"Ressie?"
Theresa Davis smiled at the nickname, she had not heard it in several years. She knew that immediately that her nearest and dearest friend had arrived. She had been waiting for this day for so long, it was way too long since she had seen her and now the moment had arrived and Theresa could not have been happier. She was so caught up with Randy Orton that she did not even hear Vanessa enter the house. She looked at Vanessa and her smile grew wider as she opened her arms and said, "Hello Nessie."
Vanessa squealed in delight as she dropped her bags and wrapped her arms around Theresa, "Oh my God! It has been far too long!"
Theresa laughed as she hugged Vanessa tightly and said, "I know! It has been way too long!"
The girls pulled away and held each others hands as they both looked down and said at the same time, "You're pregnant!"
Vanessa smiled as she said, "Four months along, you?"
"Oh my God! Me too!" laughed Theresa as they hugged again, "do you realize what this mean?"
"That we finally achieved the dream that we wanted? To be pregnant at the same time?" The girls squealed as Vanessa, "I wonder if we will have a boy and a girl, so that they can get married!"
"Well that can easily happen too if we have two boys or two girls."
"That's true too," said Vanessa, "but my God the years have treated you so well."
"And married life has treated you so well."
Just then Vanessa realized that her husband was in the room looking at her confused as hell, "Shit… sorry sweetie, Theresa this is my husband John Cena. John, my love this is Sofia's godmother and my bestest friend since we were babies Theresa Davis."
"So this is the infamous Theresa Davis that I have been hearing so much about," said John as he extended his hand to her, "well Theresa it's very nice to finally meet you."
Theresa smiled as she could not help but hug John as she said, "and it's nice to finally meet the man who won Vanessa's heart. I have heard so much about you and all the wonderful things you have done for her." She looked at John as she said, "You know Vanessa, he is exactly as you described him to me when we were teenagers."
Vanessa looked at John and suddenly laughed as she said, "Oh my God you are right… I never thought about that until now."
John looked confused as he said, "What do you mean?"
Vanessa and Theresa looked at each other before Vanessa wrapped her around Theresa as she said, "When Theresa and I were like fifteen, we were chilling at the beach staring at the stars like we usually did, and we decided to describe the perfect man. I described a man who would be there for me during the roughest of times, a man who when I was in his arms I feel safe and secure, someone who will provide for me and my children and make me the happiest person in the world." She walked up to John, wrapped her arm around him and smiled as she said, "and she is right, that night… I described you to a tee. I never realized that until now." John and Vanessa smiled at each other before sharing a long sweet kiss while Randy and Theresa watch in envy.
Randy interrupted the happy couple when he said, "Hold on… I thought Melissa was your best friend, she was your maid of honor at your wedding."
Vanessa smiled as she said, "Well she is… but I did not meet her till about fourth grade, but Theresa is my bestest friend and she was supposed to be my matron of honor…"
Vanessa looked at Therese who smiled lightly as she said, "but I could not leave since my husband was stationed in Iraq and I was also at a photo shoot in Australia"
"Theresa is one of the best photographers in the world," said Vanessa with pride, "she has done some of the biggest celebrity weddings, photo shoots, and magazine layouts all over the world. Hell she has even done photos for-"
"OK Vanessa that's enough!" said Theresa with a laugh, "Stop embarrassing me!"
"I can't help it, I am so proud of my girl!"
"Well what about you? Ms. Six time WWE Women's Champion? First ever female WWE Champion?"
"Thanks for reminding me…" said Randy, "I was the one she defeated."
Vanessa smirked as she said, "Can I help it that I am better than you?"
"Correct me if I am wrong" said Randy, "but didn't your husband distract me in order for you to get the roll-up?"
"See, I am better than you," said Vanessa, "Since I did not get distracted by my husband and got the pin. Besides I only held it for two months."
"It was still enough to make history," said Theresa, "and I am sure that your husband was very proud of his wife."
"I was," said John as he wrapped his arm around his wife, "considering she had given birth to Sofia about five months earlier and had only returned to the ring about a month prior to the match. She handled herself very well in the match, even Vince McMahon was impressed with her. The fans were even amazed how she handled the match, usually when the divas are put against a male superstar, they are usually weaklings, but not Vanessa, she refused to be like that, so she fought like one of the guys. Vanessa is one of the most respected women in our business."
Theresa smiled as she said, "That's my girl, she was always the most respected person in high school, of course being the president of the student council all for years, and the editor of both the newspaper and the yearbook, while also captain of the softball and basketball teams. While do this and working for her dad's restaurant, it was amazing that she did all this and still managed to be the top of our class."
Vanessa smiled lightly as she said, "Well working in a restaurant taught me how to handle everything under pressure and deadlines. So I could handle everything and blink an eye."
John smiled as she said, "And that is why you can handle being a WWE Diva and as a family woman as well."
"Yeah," said Vanessa as she looked around, "speaking of family… where is Kyle? I have missed him terribly." She looked at the guys and said, "
Theresa sighed lightly as she said, "Kyle was killed in Iraq three years ago."
Vanessa was stunned as she said, "Oh my god, I am so sorry Ressie, I did not know. If I had known…"
"Nessie," said Theresa as she smiled lightly, "It's OK… there was nothing anyone could have done, and anyway I was in Paris when it happened. Besides, it was around the time you were still with Jason…." She drifted off and everyone understood why.
"Wait a sec…" said Randy, "if you husband died three years ago, how is it that you are four months pregnant?"
Theresa thought for a moment before saying, "Well… at the time of his death, we were trying to have a child. Where were going through some in-vitro… and we had frozen some of his… you know, and then finally four months ago it has lead up to this." She placed her hands on her stomach and smiled, "So in a way, Kyle will live on forever."
"Wow…" said Randy, "that is amazing."
John nodded in agreement as he placed his hand on Vanessa's stomach, "I feel that way when I look at Sofia and when this one comes to the world, I will feel even more lucky."
"Indeed," said Vanessa as she said, "now I don't know about you guys, but I am starving..."
"Oh me too," said Theresa, "I am hungry too."
"Well, that's that then," said John, "why do you two lovely ladies sit down, while us men make lunch."
Randy looked at John and said with a whinny voice, "John… why do I have to make lunch?"
Without missing a beat Theresa said, "Would you rather be carrying this baby, cause I would gladly give you this job."
Vanessa smiled as she said, "So would I, how would you like to carry both of our babies? Cause I would love to get back into the ring without risking the baby."
Randy looked at the girls, then quickly smiled as he said, "Come on John, we have lunch to make." With that pulled a very confused looking John into the kitchen while the girls laughed and went into the living room.
A couple hours later the foursome were sitting in the living room laughing as Theresa and Vanessa were telling a story about their past. "OK…" said Theresa, "so it was me, Vanessa, and our boyfriends of the time. I was see Jason and she was seeing David-"
"No it's the other way," said Vanessa, "I was seeing Jay and you were seeing Dave."
"Oh right," said Theresa as she waved her hand, "that was the problem, they were twin brothers… identical twins. Anyway, so we were at Eaton's lake house that they would stay in about a week before school. This was the first time that Vanessa got to stay there without the rest of the family, and she got to stay there under the provision that I was there… and no boys."
"Oh God," said John, "I know where this is going."
"Anyway…" said Vanessa as she shook her head, "Dave and Jay came to surprise us, and I had been trying like hell to get them out of there since I had a feeling that either mom or dad were gonna come up to the house. However…"
"If you saw Dave and Jay," said Theresa, "you would completely understand why it was hard to get them out."
"Anyway," said Vanessa, "we let them stay, but I told them it could only be a couple hours… unfortunately that did not happen."
"So it was about two am," said Theresa, "and both couples were in some heavy making out… suddenly there were headlights."
"Sure enough, as I predicted my father showed up… and we had to hide Dave and Jay…"
"Where did you end up hiding them?" asked Randy.
Theresa and Vanessa looked at each other, "They ran straight into the lake… and hid underwater… but of course neither one could hold their breath, plus her dad being a cook and having the great sense of smell… and ended up finding them."
"Our punishment was doing the dishes for the rest of the summer…" said Vanessa, "was washing the dishes as the restaurant for the rest of the summer."
"You and Theresa?"
"And the boys as well," said Theresa, "it was dad's way to be paid for his silence."
"And let me tell you, doing dishes during the dinner rush…" at the same time both Theresa and Vanessa said, "Sucks ass."
Everyone started laughing as Vanessa and Theresa leaned on each other to support each other. "Oh man," said Theresa, "we had some good times back then."
"Yeah, and we will more good times since I am never letting years get in between us ever again." Vanessa smiled lightly as she then had a thought, "Where are you staying Theresa?"
"Well… I am currently looking for a place up here since I don't want to raise my baby in a big city like LA. Plus my parents would be happen if I was home since this is their only grandbaby so far."
Vanessa thought for a minute as she said, "I know the house next door is for sale. Hell it's been vacant for about a year now. Which is surprising since I would think people would kill in order to live next door to two WWE superstars."
Theresa smiled lightly as she said, "That would be wonderful, but I don't think I could handle a home by myself… plus I doubt I could get it alone."
Randy thought for a moment before he said, "I'll get it with you, it was time I got out of this house anyway."
"Randy-" said Vanessa trying to argue but Randy stopped her
"No Vanessa, I know what you are going to say, but I think its time I got out onto my own" said Randy, "Besides, I had also been looking at that house since I really have no plans to go back to St. Louis. Plus it would also benefit Theresa with her being pregnant, I can be there when she needs something in case she has to go on bed rest or something."
Theresa looked at Randy with surprise as she said, "You would seriously move in with me considering you only met me today?"
"Well, from what I learned about you today," said Randy, "I think you and me would get along great and become really good friends… so this would be a good chance for us to get to know each other better. Plus I think it would be good for the baby, so Ms. Davis what do ya say?"
Theresa could not believe that a complete stranger would be willing to do something like this, but from what Vanessa had told her, he was a great friend that she could trust. Plus deep down she honestly would feel a lot safer with a man in the house especially in her condition. So she smiled and said, "All right, Mr. Orton… you have a deal."
