Recap:
The days, weeks and months passed with little drama for Lana. She had battled to retain her title and control over her life. The divorce and custody battle between her and Jericho was seldom a topic she, or Dave, chose to bring up.
They had decided, though, to bring up MayAnne together. She was still slightly confused over 'how Davey became Daddy' but loved him all the same. Lana had become so consumed in being the perfect wrestler, mother and lover that nothing else mattered at it was visble.

Dave rolled over to find the bed empty. "Babe?" He sat and reached for the light. It's five o'clock in the morning; where the hell is she? Dave thought to himself as he got out of bed in search of Lana. He couldn't help but laugh as he came to the kitchen and found her sleep in front of the fridge.
"Lana…Lana! Wake up…" He threw her over his shoulder and she slowly came to.
"I was making breakfast I'll have you know!" She realized she had been sleeping and didn't fight it when Dave laid her in the bed.
He smiled as she immediately rolled over and continued to deepen her sleep. "Well," he spoke to himself, "I think I'll handle that today…" Dave showered and got ready to carry out his recently devised plan. By the time he had gotten completely dressed and ready, MayAnne had snuggled into bed with her mother, as she often did.
"Hey Kid!" Dave whispered as he kissed his daughter on her forehead. "You wanna come run some errands with me?" The little brunette toddler looked up at her daddy and nodded. Quietly, Dave grabbed her up and got her dressed, which was more difficult than he thought. I didn't think kids cared about matching?, he thought to himself as he finished dressing MayAnne and made his way down the hall to Paul ad Stephanie's room.
After being let in, MayAnne ran to socialize with her 'cousin' while her father and her uncle schemed.
"So you're really gonna do it?" Paul slapped Dave in the back encouragingly. "What do I need to do to help?"
Dave smiled. "Spoil Stephanie with Alana today. I figure we send 'em shopping and to the spa and then we could meet them for dinner. Afterwards, you guys could take MayAnne and… well, you know!" Paul saw the twinkle in his best friend's eye and couldn't refuse even if he had wanted to.
"Sounds like a plan…" Paul made sure his wife wasn't awake, "Where do we start?"
The men brainstormed on how to set their plan into actions and eventually called in a Diva for help. After a good thirty minutes on the phone with Melina, they figured the first thing to do was send the girls out. Ever the businessman, Dave paid Melina to call a spa and set up a full treatment for the girls.
"I can do that!" Melina chimed. "The next step is getting them there. You need to leave the rooms, take the kids, and call a cab. Have it waiting out front and then call Steph and Lana. Say you need them to come down and met you for something and have the driver 'whisk' them away." Dave and Paul followed Melina's instructions to a tee and watched the cab, with the women in it, drive away to the finest spa in the city.

Stephanie yawned as she looked over at the best friend. "Lana…were going somewhere…" She lazily stated the obvious as Lana searched for a response. Suddenly alert, she sat straight up.
"Mr. Cabbie, where are we going?"
The cab driver rolled down the window between them, "We are headed to Bliss Spa downtown. From what I understand, your significant others are having you two 'whisked' away for a day of relaxation.
"Are you serious? What about our kids?" Stephanie realized the cab driver wouldn't have response, and drew out her cell to call Paul.
"You know lady; I think they'll be okay. The chick who arranged this, I think she was the brown guys secretary, she said you guys were supposed to go through today without a care."
Both women sat in the back confused and in silence until Lana pieced together the information the driver had given them, "Oh…Melina's in on this!"
"Oh…I guess I feel better about it then…you know what, they don't have to tell me twice; I'm relaxing!" Stephanie stretched out in the back seat and enjoyed the rest of the ride to the spa.

I think this, my first published fan fiction, is coming to an end! You guys didn't respond either way to my last review request, so I decided to end it before it flopped or dried up! I love you lots, but you know the drill, at least three (3) reviews to update.
