Chapter Two: Coming Back

2008 - Orlando, Florida

Months after the tragic event in Los Angeles, Adam and Amy went to court to try and see if Kayla Jade had any living family members. It took some time, so Kayla had to go into foster care for eight to ten months. Since Adam and Amy weren't the legal guardians of her, they couldn't exactly keep her at the moment. But after those months passed, the court took some more time to see if the two superstars were the best parents for Kayla. They were granted parentalship, only because Adam mentioned something to the judge. Since the two of them had a busy scheduele, they weren't always going to be able to take care of Kayla. So he said to the judge that even though they work basically every day, Kayla can stay at his mother's for half of the year, and the other half, they could take care of her.

Five years later, it was Wrestlemania 24 and the day Adam was getting to see his baby girl for the girst time in six months.

In front of the arena, Adam and his wife Amy stood waiting for Mrs. Copeland.

Soon enough, a black corvette pulled up in front of the building. Amy smiled widely, giving a tiny squeeze to Adam's hand. It parked in front of the curb and the back door opened up. A ten-year-old Kayla Jade Copeland came running out of the car as soon as she saw her father.

The young brunette became excited. "Daddy!"

She raced her way to him, giggling girlishly.

Adam squatted down to his knees, extending his arms. "Come here, pumpkin!"

She jumped into his arms and he hugged her tightly. "I missed you guys so much!"

"Aw, we missed you too, Kae." Adam said. He let her go and she jumped up to her step mom.

"How's my baby girl doing?" said Amy.

"Great!" Kayla Jade said, happily. "I'm so excited for Wrestlemania!"

"You should be, because you're going to have a blast!" Amy replied.

The driver's door opened and the slender and matured mother, Mrs. Copeland stepped out of the vehicle. Her faint blonde hair fell down, about to her shoulders. Her eyes were a kind, emerald tone and her skin was fair. She had a smirk that she had taught her son to wear and make famous.

"Hi mom." Adam greeted his mother.

"Hello Adam." she replied. Mrs. Copeland closed the door and walked over and up onto the sidewalk. "Can I ask you a question?"

"What's that?" he listened in.

"Would it've killed ya to call this old woman, once in a while?" Mrs. Copeland said, jokingly. "I mean, I only worry about ya all the time."

Adam chuckled. "Ah, I'm sorry mom."

"I know, I'm only joking. I know you and your wife are constantly busy." she smiled, lightly. "How've you been?"

"Pretty good. Amy and I are going alright. Good to have Kayla Jade for the time being." Adam said. "Speaking of her, how was she for you?"

"Not bad, not bad at all. She did get one 'F' last semester. But I got on her and she brought it up to a 'B'." Mrs. Copeland explained, positively.

Kayla Jade just acted it off, and tried to avoid any stare that she might get from her father. But it was too late.

Adam glanced down at her for a second, then looked back to his mother. "Really, now? Well, that's good. Are you staying for my match tonight?"

"Of course! Did you think that I would miss it? Not even close, boy." she said, smiling.
