A few weeks had past since Kourtney was released from the hospital, and was feeling more and more better. That night after Ted called her 'baby' for the first time, they stayed in Ted's apartment in Mississippi as promised and waited on her hand and foot. For the time being, John has also left Kourtney alone, but thought it was probably because he didn't know her new number and had his blocked. Or it could be because she hadn't returned back to work yet. For whatever the reason, she was just glad John was keeping his distance, and therefore the cramping and spotting had ceased.
It was now the day of Valentine's Day and while the superstars were on the road, Ted promised Kourtney that they would do something special.
"So what's the plan for tonight?" Randy Orton asked his friend as Ted began to get dressed.
"My plan is we have dinner reservations at the hotel restaurant and then just kind of relax back in our room."
"Oh, so you guys are sharing a room?" Randy asked with a raised eyebrow. "Things must be getting pretty serious between you guys."
Ted shrugged as he buttoned the last few buttons on his white dress shirt. "We have spent a lot of time together, and I will admit that I'm crazy about her. As far as rooming together…well I want to keep an eye on Kourt.
"Why do you want to keep an eye on her?"
"Just to make sure she is healing and doing ok. That phone call I got from her sister was scary. I don't want to go through that again, and I just feel a lot better that she's with me. But you can't tell John she's on tour. Even though Kourtney has been feeling better, I don't want her to have any stress around."
"I won't say anything, I promise," Randy said. "Did you get her anything?"
Without saying anything, Ted dug through his luggage and took hold of a small jewelry box. "I got her a diamond heart necklace," he said, showing Randy the jewel.
Randy nodded, clearly impressed. "Very nice, very nice."
Meanwhile back at the hotel, Kourtney and Eve were having a similar conversation about the night's events. "So, what if Ted asks you to be exclusive?" Eve asked with a smile. "Would you say yes?"
Kourtney raised an eyebrow as she looked at her friend through the mirror. "Do you know something I don't?"
Eve shook her head. "No I don't know anything I promise. It's just, you guys have been spending a lot of time together so it's bound to happen soon. Or at least I would like to think so."
Kourtney giggled as she smoothed out any wrinkles in the little black dress she was wearing. "Put it this way, Ted is an amazing guy," she said as she sat at the edge of the bed, slipping into some peep toe pumps. "And my baby is lucky because Ted's going to be a great dad."
"And a great boyfriend for mommy," Eve smiled as the two friends giggled. "By the way, what did you get him?"
"I really didn't know what to get him, or if I should get him anything. So, I found this frame that say's Daddy's Baby on it, and I stuck a sonogram picture in it. Later on after the baby is born, an actual picture can be inserted as well."
"Aw, that's sweet. He's going to love it," Eve replied as they both heard a soft knock on the door. "I bet that is your date!"
Kourtney playfully rolled her eyes as she headed toward the door. "I think your more excited than me!"
As soon as Ted was in view, a big smile grew upon her face. "Hi!" she exclaimed.
Dressed in khaki's and white dress shirt, Ted was trying hard to not let his jaw drop to the floor. The little black dress Kourtney donned hugged all of the right curves and she looked incredible. "Wow," he finally stuttered. "You look absolutely amazing."
"Aw, thank you," she said.
"Shall we go?" Ted asked, offering his arm.
Kourtney nodded as she looped her arm through Ted's and then turned back toward her friend. "Thanks for helping me get ready Eve," she smiled.
"Not a problem! Have a great night."
Through the halls, in the elevator and as they made their way through the lobby, Ted and Kourtney never once stopped their conversation. To strangers, it looked as if they were a couple in love for several years.
"There you are my lady," Ted said as he pulled out Kourtney's chair.
"Thank you," she smiled as Ted made his way to his own chair.
Within moments, a waitress came and took their drink and food orders. "I didn't think you liked lasagna," Ted commented once they were alone again.
"I usually don't, but for some reason it sounded really good tonight. I think my cravings are starting to kick in," she smiled.
Ted then leaned forward on the table. "Have I told you lately how much I love your smile?"
"You are so sweet!"
After dinner, the couple walked hand in hand back to their room. "I thought we could just chill out and watch a movie or whatever is on tv," Ted suggested as he closed their door.
Kourtney nodded as she walked closer to the WWE superstar, wrapping her arms around his neck. "That sounds great and I have to thank you for an amazing night. This has been the best Valentines day I have had in a long time."
"It was my pleasure," he replied softly as he snaked his muscular arms around the make up artist's waist. "By the way, do you want your present?"
"Teddy, you didn't have to get me anything!"
"But I wanted to," he replied as they both walked toward the bed and sat down. Ted then dug into his pants pocket and handed the brunette a small box. Not saying anything Kourtney opened it and gasped out loud.
"Oh my God! Ted it's beautiful!" she gushed.
"Do you like it?" he asked as he watched Kourtney jump off the bed and lightly run her fingers over the necklace once it was securely fastened.
"I love it! Thank you," she replied before grabbing a wrapped gift from her suitcase. "Ok, so I really didn't know what to get you, but I think you'll like it. If you don't, will you at least lie to me and say you do?"
Ted laughed out loud as he took the thinly wrapped gift from her hand. "You didn't have to do anything for me, and I am sure it's great!"
Kourtney didn't say anything as she kicked off her shoes and watched Ted open the gift. When she looked up, she couldn't help but smile. A visible smirk came across Ted's lips as he looked over the frame.
"Daddy's baby," he read out loud. "Kourt, I love it. Thank you," he said as he leaned and quickly pecked her lips.
"Your not just saying that are you?"
"No of course not. I really like it," Ted said as he looked at the frame once again. "When I get back to my place, I know where the picture is going to go-on top of my tv, so I can see it all the time."
Kourtney smiled as Ted cradled her cheek, and crashed his lips upon hers once more. At first their kisses were slow but passionate, and as things went further, Ted knew there was something he needed to say.
"Baby…I want us to be exclusive," he finally stuttered in between kisses. "I want to be able to call you my girlfriend."
Breaking the kiss, Kourtney grinned as she bit her bottom lip. "Yeah?"
Ted nodded. "Yeah. You are just so incredible, and things have been going well for us over the last several weeks. I only want them to get better."
"I want things to get better too," Kourtney agreed as she kissed Ted once more. Once again, the mini make out session grew more hotter and as Ted laid Kourtney down on the king sized bed, he broke the embrace.
"Wait, so does that mean yes? I can call you my girlfriend, no if's, ands or buts."
Kourtney giggled as her right hand rubbed Ted's arm. "Yes of course that mean's yes!"
"Good because I wouldn't have it any other way."
She nodded. "Has anyone ever told you that you talk to much?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
Ted only chuckled as Kourtney's arms slowly looped around his neck, pulled him down and crashed their lips together. Their make out session grew more and more intense and as Ted's lips broke from her lips and began to leave a trail down her neck, Kourtney couldn't take it anymore.
"Teddy...make love to me."
"Are you sure?" he asked, making eye contact.
The only movement in the night time was his now girlfriend's head nodding, and he could see Kourtney's eyes clouded over with want. Ted then sat up, removed his shirt and turned off the hotel lamp, only leaving a glow from the city's outside lights as a way to see. Not saying anything, Kourtney sat up for only a second and removed the dress, leaving her only in her panties and strapless bra. Ted took in her beauty for a moment and as he climbed on top of his girlfriend, the WWE superstar had every intention on showing her how he truly felt.
