"She's shitting us.. Right?" Mariah gaped at the monitor in the Diva's locker room, her hand on her hip as she bit her lower lip.
"Nope, apparently not." Natalya muttered as Mariah growled and then said "So she's gonna turn her back on us, for that skipping piece of shit?"
"You said it, Ri, not me." Kaitlyn said as the three women looked at one another and smirked. "Just to check.. You two thinkin what I'm thinkin right now?"
"Mhmm."
"Deffo. Lemme see if pops has gotten back from the doctor so I can get him to watch Stella, okay?" Mariah said as she slunk out into the hallway, smacking into Layla El, who was talking to AJ Lee.
"Awww.. If it's not the trashiest of the trashy. Sleep with any bikers last night?"
"Fuck you in the ass with a spoon, Lee." Mariah said stiffly as she clenched her fists closed and open, dying to get a piece of her.
"Careful, Mariah.. This is a pg show." Layla reprimanded as Mariah smirked and calmly said "Stella?"
"Yeah mama?"
"Go back in the locker room, real quick. I'm gonna be sayin a lot of adult words, probably gonna beat the crap outta these two bimbos. You don't need to see it, Volt."
"But mama!"
"GO!" Mariah said, barely keeping her calm at this point, because AJ kept eyeing her little girl like she intended to do something to her, and Mariah was not about to have that.
"I never gets to has any funs." Stella pouted as she shuffled into the locker room and tugged the hem of her godmommy Eve's cutoffs and said "Mama and AJ about to fight outside."
Eve bent to pick up the little girl and then asked, "Was it just Mama and AJ?"
"Uh Uh.. I thinks Brie and Nikki was hidin, and I knows I see Layla with her."
"S-err, crap, sweetie, Aunt Eve meant to say crap."
"Put me down, go helps her!"
Wade spoke up from the hallway, "Since doesn't look like it's gonna bloody end anytime soon, and nobody's seen Undertaker, I'll take her. Might be better if I do." as he stepped in, held out his arms for Stella, who clapped and laughed, seeing the fight going on behind him in the hallway.
Eve eyed him warily, but Natalya nudged her and said "It's okay.. He's a stiff prick sometimes, but he's not like some of the other idiots back here. Besides, she likes him."
Eve nodded and the remaining few women involved in this little ongoing war ran out into the hallway, grabbing someone as all hell broke loose backstage.
The fight began to pick up intensity and noiseoutside, drawing a crowd around the group of girls. "We were hoping that skank Eve or Natalya would be the one who walked out first.. But you'll have to do." Layla said as Eve laughed and called out, "Right back here, Layla, or can you not see me over all the silicon in your tits now days?" and lunged at her, taking her down.
Mariah smirked as her hand closed around a mop handle lying nearby and she swung it a few times, the handle making contact with AJ's face. "You were saying, doll?" she asked as she laughed. Natalya caught up to her quickly, explained that Wade had Stella until her father or Michelle finally got to the arena.
"Just as long as she stays out of this. I don't want her getting hurt." Mariah said as they set to destroying the hallway with each other's fight spilled over into the parking lot where Dean Ambrose sat with a few of the other guys, smoking and talking for a little bit, and the men quickly realized it was move or be moved, stepping back, smirks on their faces.
"What's gotten into 'em lately?"
"Hell, I been wondering the same thing." Seth muttered as Dean yelled "Go for her knees, Ria, damn. Ya act like a damn rookie out there, I know ya know what the hell ya doin."
Mariah shot him a thumbs up, ignoring the fact that once again, he'd called her the same thing Mox used to when they dated and she was on independent. She wouldn't realize what he'd said for the second time in the week until later, when she was calmed down, actually..
She dove, took Brie down by the knees, and then the security descended on them as the cameras captured everything that'd happened, streaming it to the front.
About an hour later found the entire group of Divas sitting in Mr. McMahon's office as the man paced, obviously a little peeved at their antics.
Stella giggled as she looked up at Wade and whispered, "Mama in deep poo."
Wade bit back a laugh and then said "She is, Volt."
"But she not the one who starts it. I sawed it all! I tellin." Stella said as she climbed down Wade's body, and before he could catch her, she'd gone into the inner office, tugged on Mr. McMahon's pants and looked up at him, a non amused look on her chubby little face.
"What is it, Stella?"
"Ya can't be mad at my mama and my aunties.. They didn't starts it.. They just finish it. It was those stupits over there." Stella said as she growled and pointed in AJ's direction.
"She's lying." AJ said quickly as Vince's eyes settled on AJ and her little 'group'.
He paced a few more moments and said calmly, "What has gotten into you ladies?"
The shouting and name calling, taunts started all over again and Wade walked in, grabbing Stella quickly, stepping back out, shutting the door. A few seconds later, he was tapped on the shoulder by Mariah's father, Undertaker, who asked with a smirk, "Lemme guess. Girls gone wild, WWE Backstage Brawl edition?"
"Mhmm." Wade said as Undertaker held out his arms, Stella went to him. "You late! You miss everything! Mama got a chair, and she throwed somebody in the garbage bin even."
Undertaker chuckled and looking at Wade said warily, "Thanks for watchin her.. The baby got sick, had to take her to the doctor. Michelle was worried sick."
"Not a problem. Stella and I watched." Wade chuckled as Stella laughed and then said "It was funny, you say you was gonna give 'em all a bullhammer."
"I would have too." Wade muttered as Undertaker eyed him suspiciously. He wasn't entirely sure how much he liked this guy hanging around his daughter, but he figured anybody beat her ex, or that other guy she dated, who was on their roster now.
Oh yeah, he knew about Ambrose and his daughter, and no, it didn't make him happy, not in the slightest. But he could kind of see the attraction the guy might have had for Mariah, she'd always dated the 'bad guys', he'd learned a long time ago, the less he said, the better off. When he had to, he stepped in. Until then?
Not even.
Michelle, on the other hand, rushed over and then said "Thank God Wade had Volt."
"Is that why you were drivin like a bat outta hell when Eve texted, told ya what was happenin?"
"You're damn right, Mark. There is no way in hell I'm gonna let Ambrose alone with my grandkid."
Wade chuckled.. Maybe getting closer to Mariah and Stella was going to be a little easier than he originally anticipated.
Now, if only he could get Mariah to cave..
Mariah walked out of the office fuming as Undertaker put his hands on her arms and said "Breathe in.. Breathe out.."
"Not helping, daddy."
"What'd McMahon say?" Michelle asked in concern as Mariah growled and said "That sexist son of a... Oh we're all getting a match alright.. He wants us to fight for the contendership.. Again.. Anything goes.. In bikinis. Do I look like I'ma parade around in my skimpies just to prove I fuckin deserve to fight, daddy?"
Undertaker growled then said "You don't have to."
"I'm not."
"Neither are we. We're all gonna wear the tops, but cut offs on bottom. If he doesn't like it, he can.."
"Hey, whoa, kid present." Kaitlyn cut Eve off in mid rant as Mariah chuckledand then said "So.. I'm starving.. Anyone else?"
Wade smirked and said "You do still like those disgusting, greasy cheeseburgers, right?" as he held one out from the concession stand, along with a cold soda.
"Awww.. Look at you.. Being all sweet and stuff." Mariah joked as Wade shrugged then said "Not really.. Stella got ice cream."
"Damn it, Wade, seriously?"
He chuckled and said "Relax.. Wasn't enough to give her a sugar rush."
"Says the man that let her eat half a damn bag of Lucky Charms." Mariah muttered as she looked at her former enemy turned probably best male friend..
Could there be more there, if she let it?
And why did Dean Ambrose remind her so much of the guy she dated while on independent? What about her feelings there?
Instead of thinking too much, she dug into her food, practically inhaling it.
First, she needed to get her head back on straight, get herself and her daughter settled into their new lives.. Then, maybe she'd try and date again.
But she'd been watching both men with Stella, and she had to say.. She wasn't ruling either guy out at this point..
A/N: Holy crap on a cracker! I'm so happy, so many reviews already, and I've only really just started this one! I love you guys soooooo freakin much, you're all amazing! I'm so glad you like this, I was worried it'd be a little too out there or something, but..
That said, I need to ask you guys something.. Who do you see with Mariah/Stella? I'm not even sure who she'd go with, I only have basic bare things figured out about her personality, actually.. I do know she's kinda like a country/biker/tomboy type and she doesn't take anyone's crap.. So yeah, that's all I do know for now.
Suggestions, ladies?
The chapter above.. I got inspired while watching Miz Tv for tonight. And yeah, while I'm not eve's biggest fan, judging by what the line up is as of late? I'd take her back over this crap with AJ and the Bellas. I realize that it all probably would never go down this way, but what the hell, right? It's my imagination, lol. Blame my overactive imagination..
Roman's not up for a pairing in this one, btw, just in case I actually pick up writing my roman x oc story later. But yeah, That's about it.
Thanks so much for all the reviews, I hope you guys are liking the story so far.
