Chapter 19
"Randal Keith Orton!" Vanessa snapped.
"What did I do?" Randy responded as he held Rayne closer to him.
"Dani is pregnant." Vanessa stated.
"Uh no she's not." Randy responded.
"Yes she is." Vanessa stated angrily.
"You scare me when your angry. But Dani is not pregnant." Randy responded as Dani walked back into catering with Teddy behind her.
"What's going on?" Dani asked.
"You're pregnant." Vanessa answered with an attitude.
"No I'm not." Dani lied.
"Yes. You are. I was going over all the stars lab results from the drug testing and they ran a pregnancy test on you and it came back positive. You're pregnant, aren't you?" Vanessa demanded to know.
"Nessa, back off of them. So what if Dani is or isn't. She and Randy are married." Ted stated.
"If she is pregnant, how are they going to take care of two babies. Rayne needs everyone right now." Vanessa responded.
"Vanessa! You are being mean and selfish. Now apologize to Randy and Dani." Ted demanded. "I am sure that they can handle two children, if they are pregnant."
"You know what, I don't need this. Nessa, you have a loving husband and beautiful daughter. I am thankful to be in her life as well as Randy's. What happens in our marriage is our business. I know that Randy is responsible for Rayne when she is with us and that will never change. I know that you only want what's best for your daughter and I completely understand that, but you can't be mad at us if we choose to have a baby of our own. We will not love Rayne any less because of that. I really hope you can understand that and the fact that while I love Rayne with all my heart, I too want a baby of my own with my husband." Dani responded before storming out of the room.
"Thanks Vanessa." Randy stated as he stood up with Rayne and left to go find his wife.
"I honestly thought you were over him when you married me." Teddy responded.
"I am over him. I just don't..." Vanessa started to say.
"You don't want to see him have a baby with someone else, right?" Teddy asked.
"No. I just want him to pay attention to Rayne." Vanessa answered.
"Did you not listen to what Dani said?" Teddy asked. "Because she clearly stated that no matter what, they will always have time for Rayne as well as a baby of their own. You need to apologize to both of them, before it gets even more out of hand."
Ted left Vanessa standing alone in catering while he went to make sure that Dani and Randy were ok. He wasn't at all worried about them having a baby of their own and caring for Rayne. He knew how much Rayne meant to the both of them and how much they loved her. Vanessa stood in catering a little while longer before going to find Randy first.
"Randy, can I talk to you?" Vanessa asked.
"Are you going to yell at me some more and accuse me of not wanting Rayne?" Randy answered.
"No. I wanted to apologize to you for what I said. I was wrong and Dani and Teddy were right. It shouldn't matter to me if you and Dani have a baby together as that will never change how you feel about Rayne. I know you both love her and care deeply about her. I'm sorry." Vanessa responded.
"Thank you. No matter what, Rayne is my daughter and no one can take that place away from her. I will always love her and care for her unconditionally. Dani too." Randy stated.
"Is Dani really pregnant?" Vanessa asked.
"Yes. She is 7 weeks today. Please don't upset her anymore than she already is." Randy answered.
"I won't. I just want to apologize to her. Where is she?" Vanessa asked.
"She's outside with Teddy and Rayne." Randy answered. "I need to get ready for my match."
"Ok. Thank yyou Randy. And again, I'm sorry for what I said and the way I acted. I am happy for you and Dani." Vanessa stated before leaving Randy to change.
Dani, Teddy and Rayne were outside getting some air when Vanessa walked out. Teddy gave Vanessa a warning look and she just nodded her head. Teddy took Rayne from Dani and headed inside leaving the two women to talk.
"Dani, I wanted to apologize for what I said and the way I acted. I am happy for you and Randy. And I hope that you can forgive me someday." Vanessa stated.
"Nessa, I understand that you still care and love Randy, but you need to realize that he and I are married and would eventually want to have of our children of our own too. Our love for Rayne won't change when we add to our family. She will be a big sister to our children and that is something special. I loved being a big sister to my sisters. And I wouldn't change anything in the world as long as they were still there." Dani responded. "Nessa, I could have been upset and angry with you and broke things off with Randy when I found out that you were pregnant with his daughter, but I wasn't and I didn't. Yes, I was a little jealous, but as soon as Rayne was born and I held my beautiful step-daughter for the first time that jealousy went away and she has made our house such a happy house that I can't help but want to add to that happiness. And like you had me in the delivery room when Rayne was born, I want you there when I have my baby. I know that Randy probably has already told you, but I am 7 weeks pregnant. We just didn't want too many people to know and we weren't sure how you would take it. Plus we didn't want the press and dirt sheets getting wind of the pregnancy."
"Thank you, Dani. I couldn't have asked for a better step-mom for Rayne. I know that she loves you as much as you love her. I would be honored to be there when you have the baby." Vanessa stated as the two women hugged.
