Chapter Four

We make our way up to the hotel room and I finally manage to get Louis settle down. He lays on the floor on a blanket, playing with his teddy bear while I go into the bathroom and change into something reminiscent of what I use to wear in the ring: a black tank top with black fingerless gloves, a black and red plaid skirt, fishnet stockings, and black stiletto boots. "This looked much better on me when I wasn't trying to lose weight", I mumble as I exit the room.

Chris looks up from his spot on the floor where he's playing with Louis and smiles at me, "You look beautiful…"

"No I don't. I'm fat." I pout.

Chris stands up and walks over to me, placing his hands on my shoulders, "Listen to me, you aren't fat. Sure you've got a bit of added weight since Louis was born but your anything but fat. I mean, c'mon, you weigh as much as Natty does. Is Natty fat?"

"No," I mumble.

"Then you're not fat."

I nod and chew on my bottom lip thoughtfully for a moment, "Chris…that guy Wade…I don't like him."

Chris scoffs, "How can you say that? You barely know him."

"Babies and animals can sense evil. As soon as he came around, Louis started crying. If that isn't evil I dunno what is."

"That's an old wives tale, it's not true." Chris smiles, "I promise, Wade is a good guy."

I sigh, "If you say so…"

"And I do say so babe," Chris smiles, "now, why don't you keep Louis company while I change into my gear for the night."

"Um…wouldn't it be better for you to get into that tight pair of spandex pants at the arena." I say, kind of weary of what girls would do if they say Chris' ass. I mean, it's a nice ass.

"No I'm not fighting tonight. I'm actually hosting the Highlight Reel," he smiles.

"The highlight reel? I thought they dropped you doing that when you turned heel." I frown.

"So did I but they really wanted me to do it against Evan," Chris shrugs. "So I'm dressing up in a suit like a normal Jericho moment."

"You always look good in a suit," I smile, kneeling in the floor with Louis. I pick up his teddy bear and when he looks at me with those eyes, I know that he has to poop. I pick him up and carry him over to the bed, changing his diaper before Chris exits the bedroom looking dashing in his gray suit with a baby blue tie.

"Well, do I look good?"

Louis starts cooing and I giggle, "Seems to me that we both think you look fine."

"Good. Well, could you hand me a change of clothes from Louis' bag. Preferably the one that you got him for Christmas or the one my mom got him?"

"I'll get him the one that I got him for Christmas." Chris pulls the black baby one piece that say BA/BY in the style of the classic AC/DC logo. I change Louis clothes and Chris says, "It's a little cold, maybe we should give him some pants to?"

I nod, "That's a good idea. Give me those jeans mom got him and the denim jacket."

Chris nods and hands me those things so I change him. He looks like a little rockstar, just like his daddy. "He's definitely your son."

"Why do you say that?"

"He's definitely a rockstars son looking like that." I smile. "So, we're having Natalya and Tyson look after him during the Highlight Reel segment?"

"Yeah, unless you have a better idea." Chris nods.

"Nope," I nod.

"Then Natty's looking after him." Chris smiles, taking Louis from me. He ruffles his hair, "Whose gonna be a future rockstar? Who is?" Louis coos and Chris laughs, "See he knows what he's going to be when he grows up already."

"Hey, you're not going to dictate what he is when he grows up. Remember, the whole your dad tried to do that to you thing." I remind him.

"I was playing baby," Chris sighs.

"I know, I was teasing too," I smile, unpacking the clothes in Louis diaper bag and leaving the bottles, diapers, and toys so that we don't have to dig through at the arena. After deciding it would be nice to have some clothes in case he spills something on himself, I pack two extra outfits. "All right, well, I guess we have a little time before the show?"

"We should probably go talk to Vince about your new job and about having Louis backstage. I don't want anyone to be worried about having a baby backstage."

"He'll be fine, you're a bit worrysome." Chris teases.

"Chris, Louis is only a few months old. And I know that some weird shit happens backstage. Remember, I used to be a superstar."

"You were a diva, but, yeah same thing." Chris nods, "Baby, he'll be fine. Trust me. Since the whole Vince keeping things pg he doesn't let us get away with as much as we use to get away with. You'll be surprised with what we can't get away with anymore."

I sigh, "Sorry."

"Don't be sorry. I understand, trust me, I'm his father. Don't you think I want to keep him away from things. But we know that as superstars, we have our duty to our job as well."

"You have your duty to your job, I was fine being a stay at home mom until you told Vince that I should be the new member of the announcing team." I bitterly say.

Chris looks hurt, "You don't' have to do it if you don't want to do it."

I turn to him, "Baby, I want to be involved again. I told you that. I'm…I just don't want Louis to grow up in an unstable home."

"Unstable home? Baby, is that what you're worried about?" he charmingly says while wrapping an arm around my shoulders, "Trust me, we're not unstable. We're probably the most stable couple in the WWE, probably even more so than Hunter and Stephanie."

I smile and nod, "You always know what to say to me."

"Part of the being a stable couple thing," he smiles. We walk down to the car and I put Louis in his car seat. "Want me to drive?"

"Oh hell no," Chris smirks.

"Watch your mouth!" I reprimand.

"Sorry." Chris sighs, "But seriously, no you can't drive. This car is my baby." He gets in the drivers seat and I get in the passenger's seat. He drives all the way to the arena with Louis in the back crying and me turned around in the front seat, trying to console my baby boy.

When we get to the arena, Louis is finally calmed down. We get out of the car and I pick Louis up, "That's a good boy. Keep calm Louis."

Chris smiles as we walk to the door, "So are you wanting to go to Vince's office first or are you wanting to get settled in the locker room first because if you believe that thing about babies crying in the presence of evil, Vince will surely set the kid off."

I giggle and shake my head, "Vince isn't that bad. He's actually a very nice guy. But, if you want to take Louis with you then by all means go ahead." When he takes Louis from me I smile, "You really missed him while you were out didn't you?"

"Yeah, it's lonely on the road." Chris smiles, "and I haven't been there to help him grow really."

"Well, I'm going to Vince's office." I peck him on the cheek, "I'll text you when I'm done and you can tell me where your locker room is."

Chris nods and heads off one way while I head off towards the other. On my way there I see Evan who, when he catches sight of me, runs over and hugs me. "Meghan! It's great to see you again! I had heard rumor that you were back but I wasn't sure if it was real or not."

"Well, I'm going to be back as soon as I talk to Vince. I'm the new announcer." I smile.

"Announcer huh? It can't top being a superstar." Evan smiles, "I know how much you loved life in the ring."

"Yeah, well, a baby will make you want to change your mind. You'll see if you and Brie ever have a baby." I tease.

Evan laughs, "Yeah, I guess that's right. I love the pictures you have of Louis on the internet."

"Thanks. Most of them took forever to get him to sit still for, especially the one of Christmas." I say, remembering how long it took to get Louis to sit still on my father's lap who was dressed as Santa Clause.

"Well, it'll get easier as he grows up. Well, I don't want you to be late to this meeting with Vince so I'll let you go."

I hug him and say, "Good luck on the Highlight Reel." I head to Vince's office and knock before walking in. Vince is reading papers on his desk and he smiles at me. "Meghan, good to see you."

"Good to see you to Vinny Mac!" I smile, "I came to talk to you about that job offer Chris suggested me for."

"Ah, the announcing job. I was worried about it when Chris suggested you. As a man who was working when his own wife had both of his children I know that it's hard to work when you have a child. Are you sure that you're ready to join back up with the company?"

I nod, "I…I want to get to see Chris some more."

"Ah, the ever loving wife needing to be around to get to see her husband some more! I understand your plight, welcome to the announcing team Meghan. You'll start tonight." Vince smiles, "We play your old theme music when you go in?"

I shake my head, "Unless you can think of something better."

"Well, I was thinking about that Lady GaGa song-"

"Vince, if you make me use a Lady GaGa song as my enterance, I'll personally kill you." I smile at him.

"I was joking kiddo," Vince smirks.

"So was I," I giggle.

Vince laughs, "Well, you should probably go talk to Jerry and Micheal to make sure they know you're the new announcer."

"I'll talk to Jerry but do I really got to talk to Micheal Cole?" I ask, frowning at him.

"He's an announcer to," smiles Vince. "Now get outta here."

I nod, "Thanks Vinny." I leave, beaming. Meghan Stevenson, well, Meghan Irvine is back in the WWE.
