The next week, Tessa came into the arena with her son in his carseat. She put in ear plugs so that nothing wakes him up from his nap. She was wearing a ling sleeve v neck tshirt with denim blue jeans and black DC sneakers, her hair down, and she was sporting her reading glasses. She had Brayden in a Monday Night Raw onesie with blue jeans, white socks, a baby blue hat, and he was wrapped in his blanket. She looked around and saw that no one was in the arena so she figured she was late. So, she down in her seat and placed the careseat in the seat next to her. She pulled her phone out and she called Andy. "Did you make it to the arena?" He asked immediately.

"Yes I made it and now I'm just waiting for either one of them to come and get me" Tessa said.

"How's Brayden doing?" He asked.

Tessa looked down and she said "Sleeping like an angel"

"You have everything right?"

"Yes dad" Tessa joked. Then she saw Stephanie and Paul walking over to her. "I'll call you later Andy. Stephanie and Paul are coming"

"Alright have fun" Andy said and she hung up. "Hi Stephanie, Hi Paul"

Stephanie sat down and she looked at her husband "Paul take Brayden to our office and put him in the playpen"

"Oh no I don't think-" Tessa tried stopping Paul from taking her son, but Paul grabbed the careseat and the baby bag from Tessa and he made his way backstage. "Don't worry, he'll be fine" Stephanie said reassuringly.

"I don't feel comfortable without him" Tessa admitted.

"We'll be in the office soln enough. But I wanted to tell you something"

"And?"

"I managed to pull a few strings and you are now the newest store manager for Dollar General. And believe me, they will be paying you an amazing amount of money"

"How much?" Tessa said stunned.

"11.50 an hour" Stephanie said matter-of-factly.

Tessa's jaw dropped. Then she started to cry in her hands. "Sweetheart, why are you crying?"

Tessa looked at Stephanie and she said "I'm just so grateful that you're doing this for me and for my son"

"Tessa I wouldn't do this just for anyone. That day I first met you, I knew you were special. Me and my husband are just trying to help in the best way possible"

"Is the job in the area that I live in?" Tessa asked.

"Why don't we go backstage and talk more about this" Stephanie said. Then, Stephanie and Tessa stood up and they made their way backstage. They talked for all that time, then they entered the office where Tessa saw Seth holding Brayden. Her eyes widened and she immediately went to him and quickly grabbed her son and held him in her arms. "Why would you hold my son without my permission?" Tessa exclaimed.

"I'm sorry I didn't know it would be that big of a deal" Seth quickly defended.

"Not that big of a deal?!" Tessa pratically yelled at him. "He's only a month old it would be nice if you actually asked me to hold him"

"Sorry" Seth said as he raised his hands in defense. "I'll keep that in mind"

Tessa just glared at him and she put Brayden in the playpen that Paul set up. Stephanie slapped Seth's arm and she glared down at him. "Ow!" Seth said as he started to rub his arm. Then, Seth just looked at Tessa and he saw that she was a nervous wreck when it came to people holding her son. Seth looked at Stephanie and she said "She's fresh out of highschool. Can you blame her for being nervous when people held Brayden?"

Seth shrugged his shoulders and he said "I wouldn't know I never had a kid"

Stephanie looked at Tessa and she said "Tessa honey, why don't you go and get yourself something to eat, I'll stay here with Brayden"

Tessa was hesitant to leave, but she figured Stephanie wouldn't let anyone touch Brayden while she was away so she nodded her head and she left. She looked around for anything to give her some clues that she was heading into the food area of the arena. Then, she found it. She walked in, grabbed a plate and started grabbing food for herself. After she was done grabbing food, she went to one of the tables and she sat down and started to eat. When she looked to the side she saw Dean Ambrose sitting next to her eating as well. Dean looked at her and he said "Newbie?"

Tessa shook her head 'no'. "Special guest?" Dean asked

Tessa nodded her head 'yes'. "Fair enough" Dean said.

Tessa took a bite out of her food and she said "You're Dean Ambrose?"

Dean nodded his head 'yes' and then he added "At your service"

Tessa laughed alittle and she swallowed her food and she said "Very nice to meet you"

"And you are?" Dean asked.

"Tessa Adams"

"Cute name" Dean said. Tessa smirked and she said "Thanks"

Dean asked "So do you have any family here in the WWE?"

Tessa said after she took another bite out of her food "My family disowned me a few months ago"

Dean felt alittle bad for her so he said "Oh I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have a place to stay or anything like that?"

She nodded her head 'yes', then she took a sip from her waterbottle and she said "But, thank you for asking"

"You seem really young" Dean noted.

"I'm 17 years old and I'm living on my own" Tessa said with a shrug of her shoulders. Dean's eyes widened and he said "You're only 17!?"

Tessa nodded her head 'yes'. "They kicked me out and I had to find my own place, my own job and everything"

"How is it on your own?" Dean asked now curious about how a 17 year old can live on her own.

"Not easy. I lost my job last week but a friend that works here was able to get me a job at my local Dollar General"

"You live where exactly?"

"Here in Cincinnati, Ohio" Tessa said. Then as she finished her food, she stood up, grabbed her food, and she said "Thanks for talking to me"

Dean smiled at her and he said "Anytime"

Then, after she threw out her plate she was about to leave, then Dean said "Oh! Wait!"

Tessa stopped walking and she turned to meet Dean as he was running up to her. "Gimme your phone"

Tessa gave him a weird phone and she hesitantly gave him her phone. Dean tried unlocking it but he failed. So, he gave it back to Tessa to unlock it. She did and handed it back to Dean. Dean took it and he started typing something in her phone. After he was done, Dean handed it to her and he said "Text me"

Before she could say something back, Dean ran off.

Later that night, as Brayden was sleeping in his crib, Tessa was up still watching late night tv. She was wearing a grey tshirt, red pajama bottoms and green and black socks. She tied her hair up in a high ponytail and she held onto her phone tightly. Something urged her to check facebook so she did. As soon as she logged in, she saw that she had a message in it.
