"What the hell?" Lily was surprised when she tried the key to the front door of her San Antonio home, the lock wouldn't turn. She rang the doorbell and seconds later her mom answered.

She looked as if she hadn't sleep the entire night. "Yeah, after he ranted at me for keeping this from him, he changed the locks. I was trying to stop him when you called this morning which is why I couldn't answer."

"I'm sorry I dragged you into this mess," Lily said and her mom nodded in acceptance of Lily's apology. "He beat up Finn and said I acted like a common whore."

"Oh Lily," her mom pulled her in for a hug which was Lily's cue to cry. "He was just upset but it was still unnecessary. He didn't mean it."

"I know. I know," Lily acknowledged, looking around. "I've never seen him so angry before. Is he here?"

"No. He left after he changed the locks. I tried calling but his phone was turned off. He didn't take a bag with him so he can't be gone too far."

Lily yawned. "I'm going to my room for a bit. I'm really tired."

"Yeah, I think you should get some rest. I'm sure you had a rough night. I'll try to have lunch on the table by the time you're ready to come out…"

Lily didn't know how many hours of sleep she got but it wasn't enough because she was still tired. Her phone rang. She quickly grabbed it with fumbling hands hoping that it was Finn but it was just Della. Lily sent it to voicemail only for it to ring again seconds later. Sighing, she slid the bar to answer. "Hello."

"Hey, you're on speaker. We're all in the locker room together backstage," Della said.

"Why so they can each take turns telling me how mad they are at me?"

"Mad? For what? All you did was keep quiet to avoid jeopardizing your storyline. We're calling to check on you because you obviously weren't okay last night and then your secret leaks in a very unflattering way."

"I'm just glad to finally be able to make sense of all this," a voice in the background that she recognized as Sasha said.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry for accusing your father of having romantic interest in you and I'm sorry for the comment I made about his eye," Liv apologized

"I'm not particularly happy about you calling my cancer survivor uncle decrepit but all in all, I got the point you were trying to make," Nattie replied.

"We know the Lily we heard on the tape is not the Lily we see in here every Monday. You're not nearly as cutthroat as that video makes you seem," Alexa snorted.

"Okay, you guys aren't mad at me but the fans… They're lighting me up," Lily groaned.

"Oh please. Fans or marks and neckbeards? What don't they hate? You'll drive yourself crazy caring about their opinions," Della scoffed. "I'm guessing you only focused on the negatives. I've been monitoring the situation and if I had to tally the percentages, 60% of the comments are positive, 20 are neutral and the other 20 are negative. When are you coming back?"

"I'm not sure yet," Lily sighed. It was pointless to return without Shawn by her side now that the cat was out of the bag. There was no way they could get away with not addressing it.

"Okay, we'll be here when you get back," Della replied. "Bye."

Lily rolled around in bed until it hit her. She shot up and dug around in her closet until she found a pair of camouflage boots.

Her mom was standing at the stove when Lily ran by. "Where are you going? The food is done."

"I know where dad is and I'm going to find him!" Lily yelled over her shoulder.

"Honey, I don't think that's a good idea," she warily called after her at the door.

Lily ignored her as she ducked into her car. She drove until she came upon Shawn's hunting land. She jumped across a small creek and kept through the trees until she came upon his deer stand high in the sky that she always referred to as a tree house.

Her foot snapped a twig on the ground and Shawn popped up pointing a gun down at her. She yelped in alarm.

"I thought you were a deer," his tone was flat as he dropped his weapon out of view. Lily could see in his face that he was still pissed. "What do you want?"

"To talk to you if you want to climb down…"

"I don't…"

"Okay, I'll come up," Lily didn't make it up two steps before he yelled down at her.

"Stop! I think it's best if we communicate this way and keep our distance," he said. "Lily, I am so sorry about what I said and did to you. Tomorrow night we can go on with a father-daughter promo as planned..is what I was going to say to you last night."

"What happened?"

"I felt like shit for speaking to my baby girl that way. I knew my comments were harsh and me taking your big moment away was worse. I talked to Hunter about it and he agreed. I went to your room last night…" he paused and Lily dropped her head knowing where this was headed. "When I knocked you didn't answer. I know how sensitive you are so I panicked. I tried to kick the door in but of course I don't have the lower body strength that I used to have so I settled for calling the front desk. The time it took the clerk to arrive was the longest 4 minutes of my life as images of you hanging from the ceiling or on the bathroom floor with your wrist slit flooded my brain. But when your door was opened, you were nowhere to be found. I knew the next best place to look. I didn't even have to knock because I heard what I needed to hear. Those sounds told me that needed of you are remorseful for what you've done. I made the right decision not to go out there and let you disgrace my legacy!"

Lily was embarrassed but it was time to stand up for herself. "First of all, let's not pretend as if your legacy is squeaky clean. A simple Google search can pull up your 90's dirt. If me being a consenting adult in a relationship is a disgrace to your legacy so be it. What do we even have to be remorseful about besides lying to you? Why can't I live my life, do my own thing and love who I want?"

"Love. What the hell do you know about love?" Shawn scoffed, shaking his head. "If you love this guy already it means you're nothing more than a child who clearly isn't ready for an adult relationship."

"I actually meant to say date who I want but if I do come to love him, so what? I already know that I love being around him, I love talking to him, I love his accent, I love his smile and I love feeling the heat in his chest when I sleep on it at night."

"How dare you reference what you do in bed with him? Lily, you're really trying my patience right now," Shawn hissed. "Come to your senses, the guy is damn near 40!"

"Age is nothing but a number. What matters is how the person acts and we're perfect together. I don't think of his age and I'm sure he doesn't think of mine."

Another twig snapped in the distance and Shawn grabbed his gun. "Lily I swear to God if you brought him here."

"What are you going to do? Sacrifice the rest of your life and what's left of your career because you can't handle your daughter growing up?" Lily asked. "You can calm down because Finn is in Ireland right now."

"Good, I hope he's been deported!"

"If he's deported, I'm going to be deported with him! Maybe I'll give him a green card marriage while I'm there so he can come back," Lily smiled, backing away. "I love you, Dad and I know you don't approve but in the end right or wrong, it's my decision to make."

"Lily! Lily!" He yelled as she walked away.

"Awww, do you want to go with me?" Lily asked Frankie when he jumped inside her suitcase. She was on her knees packing when the floor creaked behind her. "Mom, I'm sure Dad has contacted you and instructed you to stop me but I can't. I need to see him even if I have to go to Ireland to do it."

"Don't worry I'm not going to stop you. My original issue with Him was his age and what you two did that night escalated the matter. I was keeping you apart to avoid what happened Sunday night but now that it's hit the fan, what's the point? When I met your father he was a drugged out asshole with five or six ring rats in rotation. Everybody said that he was wrong for me but guess what? We fell in love and we still are to this day. Finn's already miles ahead of what I had to work with and he seems like a nice guy. The point is, if Fergal makes you happy, go to him. I'll deal with Shawn."


After 13 hours when Lily arrived in Bray, County Wicklow, she shivered and scolded herself for not checking the weather before packing. She stopped by the tourist gift shop and picked up an 'I love (with a clover instead of a heart) Ireland' sweater.

Lily: I made it.

Mom: Great. Be safe. I don't know about the time zone over there but text me every night before you go to bed I don't care how late or early it is here

Lily: Will do. Is dad still mad?

Mom: Yep, still pouting

The people seemed really nice. She didn't feel scared or uncomfortable walking the streets alone. She tried to call Finn but there was no answer which worried her. What if she came all this way and he didn't want to see her?

Lily walked until she noticed a shady looking guy leaning against a wall in a long black coat, smoking a cigarette. "Hi, would you happen to know where Fintan and Leonie Devitt live?"

The guy looked her up and down before blowing a cloud of smoke. "I don't know how things are done in America but here we don't give away information on private citizens to foreign teenagers."

Lily sighed, pulling out her wallet. "How much?"

"40."

"20," Lily replied, taking the bill out of her wallet which he gladly accepted. Lily typed the address into her Google Maps as he gave it.

When Lily came upon the house, she took a deep breath before knocking.

"Hello?" an older blonde lady answered the door.

Lily cleared her throat. "Hi, is Fi...Fergal home?"

"Are you a fan?" her brows knitted in confusion.

"Who's at the door, Leonie?" an older man who looked a lot like Finn joined her side.

"She says she's here to see Fergal."

"I'm a friend of his. He told me that he was coming here and I decided to pay him a visit," Lily said showing them his text.

"A friend of his," his mom clutched her pearls, taking an intense look at Lily's face. "How old are you, dear?"

"I'm 13 and pregnant with his baby. At least I think it's his, that was a long night. I'm here to discuss a hush money settlement. Oh and my parents kicked me out so I'll need shelter as well which is why I have all these bags," Lily replied with a straight face. Finn's mom looked like she was ready to faint. "Just kidding about my age and the pregnancy. I'm 18, I wrestle for WWE and I travel with Fergal on the road. My name is Lily."

His mother blinked in recognition. "Lilith?"

"Yep, that's what he calls me," Lily nodded.

Finn's mom quickly leaned forward to hug her. "Come inside where it's warm."

His dad grabbed her bags. "You got my boy in a lot of trouble but if he thinks you're worth it, so do we."

"Oh, he told you about that…" Lily mumbled feeling awkward.

"We don't keep secrets in the Devitt household," Finn's mom replied.

"Plus when I went to collect him at the airport he looked like a broken soldier so he had to give us an explanation," Finn's dad added.

"I'm sorry that he had to go through that. Obviously I knew my dad wouldn't be too happy but I didn't think he'd attack Fergal. Is he here by the way?" the house sounded quiet and as loud as they were talking if he was there he would've heard them and come out by now.

"No, he likes to get up into the mountains for some alone time when he comes back home," Finn's dad looked down at his watch. "He's been gone for about three hours so I expect him back soon."

"Can I get you anything?" Finn's Mom asked leading her into the kitchen. "Tea? Coffee?"

"Uh, if it's not too much trouble can I have an Irish coffee?" Lily requested.

Finn's mom returned a short while later with a photo album. Then she placed a tray of cookies and the Irish coffee in front of Lily on the dining room table.

"Thanks!" Lily took a big gulp and alcohol unexpectedly burned down her throat. She coughed and Finn's mom hurriedly brought her a glass of water which she sipped greedily. "What was that?"

"An Irish coffee," Finn's mom replied innocently. "Complete with coffee, brown sugar, cream and...Irish whisky."

"Ohhh. On the flight I read a brochure and under things to try in Ireland, Irish Coffee was listed and I assumed that it was regular caffeine…" Lily replied. "I feel so stupid."

"I figured as much but it was payback for your introduction," she laughed. "And don't feel stupid. I'm most certain Fergal will teach you a lot about these things during your stay. Now how about I serve you that again minus the alcohol."

"That'll be fine. Thanks," Lily flipped pages in the photo album until she returned. "Aww, he was so cute. Same smile. Was he a good boy?"

"Oh yes, I never had any trouble out of him Everyone loved Fergal."

"I can see why…"

"He speaks very highly of you and we are excited to have you," Finn's mom said positively and Lily tried not to blush. "Is he expecting you?"

"No, this trip was very spur of the moment. I tried to contact him before my flight and after I landed but he hasn't answered which is strange…"

"It's not strange. He actually doesn't…" Finn's mom trailed off when the front door opened and closed.

"Fergal, there's a girl here to see you," Lily heard Finn's dad say in the living room.

"A girl?" Finn asked.

"Yes, she's 13 and claiming she's pregnant with your baby. She's in there with your mam right now discussing a hush money settlement."

"What?!" Finn shouted, his rapid footsteps echoed on the floors. He looked pissed when he appeared at the dining room entrance but when he spotted Lily his expression smoothed almost instantly into a smile. "Lilith?"

"Hello semi-gorgeous," Lily laughed, acknowledging his bruises.

"Hello yourself," he closed in on her. "Not that I'm complaining but what are you doing here and why are you wearing the most 'hey, look at me I'm American!' tourist sweater you could find?"

"Well, you'd know I was coming if you actually answered my calls or responded to my texts," she replied. "I got off the plane wearing shorts. It was this sweater or the flu."

"Did you get my text?" he raised a brow.

"Yeah, the one that told me you were going home," she nodded.

"No, I sent a long paragraph when I landed covering a lot of things. It also said that I was going off the grid. I like to turn my phone off to avoid the outside world during my first few days home. With our schedule I don't have a lot of time to get back here so on rare occasions that I do, I want the full experience without distraction," he explained. "Do you think I'd ignore you on purpose? I would've been waiting on you at the airport with a bouquet of lilies."

"That's what I was trying to tell to you before he walked in," his mom said.

"Oh, I didn't get that text."

"You'll probably receive it in about 2 weeks at 3 AM when you least expect it. My texts can be delayed sometimes," he chuckled. "I think I was going to eventually cave in and try to contact you. I don't think I can go long without you, hell being away from you for as long as I have has been torture already."

"So I guess if you're offline you've missed the controversy…" she replied.

"There's more?" he snorted.

"The world knows that I'm a Michaels," she smiled bitterly.

"How? Did Shawn say something? Did the script for Evolution leak?"

"No, Dad and I said it together during an interview...with Cathy that mysteriously leaked," Lily didn't need to say anything further because he began shaking his head.

"I can't believe she did this to you. What is she getting out of this because we're not breaking up and let's say we did, I definitely wouldn't go back to a vindictive person like her!"

"Maybe I shouldn't have pushed for you to break things off with her. If you think about it, that's kind of what triggered all of this…"

"No, Lily, you can't blame yourself for this. This was something that I'd have to do eventually anyway if I wanted to get serious with you."

"Yeah, keyword: eventually. My dad's reaction probably would've been the same in any timeline but the reveal wouldn't have been tainted and there would've been no reason to leak the interview," she said.

"I have a confession," Finn's mom started. "I only tolerated Cathy because I thought she made you happy."

"It's true," his dad added.

"I never took to her. When she showed up at our doorstep with Fergal, every word of her introduction sounded robotic and a little too perfect like she'd rehearsed it the entire flight. In comparison that 13 and pregnant thing was brilliant...once I knew it was false of course. I do think Lily is a wee bit young but she seems mature enough," Finn's mom stated.

"Let's go to my room," Finn suggested, grabbing Lily by the hand.

"Leave the door open you two," Finn's dad called behind them.

Finn's childhood bedroom reflected his career choice with old wrestling magazines, tapes and DVDs.

Lily turned around when she heard the door snap shut. "But your dad said…"

"He was joking," Finn replied, walking forward to close the distance between them. Their lips met and Finn was much gentler than she expected and didn't use tongue at all. It was also brief as he pulled back to say, "I'm so glad you're here."

"Me too. I love your parents. They're so cute and accepting."

"Have you talked to Shawn yet? How's he doing?"

"Yeah, we talked and he's still mad. I'm sure he's petitioning to have your visa revoked as we speak," Lily shook her head.

"Oh, wow. I guess we should give him some time," Finn nodded. "Do they know you're here?"

"Yes. My mom encouraged me to go."

"See, progress," he replied.

Lily began walking around, inspecting his room. She paused when she came upon an old poster of DX from the 90s. She looked at her dad and then she looked at Hunter. "I suppose you're going to tear this down now."

"Why?"

"There's a mirror over there if you want to go look at yourself," Lily pointed.

"One is your father. The other is your godfather. Are you going to stop loving them because of what they do?"

"Well no…"

"Okay, one helped my career in so many ways while I was in NXT so I'll always be grateful. The other was my favorite wrestler growing up and is responsible for your birth so I'm definitely grateful to him. So no, I'm not going to stop being a fan of either."

"Why are you always so happy and positive. The least you could do is match my depression or stop flashing that infectious smile," she grumbled. "I hope your parents don't mind, I brought Frankie along for the trip."

"Where is he?"

"He's in my carrier purse in the living room. He was asleep last I checked."

"Let's go get him," Finn walked out of the room and got down on his knees to put his face in front of the air vent on the side. Frankie violently barked at him.

"Oh, she brought a friend," Finn's mom said before resuming her previous activity.

"Frankie, you're his guest!" Lily scolded. "I think he hates you Fergal."

Finn unzipped the bag and Frankie flew out and jumped on him. Finn began playfully wrestling with him. "I don't think he hates me. He just wants to play. Poor little guy probably hasn't seen this much action since he was separated from his siblings."

"Obviously I'm not rolling around with him on the floor but I'll have you know I play with Frankie all the time," Lily replied.

"Can't tell," Finn teased.

"Fergal, come help out in the backyard," Finn's dad requested. "Bring the pup with you."

"They make you do work around the house?" Lily raised a brow.

"Yeah, we all aren't preppy rich kids," he chuckled.

"No, but you're kind of famous…"

"So are you but you'll help me prepare dinner," Finn's mom told her. "Do you cook?"

"I help my mom if that counts," Lily shrugged.

"That's good enough. Come," she headed back into the kitchen. "I've already had coodle in the oven for hours now."

An hour and a half later the food on the table consisted of coodle, a lot of dishes with potatoes which Lily didn't understand, roasted cabbage, fruit scones and white pudding which Lily was disappointed to find out wasn't pudding at all.

"Oh my god, he's going to kill my dog! Let me call them in," Lily muttered watching Frankie chase Finn around the backyard. She opened the window. "Foods ready."

"Who made the scones?" Finn frowned as he chewed.

"Lily," his mom told him.

"I can tell…"

"What do you mean?" Lily asked.

"You're really good with desserts. Remember, I had your pie when we were in San Antonio and it was delicious," he smirked.

"Oh yeah," Lily blushed hard at the double entendre.

Finn's parents were long asleep and Finn was fresh out of the shower shirtless in pajama bottoms when Lily crawled over on her knees to tug at the waistband.

She was getting ready to jerk them down when the door suddenly opened. Three heads popped in and Lily shrieked, standing to her feet. It was the other 3 Devitt brothers. All 4 basically had the same face although Finn was the best looking.

"Sorry, we didn't know you had company, Fergal," the first spoke. "Hello."

"Hi," Lily couldn't make direct eye contact after being caught seconds before blowing Finn. She was embarrassed knowing that this would forever be their first impression of her.

"Guys, this is Lilith, my girlfriend. Lilith, these are my brothers," Finn introduced.

"She's beautiful, Fergie," the second said. "It's nice to meet you."

"What happened to Cathy?" the third asked.

"Long story," Finn replied.

"Let's go down to the pub and hear it," he said in return.

"I can't leave Lilith," Finn shook his head.

"She can come, too."

"No, that's okay. I had a long flight and I'm kind of tired," Lily declined, sliding into bed. "But you go ahead, Fergie."

Finn shrugged on a shirt before kneeling on the floor beside the bed. "Tomorrow night I swear it's just going to be me, you and Frankie."

"Okay," Lily yawned.

"Judging by that you'll be sleep by the time I return so goodnight," he kissed her forehead and she drifted off to sleep.


Lily glared at Finn when Frankie whined on the ground. "I told you he wasn't built to walk long, treacherous distances on his own. His paws probably hurt. Back into the bag he goes."

"Or he's hungry. I also don't recall him stopping for a bathroom break since we've been out so that's another possibility. God, if we have a son leave the parenting to me. The lad will be scared of life in your care," he joked.

"Not really, he's going to be a third generation Michaels," Lily said.

Finn stopped in his tracks. "Excuse me?"

"Okay, okay. His real name will be Michael Shawn Devitt. Prince Michael Devitt on the indies and Shawn Balor, The Heartbreak Demon when he goes to WWE."

"Now that sounds better. Congratulations, you've made it to the top of Bray Head," Finn said.

The scenery was breathtaking at the top of the hill. "Wow, it's beautiful."

Lily took her phone out and began snapping various shots of the sights below, Frankie exploring and finally a selfie that Finn tried to inch into. "Don't, I'm posting these on Twitter."

"Oh," he replied, squeezing in closer behind her.

"Ferg! You can't be in the shot," she shifted enough to get him out of the frame.

"Why not?"

"I'm just assuming you don't want to be since Cathy never really posted stuff like this with you…"

"You're not Cathy…"

"You got that right," Lily smiled, snuggling closer to Finn to capture the picture. She captained the shots: 'Lily, Fergie & Frankie take on Bray & I'm not talking Wyatt lol.' "Okay, posted. Let the shit show begin."

Posting this is not going to distract us from the fact that you're an entitled brat. Now you're an entitled brat and a slut because an article a few weeks ago said you stole him from Cathy! Thanks for confirming.

Finn's banging Shawn Michaels daughter. Nice.

Are they in a BDSM relationship? Why is Finn so beat up?

Omg, Shawn just unfollowed his own daughter and Finn after she posted the selfie. I guess he doesn't approve.

"I think I'm going off the grid now too," Lily said powering down her phone.

"Yeah, that's probably for the best," he agreed, sliding her phone into his pocket.

"So what's next?" she asked. He'd already taken her to Sea Life, a garden and a waterfall.

"We're going to go down the cliff walk to Greystones and then we'll have a Buddha bowl," he replied.

"As long as mine doesn't contain potatoes," she groaned and he laughed in response. "What's up with that anyway?"

"While we take this walk I'm going to tell you about a time when we didn't have potatoes: The Irish Potato Famine," he secured his arm around her shoulder. "After that, I don't know if you'll be into it and it's definitely not romantic but there's somewhere I'd like to visit before we go in for the day."

"Whatever it is, I'm down. Get back in the bag, Frankie before you exhaust yourself," she said picking him up.

"Okay, this is the place I mentioned earlier," Finn said standing outside an indie wrestling promotion. "If you don't want to go in we can just go home."

Lily scoffed. "Why wouldn't I be into our profession? Come on."

Finn received a 'welcome home' chant when he entered and took a seat. The matches were exciting and Lily was really into it.

"Can I have my phone? I want to record some of this."

"Why? The only moves you're allowed to steal are mine. Besides, phones only distract from the experience," he said.

"Technically you're distracting from the experience as well," Lily pointed out.

Finn looked around and more people seemed to be watching and recording him than the action match. Even the wrestlers in the ring were watching for his reaction to their moves. "I think we've seen enough. It's getting late, let's go home."

Lily was curious as they approached an old fashion cottage by the water. "Who does this place belong to?"

"It's mine," he replied, flashing keys.

"Oh, so when you said tomorrow night was just going to be me, you and Frankie this is what you meant," she said, following him inside. It was nice but reflected the home of someone who wasn't around much. It seemed lifeless. She did notice that he had a lot of giraffes and Lego models hanging around including a WWE Championship made of legos.

She walked over to one display that had a Lego Finn painted into his Demon form with a brunette female Lego beside him that she assumed depicted Cathy. "Does the hair pop off?"

"No, but I have a blonde girl and I'll paint her wearing your ring gear," he offered.

"I'd like that," she picked up 'Cathy' and whistled for Frankie who happily ran over. "I got you a new chew toy."

"While he's distracted with that, let's get away," Finn suggested seductively and she followed him to his bedroom without hesitation.

Lily trapped Finn's head between her thighs, whimpering when he began to suck and lick her clit seemingly with no particular rhythm. Sometimes the force of his tongue was hard, sometimes it was soft but it was always relentless.

She pulled and twisted her nipples to add additional pleasure. The closer to orgasm she got, the harder she tweaked. Finn firmly, but gently pried her thighs away from his head, spreading her legs as far as they would go and renewed his assault on her clit.

"Don't stop, Fergie, please don't stop," she begged, writhing on the bed with orgasm. She released her nipples and tangled her hands in his hair to hold his head in place. He gave her another long lick before trying to stand. "What are you doing?"

"Going to get a condom…"

"Don't…"

"I think we have to or Shawn will really go off the deep end."

"We don't need it. During that two week break my mom made me go to the gyno to get birth control pills," Lily revealed.

"Why am I just now hearing about this?"

"Because I was saving it for a special occasion. I can't think of a moment more perfect than this," she replied.

"Well alrighty then," Finn lined himself at her entrance. They moaned simultaneously as the large, hot head of his cock pushed into her. The skin to skin friction compared to the artificial rubber seemed to be having the desired effect on him. She brought her knees up and spread her legs wider to assist his entrance into her. His head was thrown back and his eyes were squeezed shut as he pummeled her.

Just when she felt pleasure building in a spot within her, he stopped and pulled out.

"Fergal?" she called out, disappointed that he stopped. "What's wrong?"

Instead of answering, Finn turned her over onto her stomach and pushed the back of her neck down into the pillow. As he entered her from behind, Lily could feel every inch as it filled her. It didn't take him long to finish inside of her and she orgasmed again with him.

Finn collapsed on top of her back. A moment later, he was lying on his side with Lily securely in his arms. "Sooo…."

"Sooo," she replied. "If it's 11:00 PM here, what time is it in San Antonio?"

"I don't know 5 PM, maybe," he answered.

"Oh, I have to text my mom so she doesn't get worried," she climbed off the bed.

"That's a good excuse to get your phone back," he sat up against the headboard.

When she turned her phone back on she was bombarded with texts alerts and notifications. Only 2 stood out to her.

Hunter: Why would you taunt Shawn with those pics? If you want to stay with Balor that's your business but the least you could've done was given Shawn time to cool down first!

Then there was the delayed text Finn said she'd receive when she least expected it.

Finn: Just touched down. I've had a lot of time to think on the flight over. I have to say I'm actually relieved that things are out in the open. That means we're finally free and don't have to lie or hide anymore. My mind is made, I want you to stay with me but if you decide to break things off to keep the peace I'll understand. You only get one father and there's nothing stronger than the bond between a father and daughter. I would hate to come in between that. At the same time Shawn only has one daughter and he should want to see you happy even if it's with me. Whatever you decide I meant what I said about always being here for you. I'm turning off my phone for a few days so if you don't hear from me, don't panic. I wish I could've brought you here with me but I know you probably have to get things settled with Shawn in San Antonio. Hopefully I'll see you next Monday if Shawn doesn't make Hunter send me to Smackdown. Hell I might get sent back to NXT since I'm so "irrelevant." LOL.

"What are you smiling about?" he asked.

"Oh nothing…"
