Ride For You
Chapter 17
"Come in!" Randy said as his locker room door opened.
Adam Copeland stuck his head into the room to see the couple sitting on the couch. He stepped into the room as Rachelle got off of Randy's lap and stood up. Randy stood up as well when Adam shut the door.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Adam said.
"Oh you're not interrupting anything at all, Addie. We were just looking over the script. It's nice to see you again." Rachelle said rushing over to hug the Canadian.
"I know it's been a while. You keep hiding from me. I hope you're not running away from me." Adam joked as he picked up the petite Filipina.
Rachelle laughed as Adam set her down on the ground.
"I would never run away from you. I've just been taking care of stuff at home and with the kids." Rachelle said.
"And our big baby, right?" Adam joked as Rachelle giggled at Randy's glare towards his friend, "Joking, Randal."
"Right but it's good to see you again, buddy." Randy said as he shook hands with Adam.
"I know. It really has been a while but yeah speaking of the script, I wanted to talk to Randy about that." Adam said.
"Well I'll take that as my cue to go look for the girls so that I can catch up." Rachelle said as she walked over to the couch to pick up her son.
"Where are you taking Ryan?" Randy asked.
"I'll go leave him with Stephanie and talk to her about our storyline plans." Rachelle said as she picked up her son.
"That's Ryan?" Adam asked as he looked at the little boy who Rachelle now held in her arms.
"Mhmm, our mini version of Randy. Do you wanna hold him?" Rachelle asked as she looked at Adam.
"Is that okay?" Adam asked.
"Of course, Addie. You are his godparent." Rachelle said giggling as she placed her son in Adam's arms.
"Wow. He's grown so much from the last time I've seen him." Adam said as Rachelle walked over to Randy, who instantly wrapped her up in his arms.
"Shows that you've been away from us for way too long." Randy said as Rachelle nodded her head.
Adam looked over at the happy couple. He had always loved being with them. There was just this vibe with these two that just made someone feel really comfortable with them. He had obviously known Rachelle from the beginning of his career. It was hard not to become friends with her when you were getting to know the McMahons. She was the easiest person to talk to but from past history, Adam knew that she had a temper that no one even dared to bring out of her. Everyone preferred to be on her good side. As for Randy, he had always gotten along with him. It must have gone back to the day when Randy was still in Evolution and they were feuding over the Intercontinental Title. Randy has always been there for him as well so he could easily consider him one of his best friend's.
"I know but you know someone had to watch over Smackdown." Adam said as Rachelle laughed.
"I agree and now we've left the show in Cody and Jay's hands." Rachelle said as this time Adam and Randy laughed.
"Oh man but yeah Rae, why don't you leave Ryan with Adam and me and then I'll take him to Stephanie's room before I get ready to wrestle in the ring with Adam?" Randy asked.
"Yeah that sounds good to me. Well I'll see the both of you guys later." Rachelle said as she turned to place a kiss on Randy's lips.
She stepped out of his grasp and walked over to Adam and placed a kiss on his cheek. She looked at her sleeping son and placed a kiss on his head before walking out of the room. She was going to go visit Gail and have a talk with her about catching up. Meanwhile back with Adam and Randy, both men had taken a seat. Randy sitting on the couch and Adam sitting on a chair with Ryan still asleep in his arms.
"So lets talk about the script." Adam said.
"Yeah so umm about our match, what do you think about having Rachelle come down to the ring with me?" Randy asked.
"To exchange a few words with Vickie?" Adam asked.
"Something like that." Randy said as Adam thought long and hard about what Randy was thinking.
"I like it. I don't really like the idea of having to work with Vickie again." Adam said.
"Neither would I if I was in your position. Is she still giving you a hard time?" Randy asked.
"Yeah. The woman is like really crazy right now. I mean have you seen how bad the women's division is on Smackdown? It's chaotic and the girls that are over there are like suffering so bad. She's boosting the wrong egos." Adam said as Randy laughed, "What the hell are you laughing at?"
"Adam, you're only working with her for tonight. So let's just get through tonight and you'll be done with working with her. All you'll have to worry about is me getting in the way of you getting that title which is wrapped around our buddy's waist." Randy said as Adam started to smile.
"I do like the way that you're thinking, buddy." Adam said.
"Good I'm glad we got that all done and out of the way." Randy said.
Raw
Randy held his girlfriend's hand as she looked at him. She was pretty nervous about going out to the ring because it had been a while since the fans had even heard or seen from her. The last time that she remembered being on screen or with the fans was when she was attacked by Samantha and Kurt. Samantha and Kurt.
"Ran, I can't go out there!" Rachelle exclaimed in a rush as Randy looked at her.
"What are you talking about? You can do this." Randy said.
"What if Samantha and Kurt are out there? What if they try to pull something? I mean you can't just tell me that you forgot all about them. I mean yeah we haven't heard from them in a while but still. They could still be making plans about attacking us or me, personally." Rachelle said as Randy pulled her close to him.
"I already swore to you that I wasn't gonna let them near you and you know that. I'm gonna make sure that no one hurts you. Adam isn't gonna let them come near you too and you know that." Randy said as he ran his hands up and down her back.
"But Adam doesn't know about what happened." Rachelle said.
"Well do you think he's gonna think if they were here and they attacked you? He's not gonna let someone hurt one of his best friends. He's not that type of guy. I mean yeah we know he's not one to break character but still." Randy said as Rachelle looked up at him.
"You're right but you swear that you're gonna make sure that I'm safe out there?" Rachelle asked in a hushed tone.
"Of course, baby. I'm gonna do anything to make sure that you're okay and safe. I'm here to protect you." Randy said placing a kiss on her forehead as Rachelle wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Thank you." Rachelle said in a whisper.
"Your welcome." Randy said.
Randy's music blasted through the arena and the couple got ready to step out from behind the curtain. Randy stepped out first followed by Rachelle.
"The following match is scheduled for one fall and it is a two on one handicap match. On his way to the ring, from St. Louis, Missouri, Randy Orton!" Savannah said as Randy appeared from behind the curtain.
The crowd was cheering him on and cheered even louder when they saw Rachelle appear by his side. Rachelle smiled and held Randy's hand as they made their way to the ring.
"Oh my god King, is that Rachelle?" Cole asked.
"I believe it is and look at her. She's back with Orton." King said as Randy got into the ring and watched as Rachelle climbed the steps.
"Remember King, the last time we saw Rachelle was going to face Randy in a one on one match in a cage match but that match never happened because Rachelle was attacked by people that we didn't know." Cole said.
"No one knows who really attacked her but from the looks of what we're seeing now it seems that Randy and Rachelle have worked everything out." King said.
Randy help the ropes open for Rachelle as she stepped into the ring. Randy went off to do his usual poses while Rachelle waited at one corner of the ring. When Randy was done posing, he walked back over to her and pulled her into his arms. She had her back to him as his arms rested on her waist. She smiled up at him and they shared a quick kiss before Edge's music began to play through the arena. The crowd started to boo Edge before he even came out. Once Edge came out, the booing got worse and got even louder when Vickie had come out to the ring with him. Rachelle patted Randy's hand that was on her waist as they watched Edge and Vickie wait for his tag team partner.
Ted Dibiase's music blasted through the arena as Rachelle felt Randy's body tense up. Rachelle looked up at him and gave him a reassuring smile.
"You got this, baby." She whispered.
"I know and you know you're safe now that Ted's here too." He whispered back to her.
"Yeah and he knows what happened too since I told him and Kristen." Rachelle said.
Ted came out to the crowd booing him. Rachelle had to stop herself from laughing when she saw Ted carrying his father's belt. He looked so cute that it was hard to not laugh but she managed to stop herself. Ted shook Edge's hand before they made their way down to the ring. Edge and Ted got into the ring as Rachelle looked at Randy. She smiled at him as Vickie took her seat right by the commentary table.
"You got this, baby. Good luck." Rachelle whispered as she gave Randy a quick kiss before getting out of the ring.
Randy, Edge, and Ted watched her step out of the ring. Though still in character, they wanted to make sure that nothing happened to her while they had their match going on. Ted started the match out and Randy held him in a grapple before the two started to go at it. The match went on to show a lot of Edge and Ted ganging up on Randy. Rachelle cheered Randy on as did the crowd.
At one point during the match, it was Randy and Ted who were in the ring. Randy had taken a punch from Ted but he fired back at Ted by giving him an uppercut.
"Come on, Randy!" Rachelle cheered on as Randy threw Ted against the ropes.
Ted clotheslined Randy as Rachelle closed her eyes. She was scared as hell for Randy as her character was supposed to be. But really she was scared that at any moment Samantha or Kurt could appear and kidnap her or attack her. She looked around at the faces of the fans not really paying attention to the match that by the time she looked back, Edge was laying in front of the commentary table and Ted was getting ready to throw Randy against the ropes. But Randy had somehow reversed it and hit a backbreaker on Ted. Randy was getting feeling it. It was time for him to hit the RKO and the fans were cheering loudly. That's when Rachelle noticed Vickie getting up from her seat. Vickie got up on the apron and tried to distract Randy as Rachelle rushed over and yanked Vickie's feet off the apron.
Vickie's face hit the apron and when she fell to the ground, she was holding her face. She looked at Rachelle, who was now towering over her.
"What the hell are you doing, McMahon? You're not supposed to be helping him." Vickie exclaimed as Rachelle bent down more to her level.
"Actually, I am supposed to be helping him. That's my husband, Vickie. You need to watch who you're messing with." Rachelle said as she slapped Vickie in the face.
The crowd cheered her on as she walked away from Vickie obviously happy with what she had done. She turned her attention to see that Randy had tossed Ted out of the ring. R-Truth was now rushing down the ramp, which sent Ted back into the ring where Randy had given him the RKO. Randy covered him and got the pinfall. Rachelle climbed back into the ring and rushed to give him a hug as Vickie crawled back into her seat. Randy placed a quick kiss on Rachelle's lips.
"Baby, you said I was your husband earlier." Randy said as Rachelle lifted his hand up.
"And we'll talk about it later. Just go finish Vickie off." Rachelle said winking at him as he smiled at her.
Randy turned his attention to Vickie was watching him. It was then that Randy began to do his taunting and everyone could see Vickie squirming in her seat. Rachelle had stepped out of the ropes and was now sitting on the apron of the ring watching what was going on. Randy stepped out of the ring as he eyed Vickie. Vickie held a scared expression as she yelled, "Don't do it! Edge!"
Randy slowly walked towards her as her voice started to hyperventilate.
"Randy, don't … don't… don't do it! I'm warning you! EDGE! EDGE!" She screamed into the microphone.
Vickie looked at Rachelle for some help but obviously Rachelle wasn't going out of her way to help Vickie out. Vickie looked at Edge then turned her attention back to Randy. He was starting to freak her out and she knew at any moment that she was going to lost her mind. She squirmed and yelled, "All right I resign. I RESIGN!"
As Randy inched closer to her, Edge was slowly getting up. Rachelle yelled for Randy to turn around and luckily Randy saw him. He rko'ed Edge before watching Vickie scramble away from him. Rachelle held a smile on her face as she watched Vickie run away. She knew deep down inside Edge was smiling to. He just couldn't show it. Randy got into the ring and helped Rachelle into the ring where they celebrated his victory.
End Raw
When they had gotten to the back, Randy and Rachelle waited for Adam to get to the back. Ted was there with them and he had his arm wrapped around Rachelle.
"That was a good match, Teddy. You did good." She said patting his cheek.
"Thanks, Rae. I'm just glad that Samantha and Kurt weren't here and that you're safe." Ted said as he placed a kiss on her head.
"I know and thank you for watching out for me. I knew I could always count on you." Rachelle said as she placed a kiss on Ted's cheek.
Adam slowly made his way back with the help of the refs. He looked at Randy, Rachelle, and Ted and smiled at them. He was playing off that the RKO that he had taken from Randy had really hurt him.
"That was a great match, man!" Randy said as he patted Adam's back.
"Thanks. Same to you and Ted. Great job out there, Rae. You really smacked her hard on the face." Adam said as they all laughed.
"Thanks. I saw you smiling down there when she said she reassigned. Way to stay in character, Addie." Rachelle said as Adam pulled her out of Ted's hold and wrapped his arms around her.
"Well only you noticed and by the way you look so cute in your outfit. You totally outshined Vickie." Adam said as he kissed her forehead.
"Always the charmer, Addie. But I always outshine her." Rachelle said as she pulled away from him and walked over to Randy.
"Of course you do, baby." Randy said as he kissed her on the lips.
"You two need to stop doing that in public. It's grossing me out." Ted said.
"I second that." Adam said.
"Awe and all three of you guys need to shower. You're stinking up the air that I'm breathing in." Rachelle said as the guys laughed at her.
