I own only Con, Caitlin and Ryan.
Chapter 12
I just couldn't believe that I was in a situation like this. A day before Chris had appeared to my door with Dave, well in the end, that was a very nice surprise, though I still don't like surprises. And now Ryan stood behind my door, which certainly wasn't a pleasant surprise.
"I want to see my daughter." It was just his style to get right on the point. I wasn't specially surprised, that he knew about Caitlin, because we had still some mutual friends, who knew about my daughter.
"Why do you want to see her now?" I asked annoyed. We hadn't been in contact for almost a year, why he had now to appear behind my door?
"I have a right for that. Would you let me in?"
"You gave up on that right year ago. I don't want that you to see Caitlin." I answered.
"Is her name Caitlin? That is a beautiful name." Ryan said and I saw his expression become softer. " Please, let me in, just for a moment."
I gave a deep sigh and turned from door. I hoped, that Dave would end his call soon. Someone had called him a moment before and he was talking in guestroom.
Ryan came in and followed me to livingroom, where I turned to him.
"Caitlin is sleeping and I don't want to wake her."
"I would like to see her, I am her father. I can't believe, that you didn't tell that to me yourself and left so suddently. I heard a month later that you are pregnant from Chris."
I started to see red, I didn't think that I left so suddently, and it was expected when I catched him cheating on me. Hey, just a moment, did he say that he had heard from Chris, that I was pregnant? Did he mean...No, that was not possible.
"I didn't heard it from your brother, I heard it from Chris McLean." Ryan said when he saw my bit horrified expression. I gave a secret sigh of relief, Chris McLean was one of our mutual friends "And Chris told me that you had a girl."
"I did expect that you heard about it sooner or later. But if you have known about this so long, why didn't you come earlier?"
"I was scared."
Well, that answer wasn't a surprise!
"I won't let you see Caitlin." I repeated. "Actually I want you out of our life once and for all. I'm doing great. I have a great working place and everything else is just right at the moment. I don't need you, we don't need you."
"I did heard that you work now in WWE. If you have troubles to get someone to take care of her when you're working, I can do that." Ryan said and his eyes were glowing a little.
I sighed again, that was a cheap shot from him.
"That is taken care already. And I won't go back to work for three months yet." I answered with harsh tone.
"But Tinnie, let me just see her." Ryan asked.
"Don't ever again call me Tinnie!" I snapped. "To you I'm Constantine, for now and in future." I was angry and I wondered at the same time, that why Dave spoke for so long on phone.
"But Tinnie…"
"Didn't you understand what I said? Don't call me that!" Usually I don't specially care what name people use of me, but I was so pissed, that I got stuck in the smallest things.
Ryan took a deep breath.
"I regret about what happened. That was totally my fault. I hope, that you'll give me second change, now when we have a daughter together."
I just stared at him speechless. I couldn't believe, that he let out something like that, specially when I had just said, that I wanted him out of our lives once and for all.
"No Ryan. We will never be together again." I finally managed to say.
"But couldn't we try…?" Ryan tried again and then for my relief I saw Dave appearing to livingroom door behind him.
"What is going on here?" Dave asked with deep and maybe even a bit dangerous voice.
Ryan turned around surprised and stared at the big man, who had suddently appeared.
"Who are you?" Ryan asked a bit reserved.
"I'm Cons co-worker, Dave Batista. But who are you?" Dave looked at my ex boyfriend interested.
"I'm Caitlins father."
'Uh-huh, wrong answer, Ryan.' I thought when Daves eyes almost flamed and he took few steps towards Ryan. If I had been in his situation, I would had run and fast out of the door, but it seemed he lacked the instict to protect himself.
"So you are the moron, who cheated on Con and who every man and woman in RAW wants to kill with own hands." Dave stated staring straight to him.
Actually Dave was wrong in that, only half of RAW wanted to kill him with own hands, other half wanted to torture him for days and leave him in desert to die. My brother and AJ had that kind of dreams of killing him, which they hadn't shared even with me.
Ryan turned again to look at me, which was a mistake. My ex boyfried seemed to do lot of mistakes on that evening...
"Constantine, please let me explain. You are the only woman..."
"Ryan, you should leave now. I have said everything, what there is to say. We will never be together again and you will not see Caitlin, not now anyway." I interrupted him.
"But Con, try to understand…" He tried once again.
"You heard what she said, you should go now. She doesn't want to talk with you, I think she has made that clear." This time Dave interrupted him.
"Stay out of this. This doesn't concern you." Ryan snapped.
'Poor Ryan, you can't say the right things tonight at all,' I thought when I took few steps and stood infront Dave, then lowered my hand to his arm. I had seen that he started to be pissed as well.
"Let it go, Dave. Ryan isn't worth of it." I said quietly.
I felt that he relaxed a little, but he still stared at Ryan and he had no kind expression in his eyes. We were all silent for a moment and then Ryan sighed.
"I can see, that you don't want to speak about this now. But we can do it later."
Dave couldn't control himself anymore and said with a tone of voice, which would have scared me to death, if those words would have directed to me.
"You have no reason to talk to her in the future. Stay far away of her and Caitlin." Then he took Ryan by the collar and almost dragged him to door, then he opened the door and practically kicked Ryan out, then he slammed the door shut.
When Ryan had left, or I mean kicked out, I sat on couch sighing, Dave sat next to me and looked at me closely.
"I take, that you didn't wait visit from your ex boyfriend?"
"No, I didn't" I answered quietly and looked then him to eyes." Thank you."
"For what?"
"That you came here… That you stood for me…That…" I couldn't carry on, because finally I bursted to tears, what I had kept inside since the previous night, when Dave had told me that they would like him to join Smackdown. Dave stroke gently my back and tried to comfort me, but that just made me to cry more, because on that moment all just erupted out. When I had cried against his shoulder for a while, I finally got myself together.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what went in me." I said wiping my tears.
"Don't worry, I understand your feelings." He said quietly.
We spent the rest of the night watching TV and I got Caitlin with us for a while. When I looked at her and Dave, I felt like I had a massive scrap in my throat.
On that night my nightmare returned. I hadn't seen that for months, but maybe all those feelings, what I had experienced during last days, set it off somehow.
In the dream I catched Ryan cheating on me with three women at the same time, and my belly was really huge. I ran out of our appartment, and then I felt my self falling down, down, down… Until I ended up to freezing cold water and then I woke up screaming. I heard a gentle voice next to me.
"There's no danger, Con. It was just a bad dream."
I opened my eyes and saw a big, muscular man body standing next to my bed in the dark. I realized that it was Dave, but I wondered a bit, how he had heard my scream. He slept in the next room, but my walls weren't made of paper. I rose to sat in my bed and put a nightlight on. Then I looked at the man, who stood in my bedroom without a shirt and only slack pants on his feet. (A/N: okay, have to take a short breathing break, I got a mental image, which got me breathless…).
"I'm sorry, if I woke you." I said quietly.
"No worries, I was just drinking water downstairs and I heard you screaming, so you didn't wake me." Dave answered. "Do you want to tell what kind of nightmare you saw?"
He sat on the edge of the bed and after I had hesitated a little, I told about the nightmare which I had seen several times at the beginning of my pregnancy. Soon Caitlin woke up and I was just getting up to feed her, when Dave pushed me gently back.
"Don't get up, I'll feed her."
Dave took the feeding bottle and took her from her bed, then he put the bottle to her mouth and she started to suck it with a good appetite. Dave stayed so long at my bedroom, until I and Caitlin fell asleep again.
On the next morning breakfast was waiting me again when I went downstairs. I thought that happy was the woman, who would eventually get Dave all for herself and I could not understand, how Angie could take a divorce of man like he is. Besides that he is handsome as hell, really nice and great with kids, that man could cook! Every womans dream man...
We went together to Air CanadaCenter,where the show was on that night,and I decided to take Caitlin with us. When we went inside, my dear brother jumped to us and almost drowned poor Caitlin with kisses. Have I told that he is insane? If I haven't I do now; my brother Christopher Irvine aka Chris Jericho is absolutely insane! When we had escaped my harrasing brother, I went to meet divas and spoke with them for a while before I took Caitlin and went to say hello to others. I knocked on Randys and Renes lockerroom door and after Rene had let us in, I saw Randy sitting on the bench. I smiled at him a little.
"Hey, Randy."
"Ah, girls. How are you two doing?" Randy stood up and took Caitlin.
"We are just fine. And you? How are things with Paul?"
"Well, I wouldn't brag with it too much." He answered a bit dryly.
"Things will get better, I'm sure of it." I comforted him.
"Yes, Paul has his hands full with Dave, who has started to think this whole Evolution thing at other perspective."
"Yeah, I have heard that they have some unsolved things."
I spoke with Rene and Randy for a while and then I went to watch the show from a big screen at backstage. Quite a many of wrestlers came to talk to me and see Caitlin, so I couldn't really concentrate on watching the show. Even Ric Flair came to say hello, at least Paul didn't come to bother me...
When Chris' match was over, I went to his lockerroom just when he came out of shower. He turned to me worried expression in his eyes, when I pushed baby carriage in the room.
"Dave told me that Ryan visited last evening."
I sighed, I should have guessed that he heards about it.
"Yes, he did…" I said quietly.
"What the moron wanted?" He sounded a bit angry...
"He wanted to see Caitlin and..." I hesitated. "He wanted a second change."
My brother looked like his eyes were about bulge out.
"Could you repeat that?"
"You heard right. But I said no and Dave came to help."
"Well, good. It's best for him to stay far away from you two, or I'll beat some sense in him." He sounded quite pissed and I was relieft when Adam came in. I left Caitlin with Adam and Chris and went to talk with Matthew, who had done great job with wrestlers while I was on leave.
When I went back to lockerroom, I saw that Caitlin, who was awake, sat at Adams lap and tuft of his hair was on her small fist.
"That looks painful." I stated smiling.
"Well, it does hurt a bit." He grimaced.
When the show was over, whole RAW staff left Toronto that night, and I almost bursted to tears, because I wanted so much back to work. Before Dave got to the bus, which was waiting for them, I gave him a tight hug and thanked him for staying with me for last two days. I made him swear that he would inform me immediately, when he had done the decision conserning Smackdown. I said goodbyes to others and when Randy was going to the bus, he stood at my side.
"It was so nice to see you. I hope I'll see you and Caitlin very soon again."
"You too. And I think we'll see again quite soon." I answered.
Then he bended and pressed his lips gently to my lips. I was so flustered, that I didn't pull back, but I didn't return the kiss either. When Randy pulled back, he smiled a little and I watched him rattled. What the hell was he thinking?
I watched when he got to the bus and then I happened to glance to bus window and saw Dave staring at me.
ChainGangMemberLife: I don't mind at all... My native language is Finnish.
It seems like most of you want Con and Dave to end up together, but we'll see... Maybe Randy has something to say to that...
