It had been four days since Cody hadn't shown up for Raw, but he had made up for it by his appearance on SmackDown. It was in a three man vs. three man tag team match – Sheamus, Randy Orton, and Big Show vs. Daniel Bryan, The Miz, and Cody. But Cody wasn't on his game that night, running away from Big Show and getting his ass kicked by his ex-lover Randy. Cody really couldn't blame him. He could see the hurt and confusion in Randy's eyes, and he knew that they needed to talk.

Currently, Cody was on the run from Paul. He knew that he had pushed the other man a little too far, and that it didn't make it any better that he was running. If there was ever one rule in a fight, it was to never show your opponent how scared you were. Well, Cody had failed at that. Quickly, he turned into the private locker room that he had once shared with Randy and Teddy, locking the door behind him. And with that, he slid down the door and let the tears fall for the first time. Not ten seconds later, there was a knock on the door.

For a minute, he was afraid. But then he heard Randy's voice, and there was no malice in it. Just concern. Quickly, Cody scrubbed at his eyes and stood up. He unlocked and opened the door, not surprised when Randy stormed in without any further invitation. Even if he was concerned, he looked at Cody with a certain hardness that made him want to break. It only took him a few seconds to do just that. The tears came again, and hesitantly, he threw himself at Randy. Even more hesitantly, Randy's arms wrapped around him.

"T-T-Teddy c-called me. He wanted to check on me, and I h-hung up on him." Cody stuttered out, just know realizing what had happened. What if Ted wanted to reconcile?

"It's… OK, baby. I'm sure that he didn't take it too personally. He's probably just worried about you… and probably even more worried now…" Randy trailed off, knowing he wasn't making the other man feel any better.

"Exactly!" Cody cried. "That's why he left us! That's why he left me! I'm a horrible person."

"You're not horrible…"

"Yes I am!" Cody started to sob into the older man's chest.

Carefully, Randy led him to sit down on the bench. Even if he wasn't technically still with the other man, he stroked the smaller man's hair slowly. It was so nice to feel the familiar weight back in his arms, even if it had only been three days. The only thing that would make this better was if Ted was there with them. But that was currently what was making his Coddles so upset. The blond had called him, and he had treated him like scum. Slowly, Cody started to calm down.

"You feel better now, love?" Randy asked.

"I feel better with you here with me. It was a mistake to make you leave." Cody buried his head in the man's neck. "I love you so much. I just… I miss our Teddybear."

"I know, baby, I know." Randy started to stroke his hair again. "Listen, we'll talk to him. We'll find him and sort all of this out. I don't care if he doesn't want to be found, or whatever other shit he said, he belongs with us."

"You really mean that, Randy?"

"I do."

OOOO

Ted sat on the bench out in catering with Daylee, who had a new nail polish in her hands. She handed the bottle over to Teddy, who had agreed to paint her toe nails because she couldn't reach them. Due to an unfortunate accident, Daylee would be in a knee brace for the next three months. Carefully, Ted covered her nails with the first coat of the bright pink polish. Daylee watched him, curious. He was never this quiet. She wondered how to get to the bottom of this without seeming like she was prying…

"Uncle Teddy?" Daylee asked sweetly.

"What is it, honey-bear?" Ted asked, not meeting her eyes.

"You seem a little sad." Daylee said honestly. "Do you want to talk about it? It always makes me feel better when I talk to Daddy and Papa about what's on my mind."

Ted forced a little smile. "I just… I just miss your Uncle Randy and Uncle Cody, that's all."

"We miss you too, Teddybear." Ted turned around just in time to catch Randy Orton with a heartbroken Cody Rhodes, his lower lip quivering as he tried to hold back a second round of tears. "Why don't you come home with us?"

OOOO
