Danika July 18 - Tampa, Florida

                                    

                                          

She's not nosey by nature but the envelope is old. The fold is creased and it looked like it had been done with force. Luis and her were not going out until around eleven that morning so she had time to read the contents and put them back she supposed during the twins' nap. Hesitation almost held her back, but she had always taken care of Dominik. Whatever this was, it was an old secret. And she considered it her job to spare him unnecessary heartbreak. Unfolding it with careful hands the front threw her - it was confidential mail, the kind that spoke of records requested from government agencies. The recipient was Eduardo Guerrero. 
She had a feeling this was about that stupid custody match in 2005. 
With a tremble in her hands she slowly pulled the paperwork out. They'd taken Eddie's blood, Vickie's blood, Angie's blood, and Rey's blood before they took Dominik's. Then they tested it. The report was on the last page, a piece of history otherwise forgotten. Dominik was biologically Eddie Guerrero's son with Angie. Heart in her throat she folded everything back up, and wondered just how many people had seen the report. She'd be willing to bet Rey had, and probably Eddie. Maybe Vickie, but definitely Vince who had decided to hide the truth. Keep it a secret. She quickly tucked it away, and hurried out of Dominik's room. Biting her bottom lip she wondered how long she'd have to sit on that secret herself. While the fact changed nothing for her it did change everything for Dom and their children, Lainey included (since Dom and Danika had been granted joint custody of the girl, and it had allowed Lainey to take Dominik's actual last name: Gutiérrez). 
It would impact the legacy Dominik was set to inherit, biologically the Guerrero legacy, but he was raised a Mysterio. Maybe he could take both mantels - be the new Latino Heat and honor them both. But that didn't seem like Rey's plan. 
When Damian picked her up later, again in a rental SUV, she was still feeling slightly off. "You ok, Corazón bonito?"
"Yeah. Just a lot of things on my mind." She admitted. "What are we doing today?" She asked eagerly.  
"I am not a fan of animals in captivity so the zoo and aquarium are out. Might we go to Glazer Children's Museum?" Damian guided them onto the road from the arena. "Or we can go to the Sunken Garden."
"I am dying to see you at the children's museum. You legitimately look like a gothic prince of darkness right now." His jeans were black, his shirt was an Ozzy tour shirt, he had on one of his leather vests, his hair was braided in two braids for once, and his boots were clunky with chains on them. Danika meanwhile was in a bright yellow maxi dress and gladiator sandals. The twins were in aqua and peach respectively, their shorts solid colors with matching shirts that had taco prints on them. Both also had adorable gray fisherman hats on with their nicknames embroidered on the front of them. 
"You look like happiness in a dress." He admitted sheepishly. She burst with giggles, and he couldn't help but smile, she hadn't put much stock or worry into their age gap, but with her at twenty-three and Damian at thirty-nine there was a sixteen year age difference which would no doubt make waves if anyone ever publicly linked them. "I'm not sure why you keep saying yes to these dates, but thank you."
"I like you, Luis, or I wouldn't come out with you." She shot him a bright smile, "Want me to put the address in the GPS?" He nodded as went to work, "Are you gonna turn your music on, I know you like metal, just don't go too loud." So he turned his Spotify on and tried not to overthink things when she tangled her fingers in his over the shifter. She caught the look of reverence he sent their hands, before deciding someday she was going to ask him who the hell had hurt him so badly. But not today, not yet. Not when they were so new, so tentative.
The Children's Museum was large, square and angular, predominantly white with yellow hued accents. The front of the building was framed with palm trees. It looked massive, and Danika was so excited about spending the day there. They parked, and helped all three of the little ones out, Damian surprised Danika by grabbing the diaper bag. They stopped in at guest services to buy their tickets - the teenage girl behind the counter looked up at Damian with a bit of fear in her eyes, "Don't mind Luis." Danika offered, as she patted the man's arm, "He's just an adult sized goth."
