How Taking Down Legacy Failed
Mickie's P.O.V
"I didn't know what to do, you had been gone so long" I told Randy as I held on tightly to him. I knew I was dreaming, but I still didn't want to let go. This was the same dream that had haunted me since the accident, it was the reason I liked to sleep, because it was where my Randy was. "I should have gone with you"
"It was going to be a surprise, you know that" He replied, holding onto me tightly. "You know it wouldn't have changed anything" He kissed my head. "I should of just stayed with you and Hayden, I should never of left, I'm sorry I'm putting you through this"
"It's my fault" I cried. "I should have told you I didn't want you to go; I should have made you stay with me"
"Shh" He soothed me.
"Why didn't I do that? Maybe if I had, you wouldn't be like this right now"
"I'm always going to look after you, I still am" He told me, pulling me into him. "Nothing can stop me from doing that"
"Why didn't I make you stay? I wanted you to stay with me and Hayden, I didn't want to going anywhere, I should of just told you"
"We can't have any regrets babe"
"But I do Randy, I have so many" I kissed his chest. "I'll never forgive myself if you never remember"
"I will remember Mickie, I will come back to you and Hayden" He turned me to face him. "None of this is your fault, none of it"
"How can you say that?" I squeezed my lips together as I felt the tears build up in my eyes.
"I don't think you realise Mickie James, even when you were pregnant, just being with you, made me unbelievably happy" My eyes squeezed closed and my lips began to tremble as I felt the pain through my chest, this agonising feeling as if someone was pushing my heart between their hands, just waiting for it to explode. "I love you so much Mickie" It was everything I wanted him to tell me, everything I wanted him to remember.
"I love you too, more then you will ever know"
And that's how it always ended, my eyes opened slowly, I sat up and looked over at Randy who was still sleeping. Every night since Randy had left I woke up crying. I pulled the covers out and slipped out of the bed. I walked into the living room and had my small cry in there. "Mickie?" I jumped at the sound of my voice. Ted was standing there.
"Ted, I was just-"
"Couldn't sleep?" He offered me a small smile, I nodded.
"What are you doing up?"
"After Megan's threat, I'd thought I'd take precautions" Ted replied, I nodded. "Mickie, talk to me"
"We are talking"
"Mickie your-"
"I'm fine" I told him sternly.
"Who are you trying to fool baby? This is me" Ted put his hands on either side of my shoulders. "I hear you every night out here" I just nodded as I let the tears come out. "Come here" He pulled me into his eyes. "We'll get him back Mickie, we will"
The next day
"What else are you going to try?" Cody asked me, with Hayden on his lap as I cleared up Hayden's toys. I was sick of everyone asking me that. It was like they were all waiting for me to give up. It had been a whole two weeks now and there hasn't been any change, but the doctor never said that this could be permanent. I just wish I could tell Randy all that's been going on, there have been so many times when I've been tempted to.
"I'm not sure, I'll think of something" I told him, trying to shrug off the question.
"Mickie…" His voice had the same doubt in it that Ted had yesterday. I didn't want to hear the doubt, I needed someone there to support me, to encourage me to keep going, the only bit that is encouraging me is when Randy does something that my Randy would do and I know he is there just waiting to come out.
I sat down at the breakfast table and buried my face in my hands, rubbing circles into my forehead. "I honestly don't know what to do Cody, I can't give up, there has to be something"
"It could be worse, this Randy could have no interest in you at all" Finally a brighter side coming out of someone's mouth.
"Maybe, but I don't want to….you know… with this Randy because it's not Randy, it's getting harder and harder to push him away" I sighed running my fingers through my hair.
"I can see your point" Cody nodded at me, he didn't say anything else, I suppose he didn't know what else he could say. He didn't want to give me false hope and I could understand that.
"Hello Dibiase Posse" Ted greeted, smiling as he entered the room. "Your god has arrived"
"Our God?" Cody questioned.
"Yes, god, problem?"
Cody looked over at me, but I shook my head. "No, no problem"
"Morning Ted" I greeted him.
"Morning baby!" He greeted back.
I walked over to Hayden and just rubbed the top of his head. "My snoogie" I cooed. He looked up at me, I couldn't wait to hear his first word, his first smile, laugh, his first steps, but I wanted Randy to be here to share the moment with me.
"Are you talking to me or the baby?" Ted asked, Cody gave him the weirdest look. "What? I could be called snoogie, god."
"Ok Theodore… what are your plans for tonight?" I went back to my seat at the table.
"I'm meeting up with this chick that looks exactly like Megan Fox" Ted put his hand on his chest and blew out, exaggerating her hotness. "Teddy's going to get laid"
"What celebrity do I look like?" I asked him.
He placed his hand on his chin and thought long and hard, then said "Sarah Jessica Parker"
I gasped. "I don't see the attraction in her, I find her extremely hideous"
He replied "So do I"
"Stupid" I threw a table mat that was on the table at him.
"Oi!" He yelled out as it hit him in the head. "You asked!"
"She doesn't look anything like Sarah Jessica Parker" Cody said to him, shaking his head.
"You've just completely ruined my insult, thank you very much Cody!" Ted started clapping his hands tauntingly.
"I'll get my girlfriend on you" Cody warned him.
Ted scoffed in return. "Like I'm scared of your girlfriend"
"What was that Ted?" Becky stepped into the room.
"I was just telling Cody how beautiful you were, but he disagreed" Ted smirked.
Cody looked at Becky. "He said you looked like Sarah Jessica Parker"
"But she's hideous!"
"That's what Ted thinks" Cody smirked back at Ted.
"Why I ought to…." Ted, before she even finished the sentence, got up and ran from the room, Becky sighed.
"Why do they always run?" Then took off after him.
Randy's P.O.V
I walked into the lounge, Mickie was at the table and Cody was playing with her son on the couch. I starred at the back of Mickie, I didn't know what came over me, but I suddenly felt the need to make discomfort more intense. I moved down next to her, she sent a small smile and leaned back in her chair. I moved closer in my seat, until I was touching her arm. I snaked my hand under the table and placed it on her thigh. She let out a small unexpected gasp and snapped her head sharply to meet my glare. I just grinned maliciously at her, keeping her stare even as I moved my hand slightly closer between her legs. Despite the fact I knew she wanted to wait, I knew she couldn't resist it when I touched her like this. She bit her lip and quickly looked over to Cody to make sure he wasn't seeing anything.
"Do you know where Becky and Ted gone?" Cody asked her.
"Erm" She hesitated, she was resisting a moan. "I'm not too sure" I wanted to torture her even more, I rubbed small circles with my finger, I saw her squirm in her seat. She was still biting back a groaned when my circles gradually became closer to the v of her legs. I was torturing her and I loved it. She clenched her teeth as I got even closer. I was almost there when she stood up and my hand dropped. "I have to…go and do something" She ran to the bathroom and I leaned back in my seat satisfied, that is until her son, upon seeing her leaving, belted out crying.
"Oh Hayden, it's ok, mommy has just gone to the bathroom, don't cry" Cody tried to calm Hayden, but he kept screaming, he frantically looked around the room until he spotted me. He got up with Hayden in his arms and pushed him into my arms.
"What are you..?" It was then I noticed, being put in my arms made the kid stop crying. I cocked a brow at Cody.
Mickie walked back in the room and saw that Hayden had stopped. She smiled, I looked at her in confusion. "That reminds me, do you think you could look after Hayden for a few hours?" She asked me.
"Me?" I looked at her in surprise. "I don't know the first thing about looking after a baby"
"It's just Hayden seems to like you" She said. "Please? I'll tell you all you need to know"
"Why can't Cody?"
"Because I have someplace to be" He told me.
"Ted? Becky?"
"Both busy" She replied. "Please?" She did that sad face, the one she looked incredibly cute doing so. It was now her who had me under control.
"Erm, fine"
"Thank you, you're a life saver" She put her arms around me and kissed me cheek and then kissed Hayden's.
As you was about to pull away, I put my free arm around her waist and leaned in to whisper "You know, I don't like to start and not finish"
"I don't like to be taken advantage of" She whispered back, leaning back down, but her hands still rested on my chest. "Bottles are in the fridge, he likes a cuddle before bed and his diaper should only be changed twice"
I leaned in and stole a kiss. "Don't be long"
"I won't" She told me. "Thank you" I nodded at her. "C'mon Cody. She grabbed his wrist and they left the room, leaving me alone with the baby.
I looked at him and he blinked back at me. I had no experience with kids, apart from dealing with the fans, but this was a two week old baby. "Err….hi?"
Mickie's P.O.V
"It's been two hours, you want to head back and see how Randy is getting on?" Cody asked me, I looked at my watch and tapped nervously with my feet.
"Let's give them another five minutes" I replied, biting me lip. "Maybe his own son can bring some sense back into him"
"You really believe that?" Cody asked me softly.
I shook my head, trying to keep the tears in. "No" I breathed. "But I want Hayden to spend time with his father, I want them to bond"
"C'mon" Cody stood up and reached for my hand. I took and let him pull me up. I was getting that nervous sickly feeling in my stomach, what if it was a disaster? Me and Cody didn't speak on the way up, I think how heads were both full of thoughts that we needed silence for. Five minutes had past and we were now outside our room, I let Cody unlock the room, he gave me a reassuring smile before he opened the door. I stepped in and Randy came out of the bedroom with a sleepy Hayden on his shoulder.
"Hey" He said noticing that we were back.
"How were things?" I asked him as he passed Hayden to me.
"Better now that you're here" Randy leaned over and kissed me, slow and soft.
I pulled back and smiled. "Wow, I can't believe Randy Orton just used that cheesy line on me?"
"I got a kiss didn't I?" Randy smirked, and stroked Hayden's cheek. "Things were good, better then I thought, cute kid" I looked over at Cody and he put a thumbs up at me and walked out the room to leave me and Randy alone. "So how was thing you had to do?"
"Yeah, I um, got it done"
"What was I-"
"Do you want something to eat? I'm starving" I cut him off walking over to the kitchen. He starred at me suspiciously. "Anything?"
Randy's P.O.V
Spending time with the kid, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. At first, I had no clue what I was doing, but then I suddenly knew, it felt like I had done it before. I suppose I surprised myself, I had been doing that a lot lately. I keep having this dream where I'm proposing to Mickie, it's so weird, I'm using a pokemon ball to do it as well. It freaks me out to think that I am having dreams of my future with Mickie. I've never done that with any girl because normally our future is me kicking her out the door after sleeping with her. I watched Mickie scatter around in the kitchen, I walked slowly and stood beside her, leaning against the counter. We were alone in the room, I wanted nothing more then to have my wicked way with her, but she had been pushing me away when it comes to that. I don't understand why I am being so patient with her, I've never been like that, if they don't want to sleep with me the first night, I give up and go look for the next prey. Although, no girl has ever turned me down for sex the first night.
I placed my hand on Mickie's hip and stroked my finger over it. She stopped what she was doing and I turned her to face me, she stood in between my legs. We just entwined our fingers, occasionally making eye contact. "He looks tired" I snapped her out of her trance, she looked at Hayden and nodded.
"He gets tired a lot" She replied back stupidly, I saw she instantly regretted saying, it was cute. Did Randy Orton just say cute? What the fuck is this girl doing to me? I sighed deeply and let her go out of my grasp to put Hayden down. I missed her a lot today when she was gone, I hated it. It still felt that she was at arms reach and there is nothing that I've ever wanted that I couldn't have. Even though I have her, it still feels like she is untouchable. I didn't know where this thoughts or feelings came from, I just woke up and they were there and I couldn't turn them off despite how hard I tried.
