Chapter Twenty One – Best Man of the House
The Ortons, St. Louis, MO at 10am:
Randy Orton slept blissfully in his king size bed wrapped up in thin white sheets dreaming about the woman who he wanted wrapped up around him. It wouldn't be long before she would be and the anticipation of having Trish as his wife was exciting enough to make the smile stretch even further across Randy Orton's face. In fact he was holding the pillow as if it was Trish, it was a lousy substitute but it would have to do. Shawn Michaels knocked on Randy's door gently with some coffee in his hand, he pressed the door slightly when Orton didn't answer and saw the groom smiling into his pillow. Shawn leaned his head to the side in sympathy with what Randy was feeling; getting married to the woman of your dreams was like getting that present you always wanted for your birthday. You spend weeks and months thinking about it, then when you finally got it that day quickly became the best day of your life that you never wanted to end. Hunter on the other hand thought Randy looked like a dork and took a picture of him sleeping with his arms wrapped around the pillow on his camera phone, spilling some of the coffee Shawn bought upstairs for Randy as he took the picture.
"Where did you get that phone?" Shawn asked Hunter.
"Chyna bought it for me, she said she was sick of me going on-and-on about LC's phone and got me one of my own," Hunter said.
"Well you made me spill coffee on Randy's carpet," Shawn said shoving Hunter out of Randy's room and closing the door behind him.
"Where are you going?" Hunter asked Shawn as HBK headed for the kitchen. Shawn found some cleaning products and bought them back up to Randy's room. He started to clean up the coffee stain and Hunter took a picture of Shawn on his hands and knees scrubbing Randy's carpet, "I can't believe you're actually cleaning the man's carpet, you're his best man not his maid," Hunter said.
"And as his best man its my job to keep him out of trouble, if his mom is anything like my mom this coffee stain will not sit well with her and Randy will get yelled at," Shawn said and Hunter came into the room. Shawn pulled his leg not wanting him to come inside, "Go back to your room Hunter," he said but Hunter snatched his leg back and started to walk around.
"Man this room sure is clean," Hunter said looking around then he noticed the little snow globe of St. Louis Arch Gateway sitting on Randy's dresser and he picked it up, "Aw isn't this cute? Look Shawn a snow globe," Hunter said showing it to Shawn who fretted when he saw the snow globe in Hunter's hand.
"Helmsley you put that down right now!" Shawn whispered and Hunter frowned.
"What's the big deal it's just a stupid snow globe?" Hunter said and he started to shake the snow globe but it slipped out of his hand. It landed on Randy's bed and Shawn scrambled to his feet, gently he took the snow globe up and put it back on Randy's dresser. He then gave Hunter a Ric Flair chop across the chest and the Cerebral Assassin winced in pain. "Man that hurt, what's your problem Shawn?" Hunter said in his normal voice and Shawn quickly escorted Hunter out of the room.
"Randy's had that snow globe since he was 9 years old and he wants to give it to his firstborn son okay?" Shawn explained and Hunter nodded rubbing his chest.
"Well why didn't you just say so, I would have put it back," Hunter said and Shawn rolled his eyes.
"You probably would have dropped it," Shawn said and Hunter took offense to that statement.
"What am I some sort of klutz?" he said and his cell-phone dropped on the floor and smashed in two. Shawn gave Hunter a weary glance and The Game tightened his lip, "Shut up," he said before picking up his phone and trying to put it back together.
"Give it to me," Shawn said taking the phone from him and putting it back together while the other Superstars woke up and came out of their guest bedrooms.
"So it was you two making all that noise," MVP said with a big yawn.
"What are you guys doing out here anyway?" Batista asked Shawn and Hunter scratching the side of his leg.
"I was bringing Randy some coffee and this clown follows me, makes me spill coffee all over Randy's carpet and then he drops Randy's snow globe!" Shawn said and the other wrestlers gasped.
"Not the snow globe!" they all said at the same-time and Hunter laughed at how sensitive they were over Randy's little snow globe.
"Nothing happened to it," he said.
"That's not the point why were you fooling around with it?" Batista asked Hunter.
"I just shook it a little," Hunter protested and the door to Cowboy Bob Orton's bedroom creaked open and the WWE Hall of Famer walked out, cowboy boots and all and looked Hunter dead in the eye. The other guys backed up as Bob Orton walked stealthily towards The Game and Triple H swallowed as the man of the house came up to him directly in his face.
"Morning Bob!" Triple H said cheerfully trying to disguise his nervousness.
"What's this I hear about you touching my boy's snow globe?" Mr. Orton said his face set like stone and Hunter tried to calm him down.
"Mr. Orton nothing happened to it I just picked it up for a closer look that's all and when I shook it - ,"
"You shook it?" Mr. Orton asked Hunter and Triple H looked confused.
"Yeah?" he said wondering what the big deal was, "That's what you tend to do with snow globes,"
"Not with my boy's snow globe," Mr. Orton replied and Shawn shook his head as Hunter's attempt to calm Bob Orton down backfired like a faulty missile, "My boy's had that snow globe since he was 9 years old and he said he wants to give it to his firstborn son. How's that gonna happen if your dropping it all over the place?"
"Mr. Orton please I - ,"
"Now I don't mind you boys staying over but if you pull any DX like antics in this house you'll be on your way back to Connecticut via my boot up your ass!" Bob Orton said to Triple H who felt like a little boy being told off by his father, "Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes sir, crystal clear," Hunter replied and Bob Orton kept his glance on Hunter a little while longer before turning to his DX partner, "As Randy's best man I expect you to keep your friend in line," he said to HBK who nodded.
"I will sir," Shawn replied and Bob Orton nodded before going sticking his head in Randy's room. He pulled his head out seconds later content that Randy was sleeping like a baby. He slapped Shawn on the shoulder and gave him a smile.
"Nice job on the coffee stain," he said impressed before heading downstairs, when the front door shut Hunter jumped and all the guys started laughing at him. Shawn shushed them so they wouldn't wake Randy up but he gave Hunter a knowing smile.
"See I told you not to touch the snow globe," he said as Hunter tried to shake off the effects of being chewed out by Randy Orton's father.
"That is the scariest old man I've ever been in contact with," Hunter said.
"The man loves his son and he's obviously very protective of him, I know I would have kicked your ass if you messed with something so precious to my son," Batista said and Hunter raised his eyebrow at David intrigued.
"Oh really Dave?" he said.
"Guys get dressed and go downstairs I made breakfast for everybody," Shawn said and the wrestlers disappeared back into their rooms. Shawn noticed that Hunter had a devious look on his face and he called him on it, "What's with you?" he said as Hunter rubbed his hands together.
"Oh nothing," Hunter replied insincerely and Shawn shook his head as this nothing was obviously something.
"Go get changed will ya? And try not to do anything stupid while you're at it," Shawn said to Hunter giving him back his cell-phone which now had a video clip of Hunter being chewed out by Bob Orton on it.
Inside his bedroom Randy stirred and he turned and saw Shawn through the gap in his bedroom door.
"Shawn come in here," he called to his best man and HBK stepped in.
"I bought you some coffee but it had an unfortunate accident," Shawn said nodding over to where Randy's carpet was damp.
"You cleaned it up? You've obviously met my mom," Randy said and he patted on the bed indicating for Shawn to sit down next to him.
"Um shouldn't you get dressed first?" Shawn said tentatively when Randy pulled him down onto the bed.
"I know you've felt this way before so tell me how it was when you first slept with Amy," Randy asked Shawn his eyes bouncing with excitement.
Shawn smiled bashfully looking down at his feet on the side of Randy's bed, "It was awesome," Shawn replied and now Randy's smile was even brighter.
"So all that waiting and yearning all paid off?" Randy said remembering how Shawn and Amy had burned for each other while they were engaged.
"It paid off with interest," Shawn said suggestively and Randy fell flat on his back and gasped thrilled at Shawn's comment. Shawn laughed gently, "If you want I could leave so you and your imagination can be alone?" Shawn said seeing how enamored Randy was with his own thoughts about Trish.
"No-no-no I'm getting up," Randy said sitting up in his bed, "If I think about Trish anymore I'll never leave this room,"
"Okay I'll see you downstairs," Shawn said and he was about to get up when Randy pulled his arm, "What's up?" Shawn asked him and Randy bit his lip tentatively before he asked his question.
"Do you miss her?" he asked.
"Who?" Shawn said and Randy didn't say anything for awhile. Then he finally spoke.
"Rebecca," he said
"Oh," Shawn said, "Well I never really felt like she left. Everytime I look at Cheyenne I see her, her spirit still lives in my children and in me too. I think things would be different if she never gave me and Amy her blessing but she did, I couldn't thank her enough for the years she gave me and the sacrifices she made for me. I don't think I'd be the man I am today if it wasn't for her,"
"So you never regret marrying Amy?" Randy asked and Shawn laughed.
"Are you kidding? I feel like I've known Big Red all my life. She's more than my wife she's my best friend. God couldn't have given me a better partner and I never would have imagined in a million years that we'd end up together. But I learned a long time ago Randy to never challenge what God has done in my life. He knows what's best for me and she's it." Shawn said and Randy nodded.
"So you don't have any regrets?" Randy asked Shawn and HBK shook his head.
"Not-a-one, anymore questions?" Shawn asked and Randy scratched the back of his head.
"Just one, do you ever worry that you'll fall out of love with her?" Randy asked Shawn and HBK looked deeply in Randy's eyes.
"Randy the Bible says that perfect love casts out fear. I know you're new to love which is why you have all these questions but God has brought you and Trish together so you can learn to trust Him, so you can lean on Him and not on your own understanding. God wants to show you His perfect love and that love will be reflected in your relationship with Trish if you will just let Him have his way and don't fight it," Shawn said.
"I don't want to fight it, my spirit says its right but my flesh is just caught up in the fact that I've never been married before. I mean how is it that I've gone from despising this woman to not being able to stop thinking about her?" Randy wondered and Shawn smiled at him.
"Because God's got something big planned for the both of you and you're gonna like it, trust me," Shawn said and Randy smiled at him.
"I do trust you Shawn," Randy said and he hugged Shawn hoping to have the same kind of relationship he had with Shawn and his father with his own son. Maybe then Little Randy would know the perfect love that the Bible talked about and the legacy of great Orton fathers would continue through the generations.
A little later in the afternoon Bob Orton took the boys down to a nearby baseball field to play a game before dinner. The teams were split between Randy, HBK, Batista and Carlito and Triple H, MVP, Shelton Benjamin and Matt Hardy. Bob Orton played the umpire.
"Great, how did I end up on the same side as you?" Matt Hardy complained looking at MVP derisively.
"Hey you should be lucky you're on my team that means we're gonna win," MVP bragged and Triple H nodded liking his bravado.
"Batter up!" Batista called and Triple H stepped up to the plate. He hit the ball far out and rounded first and second base, but when he stormed into third Carlito struck him out and Randy's team won that round.
"Yeah!" Randy and his team celebrated.
"That's my boy!" Bob Orton cheered his son.
"You call that winning? Don't make me switch teams!" MVP threatened The Game.
"Relax Montell, I guarantee things are going to get very interesting around here soon," Hunter said, the devious look on his face hadn't left since breakfast, Shawn could even see it from where he was standing.
"What is he up to?" Shawn said to himself as Matt Hardy stepped up to the plate. He hit the ball out of the park and got a home run.
"Now that's what I'm talking about, see because he's on my team he's playing better than everyone else," MVP said bragging on Matt Hardy's behalf.
"Come on MVP you're up," Shawn said and MVP strutted confidently to the plate. He swung and missed, "Strike one!" Bob Orton said and MVP complained.
"My chain was in the way!" he said.
"Well tuck it into your shirt," Shawn replied.
"Alright just give me a second," MVP said and Randy's team rolled their eyes as MVP took his time putting his bling away. He struck out again.
"Strike two!" Bob Orton called and MVP kicked up the dirt in frustration.
"Try again Montell," Matt Hardy said and MVP's team mates encouraged him.
"I would if you would shut up so I could concentrate!" MVP replied and the encouragement abruptly stopped.
MVP hit the ball far and wide this time and managed to round all the bases pushing Triple H's team ahead of Randy's team. Coming around third base however MVP was so proud of himself he walked right into HBK and knocked him down.
"Look where you're – oops I mean sorry HBK I didn't see you there," MVP said quickly changing his tune from indignation to apologetic when he realized who he had knocked over.
"That's okay MVP, it was an accident," Shawn said as MVP helped him up.
"No hard feelings then okay?" MVP said.
"No hard feelings," Shawn assured the cocky heavyweight as he went back to his team players.
"Um Montell your bling's on fire," Shelton said as he was about to step up to the plate.
"What the?" MVP said as he looked down and saw that his chains were burning, he quickly took them off while his team mates and the other players laughed at him, "Man that was my favorite chain!" he complained and he looked up at Shawn annoyed, "I thought you said no hard feelings?"
"I don't have any hard feelings, my wife on the other hand takes exception to anyone who puts their hands on me," Shawn told MVP knowing that it was Amy's Righteous Indignation that had caused MVP's bling to catch on fire.
"Great even when she's not here she's here," MVP complained looking at his charred chains regretfully.
"You had it coming big mouth," Matt Hardy said resting on his baseball bat while Shelton took them even higher up the scoreboard. That all changed when Batista stepped up to the plate and he took his team ahead with a series of thrilling runs that had Triple H's team fuming, especially MVP.
"Man I knew I should have been on Randy's team," he complained folding his arms across his chest angrily.
"You would have made them lose too," Matt Hardy said and MVP looked at him in shock.
"Are you saying we're losing because of me?" MVP asked in disbelief.
"Will you guys shut up, we're losing because Batista's that good," Shelton said and The Game smiled.
"Well that's all about to change," he said and his team mates wondered what he was talking about, he'd been mumbling cryptically to himself for the whole game. When it was time for Hunter to step up he hit the ball clean and ran around the field but Shawn threw the ball to Carlito who was manning third base and he got The Game out once again. Randy's team cheered while Hunter scowled at Shawn who shrugged before celebrating the victory with the rest of his team.
"We lost!" MVP said enraged.
"Well we played a good game, congratulations Dave," Hunter said shaking Batista's hand.
"That's very big of you Hunter, I know how much you hate to lose," Batista replied and he was surprised when Hunter pulled him in for a hug unaware that Hunter was sneaking something into his pocket.
"Alright boys its time for dinner lets round up all the equipment and take it back to the locker room," Bob Orton said.
"Here's the ball," Randy said bringing the baseball over.
"I thought Batista had the ball," Bob Orton said.
"No dad its right here," Randy said showing his dad the baseball close up and Bob Orton looked at Batista in confusion.
"Then what's that in your pocket?" Mr. Orton asked Batista who looked down and saw something sticking out of his pants pocket. He reached inside and pulled out Randy's little snow globe. Everyone gasped when they saw it, including Batista.
"What the Hell are you doing with that?!" Mr. Orton yelled angrily and Batista was at a loss for words.
"I don't know, I - ,"
"You were playing with my son's snow globe in your pocket the whole time?!" Mr. Orton said in shock but Batista didn't know how to explain what had happened.
"Mr. Orton I swear I don't know how this ended up in my pocket!" he said earnestly but Bob Orton was already balling his hand up into a fist.
"Tell that to my right hand wise guy," Mr. Orton said and he was about to lunge for Dave when Orton stopped him.
"I don't think Dave had anything to do with this dad," Orton said and Triple H got nervous.
"Yes he did, the snow globe was right there in his pocket!" Hunter said pointing at Batista and the Animal's brow narrowed with suspicion at The Game.
"The snow globe was in my room when we left the house, in fact the only two men in my room prior to that were Shawn and Hunter," Randy said and Mr. Orton unclenched his fist and looked between both members of D-Generation X.
"Shawn did you put my boy's snow globe in Batista's pocket?" Mr. Orton asked HBK but Randy shook his head.
"Dad, how could you accuse my best man of such a low, despicable but ultimately cerebral act?" Randy said and The Game gulped as Randy's father turned towards him his eyes narrowing into slits.
"It was you wasn't it Cerebral Assassin?" Bob Orton said to Triple H, "You did it because you were pissed at me for chewing you out in front of your wrestling buddies this morning didn't you?"
"Yes!" Hunter confessed, "You had me so shook I nearly wet my pants!"
"You nearly wet your pants huh?" Bob Orton said taking Randy's baseball bat from out of his hand and swinging it at Hunter's head, "Well this time I'll make sure you do!" he snapped.
"ARGHHH!" Hunter screamed and he ran from Bob Orton right around the baseball field while Batista and the other wrestlers laughed and laughed at the trouble The Game had gotten himself into.
Shawn walked up to Randy and slapped his back, "Thanks for sticking up for me," he said.
"I couldn't have my best man being chased around a baseball field by my dad less than two weeks before I get married now could I?" Randy said putting his arm around Shawn.
"Should we tell Mr. Orton that it was actually MVP's idea to steal Randy's snow globe in the first place?" Batista asked his team mates who all looked at him like he was crazy.
"Are you nuts keep your mouth shut Batista!" MVP said to the former World Champion, "Besides I wasn't crazy enough to go through with it,"
"That's what separates the mature from the degenerate," Batista said.
"Which one is Triple H?" Matt Hardy asked and Batista shrugged as Mr. Orton continued to chase Hunter around the baseball field. Randy told everyone to head back home because it looked like his dad was going to be chasing Hunter for awhile.
"I have no idea," Batista said.
"He's the degenerate Batista, never put Hunter and the word 'maturity' in the same sentence," Shawn said and everyone continued to laugh and headed back to Randy's house while Hunter rounded third for about the hundredth time.
