WWE: Three Wrestlers and a Baby ~BOOK ONE~

History Showstopper

The show was already starting by the time we got there. Alex had fallen on the way out to the limo as we were leaving the hotel, and I had to make sure that he got ice put on right away. It was a good twenty minutes before we were finally able to leave.

I carried him into the building as his tears finally started drying. “Are you feeling better Alex?”

I felt him nod against my shoulder. My purse and my gym bag hung on one shoulder as Alex rested against the other. “That’s good.”

I had adjusted him on my shoulder as I neared the women’s locker room, when I heard my name being called from behind me. I turned around to see Vince McMahon walking towards me.

“Yes sir?”

“Gem you’re late. You have match coming up in about fifteen minutes. Do you think you can be ready?”

I nodded. “Yes sir.”

“Good. We don’t need any screw-ups tonight, especially from you.” He looked at Alex who was resting on my shoulder. “You’re gonna need to find someone to take care of him. You know he’s only going to get in the way of you working here.” He turned around and walked back down the hallway where he came from.

I know Alex needed someone to watch him, but he doesn’t have a father like he should. Plus, Alex loves coming to the shows.

I marched into the women’s locker room and the Bella twins were both standing in there staring up at the television near the sofa. They turned around and smiled at me and Alex as we walked in.

I sat Alex down on the bench as I looked at his head again. There was a small bump, but it wasn’t serious at least. “Are you feeling okay Alex?”

He nodded slowly at me as he wiped his eyes.

“What happened?” I heard one of the twins behind me, and I could feel them both standing a few feet back.

I looked back at them with a reassuring smile on my face. “He’s okay. He just fell as we were on our way here. I needed to get him some ice to put on his head, that’s why I was late.”

Nicki turned her attention back towards the television. Brie stepped over to us. “When is your match tonight?”

“Uh,” I grabbed my phone out and checked the time. “In about ten minutes. Why?”

She smiled at me. “Well, you’re gonna need someone to watch Alex for you, right?”

I chuckled. “Yeah.”

“I can do that for you. Our match isn’t until later on tonight, so we can sit with him!”

I smiled. “That would be really great.” I turned back to Alex. “Alex, how would you like it if the Bella twins looked after you while mommy went out to do her match?”

Alex smiled. “I like dem,” he said softly.

Brie chuckled. “Alex, do you wanna go get some juice?” I watched as Alex nodded. “Alright Gem, I’ll take him to get a drink while you get ready and everything.”

“Thank you so much Brie.” I gave her a quick hug as I emptied out my gym bag. I got dressed quickly and ran out to the backstage area.

“Gem, we’re looking at about 3 minutes until you go out.” I nodded at the stage manager.

I waited patiently as John Cena ran up to me from behind. “Hey there.”

“Hey, what are you doing up here?”

“I’m here to watch your match. Remember?”

My mind couldn’t process what match was happening tonight. I really couldn’t remember. “Could you please tell me what’s going on again?”

He shook his head and laughed. “Good one Gem.”

I laughed along with him, pretending it was a joke. But really, I couldn’t’ remember what was going on tonight. My music started up, and I waited a few seconds before I went out.

John grabbed my hand as we walked out together. The crowd cheered loudly as I blew my regular kisses and saluted with my “boyfriend.”

We ran down to the ring together and we slid under the bottom rope. I jumped up and down, feeling the excitement run through my body. John picked me up and threw me on top of his shoulders. He showed me off to the crowd as I pointed towards them.

“John, I want you to flip me backwards in about ten seconds,” I said into his ears.

I wasn’t sure if he would do it or not, but then he adjusted me to where he could flip me by my feet. I back flipped back down onto the mat in the middle of the ring and the crowd enjoyed seeing that.

Just then Randy’s music started playing. Why was Randy coming out here? But then I remembered, I had challenged him to a match on the last show…and now I have to fight him.

Randy made his way down to the ring and climbed into the ring slowly. He had the title belt over his shoulder and the gleam caught my eye. He held a microphone in his hand, and he slowly brought it up to his mouth.

“Gem, I know last week you said that you could kick my ass. But right now, I’m giving you an opportunity to back out of this fight before you really get hurt. I mean, is that really what you want? To get hurt?”

I scoffed as John handed me a microphone from outside the ring. “Why would I back down from the fight? I’m not scared of you!”

He stepped up to me and I looked straight up into his face. We were practically touching each other. “Alright Gem, you had your chance.” He threw the microphone aside and RKO’ed me. My face hit against the mat hard, and I couldn’t move. Randy was slowly walking out of the ring. He picked the microphone back up. “You should’ve backed down when you had the chance Gem!” He walked back up the ramp as I laid there.

John was by my side, and he was trying to help me up. It took a good ten minutes before I was finally able to get up. I can’t believe I had been hit that hard. The crowd cheered as I started walking up the ramp. But then something happened that had never happened before in the history of all the live events. The power went out in the entire arena.

There were screams coming from everywhere and there were things falling in back. But there was only one thing on my mind: Alex.

I continued up the ramp, and I eventually went into a run. “Alex!” Was all I kept screaming. I couldn’t see where I was going. The lights suddenly came back on, and I looked up at them. I ran straight into a wall.

I sat up almost immediately after I had fallen, and I realized that I was in the back hallway near the men’s locker room. I needed to get to the women’s locker room. I stood up wearily, and I started sprinting in a random direction. I couldn’t tell if I was headed for the women’s locker room or not. But I rounded a corner and saw the locker room door just down the hallway.

Both of the Bella twins were laying on the ground. They were rolling around, trying to get up.

“Brie! Nicki!” I ran over to them and got down on my knees, trying to make sure they were okay. “What happened?!”

Brie was clutching onto her stomach, and Nicki had blood coming from her nose. Brie looked over at me. “There were a bunch of guys. They came in the locker room and grabbed Eve from the shower, and then they knocked us down. Alex ran as they chased us down.” Brie continued to hug her stomach.

I got up on my feet and started running around the entire backstage area, screaming my son’s name. There were tears streaming down my face, and I was starting to run blindly.

Finally I fell to my knees. The tears poured out of my eyes as I continued screaming for my son. I couldn’t see who was behind me, but he grabbed me and pulled me close. I couldn’t help but start bawling into his shirt. I stayed there as he held me.
