Chapter 26

"Where are we going?" Bob asked.

"Adrina is in labor. Randy took her to the hospital an hour ago. Alanna is awake and ate lunch. Lets head to the hospital and see how things are going." Elaine answered.

"Okay. Did Randy call Jay?" Bob asked.

"He said he would." Elaine answered.

As the Orton's and Cena's were getting ready to leave the house, Randy checked on Adrina who was still sleeping. He smiled at her and placed a kiss on her forehead before heading back into the hallway to call Adrina's dad. He knew that he should call Denise, but since she hadn't bothered to call or anything, Randy opted not to call her. Randy dialed Jay's number and waited for him to answer.

"Hello." Jay answered.

"Jay, it's Randy. Adrina is in labor and we are at the hospital." Randy stated.

"Are Adrina and the baby okay?" Jay asked.

"Yeah. The baby is just ready to be born." Randy answered.

"Okay. I will be there as soon as I can. Did you call Denise?" Jay asked.

"No. She hasn't bothered to be in our lives in the past few months. If you want to tell her that's fine. But I am not calling her." Randy answered.

"Okay. Thank you. See you as soon as I can." Jay responded.

"See you soon." Randy stated before hanging up.

Randy walked back into the room and Adrina was now awake. Randy looked over at the machine that measured the contractions and noticed that the contractions were really close together. He then looked over at the fetal monitor and that remained stable as did Adrina's blood pressure.

"I'm going to find a nurse or doctor to check on you. The contractions are registering really close together." Randy stated.

"Okay. I can feel a lot of pressure but no pain." Adrina responded. "And hurry back."

"I will baby." Randy stated as he left to find a doctor or nurse.

After finding the nurse, she checked on Adrina and she was already fully dilated and 100% effaced. The nursed paged the doctor while she helped Adrina sit up some and helped her push to help the baby come down further. Once the doctor was there, he set up the room to deliver the baby. Adrina pushed with Randy and the nurse's help.

After pushing for about 30 minutes, everyone was quiet and soon the baby let out a loud cry. The doctor showed Randy where to cut the umbilical cord and Randy cut it after wiping tears away. Another nurse took the baby to be cleaned off, weighed and measured. They also wanted to make sure that everything was okay with the baby since he was 8 weeks early. Randy walked over to his son and took a few pictures before heading over to his wife who was now cleaned up herself and resting in bed.

"You have a very healthy 6lbs 5ozs, 21 inches long, baby boy." A nurse stated as she handed the baby to Adrina.

"He is perfect babe. I love you!" Randy stated as he sat next to her on the bed and looked down at their son.

"Yes he is. I love you too. Why don't you see if everyone is in the waiting room yet." Adrina responded.

"What about a name for our son?" Randy asked.

"How about Lucas Randal Orton." Adrina answered.

"It's perfect." Randy stated. "Welcome to the world, Lucas."

Randy headed out to the waiting room to see his parents, his daughter, John and Becky sitting there waiting for him. He walked over to them and picked up Alanna and hugged her. Everyone wanted to ask the same question, but Alanna beat them to it.

"Mommy have baby yet?" Alanna asked.

"Yes she did. Would you like to meet your baby brother?" Randy answered.

"YAY! Yes daddy!" Alanna cheered.

"Come on back everyone." Randy stated as he lead them back to Adrina's room.

Adrina was sitting up in bed as she had just finished feeding Lucas a bottle. Randy walked over to the bed and sat down next to Adrina with Alanna in his arms. Elaine and Bob were next to walk in followed by Becky and John. Alanna looked at Adrina and then down at the baby. Elaine pulled out her camera and took a picture just as Alanna bent over and kissed her brother on the forehead.

"My baby." Alanna stated.

"He is our baby." Adrina responded.

"Okay. What his name?" Alanna asked.

"Lucas." Adrina answered.

"Hi Lucas. I sissy." Alanna responded.

"Aww. That is so cute!" Elaine stated. "Congratulations, Mommy and Daddy."

"Thank you. He came rather quickly, but he is healthy." Adrina responded.

"What are his stats?" Bob asked.

"6lbs 5ozs and 21 inches long." Randy answered.

"Big boy just like his daddy." Elaine responded.

"Who wants to hold him first?" Adrina asked.

"Mom, you go first." Becky answered.

"Thank you dear." Elaine stated as she picked up her grandson and held him close to her. "He is just adorable."

"He is a good combination of the both of you." Bob stated.

"Thanks dad." Randy stated as he wrapped an arm around Adrina and Alanna climbed into her lap and laid her head against Adrina's shoulder.

Once everyone had the chance to hold the newest member of the Orton family, John and Becky headed home as she was getting worn out from all the excitement of that day. Bob and Elaine stayed a little while longer before taking Alanna home with them so that Adrina and Randy could have some time with just the baby.

"I still can't believe he's here." Randy stated as he held his son.

"Me too. It's time for him to be changed and to eat." Adrina responded.

"Are you going to try to nurse him?" Randy asked.

"I wanted to just so that he would get the good stuff, but my milk hasn't come in yet. When it does I will nurse him and we can still give him bottles." Adrina answered as she got out a diaper and wipes.

Randy changed their son while Adrina fixed a bottle. Adrina watched as Randy took care of their baby and she couldn't help but smile. She handed Randy the bottle before climbing back into bed. A nurse brought in her dinner and Adrina just picked at it. While attempting to eat the hospital dinner, Adrina's phone rang.

"Hello." Adrina answered.

"Hi baby girl. How are you feeling?" Jay asked his daughter.

"Good. We tried calling you a little while ago, but your phone went to voice mail." Adrina answered.

"I was on a flight to St. Louis. I just arrived about 20 minutes ago and got my rental car." Jay responded.

"Well, hurry up and get here so you can meet your grandson." Adrina stated.

"He's already here?" Jay asked.

"Yes. He came quickly, but he is very healthy. Dad, can you by chance pick Randy and I up something to eat? This hospital food sucks." Adrina answered.

"Wow. I'm glad he is healthy. What would you two like?" Jay asked.

"2 McDonald's cheeseburgers no onions and a diet coke please and Randy wants a number 1 with diet coke." Adrina answered.

"Okay. I will be there as soon as I can." Jay responded.

"Thank you dad." Adrina stated before hanging up.

Twenty minutes later, Jay walked into the room with their food and got to see his grandson for the first time. Randy placed the sleeping baby in Jay's arms while he and Adrina ate their food. Jay was on cloud nine holding the newborn.

"Does mom know yet?" Adrina asked.

"I called and left her a message telling her that you were in labor. But I haven't heard from her." Jay answered.

"Okay. She hasn't bothered to stay in contact with us since I was 9 weeks pregnant." Adrina stated. "Are you still, um..."

"No. I stopped the affair with Eve after I overheard her saying that she was going to leave me and go after Randy when he returned after the baby was born. I told Vince what she was planning and she's been suspended." Jay responded knowing what his daughter was trying to ask. "But I am still not home like your mother wants me to be and I am honestly thinking about filing for divorce from her."

"You need to do what you think is best. I don't like mom and I don't like the way she treated us all these years. Why do you think I rebelled so much?" Adrina stated.

"I know. I wish I could have been home more and maybe things would have been different. But I can't change the past, I can only work on the present and the future." Jay responded.

Adrina just smiled at her dad who cuddled with his grandson for a little while longer. After visiting hours were over, Jay headed to the hotel and Randy put the baby in his bed. Adrina moved over in the bed and Randy laid down with her and just held her close to him. He couldn't wait to have his whole family at home together.

Adrina and Lucas were released from the hospital two days later. Becky, John, Jay, Bob and Elaine decorated the house with blue balloons, a welcome home banner and an "It's A Boy" flag while they waited for Randy to bring them home. As they pulled up to the house, Adrina saw the decorations and just smiled. She couldn't have been any happier than she was right then.
