Chapter 9: Telling the Family

Randy's POV

"It was nice for Stephanie and Hunter to give us a few days off so that we could tell our families the big news," I hear my mate say with a smirk as I drive us into the St. Louis city limits, the sun setting right behind the city skyline as we continued to travel along the road. "It's nice to be in our hometown again, even if it is for a good three days . . . and the best part is . . . it's a weekend."

"Yep . . . and then we have to jet off to England for the Revenge Tour," I say with a smirk as I continued to look out onto the road ahead of me. "But first we have to deal with the Raw before the tour first . . . Babe, do you think you can handle being in the air for so long with that bad case of morning sickness you have?"

"Hmm . . . I'll manage," she tells me with a shrug as I turn off at an exit. "Besides, I can always throw up on you if I need to."

"That's disgusting babe," I tell her with a playful pout as I shake my head. "I'm not your personal barf bag. . . If you actually do plan to throw up on me while on the flight, then I'm going to ask for a seat away from you. I'm warning you now."

"Mean, but fair enough . . ." she tells me with a chuckle as I turn onto a familiar main street. "We're going to your parents' place first?"

"Yeah . . . their place is closer, so I figured why not?" I tell her with a shrug as I looked out at all the shops that lined the street. "I hope they're home . . ."

"Oh . . . they're home alright," 'Manda tells me with a smirk as she brought a hand to her temple. "My parents, Sam, Alanna, and Josh, are all there too, so thankfully we won't really have to travel far to deliver our good news."

"Well that's good to hear . . ." I say with a smirk as I turn onto the street which my parents' house was on. "We're basically killing two birds with one stone here . . ."

"If you say so . . ." she tells me with a smirk as I see my parents' house up on the next block. "There it is."

"Yeah, and it looks like our arrival hasn't gone unnoticed." says 'Manda as we drive up to the house to see Alanna and Sam looking at us from their spot on the porch.

"Aw . . . they sent a welcoming party out for us," I say with a chuckle as I pull up along the curb in front of the house. "Well then . . . let's not keep them waiting."

I cut the ignition and take off my seatbelt before I open the door and step out on to the road, but by the time I step foot onto the sidewalk, Alanna was already latching herself onto my legs in a strong hug, practically holding me in place. . . . Wow my daughter loves to hug my legs.

"Well that didn't take too long . . ." I hear Amanda say as I look down at the smiling child. "How have you been doing Alanna?"

"Good!" she tells 'Manda with a cheeky smile as she turns to her. "Welcome back 'Manda! Welcome back Daddy!"

"Hi my little lady," I tell her with a grin as I pick her up in my arms. "You haven't been giving your mother too much trouble while I've been away now have ya?"

"Oh don't worry Randy," I hear my ex say with a smirk as she walks over to us. "Alanna's been a good girl while you've been out on the road."

"Yeah . . . only because you've always been spoiling her." I say with a smirk as Alanna leans her head onto my shoulder.

"I haven't always been spoiling her . . ." says Sam as an unsure look comes across her face.

"Yeah . . . that look on your face tells me otherwise," I say with a chuckle. "C'mon let's go inside to see the others."

"Sam, you got to admit. . . You do have a tendency to spoil Alanna. You sometimes go overboard when you do it . . ." Amanda says with a sheepish look on her face as we walk along the walkway and up to the porch.

"No I don't . . . do I?" she asks uncertainly as we reach the door. "Do I really spoil Alanna that much?"

"I don't mind it . . ." says Alanna as she looks at her mom with a smile.

"Of course you don't . . ." I say with a chuckle as the door opens up to reveal my mother right behind it. ". . . It's because you like being spoiled by your mom right?"

"Randy, Amanda, what a surprise?" my mom tells us with a big smile as she greets us all with hugs. "I didn't expect you two to be back in town this early. . . Is Monica with you two?"

"Nope; it's just us this time around . . ." Amanda tells her with a smirk as we walk into the foyer. "We came back for the weekend because we had some news to share with the rest of you."

"Did my son get himself suspended again?" my mom asks her bluntly as a serious look came across her face, one the one that usually warned of groundings and other punishments when I would get myself into trouble when I was younger.

"Mom . . . I didn't get myself suspended again . . . We're here to share good news this time around. I swear." I tell her with a sheepish smirk on my face as I put Alanna back down on the ground.

"Really?" she asks me with an eyebrow raised as she crosses her arms, her serious look still on her face as she stared me down. "Really son? I know you're telling the truth. I just want to hear you say it out of your mouth to make it certain."

"Yea . . . I promise I'm not lying. What 'Manda and I have to share with the rest of you guys is something that you, dad, and 'Manda's parents will be thrilled about once we tell you. You have my word." I say with a smile as I give her a kiss on the cheek.

"Fine . . ." she tells me in defeat as she unfolds her arms. "Come on in to the kitchen you two. We were just having dinner when you showed up."

"What did you make Elaine?" Amanda asks her curiously as we follow her down the hallway, the scent of pork easily hitting our noses.

"Pork chops . . ." she tells us with a smile as she looks over her shoulder. "Unfortunately, I had no idea that you were coming today, so I didn't make enough for you guys. Sorry."

"That's alright Mom. We ate on the road anyway." I tell her with a shrug as we walk into the kitchen to see Josh, Dad, and Amanda's parents sitting around the large table still chowing down on their food.

"Hi Mom! Hi Dad!" Amanda says with a small smile as she walked over to the table.

"Aw . . . It's good to see you again Amanda." says Calypso as she gives her daughter a hug before turning to me. "Randy, how have you been doing?"

"I've been doing great." I tell her with a smile as I give her a hug in greeting.

"Hey Randy, where's my other daughter?" asks Akbar as I give him a friendly handshake. "Whenever you guys are back in town, she's usually not that far behind you two."

"She's still traveling with the roster. We came back here ourselves to deliver some news, that's all . . ." answers Amanda as she gives my dad a hug.

"You didn't get suspended again now did ya?" my dad asks me as he gives me the same serious look mom gave me earlier. "Suspensions aren't good for you mister."

"That was the same question mom asked me earlier and so I'll give you the same answer I gave her, dad," I tell him as I let out a small breath. "No, I didn't come back to tell you that I got suspended from work. Amanda and I are here came here today to share some good news with the rest of you."

"What's your good news daddy?" asks Alanna as she walks back to her seat next to Josh.

"Well Alanna . . . how can I say it . . ." I tell her with a smirk as I brought a hand to my neck. "How about I ask you this question first? How do you feel about having another sibling?"

Normal POV

"Another sibling?" asked the seven year old as she looked at her father curiously. The adults, on the other hand, looked at the snake couple expectantly as soon as Randy's question left his mouth.

"Yep . . . another sibling . . ." said Randy as he wrapped an arm around Amanda's waist. "How would you feel about becoming an older sister?"

"Oh my goodness . . ." said Elaine as she began to put the pieces together. She then reached over to Calypso, who was sitting right next to her, and grasped her hand as if it was a lifeline. "Calpyso, are you thinking what I'm thinking right now?"

"Possibly . . ." said the dreadlocks wearing woman as she looked at her daughter with shock in her eyes. "Amanda honey, are you . . . carrying a baby in your belly right now?"

"Yes . . ." said the Anaconda as a big smile came across her face. "Yes, I am pregnant Mom, which means you and Dad are going to be first time grandparents in eight months."

"I'm going to be a grandfather . . . I'm actually going to be a grandfather," whispered Akbar as he looked at his daughter in utter shock.

"Join the club . . ." said Bob with a big grin on his face as he held out an invisible card to his friend. "I have your membership right here."

"Oh quit with that you . . ." said Akbar as he slapped Bob's hand away, sending Bob into a mini chuckle fit. "I don't need your jokes right now."

"So I'm finally going to be a grandmother . . ." said Calypso as she thought the idea over. "To be honest, between you and your siblings 'Manda, I thought Monica would be the one to give your father and I our first grandchild."

"To be honest, I was thinking the exact same way . . ." said Amanda with a sheepish look on her face as Randy kissed the side of her head.

"I'm . . . I'm going to have a sibling?" asked Alanna as her eyes slowly widened as she processed the news.

"Yes Alanna honey, you're going to be a big sister . . ." said Sam with a smile as she patted her on the shoulder.

"In eight months, you're going to have a little brother or a little sister." added Josh as he went back to eating his food.

"I won't be an only child anymore . . . This is great!" said Alanna as a big smile came across her face. ". . . Now Mommy won't have to spoil me so much that Daddy would have to complain about it."

"I thought you like being spoiled by me." said Sam as she looked at her daughter in slight shock.

"It gets stale sometimes . . ." said Alanna with a small shrug, making Randy let out a small laugh in the process.

"Well then, it's decided . . ." said Sam with a small shrug as she leaned back into her seat. "I won't spoil you that much anymore."

"Yeah . . . let's see how long that will last," muttered Josh as he let out a small whistle, which only resulted in him getting a slap from Sam to the back of his head. "OW!"

"Randy . . . do your siblings know that you and Amanda are expecting a child yet?" asked Elaine as she took her empty plate over to the sink.

"Nope . . . we haven't got around to telling them yet." said Randy as he took out his cell phone. "I should probably do it now."

"Mom . . . is Mason still in town?" asked Amanda as she turned back to her parents.

"Nope . . . he just left town to work on a case over in Kansas City. He's going to be gone for a few days at least." answered Calypso as she walked over to the sink with both hers and Akbar's plates.

"Well . . . looks like I'm going to have to tell him the good news over the phone as well." said Amanda as she took out her phone.

"Hey Randy . . . what do you think the gender of the child is going to be this time around?" asked Josh as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"Boy" Randy answered him bluntly as he began looking through his contacts list.

"Oh really?" asked Amanda as she turned to her mate with an eyebrow raised. "You're hoping that the baby growing in my belly will be a boy."

"Well yeah . . ." said Randy as he looked at her with a smirk. "You know, just to even things out a bit."

"I see where this is going . . ." said Calypso with a smirk as she crossed her arms. "You're not really into the idea of guys being outnumbered by girls in the family huh?"

"What?" asked Randy as he looked at Amanda's mom in slight shock. "It's not that . . . honest."

"Don't worry . . . I've been where you are Randy," said Akbar as a thoughtful look on his face. "I grew up the youngest out of six kids, and all my siblings are girls. Plus, I had more aunts than uncles . . . yeah; the female gene is very prevalent in my side of the family."

"And considering the fact that you're the youngest between you and your five sisters, it's safe to say that you were the victim of many dressup occasions that involved tea parties and dolls huh?" asked Bob as he and Josh threatened to go into a chuckle fit.

"You just had to go there huh Bob . . ." asked Akbar as he narrowed his eyes at his friend. "You seriously had to go there."

"Sorry . . . it was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up." said Bob as he and Josh broke down into a fit of laughter. "But I do feel sorry for ya . . . suffering through all those years of girly torture, sheesh."

"What do you hope the baby's gender will be?" asked Sam as she turned to Amanda. "Boy or girl 'Manda?"

"Oh . . . pfft, definitely a girl," said the Anaconda as a small smirk came across her face. "I am so hoping it's a girl . . . I won't mind it all if the child ends up being a boy in the end, but I really hope it's will be a girl."

"I guess we'll see what the baby will be when you have to do a sonogram in a few months . . ." said Randy with a shrug as he looked at his mate. "But I'm still hoping for a boy."

"Guys . . . when do your bosses want you back at work?" asked Sam as she raised an eyebrow at the snake couple.

"Monday," answered Randy as he took a seat at the table. "Our bosses don't need us for the show tapings on Tuesday, so we're going to be jetting off on a flight to Glasgow that night for the Revenge Tour over in Europe."

"Did you buy your tickets to Glasgow yet?" asked Sam as she continued to probe her ex for answers.

"Not yet . . . we were planning to do that this weekend. Why do you ask?" asked Amanda as she turned to Sam. "Is something on your mind Sam?"

"I was just thinking that maybe it would be a good idea for you to skip the Revenge Tour this year 'Manda . . ." said Sam as she reluctantly answered the Anaconda's question. "Morning sickness is a killer on female vampires during the early stages of pregnancy, especially if you go flying on any kind of aircraft."

"Do you have another reason for why you want Amanda to stay back here in the U.S. and skip the Revenge Tour?" Randy asked his ex as he shot her a curious look. "I can sense that your holding something back Sam."

"The European Tour you do every year only lasts for a week and half, with Raw and SmackDown filmed in London right?" asked Sam as she looked at the two. "Since Amanda can't actively wrestle while pregnant, I figured she could use the next week and a half to learn from me and Elaine all she needs to know in the ways of vampire pregnancy."

"Well . . . with the long travel schedule throughout the year, it doesn't really leave me that much time to learn the ways of vampire parenting huh," said Amanda as a thoughtful look came across her face. "Missing the Revenge Tour could really give me some time to learn the ropes on the whole concept."

"Plus your pregnancy would give you a nice reason to stay back in St. Louis during that time. You know . . . to really catch up on the things you missed back here." said Calypso as she rested her head on her husband's shoulder.

"Hmm . . . Evolution can live without its valet for the next two weeks can it?" asked Amanda with a smirk as she turned to her mate. "I'm . . . I'm actually into the idea Randy."

". . . And I'm 100% with you all the way . . ." said Randy with a small smile as he looked her in the eye. ". . . With Sam and my mom here teaching you the ropes, you'll definitely be in capable hands."

"Now the question is this son," said Bob as he out on his cowboy hat. "Can you two handle being separated for that long? Two weeks is a long time you know."

"Bob . . . let them worry about that when the time comes," said Elaine as she slapped him on his shoulder. She then turned her attention back onto the snake couple. "Now then . . . don't you two have some calls to make?"

"That we do . . ." said Randy as he walked over to the exit. "Coming 'Manda?"

"Right behind ya . . ." said Amanda as she followed him out the room, ready to call up their siblings to tell them the good news.

Amanda's POV; a few hours later

"I see someone's ready for bed . . ." I say with a chuckle as I walk out of my bathroom to see Randy taking off his shirt as he sat along his side of the bed we shared. "Sleepy Mr. Viper?"

"Not as long as you're here . . ." he tells me with a smirk as I walk over to him. "Is that one of my shirts you're wearing?"

"Why yes it is. . ." I say with a smirk as I looked down at I was wearing. I was wearing just a pair of black shorts and Randy's favorite Rams jersey, which actually had his own last name on it and was given to him by one of the current players on the team a year ago. "I hope you don't mind."

"I don't mind it at all . . .' he tells me with a smirk as I stand right in front of him. "I actually like the idea of you wearing stuff that has my name on it. It shows people that you are mine, and no one else's."

"You are so possessive . . ." I say sarcastically as I let Randy pull me onto his lap so that I was straddling his waist.

"Only when it comes to you babe, only when it comes to you . . ." he tells me with a smile as I wrapped my legs around his waist. "Babe . . . you sitting like this is giving me some pretty naughty ideas right now . . ."

"Calm your horny ass down will ya?" I say with a smirk as I begin to untangle myself from his body, but Randy wraps his arms around my waist before I could move any further. "You really have an active sex drive huh?"

"Only when the time calls for it . . ." he tells me with a chuckle as I feel his fingers along the hem of my shirt. "I really do like this shirt, so I'm not going to rip it off your body."

"Oh . . . so you're just going to gently take it off of me?" I say with a smirk as I grabbed his wrists, holding his hands in place before they have a chance to reach under my shirt. "Really . . ."

"Babe . . . Don't try to play hard to get," he tells me with a smirk as he lays down on the bed. "You know you want it as much as I do?"

"Want what?" I asked innocently as I traced a finger along his hard abs. "What do you really think I want just as much as you do?"

"Isn't it obvious?" he asks me with a smirk as he points to his crotch. "You're actually sitting on it to tell you the truth."

"Oh yeah . . . this," I say with a small smirk as I began to grind my lower half against his. He lets out a low moan as he let his head roll back, the friction I was making between us making his manhood begin to grow. "How does it feel baby?"

"Damn it feels so fucking good . . ." he whispers to me, his eyes completely closed as he continues to enjoy our little foreplay.

"No more bad language from you mister," I say with a small scowl on my face as I stop my grinding. "I don't want to hear you speak that bad language when the baby's around you hear me?"

"Yes ma'am . . ." he tells me with a nod of his head as he sits back up. "Now . . . can you please go back to that amazing grinding you were doing a few seconds ago? I was just really getting into it."

"Yeah . . . no; I'm tired . . ." I say with a smirk as I unwound myself from his body. "I'm going to bed now."

"Babe . . . you can't leave me unsatisfied like that!" I hear him say in utter shock as I prep my side of the bed.

"I can, and I just did," I say with a smirk as I crawled under the sheets and snuggled into my pillow, turning off the lights with my mind as I did. "Good night babe . . ."

"You are so mean . . ." I hear him whisper in my ear as I feel his body right next to mine under the sheets. "Did you hear that son? Your mom's being mean to your dad here."

"Are you already talking to our unborn child while he's still in my womb?" I ask in mild surprise as I turn to him. "And who told you to address the kid as a guy when we have no idea if the gender is going to be a guy or a girl?"

"Hey . . . in my opinion, I think the baby is going to be a boy. I'm just saying that now," he tells me with a shrug as I feel his arms wrap around my waist. "And besides, I can't talk to my unborn child? Is it that bad to talk to someone that's not even around yet?"

"It's not bad . . . it's just weird." I tell him with a shrug.

"Babe, don't knock it till you try it," he tells me with a kiss to the cheek. "Trust me, you'll end up doing the same thing once your baby bump really starts showing."

"We'll see . . ." I say with a smirk as I brought a hand to my face to stifle a yawn. "Good night Randy."

"Good night Sexual Needs Neglector . . ." I hear Randy say with a smirk as his chin rests upon my shoulder.

"Oh really?" I ask with a small scowl, before hitting him hard in his balls with my elbow. "Am I a Sexual Needs Neglector now?"

"No . . . you're a Manhood Basher now," he tells me as he winces in pain before jumping out of bed to head straight for the bathroom. "I got to go!"

"Need to check on the status of your bruised manhood now huh?" I ask with a smirk as Randy reaches the door.

"That, and the fact that I really have to pee." he tells me squeamishly as runs into the bathroom and closes the door behind him. . . .Sometimes, I really like torturing that poor man.
