Title: Daddy Dearest 21/?

"I ever tell you how much this is not my idea of fun?" Catelyn asked with a scowl as she waited for Edge's music to play.

Edge looked over at her, giving her a small grin. "You'll be awesome. Remember you can't wrestle Randy, only Ashley and we all know you can take her."

"So? I shouldn't even be doing this. Vince is an idiot."

His music started and he pulled her towards the curtain, releasing her hand as they entered onto the ramp. Catelyn followed after, forcing herself to keep breathing and not run away screaming. Really she wouldn't do that. She could do this. Mind you, running through the crowd was beginning to look pretty good right about now.

"Are you going to pass out on me?" Edge asked, throwing a friendly arm around her shoulders.

"Tempting." She muttered as they walked down to the ring. "Have you realized you're getting cheered."

He paused and looked around. "Wow, it's been awhile."

She poked him to start moving again and the two entered the ring as Randy and Ashley stood on the outside, yelling at them.

The ref pushed them back and ordered the two on the outside to get in. Randy stood on the apron as Ashley entered the ring, a big smirk on her face.

"Looks like you're up first." Edge said, exiting the ring,

"Bloody hell." She murmured, rubbing her forehead as she frowned at Ashley.

"You're mine." The shorter blonde hissed.

Catelyn couldn't help but roll her eyes at the tired lines, this was getting a little too ridiculous.

The two women circled each other before locking up in the middle. Ashley began to step forward, driving Catelyn back into the ropes, when she hit them the ref counted to 3 before Ashley finally let up, delivering a slap to her face. Catelyn's eyes widened in shock and anger as she glared at the smirking girl who started to step back, Catelyn jumped at her, taking them both down and Catelyn began delivering blows to the Barbie dolls head.

"Hey hey, watch the closed fist" the ref yelled at her.

She looked up at him and scowled giving Ashley the time she needed to roll them over so she was on top and she began doing the same thing to her. Catelyn struggled to free one arm but instead of covering her head, struggled to free her other arm and grabbed Ashley by the hair, yanking the blonde to one side and causing her to lose her balance. Catelyn bucked her off and rolled to the opposite side, both girls getting to their feet to square off once more.

Ashley glared at her as the fans began to cheer and Catelyn turned, tagging Edge in.

"Not bad." He said as he entered and Randy did the same.

Catelyn made a face.

She watched as Edge and Randy went back and forth for the most part and when Ashley untied the top turnbuckle and Randy went to push Edge into it, he countered it, sending the legend killer into it first, when he turned around, Edge speared him to the ground and pulled him into the middle, tagging Catelyn in and motioning for her to pin Randy. She thought that wasn't allowed, being a mixed tag but shrugged as she scrambled to the middle and lifted one of Randy's legs as Edge held Ashley back. Randy kicked out at the last second and Catelyn froze in shock, what now? She tried pinning him again but he kicked out. Ashley started screeching something, distracting the ref who stood up and moved over to Ashley and Edge. Randy reached up and grabbed a handful of her hair, causing her to shriek in pain as he slowly got to his feet ignoring her trying to punch and kick him.

"I'm so going to enjoy this." He said while chuckling.

Edge speared him to the ground, causing Catelyn to smile. "not as much as I just enjoyed that."

She turned , clotheslining Ashley over the top rope as Edge got the 3 count on Randy. She turned back, jumping at Edge who had just stood and throwing her arms around him, he lifted her up, holding her with one arm, her legs wrapping around his waist as the referee held up his other arm.

"We did it."

"You're undefeated." He said with a grin. The two stared at each other and Edge moved his head as if to kiss her but she moved away, untangling herself from him and moving to the other side of the ref so he could raise her arm as well.

Their celebration was short lived as someone tackled Edge to the ground and started beating on him. The ref yelled for them to stop and Catelyn froze in shock at seeing it was Matt who had attacked Edge.

Her immobility was short lived though as she began to yell at Matt to stop it, she moved forward and grabbed his arm to stop him but he wrenched his hand away throwing it out and catching Catelyn in the eye. Hard. She stumbled back, falling down as she clutched at her eye, trying to ignore the spots that had entered her vision.

"Catelyn!" he cried, getting off Edge and rushing over to her.

"Don't touch me." She snapped.

"I didn't know it was you, sweetheart, you have to believe me."

"You punched me in the eye." She cried. Behind him she could see her father and Hunter running down the ramp.

"I didn't mean to. I thought it was the ref."

"What were you doing anyways? He helped me and you attack him."

"Catelyn, please, you don't understand."

"Stay away from me." She scooted back as he attempted to move closer yet again.

"Back off Hardy." Hunter called as they entered the ring and Shawn went to check on his daughter.

"Shawn it was an accident."

Shawn glared at the elder Hardy. "You shouldn't have been out here in the first place."

"I should've been out here, not Edge."

"So you take it upon yourself to attack him with my daughter nearby, putting her at risk?"

"It's not like that." Matt protested. "Catelyn should have chosen me in the first place, if she did, this wouldn't have happened."

Catelyn pushed her dad's hand away from her as she glared at matt. "I didn't pick you, so you take it upon yourself to what? Get revenge? God Matthew. I picked Edge because he's been there for me, I trusted him to have my back like he did when I found out I was pregnant, not like you, accusing me of sleeping with him before finding out the truth. What did you expect? For me to come back and continue on like none of this had happened? That we could go on being how we were before you accused me of being a cheater and a liar?"

"You did lie." Matt quietly reminded her. "You told me I was your first."

Catelyn's face went red with anger, as she stood up, ignoring Shawn's attempts to tell her that now was not the time.

"Well gee Matt, I'm so sorry I didn't count being raped as my first time, you insensitive asshole. We're done. For good. So leave me alone."

She pulled away from her dad and exited the ring, moving towards Edge and Hunter at the base of the ramp, her father right behind her.

"are you okay?" Edge asked, turning her face to look at her eye.

"Just peachy." She ground out through clenched teeth.

"We should get some ice for your eye."

"I don't want ice." She snapped, pulling away from him.

He lifted an eyebrow and silently followed after her as she stomped up the ramp and to the back. Telling her dad she would talk to him later, she continued on to Edge's room, slamming the door open in her anger. He followed silently behind her turning to close the door. When he turned back, Catelyn was in front of him, her face still set in a scowl even as her eye rapidly swelled shut. He lifted an eyebrow at her again and she responded by pushing him up against the door, leaning up to kiss him full on the lips. He wrapped his arms around her sliding them down to lift her up so she wrapped her legs around him. He turned them around so she was up against the door. His mouth left hers to travel down her neck, his hands moved to her shirt, lifting it and discarding it on the floor. He kissed down her collarbone as she threw her head back and gasped. Then Edge did something he thought he would never do.

He stopped.

Catelyn looked at him, frowning. "Is there a reason you stopped?"

"Yes." He said but didn't elaborate more.

Her frown deepened. "you don't want me anymore?"

He grounded his hips against her. "Does that feel like I don't want you?"

She moaned, trying to bring herself back to focus again. "So why did you stop again?"

"Why are you doing this?" he asked.

"For God sakes Edge, hot chick about to go at it with you and you're questioning it."

"Is this to get back at Hardy?"

She gave a disgusted sigh as she disentangled herself from him, standing on the ground, his arms were still around her waist as he stared down at her.

"I didn't kiss you to get back at him but I guess you could say it did have to do with him."

His face remained impassive as he stared down at her.

"Do I get my t shirt back at least?"

He shook his head.

"Why?"

"Because if I like your answer, less work for me after."

She rolled her eyes. "I didn't talk to you today because I was unsure of where Matt and I stood. I was mad at him, yeah, but he was right, I wasn't completely honest with him either, so I was kind of hoping him and I could work it out. But after what just happened?" He eyes blazed with fury as she remembered what happened in the ring. "He punched me and then threw me lying to him in my face. I didn't even remember what happened. How could I count that as my first time?"

He brushed some hair back, placing a small kiss by her bruised eye.

"So I said, fuck it. I mean I thought about what I said and what you said and after I told Matt it's over, I said to hell with it, go for it. Honestly I thought I'd be keeping my clothes on though."

He chuckled, leaning down to place a soft, passionate kiss on her lips before breaking away and picking up her t shirt.

"you really are something else, you know that Catelyn?"

"So I've been told. Look I should, I dunno, go find my dad, I'm sure he wants to make sure I'm okay. Um, call me or come find me later or something okay?"

He chuckled at her sudden bout of shyness as she put her t shirt back on and leaned up to kiss him on the cheek before leaving his room.

She really was something else.

… … …

"Where did you go?" Her father asked her as soon as she entered.

"To check on Edge, make sure he was okay." She replied as she grabbed some fresh clothes to change into.

It looked like Shawn was about to ask more but she quickly ducked into the bathroom, taking her time in the shower. When she came out, Shawn was gone but Hunter was now in the room.

"How's the eye?" He asked.

She shrugged. "It stings."

"So you and Edge, huh?"

She froze as she was putting her clothes into her bag. "What?"

"You and Edge huh?" he repeated, watching her closely.

"What are you talking about?"

"hmm, I saw him go into your room last night, I didn't say anything because I heard you threaten to scream for your dad. Then choosing him over Matt today, and when you guys won, he looked ready to kiss you."

She frowned at him. "Does Shawn- dad, know?"

"I don't think he noticed."

"Are you going to tell him?"

Hunter stared at her. "So it's true?"

"No. Yes, I don't know. We were friends, and then he was kissing me and… I don't know."

"Your dad won't approve."

She sighed. "I don't think anyone will to be honest. But he's really… he's different with me. He's not like he is with you guys."

Hunter sighed. "well when you tell your dad, I'll talk to him after. Calm him down and make sure he doesn't kill Edge. He's different since I've been back, yeah I see that but to the point where Shawn wants to see him with his daughter, probably not so much."

"Ha. Funny." She responded, sticking her tongue out at him. "can we leave now? Is the show over?"

He nodded, picking up his bag "your dad just went to go grab some water. We can meet him at the car."

She grabbed her bag and followed him out.

"Catelyn."

She told Hunter to go ahead and turned as Jeff ran to catch up with her.

"You're still here, good. Your eye looks like crap."

She scowled at him. "Blame your brother."

"actually that's why I'm here, he wanted me to talk to you about him." He said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Jeff, seriously, I've only been back for 2 days and the drama level I'm dealing with is so not good for me."

"he's just- he's confused. He still loves you."

"And I still love him." She quietly replied. "but Jeff, that doesn't change anything."

"Can't you at least talk to him?"

"I will. When I'm ready. Not when he keeps trying to force himself on me. Not when he throws hurtful things back in my face."

"What did he say to you?" Jeff asked.

She sighed. "I'm sure you already know most of it, but I told Matt that he was my first. When I found out I was pregnant … well I looked like a big liar. But you have to understand, up until then I didn't remember anything, I knew it happened because people told me it did but I didn't remember so why would I count that as my first time? Why would I consider being raped my first time?"

"I wouldn't." He said with a frown.

"Exactly but Matt has no problem reminding me that he wasn't my first."

"Wow, Catey, I'm sorry I didn't know my bro was being a jackass about that."

She fixed him with a small glare at the nickname. "He was hurt, he was angry, blah blah blah, I get it fine but where was he after when I was at my dad's recovering? Why didn't he try anything then?"

"You asked for time." Jeff reminded her.

"I did, didn't I?" She replied, tiredly rubbing her forehead. "He still shouldn't have waited 'til I returned. He hurt me. He shattered my trust in him as well, that's why I didn't ask him to be my partner."

"But Edge?" Jeff asked.

"Was there. He understood. He got it and didn't judge me. he helped me when I had no one else."

"Catey, if any of us knew-"

She cut him off. "but that's just it, if you knew what had happened you would've been there. Even without knowing, Adam was there, he at least took the time to find out. Matt didn't. You didn't, no one here did. You automatically believed the worst of me and sometimes-" She closed her eyes and took in a deep shuttering breath. "-sometimes I wonder, if you guys didn't, would things have turned out differently?"

She opened her eyes to see Jeff staring miserably at the floor.

"Jeff, I don't blame you guys, it was a choice I had to make and I'm going to be turning it over in my head for the rest of my life."

"I'm sorry. We're all are."

"Don't be. Sadly, who's to say I wouldn't have acted the same way. Look I have to go meet my dad, I'll talk to you later okay?"

He nodded and she stepped forward, giving him a quick hug and kiss on the cheek before continuing on down the hall.

She still had a lot to fix and a lot to deal with but she had a feeling that she was going to be okay.
