How Taking Down Legacy Failed

Mickie's P.O.V

The plane was a good one, no turbulence just smooth flying. Even Hayden was good, he didn't cry at all; instead he just looked fascinated with everything that went by. We were now in the taxi on our way to my parent's house. I hadn't called Randy yet; I was going to wait till I got home and was upstairs unpacking. I looked down at my phone and logged onto twitter.

Arrived safely in Richmond I tweeted. I then looked down at my news feed, Randy had tweeted too.

Just dropped my wife & son at the airport, missing them already, these three days are going to be long without them

I clicked on reply. RandyOrton remember TedDibiase needs to be taken out twice a day or he gets restless

Not long after, Ted retweeted this, followed by him tweeting: This is true. I laughed and shook my head; I am going to miss my boys! I paid the taxi and stepped out, my parents ran towards me.

"Mickie!" My mom squealed, pulling me into a tight hug. "It's so good to see you! You look so beautiful"

"Mom….dad" I smiled, I then hugged my dad.

"Welcome home darling, I'll get your stuff out of the taxi"

"And how is my handsome grandson? Haven't you gotten big!" Hayden smiled widely at my mom as I handed him to her. "My god, he has the Orton smile!"

"He smiles all the time, he is a happy baby" I ran my hand over his head. We walked into the house, my dad took my bags up into my old bedroom and walked me out in the garden. "I better call Randy before I-" I stopped when my dad passed me my helmet. "Oh my god, I completely forgot that could go-" I ran up to my horses and threw my arms around them. "I've missed you guys! "Rhapsody, Bunny and Casanova" I stroked them.

"Want to go for a ride?" My dad asked as he put on his helmet.

"Urm…" I looked over at my mom.

"I'll take care of Hayden" She smiled. "Want to help Grandma in the kitchen?"

"Thanks mom" I waved. "Be good Hayden" I watched them go back inside then let out a little squeal and got onto my horse. "I've missed this" I said as I rubbed Bunny's neck.

Randy's P.O.V

"Oh Randall…..Randall….Randall…..Randall" Ted said as he walked into the room, spotting me on the couch with my phone in my hand. Mickie's plane should have landed by now, it should of landed an hour ago, so why hasn't she called?

"Ted" I greeted unnerved. I knew I'd miss her a hell of a lot, but I never imagined it to be this much. I felt….I hate to say it but lonely without her around. I'm basically around her constantly that with her or Hayden, it's just quiet around here. It's made me think how the hell did I cope in pre Mickie and Hayden days.

"Yes Randall?"

"Shut up"

Ted gasped. "I'm telling Mickie!….MICKIE!" Ted yelled out. "MICKIE! TELL HIM! MICKIE!"

"She's not here Ted" I sighed.

"Where is she?"

I stared at him in disbelief. "Ted….she went to go stay at the her parents for a few days"

Ted gasped stupidly again. "That bitch didn't say goodbye!"

"Yes she did! Remember?"

"Nope, doesn't ring a bell"

"You grabbed her legs and started to yell 'The world hates me'"

"….OH YEAH! Good times!" I slapped my forehead. I see why my wife worries about him. "Why don't you call her instead of just starring at the phone?"

"Because she was suppose to call me when she landed" I told him as I leaned back on the couch.

"Maybe she forgot about you!"

"Thanks Ted."

"Well if your not going to call her, let's go"

"Go where?" I turned my head and asked him.

"To the arena, TLC tonight, god Randy, how can you forget?" I scoffed at this, a little hypocritical.

"You drive, I'll call Mickie in the car" I told him as I grabbed my bag, I looked around for Mickie's when it hit me that she wasn't here. "Alright, let's go" I grunted.

"Not the best way to go into TLC Randall, in a bad mood" Ted wagged his finger at me. "Besides, I thought we could have some manly conversation in the car"

"Manly conversation?

"Yeah!"

"About what?"

"How to convince Cody to let me have a pony"

"Right" I narrowed my brows at him.

"If Mickie was here, she would help me brain storm!"

I looked at Mickie twitter to see she had landed safely, she also replied to my tweet and taking Ted out twice a day, it made me chuckle.

I laughed even harder at her recent tweet;

MickieJames just to say, my mom is the best

Two minutes later, she then tweeted: My mum just twitter hacked me! what has the world come to...

Oh man, I miss her.

Mickie's P.O.V

Me and dad had just done a race around our field, we were putting the horses away when my cell started to vibrate. "Hello?" I answered.

"You forgot to call"

Oh o. "I'm sorry! I was about to, I swear, but then dad showed me my horses and I got a little distracted, forgive me?"

"Hmmm, I don't know babe, your not here to do your cute little sad face to make me forgive you" I could just feel him smirking through the phone.

"I'm also not there for you to see what I am wearing right now" It was my turn to smirk now.

"Babe, don't do this to me" He moaned quietly. "I'm in the car with Ted"

"….Awkward"

"Exactly, save this for later"

"But I might not be naked later" I smirked even more, he let out another moan.

"Babe, I'm warning you"

"Your not here to do anything about it to make me stop" I mocked him. I looked down at brushed the dirt off my jeans, I am such a liar.

He sighed heavily. "I miss you"

"I miss you too" I leaned again the door.

"Ironically, I don't get a headache when you are around, or when Hayden is screaming, but I get one as soon as your not here"

"Your suffering from withdrawals from Mickie" I told him chuckling slightly.

"I think I am, no joke"

"Are you on your way to TLC?"

"Yes I am" He told me. "How is Hayden?"

"He is fine, he is with my mom at the moment, preparing for my dad birthday party" I replied, as I walked in to where my mom was cooking.

"Your going to watch my match, right?"

"I wouldn't miss it" I smiled.

"I was thinking, since your not here to protect him, I thought I'd paid 'Justy' a little visit" My eyes widened at his.

"No Randall! No!"

"Should of thought about it before you left me"

"Be reasonable Randall! You are a reasonable man, right?"

"I can be reasonable…..for a price"

"Here it comes" I said, I waved at my mom, who picked up Hayden's small hand and made him wave back.

"Some pictures should do the trick" He said.

"Oh ok….one sec" I put him on hold. "Hey dad, do a funny face" Dad stuck out his tongue at the camera, I took the picture and sent it to Randy. I put myself back on the phone with him. "There" I told him.

"That's not what I meant babe and you know it"

"Oh right, hang on" I put him on hold again. "Hayden smile" Which Hayden did. "There we go" I said to Randy.

"Cute babe, but your killing me here"

"HE WANTS TO SEE SOME BOOBIES!" I heard Ted shout in the background.

"TED BUDDY!"

"MICKIE BUDDY!"

"C'mon babe, it will get me going for my match"

"Not going to happen Randall" I shook my head. "I have to go, some guests are starting to arrive"

He sighed. "Alright babe, call me later, actually call me this time, ok?"

"Ok" I said innocently.

"I love you"

"I love you too" Hayden made a noise. "Hayden sends his love too! Good luck on your match and stay away from Justin"

"You didn't send me the pictures so I don't have to do anything, bye babe" Dial tone. He wouldn't dare!

"Oh baby" My mom cupped my face. "You found a keeper there, a hot one too"

"Mom…." I said embarrassingly.

"I have a program for you and I to watch later, I think you will love it"

"What is it called?"

"The Vampire diaries"

"I don't know mom…. I don't particularly like Twilight"

"It's a billion times better then Twilight, trust me, just give it a shot" I smiled and nodded at her.

"Hey aunty Carol" I hugged my aunt as she came into the room,

"Where is that handsome young man of yours?" She said looking around.

"He couldn't make it, but he sends his love" I told her.

"Dammit, so much for the eye candy for this evening!" She nudged me jokily. I'm sure Randy would love to hear that!

Later

It was 3am in the morning. I was up watching The Vampire Diaries, my mom was right, I love it! I have fallen in love with Damon, must not tell Randy. Speaking of which, I hadn't called him, he lost his match with Miz, unfairly may I add, but I remember how much of a bad mood he is in when he loses at a paper view so I thought I'd call him in the morning instead.

Turns out, I didn't have to be the one to call him, my cell started vibrate and his name showed up for caller ID. I took a deep breath an answered it. "I hope I didn't wake you"

"I was already up" I told him. "I know I didn't call, but I didn't know whether you wanted to talk or not so yeah" I finished.

"It's ok, I just want to talk to you now. I'm surprised your up" He chuckled slightly.

"I'm surprised your up"

"I couldn't sleep"

"Me either"

"What are you doing to keep yourself amused?"

"I'm watching The Vampire Diaries" I told him. "I know what your thinking, but it's a billion times better then twilight! And the acting is much better"

"Hmmm"

"You should go to bed, your tired and its making you grumpy"

"No, I'm grumpy because I lost my match and my wife didn't bother to call" I stayed quiet. "I'm sorry babe, I didn't mean that, it's just been a hell of a long day, I wish you could just come home"

"It's only a few more days" I said softly.

"One day was bad enough" He sighed.

"Randy…"I said awkwardly. "Have you been drinking?"

"Might have had one or two….beers, who's counting"

"Go to bed Randy"

"I don't want to, I want to talk to you"

"You can talk to me in the morning" I told him. "Don't make me get Ted in there"

"I'll just RKO him like last time"

"Goodnight Randy"

"Wait!"

"What?" I asked him.

"Are those pictures still on offer?"

"I never offered them to you in the first place! You offered them to yourself!" I protested.

"C'mon babe, Melina sends them to Ted"

"Well Ted's a horny bastard"

"Maybe I'm a horny bastard"

"How do you know that?"

"You left me with having a 'manly' conversation with Ted on the phone earlier" Randy said. "Send"

"No Randy!"

"Look, I'm lonely, horny and hungry, so just send them."

"For the last time, no!"

"Fine, whatever" He hung up.

I hate drunk Randy! I knew I was going to get a very apologetic phone call in the morning; I laid back down on the couch and pressed play where my beloved Damon came back onto my screen.
