Chapter 37
A few days later:
Kate was waiting for Gracie to get out of school. She was holding Kiley in her arms holding Logan's hand.
"Mommy's I board where's sissy?" Logan asked her as he tugged on her hand.
"In her classroom. Just a few more minutes."
Finally the bell range and all the kids came coming out. A few minutes went back and the hall way began to clear out but Kate still didn't see Gracie.
"Where is she?" Kate thought to herself when she saw her walking up to her with a sad look on her face.
"What's wrong princess?" Kate asked her very upset daughter.
"I was on red today?"
"What Why?" Kate asked concerned.
"Ms. Wagner said I was talking but I wasn't Mom. I really wasn't. She gave me this note too. She wants to talk to you." Gracie said as she handed Kate the note.
Kate and all three kids walked to Gracie's class room.
"Logan I need you to be on your very best behavior so I can talk to Gracie's teacher ok?"
"OK Mommy." Logan said.
Kate sat Kiley down and Gracie began to play with her.
"Mrs. Orton." Ms. Wagner said as she saw Kate. "I am so glad that you got my note and could come in today we need to talk."
"Yeah I think we do. Gracie said that she was on red today." Kate said as she glanced back at her three kids who were still playing.
" Yes she was. I've noticed she had a little bit of an attitude lately and has been very defiant." She began. " Today she wouldn't stop talking during math and then refused to do the worksheet I passed out."
"I know that there has been a lot going on at home with us lately. But that doesn't sound like Gracie at all."
"I know being married to a WWE Super star must be hard." She said with a chuckle. " But that's not my problem. You need to deal with that at home. Gracie needs to learn that she can't get away with whatever she wants just because her dad is Randy Orton."
Kate was pissed. "Excuse me? I agree just because of who her dad is she shouldn't get away with anything. But Gracie is an amazing kid and is always happy. Did you happen to ask her why she didn't want to do her math?" Kate asked.
"Mrs. Orton I have 26 3rd graders. I don't have to time to deal with a little 8-year-old diva. Gracie's been warned next time I will just give her a failing grade."
Kate rolled her eyes "I will talk to her but you give my kid a failing grade she doesn't deserve we are going to have a huge problem understand me?"
"She does the work and listens then we wont have a problem Mrs. Orton." Ms. Wagner said.
Kate went to the door and she picked up Kiley and grabbed Logan's hand.
"Oh ad Mrs. Orton." Ms. Wagner said as Kate turned around to look at her. "Say Hi to Dean Ambrose for me will you." She said.
Kate rolled her eyes once again and left the room with the kids talking under her breath.
"What a bitch!"
"What Mom?" Gracie said looking up at Kate as they were going to the car.
"Nothing sweet heart."
On the way home Kate asked questions about her teacher. Lindsey Wagner was a 23 student teacher for this semester.
"She's mean to me mom all the time."
"What do you mean?" Kate asked as she was driving down the road.
"She's always telling me I'm talking and I'm not."
"What about your worksheet?"
"She didn't give me one. She passed them out to our row and I sit in the back now and I didn't get one. When I asked her for one she said I lost it and wouldn't give me another one."
"Really?"
"Yeah ... then she even asked if I knew Dean."
"What did you tell her?"
"I said that I know him and that you and him are friends and he hangs out at our house a lot. Then she asked about Dad." Gracie said.
That pissed Kate off even more she was trying to wrap her head around what the heck was going on.
Later that evening Kate was in the kitchen making dinner while Gracie was sitting at the bar finishing her homework. Kiley and Logan were off playing in the living room. She was talked to Randy when she got home and told him all about her teacher he was just as upset and said that he was going to the school when he got home on Wednesday.
"What the hell is her problem?" Randy snapped.
"I don't know. I just wanted you to know."
"Kate about ... the ... " He started to say.
"I told you we would talk when you get home on Wednesday alright?"
"OK Kate you need to be resting more you sound tired." Randy said with concern.
"I'm fine I promise. I have a check up on Thursday." Kate reminded him.
"I know I will be there. I love you."
Kate just nodded even if he couldn't see the nodded she hung up the phone.
"Mommy!" Logan said as he ran across the kitchen floor in just is sock feet he crashed into Kate.
"LOGAN! Be careful." Gracie yelled at him.
" I sorry mommy. You OK?" Logan said still holding on to Kate's leg and placed on hand on her tummy.
"I'm fine Monkey. Gracie its not nice to yell at your brother like that. He was just playing."
"I know but he's always running around like a lunatic and I don't want you to get hurt."
"Gracie Lynn Orton what are you talking about? Why would you call you brother a lunatic?"
"Well he is. He always doing stupid stuff and running around here he says and does whatever he wants. Like he doesn't understand whats going on around here." Gracie told her mom.
"Gracie sweet heart what is going on with you?"
" I don't want you and dad to live apart ok! I know the only reason you fight and we have to move is because of Logan and Dean! It's not fair! I want you and my dad to be together!" Gracie yelled as she ran up stairs with in a few minutes Kate heard her door slam shut.
Logan was still hanging on to Kate's leg almost in tears.
"Mommy is that true I the reason you and daddy fight and we get a new house?" Logan asked in a scared quiet voice.
"Logan Scott listen to me" Kate began as she picked him up and sat him on the counter. "You know that I love you so much right?"
"I love you too mommy."
"You also know that Daddy loves you." Logan just nodded. "And Daddy Dean .. we know he loves you too. Yes Mommy and Daddy fight. But you are not the reason. OK Bubba ... do you understand?"
Logan sat there a moment not saying anything. " Yeah I guess. Why is Gracie so mad?"
"I don't know. She's a girl and we get mad for no reason sometimes. You do know that your sister loves you." Kate told him.
"Girls are weird!"
"You don't even know the half of it Bubba." Kate smiled.
"I am glad to be having a brother." Logan smiled as he placed his hand on her round belly. Kate smiled as she kissed his forehead.
"Mommy what's for dinner?"
"Meat loaf." She told him.
"Yuck!"
Kate laughed "You'll like it and eat it." She told him.
"Tatoes?"
"Yes of course. Now you go play with Kiley ok?"
"OK." He said as Kate lifted him off the counter and he ran into the living room the second his feet hit the floor.
Kate placed one hand on her belly and one on her lower back as a pain ran across her lower back.
"I know baby boy. I know. Things will work out ... at least I hope they will."
After dinner Gracie still wasn't talking. Logan and Kiley were on the couch watching cartoons.
"Gracie Lynn? Princess please talk to me? What's going on?"
"I just don't want you and dad apart ok. You love him and he loves you and if there were no Dean then you would be together. So just stay together. Dad is gone enough. I know you love Dean ... Why can't you love my dad like that?" Gracie said as she once again ran up the stairs.
"Good Question Princess! Good question." Kate said her herself.
Kate got the kids ready for bed she read Logan and Kiley a story in Kiley's room and then laid her down.
"Your turn Logan."
"Another Story Please?"
"Alright one more." Kate said as they went to his room. He jumped on the bed and handed her a book. Kate smiled as she read him "Where the Wild Things Are."
"This is your favorite book huh?"
"Yes it is. I love it when Daddy reads it to me."
Kate finished the book and kissed him good night. She then went into Gracie's room she was listening to music.
"Gracie it's bed time."
"OK."
"Do you want to talk Princess?"
"Not really."
"You know that you can talk to me and your dad about anything right?"
"I know. I just ... I don't want you and dad to live apart. I know you love Dean and he loves you but Dad loves you too. Can't you just stay married to him?"
"Awe honey it's just ... sometimes things aren't that simple. But I want you to know that it has nothing to do with any of you kids. It's not any of your faults. OK ... not yours , Logan's , Kiley's or this new baby's. It's between me and your dad. Alright?"
"Yeah I'm sorry I yelled at Logan today ... he just ... I don't want anything to happen to you or the baby this time Mommy." Gracie said as she hugged Kate.
"It that what you're worried about? Something happening to me and the baby?"
Gracie shook her head yes.
"Gracie I am fine. The baby is fine. OK? Nothing is going to happen. I love you so much and you are such a sweet kid. I am so lucky to be your mom."
"I love you mom."
"I love you too."
Kate read to her before tucking her in and checking on the other two who were sleeping.
It was after 8 pm now so Kate got into bed and get comfortable which was becoming more difficult. When the phone range.
"Hello?"
"Hi Kitten."
"Hey Dean."
"Whats wrong?"
"Nothing just tired been a long day."
"Katie you really need to be taking care of your self."
"I know that Dean. I'm fine." She snapped.
"Kate? What the hell? I am just worried about you and the baby. Why are you so pissy?"
"I'm sorry I know that you care. It's just been a long day like I said and I'm pregnant not an excuse I know sorry."
"It's fine. Still have that appointment on Thursday?"
"Yeah? Are you coming to St. Louis?" Kate asked him as she began to move around to get comfortable.
"I want to. I am suppose to have a few days off but who knows."
"Yeah." Kate said.
"Mommy?" came a 4-year-old voice from the door way.
"What Bubba?"
"I can't sleep. Can I sleep with you? " He begged as he held tight to his stuffed Monkey and dragging his WWE fleece blanket.
"Logan Scott we've talked about this?"
"I know but I miss Daddy." He said.
"I miss my monkey man too." Kate heard in her ear forgetting that he was still on the phone.
"Dean I gotta go. Don't you have a match soon?" Kate asked at Logan jumped on the bed.
"Yeah ... my promo is first you gonna watch babe?"
"Yeah." Kate said in a tired voice.
"Wow you sounded so convincing. Don't be sad baby doll they can't keep me busy forever I will be home soon. I love you."
Kate didn't say in back she just disconnected the phone.
"I miss my daddy." Logan said again cuddling up to Kate. "I think my brother misses him too don't you brother." He said as he softly kissed her tummy.
Kate smiled "You're really excited about being a big brother aren't you?"
"Yes I am gonna be the best big brother ever."
"I Know you will be Bubba. I love you Logan Scott." Kate said as Logan grabbed her remote and turned it to Monday Night Raw just in time to see Roman in the ring.
"I love you mommy."
"Mom?" said Gracie standing in the door way of the bedroom.
"Yes Gracie?"
"I can't sleep can I watch Raw with you?"
Kate couldn't help but smile. "Come on up Princess. All we need now is your sister."
Gracie crawled into bed with them. She hugged her mom tightly.
"I love you mommy."
"I love you to Princess. I am just getting all kids of love today." Kate smiled.
Kate was cuddling in bed with the kids watching Monday Night Raw it was a diva's match. When Kate heard Kiley crying over the baby monitor. Kate laughed when she got up and went into her room to get her Kiley was standing up in her crib giving her mom the pick me up sign.
"You knew that your brother and sister were up and you just wanted to join in on the fun huh?" Kate laughed as he picked Kiley up and carried her to her room. When she entered the room she heard Dean's voice coming through the TV.
"Now I've been in this business a long time now and if it's one thing I know for sure is that nothing is a guarantee. You have to work for what you want and if something is standing in your way well then you need to remove it. You may think I am talking about a WWE World Title Shot and well that's one thing I want. But you see there's something or someone standing in my way of that. The new GM said Randy Orton is the number one contender ... why the hell would they do that? I don't know people around here don't tell me a damn thing but Randy ... you and I have been doing the same song and dance for years. Tonight it ends come out here and face me like a man. Winner take all ... the number one contendership and something else you and I both hold dear. So what do you say Viper ... the Legend Killer? Are you gonna come out here and face me?"
Randy's music Hit as he came down to the ring. Kate sat on the bed staring on the TV with her three kids sitting close to her.
"Momma? Why are my daddy's fighting?" Logan asked when he saw Dean and Randy start to battle one another in the ring.
"This can't be happening." Kate said so her self as she kissed Kiley and held her kids close. Staring at the screen watching Dean and Randy fight each other all over the ring.
