Chapter 8: Baby on Board
Normal POV
"So . . . how did the test go?" asked Randy, expectancy apparent in his eyes as he watched as his mate walked into the room after undergoing her pregnancy test with Dr. Amann. "Did everything go okay? Should I be worried about something?"
"It was fine . . . It was practically painless, so don't you worry your pretty little head," said Amanda as she walked over to stand right next to the chair he was sitting in. "He says that he should have the results ready for us in five minutes, so we're in for a little wait babe."
"Five minutes huh?" asked Randy as he raised an eyebrow. "I see . . . We're only five minutes away from finding out if Alanna would be getting a sibling or not."
"Yeah . . . but it's all so sudden you know," muttered Amanda as a look of disbelief came over her face. "We've only stared having sex just a little over a month ago and now here we are waiting to see if I'm carrying a baby or not."
"You know what they say babe . . ." said Randy with a smirk. "You can become a parent in just one night of fun in the sack."
"Are you thinking back to our first time mister?" asked Amanda with a blunt look on her face as she stared the Viper down.
"It was a memorable night babe . . ." said Randy with a chuckle as he looked up at her. "You can't blame me for thinking back to that night . . ."
"I guess I can't really . . . it was a fun night after all," said Amanda as she looked down at her stomach. ". . . I could actually be having a little person growing inside of me right now . . ."
"Why do you sound so worried?" asked Randy as he looked at her unsurely.
"Because I'm about to find out if I'm carrying my first child or not . . ." Amanda answered him instantly, her voice going an octave higher as she spoke. "And to top it all off . . . If I am pregnant, then that would mean I would be carrying a vampire baby. A vampire baby. . . How in the world do you prepare for that kind of responsibility?"
"I see . . ." said Randy as he stood back up and turned to face her, grabbing both of her hands in his as he did. "Look babe . . . I know this is all new to you, but trust me . . . everything is going to be okay. You shouldn't be worry about this."
"Are you sure?" asked Amanda, her uncertainty evident in her voice as she again looked down at her stomach. "Having your very first child is something to worry about if you ask me."
"I'm very sure . . .," said Randy as he pecked her forehead. "And besides, if you are pregnant, then you have a whole bunch of people to call on if you need help with the child . . . friends, family, even me."
"You?" asked Amanda with a smirk as she raised an eyebrow.
"Well of course me. I am the father after all . . ." said Randy as he pulled her into his arms. "Plus, I do have a child from another marriage. So technically, I do have more experience than you in the child caring department, thank you very much."
"Oh really . . . says the guy that wasn't around during the first few months of his ex-wife's pregnancy . . ." said Amanda with a chuckle as she placed a hand on her hip. "Who's also clueless on what the pregnancy symptoms for female vampires may entail."
"Okay . . . so you got me there on that one," said Randy as he rolled his head back for a minute. "But don't you worry; I promise you that I will always be here for you and our unborn child throughout this pregnancy. You have my word."
"Well . . . that's good to know," said Amanda with a smirk as she heard footsteps coming from the other room. "If I am pregnant after all . . . There is the possibility that I'm not and just suffering from some incurable disease."
"And if you're not pregnant and you're just suffering from some incurable disease that's new to our kind, then I'll still be with you no matter what . . ." said Randy as he kissed her forehead again.
"Oh that's so sweet of you to say . . ." said Amanda with a smile as she pat his cheek.
". . . As long as you're not contagious." finished Randy as a smirk came across his face, which earned him a small slap to the same cheek in the process. "If you are contagious . . . well sorry, I will have you quarantined until I figure something out."
"You are unbelievable . . ." said Amanda as she shook her head in disapproval at him just as Dr. Amann walked back into the room.
"Nah . . . I just know when to get in a good sarcastic pun," said Randy with a shrug as he turned to the good doctor. "So Doc, what's the verdict? Is my baby here pregnant or not?"
"Well for starters . . . Amanda isn't infected with a contagious incurable disease that's new to the vampire race, so you don't have to worry about quarantining her Randy . . ." said Doctor Amann as he took a seat on his bed.
"Well thank the heavens for that . . ." said Amanda as she slapped Randy's chest playfully. "But am I . . . you know . . ."
"Pregnant?" asked Dr. Amann as he weaved his fingers. "Well . . . after examining the results of your test Amanda, it is definitely safe to say that you two can expect a little one running around in another eight months. Congratulations."
Amanda's POV
"Oh . . . my . . . . God . . ."
My inner me sums up what I am thinking in my head in one simple phrase as I digest the news Randy and I were just given. The pain in my gut only helps to annunciate the doctor's news even more as I brought a hand to my stomach . . .
My stomach . . . which will be carrying a growing living being until it is delivered in eight months.
"She's actually pregnant?" Randy asks the doctor again, a big ol' grin forming along is face as he wrapped an arm around my waist.
"Yep . . . I checked the results three times to see if there were any mistakes," says Dr. Amann as he shook his head. "I can tell you with a 100% guarantee that your mate here is pregnant and carrying your child Randy."
"Wow . . ." Randy says as he lets out a loud breath as he sneaks me a quick look before turning back to the doctor. "Thanks Doc, for doing this for us."
"No problem . . . Its' part of the job after all," he tells us with a shrug. "Some of the producers are coming up here to meet with me in a half hour, so . . ."
"Oh . . . no problem, we were just about to leave anyway," says Randy as he point his thumb to the door. "Let's go babe . . . "
"Oh sure . . ." I say quickly as I keep my hand on my stomach. "Thanks again Doc."
"No problem you two . . . Have a good day now!" calls Doc Amann as we reach the door.
"Babe . . . Are you okay?" Randy asks me with a smirk on his face as we step into the hallway after exiting the suite.
"Yeah . . . I'm fine," I tell him as I let a small smile start to form on my face. "I'm just letting the fact that I'm actually pregnant with my first child sink in."
"Are you excited?" Randy asks me as he childishly pokes me in the arm.
"Quit with that will ya?" I mumble with a playful scowl as I swatted his hand away. "I'm already feeling bad with the morning sickness as it is. I don't need you to add on to my troubles by bugging me with your childish poking."
"Okay . . . I'm sorry," he tells me with a small pout as we walk over to the elevators. "I shouldn't be annoying the mother of my second child. You may put me in a chokehold if I'm not careful."
"Thank you . . ." I tell him with a nod of my head as I press the button for the elevators. "Now that I think about it, I can't really go back into the ring while I have a baby on board. That would be too risky."
"I know . . ." Randy tells me with a small sigh as the elevator doors to our left open up. "You could probably still serve as Evolution's valet until your baby bump really starts showing, but after that, well . . . you're staying backstage, no ifs, ands or buts about it. You hear me?"
"Aw . . . you're acting overly protective again . . ." I say with a small pout as I pressed the button for our floor.
"Hey! Can you blame me?" he asks me with a small smirk as he came up behind me to wrap his arms around my waist. "You're carrying precious cargo babe. That basically gives me the reason to be overly protective with you. I'm just being a good father."
"Just don't go overboard okay?" I ask with a sheepish look on my face as we reach our floor. "You can be protective, but you can't be TOO protective that it's borderline smothering okay?"
"That's fine by me . . ." says Randy as the doors open up to reveal Hunter and Stephanie with their luggage in hand. "Oh . . . hey guys!"
"Randy! 'Manda!" says Stephanie as we stepped out of the elevator. "We were looking for you two. We stopped by your suite, but you weren't there."
"Oh yeah . . . we went to go pay a little visit to Dr. Amann." answers Randy as he let out a small whistle.
"Really?" asks Hunter as he raised an eyebrow. "Why? Out of everyone on the roster, you two should be visiting the Doc the least."
"Yeah well . . . things change when your mate shows pregnancy symptoms Hunter, things change." says Randy with a shake of his head, making the other vampire couple look at us in absolute shock.
"No way . . . pregnancy symptoms?" asks Stephanie as she turns to me. "And the visit to Dr. Amann . . . then that would mean you went to him for a test right?"
"Yep . . . and the test came back positive," I say with a smile as I pat my belly. "I'm pregnant you two."
"OOOFAH!" says Hunter, using one of his signature phrases to show his shock. "Well then . . . Oh shit, you actually let Randy fuck you after all, huh 'Manda? It actually happened! Thank the heavens yes!"
"Seriously Hunter, really?" Randy asks him in shock as he shot him a nasty look while Steph and I fell into a fit of laughter. "Did you really have to go there? Did you REALLY have to go there?"
"What? I couldn't help myself," says Hunter as he let out a small chuckle. "The line was too good of an opportunity to pass up. You know me? I can never turn away from a good pun."
"Well congratulations on the new baby . . ." says Stephanie with a grin as she gave me a small hug. "Wait . . . Have you told anyone else about the pregnancy yet?"
"Not yet . . . we're off to share the news now with the others." I tell her with a smirk as I point down the hallway.
"Well . . . even though this will definitely change up the Evolution storyline a bit, I think we can make it work in the end," says Hunter with a shrug as he and Stephanie step into the elevators. "We'll see you in the next city you two."
"Bye!" I tell them with a wave as the doors closed up.
". . . So babe, who do we tell our big news to first?" Randy asks me with a smirk as he takes my hand in his. "There're so many people to choose from."
"It would take us a while to get through everyone we know individually . . ." I say with a small scowl as I place my free hand on my hip. "How about we just gather everyone in one room and tell them the news there?"
"That's a nice idea, but how exactly do you plan to do that?" he asks me as he crosses his arms over his chest.
"Simple . . ." I tell him with a smirk as I take out my phone. "All I need to do is just call up one simple number."
"One number?" he asks me as I look through my contacts and press the one I want.
"Yep . . ." I say as I hear the sounds of someone picking up from the other end of the line as I bring my phone close to my ear. "Hey sis, are you there?"
"Yeah . . . It's me sis," she tells me with a chuckle as I put her on speakerphone. "What can I do you for big sis?"
"Where are you right now?" I ask, hoping she was somewhere with the others.
"I'm downstairs in the gym with Wade and the others. . . . You should see all the guys. Besides Cody, the guys here are nursing some major hangovers down here," she tells me as she lets out another chuckle from her end. "Now that I think about it, where are you two? You should be down here working out with the rest of us by now."
"Oh . . . we'll be there in a minute," I say with a small smirk. "Just make sure that none of the others leave the room before we get there. Randy and I have some news to share with the rest of you guys."
"Alright . . . I'll make sure no one leaves from my end . . . I'll see you guys in a few." she tells me before ending the call. Randy shakes his head at me as I look up at him, which only makes my smirk grow a little bigger.
"That was so simple . . . Why the hell didn't I think of that?" he asks me with a shake of his head as I press the button for the elevators.
"Probably because you were still thinking about Hunter's comment about you finally fucking me," I say with a smirk as the elevator doors slide open. "Just let it go Randy."
"I can't let that go . . . He messed with my man pride. I have to get him back for that." he tells me with a defiant look on his face as he steps into the cart just before the doors could close.
"You men and your man pride . . ." I say with a shake of my head as I press the button for the lobby, but then the vomiting feeling comes back to me again stronger than ever. ". . . But before I can criticize you any further, I must upchuck once again."
And with that, I run at human speed out of the elevator and down the hallway toward our suite, knowing full well that if I didn't get to the toilet soon, I would have to owe the hotel one new spread of carpet.
Normal POV
"C'mon boys, snap out of it!" said Lita as she looked at the group of men before her. "How many drinks did you guys have while you were out last night anyway?"
"A whole lot . . ." said Sheamus with a grin as he kept a hand on his aching forehead. ". . . And I don't regret my decision to drink a lot, at all."
"Well I do . . ." grumbled John as he slowly shook his head. ". . . Next time I ask you guys 'Should I have another shot of whisky?' when I already had drunk seven shots . . . tell me NO, dammit!"
"It was nice to see you loosen up a bit Johnny Boy," said Edge as he grimaced in pain due to the raging headache that was bothering him. ". . . Even if you had to get drunk to do it."
"You guys are lucky that vampirism has made Cody and Randy unable to get drunk like the rest of you fools," muttered Alicia as she let Kofi lean his head on her shoulder. "If it weren't for them, we could have probably have been watching your drunken asses get arrested after making a ruckus downtown on the early morning news."
"Hmm . . . that would have been fun to watch . . ." muttered Ted as he sat on the ground next to Kelly. "But it probably wouldn't compare to how much trouble we would be in if the higher ups saw that kind of news on TV."
"Hunter, Steph, and especially Vince would have all your heads, and all your paychecks, if that happened," said Monica with a smirk as she took a seat on the empty bench-press. "Cody and Randy would probably get the same wrath, but to a lesser extent."
"Or we could have been in more trouble since they know we CAN'T get drunk." said Cody as he rolled his shoulder. "They would probably pin the blame on the both of us because we couldn't stop you guys from making complete idiots of yourselves in public."
"Alright . . . I have an easy solution for that is it ever happens," said Sheamus as he raised a hand. "You and Randy officially have permission, well at least mine, to knock us out if we ever try to make fools of ourselves in public if we get very intoxicated. How's that?"
"Are you serious Sheamus?" asked John as he turned to the Irish superstar.
"Ha ha . . . Very." answered Sheamus, his face going all serious as he spoke.
"Well that's different . . ." muttered Wade as he crossed his arms. "And speaking of Randy, where is the resident snake couple anyway Monica? They should have been here at least a good hour ago."
"Amanda said they were coming down in a minute . . ." said Monica as she turned to the door. "She also said that they have some big news to share with us once they got down here."
"I wonder what the big news could be . . ." said Lita as a thoughtful look came across her face.
"Maybe you should ask them now, cause look who's coming our way now," said Ted as Amanda and Randy walked through the door. "And hey . . . you guys aren't even dressed to work out anyway."
"Yeah . . . we ran into a little change of plans along the way . . ." said Randy as he scratched the back of his neck, just as Edge sniffed the air a bit.
"Um . . . why do I smell the scent of vomit this early in the morning?" asked the Rated R Superstar as he turned to the snake couple with a peculiar look in his eye. "I didn't smell any vomit before you walked in here."
"Yeah . . . the vomit smell is coming from me, sorry." said Amanda a tad guiltily as she brought a hand to her mouth. "I guess mouthwash doesn't really hide the scent from werewolves after all."
"Sis . . . you vomited this morning?" asked Monica as she looked at her sister with an eyebrow raised. "Why?"
"Well . . . it all started with a whole bunch of pains in my stomach . . . and then the vomiting happened . . ." started Amanda as she began to delve into her story.
". . . And so we went to Dr. Amann to see if he could figure out what was going on with Amanda because vampires usually don't vomit or have abdominal pains." continued Randy as he wrapped an arm around his mate.
"What did the good old Doc say?" asked Kaitlyn as she raised an eyebrow.
"Well . . . it wasn't' some incurable disease that's new to the vampire race, which some people originally thought it was . . ." said Amanda as she shot Randy a narrowed eyed glare, which the Viper conveniently looked away from. "Instead . . ."
"Instead what?" asked Layla as she weaved her fingers together. "What did the Doc say was wrong with you? Don't leave us hanging."
"Well . . . to put it simply, expect a little snake of our own running around by this time next year." said Randy as he let a small smirk come across his face, his sentence instantly confusing the group as soon as he spoke the words, except for Monica, who looked at them wide-eyed.
"Uh . . . come again?" asked John as he looked at his two old friends utterly confused. "What was that sentence of yours' supposed to mean Randy?"
"I guess saying the news cryptically didn't work after all . . ." muttered Amanda as she let a small smirk come across her face. "I'll just cut to the chase to make it simpler for you guys. . . I'm pregnant."
The news shocked the wrestlers into silence, the news shocking Monica the most. It shocked her so much that she instantly fainted to the ground, shocking everyone in the room, especially her werewolf boyfriend.
"Oh crap Monica!" exclaimed Wade as he knelt down at her side. "She actually fainted!"
"I think the shock of finding out that she's going to be an aunt got to her." said John as everyone looked on at the out cold younger twin.
"Her brain waves are fine . . ." said Amanda as she let out a small breath. "She'll come too any minute now."
And just as she said that, Monica sat upright so fast that she almost hit Wade square in the jaw with her forehead, her eyes still wide-eyed from the sudden news her sister and old friend gave her and their group.
"You're pregnant?!" Monica practically shouted as she looked at the snake couple with a big grin on her face.
"Yep . . . and that means you are going to be an aunt in eight months sis," said Amanda as she knelt down beside her. ". . . And are you okay sis, because you fainted right on the spot when I told you I was with child the first time around."
"Yeah I'm fine . . ." she said with a smirk as she waved it off. "I was just really shocked the first time around . . . Oh . . . Sorry Wade. I almost hit you in the jaw with my forehead."
"It's okay . . ." said Wade as he waved it off. "I'm used to it."
"So wait . . . the baby's due in eight months?" asked Lita as she looked on with a grin.
"Yeah . . . Probably by the end of the year or the beginning of next year most likely," said Amanda as she gently patted her belly. "So yeah . . . I won't be actively wrestling for a while."
"Huh . . . then that means the rest of us Divas won't have to suffer from your AKO for at least a good year," said Layla with a relieved breath. "I'm sorry 'Manda, but you seriously know how to kick a person really hard in the head without giving them a concussion, even when you drink that suppressant potion Natalya whipped up for you."
"Eh . . . it's a gift." said Amanda with a small shrug.
"So you've finally decided to give Alanna a sibling after all huh Randy?" asked John with a smirk as he crossed his arms. "What the hell took you so long?"
"Hey? Technically, we didn't actually plan this," said Randy as he put his hands up in self-defense. "But, we'll take it anyway."
"I'm just actually glad to hear you finally got some action for the first time in months," said Edge as he high-fived the Viper. "I was starting to feel bad for you man, but hey! You finally tamed the Anaconda."
Just for that statement, Lita slapped Edge right on the back of his head, aggravating his headache.
"Thank you . . ." said Amanda with a sad smirk as she turned to the redheaded werewolf.
"No problem . . ." said Lita with a smirk as Edge continued to wince in pain from the head slap. "But we have to get on to more pressing matters."
"And what could that be?" asked Randy as he raised an eyebrow.
"Who are you picking as the baby's godparents?" asked Lita as she looked at the two expectantly. Everyone else looked at Randy and Amanda withy the same looks on their faces, making the snake couple looked at them sheepishly in return.
"What have we got ourselves into babe?" Amanda telepathically sent to her mate as she looked at the group wide eyed.
"A whole lot of trouble in the next eight months babe," Randy thought back as he out his hand in his pockets. "A whole lot of trouble . . ."
And so it has begun . . . A little bun in the over for the snake couple.
