Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. July 14, 2013. Money in the Bank was being held in that same local, that same day, that very year. Needless to say, Leah Stevens was excited - very excited in fact. Two of her best friends were part of the All Stars ladder match, the divas match revolved around two of her closest friends and Leah was signing back with the company that very same night. The brunette sure had enough reasons to be happy.

Even though all that, Leah couldn't shake off the nervousness she had about returning after so long - especially now he was there.

Feeling the trembling on her right leg, Leah's hand went to her jeans' pocket as she removed her phone. She smiled at the picture the screen showed, before her thumb pressed the green buttom by the left side of the screen.

"Hey dad, I just landed." Leah started, as she stood leaning against the wall, waiting for her bags.

"I thought you'd have." The voice of one Million Dollar Man spoke up. "Who's picking you up?"

"Jay is. He got here yesterday, said he would come for me after he hit the gym." Leah smiled at the mention of her best friend. She hadn't seen Jay in such a long time.

"Alright. Don't forget to call after you sign the papers, alright?" Leah chuckled at the question, agreeing to give her dad a call. Since she had told the Hall of Famer about her plans to return, he had been more then supporting of her, which didn't go unappreciated by the former diva. "Well, I've gotta go now. There's a little man here who wants to speak to you."

"Mommy." Leah closed her eyes at the warm of her son's voice. She had seen that kid less then six hours ago but she was already missing him very much.

"Hi baby. You woke up well?" With her head leaning against the cold wall and her free hand resting in the warm of her jackett, Leah paid attention as her almost three year old told her his every morning steps. "You gotta be a good boy, alright? Momma's coming for you on tuesday so you have to be good, these couple of days, alright?"

"I will." The little boy, held the phone against his right ear with the support of both his hands, as he slowly nodded his head. His grandmother watched him from the kitchen table she was setting as he grandfather stood by his side, smiling at the little boy's innocence. "I'm gonna miss you."

Leah closed her eyes, fighting to held back the tears that were threatning to fall. "I'll miss you two. But you'll see, soon enough mommy's gonna be there and then she's gonna take you to see uncle Phil and uncle Jay.."

"Alright." The expression on the little boy's face changed from one of sadden to a happier one. "But don't forget."

"Never, Jody."


"Well, this looks pretty amazing." Leah commented as she watched the stage for tonight's PPV, Jay right by her side.

"It does." The older man agreed, never taking his eyes off of the shorter woman. It didn't go unnoticed by Leah, though. Jay, he was never one to be discret - he was the exact opposite, actually. He was that sort of person that if you said not to look somewhere, the first thing he would do was look that same direction.

"What?"

"I've really missed you, shorty." Wrapping his arm around her shoulders, the moment was rather sweet between the two friends - even if he had kind of blown it with the nickname. Oh God, did Leah hate being called shorty!

Leah shrugged off his arms, with playful indiference. "Yeah, well, you've been remembered from time to time."

Jay chuckled, bringing her closer and wrapping both arms around her neck. Leah's arms craved their way to Jay's waist as she rested her head in his chest. She did miss him deeply. It was never easy being away from your friends and while Leah had some fantastic friends, it was rare the occasions she got to spend in their company.

"What's this sight I'm seeing?" Phil Brooks' voice echoed from down the stage and Leah could have not run faster towards the tattoed man. Wrapping her arms around him, just like she previously had them around Jay.

"I've missed you too, Stevens." Phil chuckled and wrapped his own arms around the brunette.

"Stop mocking me!" Leah complained, stepping away from her friend. "Can I just be happy to finally see you guys or are you gonna be jerks about it?"

"By all means, be happy!" Phil crossed his arms over his chest, flashing her a well known smirk.

Leah rolled her eyes at the two men - as much as she loved both guys to death, they could be unsufferable. "Where's Lay? I need someone who will appreacite me."

"We do appreaciate you, shorty." Leah rolled her eyes.

"I fucking hate you." Both guys chuckled as Jay held his hands up in a surrounding way.

"I don't know where Lay is though. We drove together but she went her own way." Phil informed her.

The three walked together towards catering, thinking they would come across their English friend. Leah was never one to have plenty of girlfriends. Probably because she pratically grew up around only men. But back in 2007, upon meeting Layla, Leah could never complain about not having a girl to hang out with - the two got along extremely well and Layla was definitely one of Leah's best friend.

In all honesty, as much as they annoyed the hell out of her, Leah was really thankful for every great person she had in her life. Since her first run in the WWE, she had made a fantastic group of her friends that consisted of her, Phil, Layla, Jay and her older brother Ted. These five, they did everything together back in the day - they worked together, travelled together, ate together, trained together. Just everything.

"Lay." Leah squealed excited as the English diva came in her eyesight. Layla had her back turned to Leah, but she could recognize her friend's voice anywhere.

"Leah." Layla squealed right back, with as much excitment as Leah had and turned to face Leah and the two men beside her. "Ahhh!" She run to her friend, giving her a hug. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too, Lay."


Soon enough the arena was filled with the fans, who pantiently waited for the show to start, and with every superstar and diva who were now getting ready for the PPV. Leah had separated herself from Layla as she went to get dressed. The diva was playing part of the divas match that had Kaitlyn facing the new Divas champion AJ Lee.

"So how's Jody?" Phil asked, taking Leah off of her thoughts.

"He's good." Leah smiled. "He stayed with my parents, I'm gonna go pick him up on tuesday."

Phil nodded. "You don't have to worry about this, you know? We're gonna be here and we're gonna help. Sure it's gonna be an adjustment but we'll make it."

"Thanks Phil, really." Leah smiled. "I'm kinda not used to you not being an ass. What's up with that?" Leah teased him, only earning a simple roll of eyes.

While making her way towars the room she was meeting Paul in, Leah couldn't help but remember a similiar arena she was in a couple years ago. She had given birth just five months before but she didn't want to miss Jay's big moment. So, that night, she left Jody with her parents and came to watch her best friend become World champion. God, was she proud that night!

Knocking on the door she was indicated, she awaited a response and only opened the wood door once she got it. Closing it carefully behind her, she made her way towards the desk that separated her from Paul and shook his hand.

"It's great to see you again, Leah."

"You too." Leah replied honestly. She had last seen Paul two weeks ago, when she was given her contract to read over and some time to think about it - that time, also Stephanie and Mr. McMahon being present in the small reunion.

"So, we've been after you for a long time Leah." Paul started and Leah just knew he wanted her answer right away. "Is it a yes or is it a no?"

She had concerns about coming back. The fact she had a son of only two years and a half being the main one - but there were others.

Jonathan Good.

He was a part of the WWE roster right now and Leah couldn't run from him any longer. She had done enough running since the night she and Jon had slept together, more then three years ago.

It was not like she hadn't seen him since. She would see him sometimes, she would see him everytime she came to a show - but that was completely different. On those times, they would talk and then Leah would go back home and progress with her life.

She remembered the first time she saw him after two whole years. Extreme Rules 2012. The PPV was held in Chicago where Leah was living and she was backstage - and so was Jon and a few of the other rookies. She was paying attention to Phil's match against Chris Jericho, when he stopped next to her.

"Pretty good match, huh?"

Leah's head turned from the televisor towards the man by her side. Looking at him was just mere confirmation to what she already knew - she would recognize his voice anywhere.

She swallowed, nervous. Two years without seeing him and he still had the same damn effect he had on her before - with only asking a simple fucking question.

She merely nodded, before returning her attention towards the screen. That was it - the two stood watching the match for a couple minutes without exchanging a word and soon enough, one of the other guys were calling him and he was gone.

Leah didn't see much of him after that, except the night he debuted. It was 18th November, one day after Jody's birthday and Leah brought the small child backstage. Needless to say she had no idea Jon was actually debuting that same day.

He and other two rookies interfered in Phil's match and helped him retain the title. It was actually pretty great. She saw him from a far and he saw her too. She smiled at him, congratulating him and he nodded her way.

They talked again at Payback, just the month before and that was actually their first conversation in a very long time.

Leah was just walking out of Mr. McMahon's office, after discussing once again the possibility of her return, when she came across him - all sweaty, carrying a bottle of water in one hand and his title on the other.

Leah stopped unsure of what to do. He stopped hoping this was his chance to actually talk to her again.

"Hey."

"Hi." Leah replied. "Congratulations. It was pretty great."

"You saw it?"

"Just the beggining, I had a small and fast meeting with your bosses."

"Are they about to become your bosses again, Leah?" Jon asked, curiosity taking the best of him.

She remained silent for a bit, "I'm considering it."

Jon nodded. "Think it through. I think it would be great if you did return." Leah narrowed her eyebrows at his comment. "I know I'd love to see your pretty face on a daily basis."

She closed her eyes, shaking her head. "I'm sure you would."

With that, she simply left the United States Champion and made her way back to where she knew she would find her friends.

Signing with the WWE right now would mean she would see him all the time. Jody would see him. And he would see Jody.

Leah didn't need that. As selfish as it sounded, and she knew it did, she couldn't deal with him in their life right now.

She sighed, taking the contract they had given her two weeks ago from her purse. "You've got me."

Paul couldn't hide his excitment, which was something Leah appreciated at the moment. Handing her a pen, Leah signed her name on it, before returning both items to the COO of the company.

"I'm glad we've got Leah DiBiase back." Paul got up from his chair and held his hand out for Leah. The brunette woman got out of her seat and shook the man's hands.

"So am I."

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. July 14, 2013. Money in the Bank. Leah DiBiase is officialy back.
