How Taking Down Legacy Failed

I stayed quite for a moment, processing what Ted had just told me. Maryse? Not Melina, Maryse, Ted's ex….well not really girlfriend, more like a fuck buddy, was now pregnant. Ted…was going to become a father? Still processing….still processing….it's starting to make sense, why Ted's been in such a bad mood, it started when he came back from seeing Maryse. I didn't know what to do or to say, this is something Ted had to decide on his own. I had to stop myself from freaking out for Ted's sake, but inside, I was going crazy which I know is half what Ted is feeling right now. He had gone to see Maryse to end things completely in case she had other ideas now that he is with Melina. That's why she went away for awhile, never did I think that this would happen. "S-she's pregnant?" Were the only words I found myself speaking, he did nothing but nod. "And you're sure it's yours?"

I lifted my head up when I felt Ted move; he sat up and leaned his back against the cushions. It was then I properly had a good look at him. He looked like he hadn't slept well, or even eaten well. Ted would normally never let anyone see him unless he looked his best, but it was like now, he didn't care, his mind was elsewhere, he had a bigger problem then his looks which was weird for Ted. He rested his head in the palm of his hand. "The timings right and we were never all that careful" He said in a hushed voice, refusing to look me in the eye.

I nodded and moved opposite him, I put my hand over his free hand. He used his fingers to rub around his temples. You could see clearly how stressed this situation was making him. It was so weird seeing him like this, normally, Ted's biggest stress problem was whether his hair was in place or not. "How far along is she?" I asked him.

"Almost nine months" He whispered, closing his eyes and covering his face. "It's like, I don't even get a heads up or time to decide what the hell am I going to do" I stayed quiet and let him speak. "I'm not ready to be a father and the whole thing with Melina, we've only just gotten back together, I don't want to ruin that"

"Does she know?"

"No" He answered. "How can I tell her when I don't know myself what I'm going to do?" He sighed and leaned his head back. I watched him as it looked like he was having a constant battle with himself in side his head.

"You've locked yourself away for two days; have you come up with anything?"

"No" He muttered. "Stupid, right?" His eyes flickered up to the ceiling, once again avoiding looking at me.

"Normal, yes, stupid? no." I scooted over to him. "You're human Ted"

"I'm also going to be a father" He mumbled. "Whether I like it or not"

"I thought you wanted to be a father"

"I did…when I was older and had settled down" He moved his fingers through his short hair. "It seems so obvious now, her going away….all the text messages…"

"When is she due?" I asked him.

"In the next two weeks" He shuffled down and put the covers over him. "I don't want to talk anymore"

"That's ok, we can just…." I laid down next to him, resting my head on his chest; I thought it was the wrong move until I felt Ted put his arm around me. I closed my eyes.

I don't know how long we were asleep for, but I'm glad we were both asleep, me and Ted. By the looks of him, he really needs it. I pulled the covers off my leg and hopped off the bed. I looked over myself in the mirror, I quickly fixed my messed up hair and straightened out my clothes. I opened the door to the lounge and walked out, Cody was no where in sight, I guess I would have to talk to him about Ted in the morning. I walked back down the corridor, I checked my watch, I had been asleep with Ted for five hours. I got my key card out for my room; I walked in and found it empty. I walked up to the kitchen counter and dropped my stuff; I leaned on the counter and let out a deep breath. The reality of the situation was starting to sink in.

"Hey babe" Randy made me jump as he came up behind me as wrapped his arms around me.

"Randy!" I gasped, placing my hand on my chest. "You scared me; I didn't know you were home"

"I got home an hour ago" He kissed my cheek. He placed his hands on my hips and turned me around. He pulled up his shirt and lifted up a thin sheet covering his tattoo. He winced a little, but showed in black italic, he had written Mickie & Hayden.

"Oh Randy" My eyes scanned over it. "I love it" I smiled up at him, I then wanted to be a little evil. "But I've been thinking….Hayden doesn't really suit him…I was thinking we could change it to something else…like Aiden" I wish I had it on camera, Randy's face just dropped. "I'm kidding" His chest inflated and he nudged me away. "You should have seen your face!" I stepped forward, but he pushed me back again. "Fine! I'll just go find someone who appreciates my humour!" I went to walk away, but he grabbed me by the waist and kissed at my neck.

"No" He said childishly. "Mine"

"Share!"

"No!" I squirmed to get out of his grip.

"I'm not letting go so you might as well stop" I struggled for a little more, but after no progress was made, I stopped and crossed my arms, leaning back into him. "Good."

"I hate you"

"No you don't"

"I might do…"

"But you don't" He smirked.

"How can you be sure?" I turned so we were chest to chest, he slid his hands above my waist.

"Well, your married to me and you had my baby" He raised his brow and leaned closer to me. "That was a bit of a clue"

"All part of the plan" I smirked.

"What plan?"

"The plan to become the next WWE champion" I stepped forward and tried to square up to him. It was hard considering how short I was and how tall he was….even going on tip toes didn't help.

"Babe, we've already been through this and if I recall, last time, I kicked your ass" He put his hand on my shoulder and pushed down so that I was no longer on tip toes.

"You caught me off guard….and you cheated"

"Oh babe, it's so cute that you actually think you could take me on" He flicked my chin with his finger.

"Oh Randall, it's so cute that you don't think I actually can" I replied mockingly, flicking his chin with my finger. He opened his mouth to say something when he was cut off by the sound of Hayden's crying.

"Guess he realised mommy is home" He smiled, I followed him into the bedroom. "C'mon champ" Randy said lifting him up.

"He is so beautiful" I smiled as I moved my finger down his cheek. He had stopped crying, but his eyes were still watery. "I think someone wants to go in their bouncer" Randy passed Hayden to me and I walked over to the bouncer. "Best investment ever" I strapped him and he started bouncing almost straight away. "Oh he is the most adorable baby ever!"

"Just like his mother"

"You never saw me as a baby"

"Yes I have"

"When?" Randy dug into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet, he flipped it open and there was a baby picture of me. "What? Where the hell did you get that from?"

"Remember that time, I tried to annoy you by going to your mom's? You know when we first met" I nodded. "She gave it to me, remember?"

I thought back and it hit me, I looked at him in surprise. "You kept that? After all this time?" He nodded and smiled. "I don't know if that's the sweetest things I've ever heard….or the creepiest"

"Let's go with sweetest" He closed up his wallet and put it away. "I forgot to ask, how did things go with Ted?" He asked me, he slumped back on the couch, he leaned forward and grabbed my hand, pulling me to sit on top of him. I rested against his chest.

"It's not good" I sighed, looking over at Hayden who was bouncing away. "It's Maryse, she's pregnant"

"I thought he didn't care about her" Randy asked.

"-with his kid" I finished, Randy's mouth formed in shape of an 'o'.

"What is he going to do?"

"He doesn't know yet, I don't think he actually wants anything to do with the baby, but he doesn't want to just abandon it, if you know what I mean"

"Yeah I do babe" Randy shuffled his arms so I was leaning back so I could see his face clearly. "I feel sorry for the guy, it's not easy, a baby sprung on him like that" I narrowed my brows at him. "I'm not using Hayden as an example, it's more of the time when Sam got pregnant and you thought you were"

I nodded and accepted his answer. "I just wish I there was something I could do"

"I could go speak to him if you want, tell him about fatherhood"

I sat up slightly. "You would?" I asked him, it would be good for Ted to speak to another person….especially a guy who is currently adapting to fatherhood.

"Yeah, it would be a bit awkward, but I could try" He gave me a small smile.

I wrapped my arms around him. "Thank you" I leaned my head against his chest and for a few minutes, we sat together in silence, just enjoying each others company, each others touch. After more minutes of silence, I spoke up. "That time, when I thought I was pregnant, when you were with Sam, were you happy when it turned out I wasn't?" I asked him, something surprisingly I hadn't asked him before. It was weird looking back at that time, when he was with Sam, he seems like a completely different Randy now.

"Not exactly" He replied. "At the time, I didn't want you to be because of how complicated things were, but when you told me that the test was negative, I actually found myself being disappointed"

I smiled at his response and gently kissed him, before he could get too in to the kiss, I leaned out before hopping off his lap completely. "I'm going for a shower"

"I think I might just join you in that" He smirked and got up, I was about to stop him when I thought of an evil plan.

"Ok" I replied, smiling innocently. I walked over to the bathroom and stepped in, just as Randy was about to walk in, I turned around and blocked his entrance. "You know what I just realised? We can't both have a shower because someone needs to look after Hayden….aw….shame" I mocked a pout at him.

His smile dropped. I shrugged innocently and took of my top, chucking it at Randy. He glared at me. "You're such a tease"

"I am not!"

"You wanna bet?"

"How much?" I retorted placing my hands on my hips, raising my brow.

He laughed at my response. "One billion dollars"

"I'll take a cheque" I told him, I undid my bra strap and let it slide off, then I shut the door completely on Randy.

"Just remember, I know where you live!" I heard him yell out on the other side of the door.
