A circumstance has many meanings but the one that applies most to Nicole James aka Nicki is an incident or an occurrence. People come from all different walks of life and have been through different circumstances in their lifetime. Nicki's circumstance is that her 7 year old son; Judson was diagnosed with neuroblastoma a cancer most commonly found in children 5 years or younger forming in the nerve cells and the adrenal glands. At 5 years old Judson was diagnosed after his doctor found a malignant tumor near his adrenal glands. Nicki has been by her son's side as he has been fighting this disease for two years. Nicki found herself in a loveless marriage after 5 years with a man named Scott. Scott started off as a wonderful husband when they first got married but the day Judson was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma was when he started to change. He became an abusive alcoholic and had numerous affairs behind Nicki's back. It was over shortly after Judson became sick and ever since Scott has had no interest in their son unless it is convenient for him. The only thing Nicki wants is for her son to get better.
John Cena on the other hand comes from a different circumstance in life. John Cena is the top WWE superstar working 300 plus days a year. He got caught up in the life of a superstar. He travelled almost every night of the week which meant a new woman every night of the week. He fell hard into a lifestyle he never planned to. His career although he loves it cost him everything. It cost him his wife, his marriage and his family. John Cena didn't believe in time off and believed in giving everything to his career to make his fans happy but never stopped to think if his wife was happy. After 2 years of marriage it was over for them because his wife couldn't handle it anymore and John's infidelity caught up to him. He decided to focus solely on his career and nothing else. It was all that he had left.
"So John, are you coming out to eat with us before the show?" asks Randy as they are getting ready for their RAW show in Montgomery, Alabama.
"I wish I could but I'm granting a wish today," says John.
"You're granting a wish?" asks Randy. "Another one?"
"Yes. I love to grant wishes. I love to put a smile on those kids' faces. They go through so much and if they can have that one night where they don't have to worry about their circumstance because they are getting their one and only wish granted I am happy. I just want to make them happy," he says.
"I think it's great that you grant so many wishes. What's the story this time?" asks Randy.
"It's a 7 year old boy named Judson who is fighting Neuroblastoma. He really wants to come to a RAW show and meet me so tonight he is getting front row seats to RAW, meeting me and getting a backstage pass to the show," says John.
"That's awesome," says Randy, "but I just feel so bad for kids that are sick. Isn't Neuroblastoma a type of nerve cancer?"
"Yes," says John. "I feel so bad for these kids that's why I grant their wishes to give them so much joy in their lives. Tonight I am going to give this kid the best night of his life," says John with a smile.
Meanwhile Nicki is at their house getting Judson ready for his big night. "Are you excited, Buddy?" asks Nicki as she helps Judson button his pants.
"Yes," says Judson. "I'm really going to meet John Cena?"
"You're really going to meet John Cena," says Nicki with a smile seeing the joy on her son's face. "You know, Judson, this is the first time in 2 years I have ever seen you smile like that."
"That's because I'm happy, Mama," he says with a smile showing his toothless smile. "John Cena is my hero! When I am healed of cancer I'm going to be a WWE superstar just like him."
"When you're healed of cancer you can be whatever you want to be," says Nicki with a smile. The last two years have been the hardest for Nicki. Her husband abused her, cheated on her and she left him. She had to do what was best for their son. She has watched her son go through radiation, chemo and waiting for a bone marrow match. The Chemo and radiation did what they could but never completely healed him. He's been in and out of hospitals and she lost her job because she took so much time off and the medical bills are piling up. It's been a tough two years for both of them. Judson deserves this night and Nicki isn't complaining because she has developed a crush on John Cena herself.
"Why are you crying, Mama?" Judson asks.
"I'm just happy for you," she says wiping away her tears. "Are you feeling okay?"
"I'm fine, Mama," he says. "I promise."
"Okay. I'm just checking, Buddy."
"Well, I am fine," says Judson. "Can we go now?"
"Just a minute," says Nicki. "I have to get ready and then we can go."
"That's going to take forever," says Judson impatiently.
"It won't take that long," says Nicki with a smile as she goes to her room to get dressed. She secretly wants to dress herself up for once so that she can impress John Cena. It's a long shot but it's worth a try. Anything could happen but she wasn't counting on it.
After she is finished she walks out to the living room in a black halter shirt and a pair of jeans with holes on the knees and her dark brown hair pulled up into a messy bun. "It's about time," says Judson. "Let's go, Mama!"
"Okay," says Nicki as she grabs her purse with a smile.
When Nicki and Judson arrive at the arena they are greeted by backstage security and given their backstage passes. The security guard takes Nicki and Judson down the hallway to John Cena's locker room. Judson is so excited he can barely contain it. He is bouncing around like little boys do when they are excited. The smile is so big and this is the happiest that Nicki has seen her son in a long time. The security guard knocks on the door and John Cena answers. "Judson is here," says the security guard.
John walks out of the door and looks down at Judson. "Hey there, Buddy," he says extending his hand.
"Hi," says Judson shyly but looking at John with his big brown eyes he inherited from his mom.
"You don't have to be shy," says John with a smile. "What is your name?"
"Judson," he says with a nervous smile.
"Judson, it's nice to meet you," he says with a smile. "Would you like to come into my locker room? I have some stuff for you."
"Sure," says Judson, "Mama, can I?" he asks looking up at Nicki.
"Yes mom…" says John taken back by Nicki's beauty, "can he?"
"That's fine with me," she says with a smile feeling nervous herself.
John opens his door and leads Judson and Nicki into his locker room. "This is so cool," says Judson with so much excitement.
"So," says John, "I'm sorry for being rude but what is your name?" he asks Nicki.
"Nicki," she says with her southern accent which is a completely opposite to John's Boston accent.
"Well, Nicki, it's nice to meet you," says John with a smile as he shakes her hand. He almost forgets the reason why she's there because he is so mesmerized by her beauty.
John is quickly snapped out of his thoughts when Judson says, "so."
"So," says John as he finally lets go of Nicki's hand. "I have some things I want to give you." He walks over and grabs his gifts for Judson. "I heard that you have been wanting one of these," he says handing him an autographed John Cena Brawlin' Buddy.
"Yes!" says Judson with a smile. "Look Mama!"
"I see, Buddy," says Nicki with a smile. "What do you say?"
"Thank-you," says Judson with a smile.
"You're welcome," says John just before he pulls out an autographed John Cena shirt and a wristband and sweatband set, "and these are for you."
"Thank-you!" says Judson with an even bigger smile. Nicki's heart breaks at the happiness of her son. This is a dream come true.
"Do you want to put it on?" asks John.
"Yes," he says with a smile. John helps him put his gear on.
"Now you look like John Cena's twin," says John.
"Hear that, Mama? I'm John Cena's twin?"
"I heard," she says with a smile before she says, "Thank-you."
"No problem," says John. "And Judson, I heard you really want to see a RAW show live so I have front row seats for you and your mom tonight for the show."
"AWESOME!" says Judson. "Thank-you," he says hugging him. "This is the best night of my life!" Nicki feels the tears burn her eyes as she watches her son so happy. He deserves this after all the pain he's been through and everything he went through in the last two years.
John, Judson and Nicki take some pictures together before the show and Judson's joy is endless it's as if he has forgotten his pain and his disease. He is so happy to be with John Cena. Before Judson and Nicki leave the locker room John stops her and says, "So I was wondering if you and Judson would like to go get something to eat after the show."
"I don't know," says Nicki.
"Mama, Please," begs Judson. "Can we please?"
"Please," says John. "Can you?"
"Fine," says Nicki, "we'll go out to eat with you after the show."
"Wonderful," says John. "Just meet me back here after the show and we will eat out somewhere," he says.
"Okay," says Nicki. "We will see you after the show," she says with a smile before walking out of the room. Her heart is racing as they are escorted to their seats.
