Chapter Three

I turn to Chris who is grinning sheepishly and I say, "Explain, now!"

"Well…y'see…a little after you quit…well…Tyson and David got thrown into this tag match together and they figured out that they have the same style almost, well, Tyson is a brawler and David is a bit of a submissionist, but that doesn't matter and…" Chris is rambling, obviously uncomfortable with having to answer the question.

"Chris, just answer me," I say, my tone a bit stern but at the same time very exhasperated.

"Tyson asked David to be his tag team partner," Chris says as if he's trying not to reveal it.

"Will you hold Louis," I sweetly smile, not looking at him.

"Don't do anything rash. Maybe this is a good time for you to become friends with David. After all, you four are the last graduates of the Hart Family Dungeon." Chris says taking Louis from me. I walk over to where they are talking and smile, "Guys."

Natalya squeals, jumps up, and hugs me, "Meghan we missed you so much!"

I hug her back, "I know I missed all of you too! So…um…is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Tyson and I are engaged!" Natalya says, showing me the ring.

"Not what I was talking about but alright," I say, surprised at this news almost as much as I was to see David talking to Tyson and Natalya civilly.

"I think I know what she was talking about," David smiles at me.

"You should know what I'm talking about out of the three of them," I try to say civilly.

"Look, I know that in the past me and you haven't been friends. But…well…I had a nice long talk with Uncle Brett. It made me see how rude I've been to everyone in my life. I decided to apologize to Tyson and Natalya. They accepted it. I…I wanna apologize for everything I've done, okay?" David extends his hand to me and I hesitantly shake it, waiting for a hit to the face or to be spit on. Instead the handshake becomes a hug. Maybe the guy isn't as bad as he had been in the past.

I smile and signal for Chris, who is talking to a bell boy about taking our bags up to a room he must have just checked out, to walk over. He carries Louis over, who is tugging at his blonde hair and smiles, "Hey Natty, Ty, Dave."

"Natty? Ty? Dave? You guys get close while I was gone?" I smile.

"Hey, us Canadians gotta stick together." Chris laughs.

"So this is little Louis," Natalya smiles and walks over to Chris, holding out her hands as he hands her Louis. "Hey little guy, I'm your Auntie Natalya, when you're old enough I'll be the one to give you tons of sugary sweets and then send you home to momma."

I laugh as she holds the baby and Tyson walks over, "We'll baby sit whenever you need it of course. I mean, you'll need it now that you're back in the WWE."

"I'm not back in the WWE," I sigh.

"You're not?" Tyson asks, sounding like this is the first he's heard of it. He looks at Chris, "That's not what you said."

I look at Chris, "Chris, what did you do?"

"Well…um…look at the time, we should probably go on up to our room and order room service!"

"Chris, you're not getting out of it." I firmly say, "What did you do?"

"Well…Vince was looking for a new member of the broadcast team to spice it up a bit and…well I…"

"You volunteered me, didn't you?" the sheepish look he's giving me gives me my answer. "Chris! How could you! I have to look after Louis! I told you as long as he was this young, I couldn't!"

"But Vince said he thought it would be cute! A mother on the announcer team who brings her child to work! It would get more female viewers because she would be the epitome of a strong woman, even more so than the diva's." Chris whines.

"What about the matches where things get violent? And I can't take Louis out there! You know how he feels about loud noises!" I say.

"I can look after him until I have a match babe! I'm not a wanderer like I use to be. I've been in almost every arena, there's no where I need to see or visit. And during my matches, Natty and Ty can look after him."

I pause, he's right. I never thought of it that way. But I guess at the same time, I'm still a bit pissed that he waited until now to tell me. "What if I hadn't agreed to come with you? What would have happened then?"
"Vince was set to come to the house," Chris sighs, "are you going to do it or do I need to tell Vince that he should find someone else?"

I sigh, "I'll do it, I'll do it."

Tyson smiles, "You know, you totally had the right to yell at him." He slips a twenty dollar bill out of his pocket and hands it to Natalya, "You were right."

"Right about what? Why are two of my best friends betting on me?" I ask.

"Well, Natty said that when you found out you were agree to it and not get all that mad at Chris. I said that when you found out you would punch Chris in the arm and deny him sex for a while." Tyson casually says.

I blush, "Chris and I…we haven't had sex in a while…"

Natalya giggles, "Do Tyson and I need to babysit tonight?"

Almost as if on cue Tyson and I respond with a very loud, "No!"

Chris laughs and takes Louis from Natalya, "Well, we need to get this little guy up to the room. We'll see you guys later at the show?"

"Yeah," Natalya smiles. I give her a goodbye hug and she whispers, "Thanks for letting me win $20."

I laugh and break the hug before going in and hugging Tyson and my new friend David. "See you guys at the show."

I take Chris' hand and head with him to the elevator. He pushes the button but a voice saying, "Chris!" makes him turn around. I turn my head to see a man I've never seen before heading toward us. He's tall, at least 6'7" because he towers over Chris, and has to weigh at least 220. I can't give an appropriate estimate of his weight because he's toned, which I can see because his blue button up shirt clings to his muscles. His hair is black and combed so that it spikes up. His eyes are a cold blue, so devoid of any emotion that they make Randy Orton's eyes look like they are full of warmth and kindness. There's something about him that I can't place but…but I don't like the aura around him and neither does Louis. Louis starts crying and I take him from Chris, bouncing him on my shoulder to try and get him to stop crying.

"Wade, good to see you! Meghan, this is my rookie, Wade Barett." Chris smiles.

I nod, "Nice to meet you Wade."

"So you're the woman who tamed Chris' Jericho's heart. He had told me you were beautiful, I wasn't expecting this." Wade smiles, almost as if he's trying to seduce me.

"Wade, what do you need?" Chris asks, smiling at him. Maybe he doesn't see the way Wade's looking at me. He seems to be quite pleased with his rookie.

"I was wondering what time we'll be working out at today before the show," Wade smiles.

"About 7ish. I want to spend some time with my wife before the show," Chris smiles, wrapping an arm around my waist.

"Okay. Well, it was nice meeting you Meghan," Wade smiles.

"Nice to meet you to," I lie. Something about that man gives me a bad feeling. It's said that babies and animals can sense evil and will let you know it. By Louis' reaction…I'd say I have a reason not to trust Wade. I just don't know what it is yet.
