Chapter 8

I called Stephanie the next day and told her that I wanted to come back. I told her I wanted to come back as John's manager.

I told the kids that I talked to Stephanie about coming back. They were all for it. They loved traveling around.

"We figured that was why you gave Jennifer the job of our nanny," Elena said.

"Yeah, Aurora, Murphy, and Vaughn gave a nanny to watch them, so Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Paul can be doing stuff for the shows," Nathan said.

"That is very true," John said.

"Unfortunately, Nate, Jennifer won't be able to be your nanny when August comes around," I said.

"Why not?" He said.

"Yeah, why not?" Elena said.

"I have to get back to school. I'm on summer break right now," Jennifer answered.

"We start school soon," Nathan said.

"Not for another year, buddy," John said.

"Oh, but you'll have lots of fun," Jennifer said. "But my school is completely different from the one you'll be going to. You'll be going to school to learn to really read, write, do math and lots more. My school is teaching me how to do a job. Your dad went to wrestling school to learn to wrestle."

"Isn't that what FCW?" Elena asked.

"Yes, sweetie," I said. "That was where Stu was for a little bit before he did NXT with Otunga, and all them."

"I like David Otunga," Nathan said. "Even if he did work under John Laurinaitis. Sorry, Daddy."

"That's okay, buddy," John said. "You can like whatever wrestler you want. You like Wade Barrett."

"I like Sheamus better," Elena said.

I smiled. I loved talking to my kids about wrestlers they liked and disliked. They loved all the Divas. Elena's favorite Diva was whoever the Divas' Champion was.

By the time, John and I arrived at the arena with the kids and Jennifer, Stephanie had talked to her dad and there was a deal for me. I would be John's manager (or to get into wrestling terms: valet). It was a trial run for a few months (June to August).

"Are you happy now that I'll be around for a few months?" I asked Stephanie.

"Yes, I am," Stephanie smiled.

We were both in the catering room. I was holding Bianca. Stephanie had Vaughn in her lap. Nathan, Elena, Aurora, and Murphy were sitting at a table with us, eating. The four were all having fun talking and laughing.

"Remember last year the last time you were really here and you so desperately wanted another baby?" Stephanie asked.

"Yes," I smiled. "I got it and she's right here." I gave my baby girl a kiss on the cheek.

"Ewe, get away," Aurora said.

Stephanie and I looked over at our kids. Nathan was trying to get up in Aurora's face with his wide open with food. Little boys tended to annoy the little girls they liked.

"Nathan, don't do that," I said.

"You're gross," Aurora said.

"No, he's not," Murphy said.

Nathan smiled. Stephanie and I grinned at each other. Murphy had a little crush on Nathan. Last year, Nathan didn't like it when she was around when Alanna was there. He said he was going to marry Alanna when they got older. Elena had said she was going to be Alanna's maid of honor in their wedding. Nathan still liked Alanna, but only as a friend. He was going for Aurora, but her little sister liked him instead.

"Remember last year when Nathan kissed Alanna?" I asked.

"Oh, yeah," Stephanie said. "Randy was so angry. His little girl wasn't supposed to be kissing any boys until she was like sixteen."

"Yeah, my little boy is a dare devil like his daddy. You know he likes Aurora now." I whispered the last part.

"Really?"

"Yes, he wants to take after Paul. He wants to marry her and take over the WWE like you and Paul will."

Stephanie chuckled. "I love your little boy. He has a great sense of humor."

"Something else he got from his daddy."

Stephanie smiled.

"Cut it out, Nathan!" Aurora said.

I looked over at my son. He was annoying Aurora again the same way he did before.

"Nathan Anthony Cena, cut the crap right now!" I said in a very angry tone.

Nathan sat back down in his seat, leaving Aurora alone. Whenever I used that tone, it was when I used it at the kids. It was to get them to stop doing what they were doing if they were doing something wrong.

"Maybe Nathan needs to go where Daddy is," Elena said.

"That is a good idea," I said. "It will get you away from all these girls. Can you keep an eye on her for me?"

"Yes," Stephanie said.

"Thank you. Come on, Nathan."

Nathan got up. I took his hand and then the two of us, with me holding Bianca, went to find John. Jennifer was hanging out with the Divas. She had made some new friends.

John was talking with Paul in the hallway.

"Here's your wife," Paul said.

John turned and looked to see me. "Where's Elena?"

"With Stephanie," I said. "Nathan was opening his mouth and showing his food to Aurora, annoying her. Little boys like to annoy the little girls they have a crush on."

Paul laughed. "You have a crush on my little girl now?"

"Yes," Nathan said. "I want to marry Aurora like you married Aunt Stephanie and will take over the WWE one day."

Paul laughed. "You stay away from my daughters, son. My little girls are so young to be getting kissed. I know you kissed Little Alanna Orton last year."

"You should be flattered that he wants to your daughter and not Randy's," John said.

"I did not marry for power. Stephanie and I only fell in love, because we were working together in the McMahon-Helmsley Era."

"Yes, well, Nathan needed to get away from the girls," I said. "So he's all yours."

"Thanks," John said. "Come here, buddy." Nathan went over to John. John picked him up. "Are you annoying Aurora?"

"Yes, but Murphy thinks I'm funny," Nathan said.

"Go for Murphy instead of Aurora. She has had a crush on you since she was two," Paul said.

Nathan grinned. "I'm a ladies' man."

We all laughed.
