We've looked over everything and it looks like we have an agreement, starting the day after the Rumble You will be the solo manager of The Shield" Madison smiled as Paul Levesque gathered up the contract and stood up and held his hand out.

"Thank you, I promise you won't regret this"

"I don't doubt that, we are going to take it slow in the beginning, kind of ease you in, but after The Rock wins your work load will be lightened with Phil so you should have plenty of time to adjust" Madison stilled, The Rock was going to win he was taking the championship from Phil. Madison felt a sadness knowing that all his hard work would be for nothing. Did he even know what they were planning?

"Does Phil know?" Paul looked at her and wiped his brow.

"Ahh I probably shouldn't have said anything, lets keep that between us" Madison let out a breath, how was she supposed to keep this a secret. She nodded and Paul smiled at her.

"Thank you again for this opportunity"

"Steph really fought for you, she knows you can handle this and I'm sure you can to" Madison smiled and they ended their meeting, walking down the hall and to the elevator she pulled her phone out, she was waiting for Phil to call, today was the day he was getting emergency surgery to repair the damage he sustained going through that damn table. She hadn't told him that she had signed on with The Shield, her and Paul decided it would be better if he was left out of the loop for now. As the elevator beeped she walked out of the WWE building and out to her car, as she slid in her phone rang.

"Hey how did it go?"

"Went fine, once I told them I wanted to do it they gave it to me" Madison could hear her sister squeal on the other line.

"This is so cool, you're going to be on Tv" Madison shook her head laughing, pulling the car out of the parking lot.

"I'm already on Tv"

"Yes, but this is different you don't have to just stand there, you get segments and promos this is so exciting" Madison smiled at her sisters excitement, she was always supportive of everything Madison did she was the first person she told when she decided what she wanted to do with her life and Alyssa was there every step of the way.

"So what happens now?"

"Nothing until The Rumble" Madison shook her head just thinking about it, that night was going to change everything for her and her career, and Phil, God Phil had no idea what was happening yet, how could she look him in the eye knowing they were giving the championship, his championship to The Rock. At least give it to someone who would be there to defend it on a weekly basis, how long until The Great One picks up and leaves again.

"Did you tell Phil?"

"No, they want me to keep it to myself until the night I reveal myself as the one that brought The Shield in, and with the surgery and everything I didn't want to spring it on him"

"Hmmm.." Madison rolled her eyes.

"What?"

"Why aren't you with him?"

"You know I had the meeting today"

"Yea but I think Hunter would have been fine with rescheduling" Madison saw what her sister was doing, trying to get her to see how much Phil meant to her. Even though Madison had admitted it to him personally Alyssa swore that they were supposed to be together.

"I'm sure but I wanted to just get it out of the way" Before Alyssa could respond Madison's phone beeped, she looked at it seeing that it was Phil she quickly said goodbye and switched calls.

"Hey, how you feeling?"

"Tired, I hate when they give me these damn pain medication"

"It's for your own good"

"Fuck that, I feel fine" Madison let out a laugh.

"Yea because of the pills" Madison heard him scoff and mumble something under his breath.

"So when are you coming back?"

"I'm going for 2 weeks"

"Phil you just got off the operating table"

"And?"

"You're so damn stubborn you know that?"

"That's why you love me"

"Ooh yea that's the reason" Madison smiled and then let her mind wander, she knew if they had stayed together she would be at his bedside, she probably would have driven herself crazy while he was in surgery. Madison shook her head Nope that was Aprils role now.

"So you're really ok?"

"Yes Maddie I'm fine I promise"

"Ok good, have to look out for my client" Phil laughed and then she heard him stop and talk to someone.

"Look I gotta go April just got here can I call you later" Madison didn't miss the way her heart sank.

"Yea go ahead feel better kid"

"Always" Madison smiled as she hung up. Driving down the street to where her hotel was she thought about how different things were about it to and she couldn't lie she was ready.

"She signed the contract an hour ago" Seth groaned as Dean told him about their new manager.

"I thought she was going to turn it down"

"That's what I got when I talked to Kevin, looks like she changed her mind" Dean shrugged.

"How the hell is this even going to work, it's gunna make us seem weak, you know their going to make one of us involved with her" Seth said making air quotes. Dean laughed and threw his hands up.

"Ill take that bullet" Seth threw Dean a glare.

"Shut up"

"I'm just saying what's the worst that could happen" An image of Madison wiggling naked underneath him popped in his head. He put his head in his hands.

"A lot"
