Chapter 7

"Alright. Yes the baby is yours. I didn't want to tell you as I know how things are going between you and Dani and I didn't want this to ruin what the two of you have." Vanessa stated. "Now that you know, you have to tell Dani."

"Tell me what?" Dani asked as she walked in.

"Can we talk about this later?" Vanessa asked.

"No. What's going on?" Dani asked although she already knew.

"Vanessa is carrying my baby, not Teddy's." Randy answered.

"Are you sure?" Dani asked.

"The baby is Randy's. I've already had an amnio done and since Teddy and Randy were the only ones I slept with, it was rather easy to narrow it down. I just didn't want to tell Randy because I know that he is happy being with you and something like this could ruin your relationship." Vanessa answered.

"It's not going to ruin our relationship. I knew that you and Randy had a relationship prior to us being together. If anything I would want Randy to know about the baby and be apart of the baby's life if that is what he wants." Dani responded.

"Randy, what do you want to do?" Vanessa asked.

"I want to be there for the remainder of the appointments and when the baby is born." Randy answered.

"Ok. I will make sure you know when everything is." Vanessa responded.

"Thanks." Randy stated as he walked out of the room.

Dani didn't let it show but she was worried about her relationship with Randy. She loved him and wanted him to be happy, but with a baby in the picture now, how was this all going to work for them. Dani stayed in catering during the show, except for when she had to walk with Randy down to the ring. As they waited in the gorilla position, Randy decided to ask Dani an important question.

"Dani, will you come with me to St. Louis this weekend?" Randy asked.

"I don't think so. I was hoping to head to Connecticut to see my parents and sisters." Dani answered. "Maybe next weekend."

Randy could tell that something was bothering Dani, but didn't want to push it. He just nodded his head before they walked out. That night Dani curled up in bed and Randy just wrapped his arms around her. Randy wished that Dani would talk to him, but she kept insisting that nothing was wrong and that she was just tired.

The next day, Randy and Dani said goodbye at the airport. Dani had a two hour flight home and Randy had a three hour flight. Once Dani arrived in Connecticut, she headed straight to her parents house. Her dad was at work and her mom was at home. Her younger sisters were at school, so getting through the door and unpacking would be rather easy for Dani, or so she hoped.

"Mom, I'm home!" Dani called out as she walked through the front door.

"Dani! I didn't know you were coming home this weekend." Stephanie responded as she hugged her oldest daughter.

"Yeah. I needed some time away from everyone else for a few days." Dani answered as she headed up to her room.

"Dani, is everything ok?" Stephanie asked from the doorway to her room.

"No." Dani answered as she fought back tears.

"What's going on, sweetie?" Stephanie asked.

"I've made a lot of great friends and I've started to fall in love with one of them, but I just found out that he is going to have a baby with someone else." Dani answered as tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Oh Dani. Who is it?" Stephanie asked concerned.

"Randy Orton." Dani answered.

"Randy Orton? And he is having a baby with who?" Stephanie asked.

"Yeah. He's having a baby with Vanessa DiBiase." Dani answered.

"Vanessa DiBiase? But she is married to Teddy. I'm confused." Stephanie responded.

"So was I. Randy and Vanessa had a fling before she married Teddy and got pregnant by Randy. Randy just found out himself yesterday." Dani stated. "Mom, I don't know what to do. I love him and I want to be with him, but I don't know about this whole baby thing."

"Wow. Well, Dani, if you really love him and care about him, you'll find a way to be there for him. I can't imagine what is going through his head right now. How does Randy feel about you?" Stephanie asked.

"He loves me too." Dani answered.

"Ok then. Your love for each other will see through everything if its meant to be. Just don't tell your father just yet." Stephanie responded.

"Thanks Mom. I'm going to unpack and try and call Randy. He's headed to St. Louis for the weekend." Dani stated.

"Ok. Does your dad know you're home?" Stephanie asked.

"Nope. Wanted it to be a surprise for the both of you." Dani answered.
