A/N: I borrowed characters from one of my other stories to bring into this one. So if you notice some unfamiliar characters that would be why.
Ride For You
Chapter 13
Cameron, North Carolina...
Amy Dumas and Patricia Stratigias-Fisico, also known as Trish Stratus, sat in the living room with Matt Hardy and the rest of the gang. They had all gotten the news about someone arriving in North Carolina. It was Amy who had gotten the call and had told Jeff that the person had requested he pick them up. The person had also told Amy that they wanted Patricia there. Amy had wondered why the person needed them right now but when she heard the person crying, she knew that the person needed comfort.
Jeff drove as quickly as he could to get to the airport where he met the person. When he saw the person, he smiled at them. It had been a while since he had last seen them. He watched as two tiny toddlers rushed over to him.
"Unca Jeffy!" Ryan screamed as Jeff picked him up first.
"My man! How are you?" Jeff asked.
"Me good." Ryan said as Jeff put him down to pick up Rosella next.
"Hi beautiful." Jeff said as he placed a kiss on her face.
"Unca Jeffy!" Rosella said as she placed a kiss on his face.
Rachelle smiled at the sight before her. Cameron was her runaway home. She didn't remember when she first started running away to this place but she knew that this was the place where she was always welcomed. She had always found comfort when it came down to the Hardy's and their friends. They had always welcomed her with open arms. Jeff put Rosella down and wrapped his arm around Rachelle.
"Good to have you home, Rae." Jeff said.
"Thanks, Jeffy. I didn't know where to go." Rachelle said.
Jeff took Ryan into his arms and their baggage before looking at Rachelle, who picked Rosella up.
"Well I mean you already know that you're welcomed here and that this is your second home. Amy and Trish are here too." Jeff said as they walked over to Jeff's car.
"Really? How long have they been here?" Rachelle asked.
"Amy came as soon as you called her and Trish arrived within minutes after that." Jeff said.
Jeff got the twins situated into the car seats that he had kept since the first time Rachelle had brought them to Cameron. Rachelle got into the passenger seat as Jeff placed Rachelle and the twin's belongings into the truck before getting into the car. He got in the car and they were on their way to Matt's house. Rachelle looked at Jeff.
"How's Mira and Ruby?" She asked wondering about Jeff's wife and daughter.
"They're doing great. Ruby's starting to talk so Mira and I are really excited about that." Jeff said smiling.
"She must look like you more now than before huh?" Rachelle asked as she turned her head to look at the twins.
"Sort of but she acts more like Mira that it freaks me out." Jeff said as Rachelle chuckled.
"Got you wrapped around her tiny finger, I presume?" Rachelle questioned.
"Yeah but I mean I love her. She's like my pride and joy." Jeff said.
"I know you do. I mean we all see it when you're with her. You love her the way a father should love his own daughter." Rachelle said as they arrived at Matt's house.
When Jeff got his car into the driveway, he shut the engine off and hopped out of the car so that he could get the twins out. Rachelle stepped out of the passenger seat and went to go help Jeff grab their belongings. Jeff stopped her and told her that he had everything under control. They walked up to the front door and Rachelle pushed the doorbell. Matt made his way over to the door and opened it. He smiled when he heard Rosella and Ryan yelling his name.
"Unca Matt!" The twins exclaimed.
Matt scooped them up into his arms and embraced them in a hug. He had missed the twins and always found that seeing them was great. He couldn't deny that. They were wonderful children.
"How are you two?" Matt asked as he put them on the ground.
"Good!" The twins responded.
"Hey why don't you two go see if Ruby is up?" Jeff said as the twins looked at him.
"Otay." They responded and rushed to the guestroom.
Rachelle and Jeff stepped into the house. Matt pulled Rachelle into an embrace. Rachelle wrapped her arms around Matt and felt herself tearing up. He rubbed her back to soothe her.
"It's okay, Rae. You're home now." Matt whispered.
"I know but it hurts." Rachelle sobbed out.
"Why don't you tell us what happened in the living room? That's where everyone is." Matt said as Jeff shut the door.
"Okay." Rachelle said as they walked over to the living room.
True to Jeff's words, Amy and Patricia were there. As soon as Amy and Patricia saw Rachelle, they rushed over to hug her. Rachelle felt like she was really finally home. She had known Amy and Patricia since they both first started out in the business and they all became close best friends. After what felt like forever, the girls let go of each other and took a seat on the couch.
"What happened, Rae? You seemed really upset on the phone." Amy said.
"Things have just been going horrible in my life right now. Randy and I are divorced because of what happened with my family and the fact that he was cheating on me. Then Samantha, his ex-girlfriend or fiancée, came up with this plot to seek revenge against me. So I've been battling my own war with her and it's gotten worse. She brought Kurt into it." Rachelle said.
Patricia looked at Rachelle.
"What's does Kurt have anything to do with Randy and you? You've never done anything to Kurt." Patricia said.
"I know but no one knew why Kurt was after me till the night he and Samantha attacked me." Rachelle said.
"They attacked you?!" Matt exclaimed as everyone looked at Rachelle in shock.
"It was a horrible night. It was the night when I was supposed to be facing Randy in the ring. The only thing I fully remember is someone coming in to tell me that it was time for me to head to the ring and I told them to give me a couple of minutes. Then last thing I remember was Samantha, Randy's ex-girlfriend, and Kurt coming into the room and attacking me. This was all before I blacked out because of the amount of suffering that I went through." Rachelle said as Amy and Patricia hugged her.
"My god that's terrible. I can't believe that Kurt had the audacity to even hurt a woman. He has really changed." Amy said.
"I know. But Rae, what does that have to do with Randy and you fighting?" Patricia asked.
"I was pregnant when Kurt and Samantha attacked me. I miscarried the baby when I got to the hospital. The doctor told Randy about the miscarriage. He kept it to himself for the longest time. I'm pretty sure my family knew about it but no one seemed to want to tell me." Rachelle said.
"And that's why you're upset?" Shannon asked.
"Yes." Rachelle said.
"I can understand where you're coming from, Rae but you have to think about them too. Most especially Randy. He was the one that had to deal with having to tell you and yes he had no right to wait to tell you. But you have to consider what he was going through when the doctor told him that you had miscarried. I assume he was the father of the child, right?" Amy asked.
"Of course. He's the only guy I've been with." Rachelle said.
"Well he was hurting too, Rae. It's not just you. He had a lot to take in. Maybe he wanted to wait till you were fully healed from the pain that you went through in order for him to tell you about the baby. I mean you do have to figure out the right time to tell someone about a miscarry but in the situation that you were in, he couldn't distinguish when the right time was." Amy said.
Rachelle had never thought about it that way. She never fully imagined how hard it was for Randy to go through everything with her while these things were occurring. She never knew how hard it was for him. He had been the one taking care of her and he had put up with her stubbornness. He had done his best to get her to move on from the accident.
"I…I never…I never thought of it that way." Rachelle said.
"Sometimes we tend to forget the emotions or the feelings of other people and we end up just thinking about ourselves." Patricia said.
"But I don't know how to face him after that. I mean I'm really hurt that he kept it a secret." Rachelle said.
"Why don't you just try and take this time to think about what you want to do? No one is rushing you to go back to them." Jeff said.
"I think I might just do that. I'm not exactly ready to go back." Rachelle said.
"Well we're all here for you." Patricia said.
"Thanks guys! I'm really glad that I can count of you guys to help me through my problems." Rachelle said.
"It's nothing. That's what friends are for, Rae. They're there to help through everything." Matt said.
Back with Randy…
To say that Randy wasn't worried about where Rachelle or the twins were would be an understatement. He was really worried. He had no idea where they were and neither did the McMahon's know where they were. He hadn't meant to keep the miscarriage a secret from her. It was just that he didn't exactly know how to tell her. With her gone, he felt empty and lost. With the way that things were for the both of them now, all Randy really wanted to do was keep her protected. She needed the protection more than ever because of what Samantha and Kurt had planned for them. He wasn't going to risk losing her like this but not having her by his side scared the crap out of him. He was scared because he didn't even know if there was anyone protecting her. Protecting her in the way that he had been protecting her for the past couple of months and weeks.
Randy's thoughts were pulled aside when he felt a hand being placed on his shoulder. He looked up and saw his mother, Elaine and Linda standing behind him.
"How are you holding up, son?" Elaine asked.
"I just want to know that she's safe. I never meant to hurt her with news like that." Randy said as Linda looked at him.
"We know you do, Randy. You've been taking care of her for the past couple of weeks and I honestly cannot believe why she would run away from you now." Linda said.
"But you have to understand, Randy, that she is hurting right now. No one did tell her right away that she lost the baby so she does need her time and space to take everything in." Elaine said as Randy looked at his mother.
"I know but it just doesn't feel right not having her here where I can protect her." Randy said.
"We know, Randy. You two have been getting close again and you have been so caring with her. Let's just give her the space she needs. Who knows maybe she'll come back real soon." Linda said.
