Randy opened his eyes and smiled. Cammy was staring at him with a soft smile on her lips. She looked frail, but better than she had the night before. He rubbed his hand over his face and sat forward in his chair.
"How do you feel?"
"Like I've been hit by the big show." She weakly laughed.
"You want me to get the nurse?"
"No." Each breath sounded like a gasp. "It feels good to feel something."
"Okay," he took her hand. "Okay."
Each day she got better, Randy felt more hopeful. Having her mother there made her stronger, but he worried what it would do to her when she found out that her mother had cancer. They soon moved her to a regular room and he brought his laptop with him. When Cammy felt like it she worked and when she didn't, he would browse the internet looking for a miracle cure. It seemed so unfair for Jackie to have only a few months to live when she had finally freed herself from a marriage that was more like a prison.
By the time Cammy was released, Jackie was extremely weak and the truth had to come out. But Randy had found something. A doctor in Sweden had developed a treatment that worked nine times out of ten. It was expensive but money was not what he was worried about. He was more worried about what the trip would do to both mother and daughter. But it had to be done.
It was a rough year. But by the time they celebrated Nicky's birthday, Wade was no longer in their lives. He had survived and Randy had ended up on house arrest for nearly six months. It was hard on him to wait at home while Cammy went with her mother to Sweden for treatment. Wade threatened not to sign divorce papers and had begun to give Cammy a hard time about it, but one phone call from Randy changed his mind. Wade had lost his career because of his actions in and out of the ring which made it easier for Cammy and Randy to return to work. They had decided not to if Wade was still employed and management felt Randy and Cammy were more important to the universe than Wade.
Jackie went into remission, but as she had said, her husband did make an attempt to take her life on the day they were due in court for their divorce hearing. He was waiting in the shadows of an alley way, ready to pounce. He would have choked his soon to be ex wife to death if Randy had not sent a body guard with her. But it all worked out. Randy and Cammy were married and they bought a tour bus. Their home away from home in which they spent more time than they did at Randy's St. Louis home. Jackie became their live in nanny and their life could not be more perfect than if it were a fairy tale. But wait … this is a fairy tale … perhaps not a traditional fairy tale, but a fairy tale just the same.
So I guess there is just one thing left to say about the story of Randy and Cammy …
And they lived happily ever after.
The End.
Thank you so much for all the reviews on my first story. I hope to write another one real soon. :)
