Two Weeks Later
"Hi grandma." Gracie said softy as they came into the house with her bag.
"Hey there sweet pea." Holly said. "Why the sad face?"
"Mommy and Daddy are going away." Gracie said. "I no want them to go."
"I know you don't but they have lot of work to do and they're going to be traveling very far." Holly said.
"To the other side of the world." Seth said. "Remember on the map."
"No go." Gracie said tears bursting from her eyes.
"Come here." Becky said picking her up and moving to sit in the couch. "I know it's hard being away from daddy and I, I have a hard time being away from you."
"You do?" Gracie asked.
"Of course I do." Becky said. "And I know it's hard to be apart but sometimes we have to be but we'll always come back to you."
"Always?" Gracie asked.
"Yes, you are our baby." Becky said.
Gracie smiled and hugged Becky.
"So now I need you to be a brave girl and be good for your grandparents and help take care of Kevin, you know he can be such a handful." Becky said.
"Never a dole moment." Seth said handing her, her juice bottle.
"Daddy." Gracie giggled.
"So we have eight sleeps to be apart and then Joshy is going to come pick you up from here and bring you to New York and then we're going to fly to France, Germany, Scotland and England before we fly to Ireland and you meet my family." Becky said.
"Grandma Nette." Gracie said.
"Yes and Grandpa Ken and Uncle Rich." Becky said. "They are looking forward to meeting you and we get to pick out the food and cake for the wedding."
"Chocolate." Gracie said.
"Maybe." Both said smiling.
After many more hugs and kissed they finally headed towards the airport.
"You'll be okay." Seth said. "Eight sleeps."
Becky smiled and squeezed his hand.
"Having fun?" Becky asked Rhea as she came into the back stage area of the venue they were at tonight.
"A little." Rhea smiled as Sarah and Ruby came limping into the back.
Becky just smirked and walked her back to the locker room.
"Where is the rugrat?" Rhea asked.
"She's back in Iowa with Seth's family since he and I are going to Saudi Arabia." Becky said.
"Awe." Rhea said. "That's cool that they invited you."
"I agree." Becky said.
"So what is the plan for Raw?" Bianca asked.
"I am not sure, we won't know until tomorrow, but we have a meeting with everyone at eleven so make sure you are at the arena." Becky said.
"They still trying to change their team?" Rhea askes.
"I think so." Becky said.
"Cowards." Bianca said.
"Let's not worry about it, you ladies did amazing tonight and we'll handle whatever they throw at us." Becky said. "I'll see you in St. Louis."
After some goodbyes Becky headed out to where Seth was waiting.
"Ready?" He asked.
"Yes, to St. Louis." Becky said.
Seth nodded and they hit the road for the three hour drive.
"Okay ladies let's sit." Stephanie said walking in with Sasha, Bayley and their team. Becky was already sitting with her team showing them pictures of Gracie making brownies with Holly.
"So as you know Sasha and Bayley have requested to alter their team." Stephanie said.

"Wasn't that vetoed?" Charlotte said.
"It was, however they have requested to bring in a sixth member." Stephanie said.
"They have have they." Becky said irratated. "I thought we were already enough with seven members each, now they want to go nine and then what ten, eleven until they get all three of the horsewomen in their team,"
Both Bayley and Sasha looked shocked.
"I am not stupid." Becky said. "I know your first plan was to boot Sarah, Mandy and Ruby to bring them in and when that failed you went with plan b to try and convince everyone more people were needed on your team, but the teams are big enough as is. You picked your team and we picked our. It is not our fault you went with the two main rosters and didn't look at NXT or NXT UK. You're so sure you're better then us then use who you have and prove it." Becky said.
"Management would agree." Stephanie said. "Your teams are set and there will be no more changes and if you try to go the injury route then we will be forced to cancel the match and we're all looking forward to seeing what you can do with the people you have and note this, if the match is cancelled because things go this route then we will look else wear for future title shots."
"You're still considering our requests for rematches right?" Sasha said.
"No decision will be reached until after Survivor Series." Stephanie said.
"You wanna know what I find so damn irritating, last year after Ronda cost me, me Smackdown championship at TLC the next night you and your family come out and tell us things are changing, there will be no more automatic rematches, so I had to earn the right to go after the titles that was stolen from me. A title I made the most talk about in the whole industry, but I didn't whine or complain, I didn't put in request after request to demand a rematch, no I went out there and I earned it. Even when Lacey cost me, me Smackdown title at Money in the Bank, I was pissed but I didn't demand a rematch or any of that crap, I moved on. But your family seems to love making me defend against the same people over and over. First it was Charlotte, then it was Lacey three times, now it will be Sasha three times. I beat her, unteather me from her and let me take on the next opponent." Becky said.
"We'll take it all into consideration." Stephanie said. "For now the teams for Survivor Series are set, you and Naomi are going to Saudi Arabia to wrestle and then when we come back we will set the scene for Survivor Series as we head into our Euro tour. So tonight we will see Rhea, Xia and Bianca set to go against Mandy, Sonya and Ruby."
"We're ready mate." Rhea said cracking her knuckles smirking.
"Very good." Stephanie said.
Becky and her team headed back to the main locker room with the other women wrestlers while Sasha, Bayley and their team used an alternative one.
"What is there issue?" Rhea asked. "They are taking everything so personal."
"Honestly I think it's jealousy." Lexi said. "The last few years have been about Becky's rise to the top."
"But don't they see how we can fallow in her path and get to the big times like she is?" Xia asked.

"I'm afraid they've gone down the rabbit whole." Nikki said.
"Huh" Xia said.
"It means their a little lost in character, where they don't know where the character stops and the real them begins." Charlotte said.
"Awe." Xia said.
"But you two feuded and are still best friends." Bianca said.
"We are." Becky said. "Because we know in that ring or the promo or skits we do are work, once the cameras are off the character is off. I get Sasha has been through a lot and it wasn't her doing. It was the toxicity of Twitter that did it."
"And that toxicity has spilled over to Bayley and it looks like more of their team as well." Charlotte said.
"I hope one day the fog they are in lifts and we get the real Sasha and Bayley back because those girls are amazing and great to work with, as they are now it is not fun." Becky said.
"I wonder if the pressure to be in Raw, to Iive up to the level that Raw has got to them too." Naomi said.
"But you girls have been in Raw." Rhea said.
"Many of us started on Smackdown, Charlotte joined us later but Smackdown was so different from Raw. We only started with six girls." Becky said.
"Only six?" Bianca said.
"Myself, Naomi, Lexi, Natty, Carmella and Eve Marie who was only there like a month before Nikki Bella replaced her." Becky said. "Smackdown was basically starting over from scratch and we had room to grow with it, where here on Raw it was hop on this train is already in motion."
"Awe." Rhea said.
"Being there helped prepare me for when I came to Raw." Lexi said. "Becky is an awesome locker room leader and always has been. I remember when I main rostered I was so worried because I hadn't really worked out who I was yet but she listened as I went through all my worries and then she talked everything over with me and told me if I was going to be the heel then I need to commit to it and she's played the face to my heel and we did that."
"You have to trust who you're in the ring with, right now I don't trust them and I am not sure if any of us can." Becky said. "So for now we have to eat ch each other's backs and be careful, Sasha while a good wrestle is a dirty wrestlers as are some of the other girls."
"We have to be sisters in that ring and back stage." Charlotte said.
Everyone agreed and they got ready for the night.
"Mommy." Gracie said as Becky answered the video call on the iPad.
"Hello my luv, how was your day?" Becky asked.
"Great." Gracie said. "I picked apples."
"Awesome." Becky said.
"I miss you." Gracie said.
"And I miss you." Becky said.
"What about Daddy?" Seth asked walking up.
"Daddy." Gracie said. "I miss you too."
"You being a good girl?" Seth asked sitting down next to Becky.
"Always." Gracie said. "How many more sleeps?"
"A handful still but it's getting down." Becky said. "We're flying to Saudi Arabia tonight."
"So far." Gracie said.
"It is and that is why daddy recorded all those storytimes since we're going to be in very different time zones, he can still read you to sleep." Becky said.
"I sleepy now." Gracie said yawning.
"And I brought your favorite book." Seth said holding up the pink princess book.
Holly helped her get in bed and set the tablet up Seth read her her story and Becky watched Gracie fall asleep.
"The end." Seth said.
"She's out." Holly said.
"Thanks mom." Seth said. "Give her a kiss from us."
"I will." Holly said. "Let me know when you've landed there."
"Will do." Seth said.
After hanging up Becky laid her head on his shoulder.
"It's so hard." Becky said softly.
"I know." Seth said. "It's hard to think months ago my biggest worry was missing you when I was over there, but now."
"I'm with you, but our baby girl is not." Becky said.
"Crazy world right?" Seth said.
"Very crazy." Becky said. "We got each other and we'll make it through."
"We will." Seth said. "We're stronger together."
"We are." Becky said. "I should go, three of my girls are up soon."
"Have fun." Seth said.
Becky smiled and kissed him before heading to the gorilla.
"How's Gracie?" Charlotte asked.
"Sleeping soundly." Becky said. "You ladies ready to kick ass?"
They nodded and saw the other team already in the ring while the crowd booed.
"You ready?" Becky asked the others.
"We are." Xia said.
Becky's music hit and she walked out fallowed by Charlotte, Alexa and Nikki. Then Xia's music hit, fallowed by Bianca and lastly Rhea's. After that they walked to the ring. As they came down the other girls were running their mouths and Becky smirked. After showing off her title she stood on the outside with Charlotte, Alexa and Nikki as the match got underway. She watched how the girls performed and worked together. She also watched the other girls trying to figure them out. Rhea, Xia and Bianca were knew to them and it watching them try to get ahead of them but between her, Lexi, Nikki and Charlotte they were able to call out different things to the girls in the ring and they kept switching up.
"We're pissing them off." Charlotte said.
"I know." Becky smirked. "Lexi, Nikki moved to the corners, just watching the girls."
Both nodded and moved to the corner and you could see the girls on the other side take notice and Becky smiled.
"Make her fly." Becky told Rhea who tagged in and she smiled picking Ruby up and tossing her out of the ring at the girls on the other side who were knocked over.
Nikki and Alexa moved back to their corner as the others picked themselves up.
"End it." Charlotte said and Rhea nodded and slammed Ruby into the mat as she crawled back inside while her team was still trying to collect themselves and got the three count.
The other girls climbed into the ring and celebrated with the winners and then went back stage.
"You girls go shower and we'll go over everything after." Becky said. "But great job out there."
"More then great." Charlotte said.
"We'll walk them back." Lexi said and Becky nodded as they left and she walked over to Stephanie.
"You two can play mind games with the best of them." Stephanie said.
"Lexi and Nikki helped but it was fun." Becky said. "Rhea, Xia and Bianca are good and I like helping them showcase it."
"So while you are in Saudi Arabia I am going to pair each girl with Charlotte, Nikki and Lexi while in the live events." Stephanie said.
"Put Rhea with Lexi, I know Lexi has a not so good history with Sasha and I'd hate for anything to happen and I know Rhea will have Lexi's back." Charlotte said.
"Okay." Stephanie said. "Bianca and Nikki and you with Xia."
"It works." Charlotte said. "Carmella has been working well with heron lives."
"Yes and we'll keep that going." Stephane said. "Are you ready to Crown Jewel?"
"I am." Becky said. "Naomi is as well."
"Okay, it's going to be a pack tripped so make sure you sleep." Stephanie said.
"Will do." Becky said.
"The girl could sleep through a concert if her body says sleep." Charlotte said.
After going over the live event plans and what happened in the ring Becky said goodbye to all and headed out to find Seth.
"Just talk to her." Bayley said. "This isn't Sasha fault, she shouldn't be the bad guy."
"She's done nothing but be the bad guy since she came back." Seth said. "She did a chair shot to Becky's head."
"She said it was approved by creative." Bayley said.
"Well she lied." Seth said. "Becky suffered a mild concussion. It's not just us anymore Bayley. Gracie is with us now."
"If she wants to play mommy have her retire, it's not fair that Sasha is being refused the title."
"She is being denied the title because she hasn't beaten Becky for it." Seth said. "Becky has earned all she's gotten and you know it. She put the work in making the divisions what they should be while you and Sasha where having your issues and bringing the women's tag titles in. Becky is the reason the women are main eventing and doing things they've never done before."
"No one else can do anything because she is the only one being considered for anything." Sasha said coming up. "I put my time in, I've earned the right to make history."
"So has she." Seth said. "When you came up from NXT you were given everything and you know it. Becky was an after thought but not no more. She's earned all she's gotten, she earned her main events, her titles and her history. Just because you feel it should be yours doesn't mean you get it. There is a reason Becky is the face of WWE and it's because she is the one breaking glass ceilings, making history and doing it without crying about losing or continuously beating her head on the same wall. The veterans respect her because she fights fairly and win or lose she keeps fighting. Those in the locker rooms respect her because she fights fairly and win or lose she keeps fighting. She goes out of her way to help those who ask, she does all WWE asks of her and does it without a second thought, questioning it or complaining about money."
"We've all had to take different paths." Sasha said.
"You're right we have." Becky said making her presents known. "But it's what you make of the path given that matters. You choose to rely on the character you created instead of being the real you. You both have bitten into your own hype but the fact is things don't work unless we work together. Charlotte and I can be bitter rivals on screen but we're best friends in real life. We understand the difference between the two and you two have made work real life and that is why people are hating on you. It's not because I am the face of the company, it's your own doing. I've taken nothing from no one, I've earned it all and no one can say other wise."
"I was telling them that." Seth said.
"I heard." Becky said.
"I get you want to be loyal to Sasha, but we were friends too and then you took a steel chair to me to prove some sick loyalty to her and I lived with it, you made your choice. Sasha came back with the idea that my life should be hers as both a storyline and reality but that is not true." Becky said. "Out of all of us four girls I was the one that was written off and made to look like most likely to fail, but the thing is others may have felt that was my path but I forged a new one with my hard work. I put in the hours, the sweat, blood and tears. I know what happened with Paige sucks, you forget I have known her since she was thirteen. Learning she could never wrestle again hurt me because I knew this was her life. I know the world blamed you but it was an accident and it wasn't the first accident to happen to Paige. What happens sucks all around for both sides, Paige for having to give up her life and you for feeling you caused it and having them dumb arses on Twitter make you feel like crap. You've allowed the pain and anger to consume you and blind you from what is real and what isn't. You've made things so personal that your own fans sent Seth death threats. What happened to you happened to him and he wasn't even involved in the storyline. You can say creative approved this or that but they didn't. If they would've I would've been told because that is how it works. I get your lost in the anger still feeling angry because you were blamed, feeling angry because you fought to bring the tag titles in and only held them for so long, angry that the machine rolled on without you, angry that I am the face of WWE when you feel like you're the one who should be the face because your you and you feel like you're more athletic then me, more charismatic, stronger, faster and all that, but you stopped putting in the work and I who have always put in the work finally found my footing and I raised the bar for both divisions, I made the women the most must see and brought our revolution back to the forefront. You're even angry that I am standing up for myself because back in NXT I didn't really, but I changed, I am a stronger person and I am no longer afraid. As for you Bayley I don't know what to think of you anymore. But if this is your path I wish you both luck and hope you enjoy the lonely road you're walking. We need to get going we have a twenty plus hour flight."
Seth nodded taking Becky's hand and leading her away from the two ladies who didn't know what to say.
