"You have to work?" She asked.
He shook his head.
"Not until tonight." He replied.
"Your dad gave me the rest of the week off." She said.
"What do you boys want to do today?" he asked.
"Let's go to the zoo!" they said.
"Okay, the zoo it is." He said laughing.
She grabbed her purse and we left. We walked through the zoo, the boys taking turns sitting on our
shoulders. Shane bought them everything they wanted, and while the boys ran ahead he linked our
fingers together. She smiled up at him and he squeezed her fingers reassuringly.
"Come on guys, time to go!" He said.
They groaned but followed us to the exit. On the car ride back, they both feel asleep. Shane linked
their hands together as he drove.
"So what's going on with us?" she asked indicating our hands.
"Well, it is called holding hands." Shane said with a smirk.
"Funny, smart ass, I mean what's going on with us?" she said.
"Whatever you want." He said.
She smiled up at him and he smiled back.
"I love you." She said.
"I love you too, Kayla." He said.
They carried the boys into the venue and laid them down on the sofa in Shane's office. She leaned
over and kissed him, and he smiled at her.
"I better go find my dad before he sends out a search party." she said.
"Take your time I got them under control." He said nodding towards the sleeping boys. She quietly
slipped out of the room and searched for her dad. She knocked on his locker room door, and he
yelled for her to come in.
"Hey." She said.
"Hey, where were you last night and all day?" He asked.
"With Shane." she replied.
He raised a golden brow at her.
"The boys fell asleep and he helped me get them out to the car, then I fell asleep on the ride to the
hotel. We just crashed in his room and then took the boys to the zoo today." She explained.
He nodded,
"He's a good guy." He said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" She asked.
"It means he's a good guy." He said.
She sat down next to him.
"I love him, Daddy." She whispered.
He pulled her close,
"I know." He replied.
She rested her head on his shoulder.
"He'll be good for you and the boys, he'll be there." He said.
"I know." She said.
"It took you awhile to figure it out." He said.
"What?" she asked.
"He's been interested for awhile, he just held back because of your age and then until you were
ready." He said.
"You're not mad?" She asked.
"No, I want you to be happy, why would I be mad?" He asked.
"He's a lot older than me." She said.
He shrugged,
"If he's makes you happy and he treats you right, I'm okay with it." He said.
"I love you dad." She said.
"I love you too." He said.
"Are the boys with him?" he asked.
"Yeah, they're asleep in his office." She replied.
"He's good for you, and you're good for him." He said.
"I hope so; the boys asked if he was their new daddy." She said.
Shawn sighed,
"When was the last time they seen Josh?" He asked.
"Their birthday, he hasn't even called, why does he do that to them?" She asked.
"You were both very young when you got pregnant, I'm not taking his side but you grew up after
you had to, he thought he was going to but he didn't not because he didn't want to but because he
couldn't." He said.
"I didn't want to, I thought I couldn't but I did." She said.
"You're a stronger person, a mother; those boys are your life." He said.
"I want Shane to be a part of it too." She whispered.
"He will be as long as you let him, those boys will start seeing him as their dad and you have to
explain that he's not." He said.
"He already did, he said he's not their dad but he still loves them very much and will always be there
for them." She said.
"I'm happy for you." He said.
"Thank you, I better get back so he can get some work done." She said as she got up and left.
She quietly knocked on Shane's door.
"Hey, you didn't have to knock." He said.
"Are they still asleep?" She asked.
"Yeah they haven't moved or made a sound since you left." He said and chuckled.
She turned and to look at the sleeping toddlers and smiled. Shane wrapped his hands around her
waist and pulled her close, resting his chin on her shoulder.
"Was your dad worried?" he asked.
"A little, I um told him about us." She whispered.
"Am I going to get my ass kicked?" He asked.
"No he's fine with it." She said.
They stood like that for a long time just watching the boys, content with each other. "Need any
help?" she asked as he moved behind his desk.
"You're off all week." He reminded her.
"Shane…" she whined.
"Let me see your hand." He said.
She walked over and sat on the desk and held out her hand for him. He unwrapped the bandage
and looked at the cut. It was a little puffy still but otherwise it was fine.
"So have I passed the test?" She asked sarcastically.
"It's not over yet." He said and pulled her into his lap.
"Really?" She asked.
"Yeah, have to test the reflexes." He said and kissed her.
When he pulled back he smiled at her as she looked at him expectantly.
"I guess you can help me write this stupid quarterly report." He said.
"Okay." She said and got up to grab the chair from the other side of the desk.
He pulled her back down and held her firmly to him. She rolled her eyes but started typing for him.
"Shane, I'm trying to work here." She said as he began to nuzzle her neck.
"I like this better though." He said as he began to gently suck her pulse point. "Shane…the boys."
She said breathlessly.
"They're passed out, and anyways were not going to do that…yet." He said.
She continued to type slower than usual because her attention was else where. "Mommy?" She
heard and Shane quickly pulled his head away.
She got up and walked over to the couch.
"What's the matter, sweetie?" she asked.
"Bad dream." Brandon whimpered.
She pulled the small boy into her arms and rocked him gently.
"It's okay I'm here now." She said and he buried his face in her neck.
Luc sat up, rubbing his eyes. He crawled over to her and tried to sit on her lap.
"Sweetie, you guys are too big to both be sitting on my lap." She said.
He frowned and then scrambled off the couch and crawled up into Shane's lap. Shane wrapped his
arms around him and Luc rested his head on his shoulder. I smiled at Shane and he grinned back.
Soon both boys were asleep again and we gently laid them back on the couch.
"You are the sweetest man alive." She said and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Why do you
say that?" He asked as he pulled her closer.
"You're so loving with the boys and I." she said.
"That's how you are supposed to act when you love someone Kayla." He said.
"I should finish that report up." She said.
"No, go catch up with the girls or something, I got and I can handle the boys." He said. "Are you
sure?" She asked.
"Believe me if you stay not a lot of work will get done." He said smirking.
"Shane!" she scolded.
"Go!" he said pushing her toward the door.
"Fine I know when I'm not wanted." She said pretending to be hurt.
"There's no doubt that you're wanted sweets now shoo." He said slapping her ass.
She laughed and walked away to find someone to talk to. She found Paul in catering and snuck up
behind him.
"Guess who?" She whispered.
"Hmm…" Paul said.
"Nope." She said laughing.
"What's up?" he asked turning around.
"Nothing, just wandering and I saw you sitting in here all lonely and I decided to get something to
drink because I was thirsty." She said laughing.
"You couldn't resist me so you made up a lame excuse to sit here with me." He said smiling.
"Let me tell you, Paul, you're just sooo hot." She said giggling.
"Is that a hickey?" he demanded.
"What?" she asked.
"You have a hickey." He said pointing at her neck.
"I'm going to kick you're ass, McMahon." She thought to herself.
"No, I don't!" she protested.
Paul narrowed his eyes at her and yelled to someone in the hallway. Shawn came walking over and
sat next to his daughter.
"Hey." He said. "Did you know that you're daughter has a hickey?" Paul demanded. "What!" He yelled and looked at his daughter.
"It is not a hickey." She protested.
"Yeah, whatever you say." Paul said.
"I thought people only did that in high school." Shawn said.
"Aren't you going to ask where she got it?" Paul demanded.
"Well you get one when…" Shawn began but Paul cut him off.
"I know how you get one, dumbass, I want to know who she got it from." He said.
"Oh, Shane." Shawn said.
"Shane…" Paul said.
"McMahon." Shawn supplied.
"Why would Shane give her a hickey?" Paul asked confused.
"He's a little slow, sometimes, isn't he?" her dad asked her smiling.
"Yeah, just a little." She said.
"You and Shane?" Paul asked.
I nodded and smiled at him.
"But he's way older than you!" he said.
"Yes I know that, do you have a problem with it?" She asked sweetly.
Paul shrugged,
"Would it matter if I did?" He asked.
"Nope." She said.
"Well it's a good thing I don't, then, isn't it?" He said.
"Boys still sleeping?" her dad asked.
"They woke up for a little it because Brandon had a bad dream but they fell back to sleep." she
said.
"Then Shane kicked me out so he could work." she added.
They got up and went back to her dad's locker room.
"You have a match tonight?" she asked.
"Yeah against this idiot." He said nodding towards Paul.
"Don't worry I'll take it easy on him." Paul said.
"Yeah keep telling yourself that." He said sarcastically.
"Okay old man." Paul said laughing.
Her dad sat next to her and she leaned against him.
"Tired?" he asked instantly concerned.
"Kind of." She replied covering her mouth while she yawned.
"How's the hand?" Paul asked.
"Fine, but Vince and Shane insist that I take this week off or until the stitches come out." She said.
"Let me see it." Shawn asked.
She lifted her hand and he gently unwrapped it.
"Looks better." He said.
She shrugged and closed her eyes.
"So, it doesn't bother you?" Paul asked.
"He's a good man, he loves her, he makes her happy, and he treats her good." Shawn said. "But a
lot of guys do." Paul said.
"Why does it bug you?" he asked.
"It just does, but it's not my place to say anything." He said.
