A/N: Okay, personal life takes a higher priority over fun stuff like writing. I'm sorry for the long delay in updates. However, this story is going to be ending after the next chapter. There's only so much you can do with a high school fic, and well, they do end up graduating. I hope you all have enjoyed this story, as much as we have, writing it.
Chapter 30
Heather and the babies had been home from the hospital for a couple of days, when Rae and Amanda stopped over with their boyfriends to see the babies as well as to deliver some presents.
"We've come baring gifts." Rae announced, walking into the living room where Heather was holding Jeffrey, and Jeff was holding Axl.
"Ooooh goodie. What'd ya bring me?" Heather asked, getting all excited.
"Um, Chica, the gifts are for the babies." Amanda answered, laughing at the sudden upset look on Heather's face.
"Chica, you've always been like this when it comes to gifts. You really didn't think we'd forget to get you something do you?" Rae asked, as she and Amanda exchanged amused glances.
"Well knowing how you two get sometimes, yeah, I can believe that would happen." Heather replied, while Amanda took Axl from Jeff.
"Hon, Randy and I are going to go take care of a couple of things. We won't be gone long." Dave whispered, giving Rae a quick kiss, and leaving before she could ask him what he was doing.
xoxoxoxoxo
Dave and Randy turned onto the street John had said Rene lives on, and by this time, Randy could feel his blood boiling.
"Randy man, are you sure you want to do this? If he calls the police, you could wind up in jail." Dave asked, trying to reason with his friend.
"After what he did to Manda, he just better be glad I'm not going to kill him." Randy said, his blue eyes turning darker the madder he got. "Hey Frenchy!" Randy yelled, getting out of his truck, when he saw Rene in his yard.
"Well, if it isn't little Mr. Popular himself, Randy Orton. What can I do for you?" Rene asked, a cocky smile crossing his face.
"Well, there's not really a whole lot you can do, except wipe that look off your face." Randy said, right before his fist connected with Rene's jaw. Once Randy threw that first punch, he didn't stop.
"You think you can rape my girlfriend and get away with it? You're a sick bastard, and so help me God, I will see you rot in hell for this." Randy vowed, kicking Rene in the ribs for good measure
xoxoxoxoxo
Amanda had to bite back a laugh as she watched Rae 'attempt' to change Jeffrey's diaper, while Heather was feeding Axl. "Shut up Manda. I don't see your laughing ass over here helping Chica out." Rae grumbled, trying to get the sticker to stick to the diaper.
"Yeah, but I also know that I don't change diapers, so really no point in volunteering." Amanda replied, shrugging her shoulders.
"Well, what are you going to do when you have kids? Make Randy change them?" Heather asked, laughing slightly.
"Yup, cause until kids can be born already potty trained, I ain't having them." Amanda answered, as Randy and Dave walked back in.
"What aren't you having? Heather, Jeff wants you to come out and see if the car seats look okay to you." Randy said, sitting down next to Amanda.
"I'm not having kids, unless you know how to change diapers, and will change them all the time." Amanda answered, while Heather walked outside shaking her head and laughing.

3 months later
Amanda was putting the finishing touches on her make up, when she heard the doorbell ring. 'Figures he'd show up early today. Any other time he's late.' Amanda mumbled, knowing that Randy was there to take her to the graduation ceremony. While Amanda finished getting her stuff ready to leave, Randy was downstairs talking to Shawn.
"Randy, I know you love my daughter, but this is a big deal. I don't want to see my daughter hurt anymore. I can't forbid it, but I do have some reservations about it." Shawn said, causing Randy to nod in understanding.
"Mr. Michaels, I can only give you my word that I would never intentionally hurt Amanda. I would give up everything just to make sure she was safe." Randy said, as Amanda came down the stairs.
"Hey babe, are you ready to go graduate?" Amanda said, walking up and giving Randy a small kiss, before turning to hug her dad. "I'll see you after the ceremony dad. Come on Randy, let's go." Amanda said, pulling on Randy's hand.
"Ugh, I'm so sick of being pregnant." Rae grumbled, trying to fasten the straps of her heels.
"You only have a month left babe." Dave said, fidgeting with his tie.
"Okay, you try being 8 months pregnant on the hottest fuckin day of the year, and not able to see your feet to put your damn shoes on. Then you can come tell me that." Rae answered, about ready to throw her shoes again. "Don't see why I can wear fuckin tennis shoes." She mumbled; as Dave knelt down to help her with her shoes.
Once that was taken care of, they headed downstairs and ran into Mark.
"I can't believe my little girl is graduating. I didn't think this day would actually get here." Mark said, giving Rae a hug while she handed her cap and gown to Dave. "I swear it seems like it was just yesterday you all were in grade school together." Mark reminisced, releasing Rae from their hug, and looked over at her and Dave standing next to each other.
"Okay, well we need to get going now dad. We'll see you at the ceremony." Rae said, wanting to hurry up and leave, before her dad started with baby stories about her.
Heather was rushing around the nursery, trying to get the twins ready, and she didn't hear Jeff come into the room.
"Baby, are you ready?" Jeff asked, causing Heather to jump slightly and the dog to look up from her spot in between the cribs. "Not you, the other Baby." Jeff said, laughing a bit, when the little pit bull laid back down.
"Yeah, I'm just trying to make sure that the babies are all ready for my dad, that way he doesn't have to do too much." Heather replied, putting a headband on Axl that matched her outfit.
"Hon, I think your dad can handle taking care of them. He did a pretty good job with you, plus Sarah will be here anytime. We really need to get going." Jeff said, walking over and picking up Jeffrey from the crib.
"Alright, let's go graduate then." Heather answered, looking up into her boyfriends captivating green eyes, that little Axl had inherited.
xoxoxoxoxo
The graduation ceremony seemed to drag on forever, before they got to the diplomas. Amanda had to bite her lip when she remembered Rae's comment from Meagan's graduation. "Ol' McMahon loves to drag things out forever and a fuckin' day." Rae had said, causing Amanda to start laughing, and Shawn to shoot her a warning look. Before Amanda could reminisce anymore, Mr. McMahon had said it was time to hand out the diplomas.
"David Batista." Mr. McMahon said, while everyone cheered for him, Rae could be heard yelling, "Way to go big D."
When McMahon got to Rae's name, nobody could tell who was happier. "Raechel Dawn Calloway." As Rae walked across the stage to get her diploma, Mark, Shawn, and Steve were all cheering, causing Amanda and Heather to worry what would happen when their names were finally called. When Rae got back to her seat, she vaguely heard them call John's name. "John Felix Anthony Cena." McMahon's annoying voice called out.
After going through some more classmates, the next name heard was "Jeffrey Nero Hardy." Heather felt her eyes well up with tears, especially since she figured he wouldn't be there to graduate. It seemed like when Stephanie McMahon was called up to get her diploma, she was up there forever.
Finally Mr. McMahon said, "Amanda Leigh Michaels." Once again, Shawn, Mark, and Steve were all cheering, and as Amanda took her diploma, she looked out when she heard her dad yell, "Way to go princess." On her way back to her seat, she looked over at Randy, who just smiled and winked at her. By the time they got to Randy's name, Heather could hear Axl start to cry, and saw Sarah taking her outside into the lobby.
"Randy Keith Orton." Mr. McMahon said, while everyone cheered, Amanda thought back on everything that's happened to them this year, and what the future has in store. When they finally got to the W's Amanda noticed Rae mouth 'Thank God' and knew she was probably getting miserable.
"Heather Michelle Williams." Mr. McMahon's voice boomed out. Of course, not to let her feel left out, Steve, Mark, and Shawn cheered for her just like they did for Rae and Amanda. Both girls laughed when they saw Heather's cheeks blush a crimson red.

After the ceremony, everyone was walking out trying to find their families, when Randy snuck up behind Amanda.
"Hey beautiful." He said, wrapping his arms around her waist, and kissing her neck.
"Hey babe. I was just getting ready to go find my dad." Amanda told him, turning around and giving him a kiss.
"He's inside talking with my parents. Will you go for a walk with me?" Randy asked, almost shyly. It was then Amanda noticed he'd already shed his cap and gown as well as his tie.
"Yeah, I guess so." Amanda answered, a little unsure as to why they were taking a walk around here. They walked over to Randy's car, where he took her cap and gown and placed it in the backseat with his. Only his car wasn't parked where it had been earlier. He had moved it down by the pier overlooking the lake. There were beautiful white Christmas lights strung up, and Amanda was taking all this in, when Randy started speaking.
"Amanda. I haven't always known the right things to say or do, but in my heart, I know that you and I, we're the best thing. I have loved you ever since middle school, even if I could never admit it. You are the one that keeps me going and breathing and I hope I never stop loving you; cause then my world would be so empty and cold. What I'm asking is, Amanda Leigh Michaels, will you make me the happiest man in the world, and be my wife?" Randy asked, kneeling down on one knee, and holding a beautiful ½ carat princess cut diamond engagement ring. Tears spilling from both their eyes, Amanda kneeled down with him, as she gave him her answer.
"Yes. Yes Randy, I will marry you." She answered, as he slipped the ring on her finger and pulled her to him in a soft passionate kiss.
