Chapter 44 The Princess has Arrived.
August: Over the last few weeks Kate and Randy spent a lot of time together mostly at home. They finished up all the last-minute details for they needed to do before their little girl was going to arrive.
After dinner Randy was playing his x box while Kate was cleaning the kitchen. She had felt tired and run down most of the day. She walked into his man cave and sat next to him.
"Hey there." Randy said with a smile.
"Hey. I think I am gonna head to bed." She told him.
"Are you sure? It's only like 7 pm?" He questioned.
"I know but I am hoping I can get comfortable before you come to bed. I know I've been keeping you up at night."
"It's fine. I noticed you didn't sleep very well last night."
Kate just nodded as she placed her head on Randy's shoulder.
"But just think soon our little princess with be here and you still wont be able to sleep" He said with a laugh as he kissed her softly.
"Ha Ha! You are just so funny! Randy Orton. I love you so much you know that?"
"I love you too Kate Orton and I love you to Gracie Orton." Randy said as he kissed her belly softly.
Kate laid there cuddled with Randy for the next hour before finally kissing him once again and heading up stairs to bed. Randy soon followed around 11 pm.
"She finally looks peaceful" Randy thought to himself as he crawled into bed.
2 am August 3rd: Kate woke up to a contraction. As she sat on the edge of the bed she began to time her contractions they were pretty far apart so she just let Randy sleep. He looked so peacefully and comfortable. "I could stare at my husband all night." Kate thought to herself. She stood up and walked into the bathroom when she felt a sense of pressure and her water broke! She slowly changed her clothes and then sat on the edge of the bed once again as another contraction started this one a little stronger. She began to wake Randy.
"Randy." She said. No answer. "Randy!" She said a little louder. "Randy, Honey. Ahmmm."
Randy who was still half asleep. "Yeah babe?" He finally spoke.
"Randy I'm in labor. It's time." Kate said.
"OK it's time." He repeated, but he didn't get up for a few seconds. Then he shot up in bed. "What? Did you just say it's time? Really time?"
Kate smiled "Yes my contractions are getting closer together and my water broke. We're having a baby."
Randy got up and tossed on shirt and a pair of work out pants "Let's have a baby." He said with a smile. He then called the her doctor who told them to come in to the hospital. Randy grabbed her bad and helped her down the stairs.
"We're really going to do this?" Kate asked.
"We're really gonna do this. Soon our little princess will be here." Randy said with a smile and he kissed her lips softly.
They were 1/2 way to the car when Kate stopped and placed her hands on her stomach.
" Ahhoo heee."
"Contraction?" Randy asked.
Kate didn't say anything she just looked at him.
"Alright I get that was a stupid question." Randy said.
They arrived at the hospital and checked in.
A few hours later Kate was sitting in bed, Randy had called some family and a few friends to let them know the good news. Randy's parents along with Kate's were not in the waiting room, they did stop in and see Kate for a little bit.
It was now about 3 pm Kate was now 10 cm fully effaced and dilated and ready to push. The nurse paged Dr. Weston who came in with a smile.
"Are you ready for this Kate?" Dr. Weston asked.
"Ready as I will ever be." Kate told her.
Randy was by her side the whole time. For someone's who is known as a Viper in this moment he was anything but he was a loving supportive husband as he coached his wife.
Randy held on to Kate's hand as she began to push. He watched his wife in amazement and helped when he could, Kate was breathing threw the contractions as she began to push softly and slowly!
" Your doing great... Kate... keep it up." Dr. Weston encouraged.
Kate continued push a little harder each time with a few moans and grunts then took a break to catch her breath!
"Great Job Kate." Dr. Weston said once again.
As Kate's pain increased her moans and grunts got just a little louder but she was managing threw it!
"Your doing great Kate.. keep pushing" Dr. Weston told her.
"Awww... hmmmm... I can't ... I don't think that I can do this?" Kate said with tears in her eyes. "I can't!"
" Your almost there Kate just a few more pushes. I know it's hard but your so close just a few more pushes!" Dr. Weston said.
Randy could tell Kate was tired but he also knew she was strong and she could do this! Randy kissed Kate's forehead.
"Listen to me Kit Kat." Randy said to his very tired wife as she looked over at him. "You are a strong woman I know you can do this alright? Let's meet our daughter." Randy told her the kissed her lips softly.
Kate was still crying as she repeated Randy's words "Let's meet our daughter."
Kate began to push again for a few more minutes.
"Keep pushing Kate you're almost there." Dr. Weston told her.
"PROMISE?" Kate screamed at the Doctor.
"Yes I can see her just a little bit more."
"You're doing amazing Beautiful." Randy told her as Kate squeezed his hand even harder this time. Kate gave one more hard push with a little louder grunt and then she leaned back and felt relief. Randy looked down and there she was his beautiful little girl.
"Here she is. Welcome to the world little lady." Dr. Weston said as she held her up for Kate and Randy to see.
With tears in his eyes Randy cut the cord. Dr. Highland took baby girl Orton over to get cleaned off.
Randy kissed his wife. "You did so good baby , so good she's here and she's perfect!" Randy told her.
They handed the baby to Kate who was now crying tears of joy as she held her daughter for the first time.
"She's beautiful" Kate said.
"Just like her mom." Randy said as he as Kate made eye contact and kissed each other softly.
Later that evening Kate and Randy saw many family and a few friends come in to see the baby. Randy was a proud dad and held his daughter with confidence.

A few days later they got to take their little princess home.
Kate was in the nursery rocking Gracie to sleep.
"She's here. She's really here." Kate said.
"Yeah she is. Thank you for giving me the greatest gift I could have ever wanted." He told her as he handed her a little box.
"What's this?" Kate questioned as Randy took the baby from Kate.
"It's nothing really but I wanted to show you how much you and my daughter mean to me."
"What is it?" Kate asked again.
"It's a pony? Just open it silly." He said with a smile.
Kate opened the box as tears began to fill her eyes.
"Randal Keith Orton this is amazing and I love you so much." She said.
"I love you too."
It was necklace with the August burst stone attacked to the Gracie.
Kate stood up and kissed Randy.
She had once again fallen in love with all over again.
4 weeks Later: Over the past several weeks Kate and Randy stayed in a their little love bubble of happiness. They took phones calls and visitors but they mostly stayed home and bonded with their little princess. Randy was an amazing dad and he and Kate were closer than ever. However all good things must come to an end and today. He would only be on Raw and Smackdown this week but he was heading back full-time.
Randy was packing and Kate was feeding Gracie on their bed watching him.
"Stephanie called me today to check in on me and Gracie." Kate told him.
"Yeah? I talked to Paul today too."
"She wanted to know when I will be coming back to work."
"What did you tell her?" He asked.
" I told her I didn't know. We really haven't talked about it much." Kate was now burping Gracie.
"What do you think? When do you want to head back?" Randy wondered.
"I think that I don't want to miss any of this. I know your parents said that they could watch her while we're on the road but we are gone so much that it's just not fair to them or her."
"What are you saying Kate?"
"I think for now I just want to stay home and be with Gracie. We can always take her on the road with us when she gets bigger." Kate told him.
"I don't know if I really want to raise our daughter on the road but I guess we will cross that bridge when we get to it. Can I be honest?" He asked.
"Aren't you always?" Kate smirked.
"I am gonna miss you on the road with me but I am glad that we've decided that you will be at home with our princess. It will make me sleep better at night knowing that my girls are home together and I've already upgraded the security system so I know you will be safe. I just hate leaving you." Randy stated.
"Well this week it's just Raw and Smackdown. The Vipers' making a come back. You will be home in a few short days."
Randy took Gracie from Kate and was holding her.
"Now you don't go doing anything cute while I'm gone." He said looking down at his daughter.
He didn't know it was possible to fall in love with two amazing girls. He was so blessed to have them in his life.
