Chapter 10 -
Grace's P.O.V.
I opened my eyes seeing someone come down on the harness. I got a good look and realized it was Ted.
"No Ted don't come down here, it isn't safe."
"I'm getting you out of here. We have a son to raise and I intend on us raising him together."
"No don't risk it baby, if something happens with us both down here then he won't have any parents."
"I'M NOT LEAVING YOU DOWN HERE GRACE. I just got you to be mine and I'm not ready to give up." He finally was all the way down. He leaned down to where I am at and kissed me.
"By the way, this is one proud daddy. Mommy did a good job, he is beautiful. Now come on Grace lets get out of here." He helped me stand up and he still had the harness on and he wrapped his arms around me and let them know it was alright to start pulling us up. Half way up we started falling back down and all of a sudden we stopped. Mid air hanging.
"We need more people to help. The rope is giving." We heard a bunch of commotion and we started rising up again a little bit later. We finally made it to the top and fresh air is so nice. I seen a bunch of people that had helped pull us to safety, amongst them were Cody, Katelyn and Randy. Randy walked over to me and gave me the biggest hug he has ever given me.
"I'm glad you're safe." He said to me and he looked over at Ted.
"And you have my deepest respect for getting her out of there. By the way, there is a little guy over in that ambulance down there that wants his parents."
Ted helped me over to the ambulance and I looked down at our son.
"God he is beautiful." I said out loud.
"Yes he is and you did a great job." Ted said kissing my forehead. An EMT had me sit down and he checked my vitals.
"Ok we are gonna take you guys to the hospital." The EMT said.
"Ok lets go."
As the EMT started loading us in an after shock hit and more of the Staples center collapsed and Randy was on his way down off of it. I got out of the ambulance and started running over to the collapsed building.
"RANDY." I screamed and Ted came up behind me trying to pull me back. I was crying and then I realized Kate and Cody were up there to and I lost it even more. I tried to get Ted off of me, my goal was getting to them.
"Ted let go, we got to help them."
"Baby there isn't anything you can do, its not safe for you to be up there."
"But Randy, Cody and Kate were all up there, we gotta save them." I said balling my eyes out.
"Baby let the rescue workers handle it, they will get the help they need and deserve. Lets take our son to the hospital and get him evaluated further, as well as you. I want to make sure your not gonna fall apart on me. When they get him help, he will be coming to the same hospital you're going to be at."
He eventually got me back into the ambulance and we rode to the hospital.
-ON THE WAY-
"Well I guess we have Landon here now." I said.
"Yea now he just needs his full name. What do you think we should call him?"
"How about Landon Chase Orton DiBiase?"
"Sounds good to me baby."
After we had been at the hospital for a long time, I was getting tired of not hearing anything about Randy, Kate or Cody and I went down to the emergency room. I heard an ambulance coming in with its sirens on. I ran to where they were coming in and seen it was Randy on the stretcher they were bringing in. His eyes were closed and I feared the worst.
"Grace." I heard his voice say lightly. I ran over to him.
"Yes I'm here Randy."
"Call Sam for me, I'm not sure whats gonna happen with me now."
"What do you mean?"
"He hit his head pretty hard ma'am."
"You listen to me Randall Keith Orton, you're gonna fight. You have a little girl to fight for, a wife and your family. Don't you dare give up, you wouldn't let me and I'm not letting you." I said with tears running down my face.
"Just please call her."
"I will Randy, just please fight."
"I will."
They wheeled him off to be evaluated and Ted came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me.
"He will be alright baby."
"I know, but that still doesn't stop me from worrying. I want to know how Katelyn and Cody are too."
"We will find out soon, that I'm sure."
"I have to call Sam and my parents."
"Baby you call Sam and I'll call your parents for you."
"Thank you."
I went over to the payphone and picked it up and dialed Sam's number. She answered after a few rings.
"Sam, its Grace."
"Hey Grace, I seen about the earthquake. I tried calling Randy but he doesn't answer and I know he is in L.A."
"Yea he is, so am I."
"Grace you weren't suppose to travel."
"I know but Sam there is a problem..." I went on and filled her in on everything that happened. Once I got off the phone Ted came up to me.
"I called your parents and they are on their way."
"So is Sam." I yawned and exhaustion was setting back in.
"Come on Grace, lets go up to maternity you need to get some sleep."
"I can't sleep when they are on my mind."
"Baby you need to try. Can you try for me, if something happens I will let you know right away."
"Promise?"
"I promise." We went back up to maternity and Ted fed Landon as I drifted off to sleep.
Ted's P.O.V.
I was happy Grace finally got some sleep. This little boy of mine is beautiful and I can't believe he was born in a disaster. I was rocking him to sleep when Elaine popped her head in the room, Bob was right behind her. I let them come in and Grace didn't stir at all. I handed Elaine her grandson.
"He is a dear, you see him Bob?"
"Yes I see him. How is she doing?"
"Worried! Worried about Randy, Katelyn and Cody."
"Have they found Kate and Cody yet?" Elaine asked.
"No not yet. Have you been down to check on Randy yet?"
"Yea we were there first he is awake but I don't know whats gonna happen. They say he has a pretty bad concussion."
"I think Grace feels guilty about everything."
"Why would she?"
"Cause he got hurt helping her."
"So whats his name?" Elaine asked.
"We have decided to name him, Landon Chase Orton DiBiase."
