December 31, 2008 - 9 am

Christmas is a day filled with happiness and good cheer. It is supposed to be that way anyway. This year, my Christmas was filled with pain and misery. At least on the inside it was. I vowed to be happy for my four year old daughter, Hailee Nicole. I would not ruin her Christmas. I looked over at Hailee. She was sitting with one of her cousins on the couch. They were waiting for their presents. I looked at my brother, who was wearing a Santa hat. I couldn't help but laugh at how dorky he looked.

"It is good to see you laughing. Even if it is at the expense of your brother." My sister-in-law said coming up beside me, holding her baby.

"You can't help but laugh at him. Especially when he is acting like a dork." My eyes wandered back to Hailee. She was smiling and so excited. She was bouncing in her seat. I turned back to my sister-in-law, with tears in my eyes.

"How am I supposed to do this, Steph? How am I supposed to be happy for my daughter when I am completely miserable inside?" Yep, my sister-in-law is none other than the Billion Dollar Princess, Stephanie McMahon.

"I don't know, Ally. But you will find the strength. Paul and I are here for you. Just remember that. We love you." She gave me a hug.

"I know and I love you guys too." I returned her hug.

"Come on, Mommy. We are going to open presents now." Hailee stated, pulling on my hand. I looked down at her and smiled.

"Okay, sweetie. Let's see if you have been a good girl this year." I said, as I picked her up and swung her in the air. She giggled as only a four year old can. I found myself truly smiling. I sat down with Hailee on my lap. Paul passed out the presents. After he had passed them all out, we opened them. I laughed as Hailee started jumping in my lap because of the Barbies that Uncle Paul and Aunt Steph had gotten for her.

"I think that it is time to clean up our mess. What do you think, Hailz?" I said after we had finished unwrapping all the presents. She looked at me.

"Not yet, Mommy. I have a present for you." She got off of my lap. She ran to the tree and grabbed a rolled up paper from in between the branches of the tree. She ran back to me.

"Here, Mommy." She handed me the paper. I unrolled it. I stopped breathing as I looked at the picture. She had drawn a picture of her dad, her, and I.

"Do you like it, Mommy?" She asked. I let our a huge breath and looked at her.

"Of course I like it. Thank you, sweetie." I leaned forward and gave her a kiss on her forehead. She sat on the floor with Aurora and started playing with her Barbies. I looked down at the picture. I felt myself starting to lose it. I got off of the couch and went out to the kitchen. I laid the picture down on the counter, and grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator. Paul came up beside me and looked at Hailee's drawing. I turned around so my back was now leaning back against the counter.

"How can I be so in love with someone and hate him with everything that is in me, at the same time?" I looked over at him.

"Because he is the love of your life and he betrayed you."

"Why did he have to do it? We had the perfect life. Is this my fault? Was I not good enough for him?"

"Don't Ally. Don't blame yourself for this. It is in no way your fault. I don't know why he did it. For that answer, you are going to have to ask him?" Paul replied.

"Never! I don't want to ask him anything. Now that we are divorced, what he does is none of my business."

"He is still Hailee's father."

"It is because he is Hailee's father that I am civil to him. I want my daughter to be happy. Being with her father makes her happy, so I will deal with him."

"What time is he supposed to pick her up?"

"He is supposed to be here at noon. Then I will pick her up on Monday." Just then Hailee came running into the kitchen.

"Is it time for Daddy to pick me up?" She asked, excitedly.

"In a couple of hours, sweetie. Why don't you and I play together until daddy gets here." I suggested. She grabbed my hand and started pulling me to the living room. I played with Aurora and Hailee until the doorbell rang. Paul answered the door.

"Daddy!" Hailee said, as she saw her father come into the living room. She ran over to him.

"Hi, princess." He said, scooping her up into his arms and giving her a kiss on the cheek. I stood up. I looked at him.

"Allyson." He said.

"Randy." I replied. That's right, My ex-husband, and Hailee's father is Randal Keith Orton. "I'll get her things." I went up to the room that we shared while we were visiting Paul and Steph. I carried the stuff out to Randy's car. I grabbed her booster seat out of my car and put it into his. I went back into the house.

"I could have done that." Randy stated.

"I handled it on my own. You don't have to worry about me. I can take care of myself." I went over and gave Hailee a kiss.

"I love you, baby. I will see you in a few days. Have fun with Daddy."

"I love you, too." She replied.

"Ally." Randy said, touching my arm. My arm instantly tingled where he touched it.

"Don't touch me. You lost the right to touch me when you tore this family apart." I wrenched my arm away from his grasp and looked into his eyes. After a short period, I ran upstairs to my room. I ran to my window and watched as Randy put Hailee in the car. He opened his door and then looked up at my window. What I saw ripped my heart open even more. He had tears running down his cheeks. I watched through my own tears as he climbed into the driver's seat and drove away.

I stood there continuing to look out the window. I thought about Randy. Paul was right. Randy is the love of my life. I met him through Paul, during their Evolution days. I was still in college at the time. After I finished college, Vince hired me to be in the Public Relations Department. I had been John Cena's PR rep. Randy and I grew closer. We started dating and I became pregnant. We got married on May 25, 2004. Hailee was born on October 10, 2004. We had been happy, very happy. Then almost a year ago things changed. Randy became distant. He would snap at me for no reason. I planned a romantic evening for us. He wouldn't even touch me that night. We got into this huge fight. What came out during that fight was something that I never expected to hear. Randy had cheated on me with Michelle McCool two months before that. It had only been the one time, but it was enough. Randy had shattered my perfect world. I took Hailee and went back to our house in Missouri. I packed mine and Hailee's things and headed to Paul's and Steph's house. I filed for divorce a week later. After the divorce had been finalized, I had taken some time to get myself together. Then I went back to Missouri. I bought a house 30 minutes away from Randy, so that Hailee could see him. Even though Randy and I were no longer together, I wasn't going to keep him away from his daughter. Just because my heart had been ripped from my chest, that didn't mean my daughter's had to be, too. I hadn't gone back to work since the divorce. So the only time that I saw Randy was when we exchanged Hailee from one to the other. More times than I cared to think about, I would remember the good times that we shared. There were days that I ached for Randy. I knew that I would never love another man the way that I loved, and still love Randy. I turned as there was a knock on the door.

"John is here to see you." Paul said. I smiled. John had become my best guy friend. I followed Paul downstairs. I saw John standing in the living room talking to Steph.

"Hi, Johnny." I said. He turned around and smiled when he saw me.

"Hi, Ally." I went to him and we hugged. "I brought a present for you." I looked around. I didn't see any present.

"Where is it? I don't see a wrapped package."

"That is because I am not a package, and I can't be wrapped." I heard from behind me. I gasped and spun around.

"Cass!" I exclaimed as I ran to my best friend. We hugged.

After we stopped hugging, she said, "Has my idiot of a cousin been here yet?"

"Yes. He was here about an hour ago."

"Good. I still haven't forgiven him for being so stupid." She was getting very upset.

"Calm down, Cassandra." John warned. "It isn't good for the baby."

"The baby is fine. I am very mad at Randy for hurting my best friend. How he could cheat on Ally with someone like Michelle McCool is beyond me." I smiled as Cass stood up for me against her cousin. Cassandra Orton had been my best friend for about as long as I had known John. They had been dating at the time that I had started being John's PR rep. They were now married and she was seven months pregnant. I hadn't seen her in a couple of months. She was usually on the road with John.

"I am so glad that you are still my friend after everything that has happened between Randy and I."

"You are my best friend. I will always be your friend. I love Randy, I really do, but he has ruined the best thing that has ever happened to him. But let's not get me started on that. I came here to spend some time with my best friend. So let's sit down and talk." John, Cassie, Paul, Steph, and I sat in the living room and talked. Aurora and Murphy were taking a nap. After they got up from their naps, we were going over to Vince and Linda's for Christmas dinner.

"Ally, have you thought about going back to work.?" Cassie asked.

"I think about it all the time." I replied, honestly.

"Then why haven't you gone back?" John wondered.

"Because I would always see Randy. It hurts to see him now and I only see him a few times a month. I can't imagine how much it is going to hurt to see him all the time. It doesn't help matters that Hailee looks like him, either. Every time I look at her I see Randy. It rips my heart out every time."

"Of course it is going to hurt, but you love your job. Dad has been wondering if you are ever going to come back to work."

"Think about Hailee, too. She hardly gets to see Randy as it is. She will get to see him all the time if you go back to work. You know how much she loves Randy." Paul added.

"Yeah, I do know." I thought about it for a few minutes. "Okay, I guess I am going back to work." I smiled. Cassie hugged me.

"Now I can spend time with my best friend, instead of always having to stay in the hotel room. John never lets me go to the arena with him anymore." Cass stated.

"For some reason, you always end up there anyway." John accused.

"It is boring being in a room all by yourself all day long. Besides I am pregnant, not sick."

"I am just worried about you and the baby." John said.

"I know and I love you for it. But I know when to take it easy. I want this baby as much as you do, so I will not put her in danger. Trust me." Cass stated, taking his hand.

"I do not trust you and I love you, too." He leaned over and gave her a kiss. When they looked back at me, I had tears streaming down my cheeks.

"What is the matter, Ally?" John asked.

"I was just remembering Randy being the same way as you are, when I was pregnant with Hailee. I'll be okay." Just then Murphy started crying. "I'll get her." I said, getting up from the couch and going to the nursery.

"Why did your best friend have to be so stupid?" Cassie asked John.

"I don't know, babe. I wish that there was something that we could do for Ally. She is still hurting so much."

"Will she ever get over Randy?" Cassie wondered.

"I don't know. But I am thinking that she won't. I know that Randy hurt her very badly. I also know that he regrets it with everything that is in him. I am not making excuses for him. I wanted to kill him, but we all make mistakes. The only time that I have ever seen Allyson truly happy is when she was with Randy. I can't help hoping that Randy and Allyson will find their way back to each other." Paul stated.

"with a love like the love that they share, they may do just that." Steph stated. "Aurora should be waking up soon, so we should be getting ready to go to mom and dad's."

Everyone worked together to get things done. When Aurora woke up at 2:30, we headed over to Vince and Linda's. We opened more presents and we had dinner around 5. I told Vince that I was going back to work. He was happy. I, on the other hand, was wondering if I was doing the right thing.

Well, that is it for Chapter 1.

I have so many ideas going around in my head for this story.

Please read and review to let me know what you think.
