"I'm sorry that you were embarrassed Alexa but that was took funny not to laugh about," John couldn't stop laughing long enough to make that sentence comprehendible.
Alexa gave her brother and Randy a death glare before pointing her finger at the two of them, "Falling down the stairs is not something to laugh about. I could have been badly hurt," Alexa said as she rolled her eyes before picking up her menu.
It had been four days since Stu headed home to rest and Alexa was happy she had made the decision to stay on the road with Randy and John. The first day was spent with John hashing out all of the issues the two of them had been having.
"I feel like lately every time you look at me you hate me," John said as he sat on the couch, looking at his sister who was sitting at the other end of the cross-legged and looking over at him.
"Ever since Randy and I got together – even sometimes before that – I feel like you never think about my feelings towards his actions. You're always telling me to let him explain or give him time."
"It's Randy we're talking about Alexa, he's wanted to be with you for so long and sometimes I think that scares him."
"It doesn't matter John," Alexa shook her head. "You're MY big brother. You're supposed to be on my side. It really hurt me to find out that he was sleeping with other women and telling me he wanted to be with me at the same time. I wish you would just take a step back and see how his actions affect me."
It took them a good two hours to work through that problem and in the end John vowed that he was no longer going to put Randy's feeling over his sister's and as far as John was concerned Randy had one more chance to make things right with his sister or he would make sure he would never be a part of her love life again.
"This is your last shot Randy," John said as he leaned down to tie his shoes. "Watch what you say and what you do because if you fuck it up this time I'll personally make sure you two aren't together in anyway ever again."
"I'm not going to say or do anything to hurt her again, I've learned my lesson this time," Randy said.
"Good because you're definitely going to have to step your game up this time," he said. "Alexa might not know it yet but Stu is definitely back in the picture so you've got some competition this time around."
"I'm not worried about Stu," Randy shrugged. "He had his chance and blew it."
"One could say the same about you Orton."
Alexa felt the vibration from her purse and opened it, fishing around for her cell phone, "I have to take this," she said as she held her phone up before sliding out of the booth and hitting the answer button. "Hello there client," she smiled as she stepped outside.
Stu chuckled, "Hey manager lady, what are you up to?"
"I'm just grabbing a quick lunch before making the drive to Greensboro for whatever thing Randy and John have to be at now. I would shoot myself if I was their manager, they have way too many appearances to make," she smiled. "Oh, before I forget…Vince would like you to be in St. Louis on Saturday night because he had to schedule you at a signing because Mike dropped out for a family emergency," she said.
"What time is he having me come in?"
"The flight I booked for you is at six so I'm assuming you'll be here at like seven or seven thirty and it's a late signing so it starts at nine," she explained. "But other than that how has your time off been? I got the paper work from your doctor clearing you for action."
"It's been relaxing but boring at the same time if that makes sense," he laughed.
"It makes sense," Alexa laughed. "I love relaxing at home but I always miss being on the road."
"Well, I just wanted to call and check in," he said. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yup," she smiled. "I'll be jumping up and down as you get off the plane."
"I'll be looking forward to it," he laughed. The two said their goodbyes before they hung up the phone and Alexa made her way back into the restaurant.
Alexa sat in her brother's locker room at the arena for this evenings house show staring at her phone. The news she had just received had her feeling a mixture of feelings and she wasn't quite sure which one she should express. The sound of the locker room door opening broke her out of her thoughts.
"Is everything okay?"
Alexa shook her head, "Yeah John, I'm good. Have you seen Randy?"
"He's in his locker room," he answered.
Alexa stood up, "I'll catch up with you later tonight."
Alexa gently knocked on the door to Randy's locker room and waited to hear his response to open the door.
"You didn't have to knock," Randy smiled; as he looked up at Alexa that smile fell. "What's wrong?" he asked as he watched her sit down on the couch.
"My doctor called me," she said as she played with her hands in her lap.
"Are you sick or something?"
"No," she answered. "I'm pregnant."
Randy dropped the t-shirt he had in his hand and slowly sat down on the bench behind him, "Pregnant?"
Alexa shook her head, "I went in for my annual check-up two days ago and they did a pee-test and they got my results back today."
"Are you sure it's mine?"
Alexa's eyebrows pulled together as she looked at Randy in confusion, "Stu and I haven't been together since way before you and I got together."
"Do you want to keep it?"
Alexa shook her head, "Yes, but this is such bad timing. I mean, you and I aren't even together and we still have so many problems we have to work through."
Randy stood up from the bench and made his way over to Alexa, kneeling on the floor between her legs and taking her hands in his, "This is our second chance Alexa; I want to have this baby. I promise you that, regardless of the person I was in the past – it's just you now and forever."
"I'm scared Randy," she said.
Randy pulled Alexa into his arms and held her as they both sat on the floor of his locker room.
A pissed off Stu stood outside of the airport, waiting for Alexa to pick him up. He had been a little concerned when she wasn't waiting for him inside the airport like they had discussed but he became even more worried when he didn't see her waiting outside either. He had called her and Randy answered her phone.
"Hello," he said.
"Hey, it's Stu. Is Alexa around?"
"She's asleep, can I give her a message?" he asked.
"She was supposed to pick me up at the airport," he answered.
"I'll wake her up and she'll be right there," Randy hung up the phone without waiting for a response from Stu.
Stu looked up as a car came to a quick stop in front of him and Alexa quickly jumped out.
"I am so sorry," she apologized as she opened the trunk. "I was up late last night and I wanted to take a nap, I guess I was more tired than I thought."
Stu shook his head, "Please, your personal life is none of my business." Stu lifted his luggage into the trunk before climbing into the passenger seat.
