Hey everyone, sorry this one took a little longer but I just didn't feel like putting this up for a while. I'm deeply saddened by the passing of Eddie Guerrero, and I had the honor of seeing him one last time the week before he died. I'm really going to miss Eddie, but now Heaven has a little bit of Latino Heat. Please review I love hearing from you guys!

Dave pulls up to his house and Nikki stares at it, stunned.
"You live here?" Nikki asks, getting out of the car.
"Yup, me and my two daughters, Grace and Ashley. They'll be coming over with my mom and sister. They stay with them when I'm on the road," Dave explains, grabbing their bags.
Together, they walk up to the house where Dave unlocks the door, holding it open for Nikki.
"Oh my God Dave! It's beautiful!" Nikki gasps, looking around the foyer.
"Come on, I'll give you the tour," Dave grabs her hand and starts to show her around.
At the end, they reach his bedroom and he smiles.
"This is where the magic happens," Dave smirks, pushing the door open.
Nikki steps in and smiles. She takes off running for the bed and jumps on it. Dave chuckles and follows her to the bed.
"This looks like your room," Nikki says snuggling into the pillows, "comfy."
Dave sits down next to her and smiles at her.
"You're too cute," Dave states, kissing her softly.
"When will your family be here?" Nikki asks, looking up at Dave.
"We have about two hours before the get here. Wanna help me cook?" Dave replies, standing up and offering his hand to her.
Nikki nods and grabs onto his hand and together they head down to the kitchen.
"What are we making?" Nikki asks, leaning against the counter.
"Grilled chicken, potatoes and a salad," Dave answers, opening the freezer to get out the chicken, "could you get the salad and potatoes ready?"
"Sure hon," Nikki says, getting out the lettuce and other things for the salad.
They work on getting the food ready and Dave comes up behind Nikki. He smiles and puts his arms around her causing her to giggle.
"How's your shoulder?" Dave asks, looking down at the bruised spot where the tattoo is.
"Still sore, but not as much," Nikki replies, "don't you have something to do?"
"It can wait," Dave mumbles, kissing her neck, "this can't."
He turns her around and picks her up, setting her on the counter. He kisses her again, and she wraps her arms around his neck. They're interrupted by the doorbell.
"Who the hell is that?" Dave demands, stalking out of the room to the door.
Nikki jumps down and scurries after him. Dave throws open the door and two young girls jump on him.
"Daddy!"
"My angels! How are you?" Dave asks, kissing them both, "you're early."
"Sorry sweetheart, they just couldn't wait," the older woman says, giving Dave a kiss on the cheek.
Dave turns to Nikki who's standing by the stairs. Dave's sister Michelle (a/n: I know this isn't her name, I made it up) walks in carrying a dessert. Dave grabs Nikki's hand and drags her over to his family.
"Mom, Michelle, this is Nikki," Dave announces causing the two women to look at her.
"Hi, Dave's told me so much about you," Nikki says, leaning into him.
"Come here darling, welcome," Dave's mom, Donna, states, giving Nikki a hug, "I couldn't get Dave to shut up about you."
"Mom, stop," Dave groans, rolling his eyes, "come on, lets go sit in the living room."
They all head into the living room and when Dave and Nikki sit down, Grace and Ashley jump up onto his lap and stare at Nikki in amazement.
"Are you going to be our new mommy?" Grace asks boldly, smiling widely.
Nikki turns a bright red as Dave chuckles.
"Grace, we'll talk about that later," Dave replies.
"You're very pretty," Ashley says softly, shying away.
Nikki smiles at her and thanks her.
"So tell me about yourself Nikki," Donna asks, "I'd love to get to know the woman my boy is madly in love with."
"Well, I was born in Boston and I've lived there ever since. I have one brother, Adam, and he's 4 years older than me. I went to the University of Massachusetts in Boston and I graduated with a business major. I've always loved the WWE and when I heard that they were hiring, I had to jump at the opportunity," Nikki says, smiling at Dave, "I'm glad I did because I met Dave."
Dave squeezes her hand and smiles at her.
"You look so cute together," Michelle states, watching the two, "how did you guys meet?"
"Well, I was assigned to Evolution and we just became friends. One night, after the whole fake "Paul attack" I wouldn't talk to him so he just kissed me. Ever since, we've been together."
The four talk some more before dinner's ready. After dinner is finished, Nikki and Michelle do the dishes. Michelle stops Nikki and pulls her close.
"I really like you. I've never seen Dave any happier," Michelle says, smiling, "I hope you two stay together. Dave's hard to understand, so be patient with him sometimes."
"Thanks, I'm glad we're becoming great friends."
The two walk out to the backyard where Dave is playing with Grace and Ashley. They watch as he swings Grace around.
"He's a great father," Nikki states, watching Dave and his daughters.
Michelle nods in agreement and Dave turns to them.
"Mom's feeling tired," Dave says, "why don't you take her home and come on back."
"Sure, I'll be back soon," Michelle replies.
Nikki walks out to the yard and kneels next to Grace and Ashley. They sit down next to her and look up at her.
"Girls, it's not polite to stare," Dave says.
"She's just so pretty," Grace states as Ashley nods, "we like her Daddy."
"Thank you. You both are angels. I can't wait to spend more time with you."
"Are you a wrestler like daddy?" Ashley asks.
"Nope, I'm your daddy's assistant," Nikki replies, smiling at them.
"Alright girls that's enough for tonight. Time for bed," Dave announces, ushering the girls inside.
Soon after, Dave returns and sits behind Nikki, pulling her into him.
"They love you," Dave says, kissing her neck.
"I love them too. They look like you," Nikki replies, smiling.
"One day, we'll be a happy family."
Raw Feb 7th- Saitama, Japan
Courtney and Nikki are sitting in catering, eating. Nikki sighs and takes a bite of her food.
"I'm bored," Nikki states.
"Who's that?" Courtney asks, pointing behind Nikki.
Nikki turns and looks as Courtney gathers a fork full of mashed potatoes.
"I don't see any…" Nikki's cut off by the mashed potatoes being flung into her face.
Courtney laughs uncontrollably and Nikki grabs a handful of potatoes and shoves them in her face.
"You Ho!" Courtney exclaims, "FOOD FIGHT!"
They start throwing food at each other as the others watch on, and soon they're joining in. It ends when Courtney comes up behind Nikki and dumps a whole bottle of apple juice over her head.
Randy and Dave are in their locker room when the door opens.
"So tonight…" Randy trails off as he stares at Nikki and Courtney who just entered the room.
"What the hell happened to you two?" Dave exclaims, laughing.
"We were hungry," Nikki replies softly, "want some potatoes?"
She holds out her arm and starts to giggle.
"She started it!" Nikki exclaims, pointing to Courtney.
"Hey!" Courtney states, glaring at her friend, "you were asking for it."
Dave and Randy burst out laughing and Dave walks over to Nikki.
"Better get cleaned up. We're one of the first ones on," Dave says, pushing her towards the bathroom.
Nikki showers and changes. She emerges from the bathroom wearing a short, sparkly red strapless dress. Her hair is up in a clip and curly.
"Damn girl," Dave says softly, pulling her close, "you look good."
"I'd like to keep what food I did eat, down," Courtney states, flopping down on the couch.
Nikki sticks her tongue out and a tech knocks on the door, telling Dave his match is up next. They head to the gorilla area and see Paul and Ric waiting there.
"I'm going out alone," Dave says, "stay back here."
Dave's music hits and he walks out with Nikki following. They walk down the ramp together and he holds the ropes open for her. Maven's music hits and he comes strutting out and gets in the ring. He backs Nikki into a corner before smirking and grabbing a microphone. He turns his attention to Dave, allowing her to slip out of the ring.
"By now, everyone knows what happened at the Rumble. I just have one question, why wasn't I in it? Wait! I know why! It's because I would've won it. I would've tossed your ass over the top rope!" Maven yells at Dave, who rolls his eyes and turns to look at Nikki.
Maven attacks Dave and the ref rings the bell. Maven bounces off the ropes and runs right into a spinebuster from Dave. Dave then picks him up and gives him a Batista Bomb for the win. Nikki rushes into the ring and raises Dave's hand. He pulls her into a hug as the Big Show flashes up on the titantron from last Thursday.
"Batista is a big fish in a very small pong. If he comes to Smackdown, he will find out what a great white shark can do!" Show threatens before the screen goes blank.
Dave angrily gets out of the ring and storms up the ramp with Nikki following close behind.
"Bischoff!" Dave yells, storming into his office, "what the hell is going on with these damn Smackdown promo's because it's starting to piss me off!"
"I'll get to the bottom of this, but I have to talk to you. I saw Teddy Long's offer and I don't think you should do it! Raw is the premier show, the heavyweight title is the premier title," Bischoff explains.
"You've made your point," Dave states before walking away.
"Hey sweetie, I'm going to go talk with C," Nikki says, heading off down another hall.
Dave sighs and heads into the locker room where Paul's waiting for him on the couch.
"I want to talk to you," Paul says, standing up, "I saw the Big Show thing. These Smackdown guys are laughing at you. The match between us would be the biggest match ever, but Ric and I were thinking it might be best if you go to Smackdown."
Dave sighs and places his hands on his hips.
"If you go to Smackdown, you can shut all those mouths and then Evolution would run the entire business," Paul continues as Ric nods in agreement.
Nikki pushes open the door to go outside and smiles when she sees Randy and Courtney smoking. Courtney hands her a cigarette and Nikki lights it up, talking a long drag.
"Damn, I needed this so much," Nikki states, taking another drag, "if Dave found out that I smoked, he'd kill me."
Suddenly, someone clears their throat behind the three. Nikki whirls around and sees Dave standing there with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"Um, it's not what it looks like," Nikki stammers, "I'm holding it for C."
Dave grabs the cigarette, tosses it to the ground and smashes it.
"Hey!" Nikki exclaims, "that was still good!"
"No more," Dave states firmly, "got it?"
Nikki nods sadly as Dave leads her away from the other two.
"Are you mad at me?" Nikki asks softly.
Dave sighs and turns to her.
"Baby, I don't want to kiss an ashtray," Dave explains, "I want to kiss you."
"I'll quit then," Nikki announces softly, "for you."
Dave kisses her cheek and leads her into the locker room.
"You're to stay here, got it?" Paul states, picking up his title.
"I don't listen to you, got it?" Nikki replies angrily.
"You little…." Paul starts, but Dave cuts him off.
"Stay here please," Dave begs softly, "I'll be back soon."
Nikki nods and flops down on the couch. The three men leave and soon Courtney enters the room.
"Dave looked pissed," Courtney states as they watch Paul's match.
"I told him I'd quit," Nikki replies, turning to Courtney.
"You're not, right?" Courtney questions.
"Yeah, I am. I love Dave and if he wants me to quit, then I'll quit. I know he'd do the same for me," Nikki answers.
"Whipped," Courtney states, turning back to the TV.
Nikki rolls her eyes and watches as Dave helps Paul up. They hug and Dave raises his hand and stares at the heavyweight title. Paul notices and then Dave turns his gaze to Paul.
"That's weird," Courtney says, "I better go before Paul gets back."
Courtney leaves as the three men enter. There's a tense silence between Paul and Dave. Paul heads into the bathroom to change as Dave sits next to Nikki.
"What was that about?" She whispers, leaning into him.
"Proving MY point," Dave replies, tying his shoes, "ready?"
Nikki nods and they gather their things before leaving. Nikki grabs Dave's hand and smiles at him.
"Next week's Valentine's Day," Nikki states, "you'll love your surprise."
Dave smiles and stops.
"As long as it has something to do with you wearing nothing, I'll be a happy camper," Dave replies, kissing her softly, "I know you'll love yours."
They walk out of the arena hand in hand as Paul and Ric trail far behind.
"They won't have having a very Happy Valentine's Day," Paul mutters, "not if I have something to do with it."
What does Paul have up his sleeve? What are Nikki and Dave's surprises? I have the next chapter started and a good chunk finished. Please review…they help me get the chapter up faster! Much love!
