The next few days went by quickly. Randy had talked her into staying with him, especially after seeing where she lived. Her apartment wasn't in bad shape, but he didn't like the way the men would watch her. He helped Lexi gather up some of her things, they loaded up both cars, then went back and unloaded. They had spent the time off shopping for things for his house. He was quickly growing fond of Florida. His favorite part was how most of time Lexi would just wear her bikini top and a wrap around skirt. It provided easy access. Before he knew it, they were off to St. Louis for the pay per view. He was happy about returning the rental. Now he just had to talk Lexi into a road trip to get all his things to his new place.

"I just don't feel comfortable with it Randy. I really don't feel like knocking your ex-wife out." Lexi said as they entered the arena.

"Come on Lex. She won't even be there." Randy said.

"That's what she says Ran, but I know how women are. If she even thinks you are with someone else, she will be there." Lexi said.

"Well, she knows about you. She knew it even before I would admit it. Anyway, I don't think I could handle going and her having the other guy moved in already. Please Lex?" He asked, making her look into his eyes.
He looked so sad.

"Fine. I'll come." She said, loving how his eyes sparkled in that instant. Lexi leaned onto her tip toes and kissed him.
"I have to go get ready for my match. See you in a few." He watched her walked down the hall, and disappear into the women's locker room.
He hadn't expected it to be like this. He knew he had strong feelings for Lexi, but he thought once he took her to bed they would diminish at least a little. But his feelings got stronger. He hated being apart from her, even though she was in the same building as him. He didn't know how much longer he could hold off telling her how he felt.

The match was over, and Lexi felt like she was in a dream. The ref handed her the Diva's belt and raised her hand in victory. She tried to fight back the tears, but this was something she had dreamt about for years. Beth stood and shook her hand, then rolled out of the ring, and clapped for her, as she made her way back stage, leaving Lexi in the ring alone to celebrate. She climbed the ropes, raising her hands above her head, holding the belt high. She had come such a long way in a short time. She was wiping the tears from her eyes as she entered the back, only to have Randy's arms wrapped around her.

"I'm so proud of you." He said, wiping a stray tear off her cheek before kissing her.

"Thank you." She said.

"Seriously, Lex, you have got to be the most talented women I have ever seen in the ring. Absolutely amazing." He grinned, before pulled her lips back to his.

"Hey, aren't you two passed that honeymoon stage yet? I mean come on Lexi, you've seen him naked, that should have been enough for you." Cena chuckled.

"Funny Cena." Randy said.

"I just wanted to say congrats, but it looks like Randy beat me to it. I was coming here for a kiss too." John smiled, loving to get under Randy's skin.

"Well, I think Ran is heading to the ring, I have to get showered." Lexi said, kissing Randy as she pulled away from him.
"I'll see you in a few." She said to Randy, as she kissed Cena on the cheek.
"Later boys."

"Did you see that Orton? She kissed me. It won't be too much longer until she leaves you for me." John grinned.

"Don't count on it Cena!" Lexi shouted from down the hall.
"I'm very happy where I am."
The next morning Randy had woken her up in his favorite way. Placing sweet kisses all over her body.

"We gotta get up Babe. John and a couple other guys are going to meet us at the house."

"You keep doing that, we'll be late." She grinned, pulling the sheet up over her naked body.

"Hey now, don't block the view." Randy protested, pulling her to him.
"Think of the time we can save if we shower together."

"You know as well as I do, that never saves time." She said, pulling him to her.

"I know, I know, we're late. The alarm didn't work." Randy shouted out the window as they pulled up to his old house. The guys were already hard at work, loading up the rental truck. Randy pulled up and parked on the curb.
"Shit, Lex, she's here." He said, Lexi's eyes followed his to the stairs leading up to the front door.

"Maybe I should just stay in the car." Lexi said.

"No, just stay with me, or John. She won't say anything to you." Randy said. He got out and walked around, opening her door, taking her hand and pulling her out. The weather was warm for Missouri this time of year, in the upper 60's, but Lexi was freezing. She had on jeans, and a sweatshirt over top her tight t-shirt. Randy put his arm around her waist and lead her over to the rest of the guys. She couldn't help but look back towards the stairs, only to be met with the look of death. Lexi quickly turned her head. She wasn't one to want any problems, especially today.

"Hey Sexy Lexi." John smiled, pulling her into a hug.
"About time you two showed up, I can't imagine what kept you, Randall."

"I told you, the alarm didn't go off." Randy grinned.

"Yeah, you stick with that lame ass story, and get your ass to work. We've been here for almost an hour." John said.
"We got your bikes in, and strapped down, and started on the boxes that were in the garage. Sam hasn't been so nice."

"She wasn't even suppose to be here." Randy growled, picking up a heavy box and loading it in the truck. Everyone was working when Sam came over.

"There's more in the house. I couldn't carry everything out." She said to Randy. Lexi paid no mind, and continued doing what she was doing, which wasn't much, the guys wouldn't let her do hardly anything. She found herself mostly standing in the truck, leaning against the side, doing nothing at all.

"Alright, we'll be in there in a few minutes." Randy said, not even looking at her.
"Where's the TV?" He asked.

"I dropped it down the stairs." She smiled.

"What the fuck Samantha! That was a $5000 TV. I told you not to touch it, I would take it down." Randy said, his anger rising.

"Opps." She smirked.
"Its out back, well, whats left of it. You can take it if you want."

"That's just like you!" Randy started to yell.

"Randy." Lexi said.
He calmed down hearing her voice.

"I'm alright Lex." He said, taking a few steps back from Sam.
That's when she turned her attention to Lexi.

"Well, if it isn't the infamous Lexi. I would have figured he would have fuck you and moved on by now." She said glaring at Lexi.

"I guess you were wrong." Lexi said.

"Don't talk to her, Sam. You know she had nothing to do with this." Randy said, reaching up and grabbing Lexi hand, pulling her out of the truck.
"You want to do me a favor?" he asked Lexi.

"Sure." Lexi said still glaring at Sam.

"Will you help me get my bathroom packed up. I mean as long as that's ok with you, Sam, and you didn't break all my shit in there?" Randy asked.
Sam put her hands up.

"I have no problem with what you ask your skank to do."

"Skank?" Lexi asked, raising her voice, Randy grabbed her around the waist, not letting her move. He quickly pulled her into the house through the garage door.

"Don't let her get to you Lex." Randy said.

"She called me a skank, what am I suppose to do? She's lucky I didn't punch her in the fuckin' face." Lexi said, causing Randy to laugh. Randy pulled her up the stairs, and lead her to his room.

"Looks like she left this room untouched." He said, opening the door.
"Well, besides the TV." He showed Lexi the bathroom, and gave her some boxes.
"Just do what you can, I'm going to help the guys with the rest of the things from downstairs."

"So this was your room?" Lexi asked, looking around.

"Yeah, I had moved out of the master bedroom over a year ago. I figured I would just leave the bed and big furniture, seems how we had already gotten that stuff for the house." Lexi pulled her hair up in a sloppy bun and pulled her sweatshirt off, and tossed it on his bed.
"God, your so sexy." Randy smiled, pulling her to him, kissing her.
When his hands started up the back of her shirt, she pushed him away, smiling.

"We only have two hours to get this shit done. We all have to work tonight."

"I know, I just can't help myself around you." He grinned.

"Yeah, it's that skank appeal I have." She laughed.
Randy rolled his eyes.

"I'm closing this door." He said. Lexi popped in her earbuds and got to work. Within 30 minutes, she had cleared the bathroom and his closet and dressers. All that was left was the small table next to his bed. She pulled open the doors, and laughed as his porn magazines spilled out on the floor. She pulled out her phone and snapped a picture, sending it to him, with the message:
u still need these?
She filled the last box, and taped it shut as he came into the room.

"Damn, I forgot about those." He laughed, as she was writing the word PORN on the box.

"Yeah, sure. I bet you were just waiting to get those home." She laughed.

"Why would I need a picture, when I have you?" He smiled.

"Shut up. You have a lot of making up to do for making me do this for you. You know I only agreed because you said she wasn't going to be here." Lexi said, grabbing a big box to take it down stairs, but Randy took it from her.

"This is our last room. We've finished up down stairs. So we just have to finish this, then the movers will be on their way, and so can we." He said, kissing her quickly as he took the box down stairs. Before she could pick up another box the guys were in the room getting them. She walked to the bathroom and grabbed the bag of his things that he might need on the road, then got her sweat shirt, and went down to his car.
She stood there a while, enjoying the sunshine. Randy finally came to the car.
"I have to give her the keys and stuff. Come on." He said, grabbing her hand.

"Randy, I'm not sure I should be part of this. It's not like we got off on the right foot." Lexi said.

"No, come on, John is still here too, I don't want to make him feel uncomfortable all by himself." Randy smiled, pulling Lexi to his side, letting his arm slide around her slender waist, kissing her cheek as they walked in the house.
Sam was in the kitchen. Lexi stood back with John while Randy talked to her.
"Here's the house keys and the extra set for the other car. So we're done. If you find anything else, just call my lawyer." He said, turning to walk out.

"So that's it? This is how you're going to leave it, leave us?" Sam asked, standing up and walking over to Randy, reaching up and stroking his cheek.
John grabbed Lexi by the waist, as she had started towards them.
Randy stepped back from her.

"There is no us, not anymore." He moved back and blocked her from glaring at Lexi.

"But you were coming back to me right before we split up." Sam said.

"I promised Lexi I would try with you. By then it was too late, it would have never of worked, I had already moved on." He turned to Lexi and John.
"Come on, I'm starving." They all left.

After a little over a week on the road, they finally made it back to Florida, and began the task of unpacking everything. The boxes were stacked in the garage. It took three days to get everything unpacked and put away. Lexi was in one of the spare bedrooms putting away his last box of clothes when Randy walked in and handed her a black helmet.

"What's this for?" She asked.

"Grab your sunglasses and put some jeans on. I'm taking you for a ride." He grinned. She walked out and met him in the garage. Just when she thought she had seen him at his hottest, he looked like pure sex sitting on the bike. She felt her knees get weak, something that happened often around Randy, as she climbed on the back of the bike. She let her hands hold on to the sides of his t-shirt as he took off, but before long, she she let herself melt onto him. Her fingers had made their way under his shirt and wrapped around his muscular abs, while her cheek was pressed against his back. She had no idea where they had gone, or how long they had been gone. Her eyes were closed, as she enjoyed the closeness of their bodies. It wasn't until the bike shut off, that she opened her eyes and realized it had grown dark outside, and they were back at his place. He heard her groan.
"Whats wrong?" He asked.

"I wasn't ready to be back." She smiled.

"Yeah, well, your hands couldn't have gone much lower without causing me to wreck." He smiled, as she peeled herself off him and stepped off the bike, pulling off the helmet, and sitting it on the back of the bike.

"Why, Randy Orton, it seems like your complaining about where my hands were. I have never heard you complain about that before." Lexi grinned, shaking her hair out after pulling the elastic band out of it.

"When I stand up, you will see that I wasn't complaining. Just a little uncomfortable, I was hoping you could help me with that." He grinned, sitting his helmet and glasses on the bike that was next to the one they had been riding. He stood up and grabbed Lexi before she could take off, pulling her to him, as he sat back on the bike, kissing her.

The weeks started to blend together as the company started gearing up for Wrestle Mania. The touring had become a little crazy. It had been about two months since Lexi had even seen her apartment, when they had time off, Randy always had her staying with him. She was still Diva's champ, and was still loving her life.

"Hey Lex, are you ok?" Randy called from outside the bathroom door.

"Yeah. Just give me a second." She called, before her head went back into the toilet. She walked out a few minutes later, after brushing her teeth, to see a worried look on Randy's face.
"I'm fine." She said.

"You've been vomiting for ten minutes. I wouldn't call that fine." He said, handing her a bottle of water.

"I caught the flu from Nattie. I knew I shouldn't have held her hair last night while she was puking her guts out." Lexi said, smiling at Randy.
"I'll be fine. Just no kissing. I don't want you to catch it."

"Ha, I'll take my chances." He said, letting his lips find the certain spot on her neck that her knew drove her nuts. She let him lead her to the bed, before bolting up and running back to the bathroom. A few minutes later she emerged from the bathroom.

"I think I have lost the entire contents of my stomach." She said.
"Sorry." She frowned.

"Nah, we should have already left for the arena." He smiled.
"You're vomiting has kept us from receiving another speech about how tardiness will not be tolerated." He laughed, taking her hand as they left the hotel room.
"I don't think you should compete tonight." He said.

"I'm fine Randy. I promise." Lexi said, he could tell by her tone not to disagree with her.
Her illness continued over the next few weeks.
"This touring is really getting to me." She said, walking into makeup.
"I need some sleep, sorry about the circles." She said, pointing out the darkened circles under her eyes. She was always so tired, but couldn't sleep comfortably. Randy had pointed out that she was losing weight, but she ignored him. She had been training hard, and just chalked it up to that.
She walked out of makeup, yawning.

"Hey sleepy." Randy smiled, handing her a salad. Her stomach turned as soon as she saw it, she shoved it back at him.
"Lex, you have to eat. It's been days since I've seen you eat a real meal, and when you did, you threw it up. If this doesn't stop, I'll make you go to the hospital."

"I think it's just the touring and performing almost every night. It's just getting to me. I'm ok." She said.

"Yeah, I've heard that. But I can see that you're not." He said.

"If I'm not better, I'll make an appointment when we get home in a few days." She said.
He kissed her and handed her a bottle of water.

"I just worry about you." He said.

"I know, but I promise, I'm ok." She said. Her words were far from the truth, but she wasn't going to worry him if she could put up a front and hide how she was really feeling.
Randy had gotten back from his match. He had the lead off match. He was showered and dressed before Lexi was heading out to her match. He met her at the curtain, kissing her before she walked out. Lexi transformed into her character, pushing all her aches to the back of her mind. She entered the ring with Nattie, her opponent for the night. About halfway through the match, she knew something wasn't right. She started breaking out in cold sweats, but she finished the match, pinning Nattie. As she climbed the ropes, she started to see spots, then everything went black.

Randy knew he shouldn't have let her go out there tonight. He had a bad feeling about it. The match was almost over when he noticed that she wasn't steady on her feet. He could see her sweating more than usual. She had a distant look in her eyes as she climbed the ropes. He was on his feet to meet her at the curtain, then he saw her fall, and he dashed to the ring.

"Lex, Lexi, wake up." He yelled kneeling beside her.

"Give her some room Randy." The ref said, trying to pull Randy away from her.

"Don't fucking touch me." He said, shoving the ref away from him. It seemed like forever until the doctor got into the ring. He waved smelling salt under her nose, bringing her around.

"Lexi, I don't want you to move, the EMT's are here to get you to the hospital."

"I don't need to go to the hospital." She slurred.

"You're going." Randy said. Cena slid into the ring, pulling Randy back, so that the EMT's could take care of her.
"Let me go Cena." Randy growled.

"Not until they get her out of the ring. You'll get in the way. Let them do their job Randy."
Randy quit fighting, and hopped out of the ring, waiting for Lexi to be brought out of the ring. Randy held her hand the whole way to the ambulance. Lexi was in and out of it the whole way there. They had started an IV, saying she was dehydrated. But when they got to the hospital, he wasn't allowed in the room with her. He was ushered to a waiting room, where he sat for what seemed like hours.

"Alexis, I need you to wake up and answer some questions for me." The nurse said.

"Just give me a bucket. I feel like I'm going to throw up." Lexi said.

"Darling, I honestly don't think you have anything left in you to throw up." The nurse smiled, but she gave her a small tub. The nurse rattled off a list of questions. They drew blood and poke at her, before the doctor came in.

"Ms. Bradford?" he asked.

"Lexi." She said, she was sitting up, and feeling a little better than she had been.

"I think we've found the problem." He said. A few minutes later he was done explaining things to her.
"I'd say, according to the ultrasound, you're about 10 weeks. Is the man who came with you the father?"

"Yes." She said softly.

"Would you like to bring him back, I can tell him if you would like me too."

"No, I'll tell him." Lexi said, trying to comprehend what was going on.
"I don't understand, I'm on birth control. I have been so careful, how did this happen?"

"There is always a small chance. Sometimes these things just happen." The doctor said.
"The nurse will be in here in a few minutes. Then you can be on your way." He said.

"Well, congratulations." The nurse said walking in, she was smiling until she saw Lexi face.
"Oh, darling, everything will work out alright. This is a blessing." She said patting Lexi's hand.
"Just get some rest and eat. Also, no more in ring action."
The last thing Lexi had thought about was work. She was so worried about how Randy would react. How would she tell him.

"Hey, you ready?" She asked as she walked into the waiting room and found Randy with his head in his hands.

"Jesus Lex, what are you doing? You should be sitting down." He said, taking her in his arms. This was the one place she had always felt safe, now she wasn't so sure. She was terrified on how he would handle it, what he would say.
"What did they say?"

"Rest, and eat." She said, trying to force a smile.

"Come on, let's get you back to the hotel. Everyone has been calling me." He kissed her softly on the lips, and lead her to the cab. They stopped and got some food. When they got back, Randy catered to everything she needed.
"I was so worried about you." He said.

"I'm sorry I worried you." She said, kissing him softly on the lips.

"I love you Lexi." He said as he pulled his lips away from hers.

"What?" She gasped.
"Don't say it if you don't mean it Randy."
He placed his hands on both sides of her face, and made her look him in the eyes.

"I love you." He smiled.

"I love you." She whispered. Kissing him again.
Lexi managed to keep it down, at least for the night. When she woke up in the morning, after her daily bout of vomiting, she text HHH and John Laurinaitis, saying that she needed to have a meeting with them before the show today to discuss her condition. She still hadn't told Randy, she couldn't find the right words. They had left for the arena at their usual time. Lexi hadn't said anything to Randy about leaving the company yet either. She still brought her bag, not wanting Randy to wonder. Lexi went to put her things in the locker room, and made her way back to find Randy. She heard his voice coming from a small room. She was about to walk in when she heard what was being said.

"So you know what the rumor is?" John asked.

"What?" Randy asked him.

"That she's pregnant." John said.
Randy laughed.

"No she isn't. She hasn't said anything, and don't you think I would know?"

"What if she is?" John asked.
"Just think about it, man, you guys haven't been together for that long. That could really put stress on the relationship."

"She isn't pregnant. Anyway we have never even talked about kids, marriage, anything like that. I have never wanted kids, John." Randy said.
Lexi's breath was caught in her chest, she felt like she was going to pass out. How could she tell him now? She quickly walked away.
"If she was, man, I have never thought about it. How could I ever love anything more than Lex? I mean to think about a child with a mix of our features. Maybe I should talk her into having a baby." Randy grinned, standing to go find Lexi.

Lexi knocked on the door to the office where her meeting was. She had hoped that Randy would be joining her, but after hearing him say he didn't want kids, she was now wondering if she would ever be able to tell him.

"Hey Lexi. how are you feeling?" Hunter asked.

"I feel like I'm going to vomit, to tell the truth." She said taking a deep breath.
"There is no easy way to say this than to just come out with it. I have to leave WWE."

"What? Why?" Stephanie asked, walking out from a door that was connected to the office.

"I'm pregnant." She blurted out.

"Is Randy the father?" Stephanie asked.

"That's a private matter, all of this is, and I would like it to stay that way." Lexi said.

"Of course." Hunter said.
"We can have the writers write something up for you real fast."

"No, I know what to say." She said.

"Alright, well, get ready, you're the first one out tonight." Hunter said.
