So I've written – deleted – and re-written this chapter multiple times, nothing seemed to be blending good enough for me. But I have been thinking about it for a couple days now, and I finally think that I have it! :)
So here's a little run-down, I skipped a couple months in the story. Why you ask? In all honesty I don't know why, it just seemed like the thing to do...and I didn't want my chapters to get too repetitive with Randy and Maria almost having their little moment, and then something ruins it. And also Randy is going to be having Alanna on the road with him also, so that made more sense..to me anyway.
So Mickie is now five months pregnant, and Alanna has already turned two. Hope I don't confuse anyone too much, but if I do then you know where to reach me!
"I wish that I didn't need you so bad, your face just won't go away."
=0oo0=
Life on the road has always been hectic for me, life on the road with a two-year-old running around is a bit more hectic than I would like it to be, but I wouldn't trade any of it for anything. It took her a while but Alanna was finally getting used to the 5 AM flights, and taking her over to John and Mickie's when I had interviews or something to do.
Everyone seemed to like having her around, she never really got in the way at the gym, mostly because the hotel let me put her playpen in one of the corners of their gyms. Matt and Ted always took her to the mall, I think it's to pick up girls, but they are determined to make me think otherwise. They probably don't realize this, but two guys with a baby walking around the mall can make people think things...but I'm not judging anyone.
John and Mickie were getting along great, she was five months pregnant, now don't tell her I told you – but she's huge! She eats more than John and I combined, and I have a gut feeling that she is not just having one kid, if you know what I mean. I haven't thought of any names yet, I've obviously been a bit to preoccupied to think about those things, but if it comes down to the last minute Randall Keith Cena has a really nice ring to it.
Just kidding, I know that Micks would never let that one happen. She had finally told everyone else backstage that she was pregnant about a month ago, mostly due to the name's she got called by Michelle and Layla, sometimes I just wanted to punt those two in the head.
I hear from Maria every now and then, she's been busy with filming the Celebrity Apprentice and she has apparently been working on a album that's due to come out sometime in the next few months. We usually just text back and forth throughout the day, she mostly asks about Alanna and how she's been taking to being on the road so much now. I tell her that she is fine, but every now and then she'll ask about her mom...I still don't know how I'm going to tackle that subject.
I had to sit next to Nemeth at a inter-promotional autograph signing last month, I think I had him shaking in his boots the entire time. Especially when one of the fans asked what really gets me into 'Viper mode', and I kindly answered, "People who hurt my friends."
"Here she comes again, like good medicine..."
I run into my kitchen and pick up my BlackBerry, "Hello?"
"Randy! Oh my gosh it's been forever since I've heard your voice, how have you been?"
I smile and walk back into my bedroom, "I've been pretty good, just been hanging around in my hotel room with Alanna."
"Oh...how has she been?"
"She's been great, it's taken her a while to adjust to the early morning flights though." I sigh and look over to where she is sleeping on her little cot, "She asks about Samantha a lot, it rips my heart out to lie and tell her that mommy will be back soon."
"Yeah, I guess it will take her a while...but you have the support of all of us, if that means anything to you."
"It means a lot to me Maria, thanks."
"Anytime...listen can I ask you a favor?"
"Of course, what's up?"
She sighed, "I hope it's not too much trouble, but can I e-mail you a demo of my single?"
"M – me? Are you sure?"
"Yes, I know that you are the type of person that will tell me the straight up truth about how you feel about something...and that's what I need on this."
I bit down on my lip, "Yeah, you got my e-mail address so just send it on over and I'll let you know what I think."
"Okay great! I actually have a meeting thing I need to be at, but if you could just leave me a message and I'll call you back as soon as I can?"
"Sounds like a plan...talk to you later."
After we hung up I walk over to my laptop and logged into my e-mail account, after a few minutes of waiting my computer beeped meaning that I had a new message the subject line read 'Fantasy Demo – Maria Kanellis, you better like it Orton! =)'.
I laughed and waited for my computer to download the file, soon enough I heard the sound of a guitar fill the room...
I'm your whisper in the wind
I will kiss every inch of your tender skin
Sending chills up and down your spine
Mesmerized...now you are mine
I'll come to you in your dreams
A ghost to scare your fears
Love will be on the way
Green sparkles in your eyes
See the desire between you and I
This song can't be about me...can it?
Fantasy, only love can save me now
Fantasy, let me be your fantasy
Supernatural love with a superstar kiss
Once upon a time our love was bliss
Fantasy, let me be your fantasy, fantasy
This is my battle, I'm already in heaven
I am a goddess
This is the dream, my love is immortal
In this fight, I am unstoppable
Now I might be digging too far into this, I mean it is just a song...a song that she probably wrote herself that happens to describe how I hope she feels about me. And if that is so, why can't she just say it to my face?
I'll come to you in your dreams
A ghost to scare your fears
Love will be on the way
Green sparkles in your eyes
See the desire between you and I
This song had to be about me! 'Green sparkles in your eyes...", I remember that week she stayed over at my house, John and Mickie were upstairs taking their usual afternoon nap.
Alanna and I were playing arts and crafts on the kitchen table while Maria was upstairs taking a nap, or shower – I really don't remember what exactly she was doing. Alanna had all these sparkles laying over the table and I was helping her glue them onto pieces of paper, being the joker that she is she decided that it would be funny to put some glue and green sparkles around my eyes.
Maria had walked downstairs at that very moment and the way we looked at each other made me feel complete again.
But of course John had to come in and ruin the moment by calling me a drag queen.
Fantasy, only love can save me now
Fantasy, let me be your fantasy
Supernatural love with a superstar kiss
Once upon a time our love was bliss
Fantasy, let me be your fantasy, fantasy
Maybe this is a sign...a sign that I need to man up and make my damn move already.

:-/, Sorry it took forever to get this baby posted, I had work, then when I would work on this story I would get stuck after like two paragraphs! D: I hope it didn't suck too much.
I don't know if I have already said this but if you haven't you need to get Maria's EP, 'Seven Sins' (That's where I got this song.)
on iTunes! Her voice is amazing and you won't regret it! I promise! :D Anyway I'll post the video over on my profile.
Like I said I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter...I promise I won't take forever getting my chapters posted anymore. [Or at least I'll try not to.] Now you know what to do!
Review, favorite, alert, and add me! :D
And MAJOR MAJOR shout-out to Shelly, she really helped me out with this chapter! :D
Oh, and if you have any names for Mickie and John's baby, leave me your ideas in the review! Or send it to me in a message! :)
– Cristi.
