Thanks to MutantXHottie and Psychobunny410 for the reviews. I was rushing the last chapter and this chapter to try and have them out before I leave for the night. It didn't work yesterday, so I'm so sorry. Thanks for being so patient! Please read and review!
Over the course of the next 2 weeks, Randy and Danielle barely seen let alone speak to each other.
For Randy, they had a big pay-per-view coming up, so since Randy was in one of the main events, he had tons of personal appearances to do. By the time he got back to the hotel, he was exhausted. Plus, he still hadn't confessed to anyone that Danielle was pregnant. He didn't know what to say about it, and he wasn't sure how to tell the family. He knew that he loved Danielle, he loved her more than anything.
For Danielle, she had just acquired a couple of new accounts at the same time as she was fighting against the company's biggest rival for a few others, so she was working a lot of overtime. The first trimester tiredness kicked in, and she was always sleepy. And because of all the working she was doing and all of the appearances Randy was doing, she hadn't even had a chance to schedule the lumpectomy.
Danielle got home Monday night just in time to catch Raw. She hadn't been home to watch it much, so she always would Tivo it and then watch it with Randy when he came home. She changed into some boxer shorts and a tank-top and pulled her hair into a ponytail, ordered some food to be delivered and plopped down on the couch.
She was dozing on and off a bit throughout the show when they announced that they were going to show exclusive footage from some of the appearances the wrestlers had been doing. That caught her interest.
They showed the fans lined around the store and then showed how the wrestlers interacted with some of the fans. They showed Triple H comparing biceps with some little kids and getting his picture taken. They showed Hurricane doing poses with some teenage girls and boys, then they showed Randy surrounded with women. Danielle laughed, she knew that he had always been one to "like the ladies" but she now knew that after the incident, he would no longer do anything to jeopardize their relationship. But then they showed him signing a woman's breast, another woman's thigh, he was kissing the girls on the cheek, and they interviewed him afterwards, and he laughed and said, "Well you know, I do love the ladies and let me tell you, loving them is what I do best."
Danielle turned the tv off, she couldn't believe it. She knew that his character had a lot to do with it, but it still disgusted her. Maybe it was her hormones, but she knew what was coming. And sure enough she was right, all she did was answer the phone and have to try and laugh it off as an "act" and as "part of his character" and "of course she knew they were going to have him do that." But by the time she knew he would be available, she was in tears.
Randy was lying in bed watching a movie when there was a knock at the door. He got up and answered it and there was Ric Flair, Hunter (Paul) and Dave. He smiled, "Evening boys."
"Tonight's show went great! Evolution is definitely dominating. Let's go and celebrate! Whoo!" Ric said excitedly.
"I'd love to boys, but I'm staying in tonight. I have gotten back the …" Randy started to say when Paul interrupted him.
"Oh come on, let's just go have a few. I'm not saying take anyone home, I'm just saying come have a few drinks." Paul encouraged.
As Randy was talking to the guys, his phone rang. He excused himself and picked it up. The caller id said Danielle. He closed his eyes, he wasn't sure if she watched Raw or not, but if she did, this was going to be a long phone call. "Guys, I gotta take this. I'll tell you what, when I get off the phone, I'll meet you at the bar here at the hotel." Randy said giving in so he could get them out of his room. He turned on his phone, "Hang on babe." And he set it down on the bed.
"Alright, fine. See ya downstairs." Dave said as the guys left.
Randy sat down on the bed, "Hi princess."
"Hi princess, hi princess?" She repeated with a very mad tone. "Do you want to know what I've done all night?"
Randy closed his eyes, he hated when she was pissed off. "Slow down, let's talk about this."
"Talk about this? Talk about what, should we talk about the fact that you were signing anything on a woman's body? Talk about the fact that all I've done tonight is take phone calls talking about your segment?" Dani said half-hysterical.
"Dani calm down. My job is to give the fans what they want. You've known this, why is this such a problem now?" Randy said sternly.
"Why is it such a problem?" Dani practically shrieked. "Maybe it has something to do with the fact that all I can do is wonder if that woman is going to wind up at the same bar you do after you're done with your show? Do you know what it's like to be in my shoes?"
"Dani, wait." Randy started to say but Dani wasn't stopping.
"God Randy, sometimes I feel like all I am is the sick, pregnant girlfriend back home who you don't have to worry about until the weekends." Dani said crying.
"Danielle, you know damn well that you are way more to me than just that." Randy said upset. "Look, I know it looked bad, but nothing happened. I told you, it's just you and me now. I don't want anyone else but you."
There was a pause. "Look, I'm sorry. It's just…it's just that…" Dani said tearfully, "I had a bad day at work, all I do is puke, I get home after I finally start to feel better. Then I get to watch that without any warning and then I was badgered by phone calls all night long, it was just a bit much to handle."
Randy sighed, he knew that it had to be tough on her. "Baby, I'm sorry that I didn't call to warn you. But believe me, nothing happened. I signed some autographs, kissed a few cheeks, yeah I get phone numbers and hugs and whatnot, but the numbers are thrown away, and the fans walk away happy."
Dani sniffled, "I'm sorry Randy. My hormones have been crazy. I hope that you don't mind, but I'm scheduling my pre-op for tomorrow, and then I'll have the surgery on Wednesday, which is when you come home. I'll go in right away in the morning, and then I was thinking that you could just come to the hospital when you land."
"That sounds good." Randy said gently. "Look, I'm going to let you go. You get some rest, and I'll talk to you tomorrow ok?"
Dani nodded, "Yeah, ok. I love you."
"Love you too princess." And he hung up. He sighed and got dressed. "I'm going to the bar after all that." Randy said out loud. And he headed down to have a few with the boys.
Danielle sat there stunned. When she brought up that she had been so sick, he didn't say anything. When she brought up that her hormones were racing, he didn't say anything. When they hung up, he still didn't say anything. "Why doesn't he acknowledge that I'm pregnant?" She practically screamed to herself.
Randy got down to the bar and ordered a Captain Coke. Ric smiled at him, "Woman problems?"
"Yeah, I didn't warn her about the breast signing, and then a bunch of people called and gave her a hard time about it so she got all flustered." Randy said taking a very long drink. "So I had to calm her down."
Ric patted him on the back. "We all go through it from time to time. They get used to it after awhile."
The two men walked over to the group of wrestlers. That night, they just had a few drinks and then they retired back to their hotel rooms.
The next morning, Danielle went in for her pre-op. The doctor advised her that she would need to be at the surgical center at 7:00am and her surgery would be at 8:00am. Her discharge would depend on how she recovered.
For Randy, he had decided to travel with Shelton. They hit the road and within minutes, Randy was asleep. Shelton knew that he had stayed out for a little while, but instead of waking him up, he decided to be nice and let him sleep.
Shelton had the radio up, but he heard Randy's phone ringing. He looked and seen that it was Danielle. He smirked. Randy and him had known each other for a few years, and within that time, he had gotten to know Danielle pretty well. He picked up the phone, "Hey princess, what's shaking?" He laughed because princess is what Randy always called her.
"Hi! What are you up to?" Dani said happily.
"Just driving. Your man is snoring, so I was just cruisin' and listenin' to some tunes." Shelton replied. "And you?"
"I just left the doctor's office. I scheduled the surgery and I was calling to let Randy know where to go." She replied.
"What surgery? Are you ok?" Shelton asked concerned.
"Didn't Randy tell you?" She asked. It was unlike Randy to keep anything from Shelton. Shelton was Randy's closest friend on Raw that she knew of.
"No he didn't tell me, what's going on?"
"Well, I don't want you to get uncomfortable, but I went in for my physical, and they found a lump in my breast. So they did a biopsy, and it wasn't cancerous, but there were pre-cancerous cells, so they're going to remove the lump tomorrow. They just want to do it as soon as possible to minimize the risk to the baby." Danielle explained.
"BABY? What baby?" Shelton exclaimed.
Dani's eyes grew wide, "He didn't tell you that either? I'm pregnant."
"WOW, you've got a lot going on right now. Congrats on the baby." Shelton replied. He couldn't believe that Randy hadn't told him any of this.
"Well, I'm going to run. Thanks Shelton, just tell Randy to call me. Talk to ya later." Dani said.
"Alright later." Shelton said hanging up.
He leaned over and slugged Randy, "Dude, wake up."
Randy opened his eyes and stretched, "What's up. Are we there yet?"
"No, is there something you're not telling me?" Shelton said with a smile.
"Not that I know of, like what?" Randy replied.
"Gee, I don't know…maybe that Dani's pregnant and that she's having surgery tomorrow?"
Randy's eyes opened wide, "How did you know about all that?"
"Because I just hung up with her. She called you but you were snoring, so I talked to her for a little bit."
Randy rubbed his eyes, "I don't know, I guess I just haven't made a big deal out of it."
"Randy, the woman is having your child. You are going to be a daddy for the rest of your life." Shelton started to say, but Randy interrupted him.
"Dude, I'm really not ready to get into this with you right now. No baby talk. No breast lump talk. Ok?"
Shelton was surprised, "Alright dude, no problem. But give her a call."
"I will in a little bit. Let's get some lunch." Randy replied.
Meanwhile, Danielle was on her way to a meeting when her phone rang. She looked and it was Randy. "Hello."
"Hey, what's going on?" He said. He was upset that she told Shelton without consulting him first.
"Ok, I'm going under at 8:00am tomorrow. So, when you fly in, you could come straight to the surgical center and I'll be there. They said I shouldn't have to stay overnight, so I'll be sore, but fine to go tomorrow evening." Danielle replied.
"What else is going on?" He asked.
"Well, let's see. I haven't been able to keep a meal down me yet today, but right now I'm driving and I'm not too nauseous, so I'm pretty excited." Dani said with a smile.
"What time are you off work tonight?" Randy asked.
"Well, my meeting is done at 4:00pm, and I'm taking off because I'm going out tonight with some of the girls. Why?"
"Because we need to talk." He said trying not to sound stern.
"Is everything ok?" She asked.
"Kind of, we'll talk later." He answered shortly.
"Ok, well I love you."
"Love you too."
Then there was silence and a dial tone.
What does Randy need to talk to Danielle about? What is Randy's deal? I'm sorry for the delay. New chapter tomorrow, I'm on a roll! Please read and review!
