2 Hours Later
I hear Landon and Aiden fighting over what superstar they want to see next. It makes me laugh a little. I peer out the door and see that they are just two doors down from my locker room. Diane is trying to calm them down and tell them that they can see whoever they wanted. They have a bunch of merchandise in their small little arms.
I walk back into my locker room and sit down on the bench. I can't believe that I'm finally going to see my kids in front of me for the first time in six long years. I wanted to ask them so much, but I knew they would question. I jump back to reality when I hear small little knocks repeatedly.
I go to answer the door.
"Mommy look it's the new wrestler. He's the one that ruffled my hair after he won his match, he's SO COOL!" exclaims Landon.
"Yeah mommy, can we stay here for a little bit, he is my favorite wrestler in the world! He's like TOTALLY AWESOME!" Aiden is literally shouting to Diane who is 2 inches in front of him.
I can't help but laugh to myself. At least they think that I'm cool as a wrestler. I only wish I could tell them right then and there that I was their father, but imagine what that would do to them. God I wish this could be easier, I could just take them on the road with me and they can have a father that I knew I could be.
"Hey what are your guys names?" I ask them. They line up in a row like they are being called for roll call. It's honestly kind of funny.
"My name is Landon Michael, and this is my twin brother Aiden" he starts to say then leans into my ear and says "he is younger than me, but he doesn't say it counts because it's only by 6 minutes" I laugh a little. He then goes over to Destiny " and this is my twin sister Destiny Hope, she's older than me but only by 4 minutes" he finishes.
I look at them all and smile. "My name is Randy Orton, it's nice to meet you all" I say when Landon turns to Diane and says "Momma, can we go and get something to eat please."
"Hey, what do you say we all go out to dinner. I can go get my car and I can meet you guys for something to eat because I'm a little hungry myself" I replied without consulting Diane about it. I get a look of suspicion from Diane. I nod to her in reassurance that everything will be okay, I'm not going to try and pull anything in risk of every seeing my kids again.
"Yeah momma, please!" they all say in unison.
"Sure, I don't see a problem with that. It should be a lot of fun, but we have you ask Daddy first and see what he says" Diane replies.
It was almost on cue when Jim walked in on us all. He seemed to be happy. "Hey guys, how is everyone doing?"
"Good daddy! Randy asked us if we could all go out to dinner with him, can we go please please please please!" Landon and Aiden said to Jim. Destiny is next to her brothers giving Jim a puppy dog lip and batting her eyes. It was the most adorable thing I have seen in my life.
"Alright guys we can go, but everyone better be on their best behaviors understood?" Jim said as he lined up the triplets.
"Understood Daddy." They all reply in unison. I smile myself, I can't believe that they are letting me take everyone out for dinner. Usually I would ask before hand but I'm glad that I can do something with them all.
"Alright, I say we hit the Friendly's that is a few blocks away. I'll meet you guys there in about 20 minutes does that sound ok?"
"Sure we'll see you in a little bit, bye Randy" was the reply I got from Diane and Jim.
"Bye Randy, your the coolest person in the whole wide world. I bet we can beat you to the restaurant" Landon and Aiden say.
I laugh to myself while I kneel down so I'm eye level with the boys "I bet you can't. I say the loser has to buy dinner AND desert." I reply to the challenge of my two little munchkins.
"YOUR ON RANDY!" they reply in unison as they laugh.
I hold both of my hands out and they both give me a high five. They run out the door as I grab my gym bag and car keys. I hope this is the dinner goes good. Maybe then I can see them more often. Let's just hope everything runs smoothly.
