The One
Chapter Nine: Admit It
Note: None that I can think of... Oh, thanx for your reviews! (heart) Luv y'all!
The simple fact that it had been at least an hour since Randy and Amy had disappeared in the bedroom ate away at him. Various thoughts ran through his troubled mind. Why was he still determined to have her? Why was he trying to get someone that never would want him the way he wanted her? He sighed, maybe he should give up? No, he hadn't backed down from a fight in his life... And this, this was definitely a fight he refused to give up on. He knew that someday if he was patient she'd be his. However, he wasn't a patient man. He wanted what he knew was rightfully his. He refused to let Randy have her, there was no way he could love her. For all John knew he probably wanted to be with her for the baby she was carrying. The thought of that made him angry. Why was Randy so damn irrespirable to her? No matter what he said or did... She always had a change of heart. He buried his face in his hands as Torrie walked in the room. John glanced up and offered a smile to the diva. She sat down before him, a smile came across her face.
"You love her, right?" Torrie asked.
"Yeah... A lot, but with Dawn and Randy around... I doubt she'll ever be mine." John replied.
"I've got an idea... But, it may not work, I'm not making an guarantees... What do you think Amy would think if you got a girlfriend and seemingly moved on? You think maybe she'd have a change of heart?" Torrie questioned.
"I don't know, but where would I find someone willin' to do that?" John responded quickly, raising an eyebrow at her question.
"You're looking at her. I'm not asking you out here... Just offering some help. I know how much you want her, and I'll help you get her." Torrie stated.
John leaned back on the couch, letting out a heavy sigh before he finally gave her an answer.
"I think I'll give it a try. What's the worst that could happen, right?" John declared.
"Exactly." Torrie agreed.
As the two stopped talking Amy and Randy exited the bedroom and Dawn came into the living room. Randy's arm was rapped around Amy's shoulders. Dawn smirked at this site, of course she'd be happy. Her art was coming to life before her very eyes. Who wouldn't be happy? John offered a smile to the two before he got up.
"I think I'm gonna head out. Torrie, wanna come with?" John announced.
Torrie smiled, "Sure... Ames, I'll talk to you later?"
"Yeah..." Amy mumbled, unsure of what exactly she was hearing here.
Randy's grip around her shoulders tightened slightly as John and Torrie left the house. Dawn shrugging before she started cleaning up from the shower.
"Babe, you want to do something?" Randy asked looking down at his girlfriend.
"Like what?" Amy replied, a smile upon her face.
"I don't know, maybe we could go out for dinner and a movie? Who knows how often we'll be able to do that sort of stuff after the baby is born." Randy offered.
Dawn grinned happily, however kept looking down as she pictured up the garbage from the presents.
"Sure, if it's okay with Dawn, that is..." Amy responded.
The two glared at Dawn, who glared up at the two of them, as if to silently ask.
"Of course you can! We'll just finish up the cleaning and then we'll probably head back to our hotels." Dawn informed them.
Randy smirked at the green eyed woman before he looked down at his girlfriend.
"You want you change or anything before we leave?" Randy asked softly.
"Actually, yeah. I'll be right back.' Amy declared.
She offered him a meager smile before she retrieved to the bedroom. Randy watched her exit the room before he turned his attention toward Dawn.
"You got the ring?" Randy questioned.
"Of course I did. It was out of your price range, however. But I don't think you'd really care, would you?" Dawn replied.
"No, not at all. I think I'll propose tonight." Randy informed her.
Dawn beamed, she appeared to have just won the lottery if Randy weren't mistaken. She happily went into the kitchen and returned with a black velvet box, which she dropped in Randy's hand. He glared at the box a moment before he opened, a beautiful diamond ring appearing as the box was fully open. He would have commented on it if it weren't for the sound of the bedroom door reopening, he quickly shut the box and temporarily stashed the box in his pocket. The redhead glared at between her best friend and her boyfriend, raising an eyebrow at their sudden silence. She shrugged it off and looked to Randy.
"Shall we go then?" Amy asked.
"Definitely, babe." Came Randy's reply as he winked at her.
She blushed slightly before she and Randy started for the door, Dawn assuring them that she had things under control before the pair finally left. Dawn turned from the door after she shut it, a huge smirk across her face as she continued cleaning up the 'litter'.
As soon as Torrie and John had arrived at John's hotel they discussed how their so-called 'relationship' would work. The basics were that they wouldn't get attached at all, therefore no kissing and etc. Unless it were in the presence of Amy and/or Randy. John knew that if Randy were to see them do anything he'd most likely find a way to bring it up in front of Amy, while Torrie knew that Amy would most likely hate the image of John and herself kissing. But sometimes, things didn't go exactly as planned…
A Few Months Later….
"Congratulations…" The doctor started, a smile upon his normally serious face. "You have successfully given birth to a healthy baby boy."
The couple smiled, her fiancé gripped her hand slightly before he kissed her forehead. The nurse cleaned the little boy of the body fluids that covered his body. The woman sat up on the hospital bed to catch a glimpse of her son, however another nurse told her to relax. She laid back down on the semi-comfortable bed as she awaited the nurse to allow her to hold her son. It wasn't long until the nurse who had been cleaning the child off turned to face them, a blue blanket wrapped around the tiny baby boy. She smiled, rocking him slightly as she walked to the mother's bedside.
"Would you like to hold your son?" The nurse asked politely.
Amy's face lit up with a smile as she nodded and said, "Yes, please…"
The second she held her son in her arms she knew that she loved him - more than life itself, no doubt. The nurse smiled as she watched the couple cherish the birth of their son.
"What are you going to name him?" She asked curiously.
"James…" Amy whispered, looking into her sons crystal blue eyes.
The tall man chuckled slightly, "So you seen that list Dawn made up?"
"Of course I did." Amy replied with a laugh.
The nurse smiled once more before she said, "I'll give you three some time alone, I'll be back shortly… We need to run some tests on your son. Just to make sure he's healthy and all."
The two nodded, their eyes didn't leave their son.
"I love you…" Amy mumbled.
"And I love you too, honey." Randy stated.
She glared at her fiancé, a smirk on her face.
"I wasn't talking to you." Amy replied.
"I know…" Randy responded a smirk coming across his face as well.
"I know that you know." Amy teased.
"So… You like James, do you?" Randy questioned.
She smiled as she stared down at her son.
"Of course, why would I have named him James if I didn't like it?" Amy replied with a hint of sarcasm.
"To please Dawn?" Randy offered.
"I could care less about Dawn's suggestions for names… I really like the name, don't you?" Amy asked.
"Of course I do, anything that you like… I like, except--" Randy stated.
"Let's not get into that, please… We're supposed to be happy… We have a son now." Amy interrupted.
"You think I don't know that?" Randy asked.
"I know you know that, but I'm just saying… John can't come between us." Amy stated.
Suddenly the door swung open and a nurse, along with Dawn, entered the room.
"It's time we did some tests." The nurse announced.
The redhead slowly gave her son the nurse, not wanting to leave his side, while Dawn smiled at the two. The nurse left and Dawn stepped forward.
"I'm so proud of you guys… Truly I am." Dawn exclaimed.
The redhead grinned, "I know you are, thanks for all your support…"
The room became silent, no one having anything else to say other than the obvious. Dawn glared down at the floor of the hospital room before she finally broke the silent, looking up as she did so.
"So…" Dawn slowly drew out the word, waiting for them to look her way. "What'd you name him?"
The two exchanged a smile before Randy finally spoke, "James."
"Ah, I see." Dawn mumbled, a smirk coming across her face.
"Yeah, we used one of your listed names." Amy stated.
Dawn nodded gleefully before she asked, "You heard from John lately?"
Amy raised an eyebrow, "Why would you care?"
"Well, because I haven't… I haven't seen much of him since he started dating Torrie." Dawn stated. "Just making sure he's alive?"
"We could only wish other wise." Randy mumbled.
"Randy!" Amy exclaimed, slapping Randy's arm.
"I was…kidding?" Randy offered.
"Still…" Amy muttered, shaking her head. "No, I haven't heard from him… I'm worried about him."
Randy let out a sigh, his hand running through his short hair before he got up off the chair that was next to the hospital bed.
"What's wrong with you?" Amy questioned.
Randy glared at Dawn, slightly asking for a moment alone. Dawn nodded before she exited the room, leaving the two to sort out this 'mess' on their own.
"Randy…Mind answering me?" Amy asked again.
"Yeah…" Randy started. "What will it take, huh?"
She blinked, completely confused by what he was saying or trying to say.
"What are you talking about?"
"Why don't you just admit it? I'm sick of you acting like you actually love me… Don't just admit it to me, but admit it to yourself… You love him, not me!" Randy snapped.
The door opened slightly and a man stepped in, standing in the door way for a moment before he finally spoke.
"Am I interruptin' somethin'?" John asked.
"No… I was just leaving." Randy hissed, shooting Amy a harsh look before he stormed out of the room.
John watched Randy leave and then stared at Amy, who appeared to be on the verge of tears.
"What happened?" John questioned.
"I think Randy just broke up with me.." Came her quiet reply.
To Be Continued…
Yeah, I sort of rushed it toward this point… But, I think there should be an upcoming ending soon… Expect a few more twists and, of course, the said ending.
