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: Lita leaving.

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. Oh and just incase I haven't pointed this out before I have Randy living in Atlanta near Lita.

Summery: If you wanted something so badly what would you do to get it?

Part 8: Never be alone.


Randy sat in the airport with his phone to his ear, trying for to call his wife for at least the 5th time that day. He couldn't understand why she wasn't answering; everything was fine when he'd called her that morning to tell her about the baby. With a sigh he flipped his phone closed and headed towards his gate.

It was getting dark by the time Randy walked through his front door.

"Sarah? Where are you hun?" the blue eyed superstar called out when he saw no sign of his wife downstairs.

He made his way up to their bedroom, not noticing at first that all her make up and hair things had gone. He flicked the light on and her wedding ring caught his eye. He reached down to pick it up but stopped when he saw the note. He sat on the edge of the bed and read his wife's words.

Randy

I know you won't understand why I'm doing this, how can you when I don't completely understand it myself? I don't want this baby…I don't think I ever really did. I can't watch her carry your baby and I can't pretend to love it once it's born.

I thought that if I told you I wanted kids then maybe I would convince myself but I was wrong. I know I can't make you chose between me and your baby so I wont. I'm leaving you Randy. You can be with her now.

I love you Randy but did you ever really love me? Or was I just part of the plan so you could get a baby? I guess it doesn't really matter anymore since you've got her now, she can give you everything I can't. For all I know you both had this planned all along, you get a kid and Amy gets you. You can kid yourself all you want but I know she wants you.

Don't look for me Randy; just be happy with your perfect new family.

Sarah.

Randy starred at the words in disbelief. This was all so wrong. His wife could not have left him, not now, when they had a baby on the way. The things she said about not wanting the baby and about Amy were so out of character. Blue eyes shone with tears as they looked around the room, finally noticing what was missing.

Her perfume and hairbrush were gone, her favorite lipstick wasn't by the bed where she always kept it and most of her clothes had gone from the closet. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed his wife's number, jumping slightly when he heard her ringtone playing from across the room.

The blue eyed superstar reached down and picked up his wife's phone, pressing the end call button on his own. She'd really gone; his wife had really left him. He ran a hand over his hair and was hit with a sudden thought; if he couldn't find Sarah and make her see how stupid this all was then he was going to be a single father.

He jumped again when his phone rang. He looked at the name flashing, hoping it was Sarah but it wasn't.

"Hey Ames…" he answered with a sigh.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

He thought about saying nothing but he'd never been able to lie to her.

"Sarah's gone…"

"What? Gone where?"

Tears stung his eyes as he said the words.

"I don't know…she took all her stuff…left a note and her wedding ring…she said she doesn't want the baby, that she never did…"

"Did you try calling her?"

"She left her phone…what the hell did I do wrong Ames?"

"You didn't do anything wrong sweetie…"

Amy's heart broke for him.

"Can I come over to your place? I don't wanna be here on my own…" he sniffled.

"Of course you can, you don't have to ask…it'll be ok Randy."

Amy hung up and placed a hand on her stomach, if Sarah could change her mind about the baby then what was to stop Randy doing the same thing?

Randy knocked on the redhead's door, the diva pulling him into a hug when she saw him. Once she'd gotten him sitting down he handed her Sarah's note. She read over the words almost feeling like it was some kind of joke then she turned to Randy. She had to ask him, even though she didn't want to, she had to know.

"Randy, I know you're hurting right now but I need to know…do you still want the baby?"

"Of course I do…this baby is the best thing that's ever happened to me."

The redhead smiled.

"I just had to make sure."

"That poor kid isn't even born and its family is already messed up…"

"Hey, at least it's got a daddy and Aunt Amy who love it, that's a lot more than a lot of kids have."

Amy reached out to wipe a tear from Randy's face.

"What if she doesn't come back Ames? What do I do then?"

"I don't know hun…but you're not gonna be on your own, me and the munchkin are always gonna be here."

The redhead hugged him again.

"What would I do without you Ames?"

Amy's door bell rang and kept ringing.

"I forgot John said he wanted to hangout tonight."

The redhead walked out to open the door and was immediately swept off her feet by the West Newbury native.

"Put me down dork…Randy's here and he's upset."

"What's got his panties in a twist this time?"

"Well you'd be upset if your wife left you the same day you found out you're gonna be a dad."

"What and huh?"

Amy rolled her eyes.

"I'm pregnant and Sarah left Randy…she doesn't want the baby."

"Damn…kinda sucks to be Orton huh?"

"He needs us John so no lame jokes."

"Ames my jokes are never lame…but I'll be nice, I promise."

"Hey man…Ames told me what happened, I'm sorry about Sarah but congrats on the munchkin."

"Thanks…I should probably go…"

"Don't you dare…I told you, you're not gonna be on your own and I meant it…and anyway I need you here to balance out his dorkiness." The redhead giggled.

"Hey, he's just as dorky as I am…"

"I am not…and you can't call me a dork, I'm gonna be someone's dad, it's disrespectful."

"Dork." John coughed.

"Ok ok…you're both dorks."

The redhead was glad to see a smile on Randy's face.
