Disclaimer: I own nothing and no one you recognise, I only own the OC's.
Rating: PG13
Pairing: Randy/OC. Possible Randy/Lita eventually.
Spoilers: None
Notes: Response to andonly's challenge posted at litafics on LJ about Randy and his wife needing a surrogate to have a baby for them. I'm using real names in this and storylines are just storylines. This part is kinda short but I'm still struggling with the muses a little bit.
You can find Part 1 here. Part 2 here. Part 3 here. Part 4 here.
Summery: If you wanted something so badly what would you do to get it?
Part 5: The first try.
Amy sat in her doctor's office waiting for the doctor. She had changed into one of those horrible paper gowns and wasn't sure if she was shaking from the cold air in the room or from her own nerves. If this treatment worked she'd be pregnant, Randy and Sarah would get their baby.
The redhead had been told what to expect at her last appointment but she was still a little scared. Everyone had so much riding on this treatment and even though Randy and Sarah both knew it was rare for the first treatment to work Amy couldn't blame them for getting their hopes up.
"Sorry to keep you waiting so long Ms Dumas." Dr Harrison smiled apologetically.
"That's ok…"
Amy took a deep breath and lay down on the table.

Randy was pacing the length of the waiting room, occasionally stopping to run his hands over his short hair.
"Randy sit down…she's only been in there 15 minutes." Sarah scolded him as she sat twirling her wedding ring.
"I don't know how you can keep still…do you realise how much I lives could be about to change?"
"I know that honey but you have to remember it might not work."
"Of course it's gonna work, I just know it is…and there's no harm in hoping is there?"
Sarah let out a long sigh.
"Usually no…Randy the doctor warned us not to pin all our hopes on the first try…sometimes it takes 4 or 5 treatments to get pregnant…and other times it doesn't work at all."
"You sound like you've already given up…you do still want this don't you?"
"How can you ask me that? You know how much I want a baby with you."
"Really? Cause you don't sound too happy about this…"
"Can you blame me? I'm sorry I'm not jumping for joy that someone else is gonna give you the baby that I cant give you…maybe you should have married Amy then you could have as many perfect babies as you want."
Randy knelt in front of her.
"Sweetie…I love you, I didn't marry you just to have kids."
"That's not how it feels to me sometimes…"
Randy didn't know what to do; nothing he said was going to make her feel any better about this. He just had to hope that the end result would be worth it, all this heartache would be forgotten the first time she held their baby in her arms.

"You can get dressed now Ms Dumas." Dr Harrison announced as he removed the latex gloves he'd been wearing.
Amy sat up slowly, waiting for the doctor to leave the room so she could get dressed. She was shaking again as she arranged her next appointment with the nurse and headed for the waiting room.
"How did it go?" Randy asked anxiously when the redhead walked into the waiting room.
"Ok I guess…it did hurt a bit though…"
"But you're ok right?"
"I'm fine Randy…" the redhead rolled her eyes.
"Don't worry about him, he was the same every time I had tests or anything." Sarah said with a sympathetic smile.
"What happens now?" Randy asked, completely ignoring what his wife had just said.
"We wait…the doctor said I can take a pregnancy test in about 4 days."
"Do you feel pregnant?"
Amy and Sarah both laughed.
"I don't think it works like that Randy and I've never been pregnant so I don't know what it feels like…"
"Randy will you please stop clucking round her like a mother hen."
"I'm not clucking round her…I don't cluck…"
Amy couldn't help but giggle at the pout on her friends face.
"Come on, I'm starving."
The redhead couldn't deny she sensed the tension between the Ortons, she guessed it was just the stress of what was going on but she hoped it wasn't her fault.

Randy called Amy almost every 5 minutes over the next few days wanting to know if she felt anything. Her answer was always the same; she didn't feel any different than she usually did.
The redhead took a deep breath as she looked at the little white plastic stick she was holding. She looked at it for a minute before picking up the phone and dialing Randy's number.
"Hello?"
"It's me…I did the test…I'm sorry Randy."
She heard him sigh at the other end of the line.
"Are you sure?"
"I've done 3 tests; all negative…I'm going to the doctors later just to be completely sure…"
"Ok…"
Amy could hear the emotion in his voice and it killed her.
"We knew this might happen…we'll just have to try again."
Another sigh.
"Thank you Ames…call me after you've been to the doctor…"
"I will…tell Sarah I'm sorry."
Amy hung up and wiped the tears she didn't even know she was crying away from her face.
ok i know it's short and not much happens but the muses have been sleepy and i've been sick. please reveiw, it might cheer me up.
