A/N - Okay so apparently Randy is engaged now and has been for a month. sigh But, in my story he isn't, just to let you all know.

Chapter 3 – Getting Ready for the Next

It had been almost a week since Alex had received her job with the WWE. It was now Sunday and Alex was getting ready for her weekly dinner with the family. Tonight was the dinner where she was finally going to tell them all about how she quit her job and how she was all ready to start her new job. She knew for a fact that they would be hesitant about her traveling around the country, and occasionally the world, with the WWE but they weren't going to stop her. She wanted their blessing but it wasn't a requirement. Alex knew what she wanted to do and she was going to follow through with it no matter what.

Alex was just taking the chicken out of the oven when there was a knock on the door. "Come on in." Alex yelled from the kitchen.

"Hey sweetheart, it's just us." The sound of Alex's mother's voice echoed from the hall into the kitchen.

"Yeah, I figured mom." Alex said with a little smile. "Who is with you?"

Her mother walked into the kitchen followed by her father and Natalie. "You know you don't have to yell anymore, I'm right here."

"Alright mom." Alex replied in a softer voice. "Natalie, where is Andrew?"

Natalie just rolled her eyes. "We broke up a couple days ago. He was such a jerk!"

"Aww, I'm sorry." Alex moved towards her sister and wrapped her arm around her. "Are you okay?"

Natalie pushed her away and then crossed her arms across her chest. "I'm fine."

"Alright, new subject." Alex turned back to her mother. "Jack, Annie, and the kids are coming, right?"

"Oh no, Jack didn't call you? They couldn't make it this weekend."

Alex smile dropped. "This is the second weekend in a row!"

"I know sweetheart. They will try to be here next weekend." Alex just put on a smile. She knew that they probably could come next weekend but she knew that she wouldn't be. She was flying out next Sunday evening to start her new job.

Alex turned back to her dinner preparation. Her mother walked over and tried to start helping her but Alex said that she could handle it. Shortly after that dinner was ready to be served. The dinner party was considerably smaller than usual, with only Alex, Natalie, and their parents at the table.

There wasn't really very much conversation at the dinner table because everyone could tell that Alex was upset about her brother and his family not being able to be there. No one wanted to say anything that would make her even more upset so they just discussed idle things like the weather and how Natalie was doing in school. Finally when everyone was finished eating, Alex couldn't take it anymore and just had to say something about what she was doing.

"Alright, as you can all tell I am pretty upset that Jack and his family couldn't make it tonight but there is a reason for that. I have an announcement to make and I wanted to tell everyone at the same time but I guess since they aren't here I'll just have to tell you all and then you can pass on the information."

Alex's mother immediately perked up at the mention of an announcement wondering what kind of earth shattering news Alex could possibly have to share. "Go on dear."

"Thank you mother, I will." Alex took a deep breath. "As you all know a few months ago I spent some time traveling with the WWE. I had an amazing time doing so and ever since I've gotten back I haven't quite been myself."

"Yes, sweetheart we've all noticed." Her mother interrupted.

"Mother." Alex practically yelled. "Will you just let me finish what I'm trying to say?"

"Yes, of course. I'm sorry."

"Thank you. Anyways as I was saying I haven't been the same and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why. I decided that it was because I really enjoyed my time with the WWE and leaving was really hard." Alex took another deep breath to get herself ready for the next thing that she had to say. "So, I quit my job."

Alex's mother shot up from her chair. "You did what?"

Alex's father stood up to calm his wife. "Helen, calm down and let Alex speak."

Helen turned to her husband. "Gary don't tell me what to do right now. Our daughter just told us that she quit her job and I don't quite understand why."

Natalie just looked around at everyone wondering what exactly her sister was thinking. "Alex, why would you quit your job? You love teaching. I mean you've always wanted to be a teacher."

Alex sighed. She expected this type of reaction from her family. "I did always want to be a teacher and it was an amazing experience for a while. I love doing it. Now though, I'm tired of it. I actually quit my job a while ago I just didn't want to tell you all about it until I had another job."

Helen had sat down by now and was trying to calm herself. "So does that mean that you have another job then?"

Alex's face immediately brightened and she smiled. "Yes, actually I do. I interviewed for it last week and they gave it to me on the spot."

"So…What exactly is your new job?" Gary questioned.

Alex took another deep breath. Here was the other hard part of the conversation. "I'm a writer…with the WWE."

"So, let me get this straight. You're going to be writing the scripts for WWE programming." Natalie questioned.

"Yeah, sort of. I'll be working on the scripts for the Raw brand which is the brand that I traveled with for a week."

Natalie thought about that for a second and then got a worried look on her face. "Wait, does that mean that you have to move?"

"I'm not moving but I won't be here either. I'm actually going to be a traveling writer. I'm going to be traveling around the country with the WWE writing and making any last minute changes to the scripts for Raw."

"You're going to be doing what?" Helen questioned.

"Mom, calm down. I'll be home every so often but most of the time I'll be traveling."

"Alex, I really don't think that this is such a great idea." Helen had a worried expression on her face. She was glad that her daughter was doing what she wanted to do and not just settling but traveling around the country was a big change from teaching third graders.

"I'm sorry you feel that way but I'm doing it no matter what you think. I leave next Sunday so this will be our last Sunday family dinner until the next Sunday that I'm home. I'm not really sure when that will be." Alex stood up and started clearing the dirty dishes from the table. After bringing some dishes into the kitchen, she walked back into the dining room. "You know what? I wanted an approval from all of you but I don't need it. I'm old enough to make my own decisions and this is what I want to do. If you all can't accept that, I'm sorry but I'm doing it anyways. So, you might as well just support me in this."

Helen stood up and walked over to her daughter. Alex was shocked when her mother leaned in and gave her a hug. "Sweetheart, I'm glad that you are doing something that you want to do and I'll support you in that. I'm just surprised, that is all. I will also miss you if you are going to be on the road so much."

Alex smiled. "Don't worry mom, I'll call you."

"Thanks sweetheart. That is all that I ask. Just because we aren't going to see you as much, we don't want to be shut out of your life completely."

Alex grinned. "As much as I want to do that sometimes…I would never want to shut you all out, even you mom." Everyone just laughed.

As the group was leaving that night, Alex reminded her mother to let Jack and his family know what was going on. She then shut the door and went back into the kitchen to finish cleaning up the dishes from dinner. Alex couldn't help but think that her conversation with her family went slightly better than she expected. She was glad that it was just out of the way now.

The following week Alex spent getting ready to leave and getting everything settled before leaving. She was starting to get really excited but also really nervous. She was wondering what Randy would think of her working for the WWE, she was wondering if she would really like traveling, and she was just wondering what her future had in store for her. The only thing she did know though, was that she couldn't wait for what happened next in her life. No matter what it was she was ready for it.

Katie 05 – If you really trust me, don't cry. It should be more to your liking in a couple of chapters…I think.

wwechaingangbabe – It's alright since you email me so well, I'll forgive you for not reviewing on the first chapter. A catfight? Hmm, I don't think so…maybe some words but Alex is above doing a catfight.
RKOGirl – Don't slap your head! I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself.
Insane Zula – Oh jeez Maxine! I don't know what I would do without your rants. They make me laugh. Randy does need was ass whipped, huh?

Mrs. Orton- Cena – I love drama too! Don't worry, I have a feeling this story will have plenty of it.
Roxxy1984 – Drama? Yeah, I'm a fan of it too. Could you tell? You'll have to wait until next time to see if Randy will freak out or not.
101mizzpoet101 – I think Randy does genuinely like Stacy but he definitely likes Alex more. Now what will he do about that?
janet – Yeah, sequels are difficult. It's easier to do an ending when you know there will be a sequel but when trying to do an ending to a sequel, it's difficult.
Evandiel – Me? Make it easy on you? Now, what makes you think I wouldn't do a thing like that? HeHeHeHe!
MissPhillippinesSuperStar – Hmm, good question.

Cenafan14 – Thanks!
wwefan01 – You're not the only one glad that I'm making a sequel.

I am in shock right now. I got twenty reviews for the last chapter alone! You all are awesome and seriously made my day when I realized that. I hope you all continue reviewing and enjoying the story. I'm sure you were all looking for that convo between Alex and Randy to be in this chapter but it should be in the next chapter. This was more of just a filler chapter. The next chapter will be Alex getting on the road again. I'm sure you all can't wait for that.
