A few weeks later, John and Randy sat in the arena watching Mike work in the ring with Kofi. He was laughing and joking. And he had at least a little of his old intensity back.

"He's been in a great mood all day."

"Because Ryann, Melody and Alden will be here today."

"Do we have a romantic situation?" Randy asked.

"Romantic situation for who?" Mike asked as he and Kofi walked up.

"For you and Alden." John replied. "But I don't want you guys together until she's at least six. You can't rush things. She's much younger than you."

Mike smiled. "It'll be tough. You know she is the girl of my dreams. But I'll try to contain myself."

"That's good to know." John smiled. "I don't want to have to hurt you."

"Don't worry dad." Mike replied with a laugh. "I'm willing to wait until she's six."

"Good." John laughed.

"I'm going to shower. See you in a bit." Mike said walking away.

Randy turned to John. "Nice save Cena."

"What?"

"Talking about Mike and Alden to throw him off that we were talking about him and Ryann."

"I wasn't exactly doing that. My daughter does have a little crush on Mike. She calls her Uncle Mike her best guy besides daddy."

"Are you going to have issues when and if Mike gets with Ryann?"

"No. Because Alden has it in her head that she will marry Josh."

"Matthews?"

"Yep." John laughed. "Josh gave her some chocolate a little while ago and since then he gives her some every time he sees her. And she, being her mother's child, fell in love with him for giving her candy. And she says, they are getting married and will have chocolate every day."

"Isn't that how you got Melody to begin with?" Randy laughed. "You gave her chocolate."

"I gave her a lot more than that."

"Oh I remember." Randy laughed. "There was the whole chocolate and whip cream thing in the kitchen. Needless to say, I had to clean up the kitchen."

"I helped."

"No, you didn't." Randy added.

"Okay, I didn't." John laughed. "The point is Alden associates chocolate with marriage and being happy. I think it does have to do with the fact that I gave Mel something chocolate all the time during her pregnancy."

"You still do."

"True. What time did Jamie say they'd be back?"

"About an hour. They should be landing now."

"Good. I'm excited to see my girls." John smiled as Mike walked up. "So, Jamie is gone to pick up the girls. Are you excited to see Ryann?"

"I'm excited because she's my friend and I think it would do her good to get away from everyday life." Mike replied sitting down by them.

"I'm sure the girls are going to love having her here." Randy replied.

"They have gotten close lately." John added.

"She's gotten pretty close to all of us." Randy said. "How can you not like her? She's smart, sweet, funny and she makes baked goods for a living?"

"You just love baked goods." John kidded him.

"Yeah, I do." He laughed.

"Let's go get some food." Mike said to them. They nodded and they headed out.

Jamie stood at the airport near baggage claim. Brandon had been dying to see Alden and he was getting a little impatient. "Calm down sweetie. She'll be here soon."

"I'm cited." He smiled big at her.

"I know baby." She laughed just as Ryann, Melody and Alden came into view. "Who is that right?" she said pointing to them. Brandon smiled and took off running toward them. He hugged Alden. "Brandon, let her breathe." She laughed and hugged Melody and Ryann. "Nice to see you guys."

"You too. I've been so looking forward to this." Melody smiled. "I missed my hubby so much."

"Spare me the details. He missed you too. Ryann, it's so good to see you."

"You too. And this little guy." She smiled picking up Brandon.

"He's been excited about this visit." Jamie laughed. "So, let's go to the hotel."

"Is Josh there?" Alden asked as they walked out to the car.

"I'm sure he is." Melody laughed. She noticed the looks from Jamie and Ryann. "What? She's in love with Josh Matthews. If Jerry or JR gave her candy, she would be in love with them."

"Mike's been looking forward to seeing you guys too."

"I missed Uncle Mike."

"And apparently my husband and son have missed Ryann."

"I brought treats for Randy."

"I swear if he'd met you first he would have married you." Jamie laughed. "That man has a sweet tooth a mile wide."

Ryann laughed too. "Then I guess it's good I brought some."

Everyone laughed as they got into the car. Once the kids were buckled in, they headed to the arena. "All of the guys at the arena." Jamie said as they drove. "They said they'd meet us there."

"Great. I can't wait to see John." Melody smiled.

"I can't wait to see daddy, uncle Mike, uncle Randy and my man, Josh." Alden said with a smile.

Ryann laugh at her as they pulled into the arena parking lot. They got out and headed inside. She didn't' know why she was nervous about seeing Mike. They walked down the halls of the arena and Jamie smiled when John and Randy came into view.

"Daddy!" Alden said running to John.

"Hey, peanut." John said picking her up. "I missed you."

"I miss you too." She said putting her head on his shoulder.

Melody smiled when she walked up. "What about me?"

"I missed you too." John said leaning in to kiss her.

"Good because I missed you." She smiled.

"Ryann, nice to see you too." John added.

"Thanks and I brought this for you guys." She said holding up the cupcakes.

"Cupcakes?" Randy asked and she nodded. "Yes, you so rule." He said taking the box.

"Let's to the locker room. Mike is there." John said as they headed to it.

Mike looked up when they walked in and smiled. His eyes went to Alden first as she squirmed down out of John's arms and ran over to him. He gave her a hug and spun her around before he put her back down. Then his eyes landed on Ryann.

"Glad you could come." He said to her.

"Well I appreciate the invite." She smiled.

"These cupcakes are awesome." Randy said walking in with Jamie and eating the cupcakes.

"Thanks, Randy." Ryann laughed.

"Did you save any for the rest of us?" Mike asked.

"One or two." Randy replied.

"One or two?" Ryann replied. "I made twenty-four cupcakes."

"I'm kidding. I only had four."

"Only four? You've been outside for two seconds."

"He unhinged his jaw and ate one whole. I don't think that he even chewed it."

"Ha, ha." He replied. "Here is the rest of them." He handed the box to Mike. "So, I have a sweet tooth. You all have had her cupcakes. They are like the best in the world."

"The best in the world?" Phil said walking up. "I have to try one of these best in the world cupcakes." He quickly grabbed one before anyone could stop him.

"Hey, he ate my cupcake." Alden whined. "I had picked that one out."

Phil looked at her. "I'm sorry short stuff. How about I bring you some M&Ms to make up for it?"

"Fine." She huffed and walked away over to her dad.

"These cupcakes are good." Phil replied.

"Thanks." Ryann replied.

"She's owes a bakery and makes the best muffins too." Jamie added.

"You can bake and you're beautiful. Sounds like my kinda girl. Would you like to hang out after the show?"

"Sorry Phil, she has plans." Mike said before anyone else said anything. "We're all going out to dinner after the show."

"Well maybe another time." He smiled and walked out.

"Well, I guess someone has an admirer." John replied. He noticed his wife's look. "Or maybe not."

"I think us all going out tonight is a great idea." Melody replied.

"Good. So, we will meet here after the show." Mike replied.

Everyone agreed and they got ready for the show. Ryann, Jamie, Jake and Alden watched the show from the locker room. After it was over and the guys were showered, they headed out to eat. Mike was glad that Ryann was there but he didn't like Phil hitting on her. He would just have to watch him.
