Chapter 8
"Erynn… Eli? Flair!"
"Hmm?" I asked looking up from the baby book of sonograms.
"U wanna help me?" Randy asked looking up towards the cabinet where I put his medicine.
"Oh, yeah, haha, hold on Boo," I said trying to lift my belly up and get to the cabinet. He just sat there smirking at me in his little wheelchair.
"What's so funny Orton?"
"Nothing, your just so damn sexy."
"I'm pregnant, how can you think I'm sexy?"
"I happen to find pregnant women very, very attractive," he said smiling at me.
"Okay, well, we have an interview later so I guess I'll wake you up when it's time to get ready okay?"
"Alright, that works, thanks, love you," he said tossing the pills in his mouth.
"I love you too, get some rest," I said kissing his cheek and pushing him towards our bedroom door.
"I got this, woman!" He announced.
"Okay, mister," I said moving away from the wheelchair. He smiled at me and continued towards our room.
7 o'clock
Randy's POV
"Daddy! Wake up!" I heard Alanna yell at me from the side of my bed.
"I'm up sweetie, are you and Tate ready to go?"
"Yes, we are, you need to get ready," she said pulling my right arm.
"Okay, daddy's up," I said sitting up and putting myself in my wheelchair. "Where's Erynn at?"
"She, um… I don't know, I just woke up and was going to get me something to eat and I saw the note that said leave at 7:30 to go to interview with The Vincy."
"Ah, well, we need to find Erynn before we leave, she has to go too," I said picking up my daughter and putting her on my lap and wheeling out to the living room.
"Erynn?"
"Eli!" Alanna yelled throughout the house.
"Alanna! Stop yewling!" Tate yelled from the guest room.
"Tate, is Erynn in there?"
"Yes, she is sweeping."
"She's sweeping? In the guest bedroom?"
"No, like sweeping, like in a bed, duh," he said rolling his eyes.
"Sleeping? Well, wake her up," I motioned him towards the room.
"Okay, I will," he said running into the room. "Daddy!"
"What?" I asked wheeling into the room. Tate's eyes were huge and staring at Erynn.
"The bed's wet, I think she peed her pants!"
"Uh no, her water broke. Erynn, wake up," I said moving her.
"What?"
"Get up, we gotta get to the hospital, your water broke," I said calmly.
"Uh oh," she said grabbing her stomach.
"Come on," I said hurrying her out of the bed.
"No! I'm not moving! Call Jentri and have her come HERE!" she screamed.
"Ok.. Just breathe.. You're going to be fine," I said trying to calm her down.
"Call her!"
"I am," I said reaching into my pocket for my cell phone.
"Hey, Jentri, its Randy, no, I'm fine, its Erynn, her water broke and she wants you to come here, she won't get up, yes, mhmm. Okay, see you soon," I said hanging up.
"Well?"
"She said to try and relax and keep breathing."
"Okay," she said trying to soothe herself.
7:15
"Randy? Where are you guys at?"
"In here!" Erynn screamed from the bedroom.
"Oh gosh, Erynn, why couldn't you have just come to hospital?"
"Because, I'm not driving everyone down there, now please, get this baby out of me!" She screamed at Jentri. Jentri nodded and started moving Erynn's legs into comfortable positions.
"Randy, you might want to take the kids somewhere else," Jentri said looking over her shoulder.
"Of course," he said hauling the kids into the other room as fast as his wheelchair would take him.
"Daddy?"
"What?"
"Is mommy gunna be ok?"
"Mommy? Oh, yeah, she is going to be fine, she's gunna have your little sister."
"YAY!"
"Alanna, take Tate and go in the back yard and play, I'll bring you drinks and snacks, but no coming inside, if you have to go to the bathroom, go downstairs."
"Yes sir," she said saluting me in her John Cena way. I winked at her and went back into the room with Erynn and Jentri.
"I'm going to count to 3 and then I want you to push as hard as you can ok? Randy you might wanna hold her hand," Jentri said looking at me. I nodded and went over next to Erynn and held out my hand. She took it and took a deep breath.
"Okay, 1… 2… 3… Push!" Erynn squeezed my hand and pushed, I almost died, she was cutting off circulation.
"Good, a couple more times and she'll be out."
"I don't know if I can handle this," I mumbled.
"Why is that? You're not having the baby."
"But my hand is already swelling," I whined.
"Take it like a man, 1… 2… 3… Push!"
Erynn pushed again, but this time she didn't squeeze my hand as tight, knowing it hurt me, once Jentri told her to stop, she looked up at me and smiled.
"Her head's out, one more time Erynn, one more, ready. 1…2…3… Push!"
Erynn did as she was told and I shut my eyes. When I heard the sound of our new baby crying I opened them and looked over at her. Jentri gave me some scissors and I cut her umbilical cord and rolled to Alanna's room to grab a blanket.
I came back in with a soft, lavender blanket, then went to go get the kids.
"Daddy! You forgot our drinks and our snacks, but its okay, we got a drink from the garden hose," Tate said smirking.
"Sorry, but I have something better for you to see, come on."
They followed me into the room where Erynn was holding our new baby girl, Tate and Alanna's eyes got big as they walked over to the side of the bed.
"She looks like me," Alanna giggled.
"Nuh uh! She looks like me!" Tate yelled.
"Sshhhh, you guys will upset her," Erynn whispered.
They both stuck their tongues out at each other and then looked at the baby.
"So this is gunna be the little miss RKO?" Jentri asked.
"Yes ma'am, it sure is," I said smiling at my family.
