"Love me in extremes;
love me crazy wild,
but also love me delicately soft"

I sat in the driveway briefly replying to emails from Carrano on appearances that I rescheduled for next week. You'd think that with me not being cleared for the ring for the last couple weeks I would have more time at home with my pregnant fiance but you thought wrong.

In that time I had been used on TV every week to talk for a few minutes and then flown out to do various appearances. I mean I was happy that they still wanted me to do things but all I wanted was to be back home with Nicole. Which is why I was replying to emails before heading in to surprise her and little Joseph when she was only expecting to see me on Sunday.

I had finally been cleared this past week and went up against Erick Rowan who was a partner to Bray Wyatt, who was my current on screen rival. I liked that I was feuding with him because it helped me sink into the twisted side of me. I was used to being the demented one in most of my feuds so the fact that I was going up against a guy with probably way more voices in his head than me was fun.

I locked the car before heading inside and expected to be greeted by Joseph but that didn't happen. I dropped my luggage as I heard Nicole laughing and followed the sound.

"He actually went to get it. That was a good throw, Ally!" Nicole spoke and as soon as she did I saw my daughter and frowned.

I was only meant to see her in a couple of weeks which would be when I had some real downtime so I hadn't expected her playing outside while Nicole was in the pool.

"Daddy!" I heard Ally's voice and realized I had been caught standing in the doorway leading out to the backyard.

"Hey" I smiled as she ran over to me and as soon as she reached me I scooped her into my arms as Joseph hopped onto me as well, finally realizing I was there.

Nicole frowned having obviously not expected me at all but she walked towards me and gave me a brief kiss, "What a surprise"

"For me or you?" I smirked and she rolled her eyes and I think that might have been record time for me to annoy her. But then again she had probably had the annoyance built up since I hadn't been home last weekend like she expected either.

"Ally, why don't you go change. I'm going to fix us up some dinner" She spoke to her as it was clear they had been playing in the pool all afternoon. I let Ally go and watched her run, with Joseph trailing her, upstairs.

"I visioned this surprise going a little differently" I mumbled as I followed Nicole into the kitchen.

She turned to face me and leaned against the kitchen counter while I opened the fridge to grab something to drink, "I'm happy to see you especially after two weeks without you. I'm just not happy to see that look in your eye"

"What look? I can't be surprised to find my daughter here?" I chuckled as I wasn't sure I would have known if I hadn't decided to surprise her.

She sighed and briefly adjusted her bikini straps, "I got home yesterday from the store and there was a message on the answering machine from Samantha. Ally forgot something over here so when she came to pick it up I asked if I could pick Ally up from school for the rest of the week" She explained and that immediately caused an anxious feeling that I didn't like to fill me.

My current fiance and my ex-wife seeing each other without me present, "Why?"

"Because maybe I like spending time with your daughter? Why else?" She frowned seeming confused by why I had even bothered to question the reason and I guess I had thought aloud.

"I just don't like the idea of you and Samantha talking without me there" I reluctantly admitted and leaned over the counter which caused her to move towards me. Samantha and I were on good terms for the sake of Alanna but that didn't take away from the fact that things had been messy between us.

Her fingers rubbed my arm before she wrapped her arms around my shoulders and buried her face into my neck, "Randy, I'm not going to let her brainwash me. Besides, you know she is a nice woman, we just discussed Ally that's all. Just because certain things happened between you two doesn't mean she is going to try and ruin your life"

I kissed her arm before standing up so I could stare into her eyes, "That's not what I am saying. I would just feel more comfortable knowing exactly what is happening"

"What is happening is that I want to spend more time with Alanna and not have to wait until you get home. I also wanted a few days with her especially since you said you wouldn’t be home till next week"

I searched her brown eyes and saw the sincerity within them and I guess I had overreacted. I knew Nicole knew the worst parts of me and I loved that she saw all the twisted sides of me before she saw the man that loved her. And I knew she would probably be the first to defend me before believing anything other than what she had witnessed herself. That was proved a month ago when she had gone up against a Beast because of the shit he pulled on me.

"Okay as usual I am sorry, I was just caught off guard when I heard her here.Thank you, now I get to have both of my favourite people for the rest of the week" I smiled and placed a kiss onto her forehead while she closed her eyes with a smile.

"I'm happy you are cleared. I know just speaking in the ring week after week annoyed you, makes me feel so much better about slapping the Beast that night" She smirked before moving out of my arms and opening the cabinets so she could figure out what to make for dinner.

"I'm genuinely surprised I haven't heard any consequences for it. The Beast can be quite the Brat" I chuckled and sat onto a stool as I watched her moving around in just her bikini.

"I doubt he would throw a fit over a bitch slap." She moved past me to open the fridge but I pulled her between my legs. Two weeks without her body close to mine and I was on the verge of a breakdown. Yeah we spoke almost everyday but it just made it harder on both of us. I wanted to touch her, kiss her and show her how much I loved her the only way I knew best.

"You're starting to show." I glanced down at the small bump, I mean if you didn't know you'd probably just think she was bloated but we knew.

"Don't say that. I still have to look good in my wedding dress for you" She mumbled into my lips and I immediately kissed her like I had expected to when I intended on surprising her.

My tongue definitely missed her mouth and she knew it with a soft moan as my fingers moved from her waist to her ass and squeezed it. I groaned feeling her body pressed against mine while her fingers pressed into my back. She broke the kiss far too soon for my liking but I smiled once I saw her smiling.

"For the record you could be nine months pregnant, walking down the aisle to me, and you would still look damn good to me." I smirked honestly as it was no secret that Nikki Bella was my obsession when she was a complete mess or just the flawless dolled up beauty.

"What are we eating?" I heard Alanna and saw the look in Nicole's eye as she had almost heard me mention that she was pregnant. I let go of Nicole and focused on my daughter.

"Coco is still deciding on that but what we do know is that we want to tell you something very important." I narrowed my eyes playfully as she managed her way onto the stool beside me.

"Am I not going to be the flower girl anymore?" She frowned, glancing at Nicole who laughed.

"What? Of course you are! There's no one else who can do the job. Its good news, Ally" She smiled brightly before mouthing 'I hope' to me while I knew she would be happy about it.

I cleared my throat while my little girl stared up at me and I tried to find the correct wording but I couldn't. I had never thought that I would be having this conversation with her because I figured I was doomed in the happily ever after department.

I briefly glanced at Nicole again and could tell she was nervous too, "Like Coco said its good news. I don't know if you noticed Coco getting a bit fat but..."

"Hey!" She giggled, narrowing her eyes and I smirked before licking over my lips as I tried finding the right words again.

"I'm kidding but Coco is pregnant. So you're going to have a little brother or sister" I smiled down at Ally and her eyes widened just like it had when I had told her I was going to propose to Nicole and that she was able to be part of it.

"Is that true, Coco?" She immediately got off the stool and ran over to Nicole who was surprised as she hugged her. "There's a baby in there?"

She poked Nicole's stomach before staring up at her and the smile on my Fearless Bella's face was priceless. I saw the happiness fill her brown eyes due to the excitement from my little girl, they surely knew how to melt a man's heart.

"Yes there is, Ally. Which means you'll be a big sister, do you think you are ready for that?" She questioned seriously, briefly running her hands through Ally's hair as she spoke.

"Yes, Coco. I'm so happy, thank you!" She squealed and hugged Nicole again which caused my soon to be wife's eyes to fall on me.

"I feel a bit offended that I'm not getting any credit over here since I did all of the work" I mumbled and while Alanna was too obsessed with trying to feel the baby, the narrowed eyes of my fiance told me I needed to shut up.

"It takes two, Orton" She smiled and it was not the lovesick smile that I had become used to since she loved me but it was the one filled with the annoyance. It didn't affect me though, only made me smile and I opened my mouth to say something but remembered my daughter was still with us.

"Does this mean I can visit more, Daddy?" Her eyes fell on me as she held Nicole's hand and I stood up making my way over to my two favourite ladies.

"Your dad still has to wrestle, sweetheart. But I guess it does, Coco loves spending time with you" I smiled down at her before picking her up into my arms.

"Yes she does and you can come over whenever you want, Ally." Nicole winked and I kissed her forehead.

"Come on, let Coco make us dinner while we watch a movie" I smirked and moved past her and saw her roll her eyes in the corner of my eye.
"I'm kidding, come on. Let's get dressed, we'll head out for dinner to celebrate"

●●●

I walked into the room after making sure all the doors were locked and alarms were set. Alanna had fallen asleep on the drive home from dinner which I wasn't surprised by. She had been excited by the news and hadn't stopped asking endless questions throughout dinner. My little Ally wasn't really that talkative which I liked to believe she got from me. But just let her spend a few hours with my lovely Nicole and she's a ball of energy. I didn't mind though, I was always happy to have some quality time with her.

I heard the shower and smirked as I had given up on having Nicole when I knew my daughter was here. But since she was lights out further down the hallway perhaps I could get away with it before I had to fly out on Sunday again.

I stripped off my shorts as I entered the bathroom while she had her back turned to me. I watched like the predator I couldn't help to be as she ran the shampoo through her hair which let me know she would be getting out soon.

My favourite moments with Nicole was usually in the shower or waking up beside her because that's when she was most vulnerable. The look in her brown eyes whenever she was, pushed me over the edge. It was the brief moments when Fearless Nikki took a step back and she fully gave herself to me and maybe I was sick for enjoying it but she didn't mind it.

I opened the door as she tilted her head back allowing her hair to fall down her back. Just as she reached to turn the water off, I stopped her hand and wrapped my arms around her, "Ally is asleep with Joseph beside her"

"And you think that means you can get me all to yourself now?" She whispered as I kissed along her collarbone, feeling the goosebumps fall on her skin.

"It means I know I can, Garcia" I spoke into her skin as my hand slid south and as soon as I slipped my fingers in the moan that was music to my ears filled the small space. "Oh how I miss that sound when I'm away from you"

Her hand made its way onto mine as I bit onto her shoulder and I couldn't help but smirk at how easy it was to bring her so close to the edge. Gone were the times when she used to fight it so much, I enjoyed those moments too but I loved it even more when she didn't.

I turned her around and immediately lift her up against the wall and slid inside her. "Do you miss this when I'm gone, Bella?"

"Fuck yes" She moaned as I roughly pushed into her continuously but pulled her face close to mine and pushed my tongue past my lips.

Her body pushed up against mine knowing just how to move to make me vulnerable as well. I was a predator but when I looked into her brown eyes I wondered if I truly was. In our time together she had been the one to bring me to my knees and silence the voices. I was the weak prey who needed her all along and even if she wouldn't dare admit it, I was certain she knew...

◇◇◇

"I almost cried when she wrapped her arms around me" I pouted as I laid on top of Randy in bed after I decided I couldn't deal with remaining in the shower. He had surprised me but I obviously wasn't complaining because he knew just how to make sure I didn't.

We had just finished watching a movie and he seemed to be enjoying running his fingers through my wavy hair. "It made me happy seeing you that happy. I don't know why you would think she wouldn't be excited"

"I didn't think she wouldn't but you know how I can so easily over think shit, Orton. I love her so much and she's your daughter so knowing that she's happy just makes me feel better." I traced over all the skulls in the dim lights but caught his frown.

"Feel better about what?"

"Not being on the road and saying goodbye to the life I thought I would have had now. Honestly, the last couple weeks at home I would watch the women's matches and just feel this sense of sadness. But in the end this is how its supposed to be and I know the bigger this bump grows the more those thoughts will disappear" I spoke honestly as I had been hesitant about telling him that those feelings were still nagging me but the whole communication thing needed to be done.

"It would be odd if you didn't get those feelings, Bella. I mean on top of it all, you are pregnant so you're going through all these emotions so if sadness wasn't one of them I'd question your sanity" He shrugged not seeming surprised as he twirled my hair in his fingers.

"My sanity? You're the only insane one in this relationship" I wiggled my eyebrows teasingly not wanting to stay on a heavy topic for too long, especially when time with him was limited. I meant what I said though, I was happy that he was officially back to wrestling. Had I been concerned while watching his first match after Brock? Yes. But in the end he was a veteran and knew not what to do to avoid another concussion.

"Does it really count if I'm insanely in love with you?" He smirked knowing just what to say to pull at my heart strings, always the charmer.

"Yes it does. I love to think your love for me makes you borderline psycho..well psychotic" I mused and his eyebrows raised at my choice of words.

"Psycho? That's extreme." He chuckled and licked over his lips which caused my eyes to focus on it before I traced over his frown lines.

"Do you not think that your behaviour has varied a lot because of your love for me?" I smirked. "I mean maybe I should call Colby and ask him?"

"The last name I want to hear while you're on top of me is Colby" he shook his head with a slight groan and I nudged my nose over his to silence it.

"But he is one of your groomsmen?" I smiled into his lips as Colby had told me on one of our weekly catch up phonecalls.

"That is purely because he is like a brother to you, nothing else. Besides, its Nathan and John and Hunter so I just wanted to even out things" He shrugged listing the men in his groom party for our big day that was around the corner.

"Even out things?"

"Yeah my two brothers and the two men who wish they were me" he smirked and I rolled my eyes as I was happy that everything was civil but not happy because he so easily used it to mess with me.

"Every man wishes they could be you, I mean look at me" I shrugged and fell onto my back and lift the sheets which caused his eyes to fall on my very naked body before he moved onto his side and pulled my body against his.

"And yet I am the lucky man. Its good I knocked you up so now you can't go running for the hills"

"Ah so this was the plan all along?" I playfully questioned knowing it definitely wasn't, I might have been in my own world when Hunter dropped the bomb on us. But the look in his blue eyes told me he was just as shocked as I was.

"Might have been" he winked before smiling, "You know just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you returning to the ring won't happen. You're a great athlete so I know even after this baby you'll be ready and it wouldn't be the first time Hunter would put faith in you"

I smiled at his encouraging words and I partially knew he was right. If I was in good physical condition and pleaded my case Hunter would definitely make sure I got a chance. But I wasn't sure how I felt about returning after it was all taken away for a second time. "I know. We'll see how I feel, I doubt I would ever want to leave our baby's side. Besides, just because I am not in the ring doesn't mean I'm no longer a working woman"

"Is that so? Here I thought I had turned the ambitious Nicole Garcia into a housewife"

"Maybe one day, but Brianna ain't having it. So be sure to be the supportive husband once I take over the world with my sister" I laughed even though I hoped all our plans would be successful enough so that we could survive without WWE.

"Always, Bella" He gently kissed my cheek and there was no doubt that he would go along with any idea that popped into my head.

I ran my finger down the centre of his chest before staring at him, "You're excited right?"

"For the baby? Of course." He frowned but I shook my head as my nagging thoughts wouldn't leave me until I questioned him.

"For the wedding? I know you want to make sure its special for me and you're on the road so you can't give much input. So I just want to make sure you're excited about the day too?"

He smiled as he gazed down at me, "I am. I know being on the road I have been less involved and encouraging you to do whatever you want. But I have done most of the things we have planned together. Tomorrow we can go cake tasting with Ally so that will be sorted. I spent a long time trying to get you to just see me as an option, Nicole. So the fact that I will be marrying you? Its the highlight of my life."

I nodded as I guess he was right, he had fought to just be seen as more than I thought of him, "You know if the world knew this Orton. The predator would probably not sound so intimidating"

He seemed to think for a moment before agreeing, "That's why I only sound like a love sick snake when I'm talking about you. I don't give a fuck if people think I'm your prey"

"The prey becomes the predator" I said seriously before giggling as he slowly kissed me. He flipped me onto my back and deepened the gentle kiss and gone was the Viper and hello Randal Keith Orton.

I moaned into his lips as I felt him ease into me yet again for the night and briefly broke the kiss to stare at him. I used to see the dominant predator when I stared at him as he brought me to my edge but all I could see was the man I loved as he slowly made love to me.

I squeezed my fingers into his lower back and he kissed me again and I knew it was to ensure I didn't scream my lungs out. If I wasn't so turned on by him and completely naked when he had ambushed me I would have probably denied him on account of Alanna being down the hallway but just like he was addicted to me I was addicted to my Viper.
