Hey guys! You got your chapter early! I'd feel horrible if I had left it till tomorrow. I don't have the next chapter written yet but I'll try as hard as I can to get it up at the usual time. Please Review!

The Usual: I don't own WWE. The McMahon Family does.

Chapter 9: The Orton Name


"Hey Randy. What's up?" Hunter said, interrupting quite loudly.

I heard some shuffling and moving from inside the party room. This can't happen on Ted. Not now.

"What do you want Randy?" I snapped.

"I was right about LA. You did have sex with Ted." Randy pointed out angrily.

"That was the first time. The other was about an hour or two ago." Ted corrected.

"Two hours ago?!" Randy yelled. Security came and tried to restrain Randy from leaping at Ted. Instead, I slapped Randy's cheek, hard.

He flinched and stopped struggling. The security didn't loosen their grip though, for fear that he might suddenly break loose and hit someone else.

"I can't believe you're picking that over your own father, who brought you into this business. You should be grateful."

"I am grateful. I just don't get why you're reacting so bad, just because I had my first time with Ted. You're being the over-protective, guy-scaring father you promised you wouldn't be." I explained.

"I've told you before, you're only seventeen. You're still too young to have had the 's' word with Ted. And he's a few years older than you."

"I'm allowed to have sex with Ted if I want. The limit is sixteen. Last time I checked, seventeen was after sixteen, which makes me legal." I pointed out.

"Hey Hunter, what's happening?" Shawn asked as he joined the argument.

"Randy's after finding out that Kate-Lynn slept with Ted and they did the dirty and now Randy isn't happy. Basically he's playing the pissed off daddy card and Kate-Lynn is protecting the forbidden love herself and Teddy here have." Hunter explained, taking Shawn's Ben and Jerry's ice-cream.

"Why did you take my ice-cream? I was eating that." Shawn asked, trying to take it back.

"Because it's not just the verbal fighting. There's bitch slapping and security and everything. It's great." Hunter said as he filled his mouth full of ice-cream.

"Fine. Here's the deal." Randy started, calming down completely. Everyone was quiet, waiting for what Randy was going to say next.

"You're allowed to see Ted, but you're not allowed to be an Orton to do so. You're to drop the Orton name." Randy spat.

I heard the sound of Hunter's spoon hitting the tiles in shock.

"You mean she's just going to be Kate-Lynn nothing?" Shawn asked.

"That'll be awkward." Hunter agreed.

"Or maybe Ted and Kate-Lynn could just get married. Duh." Cody said, in a where-have-you-been tone of voice.

I froze. Ted and I get married?


Ted and I signed into our room at reception of the hotel and then took the lift up to the top floor.

Not one word was breathed while we were there. Things have been a bit tense ever since Cody suggested that Ted and I get married. I don't think he meant it seriously. I think it was just off the top of his head to calm the situation that was building at the time.

"Want to head out into town to eat or do you want to want to eat in the hotel?" I asked as I dumped my bag on the bed.

"We'll head out. We haven't went out on a date in a while." Ted said as he opened his own bag.

"I'm going to the shower. I'll be out in ten." I said and left for the shower. I had to escape the tension.


1 hour later: After explaining to Evan for the past hour that himself and the guys can't come to the party, he still didn't give up. They decided it would be good to have dinner out.

"Lighten up guys. What's the tension for?" Evan asked after he got the guys' beers and my red/white wine.

"Nothing. I just didn't think there's be more than just Ted and I." I said, taking a sip from my glass.

"Oh. You thought that you and Ted were going on an alone, kissy kissy type of date? Woopsie." John asked, and then laughed.

"I don't really know what I was expecting. I'll see you guys at the hotel." I said and downed the last of my drink.

"But we're only after getting here. Why are you going?" Chris (Jericho) asked.

"I'm tired. Besides, I'm the only girl here, which would disrupt a guys night out. I'll catch you later." I said and left the bar.

I stepped around everyone but my hand was caught.

"Aren't you too young to be in this bar?" a guy, who looked like he was in his late forties, asked. His breath smelled of cigarette smoke and drink.

"It has nothing to do with you." I said and tried to pry my hand free. His grip was too tight.

"Let me go." I told him, still trying to take my wrist away.

"I'd rather not. I have the key for the men's bathroom so we can have some privacy." He chuckled.

"I said let me go." I said, louder.

"What's going on here?" a guy asked, making his way over. Only as he was beside us, I saw that it was Dominic with Steven.

"This is none of your business." The guy with his hand at my wrist snapped.

"Yes it does. She's my girlfriend." Steven spoke up, stepping around Dominic and putting his arm around my shoulders.

"I'll get you next time." The guy said and left.

I hugged both guys tightly.

"Thank you. What are you doing here?" I asked after we had stepped out of the pub. The guys at the table thankfully didn't see the scene.

"Vacation. Plus, we heard you were staying nearby and decided to come and say hi." Steven said looping his arm through mine, and his other through Dominic's.

"That's sweet of you. I'm going to rent a DVD and then bring it back to the hotel room. Want to join me?" I asked.

"Depends on what we're watching." Dominic said.

"And New Moon isn't on DVD yet. We both seriously want to see Taylor Lautner stripping off his shirt."

"Make that three of us. I have my own little saying for that scene. Pause, rewind, play." We laughed.

Stepping into the rental store, we searched for a movie to bring back to the hotel.

"How about this?" Dominic asked, holding up Marley and Me.

"NO! That's too sad for me. Remember when we saw it in the cinema together? I was bawling." Steven cried.

"How about a scary movie? I've only seen the trailer of it but never got to see it." I said, holding up the case.

"I haven't either. We'll get that one." Dominic said and I went up to the counter.

"Yes miss?" A woman asked from the other side.

I handed her the case and she went to the back to get the DVD.

"Kate-Lynn! Look at this poster!" Steven called across the shop to me. I looked at the large poster beside him. Jacob Black shirtless.

"Buy it for yourself and Dominic." I replied.

"I can't. I don't trust myself. Especially not with him shirtless. He's too sexy." Steven said.

"True." I agreed.


We got back to the hotel room and I handed Dominic the DVD so I could get changed into my PJ's.

"Why is there a double bed in here?" Steven asked, kicking off his shoes and throwing himself onto the bed in question.

"I'm sharing my room." I answered, taking out my PJ bottoms and my big football shirt with my name printed on the back.

"With a certain someone?" He knew who I was sharing with.

"Yes." I replied shortly.

"Would that certain someone be Ted DiBiase Jr?" Dominic asked as he set the DVD case on the desk.

"Yeah." I confirmed.

"I didn't know you two were together." Steven commented as I threw the previous clothes I had on me on top of my bag.

"For over a week now." I answered.

"Didn't I tell you that they'd end up together on the road? I think you owe me a fiver my friend." Dominic said, holding his palm out to Steven.

"You guys were betting on me?" I questioned, pulling on my shirt.

"Of course. It's the best way to gamble without getting arrested." Dominic grinned.

"Thanks. Now I'm your source of entertainment." I rolled my eyes and switched out the lights. After clicking play, we settled into the movie.

Dominic sat in between myself and Steven. Every now and then, Steven and I would dive into Dominic's side out of fright. He'd laugh.

"It's official. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight." Steven announced as we ejected the DVD from the player and replaced it into the case.

"We'll email you soon. Text too." Steven said as himself and Dominic were about to leave.

"Sure." I smiled and they left. I climbed into bed and tried to sleep.

There was no chance of that.

Instead I woke up and started to read my book.

An hour later Ted walked in, completely sober.

"Hey." I greeted.

"Hi." Ted said shortly.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"What happened earlier? Why did you leave? You know we had no problem having you around." Ted asked, sitting down on the bed beside me.

"All you've done since you came back from TNA was hang around with me. You deserved some time with the guys without me." I pointed out.

"Have you thought that I might want to have been with you?" Ted questioned.

"Did you enjoy the time out with the guys?" I asked.

"No. I was completely zoned out. Cody actually sent me back here. The party's still going." Ted laughed.

I was quiet. Ted looked up and met my eye.

"Is Randy's request getting to you?" Ted asked knowingly.

"Yeah." I admitted.

"I know exactly what to do." Ted said and mooched through my bag. He took out a white tank and a white skirt with flats.

"Stick those on." Ted said and took out a black pair of jeans and a white shirt and then changed. I did the same.

After getting changed I brushed my hair and my teeth I stepped into the room. Ted looked gorgeous.

"Where are we going anyway?" I asked. Ted brought me in from the bathroom door to the main room.

"Depends." Ted said, searching his pockets.

"Depends on what?" I asked.

He finally found what he was looking for.

Slowly, he bent down on one knee in front of me.

Taking out a small velvet box, he opened it and produced a ring.

"Depends on if you'll marry me or not." he said, and I felt tears come to my eyes.

"What's your answer?" Ted asked. I dropped to my knees in front of him.

"Yes." I smiled and kissed him.

When we broke, Ted took the ring from the box and slipped it on my left hand. Perfect size.

I hugged him tightly and we then got to our feet.

"So where are we going?" I asked again.

"To get married of course."


We arrived at a 24 hour wedding chapel and went into the reception.

We were then admitted into the church area and the whole of Raw was in attendance.

So was the whole of the Orton family, including Randy, and Steven and Dominic too. The DiBiase's were there too, looking very proud of his son.

"How did Steven and Dominic know to come here?" I asked Ted.

"I borrowed your mobile." Ted said sheepishly, a small blush crawling onto his cheeks.

I smiled. He's too good.

The priest went through the whole procedure, the I do's, blah blah blah.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife." The priest announced.

We kissed and the audience cheered.

Ted broke and took my hand. He made a direct line towards Randy.

"Now it's official. Her surname isn't Orton anymore. She's a DiBiase."

"Fine. Now I've her off my burden's list." Randy snapped and left.

"Don't mind him love. He's just off. A lot of things have happened all at once for him. He'll be back to himself soon. Just give him a few strong beers." Mam reassured me.

"I hope so." I replied.

Ted kissed my forehead.

"Don't worry. Everything will sort itself out." Ted whispered into my ear.

I leaned my head against his chest, and hope him and mam were right.
