A/N: I only own the OC.
Thank you for reviewing. Enjoy!
Reese POV
I was glad to get to have dinner with Dad and Stephanie, but I just wanted to get some sleep. I had made my decision and I was happy with it. Stephanie and Dad had given me a few pointers, warned me about certain people, and told me specifically not to start dating anyone in the Shield and a few other superstars that Dad didn't want me around. I guess they knew something I didn't, but judging by Dean finding me tonight after the segment I didn't have to worry about that. I knew that I would still have to deal with Dean, but I would when I was ready. I got onto the elevator and the doors were closing when someone slipped inside.
"I didn't think the WWE's new princess would be staying with us commoners." they said and I knew immediately that it was Dean.
"Not now." I said and he chuckled as I looked at him.
"So, you are his daughter... interesting. What, did your mom just have a one night stand and he just appear in your life? Or did Stephanie rip your family apart?" he asked with some venom in his voice. I was loosing it for talking about my mom.
"Or was your Mom just a ring rat that..." he was saying when I couldn't take it anymore. I slapped Dean as hard as I could. He was the prime example for why I didn't let anyone in on my family secrets. He was the reason I didn't even know if I wanted to let everyone know, but he was also the reason I had to tell who I was.
"You know nothing about my mom, my past, or me." I hissed at him.
"So, she was just..." he was saying when I cut him off again with another slap. The sound was so loud as it echoed across the elevator and the force pushed him back into the wall.
"My mother died and my dad was all I had. Stephanie has been an amazing step mom, and you are the reason that I joined them tonight." I hissed in his ear as the doors opened. I quickly walked off and made my way down the hallway. I held my head up high or at least high enough for the tears not to spill down my cheeks. I knew that I would have to take some ribbing or judgements from the truth, but I never wanted them to bring my mom into it.
I made it to my room, walked in, and fell against the door. I was sobbing and regretting my decision. Stephanie had warned me about people being mean, saying that I got it because of them, and other things. I knew that it would be whispered around the locker room, but I never imagined anyone would be stupid enough to actually say it to my face. I knew that the diva's could be catty, but Dean... I guess I should have realized he was the one uncontrollable one. He had officially taken Randy's place as the unstable one on the roster.
"Reese?" a voice said from the other side of the door and there was a small knock.
I stood up and ripped open the door. I was now looking at a slight defeated Dean.
"I don't think you should have anything else to say." I warned him and he sighed.
"Look..." he was saying and I cut him off.
"No, you look, I liked talking to you the other night, but I can tell that once you figured out who my family is either by me telling you or what happened tonight would have changed everything. I am sorry that I wasted our time on it." I said and he looked surprised at that.
"Fine, I guess I was right to assume that you really were just a stuck up bitch." he said and turned to walk away. I slammed the door shut and sighed. I knew that I had made an enemy, but whatever. I was over this... I had committed to being with the Authority and my family. I was going to do this.
Paul (HHH) POV
I got to the next arena and walked out. I found Reese and Becky in the ring. I knew that Reese had probably already dealt with some of the superstars giving their unwanted opinions. I had tried to protect her from it, but it was time to deal with it all.
"Hi, Mr. Paul." Becky said and I chuckled. She had been calling me that since NXT.
"Hey Dad." Reese said as I got into the ring.
"You all alright this morning?" I asked them and they both nodded.
"Reese." I said and she sighed.
"Yes, dad?" she asked me and I could tell that something was bothering her.
"I will find you later." Becky said to her and hugged her before quickly getting out of the ring.
"You regret this already?" I asked her and she looked at me with a dirty look.
"No, you all warned me what would happen... and I am just learning to deal with it." she said and I nodded. I pulled her in for a hug.
"Thanks, Dad." she said and I nodded.
I talked to her for a few more minutes as other superstars and divas began to arrive.
"I have a meeting." I said and she nodded.
"Me too... costuming." she said and I nodded.
"Just remember... your grandfather is happy." I said and she laughed. I knew that Vince had probably already gotten to them and given them ideas.
"Surprises still do happen." she said and I chuckled. Vince usually got behind story lines, but after last night at dinner, he was really behind this storyline.
I walked to the meeting with creative. I was glad to hear positive feedback about the new part of the storyline with Reese. We went over a few more things and they had thrown out a storyline that involved a romantic twist. I wasn't sure about it, but Stephanie was for it. I guess Stephanie wanted Reese to find her soulmate much like we had found each other. I also wasn't sure how Reese would take to that storyline.
Dean POV
I walked into the locker room and sat down.
"Long night?" Roman asked me and I shrugged. I had gone on a long walk after Reese had told me her own way to fuck off.
"What's going on?" he asked me.
"Nothing, just tired." I said and waved it off, but he didn't look convinced.
"Move on from her." he said and I smirked. I knew that he was talking about Renee, but it fit for Reese as well. I actually let myself entertain the idea of dating her, but that was long gone. I had put my foot in my mouth, plus she was his daughter. Paul and I didn't get along when I was in NXT and it's not like the relationship has improved since then.
