AN: Thanks again for all of the reviews, I really appreciate it. Hope you guys enjoy and just a warning, this chapter is pretty long so you might wanna grab a snack and something to chug it down with while you're at it. LOL.

I Disclaim

A week later, and Randy was carrying his bride over the threshold of his …their home. Thankfully, with Vince's blessing, Randy was given the week off for the occasion. Trish giggled as he easily carried her and gently placed her on the couch. They had just come back from the courthouse where Amy and Matt had gone as witnesses along with them. They were finally husband and wife…well at least they were in the eyes of the law, however, they were still arranging the church wedding and reception. With only two weeks left until the baby was due, the couple had a lot of preparations to make. Randy gently kissed his bride on the nose before meeting her lips in a very sweet and loving kiss. When they finally pulled apart, their eyes met and the excitement that danced around in their eyes couldn't be mistaken. It was hard on both of them not to be with one another sexually, but Trish's condition made it extremely hard and they weren't even sure if it even safe to be doing it, so both of them were confined to the passionate kisses and caresses which was enough for them for the time being. However, Randy could think of a million and one things that he was going to do with her in the bedroom when she was good and ready. God, how he had missed her and the feeling was mutual.

The couple decided to celebrate by ordering in dinner and watching a movie. Though they were both ecstatic to be married, the truth was, that both of them had agreed that they would only be truly married when they made their promises to one another before God in a church with all their friends and family so they hadn't bothered to tell anyone about the court wedding except Amy and Matt who were there as witnesses. Trish was comfortably settled in Randy's arms watching "Pretty Woman", much to Randy's protest of having to sit through a 'chick flick'. An hour into the movie, Randy requested a bathroom break so Trish decided to paused the movie move into the kitchen to refresh the snack tray. A knock was heard at their door and Trish pondered who it could possibly be. His parents were on vacation, and Amy and Matt caught a flight back to North Carolina so that they could spend the rest of their 2 days off at home. Trish quickly wiped her hands and hustled to the door. She opened the door and she was surprised to say the least at the visitor on the other side.

"Hey Trish…."

"Nora….Hi, what a pleasant surprise! Come in". Trish ushered her in and closed the door.

"Actually I came with Dave….he's in the car right now…we didn't want to intrude or anything so I just thou…." Nora was cut off by Trish.

"Don't worry about, we were just watching a movie, go tell Dave to turn the engine off and come in, I'll get some drinks and stuff ready for you guys." Nora was a bit sceptical, she really didn't want to intrude on her and Randy's time but the smile on Trish's face told her that she really wanted her to stay. Nora complied while Trish got some beverages and food together. Randy had walked into the kitchen to see Dave helping Trish grab something from the one of the top shelves and Nora fixing a tray of snacks.

"Hey guys, what's going on?" Randy asked confused. His wife turned to face him and smiled.

"Took you long enough, I know you just wanted to get out of watching the movie". Randy tried to act innocent but she had him dead on.

Once everything was ready, the four adults moved their way into the den, where Randy lit the fireplace, since it was still a bit chilly outside. Trish and Randy took one couch while Nora and Dave shared another.

"So…are you two dating or something" Randy asked plainly. He felt Trish elbow him and he quickly looked over at her. Nora smiled noticing their interaction. Her smile grew even larger as Dave's larger hand grabbed hers and kissed it lightly.

"Actually, we are. We've been seeing each other since that night at the restaurant. By the way…thank you Trish" Dave replied and sent a wink the blonde woman's way. "So what are you guys doing here in St.Louis?" Trish asked playfully.

"Well actually, we came to see the two of you. I umm..well…Dave and I were shopping and …." Randy raised an eyebrow Dave's way and Dave glared at him. Both women laughed before Nora continued.

"Yeah so, I dragged him shopping with me and I came across something and immediately thought of you. I asked Dave what he thought and being that he's known you much longer than I have, well….I mean on friendly terms, and he said you'd love it, so we thought that we give it to you…it's for the baby actually". Randy smiled in appreciation and Trish silently stood up and hugged the equally short brunette.

"You didn't have to do that, but thank you, we really appreciate it" Trish whispered. As the two women hug, Dave ran out to the car and grabbed a huge gift wrapped box. He brought it into the house and placed it in front of Trish and Randy.

"Wow, what in the world did you guys get that's so big?" Randy questioned.

"Well, I figured that you guys would already have all the baby stuff so you wouldn't need that, so I thought a bit farther ahead" Nora said.

Trish ripped the wrapped paper off and to her surprise, it was a huge dollhouse. The dollhouse was already assembled inside, hence the big box. All four of them helped to pull the dollhouse out of the box. Trish had loved things like this when she was a child, and she actually still did, so the sight before had her in awe. Nora looked on nervously, hoping that Trish liked it, since she hadn't said anything as of yet.

"You guys, it's beautiful…..but one question….how did you know it was a girl?" Trish questioned.

Nora just shrugged her shoulders.

"I had a strong hunch….and besides even if I was wrong, I'm sure you would have loved to have it for yourself….it is an antique after all" Nora giggled.

"I have the perfect place in the nursery to put it" Trish said. Trish grabbed Nora's hand and led her to the nursery where she would give her a tour of the room, leaving the two men alone.

"Thanks man for the gift, I don't know what little girl wouldn't love to have something like that and even if she doesn't, it looks like Trish is more than willing to take it off her hands" Randy chuckled. Dave laughed before silently looking over the younger man.

"You know, I don't' think I've ever seen you this happy" Dave acknowledged.

"That's because I haven't been" Randy replied in all seriousness. Dave nodded before letting out a smirk.

"I feel bad for Trish, I can tell from now that she's going to have to play bad cop when this kid grows older because this little girl is going to have you wrapped around her little finger" Dave teased. Randy grabbed a pillow and flung it at the older man.

"We'll see about that Dave….but you're probably right, she's gonna be a daddy's girl and to tell the truth, I can't wait…".

Trish sat at the dining room table of her home in Toronto. Randy was on the European tour and Amy had been staying with her until both Randy and Matt returned. Amy, as usual, was great. She helped Trish get the nursery ready , where a lot of the baby shower gifts came in handy. Trish had finished cooking and decided to start packing envelopes and mailing the invitations to the wedding and reception. Amy was still in the shower, so she wanted to get done so by the time she was finished, they could go and mail it. Thankfully, Trish and Randy had made a lot of decisions regarding the wedding before he left. They already had a location booked, flowers, music, food and gifts for the guests were already arranged. They were actually ahead of schedule. The only thing left to do was to mail invitations and buy the wardrobe. Trish had already picked her bridesmaids. Her maid of honour, was of course Amy, and the other bridesmaids were Lisa, Stacy, Nora, Torrie and Dawn. She finally sealed the last invitation and let out a slow breath….finally done.

Two hours later, the women returned. They had only meant to drop off the invitations but the bridal shop that was right across the street was too much temptation for both women to resist. She had seen some beautiful bridesmaid dresses and had Amy try some of them on. Amy was the pickiest of all the other women when it came to formal wear so Trish decided that if Amy would like it, then all the other women would be sure to as well. Both women fell against the couch in exhaustion. Amy pulled her cell phone, reminding Trish about an important phone call she had to make. She leaned forward and grabbed the cordless phone that she had left on the coffee table and leaned back.

"Hey Ames, what time is it in Japan right now?" Trish asked.

"I have no idea, truth be told. When I called Matt earlier he was already in the arena and I called in the morning or noon, sometime around then".

Trish nodded. "Okay, but it's already tomorrow for them right?….you know what I mean…." Trish laughed. This time difference thing was really complicated.

"Yeah, it's their today is our tomorrow right now" Amy laughed, they were doing a fine job of confusing themselves.

"Okay, I guess I'll just try my luck" Trish responded and with that, she dialled the room number. After four rings, someone finally picked up.

"Hello". She could hear the grogginess in his voice and instantly felt guilty, 'she should have waited till later' she thought.

"Hey baby, I'm so sorry, I woke you up, didn't I?" she asked.

Randy cleared his throat before responding.

"It's alright, I won't complain if I get to hear your beautiful voice….is everything alright?" Trish could hear the immediate concern in his voice, he probably thought that something was wrong with her or the baby.

"Everything's great, don't worry….look, just go back to sleep, I'll call you back later" she said.

"No, no, it's okay, I wanna talk to you….I've missed you". His voice was now considerably lower and Trish could tell he was feeling nostalgic. She wished she could have been there with him but it wasn't very safe to be traveling so close to her due date.

"I called to tell you Happy Birthday" she said with excitement. She could hear him chuckle on the other end.
"You know, I actually forgot that it's my birthday today"

"Actually…" Trish giggled, "I've already hurt my head trying to figure out this time difference thing between Toronto and Japan. Technically, in Toronto time, it's not your birthday yet, it's still March 31st. I guess I should have waited….what time is it over there?"

"It's 2:45 am" he replied. Oh now, she felt even worse. "What time is it in Toronto?" he asked.

"It's only 5:45 pm here…okay, baby…I would love to talk to you longer but I know you have an early and very long day so I'll talk to ya later because I know you're gonna lay there and fight to stay awake so you can talk to me" she laughed.

"Alright, I love you…oh and tell Amy I said hi and thank you". Randy was forever grateful to Amy for being such an amazing friend to Trish. It was only knowing that she was there with her that made his worry less about leaving Trish behind.

"I will and I love you too, sweet dreams" she replied before hanging up. Amy gave her a sly smile before making kissing noises. Trish grabbed one of the sofa pillows and flung it at her.

"By the way, my husband told me to tell you hi and thank you" Trish said, while annunciating on the word husband.

"Awwww, that's sweet, but he knows it's not trouble for me….hey I know it's early but let's just change into our pyjamas and watch some movies" Amy suggested.

"Great idea….let's go".

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was now 9:00 pm and both women were already on their second movie. Amy watched curiously as Trish got up and went to the bathroom again. She had already gone six times in a few hours before and now she was making frequent trips to the room. What made it even more abnormal was the fact that she hadn't drunk anything to cause her to being going so frequently….pregnant or not.

"Hey Trish, you okay?…." Amy hollered so that Trish could hear from inside the bathroom.

"Uh huh…." was the only faint reply she heard. When Trish returned, Amy noted the look of pain and anxiety on Trish's face.

"Are you having heartburn or something from the salsa…." Amy questioned. Trish shook her head vehemently while biting her bottom lip.

"No….I think I'm having a baby…." Trish replied.

Amy immediately jumped up off the couch. "Are you serious?" 'She wasn't due for another two weeks" Amy thought.

"Of course I'm serious, I wouldn't lie about having a baby would I?" Trish was now extremely scared and not to mention in pain.

"But your water hasn't broken and you haven't mentioned anything about pains like you were having contractions or anything…."Amy said trying to make sense of the situation, trying to figure out if this was just a false alarm. She had read in one of those birthing books that women often mistake contractions for other things.

"My water did break…that's why I kept going to the bathroom, I wasn't prepared for the baby so soon so I just passed it off as sort of effect of pregnancy or something…..it wasn't until the last time I went to the bathroom did I finally admit to myself that I was gonna be having a baby tonight….and for the record, I'm a wrestler, I can take a lot pain….I wasn't gonna mention anything until I couldn't bare it anymore…." Trish's arms were flinging all over the place as she tried to explain to Amy. Amy immediately shut her up and instructed her to get in the car. Amy quickly grabbed the baby bag and overnight bag that was already packed and ran out the door.

Amy called Trish's doctor who told her that he was on his way. As soon as they got to the hospital, the doctor had already arranged for nurses to get Trish in a wheelchair and into her room. When Trish was finally taken in and Amy had filled in all of the paper work, Amy took her place by Trish's bedside. Trish looked up at her with exhaustion dancing in her brown eyes, and she hadn't even gotten to the hardest part yet.

"Did you call Randy?" Trish asked lazily.

"Oh damn, by the time I finished with all the paperwork I came up here to check on you…hold on I'll go call him now, I've got his room number and cell with me…I'll be right back…just try to relax, well…relax as much as you can in your condition…" Amy made a dash outside the hospital to call Randy. She had witnessed Trish in pain before and she was sure that no stranger was going to be able to soothe her so she wanted to get back as soon as possible. She quickly pulled out her cell and Randy's two contact numbers. With quick calculation, she figured it was still morning so she tried his hotel first. No luck. Next she tried his cell phone and after the seventh ring she was about to hang up and try again before he picked up.

"Hello" Randy answered in a low voice. Without introduction, Amy immediately questioned him.

"Why are you talking in such a low voice?"

"The entire Raw roster is in a meeting with Vince right now and they're all staring at me because I interrupted them…what can I do you for you Ames?"

"Oh right….Trish is having the baby I just brought her to the hospital". Amy was expecting Randy to start freaking out or to at least run through a list of things that needs to be done but instead she heard laughter.

"Very funny Ames, did Trish put you up to this…you know an April Fool's joke or something?" Randy asked while continuing to laugh.

'Oh great, he thinks I'm kidding" Amy thought exasperatedly. She needed to get back to Trish.

"Okay, first of all, it's 10 pm over here in Toronto so forget your local time, it's not April Fool's over here and secondly….you know what, wait for two minutes. Amy made a quick dash up the stairs, through the maternity ward on the 3rd floor before entering Trish's room. Trish was in near tears and she screamed in pain.

"Do you hear that Randy? Trish may be a great actor, but not that great to fake contractions like that" Amy said hoping that that would convince.

"Oh my God, you're serious….how far apart are her contractions? Did you get her bags and everything? Did you sign all the paperwork? Oh God….I can't believe the baby's coming early…I know it's not Trish's choice but I really wished she could have waited until I got back and……" Randy continued on while the entire roster looked on in fascination. The Queen of Stratusfaction was going to be a mom very soon and the frustrated dad was stuck in Manchester.

"Randy…." Amy interrupted him, "calm down, I've got everything covered down here, just try and see if you can get back here, if not, I know Trish will understand and for your own sake, don't beat yourself up. Knowing you and Trish, you're gonna have plenty of opportunities to see your children being born…at least at the rate you and Trish go at it."

Randy chuckled a bit which calmed his frayed nerves, but not by much. When he hung up, he instantly locked eyes with Vince, ready to ask to speak to him privately before asking if he could catch a flight back. Vince nodded his head in silent understanding.

"Go ahead Randy, you've got more important things to do than be here, we've got enough superstars here to figure out how to fill the card for tonight". Randy smiled at Vince before getting up and shaking the man's hand.

"Look, the weather is kind of foggy so I'm pretty sure they won't be taking any flights out of Manchester for the next hour but I'll tell you what…when they are cleared to fly, I'll have Shane pick you up and you guys can go down with the Jet".

"Thank you"

"Don't mention it Randy and congratulations. You tell the beautiful mother-to-be that we all send our blessings". With one last hand shake and numerous calls of congrats from his co-workers, Randy hurried out of the arena and back to his hotel to grab his belongings. He just hoped his little girl could a bit longer for him to arrive.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" Trish screamed as another contraction hit. She didn't understand what was taking so long, her contractions were coming very frequently and very painfully as well. Amy was at her side the entire time holding her hand, which Trish was sure she had probably bruised a few of her bones. It was now 10:00 am, the next morning and Trish was even more exhausted from the time she entered the hospital. From the time her water broke, she just reached her 16th hour of labour and she hating it. She just wanted the kid out of her. And now.

"Trish…" her doctor began soothingly. "I know you're in a lot of pain right now but you contractions aren't close enough for the baby to come yet. Just keep up the good work breathing. And don't think this is all that bad. I've had some women who have gone 37-45 hours in labour…"

"That's not helping me…." Trish squeaked out.

"Sorry…I shouldn't have said that" the doctor said embarrassed. The last he wanted to do was freak her out even more.

"Did Randy say if….OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW……he was coming?" Trish finished as she turned her head to talk to Amy.

"He said he would try…don't worry, I know Randy will be here as soon as he gets the chance" Amy reassured her. Trish just nodded, in her own little world. She should have taken the damn epidural. How the hell did her mother decide to have a natural birth with all three of her children when she had experienced the pain from the first one? Trish would have to ask what her mother was taking to do something so crazy, because Trish for one, had certainly learnt her lesson.

The hours had gone by excruciatingly slow for Trish. It was now 5:00 pm and she felt like she was going to pass out soon. It was a wonder how women actually went through this more than once….and willingly too! She closed her eyes to get some rest before the next contraction came. She had finally convinced Amy to at least get some coffee and something to eat. Even with her eyes closed, she was waiting drudgingly for the next contraction to come so she could start her screaming and whining. She felt a large strong hand grab her own and her eyes instantly flew open. Randy smiled down at her before stroking her hair and giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"Looks like our little girl waited for daddy to come" Randy said in an obviously joyful manner.

Trish was about to respond when she felt another contraction come on. She instinctively squeezed Randy's hand harder and began to scream. Randy looked on, incredibly scared. He hated seeing her in so much pain, and if it was anything like in the movies, he was ready to have her use him as her human punching bag, be it physical or verbal. When the contraction finally subsided, she fell back against her pillow, the sweat beads evident on her skin.

"I love you sweetie, I really do, but I really wish our baby didn't wait. I've been here for 23 hours now and I just want her to come out. Why won't she come out Randy? I mean I don't what else to do, I'm breathing and everything and the hardest part hasn't even come yet and I seriously wanna pass out! Trish cried. The tears were flowing down her face.

"Well there's one thing our daughter has already taken after you for….she comes around when she's good and ready" he smiled trying to cheer her up until the next one hit. Again another contraction came the same time Amy walked back into the room. Sending a smile Randy's way and a quick hello, both grabbed either of Trish's hand and began coaching her.

"Alright Trish…." her doctor began. "The time's here. This baby is ready to come out, all you have to do is push when I instruct you….okay" he asked calmly. Trish only nodded in response, not wanting to waste what little energy she had on talking. After four pushes, she was almost there.

"Come on Trish, one more time…that's it you're doing great…." the next sound that everyone heard was the distinct cry of a little baby girl. Trish fell back against her pillow in exhaustion and if it weren't for wanted to see her baby girl, she would have fell asleep at that very moment. The nurse quickly wrapped the baby in a blanket after cutting the umbilical chord and handed her over to Trish. For the first time, Trish held her baby girl in her arms and suddenly the past 23 hours of tortuous pain was all worth it. She would have done it again in a heartbeat. 'So that's why women keeping having more' she thought to herself. She looked up at Randy and Amy and noticing the tears in their eyes, realized that her tears weren't from just hormones. This was an amazing experience and she was completely content that she was able to share it with Amy and of course, Randy.

"Do you wanna hold her" Trish whispered softly to Randy. He looked a bit frightened but nodded in response. He wasn't quite sure how to hold the baby or how to even take the baby from Trish's arms. Trish was too tired to sit up and turn around so Amy lifted the baby out of her arms and walked over to Randy, gently placing the little girl in his awaiting arms.

"She's beautiful…." Randy whispered in awe. The three of them just stared at her for what seemed like forever, before the nurse came in to take her and clean her up before returning her. She assured Trish that she would return with the little girl as soon as she was all prettied up for her visitors. The nurse had been gone for a half an hour now and Trish had, understandably, fallen asleep. Randy and Amy were just chatting when the nurse returned with the baby. Randy asked to hold her so the nurse gave her to him rather than putting her in the little bassinette.

"Are you sure you're gonna be okay here? Amy asked Randy. Randy looked up and smiled before focusing his attention on his baby girl and nodding.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. You go on home and get some sleep, you've been here for a long time….and thank you again…for everything Ames, both Trish and I are lucky to have you around". Amy smiled in acknowledgement.

"Well if you're sure that you're okay, I'm gonna head home (referring to Trish's house). The nurse said that they'll have all tests done by tomorrow with the result and everything so she'll be coming home in the evening. I might as well cook something good for you guys. Any preferences?"

When Amy noticed Randy was intently staring at his little girl, not hearing a word she said, she only smiled to herself. She couldn't wait for her and Matt to have kids.

"I guess that's a no" she laughed. She gave Randy and hug and kiss to the cheek for her new little niece and was on her way.

An hour or so later, Trish awoke to the most surprising sight. Randy changing diapers. She quietly looked on and her lips formed a smile as she noticed Randy fumbling with the diaper and trying to get it on. She quietly got out of her bed and stood beside him, before gently grabbing his hands and going through the motions with him about what to do. Minutes later, he looked down at his handiwork and smiled.

"Piece of cake" he said cockily. Trish rolled her eyes and giggled before picking up her bundle of joy, and heading back to her bed. She was sitting up on one end of the bed, while Randy had taken a seat next to her on the other side.

"We still gotta name her" Trish whispered. She turned to her husband.

"I think you should do the honours of picking a name for her" Trish said quietly. Randy looked at her, "Are you sure?" Trish only nodded in response. He began thinking aloud of girl names.

"Tiffany, Amber, Jessica, Dolores…."Randy paused after the last name he called to see the reaction on Trish's face. Sure enough, she had her cute face scrunched up and was looking at him like he had grown two heads.

"She doesn't look like a Dolores…." Trish said defensively. Randy laughed and then looked down at their little girl. She was so tiny. She looked a lot like her mom. She had her nose and lips and even though her hair was brown, it was the light shade of brown like Trish's natural colour rather than the darker shade that his hair had. But for the first time, Randy saw his daughter awake and that's when he noticed her eyes. She had his eyes. His bright blue eyes.

"How 'bout Emma Elizabeth?" he asked softly.

Trish smiled. "Emma Elizabeth Orton….I love it".

"And I love you" he said before kissing her lips gently, "And you" he said referring to Emma.

"Oh, by the way, Happy Birthday, it is officially April 1today in Toronto" Trish smiled.

"And I couldn't have asked for a better present….you won't be able to top this one" he chuckled playfully.

"Neither will you sweetie, neither will you".
