Finding Each Other Chapter 8
-2016-
Throughout the passed twelve-thirteen some odd years, a lot had happen for Shane. He decided to work things out with Marissa and had their first son Declan. Following that they had Kenyan and Rogan. Things seemed to be really good between them. He didn't keep in touch with Macy. It was hard at first, but he knew in the end it was probably for the best. But it was in late 2014 when Marissa was shopping when a former disgruntled employee took revenge on the manager of the store killing the manger, everyone who was shopping including Marissa and then himself. It was pretty devastating to him and his family. But Shane had to rise above it and move on for his boys. He decided that he was going to sell his company You on Demand and get back with WWE and be with his family more. He decided to get himself in better shape and talked with Stephanie and Paul about doing a match at wrestlemania 32 in 2016. He had used some connections to get back in shape and talked with Mark Calaway about doing the match together. It had been in the works and the time was approaching slowly. It was now February and he was getting ready to make his first appearance on RAW.
Meanwhile, Macy went a different route. After the rape, Macy didn't stay with the company very long. Bill only stayed until wrestlemania 20. Macy moved in with him for a while and did a few different business endeavors and adding to her resume. But she needed to move on and find a place of her own. She ended up getting a really good job opportunity in New York in advertising. She found a nice little condo and made the place her home. That was back in 2011. It wasn't until 2005 that she even started dating after going through the counseling precautions after the attack. Unfortunately, they were unable to find who did it and Macy had to come to terms that she may never get closure and hope that it wasn't someone following her. She hadn't heard anything so she figured she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Shane was practicing in a gym not too far from his place. He had his sons with him and they were having fun learning some techniques as well. He had been there almost two hours and decided to call it a day. He hit the showers and just threw on another t-shirt and jeans and go take the boys for some ice-cream. There was a local shop they went to every now and then.
Macy was enjoying her lunch break with her co-worker Breanna and they decided to go for the dessert route instead. Breanna was born and raised in New York and knew just the place to take her.
"So this place is so special huh?"
"Oh yeah, you look at the darn near hundred selection of toppings and many different choices of ice-cream and you pay two dollars a scoop and 50 cents a topping. They even have like ten different kinds of cones. I love to get banana ice cream with the strawberry flavored cone and drizzle it with chocolate syrup."
"I can't do banana. Sorry." They walked inside.
Macy was looking at all the toppings hoping it wasn't going to take her whole lunch break trying to figure out what she wanted. She was in her little zone when she heard a little boy. "Dad, I got sprinkles!" He must have been around six or seven years old. She looked over out of instinct and saw him with two other boys who were older than him. They had to be his brothers she figured seeing as how they looked a lot alike. The older one was getting ready to sit down blocking the father figure when he sat down revealing a gentleman with a nice build, he had a dark and light grey mix for hair and the most beautiful eyes, but it was then she realized who it was. Her heart must have stopped for three beats. She was unaware that Breanna was watching her. It was her hand waving in front of her that caught her attention.
"Hey earth to Macy, what the heck are you staring at?" Breanna looked the direction that Macy was staring at and noticed the guy with the three boys.
"Well isn't he a delicious piece of pie, a little older but experience is always a plus."
"Well you're right on that, he's definitely good."
"Wait...what?" Macy pulled Breanna over to the corner out of sight.
"You know him or something?"
"Yeah, there is some history there. Not long but it was impactful. It was about thirteen years ago almost. Fast love and heartbreak at the end."
"What happened?"
"Well you know how my uncle is Bill Goldberg right?"
"Yeah, I remember you saying that."
"Well, back in 03' I was working for the company when Bill helped me get in and I met him. Shane McMahon, he was separated from his wife at the time and we had this connection. The sex was amazing and the feelings were real. But it was a bad turn of events for both of us that caused us to part ways. I haven't seen or heard from him in twelve years. Breanna I don't know if I can see him. I wouldn't know what to say."
"What if he does all the talking?"
"Well this would be easier if he didn't get even better looking."
"Macy just go, you can do it."
"But he's here with his sons, maybe it's not the best time."
"Yeah, like you'll run into him again. Would you just go."
"Okay fine I'm going. Jesus Christ you are something else."
"I know, it's called being your best friend."
"I hate you."
"I love you too." She couldn't help but laugh at how nervous Macy was.
Macy started to walk over to where he was. She noticed he was getting a phone call. He instructed his older son to watch his brothers while he took the phone call. The moment that Macy thought she had to walk over there at her own pace and plan this in her head in the short time she had got even shorter as now he was coming her way. This is assuming he would recognize her. He was walking and talking on his phone when he looked up for a second so he knew where he was going when he spotted her coming his direction. He about dropped his phone.
"Stephanie I really need to call you back I'm sorry." Without giving his sister a chance to respond he hung up and approached the familiar beauty in front of him. "Macy, is that really you?"
"Hi Shane, how are you?"
"I'm really good actually, just having a day out with my sons. I can't believe you're standing in front of me right now."
"Believe me it was a shock when I saw you, you look really good Shane."
"Well I can definitely say the same about you. You changed your hair color a little but I see you still like it long."
"Yeah, I thought i would try a nice mellow red tone."
"You look so beautiful Macy."
Macy started to blush. "Shane don't you think it might be weird if your sons saw you talking to another woman? Wouldn't they say something to Marissa? I heard you worked things out with her. I'm really glad that our parting ways was well utilized. They're beautiful boys Shane. The little one sure does look like you."
"Yeah, I get that a lot. That's Rogan, Kenyan is the middle one and Declan is well..."
"Yeah, you're oldest. So where is Marissa?"
"You didn't hear did you?"
"Oh please tell me you guys didn't separate again. Those three handsome boys should be motivation to stick together."
"We did, she was murdered back in 14'."
"What? What happened?"
"She was very much at the wrong place at the wrong time."
"Oh sweetheart I am so sorry."
"I know, but things are better now. The boys are moving forward and I make sure they get twice the love. She loved them very much."
"Oh my goodness, I can't believe that. Poor things, I'm just glad they have you as a father. It took me a second to recognize you but before I did I could see the love you have for them."
"Recognize me huh? Do I look that old? I mean my grey was coming in when we met."
"It's been twelve years Shane, don't be silly."
"You always told me that, don't be silly. Actually that's what you were telling when..."
Macy knew what he was talking about. It was engraved in her memory that night. Except for the part of who it was. He had a mask on and dark clothing. No way of knowing. They kept his DNA on file but nothing still turned up after all these years which was weird cause she figured he would offend again. Shane put a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up."
"No it's okay, it's good to talk about it. I've come to terms, it gets easier by the day. I really am doing well."
"So what are you doing these days?"
"I work in advertising, it's wonderful."
"Wow, that is great. That sounds like something you would be good at."
"Thank you."
"So where you do you work at?"
"Oh it's just down the street a few blocks. I was actually just on my lunch break with my co-worker." Breanna approached them and shook hands as Macy introduced them.
"Dad, we have to go to our doctor appointments remember?"
"Oh shoot, yeah son one second. Take care of your trash and come here okay?"
"You gotta go?"
"Yeah, just some check ups. Macy it was really great bumping into you. Maybe I'll see you around?"
"Yeah, we live in the same city now so..." He hugged her and they went on their separate ways. Breanna asked all sorts of questions on the way back to work.
