Time for the truth
Ashley's bump was getting bigger everyday and as the baby grew so did her guilt. Every time the baby kicked and Randy touched her stomach it made her feel sick. Just thinking about what she'd done to him disgusted her. It was bad enough that she had cheated on him but the thought that this baby might not be his was more than she could handle.
It didn't help that Batista always seemed to be there, every time she turned around. He was always asking her about the baby, demanding that she get a DNA test as soon as the baby's born. She didn't think they'd even need a test. Batista and Randy didn't exactly look alike; Randy was light skinned with baby blue eyes and brown hair while Batista had black hair, brown eyes and olive skin so it'd probably be obvious who the father was once the baby was born.
She knew that she had to tell Randy, and she had to do it soon. Alyssa was starting to be fussier than usual, probably because she was picking up on what her mother was feeling. She couldn't wait anymore. She wasn't going to let her stupid mistake affect her children.
She asked Stephanie if her and Paul could take Alyssa for the weekend.
"Of course we can. We love having Alyssa around, she's really good with Ellie" Steph was kneeling on the floor changing her baby daughter, Eleanor
"Thanks Steph. Randy and I just need some time on our own to talk" she was trying to make it sound like it wasn't too serious but Steph wasn't convinced
"Ash, what's wrong?" Stephanie asked full of concern for her friend
"It's nothing" tears were starting to spill down her face. She couldn't hide it anymore, she had to tell someone.
"Steph, I've been so stupid" she cried as she poured her heart out to her friend.
Stephanie didn't say anything until Ashley had finished
"Oh Ash, what a mess" she said sympathetically as she put an arm around her friend
"I have to tell him Steph, now, before the baby comes. I don't want to hurt him but I cant deal with this anymore" she sobbed in Steph's arms.
The next day, after Paul had collected Alyssa, Ashley and Randy were finally alone.
"Randy, I need to talk to you about something" she said as she sat down
"What is it babe? There's nothing wrong with the baby is there?" he asked concerned as he took her hand
"No the baby's fine" she reassured him
"I need to talk to you about us. Do you remember a few months ago when we had that argument about Dave?" she couldn't look him in the eyes
"Yeah I remember, what about it?"
"I told you that I stayed in Steph's room that night, well I lied. I was with Dave that night" she was still looking at the floor. He didn't say anything at first; he just pulled his hand away from her.
"Did you sleep with him?" he couldn't believe he was asking his wife if she had slept with his best friend. She nodded silently. Then a horrible thought jumped into his mind
"The baby, is it his?" he was trying to fight off tears as he asked this. He already loved this baby so much.
"Maybe" she was crying uncontrollably now.
"Randy, I'm so sorry" she sobbed as she watched him pace back and forth
"SORRY, YOU'RE SORRY" he ran his hands through his hair
"Randy please don't be angry, I love you. I made one stupid mistake that's all" almost as soon as she said this she felt an intense, sharp pain in her stomach. This was stronger than anything she'd felt with Alyssa.
"Randy" she whimpered as she held her stomach in pain and fell to her knees.
All of the hurt and anger he felt was immediately forgotten as he saw her in so much pain. He rushed forwards and held her as he dialled his phone to get help.
"Randy, I'm so sorry. I love you" she said quietly as she fainted in his arms.
She woke up in a sterile white hospital room. Randy was sitting by her bedside.
"Randy?"
"Hey, you're awake. You had everyone scared for a while there" he was gently stroking her hand
"What happened? Is the baby ok?" she sat forward a little
"It's ok. He's fine; he just had a little trouble breathing at first that's all. The nurse said they'd bring him here as soon as you were both ready" he gently but firmly made her sit back.
"He? I've got a little boy?"
"Yeah, he's beautiful" Randy said it with a genuine smile on his face
"He weighs 8lbs exactly, has blue eyes and brown hair"
"Thank you for staying with me" she was close to tears as she looked straight into his blue eyes.
"I couldn't leave you Ash; my life would be nothing without you. I know that it isn't going to be easy, we've both done things were not proud of but seeing the little guy make his entrance into the world made me realise how much I love you. I'm not ready to throw all those feelings away so easily and I don't think you are either" he wiped the tears away from her face as he kissed her.
Just then the nurse appeared in the room, carrying a tiny bundle wrapped in a blue blanket.
"This little man has been waiting for his mummy to wake up" she said as she placed the baby boy in Ashley's arms. Ashley couldn't believe it when she looked at him, he looked exactly like Randy. He hand Randy's eyes and hair, he even had his nose and dimples. She knew Randy was his father, she could feel it.
"He's perfect Randy" she smiled at her new baby son
"Of course he's perfect, he's an Orton" Randy grinned
She knew that Batista would still want a DNA test but that didn't matter anymore, not nowthat she knew Randy was going to stand by her and the baby.
