First Big Fight (AJ and Ellie)

AJ had been going out of the house quite a bit as of late because his old TNA friends were in town for some house shows. And he'd even gone to see the shows and see Daniels and Joe again. He'd missed everyone a lot. Joe and Chris even surprised him by getting a TNA onesie for Maddie. He immediately liked it and put it on her.

Then he had gotten a phone call from Dixie. She wanted him to come back to TNA. She was offering him quite a bit of money too. He figured it wouldn't hurt to talk with her, right? He found out when Ellie would be gone to talk with Stephanie about getting back into the ring so that was when he invited Dixie over to their house. Dressing Maddie in her new TNA onesie, he had coffee and stuff set up as they started talking.

"The TNA audience misses you, AJ. The whole locker room misses you...we'd love to have you back." she told him.

"I dunno, Dixie...I'm ECW champion right now...and my wife is a WWE diva." he told her.

"You can still be married to her...and you're ECW champion...with us, you can be World Champion." she reasoned.

Ellie had come back pretty early from her meeting with Stephanie and was pretty content with the decision she made about returning. All she wanted to do was go home and relax with AJ and Maddie for a bit and tell AJ about how her meeting went. She closed her car door and started to make her way to the house, taking her house keys out. As soon as she opened the door, she looked on in confusion as she saw AJ with another woman...Dixie Carter.

"Hey...." she said in confusion. "What's um, going on?" she asked as she then looked over at Maddie with her TNA onesie on.

"Oh, you must be Ellie. AJ told me all about you." Dixie smiled.

"Hey...I thought you were in a meeting with Stephanie." he said, a bit worried.

"I'm sure he has." she replied as she shook Dixie's hand. "Yes, I'm Ellie."

She then looked over at AJ.

"Oh well I did sweetheart, but the meeting finished earlier than expected." she replied as she folded her arms across her chest.

"Well...I'll let you think it over, AJ. Just give me a call with whatever decision you make." Dixie told him as they walked to the door.

AJ made sure she got out alright before walking back into the house more. "You alright?" he asked, feeling a bit tense.

She ignored his question.

"Why was she here AJ and what exactly do you have to think over?" she asked.

"Well...I've been going to the TNA shows as of late...and I dunno...she was offering me a chance to come back to TNA..." he said rather casually.

"So in other words, you're thinking of going back." she said.

He nodded. "Yeah..."

"And you were going to tell me when? When you were on TNA and I saw it for myself? Or when I read it online?"

"No...I didn't tell you because I didn't know if I was even gonna do it. There'd be no point in mentioning it if I don't even go." he told her. It really wasn't that big a deal.

"Still, it would be nice if you had at least told me you were thinking about it." she sighed.

"Ellie, it is not that big a deal." he reassured. "It's not even a sure thing."

"It's not a big deal?" she asked. "Okay, well what if I was in talks with another company and never talked to you about it?"

"Why the hell are you trying to jump on my ass about this, Ellie? Even if I go to TNa again, I'll be home the same amount of time if not more, I'll still be makign good money. What's wrong with that?"

She was taken aback when he replied like that.

"I don't care about all that. I know you'll be home and whatever and I know you'll be making good money, but you're at least supposed to talk to me about it. We've always talked about things with one another, but now you're leaving me out of this?" she said.

"And I told you I would have talked with you about it when I was ready to make a decision." he said again.

She put her hands up in defense.

"Whatever. Do what you want, I don't care anymore." she said as she started walking away to their room.

He rolled his eyes as he went into the kitchen.

Once she went upstairs, she closed the door and groaned, realizing how much of a child she was being. The main reason why she was really upset was because she was just afraid that AJ would eye and prefer the knockouts over her and she was just feeling so...scared about that, especially since she knew that she wasn't exactly looking the same as she did before being pregnant with Maddie.

She was even more mad at herself when AJ sort of went off on her before. She did deserve it.

"Whatever." she huffed as she plopped down on the bed and wiped away the stupid tears that managed to come out from her eyes.

"He can have those girls." she muttered as she laid on the bed, looking at the ceiling.

AJ grabbed himself a beer to cool off. He normally didn't drink too much but he was pretty heated. Granted, it did look bad when Ellie walked in on him talking with Dixie in the living room. Ellie didn't even know.

Madison crawled up to AJ and began to whine at his feet. He smiled, picking up his daughter. "Hey baby girl..." he cooed. "What should Daddy do? Should he move back to TNA with Uncle Chris and Joe? Or should I stay with WWE?" he asked her. She began to tug and pull at the TNA onesie to take it off. "I guess that's my answer...I'm gonna stay with WWE." he said softly, kissing her forehead. She giggled happily.

"Wanna go see Mommy?" he smiled and Madison laughed again. He headed upstairs to their bedroom and knocked before entering. "Ellie? Can we talk?"

Hearing the knock on the door and AJ asking to come in, she sat up and sighed.

"Sure."

He came in and Maddie wriggled to get free. He set her down on the bed and the infant crawled over to her mother. As she crawled, she slipped and fell flat on the bed, laughing. AJ smiled at her.

"So, I made my choice."

Ellie helped Maddie up and smiled at her as well as she tickled her lightly, causing her to giggle.

"Allen it's okay, you don't have to tell me." she said with a shrug.

"No....I should." he told her. "Besides...I told you I was going to." he said softly, sitting next to her on the bed. "I'm gonna stay with the WWE." he told her. "Ellie...I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was in talks with Dixie again...I didn't mean to keep that from you."
