Ride For You
Chapter 9
A few weeks later…
Randy sat in his office inside of his house. He was looking over the upcoming scripts that he was supposed to be working on. The past couple of weeks had been the greatest as well as the strangest. Rachelle was doing better and she was walking around on her own to much delight. She was learning to cope with living in the house again. Randy remembered the morning after she had woke up in their bed. She had freaked out and had gone crazy. It was as if she was seeing a ghost. She had told Randy that she wanted to go to her house and that she didn't feel comfortable being around him. Randy could understand where she was coming from. If he were in her shoes, he wouldn't even be comfortable with being around himself after all the things that he had done to her.
It had taken the help of Ted DiBiase Jr. and his wife, Kristen to get Rachelle to stay at Randy's house or in actuality their house. They had promised to visit her whenever they got the chance and that they did. They almost spent most of their time over because Kristen and Rachelle got along just the same way that Ted and Rachelle had gotten along when they first met each other. Randy had become thankful for Ted and his wife because they had been great help with Rachelle. Cody had also been someone who helped Rachelle out too. He and Rachelle had become friends when Randy had to leave to go to a signing and Ted and Kristen had some other family business to attend to. Rachelle had never realized how much she had in common with the youngest member of Legacy.
Linda and Vince visited Rachelle every chance they got as well. They brought her gifts to keep her on her feet. Shane and Marissa helped Randy out as well by taking Rachelle out with them every now and then. Stephanie and Paul took Rachelle to their house every now and then. Rachelle was back to her bubbly self and everyone noticed it. Rachelle's friends visited her often too on their days off. The person who they saw the most amongst Rachelle's friends was John. Of course that was because John was close to the couple and he loved their children.
As Randy had thought about how the past couple of weeks had been the best for him, he thought about all the things that he had done over the course of the weeks that he had off. He and Rachelle were on some sort of civil relationship. They spent a lot of time acting like a family. Randy had taken them all to watch a movie then treated them out for dinner. Rosella and Ryan seemed to be growing up in front of their eyes so quickly. He remembered the day that they were born. He remembered the tears that he had shed on that day. They were absolutely heaven sent. Randy couldn't believe that he and Rachelle had created them. They had the perfect combination of their parents. Ryan took after his father in looks and personality but still had Rachelle's caring and sensitive heart. Rosella was a spitting image of her mother. She had black hair, blue eyes, and had her mother's personality but she had Randy's determination to succeed. Ryan had the brown hair and blue eyes appearance. His smile came from his mother but his nose was that of his father.
Randy wasn't too sure about his feelings. Lately, he had been feeling so great about life. Almost like his whole life was complete again with Rachelle in his life though it was not as his wife, he was still happy. He was willing to accept having her in his life in anyway as long as she was part of his life. He looked at the picture on his desk. It was a picture of the twins when they had turned 1. They had taken a family portrait in the studio because Rachelle insisted that they take one in order to look back at them again in the future. Randy was glad that they did. He never got tired of looking at the picture. He smiled and started to wonder what Rachelle and the twins were up to. The house was pretty quiet. He got up from his seat and made his way towards the door. He made his way up to the Rosella's room and when he opened the door, he saw Rosella trying to climb out of her crib. He laughed at his daughter before walking over to her crib and picking her up.
"Where do you think you're going, Rose?" Randy asked his daughter as she nuzzled his neck obviously trying to find a comfortable position to rest her head.
"To mommy." He heard Rosella mutter.
"Is that so? How were you going to open the door?" Randy asked.
"Me no know." Rosella responded as she lifted her head off his shoulder.
Randy chuckled at his daughter's answer.
"Me too, Rose. I have no idea how you would have opened that door. What do you say we go check on Ryan before we visit mommy?" Randy asked.
"Otay, daddy." Rosella said as Randy walked out of the room and headed towards Ryan's room.
Randy opened the door to his son's room. He walked over to Ryan's crib and noticed that Ryan was still asleep.
"Daddy, Ry till asweep?" Rosella asked in a hushed voice.
"Yeah. Let's let him sleep longer." Randy said as Rosella nodded her head.
Randy carried Rosella out the room and shut the door. They were now going to head over to the master bedroom where Randy assumed Rachel would be. He opened the door and heard Rosella giggle at what she saw. Randy followed her gaze and chuckled to himself as well. Rachelle was asleep on the bed. Randy walked over to the bed and placed Rosella on the bed. Rosella crawled over to her mom. Rosella poked her mom in the arms.
"Mommy." Rosella whispered.
"Hmm?" Rachelle groaned out.
"Me wanna watch movie wif you and Daddy." Rosella said as Rachelle opened her eyes.
"What movie do you wanna watch, Rose?" Rachelle asked as Randy sat on the bed.
"Peter Pan." Rosella said.
Randy looked at their daughter.
"Why don't you go grab the move, Rose? Mommy and I are gonna talk about something while you look for the movie in the family room, okay?" Randy asked.
"Otay, Daddy." Rosella said as Randy helped her off the bed.
Rachelle and Randy watched as she walked out of the room. Rachelle looked at Randy.
"What do you want to talk about?" Rachelle asked.
"I know that you don't want to talk about this but I really want to know who hurt you, Rae? Who attacked you in the locker room when you and I were supposed to fight in the ring?" Randy asked.
