Chapter 16: Wrestlemania 21

April 2005

Wrestlemania 21 was that night and Maddie and I decided to order it. We allowed Ashley to watch it after we made her promise to take it easy and no yelling obscenities at the TV.

"So Ash you excited about you baby shower?" I asked.

"I really don't see why we need to have a baby shower because we have everything we really need" Ashley said.

"Let the grandmothers have their fun" I said.

"Now that you know that he's a boy what's his name?" Maddie asked.

"I have a name all picked out but I'm not telling anyone until after he is born" Ashley said.

"Why can't we know now?" Maddie asked.

"It's bad luck" Ashley said "besides I don't want you to know, now shut up so I can watch the pay per view"

The PPV began and nothing too eventful happened.

"Maddie does Randy win his match?" I asked.

"No, he needs shoulder surgery so he looses tonight and then tomorrow Batista is gonna throw him into the metal part of the turn buckle, therefore the WWE can explain where he is for 4 or 5 months"

"Wait a minute is that why you and Randy have moved in for the time being?" Ashley asked "because here I thought you were here for your nephew"

"We're killing two birds with one stone" Maddie said. "besides Randy will be on bed rest for a week so now you have someone to complain with"

John's match was up next and Maddie and I tried our hardest to get Ashley to leave the room but it was no use she wanted to stay. She hadn't watched wrestling in months since I had caught her watching it. After we gave up trying to move her we tried to keep her busy with conversation.

"Ash you need anything?" I asked.

"Yeah for you to shut up" she replied.

As you may know John won his match and became the WWE Champion. Ashley's expression was unreadable, she hadn't said anything since the beginning of the match. For once in my life I had no idea what my sister was thinking and that scared me.

"Well I'm going to bed" Ashley said.

I got up to help her back into her room but she pushed me away.

"I can handle it" she said.

After Ashley had gone back to her room Maddie and I sat watching the rest of the PPV.

"You know what we should go bowling after Ashley has the baby" Maddie remarked.

"Like old times before everything got so messed up" I said.

"I talked to John the other day" Maddie said. "I called Randy's cell phone and he picked up, I have never wanted to kill anyone more"

"Did he know it was you?" I asked.

"Luckily for me no" she replied.

"He isn't worth it" I said.

"I know" Maddie said "I know"
