Chapter 22
After we got back to the hotel I decided that I wanted to talk to Vince.
"Who ya callin?" Jeff asked as he laid next to me on the bed. I leaned up against his side as he had his arm around me.
"Vince, I'll put it on speaker" I said as it rang
"Hello" Vince answered
"Hey Vince it's Katy"
"And Jeff"
"Hey guys, what's up?"
"Ok, I wanna know everything. I over heard Lisa telling Jeff. So what exactly is going on?"
"Your mom's looking for you" Vince stated
"Why?" I asked
"We don't know for sure. My lawyer said that it could be for money. You said she's basically an alcoholic right?"
"Ya. She probably lost her job and ran out of money. Have you been able to get a hold of her yet?"
"Ya. I actually just got off the phone with her"
"What'd she say?" Jeff asked
"The typical 'I just want my babies back' Katy remember, I will always take your word over hers but boy did she sound convincing"
"So what did you say to her?" I wanted to know
"I got her to agree on a meeting. No press, no media no lawyers, no nothing just us"
"When's that gonna be?"
"Tomorrow at the arena at 2. Melina, Chad, Beth, John and I are flying there tonight after RAW" Vince explained
"Alright, so what are we gonna do?" Jeff asked, reading my mind
"Try to get her to admit she just wants the money and doesn't really want you guys. If I have to I'll pay her off to sign custody over to John and Melina"
"That'll work. But I'll ask you the first thing she'll ask; What's she gonna tell the press?" I know she'll ask that, so we gotta cover the bases.
"I don't know, partially the truth. That she realized you guys are happier where you're at and you'll be better taken care of"
"Wait, wouldn't the courts have to get involved for Hennigan and Mel to get custody?" Jeff asked, he does have a point.
"Not if we get her to sign them over. My lawyer already has the papers. Once she signs them over, there's no turning back. Even if she were to get clean and realize her mistakes, she can't take you guys back cause she willingly signed the papers"
"Those papers will hold up in court right? Cause she could always sue"
"Yep. I even looked them over. It's iron clad. We'll get her to sign them Katy, don't worry" Vince encouraged
"Vince, I can't thank you enough. There's gotta be some way for me to repay you" I offered
"How about you become one of the greatest women's champions ever and make me some money"
I laughed "I can try"
"That's all I ask"
"Thank you" I said as sincerely as possible
"You're welcome. See you guys tomorrow"
"Bye" we both said and hung up. Then I started to cry.
"Kitty, honey. What's wrong?" he hugged me
"It's just" I tried to dry my tears a little "Chad and I have only been here for like 3 months and you guys are willing to go to these great lengths to keep us here. Last time we, well I was shown this much love was before my dad died. He loved us so much. He only got to be with Chad for 2 weeks before he was killed"
"Well, you guys never did anything wrong to get the mother you had. You guys are sweet and innocent. Wait, you're not so innocent anymore but you get my point" he said and made me laugh as I dried my tears.
"I love you" I kissed him
"I love you too" he said as I pinned him on the bed "I would love to do what you're thinking but I gotta get ready for that hot chick that's comin over that I told you about earlier" he smirked
"Shut up and get undressed" I laughed
So I had a great breakfast if you know what I mean. But ever since I got out of bed I've been a nervous wreck. All morning Jeff's been saying 'don't worry you guys won't have to go back' 'don't worry, we won't lose you guys' But I'm still worried as all get out cause even though we're better off with the WWE, by blood she's still our mother.
Jeff and I got to the arena around noon. I told him to go ahead inside. I wanted to stay out in the car. I wanted some time alone. If I go inside, I'll just hear the same stuff Jeff's been telling me all morning. So I literally sat in the car until I saw our mother walk into the arena. A couple minutes later I got a call from Vince telling me to come into his office. So I reluctantly went inside. I walk into his office and was bombarded by mother. (A/N: WHENEVER IT SAYS "MOTHER" SHE'S REFERING TO HER REAL MOM) As she's hugging me I see the office is pretty much full; Vince, Mom, Chad, Dad, John, Mike, Beth, Nattie, Lisa and Jeff.
"Ok get off me" I couldn't stand it
"But Katy" mother looked at me
"Don't even start that. All these people in here, actually everybody that works for Vince knows about you. I told them what Chad and I had to put up with when we were with you. So don't even act like you care. Did you know that you were so bad that the only reason Dad stayed with you was for Chad and I?" I asked
"What?" she asked incredulously
"Ya it's true. Now tell me HONESTLY. Why is it that you go looking for us now? I took Chad and left almost 3 months ago"
"Katy don't be too harsh on her" Vince said
"No, she put us through too much shit. She needs to hear it" I said to Vince then looked at mother for an answer "Well, why?"
"The truth?" she cocked off
"Yes"
"I lost my job. I live on the streets. I have to whore myself just to get money to…"
I cut her off "Drink?" I finished and she smacked me. So Jeff held on to me.
"Don't worry, I'm fine" I said so he wearily let go.
"How dare you. I haven't drank in 2 months. I have to do that to eat"
"Well tell me mother. Why did you lose your job? Did you go into work drunk again?" I smirked
"I don't have to put up with this verbal abuse from a 14 year old" she said and turned around to leave but Dad and Mike were blocking the door.
"That '14 year old' is your daughter that you treated like shit" Mom said as mother turned around "That '14 year old' is the one that me and my friends saw hitch hiking with a baby cause she wanted what was best for him. That '14 year old' raised her brother for the first year of his life. That '14 year old' now calls me Mom. Same with Chad here"
"He can talk now?" mothers face lit up
"Ya and his first word was 'Momma' which he said to me"
"Can he say more?" mother smiled, despite not being the one that her own son calls 'mom'
"Ya, he speaks a lot. His second word was 'dada' directed towards him" I said and pointed to dad "See, they may not be together but they are mom and dad to us"
Then mother got that look on her face that I remember all too well "As long as I don't sign over custody, they aren't shit to you"
"Really?" I laughed "Even if you didn't sign us over, you think we'd just break all contact with them? I don't think so. All these people in here are willing to take you to court. Cause you know in that cold, black heart of yours that if all these people in this room care this much, then Chad and I are better off" I explained the truth to her.
She stood there staring at me "What would I get out of this?" I knew it would get to that. I looked at Vince for the answer.
"How much would you settle for?" he asked
"Half a million" she said right away. See, she already had in mind what she wanted. What a bitch. But hey, it's not like I didn't already know that.
"Done" Vince stated as he got out his check book.
"Seriously?" she couldn't believe it
"Yes. If you promise to sign FULL CUSTODY of Katy and Chad over to Melina Perez and John Hennigan and never come around again. I will give you $500,000"
"Deal. But what do I tell the press?" she asked and I gave Vince that 'I told you so' look.
He smiled "Shut up Katy"
"I didn't say anything" mother just looked at us, not knowing what was going on.
"You didn't have to" he said to me then looked at mother "Tell them that you found out that the kids are better off with who they're with. That you want the best for your kids. And them being with who they're with is best"
"Sounds good. So where are these papers?" she said. So Vince gave them to her and she signed them. He gave her the check and she turned to leave.
"Wait" I decided to be nice to her for a minute. I gave her a hug "Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to us"
"You're welcome" she said and left. I ran into Vince's arms "Thank you sooooo much. I'll pay you that money back someday"
"You don't have to"
"Seriously?" I asked. Cause that's a lot of money. I mean I know Vince's makes close to if not a billion a year but still that's a lot of money.
"Seriously. You and Chad are a joy to have around. Plus, you guys make everybody in here so happy. Especially Jeff, I don't think he's ever had a friend like you Katy"
I smirked at Jeff "I don't think so either"
As soon as I walked out of Vince's office I went running down the hall yelling "We're free" Thank god that was that easy. I literally ran around the entire arena yelling that. When I turned one of the corners I ran right into Taker, I ran into him hard too. It knocked me on my ass and made him take a couple steps back.
"Watch where you're runnin kid" he stated
"Sorry" I cocked off a little. I didn't really mean to. It just seems that every time I talk to Mark, I get an attitude.
"Was that you yelling?" he asked
"Ya, it was" I said matter-of-factly as I stood back up.
"Is it really necessary to be yelling?" he asked in that intimidating voice that he uses on-screen.
"Yes, it is necessary"
"Why is that?"
I shrugged my shoulders and simply said "We're free" and then ran around him and down the rest of the arena. When I got back around to Vince's office, everyone was standing there like a blockade. I ran up to Mom who was holding Chad, picked Chad up then smiled "We're free" so he smiled back. I stood there and looked at them all just staring at me with that look that said 'I can't believe you just ran yelling around the arena'
"I'm happy" was all I could think to say.
Mom walked up to me "We know you are, and so are we. But now I'm legally your mother" she smirked at me, knowing I couldn't say anything cause Vince was standing right there.
"And you'll do a great job of it" I smiled
"You know what? There's 3 hours before the show, you guys know what you're doing tonight. Go out for a bit" Vince suggested
"Really?" Nattie asked
"Ya. Go celebrate" Vince confirmed
"Thanks Vince" Mike said and we all left to eat somewhere.
A/N: SO WHAT DID YOU GUYS THINK OF THAT ONE? ATLEAST NOW WE KNOW SHE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HER MOTHER ANYMORE :D
