Disclaimer: Don't own anyone but Aubrey.
Note: Thanks to all for reviewing. Hope you like this story. If you don't…oh well. Some have asked what DEI stands for. Well DEI stands for Dale Earnhardt Incorporated. It's the race team that Dale Earnhardt Sr started before he passed. It is now run by Teresa Earnhardt his wife. The cars it runs are Dale Earnhardt Jr's #8 Budweiser Chevrolet, Michael Waltrip's #15 NAPA Auto Parts Chevrolet, and 2006 full time scheduled – Martin Truex Jr's #1 Chevrolet. It also runs Paul Menard's #11 Menards/Quaker State Chevrolet in the Busch Series. So yes I know that was more than enough explanation but oh well. Also Chance 2 Motorsports is Dale Earnhardt Jr's team that he co-owns with his stepmother Teresa Earnhardt. Also JR Motorsports is mentioned in this story. This is one of JR's teams as well.
Chapter 6Aubrey looked at her stepmother as she began the questioning.
"So Aubrey…how does it feel to be married?"
"So far so good. Randy's been really good to me. I was really afraid what my family would say, and while most guys would probably just leave me to handle it on my own, he stayed there right next to me. He's been wonderful."
"So where are you two going to live?"
"Well Randy has a house in St. Charles, Missouri, while I have one here in Mooresville, North Carolina. We decided we'd keep both of them. Kind of like having our real home, and a vacation home."
"Well really Mrs. Earnhardt…"
"Please call me Teresa."
"Well Teresa I know Aubrey loves it here. I love it here. She turned me into a NASCAR fan when we first met a couple of years ago, so North Carolina is home for both of us now as well as Missouri."
"Ok Aubrey you said you were going to continue working as Randy's valet…are you still going to keep up your responsibilities here at DEI as well?"
"Yes. Most of my work here at DEI leaves me only working during the week. Randy mostly travels on the weekends, so I'm going to continue doing both for awhile still."
"I couldn't ask her to quit working here. This is her job, and she loves working with her family."
Teresa smiled at Randy instantly liking him more than she did at first.
"Aubrey we received some emails since the news spread of your marriage. The most popular one was wondering what your father would say if he was still here."
Aubrey had to say she wasn't surprised. She knew the media would drag her father's name into all of this somehow.
"Well I think daddy might've been a little on the angry side. I mean his daughter was married and he wasn't there to walk her down the aisle. He probably would've given me one of his famous talks. But I think when he saw how happy I am right now…well I think things would've been ok. I know he would support us and be happy for us."
"I know your father would've loved Randy. We all do."
Aubrey smiled at Randy and then looked back at her stepmother.
"Well that's all of our questions. We here at DEI are all very happy for you. Randy we all welcome you with open arms into not only the family here at DEI but into the Earnhardt family as well."
"Thank you very much mam."
Then the camera quit recording. Teresa looked at her stepdaughter.
"This will be showed on all of the NASCAR shows this week. If not this weekend then next weekend we hope to have you two at the races. Hopefully next weekend if possible."
"Why next weekend mom?"
"Well Linda and I discussed it and since the races are here at Lowe's Motor Speedway next weekend…well we're going to do a WWE paint scheme on Martin's car as well as the one your brother is running in the Busch race."
"Wow…"
"On Martin's car will be some of the Smack down superstars. Then on Junior's car will be some of the RAW superstars."
"That's great mom."
"Yes. The NASCAR media is probably going to want to interview you two then as well. Also if you could try to get at least one of the wrestlers on each car here for next weekend if you can."
"Do you have a list for each car?"
"Yes here it is. You two better hurry up and get over to the arena. Your brother and the guys will be there later."
"Ok mom."
Aubrey hugged her stepmother and then Teresa hugged Randy.
Later that night Aubrey was sitting in Randy's locker room looking over the list of the wrestlers on each car. Randy's cell phone began to ring and she looked at the caller ID. She noticed the name on it read Vince McMahon.
"Babe can you get that?"
"Hello?"
"Aubrey?"
"Yes. Hello Mr. McMahon."
"Please Aubrey call me Vince."
"Ok. What can I do for you Vince?"
"Well my wife tells me that DEI and WWE have teamed up for a special paint scheme on the two Busch cars next weekend."
"Yes sir…as well as a joint paint scheme on my brother's Budweiser NEXTEL Cup car, Michael Waltrip's NAPA Auto Parts Cup car, and then it will be full WWE on the cup car Martin Truex Jr runs."
"Wonderful. This will be good for all of us. Now next weekend happens to be an off weekend for Randy as you well know since he'll be off for surgery."
"Yes. My stepmother Teresa was wondering if it'd be at any way possible to have some of the wrestlers that are on the car at the race."
"Like who?"
"Well seeing as how your wife is having most of your main wrestlers on there…well the ones I know would love to go are John Cena, Big Show, Undertaker, Dave Bautista, Randy, Shawn Michaels, and Kane."
"Well I supposed we could spare the ones that want to go. It'll be good publicity."
"Ok I'll talk with the RAW wrestlers tonight and then tomorrow I'll talk to the Smackdown wrestlers tomorrow night."
"Alright Mrs. Orton…that's gonna take a little getting used to."
Aubrey laughed a little at Vince's comment and then smiled.
"Don't worry about it. I'm still getting used to being called that."
"Ok well please call me when you have the list of who is going to the races."
"Will do. Goodbye Vince."
"Goodbye Aubrey."
"Who was it honey?"
Aubrey shut Randy's cell phone closed and smiled at her husband. He looked at what his wife was wearing. She had on a white tank top and a jean skirt. Over the tank top, Aubrey wore a black button up shirt with white vertical stripes on it. He had seen that shirt before, but couldn't remember where. All he knew was that it wasn't one of his. Aubrey looked at Randy and looked over what he was wearing. He was wearing a pink button up shirt with black pants.
"It was Vince. We were just talking about the races next weekend. I need to talk to Dave, Shawn, and Glenn Jacobs to see if they want to go to the race next weekend since they'll be on the car."
"Which one am I on?"
"You're on Junior's car Busch car with Dave, Shawn, and Glenn. Then John, Big Show, and Mark Calloway will be on Martin's Busch car. So I'll talk to them tomorrow."
"Ok. Well let's go to the ring."
Later that night, Randy and Aubrey were getting ready to leave for Houston. Aubrey sat on the couch as Randy placed their bags in the back of Junior's Chevrolet Z71 pickup and looked at her brother and sighed. She hated saying goodbye to him. This was the first time since she quit working with Randy before that she wouldn't be going to the races with him.
"By the way since we're gonna be home next weekend…I'm throwing a barbecue for you two."
"Really June bug?"
"Yes AJ. You're my sister. I should do something nice."
Aubrey looked at her brother and when Junior saw the frown on her face he held his arms out for her. Aubrey walked over to her recliner where her brother was sitting and sat on his lap. When Aubrey was little Junior always did this when she was upset. Junior rubbed her back in small circles whispering words of encouragement in her ear.
"Baby girl you ready to go?"
"Yeah. Junior it's time to take me to the airport. Where's Martin?"
"Right here Aubs."
Aubrey looked up at him as he walked down the stairs and into the living room. Martin looked at Aubrey and started laughing.
"Truex what are you laughing at?"
"That's where my shirt went. I knew I washed it."
Randy again looked at the shirt his wife was wearing and frowned. He knew he'd seen that shirt before. He now remembered that he'd seen it in a picture of Martin, Aubrey, Junior, and Teresa that was taken at one of the Championship after parties. He quickly smiled so his wife wouldn't notice, but she did.
"So what? You've only worn it once. I needed a nice button up shirt to wear tonight, so I grabbed it while I was getting my clothes out of the laundry room earlier."
"It's ok. Just make sure it's clean when you return it."
The four got into Junior's truck and headed to the airport. When Randy and Aubrey landed in Houston at Bush Intercontinental Airport, the airport was fairly empty. They got their bags and into the awaiting car for them. Once they arrived at the hotel they went straight up to their suite. Aubrey picked up her cell phone and was about to call John when her phone started to ring.
"Hello?"
"Yo star where yall at?"
"Hey Felix. We're at the hotel. I told the clerk that you and Amanda were staying with us. Also when you get up here you and I are going to have a talk."
"Alright."
Thirty minutes later, John and Amanda walked into the suite, smiling. John ran over to Aubrey and picked her up.
"Felix! Put me down you ass."
John smiled.
"Spin around in circles? Ok…"
Aubrey was laughing crazily as John spun around in circles.
"Ok Cena that's enough. Put my wife down."
John and Aubrey were still laughing as John set her down on the couch. Amanda walked into the room that her and John were sleeping in as Randy walked into the room he and Aubrey were sleeping in. John looked at Aubrey.
"Balcony?"
"Yeah."
Aubrey followed John onto the balcony and sat down in one of the chairs as John sat in the other.
"So what do you wanna talk about star?"
"Well Felix I wanna know why Tony didn't really like you."
"It wasn't that he didn't like me star…it's more of he didn't think I'd stick around once I found out about Joshua."
"And?"
"I love that little boy. I know that he isn't my son, but I care about him as if he was. He's the greatest kid."
"Yeah he is. I love my nephew."
"What about you and Randy? Planning on children?"
"We actually haven't talked about it."
"I think you and him will make great parents."
"Thanks. Also I was wondering if you wanted to come to the races next weekend since you'll be on one of the cars."
"Do what?"
"WWE, Chance 2 Motorsports, and DEI are teaming up together for next weekend's races. On Martin's car some of the Smackdown superstars will be featured on it. On the car Junior's driving some of the RAW superstars will be on it. Then we're doing joint schemes with the cup cars."
"Word?"
"Yeah. Also Junior is throwing a barbecue for Randy and me at his place on Thursday night."
"And I'm invited?"
"Of course. Junior knows all about you and Amanda. He's ok with it. Heck he's got a girlfriend of his own named Mikayla. He likes you."
"Ok. I guess I'll go."
"Haha Felix."
"Well how about we go back inside? The four of us will all get in our pajamas and watch TV."
Aubrey nodded and soon the four of them were sitting in front of the TV. An hour later John looked around the room. He noticed Randy, Aubrey, and Amanda were both asleep. He turned off the TV and carried his girlfriend to bed. He walked back in the living room of the suite and looked at Randy. He walked over to him and lightly tapped him. Randy stirred and looked up at John.
"Yeah?"
"Take your wife to bed will ya? We all have to be up early tomorrow."
Randy nodded and carried Aubrey to bed. Later that night at Reliant Arena, Aubrey walked around with Amanda.
"So who's left to talk to?"
"Well I've already talked to the few RAW wrestlers that Teresa wanted. I've already talked to John. The only ones left to talk to are Mark, Big Show, and then I need to call Vince back."
"Well there's Mark right there. Be careful Red. He is feuding with your husband."
Aubrey looked up and slowly walked over to Mark Calloway.
"Hey Taker…"
"Well, well, well…if it isn't Aubrey Orton."
"Hello Mark. I have some business to talk to you about."
"If you're planning on tricking me again like your husband did earlier you can forget about it. I won't be so nice."
"No it isn't about that. Chance 2 Motorsports and DEI are running special paint schemes next weekend since the races will be at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte. You are one of the superstars featured on the cars. We at DEI and Chance 2 would like to extend an invitation to the races."
"We're traveling that weekend."
"Vince said anyone who wanted to go could be cleared."
"I'd love to be on the car, but I'm sorry Aubrey. I can't go to the races."
"That's fine Mark. I'll put down that you'd still like to be on the car. I'll send you some pictures of the car. Also the cars will be ready next Tuesday. Would you be interested in coming to Mooresville, North Carolina, to take some pictures? They'll be featured in the RAW and Smackdown magazines as well as all the NASCAR magazines."
"Sure. Here's my cell phone number. Just call me and let me know more about it."
"I sure will. Thanks Mark."
Then Aubrey walked back over to Amanda and headed with her to John's locker room where John and Randy were waiting. Aubrey walked in the room and sat next to her husband and sighed.
"What's wrong baby girl?"
"The only wrestlers coming next weekend are you and John."
"What?"
"Yeah. Nobody else wants to take a break from their job."
"Well we'll be there Aubrey. Everything will still be ok."
Aubrey nodded and leaned in to kiss Randy. It seemed the night flew by quickly because the next thing Aubrey knew she was sitting with Amanda, Dave's wife Angie, Shawn's wife Becca, and Stephanie McMahon. They were at Minute Maid Park for the WWE RAW vs. Smackdown charity softball game. She looked onto the field where tonight's announcers stood to announce the players for each team. She noticed five of the divas from each roster were standing in front of the dugout wearing practically nothing. She watched as Jerry "The King" Lawler and Tazz began talking.
"Hello fans and welcome to Minute Maid Park here in Houston, TX. I'm Tazz and with me tonight is Jerry "The King" Lawler. Tonight it's RAW vs. Smackdown in WWE's annual charity softball game. First off our umpires for tonight are The Rock, Shane McMahon, and Stone Cold Steve Austin."
Tazz paused letting Jerry announce the RAW team since he was from RAW.
"First off all of you notice these beautiful ladies standing here. They are five of RAW's finest divas as Team RAW's cheerleaders. We have Trish Stratus, Christy Hemme, Stacy Keibler, Candice, and Victoria. Team RAW's main coach is our very own GM Eric Bischoff. Our first and third base coaches are Jim Ross and Jonathon Coachman. Now for our players…"
Jerry took a deep breath and then began to announce all the players for the RAW team.
"We have Batista, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Chris Masters, Christian, Edge, Kane, Matt Hardy, Maven, Randy Orton, Robert Conway, The Hurricane, Shelton Benjamin, Sylvain Grenier, Triple H, Tyson Tomko, and Val Venis."
Aubrey, Stephanie, and Angie stood up cheering for their husbands when their names were called. Next Tazz stepped up to announce the Smackdown roster.
"Now for the winning team…first off our cheerleaders… Joy Giovanni, Michelle McCool, Torrie Wilson, Dawn Marie, and Miss Jackie. For our coach we have GM Theodore Long. Our base coaches consist of Michael Cole and Josh Matthews. Now here it's my honor to present the "winning" team for tonight…"
Tazz paused and then began to announce all the Smackdown players.
"We have Billy Kidman, Booker T, Charlie Haas, Chavo Guerrero, Danny Basham, Doug Basham, Eddie Guerrero, Hardcore Holly, JBL, John Cena, Mark Jindrak, Orlando Jordan, Paul London, Rene Dupree, Rey Mysterio, Scotty 2 Hotty, and Undertaker."
Amanda took her turn standing up cheering for John. John was playing catcher when Randy stepped up to bat. When Randy stood waiting for the pitch what happened next wasn't expected…
