Chapter 16:

Two months finally got a move on and Stacy was due anytime soon. Her bag was already packed with its necessities in case she needed to be rushed to the hospital any hour of any day of anytime of the month. One evening, while Stacy was at her hotel room watching TV, she felt nature calling her as she stood up and headed for the bathroom. Upon stepping foot on the tiled floor, she didn't notice that it was slightly wet therefore; she slipped and fell on her butt.

"Aaaaaahhhhh!!!!" Stacy screamed as pain enveloped her whole body, most especially her stomach. Blood starting dripping down from in between her thighs as she screamed, cried and yelled in pain. Unfortunately, neither Lita nor Trish was with her in the room and she was left all alone. Lita headed for McDonald's to buy their dinner while Trish was at Nidia and Victoria's room. Stacy cried harder and felt herself closing in on the world. Suddenly, she heard the door open and in came Trish.

"Oh my gosh!!! Stacy!!!" she screamed, kneeling down beside her friend and placing Stacy's head on her thigh. Seeing the blood dripping, Trish panicked, ran towards the intercom and dialed for Randy's room number. "Randy! Come quick! It's Stacy! Something terrible happened!" Trish cried over the phone as Randy quickly got up.

"Alright! I'll be right over!" he told her as once again, he pushed Jackie off of him. "Jackie...baby, I'm so sorry. I know tonight was the first time we were supposed to do it but something bad just happened to Stacy and I need to go there right away. We'll continue this some other time." He told her as he wore a white shirt and a pair of worn-out jeans over his boxers. Running out, Jackie pouted and fell back on the bed with just her two garments of underwear on.

...

Randy arrived at Trish, Lita and Stacy's hotel room as he barged in and found Stacy on the bathroom floor with Trish by her side, panicking. "Sh!t." Randy muttered, running over to where they were and scooped Stacy in his arms.

"Trish! Hurry! Where's her bag?!"

"Here!" Trish exclaimed, carrying the purple duffel bag and opening the door for Randy. At that same time, Lita was about to enter and found the crisis her friends were in.

"Holy sh!t..." she uttered as she dropped the McDonald's plastic bags then and there and helped out Randy and Trish. Running towards Randy's rental car, he drove off as fast as he could without getting caught by the police. Ten minutes later, they arrived at the nearest hospital in Portland and rushed Stacy inside. She was immediately brought to the emergency room where doctors tended to her.

...

"Well?" Randy asked the doctor once she headed out.

"Your wife is fine, Mr. Orton. She just had a minor bleeding. Nothing critical. She's in the labor room now where she will be staying until she is ready to give birth." The doctor explained as Randy nodded his head fervently, not realizing that the doctor had called Stacy his wife. Lita and Trish meanwhile, sighed in relief the moment they found out their friend was all right. "Hey Lita..." Randy called out as Lita looked at him.

"What?" she asked, raising an eyebrow yet keeping a civil atmosphere.

"I know we're not the closest friends and all and I know you still have a grudge for me...but could you and Trish please head back to the hotel, talk to Batista and tell him to pack my clothes for me? I'd like to stay here with Stacy until she leaves the hospital." He told them as the two nodded.

"Alright, then." Lita agreed as Randy gave her his car keys and together, the two women ran off and drove back to the hotel.

...

Meanwhile, Randy was led to the labor room by one of the nurses as he found Stacy lying in one of the beds with a pained look on her face. He rushed towards her and held her hand, sitting down on the chair right beside her bed.

"Stacy...how're you feeling?" he asked her as Stacy smiled at him.

"I'm fine, thank you. The contractions just hurt a lot." She told him as he smiled in relief.

"Well...the doctor said you just had a minor bleeding and that you'll be staying here until you're ready to go to the deliver room."

"Yeah...she told me that, too." Stacy replied, her voice soft and slow.

"Do you want me to be with you there?" he asked her.

"Of course..."

He smiled. "Alright."

Suddenly, she yelped a little as she gripped Randy's hand tight. "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" she kept on saying while breathing deeply, in and out. Randy just held on to her hand and kissed her forehead, not letting go.

"Ssshhh...it's okay. It's okay." He comforted, squeezing back her hand to assure her that he was just right there.

...

A few hours later, Randy fell asleep in a sitting position, his head laying down on Stacy's bed and his hand never leaving hers. After a while, he felt her hand tighten around his as he woke up and found her in another excruciating contraction. At that same time, a doctor entered and checked on Stacy's condition.

"Well...10 centimeters. You're ready." She told her as Stacy looked up and paled.

"I am?" she asked.

"Yup. Five hours of labor. Not bad." The doctor told her.

"What time is it?" Stacy asked as the doctor checked her wristwatch.

"It's 1:10. Time to get you to the delivery room." The doctor said as Stacy was brought to the said room with Randy following close behind.

At the delivery room, all the excruciating pain started once again as Stacy was told to push. "Come on! Push!" the doctor instructed as Stacy pushed hard while holding on tight to Randy's hand.

"Come on, babe! You can do this! Just push!" Randy told her, kissing the sweat off of her head.

"Ouch!!!" Stacy cried harder as Randy cooed and soothed her.

"Ssshhh...just a few more pushes, hon." He told her, kissing her hand several times.

"Oh my gosh..." the doctor gasped as Randy's eyes filled with horror.

"What?!?" he asked, panicking.

"What is it?!?" Stacy, too, panicked.

"Oh...it's nothing. The baby's breech...meaning the buttocks will come out first. That also means you're going to have to push twice as hard as before." The doctor explained as Stacy nodded while crying.

"Okay." She said while pushing.

"You're almost there, hon! You're almost there." Randy told her as Stacy pushed one final time before she heard the small cries of a tiny infant.

"It's a boy." The doctor declared as Stacy cried tears of joy, especially when the baby was wrapped in a blue cloth and was placed in her arms.

"He's so tiny..." she whispered, playing with the baby's miniscule fingers.

"Can I have the baby's name?" the doctor asked, writing down information about Randy and Stacy's baby boy.

Stacy looked up at Randy, asking him what to name their son.

"It's all up to you, Stace. You pick. I'll be fine with any." He told her as she grinned and turned to the doctor.

"His name's Alex." She dictated proudly as the doctor nodded and wrote it down.

"Alright. Alex Orton...welcome to the world."
