Legend Speaking: You know this is pointless, and I just like to pretend I'm a legend. Now, read my story, biatches.

Chapter 19!

The ride home for Lidia and Stacey was anything but silent. The two best friends were pregnant, and from the looks of it, (although no offical word), they were due around the same time, making the pregnancy even more exciting.

"I hope it's a boy," Stacey gushed as she drove. "I always wanted a boy. Robert Dean the name would be. But if it were a girl...I haven't really thought of what to name it..."

"Stace, it's been twenty mintues since you found out. Take it easy, pregnancy is a breeze. Besides, don't you have a certin Legend Killer to worry about?" Stacey stopped at the stop light quickly, a look of forgetfulness across her face.

"I totally forgot. Oh my God, when should I tell him?"

"Christmas. Write it on a piece of paper and wrap it up in a box. That's what I did with John when I found out I was going to have Madison," Lidia suggested as she pointed to a McDonald's drive thru.

"No. No McDonalds. I refuse to be one of those obessed pregnant women," Stacey defended herself as she drove by the fast food resturant. "Besides, you have to go home. John has a surprise for you." Lidia eyes lit up and she laid a hand on her stomach, rubbing it gently.

"Do you think he's going to ask tonight?" she asked, her eyes full of hope.

"Ask what? For another kid? Cause you sure got that covered."

"No dumbass. Do you think he's going to ask if...I want to marry him?" The blonde shrugged her shoulders as they pulled into the driveway of the Orton Siblings home.

Gasping at the sight as she walked into the kitchen, Lidia threw her arms around John's neck once she saw him, planting a kiss on his cheek. "This looks amazing," she complimented as she took a whiff of the spagetti. "I'm so hungry, oh baby, thank you."

"I was so happy when you and Randy went shopping today so I could get all of this planned out. The roses are fresh, I made the sauce from scratch..."

"Mommy!" Madison shreeked as she entered the kitchen, wearing a white dress with a pink ribbon around the wasit. It flew down to her knees, poofing out with a sheer material underneth. She had her good black shoes on, plus a matching pink ribbon in her curly hair to hold back her brown ringletts. "Daddy said I had to look pretty. Auntie Jackie did my hair."

"It looks lovely Maddy, did you thank her?"

"Uh, yeah," the four year old told her Mom with a roll of the eyes. John wrapped a secure arm around Lidia's waist, pulling her in for a kiss.

"I love you," he breathed against her lips. Lidia smiled at him and gave him another kiss.

Once they sat down, the three of them sat in silence, enjoying the meal that was sitting in front of them.

Madison kept giggiling during the meal, bringing a smile to her parents face.

"Daddy, when are you going to ask Mommy?" Madison questioned as Lidia wiped spagetti sauce off of her face. Arching an eyebrow at John, Lidia repeated the question, "yea John, when are you going to ask Mommy?"

"Lid, I've put a lot of thought into this," John began. "Now that it's the three of us again, and Christmas is around the corner, I've finally decided..." He stood up and reached to his back pocket, making Lidia recieve butterflies in her stomach. 'This is it,' she thought to herself as she let a tear fall from her eye.

Standing behind Lidia, John wrapped his arms around her, and held the piece of paper in front of her face.

Opening her eyes, Lidia's smile turned to a frown.

"It's a picture," she told him bluntly, "of a puppy."

"I know, isn't it cute? I thought we could get one during the Christmas holidays." Another tear escaped Lidia's eye, and landed directly on her plate.

"You made this huge meal, and had Madison get all dressed up, to ask if we could get a dog?" She asked, trying to keep her voice calm.

"Well, yea honey. What did you think I was going to ask?" Slapping John across the face, Lidia stormed out of the room and up the stairs to her bedroom, slamming the door in process.

Randy sent Stacey a worried glance as they sat down in the basement, watching a movie together. His hand was placed gently on Stacey's stomach, his other arm streached behind the couch. When the two of them heard a well-known Lidia Orton scream, it could only mean that the dinner didn't go as well as expected.

Stacey ran a finger through her blonde locks as she let out a sigh, look at Randy as she did so. "I'll go talk to her," she volunteered. "This looks like a girl talk." Randy gave her a quick kiss on the lips and let his girlfriend leave, admiring her steps as she walked. He patted his side pocket once she left the room, making sure that the engagment ring was still there. The smile disappered once he remembered how much he paid for it with Lidia's credit card.

He was her bitch for the rest of his life.

Meanwhile...

Lidia laid face down on the pillows that surrounded her bed, crying her eyes out. Her Led Zeppelin CD was playing as loud as it could, just like she used to do when she was a teenager.

The music filled the room so loudly that Stacey didn't even bother knocking. She allowed herself in and sat down next to Lidia, running her nails up and down her back soothingly.

Stacey reached over and turned down the music, hoping she'd be able to talk to Lidia, even though she is one of the most stubborn people she's ever met.

"Lid, honey?" Stacey started, not wanting to startle the younger Orton, "it couldn't have been that bad..."

"A dog! He did all that, to see if I wanted a dog? What the hell was he thinking?" The blonde shrugged her shoulders, hating how useless she seemed right now. "He didn't even notice my hair," Lidia pouted.

She sat up and leaned on Stacey's shoulder, still letting her tears fall freely, still hating what John did.

"He thought it would be a good idea. I thought it was a good idea too...until I found out you were pregnant..."

"Everything is a good idea until pregnancy," Lidia pointed out. She stood up and walked over to a bench that sat at the side of the room that held extra blankets and pillows. Grabbing two blankets and a pillow, she walked over to her bedroom door, where she could hear John calling her name from the main entrance.

"Liddy!" he called out with Randy standing beside him, "are you OK?" She stood on the top floor that overlooked the bottom, clearly seeing John standing there, a look of confusion still sprawled over his face. Shaking her head, she threw the blankets and pillow to the bottom, where it landed before his feet.

"Damn," he mumbled to himself. "Looks like I'm on the couch tonight."

"Fucking right you're on the couch!" Lidia yelled at him as she came back down the stairs with her car keys in her hand. "I'm going to the studio, Pat, Jack and Russ are already there, I'll be home late. See you later," she said to Randy.

Before leaving, she gave John one last look, then gave him the finger.

It was going to be a long time before he was allowed back in the bedroom.

Legend Speaking: Sorry about the short chapters lately, I don't even know why they're so short....I guess I'm just trying to get this story over with. Who knows, just read and review.
