Courtney's time back at the WWE had flown by. Her little Roxie was now ten months old she couldn't believe it. She was still hanging about with Trish and Christy. Christy was finally married after all this time. Courtney was so happy for her but what really made her laugh now was Trish it was only seven short months ago she had been saying she would never have kids and that she didn't know how Courtney was but it was olny a week ago Trish had announced she was pregnant!. She had been seeing her boyfriend Josh for a long time but she had always insisted it wasn't serious and she was too young to be tied down...until he proposed anyway. Chris was still being funny with her, they hardly ever spoke anymore and it really got her down. She had been so sure that they were good friends but obviously she was wrong good friends didn't avoid you at all costs only saying hi to you when they realised there was no way of getting out of it.

"You know what Roxie sweetie we are just going to stop thinking about your weird uncle Chris"she told her beautiful baby who was sitting next to her on the bed."geuss what i've been up to lately, your mommy's started song writing again and i've got two very special songs one for you and one for your daddy. I still miss him, what shall i tell you about him today then?". She looked at Roxie expectantly. Roxie smiled up at her and said mamma the one word she could say properly.

"You wanna know how your mommy and daddy met alright then well i was new at the WWE and your crazy aunt Christy made me do an interview and told your daddy that i liked him, i was soo embaressed but i didn't mind when he asked me on a date. We had some tough times but we ended back together it's like we were meant to be together"she said before faltering"forever".

Roxie had fallin asleep so Courtney lifted her into her cot and she began writing another song.

A year ago today she thought sadly. Her thought were interupted when the phone rang.

"Hey Christy"she said without thinking as she answered the phone.

"I prefer Mr McMahon"said the voice on the other end of the line.

"Oh Mr McMahon i'm so sorry!"she exclaimed

"that's alright"he assured her"i was calling to ask you a favour"

"what is it?"she asked

"Well we wanted to ask you if you could say a few words on the show tonight seeing as it's been a year since...."he replied awkwardly.

"I think Randy would have liked that"she told him kindly"it's a lovely idea"

"thank you Courtney"he said warmly"i understand how difficult this must be for you"

"It's not a problem bye"she said before hanging up the phone.

"what am i gonna say"she asked herself. She spent the whole afternoon coming up with a speech. She went to get ready as soon as Christy had arrived.

"one sec Christy i'm gonna go change can you watch Roxie?"she asked

"Sure thing"Christy replied sitting down next to her neice.

Ten minutes later Courtney emerged wearing a simple black pants and a pretty white blouse. She left her long blonde hair down and only put on a tiny bit of make-up.

"Courtney you look great"Christy told her kindly.

"thanks"she said with a smile

"I found this"Christy said holding up a peice of paper"did you write that?"

"Yes"she admitted going slightly pink.

"It's really good"christy complimented.

"thanks can we go now?"she asked quickly.

"yeah let's go"christy said as Courtney picked up roxie to take her out to the car.

Before Courtney knew it she was there and a sick feeling washed over her as she knew she would be the first person out there to give her speech.

"You'll be great"Christy told her giving her hand a squeeze for support before running off.

"Wonder where she's gone"C she laughed getting Roxie out of the car and carrying her into the arena. They went into the locker room where everyone made a huge fuss over Roxie as she sat on Trish's knee. The normal routine and Courtney could tell Roxie loved all the attention.

Just like her dad she thought with a sad smile he loved being in the limelight.

"Trish will you watch Roxie i have to give my speech?"she asked

"Sure no problem"Trish replied

"and no giving her loads of chocolate"she warned before leaving the room. She was met by a smiling Mr McMahon and Christy who was starting to look guilty.

"What did you do?"she asked suspicously.

"Don't be mad"Christy told her.

"Miss Hemme, sorry Mrs Cena showed me your song and i think it would be great if you sang it here tonight on raw as a tribute to Randy"he told her.

"You showed him!"she exclaimed"My songs are private i write them for me to get my feelings out"

"It would have meant so much to him Court"Christy told her

"Your right"she said with a small smile"I'll do it"

"Well your on now"Mr McMahon told her before leaving again.

Courtney took a deep breathe"Christy you need to play it for me my keyboard is in the trunk as always if you go get it now you can play after my speech"

"alright good luck"Christy said before running off.

It;s now or never she thought as she walked down the ramp and into the ring. They were in St Louis Randy's home town it was perfect. She saw Randy's mother in the front row and that made her feel even more nervous. She gave her a small smile before she began.

"I've been asked to come out here and say a few words about Randy Orton, to be honest at first i didn't want to do it but Randy would have wanted this i'm sure about it. As you all know anyway Randy and I were married and have a beautiful daughter Roxie, and we both miss him very much as i'm sure all of you do, everyone who met Randy loved him, he just had a way of lightining up a room when he entered it. He always had time for people and you hardly ever heard him say a bad word about anyone. Randy was practically perfect and i don't know why he choose to marry me, but i'm glad he did that short time we spent together was so amazing and impossible to forget. And as you can tell i don't really know what to say, speeches where never my thing and talking about Randy and trying to describe him is practically impossible so now that Christy is here i'm going to sing a song i wrote Randy and I" she said with real emotion in her voice and tears glistening in her eyes. It may not have been the best speech ever but it was heartfelt. She took a deep breathe as the music began and she started to sing her sweet voice filling the arena.

Another year older
A little bit stronger
A little bit wiser than?a year ago today

Looking over my shoulder
I was so much younger then
I can't believe what happened
A year ago today

And I just can't forget about it
It wouldn't mean a thing
You went away
A year ago today

Another year gone by
Oh the tears have run dry
Life seemed so unkind
A year ago today

And I just can't understand it
And I don't think I ever will
You went away
A year ago today

And how many times have I questioned myself
What more could I do
And how many times did I fool myself
Over you oh?yeah

You've gotta pick yourself up,
Take another look
And dust yourself off cause life's not too good,
I'll say it to myself and I'll say it again
Love will never end

And though we're so far apart
You're forever in my heart

Another year older
A little bit stronger
On this anniversary
You're watching over me

You went away
A year ago today.

The arena was stunned into silence for a few minutes as the tears were streaming down Courtney's face. Christy ran down and hugged her friend and Trish and Chris came down with Roxie to join them in the ring. Mrs Orton was the first to begin clapping and cheering and straight away the noise in the arena was almost deathening as the others joined in.

"That song was called a year ago today"She said simply"thank you". She picked up Roxie and walked backstage needing some time alone but she stopped and hugged Emily before she left. Today had been hard but she had gotten through it. She knew now that the worst was over and that she would be ok.
