Dani sauntered through the halls of the WWE arena with her hands in the pockets of her hoodie. She had the hood up and her head was down. She'd woken with a mind-splitting head ache and unfortunately, it didn't seem to be planning on getting better any time soon. She approached the gorilla position and the sounds of a large crowd began to ring in her ears.

She slid off her hoodie and gave a huff as she handed it to one of the members of the backstage crew. She flinched slightly as she felt two strong arms wrap around her body. A sharp pain radiated from her head and she winced.

Dani turned around to see Cody standing behind her with a grin.

"Not now Cody…" Dani said in a flat tone. She pushed away from Cody and headed out onto the stage as her music hit. She was scheduled for a mixed tag team match with Alberto Del Rio against Kofi Kingston and Eve Torres.

Eve had been Dani's only friend since joining the WWE and there were rumors that she wanted to leave. Great, right?

Ricardo Rodriguez stepped out onto the stage as Dani slid into the ring. He cleared his throat before announcing Del Rio, who came out onto the stage as confident as ever.

There was a chorus of boos radiating from the crowd as Del Rio slid into the ring. He stood next to Dani and waited for their competitors.

Dani leaned against the ropes of the ring as their competitors sauntered down to the ring.

The longer Dani waited, the worse her head became.

The bell sounded and Dani slid out of the ring, bringing a hand up to her head.

Del Rio gained the upper hand as he knocked Kofi to the ground. He show boated a bit and turned to Dani. He blew her a kiss, then felt a sharp kick hit the back of his head.

Dani rolled her eyes and mouthed "Dumb ass." Before leaning against the ring post.

Del Rio tagged out and Dani slumped her shoulders before sending a barrage of kicks to Eve's mid-section.

She tagged back out to Del Rio and in two minutes tops, the bell sounded for the end of the match.

Kofi and Eve held their hands up in victory as Dani slid back into the ring. She found the fallen Del Rio and helped him up.

"Thank you darling."

Dani growled slightly before slapping Del Rio across the cheek.

"Don't mention it!" She replied in an icy tone before stalking back up to the stage. She went back to the gorilla position and was met by Nick.

"Hey, you alright Dani?" His tone sounded concerned.

"I've got a damn head ache and just want to be left alone." She clutched her head with a slow huff. "Either that , or I need someone to tend to my every need." She chuckled lowly and gave a slight wink.

"I think I could do that..." Nick replied crossing his arms over his chest and averting his bright eyes toward the ground.

"What are you gonna do? Grab a member of Team Ziggy to take care of me?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to do!"

"Which one of those guys are going to be willing to take care of my sick whining ass?" Dani asked with a sharp unintended edge to her voice.

"I've got an idea, go on ahead, I'll send him to your locker room." Nick gave a gentle hug to his sister before smiling. "Feel better, little one." He sounded for once like he actually meant that sincerely.

"Thanks Nick."

Dani had already taken a shower and was gingerly drying herself off when there was a knock at the door.

"Come on in," Dani called as she slid on a pair of jeans.

Wade Barrett opened the door with a small smile.

"Oh," he paused a moment realizing that Dani was in a pair of jeans and a black bra.

"What?" Dani asked straightening out and grabbing one of her brother's 'stealing the show' shirts and sliding it on. "Divas wrestle in less than this half the time. Quit gawking and grab my hoodie would you?" She pointed over to her locker. There was a black WWE'13 hoodie hanging in the space.

Wade allowed a small smirk to tug at the corners of his lips and he nodded slowly. "Sure thing, Dan."

"So how much of a bribe did Nick give you?" Dani asked as Wade handed her the hoodie. She quickly pulled it on and zipped it up.

"What do you mean?" Wade sounded genuinely confused at her question.

"Well, what do you mean, what do I mean?" Dani pulled her dark hair back in a high ponytail and grinned. Her hazel eyes were gleaming with mischief as she sat down.

"You know what I mean!" Wade snapped i a playful tone. "Good God, this is getting confusing!"

"That it is old chap." Dani replied grabbing her gym bag and slinging it over her shoulder. She took too sudden of a movement and her head began to pound once more. "Damn!"

"Come on, let's get to our hotel so you can relax." Wade shoved one hand into his pocket and draped the other loosely around Dani's shoulder.

As the two walked toward the hotel Dani winced again and held her stomach. Wade turned and raised an eyebrow.

"Are you going to live?" He asked opening the door for her.

"Yeah, I hope so." Dani leaned on Wade for support. In reality she could hardly keep her head up and she felt as if she was going to throw up.

"I'll tell you what," Wade walking into the hotel lobby and snatched Dani's gym bag from her hands. "You go sit over there while I check in, pull up the hood on your jacket, unless you want someone to come up to you begging for an autograph and picture. I'll be there in just a minute,"

Dani did so without another word and she sat down slowly on the comfortable couch below her. She took a deep breath and pulled her hood up as she was instructed, then leaned back in her seat.

It didn't take very long for Wade to finish checking in, but he was stopped to get an autograph. He gave a chipper smile and signed a piece of paper for the person willingly.

Dani closed her hazel eyes and sighed quietly. She slowly tapped her foot against the tiled floor beneath her and she shoved her hands into her pockets. She drowned out the noise that rang out through the lobby and bit her lip.

She felt someone nudge her on the shoulder and her eyes snapped open. She looked up to see Wade extending his hand to her with a look of worry in his eyes.

"Why don't you let me carry you darling?" He asked in his distinct English accent.

Dani gave a short, subtle nod and stood up on tired legs. She suddenly felt extremely exhausted and she wasn't going to complain that her brother had gotten her a baby sitter.

She felt Wade wrap an arm around her upper back, and then he swept her off her feet. He carried her wedding-style to the elevator, then pressed the button. He waited casually, feeling Dani shift ever-so-slightly in his muscly arms.

He got up to their room and the girl in his arms had already fallen asleep. He gave a huff, knowing that he wouldn't be able to open door to their room with Dani in his arms.

"Dani," he whispered quietly. "Hey Dan, I have to put you down for a second."

Dani's eyes slowly re-opened and she nodded slowly. Wade carefully put her down and unlocked the door.

"I'm guessing that you want to go to sleep now?"

"Not really…" Dani replied walking in and falling down onto the bed. "Could we watch a movie or something?'

"Sure thing. Do you have any guidelines for the flick?"

"If I tell you something, can you keep it a secret?"

Wade nodded locking eyes with the girl who finally sat back up.

"I kinda like cheesy romance movies, could we watch one?"

Wade just looked at her for a moment and then nodded. "Yeah, I suppose." He said with a little grin. In all honesty, he loved to sit down and watch romances after a hard day's work. "How about you go get some pajamas on and I'll fix some snacks and order a movie?"

"That sounds great!" Dani leaned down and fished around in her bag for something to sleep in. "You've got to be fucking with me." She growled sitting back up. "I guess I'm sleeping in this."

"That looks insanely uncomfortable." Wade said popping a bag of popcorn into the microwave. "Wait here." He said pressing start on the machine, then heading toward the bathroom. He reemerged in a pair of plaid sleeping pants and a Randy Orton t-shirt.

Dani gave a scoff at his outfit and rolled her eyes.

"I didn't know that you were an Orton fan."

"Isn't everyone?"

"Touché." Dani replied kicking off her converse.

"Why don't you wear this?" Wade tossed her one of his old Nexus t-shirts and headed back over to the kitchen.

"Sounds good." Dani said standing up and walking toward the bathroom. Her head was aching once again and she slowly shut the door behind her. She spun around a little too quickly and she looked down through squinted eyes.

Laid out on the sink was a Tylenol and a small cup of water. She couldn't help but smile at how sweet Wade was. She quickly got dressed in her, Wade's, t-shirt and slid on a pair of black yoga pants. She took the pill and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt her eyes sting and she grumbled. She grabbed her contact lens holder and quickly took the contacts out of her eyes. She blinked a few times, and then slid on a pair of nerdy glasses.

She frowned slightly and returned to the living room/bed room area. Wade was sitting on the only bed in the room with a bowl of popcorn in his lap. There was a cup of hot chocolate on the nightstand and Dani picked it up with a smile.

"I didn't know you wore glasses!" Wade exclaimed pressing the play button on the TV remote.

"Don't remind me dork." Dani replied lazily sitting down and propping the pillows up on the bed.

Wade chuckled quietly and handed her the bowl of popcorn. He took a drink of the tea that he'd fixed himself as the movie 'The Notebook' began to play.

"I thought you'd like this one."

"Are you kidding? O love The Notebook!'

"As do I Dan, as do I." Wade smiled and took another sip of his tea before relaxing and turning his attention toward the television screen.
