It had been two years since the untimely and tragic death of Mackenize Cena's husband, John Cena. Even though so much time had past Mackenize was still heartbroken. She'd been on antidepressants since it happened. There were still many nights where she cried herself to sleep. After John's death she dropped out of college. She still worked at the diner but only part-time. Emily was now sixteen. Alexandria was two. Mackenize and Randy Orton were now best friends. He'd been a support system since John died. Mackenize and Alex were at home. Mackenize was in the kitchen.

"Daddy on the TV, mommy." Alex said. Mackenize went into the living room. "12 Rounds" was on. "Hi daddy." "Love you."

"Yep there's daddy." Alex kissed the TV.

"I give daddy kissys."

"That's sweet." The front door opened. Emily walked in.

"Emmy. Alex said running over to her. "Hi Emmy."

"Hi Alex." Emily said. "Being a good girl?"

"Yeah." "Emmy play with me."

"Later I promise." "I have homework."

"How was your day?" Mackenize asked.

"Good." "When's dinner?"

"I'm ordering it." "We're getting take out chicken."

"Call me when it gets here." "I'll be upstairs."

"Ok." Emily went upstairs. "Hey Alex."

"What mommy?"

"Guess who I talked to today."

"Who?"

"Uncle Randy."

"Why I not get to talk?"

"You were napping." "He's gonna come over later."

"He is?"

"Yep."

"Yay! "I not see him forever."

"I know." "It's been a long time."

A few hours later the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." Emily said. She opened the door. "Hi Randy."

"Hi Emily."

"Come on in." He went in. They hugged.

"How've you been?"

"Good." "I made the honor roll again."

"That's great."

"Uncle Wandy!" "Uncle Wandy!" Alex said excitedly jumping up and down.

"Hey you." He picked her up. "Did you miss me?"

"Yeah."

"I missed you to." "Hi Mackenize." He said looking at Mackenize.

"Hey Randy." She said.

Randy had been there for a few hours.

"Ok Alex time to go to bed." Mackenize said.

"Uncle Wandy do it?"

"You want uncle Randy to put you in bed?"

"Yeah."

"He can if he wants to."

"I don't mind." He said. He picked Alex up. "Come on." "Say night night to your mommy."

"Night night mommy." She kissed her on the cheek. "Love you."

"I love you to." "Night night."

Five minutes later Randy came back down. He sat next to Mackenize on the couch.

"So what's new?" Mackenize asked.

"My divorce was finally finalized last month."

"Good I'm glad."

"Me to all the negotiations and custody was six months of hell."

"I still can't believe Sam did that to you."

"Yeah I couldn't either at first." "If her tennis instructor's what she wants, she can have him."

"How's Alanna taking it?"

"She's doing better with it."

"Good."

"Anything new with you?"

"Not a thing."

"Maybe you should think about getting back out there."

"Dating?"

"Yeah."

"I'm not ready yet."

"Mackenize, it's been two years." "John, wouldn't want you to be alone the rest of your life."

"I know but I still love him."

"You'll always love him." "That doesn't mean someday you can't love someone else to."

"I don't think there's anyone else for me." "The only person I want, I can't have."

"I think you'll find someone someday."

"Yeah well, I don't."

"I'm gonna go." She walked him to the door.

"It was nice seeing you."

"It was nice seeing you to." "I'll call you."

"Ok." They hugged. "Bye."

"Bye."

After Randy left Mackenize went to bed. She had John's dog tags framed. They were on the bedroom wall. About an hour after Mackenize went to bed, Emily walked into her room. Mackenize was asleep. She had a tissue in her hand. Playing on the TV was Mackenize and John's wedding video. Like she did many nights before, Emily turned off the TV, threw away the tissue and covered Mackenize up.
