How Taking Down Legacy Failed

Mickie's P.O.V

"Are you sure you want to come?" Melina asked me as we were driving to the arena. We were an hours late as I couldn't decide whether or not I actually wanted to come. I couldn't believe what Randy had done, my hand felt naked without his ring. I spent most of the night up crying, I so badly wanted to go down to the bar and drink, but I knew I couldn't, for obvious reasons. I still wanted to come Raw, god knows why, I just did. At the same time of hoping not to see Randy, I also just wanted to see a glimpse of him. It didn't feel final; I couldn't loose him, not over something this stupid.

I couldn't stand this, not talking to him, I wanted so badly to go and see him, but I couldn't, I was terrified that he would reject me, he doesn't want to see me, he has made that very clear. It's been two days since he took the ring off my finger, I had already seen him this morning when I was out to get my normal coffee, he saw me too and we made eye contact, but it was only for a split second because he turned his head away, he was avoiding my contact.

"Someone's late" Ted said tapping his watch as me and Melina approached her locker room. Ted and Melina awkwardly smiled at each other.

"You were waiting for me?"

"Yeah, it was the most icy atmosphere back there" Ted said following in behind me and Melina.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"Randy has been really pissy all night and all day, Becky has been too, Cody is trying to be the peace maker and Mandy doesn't say much" Ted shrugged. "You need to talk to him.

"Well I don't think he wants to talk to me" I shrugged back.

"Then why was he waiting outside Justin Gabriel's locker room for about an hour" Ted smirked, I turned to face him.

"What?"

"Basically, Randy walked out so Becky asked me to look for him in case he does anything stupid, I found him round the corner from Justin's locker room, mumbling to himself 'Where is she?'"

"You mean me?"

"Yeah, who else?"

"Why would he wait there?"

"Well you know, you like to go bother Justin so I think he thought he might see a bit of you" Ted told me.

I scoffed. "I don't bother him!"

Now it was Ted who scoffed. "He's been going crazy Mick, he keeps starring at your ring and he smelled your pillow which was a little creepy, but in a weird way cute, he misses you Mick, he was desperate to see you outside Gabriel's"

"How long was he there for?" I asked Ted, it made me miss Randy a hell of a lot more.

"About an hour and when he finally returned, he smashed Cody's mirror, messed up the locker room and kept mumbling to himself 'She should be here' It's tearing him apart baby"

"Why doesn't he just come and talk to me?"

"I don't think he wants to, he just wants to see you"

"Argg" I groaned sinking back onto the couch. "I am not making a good home for this baby, I'm surprised the stress hasn't…"

"Don't talk that way baby, things are going to get better"

"I hope so Ted, I really hope so" I tried to smile, but failed miserably.

"I know what will cheer you up!" Ted grabbed the remote for the TV. "Look Sheamus!"

He was in the ring. It was announced that tonight there will be a series of matches and Sheamus will be able to watch on and see who impresses him and then at the end he will get to pick his opponent for Night of Champions. "This is my chance to impress him!" I gasped.

"You're pregnant…" Ted pointed out.

"What are you trying to say?"

"Nothing baby, your champion material…champion of the KITCHEN!"

"Enough with the sexist jokes" I flicked him. "Have you notice I never cook? Randy or Cody does the cooking!"

"I don't have time for this baby, I have a match"

"Yeah walk away!" I yelled after him. Melina came out of the bathroom laughing. "What?" I asked her.

"I don't know, I guess I forgot how funny Ted could be" That made me smile, he would love to hear that. "Anyway, I need to see if I have a match tonight, see you later" I waved her off, now I was bored…I'm going to go see Sheamus! I walked backstage to find him by the curtain waiting for his thrown.

"Hey! Hey Shames!" I yelled out, he rolled his eyes when he saw me. "Hey! How you doing?" I asked, he ignored me. "Hey Shames, say I impressed you and this baby will be named after you, what do you say?"

"It's just been announced that the ban to prevent Nexus from competing from champion matches has been lifted" Josh Matthew said walking past us.

Sheamus looked worried. "Don't worry Shames, you're a true champion, you can kick anyone's ass"

"I know fella, don't you think I don't know that?"

"Don't be like that Shames, after all we've been through….say are you still with Chloe? Because if not, you know…me and Ted are available"

"I'm still with her fella"

"Oh…well me and Ted are still available, just putting that out there, you need us, we are one phone call away. Do you have a pen? Maybe I could just scribble my number down for you….you know…just in case?"

"I don't think so fella"

"Oh….ok then…maybe another time…maybe over dinner or something?"

"What?"

"What?" I acted oblivious. "Just two fellas hanging out" I fist bumped his shoulder. "Yeah…."

"Consider our truce…." We turned around to see all the Nexus members standing behind Wade Barrett who had the biggest smirk on his face. "Over"

"Our truce is still on right?" I asked him.

"We never had a truce" Justin stepped forwards and snarled at me.

"I'm sorry, was I talking to you?" I asked him, he growled. "I didn't think so"

"I really don't like you"

"What? But….last night…I thought….you…said….oh my….why the hell didn't you tell me then you…you….you took my virginity you bastard!" All men exchanged looks and looked down at my baby bump. "What?" I asked innocently.

"My standards aren't that low" Justin rolled his eyes.

"You've just broken my heart Justin! But now….I'm going to break you" I tried to put on Randy's viper face….it worked until it hit me who's face I was putting it on and that moment where everything felt normal….annoying Justin…I remembered.

"Why don't you give us a call, when you've lost the bump" Wade sent me a sick smirk before walking out towards the curtains, the rest of Nexus glared and followed.

"Did he just come onto me?" I turned around to ask Sheamus, but he was yelling at some guy about how he was carrying his throne. Well, that's my amusement gone, but oh no… it wasn't, there smirking at me was John.

"Ew" I said to him in disgust and then went to turn away, John snickered, amused by my viciousness and he twisted me around gently for her to face him.

"I heard about you and Orton" I sighed heavily, looking away, hearing it like that made it sound so final. "I could claim you right now"

"I'm not some object you can just claim" I hissed at him. "What do you want with some pregnant woman anyway?"

"You could belong to-"

"Well I don't want you" I told him stubbornly. "I'm not interested"

John just chuckled, stepping closer to me. "Why do you fight it?"

"I wouldn't if it was anybody but you" I placed my hands on my hips and smirked.

"Ouch. Now Mrs. Future Former Orton, nice play," John laughed. John crossed his arms over his chest as he stood there arrogantly.

"I don't think you get it John, I hate you."

"Keep telling yourself that, in about a week's time you'll be saying the opposite."

"John, how many times have you said this? I think it's a little over a year now we broke up and guess what? I'm not coming back, I doubt I would ever be capable of loving you, I don't know how you still believe that I give a damn about you"

"Really now?" He quickly wrapped his arm around me and pulled me into him.

"Careful!" I yelled trying to shove him away. It was like he was about to kiss me, but he suddenly stopped, his gaze darkened as looked over my shoulder. "Get off me" He did. "Yeah bitch" I stumbled back, only to be caught in someone's arms. I squeezed my eyes shut, knowing who it was by the touch. I slowly looked up to see Randy, still holding me, starring dangerously at John.

"Leave." He snapped at John, his face in full viper mode, it was like he said it in a way he was giving him a chance, before things got messy. John's gaze went to me, which caused Randy's grip to tighten.

"Baby" A girl skipped up behind John. "What's going on?" She asked noticing the tension.

I gave John a warning look. "Nothing Liz babe, let's go" He grabbed her hand, gave a final glare at me and Randy and walked away. I didn't know what to do from there, I was still in Randy's arms, it was really awkward, but he wasn't letting go, he just had his eyes clothes and just held me.

"You should go find Ted" He murmured, he let me go slowly and didn't even look at me as he walked away. I couldn't even bring myself to stop him.

Randy's P.O.V

I sat there grinding my teeth and fondling with my fingers, every second it felt as if I were glancing at the clock and it hadn't moved, this is what Mickie not being here does to me, I couldn't stand it. I even went so low to spending an hour outside Gabriel's just to see if she'd turn up, my heart sank when she didn't. I just wanted to see her, even if were only for a second. I didn't think she was around until when I went to get some air, I saw her and Cena had his slimy hands all over her. Despite my best efforts to stay away from her, I couldn't stand it, him touching her made physically sick and I knew I had to do something, so I did, I held her away from him, so he couldn't get to her and once he was away, I realised then how good it was to hold her in my arms again, to smell her scent, to be close to her.

It had been three hours since that happened and it had been the longest three hours of my life. I couldn't stand being away from her and I couldn't stop worrying what trouble she's getting herself into. "You should go and talk to her"

"I can't Rebecca" I sighed. "I'm still pissed as hell"

"Yeah, but your more upset then pissed" I shook my head and refused to look at her. "Randy, last night is the first time in ages that I've seen you nearly cry"

"I didn't cry" I told her sternly.

"Go find her Randy"

Mickie's P.O.V

"Hey, where are you going?" Melina asked me, as I put my coat on.

"Just for a walk"

"At 3am?"

"Can't sleep" I shrugged and smiled.

"Want me to come with you?" She offered, I shook my head, I needed to be alone.

"Nah, it's ok, you go back to sleep"

"You sure?"

"Yes" She smiled and retreated back to the bedroom. I walked for awhile, before I settled down in the hotel's garden. I sat down on one of the benches and starred out into the night. I just wished I could go back to a few weeks ago, when everything was fine…perfect. I miss him, so much, if this is it, I don't know how I'm going to spend the rest of my life, I just feel so empty without him, so different. I could even smell his old habit of smoking, wait, I really could smell smoke, I got up and turned around. I guess we were more alike then we thought, there with a cigarette in his hand, facing away from me was Randy, I don't know if he knew I was there. I didn't know whether to walk off or to let him know that I was there, but my body actually couldn't move, I was frozen to the ground just starring at him. He sighed as he finished his cigarette, it threw it onto the ground and snubbed it before reaching into his pocket and pulling out another one, he dropped his packet and turned to pick it up, that's when he saw me. He forgot all about his packet and stood up fully slowly. In his eyes I saw as much hurt as I felt, it looked like him himself had been crying. I shivered at his stare, there was no longer anger, he wasn't looking at me coldly, he was just starring at me how he used to. He then broke our stare, going to the ground and picking up his packet, he then turned to walk away. This was my chance and I knew it, move feet move!

"Randy" I yelled out, he turned around, but I felt frozen again so I just stood there. "I'm sorry" I uttered out, my voice was breaking and I knew I was about to start crying so I turned away, covering my mouth so I wouldn't make a noise.

"Mickie" His voice was much closer, I felt him touch my hand. "Babe" He walked round so he was standing in front of me, seeing the tears he grabbed onto my chin and forced me into a kiss, he then backed out.

"Don't leave me Randy" I cried desperately holding onto him.

"I can never leave you" He told me, holding onto my tightly too. "You drive me crazy sometimes, but I love you Mickie and I'm sorry for comparing you to Sam, your nothing like her"

"Yes I am, I shouldn't of-"

"Shh, it doesn't matter now" He rested his chin on my head. "I just wanted to see you so badly, I miss you, I miss talking to you"

"It just hurts so much being away from you, I just, I-"

"Shh Mickie, I know, I know, I feel it too" He stroked my head, he leaned my chin up gently and wiped my tears with the back of his hand.

"You're my best friend and you make me feel really safe" My bottom lip trembled, I fell into his arms, he sat me down on the bench I was on previously.

"I'm not leaving you anymore Mickie, I can't, I won't, I don't care what you did, I just want to be with you" He reached into his pocket and slipped the ring back on my feeling. "Taking that ring away was the most stupidest thing I've ever done and I've got an idea"

"What?" I sniffed.

"Let's get a room of our own, away from them all, just you, me and the baby. I mean we can still see them, but just you and-"

"I think it's a great idea"

"Come here" Randy said capturing my lips with his. I wrapped my arm around his neck and just sunk into him, feeling safe again. "I guess your stuck with me"

"Oh darn….wait a minute, you were smoking"

"Give me a break, I was stressed"

I held my hands up in defence. "It's your lungs bitch"

The corners of his mouth twitched up into a smile "I've missed you"
