Beauty and The Beast (Brock Lesnar)

Epilogue

          Every since I was a little girl, I have always dreamed of a happily ever after. When you're little, your parents read you the story of Cinderella and if you're like me, you've watched the movie at least a hundred times. My point is, society has drilled the idea of a perfect life into our heads and it's what we expect from an early age. When I met Randy, I was certain that he was my Prince Charming. The magic fairy-tale kingdom had dropped him into my life for a reason, but not for the one that I had imagined.

          It took time but eventually, I realized Randy wasn't the one and he certainly was no Prince Charming. When I filed for divorce, I lost all hope. My life would always consist of Alanna and even though I loved her with all my heart, something was missing. I ignored that feeling for so long, trying to focus on raising her and making sure she had the best life I could possibly give her. I lost all hope in fairy-tales and even when Alanna was younger, I didn't want to read them to her. They were silly and unrealistic, all they would do was get her hopes up and I didn't want her to go through what I did. No woman deserved to be treated in such a way and if I could help it, I was going to make sure that that never happened to my daughter.

          When I came out of retirement, I had no idea that it would change my life forever. I never imagined that I would be working with Brock and I certainly never guessed we would ever be friends. The night he told me he had feelings for me, I added more support beams to the walls that were surrounding my heart. I couldn't physically nor mentally take any more abuse from a man, I just couldn't. And then I saw the way Alanna reacted to him. I watched her grow to love a beast and never once think twice about it. She didn't care what other people thought of him, she had her own opinion and to her, he wasn't a beast. He was just a man whom she had grown to love more and more. As I watched her with him, day after day, those support beams gradually began to fall and so did the walls. I had shielded my heart from hurt for so long, I never once realized that I was also shielding it from love.

          Through the hurt that I endured from Randy, I gained my little angel and through Alanna, I didn't find my Price Charming, I found my Beast.

          The day Heyman knew that Brock and I were a thing was the day everyone else started catching on. Before long Paul and Stephanie knew, then the entire locker room, and even a few tabloids. Surprisingly, the media didn't make a big deal out of it and by the next day, they were back on Miley Cyrus.

          As for the business, Brock and I stayed a tag team and continued as professional coworkers. In the long run, we keep the titles for a year before taking a little vacation from WWE and for a good reason too. At the start of fall the next year, Brock and I were married. Yes, you heard me, that's what I said.

         After dating for multiple months, Brock mentioned marriage to me on a ride through the trails. He asked if I would ever be open to getting married one day and when I said yes, he told me to look in Heaven's mane. There was a ring in her braid and the rest is history...

          The wedding was held at the farm with only our closest family and friends. Brock's parents, siblings, and their families attended as well as my parents. Paul, Stephanie, Vince, and Heyman flew in for the occasion. Stephanie and Brandi acted as my bridesmaids, Alanna as the flower girl, and Brock's brothers as his groomsmen. It was simple and to the point, but at the same time beautiful. Heaven and Renegade were also part of the occasion, as they were our exit plan. I mean, you really didn't think we would leave them out, did you?

          Afterwards, we went on our honeymoon but it certainly wasn't traditional. Alanna accompanied us, since it was her fall break. We didn't go on a cruise or visit some exotic island. Nope, not us, we went to Canada and stayed in a cabin. Yes, Canada. Brock had always been fond of it there but I had never visited on personal time, just when work required me to be. It was peaceful there and we enjoyed our family time. I know most people wouldn't like the fact that Alanna went with us, but I couldn't think of any better way to spend our first few days of marriage. I had been through this once before and so had Brock. The idea of a honeymoon was a little overrated to us and at that time, we just wanted to be together, all of us.

          Brock and I took that month off and enjoyed the one-on-one time with Alanna. Now that we were moved in to his house, Alanna had the horses to keep her occupied and by the following year, she had won just over twenty competitions with Willow and had won the Pre-Teen Riding Championship for her age group. I was one proud momma that day as all her hard work and responsibility paid off. It seemed like Brock and I were always at the barn with her, trying to get her to come inside and do her homework or eat supper. She always wanted to be the horses and from then on, I knew her and Willow's bond was unbreakable. As for Surprise, she wasn't quite old enough to be entered into competitions but Alanna was training her anyway. She told me one day that that horse was as stubborn as she was and it was gonna take a lot of practice to get her to mind. I couldn't help but laugh, knowing that poor Alanna had finally met her match.

          Alanna loved those horses, more than words could ever describe but there was one thing that she loved even more and that was her siblings. About a year after Brock and I were married, we gained custody of Mya, Brock's eldest child, and partial custody of his sons, Turk and Duke. That following year, I realized that I wasn't getting any younger and we both decided it was time to try for our own. By the spring, Alanna's younger sister Natalie was born and that following year, her brother, Ajay.

          Mya just turned sixteen and even though she's in the teenage years, she's well-behaved and doesn't give us a lot of trouble. She has her heart set on being a pediatrician and I know that one day, she will be. Alanna's eleven and no matter how old she gets, she's still the apple of Brock's eye. They've had an unexplainable bond since the day they met and even now, that hasn't changed. Sometimes I have to laugh at her, she knows that she may not get everything she wants out of me, but all she has to do is ask daddy and she knows it. She's already told him that she's going to college to be a vet and he'd better be ready to help her open her own office one day and I have no doubt that he will. Turk and Duke are our odd ones. They're your average little boys at nine and ten. Right now, they think they're gonna grow up and be NASCAR drivers, but I'm sure that'll change by tomorrow. Natalie's five and looks up to her big sister. She follows Alanna everywhere she goes and plans on being a champion rider just like her. Now, for the fun part, mommy's little Ajay. He's a mini me at four years old and is definitely a mommy's boy. Brock fusses at me every now and then for babying him, but he's just four... He loves to watch Brock on TV and even tries to suplex his stuffed animals. Every night he watches RAW, he tells me that he's gonna be just like daddy and I'd be lying if I said that didn't worry me a little bit...

          In the end, I guess you could say that I did have my happily ever after. Brock tells Natalie our Beauty and The Beast story every night and when he's away for a show, Alanna insists that she tell her. Of course, I let her and never interrupt. But deep down, I know that I wasn't the beauty in the story, Alanna was. If it weren't for her, I would have never met my beast and I would have never gotten a chance to be his beauty.

                              "For who could ever love a beast?"

                              THE END
