Chapter 7

Randy looked at the woman he had always considered his sister and best friend. He didn't know what to say or think. Taylor looked amazing and happy. Mike seemed to be very attentive to her and he couldn't ask for more. Randy looked over at his wife and she just nodded her head.

"Taylor, Mike. I'm sorry for the way I treated your relationship and for the fact that I took a personal issue to the ring and hurt you badly. I miss talking to my best friend and having you around backstage." Randy stated as he pulled Taylor into a hug.

"Apology accepted." Taylor stated. "How about lunch at our house?"

"Sounds good. Where are you guys parked?" Randy asked.

"Over by Sears." Taylor answered.

"Same here. We'll follow you there." Kenzie responded.

Mike, Taylor, Randy and Kenzie walked out to their cars and headed towards Taylor's house. Mike wasn't sure if Randy was truly sincere with his apology, but for Taylor's sake he was going to make the most of it and try to get along with him. Once they were at the house, Mike helped Taylor out of the car and grabbed the bags from the back.

"Welcome to my house. Make yourselves at home." Taylor stated as they walked into the living room.

"You have a nice house." Kenzie responded.

"Thank you. I bought it before it was even finished being built. And I own it free and clear." Taylor stated.

"That's great. Is there anything I can help you with?" Kenzie asked.

"Well, we can head into the kitchen while Randy and Mike attempt to get along." Taylor answered.

"I told Randy that he was wrong for doing what he did to Mike and for telling you what to do. It took me a while to convince him that he was wrong and since then he has been trying to come up with a way to apologize to the both of you. Has he always been this stubborn?" Kenzie asked.

"He's an Orton. Stubborn should have been his middle name. But yes he is very stubborn, but the right person can usually persuade him to change his ways." Taylor answered as they started preparing lunch.

"Mike I really meant what I said at the mall." Randy stated as they sat in the living room.

"I appreciate that. Why do you hate me so much? And why didn't you want Taylor with me?" Mike asked.

"I blurred the lines between the show and real life and I figured that you were your in-ring character. I didn't want Taylor involved with you because of what happened with Maryse." Randy answered.

"What about Maryse?" Mike asked.

"You cheated on her, used her for your personal gain, physically hurt her." Randy answered.

"Randy, I don't know where you got your information from, but it was Maryse who cheated on me and used me to get to the top. I have a standing restraining order against her for harassment. And I never would lay a hand on a woman regardless of how angry I am. I love Taylor with all my heart. She makes me the person I really am. Sure we didn't plan the pregnancy, but we didn't stop it either. We were both scared at first, but now I can't wait until the day that our baby is born." Mike responded.

"Mike, I'm so sorry. I didn't know." Randy stated.

"It's ok. If you are truly sincere, then why don't we try to be friendly for Taylor's sake." Mike responded as he and Randy shook hands.

"Lunch is ready." Taylor stated from the doorway.

As they sat down to lunch, they talked about the last five months and what has been going on. Mike and Taylor opted not to watch RAW or Smackdown while they were on leave. Randy told Taylor that Ted was seeing someone from back home and Taylor was happy for him. After they ate, Mike put a hand on Taylor's stomach as the baby was kicking her.

"Do you know what you are having yet?" Kenzie asked.

"Yes we do know what the baby is." Taylor answered as she looked at Mike.

"Tell them." Mike stated as he smiled at Taylor.

"We are having a girl." Taylor announced.

"Congratulations!" Randy stated.

"That's great!" Kenzie responded. "Do you have a theme picked out for her?"

"Not yet. We just found out. We've barely just bought the furniture for her nursery." Taylor stated.

"Mike, can I steal your wife for a few hours?" Kenzie asked.

"What are you planning?" Randy asked his wife.

"I want to go shopping with Taylor. Just us girls." Kenzie answered.

"I guess. As long as everyone is back in time for dinner." Mike answered.

Once the girls were gone, Randy looked over at Mike. Randy was confused about his wife and Taylor going shopping for a second time that day. But while the girls were gone, Mike told Randy his plans for dinner. Randy thought it was a great idea and they headed to the grocery store. The guys got back before Kenzie and Taylor and started preparing a surprise dinner for the girls.

Meanwhile Kenzie and Taylor were at the mall looking at baby themes. Taylor took pictures of the themes and sent them to Mike for his opinion. Mike and Taylor both agreed on a Princess theme from JC Penney's and Taylor bought all the items to go with the room. Once they were done shopping they headed back to Taylor's house. All was quiet when they walked into the house, and Taylor looked over at Kenzie.

"Should we be scared that it's this quiet?" Kenzie asked.

"I don't think we have anything to worry about. My house is still in one piece." Taylor answered. "Let's head out back. Mike loves the backyard and the grill."

The girls looked in the backyard and Randy and Mike were standing at the grill with a beer in their hands. Taylor and Kenzie walked over to them. Mike set down his beer and wrapped his arms around Taylor and put his hands on their baby. Randy wrapped an arm around Kenzie and kissed her forehead.

After dinner, Randy and Kenzie headed out and Taylor headed up to their bedroom to lay down. Mike locked up the house and joined Taylor upstairs. Taylor was resting on the bed reading through a book of baby names. Mike smiled as he knew that they would need to pick out a name soon.

"What names do you have picked out so far?" Mike asked as he rubbed her stomach.

"Well, I have Audrey, Olivia, Adalyn, Michaela, Alexis and Miley." Taylor answered.

"I like Miley and Olivia. What about a middle name?" Mike asked.

"Miley Grace, Olivia Taylor are all I can think of." Taylor answered.

"Well we have two options and a few months to go. Get some rest. I'm going to go clean up from dinner." Mike responded as he kissed Taylor and then kissed her stomach.
