ONE MONTH LATER; St. Louis, Missouri

Randy groaned as he woke up. "I got him, baby." Riley said referring to Nelson who was crying in the next room. "You should take a shower and get packed. Your flight leaves in a few hours." She said as she dragged herself to the nursery they called to be designed as soon as Randy gained custody of the now four month old. She smiled as she picked the baby up from the crib. "It's okay, baby boy. Are you hungry? I bet you are! Let's get you cleaned up first." She said happily.

She bathed the baby, put him in a diaper, and dressed him in a blue "Daddy Loves Me" onesie. "You look so handsome, Nel!" she chuckled. Riley heard snoring coming from the master bedroom. "Let's go wake Daddy." She said. Nelson cooed.

Riley tip toed into the bedroom and sat on Randy's side of the bed and laid Nelson next to him. "Tell Daddy to wake up, Nel." She said. The baby squealed loudly. Randy shook from the noise; he smiled when he saw Nelson next to him. "Hey bud!" he said. Nelson smiled. Randy sat up and took Nelson in his arms; he gently bounced the baby.

Riley smiled at her two men. "Can I get you something for breakfast?" Riley asked. "Uh, waffles and a protein shake is fine." He said. Riley nodded and took Nelson from Randy's arms; she pecked his lips. "Now, get up!" she said. Randy smiled and slapped her ass as she walked away; Riley yelped. "Daddy is a meanie." She told Nelson. "Don't listen to her, Nel!" Randy yelled playfully from the bathroom.

Downstairs in the kitchen, Riley put Nelson is his playpen while she made his bottle. As she fed him, the protein powder and milk Riley put in the blender mixed. Nelson finished his bottle before the protein shake was smooth so Riley burped him and put him back in the playpen.

When the shake was done, Riley poured it in Randy's designated shake pitcher and put it in the refrigerator. She sliced fruit and started on the homemade waffles. When she finished enough waffles for Randy and herself, she sat at the dining table next to Nelson's playpen and enjoyed her breakfast.

Out of nowhere, Randy swooped in and tried to get a bite of Riley's waffles. Before Randy could even get his hand on the fork, Riley slapped his hand away. "Don't touch my food! Get your own; it's in the warmer." she scolded. Nelson giggled from his playpen. "You think that's funny, Nel?" Randy asked his son. The baby cooed.

Randy shook his head. "Mommy is turning into a viper just like Daddy; she's a vipress." He said to Nelson as he passed the playpen. Riley stopped chewing her food. It was the first time Randy had referred to her as Nelson's 'mommy'. She didn't know how to react.

"What's wrong?" Randy asked as he sat next to Riley at the table. "You just called me his mommy." Riley said quietly. Randy didn't realize what he said. "Are you okay with that?" he asked. Riley nodded as she looked down at her engagement ring. "So are we not going to tell him about Sam?" she asked. "I don't see why we should. She's in prison for the rest of her life. There's no chance of Nelson ever meeting her. If he gets curious when he's older, we'll just have to tell him the truth." He said. Riley nodded and went back to eating.

Riley finished and stood to leave. "I'm going to take a shower; will you be okay with him?" she asked Randy. He nodded with a mouthful of waffles.

When she returned from her shower, Riley cleaned the off the dining table. She jumped when she felt an arm wrap around her waist. "Happy birthday, babe." Randy whispered into her ear. Riley turned around to face him. She gasped when Randy presented her with a bouquet of roses.

She smiled and kissed his lips. "Thank you so much, baby!" Riley said with a smile. "You're welcome; I love you." Randy said. Riley smiled. "I love you, too." She said. Riley broke away from Randy to put the flowers in a vase. While she did that, Randy put his bags in the Range Rover he recently bought Riley when she moved in.

Riley strapped Nelson in the car seat and drove Randy to the airport. "I don't like this, Randy." She said when they pulled up. "Don't like what?" he asked. "Dropping you off at the airport." She said with an exaggerated pout. Randy smiled and kissed Riley passionately. "I know, baby, but I'll be back before you notice I'm gone." He said. Riley nodded and got out of the car.

She took the baby carrier and followed Randy inside the airport. "This is it." Randy said when they reached a terminal. Tears formed in Riley's eyes. Randy pulled her close to him by her waist. "I love you, Riley. I'll be back soon." he said. Riley nodded and pecked his lips. Randy picked up Nelson and held him close in his arms. "You take care of Mommy, buddy. You're the man of the house while I'm gone, okay?" he said. Nelson just stared at Randy; Randy laughed and put the baby back in the carrier.

Randy hugged Riley one last time. "I love you." Riley said. "I love you too, baby." He said. He kissed her forehead and walked away. Riley wiped a stray tear and smiled. She knew her fiancé was going to come back to her soon. "Let's go home Nel; I need to get the house cleaned." She said.

Back at home, Riley put Nelson down for nap while she dusted the hardwood floors throughout the entire house. She wore a baby monitor on her hip as she cleaned. When she finished after nearly two hours, she collapsed on the bed she shared with Randy. Just as she hit the soft comforter, Nelson woke up crying. She smiled and went to check on him.

She changed his diaper and rocked him; when he finally fell asleep, Riley put him back in the crib only to have him cry yet again. Riley sighed and took Nelson to bed with her. She bounced with him until he fell asleep. Riley held the sleeping baby in her arms as she drifted off.

Both she and Nelson were woken by the ringing doorbell. Riley groaned and went downstairs with Nelson in her arms; she put him in his playpen. The doorbell rang again. "Coming!" she yelled as she left the kitchen.

She opened the door to a delivery man who had a cart that carried a big box and a large bouquet-like basket of fresh fruit. She was curious as to what was in the box; she hadn't ordered anything online lately. "Riley Orton?" the delivery man asked. Riley smiled brightly as she giggled. "I'm Riley but I'm not an Orton yet, but I will be soon." Riley said as she showed off her engagement ring. The man nodded and smiled. "Well, these are for you." He said. Riley smiled and opened the door wider for him and his cart to enter. He unloaded the cart and gave Riley a form to sign. "Thank you. Have a good day." Riley said. The man nodded as he left; Riley closed the door.

Riley got Nelson from the playpen and sat on the living room floor with him and the recent delivery. In the box were 2 Randy Orton Brawlin' Buddies labeled Nelson and Riley. Riley squeezed the belly of the first one. "Hey, Nelson!" Randy's voice projected from the toy. Nelson giggled at the sound of his father's voice. Riley smiled. "You hear that, Nel? That's Daddy!" She said to the happy baby.

She showed him the stuffed toy. He grabbed at the hands; squeezing one of them. "Good morning, Nelson." It said. Riley smiled at Nelson's reaction. He was so excited. She squeezed the other hand. "Good night, Nelson." The toy said. Riley felt tears sting her eyes; Randy had done something so thoughtful for his son to make up for his absence.

She picked up the second plush toy and squeezed its belly. "I love you, Riley." The toy said. She squeezed it again. "I miss you, babe." it said. Riley smiled and squeezed it a third time. "I can't wait to make you my wife." It said. Riley smiled from ear to ear. It was one of the sweetest and most thoughtful gifts she had ever gotten.

Riley put the toys away and fed Nelson. She burped him and put him a baby swing while she read the note attached to the fruit basket.

Dear Riley: If you're reading this, I have landed in Texas. I just want you do know that you and Nelson mean the world to me. I hate that I'm not with you for your birthday, but I hope I have made you happy thus far. I have scheduled a spa day for you and Becky tomorrow. I want you to enjoy that time; you can leave Nelson with Mom and Dad. Enclosed is a pre-paid $5,000 gift card for whatever you want. Over the past year, you have made me the happiest man on Earth. You are everything I could ever ask for in a wife. The day you become Riley Orton will be the best day of my life. I love you. Your future husband, Randy Orton.

Riley smiled at the letter and called her fiancé. Hello? Hey, Randy! I just got your gifts in the mail. Really? Do you like it? Baby, I love it. Thank you so much. We already miss you here. I know, babe. Don't forget to watch Raw tonight. I could never forget. How's Nelson been so far? He's been pretty good. A little fussy, but nothing I can't handle. That's good. Tell him hello for me. I will. I love you so much. Good luck tonight. Thanks babe. I love you, too. Bye. Bye.

After the phone call, Riley looked through the kitchen for something to cook for dinner. When she didn't find anything, she prepared Nelson for a grocery store trip by changing his diaper and making a bottle to take with them.

At the grocery store, Nelson was much fussier that Riley could have anticipated. He screamed almost the whole time. No matter how Riley tried to sooth him, nothing worked. She even tried a bottle and pacifier. Absolutely nothing was working; Riley got nasty glares from the other shoppers. "He's a baby; babies cry, you know." She said to one particularly judgmental lady.

Once back at home, Nelson was calm. "Really, Nel? You caused a scene at the store, but as soon as we get home, you're an angel. What am I going to do with you?" she said. Nelson giggled. Riley smiled and put him in a Bloom Coco Baby Lounge on the kitchen counter. He babbled while she cooked dinner for herself.

She smiled at the sweet baby as he tried to put his foot in his mouth. He was so precious; Riley felt so blessed to have him and Randy in her life. This was a life she never thought she would have. Of course she had dreamed of it, but she never expected it to happen. She couldn't have been happier.
