Chapter 9
Randy stood there and cradled Alyssa as he took in the news that his fiance was pregnant. This was definitely not in their plans. But it didn't take long before Randy realized that no matter what they would be ok. Sure three kids under 5 would be a lot of work, but he had always wanted a large family.
"How far along?" Randy asked.
"9 weeks according to my lab work. Which puts the conception date that first night." Cassie answered. "Please don't be upset about this. I know this wasn't planned."
"Baby, I'm not upset. In fact I'm happy. I've always wanted a house full of kids. It wont be easy, but we can do it. You had better call Vince and tell him that you wont be returning to the ring anytime soon." Randy responded.
"Ok. I love you, Randy." Cassie stated.
"And I love you." Randy responded.
"After I call Vince, why dont we head to the Ranch." Cassie stated.
"Ok. I'll start packing for the girls." Randy agreed.
Cassie walked into the office and closed the door. Randy headed upstairs with the girls and put Alyssa in her crib. While Randy was packing for the girls, Cassie placed a call to Vince. At the same time that she was talking to Vince, Randy's phone rang. It was Samantha's parents.
"Hello." Randy answered his phone.
"Randy, It's Martin. We have some bad news for you and the girls." Martin stated.
"What is it?" Randy asked as he sat down in a chair.
"Alice and I made the decision to take Samantha off of life support. There was no reason to keep her on it after the doctors told us there was no signs of life within her. She died this morning." Martin answered.
"I'm sorry to hear that. I was really hoping that she would pull through. When is the service?" Randy asked.
"Today is Tuesday, Thursday is the funeral. It will be closed casket as she doesn't look like she did." Martin answered.
"Ok. We'll be there." Randy responded before hanging up. "Alanna, I need to go talk to Cassie for a few minutes. Can you stay in here and play and keep an eye on your sister please?"
"Okay Daddy." Alanna stated.
Cassie was sitting in the office waiting for Vince to answer his phone. She loved Vince, but she also feared him. Her heart raced as soon as she heard his voice on the other end. Cassie took a deep breath before saying anything.
"Vince McMahon." Vince answered.
"Hi Vince. It's Cassie." Cassie stated.
"How's my favorite Diva?" Vince asked. "Are you ready to make your come back?"
"That's what I needed to talk to you about." Cassie answered.
"Why? What's up, Cassie?" Vince asked as his tone of voice changed.
"I can't make my come back." Cassie answered.
"And why not?" Vince asked getting irritated.
"I'm pregnant." Cassie answered waiting for Vince to explode.
"I'm gonna kill Orton." Vince fumed.
"Please don't. I love him and he loves me. Plus someone needs to be around to help with the girls." Cassie responded.
"Girls? Oh thats right, Samantha had another baby with him. What's her name?" Vince asked.
"Alyssa Elaine Orton." Cassie answered.
Ok. Cute. I take it you are at Orton's house in St. Louis?" Vince asked.
"Yes. As a matter of fact Randy is sitting across the room from me." Cassie answered.
"Put him on. And Cassie, if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me or Stephanie." Vince stated.
"Will do. Thank you Vince." Cassie stated as she passed the phone to Randy and ran to the bathroom.
"Hello Vince." Randy stated.
"Orton, what am I going to do with you?" Vince asked.
"Love me." Randy answered with a smirk on his face.
"I see that smirk, Orton. You better take care of those girls and that baby on the way." Vince stated.
"I always will." Randy responded. "Since I have you on the phone, I wanted to give you an update on Samantha's condition. Her parents made the decision to take her off life support and she died this morning."
"I'm sorry to hear that. Please give the family my condolences. Keep me posted on things there." Vince stated.
"I will. Thank you." Randy stated before hanging up.
As Randy walked out of the office, Cassie came out of the bathroom. Cassie could tell that something was wrong by the look on Randy's face. She walked over to him and he pulled her into a hug.
"Randy, what's wrong?" Cassie asked.
"Samantha died this morning." Randy answered.
"Oh no. Have you told Alanna yet?" Cassie asked.
"No. I don't know how to tell her that her mommy is gone." Randy answered.
"I'll go with you to tell her." Cassie stated as they headed upstairs.
"Alanna, come here sweetie." Randy stated as he sat on her bed.
"Yes, daddy?" Alanna asked.
"I have something to tell you and you're not going to be happy." Randy answered.
"Why?" Alanna asked as she started to back away from her father.
"Your mommy won't be coming home from the hospital at all." Randy started to tell her.
"Why?" Alanna asked with tears in her eyes.
"She went to heaven to be with God, sweetie." Randy answered.
Alanna turned and looked at Cassie who had tears streaming down her face. Alanna walked over to Cassie and climbed in her lap and burried her face into her shoulder and cried. It hurt Randy to tell his little Princess that her mother was gone, but he had to tell her. Cassie talked to Alanna and got her to stop crying as hard. Cassie explained that it was ok to be sad and to miss her mommy. Alanna nodded her head and asked to go to the Ranch as she didn't want to be there anymore.
