Told you that this one would be up faster... it's also pretty short, but I think it's an important chapter. You'll see why...

Anyways... I'm glad for all the reviews I got so far... thank you again! Everyone!

Now after discussing with people why Ted/Cody are NOT Legacy... but Randy/Ted/Cody are... and that in my eyes, the three together will always be Legacy and Ted/Cody as a Tag Team will always be Priceless... I've a major headache since almost no one seems to understand... and I see that I'm rambling again so I'll just leave you people to your own thoughts... and the new chapter now! :)

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I only own Tammy... NO ONE else.


About a good hour later they were on their way back home, Tammy driving as she was the only one being sober, Cody sitting next to her while Evan and Randy shared the back-seat.

Honestly after what had went down at the club… after what Cody had tried and said, she felt more than uncomfortable sitting next to him, being anywhere near him, but she knew it only had to be for a short amount of time, just until they dropped them off.

It was a quite drive to Evan's house, Evan almost dozing off, while Randy was grinning like a maniac, still not able to believe the gifts he had gotten that night and if everything was going the way he wanted, the best gift was still waiting for him.

Tammy tried to concentrate on the road as good as possible with Cody glancing at her the whole time, elbow propped against the window, cheek in his hand, mumbling and cursing silently, silent enough not to cause any attention from the guys on the back.

She let out a long sigh of relief as they reached Evan's house and she pulled into the driveway, turning off the engine while Randy nudged Evan's side.

"Hey man… we're here… get your lazy, drunken ass out."

Evan groaned, raising his head to glare at Randy, sticking his tongue out at him.

"I'm not drunken… just tired…"

Randy smirked, shaking his head as he leaned over to open the door for Evan, placing his big hands on the small ones back, playfully shoving him.

"Whatever you are… get out…"

Evan pouted as he stepped outside into the fresh air, turning around with his arms crossed over his chest and a smirk playing on his lips.

"That's how you thank me for your birthday and all the presents, huh?"

He got a smirk in return as Randy tilted his head and arched a brow.

"Aww… poor Evy… you want a kiss?"

The young man grimaced at the thought, gaining chuckles from Tammy and Randy while Cody passed him wordless, stalking over to the front door, just turning around to glare at his friend.

"You coming?"

Randy raised a brow, looking back and forth between Evan and Cody as he walked around the car towards the passenger-seat.

"What's gotten into him?"

Evan shrugged, leaning against the vehicle, his gaze turning from a huffing, grumbling Cody to the elder man.

"I've no idea… maybe he just needs to get laid again?"

If Randy had a drink, he surely would have spilled it as he burst out in laughter, ignoring the glares coming from his best friend and the playful smack on his arm from Tammy.

"Randal… not nice!"

He tried to compose himself again, but could not help but chuckle as Evan smirked.

"What? It's true… he didn't get laid in ages… all the sexual frustration seems to come out as of lately… barking at us, at you… glaring daggers into us… he's no fun anymore."

Cody could obviously hear the conversation as they were not far away and he let out a low growl, turning around on his heals, stalking away towards the backyard, mumbling to himself.

"Fucking idiots… if it wasn't for my own sanity… I'd have gotten laid plenty of times in the past weeks… by her…"

Tammy's eyes followed him until his frame disappeared behind the house, sighing as she shook her head. She had a feeling why Cody was like this… no, she KNEW why he was like this and her guilt grew with every single moment she was near him.

She pecked Evan's cheek and squeezed his shoulder, smiling warmly at the small man.

"Night Evy… thanks for helping with everything… you better go let Cody inside before he decides to just break into your house."

Evan rolled his eyes as he pushed himself off the car, giving her a small nod and hug, before patting Randy's back.

"You two have fun tonight… just not too much."

With a smirk, he left, following Cody to the backyard.

Randy grinned widely as he turned his attention back to Tammy and she already knew what was on his mind, chuckling softly as she stepped back inside the car.

"Wait at least till we're home!"

Randy playfully pouted, taking his seat and closing the door, giving her the best puppy-dog-eyes he could as he brushed his hand over her thigh.

"But… I'm a naughty boy… I don't know if I can wait."

She chuckled, shaking her head, turning on the engine after swatting his hand away, not even glancing over at him.

"Behave!"

He sighed, tucking his bottom-lip in as she slowly left the driveway, her eyes fixed on the road as he pulled his hand away, leaning his head back against the seat.

"You know… I love you."

She could not help but arch a brow, gaze moving over to him for just a second before looking back at the road.

"Where's that coming from now?"

He shrugged as he tilted his head, dreamily looking her over with a smile on his lips, hands now both resting in his lap.

"Just… everything you've done for me today… all those gifts… it's been the best birthday I've ever had and you made it happen… I couldn't be happier."

Her smile slowly grew as her brow dropped again, her right hand slowly moving over to Randy's thigh, searching for his hand, squeezing it as she finally found it.

"I told you… I'd do everything to make you happy… besides this it wasn't just me. I couldn't have done it without the boys."

He grinned slightly, leaning over to rest his head on her shoulder, firmly taking her hand into his, running a thumb over her knuckles.

"I know… but it's been your ideas… you just know how to make me smile… you know what I want… just like when Sam showed up today. You knew exactly what I needed after she'd left… and you were so good with Al… she really likes you… and…" He sighed, squeezing her hand gently as her eyes stayed on the road. "…you're just perfect."

That last part almost broke her heart.

*Yeah… a perfect cheating whore… if only you knew.*

She sighed, trying to shake those thoughts out of her head, quickly pecking his hair.

"I'm far away from being perfect… now hush… if you keep on saying such things I won't be able to concentrate on driving anymore."

He raised his head from her shoulder again, eyes shining brightly as he stared at her beautiful face before softly kissing her cheek and turning back to lean in his seat, keeping a firm hold of her hand and staying silent, until it was time for her to park the car a good five minutes later.


"I have something for you."

She clasped a hand over her heart, his voice startling her as she was just trying to get rid of her make-up, deep into thoughts. She let out a shaky sigh, turning around to look right into his gorgeous blue eyes, sparkling back at her.

"For me?"

She raised a brow; tilting her head a little as he nodded, smile on his small, but perfect lips growing even wider.

"Yeah… just hurry up and get done in here."

He turned back around, but not before gently kissing her lips, leaving the bathroom again. Tammy blinked a few times, wondering what that man had now planned again. Knowing him, she guessed for something kinky… something involving sex… or rather lovemaking… She shook her head as she turned her attention back to the mirror, finishing cleaning her face up from the remarks of the long day, smirking at the thought of what might follow in a few minutes.

However… While thinking about what might follow later, she also re-lived the day… her thoughts stopping at what Cody had said to her in the club, how he had touched her, how hurt he had looked after she had told him off. Her hands grasped the sink tightly as she took a deep breath, shaking her head, trying to get rid of the thoughts. The guilt was slowly, but steadily eating her up… the guilt for having led Cody on and the guilt towards Randy, for having betrayed him, having kissed another man… twice… and enjoying it.

She had to do something about it… soon… she had to tell Randy… but… not tonight. Not on his birthday… no way she was going to ruin it.

She slowly steadied herself again, closing her eyes for a brief moment, before turning on the water, splashing it into her face several times, gasping at the cold fluid mixing with her hot, salty tears.

It took her a bit until she was ready, having changed out of her nights outfit into some of his boxers and his old RKO-shirt… she loved wearing his stuff, loved the smell of it, the comfort it gave her.

Slowly walking back into their bedroom, she saw Randy at the edge of the bed, fidgeting with his hands, looking down at the floor as he nervously chewed on his lips.

Tammy tilted her head to the side, examining him for a while until she cleared his throat.

"Randy? Everything okay?"

He shortly closed his eyes, before looking up, smiling widely at the sight of her in his own clothes. He would never get tired of seeing her in those… it showed him just how much she loved him, worshipped him, just how much he meant to her.

"Yeah… come here!"

He held out a hand to her, waiting until she had slowly made her way over to him, taking it. The frown on her face as she had seen him had not gone unnoticed by him and he gently pulled her down into his lap, wrapping one arm around her waist, pulling her as close as possible as he kissed her right behind her ear.

He could feel her body relax, melt into his touch the instant their skin connected and knew he was doing the right thing.

She still had a confused expression playing on her face, lips pressed together, brows raised as she let herself being pulled into a tight embrace.

"You know… everything I said today… in the car… I meant it."

She slowly nodded, still not knowing where this was leading.

His hot breath tickled the skin behind her ear, his nose brushing against the lobe before he placed another kiss on it.

"You mean everything to me… we're perfect together… I love you more than my own life… almost as much as my lil bug… I don't know what I'd do without you."

She turned her head around to look at him questioningly; a little worried even on his sudden outburst of fluffiness. That usually was not him.

"I know all that… you don't have to tell me…"

Randy hushed her, placing one of his long, tender fingers to her lips, smiling warmly as he shook his head.

"But I want to… just listen, okay?"

As she nodded again, he squeezed her waist carefully, resting his head on your shoulder.

"So… I had the perfect birthday… ALMOST perfect birthday… but I've one thing missing… one small thing that would make me feel complete…"

He let go of her waist, leaning back a little, his hand searching his pocket, slowly pulling out a black velvet box and her eyes instantly widened.

"This here…" He caught sight of her expression and decided to go on faster, not wanting her to jump to any wrong conclusions before he could explain himself. Quickly opening the box, he held it out to her.

"It's a promise ring… don't worry…" He chuckled as he heard the sigh of relief escaping her soft lips. "With that ring…" He took it out of the box with slightly shaking fingers, taking her left hand with his free one, moving the ring towards her finger while his eyes stayed fixed on hers, seeing them dwell up with tears. "I promise you to always be there for you… to always love you, no matter what… to always take care of you… AND our baby… to never leave you alone… and most importantly… to one day make you my wife… rather sooner than later… maybe even as soon as the divorce is through…?!"

That last part came out more as a question than as a statement, because honestly, he did not know how she thought about it.

He nervously licked his lips, hands sneaking around her waist again, staring at her in a mixture of hope and desire, waiting for her to say something… anything.

She took a very deep breath, taking a while to finally get her eyes off the ring to look at Randy, smile slowly forming on her lips as she nodded, whispering with a cracking voice.

"Rather sooner than later…"

He closed his eyes for a second, his smile growing wide in an instant, lips finding hers as soon as he opened his eyes again, pulling her as close as possible as he murmured into the kiss.

"Now it's perfect…"

And the guilt just became unbearable.


Next will be a One-Shot for Buzzi and a Short-Story for Random Heart... (hopefully my mind will stay on those tasks and my muses won't distract me again).

Then I'll update "Want!" ... and last but not least I'll listen to the results of my POLL which will close in 3 days... so hurry up in case you haven't voted yet!

K... I'm off to vacation now. Next stop LONDON! :D
