**Thanks for being patient you guys! My little man did good at State, but he did not advance to the finals. Hope you guys have a great weekend!**
Randy and Miranda arrived at the airport with everything they needed on hand. They had Shelby in her stroller, they had everything they needed measured out in the proper size containers, they were all packed and were ready to conquer the airplane.
Randy looked at Miranda, "Ok, you packed everything we needed to keep her occupied and quiet on the plane, right?"
Miranda nodded, "Yup, I was up till God knows when making sure I had everything measured out to the airline guidelines."
"And you have her pacifier so she has something to suck on during take-off, right?" Randy asked.
"Yup. Now you have packed all of our passports and copies of the legal papers that show we are allowed to take her with us, right?" Miranda double-checked.
Randy nodded and patted his fanny-pack. "Yup."
"Did you remember the laptops and iPads and iPods?" Miranda asked.
Randy nodded, "Yup, they're all in the carry-ons. Did you remember to pack your sanity?"
"Ha Ha funny. I just know what happens when you are the ones to bring a baby who whines and cries the whole flight on board…Plus, you happen to be famous. SO, I'm trying to make sure that we don't forget anything important. Like telling our parents we're getting remarried this week."
Randy smirked, "I told you, relax. This time it's about us. We'll throw a big shindig the next time I have time off. They got to be there last time, we can even still hang up the wedding pictures from last time and we can fib that we renewed our vows, and never got divorced."
"Good Lord, do you have something in that head of yours for everything?" She quipped.
Randy leaned over and kissed her, "I sure do try."
They walked until they spotted Kim, Neil and her sister Katie. Kim smiled and waved, "And there's the happy family now."
Randy smiled and shook Neil's hand, "Dude, are you ready for an awesome week?"
Neil nodded, "I sure the hell am. What about you?"
"Most definitely." He replied.
Miranda looked at Kim and Katie, "Guys, we want you to meet Shelby. Shelby, this is Kim and Katie. Can you say hi?"
Shelby looked shyly and smiled a little, "hi."
Both girls smiled, "Hi Shelby. Are we going to go on an airplane?"
Shelby nodded, "We fly."
"That's right!" Kim said happily. Then she looked to Miranda, "Alright, the minute the plane lands, we are officially on vacation time."
"Man I can't wait." Miranda said giving Kim a hug. "Hi Katie, I really appreciate you doing this for us."
"No problem. I can't wait!" Katie said happily.
They went through the whole process and finally got onto the plane. A few people stopped Randy and asked for a picture and an autograph, but otherwise it was pretty smooth sailing.
Miranda gave Shelby her pacifier once the plane began take off, and amazingly enough she was very content with it. She only fussed a little bit. Miranda smiled at Randy, "Look, she travels well…I can tell she's your daughter."
Randy smiled, "Yup, she's got the Orton in her."
Kim turned around in her seat and looked at Miranda, "Well, did you guys get everything moved?"
Randy laughed, "Moved yes…settled, not at all."
Miranda rolled her eyes, "The house looks like total heck right now. There's furniture and boxes everywhere. So while we're on vacation, we're going to look around on the 'net for some house possibilities."
Neil looked back, "Oooh…house hunting. What fun."
"No kidding. Especially since right after vacation I'm going to be gone for ten days. We're going to be running around like crazy for the next eight months." Randy said and then stopped short.
"Oh my God…are you pregnant?" Kim exclaimed quite loudly. "Is that what's wrong?"
Miranda looked over at Randy, "And you were worried about my big mouth?" Then she turned to Kim, "Amazing but true, I'm pregnant."
"Oh my God it's a miracle! Congratulations you guys!" Kim and Neil said happily.
They both smiled and nodded. "It's a lot at once, but once we can get some of the big stressors out of the way, it won't be so bad. But we still have six weeks before I'm out of the first trimester, so we're trying to keep it quiet." Miranda said squeezing Randy's hand.
"I'll be honest. I'm kinda freaked out. But, I know that as long as we're together, we can do it." Randy said as he squeezed Miranda's hand back.
"How are you going to tell your parents you're pregnant and not married?" Kim asked.
Randy smiled, "Well….we've been tossing a few ideas around."
The rest of the flight went pretty smoothly. Shelby wound up falling asleep and by the time they landed, she was just starting to wake up.
Miranda carried Shelby and Randy grabbed the carry-ons. Then they headed to the baggage claim and grabbed their stuff.
"And…this is it. We're officially on vacation." Kim said as they walked out of the airport. The six of them located the shuttle from the hotel and quickly boarded.
After they all got their stuff unpacked and settled, they decided to take a stroll around and see the sights. It was something they could all do.
They got on a walking path and it led them to a beautiful waterfall. Without a moments hesitation, Neil dropped to one knee and romantically proposed to Kim.
Kim instantly broke down in tears and happily said yes.
They all began to cheer and clap. Even Shelby smiled and began clapping. Everyone hugged and shook hands as they congratulated the newly engaged couple.
Katie and Shelby were warming up to each other quickly, and Katie took off with Shelby so the four of them could have some adult time. They arranged to meet back at the hotel so they could go to dinner together.
Neil looked over at Randy, "SO…did you get everything set up?"
Randy smirked and nodded, "Hell yeah. It was hard as hell to get everything squared away yesterday, but I sure did."
"Sweet. Let's find you guys some rings."
Randy found a beautiful wedding set for Miranda that was beautiful, unique, not too big but not too small either. Then he also went ahead and bought a plain and simple band for himself. He had told Miranda he would take care of that.
While the girls were shopping, Miranda began to look at white, island-y looking dresses. "Kim, Randy asked me to remarry him."
"He did? What did you say?" She said in a shocked tone.
"I said yes. I know it's way faster then I planned on, but with everything going on and now the baby on the way, I think it'll be ok." Miranda replied. "Randy wants to do it while we're here. And see if you guys would stand up for us…again."
Kim smiled, "I would be glad to. Randy has really come around and I think the two of you were meant to be together."
Miranda and Kim began to look around to see what they could find. Nothing overly grabbed them, so they walked out and found the guys waiting outside for them.
They four of them headed back to the hotel. "See you in the lobby in fifteen minutes." Neil said as he waved.
Randy and Miranda began to walk towards their room, but Randy stopped her. "Hey, let's go outside for a minute."
Miranda looked confused, "Ok…"
Randy walked her outside to the beautiful garden the hotel had in their courtyard.
He took her hand, "Miranda, call it what you will, but fate has given us a second chance at happiness. I promise to give you my love, my heart, my soul and completely dedicate myself to our future together. We're beginning our family, and the rest of our lives. Miranda, will you marry me…again?" And he took the ring out of his pocket.
Miranda's eyes filled with tears as he slipped it on her finger. "Oh Randy, yes. I'll marry you. And I will also dedicate myself to our future and our family."
Randy pulled her close and kissed her lovingly.
Kim and Neil began to clap excitedly. Katie and Shelby were also there and Shelby clapped, "Yay!"
Both Randy and Miranda laughed and went to Shelby and kissed her and hugged her. "Daddy's marrying Miranda!" He said happily.
"Where did you guys come from?" Miranda asked.
"Randy told me his plan." Neil said with a smile.
Kim looked at Randy, "Are you guys going to have Shelby call Miranda mom?"
"We're going to let Shelby decide that." Miranda answered for Randy. "I think it's best if we don't push things."
"Who's ready to eat?" Neil asked.
Together they headed off to the restaurant.
All week long they had a wonderful time. They spent time separate and together. They had couples time and family time. The girls had girl time and shopping time and the guys had chill out time. Plus Miranda had gone through the hotel's entertainment director and they had an on-site wedding planner that arranged for flowers and photographers.
Randy and Miranda had made arrangements to be married in the beautiful courtyard of the hotel. The same place Randy proposed. Pictures were very important to Miranda since their families weren't going to be there for the special day.
It was finally the wedding day. The day before the last day on the vacation. Miranda and Shelby spent the night with Kim and Katie while Neil and Randy crashed together.
Shelby had woken up and Miranda smiled as she went to her playpen to get her up. "Good morning beautiful!"
Shelby smiled, "Morning. Me hungry."
"Ok, let's get changed and then we'll get something to eat." Miranda said with a smile. Today was the big day…the day she was getting married to Randy…again. She was excited, nervous and mostly at ease. But, part of her was really bummed that their families weren't going to be there to share the excitement. She knew how much this would mean to them.
Kim woke up to Miranda moving around. "Guess who's getting married today?" She teased.
"Guess who is having a sense of déjà vu…except this time there's not a room full of girls and I'm a whole lot more calm this time." Miranda replied with a laugh.
"Well, let's go eat, then Katie can work on getting Shelby ready while we get our hair done." Kim said as she got out of bed.
"I haven't showered yet. Shelby slept in."
Kim looked at the clock. "Ok, you go get in the shower. I'll take Shelby to go get her breakfast."
Miranda looked surprised, "Are you sure?"
"Yup…totally sure. Go on, Auntie Kim will take good care of Shelby."
Miranda looked at Shelby, "Ok, you be good girl while I'm in the shower, ok?"
Shelby giggled, "Ok."
Kim took Shelby downstairs to where the breakfast was served and got her a plate of her favorites. Then she text Neil. "How's Randy doing?"
Neil replied, "Making sure everything is in place the way it should be. Are you guys leaving now?"
Kim text, "NO. Miranda needed to shower. But we will be shortly."
Neil shook his head as he read her response. "You guys need to get out of here SOON. Randy will be back in about twenty minutes."
Kim sighed, "Great. We'll hurry. I'll go get her butt in gear."
"C'mon Shelby, let's go eat in our room and you can watch Disney."
"YAY Disney!" Shelby said taking Kim's hand.
They got back to the room and Katie was now awake.
"Where's Miranda?" Kim asked.
"In the shower." Katie replied.
Kim set Shelby's food down by Katie. "Here you go Shelby. I'm going to get Miranda." And she walked into the bathroom, "We're going to be late to our appointment, let's go."
Miranda turned the shower off, "Alright. I'm coming."
Kim set out Miranda's capris, and halter top. "Here's your clothes, we'll grab a bagel on our way."
Miranda shook her head, "No, I don't think eating is a good idea. I don't feel to good this morning."
"Aww….the morning sickness and pre-wedding jitters are kicking in." Kim teased.
Finally Kim got Miranda out of the room and out of the hotel. Kim made sure they left the hotel from a different door then by the courtyard like they usually did. She text Neil, "We have left the building."
Neil text back, "It's about time, Randy's only a few minutes away."
And together the girls went out. They had their hair, nails and make-up done.
Randy walked back into the room he was sharing with Neil. "Ok, we're all good."
"Did everything go ok?" Neil asked.
Randy nodded, "Yup. Everything is great and according to plan."
"Ok. The girls are just finishing up and then they'll be heading back here to get their dresses on." Neil said checking his phone.
Randy nodded, "Great, then all is even on time. Man this morning cut it close."
Neil laughed, "Hell yeah it did."
"Alright, let's get ready. We're all due in the courtyard in forty-five minutes for pictures." Randy said. He was a bit nervous, but in a good way. Randy really wanted to make this special for Miranda. She was doing so much for him, he wanted to do something nice for her. And he had a feeling that he would make that happen today.
