The trial continued for another 2 weeks longer JBL than predicted. The defence was doing all it could to discredit the prosecutions stories. Brie and Randy were now waiting in the courts waiting room.
"Where'd you think Nikki is?" Brie asked as she looked at the door. Today was an extremely important day as it was the juries deliberations. The case was nearly over and Brie was due to find out if she was going to go free or if indeed she would be going back to a prison cell. Brie looked up at the clock face and saw it was 2:55pm the jury had been deliberating for the past 2 days and it was making Brie sick with worry. However her mind was quickly taken off when she saw Nikki come strolling in.
Brie smiled at Nikki and hugged her. Despite what Nikki and Randy had done Brie couldn't hate Nikki for it after all it wasn't like she did it maliciously.
"Thank you" Brie smiled as Cole entered the room.
"The juries back." Cole spoke.
Brie breathed deeply before looking to Randy Nikki and JBL. Everyone's hearts were now beating so fast because the jury was ready. Brie wasn't sure if she should enter the court room or not because hearing the defendants receiving a not guilty verdict would break her. "Let's go" Brie spoke as she walked out of the waiting room. She decided she'd go no matter what the verdict was.
Brie Randy and Nikki walked into the courtroom and sat on the front seats of the public gallery. In then strode Triple H, Stephanie, Kurt, Dean and Roman. They were all smug as they were confidant that they would be cleared of all charges.
"All rise for the right honourable judge Glen Jacobs" a voice spoke.
The court room rose as the monster of a judge entered. Brie had one hand on her bump and another hand interlocked with Randy's. Brie stared right at the judges seat she knew Roman was glaring at her but she was determined not to make eye contact.
"Be seated" Judge Jacobs announced as the courtroom sat except for the defendants. "Has the jury reached a verdict of which you are all agreed?" Judge Jacobs asked.
"We have your honour" the foreman spoke as he began reading out the verdicts.
Brie let out a little cry as each charge was followed by the words guilty. Brie couldn't believe it, Triple H guilty on all charges, Stephanie Hemsley guilty on all charges, Dean Ambrose and Kurt Angle guilty on all charges. As each guilty verdict was read out Brie felt as if time was going slow she couldn't help but look at the cockiness draining from all of the defendants but it was Romans verdict that she wanted to hear.
"In the State Of Arizona vs Roman Reigns we the jury find the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree, on the charge of attempted murder of Brianna Bella we find the defendant guilty, on the charge of attempted sexual assault we find the defendant guilty" the foreman spoke.
Brie was now crying her eyes out as she saw the smug look on Romans face go from cockiness to shock and anger. But it was time for Brie to find out if she was cleared of charges laid against her.
"In the State of Arizona vs Brianna Bella we the jury find her not guilty of first degree murder" the foreman spoke.
Brie covered her mouth as she'd heard the two most important words ever. She was found not guilty of murdering Lana. She was now a free woman practically. Brie smiled as felt Randy give her a squeeze.
"Want to leave now?" Randy whispered. Brie shook her head and got up to leave but as they were leaving they heard Judge Jacobs addressing the defendants.
"You have all been found guilty for various crimes you will all be remanded in custody until pre sentencing reports have been submitted, however I will warn you that you will be going to prison for a very very long time all sentencing options are being kept open including whole life sentences and the death penalty will be kept as a possible option" Judge Jacobs warned.
For Brie, Randy, Nikki and even JBL they didn't care they knew that the defendants would rightfully be punished for what they did. As soon as Brie walked into the waiting room she immediately hugged Randy Nikki and JBL because without them she wouldn't be here. "What happens now?" Brie asked.
"Well Judge Jacobs will write up a report stating that you've been cleared of all charges relating to Lana's murder it will be sent to the appeal courts but that's just a formality so your basically a free woman as of right now" JBL replied.
"And what about us?" Brie asked as she looked at Randy.
"We stay together all 3 of us well until the baby arrives then it'll be 4 of us" Randy replied placing his hand on Brie's bump before looking at Nikki.
JBL smiled, "So you want the witness protection program?" JBL asked but paused as he heard Brie letting out a little cry.
"No oh god no please no!" Brie cried as she suddenly felt trickling down her legs. Brie looked down to see a large puddle forming on the ground. It was only then that she realised that her waters were breaking. "No she can't come now! Randy we don't have anything for our baby" Brie cried.
"John get a fucking ambulance now!" Randy cried. "It's ok Brie just breath everything's going to be ok" Randy spoke.
Instead of dialling for an ambulance JBL quickly helped Brie into his car and drove Brie, Nikki and Randy to the hospital.
Randy, Nikki and surprisingly Curtis and Mike sat in the waiting room. Randy was on edge as he paced the room. He was worried about Brie and the baby but at the same time he felt a strange sense of pride and excitement he couldn't wait to see his son or daughter he didn't know what Brie was having because she wanted it to be a surprise. "What's taking so long? She's been in labour for hours" Randy asked as he began pacing up and down again.
"Relax there's nothing you or any of us can do we just have to hope and pray" Nikki sighed.
"Is she Ok?" Randy quickly asked as a young nurse came.
"Mother and baby are doing perfect" the nurse replied.
"Can I see them? I'm the dad" Randy pleaded.
"Of course" the nurse smiled.
Randy followed the nurse but before he left the waiting area he turned to Nikki. "Do you want to come?"
"No this is you're moment Randy" Nikki smiled as she watched Randy leave.
When they got to Brie's room Randy entered and started smiling as he saw Brie. When Randy entered he saw an extremely tired out Brie cradling her newborn baby in her arms.
"Hey Randy I've got someone who'd like to meet you" Brie tiredly spoke. "Come and meet your daughter" Brie smiled as she watched Randy walk over. "She's beautiful isn't she" Brie smiled as she handed her baby to Randy.
Randy sat and gently held his new born daughter. He couldn't believe how tiny she was. "Hey there sweetie I'm your daddy" Randy smiled as he looked at his sleeping daughter. "I hope you realise the amount of trouble you caused to get here but I love you nonetheless" Randy joked as he gently kissed her head before handing her back to Brie.
"Randy are you crying?" Brie smiled as she cradled her small bundle of life.
"No I've got something in my eye" Randy joked as he wiped away a tear. "Does she have a name?" Randy asked.
"She sure does how about we call her Alexa Summer Bella?" Brie asked.
Randy kissed Brie's cheek gently. "It's beautiful now get some rest you look exhausted." Randy softly spoke as he kissed Brie's head before taking Alexa back and putting her in her little crib next to Brie.
A little while later and Randy had gotten something to eat and was watching Alexa in her crib. He came back and had seen that Brie had fallen asleep so he'd decided he'd quietly talk to baby Alexa. He talked about all sorts to her he spoke about things from his childhood to care and motorbikes to a more recent baseball game, Randy knew Alexa probably won't understand anything he was saying but he figured if she kept hearing his voice she'd start to recognise it. "Hey Alexa it's your daddy I just want you to know you mean the world to me and your mom, you have no idea what we've been through but I promise you I'll look after the two most important women in my life now and that's you and your very special mommy." Randy softly spoke as he held Alexa's small hand. "You mean the world to us and it's thanks to your aunt Nikki and a really special lady that you'll never be able to meet, so we've given you her name as a middle name it's a way of saying thank you. I doubt you'll believe me or your mom but when your older we'll tell you why your middle name is so special to both of us I promise to my dying breath I'll protect you and your mom I love you Alexa Summer Bella" Randy softly spoke as he kissed Alexa's head. As he turned round he saw Brie laying smiling at him.
"And little Alexa loves you too" Brie smiled as Randy sat next to her.
"You heard all of that?" Randy smiled as he took Brie's hand as she nodded. Randy didn't say anything else as they just looked at baby Alexa. Randy then looked at Brie and sighed deeply, "Listen Brie about what happened with me and Nikki" Randy began but was abruptly cut off by Brie.
"Go get baby Alexa for me" Brie ordered. Randy complied and walked over to the crib and lifted Alexa up who let out a little cry but quickly stoped as she was placed in her mother's arms. "Look at her Randy, look at your baby from this day everything that happened in the past stays in the past but I'm warning you Randy if you ever do anything with another woman then you'll never see little Alexa again do I make myself clear!" Brie demanded.
Randy was sat listening to Brie's words, they stung him as he sat looking at Brie then to baby Alexa the threat of never seeing Alexa again was something he didn't want to happen. "I promise I won't mess up what we have, can I hold her?" Randy replied as Brie handed Alexa to him. Randy sat with Alexa cradled in his arms. Randy was hoping that Brie had been carrying a boy so he could take him to baseball and football games but the more he thought about it the more he started taking a big liking to having a little girl to look after.
"OMG she's beautiful" Nikki softly spoke as she entered the room with a handful of shopping bags. Nikki had wanted to give Brie and Randy some alone time so she had decided to go and do some shopping with Curtis. Although Nikki hadn't gone shopping for herself she'd gone shopping for her little niece. Randy had already told Nikki that Brie had a little girl so it was fairly easy to go and get some girly clothes. "Erm am I allowed to hold her?" Nikki quietly asked.
"Sure thing just watch her head" Brie replied as Randy gently handed Alexa over to Nikki.
"Hey there kiddo I'm your aunt Nikki" Nikki gently spoke as a tear trickled down her cheek. Nikki sat looking at little Alexa amazed at how small and cute she was. "Oh Brie take this" Nikki whispered so's not to wake Alexa as she gave Brie an envelope as she sat holding Alexa.
Brie sat looking at the envelope confused as she opened it. Brie's eyes nearly shot out of her head as she held a cheque in her hand. The cheque was for five thousand dollars, Brie looked at Randy who also couldn't believe what he was seeing. "Nicole what's this for?" Brie asked.
"It's my way of saying sorry for the trouble I've caused I mean I went with your boyfriend and I turned my back on you when you first went to prison please take it" Nikki pleaded as tears trickled down her face.
"Come here" Brie softly spoke as Nikki leaned across to hug her. The sisters hugged each other tightly before Brie let go. Brie looked at the cheque again before handing it back, "please Nikki keep it I can't accept it, we're sisters and I'll always love you besides you've always wanted to go back to school that money can help you" Brie pleaded.
"Brie when I was working as a stripper at the club I made a lot of money by way of tips and out calls so I'm not short of money" Nikki then placed the cheque back on Brie's bed. "Fine if you won't except it for yourself then please take it for your daughter put it in a trust fund for her" Nikki suggested as Brie nodded.
"Thank you Nikki, this money will help her a lot" Brie smiled as she watched Nikki place Alexa in her crib.
Suddenly JBL walked in. "Hey Brie congratulations on the birth" JBL whispered as he walked over to a sleeping Alexa. "Oh she's beautiful, now since your being placed in the federal witness protection program I've managed to find out where you, Randy baby Alexa and Nikki will be living from now on" JBL began. "Your going to live in the suburbs of Chicago in the state of Illinois when your discharged, from what I've been told your house has a lovely garden so Alexa will have somewhere to play and there's good job prospects and good schooling, and the neighbourhood has one of the lowest crime rates in the city" JBL spoke to a shocked room.
"JBL just answer me this" Brie began. "Is Illinois safe from Triple H and the rest of his cronies?" Brie worryingly asked.
"You have nothing to worry about you'll be well protected and we know Triple H doesn't operate out that way" JBL replied.
"Give us some time to think it over" Randy replied on behalf of Nikki and Brie as he showed JBL the door.
"Well if it means keeping us and baby Alexa safe I'm game" Nikki suggested.
"Let's just talk it over" Brie said as Randy sat next to them.
Brie was eventually discharged six days after giving birth to Alexa. Brie, Nikki and Randy had agreed it was in all their best interests to move to Chicago it was a chance for all three of them to start a fresh and most importantly it also meant that baby Alexa would be safe from harm.
"Are you sure she's not too cold?" Randy asked for what seemed like the millionth time.
Brie who was holding Alexa in a baby carrier that could be used as a car seat smiled at how fatherly he was acting. "Don't worry she's got a diaper on, a pink romper suite, a woolly hat and two blankets she's fine stop worrying all those layers will keep her warm and if she gets too hot I'll take some off" Brie smiled as an unmarked FBI car pulled up. Brie opened the car door and strapped Alexa's seat in as Nikki and Randy loaded their belongings into the trunk Brie turned to face JBL, Mike, and Curtis. "Thank you all of you I'll never forget everything you've done for us and I'll make sure Alexa never forgets what you did for her mom and dad you guys are hero's" Brie warmly spoke as she gave each man a hug.
"It's our job Brie but thank you nonetheless" JBL replied on behalf of Mike and Curtis as Randy shook hands with them before they joined Nikki in the car.
"Right then off to Chicago we go" Brie softly spoke as she waved good by to the 3 FBI agents and she also waved goodbye to the state she and Nikki had lived in since they were born. Brie knew this was the last time she'd probably ever get to see Arizona so she took one last look before turning her attention to Randy, Nikki and baby Alexa. "To our new life" Brie announced.
"To our new life" Randy and Nikki said in unison as the car drove off into the sunset.
