When Randy woke up Sofie was still sleeping beside him. She looked a lot better already, her skin was flushed pink and her curls a wild mess around her sweet face. He touched her forehead and smiled when he felt no fever. He had at one point during the night removed his pants and shirt and he looked around for them. He put them back on and checked his cell phone. There were a few missed calls but nothing urgent, he answered a text from Mike and told him Sofie was better but had gotten worse last night. He grabbed his wallet and pulled out his credit card, calling the front desk.
"Hey there, I'd like to order room service, can I put it on a different card than the one on file? Great." He ordered a large breakfast for both of them and walked over to the kitchenette putting on a fresh pot of coffee.
When Sofie awoke, breakfast had already been brought up, and she stretched lazily.
"Mmm… something smells amazing!" She said hungrily and walked over to where Randy was.
"Where…. How?" Looking at the food in wonder, Sofie stammered.
"Eat up, princess." He said standing up and kissed her cheek. "I've already eaten, this is all for you. I got to meet with Vince before he leaves town so eat and take it easy. I want updates every hour, if you get worse text me right away. I'll be back, Sofie."
He picked up his things and walked towards the door, putting his shoes on.
"Is everything okay?" she asked looking at him strangely.
"I think so. I have to talk to Vince."
"Not about… me right?" she asked worriedly.
"No Sof, not directly. I just have to make some choices." He looked at her and walked up to her kissing her neck. "Look, when you're feeling better, I want to talk to you about the possibility of you being pregnant. And about our future. I want to be with you, child or no. If I have to sit by and see one more guy flirt with you I'm going to lose my hair."
"You don't have any hair, Randy." She smiled and he kissed her neck again.
"I blame you completely for that."
Sofie laughed and bit into some fruit, causing some juice to trickle down her chin. He quickly inhaled and closed the distance between them. He licked the sweet juice from her chin and kissed her on the mouth as he had been thinking about her lips since RAW when he last tasted her. She moaned softly and stopped himself before he took her right there and than.
"You're going to make me lose my appointment."
"Go on, I was planning on meeting Adam anyways." She said and giggled at his reaction.
He growled and lifted her up throwing Sofie on the bed. He took his shirt off and threw it to the floor.
"Fuck meeting with Vince." He kissed her and Sofie closed her eyes, allowing how he felt to take over.
Randy made love to Sofie as if it was their first time and the two lost themselves to the moment, forgetting everything else. Wild thoughts of Sofie ran through Randy's mind, the simplicity of just being with her excited him beyond what he could take, and he dove deeper into the world they had created. He explored her body and Sofie replied in turn. A while later Randy and Sofie lay in bed together. Sofie's appetite returned and she realized how much of an effort Randy made to be with her. She got up and finished eating the breakfast he had gotten her while he took a quick shower. When he had finished Sofie went back to bed and crawled under the covers snuggling next to him.
"Randy?" She asked quietly.
"Yes?" He murmured in return, playing with a loose curl.
"Tomorrow do I go back to waiting?"
"Vince…"
"What about Vince?" She asked frowning.
"Vince needs me to stay focused. A part of me agrees, no listen, I've worked the last ten years doing everything the man wanted me to, to be able to keep getting the opportunities I want. There's also a part of me that says to hell with it. I don't need him anymore, and what I do need is here in bed with me. I need to sit down with him and just talk it out."
"I understand. However… I can't be the reason that you miss a huge opportunity. I think you were right. We should create some distance, Randy. You know I lo-… adore being with you, but I can't watch you throw away your pro wrestling career. In the end, you would resent me." She spoke quietly.
"Sofie, I could never resent you. I… adore you too. Besides, what if you're pregnant?"
"I'll do a test tonight. If I am pregnant, I'll let you know. We can deal with that together if it is a reality. Until then, I want you to just focus on yourself. And… and forget about me, for a while." Sofie said bravely but inside her heart was breaking. She wanted to be with Randy, but she knew very well what that industry meant and what you had to compromise and relinquish for it.
"Can we have the rest of the day together at least?" He asked her.
"Is there a point?"
"I'll go, but I need you to call me tonight." Sofie promised him she would call and he got ready to leave. When they walked to the door Randy pulled her in one last time and kissed her softly.
"This thing between us isn't done, Sofie." He whispered in her ear.
"I know."
"Stay away from Adam." He said it more like an order than a request.
"Please." She pouted and he grinned.
"Stay away from Adam, please?" He repeated and scowled when she replied with a: "Maybe."
"We'll figure this whole thing out. I can't describe how much your understanding means to me, and I don't want to lose you."
After Randy had left Sofie showered and dressed to go to the drugstore. She was feeling a little better, but still a little weak. She was cold again and realized her fever was back. She would buy a pregnancy test and some cold medication, as she felt like she was about to get a nasty cold. Unless this is what being pregnant meant, which she hoped it wasn't. Once at the store Sofie bought a few essentials, a few personal toiletries and picked up what seemed like the best pregnancy test. She returned to her hotel and left the test on the counter, ignoring it for the few hours. She watched a few re-runs on the television and even read a bit of her book, every now and than glancing over to the countertop where her pharmacy plastic bag lay. The idea of having a child with Randy secretly amazed her and even thought she would never admit it if she wasn't pregnant, she was ready for motherhood. She was starting to crave and embrace her instinctual paternal rumblings inside her and she became slightly nervous of facing the truth.
She finally gathered the courage and walked into the bathroom with the test. After peeing on the little white stick, Sofie waited. She sat it down on the side of the bathtub and walked out into the kitchen. After washing her hands Sofie prepared some tea and sipped the hot liquid slowly, while pretending to read.
After a full cup, Sofie stood up and walked to the bathroom, stopping at the entrance door. She went in and grabbed the stick, not looking at it.
She paced back to the bed and sat down while grasping the test results in her hand. When she finally looked down and saw her answer Sofie's jaw dropped.
