Chapter Nine

Randy walked into the arena and made his way to his shared locker room. He hadn't seen or heard from anyone, meaning Jessica, her mom or Dave for a week. He had decided to stick around just in case Jessica changed her mind, but after 2 whole days he gave up and went home.

He entered the locker room and saw Dave, Eddie and Chavo sitting around. He nodded at them as he placed his bag down and sat down on a spare chair. Dave and Eddie looked at each other and frowned. They then both looked at Chavo. He got the message and nodded, stood up and left the locker room leaving Eddie and Dave alone with Randy.

"What happened man?" Dave asked.

Randy shrugged.

"She listened. Told me stuff. End of story."

"End of story? What the hell happened? I thought it was a sure thing. She can't be that stubborn."

"Well, she is. She did give me this though." Randy pulled out the sonogram picture of the baby and handed it to Dave.

"That's the closest I'll ever be to seeing my baby. It's my own fault I fucked up."

Eddie spoke up now.

"Randy, listen to me. Jessica she's stubborn. I see that in her. But if there is one thing I know she can't say no to it's me. I'll make sure she understands you're sorry. I'll make sure she comes around ok?"

Randy nodded. "Thanks man."

"No problem vato. Jessica knows she can't mess with me." Eddie smiled. "Let me see the picture Dave."

Dave handed the sonogram to Eddie.

"I'll see what I can do for you as well Randy. I'm sorry my sister's being such a stubborn bitch about this."

"Thanks. I appreciate it."

Dave and Eddie nodded. Eddie handed the picture back to Randy and he put it back in his wallet. The show was about to start, so all three men went and got ready for their parts in the show.

After the show got done, and everyone was leaving Randy met up with Dave and Eddie again. Eddie had made a plan to try and get Jessica to come around and forgive Randy for his fuck up. Dave knew Eddie had a persuasive nature and hoped Jesse would fall for it. Randy didn't need this. They all went back to Randy's room.

"Ok, so here is what we do." Eddie started as they sat down. "We, try to get her to come back to Dave's first of all. I don't know how yet, but maybe Dave can think of something. Once she's back with us, I'll go and talk to her. She'll listen to me. Randy you need to show her you've changed. Try and be extra nice. Do things for her and all."

Randy nodded. "But what if she doesn't come back?"

"I'll make sure she does." Dave added. "I know just how to do it too."

Eddie smiled. "You just follow our lead Randy, everything will work out."

Randy nodded. Somehow, he believed the plan would work.

"Ok, so I'm gonna call my mom now. I'll see you tomorrow." Dave said getting up and leaving the room.

"I'll see you tomorrow too vato. I gotta call Vickie."

"Later man." Randy said watching Eddie leave.

Randy pulled out the picture and looked at it again. He kept doing that. Ever since Jesse had given it to him. His baby looked perfect. Although it was small, and not very clear he knew he loved it so much. He couldn't wait to become a father. He just hoped he'd have a proper chance at proving he could be a good one.
