4 months had passed since Ashley and Randy talked alone together he was pulling away and if she hadn't had other things on her mind then she would have made him tell her what was wrong. Ashley was currently complaining to John about Trish having a C-section.
"Ash both her babies are breech there is no way around her having a C-section" John stated for about the 50th time.
"It's the cowards way out" she replied.
John just shook his head there was no arguing with her she was 9 months pregnant so he just gave up.
"I think I'm going to take Talon outside and play with him in the pool" he said
"Ok but make sure you put sun screen on him and make sure his floatie things have enough air in them" she told him.
"Will you just relax I know how to take my son swimming" he said
Ashley decided to take a short drive over to Trish and Randy's house. Trish had made Randy sell their houses and buy one close to Ashley and John's so that they could chill out and relax while the guys were on the road.
"Trisha where are you" Ashley called as she walked into the house.
"In the kitchen" Trish answered.
"Hey whatcha doin?" Ashley asked.
"Making some pasta and sauce" Trish replied.
Ashley sighed as she had a seat.
"What's the matter with you?" Trish asked.
"I've know you for a long time almost as long as Amy and I know when something is wrong" Trish said with her hands on her hips.
"It's my life everything seems so complicated right now" Ashley said.
"Sweetie this really isn't the time to be having an identity crisis" Trish said.
"Thanks Trish I'm glad my emotions are so important to you" Ashley said rolling her eyes.
"What do you want me to say you are kicking ass in law school, you have a beautiful son and a loving fiancée, plus you have a huge family that probably would kill for you if you asked them to" Trish said.
"I guess you are right you know I never really felt I had a family till Matt and Jeff started working for the WWE now I have so many aunts and uncles and brothers etc..." Ashley said.
"I feel ya" Trish said with a laugh.
"You know I got an invitation to Katrina and Bam's wedding" Ashley said off handedly
"What are you going to do about it?" Trish asked not bothering to hide her interest.
"What can I do Katrina is like my sister so I have to go but I am still so pissed off at Bam it ain't funny" Ashley replied.
"Well you'll figure everything out because you are the kind of person who works best with pressure" Trish said stirring the pasta sauce.
"But there is only so much I can take I'm barely 20 years old" Ashley said
"You've accomplished more in one year than most people go through in a year" Trish said.
Ashley knew she was right her life had been incredibly hard over the past year but she wouldn't have changed anything about this year for anything.
"Man I've been hanging around with John for like 2 years it seems like just yesterday" Ashley said.
"Yeah but you've only been with him for like a year" Trish pointed out.
"Even that seems like so long time but John and I have the rest of our lives to be together so I'm not too worried" Ashley said.
"People these days don't seem to be taking marriage vows to seriously" Trish said.
"Most don't but some people do you just have to believe in it and if you love your partner as much as you say you do then there isn't a problem" Ashley said.
"Seriously how can you be so hopeful?" Trish asked.
"Scott's parents were married for almost 50 years... my 'papa' died when I was 14 or 15 I don't really remember but it would have been 50 if he had lived just 3 more years" Ashley replied blinking back tears. Nobody truly knew how badly her 'grandfather's' death had effected her.
"Were you close with him?" Trish asked.
"Yes and no we never really talked and to be truthful I was always a little afraid of him but we lived in the same house so he was always there" Ashley said.
"How did he die?" Trish asked
"He had cancer I remember he found out and the next thing we knew he was gone, I was numb for weeks" she replied.
"Anyways getting away from a subject that will make both you and me cry I can't wait for next week when I can finally get these two out of me" Trish said.
"I know how you feel Christian has been so active lately" Ashley said. "when is Randy coming home?".
"He'll be here the day before I have my C-section" Trish replied.
"I still think that is the cowards way out"Ashley said.
"Are you kidding I'm going to be in more pain than you will they are cutting open my stomach and taking my organs out not to mention the scarring" Trish said.
"Ok , ok you win" Ashley said.
Just then Trish doubled over in pain.
"Trisha what's the matter?" Ashley asked rushing over to her fallen friend
"I don't know I think there is something wrong with the babies" Trish said. She was holding her stomach and looked to be in severe pain.
"Don't worry come on were taking you to the hospital" Ashley said helping Trish stand.
"What about Randy and John?" Trish asked.
"We'll call them from the car on the way" Ashley replied.
Ashley got Trish into the car and got in herself. She was really nervous because she really didn't want to have to deliver these babies in her car.
"Ashley this really hurt" Trish cried.
"It's going to be ok we are going to get to the hospital and they are going to give you something to stop the labor" Ashley told her.
Ashley pulled out her cellphone from the clip on her belt and with shaking hands she called John. They were sitting in traffic on their way to the hospital.
"Hello" John said
"Johnny, Trish is having pains so I'm trying to get to the hospital and we are sitting in traffic and I can't get a hold of Randy" Ashley said really fast.
"Baby calm down and say what you just said slower" John said.
Ashley repeated to John the situation. He could tell how worried Ashley sounded and knew that this couldn't be good for Ashley or Trish.
"Ok just try to remain calm both of you and I'll meet you at the hospital" John told her.
Ashley hung up the phone and looked over at Trish terror shone through her eyes.
"Everything will be fine" Ashley said trying to convince Trish and herself.
"What if Randy doesn't get here in time?" Trish asked.
"You still have John and me we would go into the room with you" Ashley replied.
"You would?" Trish asked
"Yeah you and Randy are family and I know you would do the same thing if it were me" Ashley said.
"What is taking so long?" Trish asked
"Looks like an accident" Ashley said "damn this is why I hate driving through Boston"
"Where is the closest hospital?" Trish asked
"That would be Melrose- Wakefield and that is where we are trying to get you too"Ashley said.
They were moving very little now and Ashley finally came upon a police officer so she decided to ask for help.
"Excuse me sir my friend is having contractions and I'm trying to get her to the hospital she needs to have an emergency C-section" Ashley told the officer.
"Ok I'll see what I can do just hang on and be calm" he replied.
"How the hell can I be calm?" Trish yelled.
"Trish I know yelling at the cop would make you feel better it would make me just as happy but he is trying his best" Ashley said.
Ashley's cellphone started to ring again and Ashley asked Trish to answer it.
"Sure let's have the lady who could be in labor answer the damn phone" Trish grumbled as she answered the phone.
"Hello" she said
"Trish I just got a hold of Randy he is in England right now but he is hopping on a plane right now and will be there a soon as he can" John told her.
"Ok thanks John" Trish replied glad to know that her husband was on his way.
"No problem well I'll see you soon" he said hanging up.
"What did John want?" Ashley asked.
"He just called to tell us Randy is on his way here" Trish replied.
The officer came back over and told Ashley to follow him in his car. She did and they made it to Melrose-Wakefield in about 10 minutes. The officer got Trish a wheelchair and told both Ashley and Trish good luck before he left. Ashley took Trish into the emergency room where she was taken right away to a room to be checked out. Ashley remained in the waiting room filling out forms. She saw John enter the ER and called out his name.
"How's Trish?" he asked.
"They took her to a room and haven't been back down to fill me in on anything" she replied.
"It'll be ok baby" John said.
"I'm so scared what if something happens" Ashley asked as she started to cry. John pulled her into his arms and rubbed her back.
"Nothing will happen" he said
The doctor who took Trish upstairs to her room came back.
"Ashley?" he asked softly.
"Yeah that's me" she replied wiping her eyes.
"Your friend has been taken straight to the operating room it seems that one of her babies is in distress she asked for you" the doctor said.
"Is she and the babies going to be ok?" John asked.
"Yes if she had gotten here any later both Trish and her babies might have been dead" the doctor said.
Ashley and John agreed she would go with Trish and he would wait for Randy. Ashley put the scrubs on and met up with Trish on her way to the OR.
"Ash I'm so scared" Trish said
"Don't worry everything is going to be fine I'm here and John is downstairs waiting for Randy" Ashley told her.
"Thank you for being with me" Trish said.
"No problem" Ashley said. "now let's go get those babies"
"Ok Trish were going to start now you are going to be awake the whole time but we have given you very powerful pain killers so you shouldn't feel any pain just a little pressure" Dr. Andrews told her.
"Ok" Trish said
"Also a piece of advice Ashley don't look over the little cloth thing right here" the doctor told her.
"Got ya" Ashley said.
They started the operation and of course Ashley looked over the thing and almost passed out but she regained her composure just as the first baby was taken out.
"Holy shit Trish you should see this" she said.
"Ok baby A is out where going in for the other one now" the doctor said.
Two minutes later the other baby was out and both were crying. Ashley went over to look at them. Then they asked her if she wanted to cut the cords and she did. She figured she might as well seeing as Randy wasn't here.
"What are their names?" a nurse asked Trish.
"Tyler Randal Orton and Ryan Ashley Orton" she replied.
"Ok both good names" the nurse said walking away to fill out the birth certificates.
Ashley brought both babies over for Trish to see.
"They both look like Randy" Trish said
"Yeah lucky you both are going to be heart breakers" Ashley said "you named Ryan after me thank you"
"Were family right then it's no big deal" Trish said.
"Yes it is"
"I wish Randy was here" Trish said.
"He is" Randy said from the doorway.
"Wow man that was fast" Ashley said.
"Apparently not fast enough" Randy said he sounded a little disappointed.
"Well here you go daddy I think you need a little alone time" Ashley said handing both babies to Randy before leaving.
Ashley found John in the waiting room he was pacing a little.
"Hey" she said.
"So?" John asked.
"Both boys are healthy and upstairs with their parents" Ashley said.
"I'm so proud of you" John said sitting next to her.
"Why I helped a friend out nothing big?" she asked.
"You were with Trish during probably the most scary time of her life" John said.
"I was just happy to help, oh my god that was the most amazing think I have ever seen though" Ashley said.
"Just think we get to experience that soon" John said placing his hand on her belly.
"Not too soon because I don't want the pain" Ashley said
"Wimp" John said.
"Yeah whatever you are just lucky you don't have to go through it" Ashley said
"But I also don't know what it is like to have a life growing inside of me so I think it is an even trade" John said.
"Whatever let's go see if they put our new nephews into the nursery yet" Ashley said taking John hand.
