John and Nikki were stunned of what the doctor said. "T-twins?" John asked to be sure.
"Yup here is the first head". She said showing the ultrasound picture. "And here's the second one". She said.
"Oh my gosh John those are our babies". Nikki said wiping a tear.
"Can you tell what the sex is?" John asked.
"It's too early to tell". She replied.
Once the appointment was over the doctor had printed the ultrasound pictures and gave them to the couple as they went home.
While
Lily was back with Dean on the road, ever since the incident with Drew she has been fighting going to sleep at night afraid of the nightmares that plague her dreams. Lily has been struggling to stay awake throughout the day since she stayed up after having a nightmare the previous night, Dean continued to watch this as it broke his heart.
"Sweetheart if you're tired take a nap you're not doing anything but hurting yourself". Dean said.
"No i'm fine". She said tiredly.
He continued to watch as her eyes kept drooping closed till she finally fell asleep it was just past noon and he knew that his niece needed some kind of sleep so while she slept he quickly went out to the hallway to call John.
-Hello. John said.
-John it's me, Lily's not doing to well and i don't know what to do. Dean said.
-She's not sleeping? John asked.
-She's fighting it at night, last night she woke up scared out of her mind because of a nightmare and she stayed up she fell asleep just a couple of minutes ago. Dean said.
-Will she talk about what happened? John asked.
-No i think if she talks about what happened it'll help her heal but i don't know how to get her to open up. Dean said.
-What if just bare with me here, what if she saw a therapist? John asked.
-You want her to see a shrink? Dean asked.
-It'll help her Dean if she won't open up to us maybe a therapist could help her to talk about it. John said.
-You're right but should we tell her or not? Dean asked.
-You can if you want when i get home i can make some calls. John said.
-John it's ok i'll do it. Dean said.
-I want to do it. John said.
-Alright when you got once let me know. Dean said.
Dean then heard Lily whimpering from the room. -John i gotta go call me later. Dean said.
-Alright i call later. John said.
Dean then hung up and went to console his upset niece, when he entered the room she was tossing and turning on the couch he rushed to her picking her up laying her in his arms.
"It's alright sweetheart it's alright, you're safe it's all just a dream. Shh sweetheart shh it's ok, it's alright i'm here i got you". Dean soothed.
Lily then started to calm down and relax as Dean soothed her she wanted to wake up but she was exhausted both physically and mentally so she continued to sleep while Dean held her. He watched her as she slept soundly in his arms he frowned when he saw dark circles that was starting to form under her eyes, he then gently picked her up and shifted her so that way her head was on his shoulder as he got their bags heading to Jimmy and Jey's locker room for the show, when he finally got to the locker room he quietly knocked as he still tried to keep Lily asleep the door was then opened by Jimmy.
"What's good uce". Jimmy said.
"Hey man". Dean said.
"How is she?" Jimmy asked.
"Not good". Dean said.
He walked in and laid the sleeping child down on the couch covering her with the blanket he watched as she turned on her side, she continued to snore softly as Dean let out a sad sigh.
"What's wrong?" Jey asked.
"I don't know how to help her, she never opens up to me or anyone and when i try to get her to talk about it she won't she'll sit there with a blank expression". Dean said.
"Would she open up to anyone?" Jimmy asked.
"She use to, back when her mom was...alive she always opened up to her about anything and everything, if someone was picking on her at school, a nightmare, anything she always opened up to Grace. She tried to open up to me but it didn't work. I'm not my sister and we both know that". Dean said.
"Did John suggest anything?" Jey asked.
"He said that she should see a shrink". Dean said.
"What do you think about that?" Jimmy asked.
"He's right if she won't open up to me or anyone she might have a better chance at opening up to a therapist". Dean said.
He then moved over to her and went down on one knee he took his index finger and gently caressed her cheek then moved some hair out of her face and just watched as she slept peacefully.
While
Nikki was taking an afternoon nap while John was on the computer looking for a child therapist and so far he hadn't had any luck whatsoever, Nikki then had woken up and went downstairs to check on him she had snuck up behind him and lovingly wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Hello my love". Nikki said.
"Hey sweetie". John said.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"I'm looking for a therapist for Lily, Dean called and said she's not doing so good she can't sleep without having a nightmare. He said that she stayed up last night after having a nightmare she fell back asleep not long ago". John explained sadly.
"My poor baby". Nikki said.
"She won't open up to him and she won't open up to us so i figured she'll do better in therapy". John said.
"I just wanna hold her right now". Nikki said.
"Well we have her this weekend so you can hold her all you want". John said.
"Are we gonna tell her that she's gonna have two siblings instead of one?" Nikki asked.
"We should that may cheer her up a little". John said.
"Do you have any name ideas yet?" Nikki asked.
"If one's a boy i'd like to name him after me, if it's a girl maybe Jasmine or Stella". John said.
"But what if there both boys?" Nikki asked.
"One will be named after me and the other after you".
"I love the sound of that". Nikki said.
The two then were back on the computer searching.
Arena
Lily was still sound asleep while the guys were quietly talking, Lily then began tossing and turning a bit the three men then had heard her whimpering and Dean had rushed over to her trying to sooth her.
"Shh it's alright sweetheart it's alright, it's just a dream you're dreaming you're safe sweetheart". Dean whispered.
Lily soon had calmed down her eyes then began fluttering open her vision was blurry a bit she blinked a couple of times the first thing she saw was Dean kneeling beside her.
"Hey sweetheart". Dean said.
"Uncle Dean?" She asked. She looked around and noticed that they weren't in his locker room anymore but someone else's. "Where are we?" She asked.
"Were with Jimmy and Jey". He said.
She rubbed her eyes as she was still tired. "Sweetheart why don't you try and get some more rest you need it". He said.
"I'm fine Uncle Dean". She yawned.
"Will you be alright with Jimmy and Jey while i'm out in the ring for a couple minutes?" He asked.
"You'll come back won't you?" She asked.
"I'll be right back sweetheart i promise". He said.
"Ok". She said.
Dean then kissed his niece's head then got up. "You guys alright watching her for a couple minutes?" He asked the brothers.
"Yeah we're fine you go". Jimmy said.
"We got this". Jey said.
"Thanks guys". Dean said.
Just as Dean was walking out the door Lily had ran and hugged him from behind. "Good luck Uncle Dean, i love you". She said.
"Thanks sweetheart i love you too". He said smiling.
The eleven year old then let go of Dean and let him go out to the ring in his usual crazy way.
Ring
"Ladies and gentlemen please welcome Dean Ambrose". Lillian announced.
Dean had then gotten in the ring walked around and then went for a mic.
"Look i know it's bad timing three weeks before WrestleMania and i don't care, i don't care what Triple H's plans were! I don't care what Roman Reigns plans were! The fact of the matter is this Saturday on the WWE Network i'm hijacking the WWE championship and i'm hijacking WrestleMania if anybody likes it or not". Dean said.
Triple H then came out with his own mic. "This is a fun little fantasy you got going on there Dean i hate to be the guy who ruins it for you but let me bring you back down to reality, reality is this WWE World Heavyweight Championship will stay with me as long as i want it too. Let me let you in on a little secret Roadblock is just a name that some idiot in marketing came up with it has nothing to do with you, you are at best a speed bump or pot hole your gonna get hurt permanently". Triple H said.
"Hurt? Hurt ain't so bad, ain't delusional it hasn't got me this far. I'd rather be delusional then be whatever you are". Dean said.
"Whatever i am? You wanna know what i am? I'm driven, i am driven and you can say it however you want, driven by money, power, success, however you want to say it and that's what makes me, me and that makes you honestly you". Hunter chuckled.
"I'm having a hard time hearing you maybe you busted my eardrum on the announce table last week why don't you come down to this ring? Why don't you tell me a little closer? Just so i can hear you a little bit better". Dean said throwing the mic down.
Triple H then looked around the arena to see and hear the cheering fans. "You guys wanna see me go fight Dean Ambrose right now? See here's the thing with that I don't fight on your time". Hunter said to Dean. "And i don't fight on your time". Hunter said to the fans. "I fight on my time you, Dean Ambrose you will get your shot this Saturday at Roadblock whether you learn it tonight or learn it this Saturday at Roadblock you will come face to face with reality and the reality is the authority always wins". He finished.
Dean then watched as Hunter went backstage and he had gotten out of the ring heading backstage so he can see Lily before his match with Wyatt later he then thought about this weekend when he faces Hunter for the championship he really wanted Lily to be there but it was John's weekend with her he thought maybe they could arrange something new for the week so he pulled out his phone and called John.
-Hey Dean what's up. John answered.
-Hey John, look i know it's your weekend with Lily but i want her to see my match this Saturday when i win the title is there anyway we can reschedule weekends or you can get her this week and i get her back Saturday. Dean said.
-I can take her this week and bring her back Saturday. John said.
-You gonna be ok with this? I feel like i'm cutting into your time with Lily. Dean said.
-Dean you're going for the title and if you want Lily to be there she can be there besides there's next weekend anyway. John said.
-Alright after the show tonight i'll send her down to you be ready to pick her up. Dean said.
-You got it. Oh and Dean a couple of things before i go. John said.
-What is it? Dean asked.
-First i found Lily a therapist and since i'm gonna have her this week i can schedule her appointment this week. John said.
-Alright what's the second thing. Dean replied.
-Don't tell Lily we want to surprise her. John said.
-Don't make it too much of a surprise the last time she ran away and stayed out all night. Dean said.
-Well Nikki and I had found out we're expecting twins. John said.
-Congratulations man. Dean said.
-Thanks man. John said.
-Do you know if they're boys or girls yet? Dean asked.
-The doc said it's too early to tell but we should know in another few weeks. John said.
-I'm happy for you guys, listen i gotta go i'll text you when i'm bringing Lily to the airport. Dean said.
-Alright bye Dean. John said.
-See ya. Dean replied.
He then sighed as he continued the walk back to Jimmy and Jey's locker room and just as the door was opened he was hit with such force he was almost knocked down he looked down to see Lily clutching his legs tightly.
"I'm alright sweetheart". Dean said.
"I thought you got hurt like before". She whispered.
"Come here sweetheart". Dean said taking her hand going to the hallway.
Once the two were sitting down Lily held her head down so Dean can't see her face so he turned towards her and gently took her chin and looked at her with a soft look.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" Dean asked.
"Nothing". She whispered.
"It's something, look sweetheart i can't help you until i know what's wrong". Dean said.
"I was afraid". Lily said.
"Afraid of what sweetie?" Dean asked moving hair from her face.
"That Triple H or someone would hurt you like last week". Lily said.
"Listen sweetheart i know that you're afraid when i go out there's no need to worry because i'm always careful and i can always take whatever someone throws at me". Dean said.
"But your facing Bray Wyatt tonight and after what happened before i don't want you to face him again". Lily said.
"It'll be alright sweetheart he's just like anybody else i face off with but i will be alright". Dean said gently.
"Can i come with you?" Lily asked.
"No sweetheart i don't want you involved in anything and i don't want you hurt, i'd rather you stay back here with Jimmy and Jey". Dean said.
"Ok". She said.
Dean then kissed her head and gave her a side hug. "There's one more thing i wanna talk to you about sweetheart". He said.
"What?" She asked.
"How would you feel instead of going to your dad's this weekend you'll spend the rest this week with him and then Saturday you'll come back to me so you can see my title match". Dean said.
"I'll go to dad's tonight?" Lily asked.
"After the show yeah you'll go down to see him for the week then on Saturday he'll bring you to me so you can see my title match". Dean said.
"I don't know". Lily said.
"Is there something else wrong sweetheart?" Dean asked knowing the answer.
"No". Lily lied.
Dean took the hint knowing she didn't wanna talk about it anymore. "Ok but i'm here if or when you're ready to talk". He said.
"Alright". She replied.
While
John then had gotten off the phone with Dean and began scurrying around trying to straighten up before Lily gets there he didn't know he was rushing until Nikki had came down.
"John what are you doing?" Nikki asked.
"Dean called and he's letting Lily stay with us for the rest of this week because he wants her to see his title match on Saturday, after the show she'll be on her way here". John explained.
"Are you gonna tell her that she's in therapy?" Nikki asked.
"I will and since i have her this week i'll make the appointment for this week". John said.
"I think my favorite part of her visit is when we'll tell her she's gonna have two little brothers or sisters". Nikki said.
"That'll be my favorite part too". John said.
"But i am worried about something though". Nikki said.
"What's that?" John asked.
"With my injury i don't think i'd be able to do a natural birth i might have to get a C-section". Nikki said.
"We'll talk to the doctor and see what she suggest i don't want you stressing or worrying about anything it won't be good for you or the babies". John said.
"I love the sound of that". Nikki said.
"I love it more". John said.
Back at the arena
Dean now has to go out for the main event against Bray Wyatt but Lily wouldn't have it, he forgot how so stubborn she could be at time it reminded him a lot of Grace.
"Sweetheart i told you i have to go out, there's no if, and's or buts about it". Dean said calmly.
"Then i wanna come with you". Lily said.
"That's not happening either kiddo i don't want you exposed to the world like that and i'm pretty sure John doesn't either. Were not keeping you back here to punish you or anything but to keep you safe, the less people know about you the better. I don't want a target on your back because of me or John". Dean said.
"Alright". Lily said in defeat.
"That's my girl". Dean said.
He then kissed her head then brought her back to Jimmy and Jey before his match he then left for the gorilla as his music hit.
Ring
"This match is set for one fall introducing first Dean Ambrose!" Lillian announced.
Dean had gotten in the ring and did his pose just as Bray Wyatt's music hit and he came out.
"And his opponent Bray Wyatt!' Lillian announced.
Once the two were separated the ref rang the bell and the match went underway.
(Skips time)
Bray was in the far right corner laughing while Dean was laying in the middle of the ring helplessly, when Bray had went back over to Dean he pulled some of hair back then Dean had slapped him across the face then Wyatt had returned the slap as Dean went back into the ropes catching himself and then hit a close line on Wyatt and he crawled towards the corner of the ring then climbed up on it to the top and hit Wyatt with an elbow to the heart and while both men laid in the ring the other members of the Wyatt family had came out surrounding the ring.
Dean had went after Luke Harper first getting the match called off just as the others were getting in ring joining in on the attack, the other Wyatt members had backed off while Bray had began to attack Dean pinning him to the mat and hitting him over the head repeatedly. He then got Dean up and hit Sister Abigail on Dean. Lily couldn't take anymore of her uncle getting jumped so when Jimmy and Jey weren't looking she bolted out the door and out to the ring. She was already running down the ramp and standing in front of Dean as the cheering in the arena grew louder. Dean was still dazed by the attack but when his vision started to clear he saw his niece in the ring standing in front of him. Protecting him.
"L-Lily get out of the ring now". Dean said to his niece.
"I won't leave you Uncle Dean i won't". She said.
Just then Triple H's music had hit with him coming out as he slowly went down to the ring, he finally made it inside and noticed the scene before him. Lily was still protecting Dean by standing in front of him, The Wyatt Family standing there with Bray in the middle laughing, Triple H and Bray Wyatt stood in the middle of the ring face to face with each other and Bray had swiftly touched the championship that was on Triple H's shoulder. Bray and Triple H still were facing off as if they were gonna fight till the group had backed off and left the ring, Dean was still trying to get up from his attack but Lily still refused to leave the ring.
"Lily get out of the ring now". Dean said firmly.
She looked over her shoulder as he gave her a strict glare and she rolled out of the ring and stood to see what was gonna happen next, while Triple H was looking on as The Wyatts' were walking away he then turned his attention to Dean who still was laying on the mat struggling to get up. This tempted Lily to get back in the ring to protect Dean once again but she wouldn't the eleven year old knew she was already in trouble as it was she didn't wanna land in hot water again. Triple H looked over and smirked at her as he continued to roll up his sleeves on his dress shirt, he then glanced over at the announce table and when Lily saw this her eyes were widen and when he had gotten out the ring it had put fear in her body. When Dean saw the COO get out of the ring it had also put fear in his body as he worried for the safety of Lily but that had went away when he saw that Hunter was heading to the announce table and Lily ran back towards the ramp. Triple H had started tearing apart the announce table by pulling and ripping the monitors out while Dean still struggled to get up in the ring, once the COO was satisfied with his work he had went back into the ring and just as he tried to pull Dean out of the ring he was able to pull a dirty deeds on the older man. Dean then fell back stumbling on his knees while Triple H was laid out face first in the middle of the ring he was holding his midsection the whole time and just as he was on his knees he was kneeling in front of the WWE championship he then picked up the title and held on to it while Lily got back in the ring going next to her uncle who still held onto the championship.
His music then blared through the speakers as the show came to an ending, Dean then took a hold of Lily's shoulder as they walked backstage once they had gotten their stuff from Jimmy and Jey's locker room the two kept apologizing to Dean for letting Lily out the room, he knew it wasn't there fault that she left so he simply said, 'don't worry about it'. They all said their goodbyes for the night and the whole time Lily had kept her head down knowing she'll be in for it twice once by Dean and the other by John, once Dean had the car packed up the two had gotten in and headed to the airport the whole time Dean stayed quiet and that was when he was really pissed.
"I'm sorry i did that Uncle Dean i really am". Lily said.
"Lily Grace Ambrose-Cena, what in the world would possess you to do that after i specifically told you to keep your butt with Jimmy and Jey?" Dean asked strictly.
"I wanted to protect you when you were down". Lily said.
Dean was trying not to lose his cool. "Lily i told you i can handle it and since you deliberately disobeyed me and because of that you're grounded for two weeks, that means no phone unless you're with your dad and you call to say goodnight, no tablet, no anything except your homework. Do you understand me". He said strictly.
"But Uncle Dean". Lily protested.
"Lily Grace don't push it now you're grounded for two weeks, do i make myself clear". He said firmly.
"Yes sir". She said.
"I'll make sure to tell your dad when you go". Dean said.
The eleven year old stayed quiet the rest of the time during the trip, by the time they were at the airport neither one had said a word since they were both trying to calm down they went inside and the whole time Lily wanted to speak up but was afraid that she would get into it with Dean so while he was getting her ticket she was lost in her thought thinking of something she could say to try and smooth things over so when she saw him approach she was ready to explain her side.
"Uncle Dean". Lily said.
"What is it sweetheart?" He asked looking at a magazine.
"I'm really really sorry for what i did at the arena, when you were down i thought that The Wyatt family was gonna attack you again and all i wanted to do was protect you". Lily explained.
Dean sighed and put the magazine down. "I know you wanted to protect me sweetheart but i told you i didn't want you to go out to the ring for a reason and now John's gonna be asking me questions, people are gonna be talking about it, not to mention now people might use you to get to me now. That is why i don't want you around the ring while me or John are out there, those guys will do anything and yes i do mean anything to get to people whether it be physically, mentally, or personally". He explained.
"I just wanted to protect you from getting hurt that's all". She whispered.
"I get that sweetheart i do but it's mine and John's job to protect you not the other way around, we can handle and take care of our self. When Hunter was getting out of the ring going to the announce table i was scared". He said.
Lily looked shocked at his last statement. "But you never get scared". She pointed out.
"I get scared just like everyone else i may not show it but i do get scared. I was scared that he would do something to you and i couldn't protect you from it". He said.
Dean's phone then began to ring with John's number. "You wanna take a guess at who this is?" He asked.
"It's dad isn't it?" She asked.
"Yup, i will be right back do not go anywhere". He said.
He then walked away so he could take the call.
-Yeah John. Dean answered.
-Is Lily alright? John asked.
Dean sighed he must have seen what happened.
-Yes she's fine and before you ask, she snuck out of Jimmy and Jey's locker room and came down. She's already on punishment so you don't have to worry about much. Dean replied.
-What's her punishment? John asked.
-She's grounded for two weeks, no phone unless she's with you to call and say good night, no tablet, no nothing except her homework. Dean answered.
-Alright i got it, are you guys at the airport yet? John replied.
-Yeah we're waiting now it shouldn't be much longer though. Dean said.
Just then the flight was announced.
-Her plane's boarding now so be ready to pick her up. Dean said.
-I'm out the door now. John said.
-Alright text me when she lands. Dean said.
-Will do. John said.
Dean then hung up the phone while Lily was getting her backpack on and Dean had gotten her suitcase he then walked her over.
"Alright sweetheart have fun with your dad, i already told him you're grounded so don't pull anything". Dean said.
"I won't". Lily said.
"I will see you Saturday sweetheart". Dean said.
"See you Saturday Uncle Dean, i love you". Lily said.
"I love you too sweetheart". Dean said hugging her.
Lily quickly returned the hug and then left for the plane while Dean watched as she boarded the plane, he stayed and watched as the plane took off he then pulled his phone out.
-She's on her way to you now. Dean.
He then put it back as he went back out to his rental and headed for the next town.
Meanwhile
John had gotten Dean's text as he was waiting for the plane to land, Nikki had wanted to go with him but he wanted her to rest he promised that once he had gotten Lily that she can hang out with her all she wants. It was a little while before Lily's flight had finally landed and once all the people were off John was scanning the crowd for Lily till he finally found her.
"Lily!" John called out.
Lily had heard her name being called and she looked around to see John holding his arms open as she ran straight to them hugging him tightly.
"I missed you dad". Lily said.
"I missed you too honey, let's get your bags and head home". John said.
"Ok". Lily said.
Once they had gotten her luggage and backpack they head outside to John's car and began driving to his house the whole time Lily stayed quiet till she decided to break the silence.
"So I guess Uncle Dean told you what happened". Lily said.
"He did and i agree with him, he told you to stay with Jimmy and Jey but you didn't instead you ignored him and went and did it anyway". John said.
"But i only wanted to protect him that's it". Lily said.
"I know that and he knows that but he told you to stay put and you disobeyed him so i agree that you should be grounded". John said.
"I only wanted to help". She muttered.
"Honey what you did yes you wanted to protect him we get that but what if something had happen to you? Did you even think about that part?" John asked.
"Not really". Lily said.
"So you see why we want you to stay in the back to protect you. Our main thing we when have to go in the ring is your safety and well being, if we don't know you're safe that will scare us". John said.
"I get it now". Lily said.
"I'm glad but when we get to the house Nikki and i have something to tell you". John said.
"What is it?" Lily asked.
"It's a surprise". John said.
"After last time i don't do well with surprises". Lily said.
"I know, there is one more thing i wanna talk to you about". John said.
"What is it dad?" Lily asked.
"Dean told me that you're not doing very well after what happened so i think you should talk to someone about it". John said.
"Like a shrink?" Lily asked.
John sighed and thought, 'just like Dean'. "Yes it might help you if you talk about it". He explained.
"I guess that be ok, i admit i haven't been myself since what happened and it's been worrying you guys". Lily said.
"Well tomorrow i can set up for your first appointment this week". John said.
"Ok". She said.
By the time they got to John's house Lily was already falling asleep so he gently shook her and they got the bags heading inside taking them to Lily's room.
"Once you have your stuff put away and you've changed for bed you can call Dean then i'll take your phone". John said.
"Alright". Lily said.
She then began to put her luggage and backpack in her closet it then go to her dresser to pull out some pajama shorts and i t shirt, once she has changed she went to her bathroom to brush her teeth, comb her hair, and wash her face by this time John had came back in just as Lily was crawling into her bed while John pulled the covers back for her then covered her with them. She then got her phone and called Dean.
-Hey sweetheart. Dean answered.
-Hi Uncle Dean, i'm calling to say good night. Lily said.
-Good night sweetheart i love you and i'll talk to you tomorrow. Dean said.
-I love you too and i'll talk to you tomorrow. Lily said.
-Sweet dreams sweetheart. Dean said.
Once she hung up she handed her phone to John who held his hand out he quickly took it putting it in his pocket.
"I thought you and mom wanted to tell me something". Lily said.
"It can wait for the morning for now both my girls needs some rest". John said.
"Alright, good night dad". Lily said.
"Sweet dreams love". John said.
He then kissed her head then got up leaving her room but cut the light off just as he went to his room for the night.
