Jekyll and Hyde
A/N: This is the last chapter for this story…sad I know but I have other stories in my head that want out and this one has run its course now. I hope you've all enjoyed it and stay tuned for more WWE fics in the future…though right now I'm stuck on Merlin lol.
NESSAANCALIME6913: Very true. Sadly my brain is currently stuck on a Merlin kick so everything else is falling by the wayside atm.
Sitalia: Vixen is fun. Some parents are awesome…Seth's aren't in my fic. I'm not sharing my plans…that would ruin the surprise lol.
Labinnacslove: Yes, yes she is lol.
Hfward1221: I am honored that you like it so much. I don't see much knife play either in stories and, while it's not my thing, I know several people who love it. One friend is very into knives…the more blood the better for her. I panicked the first time I saw some of her scars but she was so happy and proud about them…and once she explained her kink to me I relaxed and now I just go with the flow. It's really hard to bother me anymore honestly…I've got an A.S. in Crime Scene, I'm about to go for a C.N.A., and I take care of two older women full-time…I've seen or heard a lot of weird shit lol.
Chapter 10 – The End
Their two weeks off had done the Shield wonders and they were all more than ready to hand people their asses. Mox and Vix were feeling especially vicious after what had been done to Thea. The dark looks on their faces as they stalked the halls had wrestlers and crew alike scrambling to get out of the way lest they be caught in the crossfire. Roman kicked in the door to the boiler room where Wyatt and his two cronies liked to hang out and the foursome stormed in, quickly overpowering the trio and began beating the snot out of them…quite literally. The slightly psychotic laughter emanating from that room kept everyone else far away from it as no one who had met Mox or Vix wanted to be anywhere near them when they sounded like that. Seth was taunting Wyatt while Roman just glared as he beat on the men. Vince was informed by a terrified crewmember as to what was happening and allowed a vicious smirk of his own to come in to play. This was why he'd taken a shine to the Shield in the first place, their vicious nature when defending what was theirs. As he left his office Stephanie and Hunter noticed that twisted smirk and followed him out of curiosity, what they saw made them rethink their plans where the Shield was concerned. The Wyatt family was in a broken heap on the floor, bloody, bruised and battered beyond anything either of them had seen before. The Shield stood victorious over them with looks ranging from a harsh glare, to a slightly twisted grin, to full-blown psychotic smirks on the two more unstable members. Stephanie and Hunter quickly backed out and went to her office.
"Hunter…I think…maybe we should leave them alone…if they can be that vicious...Wyatt only gave Amalthea some bruises…can you imagine how those three men would react if someone did worse than that to her?"
"Yeah…I'm trying to picture it in my head…not a pretty image. They work solely for your father now Steph…I think you might be right about leaving them alone. We can't touch their jobs, and touching them is looking more and more like suicide."
"So…now what?"
"Now? Now we think up a new target…"
The two started planning and scheming while Vince stood before his Shield and reveled in their satisfaction. He gave a slow clap and chuckled a bit when Vixen gave him a mocking curtsy.
"Well done Shield. You managed to get your revenge on the Wyatt family…and by allowing my daughter and her husband to follow me I believe they will be leaving you alone now as well."
"Good…but we're far from done with these three. They made a big mistake when they targeted our girl…and they need to be taught a lesson that no one back here will forget anytime soon."
"I agree…which is why I've scheduled a match for the next Pay-per-view event. The Shield and Vixen…versus the Wyatt Family…in a no holds barred, anything goes, Steel Cage Street Fight. It will be decided by Tap-out only, and whoever taps out is out of the fight…the match ends when one team is completely eliminated. I believe street fights are you and Dean's specialty Moxley?"
"Oh yes…this will be fun…"
Vixen turned and gave Mox a deep kiss as she heard the dark promise in his voice. He returned the kiss with more aggression and their teammates rolled their eyes before coughing loudly.
"Guys! We're still here…can you not do that in public?"
"Sorry…can't help it…he's a sexy little beast."
"You know it Princess. Come one…let's go make our little announcement shall we?"
"What announcement?"
"Oh…I suppose we should tell Vince first…Our families already know…"
"Alright…you can tell him Darlin'."
Vince huffed a soft laugh as the nicknames changed and he realized the two had switched personalities during their little conversation.
"Vince…Dean and Mox asked Vix and I to marry them…and we said yes…of course."
"Congratulations, all of you. I couldn't be happier. We'll have to have a party backstage for everyone after the announcement…I'll go make preparations and you four head to the ring."
"Thanks Vince."
Dean and Thea held hands as their music hit and the Shield walked down the ramp for a switch, confusing the fans. They stood in the center of the ring with microphones in hand and smiles on their faces as Thea spoke to their captivated audience.
"Ladies and Gentlemen…we have a few little announcements to make. First of all, as I'm sure you all saw…we got some of our revenge against the Wyatt Family but we're far from done with those three. Mr. McMahon has seen fit to grant us a special match at the next pay-per-view…a Steel Cage Street Fight with no rules…anything goes…and all four of us will be in the cage with the Wyatt's and no one leaves until someone taps out. If someone taps out they are removed from the cage but everyone else remains until one team is fully eliminated."
She paused for a bit to allow the sudden outburst of screaming and chanting to die down a bit before continuing with a happier smile on her face as Dean wrapped his arms around her from behind, his chin resting on her shoulder.
"Our other announcement is that Dean here has asked me to marry him…and I naturally said yes."
"The screams of approval were almost deafening and Thea could not hold back the enormous grin that stretched her lips. Seth was bouncing again but Roman just let him have his excitement for now, he himself had a pretty big grin so he couldn't really fault the little flyer. The crowd had only just settled a bit when Vince's music came on and the man strutted down into the ring.
"Let me be the first to congratulate you on your engagement. I have taken the liberty of arranging a party to celebrate backstage and the rest of the roster is waiting to give their own congratulations to the happy couple."
"Thank you Mr. McMahon."
They left the ring and went backstage where Thea was enveloped into numerous hugs and Dean got a lot of handshakes and claps on the back. They eventually made their way back to each other and proceeded to kiss until they needed to come up for air, ignoring the numerous wolf whistles they earned. Seth was still bouncing around like a Mexican jumping bean so Amalthea wrapped an arm around one of his and held him still for a bit, though he kept twitching with the urge to move which made her giggle.
"I can't help it…I'm excited!"
"I know…but I'm the one who's engaged not you silly."
"So?"
She just rolled her eyes and let him resume his bouncing until Roman got a hold of him, one large hand firmly gripping the back of the smaller male's neck until he stopped moving.
"I know you're excited Baby Boy but you need to settle a bit, you're making me dizzy and you're going to make yourself sick."
"Sorry Ro…I'm just hyper right now."
"I know Baby Boy. Go eat something to help you settle alright?"
"Ok."
Seth bounced over to the table that was laden with food Vince had ordered from a local restaurant who was more than happy to have their business. He had somehow managed to get Amalthea's favorite dessert, Cheesecake, in multiple flavors including chocolate. She had grabbed an entire chocolate cheesecake and curled up in dean's lap with a fork. Dean kept stealing the occasional bite but he mostly just watched her, pleased at how she was damn-near radiating with happiness. Seth and Roman watched in wide-eyed amazement as the tiny woman practically inhaled an entire cheesecake by herself. Daniel just laughed at their facial expressions.
"Clearly you never watched her in the indie circuit Rollins…she could out-eat most of the men. It never failed to amaze all of us how such a tiny little thing could pack away that much food in one sitting…and never gain a damned ounce. God the other women hated her for that."
"Not my fault I have a faster metabolism than they did. I eat what I like."
The party went on throughout that night's episode of Raw, with people popping in and out between matches, and eventually everyone went back to their hotels. The Shield returned to their bus and called several people, putting them all on speakerphone so they could all hear each other. The called Phil and AJ on her phone, Roman called his wife and daughter, Dean called his old buddy from the indies, and Seth just sat back and watched his little family. Eventually they all had to get some sleep and reluctantly ended the calls, Dean seemed the most reluctant as he hadn't talked to Sammy in a long while so Thea intervened.
"Hey, look at me Dean. You'll be able to see him soon. He's at NXT now and we'll be travelling back to Florida soon so you can see him again alright? We all need sleep right now and so does he. Come on to bed with me…"
She put an extra little sway in her hips as she headed to the bedroom, leaving the door open just long enough for Dean to watch her peel off her top and reveal the lacy black bra underneath, earning a low animalistic growl that had Sammy snorting in laughter.
"I uh…I gotta go Sammy…I have a little Vixen to go ravish…"
"Sure thing Mox, talk you ya soon buddy."
Mox ended the call and stalked into the bedroom, ignoring Seth's snickering behind him as he hunted his little hellcat. He closed and locked the door behind him and turned to find her stretched out across the top of the bed in nothing but her lacy little black underwear. The growl rumbling from his throat deepened and she gave him a saucy little smirk.
"Come here Mox…come and show me who I belong to."
Moxley crawled onto the bed and pinned her down before attacking her throat with bites and soothing them with his tongue. The little mewling sounds she made had him pausing for a moment before he continued in a gentler manner, realizing that this was Thea and not Vixen that wanted to play with him. He wouldn't hurt little Thea, she was his little kitten and needed to be treated more gently…but Mox still wanted her as much as he did Vixen. He wasn't as gentle as Dean, he couldn't be, but he still made sure not to hurt Thea badly…just little bites here and there…and smacks to her ass and thighs that left her gasping and clinging to his arms. By the time they were both sated it was almost sunrise and the bus had started driving to the next location…neither of them emerged from the bedroom until sometime after 2 in the afternoon, both flipping Seth off when he snickered behind his hand.
When the pay-per-view came around it was chaos backstage as usual and Vince gave the Shield a skybox again so they could avoid the chaos and keep their heads in the game for their big match. When their music hit they stalked to the ring as a cohesive unit, eyeing the Wyatt Family with barely restrained hatred and fury. Wyatt's sheep backed up a bit as they entered the ring and the cage came down around them, both nervous of the Shield after their previous beat down at their hands and feet. Vixen and Moxley were already out in front, their counterparts giving them full control so they could do what needed to be done. The bell rang and the fighting started as if someone had shot off the first cannon in a war. Vixen and Moxley both went after Wyatt, vicious and relentless in their attacks. Roman and Seth went after the other two, with Seth wearing his opponent down by bouncing around and irritating him. Roman eyed Seth out of the corner of his eye and had to fight back the urge to laugh at his baby boy's chosen tactic while he had chosen the more direct route…a superman punch here, a spear there. He was the first to eliminate his opponent by sitting on his back and pulling his arms back until they made a loud pop and they guy screamed, so Roman let one arm go so he could tap out and he did. Roman moved to help Seth as the first sheep left the cage, being pulled to the back by medics as he held his arms in pain. He had gotten distracted by Moxley and Vixen working together in harmony as they dished out immense pain on Wyatt, and his distraction allowed the other sheep to get Seth into a back-breaker. Seth screamed in agony but refused to tap and Roman gave the sheep a superman punch to make him let go. He and Seth worked together after that and eventually Seth managed to lock in his own submission maneuver and eliminate the other sheep. Wyatt was alone in the cage with 3 angry hounds and their she-wolf. Roman and Seth took one look at their teammate's faces and leaned back on the ropes to let them have Wyatt on their own. Moxley had been taunting Wyatt while Vixen worked him over. The two used everything they could get their hands on to make Wyatt suffer; kendo sticks, trashcan, steel chair, metal bar, a chain, even a dog leash made an appearance as Vixen choked Wyatt with it until he started to turn a bit purple and she let go. Mox and Vix modified his submission maneuver to fit both of them working together and Wyatt tapped out, unable to take any more pain. With the match over the Shield was declared as the winners an they held their fists out In their signature pose as the medics carted a barely conscious Wyatt out of the arena.
Vince met them backstage and congratulated them on a spectacular match. According to the medics Roman's first opponent had suffered dislocated shoulders and a number of nasty bruises. The one he and Seth took out together had a couple of cracked ribs, a mild concussion, and a dislocated knee. As for Wyatt himself…he was much worse off thanks to the combined fury of Moxley and Vixen. He had several broken ribs, even more cracked ribs, a serious concussion, several dislocated joints, a number of very nasty bruises, several hundred small cuts and scrapes, a couple of deeper cuts that would need stitches, and a very sore throat form Vixen's choking.
"Well…maybe now he'll know better than to hurt our girls. Nobody messes with our girls and gets away without pain…nobody."
"I'm not arguing the point Moxley…I quite agree with you actually."
"Good…now that we have that settled…can we go sleep now Mox?"
Thea had come back out now and was leaning heavily on Moxley who gave her a tender smile before sweeping her up into his arms.
"Sure thing Kitten, let's go to bed."
It was a few months later before Wyatt and his sheep returned but they gave the Shield a wide berth when they saw them and made sure to avoid the pack's territory. Thea and Dean had decided to let Vince and Galena plan their wedding, which would be rather small with only their families and closest friends allowed to attend. Vince, Galena, JoJo, Kane, Taker, Daniel, Brie, Nikki, Cena, Paige, Phil, and AJ were all there for the special moment. Vince had actually managed to find an officiate who was willing to alter the ceremony language to fit the couple's unique situation.
"Do you, Dean and Moxley, take these women to be yours from now until forever?"
"We do."
"And do you, Amalthea and Vixen, take these men to be yours from now until forever?"
"We most certainly do."
"Then, by the power vested in me I now pronounce you married. You may now seal your vows with a kiss."
They did exactly that and listened to the cheers of those they cared for most in this world. Dean and Moxley were moved beyond anything they had ever been before with how lucky they truly were. They had the greatest woman in the world and they were now married to her…they had an ever-expanding family of close friends…the only thing that would make it better would be to have a little one of their own to spoil. Dean waited until a few weeks after their honeymoon, which they had flown to Hawaii for at Thea's request, to bring up the subject with her.
"Thea, love?"
"Hmm? What's wrong Dean?"
"Nothing's wrong Darlin'…I just wanted to run an idea by you…"
"Go right ahead."
"I was thinking…I know you can't have any kids of your own…but maybe…we could adopt one or two that come from broken homes…give them a happy home to be loved in…"
He didn't even manage to finish his thought before she was all over him and smothering him with kisses. The beaming smile on her face was answer enough and he kissed her until she was breathless.
"You have…no idea what that means to me…Oh Dean…I've always wanted children of my own…"
"And they will be yours…not in blood, but in every way that matters."
"Let's do it then. I'm ready to pass on the championship anyway so I can do that and then we can take some time off to spend with them. How many are you thinking of adopting anyway?"
"Just…one…maybe two if they have siblings that need a home…I'd hate to separate 'em ya know?"
"I do…it would be horrible for them."
"You wanna go online and see about finding a couple places we can go see some kids then?"
"I'm on it!"
Thea found several places in different states that they visited as the travelled around. She gave Nikki a title shot and Nikki managed to win, and Thea was happy for her. They eventually found what they were searching for at a small place in Vegas run by DCF. There were two young children huddled together in the back of the room, a boy and girl who appeared to be twins, and none of the other kids would go near them.
"Miss? Why are those two so alone?"
"Oh…the other kids are afraid of them because of how they came to be here."
"What happened to 'em?"
"Their father was a horrible drunk and…he murdered their mother in front of them. The police took him down before he could kill the twins…but we're afraid the damage was already done mentally. No one wants to adopt them once they hear that either…some are worried they'll be messed like the father, or that witnessing that caused problems. They don't speak…haven't since they got here."
"How old are they?"
"They'll be 8 in…4 days now. They are very intelligent for their age…they just don't speak to anyone here."
"I want to meet them…Please?"
"I suppose it'll be alright."
The woman took them into a small room with piles of pillows and toys all around before bringing the twins into join them. They children had deep black hair and piercing blue eyes as they observed the two adults warily. Thea held out her hands with a gentle smile on her face.
"It's alright little ones…we won't hurt you I promise. I'm Amalthea but you can call me Thea if you prefer, and this is my Husband Dean Ambrose."
The little girl tugged on her brother's sleeve and pointed at the TV in the corner while making a strange hand gesture to which the boy nodded and gave the adults a tentative smile before opening his mouth a speaking softly, his voiced sounded rough and scratchy from not being used much recently but Thea smiled anyway.
"She said you two are on TV…the wrestling show."
"We are. We're part of the Shield."
"We used to watch with out mama…she loved you guys. Vixen was her favorite."
"I'm sure I'd have loved her too sweetie. We would like to adopt the two of you if you're ok with that?"
The twins shared a long look and Dean found that he was holding his breath when Thea squeezed his hand and whispered at him to breathe. The boy turned back to them and nodded slowly.
"We don't mind…but…"
"What is it sweetie?"
"We had a kitty but our father got rid of him…could you…maybe try and find out what happened to him? We just wanna know if he's ok."
"I can certainly do that sweetie. Let's go talk to the matron and fill out all that boring paperwork so we can take you home alright?"
"Ok…right sissy?"
"It's ok."
Dean stayed silent through most of it until the little girl came over and reached up to him. He swooped down and lifted her into his arms, grinning as she giggled in her high-pitched little voice. Thea had picked up the boy and they carried them back to the front office, ignoring the stares they received as the twins were actually talking and laughing with them. The matron almost cried at the sight and was quick to get the paperwork done.
"Everything is in order Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose. You can take the twins home now if you'd like?"
"Yes…we plan to do exactly that. I have a question though. The twins mentioned they'd had a pet at that their father had gotten rid of shortly before the incident. I was wondering if there was any mention of it in their record?"
"A neighbor had mentioned something about it to the police…Ah, here it is. A neighbor told the police she had seen the man carry a garbage bag to the neighborhood dumpster, but she said he was acting strange so she went to check it out and found the kitten inside the bag. I believe she might still have it at her house."
"Can you give me the phone number or something? I'd like to see if she'd be willing to let the twins have the kitten back…it might help them ease into their new home better."
"What a wonderful idea…Here we are. I only have a phone number but that should help."
"Thank you miss. I'll make sure to update you on how the twins are doing whenever I can."
"I appreciate that Mrs. Ambrose."
"Thea…call me thea."
They took the twins back to their bus where Roman and Seth were waiting, Thea explained who they were on the way and both kids were actually excited to meet the other two Shield members. When they got there Seth was bouncing as much as the twins were which amused everyone. Roman crouched down and let the little girl climb onto his shoulder where she sat in happy contentment for the next hour or so. Thea used the distraction to go into their bedroom and call the number she'd been given.
"Hello?"
"Hello ma'am. My name is Amalthea Ambrose with the WWE. I was wondering if you still had the kitten you rescued from the father of a pair of twins?"
"I do…why do you want to know this information?"
"My husband and I have just adopted the twins and they mentioned the kitten. They wanted me to find out if he's ok and I was hoping…that you might be willing to let them have him back?"
"Oh I would love to give him back to them. He's a sweet kitten but he doesn't interact with me much…I honestly think he misses those kids. I can meet you somewhere with him and all of his things?"
"That would be perfect. We're in a bus in the parking lot of the Best Western near the arena. It's the biggest bus in the lot you can't miss it."
"I'll be there in 20."
They ended their call and Thea returned to her family with a big smile, whispering in Dean's ear and earning a big grin from him as well.
"What has you two grinning like that?"
"You'll see in about 20 minutes Sethie dear."
The twins were curious but they went back to playing with Seth's hair, the two tones fascinating them to no end. 20 Minutes later there was a knock on the door and Thea went to answer it while Dean grabbed the little carrier and bag of supplies from the woman.
"Thank you dear. Oh there you are kids. Do you remember me?"
"Mrs. Johnson?"
"That's right."
"You used to watch us when mama and father went out somewhere…"
"I did. I brought you a little surprise. Miss Thea here contacted me and told me you two were missing your little kitten…so I brought him here to you."
"Really?! She's ok? Father didn't hurt her like he said he would?"
"No kids, I managed to get the little guy away form him safely."
Thea moved to the carrier while the woman was talking and picked the little ball of fur out of it. The kitten was probably about a year old and was almost solid black with little white sock and a white patch on his chest.
"Does he have a name little ones?"
"No…father wouldn't let us give him a name."
"Well, how about we call him Mistofelees then?"
"What's it mean?"
"It's the name of a black and white cat form the musical cats, and one of my favorites. We can watch it if you want to?"
"Yes please…and I like that name…don't you Jacob?"
"Yeah Mel…I like it too."
"Then Mistofelees it is. If you two want to set up his food and water dishes in the kitchen that would be a big help…"
The twins practically tripped over each other trying to race to the bag of stuff. They started putting things in certain places; food and water in the little kitchen area, food bag and treat bags in one of the lower cabinets, and all the toys went into a little basket Seth found in the closet which went under one of the tables. Roman watched in amazement at how quickly the kids had taken over the bus with their kitten but Dean seemed to be perfectly fine with it. He knew Dean liked his space but he seemed so enamored with the twins and it made Roman smile. Mrs. Johnson left after about an hour and Thea promised to keep in touch. They all ended up piled onto the sofas, Roman and Seth curled up on one while Dean and Thea were on the other with the twins between them as they all watched Cats. When it was over the twins wanted to watch it again so they did, this time the kids were singing along until they finally got tired and fell asleep. Melinda had curled up in Dean's lap where he was stroking her hair and Jacob had curled into Thea's side a she held him close. Roman and Seth watched them with soft smiles, happy to see their happiness.
The two little twins ended up travelling with the Shield on the bus for about a year, receiving counseling via Skype to try and help them work through what had happened to them. Once the counselor decided they were ready to go back to school Thea told Vince she was going to be mostly staying at home with them. He agreed as long as she promised to still show up and visit sometimes. She and the twins actually ended up backstage art least once a month, frequently appearing on the show with the Shield. The twins took to the spotlight almost immediately and Thea and Dean loved it. Vince loved it too as the ratings skyrocketed when the twins were on the show. Everyone seemed to love them.
As they grew older Jacob decided he wanted to be a wrestler like his dad, and the day he said that to them Dean actually cried because Jacob called him dad. Little Melinda wanted to be a ballroom dancer so Thea enrolled her in lessons immediately at one of the best places she could find. The two grew faster than they'd have liked but they were both very talented. Dean and his brothers trained Jacob themselves and he was a quick learner, and one heck of a little flyer. He could also brawl like dean though so dean was more than proud. Melinda became a very highly ranked dancer and eventually even joined the Dancing with the Stars cast at age 16, making Thea one very proud momma. Jacob eventually joined the WWE with Dean at age 18 and won his first title, the United States Championship, a year later. Dean hoisted him up onto his shoulder and beamed with pride, Thea and Melinda standing nearby with beaming smiles. Eventually they twins fell in love and got married and had children to dote on, and Dean decided to retire after finally wining the World Heavyweight Championship and holding it for almost 2 years. The twins and their families showed up every month for a family dinner, though they often stopped by between those dinners to visit as well, and Roman and Seth always joined them along with Phil and AJ with their daughter who has also become a wrestler like her parents and was the current Women's Champion. Dean, Mox, Thea, and Vix were all content as they settled into retirement together, though they still made appearances on the WWE, and they were more than happy to grow old together.
