Chapter 5

"I bet that boy is a good looking man when he's not all banged up like that." One of the nurses sighed sitting down in a chair next to Kennedy.

She smiled, most likely he was... but then again she couldn't recall any of them being actually ugly.

"I know for a fact he's gorgeous!" Another nurse whispered.

"You watch that stuff?" Kennedy asked the nurse whom usually seemed quiet and reserved.

She nodded vigorously, "With my husband, religiously, and I'll tell you that Randy Orton is some piece of work."

Kennedy's mouth was hanging open as a few other nurses came over and joined in the conversation over the handsome wrestler. She had watched wrestling a few times while staying in one of the foster homes, but she had found it appalling, with the... half dressed, over grown men yelling and beating the snot out of each other. Yet, her nurses were making it sound like a day time soap opera that just couldn't be missed.

"Ladies!" she hissed as their excited voices grew louder, "We need to keep it down."

All of the girls mumbled their apologies and headed off in different directions, leaving her standing in shock.

"What's wrong, Ms. Sheppard?" the nurse that started the discussion asked.

Kennedy shook her head and let out a half hysterical laugh, "I just don't understand you guys. We have all kinds of men in here, from any sport you can name, all of them are good looking... I get the first professional wrestler and then you guys get excited... I'm seriously lost here."

She shrugged, "If you watched it the way we do, you might." She stated simply walking off.

Grabbing Randy's paperwork, Kennedy tried to get back to the task at hand and headed back for his room.

"I told you dad, I don't give a rat's ass..." Randy huffed, "I'm not staying here. Vince will just have to put me up somewhere else."

She had just walked in the room and heard the last of what was being said. If she hadn't heard that from so many other patients, it might have hurt her feelings.

"Randy, pipe down!" he father scolded with a mean look, "You're staying, and that's final."

He couldn't believe it, his own parents were communists. Everyone had said that this was the best facility, but he didn't see it, "No DAD! Look at her, not even trying to appear professional, she looks like a fan in the stands."

Kennedy looked down at her khaki pants and clinic polo, "Would you prefer a white coat and stethoscope?"

"I'll tell you what I prefer..."

"Randy Keith Orton!" his mom yelled cutting him off, "I raised you better than this, if you can't at least try to be nice if only for a minute then shut the hell up!"

Randy sucked his bottom lip in at his mothers out burst, before turning a heated gaze in her direction.

She sighed, "Again Randy, I'll apologize for upsetting you... I was just trying to break the ice." She offered trying to make peace.

He said nothing just continued to glare at her while Mr. and Mrs. Orton smiled at her like nothing was wrong.

"Okay..." she sighed, "Well, I have Randy's forms ready for you both to sign, Mr. McMahon has already stated what he wants for Randy before he starts his therapy, and I can ensure that he will be comfortable and well taken care of in the weeks to come. I also have the keys to an apartment that he's set up for you nearby, so you can have a place to stay.

Mr. Orton smiled, "Thank you, Ms. Sheppard, we will be around quite a bit while he's here."

Kennedy nodded, "I wouldn't expect any less, if we here at the clinic can aid either of you in anyway be sure you let us know. I know that your son despises me right now, but I plan to eventually make him my friend."

Randy opened his mouth to say something but his mother reached over and popped him on the back of the head before he could.

She smiled knowingly at him, "Don't worry, I'm well aware that it isn't an option right now, but I'm willing to fight for you to like me and to gain your trust."

Well that is all I have for today to update... I hope you all are enjoying this story, and even if you're not be sure to give me whatever advice you think I need... And if you like it tell me what you like... thanks 8-)
