Chapter 15
More Questions Less Answers
"Uncle Shawn. Aunt Becky." I said, as I got out of my car.
"Sweetie, what are you doing down here?" Shawn asked, as he and Rebecca both gave me a hug.
"Well, I realized I haven't seen you guys and Cameron in forever so, here I am." I answered, hoping they would both let it end there.
"Cameron stayed the night at Mom and the Colonel's house, but I was getting ready to go and pick him up. If you want to ride over there with me?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah, can I just freshen up a bit?" I asked, as Shawn grabbed my bags from the car.
"Sure sweetie. I'll show you where the guest room is." Rebecca said, as we headed into the house.
I guess I should explain how Shawn Michaels is my uncle. He's not my blood uncle, but he and my dad had been best friends ever since Shawns dad got transferred to Randolph Air Force Base, here in San Antonio. Shawn was even my dads best man, when he and my mom got married. He's been there for me through everything, up until recently. I didn't want alot of people to know that my "uncle" was Shawn Michaels, especially after what I saw Randy get put through down in OVW. I wasn't sure how people would react to me, so only a few people know, like Paul and Stephanie. Shawn and Rebecca were both so great to Travis and I when our parents died four years ago. I had just turned 18, and Travis was almost 16, when they were killed by a drunk driver. Shawn and Rebecca had just had Cameron in January, and my parents were killed in July. Shawn and Rebecca talked about it, and they came to the decision to let Travis and I move in with them, but I had already been accepted to college, so Travis moved in with them, while I moved to Lexington, Kentucky to become a Wildcat. I just wish I wasn't stupid, and not tell Shawn what had happened. I remember talking to him a few days after I had gone back out on the road, and he told me that Paul had told him what had happened. He just held me as I cried, telling me that everything was going to be okay. 'I wish I could believe that now.' I thought, as Rebecca finished setting up the guest room for me. This trip down here, is a homecoming of sorts for me, and I get to be with the only family I have left.
Randy, Dave, and Riley had been driving around, hoping Jenna had gone to a hotel, but after driving all night and day, they came up with nothing. When they got back to the apartment, Dave and Riley said they were going to bed, and Randy went to check the messages before going to bed as well.
"Hello Jenna. This is Angie from Dr. Mitchell's office. I'm calling to let you know that you forgot to pick up your prenatal vitamins yesterday before you left. If you can stop by today, I'll leave them at the front desk for you." Angie said, as Randy stood, frozen by the phone.
"Hey man. Did she call?" Dave said, coming back into the living room.
"She's pregnant." Randy said, before collapsing on the couch.
"Holy shit." Dave said, as shock and anger filled both men.
"This is why she won't talk to me. That son of a bitch is still fucking up her life." Randy growled, reaching over to grab the phone.
"Are you trying to call her again?" Dave asked.
"No, I'm calling the doctor's office. I want to know if she and the baby will be okay without the vitamins, until we find her." Randy said, as someone answered the phone.
"Good morning. Dr. Mitchell's office." Angie said.
"Hi Angie, this is Randy Orton. I'm calling because of the message you left on my machine earlier. Jenna had to go out of town for awhile, and I was wondering if she and the baby would be okay without those prenatal vitamin things?" Randy asked, as Dave just shook his head.
"I'd imagine she would, as long as she picks them up soon. She really needs to start taking them." Angie explained, as Randy tried to come up with something.
"Alright, thanks Angie. I'll be sure to let her know when I talk to her." Randy said, before hanging up.
"You don't think she'll do something crazy, like have an abortion do you?" Dave asked.
"I don't know. I mean, I know she's against abortions, but who knows what frame of mind she's in right now." Randy replied, as both men hoped Jenna wouldn't do something she'd regret.
Shawn and I were about 10 minutes from his parents house, when he looked over at me. "What's the matter sweetie? I know there's more to this visit, than you wanting to see Becca and Cameron." Shawn said, waiting for me to tell him why I was really there.
"Alright, but promise me that you and Rebecca won't call Steph or Paul and tell them I'm here." I said, knowing it would get to Randy.
"Fine, I promise. Why are you really here?" Shawn asked again, as he pulled into a park, about a mile away from his parents.
"Okay, well I'm sure Paul has told you I've been sick for a couple of weeks now, right?" I asked, when he nodded, I continued. "Well, Monday morning I went to the doctor, and he did some blood work and it turns out I'm pregnant." I said, not looking to see his reaction.
"Did Randy say he didn't want it?" Shawn asked, getting slightly pissed off.
"I haven't told him yet." I answered.
"Don't you think he should know he's going to be a father?" Shawn asked me.
"Uncle Shawn, this baby isn't Randy's. It's Kevin's." I said, as images from that night filled my mind, as I started crying again.
"Oh, sweet pea. I'm so sorry." Shawn said, pulling me over to him.
"Why Uncle Shawn? Why?" I cried, the tears not stopping.
"I don't know honey." Shawn replied, trying to calm me down.
"It's not fair. I finally thought my life was going okay for the first time since my parents died. Then when I lost Travis too, it just seemed like the world was out to get me. The one thing, the one person I was sure of was Randy. Now I'm not even sure about that anymore." I said, pulling away from the hug.
"Jenna, I know that what Kevin did to you, was the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone. You need to realize though, that this baby will have a part of you in him as well. I know you probably don't want to hear this right now, but don't underestimate Randy. I know that you think he won't want to be with you, but I've seen the way he looks at you, you should really tell him before he finds out some other way." Shawn said, as he pulled the car back on the road.
"Has John talked to Jenna again?" Dave asked, as Randy hung up from John.
"No, not since he talked to her earlier." Randy answered, as Riley walked into the living room.
"Riley, did you know that Jenna is pregnant?" Randy asked, before Riley could even sit down.
"Where did you hear that from?" Riley questioned back, knowing I hadn't called to tell him.
"Dr. Mitchell's office called, she forgot to get her vitamins." Randy said.
"Yeah, she told me. She said she was going to tell you eventually, she just wanted to figure out what to do." Riley explained.
"You've known her forever, do you think she'd have an abortion?" Dave asked, hoping for Randy's sake, Riley said no.
"Dave, she was raped. It's hard telling what's going through her mind right now. When I was talking to her the other night, it was like she wasn't even there." Riley answered.
"Do you know of anyplace she may have gone, that we haven't tried? I mean, I don't think she has any other family that she's close with." Randy asked, hoping he could get to his girlfriend, before something stupid happened.
"There's only one place I can think of that she would go." Riley said, getting up to find her phone book.
"Well, where is it?" Randy asked, as he and Dave followed Riley into her room.
"Her dad's best friend, since they were kids, has always been like an uncle to her. In fact, he and his wife let Travis live with them after Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were killed." Riley answered, as she started dialing a phone number.
"So, who are they? Were they at Travis' funeral?" Randy asked.
"Guys, I need to make this call in private. If I find out she's there, I'll try and explain as much as I can to you." Riley said, as she practically shoved Randy and Dave out of the room, right as Rebecca answered the phone.
Shawn and I had just pulled up in his parents driveway, and saw Cameron playing with a basketball, as the Colonel and Carol watched him.
"Daddy!" Cameron yelled, as we got out of the car.
"Hey buddy. Look who came down to visit." Shawn said, as Cameron turned around to see me.
"Jenni!" Cam squealed, as he wiggled to get down from Shawn's arms.
"Hi munchkin. You've gotten so big on me." I said, picking him up and giving him a hug.
"I four now." Cameron said, holding up four fingers to show me.
"I know buddy. You have got to stop getting so big." I said, as we walked up to the porch.
"Hi Jenna." Carol said, giving me a hug.
"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Michaels." I replied, as Carol looked at me.
"Jenna, I've told you, you can call us Carol and Richard." She said, as Richard stood up and hugged me.
"I know, but old habits die hard." I answered.
"Sweetie, we were so sorry to hear about Travis. Did they catch the person who did it?" Richard asked, as I looked up at Shawn, and he had a look on his face that told me they didn't know.
"Yeah, he's in prison now." I replied. We talked to the Colonel and Carol for a few more minutes, before we left.
Randy had gone to his room, and was laying on his bed, when a song from 3 Doors Down started playing.
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder and I don't think
I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
They disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby, but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby, and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby, but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, there's only you and me
Shawn and I were headed back to the house when, Here Without You started on the radio.
The miles just keep rolling, as the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated, but I hope that it gets better as we go
I'm here without you baby, but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby, and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby, but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me
Randy had been listening to the words of the song, and every word to the chorus said how he was feeling right now. Jenna was still in his dreams and she was the only thing on his mind. "God, please just let her be okay. Even if she won't talk to me, don't let her do anything stupid." Randy prayed, before the silent tears started falling, as he tried to sleep.
Everything I know and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
I'm here without you baby, but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby, and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby, but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me
While I listened to the song, I kept thinking about Randy. I know I should tell him about this baby but, I don't want him to be stuck with a child that doesn't even belong to him. I leaned my head against the window and closed my eyes, and all I could see was Randy's smiling face and the happier times we have shared. 'What have I done?' I asked myself, as tears slowly fell down my cheeks.
A/N: I'm actually getting another chapter up in the same week. I'm hoping to start chapter 16 tonight or tomorrow. So it should be up at the beginning of next week at the latest. Thanks for the reviews to 15. I hope I didn't make too many of you mad coughraecough with the cliffhanger in the last chapter. Just click the little review button, that's all that's left.
