Present day
And now, this is where John stood. He sighed to himself, before walking out of the bathroom, heading back to Nikki's hospital room. That day when Nikki told him she was pregnant, he felt his life take a turn of change in an instant; he was now the father of a healthy baby boy, a son…his son. The way that sounded to John was unbelievable. He had a son, who looked so much like him, with a little bit of his mother. News spread like wild fire, when it was revealed that John and Nikki were gonna be parents. Their friends and family congratulated them, it was a new chapter that both of them were now entering.
John came to the door, opening it quietly, not to disturb Nikki; she had just given birth minutes ago and was now resting. John came by her bed side, sitting in the chair, stroking her cheek, which woke her up.
"Hi." She whispered, smiling.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" He asked, smiling back.
"Tired, but ok overall, where is he now?"
"They're still checking him, making sure he's healthy and getting his stats down."
Nikki nodded, sitting up, while john handed her the cup of water, so she could take a sip.
"So, what's we gonna name him?" She asked placing the cup down.
"How about MacGyver?" John replied, grinning. Nikki glared at him.
"We are absolutely not naming him after an action star on television."
"Yea, I know, I'm sorry." He laughed. Nikki couldn't help, but giggle at him.
Just then the door opened, revealing a nurse, rolling in a baby bed.
"I brought someone, who wanted to say hello." The smiling nurse said, lifting the small baby out, handing him to Nikki, before leaving. Nikki held her son close her chest as he cooed quietly. She felt tears coming to her eyes as she stroked his cheek with her finger.
"Hi sweet little baby." She said quietly. John smiled seeing how his girlfriend interacted with their child.
"Oh, John he looks so much like you." Nikki said, smiling.
"That means he's devilishly handsome, like his dad." He joked, holding his sons hand lightly. The new parents were in complete awe of their newborn son.
"You wanna hold him?" Nikki said. John nodded, taking the baby gently, into his large arms, leaning back into the soft chair cradling him.
"Hey there guy, you wanna open your eyes and say hi to your mommy and old man?" He whispered to his son.
"John, you're not old." Nikki said. John scoffed playfully.
"I had my first child in my late 30's, yeah; I'm pretty much old now."
Nikki laughed, watching John hold their son. She loved the image before her, John cradling the baby, who looked small in his fathers' muscled arms while John continued talking to him as if he could understand.
"And then I'll take you to see the Red Sox's play, since your mom isn't a big baseball fan."
"Because I don't get it." She argued back. John looked at her for moment before back to his son.
"See what I mean."
"John, shut up."
There was a knock at the door; it opened revealing Brie and Daniel Bryan.
"Hi, oh my gosh, there he is." Brie whispered happily. She went over giving her sister a kiss on the head.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm ok, now." Nikki smiled.
John then stood up, giving the baby to Brie to hold. Daniel came over, giving John a slap on the back.
"How does it feel to be a dad?" John smiled at his co-worker.
"It feels pretty damn good, Uncle Daniel."
"Oh, he is so precious." Brie cooed at her nephew. "Did you guys pick out a name yet?"
"Yea, MacGyver." John said, before laughing at the face Nikki gave him.
"John….I swear I will." She threatened.
"I'm just joking babe."
"Anyway, I was thinking about giving him the name Gabriel."
"Oh that sounds nice; he even looks like a Gabriel." Brie said, giving the baby back to Nikki.
The doctor came in, greeting the new parents. "So did we decide on a name, yet?" He said; ready to write on his clipboard.
"Yes, we have, we're going to go with MacGyver." John said.
"John, I'm going to kill you." Nikki scolded.
John laughed. "No, just kidding, his name is Gabriel…. Gabriel John Garcia Cena."
The doctor wrote down the name, before leaving the room.
"That's a pretty nice name for him." said Daniel, wrapping his arm around Brie.
Nikki grinned at her boyfriend. "I like it too." John came over to her side, giving her a kiss on the lip, and then giving Gabriel a kiss on his forehead.
Nikki traced her finger over Gabriel's face. "Mommy loves you Gabriel John Garcia Cena." She said, giving him a kiss on his small cheek.
John leaned down, holding his sons small hand. "Daddy loves you too." He muttered.
