Chapter 4.

"Hello?" The woman on the other end answered.

"Hello? Is Ashley there?" Gaby asked in a young voice.

"May I ask who's calling?

"It's Sara."

"Oh, sure Sara. Hang on."

"Hello?"

"Ashley?"

"Yeah, hey Sara, what's up?"

"Can you do me a favor and go in your room?"

"Sure." She replied slowly and headed up to her room and closed the door. She sat on the bed and waited for the rest of the conversation.

"Ashley, this is not Sara. My name is Gaby and I work on Smackdown with your dad."

"Oh, ok that's why I had to come in my room, so mom wouldn't hear. How is dad? He doesn't call here anymore."

"Honey, your dad called there today and wanted to talk to you. He really wants to see you and Shayla. He will be in town next weekend. Does your mom let you and Shayla go to the mall with your friends?"

"Yeah, she drops us off sometimes. Why?"

"Do you think you could tell her that Sara wants to hang out at the mall with you next weekend? That way your dad gets to see you."

"Yeah, let me go ask her right now. Hang on, I'll be right back." Ashley laid the phone down on her bed and ran downstairs to ask her mom.

"Dave, she's asking Angie right now. Do you want to talk to her when she comes back on?"

"Yeah." Dave closed his eyes for a moment. He was very grateful that he had decided to talk to Gaby. She handed him the phone as he opened his eyes.

"Mom said that she had no problem dropping me off next Saturday. I just need to know what time."

"I can't wait to see you baby." Dave said quietly almost not believing that he was talking to his oldest girl.

"Daddy?" She whispered almost as quietly. "Hi daddy! How are you? I can't wait to see you next weekend."

"I can't wait to see you either baby. I love you so much. How about 12? That way we can have lunch together. Is that ok?"

"Yeah, that sounds great Sara. Mom, Sara said around noon so that we can eat lunch at Chic- fil- a. Is that ok?" Dave realized that Angie must have walked into the room.

"Yeah honey that's fine. Dinner will be ready soon ok, so don't stay on the phone much longer."

"I won't mom." She paused until her door shut and she was sure her mom had gone back downstairs. "Sorry about that daddy. Well, I better go. I want to talk to you more often though. How can I?"

"Give her my number Dave. She can call my phone and I will come find you whenever she calls." Dave gave Ashley Gaby's number and told her to tell her sister that he loved them both very much and to find out if Shayla could tag along to the mall before they said their goodbyes.

"Thank you so much Gaby. That was the first time that I have talked to either of my girls in almost 6 months. Thank you." He repeated as he hugged her tightly. "This means so much to me. I am really sorry about yelling at you in the club last week. I just, it's just been really hard." Dave looked down at his watch. "Oh shit, I gotta warm up quickly. I have a match with Orlando Jordan in about 5 minutes. Thanks again Gaby."

"No problem Dave. I'll see you later." She headed out of his dressing room as he pulled his shirt off to change clothes. She headed to the catering area to see what needed to be done in there.

"Gaby, where the hell have you been?" Lucy asked as soon as she spotted her.

"Oh, I had some, uh, business to take care of." She stumbled thinking about the conversation she just had with Dave. Lucy looked at her knowing that there was more than Gaby was telling her, but decided to drop it.

"So, what are we doing this weekend?" Lucy asked.

"I don't know yet. There has to be tons to do in our country's capital. I'm sure we can think of something. Oh, hey, Batista's match is on. Let's take a break." Gaby and Lucy pulled up chairs next to the TV in catering. Dave was battling Orlando Jordan and he had the upper hand. Gaby kept an eye on JBL, you never could trust that man.

"Hello Ladies." Randy said in his best Val Venis impersonation. "You guys look very interested in the match, specifically you Gaby. Any reason for that?" Randy asked with one eyebrow raised.

"Don't you have some post match stretching to do or something?"

"Nope, and that leaves me free to ask why you were in Dave's dressing room for so long?"

"Oh, so that's where you were. You were in Dave's dressing room. So that was the business you had to take care of. Mm- hm. Care to elaborate?" Lucy inquired.

"Dave had a question about something and I answered it for him. That's all."

"Was the question if you thought he was sexy?" Randy asked, then continued in a fake swooning female voice, "Oh yes Dave, I think you are the sexiest man alive. I love you so much."

"I had no idea you felt that way about me Randy. I must say that I am flattered, but you aren't exactly my type. Sorry." Dave said laughing as he walked in to get a water after winning his match.

"No, I was making fun of Gaby, I wasn't saying that I- how could you even think - shut up." Randy stormed out of the room s the other three stood there laughing.

"I guess Randy should be glad that none of the other guys were in the room cause he would NEVER live that down." Lucy stated. "That was perfect timing Dave."

"Yeah. Well, I'm gonna head back to the hotel. Thanks for earlier Gaby. I'll talk to you later." He said smiling before he left.

"What was he thanking you for, huh? Huh? Huh?"

"I told you. He asked me a question, and I answered it. It was personal, and I don't think he would want me to discuss it with you."

"Fine. Let's finish up here and get back to the hotel. I'm ready for bed." Lucy responded. They finished cleaning catering and headed back to the hotel.

Once back at the hotel, Lucy told Gaby that she was going to run on the treadmill in the hotel gym. As she walked in, she noticed Dave bench pressing some weights. "Hey Dave." She said in a solemn tone as she approached him. "Sorry to hear about everything that you are going through. It must be a really difficult time for you." She said placing one hand on his shoulder.

"Gaby told you what I was going through? I can't believe she would tell you that. I thought I could trust her. She knows how I feel about my daughters and about not getting to talk to them. So I guess she told you Angie said I was a bad father? Yeah well, don't worry you won't be hearing anything else about my life, because neither will Gaby." He angrily grabbed his towel and workout bag and headed up to his room.

"That was too easy. I don't like it when people keep secrets from me, and I always find out what it is no matter what." Lucy said to herself before heading to the hotel restaurant to grab a bite to eat.

A/N: Dun dun dun. I thought I needed to add a twist and some conflict, so there it is. What do you guys think?
