Chapter 14 surprises await.
Over the next few months things were busy for Randy and Kate. Kate was back to work full-time ... she was also in the process of helping with the engagement party that her mom insisted that they have at the end of February. Kate and Kelly hadn't talked since November and it was now February. Kate missed her best friend but was being stubborn and didn't want to be the one to call first.
Kate was on the tour bus typing an article for the magazine. When Ted, Cody and Randy came in they didn't seem very happy. Which was never a good sign because they had a meeting with the creative team.
Cody: This is just stupid, we were the strong faction in the last year and half and now this.
Ted: I know I don't like it either but what do you want to do about it Cody?
Randy: I mean I guess it makes sense we will all be fine going out separate ways.
Cody: Say's the Viper who will dominate this industry no matter what.
Kate took out her ear buds and looked up at them.
Kate: Trouble with Legacy boys?
Ted sat at the table across from Kate.
Ted: Yeah Kit... they are splitting us up at Mania.
Kate: What? You have to be kidding.
Cody: No apparently it starts at elimination chamber between these two.
Pointing to Ted and Randy.
Kate: Did they say why?
Randy: They want us to start doing our own thing again I guess.
Kate: Can't you do that and still be legacy. I mean hello you are the legacy. You have the son of the million dollar man , the son of Dusty Rhodes and my favorite the son of Cowboy Bob Orton.
Ted: Hey I thought I was your favorite?
Kate smiled: You were until he put on ring on it!
Showing of her engagement ring.
Ted laughed: Well if I knew that is all it would take I would have done that on our second date.
Kate: You would have bought me a ring at Wal-Mart?
Ted: You didn't complain at the time.
Kate: I will admit Ted it was one of the best dates I have ever been on.
Randy: Hey I am standing right here you know.
Kate: I know .. I said it was one of my favorite dates. Look I hope they don't break up Legacy because you guys rock, but if they do you guys need to make sure that you don't get lost mid card. I would hate to see that for any of you.
Cody: Kit Kat you care way too much for us.
Kate: It's what I do.
Randy smiled and kissed her cheek.
That night after the show Randy and Kate headed back to St. Louis. Kate been staying at Randy's apartment all the time, she just hadn't officially moved in yet.
Randy: I was thinking that we should set a date for the wedding.
Kate smiled: Really?
Randy: Of course. I asked you to marry me didn't I ... that means we are going to get married. At least that's what I've heard happens.
Kate smiled: Smart Ass. Alright.
Kate reached into her bag and pulled out a calendar.
Kate: Alright Orton when do you want to marry me?
Randy: Don't girls usually have these things all planned out... with the colors and things like that?
Kate: I have always dreamed of a fall wedding ... it's a romantic season... with Reds , Blacks and Whites.
Randy: September it is ... now Night of Champions is that month so hmm let's see.
Kate: How about labor day weekend? There aren't really a lot of house shows so our friends could come?
Randy smiled: Perfect September 4th we are getting married.
Randy kissed Kate's cheek.
Kate: We are getting married.
A few days later - Randy was booked for some house shows and Kate didn't have to work so she was driving home to Chicago. To tell her mom they had a wedding date and to help with the finishing touches of the engagement party that was in like a week. They were laying in bed that morning cuddling, Kate loved quiet mornings like this. She looked down at her ring.
Randy: You like your ring huh?
Kate: Yes is it that obvious?
Randy smiled: You look at it all the time.
Kate: It's beautiful. But...
Randy: But what Kit?
Kate: What did I ever do to deserve you and this amazing ring?
Randy: You love me and I love you ... that's all that matters and I can't wait for the day you become my wife.
Kate smiled as Randy crawled on top of her and began to kiss her neck and massage her body with his hands. As Randy moved to her lips , Kate got a nauseous feeling in her stomach like she was about to get sick... she quickly pushed Randy off her and ran to the bathroom. She made it just in time. Randy was concerned she had felt run down lately but just thought she was over worked.
Randy: Kit you alright in there?
Kate didn't answer because she was sick once again.
Randy was now standing in the door way, Kate looked over at him a little annoyed.
Kate: I don't need audience you know.
Randy: Kit are you alright?
Kate: Does it look like ... it?
She thought she would get sick again ... but didn't. After a few minutes of silence Kate stood up and brushed her teeth.
Randy: Kate I really don' want you to drive all the way to Chicago if you're still feeling sick especially in the snow.
Kate: So you want me to fly... it's like an hour flight?
Randy: I am saying that if you're not feeling well you should stay home. Kit?
Kate: Randy it's fine ... I'm fine. Probably just something I ate... you did cook for me last night.
Randy: Ha ... Ha! You are funny. Sweetheart are you sure you feel well enough to drive?
Kate: Yes... besides my mom needs me to help finish all the stuff for our engagement party next week.
About noon Kate finally packed a few bags and Randy carried them out to her white 2007 grand prix ... it was starting to snow lightly.
Randy: Kit I think you should take my truck.
Kate: Randy honey... my car is fine ... and your truck is huge. I will be fine.
Randy: Alright are you sure?
Kate: yes... wow if you keep worry like this well I don't think I am gonna marry you.
She laughed as Randy rolled his eyes.
Randy: What am I gonna do with Kit Kat?
Kate smiled as she wrapped her arms around his waist and he did the same and looked down into her eyes.
Kate smiled: Love me.
Randy: Every Damn Day for the rest of our lives I will love you.
He kissed her and then she got into the car... Randy stood there and watched her drive away.
About 4 hours later Kate made it to her parents house. She called Randy before she even entered the house to let him know that she had made it.
Kate sat down to dinner with her family and all her mom would talk about was the party next weekend.
Kate: Mom I told you that you didn't need to plan this huge party for us.
Nina: I know but we are celebrating your engagement so just enjoy it. Now do you and Randy have a date for the wedding yet?
Kate smiled: Yes we do actually.
Nina: What? You do and you didn't tell me does Elaine know?
Kate: Yes we told Randy's family yesterday.
Nina: Well when is it?
Kate: September 4th.
Brock: That's labor day weekend.
Kate: Yes, well the WWE only has a few house shows that weekend so most of our friends can come.
Brock: I don't know if we can find a nice place in Chicago that weekend.
Kate: Actually since the engagement party is here in Chicago Randy and I thought it would be nice to get married in St. Louis.
Nina: Really?
Brock: That's not a bad idea.
Nina: Brock.
Brock: What ... Nina it makes sense.
They talked a little more wedding talk when Kate's phone went off.
Kate: Hello?
Walker: Hey Katie It's Walker. I heard you were in town this weekend?
Kate: Yeah I am actually.
Walker: Great well I just got out of work... give me 20 minutes and I am coming to pick you up.
Kate: Walker please I really don't feel like going out.
Walker: Katie I haven't seen you since January get ready and I will be there in 20.
Kate: Fine.
Sure enough if it's one thing Kate could count on it was Walker being on time... must be a Fireman thing. Kate changed her clothes in to a pair of jeans with black boots a white tank top and a grey off the shoulder sweater. They were now in Walker's car.
Kate: are you going to tell me where we are going?
Walker: We do we always go.
Kate and Walker arrived and he ordered.
Walker: you normal drink Katie?
She still wasn't feeling great and she knew alcohol would make it worse.
Kate: No... just a ginger ale for me.
Walker: Really you're not drinking tonight?
Kate: Not tonight just not feeling it.
They sat down and started talking and catching up. Randy of course called her twice to see how she was doing. She told him she would out with Walker.
Walker grabbed the phone.
Walker: Randy I've got her she's fine I wont let anything happen to her I promise.
Randy: I am going to hold you to that Walker. If anything does happen I will not hesitate to RKO you.
Walker: Katie that man really loves you.
Kate: Yeah I am fond of him too.
Then Kate's heart stopped when she saw Kelly and Lane walk in. Kelly and Kate's eyes met.
Kate: Walker did you know she was going to be here?
Walker: I could never lie to you ... yes Lane and I are tired of you two fight so we invited you both here tonight to talk.
Kate got up: Nope ... not gonna happen Walker not tonight. She doesn't want me to marry Randy.
Walker: And you called her a drunken whore I know. I've heard the story.
Kelly and Lane were now at the booth.
Lane: Hi Katie.
Kate: Hi Lane.
Kelly and Kate just looked at each other.
Lane: Kelly say something.
Kelly: Hey.
Kate: Hey.
Lane: OK this has to stop you to are best friends you have to talk to each other.
Kate: I have nothing... nothing left ... to...
But before Kate could finish her sentence she got another sick feeling to her stomach and ran to the bathroom.
Kate's POV: Great I am puking in a bar and I am not even drunk. This is just great.
With Randy- He met up with John, Ted and Cody.
Randy: Just the boys I was looking for.
John: I didn't do it... it was Ted ... he did it.
Randy: Did what?
John laughed: Nothing.
Ted: What's up man.
Randy: Alright next weekend is the engagement party that Kate's parents insisted on having for us. Well I think I have the perfect surprise for Kate... but I am gonna need you three bone heads to pull it off. Are you in?
Cody: Hell yeah we're in.
Ted: Yeah anything for Kit Kat.
Randy: John?
John: What is this surprise first?
Randy: Either you're in or not.
John: What the hell anything for Kate. I'm in.
Randy smiled: Good. If any of you tell you I will punt you in the skull.
They guys all laughed as Randy began to tell him the plan for the surprise.
