As they strolled around the unusually deserted New York city, Roxy and Randy remembered the times they shared together there before their move to Connecticut. Since Roxanna had left her post as the Raw General Manager and Randy left his wrestling career, the two decided to stay in Connecticut to raise Lainey, Daniel and Kaydence in the house they bought together rather than move. Vince McMahon was still alive but did not run the WWE anymore; his son Shane and daughter Stephanie did.
Standing at the front of her old apartment, Roxy remembered every single moment that her and Randy had shared together there. They spent more time at her place than his because it was usually tidier!
"You remember that place? Man, I can't believe I used to live in New York!" Roxy giggled.
"Why d'ya move to New York?" Randy questioned, never really asking before.
"I don't know...I picked up a magazine one day, saw all of the new places, really liked them and decided that I wanted to move here."
"Maybe it was fate." Randy muttered.
"Fate for what?"
"I lived here. Maybe we were destined to be together."
"Just maybe!" Roxy smirked, the couple continuing to walk around the culture capital of America.
Flashback: Randy and Roxy arrive back at her apartment. They finally sold it to someone which meant that all of Roxy's stuff had to be removed.
"Fuck! Where the hell do we start?" Roxy sighed, running her fingers loosely through her hair.
"At the beginning?" Randy sarcastically answered.
"Ha ha Mr Tough-guy!" Roxy rolled her eyes, kissing Randy on the end of his nose before wandering off into her old bedroom. Dropping herself on the edge of the bed, it hardly seemed like a few months ago that she was still living here alone in solitude. Leaning back, she gazed up at the ceiling for a moment.
Randy tapped slightly on the door, entering the room gently. He glanced at Roxy before sitting next to her. Wrapping his arms across her shoulders, he was truly grateful for having her back in his life.
"It's different to how I remember it." Roxy sighed "It seems...smaller!"
"It's only coz you're used to our house being big!" Randy laughed.
"That's not the only thing that's big is it?" Roxy cooed, passionately wrapping her arms around Randy's neck, kissing his warm lips.
End of Flashback.
"Remember the first time we ever brought the kids to New York?" Randy questioned, glancing at Roxy.
"How could I forget; it was a complete nightmare!"
"Daniel, man, how many times has he gotten us into trouble before!"
"I know but, he's a good kid at heart." Roxy smiled warmly on the mere mention of her only son.
"I know but sometimes, it's hard to believe that!"
Flashback: Randy and Roxy had brought all of their children over to New York to catch up with some of their old wrestling friends at Madison Square Gardens. It was the night of Wrestlemania, and since Daniel had mentioned to his parents his ideas of following in his father's footsteps to become a professional wrestler, he'd begged them to bring him. Roxy reluctantly agreed after a long discussion with her husband.
Grasping two year old Kaydence firmly in her arms, Roxy held her youngest daughter close to her, her chubby, fleshy wrists hooked around Roxanna's neck. Kay was just beginning how to walk properly, without the aide of her Mommy but Roxy was still a little cautious with her.
As the young family walked into one of the locker rooms, both Roxanna and Randy were greeted with open arms of familiar friends and acquaintances. Lainey smiled sweetly to anyone who looked, as did Kay, imitating her big sister to perfection. Daniel, being the egotist that he is, stormed passed his siblings and parents, standing directly in front of one of the biggest names in Sports Entertainment history, The Rock.
Randy and Rocky, although they'd known each other for many years, were never what you would have described as friends. Both third generation superstars, The Rock was still bitter that Randy and his then Evolution team mates of Ric Flair and Batista had beaten himself and Mick Foley at Wrestlemania 20, over a decade previously. However, even the presence of the 'Great One' did intimidate Daniel...
"What's your name Jabroni!" The Rock questioned, pulling his sunglasses down, his eyes connecting with those of Daniels.
"Daniel Orton, future fourth generation WWE Superstar and twenty time World Champ!" he confidently stated, replicating his father's signature pose.
Roxy and Randy smirked at each other, waiting for Mr Hollywood's reaction.
"It doesn't matter what your name is! It does matter what your lil' girlfriends name is there!" The Rock pointed to Lainey, cocking his famous People's Eyebrow.
"Ewww, no way, that's my sister!" Daniel yelled.
"Oh, no way, you guys make a cute couple!" Rocky laughed, noticing Lainey's appalled expression.
"You're sick!" Daniel screamed, noticing how many of the current WWE Superstars were stood there sniggering at him. He took a hasty retreat out of the sight of the Rock, trying to comprehend why he had turned bright red and felt so foolish.
End of Flashback.
"The Rock sure did embarrass him that day!" Roxy giggled.
"Yeah. Man, it doesn't seem all that long ago since you told me you were carrying him..."
Flashback: It was Randy's birthday. Lainey and Roxy were waiting for the return of the Legend Killer as he now travelled without Roxy for Raw and house shows. He was winding down his schedule a little for the sake of his daughter.
"Mommy, can I show Daddy the cake I made for him?" Lainey asked, stealing a small piece of icing off the side of the cake.
"Sure honey, then I need to talk to your Daddy alone." Roxy beamed, rubbing a hand over her currently flat stomach.
A few moments later, a familiar figure walked into the house...
"Daddy!" Lainey squealed, jumping into her Dad's warm arms as he carelessly flung his travel bags to the floor. "Happy Birthday!"
"Thanks sweetheart." Randy replied, kissing his daughters cheek, standing her firmly on the ground.
"Come, look what I made for you!" Lainey shouted, grabbing Randy by the hand and leading him into the kitchen. "Do you like it?"
"Awww, honey, that's so sweet, thank you!" Randy grinned, glancing at the rather large, icing encrusted birthday cake that simply said 'Happy Birthday to the best Daddy in the world!' on it. He bent down to kiss her hairline as Roxy walked in. He stood up and embraced her fully, the two of them sharing a beautiful kiss.
"Ewww!" Lainey scrunched her nose in disgust, her parents turning to look at her.
"Lainey, I think it's your bed time." Roxy eyed her daughter, Lainey fully comprehending that her Mother needed some quiet time.
"Ok. Night Mommy, night Daddy." she sleepily spoke.
"I'll just go and put her to bed." Roxy whispered.
"Don't, I will." Randy reasoned, following his youngster up stairs.
Fifteen minutes later, Randy crept down the stairs to join his wife in the dimly lit living room. She was laid across the sofa, as Randy went to sprawl next to her.
"She's flat out." he spoke, taking great pride in being her Father.
"She's missed you a lot today." Roxy frowned slightly.
"I know." Randy sighed thoughtfully "After this storyline, I'm telling Vince that's it for the time being. It's not fair to expect you to raise our child on your own. Plus, I'll miss out on some of the most blissful years of her life."
"I know Angel, as long as you are sure..."
"I am."
"Anyway, I know you had your birthday presents the other day but there seems to be one that I didn't know about until this morning." Roxy spoke, bending her arm to the side of the sofa to pick up and gold and blue swirled gift bag that stood next to it.
Randy sat up, a look of confusion shadowing his face. Reaching inside the gift bag, he found a sealed, silver envelope with a heart written around 'Daddy'. He recognised Roxy's hand writing and scent but couldn't think of what the hell it could be. As Roxy urged him to open it, he delved deep inside the envelope to find something rather unexpected there.
Lifting the sonogram picture from the envelope, he gasped in awe at the tiny figure on display. He gasped at Roxy, his eyes widening as she gleamed brightly at him, her smile presenting all of the light that the room lacked. Inside was a carefully written note.
'To Daddy
This is the first glimpse you have of me. See you in seven months!
Love your new Son or Daughter.'
"Oh my God, Rox, sweetie..."
"Yep. I'm pregnant!" she tearfully spoke, more than glad that her husband was excited about the second child as she was. He wrapped his muscular arms around her, his Obsession cologne clinging to her body as they smooched in joy.
End of Flashback.
"That may have been the sweetest thing you've ever done for me!" Randy chuckled.
"You really think so?"
"Yeah. I was so shocked. Not like when Kaydence was conceived. We knew instantly that we had."
"Yeah, I guess the drama of her birth made up for it completely, huh?"
Flashback: Kaydence's birth day.
Randy was frantically speeding his way through the rush hour Connecticut traffic. As droplets of sweat fell from his chiselled face, he glanced from time to time in the mirror, checking on his two children.
"Daddy?"
"What Lainey?"
"Are you gonna miss Mom's birth?"
Randy, by this time, didn't have a clue. He'd gotten caught up in the wild traffic of the five o'clock hour and deeply regretted now not going with his wife and mother in law on their shopping trip earlier in the day.
"I don't know." He muttered, over taking a truck in despair.
"Why would you want to see some stupid baby being born anyway?" Danny mumbled, slamming his Hulk Hogan action figure to the currently spare seat in the car.
"That 'stupid' baby happens to be our little brother or sister!" Lainey stuck up for the soon to be new born.
"Still dumb!"
"SHUT UP!" Randy roared, finally losing his patience "I need to concentrate on the traffic!"
"Sorry Dad." both children murmured, their heads bowing down.
Ten minutes later, Randy had finally pulled into a parking space at the same hospital Daniel and Lainey had been born in. Hurrying them out of the car, he dragged both of them speedily up the stairs to the Maternity ward where he immediately asked where his beloved wife was.
"Room A1, you can't miss it." the Receptionist casually told.
Racing down the sterile corridor, Randy couldn't miss the birth of his third child, he couldn't. Wait here!" he sternly told Lainey and Daniel, running into Roxy's hospital room.
"Randy!" Roxy yelped on the final arrival of her husband, as he dashed over and grasped her hand tightly.
"Took your time didn't you?" Roxy's Mum, Charlotte, quizzed, folding her arms in front of her chest.
"Sorry, the traffic was terrible..." Randy apologetically kissed Roxy's forehead.
"Where are Lainey and Danny?" she panted.
"Outside."
"I'll go and take care of them now you're here!" Charlotte sneered, going to greet her Grandchildren.
"Sweetie, I'm so sorry, I can't apologise enough."
"I'm fine...even better when our baby makes their way here!"
"That should be within the next couple of pushes." the Midwife spoke "Ok, try and relax and push..." she urged, Roxy inhaling deeply, using all of her remaining strength to deliver her new child. "And again...one last push should do it!"
As the shrill cries of a baby pierced the room, Roxy began to cry herself, thankful that the quick yet painful birth was over.
"Congratulations, it's a girl!" the nurse smiled, handing the new baby over to her proud parents.
End of Flashback.
As the streets of New York became illuminated with advertisements and the moon lit sky, Roxy and Randy found themselves at the place where it all began.
Flashback:
After entering, Roxanna stood in awe for a few moments, gasping at the bright lights and attractions of the most famous Arena of them all; Madison Square Gardens. She smiled to herself, knowing that for once in her life she had made the right decision. At that moment, two men came walking over near her, which made her feel uncomfortable. She'd always been bad around the opposite sex, and this occasion was bound to be no different. Thankfully for her, the two men were so engrossed in their conversation that they'd barely noticed her.
Just then, the slightly shorter of the two looked up. Both of the men were wearing expensive looking suits and seemed extremely cocky. Each were tall, dark, and in their own minds at least, handsome. 'Too bad they are the only two people around, but I need directions!' she thought to herself.
"How can I help you?" The taller male asked her.
"Ummm well, yes, I..."
"There is no need to be shy around us little lady!" The shorter guy said. "How can we help you?"
She looked at the shorter guy and forgot where she was for at least a moment. Sure, she wasn't as tall as them, but she hated it when people said that to her. What annoyed her even more was that they called her that when she was actually 5 foot 7 and a half inches, not over tall but not teeny!
"Can you tell me where, ummm, Eric Bishoff's office is please?"
"Sure, if you keep walking along the corridor and turn left, you will see a blue door. You will have to tell the security guard who you are and he may let you through." The taller guy responded.
"Does he know you are coming?" Asked the less muscular, shorter of the two.
"Yes and no." She said indecisively.
"Well if you need anymore help then just come and find us. I'm Randy Orton, and this is Dave Batista." The shorter guy replied, pointing to Batista.
"Thanks for your help!" she said gratefully.
As she started walking away, Randy shouted to her, "By the way, I didn't catch your name, what is it?"
"My name is Roxanna Richards." She replied wearily, before waltzing off in the direction given to her.
'Hopefully, I'll be seeing you around!' Randy thought longingly to himself.
End of Flashback.
"Can you believe it; over three decades ago was where our journey began together!" Randy romantically reminisced.
"Yeah." Roxy sighed "Thinking back...it's weird. We have been through so much together. More than I could ever have imagined!"
"I hope I've summed it all up in this..." Randy delved into his jacked pocket. Inside, was the introduction to his soon to be released autobiography, 'The Life and Times of the Legend Killer'. Handing the paper to Roxy, he gazed at her lovingly, knowing and remembering exactly why he fell for her all of those years ago.
'I'd like to dedicate this book to five wonderful people who have made my life the greatest on earth. First, and foremost, Roxanna. My beautiful, committed and fantastic wife. Everything that my life evolves around now is you. And I'm so thankful for it. You truly have made life worth living and special. Thank you.
Lainey, our first child. You shall always be known as a 'Daddy's girl' even though you are starting a family of your own! You were the child we always wanted but never thought we'd have. The innocence of your words and intelligence still amaze me. Thank you.
Daniel. My boy! You may have hated being the only son in the family, so you say, but I didn't. I couldn't have coped with another one like you! Your drive and determination to succeed have made me more than proud to say you are my son. Thank you.
Kaydence. Forever known as 'Daddy's little Princess' you shall never, ever, lose that title, ever when you are in your 90's! Ever since the day you were born, and I first held you, I knew you would have a huge impact on anyone's life that you touched. Thank you.
Lastly, to Olivia. Although we were never formally introduced, you shall forver hold a special place in my heart, reserved only for you. I loved you before I realised it and could appreciate our short time together. Thank you for having such a great impact on mine and your Mother's life. Your pain was never in vein.'
"Randy..." Roxy gushed, handing him back the paper, remembering just why after so long of him trying to convince her, she fell madly in love with him. "That was beautiful." she purred.
"I mean every word of it."
"I know you do."
"I love you, sweetie. You have always made me feel so beautiful when no one else ever could."
"Same here, angel. I love you."
Embracing each other fully, their lips locked together in the most succulent, passion filled kiss they had ever shared together, knowing that no matter what happens in their lives, the other one shall always be there for continuous support, understanding and, most importantly, love.
Well, I guess there isn't a lot left to say other than that's it for Lust and Lunacy II: Back Into Your System. Thank you for everyone who ever read and reviewed this story, and Lust and Lunacy for that matter. Looking back, it's hard to believe that there wasn't even gonna be a sequel to Lust and Lunacy! During the summer, I'll be writing some more story's including a short slash series and a spoof of a well known book and movie. If you have any ideas or anything that you want me to write about, just let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks once again!
