Gabriella turned to drape her arm over Randy but all she got was air. She opened her eyes and slightly sat up in bed. She smirked when she spotted Isabella in Randy's arms as he tried to calm her. Gabriella blinked in surprise…she hadn't heard her baby cry. That was probably one of the first times she'd done that.
"Is she okay?" Gabriella asked groggily.
Randy turned at her voice. "Yeah. I heard her stir so I got up."
"You could've woken me up." She replied as he crawled back into bed with her.
Randy put down Isabella between them. "I didn't want to. You need the sleep."
Gabriella laid back down as she stroked her baby's hair. "You didn't have to that but thank you." She said with a smile.
Randy returned the smile as he reached over to give her a soft lingering kiss. Gabriella licked her lips in return. "Now, that's a way to start the day."
"If there wasn't a baby here, I could think of another way." Randy said lifting an eyebrow.
Gabriella shook her head as she rested her head on top of her hands. "You're a dirty boy Mr. Orton." She said just looking at him with her brown orbs.
Randy followed suit as the twosome just laid there staring at each other. "Come here." He ordered politely.
Gabriella waited for him to move over before she snuggled up against him. She closed her eyes when he placed kisses on her shoulders and neck. "Love you." She blurted.
Randy's heart did a little leap but he stayed calm. "Love you too Bella." He whispered in her ear.
Gabriella looked down at her daughter who was again sleeping peacefully. She rested her hand gently on her stomach. Randy wrapped his arm around tighter around Gabriella. "So what did you want to do today?"
Gabriella turned her head to look at him. "I like what we're doing now."
"I second that but I was thinking we could take the little one out somewhere fun." He suggested making Gabriella lift an eyebrow at him. "What?" He questioned her look.
Gabriella just shrugged her shoulders. "I just never thought you'd be the type to take out a day for the kiddies." She chuckled making Randy frown a little.
"Well, you thought wrong sweetie. Plus, Izzy is a special kiddy. She adores me." He smirked.
"Izzy? That's new." Gabriella pointed out.
Randy reached his hand under her shirt a little making her squirm. "Only my special girls get nicknames."
Gabriella pulled his hand away when he started to tickle. "Stop Orton. You know I've never really had a nickname for you." She pointed out herself.
"Yeah I know. How about handsome? … Sexy? … Adorable? …" He suggested one after another.
"How about dork?" Gabriella finished for him.
Randy frowned. "That hurts."
Gabriella turned into him placing kisses along his jaw line. "Aw but you'd be my dork. My own personal sexy dork."
Randy flicked his eyebrows in amusement. "Yeah but still. How about stud?"
Gabriella rolled her eyes lightly pushing against his chest. "How about shut up." She ordered making Randy pout his lip. "You going to take a shower first or am I?" She asked ignoring the expression.
"Whatever's clever darling." He replied folding his arms behind his neck.
Gabriella sighed and went to crawl over her daughter but Randy pulled her back. "Go this way." He said pointing in the opposite direction.
"You just want me to go this way because I have to climb over you." She said raising her eyebrows at him.
Randy scrunched his eyebrows in confusion. "I don't know what you're talking about. I just didn't want you to wake up your beautiful sleeping daughter."
Gabriella just 'looked' at him as she straddled his lap. "You mean you didn't want me to do this?" She questioned when Randy smirked at the sight.
"What? No, not at all." He said sitting up to grab her waist.
Gabriella squealed when he stood up with her in his arms. "Randy…" She started.
Randy pushed her up against the bathroom door. "You know I'd really like to join you." He whispered against her neck.
"Yes, but you have to watch your Izzy. She'd be devastated not to find you next to her." She smirked running her fingers through his hair.
Randy groaned and let her feet fall to the floor. "Don't be too long." He ordered.
"Yeah. Okay." She replied before closing the door in his face.
Randy made a face at the door before turning and going back to lye down. He smiled to himself when he heard the faint sound of her singing. He was slowly getting her … slowly but surely he was proving to her that they indeed belonged together.

Gabriella suggested inviting the guys along with them. Randy declared that he wouldn't get bored but Gabriella knew him better and said yes he would. He argued that he was the one that came up with the idea and she just ignored him by shoving the phone to his chest. He scowled at her while he dialed John's number. Ignoring him Gabriella grabbed Isabella's things and threw the bag over her shoulder. Holding her daughter on her hip she waited by the door until Randy was done on the phone. She sighed when he continued to pout and went ahead of him by closing the door in his face. Randy sighed himself before he walked through the door and caught up with her. The twosome spoke not more than one word to each other as they drove to their destination.

"Chuck e cheese. I use to love this place as a kid." Gabriella replied as she waited for Randy to pull Isabella out of her car seat.
Randy made a face as he shut the car door. "Never heard of it." He said matter-of-factly.
Gabriella just turned to 'look' at him. "Yes, you have Orton. We used to go here all the time when we were kids."
Randy shook his head and scrunched his nose. "No. I'd remember."
"Whatever Orton…it's not like I have a better memory than you or anything." Gabriella spat grabbing her daughter out of his arms.
Randy gritted his teeth as he followed her into the building. He grimaced when he saw kids everywhere. He loved Isabella but she was only just one and looking around there were about fifty kids just surronding the place. He followed closely behind Gabriella as she went up to order the pizza. Not that he'd tell her but he was kind of glad now that the guys would be joining them.
"Here." She said shoving a cup of tokens at him.
"What are these for?" Randy questioned.
Gabriella rolled her eyes. "They're for your drink…what do you think they're for?"
Randy frowned and just glared at her. "I know what they're for but why are you giving them to me?"
Gabriella just gave him a polite smile. "I love you." She replied as she handed Isabella back over. "Your idea. So figure out what you're supposed to do." Was all she said before she walked off to find a booth.
Randy made a face at her which made Isabella giggle. He smiled in return. "I love your mom but she just gets me sometimes." When Isabella just looked at him he chuckled to himself. "Not that you know what I'm saying or anything." He replied as he headed off to find a game for them to play.

Gabriella was messing through her purse when the rest of the guys showed up. She smiled and looked up hearing John's voice…she went to say something until she saw a familiar face appear with the others.
"Hi Gabriella." Dave greeted.
