About Two Weeks Later

Lana and Stephanie pull into the driveway at the McMahon New Mexico summer home.

"Mommy!" Both David and MayAnne run out in the front Lawn and tackled their mothers. The toddlers pulled their parents into the house and immediately began to tell tales of their time apart.

MayAnne bought her mom a folder with pictures she had drawn in it. "This one is for you," she handed her mother the picture of a flower, "and this one is for daddy!" Lana looked up and made eye contact with the other women in the room. Unanimously, they decided not to tell the little girl anything just yet. Stephanie and Lana listened to the kids' detailed description of a day in the life for about ten minutes before the toddlers were drained. MayAnne, David and baby Xavier all settled in for an episode of Barney as the three grown women convened in the kitchen for tea.

"Well Ms. Turner," she smiled affectionately at Lana, "I am very proud of you. I'm glad to see a champion with a little dignity." Linda was referring to the title change that occurred last week and then changed the subject to Lana's parenting. "And MayAnne, she was a complete joy! You know, she very bright for being such a little girl."

"Yeah, she's a smart cookie; I just hope she understands….all of this dad stuff." Lana ran her fingers through her hair. "I don't even know how I'm going to begin to tell her…"

All three women brainstormed and Stephanie was first volunteer her ideas. "Why don't you just sit her down, and tell her 'Davey's you're Daddy now'?"

Linda nodded, but threw in her own two cents. "I think you, MayAnne, Dave and…. Chris need to sit down and discuss everything. Tell her that Chris isn't her Daddy and 'Davey' is. If she asks why-"

"Tell her mommy is a huge whorebag who didn't have the guts to tell the truth…" Lana hung her head and though for a while. "I think I'll just wait until she asks me about the situation. When the time comes, me and...I guess the fathers, will sit down and explain the whole thing to her…" Lana felt as though she had bought herself some time. She sat back in her chair and waited for the topic to change, but the 'adult' conversation was put on hold when little David came running in the room.

"Auntie Lana! MayAnne is crying!" He extended his little hand and drug Alana to the coat closet.

Lana opened the door to the closet and sat next to her baby. "MayAnne, are you gonna tell momma what's wrong?"

The toddler crawled in her mother's lap, but remained silent. Lana's maternal instincts kicked in a she began to rock her little girl. "Does it have to do with Mommy?"

MayAnne shook her head.

"Does it have to do with Daddy?"

MayAnne nodded and stopped crying, "I miss Daddy."

After sighing and forcing happiness in her voice, Lana began to reason with the little girl. "Okay, do you want to see Daddy?" Again the little girl nodded. "Alright, you get to come with Mommy and Auntie Steph tonight to the stadium. Suudenly, MayAnne perked up and jumped out of the closet.

"Do I get too see Kurt Angel!" MayAnne jumped up in down.

"Yep!" Lana suppressed laughter as her daughter continued to butch her co-worker's names.

"So I get to see Bictoira?"

"Yeah, you see her too."

"Will Uncle Randy be there?" Lana stopped spinning and looked at her mom.

"Yes…. The Legend Killer will be there."

MayAnne ran up to her mom and hugged both of her legs. "Will Davey be there?"

"Yes Ma'am…he most definitely will!" Lana picked up her daughter and took her to the main room.
