Chapter 36: Reconciliation
Rae & Amanda walked through the backstage area of an arena with their respective partners for the taping of SmackDown, the Tuesday following the "BIG ONE" as Amanda referred to it. Rae still hadn't opened up about how she was feeling inside regarding the argument she and Heather had. Amanda was getting worried that her two friends wouldn't make up, and would just go on without even showing the slightest bit of regret. The foursome parted ways and Rae walked into Johns assigned locker room with him. She sat down and sighed heavily. John sat down next to her and kissed her cheek with a gentle smile, "I can't believe we're going to be parents." Raechel smiled and nodded in agreement, "I know, it's a little odd to think of me with a kid." John grinned and kissed her gently on the lips, "You'll be a great mother." Rae smirked at him, "Oh, and you'll be a shitty dad," she said, completely sarcastic. John smiled and hugged her tightly, "I love you." Rae nuzzled against him, "I love you too."
Amanda walked into Randy's locker room, with him right behind her. He immediately wrapped his arms around her from behind and started kissing her neck. Amanda smirked, "You've gotten worse since we got engaged." Randy grinned, continuing his assault on her neck, "You don't care." Amanda smirked and closed her eyes, "This is true, but you keep it up, and I'm gonna be right there with Rae and Heather." Randy stopped kissing her neck and just held her, "I would love for you to have my kids." Amanda smiled, "I damn well hope so, we're supposed to be getting married." Randy grinned and tightened his hold on her, "I love you so much." Amanda smiled, "I love you too Randy."
Rae and Amanda met up at catering while John and Randy had their tag match against Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty. They were talking like always, about their guys and about who was better when a shadow fell over them. Rae and Amanda both looked up to see Heather standing there. Rae sighed and looked back down at the floor. Amanda stood up, "I'm going to leave you two alone." Rae was about to protest, but Heather did it for her, "No Amanda, I'll go. You two can talk." Amanda shook her head, "Hell no! You two NEED to talk about this shit. I'll see you two later." With that, she walked away.
Raechel sighed and didn't allow her eyes to meet Heathers eyes as she sat down next to her. Rae finally looked up at her younger friend, "So, you're sure about this? I mean, being back with him and all." Heather nodded, "Yeah, I love him Rae." Rae nodded and looked back up at Heather, "Chica, I don't like you going back to him, considering all he did, but if you're happy, then I'm happy for you." Heather smiled at Rae, "Thanks Rae, that's all I really wanted to hear. I know you hate Brock, but I love him, and he's my husband." Rae nodded and then smiled, "You know what." "What?" "I'm gonna be havin a kid too." Heather's eyes went wide and she hugged Rae tightly, "Oh my God, congrats!" Rae smirked and nodded as she returned the hug from her friend, "Thanks." Heather smiled, "This is great! I mean, our kids are gonna grow up together and be great friends!" Rae nodded, "Yeah, I guess so." Heather looked at Rae oddly, "You okay?" Rae stood up and sighed, "I don't know. I'll see ya later, okay?" Heather nodded, "Yeah, okay." She watched her friend leave and wondered what was bothering her.
Rae was pacing Johns dressing room when he returned from talking with Randy after their match. He stopped once he walked in the door, "Rae, everything okay?" Rae shook her head, "I can't be happy for her, honestly, I'm tryin, but I can't." John sighed as he hugged Rae, "Baby, you really need to talk about the whole argument with Heather. I know it's hard for you to actually TALK about feelings, but you need to do it." Rae shook her head as she pulled from John, "I dunno what I'd say." John kissed her gently on the forehead, "I don't know what to tell you, except, you'll come up with something." He sat down and removed his boots. Rae sighed, "I'm gonna go see if I can find Heather." John nodded and watched her go. He sighed heavily, hoping that the two of them would be able to make up, REALLY.
Rae found Heather and Brock in the parking lot getting ready to leave for the night. She sighed and walked towards them, "Heather, hang on a minute." Heather walked over to her friend, Brock was close behind. Rae eyed him for a moment and then looked at Heather, "Chica, I can't be happy for you. I know I said I could be earlier, but all of this," she nodded toward Brock, "It's not something I'm proud of saying, but you LOVE Brock. So, be with him. I don't want you to be miserable, so I'm just gonna take care of this now ... " Heather started crying, "Don't say it Rae. You and I are like sisters. We've known each other for 6 years! We've been inseperable since. I don't want to give up on our friendship." Rae shook her head, "You're happier being with him, so go, be happy." Brock took Heather into his arms and held her tightly as she started to cry. He glared at Rae with his icy blue eyes. Rae scowled, "Fuck you Brock." Heather looked at Rae and began to cry harder, that was not what she wanted to hear. Rae sighed heavily, "Go be with him." Heather looked at Rae, then up at Brock. She backed away from her husband and looked at Rae again, "Rae, Brock, make up." Brock looked at his wife as if she had lost her mind, while Rae glared at him, "Why should I?!" "Cus you love me, just do it," Heather replied with a sigh. Brock shook his head and crossed his arms over his chest. Rae let her eyes travel to Heather, "Damn right I love ya, but I don't he does!" Brock stepped toward Rae, but Heather put her hand on his chest to stop him, "He does." Rae ignored Heather and glared at Brock, "Come on Brock, you wanna hit a woman!" Heather glared at Rae, "Rae!" "What?!" Heather sighed again, "Just hug and make up." Rae shook her head quickly, "I ain't huggin that fucker!" Heather sighed heavily and looked at the ground as Brock wrapped his arms around her, "You don't care about her." Rae's eyes went wide, "I don't care about her?! You're the stupid fuck that abused her!" Brock shook his head, "That is in the past." "Who gives a shit if it's in the past?! You still fuckin did it!" Heather hugged Brock tightly, "Rae, can't you just stop with that attitude?" Rae put her hands on her hips, "What the fuck is wrong with my attitude?!" Heather shook her head, "Nothing. Come on Brock." Rae watched as they started to walk away, "Fine, run the fuck off! Just like when you left to be with him in the first place! Turn your back on the people who really love you, just to be with him!" Heather ignored her and got into Brock's car. Rae swallowed, realizing that she could lose her friend forever. She ran out in front of the car just as Brock was starting it, "Heather, wait!" Heather jumped out of the car and looked at Rae as if she had lost her mind, "What the fuck are you doing?!" Rae swallowed, "You can't go." She started crying, "Please, don't go ..." Heather hugged Rae and started to cry, "I'm sorry ..." Rae cut her off as she hugged her back, "No, chica, I'm sorry. I'm so fuckin stubborn." Heather nodded and smiled weakly, "Yeah, you are." Rae sighed and pulled back from her friend, "Chica, you can't just leave again. I need you here, you've been like another sister to me since I've known you!" Heather nodded, "I know, I'm sorry. I won't leave." Rae's eyes went wide in excitement, "Really?!" Heather nodded and laughed slightly as Brock got out of the car. Raechel sighed heavily and extended her hand as Brock approached. Brock and Rae shared a slight smile, and silent agreement then shook hands. Heather grinned widely as they shook hands and jumped into Brocks arms, squeezing him tightly. Rae crossed her arms over her chest and smiled slightly at the sight of one of her best friends, truly happy.
