5 months later...

Jamie woke up in the early morning hours and snuggled into Randy's arms. He smiled in his semi-conscious state and wrapped his arms more tightly around her careful of the growing baby bump that was currently pressed against his side. Things had settled down for them a little and they were adjusting to married life, a feat that was a little more challenging for Jamie than Randy. There had been a trial for Wade and his involvement in Jamie's abuse and Melody and Nikki's kidnapping. He'd been sentenced to 20 years. And for Jamie it was the beginning of the closure she'd needed. Randy kissed her on the forehead and smiled contentedly at him.

"I didn't mean to wake you." She said softly.

"It's alright baby. You okay?" He said his deep voice full of sleep.

"Yeah I am. Just thinking. Melody wants to go shopping today for baby things. I so don't really want to. I would rather be here with you." She smiled.

"Then call her and tell her you want to stay here with your husband. That way she can torture your brother."

"I know but it's supposed to be a girl thing."

"Well it's up to you. If you want to go, go but you don't, then call her and spend the day with me. I'm sure we could find a way to pass the time." She laughed.

"Maybe, I'll stay." She said as she leaned in and kissed him. Just then the phone rang and he sighed as he pulled away to answer it.

"Melody." He said handing her the phone.

She laughed. "Hey, Mel. What's up?"

"I wanted to know if we were still on shopping."

Jamie looked over at her husband and sighed. She really would rather stay with him than go shopping. "Mel, I'm not really feeling up to it. Can we go tomorrow?"

"Oh okay I understand." Melody said with some disappointment in her voice that Jamie sensed. "Yeah that's fine. Just call me."

"Alright. I am sorry Mel."

"No biggie. See you tomorrow."

Jamie hung up and looked at Randy. "Now I feel like crap. She sounded disappointed."

Melody hung up and sighed. She had really wanted to go but she understood that Jamie and Randy were still in the newlyweds' stage. She looked up as John walked in.

"I thought you and Jamie were going shopping?"

"She said she wasn't feeling well."

"Ewwww, she's staying at home to...I can't even think about it." She laughed. He smiled.

"You know the quickest way not to think about it don't you?" She said as she walked over and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You just...do something to distract yourself."

"I can definitely do that." He smiled and picked her up and headed upstairs.

Randy and Jamie lay in bed after making love again. "So, since you're not shopping with Melody today, how about I make us a nice lunch."

"Great. Why don't you do that? I wanted to call Mike anyway. It's been forever."

He nodded and kissed her on the forehead as he got up and went downstairs to make lunch. She picked up her cell phone and dialed Mike's number. She waited as it rang three times and just like every time before, it went to voicemail. 'Hey, it's Mike. Leave a message and I'll get back to you."

"Mike, its Jamie. Please call me. I want to talk to you." She hung up and sighed. He hadn't been returning any calls. He occasionally called Melody because she would bombard him with ten calls in one day and he knew it was just better to call her. But it was usually just to let her know he was okay.

She sighed. She hoped he was okay and that he was processing things.

Mike looked at his cell phone as he stood in the hotel room and sighed dropping it on the bed. They'd all called him over the last few months. He'd called Melody once or twice but he hadn't talked to anyone else really. He just needed to clear his head. To deal with things in his own way. He looked at himself in the mirror, the dark circles under his eyes showing. He hadn't slept well. The images of Nikki in the passenger seat of John's rental, clinging to life haunted him. He saw them every time he closed his eyes. He sighed to himself. He didn't know how he was ever going to get over her.

"Any luck getting Mike?" Randy asked as he walked back in.

"No. I don't get why he doesn't call."

"He called Mel the other day. Said he was okay and the time was doing him good."

"Yeah that's what he says but what if it's not true? What if he is bad and he is hurting himself?"

"He's not. He is just dealing with things." He kissed her on the forehead. "Now, don't stress our son out. Let's go eat some lunch and then you can relax in the tub later and maybe we can watch a movie or something." She smiled and nodded.

"Remind me to thank Vince for giving you this time off. I really don't think I could have been this okay without you being here." Randy smiled and kissed her on the lips.

"I love you. And nothing is going to change that."

Melody and John sat on the sofa in the living room watching a movie. After making love, Melody wanted to watch her favorite movie and have pizza. John knew when she wanted pizza to give it to her.

"So, did you want to go baby shopping today?" He asked as they sat there.

"I was thinking that maybe I would just shop on line."

"Alright. Has Mike called you this week?"

"Yes, he called the other day and he was okay. I hope he comes back soon. I know he's trying to deal with Nikki's death and the death of the baby. But he should be around friends."

"I'm sure Mike will be back." He smiled and hugged her. He really hoped Mike was okay and was coming back. "Just rest and focus on keeping our little girl safe." He said as he kissed her on the forehead. "It's still kind of hard for me to believe that in just a few months, I'm going to be a father and an uncle."

"I know the feeling. I can't believe I'm going to be a mom and an aunt and our kids will be about the same age. Little terrors I'm sure."

"Now how can you say that about Alden Nicole? She is going to be a perfect angel."

"Says daddy. So I guess you're making her a daddy's girl already?"

"Of course I am."

"And your nephew will grow up to be a wrestler?"

"Of course. He'll be a legacy." He smiled. "A fourth generation superstar."

"With the Orton cockiness right?"

"Oh yeah plus the Cena never give up attitude. He will be the ultimate wrestler."

She laughed. "I'm sure Jamie and Randy will have something to say about that."

"Oh you know Randy will be all for it. And I'm sure he will convince Jamie."

"Okay I don't want to think about them having sex either." Melody laughed. John smiled and kissed her. "I'm glad Jamie's happy. She deserves it." John nodded.

"Everyone deserves love and I'm glad Jamie got a second chance at it." Melody nodded and leaned up and kissed him.

"I agree. After everything, we all deserve a little happiness."

"And I'm sure we'll all find it." He kissed her and they soon drifted off to sleep.

Everyone was getting their second chance after the trauma they had been through. They only hoped that Mike could find the peace and happiness he so deserved. That he could find his second chance.
