The next morning, Adam went to Jerry's and picked up Payton. They had a plane to catch to the next city. He had called Briana and apologized again for leaving like that. She told him it was no big deal and to not worry about it and that when he got back, they would go on another date. Once they arrived in Houston, Adam went to the hotel to check in. When they got there, Payton took a nap while Adam talked to the guys.

"Guys, I want to talk to you about something and I want you to not make judgments." He said to them.

"We promise." John said to him.

"Okay, after my date the other night with Briana, I had a strange dream." He said sitting down.

"What kind of dream?" Jay asked.

"About Krissy." He said looking at him.

"So, you always have dreams about her." Randy said to him.

"This one was different. She came and told me to move on." He replied. "She said that she helped me find Briana so I could move on."

"Wow." John said. "What else did she say?"

"That is was time to move on and that I couldn't stay in love with her memory anymore. She didn't want me to. She wants me to be happy." He said. "And I know she is right. It is time to move on."

"Good. I am glad that you have realized that." Randy said.

"I do. I don't know why Krissy came in my dreams but I am glad. Now I can move on like she wants me to."

"Adam, I can't explain why that dream happened but I am glad that it did. It is time for you to be happy and Payton too." Jay said.

"Thanks. I guess I needed Krissy to tell me it was okay to move on. Now, she has and I can. I don't know if it is with Briana but I want to try and find out. My daughter deserves the chance to have a real mom not a picture." He replied as Payton came into the room. She, of course, went right to John.

"Uncle John, what you doing?" She asked him while climbing into his lap.

"I was just talking with your dad." He said to her. "What made you get up?"

"My tummy." She said sitting back so her head was leaning back on his chest. "It said it was hungry."

"What did your tummy say it wanted?" Adam asked her with a laugh.

"Hamburgers." She asked. "Can we have them?"

"Yes. Are you guys coming?" Adam asked her.

"Of course." John said. "I can never pass up having a hamburger with my favorite girl."

"I'm in." Jay said getting up. Chris and Randy followed.

The group headed downstairs to the hotel restaurant. They were walking there when Matt walked up. They all wondered what he wanted.

"What do you want Matt?" Adam asked him.

"I was just coming over to say hey." Matt said. "How are you Payton?"

"Fine." She said quickly but moving closer to John.

Matt went closer to where Payton was. She immediately got closer to John who picked her up.

"Matt, what do you want?" Jay asked. He was standing beside John.

"I just wanted to say hi to Krissy's daughter. Krissy and I were close at one time." Matt said.

"You should leave, Matt, now." Adam said. "I don't want you near my daughter."

"I won't hurt her. I just wanted to talk to her. Maybe tell her things about her dad that she doesn't know. Maybe tell her about her mom." He said getting closer to John and Payton.

Jay and Randy both stepped in front of Matt and Adam while John held Payton close. They didn't want Matt and Adam to fight.

"Matt, walk away." Chris said to him. "And stay away from Payton."

"Wow, Adam, all the guys want to protect your daughter. I'm sure it has nothing to do with you." Matt said. "I bet they are only doing this for Krissy. Because we know that no one likes you."

"That is not true. They like my daddy!" Payton said to him hugging John and turning her head away from Matt.

"Payton, Matt is just talking. You know we like your dad." John said holding her. He could tell she was upset.

"Matt leave now. You are upsetting my daughter and I won't let you." Adam said stepping closer but Jay and Randy were in the middle along with Chris.

"Fine. I will go. Maybe I will call Briana and asked her out. She seems like a nice person." He said moving back from John and Payton. "And needs someone better than you."

"You stay away from Briana also. I will not let you take something else from me." Adam said to him.

"Like you took Krissy from me. After we lost that baby, she and I were working our way back. Then you came in and stole her. You got her drunk and convinced her to marry you. Then you knocked her up and you caused that fall. If you had left her like I told you, she would be alive and with me." Matt said. "I hope your daughter knows that it is your fault her mother is dead. You should have left Krissy alone. That storyline was stupid and it should have never been done."

"You ass." Adam said taking a punch to Matt.

They were soon fighting on the ground. Jay, Randy and Chris tried to break it up while John took Payton back to the hotel room. He knew that Adam wouldn't want her to see the fight. He couldn't believe that Matt would say that in front of Payton.

"Break it up." Jay said as they tried to separate Matt and Adam. But they were getting no where.

Just as they were trying, The Undertaker and Kane were coming by. They managed to get Adam and Matt apart.

"Matt go away now." Jay said to him.

"Fine. I'm out of here." Matt said walking to his room.

"Thank you." Randy said to Mark and Glen.

"What was going on?" Mark asked.

"Matt was mouthing off at Adam about Payton and Adam snapped." Chris said to him.

"Well, it is done now." Mark said walking away with Glen.

"Where is Payton?" Adam said when he noticed she wasn't there.

"John took her to his room, I guess." Chris said. "I'm sure he knew that you wouldn't want her to see this."

"You are right. I wouldn't. I have to talk to her." Adam said.

"Go get cleaned up first." Chris said.

"I will." Adam said walking to his room. He knew he had to get cleaned up before seeing Payton.

"Is daddy going to be okay?" Payton asked John as they were in the hotel room.

"He will be fine." John replied to her.

"I never saw daddy hit someone who wasn't in the ring." She said writing on the hotel stationary.

"Yeah and I am sure that your dad didn't want you to see it." He said sitting by her at the table in the room.

"Daddy said fighting outside the ring isn't good." She said to him.

"And he is right. You should never fight. You should walk away." John said to her.

"Why didn't daddy walk away?" She asked.

"Because he was afraid that Matt would hurt you." He said picking her up and putting her on his lap. "See, sunshine, daddy will do anything to protect their children. When Matt came near you, all your daddy saw was him getting close to you. He remembered what happen with your mom and he had to make sure that you were safe. He would do whatever it takes to protect you."

"Oh, okay." She said just as they heard a knock at the door.

"That is probably your daddy." John said walking to the door with Payton in his arms. He opened the door and saw Adam. "Adam, Payton was wondering when you were coming."

"Yeah. I had to take care of something." He said coming. "So, ladybug, ready for lunch now."

"Yes. My tummy is still saying hamburgers." She said with a smile.

"Okay. Let's go to lunch." He said taking her from John.

"Is everyone else going to come too?" She asked.

"We will meet you there." John said to her.

"Okay." She said as she and Adam left. "Daddy, is Matt going to hurt Briana or me?"

"No. He won't." Adam said as they headed to the restaurant.

They made it there this time and ordered lunch. The guys joined them later and they had a nice lunch trying to forget the confrontation with Matt. Adam hoped that Matt would get the message and leave him and Payton alone as well as leave Briana alone.
