How Taking Down Legacy Failed
"Randy, made we should re-arrange today, I'm not feeling too well and I wouldn't want your parents to catch anything" I said to him, before letting out a fake cough. Today we were suppose to go see Randy's parents and I was terrified, I had put it off for this long, but it was time to face it all. I hate meeting parents, I'm no good! I never know what to say, to do or anything. Randy looked at me doubtfully.
"That cough isn't the only thing she's been faking Randy" Ted sniggered, Randy turned to him and threw a cushion at him. "Owned" Ted grinned,
"Babe c'mon" Randy said rubbing his hands up and down my arm. "It will be fine, they will love you"
"What if they don't? What if they preferred Sam?"
"Yeah, they are really going to prefer a woman who cheated on me and gave them false hope of them having a grand child" Randy rolled his eyes. "Relax ok, Cody will be meeting the parents too" I pretended to cry into Randy's shoulder, maybe I was over reacting! But I was just so bloody nervous!
"See, I never have this problem, moms adore me" Ted told us.
"Yeah, but dad's don't" I shot back; he nodded his head in agreement.
"It's because I'm such a charmer and so devilishly handsome that they are afraid I will steal their wife away" He shrugged. "I can't help being so damn attractive"
"I'm scared" I started whining again. "You would be in my position!"
"Me? I'm not afraid of anything" Randy scoffed. "Oh my god, there's a spider" He grabbed me and stood behind me. Me and Ted exchanged looks. "I mean…I'm not afraid of no spider" He stepped forward, the spider wiggled a little. "Ok yeah, I am! Yeah I am!"
"Do you know what I'm afraid of?" Ted asked, I gestured for him to go on. "Becoming ugly" I choked out a laugh, but the expression on Ted's face was dead serious. "Laugh all you want baby, but it's a serious phobia!"
"Do I have to go?" A whine entered the room and for once it wasn't mine.
"Yes! Stop being such a baby, you don't see Mickie whining about it" Becky entered behind Cody; Randy scoffed at what she said.
"Yeah Cody, god!" I scoffed too.
Cody then put his middle finger up at me. "No one will believe you" He whispered.
"Randy!" I yelled out, he turned to me. "Cody swore at me" Randy raised his fist threateningly. "You were saying Codykins?"
"You may have Randy, but I have something even more impressive!" Cody grabbed Becky and hid behind her.
"I'll admit that is pretty impressive" I replied stroking my chin.
"I don't mean to interrupt" Ted stood in the middle. "But I just thought of a joke, what do you do when your wife asks you to fix her watch?" I sighed and crossed my arms. "You don't, there's a clock on the stove!" He started laughing, but then he looked around. "What the? Where is my drink? I had a big one, I had a big one" Ted said looking around, we all chuckled on how wrong that sounded. "Oh, oh, very funny, yeah yeah, I have a big penis, get over it"
"This is random, but I remember when Cody told me that you were scared you were starting to look like Justin Beiber" I said in flash back mode. "Why the hell did you think you were starting to look like him?"
"Basically, I was walking to the hospital and these two really hot girls passed me, I mean they were really hot, fuckerable hot, I would bang them…"
"Ted" I said sharply. "Get to the point"
"Oh right, so they were checking me out so I tried to be as macho as possible, as soon as they passed, I heard one of them say 'Oh my god! He looks just like Justin Beiber, apparently I'm not very macho" Ted pouted. "It really hurt my feelings"
"Congratulations, you attract twelve year old girls!" Cody joked.
"Shut it, bitch" Ted yelled at him, before turning to me. "My heart, it breaks, I have feelings baby, I mean my self esteem was already low and….my god your boobs have gotten bigger" His eyes widened.
"Ted" Randy said warningly.
"Ted!" I shrieked shockingly.
"I'm sorry, but being pregnant has made your boobs even bigger! I'm a guy baby; you can't expect me not to look"
"You can when her boyfriend is in the room" Randy pulled me into him.
"Randy, Randy, Randall" Ted tutted chuckling patronisingly. "You should take it as a compliment"
"Well your boobs are nice too Ted" I grinned, Ted's laughter stop abruptly.
"They're not boobs" He told me sternly. "They're not! Cody, tell her!"
"Hey, I'm not here to judge" Cody held his hands up. "What bra size are you again?" He smirked.
"Yeah, yeah, pick on the hot guy! Story of my life" Ted moaned burying his head into a pillow. "Go on! Go meet each others parents! See if I care! None of you have met mine" He then lifted his head out of the pillow and had a cheery look on her face. "Mom sent me a message over twitter saying 'Why are you swearing on the internet? You're grounded".
I looked up at Randy. "We should go meet Ted's mom instead!
"C'mon" Randy picked up my bag and went out the room.
"Let's make a plan to stick together" Cody held out his pinkie which I linked. We turned around to say goodbye to Ted, but he was not paying attention to us, more on trying to get his zipper undone.
"Damn thing" He muttered as it was stuck.
"Ted, what are you doing?" I asked confused, Ted jumped at the sound of my voice.
"You're not gone yet?"
"No, of course not, we're just about t…eww Ted" I threw him a disgusted look and walked out the room.
"But you're not a boy! You don't understand!" Ted sang after me.
"How it feels to love a girl, I swear I'd be a better man" I sang back.
"You don't liste…"
"Babe" Randy voice snapped. "Come on!" He grabbed my hand; I grabbed onto Cody's pinkie and dragged him along too.
"Alone at last" I heard Ted say to himself.
The car ride was horrible, I had this sickly feeling in my stomach, I was flipping out when Randy stopped the car, he turned to me smiling. "We're here" He admired the house for a moment, before getting out and coming over to my side to open the door for me. He reached out his hand to me and helped me out. "Don't be nervous" He whispered into my ear, me and Cody nodded at each other before making our way up the path. I took a deep breath as the door to their house opened up, I didn't even have time to study Randy's mom because as soon as she saw me she pulled me into a hug.
"It's nice to finally meet you!" She cheered. "I've heard so much about you from Randy and I'm glad to say I'm finally having a grandchild" I just smiled back, not having anything to say. "I see Randy wasn't exaggerating with how beautiful you are, look at you your glowing" I turned my head to see their dad greeting Cody. "Come in, come in" She beckoned.
Randy put his hand on my lower back and leaned down to my ear. "Relax" He whispered. "She loves you already"
"I have a surprise for you Randall and Rebecca" Both the Orton groaned when their names were used, but their frowns turned to a look of surprise, I followed their gaze to a girl standing in their hallway.
"What? Don't I get a hug?" The girl said, both Becky and Randy rushed over to her, I sent a look of confusion over to Cody who returned it.
"I can't believe you're here" Becky gushed to her.
"Well believe" She chuckled. "I have some news to tell you all later"
"Mickie" Randy said, gesturing for me to come over. "This is my beautiful fiancé Mickie, also the woman carrying my baby"
"I've heard so much about you" The girl smiled, shaking my hand, I wish I could say the same!
"Mickie, this is Mandy, childhood best friend"
"It's nice to meet you" I said to her.
"Hi, I'm Cody Runnels" Cody stuck out his hand to her.
"Mandy" She said back, shaking his hand. "Becky's boyfriend?"
"Becky's dashing boyfriend yes" He replied, Becky rolled her eyes.
"We have a lot of catching up to do" She said to Mandy who nodded in agreement.
Becky's P.O.V
"I can't believe you're here! I haven't seen you since…"
"Since you graduated from college." Mandy finished, grinning at me. I was stunned to see her again. When I was growing up, Mandy was my big sister; the only thing that stopped her was our blood and genes! She had been my role model, my confident, my best friend.
"How've you been?"
"Great! Really great!" She beamed. Randy was grinning at her, looking taken-aback but chuffed all the same. Mandy's eyes fell on Cody, "Seems you have been too."
"What can I say?" Cody said, holding his arms out.
"Dashing." Mandy teased, "I can definitely see it." If anything would get Cody to like hear, it was that.
"Hey peeps, what's crackalackin'?"
I looked up in surprise to see my one-year-older brother, Nathan, standing there, a goofy smile on his face. "Nathan! What are you doing here?" Randy said in surprise.
He looked insulted, "Mom said that you were coming to visit, so I wanted to come and see you! Jeez." He then winked at Mandy, "Hello Amanda." I suddenly realized that Nathan had similar tendencies to Ted. Oh dear God.
"Dude." Randy rolled his eyes.
Nathan just grinned cheekily before nodding at Cody, "Hey, I remember you! You were at Randy's wedding? Are you Ced or Tody?" I snorted with laughter.
Thankfully, Cody just grinned, "Cody."
Nathan snapped his fingers, "That's the one! So, you're my dear sister's boyfriend, eh? Well, don't worry. Randy's the threatening, crazy, overprotective brother but I'm the fun one."
"I second that." I muttered.
"Agreed." Mandy said at the same time. Randy both shot us disapproving looks. Mandy laughed, "Aw, Randy, don't start pouting at me!"
Nathan looked around eagerly, "So, where is Ms James? I've been dying to meet the lovely WWE Diva." He raised his eyebrows pointedly. Randy narrowed his eyes but Nathan just laughed, "Oh Randy, you're my big brother. You can't scare me because I'll just tell everyone how you wet the bed until you were thirteen… oops."
Cody's eyes lit wickedly and I sniggered. Mandy laughed gleefully, rubbed her hands together and gently put a hand on Randy's shoulder, "He's officially got you."
Nathan snapped his fingers again, "ZING!"
Cody put his ear at my mouth, "It's like being with Ted… we can never escape him!" I loved how he knew exactly what I was thinking. For the first time in ages, I was truly and really happy.
"Have you shown Mickie your babies yet?" Mandy asked, chewing on her thumbnail.
"No! I will though." Randy nodded. "She's talking to mom at the moment."
Nathan then winked at Mandy again, "So, Becky and Cody, Randy and Mickie… how about Nathan and Mandy?"
Mandy cackled, "Nate, sweetie, don't you remember that time when I was over here with Randy… you were about six… and you came into the room completely naked and showed me how you could pretend to be a girl…"
Nathan nodded, "Did that turn you on?"
Mickie's P.O.V
I sat down with Randy's mom, starring out into the garden where Becky, Randy, Cody and Mandy were all talking. "I've heard so much about you Mickie, Randy can't stop talking about you"
"Really?" I asked smiling.
"Really, every phone call he finds a way to bring you into the conversation, you have made quite the impression on my son, I've never seen him this committed, not even with Sam, it's kind of…refreshing, I was always worried about Randy and as my son was never the…committing type, but I can see the way he looks at you, I'm just so glad to see my son happy"
"He makes me happy too" I looked out to the garden, he really talks about me? He caught me looking and gestured for me to come over, his mom saw and laughed.
"You go join my son; I will call you when dinner's ready"
"Thanks Mrs Orton"
"Please, call me Elaine darling" She smiled, squeezing my hand.
We hugged before we parted, I walked over to the group, Randy put his arm around me and turned me to go into his garage. "And these are my babies" Randy said, rubbing the back of one of his motorbikes, there were about five of them in a row.
"No Randy, this is your baby" I told him rubbing my stomach.
"And you're my baby" He said kissing my forehead. "I told you today weren't going to be as bad as you thought"
"Ok, ok, you were right" I told him sighing, he grinned. "Don't get use to it though" I teased.
He chuckled, before starring at me, taking my face in his hands. "I love you" He ran his thumb over my jaw line and leaned down to kiss me softly.
"Randy! You have to…" I pulled away as Mandy burst through the door. "Oh I didn't mean to interrupt…I will just…"
"No, no it's fine" I smiled at her. "I need to go speak to the in laws anyway" I smiled at Randy now. "I'll give you two a moment" I brushed past her and left them to it.
No one's P.O.V
"She's pretty" Mandy told Randy smiling.
Randy looked past Mandy to where Mickie had disappeared to, a smile still lingering on his face. "She's beautiful"
"So I take it she doesn't know about a few weeks ago?" Randy's smile faded at this and he starred at Mandy.
"She knows that I kissed someone, but she isn't going to find out that someone is you" Randy told her firmly. "I don't know where my head was that night; I was messed up over, Cody being with Becky and me & Mickie having a fight, I just I wanted to be in a place where times were simpler"
"So just to be clear, you didn't mean anything you said to me that night?"
"Mandy…"
Mandy held her hands up. "No, no, I get it, I know the drill, it was a drunk kiss, it meant nothing" Her voice strained.
"Thanks Mands, I can't lose her you know, I just can't and I'm afraid if she knew it was you she might feel, I don't know, threatened?"
"Look at you all grown up and in love" She chuckled looking down. "I haven't seen you that way since…"
"You?" Randy interrupted her.
"Yeah" Mandy replied nodding. "We were something weren't we"
"Yeah" He looked down.
"Do you ever wonder what things would have been like if you would of never have joined the wwe? Do you think we would have still been together?" She asked him.
He ran his hand over his jaw. "Maybe, but then I wouldn't have met Mickie"
"Randy" Her voice said softly, he looked up at her. "I've been offered a job with the WWE"
"Wow, Mands, that's great!"
"Really? You think so?" She asked him, slightly shocked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I? I get to see my best friend more often!"
"I just thought with Mickie, you might think I would come between you two" Mandy bit her lip.
"Everything is in the past, your still my best friend, it's not like anything is going to happen anyway, right?" He laughed.
"Right" She said back. "We should go back inside, join everyone"
Preview of 146
"I rolled my eyes at you? So you've gone all pissy on me?" He laughed nastily to himself. "Grow up Mickie" He starred at me long and hard before walking into the locker room. I actually wanted to punch him. I waited a minute or two before I followed him in, I sat opposite him, next to Ted, crossing my arms, trying not to make eye contact with him.
