Chapter 29

Randy was up before Alyssa was the next morning and he couldn't help but watch her sleep she was sleeping peacefully, it had been a late night as Camden had been up and only wanted her mommy. Randy had tried to calm her down but nothing was working and Alyssa just had the magic touch and thankfully went back down easy and was still sleeping. After getting cleaned up and checking on the twins he headed down to make breakfast and surprise Alyssa in bed. Randy was in the kitchen when the doorbell rang he was confused to who was at the house and groaned when he looked through the peephole.

When Randy didn't answer the door they started to bang on the door which woke up Camden and she started to cry Alyssa climbed out of bed and picked her up and changed her. Randy walked up and took her from Alyssa.

"Who is here this early Randy?" Alyssa asked as they checked on Kyler who was also waking up. Alyssa changed him and they walked downstairs to the doorbell still being rang, and pounding on the door.

"Go look and have at it. I love you. Here let me take Kyler." Randy said and kissed Alyssa on the lips.

"That bad?" Alyssa asked as she handed the baby over. Who ever was banging on the door kept going ringing the doorbell and Alyssa had enough after she saw who it was. Alyssa yanked the door open. "You happy now you woke both of my babies up and why in the blue hell are you here?"

Alyson just stood there with a dazed look on her face and tried to smile but couldn't. "I...I .. can't do it anymore, she is here..." and walked off and got back in her car. Alyssa just stood there and looked down as there was a little girl who looked like she hadn't been taken care of in awhile. Alyssa bent down and smiled at the little girl.

"Hi. I'm Alyssa, what is your name?" she asked

"Daryen." she said and started to cry. Alyssa picked her up and walked into the house and closed then locked the door. "Shh it's okay sweetie."

"Hey baby what did Alyson want?" Randy asked as he walked into the front hall and saw that Alyssa had a little girl in her arms. "What is wrong?"

"She just dropped her off and left. Call your mom and see if she can't come get the twins. I am going to give her a bath. Come up with my medical bag please." Alyssa said and smiled at her husband who nodded his head in agreement. Daryen lets go take a bath. Big tub or little tub?"

"Big" Daryen said quietly. Alyssa nodded her head and smiled at the little girl who looked like she was about to cry. Alyssa sat her down on their bed and started to water and finally had the water to the perfect temp and filled it up some and Randy walked in with her medical bag.

"Mom called Catherine for us and took the twins for the night. I will call John and tell him we wont be there till later. Your mom called as well and said they would keep Aub tonight. Is she okay?" Randy asked quietly as he handed Alyssa her medical bag.

"She is scared. I don't know when the last time she ate was. I'm worried about her. Will you hold her while I listen to her please?" Alyssa asked "Daryen Randy is going to hold you while I listen to your heart okay." Daryen looked up and started to cry. Randy started to talk to her as he held her close while Alyssa listened to her heart and lungs and smiled. "She is okay just scared. Daryen do you like pancakes?" The little girl just nodded her head in agreement. Randy pressed a kiss to her forehead then followed Alyssa into Aubrey's room and found some clothes for her and took her from Randy who kissed his wife. Randy walked down to make some pancakes for the little girl while Alyssa gave her a bath. Alyssa grabbed the lotion she used on Aubrey and smoothed lotion on her arms and legs and back and listened to her again and just did an overall exam, she was a healthy little girl who just hadn't been taken care of. After getting her dressed and doing her hair Alyssa carried her downstairs after finding a new blanket for her and carried her into the kitchen where she ate very little saying she was full. Alyssa cleaned up the kitchen and smiled at her husband who had sat down on the couch with the little girl and she had climbed into his lap and snuggled into him and was starting to fall asleep against him.

"Randy I'm going to get cleaned up. Call my phone if you need me." Alyssa said quietly. Randy waved her on. Catherine had called and would be there that afternoon. Alyssa walked by the front of the house and looked outside and saw that there was a car in front of their house. "Randy come here please."

Randy stood up and laid Daryen down on the couch and covered her up and walked over to where Alyssa was standing and placed his hands on her shoulders and started to massage them. "What is it honey?"

"That is the car Alyson got into. I thought she left. Maybe I should go and check on her, she looked dazed and confused when she dropped Daryen off. She could barely talk." Alyssa said.

Randy looked at Alyssa and didn't want her to get hurt at all. "I will walk out honey and see what is going on. If she wakes up she might be more apt to come to you and not me." before kissing her on her lips and smiled as he slipped his shoes and grabbed the house phone since they had yet to get new ones. Randy walked out and down to see what was going on with Alyson who seemed to be sleeping with the window down and after trying to wake her up by calling her name out, shaking her he felt for her pulse and didn't find one. After walking to the house he sat down on the porch. Alyssa opened up the front door and sat down next to him. Randy pressed a kiss to her temple and picked up the phone and called 911. After explaining what happened they said the medics and police were on the way.

"Randy what do we do about Daryen?" Alyssa asked

"Take care of Daryen till we can figure out what to do honey. I will tell you this now I don't want to put her in foster care, that is just wrong." Randy said. Alyssa smiled at her husband and nodded her head in agreement and laid her head on his shoulder. "Why don't you go get in the shower and clean up. I will be here. Catherine in on her way now."

"Okay honey." Alyssa said and got up and walked into check on the sleeping little girl and listened to heart and lungs again and headed to their room and climbed into the shower. Alyssa didn't take long and after getting dressed she walked back down and grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge. Randy was sitting at the kitchen table and talking with Catherine.

"Hi Alyssa how are you?" Catherine asked as she sat down by Randy.

"Confused to what is going on, why she left her daughter here and what happened to her." Alyssa said

"That is understandable. Why don't we find her grandma and see what can be done. Randy was telling you two don't want to put her in foster care is that right?" Catherine said

"That is right. It's not her fault." Alyssa said as the little girl woke up and started to cry. Alyssa walked in and picked her up . "It's okay sweetie." as Alyssa held her close and started to rub her back to comfort her. Daryen calmed down nearly right away and just snuggled into Alyssa.

"I do know that Jodi Becket is on her way to talk to you two about her staying with you. I know that the police called after Alyson was taken away. Do you know anything about her family?" Catherine asked "Jodi is very nice and easy to work with."

"I know nothing. I know her mom lived her in St Louis but should could have lied about that. We barely know anything. She tried to pass Daryen off as my daughter. She is Joel as in Alyssa's ex's daughter." Randy said as the door bell rang and Alyssa passed Daryen over to Randy and got up to answer the door.

Alyssa opened the door to find a very nice dressed woman standing there with a smile on her face and a shoulder bag. "Hello I'm Jodi Becket, I work with social services." she said

"Hi, we have been expecting you. I am Alyssa Orton." as she held the door open for Jodi to come in. "Follow me my husband and our lawyer are in the kitchen." Alyssa led the way and Jodi followed "Randy this is Jodi she is the social worker, and this is Catherine our lawyer."

"Hi nice to meet you I would shake your hand but I have a little girl who is tracing my tattoo's right now" Randy said and smiled at her.

"It's okay, she seems happy. Hello Catherine it's good to see you again." Jodi said

"Please have a seat. Do you two want something to drink?" Alyssa asked

"I will take some tea if you have it handy?" Jodi said. Catherine just shook her head no. Alyssa got up and poured a glass of tea for Jodi and handed it to her and then sat by down by Randy who wrapped an arm around his wife's shoulders.

"So what can we do to protect Daryen here?" Alyssa asked

"I can place her with you for the next few days till we find out if she has other family around. I don't know if her father is in the picture or not." Jodi said as she pulled out a legal pad and started to make a few notes. "I arrange for a hearing today this afternoon."

"The only thing we do know is that my ex boyfriend Joel is her father who is in prison for raping me and stabbing Randy, he isn't fit to be around." Alyssa said as Randy smiled at his wife and started to rub her back to comfort her.

"I'm sorry that happened Alyssa. I don't think a judge would ever place a child with him to begin with. I can do some digging and see what all I can find out and we can go from there. Do you have the room here for her?" Jodi asked

"Alyssa and I have more than enough room for her here with us. Aubrey is the same age she is and we also have twins that are only a month old. There is more than enough love and room for Daryen to stay here. I can go and buy her a bed and get more clothes for her. Alyson left her with nothing." Randy said

"Do you mind if I can see the room? Randy I also have to ask if you are going to start traveling again. I know you are a professional wrestler and gone a lot." Jodi said

"Sure. Actually I am retired and not returning anytime soon as I own a wrestling school here in St Louis." Randy said as everyone stood up and followed Randy and Alyssa up the stairs. Randy showed the room that was next to theirs and it was pretty nice and the same size as Aubrey's and the twins.

"Randy I am impressed she would have her own room and then share a bathroom. I will make the recomendation to have her placed with you till we can find a more permanent place for her. If we can't you may have her all the time." Jodi told them.

"I think I speak for both Randy and I, we would like to adopt her as well make the plans for it. I don't want her in a home with 10 other children and not get the loving care she would here with us." Alyssa said

"I will see what I can do. I will call you with a time for court. Is there a number I can get ahold of you on?" Jodi asked

"Yeah I will give you my cell number. Even though its not working right now they would be with in the next few hours. We are headed to Verizon and getting new phones today and then take Daryen here shopping." Randy said

"I was wondering why you called me from the house phone Randy." Catherine said

"Aub threw the phones in the pool down at the school last night." Alyssa said and everyone laughed.

Jodi and Catherine headed out at the same time. Jodi headed straight to the court house and placed paperwork to have the Orton's temporary guardian of Daryen. Randy found some shoes that were Aubrey's and slipped them on. Daryen was starting to warm up to Randy and was giggling and smiling. After heading out the two headed to get new phones and soon shopping for Daryen. Randy called both Jodi and Catherine with news that their phones were up and working. That afternoon they were sitting in the court room hoping that the judge listened to both Jodi and Catherine and place Daryen in their care. The judge heard everything and placed Daryen in the Orton's care and set a date in 6 months to review and would talk final placement then. The judge also told them that since Joel was in prison he had no parental rights and she had no other family as both of Joel's parent had been dead for close to three years and the same with Alyson's family.

That evening they decided to have a family dinner with both sets of parents and after Elaine said to come to their house around 4pm for supper then they were having a night alone or so they thought.

"Randy." Alyssa said

"What is it babe?" Randy asked

"Did she go down easy?" Alyssa asked as Randy laid down next to his wife and pulled her to his chest and wrapped his arms around her.

"She did. I was shocked she let me put her down. She is a total sweetie." Randy said and pressed a kiss to Alyssa's forehead "You need to rest babe." Alyssa was sound asleep against his chest with in minutes and he feel asleep quickly as well.

Alyssa slept for a few hours before waking up as she rolled over she smiled as Randy was still cuddled up behind her. After looking at the time Alyssa decided to let Randy sleep some more and got cleaned up and then walked into Daryen's room to check on her as they had to be at Bob and Elaine's for supper in under two hours as they also had a show that night. Alyssa couldnt' help but smile at Daryen who was sitting up in bed and playing with one of the new toys she had gotten that morning.

"Hi Daryen did you sleep good?" Alyssa asked and she just nodded her head and smiled up at Alyssa. "We need to get ready to go. Do you want to wear one of your new outfits we got today?" Daryen just nodded her head yes and Alyssa picked her up and together they picked out a cute green shirt that had pink butterflies on it and some jeans shorts to match. After getting her changed, they walked into wake up Randy.

"Babe have you seen my watch?" Randy asked when the two girls walked in to wake him up. Alyssa sat Daryen down on their bed and turned on the TV and smiled as she got into her purse and handed Randy his watch. "Thanks baby"

"You are welcome. Not like you don't have a huge collection of watches to choose from. Daryen and I are ready to go." Alyssa said "We need to head out."

"I hope our parents understand our decision to bring her into our home." Randy said

"They will honey don't worry too much." Alyssa said and the three soon headed out to Randy's parents house. Elaine had already knew as Randy had called to check on the twins and she completely understood and thought that what Randy and Alyssa were doing was very nice and selfless. Randy drove them in the direction and soon were pulling up in front of his parents house and everyone was already there. Randy helped Alyssa out and then helped Daryen out of her seat and she wanted him to carry her.

It wasn't long and Aubrey was launching herself at her parents and hugged them close. After sitting down and explaining what was going on Karen had tears in her eyes as did Elaine again from hearing it. Both Bob and Marty were happy that Randy and Alyssa were doing something to help her. Aubrey and Daryen were playing on the floor with some of the toys Aubrey was playing with her nerf ball and Randy was on the floor with them and Aubrey couldn't help but smack him in the face with the ball and started to giggle when Randy picked her up and started to tickle her.

That night after the show at the school every one crashed. Daryen was sleeping soundly when Randy checked on her and covered her back up then checked on Aubrey who was out like a light. Randy made the rounds as he checked on each of the family. Randy couldn't help but smile at his family how much it has grown and how much love he had for everyone. He truly was a lucky man.

A/N: What goes on next with Daryen? How does Aubrey adjust to another little girl in the family will she stop being a terror with the twins? Please read and review thank you
