Two weeks later and AJ with Punk were back from the honeymoon, as happy as anything. They were surprised to be welcomed back by a small party, with everyone expect Emma, Summer and Dolph there. To the couple's surprise Kaitlyn was also there holding the hand of a toddler in her own one. A little girl to be exact. AJ hugged all of them especially Kaitlyn as it had been a while since any of them had seen her, she had freaked out one day after the Dolph/Summer thing, and hadn't gotten in contact to say she was alright for months, they hadn't seen her at work for a while either which worried them since they cared for her.
"And who is this little princess?" asked AJ when she leant down in front of the little girl. The had longish curly sandy brown hair, with big chocolate brown eyes. She was dressed in a pair of jeans and a I'm mommy's little princess t-shirt. It was clear the little girl was shy when she hid behind Kaitlyn's legs as well as sucking on her thumb. Most of them around had guessed her age to be about two or three but none of them could be for sure. Kaitlyn smiled down at the young girl when she looked up, she knew all of her friends were wondering who the little lady was and also what the connection between the pair of them were. It was going to be hard to explain but she knew she owed them that much.
"This little lady is Celeste. She is my two and a half year old daughter" said Kaitlyn seeing the surprise cross everyone's faces. She hadn't told any of them she was pregnant, the only one she did tell was the father but he hadn't taken much of an interest her, not even going to the scans she had invited him to or the play dates. It had gotten to the point now she just didn't want him to be around their daughter, she had come to the conclusion that Celeste was better off without her father since he would only let her down as he had always done. "I wouldn't have brought her along but I couldn't find a babysitter and her father is a complete jack-ass" added Kaitlyn seeing the disappointed looks she was receiving from the others around her.
"Hi Princess Celeste, I'm AJ, this is my husband Punk, and these guys are Paige, Bayley, Layla, Justin, Sami, Adam, Randy, Adrian, Seth, Dean and Roman. Your mummy's friends. It's good to finally meet you" said AJ introducing everyone to the young girl and shaking her hand. Seeing the small toothy smile was given from Celeste caused her to smile as well. "This is Paige's apartment by the way" added AJ informing the young child on who was the owner of the place she was in, they knew they had to change their plans to cater for a young child now. But AJ didn't know if they had any games for a small child to play.
"I'll go and get Princess Celeste and Queen Kaitlyn a drink, and there are some games my mum brought over in the closet over there" spoke Paige as she made her way over to the kitchen, she had to admit she was happy to see Kaitlyn again and surprised like the rest to learn she had a daughter. She was thankful for her mother bringing some games she played as a child over. When she returned she had a plastic cup with soft juice in for Celeste and another one for Kaitlyn since she guessed she would be driving home so she gave fizzy pop to Kaitlyn, who smiled and said thank you. Roman come back with a pile of games from the closet that Paige had mentioned seeing Celeste's face light up.
"Honestly you guys are amazing, this was supposed to be AJ and Punk's welcome home party instead you've turned it into a child's entertaining one. And Paige why on earth do you have a bunch of games stashed in your closet?" said Kaitlyn, she couldn't remember why she felt so scared about telling the misfits about her pregnancy, she knew they would accept her no matter what and most likely have helped her through the entire thing. Her parents had told her to stand on her own to feet when she told them, and the father didn't want to know, she should have known she could turn to them, especially with how they had accepted her back with Celeste like they had known her since she was born.
"My mum brought them over the other day, they are games me and my brothers played as children, she shared them out equally between us, giving each of us our favourite ones. I didn't know what to do with them so I put them in my storage area with all my other childhood things" replied Paige, gesturing for Celeste to choose a game she wanted to play, the little girl seemed overwhelmed and didn't seem phased by the knocking on the door, they all knew it was Dolph, Summer and Emma, as Emma had kindly given them the heads up before hand. Kaitlyn to had be warned, just so she knew.
Paige being polite opened the door to them and at the request of the others let them in, she knew Emma meant no harm and she had apologised to AJ and Punk when they had returned how during the day, they had accepted her apology understanding she was upset and shocked at what she had been told. Summer and Dolph however had smug looks planted firmly on their faces, while Dolph did until he seen little Celeste, who was more occupied with trying to pick which game she wanted to play rather than the three who walked through the door. She simply smiled and tapped Adam on the leg when she had decided which one she wanted to play. Twister. Adam leant down and nodded making sure to keep close to her, especially when Kaitlyn practically dragged Dolph and Summer in the kitchen,
"Hey Sun Beam how about we get this game set up, so you can kick everyone butts, just like your mommy used to do" said Adam seeing her smile and him, Paige and AJ moved the coffee table so they could play the game, they had a feeling that Celeste already knew how to play the game since she was so keen to set it up and start to play it. Emma had introduced herself to the small girl and asked if she could join in to which she had received the yes from everyone there. She was glad that AJ and Punk had forgiven her, they didn't have to. But they had, she had also come to accept that she and Seth were never meant to be so she was enjoying being single for a while while also having fun spending time with her friends and doing her job.
In the kitchen Kaitlyn was looking at the pairing of Dolph and Summer, she wanted to know why Dolph hadn't been there when she needed him the most and why he had walked out on her like he had. Summer still looked smug about something, but at this point Kaitlyn really couldn't have cared less, the woman was going to get her comeuppance sooner or later and she would be there to watch it. Dolph still looked rather shocked and maybe a little confused as to who Celeste was, at this point Kaitlyn was waiting for him to come out of it.
"That little girl, she has my smile, and hair type. Who is she?" said and asked Dolph, he was still yet to put the pieces together and at this point Kaitlyn hated the guy, just as much as she hated Summer for what she had done to the guy who would have given her everything, for tearing up the happiness everyone else was just because she could. It hurt still after all this time it hurt. Of course it was only after that she found out that Summer was still engaged to Dean when Dolph left her for Summer. If she could teach Summer a lesson on how to be a responsible grown up then she would as it would do everyone a favour.
"That little girl is your daughter, Celeste. The one you never wanted anything to do with, you never showed to any of the scans or even turned up to play dates. She is two and half Dolph she doesn't even know you just like you don't know her" replied Kaitlyn as calmly as possible, she seen the realisation dawn on his face. "Yeah Dolph that means I was pregnant when you left me for barbie doll over there. I was going to tell you that day, but when you said you're going to be with Summer, it became clear to me you didn't want to be a father" added Kaitlyn confirming that she was indeed pregnant when he had broke with her to go with Summer. She hated the pair of them.
"Can I see her please, get to know her. I'm her dad she at least should know who I am" replied Dolph slowly letting the knew sink in, it was the last thing he had expected when he arrived at the party to see a little girl that had his smile and hair type. He should have known something was up with Kaitlyn, but he let Summer convince him she was just making it up to try and get him back. Only now did he see that she was telling him the truth that he really was a father to a little girl. Celeste as Kaitlyn had named her. He felt guilty for what he had done and thinking or believing what Summer had told him, he was now starting to realising something.
"That depends Dolph, if you show you are ready to be the father she deserves then fine you can see her and get to know her. By the way she already knows you are her father, she doesn't know you walked out on me. She just knows you're with Summer and that eventually you will want to get to know her" spoke Kaitlyn in reply, revealing that she had shown her daughter pictures of the man that was her father, that she had told her daughter about him even if they weren't together and that he refused to believe she really existed until now. Summer just scoffed to herself clearly not impressed that Kaitlyn had something she didn't that could get Dolph's attention, she didn't like competition and right now that was exactly what she had.
"Who's to say the kid is actually Dolph's, I mean come on you could have cheated on him, just like we all know you would have" said Summer, receiving a glare of dagger from Kaitlyn who walked up to her, she had fury burning rather brightly in her eyes at what the other woman had just said. That was when Kaitlyn could no longer hold back and slapped Summer around the face as hard as she could muster, it must have been loud if Paige and AJ came in to see what was going on, to which Dolph quickly explained what was happening to them, as well as asking for Dean, Paige nodded and went to fetch him, as to be expected he was curious and would have preferred not to be anywhere near Summer.
"Just because you were enough of a bitch to break Dean's heart by cheating on him, doesn't mean I would have done the same to Dolph. Not everyone is as self-centred as you Summer, like the rest of the misfits I care about others and how their feeling, I wouldn't just make up a pregnancy to get a man back, I'm not a gold digging self centre bitch they you, and I hope I never see you again, everyone here is better of without you" said Kaitlyn all of a sudden, AJ and Paige could tell she was letting out her pent up anger for what the leggy blond had done, she had ruined a lot of relationships and friendships because of her actions, and now actually unknowingly stopped Dolph from getting to know his daughter, something she didn't actually seemed to phased about.
"I don't have to listen to this, I'm leaving come on Dolph" said Summer in reply she was about to walk out from the kitchen when she noticed that Dolph hadn't even attempted to move, he had asked for Dean for some reason and stood next to Paige and AJ. When she turned to face him he only shook his head in reply like he was saying he wasn't going with her, she looked at him and the others with a bit more of a dirtier look, determined he was going to follow her out of the apartment of her former friend, she wasn't to found of children so Celeste wasn't someone she was going to go near.
"I'm not going with you Summer. You convinced me all this time that Kaitlyn was faking her pregnancy and because of that I have missed out on two years of my daughter's life. I want to get to know her, and I know I can't do that with you whispering down my ear. I can tell just by looking at her that she is mine. I'm not going to let you convince me otherwise, it's time that I grow up and start acting my age, starting with taking responsibility and be a father to my daughter" said Dolph watching as Summer just looked at him, before storming out of the place slamming the door rather hard behind her, if she didn't get it her way then no one would get their happy ending. "Dean I'm sorry that I was the one she cheated on you with, she told me you two had broke up, by the time I realised it was too late, I didn't want to hurt you, which I ended up doing any way. I hope you can forgive me and we can move on. Together all of us as the Misfits we are, and always will be" spoke Dolph when he turned to Dean who only nodded in reply.
The following day the Misfits with Dolph were back at WWE High, they were helping out with the wrestling class which Booker T had arranged. He was wondering what it would be like for them to be back in the ring of their former school so set about making mini matches for the day. When the wrestling class got their that day they were both amused and surprised to see the misfits except for Summer stood before them in their ring gear each with a smile firmly placed on their lips. Bayley the happiest one in the class that they were they and smiling at Sami the most, she had yet to tell anyone in her class she was dating a WWE professional wrestler and one of the famed Misfits.
"Okay class today we are going to have a few matches, where you could be teaming with or going against these guys right here. As you can see for today only they have their titles with them. So take advantage of it, ask them question while their not in matches. Sting here is going to read out the teams, or matches" said Booker telling everyone what was going to happen and seeing how Bayley kept looking over to Sami, he knew there was something going on between them as he had seen AJ and Punk give each other that look, as well as Layla and Justin and at one point Paige and Seth too, he smiled to himself, wondering how long it would take others to figure it out, if they hadn't already.
"Right then, Curtis Cash you are teaming with Seth Rollins to take on the duo of Finn Balor and Randy Orton. Bayley is teaming with Sami Zayn to take on the team of Justin Gabriel and Layla. Charlotte you get your one on one dream against Paige as does Sasha against AJ. Pretty Boy you will be going against none other than the Lunatic Fringe Dean Ambrose. Where as Mia will be taking on Emma. Dolph you will be teaming with Roman and Enzo to take on Alex Riley, CM Punk and Sheamus. Where Adam Rose will be going one on one with Zack Ryder as Adrian Neville will be going one one with our very own Colin Cassidy. The rest of you have get to ask these guys any questions abut their wrestling careers and where they started out. Good luck to all of you" said Sting smiling when he seen the surprised looks on their faces, some of the matches were only dream ones.
Bo sat next to Bayley, Finn and Becky wondering how they were taking the news of be able to fight against. Bo had always felt left behind by his older brother, he like the misfits had formed a friendship bound that was like family with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, all three of them were now causing havoc in WWE, but in all the success of his brother Bo did feel a little forgotten, Bray had made the promise of sticking by him when he needed it, yet when he needed his brother more than ever he wasn't there. He didn't know where he belonged, he thanked Bayley, Finn and Becky for being there to try and help him and welcoming to be around them with open arms but it wasn't the same as being with his brother.
The matches that afternoon were fairly interesting, each wrestling both the school ones and the professional ones doing there entrances, the ones with championships bringing them out with them and acting as if they were in front of a live audience and they were doing their job. Dolph, Roman and Enzo Amore were the first ones to compete, Sheamus, Punk and Alex Riley were fairly confident, well that was until Alex come across a determined Dolph and Enzo had targeted Punk with Roman going along with the plan and taking Sheamus out of the equation, they had promised to play nice so it was only pulling him off the ring apron and taking a leaf out of Paige's book and randomly hugging him.
Bayley's match was up next, deciding to come out with Sami to his bouncy music where as Layla and Justin come out together. Since each group decided on who was going to win the match, it was going to be a tough call for this match, or so everyone thought. It wasn't until Sami tagged in Bayley who hugged Justin and pushed him back did they surprise everyone, especially when pinned Layla after the Bayley-to-Belly Suplex. Since Bayley was the only one not to know about the result she was surprised when the other students began to clap, even more so when Sami came into the ring to celebrate with her. Hugging her, she would have asked what was happening if she wasn't to shock to speak.
As to be expected both Paige and AJ put one hell of fight against there respected opponents, Charlotte and Sasha. For this one time only Ric Flair, Charlotte's father had come to the school to watch her wrestle, he was expecting it to be an ordinary wrestling class, but was meant with some of the professionals from the companies taking on the students. He didn't know what to think and was even more surprised to see Vince in the audience area watching it, he was out the way in the shadows so no one knew he was there. That was until Ric joined him, to which Vince smiled up at him before focusing back on his students and employees working together.
"Why is my daughter fighting against a professional?" asked Ric watching as Paige hit some wicked clothes-lines doing her primal scream as she went. She was a force to be reckoned with and anyone who stepped in the ring with her knew they had been in a fight. Vince didn't reply straight away, instead choosing to continue watching the match hoping Ric would do that also. It hurt Ric a little bit to see his daughter tap out to whatever submission move it was that Paige had used, showing why she was the queen of the Diva's division and why she was the companies current Diva's Champion, she was no push over when it come to in ring action or with a microphone for that matter.
"You signed the consent form to allow this to happen Ric, plus Charlotte wanted to try her hand against Paige, now she knows just hard it can be to take on the current Diva's Champion and I can promise you no harm was brought to any of my students, those guys are professionals they know how to keep their opponents safe, I wouldn't have them in my business if they didn't" said Vince explaining that Ric had given his permission for his daughter to take part in the day's activities, even if he didn't agree with them. Vince watched as Curtis Cash came to the ring smiling brightly, he had talked for months about wanting to team with his idol, never believing he would get the chance to actually do it, Finn and Randy were already in the ring waiting, when Seth joined him at ring side, fist bumping him before getting into the ring.
Like with Bayley's match and most of the others no one knew who was going to win, they had their predictions but that was about it. It surprised everyone when Curtis hit his finisher of Cash Back on Randy for the pin, since it was the last match of the afternoon all those who had taken part congratulated him for his amazing win, especially as it was over The Viper who everyone knew could be a challenge at the best of times, even Finn congratulated Curtis for his win shaking his hand and holding up while Seth and Randy left the ring returning to the back to get changed and cleaned up. Seth hadn't been able to stop smiling all day, like Dean couldn't which was making the others wonder what was going on.
"Well now they day is over, I'm going to get to know my baby girl, what are you guys doing?" asked Dolph, if you had told him a couple of days ago he was going to recoiled with his school friends, find out he was a the father of a beautiful two and half year old girl and break up with Summer, he would have asked you what you had been smoking, because it wasn't going to happen. Yet here he was looking forward to see his daughter and enjoying being around his friends, wondering what they had planned for the rest of the afternoon.
"Going on a date" Dean, Seth and Sami said at the same time, it was almost comical to those around them especially how they all looked at each other and smiled after. And the way everyone else was looking at them like they had grown an extra head or body part. The three boys looked at each other and laughter after a while, finding rather amusing how they would say the same thing at the same time and none of the others having a clue who they were going on a date with, although Sami guested they already knew his as he hadn't really shut up about it since Bayley had said yes to being his girlfriend. Dolph looked more confused than anything as he had missed a lot since being away from them.
"Right you missed a bit since you know" said Roman, finding this as a good time to fill him in. "AJ and Punk are now married hence why they keep giving each other the googly eyed love look, Sami is now dating Bayley, Seth and Emma broke up at AJ and Punk's wedding, Dean and Paige went their separate ways after feeling like they were more brother and sister, Adam is now dating Mitchie, oh and Adrian has a secret girlfriend that he wont tell anyone about" added Roman seeing Dolph give him that look, it was funny to the others, well apart from Adrian who was still adamant he wasn't dating anyone when he had all of them too occupy his time with when he wasn't travelling the world doing what he loved most.
"So who are you to going on a date with?" asked Dolph turning to the other two members of The Shield, seeing how Seth smiled and looked away, it was someone he liked, they hadn't seem him go like this since they were students at the school and he wouldn't admit he liked Paige in a way that was more than a friend. That's when it hit Punk, he knew who the date was with and was wondering if any of the others had picked up on it too. "Like seriously, Seth I haven't seen you like this since high school, and we had to do the talk thing with you just so you would ask Paige out and Dean it's almost like you have taken a leaf out of School Boy Crush Seth's book, especially since we have never seen you act like this, not even with Summer" added Dolph finding it funny how they were acting the same when it come to their secret dates.
"Dolph you haven't seen Seth act likes since Paige because his secret date is Paige" said Punk revealing he had figured it out. Seth looked at him surprised but none the less smiled at him, he was happy to have been given the chance to recoiled with Paige, like his friends had said they hadn't seen him like this with anyone but her. "It's nice to see you going back to normal, you seemed so lost without her, it's actually funny" added Punk, he had always found it funny how the Seth they knew in high school disappeared the moment he let Paige go out of love and respect for her. Now she had given him another chance he was going back to the man he was in school.
"And I'm guessing Dean's date is the blond he met in the bar about two weeks ago, you know he hasn't stopped smiling since he met her and he got the message agreeing to the date" said Seth turning the spotlight from himself to Dean who didn't seem to care all that much he just looked between Roman and Seth with that all famed cheeky smile, they knew at that point that it was the mystery blond. It was nice to see him smile how he was now, and they had Paige to thank for it, she defintley acted like a sister to him considering she told him she would send the message to the mystery woman herself if he didn't.
"Renee, her name is Renee. She's works with WWE as well as a backstage interview, and she meets all my points. Must be hot, her own woman, and like you to guys main Seth and Roman and get along with Paige. She talks to Paige most of the time and if she meets you guys and gets along with you then its a match" said Dean explaining who she was or at least her name and that she worked in the same company as them. The rest of them smiled at that, finally after Summer breaking his heart Paige mending it and being a sibling he needed, he had finally found someone he was serious about being with. Roman wondered if her driving skills were like Paige's, he still hadn't healed from the last time Dean, Seth and himself were sharing a car with her like they always did, and he let her drive, he promised then never to do that again unless in extreme cases i.e. hospital run then she would get them there in record time.
Later on that night seen them all in different places, Adrian was with his secret date, Adam had decided to take Mitchie up on her offer and meet her parents, Randy was staying at Jo-Jo's for the night, Sheamus had plans with Noyra that involved a movie night, Emma was going to the cinema's with her cousin and then clubbing after, who knows what Justin and Layla had planned or were doing, Roman had dropped by Galina's and took her out for a picnic type date similar to Paige and Seth's first one together. Punk and AJ decided to stay in for the night and catch up with what their friends got up to for the night, the following day when they were saw each other again, Dolph was going to Kaitlyn's to get to know his baby girl or his little princess Celeste as he had been calling her. Sami was taking Bayley out where as Dean was taking Renee to a restaurant and would talk about her meeting Seth and Roman as well as the rest of the misfits later on and Seth and Paige's date was walking through the park remembering times from high school where responsibility and where everything was perfect or at least there thoughts on perfect.
