Chapter 13

Again I was depending on what Chis, Amy and Trish told me about happenings in RAW and of course I watched it from telly. Dave hadn't told me yet, what he was going to do concerning Smackdown, althought I had spoken with him few times. AJ spent few days with me and because he had heard about Ryans visit from Chris, I had hands full when I tried to convince him, that it wasn't necessary for him to go bang behind Ryans door.

It was already clear that terms between Dave and Paul were really bad. I was even a bit worried about Dave, because I knew where Paul was capable of. John visited me for my delight when Smackdown had tour in Canada and we had a really nice day together. When I spoke with Randy, I had no courage to ask, that what the kiss had really meant. But it seemed like it didn't bother Dave, if he had seen it.

When that day came closer, when Dave was supposed to tell, would he sign to Smackdown or would he stay in RAW, I was quite nervous. I didn't want to call him all the time and ask, that what his decision was. I tried to ask Chris, did he know something about it and I think that it was my turn to drive him crazy. My brother didn't know anything about it anyway, either did anyone else, thought I tried to ask about it. Dave and Paul hardly talked to each others, and it just made me fear more that Dave would sign to Smackdown.

When came the day in the end of february, when Dave would tell his decision, I didn't know what he will do, though I had called him a day before. He had just said, that he wasn't sure what he'll do, but I shouldn't be worried. It was good for him to say, I suppose it didn't bother him, if we would be working in different shows. I, in the other hand, would have been really sad and sorry about it, but I just couldn't say it to him. I watched the show direct from TV and bite my nails. Caitlin slept on her blanket and I kept on eye on her at the same time, when I tried to watch TV. When it came that time on the show, when Dave either signed to Smackdown or stayed in RAW, I took her to my lap and stared at TV. I tried to breath properly, when Dave walked to ring, where Terry Long stood and there was two contracts waiting on the table, other to RAW and other to Smackdown.

When Dave got in the ring, Paul and Ric joined him and both of them signed to him that he should join Smackdown. Dave stood in the middle of the ring both contracts on his hands and for my horror he threw RAW contract to the floor. I stood up from the couch and I was just going to take Caitlin to sleep upstairs, when I heard the audience in TV begin to yell really loud and turned back to it. Then I saw how Dave threw Ric out of the ring and Batista Bombed Paul straight trough table. After this Dave bended down and said the words, which I had hoped to hear.

"Hunter, I'm staying right here on RAW. And at WrestleMania, I'm taking the World Heavyweight Championship … from you!"

I had difficulties to keep my self together, but that Caitlin was on my arms prevented me jumping around for a joy. Dave would stay in RAW after all and we would be still working together! But it was still a bit annoying for my opinion, that he didn't tell me about this, though I had almost begged him. He should have guessed how much I wanted to know that. And I had suspicions that Chris hadn't given him peace concerning this thing.

Chris called me on that same night and we had a very interesting conversation, when he told that, Dave had told him before the show, what he was going to do. He had asked Chris not to tell me, because he wanted to keep it as a secret until the very last minute. I was a bit amazed, that he had told it to my brother, who usually can't keep secrets. And even more it amazed me that Chris didn't say anything to me. But maybe he had improved his skills to keep asecret, when it was absolutely necessary.

On the next day I decided to call Dave, after I had sat on the couch mobile on my hand about an hour and fighed with myself, whether call or not. When I finally dialed his number, I experienced a slight shock, because I heard a womans voice from other side of the line, and I didn't recognise it.

"Can I speak with Dave?" I said a bit hesitantly.

" He's at downstairs with Tara." She answered and I swallowed a little, I knew that one of his daughters was called Tara and it came to my mind that, it might be Angie, who answered his mobile. But Dave hadn't even hinted that she or his daughter were with him at the moment. Even Chris hadn't say anything about that.

"Well, I can call in few minutes again. Can you say to Dave that Constantine called?"

"I will. Hey, are you that Constantine, sister to Jericho?" For my surprise I heard that her voice became more cheerful "I have heard so much good things of you."

"Yes, I am." I answered amazed. What she was talking about? What she had heard about me and from who? And above all, who was she?

"I'm Daves sister, Sarah." She said a bit laughing and I gave a silent sigh of relief, when she continued. "I think, that Dave will be back very soon. We can talk meantime, if it is okay with you."

I said that it was alright for me, though I was confused. I spoke with her until I heard Daves voice saying something on background and Sarah said to me.

"Now Dave came, I'll give the mobile to him, but it was really nice to talk with you, Constantine."

I heard Dave asking "Is it Constantine?" before he said to me.

"Constantine?"

"Yes, Dave. It's me."

"I'm sorry if Sarah said something unpleasant." Dave said a bit apologing voice.

"She was very kind to me." I said truthfully. "But actually I have something to say to you, that is why I called."

"I suspected so." He sounded amused.

"Why couldn't you tell me in front hand, that you'll stay in RAW?" I puffed. "And you told it to Chris before the show. For God sake, to Chris, who usually can't keep his mouth shut!"

For my some kind of surprise Dave started to laugh and I clenched my teeth and waited that he would get himself together again.

"I'm sorry, but I wanted to keep it as a surprise. Though I know that you don't like surprises, I thought that this might a pleasant one."

Dave was right about that, this was a pleasant surprise, but...

"Would you had told me, if you would have signed to Smackdown?" I asked for my and Daves surprise.

"I think I would have." He answered and judging his voice, he got more serious.

"Well, I am happy, that you decided to stay in RAW, despite all Pauls attempts." I stated.

"Yeah, Paul is one son of a bitch...How is Caitlin?" I have to admit, that he changed the subject quite smoothly...

"She is just fine."

"Good." Dave said and then I heard his sisters voice on the background." Alright Con, I have to go now. But Sarah asked me to say, that she is looking forward to meet you in Wrestlemania."

"Tell her that I look forward to meeting her too. And say to everyone hello from me." I answered.

When we had disconnected, I heard Caitlin crying and when I went to her, I thought about words what Sarah had said. She told me, that Dave had spoken about me with very respecting tone and she said also that Dave had lost his heart for my daughter. Also what she said just before Dave had come to the room bothered me...

I lifted Caitlin from her bed and said to her.

"You should never fall for an American man, you should pick a Canadian, when comes that time. Believe what mom says, darling."

Caitlin just looked at me with her blue eyes and I had to smile a little, there was one person in my life, who listened what I had to say. Though she didn't understand anything about it.

I watched RAW always when it came from telly and of course I heard all the backstage rumours from my brother and Trish. I wasn't so much in touch with Adam, because I was a bit angry to him for ruining his marriage and cheating his wife with Amy. Amy is one of my best friends, and actually I wasn't so angry to her. It is our woman right to blame always men, when it is possible, right? I was also a bit sorry for Matt Hardy. I had always liked him and I knew him quite well, despite that he had left WWE before I started my work there. Matt is one of best friends for AJ and I learned to know him and Jeff trough AJ. I was really happy when I heard that Matt was resigned to RAW and I had change to work with him too.

Dave didn't visit me, but I didn't let that bother me so much anymore, because we called almost weekly basis. Randy didn't visit me either, and I hate to admit, but I was a bit relieft about it. Trish had told me that Chris had 'spoken seriously' with Randy, what ever that means. My brother isn't known about his ability to speak seriously with someone.

I decided to go to Los Angeles, where Wrestlemania was on April. Caitlin was almost five months old, but I decided to take her to Winnipeg, because my parents wanted to see their granddaughter again. I would get a short break, though I didn't admit that I needed that. But it was nice to see all wrestlers and above all, in the most important event of the year. AJ was also coming to Wrestlemania and I was really excited about it. And of course I waited so much for meeting Dave again... I was also excited about the main event, which was Dave against Paul and it would be a World Heavyweight title match. I had still month left my leave and I could watch the whole show without thinking my job and running around.

But I also knew , that I should try to make things clear with Dave. Chris, AJ and Trish had been driving me crazy by nagging to me every time when saw them or I spoke with them. And Daves sister had said me already in February, that she had never heard Dave speaking about any woman like he spoke about me, not even Angie.


A/N; I have no idea if Dave has a sister, but in this story he does...
