Chapter 2 - Daddy's Little Girl

"So what do you think Vince wants with you, Ems?" my brother Jeff asked me sitting opposite me on the dining table as we ate dinner of baked potatoes, fried chicken and salad.

I looked up from my plate while fiddling with my fork when I heard his voice.

"I dunno really, knowing Vince it could be anything" I shrugged a shoulder.

"Is there a possibility he wants you to come back possibly getting back in the ring" my mom said tucking a forkful into her mouth.

"Maybe, on the other hand he knows I'm retired and he respected that decision when I made it, maybe he just wants to see me to catch up since the show is nearby"

"Well don't be too hasty honey, if he has something to offer then listen and make your own mind up and we'll support you" Dad smiled at me which I returned.

"Maybe he wants you become his PA or something" Jeff joked, I pulled a face before throwing my napkin at him. It landed squarely on his chest.

"Shut up douche" I said harshly.

"Now settle down the pair of you and Emma none of that language at the table" mom said sternly.

"Sorry mom" I said quietly.

"Yeah sorry mom" Jeff also said. We weren't too old to get a good telling off.

"Back to the topic we were discussing" Dad said changing the subject back.

"Whatever he has summoned me for better be good, I'm driving 100 miles to see him. Gonna be weird going back after all this time" I admitted.

"You'll be fine sweetie, keep you head up high" Dad said encouragingly.

"I will"

"How's Chris doing? Why didn't you bring him over with you" Mom then asked causing my stomach to turn.

"Errm yeah I've been meaning to tell you guys that..me and Chris…err broke up a couple of months ago" I stuttered nervously waiting for a reaction.

"Oh Emma why didn't you tell us sooner" mom said disappointment in her voice.

"I dunno, I just wanted to deal with it first before telling you. I'm sorry I didn't say anything" I said ashamed I didn't let them know.

"That's ok honey, tell us what happened" Dad said softly.

"We're just two different people from when we were kids, it was nice while it lasted but I couldn't string him along" I explained hoping that was enough not wanting to reveal the real reason.

"What was wrong with him? He's nice man with a good job, handsome, athletic, kind and he loved you Emma. I always thought you two would settle down get married and have kids. Don't you want all that? I mean your 31 years old and the biological clock is ticking. If you didn't run away and start wrestling maybe you would have had all those things by now…. all those things that normal people have, you know I blame Steve for this for the way you turned out.." she rambled on making me feel like shit. I'd have enough and interrupted her by standing up from my seat.

"Would you excuse me" I mumbled quietly, leaving the table almost storming off before I could get a response and heading out the dining room and through the kitchen, I headed out the back door to the back yard and plonked myself on the wooden bench that was out there.

I just sat for few minutes watching the world go by, smiling slightly remembering the memories I had here as a kid. I looked down to my lap sadness washing over me as I thought about my mother's words, I felt tears prick my eyes and I tried to blink them away.

"A lot of good times out here huh?" I heard my dad's voice say to my right.

"Yeah" I relied quietly.

"She doesn't mean it honey, she just cares" he said sitting down next to me.

I rolled my eyes not believing him that didn't mean what she said "She's right though isn't she?"

"No, if anything she's dead wrong" I looked confused at him "This is your life, your decisions to make. You chose your career path knowing sacrifices in your personal life had to be made, that was all your decision and I know you stand by that 100%." he said supportively "Do you know the first time I realised you loved your job?" I shook my head no "I always knew you loved what you did but it really hit home when you got injured, you sat on that couch in there with you leg propped up on a cushion every Monday and Thursday and watched the shows….I saw the pain and sadness in your eyes because you weren't there competing like you usually would be. You missed entertaining those people like mad and I knew that was eating away at you. If anything watching the shows made you even more determined then I've ever seen you and you said to me the day of your surgery "Dad I don't care if it nearly kills me, I'm defying the doctors and getting back in that ring someday" and I didn't doubt you for a second. I know how much this means to you and going back might just turn out to be very good thing. Face this head on and hey you get to see everyone again I know you miss Randy and some of the girls"

"Walking away was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Steve had taught me to never quit and I felt like I was doing just that except there was a reason, I couldn't take it anymore, I had my time and it was someone's chance" I explained.

"I understand. Steve did the same…. he knew his body couldn't take anymore so he made the smart decision to stop" there was a short pause "you know I sometimes I cannot believe you're my daughter" he admitted shocking me.

"Why not?"

"Because look at you, you're so beautiful and smart and talented and I just find that hard to believe me and your mother made and raised you and you grew up into what you are now" he said proudly.

"I'm nothing special dad" I shook my head disagreeing with him.

"Well I disagree. I know your confidence and self esteem have been down since you left but chin up." he smiled causing me to smile too "Now on to the subject of Chris" he said seriously and I groaned "now come on tell me what happened, you know you can talk to me"

"I already told you" I said not wanting to admit the truth.

"I know you Emma… there's more to this than you're letting on"

I sighed "Ok fine the truth is…" I hesitated "He errm Chris.. he asked me to marry him" I admitted.

"He did?" he asked shocked, I nodded slowly confirming what I just said.

"And I said no. I turned him down" I said waiting again for a reaction.

"Oh.. Well that was your decision.. kinda ties in to what your mother was saying, that's why your upset when she mentioned marriage and all that stuff"

"Yeah because I knew I had just turned a marriage proposal down and she's lecturing me about that exact same thing."

"It was a sensitive subject huh?" I nodded again.

"What's a matter with me dad? There he was right in front of me an amazing guy that cares for me so much and who wants to spend the rest of his life with me and I don't know something inside kept telling me to not to go there it told me not to be with him. The thing is it's really not him that's the problem it's me. I don't know what I want. I mean he's perfectly nice, kind, caring, handsome, has a great job and can take care of me, any woman who would be very lucky to have him like I used to but he's just.. I don't know…..he's not…" I stopped and took a deep breathe realising that "He's not John" I whispered realising the problem.

"Emma, honey you set your heart on someone and it's hard to let them go" he said.

"Very hard. You know even though he confessed to Randy he felt something for me, he didn't do squat about it. So much for him living today like it's his last, so much for taking chances. I mustn't have been worth the risk" I said sadly looking down again.

"I'm sure that's not true. Sometimes people mean so much to us that we can't express how we really feel" he said trying to make me feel better.

"I guess" I said feeling a breeze wash over me "it's getting a little chilly out here better get back inside" I said standing up.

"Yeah, are you ok?" he asked me standing up too.

"I'm fine thanks daddy" I smiled calling him the childish version of dad.

"That's my girl" he pinched my cheek "And anytime pumpkin" I giggled at the name he used to call me.

He began to walk away and I reached out and tugged on his hand causing him to stop in his tracks.

"Dad" he looked at me "if I ever disappointed you by becoming a pro wrestler instead of something 'normal' I'm sorry"

"You could never disappoint me and you have got to be kidding because I was nothing but proud of you. When I watched you on TV or live at events I would swell with pride. Going into work and have my colleagues talk about you and I got to say she's my daughter. I was always proud you followed your dreams and didn't end just 'normal' as you put it. So please don't ever think I was disappointed honey. I will be forever proud at all your achievements and no matter what you'll always be my little girl" he said proudly before kissing my cheek and walking back into the house leaving me alone.

I smirked to myself putting on my game face a face I haven't had for a while to get ready to return to everything I left behind over 12 months ago.

Monday Night RAW in Houston Texas here I come…
