Hanging with Maria (Dal and Maria)

Dal Knox returns backstage after his match happy that he put on a good match despite his loss. He knows Maria is at the show as he saw her in action in the Diva's Championship Scamble. She looked fantastic and he's been looking forward all day to catching up with her. As he walks along Nadine runs up to him
"Daddy Daddy," she calls out.
"Hey Baby," Dal says picking her up.
He can tell from her face that she enjoyed watching his match. Dal smiles as she cuddles into him.
"Are we going to go and hang out with Aunty Maria?" Nadine asks. "Hope so," Dal says.

Maria was disappointed that she lost, but she had a great match and Soraya was going to be a great champion. She was just getting changed and fixing her hair.

Dal tapped on the diva's locker room door and waited to see if anyone was inside.

Maria had just finished putting up her hair and went to the door. She grinned at Dal. "Hey Dal~" she said brightly.

Dal smiled," Hi Maria. I"m sorry you lost your match. You looked great out there though," Dal said.
"Hi Aunty Maria," Nadine said.

She grinned. "Hi there Nadine." she said brightly.

"Thanks Dal...you too...you had a great match though." she said smiling warmly.

"I felt I did good. Although I am yet to have a win yet. But my time will come. I'm sure of it," Dal said.

"I'm sure it will...just give it time and keep doing your best and I'm sure you'll win." she said reassuringly, kissing his cheek.

Dal smiled at Maria and wrapped his arms around her.
"And I'm sure my favourite Diva will have the Diva's championship around her waist in the near future," Dal said.

She giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Oh~?" she asked playing stupid.

"And who is your favorite diva?" she asked winking.

"Its you Aunty Maria," Nadine said.
Dal shot her a look then grinned.

"Awww thank you~" she said like it was a total shock.

"Now how should I repay my favorite superstar for that wonderful compliment?"

"Give him a kiss Aunty Maria. I know Daddy would like that," Nadine piped up.
She burst into a flurry of giggles.
"Now Nadine thats enough," Dal said in a warning tone.
He blushed red.

She couldn't help but giggle either. Nadine was adorable and kids couldn't lie.

"I was thinking the exact same thing." she said as she leaned in and gave him a soft kiss to his lips.

Dal smiled and wrapping his arms around her deepened the kiss.
"Daddy and Aunty Maria up the tree K I S S I N G" Nadine chortled then burst into another round of the giggles.
Dal gently broke off the kiss then looked at Nadine.
"Nadine...." he began.
"Sorry Daddy," Nadine said, looking contrite.

Maria giggled into the kiss as they pulled away. "Do you want some kisses too?" Maria offered, smiling brightly down at the adorable little girl.

Nadine looked at Dal and he nodded.
"Yes please," Nadine said.

Maria went to her, picked her up and showered her adorable little face with soft kisses, hugging her afterwards.

Nadine giggled. Dal smiled at Maria.
"Are you going to back to the hotel or would you like to do something?" he asked.

She shrugged. "I'm up for anything. I'm still wired with lots of energy." she said smiling as she set Nadine down.

"I'd like you and Nadine to get to know each other," Dal said.

She smiled at his response. It meant a lot to her. "Oh...did you give her the toy?" she asked softly.

"Yes I gave her the toy. She loves it," Dal said.

She grinned. "Great." she said as she stole one more kiss from Dal. "Sorry...I can't help myself." she said giggling.

"I don't mind. I can get one of the others to baby sit Nadine if you wanted to go see a movie or something," Dal said.
