How Taking Down Legacy Failed

Mickie's P.O.V

I stayed quiet next to Randy. He hadn't said a word last night; he went out and came back early hours of the morning. I didn't know whether to speak or not, I didn't know what mood he was in. "Babe…" He spoke. I guess I was about to find out. "I know you're awake" He mumbled, rolling over to face me, his eyes barely open. It was too early for Randy. "I've calmed down from last night"

"Good" I chuckled nervously. "You are one scary asshole when you're angry"

"Yep" He stretched his arms out. "Wouldn't you be in my position? I was so close last night, then Miz" he spat his name. "Whatever, what did I expect?" I shrugged awkwardly, not knowing what to reply. "Sorry"

"It's ok" I sent him a small smile. "Where did you go last night?"

"Just down to the bar, I didn't want to take my anger out on you so I had to get away" He moved his fingers so they were entwined with mine. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah…" He looked at me doubtfully. "I spoke to Cody on the phone, Ted didn't come in until late last night and he hasn't spoken to any of them" I sighed and rested into the arm Randy just wrapped around me. "I can't think what can be wrong with him, he is rarely ever like this"

"Maybe him and Melina broke up" Randy suggested. I had already considered the possibility. The last time I had seen Ted the way he was, was because of a break up with Melina.

"No" I shook my head. "I spoke to her yesterday, they are fine, haven't even had a fight"

"That's strange."

"Mmm" I replied.

"Are you going to go see him later?"

"Yeah, I will" I followed Randy's lead as he moved me on top of him, his legs entwined with mine. I rested my hand lightly on his chest.

"I like your hair up" He commented, twisting his fingers through my pony tail. His tugged my pony tail so I looked up; he leaned down and kissed me. I moved my hand to his cheek so I could hold myself steady. I broke the kiss and returned to resting my head on his chest.

"I like your hair up too" I teased. Moving my hand over his short hair. HE playfully rolled his eyes. "Don't shave it off again, Mickie don't like"

"What do I get in return?" He moved his hands down to my waist to my…

"Whoa mister, that's inappropriate"

"That's really too bad, because they aren't moving"

"Move them or lose them, the choice is all yours"

"Don't make threats babe that you can't follow through with" He smirked, giving my ass a taunting squeeze. "You're my wife, therefore I get unlimited access" He moved his legs up so I was stuck in between his legs.

"I failed to find that in the contract"

"Oh it's there alright babe, you just need to look close enough" He did his cute little smile where the dimples showed, I trailed my fingers along them.

"So then I have unlimited rights to your championship belt" I retorted, I moved my fingers and started to crawl towards the end of the bed to grab the title, but Randy used his foot to push me back onto him. He moved his legs back up, trapping me onto him.

"Let's not get carried away" He teased, moving the few strands that fell onto my face out of the way.

"I know how this can work!" I said, he raised his brows. "At the next paper view, I will defend our championship! It's so perfect that nothing could possibly go wrong"

"Right, so your going to take on Wade Barrett are you?" Randy asked me.

"Yep, he won't know what hit him" I leaned up and kissed Randy gently. "Don't worry, when I become women's champion, I'll share it with you" I patted his chest.

"So your going to become women's champion, ay?"

"That's the plan" I told him.

"Well you'll always be my women's champion"

"Damn straight" I yawned, moving away from Randy. I moved over to Hayden cot and picked him up. He let out a loud coo as I moved him. Randy followed me into the kitchen where I got Hayden's bottle for him. "Woo woo woo, you know it"

"Err babe….what was that?"

"That Randall will be Hayden's first words…." He raised his brows. "How could you not know what that was! It's Zach Ryder's catch phrase! You know…THE Zach Ryder"

"Oh god" Randy moaned. "He isn't going to become the new Justin Gabriel is he?" I smiled at him innocently. "Seriously babe….really? Why him?

"Why not him? He is a very impressive individual!"

"Since when have you liked him?"

"Since forever!" Randy looked at me doubtfully. "Fine…since when he made a you tube account"

"I'm surprised that a restrain order hasn't been set on you yet babe, I really am" He moved over to me and took Hayden. "I wish they would, then you'd have to stay with me"

"Do I sense some jealous?" I teased, wrapping my arms around his neck and leaning into him. "Have I told you how much hotter you are then them?"

"No babe, you haven't, but feel free to boost my ego," He smirked, leaning down to kiss me. "You know, maybe we should go back to bed…"

"It's nearly the afternoon"

"So? I think it will be a day well spent"

"You staying half naked is a day well spent" I wrapped my arms around his waist. "I'm so nice to you, I'm SUCH a good wife"

"Yes you are" He smirked.

"I'm probably your favourite wife…"

"Yes, you very nearly are actually"

"Score!"

He let out a chuckle. "I like you"

"That's good because we're going to need to have a good relationship for when we make a fort" I grabbed his hand and went to lead him where the couch was, but he pulled me back. "Problem?"

"A fort? Babe, this is what you have Ted for"

"Well Ted isn't available right now, so as from now, you are taking on his duties until he returns, so after the fort making, we go and get our nails done, I have Justin booked in for five, erm…oh right yeah, then we have-"

"Not going to happen babe"

"But you just said you liked me!"

"Oh I do"

"Well then, why are we still standing here!" I tried to move him again but he stopped me. "Fine mister big shot, what do you want to do?"

"Well I don't know about you, but I'm going to get my tattoo done"

"Tattoo?"

"Remember, the one of yours and Hayden's name"

"You really don't have to do-"

"Babe, no motor cycles I swear" I bit my lip but nodded. "Do you want me to walk you down to Ted's & Cody's?" He asked me. I smiled and once again nodded. We went into our room and got changed.

"Am I taking Hayden or are you?" I asked him.

"I'll take him" Randy said, picking up his bag. "You just focus on getting Ted back to normal" He kissed my cheek and placed his arm around my waist. We walked to Ted's which was on the floor below us. "Call me if you need anything, yeah?" I nodded.

"Be careful and by careful I mean no motorcycle careful" I warned him sternly. "So help me god, if I find out you rode one I will kick your ass and that threat I will follow up on"

"I promise" He leaned my forehead against mine. "You worry too much….that's my job"

"You would to if you had to go through what I did" I told him. His facial expression softened. "I better go in" He cupped my face and placed a soft kiss on my lips. I moved over to Hayden. "You be good for daddy" I kissed his forehead and squeezed his little hand. "These little footsie pyjamas are so cute"

"Babe, your delaying it" Randy said, catching on to what I was doing.

"What if he doesn't want to talk to me?"

"Don't take no for an answer"

"So you mean take the Randy approach?"

"Exactly."

"Wish me luck" I sighed, leaning up to kiss him for a final time.

"You won't need it"

"I just hope your right"

"When am I not?"

"Ok Mr arrogant, get out of here" I placed my hands on my hips and pointed down the corridor. "Go on, get!"

"You hear that Hayden? We're obviously not wanted"

"Oh Hayden is, you on the other hand…" I jerked my thumb down the corridor. "Bye baby" I waved at Hayden, he opened his mouth widely and smiled back at me. "Bye Randall"

"Bye babe….do you ever think that our goodbyes take to long?"

"You just can't seem to get enough of me" I smirked.

"Now hold on a minute-"

"We've talked about this before Randall, branch your wings out, y'know? I'll make it easier on you, I'll go" I went inside the room, I heard Randy scoff and then I heard his footsteps getting fainter and fainter. I poked my head around the door. "I love you!" I turned back in the room.

I was a woman on a mission, determined to find out what was going on with Ted. I wasn't going to leave until I knew. Thoughts came into mind like, maybe he had cheated on Melina again, maybe he has had a falling out with his parents….his brother, whatever it was, I was going to find out. It was too weird living life without Ted's cheeriness. It was so rare that Ted would ever avoid people like he has done in the past couple of days, whatever was happening to him, I knew it was really having an affect on him. I looked around the room, only Cody was around.

"Is he in there?" I asked Cody, he looked over to where I was pointing and nodded.

"I tried to speak to him earlier, but he just wouldn't talk, I'm really worried about him" Cody told me.

"I don't know if I'll be able to get anything out of him" I replied, scratching the back of my head.

"It's hard for him to talk to me, because we're guys, we don't exactly talk about our…..feelings" He coughed awkwardly. "but he has opened up to you in the past, maybe he will this time."

"Let's hope" I walked over to his room. "Wish me luck" I took a deep breath and knocked. I didn't hear Ted's normal, 'COME IN! or WHAT'S THE PASSWORD?' It was just silence. I looked over at Cody who sent me a small smile, I turned the door knob and walked in. Ted was buried under his duvet covers. "Teddy?" I spoke. He was on his side, just starring at the window. I sat down on the end of his bed, I lifted up the covers and crawled so I was lying next to Ted. I wrapped my arms around his waist, he laid down on his back and starred up at the ceiling. "Let me tell you something right, once I will accept as a mistake, you ignore me twice and I'm starting to wonder if you still think I'm cool" I said to him, I got a smile out of him! And even a small chuckle, but that soon deceased. I rested my head on him. "What's wrong Theodore? Speak to me" No response. "I'm not leaving until you tell me what's wrong, you can talk to me Theodore, you know you can"

"It's nothing". Was the quiet response I got from him.

"Obviously it's not Theodore, this isn't like you" I rested my head on his chest. "You were there for me Ted, let me be there for you"

I titled my head up to look at him. "….I don't know what to do" His voice was shaky, it was like he was trying so hard to hold it together. It was horrible seeing him like this, normally he was so full of life, but his eyes….they were full of confusion and pain.

"You don't have to do anything, we can just lay here" I held onto Ted tighter, he wrapped his arms around me and rested his chin on my head. I had never seen him this bad, the only time I had seen him remotely like this was when him and Melina broke up. "I don't like to see you sad, what's up Teddy? Tell me what's wrong, we're all really worried about you"

"It's-" He started, but then paused.

"You can tell me Teddy"

"It's Maryse" He whispered. "She's….she's pregnant…with my baby"
