I own only Con and Caitlin

Thanks for reviews!


Chapter 23

Dave did call me on the very next morning like Chris had said. I heard from his voice, that although he was excited to go to Smackdown, he was also thinking that what was going to happen with our relationship. We agreed anyway that we would call each others a lot and when there was events where were both, RAW and Smackdown wrestlers, we would see each others at least then. I knew that I would miss him anyway and he said that hemissed me and Caitlin.

When I and Caitlin got back on tour, I felt really weird, when I got to the arena. The main reason for the feeling was, that I knew that Dave, Jay, Chris Benoit and Randy wouldn't be there. But I was also really happy that John was now there and of course Chris, Trish, Amy and other my close friends were still there. I had hardly got inside the arena, when my dear brother practically jumped on my neck, it was his fortune that Caitlin was sitting on stroller.

"Geez Chris, what's up with this overwhelming greeting?" I said when he had let me finally off from his tight hug.

"It is so nice to see you again. And Caitlin, of course." He taking her from the stroller.

"It's nice to see you too." I grinned. "Have you seen John already?"

"Yeah, he is here somewhere." Chris said. "Actually he asked you already. He wants to see you and Caitlin."

"Alright. If you see him again, tell him that he should come to see me and Caitlin to first aid."

"Okay. But can I take Caitlin with me? I want to introduce her to guys who came from Smackdown."

"Alright then." I sighed, I knew that there was no point to disagree, he would take her anyway, no matter what I said.

I went to the first aid room and talked with Matthew at the same time when we were putting the room ready for the show. Trish and Amy came to see me soon and both of them ensured me that Daves move to Smackdown wouldn't effect our realtionship, they thought that at least Dave wouldn't let it affect to it. I agreed on that Dave would be faithful and would do anything to keep us together. But although I loved him, I wasn't so sure about myself, I have sometimes noticed that I have tendency to get jealous and I do jump to wrong conclusions quite often.

Just when the show had started, there was knock on the door and then it was opened.

"The Champ is in the house!" I heard a male voice yelling.

I had been waiting John already, but he startlet me a little, because I was deep in my thoughts. Mainly I was thinking the latest conversation which I had with Dave over the phone. I got myself together fast though and dashed to move only to find myself stumble to bag, which was on the middle of the room. I fell down to floor and hit my head to floor, fortunatelly it wasn't a hard hit.

"Oh my gosh, are you alright?" John kneeled next to me.

I was just laying on the floor my eyes closed. My head did hurt a little, but mostly I was just embarrased.

"Yeah, I am." I opened my eyes and stared at John, whose face was just inches from mine. "Back off, your face is too close."

"Oh yes, you are alright." John laughed and helped me up. "You didn't have to bow to me, though I am the Champ."

"Ha-ha." I said dryly. "But none the less, I am so happy that you are here."

Then I hugged him tightly.

"You look good." John smiled to me. "Despite your little diving there..."

"Thanks. You don't look bad either." I grinned. "But I guess you know that already."

"Yes, I do." John grinned. "I am quite a handsome guy."

"Don't try that over acted self confidence on me. I have used to it." I smiled sweetly. "That has no affect on me what so ever."

"I guess you're right. Considering you have worked for a while here. And you're brother is one of the cockiest guys I know. And you are seeing Dave Batista." John grinned.

"Yeah, I know all about cocky guys and how to handle them."

"So, how are you?" John raised his eyebrows. "Missing Dave already?"

"I'm alright. Though it was weird to come here, when I knew that Dave isn't waiting for me." I admitted, but I wasn't really up to talking about Dave. "Did you see Caitlin already?"

"Yes, I did. Chris came with her to my lockerroom. She is a really beautiful girl."

"Yeah, she is. And although she doesn't walk yet, she is really fast on her moves." I said.

"Chris told me that she is just like you were at her age. You both did go fast on your fours and always doing something bad." John laughed.

"I don't think that Chris is the right person to ask about mischiefs I or Caitlin have done. He was a real horror child, I have lot of stories about things what he did, when he was little." I smiled.

"I would love to hear everything about those things. But you have to tell about those later, I have an appearance on the ring very soon." John stated.

"Alright. Strike them dead." I smiled. "And welcome to RAW."

"Thanks." He said when he opened the door, then he turned back to me. "Don't worry about Dave."

When John had closed the door after him, I stared the door for a moment. What the hell was that? Of course I wasn't worried about Dave. I sighed, seemed like I had a new weirdly behaving man in my life. I had a small feeling of pain in back of my head and when I was holding a icepack on it, Paul Wight, who is known as Big Show in the business, came in. He was one of the guys, who came from Smackdown to RAW in Draft Lottery. I had met him before, but we didn't know each others so well. Though, I knew that he was really nice man off stage, although on stage he was acting quite scary. I taped his knee and we talked while I was doing that. He seemed to be really nice guy and he is huge! Dave is big, but even he looks small comparing to Paul.

When Chris had had his match, he came to first aid and I took care of him. My poor brother had been beat quite badly by Trips and I had quite a work with him, specially when he didn't sit still, he was turning and moving all the time. When Chris' match was over, I gave Caitlin on Trish's care, because I didn't think that seeing her uncle all bloody was too good for her. The whole time that Caitlin had been on the tour with us, I had been making sure that she wouldn't see any badly beaten guys, because I knew that it wouldn't be good for her, though she was so young, that she didn't understand fully yet, what was going on around there.

When the last match of the night started, Trish brought Caitlin back to me and Amy came with them. We talked until the match was over and when my working day was over, I and Caitlin drove to the hotel with Chris. It was strange feeling to be in the hotel room when there was only two of us. I was already so used Dave being there, that I didn't know how be. I watched TV for a moment and then I decided to call Dave. It was already the second time on that day, and he sounded a little amused. But what can a woman do, when she misses her man?

After the call I went to bed and for my little surprise I fell asleep immediately, probably I was just so tired, because I thought that it would take hours before I could actually sleep.

The next week was a little hard for me, because some of the people I liked and had used that they are around there, weren't there. Mainly I mean Dave, but I missed Benoit and Jay also. And Randy... Well, I can't say that I missed him, but it was still strange that he wasn't around either. John was spending a lot of time with me despite Chris, who was glaring at him in a bit angry way. Of course I spoke with Dave on the mobile and he enjured me that we would see each others soon enough. Well, I did see him, when I watched Smackdown from telly, but it isn't the same thing as seeing him face to face. I guess Chris was a little worried about me again, but he didn't say anything, but AJ did. He called me couple of times during the next week after Dave was drafted to Smackdown, and said in his blunt way, that he hoped that we would still be together though we saw rarely and that he was a bit worried about me. I have such a good friend in him, sometimes annoying friend, yes. But I still love AJ like my brother.

I found one good result out of this Daves signing to Smackdown, Paul was off my back and I was sure that I wouldn't have to be worried about him anymore.

Exactly week after the Draft Lottery when we had a show, Chris came to first aid room just when I was feeding Caitlin from baby bottle. He stood by the door for the moment smiling and finally he got his mouth open.

"That is quite a idyllic sight, mother feeding her daugher. At least you don't have your breast naked."

"That wouldn't be too wise in here." I said watching at him. "Anyone could enter, like you did now."

"You're right. I wouldn't like to see your tits." He laughed a little.

"Is there something wrong in my tits then?" I raised a little my eye brows and didn't let him see how amused I was.

"No... I didn't mean that... But you are my sister." My brother stammered and I bursted to laugher.

"Relax, Chris. I know what you mean."

Caitlin had stopped eating and when I had put her to the stroller, I turned to Chris.

"Was there something you wanted?"

"Actually yes. I thought, that if you wanted to come out with us tonight."

"But Caitlin..." I started a bit hesitantly.

"Someone who isn't coming out with us, could look after her." Chris interrupted me. "Actually Glen promised to do that already."

It was so typical for Chris. He does sometimes, even too often, decisions on my behalf.

"Seems like you have arranged everything already." I said a bit dryly.

"Yes I have." Chris grinned, but then he got serious again. "Tinnie, during last week you have locked yourself to the room with Caitlin after every show. I know that you miss Dave, but it shouldn't be the reason for not coming out with us at least once in a while."

Chris had a point there, I missed Dave, but it wasn't an excuse to spend all the time in my hotelroom talking with him on the phone, thought it was the thing which kept me going on that moment.

"I don't know..."

"I'm sure that Glen will manage very well with Caitlin. And I, Trish, Amy and others really hope that you will come with us tonight."

"Maybe I could come..." I said thoughtfully. I did want to let some steam out once in a while.

"Good." Chris said simply and after he had ruffled gently Caitlin's head, he left the room.

The rest of the evening was relatively easy for my point of view, all I had to do was to tape couple of ankles and then I cleaned the room with Matthew while Caitlin slept in her stroller.

I drove with Chris to the hotel and when we got there, I carried Caitlin, who was just woken up, to our room when Chris took her stroller. I took a fast shower while my brother was watching after Caitlin. I started to get ready for the evening and let Chris to go to his own room to do his own things, what ever they were. It isn't easy to try to do make up and watch after Caitlin at the same time, but somehow I managed to do that. When I finally were ready, I went to Glens room and after I had given few advices to him, I left Caitlin in his care. Then I went to knock on Chris' door and wasn't surprised at when I saw that he wasn't ready yet. My brother is like women, I almost always have to wait for him, I can't understand why it usually takes so long for him to get ready.
