Sorry about the delay. The sie wouldn't let me post. But here is the new chapter.
Thanks to everyone who read and reviewed.
Adam and Payton headed back on the road the next day. Payton was trying to see what she could do next to get her dad and Briana together. She hoped that the guys or divas would have some ideas.
"Uncle John." Payton said running up to John Cena when he came in the locker room. Adam had gone to see Vince and left Payton with Randy.
"Miss Payton, what is going on?" He asked her.
"Briana came over to our house and ate dinner yesterday." Payton said to her.
"That is good. Maybe it will help her and your dad get together." John replied to her.
"I think they just want to be friends." She replied. "How can I get my daddy to see that Briana is perfect for him?"
"I don't know sunshine." He said to her. Most all of Adam's friends had special nicknames for her and his was sunshine. "How about you spend time with Briana and do some girl stuff? Then your dad will see how much you guys get along and how close you are getting."
"That is a great idea Uncle John." She said hugging him. "Do you think so too, Uncle Randy?"
"I do." Randy said agreeing. He, like everyone else, wanted Adam to be happy and move on.
"Okay, then I will ask Briana to take me shopping." Payton said. "Do you think Maryse and everyone will be hurt if I want Briana to take me instead of them?"
"No. They want your dad to be happy just like you." John replied to her.
"Okay." She said just as Adam walked in. "Daddy, can I go shopping with Briana when we get back?"
"I guess you can. Why are you asking me now?" He asked her.
"I just wanted to let you know that I wanted to go shopping with her." She said with a smile.
"Okay." Adam replied. He knew that his sneaky little daughter had something up her sleeve to get him and Briana together and he knew that John and Randy had to of helped her.
"I'm hungry, daddy." Payton said.
"Okay, do you guys want to go eat with us?" Adam asked John and Randy.
"No, we have something to take care of." Randy said to him. "We will catch up with you later." He said kissing Payton on the head and walking out.
"Later, sunshine." John said doing the same.
"Okay, ladybug, let's go." Adam said taking her hand.
They headed out of the arena and to the near by pizza place. They had lunch and talk about school. He knew he had to make a decision about her and school.
"Payton, I wanted to know if you wanted to spend time with Grandma and go to school in Tampa." Adam asked her. Krissy's parents lived in Tampa and agreed to watch her if he chose to put her in school in Tampa.
"I don't want to be away from you." She said to him as they ate pizza.
"Well, I guess we could try home schooling." He said. "That means when we are on the road, we will have to take time to do some school work."
"Okay. If I get a mommy, she can teach me." She said very slyly.
"Payton, you are not getting a mommy right now." He said to her.
"Okay." She said.
After lunch they headed to the hotel. He knew he had to find someone to watch her while he had his match tonight. As they were walking to their room, they came upon Matt Hardy.
"Adam." Matt said to him. "Payton, how are you?"
"I'm fine." She said quickly. She knew that Matt caused her mom's accident because everyone told her so.
"We have to go Matt. I don't want you near my daughter." Adam said walking on.
"Are you ever going to forgive me for what happen?" Matt asked him just as John walked up.
"John, can you take Payton with you?" Adam asked him.
"Yes." John said taking Payton's hand and walking her to his room. He knew that Adam was going to have some words for Matt and Payton didn't need to hear them.
"Matt, I will never forgive you for what happen." Adam said to him. "Because you were jealous and stupid, you left my daughter without her mother. You caused Krissy's accident which led to her death. Did you really think that I would forgive you?"
"I hoped you would. Adam, I didn't mean for that to happen. I never wanted Payton to be without her mother." Matt said to him.
"No, but you sure wanted Payton without her father. You were telling me to leave my wife and daughter. I would have never done that. I loved Krissy more than anything and I still do. We were happy. We were expecting Payton and we had the perfect family. You came and ruined it. Matt, I will never forgive you for taking Krissy away from me and Payton. Every time you look at my daughter, I hope you remember that it was you who took her mother away." He said.
"If you had just left Krissy when you found out she was pregnant, she would be alive and a part of Payton's life. But you wouldn't see reason." Matt said to him. "I knew you would hurt her and you did."
"I didn't hurt her, you did. You pushed her down the stairs and that caused her death." Adam said.
"I know that I pushed at her but I never wanted her hurt. I was just trying to get you to leave her and do the right thing." Matt replied. "You should have loved her enough to walk away."
"How dare you say that? I loved Krissy more than anything and I would never hurt her." Adam said getting close to Matt. "You killed her and you almost killed Payton. You don't deserve forgiveness."
"It should have been you who died. Too bad you didn't." Matt said. "Your daughter deserves a better father. Too bad it was you who knocked up Krissy."
"You ass." Adam said spearing Matt to the ground. He started to punch him just as Chris and Jay came by.
"Adam, stop." Jay said pulling Adam off. Chris pulled Matt off.
"You both need to stop." Chris said.
"He started it." Adam said. "He said that Payton deserved a better father and that it should have been me who died."
"Matt, why would you say that?" Jay asked shocked.
"Because it is true. Adam should have left Krissy when he found out she was pregnant. Then she would be alive." Matt said walking off.
"Adam, go cool down before you get Payton." Chris said to him. "And know that you are the best father to Payton. Krissy loved you so much and she wouldn't have allowed you to leave her anyway."
"Thanks guys. If you go to Cena's room, will you tell Payton I will come in a little while?" He said to them.
"Yeah." Jay said walking toward John's room.
Adam left and went to his hotel room to calm down. He wasn't going to let Payton see him upset. He hated what Matt had said. He knew that Krissy loved him and that Chris was right. Even if he had wanted to leave her, she wouldn't have let him.
Jay and Chris both arrived at John's room and told him what had happened. They didn't know that Payton overheard them say that Matt had said that she deserved a better father and it should have been Adam that died.
"Why would Matt say that?" Payton asked them. She came to where they where they were.
"Say what, angelfish." Jay asked.
"That daddy should have died instead of mommy." She replied.
"Sunshine, come here." John said picking her up and sitting her on his lap. "Matt didn't mean to say that. He was angry that your dad won't forgive him for your mother's accident."
"But Matt caused the accident. He killed my mommy and now he wants to take my daddy away." She said crying a little bit. She leaned back into John's chest. She put her head on it as he hugged her.
"No, sunshine. Matt is not going to take your daddy away." John said as he hugged her.
"Uncle John is right. We won't let Matt hurt you or your daddy." Chris said to her.
"Promise?" She asked them.
"Promise." They said together.
They cheered her up and played Life with her. They felt bad that she had overheard their conversation about Matt and Adam. She had lost her mom because of Matt and now, she thought that he was going to take her dad away. They would talk to Adam about it and let him know so, he could decide how to handle it.
Please Review!!!
