CHAPTER XI - I WANNA MAKE THINGS RIGHT

Randy Orton was having second thoughts next week on RAW.

What if this doesn't work? What if I screw everything up? Everything's perfect the way it is. I can either screw it up or make it better.

"Something on your mind Orton" Stacey Keibler asked as she watched Randy pace the backstage area.

"You have no idea" Randy said looking up at the leggy diva before taking a seat.

Stacey sat next to him and proceeded to uncover what was bothering the World Heavyweight Champion.

"Is it Charli" Stacey asked breaking the silence.

It obviously had to be about Charli. Randy wasn't ever worried about anything else but Charli. You wouldn't have thought such a cocky Randy Orton could ever stick to one girl, but nowadays, since he and Charli got together, he wore his emotions on his sleeves.

"Yep" Randy replied simply "I don't know if I'm doing the right thing."

Stacey was confused "What are you doing"

Randy sighed as he looked at Stacey in the eye. He then placed a small box in her hands and when she opened it she knew what he was talking about. Stacey got so excited and couldn't refrain from hugging Randy. When she parted from him, she spoke again.

"So, you're asking her tonight" Stacey asked still very excited.

"I think so" Randy said "But I dunno if it's the right time."

"Now's a better time than any Randy" Stacey said "That child she's carrying is your responsibility too."

"I know" Randy said smiling to himself.

There was nothing more that he wanted than a kid, especially if it was with Charli.

"You televising it" Stacey asked after she had settled down.

"I don't know" Randy said plainly "I have to talk to Bischoff."

"Well, go do it now" Stacey said "Or you'll miss your chance tonight."

"OK" Randy Orton stood up and made his way to the GM's office.

However, before Stacey Keibler was out of site he turned around and addressed her again.

"Stace" Randy said as she looked up at him "Thanks."

Stacey Keibler smiled at him as he disappeared around the corner.

"Randy Orton" Eric Bischoff said as Randy took a seat in his office "What is it now"

"Um..." Randy started "I just wanted to know what's next for my story line with Charli."

Eric looked suspicious of Randy but answered his question anyway.

"Well, we're thinking of a marriage or something along the lines, but then Vince has had this idea of Charli's secret admirer breaking up the whole happy ending between you two" Eric said.

"Is tonight too soon for me to propose" Randy asked cautiously.

"Why" Eric asked.

"Cause I wanna do it for real tonight" Randy blurted out.

"You wanna do it for real" Eric asked "You're asking Charli Hilton to marry you"

"Yes" Randy replied "She's carrying my child and I don't want to let her go."

Eric still looked confused "You mean to tell me that she's actually carrying your child and that you actually want to marry her"

"Yes" Randy replied again.

Eric let out a sigh "Well, I guess you could."

"Thank Eric" Randy said as he smiled. He shook Eric Bischoff's hand before heading out the door.

"But just remember, the Secret Admirer will be coming into the picture soon..." Eric trailed off as Randy was already out of sight and on his way to the ring.

Randy watched as Charli Hilton made her way towards the ring. Her music was pumping throughout the arena and the audience were going wild, but all Randy Orton could hear was his head preparing what he was going to say to her an his heart beating heavily in his chest.

Charli smiled as she stood before Randy. The father of her unborn child and the man that made her so happy.

"Charli" Randy said very softy into the microphone "There's nothing more that I want than to see you happy."

Charli smiled.

"When you told me that I was going to be a father, I knew that this was right" Randy continued "I knew that I had to take responsibility for my actions, which includes my baby."

"There's nothing more that I want, than to spend the rest of my life with you" he continued as he looked into Charli's eyes "I wanna make things right."

There was a long pause, and not a pin drop could be heard from the audience. Even JR and Jerry "The King" Lawler were silent as Randy dropped to one knee. Charli's hand immediately rushed to her face, covering her mouth as a single tear rolled down her cheek. Randy took her hand and reached, with his other hand, into his pocket retrieving a small box.

"Charli" Randy said "Will you marry me"

Charli was perplexed. She was stunned and the tears just kept flowing down her pretty face.

C'mon Charli! Say something! He asked you if you wanted to marry him and you're not going to answer! C'mon girl! Pull yourself together! Say it! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Charli took the microphone from Randy and softly said, amoungst her tears"Yes"

Randy placed the ring on her left hand. Randy got to his feet and for a moment the couple just looked at each other. Charli then jumped into Randy's arms and hugged him, just like he'd hugged her when he found out he was going to be a father. He kissed her back. The balloons and confetti then suddenly started falling from the ceiling as the RAW screen read the words Mr and Mrs Randy Orton.

I told Jericho nothing extravagant! I wasn't even sure if she was going to say yes.

Charli looked at Randy before she kissed him again. He then whispered in her ear "I love you." Charli beamed as she hugged him back and he knew that she loved him too.
