Chapter 10
Before everyone left, Paul pulled Vanessa aside and told her to make sure that Orton keeps his promise. Vanessa assured Paul that Orton would never hurt anyone and if he did, she would kill him first. Paul just smiled and walked them all out before heading home to tell his wife that there were going to be three additional guests for dinner.
At dinner, everything was laid out on the table for Vince and Linda. They were just happy that their family was expanding and that everyone was happy and healthy. After dinner, Vince and Linda welcomed Ted, Vanessa and Randy to the McMahon family.
The weeks passed and soon Vanessa was 36 weeks. Dani moved in with Randy and Ted and Vanessa moved to St. Louis as well. Once Ted and Vanessa were all settled into their new home, Dani took time to hang out with Vanessa while the guys were out.
Vanessa managed to enroll the four of them into a birthing class. Randy thought it was a little ridiculous for the four of them to go. But Dani thought it would be a good idea for her and Randy to know what could happen during labor. There were a total of 4 classes that they had to attend and during the first class, Randy and Teddy made fun of the fact that Dani had to pretend that she was pregnant and in labor so they could help Vanessa. Dani smacked Randy and Vanessa smacked Teddy. By the final class, when the instructor passed around the needle that was used for epidurals, Teddy looked at it and passed out. Randy, Dani and Vanessa couldn't help but laugh at him.
Vanessa and Dani were relaxing at Vanessa and Ted's house while the guys were out shopping for the baby. Vanessa was in the kitchen getting herself and Dani something to drink while Dani was working on trying to find a movie to watch. Vanessa was simply glowing for being 36 weeks pregnant and they all couldn't wait for the baby to be here. Randy and Ted took off to go and go some shopping as Ted and Randy wanted to get something not only for Dani but Vanessa and the baby as well.
"Dani what do you want to drink?" Vanessa asked from the kitchen.
"Just some water or iced tea is fine. Do you want me to get it?" Dani asked as she walked into the kitchen.
"I'm okay. Rayne is constantly in the way but that's what happens when you get this big." Vanessa said.
"I know. How are you feeling?" Dani asked.
"Good she is kicking me up a storm today. It didn't help any that Ted had his hand on the baby all night and this morning when Randy came over so Ted could go on a run with you he had a hand on the baby. So needless to say she is has been kicking me all the time right now." Vanessa stated as Dani placed her hand on Vanessa's stomach that held the baby and they both smiled when the baby kicked as if on cue.
"I knew that Randy came over but didn't know he would fall back asleep that easy. Neither of us has slept good since your last doctor's appointment." Dani stated.
"Dani, if the man isn't busy or always on the go he will fall asleep so easily. Ted does as well." Vanessa stated. "That isn't good that you two haven't slept much why not?"
"Well you said at the appointment that you have had this awful metal taste in your mouth. We keep thinking that you will go into labor at any minute." Dani said honestly.
"Oh not good. I doubt she will be born before her due date. I am only dilated to a 3 and 50% effaced. Its not like my water is going to break anytime soon." Vanessa said as they started to walk into the living room. "Dani!"
"What Nessa?" Dani asked as she turned around to face Vanessa who was behind her still in the kitchen and saw the puddle of water on the floor. She quickly grabbed a towel and laid it down to soak up the water and then grabbed another one.
"My water broke. I need to go to the hospital. Call Randy and Teddy." Vanessa said as she started to grip the hell out of the island.
"You call your doctor and I will call Randy and Teddy from the car honey." Dani said as she helped Vanessa to the car.
Vanessa called her doctor and told her what had happened and as Dani drove them towards the hospital at full speed and she called Randy and Ted who said they would meet them there. By the time Dani pulled into the parking lot Vanessa was still able to breathe through the contractions and still talk through them as well. Ted pulled his SUV into the parking lot next to Vanessa and Dani and both Randy and Ted helped Vanessa into the wheelchair that Dani had gotten and Randy was wheeling Vanessa up to labor and delivery while she gripped the life out of her husband's hand.
