A Family With Luck
Chapter 2:
A New Mom, A New Dog Collar, and Probably A New Maid
Brian, Briana, and Gretchen had left to go to school. Preston went to work at the races where he was part of a pit crew. John didn't like that Preston didn't go to college, but Preston decided that he it was just to much money that they didn't have.
Batista was getting the food ready as John parked the food truck they worked in. Their parking place was in front of a car wash. Batista and John where best friends and was also the godfather of Brian and Preston. They both had been working in the food truck business for a couple of years. It seemed that the only way high school drop outs could make money was by working in the fast food business.
"So today is Brian's birthday, when's the party?" asked Batista as he started cooking the burger meat
"At 6, I have to pick up the birth cake" said John as he started helping Batista take all the ingredients out.
"So is this going to be like every other party you throw where they have to close the block because everyone is at the party" said Batista
"You know all of us on the street are like a big family" said John
"Yeah I know" said Batista with a smile
"And why did you ask, acting like if you've never met me before" said John playfully punching Batista on the shoulder.
The line started forming outside the truck
"Alright its time to open up, remind me about the cake later cause sometimes I forget" said John
"No problem" said Batista as he got his little notebook where he wrote down he orders.
Meanwhile
Alex and Kelly where decorating with the neighbors around the whole neighborhood. Every time the Cena's had a party it was like a holiday for the neighborhood but that was because John had always helped everyone on the street. Everyone always went to John with there problems and John always found a way to help and solve them.
"So Alex….when are we going to go clubbing?" asked Kelly
"Kelly you know I don't like to go clubbing" said Alex
"Why not Alex, come on, we need to find someone for you, when was the last time you where on a date" asked Kelly as she and Alex walked inside the house.
"That's none of your business Kelly and anyways I cant, I'm to busy" said Alex as he started taking out ingredients from the fridge so they could start on the food they where going to serve in the party.
Kelly took out a bowl so she could start on the fruit salad she was going to make
"Doing what?" asked Kelly as she started cutting the melon into slices
"Taking care of this family, I wake up make everyone breakfast, wake up the kids, you, and John. After everyone leaves I start on the dishes, clean the house, fold the laundry, go to the store to buy groceries, go take Preston his lunch, come back start on dinner, go pick up Brian from school. Then when everyone's home we all eat, I wash the dishes when where done, start on the new batch of laundry so it will be ready in the morning, take a shower, then go to bed" said Alex as he started on the lasagna.
"But you can take one night off so you can have fun" said Kelly
"Kelly I don't need a night of to have fun, I have fun staying home with my family when all of us are together" said Alex
Kelly laughed and said "I bet you like staying home cause sometimes John falls asleep on your shoulder
Alex blushed and said "Kelly shut up, I love John he is a great father, he was a great husband to my husband, he is just great person over all, ok lets just leave it at that".
Alex looked at the time and saw that he should start on Preston's lunch
Kelly just smiled knowing that even if Alex denied it she new that Alex had a crush on John.
MEANWHILE
Leigh Anne Orton was walking out of the doctors office holding the folder that said that she was dying in her hands.
"What am I going to do?" she asked herself
She walked slowly over to where her chauffeur was standing. He was reading a magazine while he was standing next to the limo not noticing that Leigh Anne walked fast passed the limo
Leigh Anne didn't know where she was going or what she was going to do…
A WHILE LATER…
John and Batista where driving home. Today was a very slow day, there weren't that many customers so John decided that they should head home early.
As they drove over a bridge they saw an old lady that was putting her leg over the bridge.
"John look that lady's going to jump of the bridge!" shouted Batista
John took his eyes of the road and saw that Batista wasn't lying, there was an old lady that looked like she was about to jump of the bridge. John quickly pressed on the gas a parked his car in the middle of the road, got off, and ran to where the lady was.
"Hey Lady!, Hey Lady! What do you think your doing?" shouted John
The lady turned to see John and said "Don't come any close! don't come any closer".
John stopped in his tracks and said "Ma'am what do you think your doing, why would you do something like this?" asked John
Leigh Anne looked down and saw that it was a long fall to the bottom.
"You…you don't know what I'm going thru!" said Leigh Anne
John looked at the old lady with sadness
"Where all going thru bad thing right now…but that's no reason to do this" said John
"Go away! You don't what's happening in my life" said the lady
"No I might not now, but I do know that this isn't a way out" said John
"What's your name?" asked John
"Leigh Anne" said the old lady
Leigh Anne put her second leg over the edge
There was a crowed of people that where shocked at what this lady was about to do.
John walked closer to her and said "Think about your family! don't you have kids or friends" .
"NO! I don't have anybody, I never had any kids, I'm all alone!" she shouted back as she looked at John
"Well I'm sure that there someone who cares about you, a friend, a neighbor, a dog" said John
The lady just starred at him and said "I don't have anybody!". She started crying.
"Well…don't cry…don't do this, I'm sure you'll find someone that will care about you" said John
"No! it's to late" said the lady
"No it's not!…what about me….I …I care about you" John shouted
Leigh Anne looked at John confused
"What?" she asked
"I care about you! If I didn't then I wouldn't be stopping you from commending suicide" said John with a smile
The old lady looked at the young man, she couldn't believe that this young man that she just met was being so caring
"You know…I never had a mother" John said
The old lady just looked at him
"Me and my sister where left at an orphanage….and it's funny because you said you never had any kids…and since I never had a mom…how about we make a deal" said John
"What kind of deal?" asked the lady
"If you adopt me then I will care for you like the son you never had" said John with a sincere smile.
"what?" asked the lady
"I know, I know, who would want a over sized kid like me as there son right but atleast I'm already potty trained" said John as he smiled making the old lady laugh and smile
"Do we have a deal?" asked John as he walked closer to the old lady
The old lady just nodded
"Okay….mom…so how about you put your feet back on the ground" said John as he walked closer to the Leigh Anne
The lady tried to slowly put her feet back on the bridge but she looked down at the ground and started to feel lightheaded. She closed her eyes and fell
John ran to here before she fell
The only thing the lady was holding on to was John's hand
That was the only thing that was saving her from a painful death.
"Don't worry I got you" said John as he was holding on to the old lady
Leigh Anne opened her eyes expecting to be falling of the bridge but instead looked up to see the young man holding on to her hand.
She looked down and began to get dizzy
"Leigh Anne don't pass" said John
"Just let me fall, it wont matter if I die!" said Leigh Anne
"What? I went from having a mom to becoming an orphan again" said John
Leigh Anne just looked at John
"Come on Leigh-…I mean come one mom you promised, we already made a deal, are you going to let me be an orphan again" said John
Leigh Anne could think straight
"No but I just cant keep-" but before Leigh Anne finished her sentence John interrupted and said "I believe in you".
Leigh Anne looked deep into John's eyes that where full of care and concern.
Leigh Anne nodded and said "Ok..ok.."
John gave a strong pull and pulled Leigh Anne over the bridge and back to the ground holding her tight and giving her a kiss on the head.
"See I told you, you could do it Ma" said John
Everyone cheered.
John walked Leigh an over to where Batista and the food truck where.
"Are you o.k.?" said John
Leigh Anne felt a little dizzy and said "Yes. Yes…I just need to rest".
John carried his new mom into the food truck and laid her on the seat behind the passenger seat.
"Where are we going?" asked Batista as John got in the driver's seat and started driving over the bridge.
"We have to pick up Brian's birthday cake" said John with a smile
"What about the old lady that's passed out in the car?" asked Batista
"O, she's my new mom" John with a smile as he drove to the bakers to pick up the cake with Batista just laughing because he could believe what had just happened
MEANWHILE IN THE ORTON MANSION…..
Cody was sitting in the living room reading a magazine next to his and Randy's baby named "Jennifer".
Randy walked downstairs after he had finished taking his shower.
"Where my princess?" asked Randy as he walked down the stairs
Cody smiled and stood up saying "Here I am". Cody expected to get a hug from Randy so he opened his arms and closed his eyes.
"Not you " said Randy as he walked passed Cody, leaving Cody with a wide mouth open in shock.
" I'm talking about my little girl" said Randy as he picked up his baby, his little girl, his little white Pomeranian.
"Hi Jennifer, how have you been princess" said Randy as he picked her up and started petting her in his arms.
The little dog just barked and started licking Randy's face
"I love you two princess, look what came in the mail" said Randy as he took out a black box from his pocket
Cody was still shocked. He walked over to Randy and said is that "For Mommy?", referring to himself.
Randy put Jennifer back on the couch and said "NO!, this is for my princess".
Randy did respond, he opened the black box to reveal a diamond studded dog collar,
Cody walked over and said "Awwww! Princess look what daddy got you".
Randy put the collar around Jennifer's neck.
Cody took the white Pomeranian out of Randy's hand and walked over to the full length mirror they had in the living room. He started posing with the dog in his arms. "Aren't you lucky princess, to have a daddy that loves you so much" said Cody.
Randy joined in and started posing with Cody and the dog in front of the mirror.
The phones started ringing as they continued to pose.
It kept ringing, and wouldn't stop.
Randy was getting annoyed because nobody picked it up so he shouted "Melina! Get, answer that damn phone!".
In came the maid named Melina.
"Sorry Mr. Orton I was in the middle of my soap opera 'Tomorrow Will Last Forever' where Rebecca kills Jonathan's wife and makes it look like it was one of Jonathan's kids, so now the oldest who is twenty five is being taken to-" but before Melina could finished her story she saw the annoyed look Randy had on his face and said "I'll pick up the phone know".
"Hello?" answered Melina
"No darling this isn't Randy, it's Melina" said Melina
Cody stopped posing with Jennifer and walked over to Melina
"How many times have I told you now to answer the phone 'Hello?', your suppose to say 'Orton residence" said Cody, he took the phone out of Melina's hand and told her to start on dinner
"Why would I answer Orton arrested?" asked Melina with a confused look
"Not arrested you idiot, Orton RESIDENCE" said Cody
Melina just laughed and started walking back to the kitchen
"Melina" said Cody
"Yes Mr. Cody?" said Melina
"Make some popcorn so you can tell me what else happened on your soap" said Cody
Melina just nodded and walked back into the kitchen
Cody put the phone in his ear and answered
"This is Cody Orton how can I assist you?" asked Cody
He nodded and handed the phone to Randy
"Who is it?" asked Randy
"Its your aunts chauffeur" said Cody
Randy put the phone up to his ear and answered it
"Hello!" said Randy
"WHAT?" shouted Randy making Cody and Jennifer jump
"Sorry sweetie" said Randy as he saw that Jennifer jumped
"NO! NOT YOU, YOU GOD DAMN IDIOT!" shouted Randy at the driver.
"WELL FIND HER!" said Randy as he hung up and sat on the couch
"What happened Randaaaalllll!" said Cody as he walked over and saw on Randy's lap.
Cody fell on the floor thou when Randy stood up and said my "My aunt has gone missing, how is she going to name me president of the company ifshe's not here" said Randy with a worried look on his face.
Cody just laid on the floor face first, he shouted when Randy stepped on him and ran into his office upstairs to make some phone calls.
"Randy can you help me up?" said Cody not knowing that Randy had left
"Jennifer?" said Cody looking for his little princess
But Jennifer was to busy, she was being carried by her daddy Randy.
"Anybody?" said Cody as he was still laying on the floor with his face facing the wooden floor.
Melina looked left and right to see if anyone was in the living room. When she saw nobody was there, she sat on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, and turned on the TV to see her soap opera.
"It's more dramatic when I see it in HD" said Melina.
She saw that her boss was laying on the floor but decided not to answer questions and just left him there.
