Ch 66
It felt strange to Lisa being back at work after her long break. Vince had gone out of his way setting up one of locker rooms with toys and everything Kelly and Rose would need while their parents worked. Lisa wasn't sure if it was good or bad to be back at work. She couldn't shake the fears of seeing Paul again and she kept checking around looking for Shane.
"Mommy," Kelly's sweet little voice broke her thoughts as Lisa knelt down to pick her up.
"Did you find your Uncle Glen?" Lisa asked her.
"Yes, she did," Glen's voice filled the room. "Of course she had help from her Uncle Adam and Rose." Adam entered the room carrying Rose sleeping peacefully on his shoulder.
"Looks like Rose was a lot of help," Lisa laughed as Adam carefully sat down not wanting to wake the baby. "Where did you guys leave Mark?"
"He wanted to work out a bit longer. He needs to get rid of some of that anger before he sees Paul tonight," Glen was worried about Mark and all the built up aggression he was feeling towards Paul. It wouldn't take much for Mark to take things too far in the ring.
"Do you think he will be okay tonight?" Lisa asked worrying about her husband even more.
"You'll be with him. I'm sure you can keep him under control," Glen smiled at her.
"I agree with that. I think you're the only one that Mark would listen to in a fit of rage," Adam softly said not wanting to wake Rose.
"I don't want Mark to get to that point," Lisa sighed hoping nothing bad would happen.
"What point?" Mark came in to the room toweling off after his workout looking directly at his wife for answers. She bites her lip not wanting to say the wrong thing and upset him. "Darling just say what's on your mind."
"We are worried about what you will do to Paul," she took a deep breathe telling him her concerns.
"Don't worry. I'm not going to do anything to jeopardize our family life," Mark came towards her lightly running his fingers along her cheek. "I love you and I love our kids more than anything in this world. I will not lose all that because of two jackasses but I can't just sit back and not teach them both a lesson. I'm not going to live life always looking over my shoulder wondering when those bastards are going to strike. Please darling I need you to trust me and stop worrying."
"Mark, I do trust you," Lisa wrapped her arms around his waist. "I don't want to live in fear either."
"Then darling let me handle this the way I need to," Mark kissed her forehead feeling Glen and Adam staring at him. "You two stop worrying too. I need you two to keep an eye on our kids while we are out there. If anything happens in that ring, John will be out there in two seconds."
"Where is John anyway?" Glen asked not seeing John since they arrived.
"Where he always is lately with Trish," Lisa smiled happy her brother had finally found someone to make him happy.
"That is good for John. He needs a good woman to keep him in line," Adam said making Glen nod in agreement. Rose slightly stirred letting out a little whimper making the room very quiet.
"You two better go get ready for your segment. We will take care of the munchkins," Glen ushered Mark and Lisa towards the door.
"We won't be long. If Rose wakes up change her and keep her amused till I get back to feed her," Lisa tried to think of anything else she needed to tell Glen and Adam.
"We got it under control," Glen smiled at her.
"Thanks guys," Mark gently pulled Lisa by her arm down the hall. "Darling, our little ones will be fine. The faster we get this done the faster we get back to them."
"I know Hon," Lisa stopped in the hall listening to the sounds of crowd. "I'm actually nervous about going out there it feels like years since I've been out there."
"Nothing to be nervous about, you will have me by your side the whole time," Mark leaned down kissing her taking all her worries away.
Raw opened with Eric Bischoff in his office promising that tonight he would add another match to Wrestlemania that involved the return of two wrestlers to Raw that very night. JR and The King kept building on Bischoff's announcement about the surprise wrestlers returning. Halfway through Raw, Bischoff made his way to the ring with a wide smile.
"Its time for my promise to come true," he said as the arena dimmed and the Undertaker's music filled the arena bringing the fans to their feet. They cheered as he appeared on the ramp with his motorcycle looking out over the sea of fans before riding down circling the ring. Undertaker sat on his motorcycle for a moment then entered the ring staring Bischoff down.
"I would like to be the first to welcome you back and thank you for staying with Raw," Bischoff was gushing with joy that he still had the Undertaker on his show. "Now for my next surprise, you didn't come alone did you?"
"No, I brought someone with me," Undertaker paused letting the suspense build.
"Really who?" Bischoff motioned towards the crowd.
"My wife," Taker said letting a smile form on his face as her "Devil Woman" entrance music rang out and she appeared on the ramp to the fans' cheers.
"Oh my she looks amazing, are you sure she had a baby JR?" the King exclaimed checking out how sexy she looked in the tight black mini skirt and light blue tank top. Undertaker's eyes stayed glued to his wife as she entered the ring acknowledging the fans.
"I would like to welcome you back to and thank you. I also want to congratulate both of you on your new daughter," Bischoff spoke as Taker put his arm around Lisa's shoulders. Suddenly Triple H'smusic filled the arena as Lisa looked around with fear in her eyes.
"Don't worry angel I'm not coming out there," Hunter appeared on the titantron with a smug cocky smile. "Congratulations on your new little girl. I hear she is quite the beauty like her mom. I've missed having you around angel. You will never understand how much I've missed you and the lengths I have gone too to keep a piece of you with me." Hunter paused looking like he was going to cry for a moment then he wiped his eyes till his evil grin returned.
"Why can't you just let go? We will never be together again. What the hell do you mean keeping a piece of me Hunter?" Lisa stared at his smug smile knowing he was up to something.
"You'll find out tonight angel, but not now," Hunter paused as the camera zoomed out showing he was in a locker room all decorated for a celebration with white balloons everywhere, "I'm in the middle of my own celebration right now and by the end of tonight you two won't be the only two getting congratulated."
"Enough of the god damn mind games Hunter, what the hell do you want?" Taker took the mic from his wife.
"You took everything I wanted! You ripped her right out my life, making her your wife andhaving a child with her. Those were all of my dreams you destroyed," Hunter started to get angry. "Now I'm going to return the favor. Later tonight how about we have a warm up match with no titles on the line for Wrestlemania? You and your sexy wife face me and my new partner in an inter-gender tag match."
"You got it!" Taker couldn't wait to get his hands on Hunter.
"Good, I'll see you soon too," Hunter walked away as the camera panned to a wedding cake making Lisa gasp. She looked at Taker wondering what the hell was going on.
Lisa came backstage almost running to their locker room with Mark right behind her.
"Lisa, where in the hell are you going?" Mark caught her arm.
"I'm getting our children and leaving this arena before Paul hurts us again. This wasn't supposed to happen. Our first return match was supposed to be at Wrestlemania. Now Paul has conned us in to a match tonight against him and an opponent we have no clue about," Lisa ran her hands through her hair trying to figure out what Paul was up to and control the sickening feeling of dread that was overtaking her.
"Darling, there is something else making you want to leave. I know you well enough to know you're not afraid of this upcoming match no matter who Paul brings to the ring. I need you to please tell me what's bothering you," Mark stared into her eyes.
"Mark, something awful is going to happen. I can feel it. Paul has had months to plot his revenge and I'm sure he went to the extremes. We both know how sick and twisted he is," Lisa sighed wanting to get as far away from the arena as she could.
"We can't run from this. We will face whatever he throws our way and get through it," Mark cupped her chin. "Darling, don't be afraid of him. Our love is strong and can get through anything."
"I know we can," she said as he pulled her into a tight embrace kissing her forehead. They heard hurried footsteps coming down the hall as Shane appeared looking agitated and very upset.
"I don't want any trouble. Have you two seen Paul?" Shane kept his distance seeing the anger immediately creep into Mark's eyes. Lisa lightly nudged Mark not having to say a word to make him understand she didn't want him to do anything to Shane.
"No, we haven't. You look upset, something wrong?" Lisa asked watching him closely. Shane stared at her for a minute like he wanted to tell her something then he shook his head no.
"Nothing is wrong. I just need to find him soon," Shane tried to stay calm not wanting to let Mark and Lisa in to the fact he was extremely pissed off at Paul and there was no telling what he would do when he finally found him. Shane swallowed his pride deciding it was time to end his problems with Mark and Lisa because he might need their help soon. "I want to apologize for all the shit I have done to you two."
"What?" Mark was stunned not believing Shane was apologizing.
"I'm not good at apologizes and I have no excuses for what I did. I just saw Kelly," Shane swallowed hard. "I've never seen her so happy before not even when she spent time with Christina and me. I might not like losing my daughter but I know it is the best for her. You don't have to accept my apologizes but I wanted to tell you both anyway. I want you both to know I'm not going to both you anymore. I'm done with helping Paul ruin your lives."
"Shane, do you know what he is up to tonight?" Lisa asked hoping Shane had some clue.
"All I know is he sent me this note," Shane handed it Lisa.
"Shane thanks for all your help buddy but I don't need your help anymore. By the way its time for one of your fears to come true," Lisa read the note out loud handing it to Mark.
"Looks like what goes around comes around," Mark was satisfied Shane was about to get a taste of his own medicine.
"I know I deserve this but what about you two. How much more can you take?" Shane stomped his foot.
"We will be fine," Mark held onto Lisa tighter. "I want to talk to you more later so don't disappear. We have to get ready for the match."
"I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here searching the arena for Paul," Shane started off down the hall again.
"This isn't good Mark," Lisa felt her bad feeling growing.
"Darling, let's just face this and get it over with," Mark kissed her holding her close swearing he would do anything to protect her tonight.
Raw was coming to an end only leaving the inter-gender tag match. The fans exploded as Undertaker and Lisa made their entrance.
"Darling relax," Taker took her hand as the arena dimmed for Hunter's entrance. He didn't make them wait appearing from the darkness in his ring attire. He took his time getting to the ring showing no fear or hesitation as he climbed up on the apron doing his normal entrance. He smiled at Lisa motioning with his hand for someone to come out.
"What the hell?" Taker said the question Lisa was thinking as a tall athletic built female dressed in the same black tank top and black shorts with a red stripe down the sides as Lisamade her way to the ring wearing a black mask concealing her identity. Lisa watched the woman intently feeling like she knew her.
"Who is that? JR, do you know who that mystery lady is?" King asked as the woman joined Hunter on the apron.
"I have no idea King, but if she is involved with Hunter it means bad news for the Undertaker and his lovely wife," JR said as the lights came back up in the arena.
"Come on Hunter you and me," Taker spoke motioning for Lisa to leave the ring.
"Taker, don't you think we should let the ladies go first unless your wife is afraid," Hunter grinned at Lisa.
"I'm not afraid. I'll take her on," she stared into the other woman's blue eyes not able to shake the familiar feeling. Taker saw the look of determination on his wife's face leaving the ring as Hunter went to his corner. The other woman wasted no time lunging at Lisa's waist. Lisa moved just in time countering with a hard blow to the woman's back knocking her to the mat. She picked the girl up from the mat swinging her into the corner. Lisa waited as the girl clumsily climbed to the top rope. Lisa cornered the girl hitting her a few times before climbing up on the ropes using them to flip the girl out of the corner. The girl let out a scream as she hit the mat hard. The scream made Lisa stop staring at the woman on the mat trying to catch her breathe.
"What's wrong darling?" Taker asked as she backed up to their corner.
"I don't know. I think I know her," Lisa met the woman's blue eyes trying to figure out who she was as Hunter watched with a satisfied grin.
"What's the matter angel? Why are you backing off? Come on where is all your hellfire?" Hunter tormented her as the woman crawled to the corner tagging him in.
"Screw you Hunter," Lisa didn't even think as she went towards Hunter slapping him making the fans roar. Hunter laughed looking at her with a cocky smile as the referee kept Taker out of the ring. "Who is she?" Lisa pointed to the woman still wobbling from the beating she took.
"Why don't you make me tell you," Hunter grabbed her wrist as she tried to hit him again. Bradshaw and Trish quickly appeared rushing down to the ring getting the referee's attention. Hunter immediately let Lisa go as Taker entered the ring. Hunter motioned for a microphone. "I was hoping your brother came out here. I wanted him to be out her for this. You really want to know who my tag team partner is?" Hunter stared directly at Lisa as Bradshaw entered the ring looking at the woman. Bradshaw felt the same familiar feeling as Lisa noticing the mystery woman avoided looking at him.
"Yes, no more games who is she?" Lisa felt her heart start to race as Hunter motioned for the girl to enter the ring.
"After you married the Undertaker, it got me to thinking how nice it would be to settle down. The only problem was my dream girl was unavailable," Hunter put his arm around the mysterious woman. "So I had no choice but to marry the best next thing." Hunter paused feeling pure delight as confusion and fear filled Lisa's eyes. This was his moment he was going to hurt her as bad as she hurt him and the best part of his plan is this was only the beginning of the pain he had in store for Lisa. "Ladies and gentleman, I would like you all to meet my wife." Hunter pulled the mask off slowly letting a cascade of the same color blonde hairas Lisa's loose as Taker and Bradshaw both watched on in horror. Lisa's heart leaped into her throat when Hunter removed the mask completely revealing it was her own sister Christina.
