Prologue
It's been fifteen years now since Randy left the love of his life when she needed him the most he was just so young he didn't know how to handle the situation and he did the one thing he thought he'd never do he became his father. He was only eighteen years old he was too young to handle the situation when Lita told him she was pregnant he was scared and instead of being honest with her he left. He hated himself for leaving and he couldn't blame her if she hated him for it.
Randy remembers the day like it was yesterday he just got off the phone with the marine officer he went to see after he never got into college about being a marine and he got in, he was leaving for base as soon as he graduated high school. He wanted to tell Lita she was the only family that mattered to him and he still couldn't believe she was his wife. When Randy went home to tell Lita his news before he could say anything she blurted out she was pregnant he didn't know what to do or say so he just walked out.
Randy knows he should have gone back home that day but he just couldn't he wasn't ready to be a father and how could he leave for the marines with a baby on the way so he left, he drove his motor bike to his uncle's place in St Louis until he was to be called up. Just as he was getting ready to leave he thought about going back to Cameron but he just couldn't he didn't feel he had a right to not after walking out on his wife and unborn child.
When Randy signed up for the marines his plan was for Lita to go to college and he'd be there with her while he was on leave, he couldn't imagine leaving his child as well and he thought if something was to happen to him they wouldn't be able to survive so he did what he thought was right and left them so they wouldn't need him. So many times over the years he's tried to go back but he just couldn't he's thirty three now and not a day goes by when he doesn't think about his wife and child. Even though they hadn't been together for fifteen years they were still married he always expected the divorce papers to arrive but they never did and he hoped he still held his wife's heart. Randy left the marines after serving two tours in Iraq he left to take over his uncles garage after his uncle died five years ago.
After being back in the US for a few months Randy thought about going to see Lita and their child but he couldn't, he couldn't handle it if they hated him not that he could blame them what kind of person walks out they way he did. But now Randy knows he has to go back he has to at least try he can't live without his family anymore and he just hopes he can find a way back to them.
Lita couldn't believe it's been so long since she last saw Randy she always thought of him when it was the twins birthday they were turning fourteen today. She remembers the day she found out she was pregnant like it was yesterday and she was so nervous to tell Randy but Trish told her she was being silly that Randy would be happy about it, boy she couldn't have been more wrong she hasn't seen her husband since the moment she told him she was pregnant. Everyone thought she was stupid to marry Randy when she did, how many people get married junior year of high school but Lita knew they could make it, Randy was her everything since they were eleven years old when he moved to Cameron from St Louis. Lita knew the love they had was real even after all these years she still loved him she just wished he could be here to see their wonderful children.
When Randy left it broke Lita and it took her so long to even get out of bed but she knew she had to change the moment she ended up in hospital and nearly lost her babies, she still couldn't believe she gave birth to twins it was the last thing she expected. The day they were born was the greatest day of her life and she knew then they were the reason she made it through the heartache. Even after all these years Lita couldn't bring herself to divorce Randy, he was her kids father and she still loved him even though she knew she shouldn't he didn't deserve her love not after what he did but she just couldn't stop no matter how hard she tried she knew he would always hold her heart.
Ryan Matthew Orton and Kadie Marie Orton where born on the 18th of March 2001 and even though it was hard to raise twins when your only eighteen years old but she had the best friends anyone could ask for Trish, Jeff, Matt and Maria where with her from day one, it also helped that her mom moved in to help she didn't think she could have made it through the first few years without them. She still lived in the house her Nan bought for her and Randy when they got married she thought about moving so many time but she couldn't this was her home and she always thought one day Randy would make his way back to them.
Randy knew what he had to do and even though it was hard he decided to sell the auto garage in St Louis so he could move back to Cameron. After he sold it he bought an apartment in Cameron and put the rest of the money away, even though it hurt to sell the business he knew that's what his uncle would want him to do it was time for Randy to stop running and go home and get his family back.
Chapter 1
Randy didn't really know what to do he's been back in Cameron a couple of days now and he still couldn't bring himself to go to the house, he didn't even know if they still lived there he hoped they did but he couldn't blame her if she moved. He knew he had to go over there eventually he couldn't keep doing this he needed his family back. After sitting in his car the last thirty minutes he decided it was time to just knock what's the worst that could happen.
"Hi" Randy said a few moments after Lita opened the door, he couldn't believe it was her all he wanted was to hold her in his arms and never let go.
Lita couldn't say anything she couldn't believe this was happening and boy did he look good, he was good looking when they were in high school but now he was strong and rough looking, she'd never been so speechless. Why now after all these years why was he back now she couldn't believe it was him.
Before Lita had a chance to say anything Ryan and Kadie walked towards them. "Hi mom" Kadie said wondering who she was talking too.
"Mom we gonna go inside and watch TV" Ryan said as he kissed his mom on the cheek he could tell something was bothering her but thought it be best not to say anything.
Randy couldn't believe what he was seeing Lita had two children none of this was making any sense.
"What are you doing here" Lita asked as she walked outside to talk to Randy she didn't want the kids to hear what was going on.
"I needed to see you I need my family back but I see you've moved on I guess I'm too late." Randy sighed as he turned to walk away.
"What are you talking about" Lita asked none of this was making any sense.
"I just have to ask did we have a boy or girl" Randy asked it killed him knowing she must have moved on pretty quickly he assumed the boy was his as he was over six foot and the girl was quite short, must be the younger sister there mustn't be much of a gap between ages Randy thought.
"Oh we had one of each, I, we had twins" Lita said this wasn't the conversation she expected to have today.
"I we what" Randy said she had twins now he felt even worse how could he have left her to raise twins buy herself.
"Yeah we did they're fourteen years old and they are the best thing that's ever happened to me, what are you doing here Randy, why now after all these years" Lita asked she still couldn't believe this was happening after all these years.
"I needed to see you I need my family and I can't go another day without you, I know what I did was beyond wrong and I will understand if after I tell you the reasons I left, if you still never want to see me again but I need to explain myself" Randy cried this was harder than he thought.
"You need me, well isn't that nice, what about me Randy, what about what I want, you left me when I needed you the most and I never heard from you again for nearly fifteen years and you expect me to take you back with open arms like nothing happened. Well its not going to happen I'm not going to allow you to hurt me or our kids anymore I will tell them you're here in town and it will be their choice if they want to see you but don't expect too much. I would never have hurt you the way you hurt me you was my world but not anymore I have two children to think about" Lita yelled she tried to remain calm but she was just so angry at him.
"Li I'm so sorry please let me explain I never meant for this to happen I made some poor choices but not a day went by when I didn't think about you and our child it's what kept me alive" Randy cried as he walked towards her all he wanted was to hold her in his arms again.
"Don't Randy, just don't I think you should go" Lita cried as she stepped back she couldn't be too near him it hurt too much.
"Ok, Lita please come and see me and let me explain please if you never want to see me again after that I'll leave you alone please just give me a chance" Randy cried as he handed her his address he really hoped she would come but couldn't blame her if she didn't.
Lita didn't really know what to do so she just walked back inside the house she didn't want the kids to see her upset. So she tried to wipe the tears from her eyes.
"Mom who was the good looking man at the door" Kadie asked as Ryan laughed.
"Kids I need to tell you something, that, that man was, he, he's your father" Lita broke out as the tears came again this was so hard to explain.
"I knew it, I knew it was him" Ryan yelled he hated him what kind of man abandons his family.
"Oh gross I thought my dad was hot" Kadie gagged making everyone laugh.
"Ryan, Kadie if you want to get to know him, that's fine you disserve to get to know him, I'm sorry he wasn't in your life" Lita cried she never expected this day to ever come.
"Mama don't cry" Ryan said as he hugged his mom.
"Mom what was dad like" Kadie asked she never really asked about her dad but know he was here she wanted to know.
"Kadie what the hell, why do you even want to know, he left mom he left us and now he thinks he can come back after all these years and hurt you again well I ain't gonna let that happen" Ryan said as he got up and grabbed the address from the table.
"Ryan stop please don't do anything" Lita said she didn't want things to be like this.
"No mom he's not going to hurt you again" Ryan said as he stormed out.
Lita didn't really know what to do with everything that's about to happen she knew she had to go after Ryan, she didn't want anything bad to happen and she'd never seen her son so angry. Before Lita could even think about what she was going to do she heard Ryan's motor cross bike starting up.
"Kadie come on we've got to go after your brother" Lita said as she grabbed her car keys.
"Mom what's going to happen" Kadie asked as they was driving into town to Randy's place.
"I don't know we have to find him, I'm going to kill Jeff I told him Ryan was too young for a bike" Lita cried as she tried to find her son.
