Chapter 15

My Wish

"I'm canning the love triangle storyline," Vince's eyes narrowed towards Chris Jericho who just shrugged his shoulders.

"Why the change of heart?" Raleigh asked, her hands in the front pocket of her hoodie. The first four months of her pregnancy had flown by and Randy was still the only person who knew about the baby, or so they thought. Time was running out though and she was finally starting to show, just a little bump, barely noticeable on most people, but on a diva's body- it would reveal itself.

Raleigh started wearing looser clothes, not too lose though, not wanting to draw attention to the fact that her style suddenly went from skimpy to baggy out of nowhere. She had been avoiding super tight shirts whenever she absolutely had to go out to ringside with Randy.

"I feel like it won't be going anywhere once we start it. I want to finish the storyline like it was originally planned. Raleigh helps Orton keep the title at Wrestlemania, he will of course be facing Undertaker, her helping him means he'll break the Deadman's undefeated streak. He'll make history."

"Okay," Chris readily agreed, he didn't want to be in the storyline in the first place, he only convinced Vince to change it because Raleigh had begged him. He turned on his heels, spinning around and walking off once he got the 'vibe' from Mr. McMahon that he was done with him. He motioned for Randy and Raleigh to follow him into the office.

"This can't be good," she whispered to Randy as she followed behind him. He nodded in agreement, Vince knew something was up. He always did. He had so many spies in the locker room he was bound to find out everything and anything.

Vince pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a small sigh, shaking his head a bit.

"You have to understand that this situation is very delicate. Times are changing and the ratings are dropping," he looked up quickly, shaking his head from left to right. "Which, is pretty apparent at this time." Vince threw a sheet of paper on the desk in front of them, the ratings of all the shows listed in order.

"Whoa… you're not firing us are you?"

"Raleigh!" Randy shot her a sideways glance, pushing for their release was not a good idea at the time, due to the fact that they had already broken the contract.

"No, no… I do want to do something radical, not that radical though." He sat down and let out a sigh. "We're going to bring back a storyline from quite some time ago, although it was controversial, it got ratings, a lot of ratings."

Randy didn't like where he was going with this, controversial could mean a number of things when it came to their line of work, and anything risking Raleigh or the baby's health.

"We're going to do a repeat of Amy Dumas' storyline. Whenever she was having Kane's baby? You remember?"

"Of course," Raleigh's eyes lit up, she was not prepared to do what she was pretty sure he was referring to. She definitely knew already, Lita was always one of her absolute favorite divas and she had followed her career since she was a child.

"Starting next week we'll have the crew film you two talking about the baby so that the storyline can get a jump start. Undertaker will claim he didn't know about the baby whenever he throws Raleigh off the ringside into the announce table. She'll of course be trying to interfere with the first title match between the two and that's when it happens. Randy will be out to seek revenge once he finds out Raleigh had lost the baby… which brings you to Wrestlemania where you gain your revenge and the title." Vince had almost run out of breathe by the time he was finished pitching the revamped storyline.

"Um… okay," Raleigh glanced at Randy before looking back at her boss with a fake smile. She couldn't go through with this storyline, the stunt would hurt her real child, but telling the truth about the situation would get them both fired, she was stuck in a very tight position.

"We'll do it," Randy simply stated, before getting up to leave, holding the door open for Raleigh, as she scooted out, Vince smiled at the two.

"I'm glad you're so willing to change the plans, you're both some of my best superstars."

Randy nodded and shut the door quietly, turning to Raleigh with a panicked look on his face.

"What the hell are we going to do?"

"It's ironic, isn't it?" She flipped her hair over her shoulder and started to walk off.

"This is serious Raleigh, you can't sweep it under the rug and pretend it will go away, cause it obviously won't." He tugged lightly on the back of her hoodie, making her stop and turn around, revealing the tears in her eyes. "Look, don't cry, we'll figure this out. I promise," he hugged her tightly, letting go quickly whenever he heard someone coming around the corner. Even though the two had decided to get back together once the baby news was broken, they were still unable to show 'outside affection' as Vince had so gracefully put it months ago.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Chris beamed a smile as he held out an ice cream cone for Raleigh. She smiled half-heartily and took the cone.

"Chris, I need to tell you something…" Randy gave Raleigh a sideways glance as she started to talk, he wasn't sure if he wanted him to know, even if it was her best friend.

"About the story line? Did he change anything?" Chris smiled as he handed the cone over.

"Oh he changed a lot…" Randy rubbed the stubble growing on his chin while he still contemplated everything that had just happened.

"Ahh intrigue, do tell." He put his arm around Raleigh and scooted her away, he still didn't like Randy and was very obvious about showing it.

Randy just rolled his eyes as Chris confiscated Raleigh.

"Okay… whatever," Randy went off back to the locker room to get changed for the evening.

As she explained the situation Chris got just a little too giddy.

"A baby storyline! I could just imagine you as a mommy…. Haha… ha… ha, ahhh," he continued to laugh a little bit longer. All the while the only thing Raleigh could think of was if he only knew.

"I don't want to do this storyline Chris, I'm serious."

"Well, what's so wrong with it?" He seemed a bit perplexed by how strongly she seemed to feel about the situation, there had to be some reason why it bothered her so much but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. "Rawls…"

"Look, it was an accident okay! And you can't tell Randy I told yo-"

"Please, please please," he instantly began to cut her off before she could finish her sentence, "do not tell me you are carrying his child! I just thought you were getting fat…"

Raleigh scoffed and gave him the dirtiest look she had in her repertoire.

"I'm joking, I had my suspicions but I was praying to baby Jesus that it wasn't true, and I'm not even religious."

"Just, don't tell him okay? We're both scared but he actually seems to be pretty excited about it, I wasn't expecting that." She sighed and threw the ice cream out, losing her appetite the conversation lingered on.

"So, you're not excited?" Chris honestly didn't know whether to be excited or horrified, he loved Raleigh and knew she would make a great mother, but he was still not sold on Orton at this point.

"I am, I've already picked out girl and boy names, I mean, the baby is only four months but I feel so attached to it." She sat down on an available bench in a secluded area, the last thing she needed at this point was for the whole locker room to find out about the delicate topic.

"Well you have to tell Vince… or come up with some brilliant reason why you can't wrestle. You can't risk going into the ring!" It was funny to Raleigh how the man who claimed he would never want children in a million years was already so protective of her little unborn peanut.

"I know, I know. I plan on only going to ringside with Randy, and even with that… very rarely. I'm an excellent liar so I know I can avoid it most of the time. Plus, with this storyline they don't even have me wrestling in any of my own matches, so that buys me a little time." She let out a huff of air and leaned her head back on the concrete wall, it wasn't comfortable, but made her feel like she could think easier."What are you going to do when you have to 'fake' the baby and the injury?"

"It won't get that far, I'll be very visible by then. As big as a blimp I'd assume," she grimaced at the thought of that. Although she was more then ecstatic for her little baby, she did not want the weight gain to go with it.

Suddenly Randy approached them, looking a little bit confused. He sighed, he knew Raleigh like the back of her hand and could only assume that she told him. He wasn't mad, just worried about it getting out.

"I banked on you telling him so I don't really care." He sat down next to Raleigh and leaned up a little so he could see Chris. "I know we aren't on great terms man, but please don't tell anyone."

"No problem, man." Chris nodded his head, Randy seemed very genuine, not to mention he didn't want to break his promise with Raleigh.

Chris stood up and looked between the two, smiling like a chesire cat.

"So, are the parents to be excited yet?"

Randy gently placed his hand on Raleigh's still not very big belly and grinned.

"You know, I never pictured myself saying this… but yeah. I'm already in love with the little guy."

"Or girl," she reminded him, placing her hand on top of his.

"Ahh, this is getting too corny for me, just move on to the names please," he chuckled as he shook his head at their cheesiness.

"Caiden for a boy and Alice for a girl." Randy cut her off, he was excited since she let him pick the potential boy name."I could honestly see a little Alice running around the ring years from now… the wrestling world will never be the same." His doubt in Randy seemed to fade slightly just with this conversation, they both appeared thrilled and he decided he was definitely happy for them.

"Okay, I just have to ask… is there any way both of you will do me a favor?" Raleigh did her infamous puppy dog pout face and looked between the two. They both nodded their heads and awaited her question. "Since you're my two favorite boys will you please go out and at least attempt to bond? For me?" She accentuated the last question, pleading their answers would be yes.

They both exchanged glances and Randy shrugged, it wouldn't kill him to have another male friend since he had so few. Chris also agreed by the nod of his head, he wasn't all that popular with the guys in the locker room either so he didn't see a problem with it. After all, they could possibly see past each other's differences and actually hit it off.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Raleigh jumped off the bench and jumped up and down excitedly. "For the first time, I think I'm perfectly happy with my life." She gave Chris a kiss on the cheek and Randy a kiss on the lips. "I'll meet up with you guys later!" With that, she took off down the hall, practically skipping all the way.

A few hours and many drinks later, they two men were bonding like old college buddies. As they tried to out chug each other they told stories from their past in between. Stories about past girlfriends, how they got into wrestling, parties, and everything in between. At one point Chris was gasping for air as he laughed hysterically at one of Randy's hazing stories of when he was still fresh to the WWE.

Randy tried to stop laughing as well once he heard his phone ring. He quickly took it out of his pocket and saw the caller ID, it was Raleigh's dad. He hushed Chris and plugged one ear with his finger as he tried to block out the sounds of the bar.

"Hello? Yeah… no, I'm at the bar with Chris Jericho. No… why? What? She's where? We'll be right there." Randy hung up the phone and gave Chris a worried look, he knew it could be no good.

"What's wrong man?"

"It's Raleigh…"

"What?" Chris was starting to get just as worried as Randy looked.

"She's in the hospital. She got in a car accident."
