Lexi steps out of the car and stares up at the arena in Dallas, TX. The memories of the last time she was here hits her like a ton of bricks. Paul hands her, her bag and the three walk into the arena. Ever since Monday, Lexi hasn't said a word to either man. Paul has been put in a bad mood by Lexi's silence. Shawn looks over and nudges her causing her to snap out of her daze.
"You ok Doll?" Shawn asks, "you seem pretty out of it."
"I'll be fine," Lexi lies, "just a little tired."
Shawn nods as they arrive at their locker room. Lexi drops off her bag and walks back out of the locker room. Paul watches her leave, going to go after her, but Shawn stops him.
"Give her space buddy," Shawn says.
Paul nods and sits down on the couch sighing.
&&&!&&&
Lexi walks down to the ring, looking around the empty arena. She slides into the ring and stands right in the middle as the memories flood back to her.
Flashback
Lexi looks up as the music of Stephanie McMahon plays throughout the arena. Paul drapes an arm over Lexi's shoulders as Stephanie gets into the ring.
"What the hell do you want?" Lexi growls, "still haven't given up, you little…"
Paul cuts her off by shoving her to the side, pulling Stephanie into his arms, kissing her deeply. Lexi stares in shock at the sight before her before regaining her composure, rushing at Stephanie, knocking her on her back. Lexi gets in a few shots before Paul pulls her off of Stephanie.
"You bitch!" Stephanie yells, "look who won now! Are you mad that Hunter left your sorry ass in the gutter, where you belong?"
Lexi goes to attack her again, but Paul shoves her away.
"Upset that for the past month, he's been with me, not you!" Stephanie demands, "he's done with trash!"
Paul smirks, kissing Stephanie once more.
"Oh and we have two words for you," Stephanie says.
"YOU'RE FIRED!" They both yell.
Lexi fights back the tears as she gets out of the ring, watching the new couple celebrate. She pushes back the curtain, heading into the back. Various superstars are standing in the hallway, watching her head back to DX's locker room. She opens the door to see Brian (Road Dogg), Kip (Billy Gunn), and Sean (X-pac) on the couch. They look up at her sadly as she collects her things. One by one, they give her a hug, Kip being the last.
"I'm so sorry," Kip mutters, "I didn't know this was going to happen, you're like a sister to me, to all of us."
"You knew about Paul and Steph?" Lexi questions as all three nod.
She lets out a sob, leaving the room, and walking out of the arena as the rain falls softly.
End Flashback
Lexi walks into the back, brushing away the tears as she heads outside. Rain is slowly starting to fall as she sits down on a bench, feeling the cold rain on her face.
"Lexi, what are you doing out here?" Paul asks, snapping her out of her daze.
"Do you remember the last time we were here together?" Lexi says, looking up at him, "8 years ago."
Paul pulls Lexi up and into his arms. Lexi looks down but Paul hooks a finger under her chin, his gaze meeting hers.
"Lexi, I'm sorry," Paul states, "for everything."
"Why did you fire me!" Lexi demands, tears falling.
Paul pushes her wet hair from her face.
"I was power hungry, I didn't want you to get hurt," Paul explains.
"Well, I still did!" Lexi yells, pushing away from him and walking back into the arena.
She turns down the hallway and almost runs over a very pregnant Stephanie McMahon. Lexi groans and goes to walk away, but Stephanie grabs her arm.
"Alexis, wait," Stephanie says softly.
"What do you want Steph?" Lexi demands, ripping her arm from her grasp.
"I never got to apologize for what I did 8 years ago," Stephanie states, "I was just so jealous and power hungry."
"I'd say," Lexi mumbles, "it's in the past, I'm over it."
Lexi goes to walk away but something Stephanie says stops her.
"If it means anything, Paul never stopped loving you," Stephanie says, "his heart was yours, it always will be."
Stephanie walks away, leaving a stunned Lexi. She shakes it off and heads back down to DX's locker room. She opens the door to see Shawn stretching.
"Hey doll, what's shaking?" Shawn asks, plopping down on the couch, "pop a squat next to your favorite person."
Lexi giggles and sits down next to him, putting her head on his shoulder, sighing.
"You can always make me laugh," Lexi states, "thanks Shawn."
"No problemo," Shawn says, smiling, "so what's eating at you now?"
"I bumped into Steph," Lexi explains, "she said she was sorry for what happened."
"So, what's so bad about that?" Shawn questions.
"It's what she said afterwards," Lexi sighs, "she said Paul never stopped loving me and that his heart will always be mine."
Shawn glances at her as she continues.
"He never said he loved me, once," Lexi states, "I felt like it was all just one big once night stand."
"Did you love him?" Shawn inquires.
"Did? I still do," Lexi admits, "but what can I do now?"
"Roll with it. Don't put up a barrier, just go with it," Shawn suggest, "if I'm thinking right, it'll happen soon enough."
Paul walks in and his eyes are on Lexi. She looks up at him and takes a deep breath.
"Is it time?" Lexi asks softly.
"Yup, we're next," Paul says, not taking his eyes off her, " you ready for this?"
Lexi nods and stands up, straightening her fitted DX shirt.
"You look nice," Paul states, smiling.
Lexi smiles back and links arms with both men.
"Remember, if one of us gets put in the holding cell, we'll need you to help," Paul instructs, "just listen to what we yell out, ok?"
Lexi nods as their music hits. They walk out and head down to the ring. The three pose as their fireworks go off. Shawn grabs a mic as Paul drapes his arm over Lexi's shoulders.
"The following thrashing of 5 male cheerleaders is brought to you by D-Genteration X," Shawn announces, "and if you're not down with that, we've got two words for ya!"
The crowd yells 'Suck It' as the Spirit Squad's music hits. Paul holds open the ropes for her as the 5 men jump into the ring. They go to pose but Shawn comes up behind them and bashes each one with their megaphone. Paul had the ref distracted and walks over by Shawn as the Spirit Squad goes to the outside to regroup. Lexi throws the airhorn to Paul and he sneaks up on them, blowing it in their ears, pulling Mitch into the ring. Paul tosses him at Shawn causing Mitch to get the Sweet Chin Music. Shawn covers him for the first elimination. Lexi pulls Mitch out of the ring and shoves him into the cage, locking it. She turns back to the ring to see Paul hit a spinebuster on Johnny, covering him for another elimination. Paul kicks him to the outside where Lexi locks him in the cage as well, blowing a kiss at the two. Kenny slips out of the ring and Shawn follows him up the ramp, but from behind the curtain, Vince hits Shawn across the back with a chair.
Kenny takes Shawn back into the ring, beating him down, then tagging in Mitch but Shawn gets in a kick to the head to him, making a hot tag to Paul. He hits a spinebuster on Mitch and goes for the pedigree but Mikey breaks the 3 count. Paul shoves Mikey to the outside and nails the pedigree on Mitch for the 3rd elimination. Lexi locks up Mitch with the other two and mocks them on the outside before Vince comes storming up to her, chasing her to her side of the ring. As she turns her attention back to the ring, Paul hits another pedigree on Mikey, shoving him to the outside. Lexi drags him over to the cage, throwing him in, locking the cage and putting the key down her shirt. She blows a kiss to Vince, pointing to the ring. Shawn hits a top rope elbow drop on Kenny, the only remaining Spirit Squad member. He warms up the band and nails Kenny with the Sweet Chin Music, sending him flying into Paul. Paul nails him with a pedigree and gets the three count. Lexi pushes Kenny into the cage and slides into the ring, hugging both men.
They watch as Vince tries to unlock the door. Shawn smirks, sliding out of the ring. Paul and Lexi follow and the three sneak up behind the chairman. Vince finally gets the door open and motions of the Spirit Squad to come out. They all cower in the back of the cage, pointing behind Vince. He slowly turns around to receive the Sweet Chin Music, causing him to stumble back into the cage. Lexi slams the door shut and Paul locks it, handing her the key. Shawn jumps up onto the top of the cage and Paul follows. They pull Lexi up to join them and she smiles down at the 6 men.
"You want this?" Lexi asks sweetly, crouching down and dangling the key near them.
They jump for it, but she pulls it away giggling. Paul chuckles and nudges her and she stands up as all three do crotch chops. Paul jumps down to the apron and helps Lexi down as Shawn jumps back down. She tosses the key to the ref as they walk into the back.
"You did great!" Paul exclaims, picking Lexi up and twirling her around.
Lexi smiles and hugs Shawn. Together, they walk back to their locker room. Paul and Shawn shower and the three head back to the hotel.
"Since Raw's in my hometown next week, why don't you two stay at my ranch?" Shawn suggests, pulling up to the hotel.
"We'd love to," Paul answers before Lexi can protest.
Lexi shoots Paul a look before heading inside. Paul and Lexi head to their room and Shawn heads to his. Paul holds open the door for Lexi and she throws her bag on the floor, sighing.
"Do you mind if I just change out here?" Lexi asks, "it's not like you haven't seen me naked before."
Paul nods and flops down on the bed, turning on the tv. Lexi pulls off her shirt causing Paul to turn his attention from the TV to Lexi. She shimmies out of her jeans and turns her back to him. She unhooks her bra, so she's only wearing a skimpy thong. She pulls out an oversized T-shirt and shorts and puts them on. She puts on leg on the bed, rubbing lotion on her long legs. Paul notices an ugly scar, running up into her shorts. He frowns and sits up, trying to get a better look. Lexi looks up to see him staring at her.
"What?" Lexi questions, straightening her stance.
"Take off your shorts," Paul demands, sliding off the bed.
"What!" Lexi exclaims, "Paul, I'm not sleeping with you!"
"Take off your shorts!" He yells causing her to jump.
She slides down her shorts and Paul sits her down, spreading her legs, looking at her left thigh. The jagged scar runs up her thigh, about 5 inches in length.
"What the hell is this?" Paul questions.
"It's nothing," Lexi lies, trying to close her legs, "let me go."
"Lexi, who did this to you?" Paul asks softly, running a finger up and down her scar.
Lexi lets her head drop, fighting back the tears.
"Eric did this to you," Paul states, "didn't he?"
Lexi nods, letting the tears fall.
"When?" Paul demands.
"2 weeks after I was fired!" Lexi replies angrily, "since you left me, I went back to him!"
Paul doesn't say anything, he looks down, ashamed.
"He shoved me through the sliding glass door," Lexi explains, my leg go caught on a piece of glass. I was in the hospital for a week."
Paul cringes, trying not to think of the horrible situation. He looks up at her, noticing the sadness. He wraps his arms around her, laying down with her on top of him.
"Why did you go back to him?" Paul mumbles, grasping her tightly.
"I thought that he could be the only person to ever love me," Lexi replies, "he told me he changed, he even got promoted, he was a homicide detective."
Paul raises an eyebrow as she shakes her head.
"I know he didn't change, but I wanted to believe he did," Lexi says, and him being a cop made my life a living hell."
"How so?" Paul asks, rubbing her back softly.
"He thought he was special because he had a gun," Lexi answers shuddering, "besides, I had no where to turn. If I went to the police, they wouldn't believe me, because he was one of them."
"Did he use the gun on you?" Paul asks.
Lexi goes silent and Paul knows the answer. He squeezes her softly, kissing the top of her head.
"Can we not talk about this any more?" Lexi whispers, "I just want to sleep."
Paul nods and Lexi goes silent again. Soon, her breathing slows and he looks down, noticing she's fast asleep. He grabs his cell phone, dialing Shawn's number. After 3 rings, he finally answers.
"Do you know what time it is?" Shawn grumbles sleepily.
"Shawn I want her to love me again," Paul states, "because I still love her."
RAW, SAN ANTONIO, TX
The three pull up to the arena and Shawn jumps out of the car, bouncing around. The fans waiting burst into cheers and Shawn runs over to them, signing autographs and taking pictures. Lexi gets out of the car and her and Paul head over to where Shawn is. Paul signs autographs and Lexi stands back, watching. She hears a voice call out her name and she turns to see a little boy about 7, waving at her. She walks up to him, smiling at him.
"Hey there, what's your name?" Lexi asks sweetly.
"Tommy," the boy shyly replies, "can you sign my shirt?"
Lexi nods and grabs the marker and scrawls her name on it, next to Paul's. She gives the marker back and kisses the boy on the cheek.
"Thanks! You're my favorite!"
Paul grabs her arm, nodding towards the building, where Shawn is waiting. She follows them in and they walk down to their locker room. Shawn pushes the door open to see his wife, daughter, and son waiting for him. He rushes in, hugging all three and then turning his attention back to Paul and Lexi.
"Amber, you know Paul, this is Lexi," Shawn introduces (A/N: I know Shawn's wife's name isn't Amber, I just made one up! Same with the kids names)
"Nice to meet you Lexi," Amber states, shaking Lexi's hand, "are you Paul's girlfriend?"
"Yeah," Paul answers, wrapping an arm around Lexi's shoulders, "she's also our manager."
"How sweet!" Amber exclaims, "this is Karissa and Jonathan."
Lexi glares at Paul who shrugs before kneeling down next to the kids.
"Uncle Paul!" Karissa states happily, hugging him tightly, "we missed you!"
"Right back at you kiddo," Paul replies, hugging Jonathan, "hows the future WWE champion?"
"Awesome!" Jonathan says, "I'm gonna be just like my daddy!"
Lexi smiles as Paul plays around with the kids. Amber places a hand on her shoulder, causing Lexi to look at her.
"Why don't we head down to catering so we can chat?" Amber suggests.
Lexi nods and they head down to catering. They both grab a water and find a table to sit down at.
"So, you and Paul are an item huh?" Amber asks, smiling at her, "Paul needs someone like you in his life, you'll do him good."
"Yeah," Lexi mumbles, "how old are your kids?"
"Karissa is going to be 10 and Jonathan is 6," Amber states, "when did you become their manager?"
"A couple weeks ago," Lexi answers, "it felt good to get back in the business again. I used to be the manager for DX about 8 years ago."
"I thought you looked familiar," Amber says, "here comes trouble."
They turn to see Paul and Shawn racing down the hall, Paul with Karissa on his back, and Shawn with Jonathan on his. They run into catering and Karissa throws her hands up in victory.
"Yay! We won!" She exclaims happily, "we beat you daddy!"
They four walk over to the table and Paul sits down next to Lexi, smiling at her.
"You're going to make an excellent father," Lexi whispers to him.
Paul smiles and grasps her hand in his. They talk until Shawn glances down at his watch.
"Time to get ready guys, we're up first," Shawn announces, "hon, do you know where your seats are?"
Amber nods and gives Shawn a kiss good luck before heading out to their seats. Lexi punches Paul in the arm hard, causing him to grunt.
"What the hell was that for!" Paul demands, rubbing his arm.
"For telling Amber we're a couple," Lexi hisses, "you're such an ass."
"So you've told me before," Paul replies, laughing, "oh come on, you loved that I said you were my girlfriend."
"You wish!" Lexi shoots back, following Shawn to the gorilla area.
Paul watches her sashay away and shakes his head, following her. Lexi reaches Shawn, who's jumping up and down, hyping himself up. She places a hand on his shoulder, smiling.
"Ready?" Lexi asks softly as Paul joins them.
"You bet! I can't wait to see everyone!" Shawn replies as their music hits, "let's do this!"
They walk out from behind the curtain to a thunderous pop. Shawn bounces around as Paul and Lexi follow behind. The fans chat 'DX' as they get in the ring with Shawn grabbing two mics, one for Paul and one for himself.
"Hold on a second, were we supposed to wear our new shirts?" Paul asks, looking down at the older DX shirt.
"Yes!" Shawn states, "and they are available at souvenir stands all over the building!"
"Well, I'm wearing the original shirt, as is Lexi and you can get these shirts at souvenir stands all over the building as well!" Paul exclaims.
"You can get all your DX merchandise at stands all over the building or at WWEShop. Com!" Shawn says, stuttering slightly.
"Easy Miz," Paul jokes, "McMahon is in a bad mood tonight, you know that?"
"Vince is on edge, and rumor has it that we have something to do with it," Shawn states.
"What could we have done to make Vince mad?" Paul asks as Lexi shrugs, "should we stop doing things to Vince?"
"Vince is reeaalllly angry at us," Shawn mocks, "and him and his son, Shane, want us right here and right now."
"Kinda like how I want Lexi right here and right now?" Paul smirks, wrapping an arm around Lexi.
"No, not it that way!" Shawn replies, "they want to kick out butts!"
Lexi mock gasps and chuckles.
"No one wants to see Vince and Shane fight DX right here in Shawn's hometown," Paul shrugs as the crowd pops, "hold on a second, maybe I'm wrong, maybe the people here would be interested in seeing it. Maybe we should make a match with the two of them VS DX tonight!"
"It's official then!" Shawn announces happily.
"Can we do that?" Paul questions as Lexi grabs the mic.
"Of course we can!" Lexi reassures him, "who is going to stop us?"
Suddenly, Vince's music hits and him and Shane walk out, stopping atop the stage. Paul and Shawn act scared as the crowd boos the McMahon's.
"Last time I checked, the three of you were a bunch of juvenile delinquents!" Vince roars, " last time I checked, you three didn't run things around here! I am sick and tired of watching you guys make fools of us every week! It's not about what the fans want, it's about what the McMahon's want."
The crowd boos at that statement and Lexi leans against Paul, yawning.
"As far as the challenge is concerned, I have two words for you….Shane O'Mac," Vince states, smirking, "tonight, in that very ring, Shawn Michaels will go one on one with my son Shane!"
Shane stares in shock at his father as the crowd chants for Shawn. He grabs the mic and directs his attention back to the ring.
"Shut up!" Shane yells, "as far as your impression of me a few weeks ago, you're impression sucked! I'm not a teenager on crack and I have more talent then the three of you combined! I'm going to up the stakes, Shawn, you can have Hunter and that no good slut, Lexi in you're corner and I'll have my father, Vince, in mine! All these fans will not only remember the Alamo, but they'll also remember that Shane O'Mac defeated their hometown boy, 1-2-3!"
Their music hits and Lexi glares at Shane, but Shawn squeezes her hand for comfort. They head to the back and Lexi lets out a growl.
"I'm gonna kill that bitch!" Lexi yells, "who the hell does he think he is calling me a slut!"
Paul watches as she flips over a crate and storms down the hall. Both him and Shawn follow as she storms up to the McMahon locker room. She pounds on the door and Shane opens it, smirking.
"Looking for a buck?" Shane states as Lexi glares at him.
"Who the hell do you think you are calling me a slut!" Lexi screams, "I'm going to kill you!"
"Ah, I don't think so," Shane scolds, "you lay a finger on me, I'll have you arrested, that wouldn't be to good would it?"
Lexi steps closer to Shane so they're nose to nose.
"Watch yourself McMahon," Lexi warns, "I'm going to get you good."
Shane chuckles and shuts the door in her face. Lexi growls and punches the brick wall, letting out a yelp of pain. Paul walks up to her and grabs her hand in his, looking at her knuckles.
"That stupid son of a bitch," Lexi mumbles as Paul pokes her hand, "ow damn it that hurts!"
"Better get some ice," Paul states softly, "that was stupid."
"I know, let it go," Lexi replies.
They walk down to the trainer and after getting Lexi's hand okayed they walk back down to their locker room. They spot the Highlanders down the hall and Shawn smiles.
"Lets go have some fun," Shawn states as they walk up to them.
"Congratulations on making it to the WWE," Paul states as Rory and Robbie scratch themselves.
"Have you met Vince yet?" Shawn asks.
The two shake their heads and Lexi smiles.
"Mr. McMahon loves initiative," Paul states, "but you'll need to talk loud because Vince has a problem with hearing."
"Yeah he also likes male bonding, you know, hugging and oh, slap him on the butt," Shawn smiles, "he'll love that!"
Robbie and Rory smile and nod, slapping Lexi on the ass before leaving.
"Ow!" Lexi says, rubbing her backside, "which one was Robbie?"
"The one in the kilt," Paul replies, "come on, lets go."
They head back to their locker room and watch Raw. Soon, it's Shawn's match and they head out to the gorilla area. Lexi rubs Shawn's shoulders and they hear DX's music playing. They head out to see Shane and Vince already in the ring. They all slap hands before Lexi and Paul get out of the ring and Vince to his side of the ring.
"What ever happens, don't get involved," Paul whispers as the bell rings.
LATER ON, DURING THE MATCH
Shawn goes for the Sweet Chin Music on Shane, but Vince grabs his ankle, pulling him to the outside. Paul goes after Vince as the Spirit Squad comes out from under the ring to beat on Shawn. Paul rushes over to Squad and fights them off, but Shane low blows him, then tosses him into the steps. Lexi runs over to Paul, placing her hands on his chest.
"Paul!" Lexi states, worry flooding her face, "get up hon!"
"Lexi, get the hell out of here," Paul hisses, "don't let them get you."
Lexi looks up to see Shawn land on his feet as the Squad tries to hit the High Spirits on him. Shawn tries to fight back, but they're too much for him, hitting him with the High Spirits. She sees Shane grab a chair and head for Paul. Lexi stands up in front of Paul, grabbing the chair from Shane. Shane pulls back and hits her in the stomach with the chair before nailing Paul with it. He tosses the chair to the Squad who sets two chairs up, side by side. Paul stirs and reaches under the ring, pulling out his sledgehammer and sliding into the ring, nailing each member with it. Shawn grabs a chair and nails them with that.
"Where's Lexi?" Shawn asks Paul.
Paul points to her, on the ground, curled up in a ball. They stare down the McMahon's before sliding out of the ring to check on Lexi.
"Doll, you ok?" Shawn asks, concern flooding his face.
"Fine," Lexi states through clenched teeth.
Both Paul and Shawn help her to her feet and to the back. Amber and the kids are waiting and instead of changing they all head back to Shawn's ranch.
"I hope you don't mind sharing a room," Amber says to Paul and Lexi.
They shake their heads and Amber shows them to their room. As she shuts the door, Paul turns to Lexi, anger in his eyes.
"What the hell did I tell you!" Paul roars, "DON'T GET INVOLVED!"
"Save it Paul," Lexi spits out, "you were in trouble, I had to help."
"Bullshit!" Paul retorts, "I can handle a chair shot, you cant! You don't listen do you!"
He sees the fire flash in Lexi's eyes as she steps closer to him. She rears back and slaps him hard. He growls and looks down at her, breathing deeply.
"Come on, hit me again," Paul dares, "give me your best shot."
Lexi goes to hit him again but he grabs her arm, pinning it behind her back. He pulls her forward, crashing into his body. His lips crash down on hers as he kisses her fiercely. He shoves her down on the bed, straddling her hips, kissing her again, harder. He doesn't break the kiss as he rips off her DX shirt. He sits up and pulls off his shirt, staring down at Lexi. Her chest rises and falls as she stares up at him in anger.
"I'm going to fuck the shit out of you," Paul mumbles, kissing her again.
His hand finds her jeans and he unbuttons them, pushing them down. He pushes off his own jeans and she pushes at him.
"I'm not your fuck buddy," Lexi hisses as he rips off her thong.
"Tonight you're mine," Paul states, plunging into her.
Lexi gasps in surprise, digging her nails into his back. He pulls out and pushes back into her. They rock together and soon they both climax. Paul flops down on top of her and kisses her neck. Lexi flips him over, so she's straddling him.
"Don't think you can start something and not finish," Lexi says, pulling off her bra and pushing herself down on Paul.
They make love again and again before falling asleep around dawn.
