Chapter 12 Calm and a Farm
(A/N: Big thanks to @alexrelatado for his Liv Chapter that was released few hours before this. Just to be clear, both our chapters involve Liv and our respective OCs going to the farm but I will make Don's experience in the Wonderland Ranch different from Luke Ardiente's. Had to make it clear.
On to the chapter)
Continuation.....
Monday Night Raw
Arena
Nearing the Main Event
Don was still calming Liv as Liv wept in his arms. The two were hugging it out. Don then lightly rubbed Liv's back.
Don: - to Liv, in a soothing voice - Gionna, just cry it out. Come on now....
Liv just continued to weep into Don's shoulder. However, this was already possibly causing a scene with several eyes peering over at the Problem Child crying on a new guy's shoulder. To lessen a possible incident or scandal, Don gently and caringly whispered into Liv's ear
Don: - whispers - Hey, let's go to my locker room. And so no one notices us and if it makes you feel better, you can Huggies me. I won't let go of you, ever.
Liv then was a bit warmed into the idea and then jumped into Don's arms as his arms supported her upper thighs, staying away from her butt as Liv wrapped herself around Don. Don then began to carefully sprint to their locker room.
Hurt Business Locker Room
Luckily, only Don was left as the rest of the Hurt Business went on ahead to their hotel. He then sat both of them down, rubbing Liv's back with love and care as if she were a baby. Liv was letting it all out on Don's shoulder some more. Don then texted Ruby that they were at the Hurt Business's locker room.
Liv then cried enough but Don saw that he had a water bottle laying around.
Don: Liv, I have to get you some water, crying for this long will not be good for you.
Liv: - sniffling more - NO! Huggies..... -holds on tighter -
Don: Okay, just...stay on to me. I will get you a water bottle. Alright?
Liv can only nod, but she is ashamed to still be a crying fit. Why would she not weep? After such an insensitive endorsement to their burial in the cards, it felt like this maltreatment and mediocrity was being okay-ed.
Don was able to get a water bottle and tapped Liv by her side.
Don: Liv, water bottle is here.
Liv slightly chuckled as she was poked on her side. Don knew what must be done as he poked her exposed sides more.
Liv: - turning to laugh - Donny...stop please! - giggling -
Liv then looked up to Don poking her sides as she exposed her face to him as Don handed her the water bottle.
Don: Come on, drink up. This helps calm down after one has cried out.
Liv then grabbed the bottle and drank as she blushed while realizing that while crying, she was on Don's lap and in a Huggies.
Don may be portraying a gentle, caring exterior but deep down, he was melting and controlling his emotions. Sure he felt for her, but he must be a friend to Liv first before anything else.
Liv: - blushing - Donny...are you..poking me?
Don's mind was elsewhere but as he heard Liv say this, he blushed too and moved her hips away from his core.
Don: Oh no! Oh no... jeez.. I'm so sorry! Damn you must think I'm like every other...
Liv saw that Don was getting flustered. So she placed her index finger on his lips.
Liv: Shh! Donny, it's fine. Your body....lo...lo...*blushes*
Don: Liv....
The two friends were about to straddle between the lines of friends and lovers as their minds want them to just stay friends, but the emotions boil into wanting them to share a kiss.
This stopped as knocking was heard on the door.
Ruby: - knocking - Hey! Are you two okay in there?
Liv opens here eyes to see Don's lips were nearly puckering up but she stopped herself. Don opened his eyes to see her stop as he blushed and realized what was about to happen.
Don: Oh no... - blushing a deeper red - I will....get the door.
Liv then sadly moves off Don as she tried to wipe her eyes but unable to find even a piece of cloth, Don brings out a handkerchief.
Don: - hands the handkerchief to Liv - wipe your eyes with this
Liv then wipes her eyes and blushes while Don opens the door. Ruby then steps in to see Don's soaked and slightly wrinkled up shirt.
Ruby: I see you've calmed Daddy down from crying - smirks -
Don: Not the right time but you can say that Dori.
Ruby: Hey, I was only here to lighten the mood. But good job calming her down. - smiles -
Don: Thanks. Anything for a friend.
Ruby: Oh yeah sure...
Liv: - sniffles- Rue Rue....
Ruby: - looks at Liv - Hey G, just calm down. We're here for you
Liv: It just sucks Dori!
Ruby: You know, I should be more frustrated than you. I've been here longer than you in the industry. I don't have the look to be as marketable as an Alexa Bliss or any of the Horsewomen. But you do.
Liv: Don't say that Rue! You got experience.
Don: Pardon me interrupting, but ladies, please. Let's not compare and put one another down.
Liv: Don't talk to us like that Donny....
Ruby: Hey, Liv. I think he's trying to help.
Don: No, I get it. I mean, always being shafted. Always being looked over. Not being considered even after giving your all but others wanting you to be tugged and put in line to the vision of others?
Ruby: Donny....
Don: Liv, it helps if you can go to your happy place. I mean, I don't have much spaces on account of being on the move and hiding it from my parents, but going back to you, for sure you got a happy place. Where you feel your bounciest, like how you are when it comes to Jordans or like how you are around video games....
Ruby: Or how you are when you're around your Donny your love your sweet? - smirks -
Liv: - blushes - Ruby! - pouts -
Don: So, do you have a happy place?
Liv: - sniffles and drinks the water - I have a farm.
Don: - surprised - You have a farm?
Liv: - nods - Yeah. Wonderland Ranch - smiles - Oh that's right! I have to check up on that from time to time.
Ruby: Oh no, I can't join you there Liv. I got something tomorrow.
Liv: Awww Rue Rue, I will need help with the farm....
Don then suddenly volunteers himself
Don: I'm available Liv.
Liv: You sure Donny? You may have some Hurt Business related thing before Raw
Don: I believe mentor has to have his knee checked and Cedric, Lashley and Shelton have their own things going on. So I'm available - smiles -
Liv: Awww for me Donny? - tries to gather up a smile -
Don: For you, my friend - smiles -
Liv: - begins to bounce and clap - Yay!
Don: At least some things worked. Alright, let's rest up after such a night like this.
The Riotts and Don then packed up and proceeded to the hotel to call it a night.
Timeskip to tomorrow
May 5, 2020
Hotel
Don's Room
Morning
Don woke up after having some morning stretches and heard some knocking on the door. Don saw through the eye hole that it was Liv and opened the door.
Liv then smiled and wrapped Don in a long and tight hug. Don then hugged back and then told Liv.
Don: Pretty early for you huh? - chuckles -
Liv: Not funny Donny - pouts -
Don: Now hey, it's the other wrestler's faults for saying you got a reputation of sleeping in!
Liv: Well, I did have a record but for you, we won't be beating that first because we have to go to my happy place - smiles - Got extra clothes? It's a farm.
Don: Well, thankfully I got some light clothes.
Liv: - bounces - Yay! Let's go Donny, to my happy place!
Both Don and Liv get ready and grab a quick drive thru meal on the way as they headed to Liv's farm.

Wonderland Ranch
Late Morning
Liv: Almost there Donny!
Don was busy on the road as they were able to grab a quick bite as they arrived at Liv's farm. Liv was surprisingly able to direct Don to her farm with no untoward incident. Upon seeing the familiar plot of land, the Problem Child of WWE was clapping in glee
Liv: Donny, we're here! - smiles -
Don then had to unlock the door for Liv to open the gate to her farm. Liv opens the gate to let Don's rental car into the property as Liv walks by Don's door and smiles at him.
Liv: Welcome to Wonderland Ranch. My farm! - smiles -
Don: WOW! You own a farm?
Liv: - nods - mhmm! Ever been to a farm?
Don: Well, not really.... heck - screams in terror - ahhh!
Liv laughs at Don as he screamed because a pig was pressing its snout on his calf. But it wasn't any ordinary pig. It was...
Liv: Piggles! Give momma a hug now
She said this as she squatted down so her pig goes to its owner and imprints her with love once again
Liv: mmmhhh good little piggie!
Don then was trying to get used to the surroundings and that he is in a farm for the first time. Then he hears barking to see a dog go near Liv and him.
Don: ahh don't bite me! - fumbling to try to open the car door -
Liv: Hey, relax Donny! Oh!
The dog then gleefully goes to Liv.
Liv: Spirit! Good girl! Come to me
Spirit then goes to Liv and stands on its hind legs leaning its front paws on Liv's core.
Liv: Did you take care of Nala and the rest of the doggies while Mommy was away?
Spirit then barks while Don is still quite shaken
Liv: Donny, don't be afraid now. They're friends! Well more of family to me - smiles - Let me see your calf.
Don then shows his calf as Spirit and Piggles watch
Liv: Oh, see? - touches his calf - No tooth marks. That means Piggles imprinted you with love - smiles -
As she said this, Piggles nuzzles its cheek against Don's calf some more. Don was still tensing up but Liv then grabbed his hand and led it to Piggles's head.
Liv: Pet it, it's okay - smiles - He loves being petted.
Don pets Piggles and Piggles gives happy snorts and squeals.
Liv: New friend!
She snuck away and took a picture of Don petting Piggles. Then she signaled Spirit to go Don. Don was still quite nervous but Liv, immediately switching her camera to video mode then tells Don.
Liv: Spirit come on now. Go to Donny - smiles - He's a friend. - to Don - Donny, pet Spirit! She's a friend too like Piggles!
Don then pets Piggles and Spirit with a bit of hesitation but once the two animals come to like the one petting them, he is then at ease.
Liv: - stops the video - There we go - smiles - Now we have to do some farm work Donny. - giggles -
Don: Of course.
Liv: Oh, Donny, you can go change first inside the bathroom. I got my own room to change into farm clothes - smiles -
timeskip
Don then came out in an undershirt and some jersey shorts that fit him well. Liv then emerges from her room in a sports bra, denim jacket and ripped jeggings.
Don was blushing upon seeing Liv and Liv fans herself upon seeing Don.
Don: Ohhh! Uhm.... Sorry bout that....
Liv: Oh Donny, why'd you wear a wifebeater around me? I'm not your wife - fans her neck -
Don: Hey, that's what it's called over HERE?!?!?! uh... I'mma change...
Liv: Oh no, it suits you - smiles -
Don: Uhh thanks. It's actually called a sando back where I lived in.
Liv: Oh... but here, it's a wifebeater - smirks then regains her senses - Oh, I will need help first with the chicken coop - giggles - they might have been pooping around while I'm away earning money for me to improve the ranch.
Don: Oh yes, I can help you with that.
Don and Liv then proceeded to the Chicken coop as Liv made the chickens step away first as she collected the eggs. Don was observing then did as Liv did with the chickens in order to have the coop cleared out.
Once Liv cleared the coop, she brought out the brush and the bucket of soap water.
Liv: Donny, seeing as this is a wide coop and I cannot do this on my own, you take one side, I clean the other. Just... - in her TV voice - watch me.
Liv then teaches Don how to clean the coop from chicken droppings. Don then assists Liv in cleaning up the coop, careful not to let the eggs drop at any point of the cleaning. Both of them finished faster and Liv grabbed a basket to gather the eggs. Don, after being taught by Liv was able to get the chickens back to the coop to stay in there.
Liv: Wow, so capable Donny. - smiles -
Don: Anything for a friend, Lo...Liv - chuckles -
Liv: - blushes then recalls - I will get these eggs cleaned up. Can you go and feed my piggies?
Don: With what?
Liv: Oh Donny such a city boy - giggles -
Liv then brings Don to the pig pen and she has there a sack of oats and some wheat.
Liv: Don, place some in their common feeding areas.
Don then did as she told and saw the pigs eat. He was observing as Liv brought back the basket of eggs into the house to clean and package for orders and set aside for herself and Don.
Don then finished watching the pigs feed then saw that the pig pen was dirty and filled with feces. Don then took the initiative to gather the pig feces and scoop them into the side as fertilizer.
Liv then went out and saw Don huff a bit.
Liv: Aww you cleaned up the pig pen without me - giggles -
Don: Wow, you're not..weirded out by the smell of pig crap?
Liv: Hey, when you live around a pig like Piggles and a farm for some time, I adjust - giggles -
Don: Wow....
Liv: Now let's wash your hands because I will be needing your help for this next task too - smiles -
Don and Liv wash their hands then head to the cow ranch where the cows are all gathered.
Liv: Alright, this will be quite the struggle since even I cannot get it right but was taught. It's time we get Milky.
Don: Milky?
Liv: The cow's milk - giggles -
Don: Oh... here I thought...something...else... he he - blushes -
Liv: Donny? - smirks -
Don: Alright, sorry about that Ms. Morgan. But mind teaching me how to milk the cows?
Liv: Oh you city boys and your lack of farm experience - giggles - So you grab a stool then - sits on the stool - go near the udders of the cow. - talks to the cow - Now Mrs. Cow, will you be kind enough to let me get some Milky from you?
The cow Liv is close to just mooed uninterestingly and Liv began to gently pull and yank on the udders in a cautious motion.
Liv: Just be gentle when you yank Donny. The rougher you get, the cow will not give its milk. - giggles -
The cow was able to give only above half of the bucket of milk as Liv then gets another bucket for Don.
Liv: Now Donny, your turn to try and get Milky from that cow - smiles -
Don: Alright.
Don almost followed Liv's steps until he was able to sit on the stool to go near the cow udders.
Don: Alright, that is easy so far. Now, will you allow me to grab some milky?
Liv was downright laughing secretly recording Don milking the cow with no untoward incident. He was by all means more cautious but gentler with the udders.
Don: Easy does it. Let out your milk for Donny and Lovely Livvy....
Liv didn't hear what Don said as he was saying it to himself but when he turned back with a heavier bucket of milk, Liv turned off her phone.
Liv: Donny got back milky! - smiles -
Don: Indeed I do.
Liv: Sadly, I'm not much of a milk person but let's bottle these up and store properly.
Don: As they say, farm fresh is oh so better.
The day went on when they also cooperated to clean up the cow ranch, cleaning up the cow dung and setting them aside. They were exhausted after gathering up the fertilizer made of dung and fallen leaves as Don sat on the couch catching his breath. Liv then hands him a glass of water.
Liv: Water?
Don then takes the glass and thanks her after finishing the glass.
Liv: Awww how's your first day working in a farm? - smiles as she sits across him -
Don: Well, to be honest, I've never been to one. Again, - sighs - I held back from this fact but my family sees farms as not a means of progress. Their real estate company rather sees these plots of lands as potential townhouses
Liv: Townhouses? - worried -
Don: Well sadly, to real estate companies, farmlands are better used since farming is seen as "backward" and not fitting for progress.
Liv: Really? And... - sad voice - do you believe in that too?
Don: Well, no. The Philippines was actually an agricultural land but somehow the ruling elite, real estate would rather turn these lands into subdivisions because farming isn't as "profitable"
Liv: Oh no...
Don: That and as it was being told to us back in University, even farming is about to be a dying craft because ....
Liv: Hey, - puts her hands on his - you felt it earlier. Still think it is a dying enterprise?
Don: Well, sadly, my parents are stuck in "that" side of the world. I would have almost been in that same world if not for that degree of freedom. Also, had I not been freed, - smiled - I would not have met my mentor, new friends, and you.
Liv: Aww Donny. But really, have you told your parents about this?
Don: No. Remember, they don't even know I signed with a wrestling company again.
Liv: Donny.... well, they will find out sooner or later. No more lies please.
Liv makes that appeal with all empathy and her puppy eyes staring into Don's soul. Don then breathes and sighs.
Don: There will be a time for that. Alright?
Liv then knew that Don is stubborn to keep up the facade then cheers him up and both then saw that heavy rain suddenly hit the Wonderland Ranch.
Don groans as Liv then was sad.
Liv: We got rained in - pouts -
Don: Well, we can go...
Liv: No Donny! It will be hard to drive with these rains. Stay.....
Don then felt tired and realized that he has to take up Liv's offer to stay in for the night.
Liv: Don't worry, you can stay in my room but I got a cot just for you Donny - smiles -
Don then thanks her with a smile.
Don: Thanks Liv...I mean, G.
Liv: - blushes and melts - no problem Do....Pat.
Don: Feels weird you call me by my first name.
Liv: Hey, you call me G or Gionna. Seems fair I return the favor by calling you P or Pat
Don: P huh? - chuckles -
Liv: You call me G, I call you P.
Don: Anything you like - smiles -
The two then rested up and stayed in for the night due to the heavy rains. Liv then realized that the cot will not be as comfortable and the bed was more than ample to fit both her and Don.
Don came in with his sleep wear of a light shirt and jersey shorts and was ready to lay on the cot when Liv then tells him.
Liv: Donny, you can place your stuff on the cot. Mind if you... - blushes - sleep beside me?
Don was blushing and surprised
Don: Are...you...sure G? This might be odd given that...
Liv: You're a friend Pat. Please? - sad puppy eyes and pouting followed -
Don had no choice but to give in.
Don: Alright, you win Gionna - smiles -
Don then laid down beside Gionna but both were facing against one another with a pillow wall between them.
Don: So uhh... goodnight Gionna
Liv: Goodnight Patricio - smiles -
Both then tried to go to sleep with Liv turning in first. Don then was tossing and turning. The rain then had some thunder in it, which startled and caused Liv to have some slight night terror and wimpering. Don was worried at his friend's rustling about and as if on instinct, Liv then sleepily wraps Don in her arms. Don tries to loosen the grip but Liv then wraps tighter and sleepily talks
Liv; - sleep talking - Don't leave.....
Don knew what had to be done and hugged her back, not as tight but as reassurance. Liv progressively calmed and had a smile in her lips. Don and Liv slept in each other's arms as friends as the heavy rains with some thunder went on in the Wonderland Ranch.
