CHAPTER X - AN EXPECTED SURPRISE

Charli started tossing up names as to who it could be. Tonight was no different to last week, only last week was roses and this week was lilies. Someone kept dropping anonymous letters and bouquets of flowers at the Women's locker room door addressed for Charli Hilton and it wasn't Randy Orton, her boyfriend.

Chris Jericho? No, he's Randy's best mate and he would never do anything to jeopardise that. Shelton Bejamin? Ever since he got to RAW he's had an eye for me, but he's not the flowers type of guy.

Charli was stuck. She had no idea who it could be. She kept thinking as she made her way towards Eric Bischoff's office.

"Come in" Eric said as he heard the knock on the door.

"Well, if it isn't our little Diva Search winner" Eric said as Charli emerged through the door "What can I do for you."

Eric had cooled off Charli and Randy for 'altering' the RAW script after Randy had saved Eric from Triple H a few weeks ago on RAW. Everything was good when you were on the GM's good side.

"Well, I need to ask a favour" Charli said cautiously.

"Yes.." Eric replied as he raised an eyebrow at her.

"I was wondering if I could have a bit of air time for next week's RAW" Charli asked, bracing herself for the worst.

"Why" Eric asked curiously as he looked Charli in the eye.

Charli cleared her throat "There's an important announcement I need to make."

"How important" Eric asked suspiciously.

"Life changing" Charli replied quickly.

"Fine" Eric said as he relaxed back in his office chair "But I can only give you 10 minutes max."

Charli smiled "That's all I'll need."

Butterflies were invading Charli's stomach as she got up to head to the ring the following week on RAW.

"You ready" Stacey Keibler asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be" Charli said, not completely confident in her words.

"Trust me" Stacey said as she hugged Charli lightly "It'll all work out for you."

Charli smiled back at her fellow RAW Diva as they separated from their hug. Charli then took a deep breath and headed for the ring. However, she was stalled on her way by a certain 'legend killer'.

"Charli" a voice called from her, and when she turned around she saw Randy Orton quickly walking towards her.

Randy stood infront of her.

"What's this big announcement you're making tonight about" Randy asked curiously.

His blue eyes were huge as they looked directly into her brown ones. Charli placed both her hands on his chest.

"I love you" was all she had to say.

Charli then stood up on her tippy-toes and kissed Randy softly on the mouth before smiling and heading towards the ring. Randy was stunned.

Did she just say that she loved me? She did. She loves me. I love her too.

"I love you too" Randy yelled out after her. However, he wasn't quite sure if she heard him.

Charli stood in the ring as the Diva Search 2005 music faded and now all Charli could hear was the murmur from the Madison Square Garden RAW audience and her heart beating ever so heavily in her chest. She took a deep breath and dived in.

"I don't have much air time, so I'll cut straight to the chase" Charli said "So, Ladies and Gentleman, your World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton."

Randy Orton's music hit the arena and the crowd went wild. Charli smiled as the love of her life emerged from behind the black curtain. When Randy entered the ring, he made his way towards Charli and then tilted his head down and kissed her in the middle of the Madison Square Garden ring. When the music died down and the crowd ceased their cheering and applause Charli continued onto her 'big announcement'.

"Randy" Charli started "You have been with me through everything. You've been amazing to me. In the ring, beyond the ring, and everywhere else, including the bedroom."

The crowd roared and cheering. They loved it, and so did Randy Orton. The cocky grin once again crept its way across his face. All Charli could do was smile before continuing.

"So, thank you" Charli said.

Randy smiled at the petite brunette. He loved her and everything about her. There was something about her that really caught his eye - now and when it all started between them many months ago.

"And, Randy there's something really important that I have to tell you now" Charli said as he voice suddenly turned serious.

Randy's smile faded and he had a look of curiosity come onto his face as he eyed his girlfriend in the middle of the ring.

"Randy" Charli started trying to find the words "Randy".

Charli cleared her throat and tried again. Randy saw her having trouble with her words and stepped forward and took her hand.

"Randy" Charli started again as she looked Randy Orton straight in the eye.

This is it! There's no turning back now! Randy, I love you!

"You're going to be a father" Charli finished "I'm pregnant".

A wave of silence came over the audience and Randy Orton looked completely stunned. Then suddenly he hugged Charli, like he was never going to see her again. The audience broke into cheers as he lifted her feet off the ground and spun her around. The smile on his face was now there permanently. When he let her go he smiled at her and she smiled back as the tears of happiness welled in her pretty brown eyes. He kissed her with all his heart. The love of his life. The woman who had changed his life. The mother of his unborn child. Life didn't get much better than this. Randy smiled at Charli one last time before hugging her again. He wasn't going to let this one go.
