About two months later it was time for Vanessa's 28th birthday, and Batista was really excited since he had a special surprise for Vanessa. He was really looking forward to giving her this gift, and begin the next chapter in their lives. He was waiting for her to arrive at Raw with Megan, since it was summer break, Megan had been traveling with her. Dave smiled at thought of Vanessa and Megan becoming his family in addition to his other two daughters. He took of the ring box and admire the three carat heart shaped ring, grant he knew it was slightly smaller than the one Randy give her, but the only difference was that the heart was pink. He heard Megan's laughter and he quickly hid the ring as Megan came barreling into the room. "Dave!" Megan screamed and ran up to him.

"Hey Meggie!" said Dave as he scooped Megan up into his arms, "What are you up to?"

"Beating mommy in a race!" said Megan with pride as Vanessa finally entered the locker room lugging in two bags, "Hehe mommy. I beat you!"

"Yes you did sweetie," said Vanessa as she placed the bags on the floor, "considering I had more weight to carry." Megan just giggled as Dave put her down on the ground and he made his way to Vanessa. "Hey you."

"Hey," said Dave as he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her sweetly, "Happy Birthday."

"Thank you," said Vanessa as she kissed him again.

"Eww!" said Megan, "you guys kiss WAY too much!"

Vanessa laughed as she looked at her daughter, "Honey that is how people in love show affection to each other. Someday you will find a boy that you will like to kiss."

"No way! Boys are gross!" Megan then stuck her tongue out.

"Well I am a boy," said Dave, "you think I am gross?"

Megan had to think a minute before she said, "No Dave, I don't think you're gross." Dave then picked Megan up and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "You two still kiss WAY too much."

That caused both Dave and Vanessa to laugh and then there was a knock on the door, "Come in," said Vanessa and Vince McMahon entered the room, "Vince, what a nice surprise!"

"Hello Vanessa," said Vince as he kissed her cheek, "I heard that you arrived and I wanted to wish you a happy birthday."

"Oh well thank you," said Vanessa, "it looks like someone else wants to see you." Motioning to Megan who had a huge smile on her face.

"Grandpa Vince! Grandpa Vince!" said Megan.

"Hey there Megan!" said Vince as he made his way up to Dave and took Megan into his arms, then shook Dave's hand. He gave her a hug and smiled, "My word, how you've grown! Pretty soon you are going to be as big as Batista over here! Yet, you are as beautiful as your mother."

"Always the flatterer Vince," said Vanessa with a smile, "I can see why Linda has been married to you for all of these years." She started to think of Randy, but immediately shook it off, and looked at Dave with a smile. Dave extended his hand to her and she immediately went into his embrace. He wrapped his arms around her waist as she faced Vince.

"Yeah, I have been a lucky SOB," said Vince and then faced the lovely couple, "well, on to work. Vanessa, you don't have a match tonight, but Dave has got one against HHH for the title, which he is going to win."

Vanessa looked surprised when he said that, "Wow, I guess that makes sense since it's the Raw before the Smackdown PPV, plus it's a nice birthday present."

"Yeah, it's awesome," said Dave as he thought "but not as nice as what I am going to give you."

"Well," said Vince as he placed Megan back on the couch, "I really must be going. It was great seeing you Megan, happy birthday Vanessa, and talk to you guys later." With that Vince left the room to continue with his business.

Vanessa looked at Dave with a smile, "You are going to win the title tonight."

"Yeah, that is awesome," said Dave as he kissed her cheek, "I think is going to be full of surprises."

"Looks like it," said Vanessa as she slipped out of Dave's embrace, "listen, I have to go talk to Amy about something, do you mind watching Megan while I go do that?"

Dave smiled as he said, "Of course I will."

"Thank you," said Vanessa as she kissed his cheek again, "now Megan you be good for Dave with mommy goes and talks to Auntie Amy OK?"

"OK mommy," said Megan without looking up from her coloring that she was now doing as Vanessa kissed her cheek, then Vanessa left the dressing room.

"Hey Meggie?" asked Dave as he sat down next to Megan after Vanessa left, "Can I ask you something?"

Megan looked up at Dave from her coloring, "Sure."

"Well sweetie," said Dave as he pulled Megan into his lap, "you know that me and your mommy have been dating for the last few months right?"

"Yeah."

"And you know that I love your mommy very much right?"

"Yeah."

"What would you say if I asked your mommy to marry me?"

Megan's eyes went wide and she smiled, "You are going to ask mommy to marry you?"

"Only if you will let me."

"Would that mean you would be my new daddy?"

Dave smiled as he said, "Yes, I would be your new daddy. So does that mean I have your permission to ask your mom?"

"Of course Dave!" Megan squealed as she wrapped her arms around Dave's neck, "I am so happy that you are going to ask mommy to marry you!"

"Me too sweetie," said Dave, "me too, but we have got to keep it a secret from you mom OK? I am going to ask her after my match, so let's keep a surprise OK?"

"OK," said Megan as Vanessa came back into the dressing room, "hey mommy! Did you have a nice talk with Auntie Amy?"

"Yes I did," said Vanessa as she picked up her daughter with pride, "and she is going to watch you while I am out with Dave. You don't mind do you?"

Megan smiled with the secret that Dave told her, "Of course not mommy." Megan looked at Dave and give him a cute little wink, without Vanessa noticing. Dave smiled and winked back at Megan.

Just then there was a knock on the door, "Come in," said Dave and there was a camera man and Amy Dumas, who was also known as Lita, "hey guys come on it."

"Hey Dave and Vanessa," said Amy, "I am here to pick up Megan, since they are going to have you two do some promos before your match tonight Dave. So you ready to chill with your Aunt Lita, Meg?"

"Yep!" said Megan and she kissed Vanessa's cheek, "bye mommy. Bye Dave, good luck in your match." Lita then took Megan out of Vanessa's arms and placed her on her hip.

"Thanks Meggie," said Dave, then Amy and Megan left the room. Dave smiled as he stood up and went up to Vanessa, slowly wrapping his arms around her, "you ready?"

"You know it," said Vanessa as she noticed the camera light turning on and she heard the buzz of the fans cheering, "Dave, tonight is YOUR night. You have the chance to regain what is rightfully yours, the World Heavyweight Championship." The crowd went wild as Dave gave his confident smile. "Are you ready baby?

Dave looked down at Vanessa as he said, "You know I am baby, HHH thinks he can take my title from me? He thinks that he can lay his hands on you or your daughter? He is dead wrong, and tonight I am going to win it for your birthday. HHH is going to learn the hard way not to mess with me... or my woman." The crowd cheered like crazy as Dave had a determined look on his face and then the show started.

"Great job you guys," said the camera man, "see you two later." He waved and then made his way out the door leaving the happy couple alone.

"Well," said Vanessa as she rested her head on Dave's chest, "that was fun."

Dave laughed as he said, "They always are. By the way, Happy Birthday."

Vanessa smiled, "Thank you, I can not believe I am 28. I've been through a lot in the last seven years."

"Yes you have," said Dave, "and you have been amazing through all of it." He kissed her temple, "and that's why I love you."

Vanessa smiled, "I love you too Dave." She spun around in his embrace and kissed him with everything she had and more. In which he responded back, and pulled her tighter to him. Vanessa wrapped her arms around his neck as he deepened the kiss and caressed her back. A few minutes later when they broke apart in need of air, Vanessa smiled as she said, "speaking of birthday... what did you get me?"

Dave laughed as he said, "I thought I kissed you enough to forget."

Vanessa laughed as she said, "You funny. So what did you get me?"

"It's a surprise that you get later tonight."

"But-"

"No buts, trust me, you will like this surprise." He kissed her sweetly and smiled at her, "So, shall we get ready for my match?" Vanessa nodded and as they were getting ready, Dave took quick look at the engagement ring and smiled knowing that soon all his dreams were about to come true.

Dave's Match

"Come on Batista!" screamed Vanessa as she slapped her hands on the ring, "You can do it!" Triple H and Batista were exchanging punches, but then Batista got more momentum as he Irish-whipped Hunter to the ropes, and bent down but Hunter gave him the knee smash. "Oh no!"

"Oh!" said Jim Ross, "and the challenger is in trouble! Vanessa is looking really concern for her boyfriend Batista."

"Come on Dave! You can do it!" Triple H then kicked him in the stomach, and prepared Dave for the Pedigree. "Oh no! No!"

"Looks it over JR," said King, "and we HHH will retain his-" Out of no where Dave managed to get out and lifted Triple H over his head.

"Batista reversed it!" scream JR, "It's not over yet!"

"Yes!" screamed Vanessa, "Come on Dave! Get him!" Sure enough Dave kicked Hunter in the stomach, and got the powerbomb. "YES!" The ref gave the three count and the match was over.

"Oh and what a devastating powerbomb for the three count. He did it! He did it! We have a NEW World Heavyweight Champion!"

"You winner and the NEW World Heavyweight Champion... BATISTA!" said Lillian Garcia as Vanessa slid into the ring and the ref gave Batista the belt.

Batista smiled as he pulled Vanessa into his arms and spun her around in a big circle. He then kissed her sweetly and then grabbed a microphone from Lillian. "Oh man! It is great that I have won this title! But if it wasn't for this woman by my side, I would not be your World heavyweight Champion. Vanessa, you are my inspiration for everything. I love you will all of my heart and soul. I love Megan like she was my own daughter, and I want her to be my daughter for real. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Megan and any other children we will have. So Vanessa Claire Orton," suddenly Dave got on one knee and took out the ring box, "will you marry me?" The crowd was shocked but cheer like crazy for Vanessa to say yes."

"Can you believe it King? Batista is asking Vanessa for her hand in marriage."

"Isn't this the second time Vanessa had been proposed to on Raw?"

"Yes it is, what's your point?"

"I was just asking! I wonder was is going through Vanessa's mind right now."

Vanessa was in complete shock, Dave was PROPOSING to her on Raw, she could not believe it. He wanted to be a family with her and Megan, and he loved her so much. She looked at the engagement ring, and saw the pink heart. She could not believe that he was giving her a pink diamond, and she was glad since it was different than the one Randy gave her. Suddenly she thought about Randy and remembered when he proposed...

FLASHBACK

Randy smiled as he held her left hand and continued to talk, "She is the reason why I did not give up for the title, and she is my reason for living." The crowd cheered and Vanessa smiled sweetly, "From the moment I met her, I was head over heels in love with her. She is the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing before I fall asleep. When we are apart, I feel like I am missing a part of myself, and I can not imagine my life without her." Randy looked at Vanessa and smiled as he said, "You are my angel sent from the heaven to love me. I love you with every fiber of my being, you are my heart, my soul, my everything and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Vanessa Claire Eaton," he then got down on one knee and took out the ring box. The crowd was going nuts and Vanessa was crying. When he opened the ring box,

Vanessa opened her eyes wide with shock as she could not believe how big the diamond was. "Will you make me the happiest man in the world… will you marry me?" The fans were cheering for her to say yes to him.

Vanessa was shocked that he was proposing in front of millions of people, plus he was PROPOSING to her… they had only started talking about marriage and they had only been dating since November. When she looked into his eyes, she saw their future in his beautiful blue eyes and she also saw the true and deep love inside them She knew that he truly did love her, and she could not spend the rest of her live with him. She smiled as she said, "Yes."

Randy looked at her as he said, "Yes?"

"Yes, Randy Keith Orton," said Vanessa, "I will marry you." Randy smiled as he slipped the ring on her finger, and then he scooped her up in his arms then spun her around in a circle. The crowd was cheering, and some fans were crying, some of joy and others were because they knew that they did not have a chance now to become Mrs. Randy Keith Orton.

END FLASHBACK

Vanessa shook mentally shook the memory away, that was years ago and Randy left her. She had Megan to think about, and herself. She then looked at Dave and saw all the love in his eyes, and there future. She loved Dave Bautista with all of her heart, and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. "Yes Dave I will marry you!" The crowd went wild with excitement.

"Oh thank God!" said Dave as he slipped the ring on her finger, and pulled her into his arms. He kissed her with everything that was in him, and she happily kissed back. He then scooped her up into his arms, grabbed his title and brought her to the back where they were greeted by everyone to congratulate them.

Later than night, Dave and Vanessa were driving back to Vanessa's house, with Megan asleep in the backseat. Dave took Vanessa's hand into his as he said, "I can not believe that we are getting married."

"I know," said Vanessa, "I can not wait."

"Me neither," said Dave, "I love you."

"I love you too," they shared a sweet kiss and she rested her head on his shoulder. As Dave drove, Vanessa smiled as she was looking forward to becoming Dave's wife and spending the rest of her life with him and Megan.
