How Taking Down Legacy Failed

Mickie's P.O.V

It was the raw after Survivor series, John had done what he said and did the right thing, he called the match down the middle and Randy retained his championship. It surprised me as I thought John was all for destroying Randy, but I guess his fans do actually mean something to him. I hadn't gone to survivor series as Hayden wasn't well, but I was there for Randy when he got back to celebrate. Hayden was much better and I was glad to be able to come to Raw with Randy, he said he didn't like it that we weren't there last night.

"Your so cute" I told him, kissing his cheek.

"Yeah, but don't tell anybody" He replied, kissing my lips.

We walked into the locker room where everyone was already here, I went next to Ted who looked exhausted. Before I could even speak, he cut me off. "She cried most of the night"

"She will do, she's a baby" I told him. "You just need to get her into a routine, it's normal Ted don't look so frightened"

"Did Hayden cry a lot?" He asked me.

"Hell yeah, you'll get used to it…look she's asleep now" I looked down at Amelia who was cuddling up to her teddy, Cody. "Sleep when the baby sleeps"

"Good plan, night" Ted fell back on the couch, where Cody was laying and closed his eyes. Cody grunted and tried to push Ted off him, no luck.

"MAN! Get off me!" Cody growled.

"Excuse me, I am trying to sleep! GOD Cody" Ted closed his eyes back off. Cody shoved him off and Ted fell to the ground. "you didn't have to push me off!"

"Err yeah I did"

"Na-uh!"

"You sure Mia's the baby?"

Ted gasped, "MICKIE! Did you hear that? Unbelievable, you owe me an apology"

"I owe you nothing"

"I'm waiting…."

"If anyone owes anyone an apology, it's you to me!" Cody pointed out.

"That is ridiculously, what do I owe you an apology for? Sorry I am so perfect? It's not my fault"

"For trying to sleep on top of me"

Mia, hearing the noise, started to cry, "Oh well done Cody!" Ted begun to clap.

I went over to Randy who was sitting on the couch in front of the TV, he lifted his arm up as I sat down and then wrapped it around me.

"Ted's not the only sleepy one around here" I said as I peered into Hayden's buggy. I then looked up at Randy. "What?" I asked him. He pointed to the TV. Wade was out, along with the Nexus, he was talking about survivor series and demands a re-match. "Oh…are you worried?"

"Nope, I beat him once, I can beat him again" The general manager then confirmed that the match was going to happen. "How is Hayden this morning?"

"Much better, his temperature has gone down, I spoke to the doctors, he still needs to have his injection done" I told him.

"Your not going to like that, are you champ?" Randy used his free hand to wiggle Hayden's foot, Hayden stared up at him and reached his hand out to wrap around Randy's finger.

"Mickie…Mickie" I looked up to see Cody whispering, he put his finger over his lips and gestured me to follow him. We hid behind the couch and saw Ted rocking Amelia's buggy back and fourth as she was restless to sleep.

"And then daddy comes along, with the strength to carry on! And daddy will cast your fears aside and you know you will survive, so when you feel like hope is gone! Look inside you and be strong, then you'll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in daddy" Ted sang gently to Amelia, me and Cody were in fits behind the couch, we pinched our nose and put our hands over our mouths trying to muffle out our laughter, but it failed as Ted looked over at the couch and stared at us. "Look, I know what your thinking…."

"No it's ok Ted, you don't have to-"

"Why the fuck haven't I made an album yet? I know, I ask myself the same thing" Me and Cody exchanged looks, but went ahead with what Ted thought we were thinking.

"That's exactly what we were thinking" I said. "Right Cody?"

"Uhm, right!"

"Mickie" I turned around to see Randy, he was handing Hayden over to Becky. I nodded and we went to leave, we were going to the trainers to get his knee checked over, he had ached since last night when he took on Wade. Randy held my hand and as we left the locker room, Josh Matthews came up to us wanting an interview with Randy. He asked him questions about Survivor Series and all was going normal until Randy's response. He told Josh that he respects the hell out of John. Respects him? Josh said thank and left me and Randy to it, he grabbed my hand and went to carry on walking when I pulled back. "What's up?" He asked me.

"You respect him?"

Randy looked at me. "Babe I-" He started but stopped. "He sacrificed his job to do what's right"

"And that excuses what he did to me?"

"Of course not, but-"

"But nothing" I said sternly. "He doesn't deserve respect"

"What if he saved Hayden's life Mickie, would you still say you didn't respect him?" Randy asked me angrily.

"Don't you dare compare our son to your championship belt" I spat back at him. "I can't believe your standing up for him"

"I'm not saying I like hi-"

"But your saying you respect him, huh?"

"Would you stop-" He slammed his hand on the wall, inches away from my head. "interrupting me" He snarled.

"Why? So I can listen to you talking about how he deserve respect?" I said in disgust.

"He could of made me lose the championship" He hissed at me.

"He could of killed me, but obviously that doesn't matter to you" I pushed past him and kept walking. I can't believe he would say that, it's like he has forgotten everything that John has done.

I just walked around, I wasn't in the mood to go harass superstars which usually cheered me up. I just kept walking until I knew Randy wouldn't be in the locker, it was at the start of his match.

I came back to the locker room, everyone was gathered around the TV, Ted squished up and made room for me, Becky was holding Hayden who was sleeping. Wade came out to the ring first, followed by Randy, but as Randy came half way down the ramp the rest of the Nexus appeared at the top and raced down and started attacking him. "No…"I breathed out. "They can't do that!" They didn't ease up. "I have to go down there"

"I'll come with you" Becky said, handing Hayden over to Cody. I nodded over at her and ran with her to the gorilla position. They were still hurting him. "Mickie wait!" I heard Becky yell after me, but it was too last. The crowd screamed louder as they saw me coming down the ramp.

"David stop this" I pleaded with him, tugging at his arm. He looked surprised to see me.

"Mickie, you have to go back, now" David shouted at me.

"I'm not going anywhere, you need to stop this" Upon hearing my voice, Randy looked up at me.

"Mickie" He panted. "Go back" He then received a kick in the head by Husky. "GO back"

"Stop hurting him" I grabbed Husky's arm, but he shoved me down, I let out a scream as I landed badly on my wrist. "Stupid Windham" I muttered. I saw Randy look at me, his teeth grinded together and I could see how much pain he was in, but he still tried to crawl over to me. I held my wrist and starred at him. Nexus finally eased up and treated backstage. The referees finally came down to help.

"Get her back" Randy told them sternly, his voice was still graspy. "Get her first" He snapped.

"I'm fine" I stood up slowly but kept hold of my wrist. They helped Randy up and brought him to the trainers. They sit him down and he lets out a groan of pain as they check over his knee.

"Are you…." He stopped to let out another groan of pain. "ok?" He asked me, he pulled me to him and checked over my wrist.

"Am I ok?" I scoffed. "You're the one who just got attacked by five other men"

"But Husky shoved you down pretty hard"

"Mr Orton, we recommend that you don't fight tonight" The trainer told Randy. "You can't fight, not on that knee"

"So your saying you want me to forfeit?" Randy raised his brow. "No chance" He moved off the table and groaned again as he put weight on his knee.

"Randy…" I tugged on his arm. "You can't go out there"

"I'm not forfeiting my championship Mickie, I'd rather fight and lose it then lose it by forfeit, I'm not letting Barrett win" I starred at him and reluctantly had to let him go.

He stopped when he reached the gorilla position. His music hit, but he didn't go, he turned to me. "I'm sorry about earlier, I don't like it when we fight, I do love you Mickie"

"I love you too" I leaned up and kissed him. "Good luck" I leaned my forehead against his. "Come back in one piece, will ya?"

"I will" He chuckled. "Just promise me, next time Nexus comes out to attack me or whatever, just stay backstage, don't come out, it nearly killed me to see Husky shove you down like that"

"Hey, you'd do the same for me, now go kick his ass"

He smiled and kissed me. "I will, go back to locker room" He told me, I nodded and watched him go, before rushing back to the locker room.

"Is he ok?" Ted asked me.

"I hope so" I replied, sitting back down to watch the match.

Randy was limping, he starred darkly at Wade. Randy started the match, looking like he was going to dominant it, but Wade sent a kick to his leg which was Randy's weakness at the moment and Wade knew that. Randy fought back as best as could and he impressed me, but once again Wade worked on the injured knee. Randy was clutching it in pain and I was terrified he was going to do some serious damage to it. I knew it would break Randy's heart to lose the championship tonight, especially as he fought so hard for it. He just kept working on his knee, he wouldn't ease up, Wade went for the pin, but Randy kicked out. Wade put Randy in a submission move, Randy was able to kick him off and then as Wade turned around, he got the back breaker on him.

Randy slowly stood up and rested on the term buckle, Wade came towards him, Randy kicked up his leg, but Wade grabbed it and threw Randy to the ground. Wade pulled Randy's leg and then lifted Randy up to his shoulder and performed his finisher.

At that moment, I thought it was all over. I closed my eyes as I heard the referee start to count the pin, but then it stopped. I opened my eyes to see that John had pulled the referees leg out of the ring so the pin was interrupted. He then gave Wade the attitude adjustment, Nexus then came to Wade's rescue, chasing John out of the arena. Wade was down and Randy was using the ropes to lift himself up. The ref had crawled back into the ring. Wade stood up to get Randy, but Randy suddenly hit him with the RKO.

1,2,3 and the bell went off. The biggest smile came on my face. "He did it! He did it Hayden, daddy did it!"

Randy held up his belt, but still struggled to stand up straight, suddenly…

AWESOME

Oh no. Miz charged down with his briefcase, Randy's face dropped. He cashed in his contract, Randy starred darkly at Miz, just like he did with Wade. Miz went straight for the injured knee just like Wade did. "Oh god no, he can't lose it Ted" Randy tried to fight back, but he was already so weak. Miz had Randy down and continued to work on the knee. He grabbed Randy's knee and hit it against the metal post. I got up from my seat and walked out of the locker room, I ran to gorilla position where I stood and watched the match there. "Come on Randy…"

Miz charged towards Randy, Randy clothesline him, he slowly went into snake mode, he started to slam the mat, but would it be enough? He went for the RKO, but Miz countered into his finisher. "No!" I screamed out as Miz got the pin and bell went off. "No" I shook my head.

"The winner of this match and new WWE champion, The Miz" It was announced. I watched in disgust as Miz celebrated his win, knowing that he didn't deserve it. Even when Miz passed me, my face was still scrunched up in disgust.

He looked at me and laughed along with Alex Riley. "Awwwww" He said and continued walking. When Randy reached it backstage, he was refusing help that the trainers were offering, pushing him all away.

"Get Hayden and meet me by the car" He said sternly.

"Randy" I grabbed onto his arm.

"Mrs Orton" We both turned our heads. "Would you like to come and get your wrist checked out?"

I looked over to Randy, this could get him to get his knee checked out. "Ok" I said, clutching my wrist. Randy followed on without a word, I sat on the bed and allowed the trainer to look over my wrist.

"You've sprained your wrist, we'll just bandage that up for you" I nodded and sent him a small smile.

"You must as well get your knee checked out, whilst I'm getting wrapped up" I said to Randy softly. He still looked as pissed as hell, but he nodded and sat down. He didn't say a word throughout getting his knee wrapped up.

"There we go" The trainer said as he finished my wrap. "How does it feel?"

"Soar" I told him.

"You took quite a falling"

"More like shove" Randy muttered.
