"Hi Grandma." Gracie said hugging Holly.
"Hello sweet pea." Holly said. "How are you feeling?"
"Like a Cloudy sky." Gracie said making Holly look at her oddly.
"Translation?" Holly asked Seth.
"A cloudy sky?" Seth said.
"It means she's had a very long week and battling this cold has left her a little gloomy, so she doesn't know if she wants to rain or clear up and let the sun shine." Becky said scooping her up.
"I'm sorry to hear you're sick." Holly said.
"Mommy said I cannot help cook since we don't want to share my cold with anyone." Gracie said.
"That's okay." Holly said. "I got some decorations to put out and you can help with those."
"I can." Gracie said.
"Why don't I help carry things in and you two can see what all mom needs." Seth said.
Becky nodded and they walked into the kitchen and he went to help carry things in.
Once things were going Gracie found her way onto Seth's lap.
"You feel sleepy?" Seth asked.
"A little, mommy gave me some medicine." Gracie said.
Seth smiled and covered her with the throw off the back of the couch. Seth smiled as she ended up falling asleep on him.
"Still blows me away." Brandon said.
"I know." Seth said. "I have a kid."
"You do." Brandon said. "Any plans to expand more?"
"We're thinking on it." Seth said. "Bex wants to get back to Mania and then we'll see."
"Going to main event again?" Brandon asked.
"Going to try." Becky said. "Hard part is trying to get the fans hooked into a storyline that can bring us there. Right now everyone is looking at the road to WrestleMania the same, how do we get that top booking."
"True." Seth said. "Right now you don't have a strong division."
"We don't." Becky said. "We took all these steps forward and now it feels like we're going backwards again."
"What can be done to change it?" Josh asked.
"Well hopefully after this move to Fox and the draft we can start building the division stronger, but I firmly believe we have to remove the term women." Becky said.
"Like no more women's division?" Brandon asked.
"No." Becky said. "When we go to the ring to wrestle it's always announced as a Women's Division match, where as when the guys go to wrestle it's just a match, we need to stop labeling things, stop going this is the top women's spot, this is the women's main event and just start having men and women on the same footing, let us put on a show, be the superstars we are."
"She's right." Seth said. "We need all the women to have great characters, storylines and matches."
"We do." Becky said. "We've made all this history but enough of it already, let's just put on good shows, get the people invested and have fun."
"I see your point." Brandon said. "So if the women have three matches on a show that are giving the audience what they need and want let them have it."

"Yes, be it one match, ten or none." Becky said. "We're proven we can step up and fight, so let us keep doing that, stop labeling us and putting us in this box."
"Time to break the box." Seth said.
"It is." Becky said.
"How does that look?" Gracie asked.
"Beautiful." Becky said seeing how Gracie put out the thanksgiving decorations.
"Mommy?" Gracie asked.
"Yes?" Becky said putting the last of the silverware down.
"What are you thankful for?" Gracie asked.
"I am thankful for so much." Becky said picking her up and moving to sit down by Seth. "I am thankful for your daddy, for falling in love with him, for finding you and adopting you, I am thankful for my job which allows me to do what I love and reach so many people. I am thankful for our family including the dogs and Daryl."
"Wow." Gracie said.
"I am also thankful the Bears are beating the Lions because you are daddy when they lose are not happy." Becky said making everyone chuckle. "Most of all I am thankful I get to live this amazing life with you and your daddy and that our future looks amazing and bright."
"I love you mommy." Gracie said.
"I love you." Becky said hugging her.
"What about you daddy?" Gracie asked.
"I am thankful for so much." Seth said. "When I started this year I had no clue what was in store for me. Connecting with your mommy on a deeper level, to her opening me to what my life could be. I had never saw the other half of my life until I fell in love with her."
"Wow." Gracie said.
"Wow is right." Seth said. "Your mommy changed everything and now I have so much more to be thankful for."
"Me?" Gracie asked.
"Yes." Seth said. "Next to your mommy you are one I am most thankful for. You've changed my heart so much. I never knew I could love like this, but you showed me I could."
He saw the tears fall from her eyes and gently wiped them away.
"I love you." He said.
"I love you." She said hugging him as Becky joined their hug.
"I think she's out." Becky said.
"She is." Seth said looking down at Gracie who was asleep on his chest. "She's changed our world."
"She has." Becky said. "She's made us stronger."
Seth nodded and she leaned over and kissed him softly.
"This looks amazing." Becky said seeing all the food.
"Thank you." Holly said.
"Is it time to eat?" Gracie asked coming in.
"It is." Holly said. "Is the game over?"
"Yes, the Bears smashed the Lions again." Gracie said.
"Then go tell them men it time to eat." Holly said and Gracie ran to the living room.
As they gathered around the table they sat. After they dished up everyone went out saying what they were grateful for.
"My tummy is so full." Gracie said.
"You tried everything." Seth said.
"Everything was so good except the meats." Gracie said. "I think I will stick to plants like mommy."
"Okay." Seth said.
"What time is your flight?" Holly asked.
"Nine." Seth said. "We'll get there around midnight."
"Mommy is going to open Smackdown on Fox." Gracie said.
"Wow." Holly said.
"They are still working in details but yeah should be fun." Becky said.

"Will you be cleared medically?" Holly asked.
"Yes." Becky said. "I feel great ready to go."
"We worked out this morning, mommy is a machine." Gracie said.
"She is." Seth said as they laughed.
"Since your mom cooked and Gracie and I helped you men get clean up." Becky said.
They nodded and got to work and Gracie played with Holly while Becky got their bags loaded in the car.
"Mommy I sleepy." Gracie said as they drove to the arena.
"You can nap once we're at the arena." Becky said.
"Okay." Gracie said.
Their flight had been delayed and they had been stuck tarmac for four hours so they didn't get in until early morning and Gracie didn't sleep well at all with two screaming babies on the flight too.
When they reached the arena they got in and found their dressing room.
"Morning." Stephanie said coming in.
"Humph." Gracie said.
"Sorry she's in a mood our flight was delayed and their were two screaming babies on board." Becky said.
"That sucks." Stephanie said.
"You ready to nap?" Becky asked.
"To loud." Gracie said.
Becky pulled out her noise cancelling headphones and slipped them on and Gracie fell asleep wrapped in her blanket.
"She has a slight cold on top of all this." Becky said. "She's exhausted."
"I understand." Stephanie said. "So if medical clears you, you'll open the show with The Rock, he asked to work with you."
"Really?" Becky said.
"Yes." Stephanie said. "He'll be by later to go over what he wants to do, after that you'll team with Charlotte for one last match up between Sasha and Bayley."
"Okay." Becky said.
After Stephanie left Becky sat down and watched Gracie sleeping.
"Hey." Seth said softly. "You look exhausted."
"I am." Becky said softly. "But what's new."
He smiled and sat down next to her.
"I have a match against Shinsuke." He said. "You?"
"I am teaming with Charlotte against Sasha and Bayley after opening the show with Dwayne." Becky said.
"The Man and The Rock." Seth said making Becky smile.
"Yep." Becky said.
"How long has she been out?" He asked.
"About twenty minutes." Becky said. "She was getting cranky."
"I don't blame her." Seth said. "It was a long night."
"It was." Becky said laying her head on his shoulder.
Seth smiled and kissed the side of her head as her eyes fluttered closed.
Waking Becky looked around and saw Gracie curled on Seth sleeping.
"Feel better?" Seth asked.
"Yes." Becky said.
"She saw you sleeping on me and insisted she needed to sleep on me too." Seth said. "I don't mind."
"Of course you don't." Becky said leaning over and kissing him.
"Mommy." Gracie said seeing her.
"Hello my little love." Becky said. "Did you use daddy as a pillow too?"
"Yep." Gracie said. "He's the best daddy."
"He is." Becky said.
"Thank you." Seth said.
"I should go find Dwayne and see what the plan for tonight is." Becky said. "You wanna come?"
"Yes mommy." Gracie said jumping up and grabbing her meeting bag.
"We'll see you in a bit." Becky said.
"Okay, I am going to be in the gym." Seth said.
Becky smiled and kissed him before leaving with Gracie.
"And who is this?" Dwayne asked.
"I'm Gracie Rollins." Gracie said.
"No way." Dwayne said.
"Honest." Gracie said. "Right mommy?"
"Yes baby." Becky said. "This is Dwayne Johnson."
"The Rock." Gracie said.
"That's right." Becky said. "Why don't you climb up in this chair and play in your iPad while we talk."
"Okay." Gracie said putting her bag on the table and pulling out the chair.
"Will you help me up please?" Gracie asked looking up at Dwayne.
"Of course." Dwayne said picking her up and putting her on the chair and helping her scoot in.
"Hey Becky we need you a moment." Stephanie said.
"I got her." Dwayne said.
"Okay, be good baby." Becky said.
"I will mommy." Gracie said.
Becky left and Dwayne sat down and watched her pull out her IPad.
"This is my iPad." Gracie said. "I do school on it and color."
"That's good." Dwayne said as she pulled up a color sheet. "What's this?"
"This is the graph we made to show how much money I have raised." Gracie said.
"You're raising money." Dwayne asked.
"Yes." Gracie and and she told them about the hospital where McKenna was and how she wanted to go back and give the kids still there presents.
"That is amazing." Dwayne said.
"I'm twenty dollars away from my goal." Gracie said.
"What is all this?" Dwayne asked.
"These are donations we got." Gracie said. "Daddy's school is giving me 250 dollars when I reach my goal, then Uncle Josh and daddy are going to match it from the Deadboys. Then here is from Stephanie."
"Wow." Dwayne said.
"The announce team from all the shows and the media crew from wwe gathers five hundred dollars for me too." Gracie said.
"That is good." Dwayne said.
"Thank you." Gracie said. "I asked Santa for a cure to cancer for Christmas, now I know he can't really do that, he works in toys and candy canes, but mommy says we can donate to research for it."
"She's right." Dwayne said. "Do you have a picture of your mom?"
"My mama?" Gracie asked.
"Yes." Dwayne said.
Gracie pulled up a picture and showed him.
"Her name was McKenna, she's my angel now." Gracie said.
"She is beautiful like you." Dwayne said.
"Thank you." Gracie said. "She died right after I found my mommy and daddy."
"I'm sorry for your loss." Dwayne said.
"Thank you." Gracie said. "Finding my mommy and daddy brought her peace. She was worried about me but she knew she didn't have to be."
"She sounds likes a brave person giving you a mommy and daddy." Dwayne said.
"She saw how much mommy loved me before mommy knew she loved me." Gracie said. "And I think I got the best mommy and daddy in the world."
"That's good." Dwayne said.
"Okay I'm back." Becky said. "What are you two talking about."
"How amazing you are." Dwayne said.
"The best." Gracie said.
"She was telling me about the money she is raising." Dwayne said.
"She's been a champion raising money." Becky said.
"I saw." Dwayne said. "So tell you what, let me and your mom talk and this twenty is yours."
He fished a bill out of his pocket.
"Okay." Gracie said digging out her headphone and working in her table.
"She's adorable." Dwayne said as Becky sat down.
"Thanks." Becky said. "She's been a blessing to our lives."
"They change everything." Dwayne said.
"They do." Becky said.
"Sorry I am late." Corbin said coming in.
"You're on time." Dwayne said.
He sat down and they went over the plan for the night and agreed on how things would go.
"Here you go." Dwayne said handing Gracie the bill.
"Thank you." Gracie said waving him down to her level and kissing his cheek.
"You're welcome." Dwayne said. "See you out at the ring."
Becky nodded and he headed out.
"You still rasig money for toys?" Corbin asked.
"This makes my goal." Gracie said.
"That's pretty cool." Corbin said. "And this will put you over one hundred."
He handed her another bill.
"Wow." Gracie said. "Thank you."
"You are very welcome." Corbin said before heading out.
"Look mommy." Gracie said.
"That is a great job baby." Becky said. "You set a goal and not only did you reach it, but you surpassed it."
"Can we go tell daddy?" Gracie asked.
"Let's clean up." Becky said.
Becky took the money while she put her iPad and headphones back in her bag.
"Daddy, daddy." Gracie said running over to him in the gym.
"Whaty, whaty?" Seth said picking her up.
"I did it." Gracie said. "I reached my goal and surpassed it."
"Really?" Seth asked.
"Yes." Gracie said. "I can buy toys for the kids in the hospital now."
"That is great baby, good job." Seth said.
"That's good work Gracie." Roman said.
"The Rock helped me reach the last twenty I needed and King Corbin helped me surpass it." Gracie said.
"That's good." Roman said. "I know the kids are going to be so happy to receive the toys."
"Do you wanna come help me deliver them, you can dress up as Santa, I already have my elf costume." Gracie said.
"Sure." Roman said. "I can play Santa."
"Yay." Gracie said.
"Just get me the details of when and I'll be there." Roman said.
"Will do." Becky said.
"Hi." Gracie said coming into Gorilla to watch Becky go out.
"Hello." Vince said. "You seem very happy."
"I am." Gracie said. "I reached my goal and surpassed it. I can now buy all the kids toys."
"That is great news." Vince said.
"I worked hard." Gracie said. "And it paid off."
"That is how it goes." Vince said.
"That is what daddy says." Gracie said.
"And here is my gift to your cause." Stephanie said handing her a check. "Hunter and I doubled it to one thousand dollars."
"Wow" Gracie said. "Tank you."
She moved forward and hugged her.
"You are welcome." Stephanie said. "We are very pound of how big your heart is, you are a true champion."
"Like mommy and daddy?" Gracie asked.
"Very much so." Stephanie said.
Gracie smiled and moved over to Becky.
"Look mommy." Gracie said.
"This is amazing." Becky said.
Seth came in and scooped Gracie up.
"What's this?" He asked.
"A check from Ms. Stephanie for toys." Gracie said. "She doubled her donation."
"Thst's awesome." Seth said.
"It is." Gracie said.
After Stephanie and Vince opened the show Becky went out fallowed by Corbin and the Rock. Gracie giggled and watched as they beat Corbin up.
"Revenge." Charlotte giggles.
"Mommy always collects her debts." Gracie said.
"She does." Charlotte said. "Time for us to beat up some people."
"Have fun." Gracie said.
Charlotte smiled and went out when cued to and then Bayley and Sasha went out. Charlotte and Becky were on the same side and beat Sasha and Bayley again.
"So we've decided you'll face Roman tonight to determine who will have the number one draft pick." Stephanie said.
"Sounds fun." Seth said.
"I know who should be the number one draft pick." Gracie said.
"Who's that?" Vince asked.
"Mommy." Gracie said.
"I agree." Seth said. "Better win the huh."
"Yes." Gracie said.
