I own only Con and Caitlin.
So, I'm updating again after very relaxing two weeks overseas...
Thanks for reviews!
Chapter 22
In the end of June we had a show in Atlanta. AJ lived in Georgia and he had called me couple of days before, and we had agreed to meet before the show, because he naturally wanted to see Caitlin. On that night Caitlin had kept me and Dave awake half of the night. I woke up, when my mobile chirped and despite I was still half asleep, I answered quickly, because I didn't want Dave or Caitlin to wake up.
"Hello."
"Hey, sweetie. It's AJ, can you come open the door?" I heard him saying.
"Where are you?" Like I said, I was still half asleep...
"Behind your hotelroom door. I've been banging it already for a while."
"Oh, yeah. Wait a sec." I closed the mobile and glanced to Dave and Caitlin, who were still sleeping next to me. They looked so cute, that I smiled when I went to livingroom, only to collide with the coffee table.
"Ouch. Damn. Fuck." I cursed, when I hit my toe to table foot. Then I limped to door and opened it. AJ was smiling to me widely.
"Just got out of bed? Did I wake you?"
"Oh, you mean the nightshirt..." I said, I didn't have time to change, after AJ called.
"The nightshirt, your hair, that cursing what I heard moment ago, the stupor..." He grinned.
"You are the reason for the stupor."
"Yeah, I get that a lot. I cause stupor in women."
"Geez, just come in." I grapped his arm. "What are you doing here so early anyway?"
"Darling, it's half past ten already. I'm not so early." AJ smiled.
"Oh, is it? Caitlin was up half of the night, so I guess we all needed the sleep." I said.
"Is she still sleeping? Is she sick?"
"Yeah, she is. And Dave is also. And she isn't sick, she just wanted to keep us wake."
"You look good, Tinnie." AJ hugged me.
"I bet I do. My hair is all over the place, I'm not dressed, I don't have any make up on..."
"But still you manage to look eatable." AJ grinned.
"Gee, thanks. I guess." I said a bit sarcastic way. "You look good by the way."
"I know."
I just rolled my eyes and went towards bedroom.
"Wait here, so I get changed and tie my hair."
"Don't do it for my account. I like watching you like that." AJ grinned widely.
"Yeah, but I think Dave wouldn't like that you see me like this." I answered and closed the bedroom door behind me.
When I had got dressed I went back to livingroom, Dave and Caitlin were still sleeping and I didn't want to wake them. I had talked with AJ about fifteen minutes, when bedroom door was opened and Dave stood there Caitlin in his arms.
"Oh, you two woke up." I stated.
"Yeah, I woke up when to your voice and I thought that AJ might be here already." Dave said and turned to AJ. "Hey."
"Hey." AJ stood up and went to him. "Can I say hello to my goddaugher?"
"Sure." Dave said giving her to his arms.
And then AJ spent the next ten minutes wondering how much Caitlin had grown, how beautiful she was and how she wasn't shy at all. Then Dave left to the gym and I, AJ and Caitlin headed to breakfast. We saw there bunch of people who were apparently running late too, like Chris, Matt and Trish, who looked like she would have nervous breakdown with Mickie James, who had been following her constantly during last month. They did have same storyline, but Mickie followed Trish also when cameras weren't rolling and that bugged Trish. We others watched that mostly at in amuse. I spent the day with AJ, Dave and Caitlin, thought both Chris and Matt did run back and forth between our and their own room.
When it was time to leave to show I and Caitlin drove there with AJ and again I had no change to drive, also AJ has been couple of times in the same car when I have been driving, and I guess he doesn't have so good experinces about my driving skills. Or then he has just listened Chris too much when he has told that how my driving skills suck...
When we got to arena, AJ disappeared somewhere with Caitlin and I went to do first aid room with Matthew. When the show started AJ was still somewhere with my daughter, but I was actually happy about it, I could do my job without any distractions and I knew that he would take good care of her. Some point of the show AJ came with Caitlin to first aid, but I was quite busy with patching Shawn, who had had quite beating. When I finally got him done, I turned to AJ.
"So, did you two have had a good time?"
"Yeah. We have been talking with bunch of guys." AJ stroke Caitlin's head gently. "I thing this little girl is quite tired."
"It surely seems so. You can put her to the stroller, so she can sleep there."
AJ nodded and it didn't take too long, when my daughter was asleep.
"You look tired yourself."
"Yeah, I am a little tired. I didn't sleep too much last night." Then I looked to Matthew. "I guess there won't be much work to tonight anymore. Can you manage, if I'll go see Dave?"
"Yeah. Go ahead." He said. "I can watch Caitlin."
"Thanks. I think she will sleep for a while, though."
I left the room AJ close behind and we went to see Dave. AJ left to talk with Matt soon though and before the show was over, I was just going to first aid, when Paul passed me. I had succesfully avoided him, but I had no luck in doing that at that moment.
"So, your daughter is here." He commented.
"Yes, she is." I wondered a little about his comment, the fact was, that she had been with me on the road already for almost four weeks.
"Isn't she a little young to be on the road with you?"
"I doubt that. She has been great and everyone have been watching after her."
"Specially Dave." Paul said dryly getting to the subject he apparently liked to talk with me.
"Yeah, specially he." I smiled a little and waited already 'I want my title back'-speech.
"Talking about Dave, he won't be the champion for long. I want that belt back before the Draft Lottery." Paul said. And there the speech came, I knew Paul that well, that he wouldn't let me go without mentioning Dave and the heavyweight title.
"What do you mean, before the Draft Lottery?" I asked. The lottery was in week and actually I had a bad feeling about that, I just couldn't figure out why. His words just made the feeling worse.
"Anything can happen in there." Then Paul took a firm grip of my arm. "If Dave thinks that there is something going on between us, he would be too concerned about it, when we have the next title match in two days."
"He will never get the reason even to suspect, that there something between me and you." I snorted.
"Oh, he will." Paul sounded dangerous and came closer to me.
Then he bent down gasping of pain. My kickboxer instict raised it's head again and I kicked him. Sometimes I get violent also, when I don't know what else to do, although I have been criticizing Chris about using to much violence...
"You little bitch. You kicked me." He gasped.
"Yeah, I did. But don't worry, there will be no permanent injury. I know how to kick causing pain, but no injuries." I grinned.
"And she will do it again, if you just give her a reason." I heard AJ's voice and when I turned, I saw him and Matt standing nearby.
"I want to talk to you, Paul." Matt said watching him with expression, which scared the hell out of even me.
"Matt..." I started.
"Come on, Tinnie. Let's go to see if Caitlin has waken up already." AJ put his arms to my shoulders and led me gently, to first aid room.
I convinced AJ that he shouldn't tell Dave what had happened and after a short hesitation, he said that he wouldn't tell, not even to Chris. I just hoped that Matt wouldn't do that either.
After the show I drove with AJ back to the hotel and when we got to my and Dave's room, Caitlin woke up. Dave came quite soon after us and AJ stayed at the hotel couple of hours before he drove back home.
The rest of the week was quite easy and peaceful, not counting that I had really bad feeling about the Draft Lottery. Paul let me be, maybe he was a bit scared, that I would kick him again, or hit him, I have very fast hands also... And Dave and Chris were still in alert always when he was near. For my relief Dave didn't heard about the kick, I didn't want him to do anything, what he might regret later. Caitlin was in good care and during that whole June, always when I and Dave wanted some 'private time' Chris or someone else was watching after her. Paul and Dave had a title match again and naturally Paul had no change against Dave, which was a enormous pleasure for me...
When the Draft Lottery day came, I was in Toronto, where I and Caitlin spent couple of days. Late that night my mobile chirped and I quessed, that it was Chris or Dave calling about the lottery. It was my dear brother.
"Hey, sis."
"Hey, bro. So, how was the lottery event?"
"It was alright." Chris sounded a bit weird.
"So, who is coming and who is going?"
"Well, I have some good news and some bad news." He said. "Which one you want first?"
"Good, of course."
"John Cena was drafted to RAW." Chris said and I almost fell down from couch.
"Really? That's so awesome!" I was really excited, now I could work with John also.
"I thought you think so." Chris laughed a little, but I could sense that he got serious again. "But that is basically only good news."
"Just shoot." I sighed though I had the feeling, that I wasn't going to like what he was going to say.
"Benoit, Jay and Randy are going to Smackdown. Though I think that Randys going doesn't bother you so much."
"Oh no." That wasn't good news, I had always liked Chris, and Jay was one of my best friends. I actually didn't know what to think about Randys leaving. I had still bad feeling though...
"That's not all, is it?" I asked and I felt my heart jumping up and down.
"No, it isn't." Chris hesitated a little. "Dave was also drafted to Smackdown."
There it was, the reason for my bad feeling.
"Oh shit." I felt my hands shaking. "Chris, I have to go now." I said, because I felt that I just couldn't talk anymore.
"Yeah, oh shit." Chris stated. "Don't worry, though. This isn't the end anyway. And Tinnie, Dave said that he will call you tomorrow."
"Okay, bye Chris."
"Bye."
When I disconnected, I felt tears in my cheeks. Chris was right, this wasn't the end, but I just didn't know, how I and Dave would go on. I had used to see him almost daily basis and now I would see him, how often? Once in a month? Hardly ever?
