How Taking Down Legacy Failed
Becky's P.O.V
"If you don't stop blaming yourself, I am going to kill you."
I couldn't help but laugh, "Wow, Cody, you sure know how to flatter a girl."
At that moment, Ashley walked in and looked a little bored. She nodded at me and sat on the second chair by his bed.
"Where did you go?" Cody asked curiously. "Last time I saw you; you were just there one moment, excused yourself to go and get a drink and didn't come back. What happened?"
Ashley shook her head before she said, "Nowhere. Just wanted to go and clear my head so I went for a drive. A lot has happened, y'know?"
"Right…" Cody nodded.
There was a small, slightly awkward pause.
"Hey, Becky, I heard from someone that Mickie's pregnant. Is it true?"
I nodded, "Yeah. I'm going to be an aunt." I couldn't wait until the baby was born, even though it was probably a long way off. That kid was lucky because I knew that Randy and Mickie were going to be great parents.
"An aunt? Yeah, I suppose you are." She looked thoughtful.
"You have something to look forward to." Cody pointed out, "It's highly likely that you'll be a better aunt than Latoya."
I chuckled, "Thanks, I guess."
"Well, if we still travel on the road," Cody momentarily looked puzzled, as if he was considering the idea of Mickie and Randy leaving wrestling to be with their kid, before he shook his head, "then at least you'll always be there for him… or her. Crazy aunt Becky."
"Crazy?" I punched him on the arm lightly, "Thanks."
"No problem!"
Ashley abruptly and randomly said, "Cody, when do you get out of here?"
"Later on today, hopefully!" Cody looked pleased, "I just need to have regular check-ups to see how I'm doing and I have to rest for a while but apart from that… I'm free."
"Except for the whole 'regular check ups' and 'bed-rest' thing, which means you'll either be in a hospital bed or a hotel bed." I smirked.
"That's… irrelevant. At least I have the choice." He emphasized on the last word, "Hey, Vince came to see me earlier." I had been with him at the time, so I assumed that he was addressing Ashley, "He said my job's secure and I can take as much time as I need to get better."
"Oh, that's good!" Ashley looked pleased, "Are you going to go back to wrestling."
"Of course." Cody looked a little shocked that she could think otherwise.
"Well, that's good." Ashley inclined her head slightly, "We wouldn't anything to stop you wrestling."
Mickie's P.O.V
"Where's Randy?" Ted asked walking into the room.
"He is still in bed" I replied.
"Still?"
"He had a late night" I told him. "What was all that screaming in the corridor?"
"A kid fell over, it was funny" Ted grinned stealing my toast.
"That's not funny" I slapped him and grabbed my toast back. I heard a deep groan; I turned to see Randy coming out of the bedroom, looking very sleepy. He was rubbing his eyes and was only in his boxers.
"Stupid kid screaming" He mumbled. "Now I can't get back to sleep, little fucker" He continued to grumble.
"They could be our child one day!" I pushed him. "You're such a dick, in your next life you shall be something tiny and insignificant! Whore bag"
"Oh so like your mom? OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH burn!" Randy smirked high fiving Ted.
"I'm totally going to tell her you said that" I mocked his smirk and picked up my phone.
"No! Please don't! You always diss my mum! she likes me dammit, don't ruin this!" Randy then grabbed my phone.
"Be nice to me then" I crossed my arms.
"Ok, your so beautiful babe, you must get it from your mother!" I shook my head and laughed at him. "Yey! I'm off the hook!" He kissed my cheek and stole the rest of my toast.
"Oi! I'm eating for two!" I tried to grab it back off him, but he held it above my reach.
"I'm a growing boy" He stated.
I looked down and grinned. "It about time"
"Ouch" He gave me back my toast. "You've damaged my ego"
"Rule number 1 baby" Ted put his hand on my shoulder. "Never insulted the size of a man's penis"
"I've seen yours, you're tiny" I taunted.
"If you weren't pregnant, I'd slap you" Ted took a deep breath pretending he was resisting the temptation to punch me.
"No you wouldn't"
"Err yes I would"
"Err no, you wouldn't"
He then took another deep breath. "Never hit a pregnant woman, never hit a pregnant woman" He mumbled to himself with his eyes closed.
"So what are you all happy about?" I asked Randy, turning away from Ted.
"Well, today is your first scan" He replied, linking his arms around my waist. "And because…"
"Hey guys" Ted interrupted us; we turned our heads to him. "I just realised when women admit to being a lesbian it's called coming out of the kitchen" He then burst into laughter.
"Can you hit him? I know baby Orton would really appreciate it" I tempted; Randy raised his fist and walked over to Ted.
"NO! Not the face, not the face!" He then looked down. "Not the balls! Not the balls!" He then looked in the mirror. "NOT ANYTHING! I'M TOO BEAUTIFUL"
"Come mister" I chuckled grabbing Randy's wrist. "We have a baby scan to go to"
"Can I come?"
"No Ted, you've got to be here when Becky drops Cody off" I smiled at the idea of Cody getting out of the hospital, he still wasn't 100 percent, but he was good enough to come home.
"But I want to come" He whined.
"You just want to hit on another nurse" I put my hands on my hips.
Ted just starred at me and then looked at Randy. "It's creepy how much she knows me"
"So how many weeks do you think I am Theodore? Cody thinks I'm seven, Becky thinks I'm five" I asked him rubbing my stomach.
"Right" Ted said, putting on some reading glasses which I had no idea he had, he peered over my stomach and then took his glasses off. "14 weeks"
"14?" I choked. "Ted look at the size of me, there is no way I'm 14"
"Teddy has spoken" He crossed his arms. "What do you think Randy?"
"I'm thinking six" He shrugged. "I guess we will find out soon enough, come on" He grabbed my hand and we rushed out the door. It didn't take long to get there, but we were five minutes early so we were just sitting anxiously in the waiting room. "So has Vince told John yet?"
"Not yet, I want to be there though when he does" I grinned. "Couldn't have been a better time to get pregnant ay"
"You know what this means though, don't you?" Randy asked, his voice very stern and serious.
"Err no?" I replied back innocently.
"You've got to stop looking for trouble" I was about to interrupt, but he placed his fingers over my lips. "You're looking out for two now, not just you and also my parents want us to come for dinner"
I groaned to myself, I had gotten away with not going, but I'm going to have to meet them sooner or later. "How did your mom take the news?"
"She was thrilled, she honestly can't wait to meet you, and you have nothing to worry about babe" He smiled putting his arm around me.
"Mr & Mrs Orton?" The nurse poked her head around the door.
I was about to correct her, but Randy stood up. "Come on" He put his hand out to me, it made me smiling knowing that he didn't want to correct her, I picked up bag and walked in front of him. "Mrs Orton" He whispered into my ear, I let out a little giggle.
I so started to believe that something was wrong, I thought maybe the tests were wrong or I had lost the baby, but when she showed us on the screen our baby, it finally felt real. "How many copies do you want?" The nurse asked smiling.
"Ten" Randy replied for me, I was still choked up, just starring at the monitor. She left the room to make the prints.
"I can't believe that's our baby"
"That's our baby" Randy smiled, I looked up at him returning his smile. He put his hand under the back of my head and moved me up to kiss him. "I love you"
"I love you too" I rested my head on his chest. "We need to ask her how many weeks"
"Well you can ask her now because here she is" Randy stood up to collect the copies from her; a huge smiling once again covered his face.
"Let me see!" I put my hands out; he gave me one of them. "Baby Orton James"
"How many weeks?" Randy asked the nurse.
"14" She smiled.
"Excuse me?" I choked, widening my eyes look at Randy. "14? Has a guy named Ted been in here at all and offered you some kind of exchange service?"
"I'm sorry?" She chuckled shaking her head. "It's definitely 14"
"But I'm not even that big!"
"Baby bumps are different for everyone" She shrugged, getting the gel off my stomach.
"So there's nothing wrong? Not even the tiniest of things?"
"Nothing, your baby seems to be perfectly healthy" I sighed in relief as she said that. She left the room again and Randy sat down on the baby next to me.
I got out my phone and rang Cody. "Hey" His voice answered after the third ring, "How is the scan?"
"All is good, listen Ted hasn't left your sight has he?"
"Err, no why?"
"Doesn't matter, we will see you when we get back, bye" I hung up before he had the chance to reply. "14 weeks" I repeated. "Bloody hell" I sunk back onto my pillow. "How the hell did I not know sooner?"
"Some go all the way up to 9 months before they realised" Randy reassured me.
"I'm so tired" I sighed closing my eyes.
"Let's get you home" Randy helped to lift me. "You're going to have a nap when we get back?"
"Probably, but I think we should tell who's god parents first" I smiled, I was excited for their reactions.
We arrived back at the hotel, just as Becky was leaving. "Hey" I caught her wrist. "Where you off to?"
"I'm off to meet a friend, how was the scan?" She asked.
"I'll meet you in there" Randy kissed my cheek and walked in the room.
"It was good, 14 weeks" I told her, rubbing my stomach once again, it's like I couldn't stop, it was my natural reaction.
"I'm sorry; did you just say you were 14?"
"Yep" I grinned. "Ted guessed it dot on; I'm kind of creped out, before you go, there is something I just wanted to say"
"Go on"
"I just wanted to thank you, for being there, I hadn't really had a best girl friend since Melina and it was nice having you around" I pulled her into a hug. "You're not just my future sister in law you know"
We then heard the door to our hotel shut. "What was that?" She asked me. I just shrugged and waved her off. I walked in to see Ted looking slightly saddened, Randy got up and joined me.
"Welcome home Codykins" I said to him smiling, he was lying on the couch, he returned my smile.
"Now we have thought a lot about the whole god parent situation" Randy stated, he turned to Cody. "Will you be our baby's god father?" Cody looked taken back, but a smile spread on his face.
"I would be honoured mate" They shook hands, but then Randy brought Cody into a hug.
"And I was wondering if you would be my best man?"
"Do you even have to ask?" Cody laughed nodding. I laughed at the two of them before turning to Ted. He just smiled weakly at me, but he looked even more upset then before.
"Listen guys, I have somewhere to be, I'll see you guys later" Ted said before heading out the door, Randy gestured for me to go after him.
"Theodore! Oh Theodore!" I sang as I ran to catch him, I grabbed onto his arm. "Where do you think your going?"
"I just have some stuff to do, I'll catch you…"
"But I wanted to ask you something and it can't wait" I told him, he sighed, but nodded. "Will you be my baby's god mother?"
"What?" He said his eyes widened.
"..baby'.mother?" I smiled. "Wait Ted, are you crying?"
Ted wipes his eye. "No, I just got some manly dirt in my eye" He sniffed.
"So is that a yes?" I asked.
"Of course it's a yes!" He laughed pulling me into a hug.
"I may be asking too much, but I was wondering if you wanted to be my maid of honour too?" Now he looked really shocked.
"Me? But I thought… I mean I heard you speaking to Becky about not having a best girl friend and I thought…."
"Yes, she may be my best girl mate, but Theodore, you're my best friend and there isn't anyone in the world I could think of to be my maid of honour other then you" I grinned. "I know they are suppose to be girls, but…"
"Screw the girls, which I will be doing by the way, but its Teddy's time to shine! I'll do it" We hugged again. "Let's go back inside and tell them the good news"
"I thought you had some stuff to do?" I asked suspiciously.
"What stuff? Oh! That stuff! Err…I can do it later"
"Mhmm"
He just grinned and put his arm around me, leading me back into the room. Cody and Randy stood up when we walked in. "So…?"
"So your looking at your baby's god mother and your fiancé's maid of honour" Ted struck a pose. "Damn, I'm gonna be hot"
"So how was Halloween this year? I'm so gutted I missed it with you guys this year" Cody sighed, I sat down beside him.
"Well, Chloe's son Daniel came trick or treating on our door step, we had little boys dressed as a swat team knock at our door and hand us a warren to search our room for candy"
"Also, two brothers came up dressed in ninja costumes, Mickie told them ninja's should be sneakier than just walking up to a room, the older boy responded 'he's in training' she gave them extra candy" Randy told Cody, who by now was looking very jealous.
"Seriously? That is so cool!" Cody smiled widely. "Why did I miss that!" He moaned. "Did you dress up as anything?" He asked me.
"No, not thi-"
"Why are you lying?" Ted interrupted.
I looked at him oddly. "I didn't dress up…"
"Yes you did, you were dressed as a stripper on strike" Ted pointed out.
"Alright then Ted, alright" I shook my head. "Did you know what he did? Some children came to our door, when Ted answered his door, they yelled, "Trick or treat!" Ted said, "Oh, thanks, I'll take the treat," and grabbed some candies from the children and closed the door"
"What?" Ted asked, not realising what was wrong with what he did. "They gave me a choice…"
Cody just laughed at us. "I'm surprised you two didn't go trick or treating"
"Oh they did" Randy sat down too. "I told them that they were too old for it, so they did the typical sheet over the head ghost costumes"
"It was worth it, we saw the coolest thing, this guy ran passed us and he was dressed up as Indiana Jones, but right as he passed me and Ted, he stopped…backed up…and tipped his hat at me and then continued to run, oh I do love Halloween"
Cody rolled his eyes. "So how many weeks are you?"
"14" Randy answered him before giving Ted the eye.
"What? Teddy knows his baby inside and out" Ted winked.
"It's creepy how you guess that Ted, you're creepy, get away from me"
"Are you secretly asking for a hug Mickie?" I backed away from him. "Snuggle buddy!" I ran behind Cody.
"No! This brings back horrible memories from when I was kid" Cody tried to push me away from him.
"What happened?"
"There was a food fight at my school. The lunch lady used me as a shield"
"Oh guys" I laughed. "With Godparents like you, my baby is going to be luckiest baby alive"
"Group hug!" Ted cheered.

I just sat there next to him, it seemed like he turned his head towards me, and it was like he just rolled his eyes at me. He stood up and walked away from me. I starred after him. "What?" He snapped.
"Don't speak to me like that, I haven't done anything wrong" I told him sternly, getting up too.
"You just don't get it do you?" He looked at me coldly.
