Chapter 8:

Randy was walking sadly at the arena in Manchester, England. He wanted to come home to his small family and yet he was here entertaining crowds thousand miles away, suddenly he heard small footsteps approaching and thinking that it was just John's son he turned and was shocked to see a grinning Ivan running towards him.

"'Dy!" the boy called as he jumped into the waiting arms of the wrestler.

Randy smiled back as he hugged his son tighter, "Hey bub, what are you doing here?" he asked as he looked at his son's face.

Ivan laughed, "Silly 'Dy, it's already summer break and since you cannot go home for another two weeks poppa said that we'll go to you instead." He revealed as he hugged the man he is now learning to be the closest thing he could ever have as a father. "I miss you 'Dy" he stated.

"I miss you too bub," Randy replied, "So where's your poppa?" he asked.

Ivan pointed down the hallway, "Poppa's talkin' to the tall man with a big nose." He replied as Randy excitedly walked towards where Ivan pointed Evan and Hunter were and indeed saw the two in a hushed heated conversation.

"What's the matter?" Randy asked not putting his son down as he looked back and forth between his mentor and his boyfriend.

Evan glanced at him and stated, "Hunter is insisting for me to sign a contract once again." He revealed.

Randy frowned, "Why would you do that Paul?" he asked as he looked at his mentor.

Hunter looked at Randy then to the little boy on his arms before turning to Evan, "Everyone is clamoring for Evan Bourne, and our highfliers are dwindling down. Only a handful are left that are considered Master of the Skies and yet Evan is not wanting a contract." He hissed.

"I can't Paul, I have to think what is best for my son, so I'm sorry if I'm not rushing to sign those papers." Evan explained with a roll of his eyes.

Hunter frowned, "Son? I thought…" he stalled as he looked back and forth between the ex-lovers that everyone thought were going to make it forever after. "…didn't you two broke-up?" he asked baffled.

Randy hissed loudly as Evan averted his gaze baffling the COO more, "What did I miss?" he asked

But before either men can answer Kelly saw the three and the little boy who was looking at the three men curiously as he was being carried by his father, "Ivan!" she called as she rushed towards them, "hi baby, can you come with Aunt Kelly first?" she asked.

Ivan immediately nodded as he asked to be placed down so he can come with the alluring diva and asked about his favorite cousins as they went down on the hallway once again.

"Okay can you two now explain?" Hunter demanded.

Evan sighed as he approached Randy who immediately held him in his arms, "We're back together and Ivan, he's our son." Randy revealed. "He just doesn't know that I am his daddy." He continued, "He just thinks I am his father's boyfriend." He ended.

Hunter nodded before turning to Evan, "How old is that boy?" he asked.

"Eight, he just turned eight two months ago. I was still active at the ring when I was pregnant with him." Evan revealed, "So you see why I can't go back?" he asked. "I need to be there for my son and my ranch. Even though I am dying for another run inside the ring, I can't." he explained.

Hunter frowned but nodded in understanding, "So when's the wedding?" he asked the couple.

Evan looked up at his boyfriend before turning to the former wrestler, "Soon, maybe." He answered.

"After Ivan knows he is an Orton, we'll make it official." Randy replied as he kissed his boyfriend, "So can we go? I want to be with my son for awhile." He revealed.

Hunter nodded and watched the couple make their way towards the locker rooms were and smiled, "I can still believe in happy endings Steph." He whispered before he made his way towards his office.

It already have been days since Evan and Ivan joined Randy on the road, they spent their days touring different cities, enjoying it like any other tourist-like family. Randy was happier whenever he returned after having matches or cutting promos, because once he stepped through the gorilla Ivan would hug him tightly before the boy would rush down towards where the other kids were playing.

Randy felt like that he already have everything he could ever ask for, Evan always made his way unconsciously inside his arms, their son always spent time with him and still being the energetic eight year old boy that he is. But even though his life was once again peaceful Randy knew that he is still not completely at peace, not when he was still stalking around Evan and their son.
