Coming Home to Tragedy
Disclaimer- I don't own anyone in relation to the WWE.
Summary- John's a Marine who returns home to his husband and children to find things aren't quite how he left them. Now he's forced to fight and rescue his family before it's too late. Slash. Mpreg.
So I've spent the last three nights staying up to finish final projects and shit and I have The Marine and 12 Rounds playing in the backgroud in an attempt to keep me awake and now I have this storyline stuck in my head. So I decided to write it..
The sound of a child's laughter was the best thing Randy had ever heard. He smiled to himself as he finished cleaning the dishes in the sink. Dinner had been a quiet event, the boys ate all their chicken strips and Randy chatted with his family. A loud squeal escaped from the living room followed by a set of loud giggles. Randy chuckled to himself and shook bubbles off his hands and rinsed them, he set the clean dishes in the drying rack to let them dry, a small smile crossed his lips as he imagined his husband's voice telling him that they have a dishwasher so that he doesn't have to wash them by hand. Randy shook his head and a gave a small laugh, his hand gently reaching for a the dog tags that hung on a chain around his neck.
Randy sighed and walked into the living room, he stood in the doorway for a second taking in the sight before him, his two babies – they were growing up so fast- we're on the couch listening to their grandpa tell a story, Randy's mom was sitting in on one of the other couches, she smiled and laughed as her husband paused making the boys gasp and begged to know what happened next. Randy laughed as his dad gave some answer and the boys squealed in happiness, their giggles growing as their Grandpa attacked them with tickles. Randy smiled, he loved his babies, he looked at his older brother and his husband. Hunter and Shawn had been married for just over six years now and we're happier then every, Randy's smile deflated a little he missed his husband. Out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of a picture on the mantle above the blazing fireplace, the man in the picture had a buz cut and was dressed in army greens. He closed the distance between himself and the man in the picture, gently he ran his fingers over the face in the picture, he leaned into the arm that wrapped itself around his shoulder.
"Have you heard from John lately?" Hunter asked as he looked at the photo of the smiling man.
"Not since they were relocated. That was two months ago. All my letters keep getting returned." Hunter squeezed his brothers shoulder in comfort.
"I'm sure he's perfectly fine, Ran, John's too stubborn to leave you raising these hooligans by yourself." Randy chuckled and nodded.
"I know but it's still hard." Hunter nodded and gave his brother a hug, being mindful of Randy's slight baby bump. The man was just entering his fourth month.
Randy pulled away when he felt a tug on his pant leg, he looked down and found Kade standing at his feet, Hunter scooped his nephew up off the ground, Kade ignored his uncle and held his arms out of his Daddy, Randy took his son and sat him on his hip, Kaiden left the couch and ran over to where his Daddy was, Hunter scooped him up and held him.
"Daddy, we're tired." Randy kissed his sons foreheads.
"Okay babies, tell your dad goodnight, then you can say goodnight to Grandma and Grandpa and your uncles." Randy turned so that Kade was facing John's picture on the mantle, Hunter did the same bringing Kaiden closer to the picture. Both kids kissed the tips of their fingers and pressed them against John's photo, and waved at the smiling man.
"Night, Night. We miss you, Love you daddy." Randy smiled as they said the words in perfect unison, the twins were only 4 years old and impossible to tell apart. Both had sandy blonde soft spiked hair and perfect crystal blue eyes. Everyday Randy swore he could see more and more of John in both of them.
"Come home soon." Both whispered and pressed another kiss against the picture, Randy kissed Kade's head and set him down on his feet, Kaiden got a kiss on his forehead as well before Hunter placed him on his feet.
"Say goodnight to everyone else then we'll go upstairs and pick out your jammies." Randy watched them both run over to his parents and were scooped up into cuddles.
Randy smiled once more at John's photo, running his hand over his belly.
"Night night, Grammy and Grandpy." The Orton's smiled and kissed their grandchildren before sending them over to Shawn and Hunter. The boys quickly said their goodbyes and walked over to Randy.
"I'll be back in a second." Randy held hands with each twin and led them up the stairs to their bedroom, Kade and Kaiden ran over to their dressers and picked out which jammies they wanted to wear, Kade chose blue dinosaurs and Kaiden chose green race cars. Randy helped them each get changed and then they brushed their teeth. Randy herded them out of the bathroom and back to their room, he helped each of them get into their beds, two race car beds. He sat on the edge of Kaiden's bed, after each of them had been tucked in.
"Daddy, when's dad coming home?" Randy sighed and wiped his hands on his jeans, they asked the same question every night, they knew their daddy was helping fight against bad guys but they didn't understand why they couldn't see him everyday, and why he wasn't there to tuck them in every night.
"I don't know babies, hopefully soon." Both boys frowned, "Hey none of that, he'll come back as soon as he can."
"Daddy, will dad be here for parents day?" Randy quickly scanned his mind for the date of Parent's day, it was in two weeks. Before John had been deployed again early last year, they had signed the boys up for a pre-school, so that Randy could have time to get stuff done during the day without them running around and causing trouble.
"I don't know baby, he'll try to be here but if he can't be here, I can still come with you guys." they still frowned.
"We know but we want dad to be there."
"I know, loves. Okay time to go to sleep. Tomorrow we'll go the park after we do a little shopping." The boys smiled and snuggled down it their beds. Randy straighten Kaiden's blanket and kissed him on the forehead.
"Love you, Kaiden, get some sleep."
"Love you, daddy." Randy straightened Kade's blanket and kissed him on the forehead.
"Love you, Kade, get some sleep."
"Love you, daddy." Randy left the room making sure to turn the hallway light on and close their door over a little but enough that the light could still shine into the room.
Randy stood outside their room for a second before heading downstairs to his family. Randy sat down on the couch beside his mother, letting her cuddle him for a little while before they announced that they should be leaving. Randy stood up and walked them to the door, he gave his parents a hug and his mother a kiss on the cheek before giving both Shawn and Hunter a hug, he stood in the doorway watching them leave. He waved one last time as they disappeared from view. Randy closed the front door making sure to lock it before turning all the lights off and heading upstairs to his and John's empty bedroom. Randy sighed and got ready for bed, tomorrow would begin to soon. Randy rolled onto his side and studied the picture of John on his nightstand, he ran his fingers over John's face a small smile tugging at his lips.
"Miss you so much Johnny, the boys need you to come home soon, I need you to come home soon. I love you babe." He pulled the blankets up to his chin and turned off the light, his eyes adjusting and once again finding John's face in the dark. "Be safe."
