So, this is indeed the last chapter. It's a simple one, but I'm proud with it. Even though this is the end, I'll probably end up giving you a prologue. I hope you enjoyed it and I thank all of those who followed 'Broken In Two' and this one XD. As always, don't forget to review!

Michelle closed her eyes and rested her head back against the car seat. Inhaling deeply, she tried to process what she was going to say to John. God, how she didn't want to hurt him. The only thing he'd been was good to her. How cruel could she be? She opened her eyes when she felt Randy grab her hand in his. But she loved Randy. She always had. The baby she was carrying was his and she couldn't have been more happier. Flicking a smile, she brought his hand up to her lips.
"It's going to be okay." He voice assured her.
Michelle just 'looked' at him. "Easier said then done."
They just stared at each other before Randy got out of the car and crossed over to her side. Grabbing her hand again, he helped her out of the car. Michelle just stared up at the hotel complex and could just feel her heart racing. She assured herself that Randy was right and that everything would be okay … someday.
"You ready?" Randy questioned squeezing her hand tightly.
Michelle just nodded and let him lead her into the building.

"So, Randy's the father. You and him together." John spoke as he got up off the couch and took a step away from everyone.
Michelle already felt the tears. "John, you have to know that I love you. I truly do care for you."
John whipped around to face her. "Do you?" He said in short tone. "But yet you slept with him behind my back and you're now having his baby."
Randy stepped forward, but Dave caught him and held him back.
Michelle let the tears fall as she watched the hurt in his eyes stare right back at her. "You'll never know how sorry I' am for that, John. I didn't want to hurt you, but I guess either way I did anyways."
"You think?" John spoke harshly.
This time it was Dave who stepped forward. "Don't ever hold that tone with her." He warned.
Michelle stood up and put a hand on Dave's chest. "It's alright. I deserve it."
John sighed and ran his hands over his face. This was really happening to him, wasn't it? The thing he had always dreaded from the beginning. He rested his hands on his hips and just stared at the ground.
"John …" She started but he cut her off with his stare.
"I'm not trying to be harsh, Michelle … but for God's sake." He took a minute to breathe in deeply. "In fear of snapping at you, I'm just going to leave right now." He stated before he brushed past everybody.
Michelle started after him, but both Randy and Dave stopped her attempt. "Let him go." Randy spoke softly before the sound of the slamming door could be heard.
"I …" Was all Michelle could get out before the tears came again.
Randy helped her sit back down on to the couch as he wrapped his arms around her. "I am here." He whispered into her ear as he stroked her hair.
"Will he ever forgive me?" She cried into his chest.
Dave took the seat on the other side of her. "John's a good guy. Just give him some time." He assured resting a hand on her back.
Michelle just nodded her head as she kept her head against Randy's shoulder. Randy and Dave just 'looked' at each other. Even though there was hurting involved in the whole situation, they both knew that it was finally over. Dave gave Randy a smirk before he stood up and quietly made his exit out of the room. Randy smiled to himself as he kissed Michelle softly on her neck.

Randy watched as she slept. Her hand resting on her stomach. A smile crossed his face. This is who he wanted to wake up to every morning … to kiss when he returned home from the road … or if he had it his way, they'd travel with him. She had his heart. She'd had it since the first moment his eyes laid upon her that day in the hall. The stories they could tell their children. With that, he took his hand and softly rubbed her stomach.
Michelle flicked her tired eyes open to see Randy placing a kiss on her stomach. She couldn't help the smile. She hoped to God that John wouldn't hold this against her forever. Even after what they'd been through, she'd hate to lose his love and friendship.
"I thought I'd never see the day. Randy Orton has a soft side." Michelle spoke catching Randy's attention.
Randy laid down next to her. "I'm blame that on you." He smirked.
Michelle flicked an eyebrow. "I think being blamed for that is a good thing."
"Eh … I guess so." He said with a simple shrug of his shoulders.
Michelle let out a little laugh. "You know if we have a girl … you're going to get even softer."
Randy's expression turned serious when he shook his head. "Pssh … No, I won't. Plus, I already know we're having a boy. Fourth generation superstar."
It was Michelle's expression this time that turned serious. "Nah-ah. Don't even start with that already."
"And then I can teach him a little about the women …" He continued before Michelle slapped him on the arm. Randy couldn't help but laugh at the stern look on her face.
Michelle tried to push him away when he reached in for a kiss. "You're already getting yourself into trouble." She said flicking him a dirty look. Randy pouted and the smile came. "God, help those women if the baby turns out to be another you." She laughed before Randy placed a kiss on her lips.
"I should be hurt by that, but I'll take it as a compliment." Michelle jumped when she felt the movement in her stomach. "You okay?" Randy quickly asked. Michelle just nodded and smiled at his quick concern. Grabbing his hand she rested it on her belly, just when the baby decided to kick again.
Randy nodded his head. "Definitely a boy."
Michelle just rolled her eyes and stayed quiet. This is how it was going to be from now on and she couldn't have thanked God more. Here with the man she knew she'd spend the rest of her life with and the child that they'd made together, that they'd share for the rest of their lives … hopefully with some more to follow…
"Love you." She shared out loud.
Randy flicked his eyes up at her. "Love you too, baby."
