Chapter 19 - Fast Forward to A New Arrival
July 2008
I was sat on my nice comfortable bed hand behind my head, my back resting against the headboard and my feet up in my hotel room in Chicago watching TV and chilling out on a rare night off dressed in some blue sweats and a white tank top, my hair pulled up into pigtails. I continually flicking through he channels to find something decent to watch when I come across a showing of Miss Congeniality playing, I set the remote down on the bed next to me and decided to watch the flick.
It was a little after 4 in the afternoon and I wasn't in the mood for going out.
So much had gone on over the past 8 months John had gotten hurt not long after Randy's wedding and was out for a few months with a torn pec then returned at the Royal Rumble at the surprise 30th entry and going on to win his first rumble. He had another short feud with Randy as after John got hurt Randy became the champ and had a good title run.
I took some time off and went with him to Birmingham, Alabama to see Dr. Andrews who has worked on many superstars over the years including yours truly, I was there when he went into surgery holding his hand and giving him comforting words and was still there when he woke up. For some reason his so called fiancée couldn't make it and be his side as he went something so frightening, I as the next best thing besides I'd been through it all so who better than to help and support him than his best friend.
Dave had a couple of World Heavyweight title runs too over on SmackDown before last month being drafted back to Raw.
At One Night Stand this year Randy injured his collarbone breaking it in a match against Triple H and is still out of action now.
And last but not least my brother returned to couple of times making appearances and being a special guest ref at Cyber Sunday and in December 07 returned for Raw's 15th anniversary show.
Dave was even drafted to Raw which was great as I had all 3 boys on the same show even though Randy was injured.
Oh and what I didn't tell you was that Randy and Sam are expecting their first baby any week now so Randy being injured is kind of a blessing in disguise so he can be with Sam during the last weeks and days of her pregnancy and be there for the birth of his daughter although I do need him to do some work for me in a few weeks time.
I was just nodding off to sleep when I hear 'Voices' by Rev Theory blasting through the room, I quickly shake off my tiredness and scoot off the bed towards the table where my phone is lying I pick it and press the answer button before placing it next to my ear
"Hello" I answered kind of groggy
"Hey Em it's Randy" I heard the deep voice say
"I know it's you silly" I giggled
"Oh yeah the ring tone right" he chuckled
"Yeah. What's up sweetie haven't heard from you in a while" I said sitting up and stretching my free arm
"Sorry Em but I kinda can't chat right now" he said and I scrunched my nose in confusion as to why he was calling if he didn't wanna talk
"Well why did you call?"
"Because Sam's water broke" he said calmly
"Oh my god! The baby's coming! I'm on my way just keep calm" I said climbing off the bed and hurrying round my room trying to find my shoes
I heard Randy chuckle down the phone "I am calm Em it's you that's needs to breathe and stay focused, she's fine just get here as soon as you can and bring the guys"
"Alright we'll be on the next plane out see you soon and give Sam my love"
"Will do"
I hung up and eventually found my shoes I text Vince to tell him what's going on and he called me and told me to be back on Monday as today was Friday.
I quickly packed up all my clothes and belongings and phoned the airline to book 3 seats on the first plane to St. Louis. Luckily there was one leaving in 2 hours just enough time to get the boys and get to the airport.
I quickly left my room and headed downstairs to the hotel bar where I knew Dave and John were having a drink, they were laughing and joking about something when I ran up to them out of breathe, they saw the distraught look on my face.
"Baby girl what's wrong?" Dave asked with concern
"Randy…Sam…..water…..broke….gotta go now" I said in between breathes bending over and catching my breathe back
"Hold on what did you say?" John asked catching on
"Sam's water broke, we gotta go now" I said informally before they quickly finished their drinks and followed me back upstairs.
We headed back to our rooms and I waited while the boys packed, I informed them I took care of our travel arrangements and Vince.
We got to airport in one piece and hopped on the plane and after a short journey got in a rental and headed to St. Louis University Hospital.
We walked to reception desk me in front the boys slightly behind me looking like my bodyguards, I approached the desk so see a little brunette who must of been only in her early twenties typing away at her computer. I noticed her name badge that read Nicole. She sensed a presence and looked up smiling, her smile soon disappeared and was replaced by shock as she sat with her jaw dropped. I cocked my head to the side in wonder then realised why she might be a little out of it: she was a wrestling fan but wait didn't she see Randy earlier?
I decided to break the tension.
"Hi" I smiled
"Hi, I'm sorry you guys caught me by surprise, I'm a big fan of all of you guys wasn't expecting to see you here of all places." she smiled looking behind me to catch a glimpse of the boys behind me who hadn't even noticed her as they were too busy chatting away like two women. "How can I help you?" she then asked sweetly
"That's ok. Can you please point us in the direction of the maternity ward we're here to see Sam and Randy Orton as you kind of already guessed"
"Yeah, if you down the hall the elevators are on the left if you take that to the 6th floor you've hit the maternity ward, the family room is there however Mr. and Mrs. Orton are in room 733" she told me
"Thank you so much darlin'" I said to her before turning round to the guys "Come on you two"
I followed the directions the lovely receptionist give us with the boys following closely and came up with an idea for a thank you for her help, I know she just doing her job, this might make her day though.
We got to 6th floor and decided to head to family room first to see if anyone was there and there was, we were greeted by both Randy's family of his mom Elaine, dad Bob younger brother and sister Nate and Becky and Sam's mom, dad and siblings.
We all took a seat and began chatting amongst ourselves, I took a seat next to Bex
"Is Randy ok then Bex?"
"He's handling this well surprisingly, honestly I was expecting him to be freaking out"
"Agreed, how dilated is she?"
"About 6 centimetres, well that was the last update Randy gave us just before you guys got here so we still could be here a while"
"Wow got here just in time, can I go and see them?" I asked and she nodded
"Sure I'll take you there" she answered standing up with me following
"Thanks Bex"
She took me to their door and left me to go back to her family, I knocked softly on the door before opening it and peeping my head round the corner to make sure the coast is clear
"Hey guys" I smiled walking into the room and closing the door behind me
"Emma!" I walked over and hugged her carefully "I'm so glad you're here"
"Wouldn't miss it for the world"
"Hey Killer" I said to Randy
"Hey babes"
"How we doing then?" I asked taking the seat on the opposite side of the bed to where Randy was and holding Sam's hand I heard her groan
"Horrible I'm so sick of waiting now I wish she would just come" she rolled her eyes playfully
"It won't be long sweetie, she's just picking the right moment. You know she has to make he entrance"
"Don't fill me full of bull Em I've had that all night" she said letting the hormones get to her
"Sorry" I said not wanting to touch a nerve "You ok? you're really quiet" I asked Randy who was extra quiet
"Just fine enjoying the moment" he smiled
"Ok who are you and what have you done with Randy Orton" I joked just as a wave of pain washed across Sam's face
"Oh my god Sammie you ok?" I asked
"She's just having contraction Em" Randy told me
"You want me to go?" I asked thinking I was in the way
"No just keep holding her hand" I did as I was told as the contraction came Sam squeezed my hand so tight I thought I heard a bone crack, I bite my lip, I was tough but Jesus Christ that hurt.
She stopped screaming and was breathing heavily the contraction obviously over with the pressure on my hand lightened.
"I'm sorry Em" she said apologetically after the contraction was over
"It's ok. My god women I thought I was tough you got quite a hold on you there." I said clenching and unclenching my fist
"Maybe you have competition when you get back" she laughed
"Could maybe well have" I played along waiting for Randy to react
"Oh no you don't" he said sternly as Sam and I laughed.
I chatted a little more informing them John and Dave were also here and would catch up with them later I left them I privacy for a while I walked back into the family room and remembered my idea.
"This is gonna sound so stupid, does anyone have any paper and a pen?" I asked the room
"You're right that is stupid" John said pulling a smart ass expression I pulled my tongue out at him
"I do I always carry some in my bag, you never know" Elaine said reaching down to the floor and retrieving her bag, I walked over to her
"Thanks Mrs. O " she handed me a notepad with a handful of pages left in it and a pen. Perfect I thought "Do you mind if I use it all?" flipping the pages
"Course not dear"
I opened it to the first page and began writing
"To Nicole
Thanks for your help
Best wishes
Then scribbled my signature
I stood up and walked over to Dave and held out the notepad not before turning to a fresh page
"Can you sign this please Dave?"
"Are you asking me for my autograph?" he raised an eyebrow
"No don't be stupid. It's for the girl downstairs on reception she told me she was wrestling fan. Here name's Nicole"
He nodded in understanding taking the pad and pen and writing
"To Nicole
Thanks for your support
Keep being an Animal lover"
Then he scribbled his name
He handed me the book back a I scanned what he wrote and laughed shaking my head. I walked to where John was chatting away with Nate. He looked up smiling that adorable smile of his
"Are you mad at me for that stupid comment?" he put on those puppy dog eyes that he knows gets me everytime
"No I'm used to you now, sign this for the girl on reception her name is Nicole"
"Oh so that's what you're up to. You're so cute when you're generous." he said trying to butter me up "Sure anything for you Shorty"
He took the book and turned to a clean page before writing
"To Nicole
Thanks for being a loyal Chain Gang Solider
I salute you lol
Love"
And scribbled his name
"Thanks dimples"
I had another short brainwave and asked bob for his autograph too, she might be too young to remember him thought 'what the hell' I thought.
He happily signed it so all I needed was Randy's signature. I was just about to go and ask him when my phone vibrated in my pocket telling me it someone was calling. I gave the pad to Dave and asked him to get Randy's autograph while I stepped outside and took the call. I headed in the elevator and down the hall heading outside.
"Hello" I answered leaning against a wall taking in the cool air, it was nearing 9pm and beginning to feel chilly outside.
"Hey honey, how you doing?" I heard the southern accent of my mom say down the phone, I smiled
"Hey mom, what's up?"
"Well I was wondering when you're coming home next, I miss my baby girl"
"I miss you too, I'm not sure maybe next weekend, I'll see what I can do. After Raw on Monday I'm heading to SmackDown on the Tuesday then I'm back at Headquarters will Friday so with all the luck I can get home Saturday"
"That's good. You're father says hi and he misses his pumpkin"
"Tell him I say hi and I miss and love him too"
"I will, where are you anyway sounds like you're in a parking lot" she asked curiously
"I am. Randy wife Sam went into labour so I'm in St Louis at the hospital"
"Aww well send them my love" she gushed. I saw Dave come outside motioning for me to hurry
"Look mom I gotta go, love you and see you soon" I said quickly
"Bye honey take care"
"You too" I said before ending the call
"What's wrong big guy?" I asked Dave
"Sam's gone into labour"
"You mean she's started pushing?"
"She's going in for a C section. Here's the autographs back" he handed the book
"Thanks" I flipped through and saw Randy had signed the last page, I smiled and walked with Dave back through the main entrance of the hospital
I approached the reception again to give the young girl her gift. She looked up and smiled at me
"How can I help you Miss Austin?" she smiled
"Please sweetie call me Emma. I came to give you this" I handed the notepad to her which she took and began to look through her face light up and she read every page
"Oh My God thank you all so much, this is the best gift I've ever gotten. Would it be so inappropriate to get a picture with you and Batista since you guys are down here" she asked
"Of course not darlin'." Dave answered and she blushed, she pulled her cell phone out of her desk draw and walked round to the other side of the desk, she asked on her colleagues to take the picture which she was happy to do and handed her the phone. I stood on one side of her and Dave stood on the other while we posed for a few pictures with her.
When we were done she looked through the pictures and smiled
"Thank you guys so much you have made my day" she gushed looking at the pics
"You're welcome cutie we might even get Cena down here later if you want" Dave told her causing to smiled even more
"I'd love that if it's not too much trouble you've already done enough, thanks again"
"Bye" Dave and said in unison as we made our way back to the maternity ward, I felt pretty good knowing we made someone's day, it's the reason why we do what we do, a little gesture goes along way. Dave and I chatted about it on the way back to family room.
When we got back everyone was still waiting patiently for some news if baby girl Orton had arrived safely yet but no one had heard anything, I took a seat next to John and leaned on his shoulder
"Everything ok?" he asked
"Yeah just my mom calling me to see when I'm going home next"
"Ok"
I must of drifted off to sleep cause the next thing I know John's gently shaking me
"Em wake up" I heard him whisper
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong, she's here"
"Really?" I beamed sitting up and he nodded
"Yeah Sam got took in to have a C section" even know I already knew that concern crossed my face "Don't worry she's ok"
"I wanna see her"
"Orton's family are seeing her first babe, we can see here in a minute"
"Ok. How does it feel Dave?" I asked looking over at him
"I don't know what the women feels like…" "But from the man's point of view it feels incredible to know you have a little life that you'll love for the rest of your life" he said softly obviously thinking about his girls
I smiled at how he talked about the subject obviously thinking about his own daughters when they were born.
"I know when Steph and Cas were born I'd never seen my Steve the way I saw him when they arrived, it's like he was someone totally different"
The door opened and Elaine came through
"You can go see her now"
We nodded and stood up
"Hi ya'll" I whispered as we quietly entered the room
"Hey"
I walked over and hugged Randy first
"Congratulations Daddy" I held onto him tight
"Thanks Em" I let go and John and Dave hugged him in a guy way before I sat down on the chair next to Sam's bed while the boys sat down on the other side
"How you feeling?" I asked Sam
"Sore and tired" she laughed softly "There's someone I want you to meet Aunt Emma meet Alanna Marie Orton" she smiled passing the small baby pink bundle to me, I gently took her in my arms and looked down at her for a slight second
"Hi Alanna" I whispered grinning like mad before looking back at Sam surprisingly after I realised what she said
"Marie?"
"Yeah she has the same middle name as her Aunt"
"She's beautiful" I rocked her gently from side to side "Hello there my little cupcake" I whispered stroking her tiny little hand with my own, she suddenly then grabbed my finger with her whole fist and gripped as tight as she could, I smiled brightly down at her at the gesture
"I think she likes you" Randy said
"Well I love her she's amazing, she looks like you Rands" I said studying her tiny face she was yet to open her eyes although I'm sure they were the same blue as her dad's.
"Wait a minute Alanna? Isn't Fit Finley's daughter called Alanna too?" I asked realising
"Yeah we kinda borrowed the name, we couldn't agree on any other and thought Alanna was perfect" Sam explained
"So both of her names are 'borrowed' as you put it?"
"You look pretty comfortable with her Shorty" John said after a few minutes
"John's right you do" Sam interjected
"I'm sure you'd make a great mom someday Ems" Randy then piped in
"Me? I don't think so. I'm not what you would call maternal" I shrugged still holing onto the gorgeous baby
"Why not? We hear the way you talk about you're nieces and you're great with them" Dave then had his say
"I dunno I just never thought about it before been too busy kicking ass" I laughed "Anyway stop ganging up on me it's about this little cutie pie"
"Alright we give just trying to compliment you" John said defending them
I continued to stare at the gorgeous little creature in my arms.
"Have you heard all of them sweetie? They're picking on you're Aunt Emma, I think me and you need to team up and take them on" I giggled still looking at the gorgeous little girl in my arms as she rested peacefully.
We chatted for a little while longer while John and Dave both took a turn to hold the baby before Randy took hold of her again, she looked so lost in all of their arms since they were all so big and she was so small.
Sam took her back to try and rock her to sleep, it had been a busy night for the little thing.
"Hey Rands can I talk to you outside for a sec?" I said after a while, I thought this seemed like a good time as any to bring this up.
"Sure" he kissed Sam quickly and Alanna gently on the forehead before following me outside
"What's up Em?" he asked once we were outside
"It's nothing serious, I'm sorry to bring this up now"
"What is it?" he asked curiously and I sighed deeply
"I need you to go on a European tour in October to promote the new game and get some interviews in about your return. I argued with Vince that you shouldn't of been the one to go he was having none of it though claming you were perfect choice to do this. I'm sorry sweetie I tried my best to get you out of it knowing Sam was nearly due" I explained. That's what I hate about this position giving bad news.
"I can't believe this, for once I wanna put my family before my job and I can't do that" he said with a slight annoyance in his voice and rightly so.
"I'm so sorry" I said quietly and apologetically
"It's not your fault. I appreciate you arguing on my behalf. Any other time would be ok just not now you know?" I nodded understanding
"Yeah it's not for few months so you have time to spend at home before going, I thought I would give you a heads up. It'll only be for about 10 days to about 2 weeks. It starts in Europe somewhere than you end it in the UK before coming back to the States and heading to Florida to possibly shake off the ring rust" I said hoping that would be good news
"Well at least that's good to hear at least" he smirked
"I know this was a crappy time to bring this bull up and tell you it's just it's the first time I've seen you for a while and notice how he got me to tell you"
"Duly noted Ems" he said before hugging me, I felt guilty knowing he has to leave his brand new family to head across the pond. There was nothing I could do. I'll try and make it up to him somehow. On the bright side he had a beautiful little baby daughter now and will do anything to provide for her and his wife.
