Confrontations

(XXXX)

Shawn Michaels watched as his daughter slept soundly. Every once in a while the brunette would mumble something in her sleep and move from side to side as if trying to escape whatever was taunting her in her dreams. Shawn sighed shaking his head at the girl remember how not long ago she hadn't even been in his life and now several months later here they were sitting together in a car going to go find out the truth about why she was kidnapped and her mother, his wife, was killed.

This day for Shawn would be a day of justice, a day where his conscious could finally be put to ease about Rebecca's death. Shawn was finally going to find out the truth about why his life had become so screwed up and what had done to deserve it.

A soft mummer from the girl sitting in the passenger seat brought Shawn back to reality.

That girl, the one sitting right next to him, that's why he still did what he did every night. She was the reason that after Rebecca's death he had kept wrestling even in his pain and suffering. Lou was his little light that he knew no matter what was going to still be shining. Even when things looked completely bleak, Shawn knew he always had hope because he knew his little girl was still out there.

"I love you," she whispered in her sleep causing Shawn to smile.

That little girl was now a young woman who had joined him in doing what he loved. Even though for twenty years the father daughter duo had been apart, they were still family and would always be.

*a/n: This is the dream Lou is having while Shawn is driving… It will play a bigger part later on in the other two stories… Keep reading to find out what I mean…

(Lou's POV)

It was if I was having a weird out of body experience almost. I was standing in the middle of the ring between John and… Randy? Why the hell were Randy and John holding me back? On the opposite side was Alex and The Miz standing next to a blonde girl I had never seen before in my life.

"Fuck you, Riley!" the other me screamed as John and Randy held me back, "You pious ass!"

"Shut up, you self-centered whore!" Alex yelled back as him, Miz, and the blonde exited the ring with cheesy smirks plastered across their faces. But before exiting the ring Alex walked up to me and slapped me in the face.

I gasped aloud. How could the boy that I loved just done that to me? I loved him and he had just slapped me in the face, how could he, why would he? I wanted to slip down and cry as I watched my eyes bulge out of my head squirming trying to get John and Randy let go of me.

"How could you?" I whispered "I love you."

"Car, Car, Car," someone called to me knowing full well that Shawn was the only one to call me Car.

"Dad, Dad," I called out as the dream began to fade as I felt someone shaking me. Hopefully, I won't remember this dream and it will never come true…

(3rd Person POV)

"Car, we're here kiddo, wake up darling," Shawn whispered at his daughter. Louisa's eyes blinked open recalling the harsh dream she had just had about her beau. A knot swelled up in her gut and a sour taste filled her mouth remembering exactly how Alex had treated her. "Car, are you alright?"

Lou looked up at her father with her eyes looking more innocent than they ever had before.

"We don't have to do this if you don't want to." Shawn tried to reason with his daughter. Louisa shook her head. She needed this, Shawn needed this, hell everyone needed this but Shawn more than most. He needed to know the truth and know that this whole ordeal wasn't his fault.

"No, we've come too far and both have been through enough. I want to know the truth." Lou answered with perseverance, frustration, and anger etched across her face.

Shawn nodded. She really was his daughter.

The two stood on the stoop of the San Francisco townhouse looking at each other both scared and excited to finally find out the truth about what was going on.

"No matter what happens, we're in this together." Lou said as she rang the doorbell and Shawn nodded. He knew she was right.

They were a family now and always would be.

"More cookies and milk Louisa?" asked the woman Lou had commonly known as Gramms. But Lou was for certain that wasn't what she was anymore. "What about you Mr. Michaels? Would you like anything else?"

Yea, the reasoning behind why the hell you took my daughter, Shawn thought to himself while biting his tongue. It wasn't his place to tell this woman anything, it was all on Lou's shoulders now.

"No I think we're both good. But Gramms, Shawn and I need to talk to you about something." Lou said taking in a sharp nervous breath. Lou looked to Shawn who nodded. It was now or never, she thought to herself. She had to have her poker face on for this because she had no idea how this was going to go.

"Why didn't you tell me I was the daughter of Shawn and Rebecca Michaels?" Lou asked angrily as the elderly woman dropped the plate she was carrying and it shattered. Nothing but the echo of the plate shattering could be heard for several minutes as silence radiated the small townhouse.

The elderly woman's eyes narrowed and turned toward Shawn.

"You've gotten wiser as you aged, Michael," smirked the elderly woman, "You're not the idiot I pegged you for when you married my darling niece Rebecca."

"Niece," Shawn and Lou questioned with curiosity.

"Yes, goodness sakes Michael you really have taken to many kicks to the head." The grandmotherly woman said. "I always knew you weren't good enough for her."

"Wait a second," Shawn said stopping and looking at the woman before him for several seconds. "Your Rebecca's crazy Aunt Dorothy, the one we had to have removed from our wedding because you didn't want us to marry."

"And the Heart Break Kid finally gets it, took you long enough Michael." Dorothy answered and turned her attention to the little brunette that had remained oddly silent through the whole situation. "And let me guess, the little Heartbreaker came here to find out why I raised you didn't you?"

Lou stood frozen in her spot as the woman approached her.

"I could take you back sweetie. You can forget you met this delusional wrestler. You can forget about that big bad nasty Randy Orton and his Legacy. You don't have to go back you can just stay with me…"

"I came here to find out about my mother and put my past to rest. That's exactly what I intend to do you nasty old hag. So explain to me, why did you do it?" Lou said finding her voice watching the woman's eyes turn an icy color.

"You want to know why I did it, ruined Shawn Michael's life, killed Rebecca, and kidnapped you?" she scoffed as Shawn stood next to his daughter holding her in his arms. Dorothy sat down and sighed. "It wasn't supposed to happen like that.

"As you know Michael, I detested your marriage to my niece. I believed she could do better than a pro wrestler. For God sakes, a dolphin trainer at SeaWorld would have been better than you. So I devised a little plan.

"I decided that I would kidnap her and that little girl of yours while you were supposed to be on the road. And when you returned you'd would think she just up and left you. But you just had to take that day off. So the men felt with you their they couldn't take her as easily.

"I told them not to fire shots but they wouldn't listen. That bullet was supposed to be a warning shot but she had to protect you and Louisa.

"So with nowhere else to turn I took your daughter and raised her as my own. But the guilt slowly began to overwhelm me and that's when I knew it was time. I sent her to those with the full intention of you knowing exactly who she was once you saw her eyes.

"She's back with you and I'm sure you're both loving it, but there's one thing that I've learned from this and it's that I'm not sorry for what I did to your little family Michael Hickenbottom and I will never be."

Lou gasped at the woman who had supposedly been her grandmother for twenty years.

"You're a cold heartless unloved bitch Dorothy, you always have been and always will be." Shawn muttered as he walked out of the house angrily. Shortly after, Lou ran out after him.

"Shawn," she called out, "Shawn!"

God, what if he had left her here? They had been through so much and now he decided to just up and leave her just because of what an evil old woman said. Why would he do this to her? She thought that he loved her. She thought that her father was supposed to protect her, that he was to be her savior, that he was her support but what would she do with him gone?

"I'm right here Car," Shawn answered leaning against the rental car. "I just need some time to think, that was a lot to take in." Lou nodded in response to her father.

"She died saving the two of us," Lou whispered as tears slid down her face. Shawn silently nodded and cried with his daughter in his arms. His wife had given her life to keep him and Lou alive. That had to be the ultimate gift that anyone could a person, life.

"You know she wouldn't want to see you like this Car," Shawn told her while lifting her head up with his hand so he could see her eyes. "She wants you to be the brave strong young woman that I know you to be. She helped us find each other and find out the truth. This isn't a day for crying, it's a day to be happy we found out the truth."

"Dad, I love you." Lou said shoving her head into Shawn's shirt while hugging him.

"I love you too, Lou. I love you too."

Anyways sorry for no one-shot for you guys I was insanely busy with this paper on materialism that I have to write for my English class. It sucks! But please go check out: It's the Great Pumpkin, Alex Riley—a break off story from Listen to Her Voice, it's kind of cutesy with Alex and Lou.
