Chapter 11:
Upon their arrival at the hotel, Randy helped Stacy with her bags and brought them to his suite. He let her use the bathroom first as she took a bath and changed into a pair of short, black shorts and a white sweatshirt. Randy followed afterwards, taking a bath and dressing in a pair of blue jogging pants and a white, muscle shirt.
"You can take the bed. I'll sleep on the couch." Randy stated as Stacy obediently tucked herself in on the four-poster, king-sized bed while Randy made himself comfortable on the fairly large couch. Both fell asleep without uttering another word.
Two months later, Stacy, Lita and Trish walked around the mall, shopping for maternity clothes.
"So Stace...what's going on between you and Randy?"
"Going on between us? Nothing! Why?"
"Well...it's because you've been literally together for two months now but still...nothing's happening. I mean...you're going to have his kid in a matter of six months and still...nothing's happening between the two of you." Lita elucidated.
Stacy sighed. "I know...but just...let it be..."
"You guys aren't talking about it? He hasn't said anything to you? Propose to you or anything?" Trish asked.
"Trish...I don't wanna marry someone I don't love. And I'm sure that's what Randy's saying to himself, too. That's why he hasn't done anything." Stacy replied.
"What makes you think you don't love him?"
"What kind of a question is that?!" Stacy half-exclaimed, half-joked as Trish and Lita giggled.
"Seriously, Stace. Are you sure you have no feelings for him? Nothing at all?"
"I'm not so sure..." Stacy answered, not bothering to think about it. Not bothering to listen to what her heart had to say.
After a while, the three drove back to the hotel they stayed in at Oklahoma City. The three talked for a while in Lita and Trish's room before Stacy headed back to the suite she shared with Randy. Ever since they slept in the same room, Randy had begun renting suites with two beds in it so as to have them both feeling comfortable in their sleep. She knocked on the door as Randy opened it, wearing just a pair of black jogging pants.
"Oh hey..." he greeted as Stacy smiled.
"Hey..."
"Done shopping?"
"Yup."
"What did you buy this time?" he asked, getting the shopping bags from her and placing them down inside the closet.
"Just a few clothes for me...and for the baby."
"But Stace...we don't even know if the baby's a girl or a boy yet..."
"I know. That's why I bought unisex clothes." Stacy answered with a smile as Randy nodded and smiled back.
"Oh..."
"Have you had dinner?" Stacy asked.
"Nope. Not yet. I decided to wait for you." Randy answered as Stacy smiled.
"Thank you."
"Where do you want to eat?" Randy asked her, putting on an Evolution t- shirt.
"I'm craving for McDonald's." she replied with a grin as Randy snickered and nodded.
"Alright. Let's go..." he said, grabbing a baseball cap and his shades and walking towards the door with her at his side. Before riding the elevator, they bumped into Mick Foley.
"Hey!" Stacy greeted warmly with a huge grin on her face as she hugged him.
"Hey Stace! Where are you guys off to?" he queried, giving Randy a light glare and making sure Stacy didn't see it while Randy just smirked back.
"Dinner at McDonald's." Stacy replied.
"Alright. I'll see you later. Bye!" he called out as Stacy and Randy rode the elevator, walked to Randy's rental car and headed off to McDonald's.
Parking the car the moment they arrived, Randy opened the fast food branch's door for her as she entered and thanked him.
"Welcome to McDonald's! May I take your order?"
"Hi! I'll have one Big Mac meal, one order of 6-pc. Chicken nuggets and a hot fudge sundae." Stacy dictated as Randy whistled.
"Someone's hungry..." he teased as Stacy slightly giggled.
"What about you, sir?" the McDonald's employee queried after typing down Stacy's order.
"I'll have a...uhhh...a Cheeseburger meal and a sundae cone." He ordered as the employee took it down as well.
"Well...someone's definitely not being a pig tonight." Stacy joked back.
Randy smirked. "Shut up. I just ate a large bag of Doritos a while ago while waiting for you."
"And you're already full with that?"
"I'm not yet finished. I also called room service and ate a banana split."
"Well...that explains it." Stacy teased as Randy smirked, got their tray and headed for a table for two.
After eating and talking every once in a while, they headed back to the hotel.
"Randy...I was thinking..." Stacy started off once they were both in their sleeping attire.
"Yeah?"
"I don't know. I don't mean to be bold or anything...but what stage are we at in our relationship?" she asked, making him look up from what he was watching. He turned off the TV and faced her.
"I usually ask myself that question, too and to be frank...I don't know..." he replied with a sigh.
"Me either. I mean...I know we don't love each other..."
"What?"
"You heard me. We're not in love with each other so it makes the situation harder."
Randy sighed deeply. "You're right."
"So what can we do?" Stacy asked him. "I don't want to have to explain this all to our child when he's old enough to understand things."
"You know what, Stace? Come what may. Just don't think about it at this time."
Stacy, too, sighed. "Alright. Goodnight, Randy."
"Goodnight, Stace."
And with that, the lights went off and both fell into peaceful slumbers.
AWWW...WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THEM?
