Chapter 16

"Dani, are you ok?" Randy asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I just felt a little nauseous there for a moment." Dani answered.

"Ok. If you still feel like that in an hour, we're going to go see a doctor." Randy responded. "We don't need you getting sick now."

"No we don't. I'll let you know if we need to see a doctor." Dani stated as she laid down on the couch.

An hour passed and Dani was still feeling slightly nauseous but not as bad as earlier. Randy was upstairs changing Rayne and Dani headed into their bedroom to start getting things ready for a bath for Rayne. Dani started the water and looked under the sink for the baby soap. As she looked she came across a pregnancy test that she bought a few months back, just in case.

Dani closed and locked the door so she could take the test. She and Randy had talked before the wedding and decided that they were going to let nature take its course. Dani stopped taking her birth control a month before the wedding and while they were on their honeymoon, they hadn't bothered using protection at all. Dani took the test and then stuck in her drawer in the bathroom.

Dani and Randy both gave Rayne her bath and got her ready for bed. It was Dani's turn to read to Rayne and feed her before placing her in her bed. Dani enjoyed the time she had to bond with her step-daughter. Randy loved seeing Dani with his daughter and couldn't wait to experience it all again with Dani. Dani laid Rayne in her bed and turned off the light.

"Well, Mrs. Orton, we have about three hours before she wakes up again. What shall we do?" Randy asked as he wrapped his arms around his wife.

"Hmm. Why don't we get ready for bed and watch a movie. It's been a while since we just relaxed while she was sleeping." Dani answered.

"Sounds like a plan. You know you are a great step-mom to Rayne. She is very lucky to have you. And I know that when we have a baby of our own, he or she will be lucky to have you as their mommy." Randy stated.

"Thank you. You are an amazing daddy and I can't wait until we have one of our own to experience everything first hand with you." Dani responded before heading into the bathroom.

Randy quickly changed and headed downstairs to get the living room set up for their movie night. Randy made popcorn and grabbed some waters for them. He also lit some candles around the room to make it a little more romantic.

Dani changed her clothes and then remembered that the pregnancy test was still in the drawer. She took a deep breath and pull it out. As she read the back of the box, she looked down at the test. The test read a faint plus sign. She looked at the back of the box again and read that a plus sign meant that she was pregnant.

Dani couldn't believe what she was seeing. She looked between and test and the box several times to make sure she wasn't misreading or seeing things that weren't there. But each time she read the same thing and saw the same thing. Now she needed to tell Randy, but when and how. She knew that the drug testing for the company would reveal it as they always run a pregnancy test on their female athletes.

Dani took the test and headed downstairs. Randy had just poured the popcorn in a bowl and set it down on the coffee table. Dani hid the test behind her back as she walked into the kitchen. Randy turned around and smiled at his wife. He noticed that her blue eyes were sparkling and she had a coy smile across her lips.

"There you are beautiful." Randy stated.

"Yeah. Sorry it took me so long." Dani responded.

"Don't worry about it. How are you feeling?" Randy asked.

"Better. The nauseated feeling has subsided for now." Dani answered.

"That's good. What are you hiding behind your back?" Randy asked.

"There is something you need to know and I think you ought to sit down before I tell you." Dani answered.

"Hon, what's going on?" Randy asked concerned.

"Randy, while you were getting Rayne ready for her bath, I found the pregnancy test that I bought a while back and took it." Dani answered.

"And?" Randy asked hoping she would say that she was pregnant.

"It's positive." Dani answered as she showed him the pregnancy test. "I'm pregnant."
