Edge chuckled as he looked at the sleeping red head in front of him, today was the day that Lita would meet the rest of his family at his family's barbeque and all he had to do was make it look like Lita was really his fiancé, putting up the act in front of his family wouldn't be so hard, after all he and Lita kind of got along, "Sleeping beauty get your ass out of bed!"
Lita opened her eyes before groaning she really hadn't got that much sleep and she didn't want him bothering her, "Leave me alone."
"I can't do that Red, you see we have to be at the barbeque at one, its nine fifteen." Edge said as he looked at the clock on the wall.
"Yeah exactly it's nine fifteen." Lita muttered as she shoved her face into her pillow.
"Red I don't think you understand this, we need to get ready and walk all the way over to my parents' house." Edge replied as he thought about using water to get her up.
"You're parents live like five seconds away and it won't take four hours to get ready." Lita stated as she started waking up.
"We have to arrive at twelve thirty exactly, you will be picked apart by my family, posing in numerous photos, and you have to be nice."
"So?"
"So get up."
"I hate you."
"Okay just don't say that in front of the family."
"You are such-"
"An amazing guy, I know."
"I really hate you right now."
"Love you too Red now get your lazy ass out of bed."
"If I had the energy I would kill you right now."
"I'm sure you would Red."
"You're annoying."
"You're rude."
Lita rolled her eyes before climbing out of her bed, "So what exactly am I going to do until this barbeque starts?"
"Well you could always talk to me." Edge replied with a cocky smile, he needed to get to know Lita.
"Is there a second choice?" Lita asked, she didn't know if it was because she had just woken up or not but she was finding him extremely annoying.
"If you're going to be my wife don't you think you should actually know stuff about me?" Edge asked hoping that would get her to talk to him.
"Do I have to?" Lita asked, they were only going to be married for a year, she didn't need to get attached to him.
"No, but I think I'm awesome." Edge stated, everybody thought he was awesome.
"Sure you do." Lita responded sarcastically.
"You know you're really sarcastic." Edge stated, normally he didn't like sarcasm but something was different about it when it was her, it was hot.
"Really I hadn't noticed." Lita said before rolling her eyes, Edge was really different than what she thought, it would be easier to hate him if he wasn't so nice.
"Red." Edge replied in a fake warning tone.
"Edge." Lita copied the man in the same tone.
"Do you want to watch a movie or something?" Edge asked not wanting to accidentally get in a fight with her.
"That depends, what do you got?" Lita asked curiously.
Edge thought a minute, he really didn't want to watch a chic flick,"A lot of classics, The Breakfast Club is my favorite though."
"Seriously?" Lita asked not believing it, her last boyfriend hated it, with a passion.
"Yeah." Edge answered, starting to wonder if he should have just left it at classics.
"That's my favorite movie too." Lita replied.
"Never say we don't have anything in common Red."
"So do you think it's time we talked about how you've been acting lately?" Randy asked finally deciding to ask her about it after days of wondering.
"What are you talking about?" Mickie asked, she really didn't want him to know, not yet.
"You've been acting strange, making phone calls in secret, you went to the hospital yesterday." Randy replied thinking of all the reasons he was suspicious of her.
"How did you know about that?" Mickie asked, knowing for a fact that she hadn't told Randy about it.
"You're Aunt Ivory called, you left your bracelet there." Randy responded as he crossed his arms.
"Damn it," Mickie sighed, "look I'm not feeling that well so can we just talk about this later?"
"Is that why you were at the hospital, are you sick?" Randy asked concern growing in his voice.
"No I'm not sick I just-" Mickie rushed to a trashcan as she felt a wave of nausea.
Randy rolled his eyes before grabbing Mickie's hair out of her face, "You really seem fine to me."
Mickie wiped her mouth before looking at Randy, "I'm not sick."
"You just threw up." Randy stated, he didn't get why she wouldn't let him help her.
"Yeah but I'm not sick."
"Then why did you throw up?"
"Because I'm-forget it."
"No, what's going on?"
"It's your fault."
"What?"
"You did this to me."
"Mickie you're confusing me."
"If you would have been more careful we wouldn't be in this situation."
"What did I do?"
"You got me pregnant Randy."
Lita laughed as Edge stuck his fist up in the air at the end of the movie, "I can't believe you just did that!"
"What?" Edge asked as he took his fist down, it was a tradition that he did that.
"You ruined the movie." Lita said before laughing, she would never be able to get that image out of her mind.
"I ruined the movie?" Edge asked, "Strong words for someone who was talking through the entire thing."
"I was not!" Lita exclaimed, she may have said a few words but she didn't really talk.
"'Edge don't mess with the bull or you'll get the horns, hahaha.'" Edge mocked in a high voice.
"I don't sound like that!"Lita protested before playfully hitting him.
"Ever listened to your voice on tape?" Edge asked jokingly.
"Yes I have."
"Oh I'm sorry you had to hear that."
Lita playfully punched Edge, "Shut up ass."
"Whatever you say Red."
"Good I don't need to hear your voice right now." Lita said.
"What do you mean I was a member of the all male a cappella team in high school?" Edge asked about to show her his singing chops.
"Oh I had no idea you were gay, you know gay marriage is legal in some states if you want to mar-"
"I'm not gay!" Edge exclaimed, "I hate that stereotype."
"Sorry." Lita replied, adding a mental note not to make that joke again.
"And if I was gay would I have dated girls for years?"Edge asked before mentally smacking himself.
"Girls, so there was more than Torrie?" Lita asked as she felt increasingly uncomfortable.
"No I accidentally put on the s."
"Oh."
"Well what about you, have you dated any guys long term?" Edge asked trying his best not to make it sound awkward.
"I dated a guy named Matt for a bit, then a guy named John for a few months in college, he dumped me to get with this blond girl."
"Wait John Cena?"
"Yeah."
"You dated my mortal enemy!"
"Your mortal enemy?"
"Yeah he stole my girlfriend!"
Lita laughed, "You really are passionate about that, aren't you?"
"Yeah."
"You're what?" Randy asked in shock.
"I'm sorry, I know that you don't want kids and I know I should of told you when I first found out but I was scared."
"You were scared?" Randy asked, "Mickie no matter what I don't want you to ever be scared to tell me anything."
"So your not mad?"
"No, why would I be mad?"
"Because you don't want kids."
"Yeah but-" Randy stopped, he knew that Mickie wanted kids and a few days ago he had told Edge how much he didn't want kids not knowing that his girlfriend was pregnant and knowing his girlfriend she wouldn't want to get an abortion, "I need to think." Randy stated as he went towards the door.
"Wait Randy are you coming back?"
Randy stopped, he wasn't sure what he was going to do or where he was going to go but he needed some time to think, he didn't want to say anything that he would regret, "I don't know."
"Can we talk first?" Mickie asked as she felt her heart pounding.
"Let me think Mickie."
"Then think here," Mickie passed Randy, "don't worry I'm not coming back."
Randy sighed as he watched Mickie walk out the door, it didn't matter if he liked it or not, he was going to be father and the woman carrying his child was gone.
"Edge my main home slice!" Edge's cousin Chris called, "And this lovely piece of red must be your fiancé."
"Yes she is, Chris this is Lita, Red this is my cousin Chris."
"Well just so you know I have just as much money as him." Chris said with a smirk, "And I'm a hell of a lot better looking."
"Is that so?" Lita asked, "You get some girl to marry you so you could get your full inheritance?"
"Don't ask him that." Edge commanded, before sending Chris an apologetic look.
"My wife actually died a few years back, we were together five years." Chris responded.
"Oh my god I'm sorry." Lita stated feeling like a complete and total bitch.
"Don't be Stephanie is in a better place now."
"Stephanie?" Lita asked thinking of the ironic thing that her ex boss was named Stephanie.
"Yeah her name was Stephanie McMahon."
"Stephanie McMahon is still alive." Lita stated before wanting to put duck tape over her mouth once she saw Chris' face.
"I know but she's dead to me." Chris responded before walking away.
"I am such a bitch." Lita said as she felt horrible.
"Yeah you kind of are." Edge replied refusing to argue on that subject.
"Why did they get divorced?" Lit asked curiously.
"Chris had some problems a few years ago and instead of sticking with him Stephanie cheated on him."
"Oh, what kind of problems?"
"Red."
"Come on tell me."
"He got in a car accident and got addicted to his pain killers, Stephanie owes me one or a thousand for not going to the press with why they got divorced."
"What a bitch."
"I know."
"Adam!" Rachel exclaimed before hugging her son, "You must be Adam's fiancé."
"Yes, I'm Lita Dumas." Lita introduced herself.
"Well I'm Adam's mother."
"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Copeland." Lita replied forcing a smile at the woman.
"Rachel."
"Okay it's nice to meet you Rachel." Lita corrected herself as she replaced her fake smile with a real one, Edge's mom was nicer than she would have thought.
"Adam Lita I would love to chat but your Aunt and I need a word."
"Alright talk to you later mom."
"Certainly, Lita you and I have to get together and watch the stories one day."
"She would love that, she's always been a huge fan of Victor and Nikki." Edge stated before Lita had the chance to respond, knowing his mother she would love that.
"Ah, me as well, well until later."
"Who the hell are Victor and Nikki and how do you know anything about soap operas, I thought those were just for old people with no lives." Lita stated.
"Most people spent their childhood summers outside, but my sister and I always had to watch them with my mom."
"Well I guess that doesn't sound that bad."
"Lita Michelle and I had to watch eight soap operas a day most of which were an hour."
"Oh."
"You can laugh Red."
Lita laughed before smiling at Edge, "I'm actually kind of having fun."
"At the barbecue or with me?"
Lita slowly smiled, "Both."
Mickie couldn't think straight when she first began driving, she wasn't sure why she was going there but she had been her friend in the past so she was hoping that it wouldn't be a huge mistake, she took a breath before knocking on the door,
"Mickie."
"I'm sorry for coming here maybe I should just-"
"Come in."
"Thanks Randy and I got in this huge fight and I don't know where else to go." Mickie stated before wiping some stray tears from her eyes.
"Honey you know that you can always come to me with anything."
"Thanks Maria."
"It's no problem, tell me why did you guys get in a fight?" Maria asked as she showed genuine concern for her friend.
"Well remember a few days ago when you told me Randy never wanted kids?" Mickie asked figuring that she would start from there.
"That caused a fight, I'm so sorry I was angry and-"
"It's fine it was true, but sometimes you don't always get what you want." Mickie finished before looking at the ground.
"You're pregnant?" Maria asked in shock.
"I am." Mickie confirmed, but that was the first time she had actually embraced it though.
"Congratulations."
"Thanks, I wish Randy felt the same way."
"He freaked on you, just give me the order and I will kick his sorry ass back to where it came from." Maria sai
"He didn't really, he was more shocked than anything, he kept saying he needed to think but I'm pretty sure that was code for I'm leaving and never coming back."
"So he never really said anything about it?"
"No not really but I know him."
"I know you do but he loves you."
"Well maybe it will be better if I have the baby without him I mean can you imagine me telling him or her the way I met their father?"
Maria laughed thinking it would make Mickie feel better, "I'm guessing it would be along the lines of, 'well um he kept giving me alcohol to try and get me to not remember hooking up with him.'"
"It isn't the best love story."
"Look maybe Randy will come to his senses and realize that without you he isn't worth a thing."
Randy sat down on his couch as he thought about the events that had transpired between him and his girlfriend, he had never been that unsure of what to do. Kids had never been apart of his plan, sure he liked kids, but when people had their own kids they were always tired and cranky, they always had to put another person first. They couldn't stay out at bars all night, go to stupid plays where they couldn't even see the stupidity because their kid was in it. That was a difference between him and Mickie, she wanted to do that and he was entirely unsure.
"So you're the guy who tried to get me drunk last night?" Mickie asked as she spun around to face Randy.
"Actually I did get you drunk." Randy corrected her with a smirk.
"Whatever, does taking advantage of drunk girls make you feel like a man?" Mickie asked, she really didn't like Randy he seemed nice the night before but now he seemed like a grade A jackass.
"Yeah it does." Randy responded honestly, he figured honesty was always the best policy.
"You know all that means is that you're scared." Mickie stated.
Randy snickered, what did that girl know,"You a psychology major?"
"My dad is a psychologist."
"Then that explains why you're so messed up."
"Excuse me?"
"You're aloud to judge me but I'm not aloud to judge you?"
"You tried to get me to sleep with you."
"Look at me I'm hot, would you have really regretted it in the morning?" Randy asked as he gestured to himself.
"Yes because you're insecure." Mickie answered, she didn't like insecure men, in her mind they were weak, cowardly.
"Showing me your enter psychologist?" Randy asked as he rolled his eyes at the girl.
"Your parents are divorced." Mickie stated.
Randy straightened up, "How did you know that?"
"You lived with your dad, he constantly went through women, making you think there was nothing wrong with it, because of that your parents got into a custody battle and your mom ended up getting full custody, your mom managed to somewhat teach you how to treat women but it was too late because you learned it your father's way, then the first time you slept with someone she left you causing you never to want to feel the pain again so you adopted your dad's way of life."
"This is starting to get creepy, do you stalk me or something?"
"No your roommate filled me in on some of it, I got the rest myself."
"Oh."
"For the record I do think you can change."
"I don't want to change."
"Keep telling yourself that."
Randy smiled as he remembered the moment, he had changed and if there was any woman who he wanted to have a kid with it would be Mickie.
"Everyone gather around!" Rachel called as she tapped a spoon against her glass, "First of all everyone we are sorry that Richard couldn't make it, he is on an overseas business trip with Bob and they are currently working on branching out the business to France." Rachel paused while people slowly applauded, "Also I think we all would agree that we need to wish a congratulations to Adam and his lovely fiancé Lita," Rachel paused again for applause, "Now do you two have a date set?"
Edge looked at Lita who shrugged, "July 12th."
"Oh I see," Rachel looked at Lita's stomach before smiling, "Regardless I cannot wait to see my only son marry the woman he loves."
"Well it won't be that long." Edge once again responded, he was hoping that the date was convenient to Lita, but he was also beginning to feel a bit guilty about lying to pretty much everyone
"Lay one on her Edge!"
"No we don't really like public displays of affection." Lita said, she wasn't in a hurry to kiss Edge, she didn't want to kiss him at all actually.
"Come on dear its only one kiss." Rachel egged the two on.
"If you put your tongue in my mouth we will have a problem." Lita whispered before Edge kissed her.
"How was that Red?" Edge asked confidentially, he was surprised that he had done it so effortlessly and that it felt kind of natural.
"It wasn't horrible." Lita replied knowing that if she told him it was great it would just build his ego.
"Is that code for it was awesome?" Edge asked.
"No it's code for shut up." Lita replied.
