Gabriella just stared on. "Dave." She spoke managing a smile.
Awkward, was the word to use at this point. The former couple just stared at each other. Gabriella with an uncomfortable smile and Dave with his genuine panty dropping smirk. You could definitely say that she was not expecting this to happen.
John coughed to break the tension. "So…" He started.
Gabriella shook her head and made herself look away. "Um. The pizza should be here any minute. Take a seat." She got up and guided the men inside the booth. Carlos (a.k.a Carlito), Johnny, Shelton, and another new face Bobby had joined John and Dave.
"Where's Orton?" Johnny asked as his eyes searched the kid filled restaurant.
Gabriella turned and looked around. "He's out there somewhere." She managed a small laugh as her eyes continued to search.
Everyone found themselves looking for the 'legend killer'. "Who is he out there with?" Dave's voice rang.
"My daughter Isabella. Oh…" She stopped when she caught herself.
Dave's expression told the group that he was caught off guard. "Daughter?" He asked with a single word.
Gabriella took a seat at the end next to Bobby. "Yeah. She's ten months old. Two months until her first birthday." She couldn't help but smile at the thought.
"Wow, really? I didn't even know you had been pregnant." Bobby put in. She'd never really gotten the chance to get to know the young superstar but there'd been a few times when she was with Dave that she caught a moment with him.
Gabriella turned to him and smiled. "I don't think anybody did."
Dave just sat there stunned. What was he supposed to say? He's former girlfriend had a child? I mean, yeah it had been a long while since anybody had seen her but pregnant and a child. Wait, who was the father?
"Who's the father? Randy, I'm assuming?" Dave blurted out catching everybody off guard.
Gabriella took a drink of her water before she said anything. "You assumed wrong and I'd rather not talk about that subject." She warned not only with the tone of her voice but with the 'look' that she gave him.
Dave raised his hands in defeat. "Sorry, didn't mean to jump to conclusions."
Gabriella sighed and put on a smile. "I'm going to go and see if I can find Randy. The food should be here any minute." She repeated herself before she got up and took herself out of the awkward situation.
"What?" Dave asked when he found everyone's eyes on him.
"Nothing." John replied for them as they all shook their heads in unision.
X-x-x-X
Gabriella walked over and under groups of kids to finally find Randy and Isabella. She chuckled to herself when she found him in a car half his size and taking pictures with her daughter. Forgetting the previous situation she walked over and just admired the scene before her.
"I knew I should've brought my camera." She stated out loud grabbing his attention.
Randy laughed as he climbed out of the car with Isabella on his hip. "This little girl doesn't slow down. She's had me running all over the place…literally."
Gabriella placed a kiss on each of their cheeks. "And now you know what I go through each and everyday." She flicked an eyebrow up at him as he wrapped his free arm around her waist.
"And now I know." He agreed with the nod of his head. "Food ready yet? I'm hella hungry."
"Um…" Gabriella started with a clear of the throat. "I should probably tell you something…"
Randy smirked. "Yes, Gabriella I know you think I'm irresistible."
Gabriella rolled her eyes but sighed. "Okay, I do but that's not what I wanted to tell you."
Randy scrunched his eyebrows. "What is it, Bella?"
"Dave's here." She blurted out.
Randy ran his tongue over his teeth as he took in the information. He looked down at Gabriella who just stared up at him waiting for a response.
"I'll be good." He assured as he adjusting Isabella on his hip.
"I'll be good too but Randy even I know this is an awkward situation." Gabriella pointed out as they started to make their way through the crowd.
Randy sighed and rested his eyes upon Dave who sat there talking with the rest of the guys from the group. He gritted his teeth for a quick second but managed a smile when he and Gabriella walked upon the table. The guys stopped in the middle of their conversation to turn and greet the couple.
"Randy, my man." Bobby greeted putting his fist out.
Randy smiled and pounded fists with his free hand. "Lashley, long time, no see."
Bobby nodded his head in agreement. "Sure has been. Smackdown crew was in town, so Cena here invited us." He replied referring to himself and Dave.
Randy found himself staring at Dave. "Dave." He said with a slight nod of his head.
Dave returned the nod. "Orton."
A very awkward silence fell upon the group. Gabriella spotted the food coming their way and let out a sigh of relief.
"The food's here!" She announced as she made way for the waiters to set down the food.
All the men had huge smiles on their faces as they took in the aroma of food. Gabriella shook her head. Give them food and sex and they'd almost always shut the hell up. While they got themselves settled, she grabbed a high chair for Isabella and set it down at the end of the table.
"Can Izzy eat this kind of stuff yet?" Randy asked pointing to the pizza on his plate.
Gabriella looked up after strapping her daughter in. "Yeah. Just little pieces at a time though. Her juice should be in the bag…John do you mind?" Gabriella asked waving to the bag next to him.
John finished swallowing. "Yeah. Here you go." He said handing her the diaper bag.
Randy gave Isabella some of his pizza and Gabriella set up her juice. Gabriella brushed her daughter's hair back before settling down herself and grabbing a piece of her own. For that while, I think Randy and Gabriella had forgotten that Dave was one of the male's around the table…which in turn didn't settle to well with the man himself.
