Chapter 5
Once Cody had calmed down he pulled his daughter into a hug. He wasn't happy that at 15 she was pregnant. After hugging Piper for what seemed like forever, Cody picked up the phone and called Randy.
Randy agreed to for him, Sam and Ryan to come over. Randy was confused as to why Cody was asking them over to the house. Lorelei and Cody told Matthew to take Vincent out for Pizza and a movie as they didn't want them home while Randy was there.
After Matthew and Vincent left, Randy, Samantha and Ryan arrived. It was a bittersweet meeting to say the least. Randy knew that Ryan had been dating Piper, but didn't know that they had broken up and that she was pregnant. But all that was about to change.
"Ok. So why are we here, Cody?" Randy asked.
"I'm glad that you want to get straight to the point. So here it is. Your son got my daughter pregnant." Cody stated.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Randy stated angrily.
"I wish I were. It was confirmed this morning. She apparently took a home test yesterday and she even told Ryan about the baby." Cody responded.
"Ryan?" Samantha asked.
"Whatever." Ryan responded.
"You will take responsibility for this, boy!" Randy stated.
"How do you even know it's mine?" Ryan asked.
"Piper?" Cody asked.
"I have only been with one person and that was Ryan the night of the Hall of Fame Ceremony." Piper answered.
"That's not what I've been hearing." Ryan stated.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Cody yelled.
"Your daughter is slut around school. Just ask any of the senior and junior classmen." Ryan answered.
"How dare you call my daughter names in front of me!" Cody yelled again. "You are a liar!"
"Watch your tone with my son, Cody." Randy warned.
"Or what? You'll RKO me? I'm not afraid of you." Cody snapped.
"Samantha, Ryan, go get in the car, now." Randy stated as he starred Cody down.
"Running out on responsibilities is just like you, Orton." Cody stated.
Randy, Samantha and Ryan all left the Rhodes' house without another word to Cody, Lorelei or Piper. Piper ran up to her room crying. Cody wasn't mad at her, he knew she was telling the truth. Lorelei knew to leave her husband alone when he was angry, so she headed upstairs to check on Piper.
"Piper, are you ok?" Lorelei asked.
"No. How can he say that the baby isn't his? I know it's his." Piper cried.
"I know that. I don't know why he said that, honey. I'm sure that your father will get the answers we all want." Lorelei stated as she hugged her daughter.
The following week was a very busy week in the Rhodes' house. Family and friends were coming in from all over the country to see Matthew graduate from High School. Lorelei and Cody decided not to tell anyone else about Piper being pregnant until after everyone was back home after the graduation.
Lorelei stood at the airport and waited for her parents flight to arrive. Cheyenne was also coming in on the same flight. Cody's parents were also arriving that afternoon on a different flight. Vincent was there waiting with his mom for his grandparents and aunt. Cody on the other hand was at a different airport getting Matt and Jeff Hardy and Ted DiBiase and his wife.
Once everyone was gathered at the Rhodes' house for dinner, everyone started to relax a little more. Jeff noticed that Piper wasn't acting her usual self and went over to talk to her. She told him that she was just stressed over finals and her break-up with Ryan.
The next day was graduation day for Matthew. Everyone arrived at the arena about an hour before the ceremony was scheduled to start. Piper hadn't been feeling too good that morning, but managed to put on a smile for her older brother.
Piper still couldn't believe that Matthew would be leaving home in a few days for Ohio Valley Wrestling school. She knew that he wanted to follow in their dad's footsteps and she wanted to follow in their mom's, but now that she was pregnant, how could she possibly attend a 4-year college and raise a child.
After the graduation, everyone headed back to the house for the graduation party. Piper snuck away to her room as she really didn't want to be around a bunch of seniors. Lorelei noticed that Piper wasn't downstairs and went up to her room.
"Piper please come back downstairs. This is your brother's night." Lorelei pleaded with her daughter.
"I don't want to be around a bunch of guys who probably already know about my situation. Plus you said that you didn't want the rest of the family knowing about it. So I think I will just stay up here and chill out." Piper responded.
"Piper, please don't do this." Lorelei stated.
"I don't want to come down. Can you just leave me alone?" Piper snapped.
"Don't talk to me like that. After all I've done for you in the past week, I don't deserve this." Lorelei responded.
"And I don't deserve to be here anymore." Piper stated as she grabbed her phone and bag and darted down the stairs and out the door.
Lorelei tried to go after her, but Piper was pretty quick. Lorelei headed back into the house and pulled Cody aside and told that Piper took off. Cody told her not to worry too much about it and that Piper just needed some time to cool off.
Meanwhile, Piper attempted to call Ryan but no answer. She managed to find her way to his house. She attempted to call him again, this time he answered. She told him that she was outside his house and wanted to talk.
"Why are you here?" Ryan asked.
"Why are you denying this baby is yours?" Piper answered.
"Do you really think that my parents are going to be happy about me getting you pregnant?" Ryan asked.
"Why don't you ask your dad? He's standing right behind you." Piper answered.
Ryan turned around to see his father standing there looking in disbelief at what he just heard. He couldn't believe that Ryan had been lying to him all this time about Piper's baby. Randy apologized to Piper and made Ryan go in the house.
Piper didn't want to stick around to find out what was going to happen with Ryan, so she took off before Randy could invite her inside. Piper knew that Ryan was going to get more than an ear full from Randy. But he deserved it after what he did to her.
Piper continued to walk through Greenwich, but soon became lost in her thoughts about Ryan, the baby and school. She wasn't paying attention to where she was going and didn't hear the car's horn or squealing tires.
"Lori, where is Piper?" Cody asked after everyone had left.
"I don't know. She took off after getting upset with me. Did you try calling her phone?" Lorelei answered.
"Not yet. I'm sure she's fine. I wonder if she tried to go see Ryan." Cody responded.
Cody pulled out his phone and dialed Piper's number. Piper didn't answer her phone and the call went to voice mail. Cody left her a quick message and hung up. After getting Vincent to bed, Matthew joined his parents in the kitchen waiting to hear from Piper. It wasn't until nearly midnight when Cody's phone rang.
"Hello?" Cody answered.
"I am looking for Cody Rhodes." the caller stated.
"That's me. Who is this?" Cody asked.
"My name is Gina and I work at Greenwich Community Hospital. Your daughter Piper was brought in about 2 hours ago." Gina stated.
"Is she ok?" Cody asked.
"We would like for you to come down to the hospital as soon as possible." Gina stated.
"My wife and I are on our way. Thank you." Cody stated as he hung up.
"Cody, what's wrong?" Lorelei asked getting worried.
"Piper was brought into Greenwich Community Hospital about 2 hours ago. They need us to come down there. She didn't say anything more about Piper." Cody answered as he grabbed his keys and wallet. "Matthew, I need you to say with Vincent, please."
"Sure dad. Call me with any information if possible." Matthew stated.
"We will." Lorelei stated.
When Cody and Lorelei arrived at the hospital's emergency room, they went straight to the nurses station and asked for Piper. Gina was sitting at the desk and took them to the waiting room.
"I will let the on call doctor know that you are here. Please have a seat." Gina stated.
"Can you tell us anything about our daughter?" Lorelei asked fighting back tears.
"I'm sorry, but you will have to wait for the doctor. Hospital policy." Gina answered before leaving the room.
Cody and Lorelei sat in the waiting room for what seemed like forever waiting on the doctor. Lorelei was worried about Piper as was Cody and they both wanted to know what happened to her that cause her to wind up in the ER. They also wanted to know why it took 2 hours to contact them about her being there.
