A knock at the door slowly woke Dave, who consequentially woke Lana. He smiled at her as she glowed in the early morning sunlight before getting up and heading to the door. "Hold on…" he called out as the knock continued unnecessarily. By the time he reached the door, Dave threw on the shirt he had shed last night. He opened it and stood toe to toe with none other then Chris Jericho.

"I just wanna talk to Alana." Chris slowly pressed his way into the suite and headed to Alana who was oblivious to his arrival. Dave stayed less than two feet behind him every step of the way and was there to see Lana's expression when she turned in the kitchen to see Jericho rather than Batista. "I-" Chris threw up his hands. "I'm just here to talk to you. Think you can call off your security?"

Dave gritted his teeth and looked to Lana to see whether or not she was comfortable being alone with her future ex-husband. She nodded and sat at the end of the table furthest from him. "Okay…what is there that we need to talk about?"

Chris pulled the divorce papers out of his back pocket. "Are you serious about this?" Lana nodded but refused to speak or make eye contact. "This is what you really want? After two years and a child, you're ready to divorce over a little fight?"

"A little fight? You beat me for a year… You put your hands on me numerous times in front of my child; you basically made me a prisoner in my own home- that is not a little fight… You're looking I'm not putting you in jail."

Chris hung his head, "Since we're getting divorced, I want to talk about MayAnne… where is she?" Jericho leaned back in the chair to peer down the hall, in hopes of spotting a sign of his daughter.

Lana slouched in her chair, feeling slightly anxious, "She's with Linda McMahon for three weeks. You can see her when she starts traveling with me…"

Jericho still had the audacity to laugh, "She's not traveling with you. You need to be at hoe with her…somewhere stable."

Without looking up, Lana responded. "You can't tell me what to do with my child…"

"You're child? She's just as much mine…"

Lana continued to look down, "When's her birthday, Chris?"

After brief hesitation Chris cleared his throat and answered. "In…May. It doesn't matter…all I know is that as the birth father," Lana looked up and stared her ex in the eye, but still said nothing. Chris was confused by the look, but stammered through the rest of his sentence as he got up and back peddled out of the room, "I have the right to see her, and since we both now I'm the more fit parent, it won't be hard getting her…"

"You need a DNA test first buddy, have fun with that…" Dave stood up from the couch and relapsed into his days as a DC bouncer, giving a dangerous smile.

Chris squinted and left the room, still unsure of what had just happened. Dave slowly got up, having just reached the realization. He peeked in the room where Lana sat, still hanging her head.

"So you knew…" She looked up with a defeated look about her.

Dave smiled a little, "I had hoped…you know when I found out, but I just now 'got it'. It's gonna be okay. We can make this work." Dave intertwined his fingers with Lana's as she let a weak smiled consume her.

"How long 'til you think he gets it?" Lana chuckled slightly as she say the proverbial light bulb light over Chris' head.

"I'm not sure, but I'm sure it won't break his heart...only his pride."

Lana and Dave got ready for their day and continued to talk about MayAnne, Chris and the early morning ordeal. Lana was putting the finishing touches of make-up on when Dave asked, "Babe, who else knows?"

Lana sighed, "Um…Stephanie and Linda know…but I think that's it." At that very moment, Alana's cell went off in her pocket. "Speak of the devil…"

"Hey...if you're three rooms away…what's the point in calling?" Lana laughed, putting earlier behind her.

"I was just letting you know Jericho was over here… Paul and Ric evil-eyed him and Randy backed him out of the room." Stephanie laughed as she retold the happenings.

"Why is everyone over there?"

"Oh… I figured after you and Dave's first night back together you deserved to sleep in, but it's a group meeting for Evolution. You guys coming?"

Lana laughed at the possible innuendo, but kept in to herself. "Yeah, we'll be over."

Dave and Lana walked into Stephanie and Paul's room and joined the informal Evolution 'team meeting'. From about ten-thirty that morning until little after noon, the five members of Evolution talked about perspective and ongoing storylines, possible and inevitable title shots as well as questions, concerns and general comments. As lunchtime neared, they had agreed on their plans for their next televised show in six days as well as what they had to do in the house shows before the super show to prepare for next Monday night.

The meeting concluded conveniently at the beginning of the college football team. Seeing it as an opportunity to 'escape', the women decided to go on a walk and promised to return at half-time.

Note from Author:

I have horrible news…I've hit a road bump! This is one of the first Fictions I've posted and I'm really worried about how it's going. I have about 1K words set away, but after that I'm afraid the well is running dry. Please give me ideas and perspective events; you will be given creative credit! Oh, and to answer some questions from last chapter…

1. Lana is African American, but we like to be called brown…. (Inside thing)

2. Yes, Jericho will be more involved in the story, but I think Dave and Lana need some time to 'grow'.

Thanks for the reviews! I only need one to update this time!
