv. Even when you're being a jerk."

Ric smiled and kissed Aurora's cheek. "I remember when you were little Rory. You used to get so mad when I was a heel." I nodded, "Yep. It made me mad to see my Daddy, who I thought was the best person in the whole world, acting all mean and stuff on tv." Dad smiled at me.

I sighed, "Speaking of Dad's… Bella's been asking about hers again." Dad squeezed my hand, "You'll have to tell her about it eventually hun." I sighed, "I know. But it gonna be so hard. I just wish that drunk driver wouldn't have hit Logan, it would have made life so much easier." Dad hugged me, "This is the way everything was supposed to pan out. Everything happens for a reason Rory, you know that."

A tear ran down my cheek. "It's been almost 6 years now Dad, and it's still just as hard as it was back then." Dad shook his head, "No it's not. You know it was much worse back then." I sighed, "You're right. I'm just happy that I had a chance to tell him he was going to be a father, Logan was so happy."

Dad continued to hug and comfort me. I sighed again, "Okay. I'll be alright now." Dad smiled softly and kissed my cheek. "Logan was so happy those two weeks before the accident. Always remember that." I smiled softly, "That's the only think that keeps me sane at times, Dad." Dad got up, "Let's go find Bella. I want to spend time with my beautiful Granddaughter." I smiled and we headed out to find her.
