A/N This is my first story so I dont really expect it to be any good in anyone else's eyes other than my own :]
Disclaimer: I own nothing =[
Mickie James was making breakfast, when her daughters walked into the room, Lorraine (Ray) and Haylie , both were 10. Lorraine was wearing a black t-shirt with black shorts on and Haylie was wearing a white tank top with light green pajama bottoms. The twins were total opposites. Ray was into rock, and was very boy-ish. And Haylie was … basically a complete Vegan, (Ray called her a 'tree hugging hippy') She had strong views about animal rights and also about recycling and saving the planet, which Ray liked to take the mick out of.
Mickie was only 13 when she had the twins, so at the moment she was only 23, her parents went mad at first, but knew her and Randy were responsible enough to look after them … sort of.
"hey" Mickie smiled.
"hi mom" they groaned
"well this is a rarity, since when have you two got up at the same time?" she asked them as they sat at the counter and plopped their heads on the counter in unison "and this early, it's a weekend and its … " she looked at the clock "20 to 9?" she asked him
"Since this hippy woke me up thinking aloud while writing her letter to the city council about how they cant chop down some tree in the park, do you have any idea how annoying that is when you're trying to sleep?" Ray asked irritated. Mickie laughed. At that moment her husband Randy trudged into the room.
"and what about you, since when have you woke up before 11?" she asked
"since I felt you had got out of bed" he said kissing her.
"hmm, liar" she laughed
"yeah, these two woke me up arguing about saving the trees or something" he said shooting two of his daughters a look, they grinned and got to their cereal. "but I very nearly woke up when I felt you weren't there." he nodded
"ooh, I am so flattered" she smiled.
"hmm, you should be" he nodded. "why do you get up this early anyway?" he asked her "how do you get up this early?"
"I get up because this way I have some time to get some things done around here, and its quite easy Randal, repeat after me, will power" she smiled
"well I don't see the point" he yawned "I would have thought you'd want to spend every moment you could in bed with you loving, charming and if I do say so myself incredibly sexy and satisfying husband" he yawned
"ew" Lorraine said choking on her cereal. "you're not sexy … you're NASTYYYY!!!!" she added making Mickie laugh. Randy laughed and sat down after getting a can of red bull out of the fridge.
"mom, why cant we drink red bull in the morning like dad?" Lorraine asked. Randy smirked and took a swig of it
"because it has bull sperm in it" Haylie said. Randy almost instantly spat out the liquid
"WHAT?!"
"IT DOES NOT YOU LIAR! MOM IT DOESN'T DOES IT!?" Ray asked.
"it does, it has Taurine in it, which is either Bull Sperm or Ox Bile, I cant remember" Haylie said thinking.
"Haylie taurine hasn't been made from Ox Bile in years … I don't think, but you're right, it used to" Mickie said thinking. She was qualified to be a science teacher, and knew a lot about it, but at the moment she wasn't working. "and you cant have it Lorraine because you're hyper enough as it is, you don't need extra boost. I'd be like putting sugar on sugar puffs" she told her. Randy laughed "then again, you could use some motivation of a morning, so I might just start pouring it down your throat when you wont get up" Mickie yawned.
"see getting up this early exhausts you, I suggest tomorrow you have a lie in. I shall keep you company" he smirked. The twins were busy arguing about who got the cereal prize
"oh really, and what exactly could you do to keep me occupied?" she asked standing in front of the stool he was sitting on. He held her hips.
"I'm sure I could think of a few things" he smirked.
"we're going to go and watch Twilight" Lorraine said "Edward Cullen is waiting for us!" she added dreamily
"ew! I'm not watching that ugly jerk Edward Cullen parade around the screen, Jacob's a million times better!" Haylie argued
The twins walked off still arguing
"well, what do you say"
"I'm not like you lot, I cant stay I bed all morning, nor do I want, or need to" she told him.
"you liar, getting up really early of a morning, tires you out,"
"I have to get up, I need to get them up for school" she told him
"yeah, on a weekday, and you don't have any excuse to get up tomorrow, or Monday. The kids are staying at my parents remember" he said
"I'll think about it" she said.
Later that night Randy walked into the living room to see Mickie on her hands and knees trying to scrub something out of the carpet. Obviously one of the kids had spilt something. He smirked not being able to take his eyes of her perfect ass. She looked over her shoulder.
"you know you can make yourself useful and not ogle" she snapped.
"and why would I deny myself the view?" he smirked. She instantly got up to sit on her knees.
"what am I Randy a piece of meat?" she snapped.
"no, but if you were you'd be that expensive stuff" he told her.
"I beg your pardon!? Its still meat Randal Orton!!"
"ooh, she's in a mood, she called me Randal"
"be very grateful it wasn't something that rhymes with wick, or swat!" she said.
"what's the matter with you?" he asked. She got to her feet.
"I'm tired of being taken for granted. All you seem to do is try it on, argue with me or flirt. that's when you are home" she told him.
"what do you mean, when I'm home!?" he asked.
"what time did you get in last night Randy?" she asked.
"oh I don't know about … 11:30" he said.
"try 3:20am!" she snapped. "you spend all night in the club lord knows what you're doing there! Probably looking for a leggy blonde to get your rocks off with!" she snapped. The kids were asleep so Mickie tried to keep the noise down.
"oh whatever Mickie, you know as well as I do I'm not cheating on you!" he said walking off and out of the door.
The next morning Ray and Haylie were sitting at the counter. Mickie had only just finished making them all breakfast. On a Sunday she always made some for Randy too. He never asked her, but she did. She gave the twins theirs then slammed Randy's plate onto the table.
"RANDY GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE YOU'RE BREAKFAST'S BEEN ON THE TABLE FOR 15 MINUTES!" She said just after she had put it on the table.
The two girls looked at their mother with their eyebrows high.
At that moment Randy trudged into the room.
"Jesus Christ woman! Just because you can get by without a full nights sleep don't mean the rest of the world can!" he snapped.
"well you shouldn't be out all night then should you!" she snapped back.
"well excuse me for having a life beyond looking after a family!" he snapped back.
"YOU DON'T WANT YOUR FAMILY IN YOUR LIFE!? FINE WE'LL GO!" She yelled at him.
"I NEVER FUCKING SAID THAT DID I!?" he yelled back.
"WELL OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE SO DETERMINED TO HAVE A LIFE AWAY FROM YOUR FAMILY! ITS GOT TO BE EASIER IF WE WEREN'T AROUND AT ALL!" she yelled at him "UNLESS ITS JUST ME YOU'RE SO DESPERATE TO HAVE A LIFE AWAY FROM! IN WHICH CASE I'LL GO!" she added.
"YOU KNOW WHAT!? MAYBE IT'D BE BETTER FOR ME IF YOU FUCKED OFF! BUT THERE IS NO WAY YOU'RE TAKING MY KIDS FROM ME!"
"WELL THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE TAKING THEM FROM ME EITHER! THEY ARE COMING WITH ME!"
"THEY'RE STAYING HERE!"
"THEY'RE COMING WITH ME DAMN IT!" she yelled.
"WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY WANT TO GO WITH A BITCH LIKE YOU!?" he yelled at her.
"IT'D BE AN IDEA TO ASK THEM WHO THEY WANT TO GO WITH INSTEAD OF CHOOSING FOR THEM!" Mickie yelled. Both parents looked at their kids who both looked like they were going to cry
"are you two splitting up?" Haylie asked. Mickie looked at Randy.
"are we ?" she asked.
"well if you keep accusing me of cheating on you !" he snapped. The two girls walked out of the room in tears.
"awe do I offend you?" she asked with venom in her voice "well it offends me when you think that I'm stupid enough to fall for it! I know you've been with Stacy, Randy, I know you have and do you want to know how I know ?" she asked.
"how!?" he snapped.
"because last night, I followed you to that club you always go to! I got my sister Alyssa here to look after the girls and I went after you, I was hoping to apologize, but what did I see ? YOU AND STACY MAKING OUT!" she yelled.
He stayed silent
"so yeah Randy, I've decided! Its over!" she said strongly.
"Mickie …"
"SAVE IT!" she yelled "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT ANYMORE! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR EXCUSES ARE WHEN I KNOW THE TRUTH!" she yelled.
"no please baby you have to listen" he said taking hold of her arm gently. But as soon as he did she ripped herself from his grasp.
"don't touch me" she said shaking her head. "you didn't even have the decency to tell me the truth, why didn't you just leave me if you didn't love me anymore?" she asked him "forget it don't bother answering" she added sadly.
"I never stopped loving you" he told her. "you cant leave me Mickie, I need you"
"yeah right, of course you do. You need me that why you're with another woman every night, you need her not me" she told him "I don't see any point going through court and everything, I'll have one of the twins, you have the other, the first Christmas you can have all the kids, then the next Christmas I will, same with Birthdays and Thanksgiving" she told him,
"I cant lose you Mickie" he shook his head.
"but that didn't stop you from being with someone else did it ?" she asked before walking out of the room, "I guess you're probably going to go to her now, its probably better if you do anyway, I can be gone by the time you come back, I'll talk to the twins, see who wants to go where" she said walking off.
She walked up to the twins bedroom where all the girls were sitting, looking extremely upset.
"I'm sorry for me and your dad arguing in front of you two" she told them softly.
"does that mean you've sorted everything out? You're not splitting up ?" Haylie asked hopefully. Mickie sent her children a tiny, soft smile. They knew it meant that their parents were splitting.
Both of the girls had tears rolling down their faces.
"it's for the best" she told them.
"why are you splitting up anyway?" Lorraine asked.
"because …" Mickie thought of a way to explain "because your daddy has fallen in love with another woman, and he wants to be with her, but he didn't want to hurt us, so I told him it was over, that way we could all be happy."
"are we coming with you ?" Haylie asked
"one of you are" she told them. "the other is staying with your dad"
"who's going and who's staying?"
"its up to you two"
"well I'm staying with dad, at least he tried to keep us together" Ray said getting up and storming out of the room. Haylie got up angrily.
"WELL AT LEAST MOM DIDN'T GO OUT AND SCREW EVERYONE BEHINDS DAD'S BACK! AT LEAST SHE DIDN'T PUT OUR FAMILY ON THE LINE FOR SOME DUMB BLONDE!" Haylie yelled after her. "SO STAY WITH DAD! YOU MAKE A GOOD TEAM!"
By the end of the week, Mickie and Haylie had left. One of Mickie's knew a house in some small town somewhere (as Haylie put it) that was up for sale. It was pretty big, bigger than the rest in town. It had two floors and 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms, it was still pretty simple. It was right by fields and stables, which Haylie liked the thought of.
After they left, the house seemed really empty to Randy and Lorraine. Ray felt so guilty for what she said to her mom, and she knew it would be weeks before she actually spoke to her again.
Randy wanted nothing more than to see his wife when he came home from work everyday. He worked as a teacher, okay, fair enough …he was a PE teacher as well as the soccer and wrestling coach. Mickie was a science teacher, but didn't work, she did some tutoring from time to time but that was really it. He knew Lorraine was effected from not having her mother or sister around anymore, and felt undeniably guilty.
It was his fault the family had broken up after all …
