Chapter 20 Hold on My Heart!

It was a few days before Extreme Rules and Randy had been gone over a week but he was coming home this afternoon. Kate had been running around with Gracie all day and was really tired. She finally convinced Gracie to watch a movie , however not even 10 minutes in Kate had fallen asleep on the couch.

When Randy came home he couldn't help but smile at his beautiful wife sleeping on the couch. Gracie was thrilled to see him.

Randy: How longs mommy been sleeping?

Gracie: Since before Ariel lost her voice.

Randy smiled it was now the end of the movie where Prince Eric is chasing down the sea witch.

Randy: Mommy's been tired princess?

Gracie: Yeah we went out to lunch then went to the park since it was warm. You know mommy can't run very fast any more.

Randy: Gracie remember we talked about this mommy shouldn't be running at all.

Gracie: I know but I want to play.

Randy: I know baby! *kissed her forehead*

Then Randy softly kissed Kate's lips she stared to stir and wake up.

Randy: Good Morning.

Kate: Hey you. When did you get home?

Randy: Less than 10 minutes ago. Now go get dresses we are going out to dinner!

Kate let out a yarn as Randy pulled her off the couch. They got ready to go and headed to a nice little place for dinner.

They sat down and ordered. Every one in St. Louis was really cool about leaving Randy a lone for autographs especially when he was with his family. They were eating dinner and just having a nice time as family.

Kate: Gracie did you tell your dad that we stopped at your new school today?

Gracie shook her head No.

Randy: You did?

Kate: Yeah just a quick stop I grab her new preschool enrollment form. They have her signed up but they needed her medical information I guess.

Gracie: Yeah Daddy I starting school.

Randy: You are princess are you excited?

Gracie: Yeah I guess.

Randy: You guess? You don't want to go to school.

Gracie: I do but then I wont be home with my little sister.

Kate: Gracie we will only be gone three hours in the morning. You'll like school I promise.

Randy: Why do we think the baby is girl again?

Gracie: I just know I am going to have a little sister.

Kate smiled: I think we need to find out soon.

Randy smiled: I agree.

On the way home Gracie had fallen asleep so Randy carried her up stairs. Kate was so tired that she made it to the couch and that was it. When Randy came down he sat next to her and softly put his arm around her.

Randy: Tired Sweetie?

Kate: Yes very. I don't remember being this tired when I was pregnant with Gracie. I just don't have any energy.

Randy: Well you weren't chasing our three-year old in the park either. You should really slow down and pace yourself.

Kate smiled: Tell that to Gracie. All day today she was on the go.

Randy: I know that I am going to regret this but how about you and Gracie come on the road with me for the next few days?

Kate: What?

Randy: Maybe it will give you a chance to rest a little more and Stephanie has been bugging me that she wants to see you. What do you say?

Kate: If your sure?

Randy hesitated: Yeah I am sure.

The next day they told Gracie the news she was so excited to be able to travel in Randy. She couldn't wait to see every one. Kate and Randy packed up the tour bus a few days later and headed to Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

When they arrived Kate and Gracie stayed on the bus, tonight was not the night to go in and see everyone. The energy was intense and everyone was getting ready for the Pay Per View. So they hung on the bus. The show was about to start and Kate didn't want Gracie to watch it so she was putting her to bed. Kate read to her and then covered her up. But that little 3-year-old could put up a fight that's for sure. She wanted to stay up to watch her dad and evolution bet the Shield. For some reason over the past few weeks Gracie turned on the shield she wasn't happy with them. Deep down Kate wondered if it was because she truly missed Dean or if it was because he cause her parents to fight. She didn't honestly know. And tonight at Extreme Rules she didn't want her daughter to watch the match.

Their match started and Kate laid in bed watching the match she hadn't been this close to Dean in weeks. This match was intense and brutal and it all seemed personal. Kate couldn't help but have tears in her eyes watching the two men she cared about beating each other up and their friends backing them up. Did she still care for Dean of course she did but she loved her husband too. Was there a part of her that wondered if the baby she is carrying was actually Deans. Yes those thoughts flooded her dreams every night. At one point towards the end of the match Hunter and Randy were beating on Dean somewhere in the arena and he fell down the stairs. For something being scripted it seemed to be way to real for Kate.

The Shield won after Roman finally pinned Dave.

After the show Kate watched out the bus window as Roman, Dean and Seth got in to the car and left. There was a part of her that wanted to rush to him but she stopped herself.

Kate's POV: What the hell is wrong with me? I am with Randy. I chose to be with him. I love him. Why can't I just be happy. Seeing Dean again in person just flooded my heart and mind with all the passion and feelings I had for him.

That night Kate tossed and turned she couldn't get comfortable and he mind was racing.

Randy: Honey you need to sleep.

Kate: Sorry did I wake you?

Randy: Yeah kind of.

Kate: Sorry baby just go back to sleep.

Randy: Kate what's wrong?

Kate: Nothing go back to sleep.

Kate kissed his lips softly. Then got out of bed. She headed to the front of the bus and sat at the table looking out the window and saw the country side speeding by. She couldn't stop thinking about Dean, yet her husband was being an amazing man. Forgiving her for making a mistake , taking her back. Agreeing to raise a baby that might not be his. Why couldn't she just be happy and forgot all about Dean Ambrose. What was this hold he had on her heart.
