Chapter 5
During a vacation to Pheonix, Arizona, a vacation Batista and a pregnant Christy desperately needed, the former world champion founded that needed some time to himself. Coming to a hotel, Batista quickly drove off to a cemetery. To give some words to an old friend.
"Hey, Eddie." Batista knelt down in front of Eddie's tombstone. "Long time, no see, huh?" He smiled a little, more at the times they shared than anything else. "Man, you won't believe the things that I've happened…I married Christy. I guess you were right…We would wind up together."
He sighed, wiping a tear he felt coming down his face. "Sorry, man. But I know you were smiling down at us that day. And you'll probably be even happier when I tell you the baby's going to be a girl. Maybe she'll get into the wrestling business, but only time can tell. Gosh, Eddie, you always were something…" He sniffled softly. "You were the best. You lied, cheated, and stole…And everyone loved you for it. And I'm sure you loved us just as much."
With that, he stood up. "Rest in piece, friend." He finished, before leaving a white rose in front of the tombstone, and then slowly walking away, feeling a great weight lifted off of his shoulders.
5 Years Later…
"Mommy, Daddy, I'm ready to go to school." chirped Batista's and Christy's five year old daughter, Deirdre Stacy Bautista.
Batista smiled at his daughter from the kitchen table. "That's great, kiddo." He answered, kissing her on the forehead. Christy went over to her daughter as well, and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"You have fun, okay?" Christy asked.
"I'll try. But school being fun is a no-no." Deirdre said with a shake of her head. Both her parents chuckled as she made her way outside to the bus stop.
"So…no regrets, Dave?" Christy asked softly.
Batista paused, and then a small smile spread along his face. "No. None at all." He answered quietly.
