Chapter 42 What the Hell is your Problem?
Randy in the locker room getting ready for the show. He really didn't have many friend on Smackdown because he had been on Raw the last 5 years and the Raw and Smackdown guys barely saw each other. But he was making the most of it and to be honest Sheamus was a funny guy to hang out with. When he noticed he had a few missed calles all from Kate. He called her back.
"Hello Randy?" Nina said on the other end of the phone.
"Nina? Where's Kate?" He asked.
"Randy I think you should come to Chicago tonight." Nina said.
"Why? What's wrong Nina where's Kate?" He asked trying to hold in fear and concern.
"She started having contractions at the bridal shower after" her voice trailed off.
"After what? What is going on did they stop them? Is the baby ok?"
"Randy if you can please?"
"I am on the next flight I promise."
Randy told everyone he was sorry but he had to go to Chicago. They understood and he was on the next plane to Chicago.
A few Hours Later in Chicago:
Kate was sitting her hospital bed they were watching the baby's heart rate and hers. When the doctor came back in.
"Is everything alright? How is my baby?" Kate asked with concern.
"You're baby is just fine. You were having Braxton Hicks contraction. They are quite normal in pregnancy. But I would say these were caused by stress." The doctor told her. "I've called Doctor Weston and told her you were here and she recommends that when you get home you see her. Alright?"
"Yes of course. But my daughter she's ok?" Kate asked again.
"Yes Mrs. Orton your daughter is fine. But you need to stay stress free do you think you can do that?" He asked.
Kate just nodded as Nina came back in to the room.
"I just talked to Randy and he just landed and is on his way." Nina said with a smile.
"Mom you shouldn't have called him and that was fast?" Kate said.
"He's your husband and he took Vince's jet is what he said." Nina told her.
With in 15 minutes Randy came bursting into her room wearing Jeans and his Apex Predator shirt.
"Oh Kate Honey Are you ok? How's the baby? What the hell happened?" Randy said as he walked up to her and kissed.
"Well man of many questions do you want the long version or the short?" Kate said with a smile.
"The part that tells my wife and daughter are ok?" Randy said.
"We are fine. Both me and Gracie. Apparently they were Braxton Hicks contractions but they scared me and I thought I was in labor." Kate told him.
"But you're both ok?"
"Yes. We just have to see Dr. Weston when we get home for a follow-up."
"Did they say what causes them?"
Kate didn't say anything.
"Kate? What causes them?"
"Randy they are a normal part of pregnancy." She finally said.
"Alright? But why do I get the feeling you're not telling me everything? Kate?"
"Kate Lynn tell your husband everything." Nina scowled at her daughter like she was a child.
"Mom. It's fine." Kate said.
"No Randy needs to know why you were so stressed today. Randy the doctor thinks these were contractions cause by stress." Nina told her son-in-law.
"Stress I thought this was supposed to be a fun day?" Randy said.
"Well Kelly" Nina started.
"Damn It. Kate I told you this wasn't a good idea this is all because of Kelly. I wont lose you or my daughter because of her. Kate I know she is your best friend but clearly she isn't good for you." Randy said.
Kate didn't say anything she just listened to her husband he did have a point she may be her best friend but again they were in a fight over Randy and she could have cared less about all the work Kate put into the shower.
"I don't want to talk about it alright. I just want to know when I can go home and you have to be in Washington DC the day after tomorrow for the pay per view." Kate told him.
"Kate I'll skip it if you need me."
"Randal Keith Orton you are the World Heavy Weight Champion and you have a match against Christian you will not skip it. Gracie and I are fine. I just want to go home and rest in my own bed." Kate said.
"Alright I'll go talk to the Doctor ok?" Randy said.
"Thank you." Then she kissed him softly.
While Randy was gone Nina went to go check on Brock and Georgie who in the cafeteria. Lane and Walker came in to see Kate.
"How are you doing Katie?" Walker asked.
"I am fine thanks. The baby is fine. It was just stress."
"I am really sorry about Kelly." Lane said.
"Don't be it's not your fault she's an ungrateful bitch." Kate snapped.
"Katie Please." Lane said.
"What Lane? What? I know you love her and you're getting married in a few weeks but I can't , not any more. I have been there for her more times that I can count and this is how she repays me. Getting drunk on a Friday afternoon? Showing up late to her own bridal shower. Calling me out about my marriage. Lane I have forgiven her for a lot of shit but this time I am sorry but I just can't. So have a nice wedding because I wont be there." Kate told him.
"Katie please think about what you're saying. I know Kelly is sorry and when she sobers up you'll see." Lane tried to convince her.
"Lane I love you. You know that but Kelly crossed the line this time. She's just become to reckless with her own life and I just can't be apart of it any more. I have to start looking out for me and my daughter. I was hit by a car chasing after her and I am not even going to get into all the times I saved her ass in High School. I just can't do it anymore. Please understand the only thing that matters to me is my daughter and my husband. I need to focus on them." Kate said.
" I understand. I really hope that you and Kelly can work this out because I know she can't lose you as her best friend. Kate she wont survive without you." Lane said.
"Well she seems to be doing just fine." Kate said.
"Katie listen take some time and think about this. Is cutting Kelly out of your life really what you want to do?" Walker asked.
"Walker I love you too and just because I don't want Kelly in my life doesn't mean I don't want you or Lane. But please just try to understand."
Lane and Walker understood Kate's point they just knew that Kelly and Kate were best friends.
When they left the hospital room they ran in to Randy. He didn't look happy to see either one of them.
"Tell me that Kelly not in the room right now?" Randy said to Lane in his angry viper voice.
"Calm down Viper. Kelly's still out with Robin." Lane said.
"Even better. Doesn't even ask about her best friend. I'm sorry Lane but Kate can't do this anymore. What the hell is Kelly's problem lately anyway?"
"I wish I knew. She doesn't really talk to me much."
"Dude that doesn't bother you? You're still going to marry her in a few weeks?" Walker asked.
"No." Lane said looking over at Randy and Walker. "Kate's right we've bailed her out. If she doesn't change and make things right with Kate no Walker I wont marry her in a few weeks. Randy look I know you don't like Kelly for many reasons but Kate and Kelly are best friends and I would hate to see their friendship end now. I mean Kate's having a baby and Kelly's getting married these are times when girls need their best friend." Lane explained.
"Yeah I know. But Kelly I'm sorry man but she's hurt my wife one to many times and this time I wont let that happen again. Sorry."
With that Randy went back in to Kate's room. Kate smiled when she saw that Randy a large cup in his hand.
"Is that for me?" Kate said with a smiled.
"Actually it's for my amazing pregnant wife have you seen her?"
"I am so glad that I am you're wife right now." she laughed.
"Me to Babe me too. So here is your chocolate milk shake." He said as he handed her the cup and she began to drink it.
"Hmm this is so good. You are to good to me Rand`al Keith Orton."
"Well that's because I love you."
"So when can I get the hell out of her?" She asked.
"Tomorrow morning." He told her.
"You have got to be shitting me?"
"No. Tomorrow morning if all your vitals stay normal."
"Fine. Are you flying out tomorrow then?" Kate asked him.
"No I am flying out of St. Louis Sunday Morning." Randy told her.
The next day Randy took Kate home when they pulled in to their drive way he came and helped her out of the car.
"You're going right up stairs to bed." He told her as the entered the house.
"Excuse me? Since when do you tell me what to do Mr.?" She laughed.
"Since right now please?" Randy said with a smile.
"Well since you said please and I am tired anyway you win this round Orton."
Kate went up stairs and changed her clothes then laid down and fell asleep. Randy woke her up when he brought in her dinner.
"You cooked for me?" Kate said with a smile.
"No I ordered take out."
"Even better. But you know we do have a dinning room we can eat in."
"I know but this is more fun." Randy said. "Now are you going to be ok here when I'm gone?"
"Yes Randy for the millionth time today. We are fine. The doctor told me to avoid stress so that is what I am going to do. I am going to work and tomorrow night I am going to watch my amazing husband kick some Christian ass and keep his title."
"You think I am going to win tomorrow night?" Randy said with a smirk.
"You better Mr. or I will divorce your ass." Kate said.
"Oh you are so funny."
"Do you love me?"
"Of course I love you Kate. You are my world."
"Do you want to watch a movie?"
"Of course I do, but not "Dirty Dancing" Please or "Footloose"" Randy told her.
"alright fine. I guess you can pick the movie."
"Really?" Randy said hopeful.
"Yeah why not I am feeling nice tonight and you did work really hard and ordered dinner." Kate laughed "How about "The Marine 2" Kate smiled.
"Umm No! We are not watching DiBiase " Randy smiled.
"Oh so you want to watch what The Marine , I know 12 rounds?"
"You are so funny." Randy laughed and then kissed her.
They finally chose to watch "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"
The next morning Randy flew to Washington DC for Capital Punishment. He called Kate when he landed and then again before the show started.
"Randy good luck tonight."
"Thanks babe. Are you still feeling alright?"
"Randy I am fine. Just like I have been the last 100 times you've asked."
"I love you Kate."
" I love you too Randy."
Kate watched the pay per view. She watched the match between Randy and Christian. It was a good match at one point it did look like it was anyone's match. But Randy defeated him and was still the World Heavy Weight Champion.
A few days later: Kate was reading in the living room she spent a little time with her mother in law this morning she brought over breakfast and they of course talked about the baby. But Kate was bord out of her mind she couldn't wait for Randy to come home tonight. Kate was interrupted in thought by a knock on the door.
Kate answered in as she saw who was at the door she slammed the door in their face, but the door bell range again. She opened it again.
"What do you want Kelly?" Kate snapped.
"I came to talk to my best friend." She said.
"You drove 4 hours to talk to me why?"
"Because Lane told me too."
"So you're here only because Lane told you to come nice Kelly."
"What the hell is your problem? I am trying here?" Kelly said. "Are you going to invite me in?"
"Fine come in." Kate said as they walked into the living room as sat down.
"I am sorry Kate for everything." Kelly finally said after a few minutes of silence.
"Sorry I worked my ass off for your bridal shower Kelly and you showed up drunk. What the hell is your problem lately? This messed up version of yourself I don't know that person and I don't want to know that person."
"I know. Lane told me the same thing. He told me that he wouldn't marry me if I continued down this road." Kelly said as she began to cry.
"Can you blame him Kelly? I mean really? You were a drunken mess the other night. I hate seeing you like that. I'm sorry but if that's the person you chose to be then we can't be friends anymore." Kate said.
"Kate your my only friend , you would really abandon me? Is that really what you want or are you doing what Randy is telling you to do?"
"Kelly don't you dare bring Randy into this. I am making my own choices. I am about to me a mom and I have to protect me daughter and if you want to act like that well then I just don't have time for you. I am sorry but I am just being honest. You say that I am your only friend well what about Robin? You two seem very chummy lately."
"Robin's ok but she's not my best friend. Kate you are. We have been friends since middle school and you've seen me at my worst and never judged me for it and got me out of a lot of crap and I know that. I am sorry for everything I really am. I know I can't get married with out you by my side. So please say that you will still be my Maid of Honor. Please? I can't do it with out you and I wouldn't want to." Kelly said wiping her tears.
"Kelly I love you like a sister and I would love to be in your wedding but you need to promise me that you will not go back to that drunken person again. I can't deal with that and honestly Lane shouldn't deal with it either."
"I know and I wont I promise. How are you feeling? I am sorry again , how is the baby?" Kelly finally asked.
"The baby is fine she is healthy it was just early contractions caused by stress."
"Again I am so sorry Kate I have never ever ment to hurt you or your daughter please know that."
"I know. Kelly. I know."
Kate and Kelly hung out all afternoon and had dinner before she headed back to Chicago. That night Kate was sleeping when Randy came home he softly kissed her cheek as he crawled into bed and pulled his wife close to him.
