Two months after the attack on Randy's hummer and things had calmed down a little. Carley still got the occasional text message or phone call that would hang up. Randy had come out one morning to find all four of his tires had been slashed. Things were progressing pretty slowly with John and Julie but they had become inseparable and the other couple before and after work. Of course, at the office, everything was strictly business.

Carley anxiously stood in the bathroom of Randy's house waiting for Julie to show or the time to ding, whichever came first. Julie peaked her head into the door just as the timer went off and Carley held her breath as she looked at the little plastic stick in her hand.

"Well…..?" Julie asked. Carley just looked at her unable to speak. "Come on Car, you gotta tell me something. John and Randy are already a little suspicious because we sent them ahead. At least tell me you're going to be a mama." When Carley still didn't say anything, Julie walked over and looked at the stick and smiled. "Get dressed. We have to get to the office and tell Randy."

They headed to Carley's car and were soon on their way to the office.

"Do you think he will be okay with the baby?" Carley asked as they drove.

"I think he will. He loves you." Julie replied as she checked her phone for her email.

"I hope so." Carley smiled at her friend just as she felt something hit the car from behind. She looked in her rearview mirror and saw a black town car.

"What was that?" Julie asked trying to calm herself after the hit.

"I don't know." Carley said as the car hit again. "I don't know what they are doing."

"Pull off." Julie advised. She figured that would be the best place for them.

Carley carefully eased the car off the road. The black car passed them. Both girls thought it was over.

"That was close. I'm calling Randy and tell him." She said as they sat there for a minute. She got out her phone and began to dialed when she looked up and saw the car coming right at them.

They barely had time to react when the car slamed into the car. It caused Carley's car to go down an embankment and into a tree. Both girls were knocked unconsious. The black car sped away.

Back at the office, Randy was sitting in his office pacing nervously. Something wasn't right. He could feel it in the pit of his stomach. He'd tried Carley's phone a couple of times but it had gone straight to voicemail. He looked up at the clock. Julie and Carley should have been there by now. John walked to the door to his office and looked at his friend. They were both worried Randy realized.

"Have you heard anything from the girls?" John asked. Randy shook his head. "They should have been here by now."

"I know. I've tried calling Carley's phone but it goes straight to voicemail. Just as the words left his mouth, his cell phone rang and he breathed a little sigh or relief when he saw it was Carley's cell.

"Hey, I was beginning to worry."

"Is this Mr. Randy Orton?"

"Yes. Who is this and why do you have my girlfriend's phone?"

"Mr. Orton, I'm Detective Gabriel. Ms. Thomas and her friend Julie Barrett were involved in a car accident about an hour ago. They are currently being transported to St. Angelos. Is there anyone we can contact for Ms. Barrett?"

"I'm with her boyfriend now. I'll bring him with me." Randy said as he hung up the phone and grabbed his jacket. "Come on. We have to get to St. Angelos...Carley and Julie have been in a car accident."

They rushed to the hospital and right to the ER. They went to the desk and asked where the girls were.

"Mr. Orton?" Detective Gabriel said when he heard who he asked for.

"Yes, where is Carley?" Randy asked.

"She is in the trauma room."

"Where's Julie Barrett?" John asked.

"She is in an exam room. Both are being examined right now."

"We need to see them."

"Of course but first I have some questions. Please sit." Justin pointed to the chairs nearby.

"What questions?" John asked annoyed. He just wanted to see Julie and know she was okay.

"Well it seems that the girls were ran off the road by someone."

"What?" Randy and John said together.

"According to witnesses, a black car hit their car from behind. The girls pulled off the road and the car came at them. Causing their car to go down an embankment and hit a tree."

"Their car hit a tree?" John asked standing up. "I want to see Julie and know she is okay.

"I'm with John." Randy said standing up.

"Do you know of anyone who might want to hurt the girls?"

"Maybe Carley's ex boyfriend, Ted DIBiase or Julie's soon to be ex husband, Wade Barrett." Randy and John walked away and to the desk. They were then shown to where Julie and Carley were.

Carley sat in the bed alittle shaken up physically but completely devastated emotionally by what the doctors had just told her. Her injuries weren't very severe. She'd broken her wrist and a few ribs. But the baby hadn't survived. She hadn't even gotten the chance to tell Randy that they were going to have a baby. And now, the part of them that was going to be joined forever was gone. She placed her hands over her bruised abdomen and let the hot tears silently fall down her face. How could she tell him that just this morning, she'd been pregnant and now, the baby was gone?

"Baby?" she heard from the doorway and turned her head slightly to look at him. He walked to her and wrapped his massive arms carefully around her pulling her to his chest. "Thank God you're alright. I was so worried when the Detective called me." he said. She looked up at him, tears still in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry Randy. I tried to get to you to tell you but the car and now..." She couldn't even bring herself to finish the sentence.

"Shhhh. Baby, it's alright. Whatever it is, we can get through it."

"I asked Julie to come and get me so I could take a pregnancy test. It came back positive. We were on our way to the office to tell you when...the accident happened. But when we hit the tree, I lost it. I lost our baby." Randy sat there as Carley cried into his chest trying to process all the information she'd thrown at him. For a split second, he was about to become a father and now... His thoughts were interrupted by a commotion in the hallway. He got up from Carley's side and looked out the door.

"Where is she? I need to see her." Ted said. "I need to check on Carley."

"Mr. DiBiase, why don't you step over here and we can talk. Ms. Thomas has been through quite alot today what with her miscarriage and all."

"Miscarriage? You mean Carley was pregnant? Oh My God! I really need to get to her. I have to comfort her now that she's lost our baby."

John took a deep breathe before heading into Julie's room. He had no idea how he would find her. He hoped she was okay. Julie laid in the hospital bed absorbing what the doctor had told her. She honestly didn't think she would ever be a mom and now she was pregnant. She knew there was no parentiy doubt as she had only ever been with Wade and John. And Wade was sterile so John was of course the father. She was grateful that the accident hadn't done anything to the baby. She wondered how Carley was. John opened the door and saw Julie laying down in the bed. She was hooked up to a montior. Julie heard the door and looked over at it. She smiled.

"John, you're here." She said wth a big smile.

"Yes, I am. How are you?" He asked walking over to her. He kissed her gently on the lips.

"I'm okay. The doctor said I have a separate shoulder and some cuts and bruises but outside of that I'm fine." She smiled before adding. "And so is the baby."

"That's great." He said before her words sunk in. "Baby?"

"We're having a baby." She said happily.

"Oh my God, that's wonderful." He smiled and kissed her. "And you both are okay."

'We are okay." She paused before asking her next question. "How is Carley?'

"I don't know. I came to see you. Randy is seeing her." He said just as they heard commotion outside . John walked to the door and saw Ted arguing with the doctor. He sighed and turned his attention back to Julie. The doctors and security would deal with him.

Randy sat with Carley trying his best to keep his body from trembling as he heard Ted continue to argue with the detectives and security. The door to the room opened a few minutes later and a doctor and Dectective Gabriel came walking in.
"Ms. Thomas, we know this is an emotional time for you but...there is a Mr. DiBiase in the hallway and he claims to have been the father of the baby. Can you tell us the last time you were with him?"
"I uh...it was probably around the end of March." she said wiping away tears. The doctor looked over at Detective Gabriel.
"From the expansion of her uterus, the baby was conceived in early April. I'd say around the 1st." The detective nodded.
"Do you know of anyone who would want to hurt you or Ms. Barrett?"
"Just Ted. He was pretty upset when we broke up." The detective nodded.
"We will give you two some time alone. Then Ms. Thomas, we will need to perform the DNC." Carley nodded and the doctor and Detective Gabriel walked out of the room.
"What are you thinking?" she asked Randy. He honestly didn't know how to answer that question. Finding out that Carley had been with Ted just days before the baby was conceived made him have doubts that he was the father. For a split second. But it was long enough for her to pick up on it.
"Oh My God. You think the baby was his don't you?"
"Car..."
"Get out."
"What?"
"Get the hell out of here." He didn't want to upset her anymore so he walked out into the hallway where John was standing.

John looked over at Randy as he picked up one of the chairs and threw it down the hallway before he slumped against the wall.
"Is Carley okay?" John asked.
"She...uh...she was pregnant. They were on the way to the office to tell us when the accident happened. She lost the baby. The detectives came in to ask her about Ted and when they had last been together. She told them the end of March. The thought ran through my head that maybe the baby was Ted's. She picked up on it and kicked me out."
"Ouch."
"Yeah. How is Julie?"
"Pregnant. We're having a baby." Randy smiled at John sadly. He was happy for his friends but he knew it was going to be rough on Carley. But he couldn't deny that a small part of him was envious and sad. Just a few short hours before, he and Carley had what Julie and John did. And now, he wasn't sure how things were going to turn out.
"Thats great man."
Ted smiled and walked toward the exit. He'd done what he'd sat out to do. And with Heath's driving, Julie and Carley were in the hospital. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed Wade's number.
"I'm leaving the hospital now. Yeah. It was an oscar caliber performance if I do say so myself. Oh and I picked up an interesting tidbit of info. Yeah. I'll meet you at Maryse's in an hour. Bye."
