Chapter 1: Happy Birthday!

Randy's POV

"Happy birthday Randy!"

"What . . ." I mumble incoherently as I slowly open my eyes. The sunlight practically pours into the room from the window as I blink my sight back into focus, my eyes searching for the one person who the voice belonged to. Once I found her, I let a small smile grace my lips as my soul-mate stared at me with those piercing blue eyes of hers. "What did you just say to me baby? I didn't hear it the first time. . . Care to repeat?"

"Well . . . let me rephrase it for you," she tells me with a smirk as she crawls back onto the bed, her body only covered by the blue shirt and shorts that somehow matched her eyes. "Happy 34th birthday Mr. Viper! Congratulations, you are officially one year older than you were ago today. How do you feel hmm?"

"I still feel sleepy 'Manda . . ." I tell her with a smirk as I address her by her pet name. "Don't you remember . . . we had to work the late shift at WrestleMania Access yesterday?"

"Oh yeah . . . WrestleMania XXX is only five days away. . ." she tells me with a shrug as she lays her head on my bare chest. "Our schedules are packed throughout this week."

"Yeah . . . that's why I want to get as much sleep as I can get." I tell her tiredly as I wrap my arms around her toned waist.

"But Randy, you're a vampire," she tells me with a chuckle. "I thought vampires, aka us, didn't get tired hmm?"

"Well . . . after signing hundreds of autographs and memorabilia at last night's fan event while low on blood, this vampire you're talking to is very tired. . . ." I tell her with a shrug as I weave my fingers with hers.

"I guess it's not easy being WWE World Heavyweight Champion huh?" she asks me with a smirk on her face as she raises an eyebrow.

"On some days, it's easy as pie . . ." I tell her with a thoughtful look on my face as I looked up at the ceiling. "But on others, it's a ton of work, even for a vampire like me."

"I see . . ." she tells me as she props herself on her elbows. "Well after WrestleMania on Sunday, you won't have to worry about that now do ya?"

"Wait . . . what are you talking about?" I ask her bluntly, her statement instantly getting my attention. "What do you mean I won't have to worry about being champion after Sunday?"

"Didn't you read the email Creative sent out to the roster last night?" she asks me curiously as she begins to straddle my waist.

"Considering the fact that as soon as we came back to our suite, I stripped myself down to my boxers and went to bed . . . no, I didn't read the email Creative sent out last night," I tell her as I shake my head. "But I'm guessing you did."

"Well yeah . . . I read it while you were snoring up a storm right next to me," she tells me as she picks up her phone. "Turns out you will be dropping the title to Daniel on the grandest stage of them all babe. Officially, including today, you have six more days till you have to relinquish the throne, oh great champion."

"Well . . . at least I won't be giving it up to Batista . . ." I say as I scowl at the thought. "If he became the new champion, I would definitely RKO him right off the stage, trust me."

"Now that's something I'd pay to see," she tells me with a chuckle as she crosses her arms at me. "Unfortunately, it won't be a good day for me Sunday either."

"You're not winning the Divas Invitational Sunday huh?" I ask her knowingly as I cross my arms.

"Nope; AJ is retaining her title that night, but there has been a rumor going around saying that Creative is going to have her drop the title to that NXT diva Paige on the post-WrestleMania Raw the next night." she tells me knowingly as she put her phone back on the dresser.

"The NXT Women's Champion becoming the new Divas Champion? Well that's newsworthy," I say with a small smirk on my face as I watched Amanda's face keenly.

"Yep; if she wins it Monday, she would be the youngest Diva to do so; and the first to hold both titles at the same time . . ." she tells me thoughtfully. "Oh the nostalgia . . ."

"Remembering your first title win huh?" I say with a smirk on my face as I begin to sit up.

"You can never forget your first championship win Randy. The memory will stick with you for life, and if it doesn't, then there is plenty of video around that will give you a refresher . . ." she tells me with a shrug as she wrapped her arms around my neck. "But let's forget about WrestleMania and all the rumors surrounding it for today babe. . . Today is your birthday Mr. Viper. Hunter and Steph already promised us the day off so we could celebrate your day. So . . . what do you want to do first?"

"Well . . . I was planning to sleep in just a little more today, but I feel wide awake right now," I tell her with a shrug as I place my hands on her hips. "So . . . I guess I just have to move on to the next thing on my agenda."

I quickly spin us around so that I was on top of her and she was the one lying on the soft mattress, a bemused smirk appearing on her face as I looked at her beautiful face before moving my eyes up and down her sexy body.

"Hmm . . . I think I know where this is going . . ." she tells me with a smirk as she follows my gaze with her own eyes.

"You know me so well babe . . ." I tell her with a chuckle as I look up at her face. "You know what I want for my birthday, and that is you. We're not pushing it back any longer babe. . ."

"I know, I know. Don't worry, you'll get your wish babe," she tells me with a smirk as I loosen my grip around her wrists. "Just not right now . . . later."

"How later?" I ask her gruffly as I narrowed my eyes at her.

"Tonight . . ." she tells me with a smirk as I rolled off her. "I promise you can have me tonight, and I won't even question you during the entire duration."

"You promise?" I ask with an eyebrow raised as I kept an arm around her waist.

"I promise; diva's honor." she tells me as she draws an x over her heart.

"Alright, tonight it is . . ." I tell her as I shake my head in agreement. "But you better not question me at all, or else."

"Or else what?" she asks me with a chuckle, her fangs slightly appearing from behind her upper lip. "What will you do to me if I do question you Mr. Viper?"

"Well . . . I'll keep most of the details to myself," I tell her with a smirk as I leaned over to her ear. "But I will say this one detail: be prepared to walk a little differently in the morning."

"Oh I'm scared . . ." she tells me sarcastically as she shakes her head. "Is that the best you can do?"

"You've known me since we were little kids Amanda," I tell her with a smirk as I used her real name. "You know what I am capable of. You may be my mate, but that doesn't meant I'll go easy on ya. Oh no, I'll be doing just the opposite. Trust me: you will be moaning and yelling my name so loud that other hotel guests will be calling management on us."

"Oh now wouldn't that be the headline going through the roster come morning . . ." she tells me with a shake of her head. "Extra, extra, read all about it. Management gets complaints of snakes fucking each other in a hotel room!"

I couldn't help but let out a loud laugh at her comment. Once I got over my small laughing fit, I turn to her with a smirk on my face as a bemused smirk graced her face.

"Yeah . . . that would be gossip worthy wouldn't it?" I ask with a chuckle as I peck her cheek. "But as wrestlers working in a competitive wrestling industry, isn't getting noticed and making headlines a part of our job description?"

"Not when it involves personal matters like us having sex . . ." she tells me with a knowing look on her face. "That is just between you and me, and no one else."

"Hmm . . . fair enough, looks like I'm going to have to change my plans a bit for tonight . . ." I say with a smirk as I move some of her hair from her face. "I promise that what we do tonight we'll not get hotel management on our asses. Wrestler's honor."

"Since you promise, I think that's good enough," she tells me with a smirk on her face. "So . . . enough of what we're going to do tonight. What do you want to do now?"

"Well . . . since I can't get my present until later tonight, I guess I'll just sneak a taste now!" I tell her before latching my lips onto hers. I feel her hands touch the sides of my face as I pulled her on top of me, wrapping my arms around her snuggly as I continued my assault on her soft lips. Even though we have known each other for a long time, we never became mates until last spring, and that's when our relationship really started. As soon as our eyes changed that night outside of Chicago, we went from being best friends to boyfriend-girlfriend, and we never questioned it. We just let nature take its' course, and even though it has a bumpy one (a certain Romanian bastard comes to mind), we've stayed strong the entire way.

"Hmm . . . the vampire benefit of not needing to breathe as much as normal people really can come in handy huh?" 'Manda asks me with a smirk as we break our kiss.

"Being a vampire does have its' perks . . ." I say in agreement as the sounds of someone knocking on our door grabs our attention. "Now who the hell could that be?"

"Maybe it's a crazy fan girl who managed to get past security and just wants to wish you a happy birthday. It has happened to you before." she tells me with a shrug as she crosses her arms against my chest.

"Yeah . . . that was the beginning of what I soon found to be a crazy 26th birthday," I tell her with a thoughtful look on my face as I felt her breaking out of my grip. "Wait . . . you're actually going to answer it?"

"Well yeah . . . and I have a good reason to answer it too." she tells me with a smirk as she points to her temple.

"You and those psychic powers of yours . . ." I grumble with a smirk as I let her leave my grip. "Don't you ever get tired of it?"

"It's a blessing and a curse . . . What can I say?" she tells me with a smirk as she walks over to the door. "Now, while I go get the door, you go and put on some pants."

"It's my birthday! You can't make me!" I say with a playful scowl on my face as I threw my pillow at her.

"I have psychic powers! Of course I can!" she tells me defiantly as she places her hands on her hips. "Put on some pants, or else I'll send an illusion of spiders right on your ass!"

"You wouldn't dare!" I say with shock on my face as I watched her leave.

"I would!" she calls back as her silent footsteps start to make noise on the tiled floor.

"Even on my birthday, she still is mean to be . . ." I say with a sheepish smirk on my face as I grabbed my discarded pants from off the floor. ". . . But damn she looks sexy while doing it."

Normal POV

Amanda walked out of the bedroom and over to the door to answer, a continuous knocking sound coming from off the wooden entrance as she neared it.

"Okay! Okay! I'm coming!" called Amanda as she grabbed the doorknob before looking into the peephole. "Well this is unexpected!"

Amanda let a big small come across her face as she opened the door to let in Randy's parents, Bob and Elaine. Both of them had big grins on their faces as they looked at the diva before each of them gave her a hug in greeting.

"Oh Amanda, it's so good to see you again!" said Elaine with a smile on her face as she looked the diva up and down. "And I could already sense a change in you."

"Yes . . . vampire venom works wonders for the skin," said Amanda as Randy's parents walked further into the suite. "And it's all thanks to your son."

"I guess the time finally came huh?" asked Bob with a sheepish look on his face as he turned to the WWE's resident Anaconda.

"Yeah, but you can say we were actually . . . 'pushed' into the decision." said Amanda as she continued to stand beside the open door, just as Randy walked into the room bare chested, but with pants on.

"My birthday boy, how've you been!" exclaimed Elaine with a big smile on her face as she walked over to her son so she could give him a hug.

"Hey Mom, hey Dad! What are you guys doing here in New Orleans?" asked the Viper with a smile on his face as he greeted his parents with hugs of his own.

"We've come down here to celebrate your birthday," said Bob as he patted his son on the back. ". . . And we've come to watch you compete in the main event on the grandest stage of them all Sunday. So yeah . . . you're going to be stuck with us for a few days."

"Well this is just great . . ." said Randy with a smirk as he crossed his arms.

"And it's just getting better . . ." called Amanda's twin sister Monica as she walked into the room, already dressed for the day. "Guess who I found wandering the hallways just now?"

As soon as she said her question, Randy's daughter Alanna ran into the room and straight to her father at human speed. Randy crouched down to the ground and picked her up in his arms, greeting her with a kiss to the cheek as she hugged her neck.

"Happy birthday daddy!" exclaimed the little girl as she hugged him with all her strength.

"Aw Alanna, you're here too?" asked Randy as his smirk grew even bigger as Amanda walked up to him.

"Sam thought it would be a good idea for Alanna to come down with us to help celebrate your birthday. She and Josh couldn't make it, but they did send a gift, along with Calypso and Akbar," answered Elaine as she greeted Monica with a hug. "How are you Monica?"

"I'm doing well. I've just came over here to tell 'Manda that everything is set for you know who's birthday party tonight." said Monica with a smirk as she nodded her head Randy's way.

"You're actually throwing me a party?" Randy asked the twins in mock shock as he shifted Alanna in his arms. "Aw, you shouldn't have."

"We know you're not one for big parties, but hey! You're only 34 for one year," said Amanda as she kissed him on the cheek. "Besides, we're in New Orleans. One of the biggest party capitals in all the U.S! We couldn't not throw you a big party!"

"Oh joy . . ." grumbled Randy as he shook his head while Alanna looked at him unsurely.

"Monica, when do you girls want our son for the party you've planned tonight?" asked Bob as he turned to the younger twin with an eyebrow raised.

"We want him by eight. Anything before that is up to you," said Monica as he quickly walked over to the door. "Now if you excuse me, I have to go help Lita pick out a dress to wear to the Hall of Fame ceremony on Saturday."

"Oh yeah . . . she's one of the inductees this year. Tell her I said congratulations!" said Bob as he sent her a small wave of his hand.

"Will do! See you guys later!" called Monica as she walked out the door, closing the door behind her with a small thud.

"Hmm . . . son, you don't have work today do you?" asked Elaine as she shot her eldest son a questioning look.

"Nope, Hunter and Steph gave me and Amanda the day off today." answered Randy as he put his daughter back on the ground.

"Good . . . and since you won't be needed for your party till eight tonight, we have you for practically the whole day." said Elaine as she gestured to herself, her husband, and her granddaughter. "Sorry Randy, but you're stuck with us."

"I guess it can't be helped . . ." said Randy with a small shrug as he a loud knocking sound came from the door again, gaining everyone's attention inside the room. "Who is it?"

"Who else asshole? Don't you recognize your own brother's voice?" called the cocky voice from behind the other side of the door.

"Nathaniel Orton, watch your language! We have a little child in here!" exclaimed Elaine as Bob held back a chuckle.

"I'm only seven," grumbled Alanna as she crossed her arms. "I'm getting older."

"We can see that honey," said Randy with a smirk as Amanda walked over to answer the door. "You have gotten taller since the last time I saw you."

"Hold up! Was that Mom?" asked Nate in disbelief as Amanda opened the door to reveal his shocked face.

"Yes indeed Sherlock," said Becky as she walked into the doorway. "And judging from the disapproving look on her face, she's not too happy with your use of language just now."

"No I am not . . ." said Elaine as she shook her head.

"Someone's in trouble!" said Alanna with a chuckle as she quickly ran over to her aunt and uncle.

"Becky! Nate! You're here in town too I see . . ." said Randy with a smirk as he looked at his siblings.

"Well yeah . . . we wanted to celebrate your birthday with you this year bro!" said Nate as he hugged his father. "I just didn't expect Mom, Dad, or Alanna to be here too.

"Today has been full of plenty of surprises," said Randy with a smirk as Amanda walked over to him. "And it isn't even noon yet."

"Amanda, you wouldn't have a birthday party planned for our resident Viper here, do ya?" asked Becky with a smirk as she held her niece in her arms.

"It's set for eight tonight. I'll tell you the details later." said Amanda as she crossed her arms.

"Can I come?" asked Alanna as she looked at her father hopefully.

"Sorry honey; adults only." sad Randy as he shook his head. "But I promise we'll do something you want to do tomorrow."

"Promise?" asked Alanna as she shot him her own version of his signature Viper glare.

"I promise." said Randy as he shook his head. . "And if I don't keep that promise, I'll owe you a new doll."

"Oh; she may only be seven years old, but she has a pretty decent Viper glare." said Nate as he observed the stare for himself.

"Like father, like I daughter I suppose," said Bob with a chuckle as Elaine took a photo of the whole scene before them. "Hey, why don't you two get ready and meet us downstairs so we can head out for breakfast. It'll be mine, and Nate's treat."

"WHY ME?" asked Nate in complete shock as he turned to his father.

"Consider it punishment for cursing around Alanna." said Bob as he pointed to his granddaughter.

"You also owe me a quarter for my swear jar." said Alanna as she followed her aunt over to the exit.

"You still have that?" asked Nate as he turned to his niece. "Of course, Josh lets out swears words once in a while. And daddy . . . well . . ."

"I've been learning to swear less . . ." Randy mumbled guiltily as he looked away. "I've been curbing my tongue.

"Yeah . . . and we all know how he's been curbing it." said Nate as he nodded his head Amanda's way.

"Good, now you owe Alanna two quarters for her swear jar," said Elaine as she walked over to the door, with Bob right behind her.

"I didn't swear that time!" said Nate in his defense as he followed his family out the door.

"Yes, but you were hinting at something naughty, and when you mention things potentially naughty around Alanna, I consider that a swear." said Elaine as she and Bob walked out the door. Nate let out a loud whine before following the rest of his family out the door, leaving Amanda and Randy in their wake as they stood in the middle of their suite.

"Well, you got to love your family huh?" said Amanda with a smirk as she looked at her mate with a grin on her face.

"You have no idea . . ." said Randy as he turned to her, just in time to see her already making her way back to their room. "Hey! Where are you off to?"

"The bathroom will be mine!" cried Amanda as she disappeared at vampire speed.

"Oh no you don't!" exclaimed the Viper as he followed after her just as fast, but he was too late. As soon as he reentered their bedroom, she had already locked the bathroom door behind her.

"It's my birthday today!" said Randy as he walked over to the door. "I should be in their first!"

"Tough luck babe! Bwahahhahaha!" called Amanda from inside the room, with a mock evil laugh to match.

"Just wait until tonight. You won't be laughing then," said Randy with a smirk as he walked over to his suitcase to prepare his clothes for the day. "Happy birthday to me indeed . . ."

How's that for a first chapter huh! Nothing but a little time with the family to help usher in a birthday. Please review!
