Chapter 16

Conversations and Tears

I had been at Shawn and Rebecca's for a few days, when I decided to call Randy. Of course, Shawn's words to me at breakfast were pretty convincing. "Jenna. If Randy is as decent of a guy like I see, then he'll be able to deal with this. You think this baby will be a burden to him, but I know he loves you and he wants to be with you no matter what." Shawn told me, before taking Cameron upstairs for a bath. Which leads me here, staring at the phone, trying to work up the courage to call Randy. 'Here goes nothing.' I thought, as I finished dialing the number. The phone rang a couple of times, before someone answered.

"Hello." Randy's groggy voice said. I was quiet for a minute, before I could say anything. "Is anyone there?" Randy asked, and I could tell he was getting a little irritated.

"Randy." I said, somehow my voice went to a whisper.

"Jenna?" Randy questioned, sitting up in his bed.

"Yeah, it's me." I replied, tears already clouding my eyes at the sound of his voice.

"Sweetie, where are you?" Randy asked.

"It's a long story. I just wanted to let you know that I'm okay, and I have something I need to tell you." I said, mumbling the last part. I knew Riley knew I was here, because Rebecca told me when Shawn and I got back that first day.

"Jenna, I know about the baby." Randy admitted. 'How in the hell does he know? The only person I told...' I thought, as Randy's voice interrupted me. "Angie, from the doctor's office called and left a message for you. You left and forgot your prenatal vitamins." Randy said, not mentioning that Riley later told him.

"Oh." I replied, unable to say much else.

"When are you coming home Jenna?" Randy asked.

"I'll be home in a couple of days." I replied, knowing he didn't like that answer to well.

"Why don't you tell me where you're at?" Randy questioned, and for once I had no idea what to say. Finally, I just decided to tell him everything.

"I came back home Randy." I started.

"So you're in Louisville?" Randy asked, as I shook my head.

"No. Home for me is San Antonio, Texas. I'm staying at my aunt and uncles house." I said, knowing it would be difficult to explain why I've kept this 'secret' for so long.

"I thought you didn't have any living family left?" Randy questioned. 'Yep, this is going to be fun.' I thought, as I started explaining.

"I don't have any family left. My 'uncle' was my dad's best friend since they were little kids. My uncle is Shawn Michaels" I said, knowing I just sent Randy into shock.

After explaining to Randy about my 'relationship' with Shawn and his family, he asked about the baby.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Randy asked, even though he already had an idea.

"Randy, this baby isn't yours, why should it be a burden to you?" I asked, tears starting to build again.

"Why do you think it would be a burden on me? I love you Jenna, I thought you knew that." Randy said, his voice giving away that he was crying.

"Randy, I know you love me. I can't ask you to be willing to raise this baby as yours." I said, knowing now what I needed to do.

"Jenn, you're not asking me to do anything. I want to raise this baby with you, and to be a family with you." Randy answered, as my tears finally fell.

"Randy, I think when I come back to St. Louis, I should find a new place to live. I don't think we should be together anymore." I said, before adding. "It's for the best Randy. I love you, and always will, but I won't do that do you." I finished, before hanging up.

I had just told the man I love, that I can't be with him anymore. I know what I did was right, but part of me hates myself for doing that. Cameron came into my room a few minutes later. "Jenni, you k?" He asked, looking up at me.

"Yeah buddy, I'm okay. Did you want to play something?" I asked, as Rebecca walked in.

"Cameron Cade. I thought I told you to put your toys away?" Rebecca asked, sternly.

"I heard Jenni cry Mommy. Make her feel better." Cameron said sweetly, as he walked down to his room.

"Sweetie, what's the matter?" Rebecca asked gently. I knew there was no way I could lie to her, she's just like Shawn. They both can tell when I'm lying.

"I just broke up with Randy." I said, not hiding my tears.

"Why would you do that?" Rebecca asked, wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

"Cause it's for the best. Now he doesn't have to be tied down by me and a child that's not even his." I replied, knowing that answer was getting weak.

"Jenna, if you really felt like that, then you wouldn't be such a mess right now. You still want Randy in your life, today and forever. Your caring side is what you're listening to right now, you need to listen to your heart. I guarantee if you listen to your heart, it'll give you the answer you want." Rebecca said, before leaving my room.

Randy had walked out to the living room, and found Riley and Dave watching TV. "Hey, who was on the phone earlier?" Riley asked, as Randy sat across from them.

"Jenna." Randy said, flatly.

"Where is she? Is she okay?" Dave asked, turning the TV off.

"She's in San Antonio, with her Uncle Shawn Michaels." Randy said, as Dave's eyes went huge.

"Excuse me. Are you talking about..." Dave started, but Randy stopped him.

"Yeah, but you can ask your girlfriend for all the details. Want to know something funny? Not only does she think that she and the baby would be a burden or a trap to me, but she actually broke up with me." Randy said, trying not to cry again.

"Why in the hell would she do something like that?" Riley asked, amazed I would do something so stupid.

"For what I just told you. She thinks this baby would be a huge burden or responsibility that I shouldn't have to take. Riley, how do you get to Shawn's place?" Randy asked, as he got ready to call the airlines.

"I don't know really, I've only been there a couple of times. I can give you his address, it's in a gated community, so you push his address into the buzzer, and either he or Rebecca should let you in." Riley said, writing down Shawn's address.

"Thanks Riley. I'm going to bring her home with me, and we will raise this baby together." Randy said, going into his room to pack a bag.

I had taken a nap after my conversation with Rebecca, and when I woke up I had these terrible cramps. I figured they would go away if I could take something. When I got to the door, I collapsed in pain, Cameron walked out of his room, and saw me on the floor.

"Jenni. Are you sick to your tummy?" He asked, noticing I was holding onto my stomach.

"Yeah sweetie. Can you go get your daddy for me?" I asked, trying not to scream out in pain, since I was with Cameron.

"Otay, I be back." Cam said, running downstairs. "Daddy! Daddy!" Cameron yelled, running into the kitchen.

"What is it buddy?" Shawn asked, thinking that he wanted to play something.

"Jenni is sick. She holdin her tummy, and she look like she want to cry." Cameron said, as both Shawn and Rebecca looked at each other.

"Beck, keep Cameron down here with you. I'm going to go check on her." Shawn said, running out of the kitchen. "Sweet pea. Where does it hurt?" Shawn asked, when he got to my side.

"All across my stomach. It feels like someone is stabbing me with a knife." I cried, as Shawn yelled downstairs for Rebecca to call 911. "Uncle Shawn, call Randy for me. I want him down here with me. I made a terrible mistake, I don't want to lose him." I said, tears flowing down my cheeks.

"I'll call him sweetheart. I promise, I'll get him here." Shawn said, holding me while we waited for the ambulance to show up.

A/N: This ended up a little shorter than I would have liked, but I'm getting it posted today. All that's left is to click the review button. They're so nice to read when I get home from work, and have had a bad night.
