CHAPTER 15

"Shawn, you're really gonna make him sleep in the guest room?" Raine asked curiously, giggling in spite of herself. Shawn had insisted she take a few days off and go home to Texas to recover from the match and had gone along with her. What Shawn hadn't realized was that Shane was now apparently a part of the package.

"Yep." Shawn was carrying a spare sheet set into the room, smiling innocently at Shane who just stood there looking very out of place in their modest house. "Sorry Shane, house rules. I'm just an old fashioned guy that way."

"That's perfectly fine, Shawn." Shane said politely, winking at Raine. It wasn't like they couldn't sneak into each other's room or even out for that matter. God, Shane felt like a thief in the night, taking Shawn's little girl the way he had. Though he did smirk at the thought, if she had been a girl then he most definitely was turning her into a woman. Walking over to kiss her, he moved his lips to her ear. "This'll be fun."

Raine shook her head, smiling at him and backed out of the room. "I'll go start supper, pops."

Shawn both groaned and smiled at the same time, looking at Shane. He still couldn't believe how happy the guy was making Raine. "You're gettin' one warning McMahon: you hurt her in any way and I'll kill ya." He slapped Shane on the back. "Enjoy yer stay." He walked out, heading downstairs.

Grunting, Shane felt his back to make sure there wasn't a dent or something before following. He smiled when he seen Raine flitting about the kitchen, joining her. Throughout the cooking process, there were a lot of stolen kisses and caresses.

"Smells good." Shawn said, following his nose.

"Indeed it does." Shane murmured, stepping away from her, grinning when she blushed three shades of red.

After a dinner she couldn't properly enjoy because she was being distracted, Raine headed out back to the pond. She carried a long towel over her arm, an oversized tee shirt over her white swimsuit. When she had asked Shane to come with her, Shawn had immediately intercepted, saying he wanted to talk a little business before turning in for the night.

She shook her head, trying not to smile knowing Shane would end up sitting there and agree with anything Shawn said, just to shut Shawn up.

She was right, after an hour of absolutely nothing but mumbling and hemming, hawing Shane was free to go. He was walking the worn path out back when he spotted her on her way back, soaking wet. Shawn was going to die. He'd just missed what could have been on hell of a swim. He met her halfway, laughing when she jumped in his arms, sopping wet and all, their lips instantly meeting. "How bout we run away for a few hours?'

"Mmm… sounds good." Raine murmured, drawing him off the path and into the grass, the sun slowly dying in the sky. She had to smirk when Shane just arched an eyebrow. "City boy." She teased, laughing when he growled, wrapping her arms around his neck again, pressing her body against his. Letting him feel every curve, the wet shirt clinging to her like a second skin.

"Tease." He whispered harshly, dropping to his knees and taking her with him. Shane had just started tugging her shirt up when a voice cleared behind them.

They both looked up.

"Don't mean to interrupt what I'm sure would be a passionate moment but… it's gettin' dark kids." Shawn said, folding his arms over his chest. "Inside."

Shane watched as Shawn headed back the way he'd come, shaking his head. "Don't you think it's time you got your own place?"

"I would but I'm hardly home, what's the point?" She muttered, the mood totally destroyed. Sighing, Raine shook water out of her hair. "Though I might change my mind and start look' around." She added, eyes boring holes through Shawn's disappearing back. "Or else I'll wind up kickin' his ass all through Texas."

Snorting, Shane wrapped his arms around her, pulling them both to their feet. "You know-"

"NOW!"

"Come on," He sighed reluctantly. "Before he has a damn conniption fit."

Shawn was going to be the reason Shane had blue balls.

***

"How was the time off?" Paul asked when the three arrived at the arena together, arching an eyebrow when Shane and Raine instantly took off. "What the-"

"They found out it's not so fun at Shawn's house." Shawn said smugly, shrugging his shoulders with a smirk. "I made them sleep in separate rooms, the whole nine and a half yards."

Stephanie groaned. "Shawn, you didn't…"

"Damn right he did!" Paul was laughing his ass off. "I bet Raine was pissed."

"I just clobbered in the head with a door." Jeff moaned, stumbling up to them. "Any reason why Rai is cursin' up a storm and Shane is looking like he's ready to eat her alive?"

It was Stephanie's turn to laugh.

Matt appeared behind his brother, scowling. "Your kid, daughter, whatever the hell she is just knocked me on my ass." He growled, frowning at Jeff who was still holding his head.

"Why?"

"I said she looked sexually frustrated."

"Oh christ."

That sent Paul and Stephanie over the edge as they leaned against each other, tears streaming down their faces, laughing uncontrollably.

"What's goin' on?" Glenn demanded, joining the crowd. "What's so damn funny?"

"Rai and Shane are-"

"Sexually frustrated." Steph finished for her husband.

Glenn's eyes widened, glancing at a smug looking Shawn and began laughing as well.

***

Raine was in the process of undressing Shane when there was a loud banging on the door. Groaning, she stepped away from him, watching regretfully as he buttoned his shirt up.

"Shawn sent me to get you." Michelle was saying a second later, looking abashed by interrupting what she knew was probably a fuck session. "You're supposed to go check in with Steph about what's going on for tonight's match."

Shawn had sent Michelle because he knew Raine would murder his ass.

***

"You are evil, man." Paul was still laughing, sitting alongside Glenn.

Glenn nudged him when Raine walked in, whipping out his cell phone and snapping a picture. He shoved her away when she went to hit him. "Now is that anyway to treat your tag team partner?"

Stephanie was trying not to giggle. "I hope you… feel better… soon." She said, holding out a script.

"Ya'all can go fuck yourselves." Raine hissed, trying to get the phone from Glenn. She pinched his ass when he stood up and when he just gaped, reached into his pocket and darted across the room, quickly accessing the pictures. "Wow Glenn…" She said, staring wide eyed. "That one is pretty interestin'." She cocked her head to the side, staring. "Stephanie… why do you have your name stitched in yer panties?"

Glenn went white as Paul's eyes shot open.

"WHAT?" Paul exploded, getting to his feet just so he could snatch Glenn's ass up. "WHY DO YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF MY WIFE'S PANTIES ON YOUR FUCKING PHONE?"

Stephanie snapped out of her shock. "Stop it, Paul!" She yelled, rushing over to pull him off Glenn. "It was a joke!"

"You fucked my wife!"

"Man, why would I do that when I can CLEARLY get any woman I wnt?"

Paul opened his mouth to retaliate only to wind up with Stephanie's hand across his face. "What the hell?"

"You are UNBELIEVABLE!" She screamed, storming out of the office just as Mark walked in.

"What'd I miss?"

Shawn snatched the phone out of Raine's hand, shaking his head and snorted. "Paul just bought Raine screwing with him." He said, showing a picture of one of Glenn's cats. "There's definitely pussy on this phone."

"I didn't mean it to wind up like that." She said flatly, looking between Paul and Glenn. "It was a JOKE. You guys think it's funny to do it to me so I was just returnin' the favor."

"And Paul turned into jackass of the year. So Mark, welcome back."

Paul was now bolting out the door after his wife.

"Lord… yeah, I'm definitely back, thanks Shawn." Mark shook his head, walking over to shake Glenn's hand before moving to Shawn.

"MARKY!" Kaleigh squealed as she zoomed past Raine, nearly knocking her down before jumping into her brother's arms. "Darlin', I've missed ya!"

"I missed you too."

"I'm datin' Matt Hardy."

Mark suddenly stopped grinning.

"Lemme know when Paul and Stephanie are done makin' up." Raine said to Shawn.

"Darlin', mind telling Shane I don't need any grandbabies just yet?"

Glenn was once again laughing his ass off.

Growling, she turned to tackle her dad. "I've had enough of your damn mouth!"

Shawn held his hands up to shield his face, laughing wildly.

Mark and Kaleigh were also laughing, watching as the two rolled around. Shawn just protecting himself and having a chuckle at her expense, Raine thoroughly pissed off.

"There you are!" Shane froze, staring down at them before shaking his head and pulling Raine to her feet. He kissed her lips softly, calming her down. "What was that about?"

She reluctantly told him.

"Oh… well as far as I'm concerned, I'd love you to have my baby."

Raine had to hide her face in his neck to keep everyone form seeing how red she was going.

"Uh how bout no?" Shawn said, getting to his feet. "You're not even divorced yet for one, ya already got two kids with the last woman ya cheated on." He stopped when Raine began to tense, knowing he was a second away from being tackled again.

"What we do is none of your business, Shawn." Shane snapped, glancing down at her head and smiled. "I love Raine and I will do anything to make her happy. And if she wants to be with me and have my children, then that's great too. So you need to back off and let us live our lives." He was done with Shawn and taking his shit. Though he did hold tight to Raine so she didn't attack anyone.

Raine's head was spinning. Babies? She hadn't ever considered that. She hastily cleared her throat, blinking a few times to clear her head. "Not that kids are in my immediate future." She clarified, seeing the relief wash over Shawn's face and frowned. "I still want to keep movin' forward with my career, then maybe-"

"So Mark, how was your time off?" Shawn asked, needing to get away from this topic.

"It was good." Mark shrugged casually. "Did some thinking, got my head together and whatnot." No need for anyone to know he had almost drowned himself in Jack.

"I'm not saying we have to have a baby." Shane was saying to Raine, refusing to be deterred from the subject. "My point is, we can do whatever we want and Shawn will stay out of it. Are we clear, Shawn?" He demanded, using what had been coined the 'McMahon' tone of voice, ignoring Raine's shocked expression.

"Certainly." Shawn said coldly. "Rai, you have a match to gear for." He added pointedly.

Rolling her eyes, she kissed Shane lingeringly before pulling away and walking out of the room. She stopped long enough to look at Mark. "Nice to see you back." She said, disappearing from the room.

As soon as she was gone, Shawn arched an eyebrow, staring daggers at Shane. "You know, you have a lot of balls, little man."

"I'm like my father in that aspect." Shane's tone was flat, his eyes focused on Mark who was now talking to Glenn, Kaleigh standing at his side. "You'd better steer clear of her too, Dead Man. She's no longer your concern."

Mark slowly turned around, green eyes sparking with anger. He couldn't help but wonder if this little moron wanted his head stuffed up his ass. "I was planning on 'steerin' clear', son, not that it's any of your damn business. But just so YOU know, I can do whatever the Hell I want around this place, including concern myself with WHOever the hell I want. There ain't a damn thing YOU or your daddy can do to stop me either." Now it was him looking smug while Shane trembled in silent fury.

***

Raine sat musingly in a chair as her make-up was done, still playing on her youthful looks to go with the 'young girl' thing. No wonder Shawn still treated her like a kid, she still resembled one. Sighing, she slipped out of the chair, thanking the artist and walked to the café. She was still spinning over the whole 'babies' thing.

She was too damn young for kids. No two ways about it. That and she had plans for her future that didn't include a passel of munchkins, even if they were Shane's.

Before she made it to far, she was jerked into a dark dressing room, and this time wasn't Shane pulling her. Raine was slammed against the wall, feeling intense deja vous, a hand on her mouth and a knee between her thighs.

"Sshh, no need for screaming. Let's talk."

The light flicked on and it wasn't a surprise to find David looming over her. This was redundant.

"You have a lot of nerve attacking me the way you did. Do you have any idea what I want to do to you, hmmm?" He buried his nose in her hair, feeling her tense. "Do you have any idea what I want to hear from you?"

She sincerely hoped it was a written apology because the verbal had a lot of cussing in it. Raine's green eyes flashed angrily, DARING him to do something and lose his job. He would be a fool to even THINK it. She squirmed against him, groaning into his hand when he dug his knee against her.

"Relax sweetheart, I'm not going to do anything to you. I'm just giving you a warning. You can either stop with your bullshit or I'm going to destroy your family, friends and then you." He smirked when those eyes widened even more. "Throwing in a fuck wouldn't hurt either."

She was trying to kill him with her eyes alone, spitting when he uncovered her mouth. "You can kiss my ass." She said coldly. "I went along with your blackmail before Bitchtista, not again." Raine refused to let anyone run her life like that ever again. "If I were you, I'd run and keep on going, cause when this gets out, yer dead."

"I have Vince on my side, sweetie. All I would have to do is HINT that Shane might get the big picture if his head was knocked off his shoulders and reattached properly and I'd get a match. Hell, I could even request you be cuffed ringside just so you can watch." David sneered.

Raine stared at him, her heart racing. There was a list of things this man would never forgive her. Sleeping with mark, beating his ass publicly twice… She thought of Shane, that violent mental picture forming all too easily and swallowed hard. "No. I won't let you blackmail me again, David."

Scowling, he stepped away, letting go of her. When her shoulders slumped in relief, he drove a fist into her side, smirking when he heard a crack. "That's your one and only warning, bitch." He growled, stepping over her as she crumpled, walking out of the dressing room without a backward glance.
