"Everyone this is my Randy" I said, introducing him to the others.
They all nodded kindly as Randy grinned at them, "It's nice to meet you all."
"Randy, this is Molly and Peter, they've been like my second parents, Molly has been like the mum I never had" I said.
"Well, it's an honour to meet you two. Lea speaks nothing but good things" said Randy.
I then glanced at my English boyfriend, who awaited his introduction, "And Randy, you've already met Wade."
"Nice to see you, man" said Randy putting his hand out, "Thank you for inviting me over to your home."
Wade shook his hand, "Thank you for coming."
I smiled at the both of them; at least they managed to not rip each other's heads off. I was mostly proud of Wade for finally swallowing his pride.
Randy then glanced at the little girl that stood behind Wade's leg. He knelt down near her and smiled, "And who's this?"
"That is my daughter" said Wade.
"So this is the famous Adele that I hear about, you are gorgeous" said Randy, "My name's Randy."
She smiled, "How do you know who I am?"
"My best friend Lea told me, you're really lucky to have her. I used to think that she belonged with me, but now I can see how happy she is with your Dad and you" said Randy.
"I'm happy that she's here too" said Adele.
I smiled at Adele as I picked her up, kissing her cheek. "I love you."
Randy watched as I played with Adele, he could see this whole family coming together. He then looked up at Wade, "Hey Wade, could I speak with you alone?"
I was a little started by his words and I looked at Wade, who looked a little startled himself.
"Sure Randy" said Wade as he led Randy into another room. I smiled at Wade, who returned the smile at me. The four of us watched as the two men disappeared into another room.
...
"Wade... I just really want to talk to you man to man" said Randy, "I know you're capable of that."
"What do you want to talk about?" asked Wade, crossing his arms.
"I know we don't like each other, you can hate me all you want because to tell you the truth I'm not that keen on you either but the whole reason Lea wanted me here, was because she wanted me to know how happy she was with you and everyone living here. She wanted me to know how much you all love her" said Randy.
"Of course, we all do" said Wade.
"Yes, I see that. I see everything she told me, Lea has been in my life since I was about 5; she has been the only thing in my life that has remained constant. But because I was stubborn and wouldn't change I lost her... to you" explained Randy, "I can see that she has everything she's ever wanted and that was a family."
"I'm assuming you already know that she's pregnant, how do you feel about that?" asked Wade, "Of course I of all people know, how close you and Lea are. So I knew you had known about it, but how did it feel that she was going to have a baby to another man?"
"I'll tell you the truth, It felt horrible. I was devastated that she was pregnant, especially at first because I thought it was your child. But then she told me that it might be John's then I felt devastated for her, because I know she wouldn't want to have a child with him. I mean honestly, I know she never really loved John. I mean that's why when I kissed her the day before her wedding; I know how happy she was."
"You kissed her before her wedding?" asked Wade, fumes beginning to build within him.
"Of course I did, I love her and I know she was still in love with me but she was stuck with John so she didn't have the heart to do anything, so I decided to do something about it" said Randy smugly.
Wade chuckled, "And that's why straight after she and John broke off their wedding she came to me, not you."
"Well... I guess seeing the scheming and manipulating I did to her and John, I can see why she didn't want to be with me. But I have changed now and I know I'm the man she wanted me to be."
"Look, I'm sick of pretty boys like you and Cena trying to get in my way!" exclaimed Wade.
"No... I'm not trying to get in your way. You can have Lea; I want her to stay with you. I didn't come here to fight; I just wanted to tell you what my opinion is."
"Well go on" said Wade.
"I just want to warn you, not to let your jealous side out. That's what cost me Lea and I don't want you to lose her because I don't want to her to be hurt."
"So what are you saying?" he asked confused.
"Lea is yours. I'm not after her anymore. I am her friend and friend only" he said.
"Don't think this makes me trust you, I still think of you as that waste of skin you were about six months ago" said Wade.
"I still think you're that son of a British bitch you were six months ago" said Randy smirking.
...
It looked like the two had sorted out their issues. But every now and then they did shout insults at one another. I'm sure both of them were not welcome to the idea of a repeat of the night, but both sides had changed opinions of what they had thought about the other and I was just happy with that.
Randy said good bye to everyone, even shaking Wade's hand again. I couldn't help but laugh at the two; they looked so uncomfortable with the other. But I was thankful because I knew they were doing it for me. I walked Randy outside, "So what did you think, still think their uptight people living in a mansion?"
Randy grinned as he touched my cheek, "I'm happy for you Lea, you've found a home. Forgive me for thinking that my home was with you."
"You can always come to see me, we're working together now. It's not like we're not going to see each other" I said.
He shook his head, "I just want a home for me."
I hadn't realised how lonely Randy was, everyone seemed to have someone but him.
"But these people are very nice... even I hate to admit it, but so is Wade" said Randy.
I laughed.
"You two are perfect together" he said, "I'm happy for you. I hope he gives you that shiny ring in his room, soon"
"Shiny ring?" I asked.
He chuckled, "When Molly was showing me around the house, I found a ring."
I looked at him in shock, "You think it's... for me?"
"I hope it is" said Randy, "Get married to the right guy."
I watched Randy drive off and walked back inside the house. I was waiting to hear the verdict from the other side. I looked at Molly and Peter, "What did you think of him?"
"He's everything you told us" said Peter.
"He's very nice, actually more of a gentleman than I pictured" said Molly, "He does have your best interest at heart."
"I just worry about him, he had a horrible marriage and now he's divorced his best friend is too busy for him. I'm afraid he might be lonely" I said.
"He'll be right, we had a talk and he'll be fine" said Wade placing his hand on the small of my back, "He was fine, not as bad as we all imagined."
Molly and Peter nodded.
"We like him very much dear" she said.
"I'm glad you did, he said nothing but nice things about all of you" I said.
"I'm sure he would" said Wade, "But I think, it's time for you to rest now. It's been a long day and you need sleep, the baby wants its mother to sleep."
I smiled as I kissed his soft lips, "I love you."
"I love you too" he said.
...
I sat in bed, pulling the sheets over my body as I lay on the soft matress. I watched Wade get undressed; he kept turning back to me just to shoot me kind smiles. I had obviously thought about getting married to Wade, but I wasn't sure if he really wanted to get married again. He spoke about getting married but I wasn't sure if he actually wanted to do it, after his disastrous first marriage the only good thing that came out of it was his daughter Adele. I wondered whether Wade did want to get married to me, maybe that ring was just Nicole's. I looked at my phone; there I saw that I had a voicemail message. I listened to the message; it was the voice of my doctor. After hearing the message, I looked at Wade who was watching me, concern etched on his face as he sat next to me.
"Is everything alright, love?" he asked.
"The Doctor called and told me that they have the paternity results of the test, we can go tomorrow" I said. I glanced down at my stomach, touching my abdomen. I was very curious, yet I was fearful of the outcome.
Wade smiled, as he touched my stomach. "Everything will be alright, remember that I'm here with you always."
I nodded.
He kissed my lips and then lay next to me as he wrapped his arms around me. I never wanted him to let go. "Let's just fall asleep" he whispered in my ear.
We both knew we weren't going to be sleeping.
