Part 2: Hopes and Fears.


Randy was sitting in his locker room before Raw when Amy walked in without knocking as always.

"You know one day you're gonna do that and I'm gonna be changing or something."

"It's not like I haven't seen it all before or don't you remember your bachelor party? When John stripped you and left you tied to that lamp post, who untied you? Me." The redhead shrugged.

"You're lucky I like you Ames…" he laughed.

"You're lucky you like me too…so what ya reading?"

She threw herself down on the couch beside him and looked at the papers he was holding.

"Its some stuff I got off the internet about surrogacy…we've decided we're gonna find a surrogate."

"Really? Won't that be kinda weird? Seeing someone else carrying your baby?"

"I guess so at first but this way we get to go through everything with her, whoever she's gonna be and the baby will really truly be ours…"

"As long as you and Sarah are both sure then I'm happy for you." She pulled her blue eyed friend into a hug.

"We are sure…we both want a baby so much…"

"You guys deserve it, you really do."

"Thanks Ames…"

"Do you know how you're gonna find someone?"

"Sarah wants it to be someone she knows, she's already asked one of her friends but she said she needed time to think about it…I just hope she says yes."

"I'm sure she will…you're gonna be changing diapers before you know it."

"Oh no, I'll do anything else but I'm not changing diapers."

Randy jumped a little when his phone rang.

"It's Sarah…"

Amy watched Randy flip his phone open.

"Hi sweetie…babe calm down…what did she say?...you're serious? She said yes?...I love you too babe…"

Randy looked slightly stunned when he closed his phone.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing…she said yes…Sarah's friend Veronica said she'll be our surrogate…we're gonna have a baby…"

"Aww I'm gonna be Aunty Amy…I expect to be first on the list for babysitting duties."

"Of course you will…Sarah wants me to meet Veronica tomorrow so we can talk about what's gonna happen…it's gonna mean more doctors and stuff…"

"Whatever you have to do it'll all be worth it once you're holding your beautiful baby."

Randy grinned.

"Can you imagine this tiny little thing calling me daddy…depending on me for everything…?"

"Yeah I can…you and Sarah are gonna be amazing parents."

Randy glanced at his watch.

"Damn, I didn't realise it was this late…" he got up and started to pull his wrestling gear out of his bag.

"I should go and find Adam, you know how long it takes him to get ready…I'll see ya later daddy." Amy giggled.

"See ya Ames."


3 weeks later.

"Sarah I'm home…where are you?" Randy called as he walked through their house.

"I'm upstairs babe; I'll be down in a minute."

Randy dropped his bag on the floor and flopped down in a chair. Sarah came bouncing downstairs with a towel round her hair.

"Veronica called this morning, she got all her test results back…"

"And?"

"Everything's fine, she can start the treatment as soon as we're ready."

"Did you give her the cheque for the house?"

"Yeah, she didn't wanna take it at first until I told her we wouldn't take no for an answer."

"I can't believe we're really doing this…by this time next year we could be parents…"

"It's kinda scary…but in a good way…are you sure we're ready for this?"

"Babe, I've never been so sure of anything in my life…"


1 month later.

Sarah was standing in the kitchen with the phone to her ear.

"Veronica please pick up if you're there…I need to know why you missed that appointment…please call me."

She pressed the end call button just as Randy came in.

"Still no answer?"

"No…that's the 5th time I've called…I'm worried about her Randy, what if something's wrong? She knew how important that appointment was…"

Randy sighed.

"Babe, you don't think she might have taken the money and ran?"

"What? No…she wouldn't…would she?"

They still hadn't heard from Veronica by the next day. Randy decided to go looking for her. What he found when got to her house confirmed his fears. The place was empty; there was no sign of her ever having lived there.

Sarah was devastated, locking herself in the bathroom for hours. Randy didn't know what to do or how to help her. The door bell rang, dragging him away from thoughts of what their baby would have looked like. He opened the door to see his redheaded friend; he'd forgotten Sarah had invited Amy over for dinner.

"Hi…Randy what's wrong?"

"Veronica…she's gone…all she wanted was money…" tears spilled from his blue eyes.

"Oh sweetie…come here."

She wrapped her arms around him and held him, her small hands gently rubbing his back while he cried.
