Yeah, the day is finally here!, Jenna thought to herself as she placed her excited body in front of the gate at the airport. John would be home in only a matter of minutes, and she couldn't be more excited.
Just then, she watched John walk into the airport terminal, smiles spreading across both their faces. "JOHN!" Jenna literally screamed as she jumped into his arms.
"You have no idea how much I missed you," John told his wife as he softly kissed her lips.
"Yes I do because I missed you just as much!" she said as they started walking toward baggage claim.
While they walked to get John's luggage and made the walk toward their SUV, Jenna noticed that John grew more and more quiet. "John, your being awfully quiet. What's the matter?"
"Nothing," John shrugged as he continued the drive home. "I'm just tired from the flight."
"Your lying to me."
"No I'm not."
"Then why won't you look at me?" she asked, looking toward the driver seat. "You were all talk when you got off the plane, and have been quiet the last several minutes."
"Ok, I'm going to tell you this, but I'm not really sure how you are going to react. I think its just better that I get this out in the open," he said as he took his wife's hand.
"Your starting to scare me John. What's up?"
John took a deep breath and kissed his wife's hand. "You remember how my co-host for the show was the Austrailian actress/singer, Natalya?"
"Yeah."
"Well, she pretty well told me that she wanted to sleep with me," John said as he looked to his right. Jenna had placed her hand on her small tummy, and he could tell she was nervous.
"What brought this all on? Did she flirt the entire trip, or did it happen just one night?"
"Well, she 'lightly' flirted the entire trip, and me being the bone head that I am...I didn't recognize it. After the show, she asked for a ride back to the hotel, and her room was a few doors away from mine. As we stopped in front of my door, she thanked me for the ride and asked if I wanted company inside my room."
"What did you say?" Jenna asked, still not making eye contact with John.
"Silly woman, I of course told her no! I told her I couldn't do that to you, and she even made the comment that you didn't have to find out. I told her that you are the most important person in my life and don't want to do anything to jepordize our relationship."
"So...I guess I have one more important question. Did you do anything with her?"
John glanced at his wife, with almost a disappointed look. "I can't believe you would ask me that," he said as he put the SUV in park and they walked up their driveway. "Of course I didn't do anything with her."
Jenna felt so bad about her question as she and John walked inside their house. "John, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you that."
"Jenn...you have to know that you are the most important person in my life. You are going to be the mother of my child, and the person I want to spend my life with. I don't want you to ever doubt that. I love you," he said as they pressed their foreheads together, lightly stroking her cheek.
"I love you too John. I guess I just freaked a little when you told me that she wanted to be with you. I don't want to lose you."
John smiled and shook his head. "You aren't going to lose me."

A few days later was JoAnn's big meeting with Shawn. As she drove closer to the restaurant, she grew more and more nervous. Before walking into the restaurant, she finished her conversation with Jenna on the phone.
"So, mom this is it. Are you ready?"
"No, but it has to be done. Are you and John going to the RAW event tonight?"
"We haven't talked about it today, but I know it was brought up yesterday. I'm sure we will though."
"Ok, I will tell him if its brought up. Well, I guess I better go in. Wish me luck!"
"Good luck, and let me know how it goes."
"I will Jenna. Good bye."
"Bye Mom."
JoAnn walked inside the little restaurant, and was immediately seated toward the back. She grew more and more nervous as she waited for Shawn. Within a few moments, she watched Shawn walk inside and headed toward her table.
"Hi Shawn!" JoAnn said as the old friends embraced in a hug.
"Hi JoAnn, its been awhile."
"Yes, it has," she said smiling. A few moments later, their waitress came and took their orders. After another moment of silence, Shawn asked the reason for the meeting.
"You sounded like this meeting was urgent. What's up?"
JoAnn took a deep breath before she began. "Ok...do you remember our fling on the night of my bachelorette party?"
She could tell that Shawn started thinking about it as a smirk came on his face. "Yes, I remember it."
"Well, as you know, that was in August of 1983, and my daughter was born in May of 1984," she explained as Shawn nodded his head in agreement, and then realized what she was trying to say.
"Are you trying to say that your daughter may also be my daughter?"
"Well, I did a secret DNA test while she still lived with me, and my ex-husband isn't her father...like I orginially thought."
"Wow," is all that Shawn could say as he nervously moved around in his seat.
Instead of finding something else to say, JoAnn dug out the photo of Jenna on her wedding day. "Shawn, do you recognize her?"
He took the picture from her hand to study it, and soon his eyes grew big. "Yeah, I do know her. This is John Cena's wife, Jenna."
"Yes, that is true...but that is also my daughter."
