AN: Thank you guys for all the reviews. I'm really happy that you guys are enjoying it. I've got some plans for this story, but it's kinda hard because I've changed directions so many times I've lost track, but I think I'm settled into what path I wanna take, hopefully that means I can dish out two chapters a week.
I Disclaim
Trish could hear the faint whispers around her as Amy, Lisa and Stacy giggled about their surprise. Amy and Stacy had each held onto each of her arms, guiding her through the way since the blindfold which they placed over her eyes purposely obstructed her vision. Lisa was in charge of opening the doors and since she was really good at it, she was in charge of taunting Trish every time she attempted to get some information about what the hell was going on. The two women at her side would just giggle but Lisa, that Lisa…she would tease Trish mercilessly until Trish just decided to shut up. Apparently, that was what Lisa was going for. As she allowed Amy and Stacy to be her eyes, she thought back to how these women had begun her day by relentlessly pulling her out of her fiancée's arms while they lay in bed early this morning. Trish had begged them to give her a few minutes more cuddled up in his arms, but the women wouldn't budge. They literally pulled her out of bed, all the while Randy chuckled at the sight. They gave her 20 minutes to take a shower. Can you believe that? Twenty minutes. That wasn't even half as much time she usually took when she was in good physical shape, now with a baby attached to her front, she was a lot more slower at things. She'd thought that the women would have at least understood that but they stuck to their twenty minutes. By the time she got out of the shower, she was instructed to pull on one of her j-lo suits, which she didn't mind, she wasn't up for looking for an outfit at that moment. And with enough time to give Randy a kiss on the lips, they were off. First they took her to the salon where they all got their hair done and then they took her shopping, where they all picked out some nice cocktail outfits. Trish wasn't really in the mood for shopping since she was the biggest one there and she now found shopping to be a major pain. The other women didn't know what she complained about considering she was shopping for large, and extra large now rather than small. It wasn't like she had trouble finding clothes to fit her. Even pregnant, she could still shop in regular stores. By the time the women left the mall, they had immediately blindfolded her and here she was now.
"We're almost there T…" Stacy said softly.
"Almost where?" Trish asked slyly.
"Almost at y…." Stacy began but was interrupted by Amy.
"Stacy, shut up…"
"Oh, oops, my bad…you almost got me there Trish…"Stacy said with a smile.
Trish only huffed in response. This was really getting annoying. They really had some audacity trying to piss off a pregnant woman. Her mood swings didn't really give a need for an excuse, but these women were certainly giving her one.
"Okay, you ready babe…"Lisa said excitedly.
"I've been ready since forever…."Trish replied. Trish felt as Amy undid the back of the blindfold. She felt it being removed from her around her eyes and she slowly opened her eyes to adjust to the light.
"Surprise!" a loud chorus of voices were heard. Trish was speechless. They planned a baby shower for her. She took a moment to look around at all the decorations. She even noticed there was a tree that signified a family tree, and all the guests wrote little notes to her and hung their cards on the tree like leaves. She felt the waterworks coming on and instantly felt stupid for getting so emotional. It was a nice gesture, but nobody needed to see her with running mascara and ruined make up. She turned to her three friends.
"You guys are the best….I'm sorry for giving you such a hard time about this….if I knew…." Trish began.
"We know T….that was kinda the fun of it all" Amy giggled. She hugged all three divas individually before they all went in for a group hug. After she pulled away, she decided to meet with all her guests. So many people had turned up. For one, her mother and sisters were there, who she greeted first. They chatted for a bit before she moved on to the other guests. She hugged Torrie, Dawn, Jackie, Nidia, Charlene, Terri and Rena Mero warmly before sitting down and catching up with them. She hadn't seen the women in forever since they were on SmackDown, with the exception of Nidia and Charlene who she hadn't seen for a long time due to being away on maternity leave, and Terri, who had left the business early that year. The next woman that caught her eye, she heard herself gasp. They were good friends and they loved working with each other but her job behind the scenes really cut into the amount of time she spent with the wrestlers and divas and Trish had certainly missed her. Stephanie McMahon quickly approached the blonde, her arms already outstretched.
"Hey ….look at you… damn you Stratus, even pregnant you look incredibly sexy" Stephanie commented with a laugh. Trish could see the tears building in Steph's eyes and she felt the tears welling up in her own as well. Steph quickly wiped at her eyes as did Trish.
"Sorry….crying has become like second nature to me. The damn hormones I tell ya…just ask Randy, he's gotta put up with it all the time…" Trish giggled. Steph's smile only widened upon hearing the mention of the young Legend Killer's name.
"Speaking of Randy, have you guys set a date yet?" Stephanie asked.
"Well, actually we talked about it and we decided to get the court papers done soon but have a church wedding after the baby is born. I wanna get married in a wedding dress, not a white maternity gown…" Trish smiled. She continued,
"We plan on keeping both our houses where we can spend vacation back and forth without worrying about setting up fort every time, so that way the baby can be around both families and grow up in both cities….I made a deal with Randy that I would register our marriage in St.Louis if he lets me have the baby back home in Toronto…." Stephanie nodded in understanding. Anyone who knew the blonde beauty knew how proud she was of her Canadian roots and that was one of the reasons her hometown country loved her so much. She represented them around the world and she did one hell of a job at it too.
"So what did he say to that?"
"Well he agreed…said that it was only fair since I had to suffer through the back aches and sore feet because of my big belly, not to mention the pain to come in the labour room" Trish giggled.
"He's a smart man Stratus….but seriously, I'm really happy for the two of you. I'm sure you're gonna make each other really happy….I know you guys will be" Steph pep talked. Trish only smiled and nodded before leaning in and giving the gorgeous brunette another hug before heading off and meeting some other friends. She met a few of her friends from high school and was elated that Amy had remembered to invite them. Seeing the guests who had arrived, only Amy would know to invite all of these people. Knowing Trish the longest, she had already met all of her friends and family members. She even got to meet her long time friend and former fitness model partners, Vicky Pratt and Stacy Lyn , who were now in one corner goofing off with Torrie and Lisa who had also known the two from their former fitness days. Trish sighed in content. She would have to think of a really good way to thank Amy, Stacy and Lisa for all they did today. It was truly beyond her expectations and she couldn't ask for better friends.

It had been a long night and Trish was extremely exhausted. Her feet were aching and her back was killing. All the girls had insisted that she sit down and take rests in between but being Trish, she insisted that she wanted to go around and meet everyone. She had spent hours on her feet just indulging in conversations with all the women. She sighed as she put the key into the lock and turned. Home sweet home. Speaking of, she completely forgot to ask the girls how they manage to get into Randy's home, unless he had something to with it. She entered to notice that there were a few lights on. She looked around to see if she'd spot Randy but to no avail, she called out.
"Hello, Randy you here?" she stopped to hear for any answer. When she got none, she continued on further into the room. She was startled by the ring of the telephone.
"Hello…." she answered.
"Hey T…." the voice of Amy floated through from the other end.
"Listen, I just got a call from Matt and apparently him and the guys had plans for Randy today as well, kinda like a bachelor party. Anyway, he just called to let me know where he was and that they would be returning Randy soon. He said Randy had been trying to call your cell but he kept getting your answering machine so he just left a message."
"Oh, okay thanks Amy, I really appreciate it. I was kinda worried when I didn't see anyone home and the lights were on" Trish admitted.
"Probably in their haste, Randy didn't get time to switch it off".
"Yeah, you're probably right….well I'm gonna go now, I seriously need to get out of these heels and dress and throw on something more comfortable" Trish responded into the receiver.
"I completely understand, we told you to sit down, but no, you didn't wanna listen" Amy giggled.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I'm stubborn, but unfortunately I never seem to learn. Always, I'll talk to ya later Ames and thanks again for the heads up…good night".
"No problem T, sleep tight" and with that both women hung up. After changing, she decided to check her voice messages on her cell. Sure enough, there was a message from Randy, as well as Amy, Lisa, Stacy and Her mom and sisters who all called to assure her that they had reached home safely. He ears perked up as she heard the front door shut.
"Trish, you here?" she could hear Randy's deep voice echo in the quite hotel room. She walked out to meet him and as soon as she saw her, a big smile spread across his face as he planted a very passionate hello kiss on her awaiting lips. When they pulled away, they both moved the couch where he instinctively pulled both her legs onto his lap and messaged her feet.
"So how was your day?" he asked as she rolled her head back in pleasure. He always knew exactly what she needed.
"Amazing, the girls really outdid themselves. I need to think of something really good to show them how much I appreciate it. By the way, Amy's got all the baby stuff that I got from the shower. Since she's coming down to Toronto with me while you're away in Europe for the RAW tour, she's just gonna bring the stuff, that way, I don't have to carry as much".
"Hmmm, that's nice" he answered tiredly, which only peaked Trish's interest.
"So….how was your day?" she asked.
"It was good, the guys wanted to do I guess a bachelor party for me" he answer nonchalantly.
"Oh, who was there?" Trish asked.
"Oh all the guys: John, Paul, Dave, Ric, Matt, Jeff, Chris 1 and 2, Adam, Jay, Terry, and more but it's taking too much brain cells for me to remember" he chuckled. She smiled before easing in the question she really wanted to know.
"So, were there any strippers?" she asked innocently.
Randy's head whipped around to face her, a smirk evident on his face.
"Why, would you be jealous?" he asked teasingly. She only stuck her tongue out at him but didn't answer his question.
"No, there was no stripper and you can even as Chris and Adam, you know they wouldn't lie to you, especially for the man who's supposedly stealing you away…" he laughed. "I gotta tell ya Hun, a lot of people love ya, of course, I don't blame them, but it's a lot of competition you know?" he said. She only giggled before taking the sofa pillow and throwing it at him. His eyes lit up before she decided to ease his own curious question in.
"So what kind of stuff did you get?" he asked.
"Oh the usual, I got some robes and stuff for myself, but I got picture frames to put the baby's pictures inside, there were clothes, stuffed toys, musical mobiles and Amy actually bought a playpen for the baby so I could set up outside while I'm working in the kitchen or watching TV or whatever."
"Were they nice clothes?" he asked. Trish smiled to herself. She knew where he was getting at.
"Uh huh" she answered vaguely.
"Oh….so uh, what kinda colours did they buy?" he asked innocently.
"Don't even try it" she said. "You said you didn't want to know the sex of our child so I'm not going to tell you"
"Well…what if I change my mind?" he asked defensively. He really wanted to be surprised, but he just couldn't wait any longer. There was less than a month left before she was due, but he still felt impatient. A month was too long.
"Okay fine, I have a surprise for you". She got up and pulled him by the hand. She held his hand and led through the house until they came upon the door to the nursery. She turned around.
"Okay, close your eyes" he did as he was instructed. She quietly opened the door and led him in. When she had him positioned just right, she got on her tippy toes and whispered in his ear.
"Okay, open…"
Randy opened his eyes and to his surprise, entire nursery was completely decorated. She had it painted, with borders, all the furniture was already in place. She even had the first sonogram picture hung on the wall along with a picture of herself and Randy holding the sonogram up at the doctor's office. The room looked like a nursery straight out of an expensive catalogue but what left him even more in awe was the particular details of the room. Specifically the pastel colours of pink, yellow and green. He looked over to the rocker where hung a quilted blanket, which he was sure his mother had knitted, that had 'Baby Girl' embroidered on. He turned to her with tears in his eyes.
"We're having a girl?" he asked emotionally. She only nodded her head and bit her bottom lip in anticipation of his reaction. A big smile spread across his face as he bent down and picked the little blonde up in the air and held her tight. And that's how they stayed for several moments. Happy, in love and not a care in the world. For the time being everything was perfect, but as all know, life always has it's own plans and Randy and Trish were about to find out exactly what they were.
