That night, Danielle went out with her girlfriends, but she couldn't get her mind off of Randy. She didn't know if it was the hormones, or what, but she couldn't help but wonder if they really could make their troubled relationship work.
She pulled in the driveway that night at 12:30pm and she was exhausted. She couldn't help it, she confessed to her girlfriends that she was pregnant, but then begged them not to say anything to anyone yet because no one knew. Danielle held back the fact that everytime she brings up telling Randy's family or her family that Randy usually changes the subject, or says that it's too early.
She grabbed the cordless phone and ran a bath. She knew it was late, and that she had to be at the surgery center early, but she also knew that Randy needed to talk about something. And, she just had this sense of loneliness over her. She dialed the room, and a woman answered. Danielle couldn't believe it.
"Hello?" The woman repeated.
Danielle swallowed, "Is Randy there?"
"Yup, who can I say is calling?" She asked in a very happy voice.
"It's Danielle."
Dani could tell that the woman had tried to cover the phone because it was muffled but not totally silent.
"Hey." Randy said picking up the phone.
"Hi." Danielle answered shortly.
"Did you have fun with the girls?" He asked.
"It was ok. I'm home early if you can't tell." Danielle replied. "Are you having fun with the girls?"
Randy laughed, "Dani, that's just Stacy. Her and Trish are here with a few of the other guys. We're just sitting around watching movies.
"Ah, I see. So what did you want to talk about earlier?" She asked.
"Oh we can talk about it later." Randy said blowing it off.
Dani got mad. She was not going to let him blow the issue off like that. "No, Randy we're going to talk about it now. Was it the fact that I talked to Shelton for awhile?"
Randy sighed, "We can talk later."
"NO. I want to talk about it now." Dani started to say when he interrupted her.
"Look, we'll talk later. I'll see you tomorrow. Randy repeated and he hung up.
Dani started to re-dial his number when she hung up, "Fuck him." She said out loud and she got in the tub. She couldn't even get herself to relax. She got out, dried off and went straight to bed.
The next morning she got up, got dressed, her friend Roxy showed up to drive her to the hospital.
"You don't look to hot, what's wrong?" Roxy asked as Dani slammed the apartment door shut and locked it.
"Randy's being an asshole, and fighting while you're 4 states away from each other is just completely worthless." Dani said as she walked with Roxy out to the car.
Roxy shook her head. She loved Randy, but there were times where he just didn't think. "Maybe it's time to…" She started to say but Dani interrupted.
"Don't even say it, I'm pregnant with our child right now, I'm not going to move back in with Janelle." Dani said rolling her window down.
"Or me. Now that my roommate is gone, you're more than welcome to move in with me." Roxy said giving her hand a squeeze.
They arrived at the surgical center and Roxy looked at Dani, "Are you sure you're going to be ok being here alone?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Randy will be here this afternoon, so you have nothing to worry about." Dani said climbing out of the car.
"Ok, but if you get scared, call me!"
Dani laughed and walked inside.
Meanwhile…
Randy woke up lying next to Stacy. They had had an awful lot to drink the night before. And after Randy got off the phone with Dani, it just encouraged him to drink even more. They played quarters at 2:00am and he couldn't remember when he went to bed.
He looked under the covers, and he was naked and she was just in her bra and panties. He put his head in hands. "Oh shit." He mumbled as he got up to take a shower.
He stumbled into the bathroom not noticing that Trish was taking a shower. He was used to rooming with guys, so he just started peeing.
Trish turned off the water and opened the curtain. They looked at each other and both shrieked. She quickly pulled the curtain shut. "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you come in."
"I forgot you were here, I'm sorry." Randy said finishing. He quickly washed his hands and went back out to the living room. There wasn't anyone else there, just Trish, Stacy and Randy. Randy was trying to remember if there was a threesome last night.
Randy looked at his watch, he had forty minutes to get to the airport to make his flight. "Shit" he hissed as he quickly grabbed some clothes and began to get dressed. He knew he had been such an asshole lately, he had to make it up to her somehow. This however, was not how.
He looked over at Stacy who was sleeping so peacefully. He rolled his eyes. He didn't want to ask Trish what exactly happened because he wasn't sure if he was ready to know. "If I don't know, then Dani not knowing wouldn't be so bad" Randy said trying to assure himself.
"Trish, I've gotta run or I'm going to miss my plane. Can you make sure she's ok?" Randy said heading towards the door.
"Yeah, I'll take care of her. See ya this weekend." Trish said waving.
He waved, grabbed his hat and headed out the door. He got in his car and flew to the airport.
As he pulled into a parking spot at the airport, his phone rang. "Hello?" He said in a questioning tone. He didn't recognize the phone number.
"Is this a Mr. Randy Orton?" The woman asked.
"Yes, and who is this?" He asked sternly. He was going to be late for his flight.
"This is Dr. Johansen's assistant. I'm calling regarding a Danielle Otten."
"Is she out of surgery?" Randy asked. He was thankful he only had a carry-on. He stood in line to board the plane.
"Sir, there were some complications with her surgery." The woman started to say.
"Complications? What do you mean complications? This was supposed to have been a simple surgery." Randy raged.
"Well, during the surgery Danielle had a seizure. When she seized, the doctor was performing the excision, so there was some more blood loss than we had anticipated." The assistant was explaining when the boarding person interrupted Randy.
"Excuse me sir, we have to go."
Randy turned to her, "LOOK, My girlfriend is in a hospital bed, and right now I'm finding about what complications just happened, so if you don't mind, give me a minute."
The woman looked startled, then she turned around and walked back to her podium.
"So, is she ok?" Randy asked.
"Well, she's really weak, and with her being pregnant, massive blood loss can harm the baby." The assistant started to explain.
Randy's knees went weak, he started to sweat, "Keep her healthy, keep her safe. I'm on my way." And he hung up. He slowly walked on the plane. He got to his seat and grabbed the plane on the phone and called his mom who was a nurse at a different hospital.
"Hello?" His mom's friendly voice answered.
"Mom, I need to talk to you." Randy said trying not to lose it.
"Randy, are you ok? What's wrong?" His mom Elaine asked concerned.
"It's Dani. She had a lump in her breast, and they were removing the lump today but there were complications." Randy spit out. "She had a seizure and basically the doctor cut something he wasn't supposed to and she lost a lot of blood."
"Is she ok now?" Elaine asked.
"I don't know, I think so. They said she was really weak." Randy started to explain.
"Then I'm sure she'll be fine. They'll probably keep her overnight for observation." Elaine started to explain.
"Mom, she's pregnant. They don't know how it'll affect the baby. I've been such an asshole to her about this baby thing, and now she might lose it, and I feel like it's all my fault." Randy confessed. "I don't want to lose them."
"Randy, are you telling me the truth? This isn't a joke is it?" Elaine asked. She just wanted to make sure.
"Yeah, it's true. I just haven't been able to admit it to myself, and I've been really awful and I'm scared. I can't lose them, I just can't." He said finally breaking down.
"Randy, calm down. Tell me where she is, and I'll go be with her till you get there." Elaine said calmly.
Randy told her everything and they hung up. He pulled out the picture of Dani he kept in his fanny pack, "princess please be ok." He closed his eyes, "Just keep them safe. I'll make everything up to her, no more screwing around, no more being a jerk, just a dedicated boyfriend and father. Please, please keep them safe."
What's going to happen to Danielle and the baby? Will this finally wake Randy up? Has he realized the error of his ways? What's going to happen now that his mom knows about the baby? Please read and review! Thanks!
