Ride For You
Chapter 23
2 months later…
Well it's been a while since Randy has seen Rachelle. More like over 3 months to be exact. He couldn't help but admit that he really did miss her. He regretted everyday of his life that he hadn't believed Adam when he had told him that the girl in the photograph wasn't Rachelle. He spent most of his time with the twins who spoke to him a lot now. Vince and Linda were disappointed in Randy but kept things mutual between them for the sake of the twins. Stephanie, Paul, Shane, and Marissa kept things mutual as well for the twins' sake. Randy was told that Rachelle would visit the twins when she could but she chose to still stay away. She wanted to think about the things that were going on in her life.
Randy knew that she needed space again. He needed this space to think about his life and what he wanted to do. Things between him and Samantha were sour as well like it always had been. She persuaded him to do things in the bedroom but Randy wasn't interested in doing what Samantha wanted which was to have sex. Randy made the decision that he would never hurt Rachelle in that way. She meant more to him then that. Randy wondered what Rachelle looked like now since she was pregnant.
Pregnant. That word hit Randy hard in the stomach when he first heard Dr. Hilario tell Rachelle that she was pregnant. He knew that he was the father of the child that Rachelle was carrying. She had only been with him within that 2 months frame when Randy heard the message. She was carrying his child. They were going to welcome another child in their family. Well Randy couldn't exactly say that he would probably be apart of this child's life. Things between him and Rachelle weren't exactly going well.
He wondered what she looked like now. She must have had a small baby bump since she was probably 4 months pregnant. He wondered if whoever was taking care of her was taking good care of her. He wished that he could be there to take care of her during her pregnancy. He had grown accustomed to doing that ever since well her pregnancy with the twins. He had no idea where she was and he knew that he couldn't contact Mira or Jeff because neither of the two wanted to speak to him at all. Adam was still there for him and kept him updated on what was going on with Rachelle. That was his only way of knowing how Rachelle was doing in her life.
Nashville, Tennessee…
Karen and Jeff stopped what they were doing and watched as Rachelle mingled with the workers of TNA. Today, Jeff was throwing a party at his house because he just felt the need to. Okay the truth was they were throwing the party for Rachelle. They were celebrating her pregnancy. They were both happy that Rachelle had decided to stay with them for much longer. They knew that she needed somewhere to stay where she didn't have to worry about anything. Well that was until she was ready to talk to Kurt about the problems that he had caused her. Karen looked at her fiancé.
"Do you think they'll come and see her?" Karen asked.
Karen was referring to Rachelle's friends and family. Jeff had decided to call them to invite them to the party. He made sure that Vince knew where his daughter was. If there was one thing that kept Vince and Jeff from tearing each other apart, it was Rachelle. Rachelle had always been the peacemaker between the two businesses. Since Jeff and Vince looked at each others shows as competition to one another, Rachelle saw it as an opportunity for the two different companies to show the many talents of the superstars that were on both shows. She always held it in her heart that TNA was almost like a company where superstars were taught to strive harder while superstars in the WWE were taught to be thankful for how far that they had made it. But the thing was the two companies, no matter how different one could distinguish, were the two shows that still brought smiles on peoples faces and that's how Rachelle saw the two companies. They were shows that were just meant to show people a good time.
"Of course. I don't think anyone can stand to be away from Rachelle and her loving self." Jeff said as they noticed Rachelle giggling at whatever Allen Jones, AJ Styles to the TNA fans, had just said.
"It's hard to imagine that someone could want to hurt such an amazing woman. You know with everything that she's been through in her life. I'm really glad that you know we're friends with her." Karen said.
"So am I." Jeff said as they heard the doorbell ring.
"I'll go outside and make sure that Rae's all right." Karen said as Jeff nodded his head.
Jeff walked over to the door smiled when he saw Rachelle's family. He ushered them into the house. Vince looked at Jeff and stuck his hand out as Jeff took it.
"It's a pleasure seeing you, Jeff and thank you so much for everything you've done for my daughter." Vince said as they shook hands.
"It's nothing really, Vince. You know that she's always welcomed here." Jeff said.
"How is she though?" Linda asked.
"She's great. Pregnancy has been treating her well and you can honestly tell that she loves being pregnant. She's outside right now mingling with some of the TNA roster." Jeff said.
"That's good." Linda said.
"Yeah but go on and visit her. She's out back." Jeff said as he shut the door.
They made their way towards Jeff's backyard and stepped outside. Rachelle was enjoying herself as AJ talked to her about his three sons.
"You must really love them, huh?" Rachelle asked.
"Definitely. You know when we were a lot younger, we always hated the way our parents treated us when we were older. And we remembered the attention that they were giving to us and now I know how they must feel raising us." AJ said.
"I agree. I have twins and like I remember how my mom used to always complain about raising my siblings and me. Now I know exactly how she feels." Rachelle said.
"Aren't you pregnant again?" AJ asked as Rachelle nodded her head, "Sorry word travels fast around TNA. I mean we're all happy for you. Jeff and Karen praise you all the time so sometimes us, superstars, kinda feel like we're already known you for so long."
Rachelle gave him a smile before responding back, "It's all right. I think I'm really lucky, you know? Not many people can say that they can run between companies and make fast friends. Jeff's always played an important role in my life. He was like one of those people I admired ever since he was in the WWE or WWF. I'm glad that he's still close to me. He's always treated me as if I was one of his daughters."
"Yeah that's true. You know I'm glad that I met you today. You really are how Karen and Jeff described you. Sweet, caring, and such a bubbly person." AJ said as Rachelle blushed.
"Thank you. That's really sweet of you to say that. You know you're not as bad as they make you look on TV. I can see that you're such a sensitive guy who just loves his family and his job." Rachelle said.
"Thank you, too." AJ said as Rachelle and him both looked back to the house.
Rachelle was shocked to see her family standing there when she turned around. She rushed over to her mother and her father.
"Mom! Dad! What are you guys doing here?" She asked as she hugged each of them.
"Jeff invited us over and we couldn't pass up a chance to come visit you, sweetie. We miss you!" Linda said as she placed a kiss on her daughter's cheek.
Rachelle looked at her sister and brother then her brother-in-law and sister-in-law. She hugged each of them before hugging her nieces and nephews. She smiled at the site of her own children.
"My babies!" She squealed as her children squealed.
"Mommy!" The twins exclaimed as they rushed into her arms.
"Hi! Mommy missed you guys so much!" Rachelle said as the twins placed kisses all over her face.
"We missed you too!" Rosella said as Ryan nodded his head.
Before Rachelle could figure out what she wanted to say to the twins, they heard someone else's voice cutting her thoughts out. The twins stepped out of her arms.
"Awe there she is!" Rachelle heard someone say as she looked up to see Adam coming into the backyard.
"Addie!" Rachelle said as she stood up and rushed right into his arms.
"Hey Rae! Its good to see you and your baby bump." Adam said as they pulled away.
Adam patted her baby bump. The twins rushed over to Adam and gave him hugs and kisses as everyone continued to mingle. Vince and Linda had somehow managed to find themselves bonding with Jeff and Karen while Rachelle's siblings and in-laws managed to mingle with some of the superstars. Adam watched the twins for her as Rachelle went to get some refreshment. Rachelle jumped at the voice who had just said, "We heard someone's 4 months pregnant today." Turning around she noticed Ted standing there with his wife Kristen and Cody.
"Oh my god, you guys are here!" Rachelle exclaimed as she hugged each of them.
"Of course we were going to come. We weren't going to miss the chance to come see you again. You've been hiding and running away from us." Kristen said.
"I'm sorry. Things have just gotten really complicated that is." Rachelle said as she patted her baby bump.
"We can tell and we're sorry to hear about things between you and Randy." Cody said.
"It's all right. I'm just happy with where my life is right now. Jeff and Karen have been taking such good care of me that it's hard to even try and remember what life was like being with Randy." Rachelle said as felt her eyes watering.
"Rae, I didn't mean to bring him up like that. I'm so sorry." Cody said as he pulled her into his arms and rubbed her back.
"It's fine, Cody. It's just my hormones messing with me." Rachelle said as Cody placed a kiss on her head.
"All right well I'm still sorry. What do you say we go mingle with the rest of the TNA superstars and your kids?" Cody asked.
"I'd like that." Rachelle said as Ted, Kristen, and Cody smiled at her.
"All right let's go then." Cody said as he shifted so he had his arm around her shoulder.
Hours later…
Everyone had such a great time at the party that you would not have realized that must of the people at the house were on two completely opposite shows. Everyone helped clean up before they started to leave. Once everything was back in place the way that Jeff Jarrett had everything, everyone began to leave. They said their goodbyes to Rachelle, who wanted nothing more than to catch some sleep. She knew that she was really done for the day or the night. She couldn't take anymore and everyone could see it. She promised everyone that she would come visit them when she was ready. She hoped that it would be soon. She just needed to talk to Kurt first. Jeff, Karen, and Rachelle were hoping that he would show up at the party so that Rachelle could talk to him but that didn't quite exactly happen. Kurt didn't show up but Rachelle wasn't disappointed but that just meant she had to talk to Kurt much sooner. She looked back at Karen and Jeff, who had just finished putting the twins down for bed. She yawned again and whispered, "I think I'm gonna head to bed."
"All right. Goodnight, sweetie." Jeff said.
"Night you two! Thanks again for today!" Rachelle said as she headed for the guestroom.
"Your welcome!" Karen said as she and Jeff got ready to head upstairs to their room.
As they were heading up the stairs, the doorbell to their house went off. Karen looked at Jeff and gave him a questioning look. Jeff shrugged unsure about who would be at their door at this time. He slowly walked over to the door and peeked through the peephole. When he had seen who was on the other side, he looked back at the door and opened it slowly.
"Can I help you?" Jeff asked the person on the other side.
When Karen heard the voice, she was super shocked. Jeff was shocked as well. No one would have expected them to come all this way.
"I need to see Rachelle." The person said.
