I own only Constantine

Thanks for reviews! I'm trying to something to this story... But I'm still not satisfied...


Chapter 10

On the last night before my leave, I couldn't sleep much, because I was thinking how much I would miss everyone, or almost everyone. Of course I knew, that many of my co-workers would come to visit me in Toronto and I had no hope of getting rid of my brother. But Dave was pressing my mind and actually I had stood up from the bed twice in that night and went to my room door. I was going to speak to him, but on both times I changed my mind.

Then started my maternity leave. Toronto is my favourite place in whole world, so it was nice to be home again and really just relax and do nothing. Though I'm not really used to that do nothing – part and sometimes I was a bit annoyed that I couldn't do those things I really enjoyed. That is kickboxing and shopping. Kickboxing didn't naturally come in question and shopping started to become a bit hard for me, when I started to remind a whale which was pregnant. My brother was driving me crazy, like I had expected and Adam and Trish visited me everytime when they were home at Toronto. Thank God, Chris lives in Manhattan…

Some others visited me as well and AJ spent a week at my house, which I liked so much. Have I mentioned, that sometimes I feel like I would prefer him as my brother instead that fussing blonde, who is really my brother? I love Chris, but sometimes he just annoys me enormously...

I hadn't heard anything from Dave, or Chris and Trish had mentioned him few times, but I hadn't heard anything from himself. Trish had told that now Dave and Paul had some issues between them, so it might be one reason. Randy called me few times and everytime he left me staring my mobile in total confusion when we had disconnected.

In the middle of November I gave a birth for a little girl who I named Caitlin Elisabeth Irvine. She was really beautiful baby and I was really happy, when I noticed that she didn't remind her father, from who I hadn't heard anyhing after I had left him. It is probably needless to say, that Chris almost couldn't keep his pants on, when he came to see us at the hospital, when she was two days old. After I was released from hospital, I called Dave, who had heard from Chris that I had a little girl. Actually I knew, that Chris had announced it to everyone, because I had received a huge bouquet of flowers from the whole RAW staff. That call to Dave wasn't perhaps the most pleasant call in the world and I didn't know what to say to him. I asked him to visit me in Toronto, but his answer wasn't so clear and after we had disconnected, I wasn't sure was he coming to see me and Caitlin or not.

Few weeks after we got released from hospital, AJ came to see us and he was absolutely in love to my daugher immediately. I asked him and Chris to be her godfathers and they agreeded to be her godfather happily.

After the new year when I watched RAW from TV, I saw myself that thing what Chris and Trish had mentioned. Terms between Dave and Paul didn't seem to be like before, maybe that wasn't so noticeable yet, but I had learned to know both of them, specially Dave. At that point I already missed back to work, at least a bit. Caitlin did keep me busy, thought and of course I loved being with her. I knew that when I would go back to work, I couldn't take her with me on the road for couple of first times, but I knew already that my parents would take care of her when I was working. And when she would be a bit older, I could take her with me. But I would still be on my leave for four months and when I was back at work she would be already six months old.

Randy and John came to see me and Caitlin after the New Year and I have to admit that it was nice to see them both, specially John, who I hadn't seen for a long time. And again Caitlin just made them fall in love with her and Randy left me in the state of confusion when they left. Dave didn't come to Toronto, though I had even said to Chris, that he would tell him to come see me. Chris had also hinted that Dave had been really touchy for couple of last months and didn't actually come along with anyone. When I suspected that it was because all what had happened in RAW, he rejected that totally and told that there was some other reason for his behaviour. I just wondered, that why my brother, who was usually totally blind in things like this, had now payed attention to it...

When came that years Royal Rumble, I followed that from TV and now was quite clearly seen, that there was something wrong between Paul and Dave. I was so excited when Dave won the main event of that evening, though his last opponent was John Cena. Now Dave probably would take on Paul in Wrestlemania for Heavyweight Championship…

Two weeks later Smackdown had show in Toronto and of course I had promised to go and see that, I just wasn't sure if I would take Caitlin with me, despite everyone had asked me to take her. Two days before the show I got a bit peculiar call from Chris.

"Well, hello bro." I answered when my mobile chirped.

"Hey, Con. Are you home?" I hardly heard his voice because his car radio yelled really loud.

"Yes I am. Where are you?"

"Actually we are soon at your place." He answered a bit strange tone of voice.

"What? Are you in Toronto? And who we?" I was a bit confused. Why Chris hadn't informed me that he was coming to Toronto few days before the show? And who was with him?

"Yeah, I'm in Toronto, but I will leave straight away to Winnipeg. But first I want to see my goddaughter."

"You didn't give me an answer that who is with you." I stated.

"That's surprise. But don't go anywhere. We are soon there."

"Well, alright." I said hesitating.

"Good. See you soon." And then he disconnected.

I stared a moment the opposite wall, wondering that what Chris had come up now. He knew that I don't like surprises, so he did this with expense of his own health.

When Chris had disconnected, Dave looked at him.

"Remind me, why I did agree to this?"

"Gladly. You miss my sister really much. And you have been so snappish last few months, it has been unbearable. We all know why you have been like that." Chris answered.

Before Dave had the change to say anything, he carried on.

"And Con then. Despite she is happy mother now, she misses you so much."

"Are you sure?" Dave seemed to have some doubts about that. "She and Randy seem to..."

"Geez Dave. I have said to you hundreds of times that Con does not care about Randy like she cares about you, not even close." Chris interrupted.

"But if she doesn't agree with this…" Dave tried once still.

"She will. She has no other choises and knows herself that she wants you to stay..." Chris answered smiling a bit.

I collected fast stuffs which were spread around my house and then it didn't take long when my doorbell rang. When I opened the door, my heart almost stood still. I couldn't believe, that I really saw Dave Batista standing behind my smirking brother.

"What? Chris what…" I couldn't get anything out of my mouth, so I snapped it shut.

"Would you let us in? We are freezing here." Chris stated.

I just looked at Dave eyes wide and turned then from the door.

"So, now when we are here, can I see my goddaughter? Where is she?" Chris looked us a bit amused.

"Caitlin… Is sleeping." I somehow managed to say.

"Alright. I'll go to bedroom to see her."

"You look great, Con. Have you been well?" Dave looked at me.

"Ha, that man can talk after all. He was so silent the whole drive here. I though that he has suddently become mute." Chris said before he entered the bedroom.

It took a while before I could give an answer, because I was really overwhelmed about this all.

"I've been absolutely great. Caitlin is a sweet baby and I have had quite easy time with her." Finally I got back the ability to speak more than two words.

"Good. Chris has told me that you haven't had troubles with her." Dave answered.

"Dave, what are you really doing here?" Finally I asked the question what had been pressing my mind since the call I got from Chris.

"Chris said that I have to make things clear with you. And then he almost kidnapped me with him." Dave smiled a little.

I wondered, that how my shortish brother even could kidnap Dave, who is, well, huge...

"What things?"

"Dave has been so snappish to everyone since you left for leave. We decided with Trish, Amy and Jay to do something about that and now he is here. And you have clearly been unhappy, when you haven't seen Dave." Chris said coming downstairs carrying Caitlin.

"But why you brought him here?" I wondered and added then." I hope you didn't wake her."

What in the earth he mumbled? I hadn't been unhappy! I had my daugher, who I had loved from the very beginning. Well, I had missed Dave, but... Unhappy?

"She was already awake. And I brought him here so you two can talk." Then Chris stood infront Dave." This beautiful little girl is my goddaughter, Caitlin."

I saw how Daves whole body relaxed and his expression became softer.

"She is really beautiful baby."

"So I have been telling all the time. She will be same kind of beauty like her mother." Chris grinned a little. Then he turned to me.

"Tinnie, I have to go, but I hope you can make your things clear." Chris said giving Caitlin to my arms.

"Go? Where? And where Dave is going?" I asked

"Yes. To Winnipeg. He stays here." Chris answered and bursted to laughter, when he saw my face, which had image of a pure confusion. "I have to go to Winnipeg and I though Dave can stay here with you two days, you have here so much space."

"And you just couldn't ask me about this earlier?" I stated after a short silence.

"If this is inconvenient for you, I can go to hotel" Dave said before Chris got his mouth open.

"No, it isn't inconvenient, Dave. Don't worry. I just wish that Chris would have mentioned about this up front." I answered, because I really hoped that Dave would stay with me. Somewhere deep inside I thanked my brother and maybe some day I will thank him out loud, but not yet anyway.

"I knew that you would agree, when you have no other choises." Chris grinned and put his shoes on. "Now I'll leave you two love birds alone."

Lucky for my brother, he has at least a little instinct to protect himself and he opened the door quickly, because I had let out a little scream of fury and gave Caitlin to Dave, then rushed after him. Chris was faster than me, though – and I didn't have shoes on, so running in the snow was a bit difficult – so, he was already at his car.

"Have fun and see you in two days, Tinnie." Sometimes my so annoyingly undisciplined brother laughed when he sat on his car "Take Caitlin to the show!" He yelled before he closed the door and started the car. I watched after him for a while shaking my head, took a deep breath and went back to the house.
