"Cody!" The brunette turned around at the sound of his name, the customary smile on his face… which faded when he came face-to-face with his ex-boyfriend.
"What do you want, Show?" Cody hissed. "Oh, wait. I should be more careful about how I talk to you, shouldn't I? I wouldn't want to be slammed into a wall like Alex Riley…"
Show's face fell. "You know that I would never do that to you. I could never hurt you, even if it was scripted."
Cody shook his head. "You've already hurt me, Show."
Daylee stood off to the side unobtrusively. She was supposed to accompany Cody to his match after the commercial break. Show scowled at her. "Why can't we talk about this?"
"You see, I was under the impression that we already talked about this. Y'know, when you said that your job was more important than Cayden and I…" Cody tilted his head. "Silly of me to think that that kind of ends a conversation."
Show's blue eyes widened. "His name is Cayden?"
Cody nodded. "Yes, Paul. I went into labor in the middle of my match with Christian at Over The Limit. I didn't even know that you had come back. The Paul I knew would have come and been with me when I needed him."
Show's eyes darkened and lowered to the floor. "At the moment, all that I said… it's true. My job is most important to me as of this moment. But I need to tell you why."
"I don't want to hear excuses, Show. You're a sell-out. That's all that matters." Cody hissed.
Cody turned around and started to come out from behind the curtain. Daylee followed close behind, her small hand clasped in his. The Number One Contender to Layla's Divas' Championship was worried for her faux-boyfriend. He hadn't exactly been medically cleared to contest this match. The wound from his c-section wasn't fully healed and when he moved around too much, it still bled. Daylee had covered it with as much gauze as she could (it had to be covered by his trunks, after all), but she wasn't sure if it would hold.
Cody's match with Tyson was quick (kind of like Sheamus' record for beating Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania, actually…), and it ended with one half of the Hart Dynasty sprawled out on the canvas, knocked out. Cody looked over at Christian, who sat with the other commentators. Daylee held his hand reassuringly. It was unlikely that Cody would win the title back for a third time in a matter of months. Besides, she didn't think that he could handle the disappointment of losing it in an even shorter period of time than before…
OOOO
Show wandered around the back, heartbroken and confused. If only Cody would listen to him… then he could make everything go back to normal and he would be able to see his son! They could be the family that Show had always wanted, had always craved. Earlier in the show, he had vented his frustrations on Santino and Zack. He made no qualms about the fact that he had an iron-clad contract now, and he intended to take full advantage of that fact. No Superstar (or Diva for that matter) was safe…
The Giant currently sat in catering, where this whole mess between him, Cody, and Daylee had started. However, right now, his mind couldn't have been further from Cody and Daylee. Now, he was thinking about the son which he had never met. Did Cody honestly think that the reason he didn't come to the hospital to be there for him was because he didn't care? The Giant cared a lot more than he was willing to let on. He still loved Cody. His love for Cody was the only reason that he had come back to this hellhole…
"Does Cayden want his bottle? Hmm…" dark blue eyes flickered up at the sound of the name 'Cayden'. Quickly, he was able to locate Beth and Natalya at the table across from him. There was a baby boy in Nattie's arms.
The baby was, quite possibly, the cutest baby that Show had ever laid eyes on. His basic facial structure took after Cody, which Show was thankful for. From his tiny mouth to his rosy cheeks, he practically oozed adorableness. His big eyes were so blue that they were almost colorless, and his little nose was turned up a little bit at the end. The baby was almost bald, save for an extremely thin layer of honey brown hair that coated his oval head. And he was dressed in an onesie that said 'I Love My Daddy.'
When Cody and Daylee came down to catering, Show averted his eyes. He couldn't stand how happy Cody looked without him. He had, quite possibly, made the biggest mistake of his life when he confronted Cody in such a compromised emotional state. And now, he would be forced to pay the price for the rest of his time in the WWE. Daylee kissed Cody's cheek softly, and then she walked away and crawled into Punk's lap. The older man wrapped his arms around Daylee's hips and drew her closer, kissing her neck softly.
Once again, Show was all alone…
OOOO
