How Taking Down Legacy Failed
Mickie's P.O.V
"Wakey Wakey" I felt poking, I groaned rolled over trying to move far away from the poker as possible. "Baby! Wake up!" I slapped Ted's hand away. "Ow! Randy tell her!"
"Let her sleep" I heard Randy's voice, this is why I love him, he understands my needs and right now my need is to sleep.
"But I want to give her my present" Ted whined.
"Your present can be to let me sleep" I mumbled and rolled over again.
"What are you going to do when there is a baby here crying and all you want to do is 'sleep', I am preparing you!" Ted moved so his face was now inches away from mine, just starring at me, making my feel uncomfortable.
I sat up and glared at him. "Do you remember when I said you were barred from my bed? I wasn't joking"
"You also told me to fuck off" Ted grinned. "Now that you're sitting up, HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLD LADY BABY!" He threw his arms around me.
"Cheers Ted" I choked out. "I'm breathing for two people now"
"I'm going to get your present!" He then ran out of the room like a little child. Randy reached out a hand to me to help me up.
"And where is your present Mister" I asked poking his chest.
"You can have it later, come on, I'll make you breakfast" Randy went to lead me out of the room, but I pulled back on his hand, he turned back towards me.
"You know tonight we were going to hang out just you me and Ted? I was wondering if Becky and Cody could come to" I asked him hopefully, he closed his eyes and sighed. "Please? They are still my best friends and I want them here"
"I don't know Mickie"
"For me?" I gave him my sad face. "Please, I know I'd appreciate it" I ran my finger up his chest; he looked down at my finger, a little grin on his face. "Please Randall? For me? For your child? "
"Babe, don't give me that look" He groaned. "Your killing me"
"Please? " I poked my bottom lip out further. "Please? "
"Mickie, I can't see them, I don't want to see them, and they'll just…" I went all out of my cute face now; he once again sighed, but nodded.
"Yey! I love you!" I put my arms around him, his arms instantly wrapped round my waist. "Now about that breakfast snake boy" I grinned cheekily. He looked at me warningly. "What? It's my birthday, I can call you what I want"
"Well tomorrow is not your birthday, so I'll have to…punish you then" He flickered his tongue over his bottom lip, tilting his head to the side, challenging me.
"Until then…snake boy"
Becky's P.O.V
"So… what are we going to do?"
I raised an eyebrow, "Nice to see you too." I took a step to the side and Cody hurried in before dropping down on the bed.
"I'm sick of… sitting around. We need to do something. I just want everything to be out there in the open."
"Yeah… Cody… I know. I've been wanting that for the last few months." I leant against the door, raising an eyebrow, "What do you suggest?"
"Well-"
"Let me guess," I sighed, "you'll call Ashley as soon as you find the right moment. I'll go and straighten it out with Randy – maybe appealing to Mickie to get him to talk to me. Then we'll go public and live happily ever after."
He gave me a look, "All right, no need to get sarcastic."
I took his hand and smiled affectionately, "Cody, don't get me wrong, I would love this all to be sorted out easily." I clicked my fingers for emphasis, "It won't though."
"I know but-"
Suddenly my phone began to chime and I scooped it up, "Hallo?"
"REBECCIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
I winced, "Hello, Ted."
"Ted!" A heard another voice groan before Mickie's voice spoke a little clearer, "Hi Becky!"
"Mickie…" I wondered what to say, "It's good to hear from you."
Cody, hearing Mickie's name, straightened slightly and looked intrigued. "You too! I've missed you! And Cody. I bet that he's there. Anyway, you know what tonight is, right?"
I smiled, "Let me guess… we're doing something for your birthday?"
"Yay, you haven't forgotten!"
"Give me a little more credit!"
She laughed, "So, you'll come?"
I paused, "Um…"
"Becky!"
"It might get… slightly awkward. Randy?"
She sucked in her breath, "Please! My birthday won't be the same without you with me!"
I hesitated but I knew that I would have to agree to go. I wouldn't ruin Mickie's brother, "Okay, we'll come."
She gave me the details and we said our goodbyes. I turned towards Cody, who looked worried. "This is going to be so awkward."
Mickie's P.O.V
"YOU KNOW YOU WANT HIM!" Ted yelled out running after me.
"GET IT AWAY FROM ME!"
"What are you doing to my future wife?" Randy asked me as I ran into his arms.
"Ted was chasing me around with a Justin Bieber CD" I told him before burying my face into his chest. "It was horrible"
"You got her a Justin Bieber CD?" Randy asked Ted in disbelief.
"Nah, not really, I'll go get her real present the ungrateful bitch" Ted muttered.
"That's the mother of my child your calling a bitch" Randy said to him warningly.
"What makes you so sure it's yours?" Ted asked Randy before winking at me. I looked up at Randy who decided to put on his viper face, the one that scared Ted. "It's…It isn't mine… I was just joking…I…I'm going to go get that present now" He scuttled out of the room.
"At least I know where to go when I need money" He chuckled, he looked down at me. "You ok?"
"I'm fine" I told him, twirling around. "Do you like my new dress?"
"It's nice…where's the other half?" He teased, I punched his arm.
"I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck" I sang to him, I had the darn song stuck in my head since Ted woke me up.
"I'm tempted sometimes" He winked at me before checking on my breakfast.
"That's so harsh" I said innocently rubbing my baby belly.
"You wouldn't expect anything less, or more, from me though!" His hand joined me on my stomach.
"And knowing that, should make you feel a little bit bad"
"Oh it does. It really does! Honestly…" He teased.
"For some reason I don't believe a word of that" I crossed my arms.
"I'm hurt and upset by that"
"Good!" I told him. "So I gave Becky a call" He just shrugged. "Her and Cody can come tonight" He didn't say anything. "Can you at least try and be pleasant to them?"
"Just because you're the birthday girl, what gives you the right to issue all these demands hmm?" Randy said throwing the cloth he was using over his shoulder.
"Because like you said I am the birthday girl" I smirked. "How about we play Raw versus Smackdown 2011, the one we all got sent, if I win you have to be extremely nice and even throw out some compliments"
"Ok, but if I win, well then babe, we are going to celebrate like it's my birthday" He leaned down and captured my lips, I trailed my fingers down his chest and he played with the hems of my shirt. I then pulled away; he leaned in to recapture the kiss.
"Hey, you haven't won yet" I told him pushing him away.
"Yet" He replied ticking with his tongue. I waited until Randy had set up the game, Randy chose himself as his character, I chose the best person in the whole of the WWE.
"Your playing as Sheamus?" Randy asked me in disbelief, "Really babe? Really?"
"Your just mad that I'm going to kick your ass" I said smugly.
"Playing as Sheamus? I don't think so"
"Playing as Sheamus, I think so"
"Promise me, you won't go all moody on me if I beat you" He teased.
"I don't need to make that promise as I'm going to win, it's you who should make the promise that you won't turn into snake boy on me"
"It's the viper" He gritted his teeth.
Ding ding ding.
Randy took charge straight away which he looked very smug about. I had no idea which buttons were which. "Give me a chance!" I yelled at him smacking his shoulder. "Randyyy" I whined. He wasn't giving me a chance! It was so frustrating. "Opps, my top has ridden up" Randy finally tore his eyes away from the television to look at me. "Gotcha" I kicked his controller from his hands.
"Oi!" He pulled at me feet, but I kicked him away."Stop cheating!" I told him.
"Me?"
"Yes you, do you see anyone else in the room snake boy?" I finally took charge of the match, Randy growled playfully at me, trying to pull my leg away. "Stop cheating! Referee! Referee! Instant disqualification!"
"Hey guys, sorry I took so long" Ted came back in the room with a box in his hands, it took all the strength I had not to run up to him excitedly, I loved presents.
"Let me guess, you didn't actually buy me a present so you had to go buy one?"
"Actually no baby, I ran into this girl" He told me.
"And?"
"And I got laid" He turned his head so he was now looking at his reflection. "Damn…" I turned back to the screen. "Who's Sheamus?" Ted asked sitting next to me.
"Who do you think?" Randy scoffed.
Ted turned his head to me. "Wise choice"
"I thought so" I told him. "I'm going to win, I'm going to…" Out of no where Randy got his finisher RKO on me, I repeated tapped the buttons until my fingers were numb before I heard the bell signalling the match was over.
"Win" Randy smirked, I lost…I lost…well this sucks. He reached over to me, but I slapped his hand away. "You said you were going to be moody"
"I'm not moody" I replied.
"So then can I have a kiss?"
"No"
"Babe"
"Don't babe me"
"You lost fair a square babe" Randy smirked annoyingly.
"No, you cheated, you pulled my leg"
"After you kicked the controllers out of my hands"
"Who are you going to believe Ted, me or a guy who calls himself snake boy?"
"Call me snake boy again babe, I dare you" Randy challenge. I looked up at him, instead of saying snake boy; I just made the hissing sound snake's make. "That's it"
"Oh crap!" I jumped up and ran into the bedroom, I hid the closet.
"Oh where, oh where could Mickie be?" Randy said as he walked into the bedroom, I felt giggling all of a sudden. "Could she be under the bed? Could she be in the bathroom or…?" He flung the closet open and picked me up.
"RANDALL!" I giggled punching his back. "Careful! Baby!"
"Oh shit right…" He put me down gently. "Still hasn't sunk in" He reached out his hand and we walked into the living room.
"How about we go to the gym? They have a ring near! We can go there and have a match!" Ted grinned rubbing his hands together.
"Oh no, I'm not doing that with you again" I poked Ted.
"Why not? What did he do?" Randy asked.
I glared at him before answering his question. "Last time we were there, we were doing a warm up in the ring"
"So?"
"I let him do his finisher on me"
"You over reacted" Ted scoffed.
"You knocked me unconscious!" I protested.
"Oh whatever, make me dinner"
"Is there something wrong with your legs?" I retorted.
"Ted knocked you unconscious?" Randy gawked, I nodded. "You do realise if I was with Mickie then I would of killed you…heck even before we go together I would of killed you"
"It was an accident, just like Mickie OOOO they just keep coming tonight" Ted said smugly mocking me.
"Whatever bitch boy, just give me my present!" I rubbed my hands together; Ted trusted his gift into my hands. I rushed to open it to reveal a large framed photograph of….Ted….
"I thought you could put it on your bed stand" Ted said, I looked at Randy, who shook his head.
"That's very kind of you Ted…"
"Don't you just love it? I take a good picture, damn!"
"I love it!" I put my arms around him. "It will be the last thing I see before I go to bed and the first thing I see when I wake up"
"Exactly!"
There was then a knock at the door. "I'll get it!"
With Ted gone I stood up, Randy followed my action. "Tonight please, for me, don't start a fight, this is the night where I want to tell them about our baby and of our engagement" He sent me a small reassuring, but yet not convincing smile. "Hey guys" I hugged both Becky and Cody.
"Happy birthday" They both said to me handing over a present and a card. "Randy" Cody nodded his head, Randy didn't reply, I sent him a sharp look. Everything then fell quiet, it was just so awkward.
"What's that smell?" Ted suddenly said breaking the silence.I looked at him puzzled, and replied "I cant smell anything"Ted responded by "Me neither, so get that fucking dinner on!"
"It's nice to know things haven't changed" Cody laughed.
"Nope your still screwing my sister, no change there" Randy muttered, but made it loud enough for us all to hear. I sent him a warning look.
"Funny, your asshole attitude, no change there either" Cody retorted.
"Cody" Becky interrupted him and gave him a sharp look.
"No need to fight when the entertainment is about to arrive!" Ted spoke up when there was another knock at the door, he rushed to answer it.
"Don't tell me he got me a stripper" I groaned. "That's more his gift!"
"I hope so" Cody grinned.
"What so my sister isn't enough for you?" Randy asked making a cheap shot. "Suppose it's my girlfriend next?"
"Randy, stop it" I snapped at him.
"Well I would treat her better" Cody sneered back at him. I nasty snarl appeared on Randy's face, his fists clenched as if he was about to lunge for him. "I wouldn't hit her for a start, remember that Randy?"
"Cody, don't" Becky now took her turn to snap at Cody.
"Well that failed" Ted moped coming back in the room. "My stripper just cancelled on me, what did I miss?"
"Do you know what I remember Cody? Ashley."
"I ended that" Cody growled.
"But remember what you said at the start of yours & hers relationship, that you've cheated on every single one of your relationships except with Ashley…guess you can't say that anymore" Randy ticked with his tongue.
"That was different, I love Becky"
"You said that about Ashley too, can't you see Becky, he's just like all the others" He said to Becky, but directing his cold stare at Cody.
"Randy please" My voice was pleading.
"What about you? Sam, Mickie? if I re-call you cheated on both of them with each other, what makes you any different?" Cody hissed at him.
"I've changed"
"What makes you think I haven't? You ought to look yourself and look your relationship before you start to interfere in mine" Cody voice was threatening, I had never seen him stand up to Randy this way. "See her cheek Randy?" Cody asked, I shook my head as he mentioned the bruise, Randy didn't have to look at me to know what he was talking about. "Then look at Becky's, see I wouldn't hurt her"
"Surely your father would of taught you a thing or two whilst growing up about …"
"What do you know about what my father taught me?" Cody snapped, getting more into Randy's face, I knew Randy had hit a nerve.
"I know that I could of kick your father's face in" Randy smirked.
"Well why don't you? Oh wait, I know, the reason is, is that your afraid"
"What the hell are they talking about?" Becky whispered to me.
"A long time ago, there was this rivalry between Randy and Cody's dad" I told her.
"Why did he bring that up?"
"Because he's a dick"
"The only person, who should be afraid Cody is you, I'm going to do things to you that require serious consequences" Randy spat.
"Randy just stop it please" I stood in the middle of them. "C'mon"
"I suggest you leave before you get your brains beaten in" Randy sneered at Cody, stepping closer.
"Once again Happy Birthday Mickie" Cody said, his eyes not leaving Randy's before he took off to the door.
"I'm so sorry about this" Becky's voice sounded as hurt as I felt. The fact they'd use us to get at each other. She then took off after Cody.
"And this concludes another episode of Teddy Springer" Ted said trying to brighten everything up. Neither me or Randy replied. "I'll just give you two a moment" Ted said stepping out also.
Becky's P.O.V
"For fuck sake, Cody! What is the matter with you?"
His face was flushed but he shook his head, "I don't regret it. Your brother is a dick."
"He's still my brother!" I yelled.
"I don't care. He's a jerk. Did you see the way that he-"
"Why did you lie to him?"
Cody blinked, suddenly thwarted, "What are you talking about?"
I turned away from him, "You told him that you'd broken up with Ashley… you haven't." Cody didn't reply, so I tutted before rubbing my forehead, "I really hate you sometimes."
He heaved a long sigh and crossed his arms against his chest, "Randy needs to understand that you're perfectly capable of looking after yourself. It drives me nuts that he's so… protective."
"I don't care! Haven't you ever heard of being the 'bigger man'? You should have just ignored him – you usually do! Why did you pick this time to stand up to him?"
"I was sick of him walking over everyone!"
I groaned in frustration before jumping to my feet and making my way to the door, "You know…"
"Oh, I can't be bothered with a lecture."
I narrowed my eyes, "Well, I can't be bothered with you. Just stay away from me, okay?"
I left.
Mickie's P.O.V
I looked down at the ground, I couldn't even look at him. He didn't say anything, god I wanted to cry, bloody hormones, I just wanted everything to be ok, I was hoping, I was praying that tonight everyone would just get along, that's all I wanted for my birthday.
"Mickie…" Randy spoke up.
"Don't" I cut him off sharply. "Just don't say anything" It was hard to breathe because I was just so angry. I should be taking it easy, but I was just so pissed off. "Why did you do it? Why? I told you not to, I told you not to start shooting your mouth off, but then you went and did it anyway" My voice increased in volume and how angry I was. "All you had to do was keep your mouth shut and you couldn't even do that" I felt my voice break, I knew I was crying, but I didn't care. "Because of YOUR stupid ego you had to start mouthing off" I screamed the last part at him, I didn't stick around for his reply, I just went to the bedroom, I wanted, I needed to calm down, I heard the front door of our hotel room slam.
"Baby?" There a gentle knock at my door, I stood up, opened it and collapsed into Ted's arm. "It's going to be ok, I promise you" He whispered to me.
"I don't want my baby to be born into this Ted" I cried to him.
Becky's P.O.V
After thinking for a while, I started to feel guilty. Cody may have acted like a jerk but so had Randy, it was unfair of me to take it out on him. So, I decided to make my way back to the room.
I opened the door and saw that the room was in darkness.
"Cody?" I said, even though I doubted that he was in there. However, when I was about to leave again, I spotted his shoes by the side, so I flicked on the light.
"Cody?" I called again and then froze as I saw a foot sticking out from the other side of the bed.
I quickly rushed over to the bed and then stopped. My heart seemed to stop for a moment.
Cody was sprawled out on his front and, usually I would have just assumed that he'd passed out in a drunken coma.
That did not run through my mind however.
Not since he was lying in a puddle of blood and barely breathing.
