"Jessie" Trish squealed as Jessie and Sylvain stepped off the plane. They were back from their honeymoon and John and Trish were picking them up at the airport. John's mom was keeping an eye on Kevin and Rosalyn seeing as it was midnight.
"Trish" Jessie squealed in the same way, pulling Trish in for a hug. After she hugged Trish she hugged John.
"How was the honeymoon babygirl?" John asked her, pulling back from the hug.
"God it was great" Jessie said, sharing a secretive smile with Sylvain. 'That's all he needs to know' Jessie thought to herself 'anymore and he'd have a heartattack'.
"That's good" John said, as they started walking toward the baggage claim 'thank God that's all she said' John thought to himself 'I'd have had a heartattack if she went into detail'.
"Where's the kids?" Sylvain asked.
"With mom" John told him "we didn't want to drag 'em out in the middle of the night and all seeing as we'd only be a half an hour tops and all".
"Ahhh" Sylvain replied. He was half asleep and only wanted to get to bed. They got Jessie and Sylvain's bags and John drove them to Jessie and Sylvain's new house. When they were in Hawaii on honeymoon Jessie and Sylvain had looked at houses in West Newbury and found a nice house that was only 3 miles up the road from John and Trish and 5 miles from Jessie's grandparents. It was 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and had a huge back yard. Sylvain had wired John money to buy it and to furnish it with the essentials, he and Jessie would buy the other stuff later on.
"God its beautiful" Jessie said as they pulled up to the house. She had saw a picture of it on the website they had found it on but seeing it in person was different.
"Wait til you see the inside" Trish said, turning around and looking at Jessie in the back seat. John parked his car in the garage and the four got out of the car. John unlocked the door and they walked inside. The door lead into the kitchen area and Jessie and Sylvain looked around in awe. It was beautiful. They were brought out of their thoughts by a baby crying loudly. The four walked into the living room area and saw Carol sitting on the couch rocking a crying Rosalyn. Sylvain went and sat beside her.
"Aww honey" he said to the infant "what is wrong huh?" When Rosalyn heard his voice she looked over at him, holding out her hands toward him and still crying.
"Dada" she said, pitifully, shocking everyone who heard it.
"Did she just..." Sylvain asked in shock.
"I think she did..." Trish told him.
"Woah" John said, open mouthed.
"Awwww" Sylvain said, taking Rosalyn in his arms "it is ok, daddy's here it is ok". Rosalyn calmed down and went back to sleep, her head resting on Sylvain's chest as he cradled her to him.
"I can't believe she said her first word" Jessie said, shocked.
"It is about time she started talking" John said "she IS just a month shy of being a year old".
"You know what I just realized" Trish said, suddenly.
"What honey?" John asked, bringing her into his arms and kissing her forehead.
"Christmas is Rosalyn's birthday" Trish said "I mean Sylvain and Jessie got her on the 25th of September and the note said something about it being the day she turned 9 months in the P.S. remember? So the 25th of December would be her 1 year birthday".
"Awwwww" Jessie cooed "a Christmas baby".
"I always knew she was a saint" John joked. Trish laughed and elbowed him in the ribs.
"Well" Trish said "John and I are gonna go back to our house. Hon go up and get Kevin out of the spare bedroom". John went up the stairs to retrieve the little boy. "You guys have some food in the fridge, John and I went to get it today so its fresh, you have everything furnished so don't worry about anything oh and tomorrow we fly out to go back on the road, noon. John and I will be here to pick you guys up". John came back down the stairs then with the sleeping Kevin in his arms.
"Ready baby" he asked Trish, she nodded and stood up from where she had sat down.
"We'll see you guys later" she said as she and John left.
"Ready for bed?" Jessie asked Sylvain who was sitting on the couch looking like he was about to fall asleep. Rosalyn was still in his arms asleep.
"Oui" he told her, standing up carefully so he didn't disturb Rosalyn. Jessie stood up and they went upstairs and found their room. There was a door off to the side of it that lead into Rosalyn's nursary. Sylvain tucked her into her crib and came back into the bedroom, falling into bed asleep. Jessie laughed and went over and took his shoes off. She then got into bed beside him and drifted off to sleep herself.
The next morning Sylvain and Jessie got up when Rosalyn was heard chattering in her room. Jessie went and got her while Sylvain took a shower. Jessie brought Rosalyn downstairs and to the kitchen "whatcha want for breakfast sweet pea?" Jessie asked, strapping Rosalyn into a high chair that was in there. She rummaged around the cabinets and found some baby cereal. She mixed it up with some milk and brought a chair beside the high chair so she could sit down and feed her. Rosalyn practically gulped down the food, Jessie couldn't feed her fast enough.
After Rosalyn was fed Sylvain came down from his shower and took her from Jessie so Jessie could go get a shower and changed. "Come on cutie" Sylvain said to Rosalyn "let's go get dressed". He took her up to her nursary and picked out some jeans and a pink top for her. After she was dressed he took her down stairs and sat watching cartoons with her while Jessie got ready.
"Hun" Jessie said coming down stairs "can you come help me pack? I mean we gotta take our dirty clothes out of our suitcases and put in clean ones. It'll take forever by myself".
"Sure" Sylvain said, he followed Jessie up to their room. He turned on the tv in their room and sat Rosalyn in her car seat in front of it so they could pack in peace. It took them close to two hours but they finally got every dirty piece of clothing out of their bags, replaced them with clean clothes, and Jessie even got a head start on washing the dirty ones.
"Are you ready to be back?" Sylvain asked Jessie as they walked through the halls of the arena.
"I should be asking you that" Jessie said "I mean I'm not the one who's gonna be slamming my body around and all".
"I think we both did some slamming on our honeymoon" Sylvain remarked, sending Jessie a suggestive smile.
"Perv" she shot back as they came to the writing team office. Sylvain said goodbye to her and he and Rosalyn walked off to his locker room as Jessie went into the office.
"Jessie" Stephanie squealed when she saw her "welcome back girl".
"Thanks" Jessie said, hugging her. "I'm glad to be back, can't wait".
"Well" Stephanie said, turning serious. "I don't think you'll want to be back once I tell you what I have to tell you".
"What?" Jessie asked, getting worried.
"It's Candice" Stephanie told her "she wants another match with you, this time no one at ringside".
"I've beaten the hell out of her two times now, you'd think she'd learn" Jessie grumbled.
"Yep" Stephanie sympathized "so do you mind doing the match".
"Nope" Jessie said "just another time for me to kick her ass".
After the creative meeting, for which Jessie couldn't believe some of the stuff that she heard come from the other people, she went to her family's locker room. "Hey" Trish said, answering the door and letting Jessie in.
"I have another match with Candice tonight" Jessie announced, flopping down next to John who was listening to his headphones. When he heard what Jessie said though he whipped off the ear piece and looked at her incredulously.
"What?" he asked "God why won't she leave you alone".
"Who knows?" Jessie asked "Trish can I borrow something to wear".
"Sure" Trish told her, getting her some clothes out of her bag for Jessie to wear. Stephanie had told her that the match was before the tv taping so she made her way to the curtain to wait. It wasn't long before Candice Michelle joined her.
"Hope you're ready to get your ass kicked" Candice said haughtily "Gene's been showing me some moves".
"Hun" Jessie said "moves in the bedroom won't get you anywhere in the ring. I've had daddy, Randy, Mark Jindrak, Maven, Sylvain, Kurt all of them have shown me stuff in the ring, actual wrestling moves that is. I could kick your ass with one hand tied behind my back easily".
"We'll see" Candice said as her music started. She made her way down to the ring, waving her stupid wand around. 'Fighter' came on and Jessie made her way out to the ring. The crowd roared, they were beginning to know who she was and they wanted to see her kick Candice's ass. Candice ambushed Jessie as she was getting in the ring and whipped her into the ropes. As Jessie was coming back she clotheslined Candice to the mat.
"Bitch" Jessie spat as she picked Candice up by the hair. She shoved Candice into the turnbuckle and started wailing with punches. After that she suplexed Candice on the mat. Candice was pretty much incapacitated so Jessie decided to end the match. She picked Candice up and set her up for an FU. Before Jessie could execute the move she felt something hit her in the back. Before she knew what was going on darkness engulfed her.
"Is she gonna be alright?" Jessie heard a voice. She was awake but felt it difficult to open her eyes.
"That damn Snitsky" another voice broke through "if I ever get my hands on him..."
"Calm down Sylvain" a feminine voice said "Stephanie said he and Candice are fired, they had some kind of conspiracy against Jessie apparently, Shelton overheard them talking in their dressing room and told Stephanie about it, unfortunately she didn't take it as seriously as she should have. Kurt said she was so upset about it, he had to pull her away from Gene and Candice, he was afraid she'd hit them or something although he said he wanted to do the same".
"Me too" a voice muttered really close to her. She felt someone take her hand and wished she could open her eyes.
'Come on Jessie' she coached herself 'open your eyes, find out what in the hell's going on'. She finally got her eyes open and immediately groaned at the brightness of the light.
"Go turn down the light" the female voice said, Jessie heard someone walk across the room and a curtain was opened, letting in the light from street lamps outside come in.
"How are you Jessie?" John asked, she noticed that he was the one that was by her bedside. She looked over at him. He was still in the clothes she had saw him in earlier.
"I'm okay" she croaked out. She made a face as she heard her harsh voice.
"Here cherie" she heard Sylvain say from her other side. She turned her head and saw that he was holding a glass of water for her. He helped her sit up a bit and she took a few sips before laying back down.
"What's wrong with me?" she asked.
"Well" Trish said, coming over and sitting on the foot of the bed, beside John "you were having your match with Candice and had her up for an FU and Snitsky came out of the crowd and hit you in the back with something. When you hit the mat he and Candice started just wailing away on you. John and I rushed out and got them off of you and the medics brought you here. We know that you have a sprained ankle but the doctors aren't sure on some of your injuries. They think you have a concussion but they said that they had to wait until you woke up before they could tell".
"I hate Candice" Jessie muttered, irritably.
"Well don't worry" John soothed, rubbing her hand "she's gone from the company, so's Snitsky".
"I bet Vince is gonna start hating me" Jessie joked "I keep running people out of the company".
"It is not your fault that they are unstable" Sylvain told her "in fact there are a few others you could run out if you'd like". Everyone laughed at his joke.
"We've been given vacation time" John said once they'd calmed down "since its almost Thanksgiving and all Stephanie told me that she's giving us an extra week off".
"Woo" Jessie said dryly "going back home and sitting on my ass".
"Actually" John told her, laughing "I thought we could go to Florida. Take the kids to Disney and all".
"Ooooh" Jessie said, her eyes lighting up like a kid on Christmas morning "can we go to Sea World too?"
"Yes babygirl" John said laughing "we're leaving as soon as you get out of the hospital so we're gonna be there like two weeks so..."
"I can't wait" Jessie said, bouncing like a little kid. A doctor came in then and said Jessie was free to go, he handed her some crutches to use for her ankle.
"Will you help me get ready?" she asked Trish. Trish agreed.
"Do you want us to leave?" John asked her, gesturing to himself and Sylvain.
"Hmm" Jessie said pretending to think "well one of you's my husband and one of you's my dad so I don't think it matters much" John laughed at her and agreed. After Trish helped Jessie dress Jessie coerced Sylvain into carrying her out of the hospital claiming she was 'too tired' to manage walking. Sylvain knew differently but wordlessly picked her up and carried her, John lugging her crutches.
