AJ Orton had been married to Randy Orton for seventeen years. They were high school sweethearts and had a seventeen year old daughter named Katie. AJ owned a professional dance studio. Randy was a very successful surgeon at a hospital in San Francisco, California. They had moved to California when Katie was two. AJ and Randy used to be so happy together. Over the last year or so they'd hit what some might call a rut in there marriage. AJ thought it was because they'd been together so long. AJ just finished her afternoon class and was in her office. There was a knock on the doorframe.

"Come in." AJ said. She looked up and saw her best friend Barbara. Barbara was a teacher at AJ's studio but they'd been friends for fifteen years. "Hey."

"Hi." "Any big plans for the weekend?"

"Not really." "Same old stuff."

"Are you and Randy doing any better?"

"No." "If things don't change, I'm thinking about filling for divorce." "I don't wanna do that." "It would kill Katie." "It would kill me to, I know it seems like we've had nothing but problems for a long time but I love him." She said tearfully.

"Aw, I know." "I remember when I first met you guys." "You couldn't keep your hands off each other."

"Yeah we used to be so passionate with each other." "I thought we'd for sure end up having another baby."

"Anyway have a nice weekend."

"You to."

As AJ was driving home she got back to the moment that changed her and Randy's lives forever.

Flashback

AJ was in the high school gym. It was one week before graduation. Randy came in.

"AJ baby I have great news." He said happily. "I got into Stanford."

"That's so great honey." She said trying to sound happy.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"I know something's wrong." "Did Julliard not accept you?"

"No." "I got in."

"You did?" "Well that's great."

"I'm not going."

"What?" "Why?"

"Randy, I'm pregnant." "I'm scared."

"Come here." He hugged her. "It's ok." "We'll figure this out together."

"I want the baby."

"Me to." "More then anything."

End Of Flashback

AJ was home in the kitchen. She heard the front door open.

"Mom, I'm home." Katie said.

"In here." Katie came into the kitchen.

"Hi."

"Hi." "How was your day?"

"Good." "Can we get pizza tonight?"

"Sure."

"When's dad coming home?"

"Not till about nine."

At 9:05 Randy's Mercedes pulled into the driveway. The front door opened.

"Hi guys." He said coming into the kitchen. "Sorry I'm late." AJ and Katie were eating pizza.

"How was your day dad?" Katie asked.

"Good."

"I don't know how you do it." "I'd vomit at the very site of blood."

"Great dinner conversation Katie." "What kind of pizza did you get?"

"Half and half." AJ said. "Pepperoni for me and Katie and all that gross stuff you on the other side."

"Thank you." He kissed the top of her head.

Later that night AJ was in bed. Randy had just came in and got in bed next to her.

"Wanna have sex?" AJ asked.

"Not tonight." "I'm tired."

"Ok." She said frustrated.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Are you mad at me?"

"Randy what happened to all that passion we used to have?" "I remember when I could barely get through the door without you trying to take my clothes off." "What happened to the couple that was so hot for each other, that we did it at the drive-in in the backseat while your parents were in the front." "The couple that used to have sex on the washing machine hoping Katie wouldn't wake up before we were done."

"That was when we were kids AJ."

"So what, now we should just move into an old folks home?"

"AJ please." "I'm tired."

"Goodnight." She rolled over and went to sleep.

The next day AJ was dusting. She saw a picture from when she and Randy graduated. It was her, Randy and there best friend John Cena.

Flashback

All the graduates had just been called. Randy stood up and took AJ's hand.

"Come on." He said.

"Where are we going?"

"Just come on." Randy went up to the podium with AJ behind him. "Before we all go I have a few things to say." "Last week I learned that I'm going to be a father." "There's only one thing that would make me happier." He turned to AJ and got down on one knee. He got a little box from under his gown. "I want the woman carrying our child, to be my wife." He opened the box. AJ started to cry when she saw the ring. "April Jeanette Lee, will you marry me?"

"Yes." She said tearfully. He put the ring on her finger. They kissed.

End Of Flashback

The doorbell rang. AJ went to get it. She opened and door and gasped.

"Oh my god." It was John Cena.

"Hey shorty." John said smiling.

"Hey." They hugged. "It's great to see you."

"It's great to see you to."

"Come in. He went in holding a big duffel bag over his shoulder. He put his bag down.

"You look great."

"Thanks." "Randy come here." Randy came down the hall.

"Oh shit." Randy said excitedly when he saw John. They hugged. "How have you been?"

"Good."

"What's it been fifteen years?"

"At least."

"Are you still in the Army?"

"No I've been out for about a year."

"What are you doing in California?"

"I just got to town last night." "I was wondering if I could crash on your couch for awhile?"

"I'll go you one better." "You can stay in the guesthouse in back."

"Thanks man."

"No problem."

It was getting into the evening. AJ, Randy and John were sitting in the kitchen talking about the old days.

"So AJ what do you do now?" John asked.

"I own my own dance studio."

"Really?" "That's great." "So all this working you two are doing, is that what's wrong?"

"What?" Randy said.

"Well normally AJ's always sitting on your lap or you guys are being all lovey, dovey with each other." "You haven't even kissed since I've been here." AJ and Randy looked at each other. The front door opened.

"Mom, dad, I'm home." Katie said.

"Katie, do you remember our friend John?" Randy asked.

"Yeah the really hot one in the graduation picture with you and mom." Katie said as she came into the kitchen.

"Thanks Katie." John said smiling

"I have to um, go upstairs and yeah." She said blushing. She went upstairs.

Later that night John was in the guesthouse. AJ knocked on the patio door and came in.

"I brought you some towels." AJ said.

"Thanks." She put them in the bathroom. "Did Katie ever come back downstairs?"

"Yeah."

"That was funny."

"I guess you still have it when it comes to the ladies."

"I guess so." "It's great to be with you guys again."

"It's great to have you here."

"You look exactly the same."

"Except older right?"

"You're not old." "You're beautiful." He said smiling.

"Thanks John." "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."
