Notes: - Thanks for the reviews. Just wanted to add that Lita and Edge were only ever involved in an onscreen relationship. Please R & R.

Chapter 2

Lita and John were still sat in the restaurant twenty minutes later. Randy had gone back to his room to call his wife again a few minutes earlier.

"I hate to admit it but I have this real bad feeling about this whole surrogacy thing," John said.

"You're not the only one. I'm going to call him later and see what's happened," Lita replied. Her phone beeped suddenly, making her jump a little.

"You're a little jumpy there, Red."

"Thank you Captain Obvious," Lita replied, rolling her eyes. She flipped open her phone. "It's from Edge." She read the message and couldn't help but laugh. She shook her head, "He's such a dork."

"What's he say?" John asked.

"Greetings from the Edgemeister. I will be ready to leave in thirty minutes. Be there or and then he has those three little dots," Lita explained. "So I pressed the down button and it's says get left behind."

"The guy's a fucking lune," John replied, laughing.

"I know. So what are you doing on your time off this week?"

John groaned, "What time off would that be? I have a shitload of appearances to do, one of which is in Atlanta so expect a visitor sometime the day after tomorrow. And then I think I have half a day free and then it's off to the next house show."

Lita ran a hand through her hair. "They really know how to take advantage of the fact you won't say no, don't they?"

"Don't they ever and then it'll be Monday and I'll have Brawler on my ass about filming five questions."

"Poor baby," the redhead replied.

John ignored her sarcastic tone, "So you up for a visit on Thursday?"

Lita pretended to think about it, "I don't know my schedule's pretty busy."

John pouted, making her laugh. "Go on then, I guess I could slot you in somewhere. Call me before you arrive though. I don't want you just turning up at my door like last time."

"Hey, I tried to call last time. It wasn't my fault that you were talking to Orton for an hour."

Lita nodded, "You have a point there. Text me or something, okay?"

"Will do. Anyways, I best be making tracks. I gotta get to the airport soon."

"Okay babe, I better go check out too. Don't want to keep the Edgemeister waiting." Lita laughed.

John waved his hand nonchalantly, "Make him wait. It's not like he's really gonna leave you behind."

"He better not do," Lita replied, getting up from her chair. "Or I'll be forced to kick his ass."

"And I'd be forced to help you," he joked. "I'll see ya Thursday, Li. Stay safe."

"You too, John." She started to walk off but stopped again quickly, "And don't think I've forgotten about that twenty bucks." She didn't give John time to reply before she was gone.

Thirty minutes later and Lita was sitting in the hotel lobby waiting for her on screen boyfriend to make an appearance. Despite what his text message had said, there was still no sign of him. Lita pulled out her cell phone about to call him when the elevator doors opened and Edge stepped out dragging his suitcase behind him.

"What took you so long?" Lita asked with a smile.

"Sorry babe, I ran into Orton in the hallway. He's worse than a kid on Christmas morning today," Edge explained.

Lita rolled her eyes. "Don't I know it. Me and John had breakfast with him this morning. He was very chipper."

"Just let me check out real quick and we'll get this show on the road."

"Okay, if you give me the car keys, I can load up the luggage."

"Thanks Leets," Edge replied. He handed her the keys and his carry on bag.

Lita shouldered the bag which was a little heavier than she expected, "Jesus Adam, what have you got in here?"

"Just a few essentials! Of course if it's too heavy for ya …"

"I can manage," Lita informed him with a smile.

Edge headed towards the reception desk as Lita exited the lobby. Five minutes later he had joined her in his rental. He'd just put the keys in the ignition when he realised something was missing, "Shit."

"What's wrong?"

"I lost my sunglasses."

"Where do you lose them?" Lita asked, knowing it would piss him off.

"If I knew that, they wouldn't be lost would they?" Edge snapped.

Lita tried to bite back a laugh but failed.

"What's so damn funny?" he asked.

"I was just messing with you, idiot. I know how much you hate it when people ask you dumb questions."

"Morley has a lot to answer for," Edge replied referring to Val Venis' little interview on . "And don't even think about changing the radio station, Amy."

"Would I?" Lita put on her best innocent look.

"Of course you would."

"You're probably right. So, did Randy tell you why he was so chipper?"

"Yeah, he'd just been talking to Jessica. He told me to tell you he'd drop by your place later."

"Since Orton moved to Atlanta he drops by a lot. Not that I'm complaining. It's good to have company. Speaking of which, you want to stay over?"

"I would love to but I've got an appearance tonight in Tampa," Edge replied.

"Really?"

"Yeah, it's a last minute thing. Shouldn't take too long."

"You know, if we're going to get to the airport on time, you're going to have to actually start the engine," the redhead said dryly.

"You'll get yours, Dumas," Edge said as he started up the car.

Jessica Orton looked at her watch. Her husband would be home any minute now. He'd called her forty minutes ago from the airport informing her he was on his way back to the house. She flipped her long brown hair over her shoulder and sighed heavily, "Not long now."

With that the front door opened and Randy stepped inside, pulling his suitcase behind him, "Jess?" he called out.

"I'm in the kitchen, baby," his wife replied.

Randy abandoned his luggage in the hallway and headed towards the kitchen, "There you are."

"Here I am, baby," she said with a smile, "I missed you."

"Missed you too, Jessie, come here," he said, holding out his arms.

She walked into his embrace and hugged him tightly. "Do you have any plans this afternoon?"

Randy released her and stepped back, leaning back against the counter, "Not really, I'm going to take a quick nap and I said I'd stop by at Lita's."

The brunette frowned slightly, "What for?"

Randy shrugged, "Just to hang, no reason."

Jessica smiled at him, "Just don't be late for dinner, we have some celebrating to do."

"Do we ever, I can't believe this is finally going to happen. How's Vanessa?"

"She's fine and according to the doctor in perfect health."

"So in approximately nine month's time we are going to have anything we ever dream of," Randy said happily.

"We sure will. Anyways, I'm going to head to the mall to get a few things while you're taking your nap. You're looking a little tired."

"Couldn't sleep," Randy explained. "Too excited."

"Me too, baby." She stepped forward and kissed him on the lips. "I'll be back soon. Oh and I'll be needed this." She reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out his wallet. After removing his American Express card she handed the wallet back to him.

Randy laughed, "Just don't spend too much, okay?"

She pouted a little, "I won't. Now go take your nap, I'll see you later."

"Bye Jessie," Randy said as he watched her walking away.

Two hours later and Randy had just pulled up outside Lita's house. He was feeling refreshed after his short nap. He stepped out of the car and headed towards her front door. He was about to ring the bell when the door opened, Lita motioned for him to come in as she was currently talking to someone on the phone. Randy followed the redhead into her living room, taking a seat on her couch.

"Oh my god," Lita said into the phone as she sat down at the opposite end of the couch. "When did this happen?"

The Legend Killer shot her a curious look but she only smiled at him.

"I can't believe it but anyways, Orton just arrived, I gotta go. I'll see you Thursday, babe. Bye." Lita disconnect the call, placing her phone handset on the coffee table in front of them.

"Who was that?" Randy asked.

Lita rolled her eyes, "Hello to you too, Randy."

He smirked at her, "Hello Li, who was that?"

"Nosy much?" she replied with a grin. "If you want know it was John. I think he's bored, I've been talking to him for the last two hours. His cell phone bill is going to be huge."

"Two hours?" Randy asked in disbelief. "You were with him this morning, what could you possibly find to talk about for two hours?"

Lita glared at him, "I just saw you this morning too but you're here aren't you?"

"Your point being?" he replied with a shrug.

"Nevermind, how did Jess get on with her friend at the doctor's office?"

"Good … great in fact. She's in perfect health and we'll be starting the treatment as soon as possible," Randy explained.

"Where is Jessie now? I thought she might have dropped by with you."

"She's at the mall buying stuff. Dunno what exactly."

Lita smiled, "She has your credit card again, doesn't she?"

"Yup, the girl sure can shop."

"You better stay on your best behaviour and not get suspended then," Lita replied with a wink.

"Hey," Randy said, "That was uncalled for." He threw a conveniently placed cushion at her.

"So was that." Lita lept forward, hitting him with the cushion repeatedly in the face causing Randy to cover up. Thirty seconds later and she was still attacking him but not so fiercely.

"Not my face, please not my beautiful face," he complained in a whiney voice.

Lita stopped hitting him and burst out laughing giving Randy the opportunity he was waiting for. He snatched the cushion out of her hands and tossed it behind him. "You're gonna get it now."

She looked at him in mock terror, "Please don't hurt me," she said in her best baby voice.

He face turned serious, "Li, I would never hurt you. You know that right?"

She smacked him lightly on the arm, "I know, I was just kidding. You okay?"

"Yeah, forget it. I was just being stupid."

"Have you been drinking?"

Randy snorted, "Yeah, right." His reply was cut short by his cell phone ringing. "It's Jessie." He flipped open his phone, "Hey Jess, what's up?"

"Are you still at Lita's?" his wife asked.

"Yeah, just got here actually," the Legend Killer replied.

"I'm back from the mall, I wanted to show you what I got. I'm wearing part of it right now," she teased.

"Oh really? I'm on my way home. See you in five." He closed his phone. "Sorry, gotta go." He waggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"I'm not even going to ask why. I'll see you soon." Lita replied as she walked him to the door.

"Bye, Li." He kissed her cheek before leaving.

Sighing Lita closed the door. Randy sure was acting a little weird today and she still couldn't shake the bad feeling she had about this whole surrogacy thing.

The next morning Randy Orton woke up alone. He looked around for signs of his wife. The ensuite bathroom door was closed. "Jess, you in there?" he called out.

"Yeah baby, I'll be right out," she called back. Inside Jessica Orton had just removed a tiny pill from the box. She popped it in her mouth and swallowed it with some water. Quickly, she opened the cabinet under the sink and placed the box right at the back out of sight.
