The following day, Vanessa was sitting in her living room miserable as ever, she had lost Dave and now she had to tell Megan that Randy was her father. Megan did not take the news that Vanessa and Dave were not getting married very well. In fact she was still in her room crying, and Vanessa understood why, since she felt the same way. She had tried to call Dave, but always lost the courage to do it. She sighed as she looked at the picture of her and Dave from the Raw magazine. She was so happy at that moment, until Randy Orton came back into their lives and ruined everything. Vanessa sighed as she looked toward the ceiling and wondered how Megan was going to take the fact that Randy was her father. Vanessa closed her eyes and wished her life was different, she did not know how it would be different, but she still wished it was. Suddenly the doorbell rang and she sighed as she knew that it was Randy. She looked up again to the heavens and said, "Lord give me strength." She then went to the door and opened it to reveal that sure enough there was Randy standing there. "Randy," was all Vanessa said before she turned away from him to let him into the house.

Randy sighed as he got the very cool welcome from Vanessa, "This is going to be a long day, I just know it." He entered the house and closed the door behind him. His blue eyes looked around the house and longed for the warmth that was once there. He looked at Vanessa and longed for the love and warmth that was once in her eyes instead of the cold and hate that are in them now. "So where is Megan?"

"I'll get her," said Vanessa and went to the stairs, "Megan! Can you please come down here? Mommy needs to talk to you about something." Vanessa then went into the living room, where Randy was sitting on the couch and Vanessa sighed praying for strength.

A couple minutes later a tear-stained face Megan Orton came down the stairs and went up to Vanessa, "What mommy?" Randy could not believe when he saw Megan, he really looked at her. He could see the resemblance of him in her with her blue eyes and the shape of her mouth. He immediately fell in love with his daughter, and he hoped that Megan would be happy that he was back to be the father he should have been to her for the last seven years.

"Well baby," said Vanessa as she kneeled in front of Megan and stroked her brown curls, "do you remember a few months ago when I told you about your daddy?"

"Yes mommy I remember," said Megan as she looked at Vanessa, completely unaware that Randy was in the room, "what about him?"

"Do you remember when I said that he was never coming back?"

"Yes."

"Well honey," said Vanessa as she looked at Randy briefly and then looked back at her daughter, "I was wrong." Suddenly Randy stood up from where he was and went up to the two women of his life. Vanessa sighed as she looked at Randy and knew that it was time to tell Megan. "Honey, this is," She turned Megan to face Randy and smiled lightly, "Randy Orton, your daddy."

"Hi Megan," said Randy with a smile on his face.

Megan looked at Randy and slowly digested the information, "You're my daddy?"

"Yes sweetie," said Randy, "I am your daddy. I just want you to know that I am sorry for not being here for you for the last seven years, but I do want you to know that I do love you very much, and I want to spend the rest of my life making up for all those years lost."

Suddenly Megan at him and said the words both Vanessa and Randy never thought she would say, "I hate you daddy!"

Vanessa looked at Megan with confusion, "Megan! Why would you say a thing like that?"

"Mommy, he is the reason you and Dave are not getting married! He caused Dave to leave us! It's his fault that we will not be a family with Dave! It's all his fault mommy! I hate you daddy and I never want to see you again!" With that she ran back into her room and slammed the door.

Vanessa was in shock at what Megan had said, and so was Randy. "Randy… I don't know what to say."

Randy looked at Vanessa, "My daughter hates me."

"Randy, I am sorry. I am going to go talk to her, please stay here." With that Vanessa ran up the stairs to go and talk to her daughter. When she got to Megan's rooms, she knocked on the door, "Meggie? Can mommy come in?" When she did not get a answer she tried the door, and smiled when she found it unlocked. "Meg?" She opened the door and saw her daughter sitting on the bed clinging to a picture. "Honey? What do you got there?"

As Vanessa sat down on the bed, Megan sighed as she said, "The picture of you me and Dave from the day after he asked you to marry him." Megan handed her the picture and Vanessa smiled lightly, "back when days were good."

"Yeah," said Vanessa, "when days were good." She placed the picture down on the bed, "baby, listen to me. I don't want you to hate your daddy because of what happened with me and Dave OK?"

"But mommy," said Megan, "he made Dave hate you and leave us."

"Well honey, to tell you the truth, it's not all not your daddy's fault. Part of it was mommy's fault. Mommy should have stopped Daddy from what he was doing, so in a way its mommy's fault that Dave left. Honey, I am sorry, I know how much you wanted me and Dave to get married, but right now, you have the chance to get to know your daddy. I know that he left us seven years ago, but he came back and he wants to be a part of your life. He loves you very much and wants to be part of your life to be the father that he should have been seven years ago. Do you think you can try and get to know him? Please?"

"OK mommy, I will try and get to know daddy."

"Thank you pumpkin," said Vanessa as she kissed Megan's curls, "let's go and talk to daddy." Megan nodded and together they walked down the stairs and went into the living room to where Randy was standing.

While Vanessa was upstairs talking to Megan, Randy was standing in the living room, in shock of what had happened, he relieved the moment.

FLASHBACK

A couple minutes later a tear-stained face Megan Orton came down the stairs and went up to Vanessa, "What mommy?" Randy could not believe when he saw Megan, he really looked at her. He could see the resemblance of him in her with her blue eyes and the shape of her mouth. He immediately fell in love with his daughter, and he hoped that Megan would be happy that he was back to be the father he should have been to her for the last seven years.

"Well baby," said Vanessa as she kneeled in front of Megan and stroked her brown curls, "do you remember a few months ago when I told you about your daddy?"

"Yes mommy I remember," said Megan as she looked at Vanessa, completely unaware that Randy was in the room, "what about him?"

"Do you remember when I said that he was never coming back?"

"Yes."

"Well honey," said Vanessa as she looked at Randy briefly and then looked back at her daughter, "I was wrong." Suddenly Randy stood up from where he was and went up to the two women of his life. Vanessa sighed as she looked at Randy and knew that it was time to tell Megan. "Honey, this is," She turned Megan to face Randy and smiled lightly, "Randy Orton, your daddy."

END FLASHBACK

"I can not believe that she hates me… but I can not blame her," said Randy and then smiled lightly, "but she called me daddy. She actually called me daddy." He went to the mantle and then noticed one picture that he thought he would never see. He picked up the picture and smiled, it was the picture from their wedding day. He smiled as he saw how young they were, and how much in love they were. Suddenly he heard Vanessa and Megan making their way down the stairs, so he quickly placed the picture back on the mantle. He then looked at Megan as she made her way up to him and kneeled down to her level. "Hey you still hate me Megan?"

"No," said Megan as she looked at her father, "I don't hate you. I was just mad at you for what happened between mommy and Dave. I am sorry that I said that to you."

"It's OK baby," said Randy as he placed a hand on his daughter's cheek, "I can understand why you said that. Sweetheart, please believe me, I did not mean to ruin things between your mom and Dave. I am really am sorry baby, do you think we can try to have a relationship? I know I left you and your mom, but I want you to know baby girl, that I love you very much and I want to be the father that I should have been all those years ago. Will you give me the chance?"

Megan looked at her dad for a few minutes and smiled her sweet smile as she said, "Yes Daddy I can give you a chance."

Randy smiled as he hugged his daughter with love and happiness, "Thank you baby, thank you." He kissed her temple and smiled as he fell in love with his daughter and knowing that he had a chance. As Randy hugged his daughter, Vanessa looked at the two and smiled at the wonderful picture of Randy and Megan hugging. She thought to herself that if Megan can forgive him, than maybe she could forgive him as well.
