Ride For You
Chapter 12
After Randy and Rachelle found the twins, the family decided to hang out in Legacy's locker room until it was time for Randy's match. The twins were playing with their toys on the ground and Rachelle sat with Randy on the couch watching on. This was what her life should have been like. Spending time with her husband and children. Even though she was happy to be with Randy, she was still worried about their relationships. They were just friends and she didn't know if she was ever ready to be with him again. Yes there was chemistry between them but he had put her through so much that she wasn't sure. What if he cheated on her again? What would she do then?
Randy watched as Rachelle got lost in her in own thoughts. He wondered so much what she was thinking about. He wondered what would happen to them after the situation with Kurt and Samantha came to an end? Would they be together? Would she be willing to give them a try? Yeah Rachelle and him seemed to act like a couple now but Randy didn't know how long it was going to last. What if Rachelle's feelings were only temporarily? Was that even possible? He was ready to admit that he was in love with her again. He knew that he didn't ever want to lose her again. She was the most important thing in his life along with Ryan and Rosella. They were his family and his world.
Rachelle felt her phone ringing and pulled her phone out of her jeans. She looked at the screen and noticed that it was her sister calling. She looked at Randy.
"It's Stephanie." She told him as he got up.
"I'll go keep the twins occupied on the floor." He said as she nodded her head.
Randy placed a kiss on her head before walking over to his kids. Rachelle answered the call and watched as Randy and the twins bonded together.
"Hey Steph." Rachelle said.
"Hey Rae. How are you?" She asked.
"I'm good. How are you? I haven't talked to you in a long time." Rachelle said.
"I'm good. Look there's a reason I called you." Stephanie said.
"Yeah I kind of got that from your phone call, Steph." Rachelle said.
"Well Dad wanted me to tell you that he wants me to take Ry and Rose for the night." Stephanie said.
Rachelle looked at Randy, who avoided making eye contact with her. Something was going on and she wanted to know what it was. She had a feeling Randy was part of this little plan that was going.
"Why? I'm not doing anything tonight." Rachelle said.
"Hey I'm only doing what Dad told me to do. If you have a problem with it, you tell him that but I'm picking Ry and Rose from Randy's locker room in a few minutes cause I gotta head out soon." Stephanie said.
"Let me talk to dad first. I don't want you taking Ry and Rose when you have errands to run." Rachelle said.
"Rae, I'm not running any errands. I just gotta make a quick stop to the store and I swear I'll take good care of them. I mean come on, I have kids to you know that, Rae." Stephanie said.
"I know but I really don't get why he's making you take them. I mean I didn't have any plans for tonight. Wait does dad need to talk to me about something?" Rachelle asked.
"I don't know, Rae. I'm just as confused as you but I'll see you in a few." Stephanie said.
"All right. Bye Steph." Rachelle said.
"Bye Rae." Stephanie said as she ended the call.
Rachelle watched as her phone ended her call with her sister. She really was curious as to what was going on. Why would her dad all of a sudden tell her sister to take her children for the night? Rachelle knew that she didn't have any plans at all. All that she knew was that she and Randy were going to take the twins back to the hotel so that they could sleep. She looked at Randy again as if to see if he knew anything. This time when she looked at him, he looked back at her.
"What did Steph want?" Randy asked.
"Dad told her to take the twins tonight which I'm really curious to know why he did it. We didn't have any plans for tonight besides just watching the twins." Rachelle said.
Randy looked at her and nodded his head. It was true that they didn't have any plans except to watch the twins. But tonight, Randy had to do something. Something he knew that would hurt Rachelle and when that happened, he didn't want the twins to be there to see their mom hurt.
Later that night...
Rachelle and Randy stepped into their hotel room exhausted from the taping. Well in general, it was Randy who was completely exhausted from the taping. He was working really hard to get himself back to where he was before he had left to go on vacation. Rachelle walked into the bedroom and opened her luggage to grab her pajamas so that she could change. Randy watched as Rachelle walked towards the bathroom. He didn't know how he was going to tell her.
He was scared for everything. He was scared of how she was going to react. What would she do once she found out? Would things between them still be okay? What would happen to them? Those were all the questions that were running through his mind as he waited for her to come out of the bathroom. But he never realized her coming out of the bathroom because he had been so deep into his thoughts.
When Rachelle stepped out of the bathroom, she noticed Randy leaning against the doorway. He was so deep in thought that she had to admit it was really cute. She rarely ever saw Randy thinking so hard about anything. She walked over to him and reached for his hand. He flinched at her touch and shook his thoughts out of his head when he saw her. He pulled her close to him. He was scared to lose her after this. He wasn't ready to lose her when he had only just won her back.
"Are you okay, Ran?" She asked as she looked up at him.
He looked down at her and ran his hand through her hair. It was now or never. She needed to know. He placed a kiss on her forehead and lifted her into his arms before bringing her over to the bed and sitting her on the bed. He knelt down on the ground so that he could talk to her.
"Ran, what's going on? You're starting to scare me." She whispered.
"Rae, do you remember the day that you were brought to the hospital?" Randy asked.
"Bits and pieces of it. I mean I was unconscious most of the day. Why? Did something happen?" She asked.
Randy cursed to himself. The doctor hadn't mentioned to her the miscarriage that she had. This was going to be even harder than he had imagined.
"Randy, what happened?" She asked as Randy looked back at her.
"Baby, you had a miscarriage that day." Randy said as he watched her go into a state of shock.
Rachelle didn't know how to react to that message. She was in complete shock. She had been pregnant and she didn't even know it. But she wondered to herself, how long Randy had kept this a secret from her? Why hadn't he told her?
"How long have you known about this?" Rachelle asked.
Randy looked down at her lap.
"Since the day you were brought into the hospital. The doctor told me that the impact that you had endure caused the bleeding which led you to miscarrying the baby." Randy said.
"And you kept this a secret from me? Why?!" Rachelle exclaimed as she stood up and walked away from him.
Randy stood up and walked over to her. He tried to wrap his arms around her but she pushed his arms away.
"How could you keep this away from me?! Did you not think that I would ever find out about this?!" Rachelle exclaimed.
"I didn't know how to tell you, Rae. I didn't want you to blame yourself for miscarrying the baby. It wasn't your fault. And I couldn't tell you because you were still only trying to get used to living your life after the incident." Randy said.
"But you didn't even tell me after I was well enough." Rachelle said.
"I couldn't. I didn't want to see hurting anymore." Randy said.
"I...I.. I want you to get out." Rachelle said looking at him.
"Rae please." Randy whispered.
"No Randy, just... just ... just go." Rachelle said as he nodded his head.
Randy slowly walked out of the room as Rachelle felt the tears slowly come down her face. She had been pregnant before Samantha and Kurt had attacked her. She had a chance to become a mother again. She had a chance! A chance that she lost. How could he keep that from her? Rachelle grabbed her phone and dialed a number. The person picked up the phone.
"I'm coming home. Please be there when I get there. I need you right now." Rachelle whispered.
