"We think that your wife needs a C-Section. Both her and your baby are becoming very distressed. There could be complications if we keep making her push. She's exhausted and I don't think the baby will be in the best of shape if we continue to try with a natural birth." Dr Lovejoy warned. "Your baby's heart rate is increasing a little that may only get worse..."
"Rox really wanted a natural birth." Randy sighed, running a hand through his hair. It was now very early in the morning and he was becoming fatigued as well as Roxanna.
"I know. That's why I've held it off for as long as possible." Dr Lovejoy frowned. "Please...I need you to make a logical decision."
"Fine. I'll go and talk to Rox." Randy reluctantly agreed, stepping back inside the delivery room. Roxy was just awake, her eyes heavy.
Taking her hand in his, Randy did his best not to begin crying. Many emotions flooded to him, as their eyes connected. He was on the thresh hold of becoming a Father but was about to disobey his wife's dream of giving birth to their baby naturally.
"Darling, I'm sorry." he began "I didn't want it to be this way...you need a Caesarean. You're way too tired to give birth naturally. I'm sorry." Randy pleaded, waiting for his other half's reaction.
"I knew it would come to this." Roxy grunted in discomfort. "To be honest, I don't even care anymore. I just want to see our baby." Roxy yawned. Randy bend down to kiss her as the doctor made her way back into the room.
"Ok. Let's do this. You'll need to put this gown on." Dr Lovejoy smiled softly to Randy, handing him the surgical precautions. "This won't take too long - try and relax." Dr Lovejoy comforted Roxanna "You won't be able to feel a thing but you'll still be awake."
Randy joined Roxy and Dr Lovejoy a few moments later. Everything was prepared for the birth as Randy took a seat, taking hold of Roxy's hand. He smiled lightly to her, caressing the back of her hand.
"Green really isn't your colour!" Roxy wise-cracked, trying to make Randy less tense.
For some reason, the tables had been turned; Randy was now threating more than Roxy over the labour. He rocked backwards and forwards on his chair, muttering to himself.
"Who's more worried?" Roxy mumbled, squeezing Randy's hand tightly.
"I just don't want to see you get hurt." Randy grinned falsely, seeing Dr Lovejoy pick a knife from the table beside her. Randy gulped as Roxy laughed under her breath at him.
"I won't."
"Ok, we're ready." Dr Lovejoy told, pressing the silver coloured knife against Roxy's bulging stomach. "You'll feel pressure in a few seconds - that's perfectly normal." she added.
As Dr Lovejoy made an incision, both Roxy and Randy took a deep breath. They'd both waited so long for this moment. Ever since Roxy was a little girl, she'd wanted a family. The family she'd lacked as a child. The family that at every birthday, Christmas or other celebration she'd longed for.
Randy, on the other hand, had always wanted to have a family to resemble that of his own; loving, caring and supportive. He'd always wanted to be called 'Daddy' and to play-fight with his offspring. Soon, both could fulfil their fantasies.
Dr Lovejoy spoke, bringing both from their thoughts. "Any minute now!"
"I really can't believe this is happening." Randy semi-laughed.
"I know. I just want to hold our baby." Roxy smiled softly, clasping Randy's hand tighter.
As the room went silent, Dr Lovejoy lifted the baby from Roxy's womb as they both waited on baited breath to hear the cries of their first born.
Suddenly, an ear piercing scream ripped through the theatre as Randy and Roxy gave a sigh of relief. The tiny, yet big for it's age, baby was wiped dry from blood and other stains. Cutting the umbilical cord, Dr Lovejoy glanced over at the proud new parents, both desperate to hear news on their new born.
"Congratulations. It's a girl!" the Doctor smiled, Randy embracing Roxy, kissing her warm lips passionately.
Wrapping her in a soft, fluffy, white blanket, Helen, the trainee nurse, handed the first born to the glowing couple. As Roxy sat up, she caressed her daughters head for the first of many times. Randy's eyes began to well up as his baby girl grasped his thumb, her wrinkled skin making him beam with joy as the new family continued to celebrate their arrival.
A few hours later, Randy arrived back at the hospital carrying a duffle bag with everything Roxy and his darling daughter would need. Stepping into Roxy's side room, he smiled at her, kissing the top of her hair hoping not to wake her from her slumber, her dark hair framing her face like the angel she was. Placing the bag beside the bed, he exited the room to take another look at his daughter.
Tip toeing into the nursery, Randy was waved in from Dr Lovejoy who was checking her vital signs.
"Yep, everything seems to be fine. Because she's a little early, we'll keep doing regular checks on her through out the next few days. How's Roxanna?"
"She's asleep at the minute. I didn't want to wake her." Randy replied, peering into the cot.
"Yeah, it would probably be better for her if not too many people came to see her for the next few days. She'll be a little sore and irritable. Any thoughts on what you want to call your baby?"
"We haven't made up our minds. Is it ok if I take her to Roxy, you know, to decide?"
"Of course but not for too long. Are you ok carrying her?"
"Sure." Randy nodded, gently lifting his first - of hopefully many - babies from her cot. She moved slightly in his arms as he cradled her securely, his smile becoming broader.
Dr Lovejoy opened the door for Randy who smiled at her. She was glad that the long and painful birth was finally at an end. She knew how long both Roxy and Randy had wanted to be parents and was glad she was apart of it.
"I'll leave you three alone." Mrs Lovejoy smiled, closing the door quietly behind her.
"Hey sweetie." Randy softly spoke, strolling over to his beloved "How ya feeling?"
"Good. How's little one?" she questioned, sitting up slightly in bed, making room for Randy to sit beside her.
"Fine...well it's hard to say with a baby isn't it?" Randy laughed, holding the baby up.
"She's so beautiful." Roxy gushed, trying to distinguish what features were from both her and Randy.
"Just like her Mommy." Randy kissed Roxy once again "Do you want to hold her?"
"Sure." Roxy nodded as the 6 pound 11 ounce baby was clasped into her arms. "She's got your eyes."
"Your nose and lips." Randy continued "What shall we call her? We need something to tell our parents. Plus, I need something to tell the Raw fans when I announce her arrival later tonight." Randy added, moving the blanket away from his daughters mouth.
"I dunno...she doesn't look like a Naomi after all." Roxy decided, stroking her baby's cheek lightly.
"She has such dark hair!" Randy commented "And a lot for her age."
"I can't believe...I can't believe this is all real. That we are parents." Roxy digested.
"We'll be the best damn parents ever!" Randy smirked, kissing his baby girl on the head.
A few hours later and Randy was about to hit the ring at the start of Raw. Roxy was still in hospital with her now named daughter and the new Grandparents. As Randy's theme tune hit, many of the fans were unaware that he was now a Father. He wanted to be the first to announce it to the entire world. Not the WWE website. Not Vince McMahon. Not Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler. Himself, Randy Orton.
Grinning like a Cheshire Cat, Randy took a microphone from ring announcer Lillian Garcia before waiting for the fans to calm down, jolting the World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder. They were so happy that the evil Edge had been defeated at Wrestlemania. Many of them noticed the black circles under his eyes and dopey expressions; signs of sleep depravity.
"Last night was the greatest night of my life so far," he began "For more than one reason. Winning back this World Heavyweight Championship has made me the man once again. It's funny. A few short years ago, I was told I'd never wrestle again. I'd never be on Raw or Smackdown ever again. I'd never wrestle at another Wrestlemania. But I proved them wrong. Everyone who ever doubted me, well, just take a look at me now!" he demanded, hoisting his Championship high in the air for everyone to see.
"But the best evening of my life didn't stop there. You all know that my beautiful wife Roxy was pregnant. Not anymore. Early this morning we gave birth to an equally beautiful baby girl. After a long discussion this afternoon, we decided to call her Lainey Naomi Orton."
The crowds cheered, obviously happy for the Legend Killer and their General Manager, they all aware of their past problems.
"Thanks you guys for your support. I promise I'll be back soon!" Randy promised, blowing the audience a kiss before heading back to the hospital to be with his new family.
When he arrived back, he found Roxy was breast feeding baby Lainey.
"How's it going?" Randy questioned.
"Better than I thought. I can't wait to take her home!" Roxy smiled broadly.
"Me neither sweetie, me neither."
Check back for more soon!
