Chapter 23

6 Months Later: October 14, 2012

Randy walked out of the bathroom, closing the light behind him, he had just finished brushing his teeth and he walked out to finish up packing his bags for the next show tomorrow night. He squatted down to grab his duffle bag off the floor and as he tossed it up on the bed to finish packing it, Kim's voice spoke up from the other end of the bed.

"So me and my mom had an interesting conversation last week when I went to go visit."

Randy and Kim were still together, it had to be at least a year now that they have been together rand sometimes Randy himself can't believe it, he didn't think this would go on for as long as it did, not saying that he was using Kim, he did care about her but whether he honestly loved her was a different story, there were days where it seemed like he was just going through the motions, like he was just settling because he couldn't have what he truly wanted. Or who. Kayla.

Most days he still couldn't keep Kayla out of his mind and he was mainly left alone with his thoughts at night, thinking of her and still thinking of the two years they had together. He hasn't spoken to her in a few months the last time he did speak to her was about 3 months ago when she came by one of the Raw Shows to speak with Stephanie, when he saw her he was blown away, he couldn't remember her being so beautiful or her even having such an effect on him but that night she did. He passed her in the hall that night and they talked for a few minutes before he left her at Nikki`s locker room. When he left her he felt himself desperate to have her back and be with her even if it just were for a second, just to remember what it was like, even though it was only a year ago, he can't remember how it felt to kiss her or to have her skin against his anymore.

After seeing her that night backstage at Raw, he told himself he had to stop thinking of her, he had Kim now and he was happy. So he thought. He kept telling himself as long as he was with Kim he couldn't think of Kayla in that way but that doesn't mean he didn't, there were days he couldn't get her off his mind after that encounter 3 months prior.

"Baby?" Kim spoke in a louder tone, trying to get Randy's attention.

Randy's head immediately shot up and the thoughts were torn away from his mind, for the moment at least. "Im sorry baby what were you saying?"

Kim raised a brow, confused by his distance but just shrugged it off as tiredness "I was saying that my mom was telling me that my best friend from college, Lauren was getting married next summer."

Randy just nodded his head and continued to pack his bag "Oh yeah?" he pretended to be interested "Did she say you were invited or something?"

Kim nodded her head "Well Yeah but then my mom brought up the fact of how beautiful I would look walking down the aisle in a long white dress…" she bit her lower lip and got herself up on her knees on the bed, making her way over to Randy on the other side "A dress that showed off my curves with laces and crystals…" she saw Randy's head shoot up and look her strait in the eyes "Yeah?" he asked

She wrapped her arms around his neck stopping him from packing and smiled softly "Have you ever thought about us and our future?" she questioned tilting her head a bit "I mean would you want marriage?"

Randy felt a lump forming in his throat, the only other time this topic came up was with Kayla and he shot her down so quickly and so harshly, if it were now he would be down on one knee with a ring in his hand ready for her to say yes. Now with Kim questioning him about marriage, this made him nervous and uneasy. He wasn't ready for it, at least not with her. He cleared his throat and sighed "Listen Kim, can we talk about this another day?"

She watched as he removed her arms from around his shoulders and continued packing "But Randy Im just curious as to how your feeling…"

Randy sighed and ran a hand over his head, looking up at her again "Im feeling like this conversation needs to be saved for another time okay?" he saw her nod and give a disappointed look and felt bad, he sighed and tried to recover "Im just tired and need to finish packing for this show tomorrow okay baby?" he stated softly as she smiled with a nod, he leaned over and softly gave her a kiss.

Later that same night:

It was well past 11pm on that Sunday night and over at Kayla's house, she was having a long debate with herself in bed. Right after she grabbed herself a bottle of water, she walked up the stairs and before heading to her bedroom for the night, she slowly creaked open Jacobs bedroom door to check on the sleeping toddler. Jacob was now a little over 1 year old and he had everything of his fathers features and more, what he did have from Kayla though was her personality he was sweet and caring and was such a joy to be around. She noted to herself how blessed she was and how amazing this little boy was to her before closing his bedroom door again and walking in the direction of her room and getting ready for bed.

And now this is where she sat, in the middle of her Queen size bed, with I-Phone in hand, unlocking the screen every minute to check the time. She did this over and over again as she debated to herself whether or not to call him. She had a strange feeling in her heart and she wanted to call him, she needed to hear his voice and see how he was. She hadn't seen him or talked to him since that night on Raw backstage 3 months ago, she remembers it like it was yesterday. He had just finished with a match and she saw he walking down the hall heading towards her, his body glistening with sweat and a towel wrapped around his neck, she had to fight the urge from biting her lip, this man had no idea the effect he had on her and even after all this time he could still make her melt by simply walking towards her. As she thought about that night she got chills up and down her spin. She had to stop thinking about him! Randy was happy, he was with his girlfriend Kim and he was happy and Kayla just needed to deal with that!

She groaned and let her head fall back on the pillow 'I can't stop thinking of you Randy, I can't let you go just like that!' she screamed at herself in thought. The past few days she had been feeling the weirdest things, like something tugging at her heart or something in the back of her mind making her body surge with guilt. It could be the fact that not too long ago, last week, Jacob said the word Daddy. Every time she thinks about it that guilt comes back, he said Daddy but yet he has never seen Daddy or has no memory of being with him and that kills her the most, she doesn't want him to get older and ask questions, as why she kept him from Randy.

She sighed and bit her lip looking at the phone 'this may be Gods way of telling you to tell him he has a son dumbass!' her mind argued with her. Kayla couldn't just call him at 11 at night on a Sunday and tell him he has a son, that's no way of doing this, she has to make the time and figure out a way of how she was going to tell him. She needed help, and she knew the one person she could count on for help, that was always there for her no matter what time it was, was Nikki. She smiled and dialed her best friends number, finally going to confess to her that she was going to tell Randy and Nikki was going to help her figure out how.

The next morning came and Kayla was downstairs making banana pancakes for her and Jacob, she had been up since 5am, she had to get her morning workout done and then have enough time to take a shower, get dressed and start breakfast for her and her big man. She had the monitor right next to her in the kitchen and she would look over at a sleeping Jacob every so often. It was right about the time for him to wake up and as she called it a couple seconds later Jacob was standing up in his crib calling out her name "Mama!" he was pause and bounce up and down "Mama!"

Kayla giggled watching her sweet boy and turned off the stove flipping the last pancake. "Im coming baby boy!" she hollered up the stairs. She made her way through the kitchen and up the stairs turning to Jacobs bedroom and penning the door, when Jacob saw her he was thrilled, he gave her a big smile and a laugh "MAMA!" he called out

Kayla laughed at his enthusiasm "Well somebody's in a good mood this morning." she stated lifting him up from the crib and carrying him on her waist "Breakfast? You ready for breakfast?" she asked

He just nodded and giggled and she took that to being his yes, he knew some words but not many yet, he had just turned one a few weeks ago, so she wasn't expecting him to know everything. She smiled and walked with him down the stairs on her hips and just as she finished strapping him to his high chair at the kitchen table she heard the door bell ring. She raised a brow and looked down at her son "I wonder who that is…" she question softly "Ill be right back hunnie." she told him and the ran for the front door.

As soon as she opened the door her expression changed to shock and a huge smile formed on her lips "John! Nikki!" She exclaimed happily "What are you guys doing here?"

Both Nikki and John laughed at her expression. John shook his head with a smile "What we can't come see our best friend since we are in town."

Kayla smiled "Of course but I didn't know you guys were in town, I actually thought you guys had a flight to take for Raw tonight to Nashville."

"We still do but we were in town for signings so we decided to come see our best friend.." John explained.

"And the cutest little boy ever!" Nikki shouted with glee.

Kayla just smirked and shook her head stepping to the side "Come in guys, I just finished breakfast."

Just as they walked in and the smell of banana pancakes hit the in the face, John walked nodded his head "Good cause I'm starving!"

Nikki followed right behind him "Yes and is that pancakes I smell?"

Kayla just laughed and rolled her eyes "Yes guys, Ill get you plates." she said following behind the couple and walking over to the cupboards grabbing two extra plates.

Nikki ran over to Jacob "Hey Jake!" she smiled brightly squeezing the toddlers cheeks and giving him a sweet hard kiss on the left cheek.

"Hey big man!" John followed right after her ruffling his hair a bit and watching as he waited for Kayla to serve him pancakes.

John soon turned his attention to Kayla who was cutting up a pancake into tiny bite size pieces to feed the to Jacob with a hint of syrup. "So Kay, I heard you want to tell Randy now?"

Kayla bit her lower lip and finished dicing the last pancake "Yeah…" she paused and turned to serve two more plates of pancakes to Nikki and John. "I realized I can't go on like this, the guilt hit me really hard the past few days."

"Tell him why." Nikki butt in as she grabbed the milk from the fridge.

Kayla sighed and rolled her eyes setting down a plate with five pancakes for John "Jacob said Daddy the other day."

John smirked looking down understanding her guilt now and then looking back up into her shamed face "Ahh I see why now…" He paused for a moment "With him now saying the 'D' word you can't stand not seeing him without a father."

Kayla nodded her head and then served Nikki a plate of two pancakes "Yes Exactly." she said sounding defeated and guilty.

"Kayla relax we are not judging you by any means." John began "But you know I am going to say that I saw this coming a long time ago!"

Kayla nodded and sat next to Jacob, grabbing a small piece of pancake and feeding it to him with her hand "Yes I know ad I feel like an idiot for keeping it from him, I see now what you guys meant…" She sighed but lifted a finger "However there were a few times where I did try to tell him."

Nikki nodded as she took a sip of the orange juice in front of her "Yeah well that the part that he's an idiot."

John gave Nikki a look while Kayla just rolled her eyes and continued to feed Jacob "Anyway, I don't just want to call him and tell him, I want to figure out some way of telling him in person."

John nodded "Agreed…"

"And you better do it soon cause let me tell you hunn, that boy is looking more and more like Randy as the days go by." Nikki stated and Kayla just looked over at her happy 1 year old chewing on a piece of pancake with his 8 teeth he had. She saw his icy blue eyes, his dirty brown hair and his smile that all matched Randy, he was truly his fathers son. "Yeah…" she commented softly.

Later that night:

It was now 10:00 at night and Raw had started over an hour ago. Nikki was still running around with the Divas while John and Randy were actually done for the night and sat in the locker room. John had just finished his promo and Randy had just finished his match, they sat in the locker room talking as John packed his things back in his bag and Randy untapped his wrists.

"I don't know man, she just keeps bringing it up." Randy sighed frustrated as he threw the tape from his wrists onto the floor.

John turned from packing his bag and looked at his best friend "Listen I know you have been with Kim for a little over a year now but to me, you don't seem happy." John paused and then laughed unamused "I mean how can you be when your madly in love with Kayla?"

Randy sighed and ran a hand over his face "Don't you think I fucking know that John?" he questioned "But what the hell am I supposed to do? Kayla is happy and has a kid with Dwayne!"

John shook his head and looked down at his half empty bag, he hated lying to Randy, he hated the fact that they had been lying to Randy for the past year, the only thing that made him feel better was that as soon as Kayla told him this would all be over "How do you know Kayla is happy? You don't know what happens behind the scenes."

Randy rolled his eyes "Man where have you been?" he questioned "They have a son together, and if she truly were unhappy she would have left him."

John raised a brow "You honestly believe that?"

"Yeah." Randy nodded his head taking a sip from a new water bottle "I mean its obvious."

John smirked and shook his head "Are you with Kim right now?"

Randy raised a brow confused by his question "Yeah…"

"Are you happy?" he questioned more seriously.

Randy just sat there and looked down at the ground with a sigh and rubbed the back of his neck unable to come up with an answer for Johns question. Its not like he was unhappy but he knew he wasn't the happiest he couldn't be, he was just going through the motions with Kim, as he know called it. Just as Randy was about to reply the knob on the door turned and it opened revealing a smiling Nikki, eyes deep into something on her phone.

Before John or Randy could say a word to her, her voice rang through the locker room "Kayla just sent me a picture of Jacob and I swear John, he is too cute…" she paused "And its a wonder too because he could be Randy`s twin." she stated with a laugh, amused by her own joke.

Johns eyes grew and his heart went cold, Nikki just fucked up, she just let the words fly out of her mouth, she didn't even think to look up from her phone and look around the locker room. He bit his lower lip fearful for the scene that was about to unravel. He shook his head "Nikki take a look around the room."

Randy stood up from the steel folding chair so quick it fell over, his eyes had turned grey and his stare as cold as ice "Wait…What the fuck did you just say Nikki?"

Nikki's heart stopped, she felt herself wanting to run away in the other direction but her legs would move. She bit her lower lip and squeezed her eyes shut. She fucked up. Big time! She closed her phone and slowly looked up to see a disappointed John and a very confused and pissed off Randy Orton. She swallowed the huge lump forming in her throat and shifted herself from on her right leg to her left "Uhm.." she paused "Hey Randy, didn't see you there."

Chapter 23! Finally Randy found out, Nikki just spilled the beans! What will happen? Whats Randy going to do? More importantly what will Kayla do when he confronts her. Was this the way you guys saw Randy finding out. Keep reading and reviewing, telling me what you think! Thanks again! :)
