Chapter 21: Even more lies

When Randy opened the door he was glad for a moment that Alexandria couldn't see what was going on.

There was Sid and Shawn facing each other and by the look on Shawn's face Randy thought that HBK wanted nothing more than to rip Eudy apart here and now. Chris and Marissa looked as if they had just been slapped in the face by somebody and Randy had the distinct idea that everything had to do with Sid Eudy's visit to the hospital.

"What the hell is going on here?" He asked, the anger apparent in his voice because he thought there was no need to get Alexi even more worked up like she already was. John stood a little aside and watched the whole scenario, ready to prevent any violent actions.

There was on answer to Randy's question at first and Randy crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Do I get an answer now or can I go back to Alexandria?" He questioned, trying to get someone to talk about what had happened here.

Sid Eudy had obviously recovered from Shawn's attack and had this smirk on his face again.

"I'm just here to visit Alexandria, since she's called me because she wanted to talk to me…" He explained.
Shawn laughed sarcastically. "As if… Alexandria doesn't even know you so why should she call you… you leave her out of this or I'll do the same thing to ya like I did some years ago in the ring… but this time for real…" He threatened and Marissa couldn't help the small smile on her face when she saw Shawn acting like a father already. He had already discovered his protective side when it came to Alexandria.

Sid just snorted.

"Empty threats… just like last time… and by the way… believe me I wouldn't be here if Alexandria hadn't called me and asked me to come… and even though it might be hard for you to believe it, I care about the girl after all I've caused her the last twenty years…" He said, trying to sound as sincere as he could.

Randy looked between Shawn and Eudy, having no real idea what to do or think now.

John however was, as always the one with the best idea.

He stepped in between Chris, Shawn and Sid, making sure that the three didn't attack each other and then he said: "You know your arguing out here is getting us nowhere. I suggest Randy goes back in and asks if Alexi has indeed called Sid… if she has, we should let him go in there…"
When he saw that Shawn and Marissa were about to protest he quickly added: "Together with Randy… and if she hasn't called him…" With that he turned to Eudy, "…I suggest you better go before Shawn and Chris throw you out of the hospital the hard way."

Marissa, Shawn, Chris, Sid and Randy fell silent for a minute and then they reluctantly nodded, seeing that arguing would really get them nowhere.

Randy wasn't keen on letting Eudy talk to Alexandria, but if she had called him it wouldn't help her if they sent Vicious away without letting him talk to her. If he was with Alexandria and Sid while they were talking he could've an eye on Sid and stop him from telling Alexi lies.

So he turned and went back into the room, where Alexandria was sitting on the bed, toying with a ring she had been wearing previously.

When she heard Randy closing the door behind him, she turned her head in his direction and asked: "So what's going on out there?"
"Well… Sid Eudy is out there and wants to see you but Shawn and Chris won't let him so we've decided to ask ya if ya called him or not and if ya wanna talk to him."
"Oh so he's already here? That's good… can you please bring him in here?" Alexandria questioned with a small smile on her face.

So she really called him… but why?

He decided not to ask but nodded slowly.

"I'll call him in… but Lexi, do you mind if I stay during your talk? Chris will have my head if I don't."

Alexandria smiled a little.

"Of course you can stay… I'm not going to have secrets from you… I mean that's what a relationship about… being honest with each other…" She said.

Randy couldn't help the smile on his face. It was the first time one of them had actually admitted that they were in a relationship but Randy couldn't help but realise that this was exactly what he had hoped they were: In a relationship.
"Okay… well then I'll get Sid now."

He walked back to the door and opened it. With an apologetic look at Shawn and Chris he nodded to Sid.

"Okay, you can come in and talk to her… she wants to see ya… but I'm gonna stay."

Vicious grumbled a little but when he saw John's, Chris's and Shawn's angry faces he knew he had no other choice and so he put a smile on his face and walked into the room.

Randy closed the door behind him and walked back to the bed, sitting down in a chair beside Alexandria, grabbing her hand and looking at Sid, waiting for him or for Alexandria to say something.

Sid looked at Alexandria.

"Hello Alexandria… so what do ya wanna talk about?" He questioned and sat down on another chair on the other side of Alexandria's bed.

Alexandria turned her head towards the direction of Sid's voice.

"I wanna know what happened twenty years ago when my mother and Shawn discovered that they were going to have me…" She said, her expression grim.

Sid swallowed a little and looked at Randy, wondering for a moment what the Legend Killer knew.

Oh hell… I just need to chose my words carefully and I can twist the story the way I want.

He put a fake sad smile on his face and looked at Alexandria.

"Are you sure you want to know it? I mean…. It may not be pleasant for ya to hear the whole truth." He asked, pretending to be concerned about Alexi's welfare.

He could see that Randy's grip tightened about the younger girls hand to give her moral support.

Then Vicious turned his attention to Alexandria again.

The girl looked a little nervous but she nodded bravely.

"Yeah I wanna know… I can't feel worse than I'm feeling right now… " She explained.

Sid nodded and started: "Well… actually… when your mother found out she was pregnant both your parents weren't too thrilled since your mother was still almost a kid herself and Shawn was just about to make it big in the wrestling business… and they had no idea if they were up to raising a child…." He stopped and looked at Alexandria and then at Randy to find out if the Legend Killer was beginning to suspect something.

Alexandria however urged him to go on, so he continued, still sounding like he was awfully sorry about everything that had happened twenty years ago.

"Well… and then I made a mistake that I'm terribly sorry for and I'd definitely change it if I could." He said, putting as much remorse in his voice as he could.

Yeah I made a mistake… I never made my move when the time was right…

In fact Sid was sorry about what had happened twenty years ago but not that Shawn and Marissa had split. He was sorry that he hadn't reached the aim he had wanted to reach when telling Shawn that Marissa didn't want to see him again and telling Marissa that Shawn didn't want her and the child.

"And what did you do?" Alexandria questioned.

"I started to interfere… I have to admit… I wanted Shawn to make it big in the wrestling business, because I could see that he had a great future… and I feared he couldn't realise it if he had a small child to take care of… so me and Marissa's father talked them into having an abortion…" He explained, once again casting a quick glance at Randy to prevent him from saying something wrong.

Before he could continue however there was a knock on the door, and the young doctor from earlier poked her head in.

"Hi there Alexi… I don't mean to disturb you but we need to prepare you for the surgery now." She said with a small smile on her face and a wary look towards Sid Eudy.

Alexi nodded. She was dying to know everything but she knew it was no use right now and she wanted to get over with the surgery as quick as possible to be able to finally see again and look Randy in the eye when she told him that she loved him.

So she nodded. "Of course… Martha… can you give me another minute and then I'm ready?" She said, adding the name after a short pause because for a moment she had forgotten how the young doctor was called.

Dr. Cormela nodded and guessed that the girl needed the time to say bye to Randy and her other visitor.

"I'll wait outside… and you call for me when you're ready… a few minutes don't matter… but don't take too long." Martha explained, leaving the room again.

Alexi heard the door close and then she turned her attention back to Sid.

"I'm sorry we can't finish this now, but could we perhaps talk again after I'm out of surgery and fit enough to talk? I don't want to see my mother and Shawn before I've finished talking to you."
"Of course we can finish it then… just call when you want to talk…" With that he gave the perplexed girl a little hug and said his goodbye before quickly leaving the room when he saw the angry look in Randy's eyes.

When the door had closed behind him, Randy turned his attention to Alexi again. He still held her hand, realising for a moment that he hadn't even known he'd done it because it just felt so natural.

There was a moment of silence before Alexandria spoke up.

"Randy… please… I know I've asked before and you've given me your promise but I just need to hear it again. Will you be with me when I wake up?"
The young Orton squeezed the girl's hand and said: "Of course I will be with you as I promised."

The smile on the girls face made Randy smile himself too.

"Thanks a lot… and please will you keep my parents away from me…" Alexandria asked again.

Randy winced a little and was torn between two thoughts. On the one hand he could perfectly understand why Alexandria didn't want to see Shawn, Marissa and Chris now but on the other hand he also knew that Marissa and Chris had thought it was for Alexi's best to keep it from her.

So he said diplomatically: "I will try luv, but I can't promise you anything… I mean they're you're parents and even if I can understand you, they have a right to know if you're okay…"

Alexandria sighed deeply. "I know Randy… it's just… I can't see them right now… I just can't."
Randy gently brushed a strain of hair out of her face.

"I understand it baby… and I'll do everything I can to help you feel comfortable."
"Thanks…" Alexandria said again, a word she'd been saying a lot in the last hour. It showed how nervous she was about the surgery even though she hadn't really been thinking about it in the last hour.

"But now I better call for Dr. Cormela so that I can get over with it and that I will finally be able to see you when I tell you that I love you…" Alexi stated and Randy smiled brightly.

He bowed down and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead.

"I love ya too…"
And with that the two kissed tenderly for a moment, before the young Orton got up from his chair. He left the room reluctantly and Alexandria could hear someone else enter and a second later she heard Dr. Cormela's voice.

"So Alexandria, we can finally go…" She had a young assistant with her who started to wheel Alexi's bed out of the room and down the hall towards the operating room.

She could clearly hear her mother call for her but she decided to ignore it and listened to Dr. Cormela instead who explained to her what would happen next.

Alexandria could literally feel the eyes of her parents, Chris, Randy and John on her until the door to the operation room closed behind her.

Now everything happened quickly and before she knew it, Alexi was fast asleep because of the medications.

When the door had closed behind Sid and Randy, Shawn balled his fists.

"Why the hell did she call Sid? I mean she doesn't even know him… and he's a bastard. He was even before I've found out that he's responsible for me not knowing about my daughter for twenty years and he will always be one. He's just like Hunter… always trying to manipulate people so that he gets what he wants…" He rumbled. Marissa had a slight smile on her face because she was amused that Shawn was already so protective when Alexi was concerned and she guessed it was because he had missed twenty years to be protective so he had to make up for that now.

And that after Alexandria basically told him to go to hell… She thought. Her train of thoughts was interrupted when suddenly Chris spoke up: "Shawn… please calm down… Randy knows the story and he'll make sure that Eudy won't be spreading any lies."

HBK reluctantly calmed down and sat down in one of the plastic chairs again, burying his head in his hands.

He wondered how his life could've changed so drastically in just a few hours.

He now had a twenty year old daughter and the love of his life was back and he still had no idea how everything would turn out.

Marissa could easily see the inner conflict of Shawn and she sat down beside him again, taking one of his hands in hers, causing him to look at her.

"Shawn… I know it's hard to believe but everything will work out sooner or later. We just need to give her time. Alexi is a smart girl. She will quickly realise what Sid is up to… and she has good friends to take care of her. Chris has known her almost all of her life. And Randy's in love with her. They won't let her get hurt. Alexi will also find it in her heart to forgive us for everything we've done. Until then we need to hang in there…"

Shawn looked at Marissa and realised once again why he'd loved her all these years.

"You think so?"
Marissa nodded with conviction. She knew her daughter well enough to be sure that everything would work out eventually. And after all Alexi had made some good friends in the last days.

"I'm sure Shawn…" She said and squeezed his hand.

HBK smiled and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

John and Chris had stayed out of this conversation, knowing that they had no right to intrude in it since this was something between Marissa and Shawn.

And in addition to that they were a little helpless to see Shawn so distraught since this was a side they'd never seen before on the Heartbreak Kid.

Suddenly Shawn looked up at Marissa and asked out of the blue: "Um… Marissa, did you just say that Randy is in love with Alexandria?"

Chris would've laughed at the expression on Shawn's face if the situation hadn't been so serious because Shawn really looked like a father whose daughter had just introduced her first boyfriend to him.

Marissa couldn't help the small smile on her face.

"Yepp… and she's in love with him…"
Shawn's eyes widened and for a moment Chris feared that Shawn would run into that room and straighten out Randy for laying hands on his daughter.

HBK himself was surprised at his own reaction and the affection he already felt towards Alexandria even though he had only seen her once and she hadn't been very welcoming.

I knew he would've made a good father… Marissa mused.

Pity that he couldn't be there to see Alexi grow up. She thought for a moment.

The train of her thoughts were interrupted when suddenly Chris and John directed their attention down the hall.

Marissa and Shawn turned too and they saw a young doctor and an even younger man walking towards them. The man leaned against the wall a little away and the doctor still walked in their direction.

Chris put a smile on his face when he recognised the nice doctor from earlier today.

"Oh hey Martha…" He greeted when the doctor had nearly reached them.

"Hello Chris. What are ya doing out here? I thought you'd be in there trying to keep Alexandria company."
Chris shrugged.

"I was but right now she has to discuss some things with her boyfriend and another friend." He explained, thinking that Dr. Cormela didn't need to know what had happened here.

He chuckled a little when Shawn winced at the word boyfriend.

Martha just raised an eyebrow.

"Oh… and I thought you were her boyfriend." Dr. Cormela said and blushed just a little.

Chris shook his blonde hair and laughed a little.

"Nope I'm just her surrogate big brother…" He explained.

"Oh… I see… " Martha said. She was sure that she was missing something but she had no idea what. She let her eyes wander over Marissa, Shawn and John before she turned to Chris again, talking to him, since he'd been there with Alexi earlier and she had no real idea who all the other people were. "Well… back to business. I'm here to take Alexandria to the surgery because we're all set."
Chris nodded and motioned towards Marissa.

"That's Alexandria's mother over there so you should better talk to her."
Martha blushed a little and turned quickly towards Marissa.

"I'm sorry… I didn't realise because you said you weren't coming… I'm Dr. Cormela and I'll perform the surgery."

Marissa stood up and shook the young doctor's hand.

"It's okay. I could've said something myself. And besides I'm sure you know what you're doing so it's not important if you talk to me or to Chris about it."
Martha nodded, relieved that Marissa wasn't mad.

"Okay… well then is it okay if I go in there now?"
Chris nodded. He was happy that the doctor would interrupt the talk between Sid and Alexi.

"I think so… you can at least have a look…" He said a little jokingly.

Dr. Cormela nodded and knocked on the door and opened it seconds later, stepping into the room.

She found Alexi and two men she hadn't met talking. One of them she recognised as Randy Orton since she was a wrestling fan herself.

"Hi there Alexi… I don't mean to disturb you but we need to prepare you for the surgery now." She quickly said, not wanting to listen in on the conversation.

She saw Alexandria nod.

"Of course… Martha… can you give me another minute and then I'm ready?"

Dr. Cormela nodded. She knew that the girl probably wanted to finish whatever they had talked about and she knew a few minutes wouldn't matter, so she told the girl: "I'll wait outside… and you call for me when you're ready… a few minutes don't matter… but don't take too long."

With that, she left the room again and waited outside, talking with Chris and Marissa a little. She was also introduced to Shawn and John and she was surprised to find out that Shawn was Alexandria's father.

It wasn't long before Randy left the room to tell her that Alexi was ready now.

She motioned for her young assistant who had stayed back during their talk and the two went back into the room.

"So Alexandria, we can finally go…" Martha said at once, knowing from the look on the face that Alexi was anxious and that she wanted to get the operation done.

Her young assistant wheeled the bed towards the operation room while Martha explained the procedure of the surgery to the girl.

When Alexi was fast asleep, Martha took another deep breath and prepared herself for the surgery.
