Enjoy :]
Chapter 51: Falling To Pieces
Kelly and Randy had left the clinic and they were both sitting on a nearby park bench. Randy was staring at the clear blue sky and Kelly was resting her head on his shoulder. "Randy are you ok?" Kelly muttered as she gently caressed his hand. "I know you weren't expecting twins and I wasn't expecting twins either. So you know, we're in the same boat."
"I think I just need to sit here for a bit" Randy mumbled. Kelly smiled slightly and intertwined her hand with his. "I'm just thinking that one kid was going to be a handful. Having two kids is like..." Randy trailed off thinking intensely for a moment. "It's like having a posse. Are you ready for a posse?"
"Rands, I know it's kinda a lot to take in right now. Am I ready for a posse? Probably not but hey now we have two beautiful baby boys" Kelly sat upright and stared into Randy's icy blues. A smirk appeared on his handsome face. "What?" Kelly looked up at him with suspicion.
"Now you're going to have two mini me's running around" Randy's smirk turned into a grin.
"Great that's all I need" Kelly replied jokingly. "A bit more than we bargained for but I am so happy right now."
"So am I. I can't believe I'm going to be a father of two. Something I could have never seen coming" Randy admitted stretching his arms before wrapping a protective arm around Kelly. "I am the happiest man alive today. I have the best fiancee in the world and I'm a father, you can't get much happier than that" Randy grinned. The late afternoon sun was shining down onto Kelly's face. The sparkle returning to her eyes and her heart-melting smile had returned. "Glad to see that smile on your face again."
"I love you so much Rands" Kelly snuggled into his chest and he stroked her hair gently. "You're the best."
"I love you too" Randy answered giving her a peck on the cheek. There was a short silence.
"I'm so damn hungry" Kelly said randomly.
"Really? We ate at Zack's place" Randy answered flabbergasted.
"Yeah but I'm still hungry" Kelly countered. Randy stared at her in disbelief.
"You have to be kidding right?" Randy asked.
"Nope" Kelly smiled.
"I'm going to be broke before we even have the kids. And who's going to pay for our wedding?" Randy questioned a broad smile appearing on his face.
"Not funny" Kelly answered whacking him playfully on the arm.
"Where do you want to go Barbs?" As Kelly pondered on where she wanted to go eat her cellphone rang. She fiddled through her bag and pulled it out and stared at the caller ID for a moment.
"It's Maryse again" Kelly rolled her eyes in plain annoyance. "I told her to stop calling me."
"Give it here" Randy stated offering to take the call. "Hello" he chimed.
"Randy?" Maryse's tone was panicked.
"Yeah it's me, what's wrong?" Randy frowned. He knew something was up but he didn't know what.
"It's Ted" he could hear Maryse practically crying on the other end of the phone. "He's really sick, we're at the hospital now" Maryse cried.
"Is he going to be ok?" Randy asked concern plaguing his voice.
"I don't know, the doctors are running tests on him now. Michelle and Cody are on their way but I thought I should call you guys because you know..." Maryse blabbered in distress.
"We'll be there Ryse" Randy replied feeling sorry for his friend. "Just..." he started. "Just stay calm."
"O-ok" she stammered.
"See you."
"Ted's sick isn't he?" Kelly looked up at Randy with a serious look upon her face.
"I think he's bad. Maryse needs us there for support" Randy stated. Kelly bit down on her lower lip.
"Ok" Kelly answered.
"You're not thinking of not going are you?" Before Kelly could answer Randy cut her off. "We have to go Barbie. Ted is bad. Maryse is distraught. She needs us."
"Let's go" Kelly replied still unsure. Randy nodded and unlocked his car that was parked in the nearby car park. Intertwining his hand with Kelly's his walked to his car, opened the door on the passenger side. Randy then sat down in the drivers seat and started the engine in order to get to the hospital.
Kelly and Randy rushed into the hospital. They quickly found a secretary sitting at the desk and asked her for directions. "Uh...Hi I'm wondering which room Ted DiBiase Jr is in?" Randy replied shoving his hands in his jean pockets.
"If you don't mind me asking may I please have an autograph I'm a huge fan of you" the lady asked quickly. Kelly stared at Randy who was staring blankly at the secretary. He's friend could be dying and this lady was asking for his autograph. People these days. "Um...sure...do you have a pen and paper?" he asked rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh right. Here you go" she watched as Randy quickly autographed the plain piece of paper. "Thank you so much!" the lady exclaimed. "Ted's in room 89."
"Thanks..." he swiftly walked to the elevator. Looking over his shoulder to make sure no one was around he crept into the elevator in order to get to the the eighth floor. The doors closed behind and next thing he knew he was on level eight. Kelly was gripping onto Randy's muscular forearm. She was nervous, she didn't want to see everyone again. She certainly didn't want to see Ted a declining state. That was the last thing she needed. Briskly they walked out of the elevator looking on the door for the correct number. They eventually found Ted's room. They stepped through the doorway only to find Ted asleep with Maryse sitting by him, gripping his hand. "How is he?" Randy asked looking over is close friend.
"The doctors say he has a bleeding stomach ulcer. They say that his stress and depression caused it" Maryse cried. Randy pulled up a chair next to her.
"I'm sorry" Randy said giving her a big bear hug. Kelly was leaning on the door frame just staring at her ex-best friend. "Can I talk to Ted for a minute?"
"Yeah sure..." Maryse sniffled and joined Kelly who was waiting outside the room. There was an intense stare down between Kelly and Maryse before the two blondes opened their mouths to speak.
"I'm sorry" they said in unison. Kelly shrugged and then wrapped her arms around Maryse.
"Ted's going to be ok" Kelly said with her eyes stinging because tears were welling up in them.
"I can't lose him Barbs, I love him way too much, to lose him because of some stomach ulcer" Maryse cried. Kelly bit down on her bottom lip not knowing what to say.
"Maryse!" Michelle exclaimed running down the hallway. Cody trailed behind her. "We came as soon as could" she hugged her friend and then shot a glare at Kelly. "What is she doing here?" she snarled looking Kelly up and down.
"You know, I don't want any trouble, I'll just leave" Kelly bit down on her bottom lip. She felt as if she was going to explode with emotion.
"Barbs!" Maryse called after her. She wiped her tears away as she stared at Michelle. Cody stared through the window at Randy who was just talking about random things to Ted.
"How are you holding up?" Cody asked Maryse.
"How do you think?" Maryse answered. "I haven't stopped crying since I brought him here." Randy stood up and joined his friends outside.
"Hey man" Cody gave him a manly hug. "Did he say anything?" Cody asked hopeful.
"No he didn't" Randy's mesmerizing blue eyes had gone a dull grey. "Where did Barbie go anyway?"
"She left..." Maryse sniffled. "I'm going to go back to Ted" her voice wavered as she went and sat by Ted's bedside. Michelle was glaring at Randy who was completely saddened. Randy took a deep breath and was about to walk down the corridor to find Kelly.
"If Ted dies" Michelle choked out. "I will never forgive Barbs." Randy looked down at his arm which was in Michelle's tight grip. Randy gulped finally clearing the lump in his throat.
"This isn't her fault Chelle. She was standing up for what she believed in. You can't blame her for that. You can't blame her for her actions. She's been through a lot. She has a lot on her plate right now. We're having twin boys something we didn't expect. So just give her a break, please?" Randy defended Kelly. She probably felt bad about the situation as it was. She didn't need people blaming her and cursing at her. Michelle blinked away her tears as Cody wrapped his arms around her in a protective embrace. He kissed the side of her head.
"It's going to be ok babe" Cody whispered. Randy pulled his arm away from Michelle and stormed off down the corridor.
"Eve! Eve!" Kelly yelled. "I can't cope anymore!"
"Kelly?" Eve said from the other end.
"Ted's really sick and I just saw my friends and I-I" Kelly stuttered tears becoming evident in her eyes.
"Kelly slow down. Is everything ok with the baby?" Eve asked concern plaguing her voice.
"Babies..." Kelly corrected.
"You're having twins?" Eve exclaimed.
"Twin boys"
"Congrats Kel. Then why are you so hysterical?" Eve asked going back to the original topic.
"I'm just having a panic attack. Everything is just piling up and, I know I need help but I-I put Ted in the hospital" Kelly burst into tears. She wasn't even making sense.
"Woah, Kel, Ted isn't in hospital because of you. These things happen" Eve comforted her to the best of her ability.
"It's always my fault. This whole mess is my fault Eve" Kelly cried into the phone. "M-Mike should h-have killed me then no one would be suffering" Kelly sobbed hysterically. "If Ted dies I will never forgive myself."
"Oh god Kelly" Eve sounded upset. "If Mike killed you, how would everyone be feeling now? A lot of people care for you. You're friends love you, some more than others. They'll see that you were right the whole time sooner rather than later, I'm sure of it."
"But Eve, no one understands...not even Randy" Kelly cried as she wiped away some of her tears.
"Then maybe you should tell him" Eve suggested. "Only if you're comfortable" Eve added on.
"Eve" Kelly cried. "I-I'm falling apart. I try to act happy but on the inside, everything is tearing me apart" she continued to cry. Kelly had so much suppressed emotion, it had all built up and now it was all being let out.
"I'll meet you at the hospital" Eve said sensing that her friend needed someone that understood her by her side.
"Thanks Eve" Kelly cried. "You're a good friend" Kelly continued to cry.
"No problem Kel. See you soon and try to calm down, I'll be there as soon as possible" Eve sounded so concerned on the other end of the phone. Kelly wiped away her tears.
"Ok, see you..." she muttered before hanging up the phone. She saw Randy making his way towards her from further down the corridor. "Crap..." Kelly muttered again. She tried to make herself look as if she was fine because she didn't want Randy to worry about her. When Randy arrived he looked at Kelly up and down before he noticed her puffy red eyes.
"You've been crying" Randy said.
"No I got something in my eye. I think it was some sort of bug or something..." she blurted out an excuse.
"Barbie, we're in a hospital" Randy answered.
"And? There's bugs in hospitals" Kelly snapped making wild hand gestures at him.
"Barbie!" he exclaimed. "Can you stop lying to me? I know you haven't been fine recently. You know you can tell me anything."
"No I can't Rands!" Kelly was holding back her tears.
"Why the hell not?" Randy snapped.
"Because..." Kelly choked out. Randy spun around in aggravation and then continued to pinch the bridge of his nose. This day was in many ways the worst and best days of his life.
"Because?" Randy scoffed to himself. "Something is eating away at you Barbs. I want to help you but I can't because I do not know what's doing this to you" Randy stared at her. His icy blue eyes filled with concern.
"I'm sorry Rands but I can't" Kelly blinked away her tears. Randy grabbed her arm a little more roughly than he expected. This action took Kelly aback and she stared up at him for about a second.
"Please don't hurt me" Kelly croaked thinking that Randy was going to do something to her.
"What?" Randy said in confusion. He put two and two together. "Barbs I would never hurt you" he said loosening his grip and wrapping her up in his warm, protective embrace. She buried her tear-stained face into his well-toned chest.
"Is Ted going to be ok?" Kelly said holding back her tears.
"I don't know..." Randy retorted. That wasn't the answer Kelly wanted to hear. She wanted her life to return to what it was before the whole Mike issue. It was tearing her apart inside and out. Now she had to wait for Eve to get here. Eve was the only one she could relate to lately. She didn't know why but she just did.
"Guys..." Cody's voice brought Kelly out of her thoughts. "Ted's sort of awake, he wants to see you Barbie." Kelly and Randy exchanged looks.
