Chapter 2

Over the next few days, I spent most of my time training and avoiding both John and Matt during the day. Randy stopped questioning me every morning as to where I was the night before. If he ever found out the truth, I would be one dead Diva. Randy was scheduled to head back to St. Louis the day before me as I had a radio interview to do.

Randy, Matt, Jeff and Beth all left for the airport early Tuesday morning and I found myself wondering the halls. I couldn't sleep as I would see both Matt and John as soon as I closed my eyes. I headed over to the hotel restaurant and ordered a small breakfast. As I sat there and ate, John walked over to me and took a seat.

"There's my girl. How was last night?" John asked.

"It was ok. I didn't stay at the club very long." I answered.

"What's wrong?" John asked.

"Nothing. Just a little tired. I kept tossing and turning." I answered.

"Well, tonight you'll sleep better." John responded.

"Oh really? And why is that?" I asked.

"Because you will be in my arms tonight." John answered as he winked at me.

I couldn't help but smile at him. If only Randy knew what his best friend was doing to his little sister. He would kill him for sure. Randy has this thing that no one he knows or works with is allowed to date me or anything remotely close to it. I of course couldn't care less about Randy's rules. I also didn't let it bother me that John was 6 years older than me.

That night after John and I had finished having sex, I rolled over to look at the time and John pulled me back towards him and held me close. Little did we know that this trip to Hawaii was going to cause more trouble than pleasure.

As the weeks passed, John and I remained in constant contact with each other. When we were traveling together, I arranged for my own room away from Randy and spent every night in John's arms. Randy was starting to get suspicious about John's and my behaivor, but didn't say anything to either of us. It wasn't until one night, that everything seemed to be going as planned.

"Hello." I answered my phone at 2 am.

"Kayla, it's Randy. Sam's in labor. Meet us at the hospital." Randy stated.

"Ok. On my way." I responded.

"What's going on?" John asked from the other side of me.

"Sam's in labor. We need to get to the hospital." I answered as I finished getting dressed.

"Ok. I'm sure that he will be calling me soon. He know's I'm in town but doesn't know that I am staying with you. And that would be him calling." John stated as he picked up his phone. "Hello."

"Sam's in labor. See if Kayla can swing by and bring you to the hospital." Randy stated.

"Ok. I'll give her a call." John repsonded before hanging up.

John and I headed towards the hospital and soon saw my parents and Sam's parents sitting in the waiting room. I gave my mom and dad a hug before leaving to see Sam and Randy. John followed behind me. Randy and Sam had asked us to be here when the baby was born and to be her God-parents.

As the hours passed, Sam's labor progressed slowly but surely. I kept going back and forth between Sam's room and the waiting room updating everyone there. My younger brother, Nathan, finally arrived after getting off work. It was early morning and Randy and John had fallen asleep in chairs while I helped coach Sam through the contractions.

"Kayla, I think it's time to push." Sam stated.

"Ok. Randy wake up." I responded.

"Huh, what?" Randy asked.

"Sam says it's time to push." I answered as I left the room to get a nurse.

After being checked out, the nurse called for the doctor on call and had everything in the room set up. John headed out the waiting room while I was allowed and requested to stay in the room for the birth. Randy stood on one side of his wife and I stood on the other side.

Sam pushed for just over an hour before the doctor told her that the baby would be here after one more big push. Within moments we all heard the cries of a newborn baby fill the room. I had tears in my eyes as did Randy and Sam. Once the baby was cleaned up a nurse brought her over to Sam and Randy.

"Congratulations, it's a perfectly healthy baby girl." the nurse stated.

"Come over and meet your niece." Randy told me.

Randy placed my niece in my arms as I sat down in a chair. She was so tiny, yet so big. Sam and Randy exchanged smiles as I held the newest member of the Orton family. Randy took a few pictures with my camera before taking his daughter back. I then took some of them hold her before going to the waiting room with Randy.

"We have a perfect and healthy baby girl." Randy announced. "She weighs 7lbs 3 ozs and is 20 inches long."

"Congratulations, son." our dad stated.

"Thanks dad." Randy repsonded.

"Does our granddaughter have a name yet?" our mom asked.

"Of course she does, but Sam made me promise to let her tell everyone." Randy answered. "You should be able to see them in a little while.

After Randy headed back to check on his new family, John and I snuck downstairs to get something to drink and eat. I had started to feel light headed and nauseous while in the delivery room. I ate a bagel with peanut butter and jam while John ate some panckes, bacon and eggs.

"Are you feeling ok?" John asked.

"I'll be fine. I was a little light headed and nauseous before, but now that I ate something I will be ok." I answered.

"Ok. Let me know if you start feeling sick again and I can take you home." John responded.

"I will." I answered.

Once we were finished eating, we headed back up and just in time for everyone to meet the baby and find out what her name is. As we all crowded into the private recovery room, Randy closed the door before revealing his daughter's name.

"We would all like you to meet, Alanna Marie Orton." Sam announced.

"That is a very pretty name." I responded as I hugged my brother.

While Alanna was being passed around, I started to feel light headed again. John noticed the look on my face as did Randy. John helped me sit down in a chair. Randy walked over to me and knelt down.

"Are you ok?" Randy asked.

"I feel a little light headed." I answered.

"How long have you been feeling like that?" Randy asked.

"Twice today. This time it's a little worse. I'll be ok once I get some more sleep. I think it might be the sterilized air in the hospital." I answered.

"Ok. John, can you take her home and I will take you back to the hotel on my way home tonight?" Randy asked.

"Sure." John answered.

John did what he was told to do and took me home. Once we got inside the house, John made sure that I went right to bed and even curled up with me. We must have been more tired that we thought as we both slept through Randy calling both our phones. When I woke up, I looked at the clock and it was almost 7pm. We ate a quick dinner and watched some TV before calling Randy back. We figured that he went home and fell asleep. John and I headed back upstairs and watched TV while laying on the bed.
