Chapter Ten

Joey paced in the hall glancing at the door a lot. She was anxious. Her hands shook slightly from how anxious she was. She was excited to. John watched her from the chair he sat in. "Joe, come sit down. They'll be here soon."

Joey glanced at him and then slowly walked over by him. She sat in his lap and rested her head on his shoulder, hoping it would somehow relax her just hearing his heartbeat. "I can't believe Mr. McMahon said yes."

"He probably understands you needing to have Kenny around." John suggested kissing her gently waved hair. He wrapped his arms around her and held her small fragile but tough body against his. A smile spread across his lips.

"Hopefully they'll be here soon." Joey whispered. She glanced at the door once more and sighed.

John rubbed her arm gently. "Deep breath Joe. They'll be here soon."

Joey nodded and relaxed once more. She took a deep breath and listened to the gentle steady heartbeat of John's. She closed her eyes and smiled hearing it. Nothing made her relax like his heartbeat.

The door opening made Joey quickly jump up and look over. In the doorway was her brother and a little boy in his arms, Kenny. A smile spread across her face and Joey quickly went over and hugged them both. "Kenny, Ben."

"Mama!" John blinked. Did Kenny really call Joey-?

"Hey baby boy." Joey smiled taking the young toddler into her arms, "were you good for Uncle Ben?"Kenny nodded and rested his head on Joey's shoulder. "Mama." He did. Kenny did call Joey mom. John stayed silent though. Joey would tell him about it when she was ready.

Joey smiled at Ben, her brother, "thank you Ben." She hugged him once more. "Wanna stay for tonight? Then rest with us before going back?" Concern showed in her eyes for the older sibling of hers.

"Sure Joey." He kissed his sister's head before letting his eyes scan the room. They rested on John. Ben looked John over, obviously doing the older protective brother check.

"Ben, this is John. John, my older brother Ben, and my little man Kenny." Joey introduced, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

"Nice to meet you Ben," John reached a hand out to Ben and smiled warmly to the girl he loved's brother.

"You to John." Ben shook his hand and glanced at Joey.

Joey smiled at Ben reassuringly then rubbed Kenny's back, "Ken, its John, John Cena. Remember? What does he say?"

The small four year old took his hand and waved it in front of his face shyly. "You can't see me." John heard him mumble.

Joey smiled and kissed his head, "remember mama got you the picture with John on it and John signed it for you?"

Kenny nodded and then buried his head into Joey's neck. "Mama."

Joey smiled and looked at John, "he's shy. A lot of shy."

John smiled. He was trying to figure out why Joey would be calling herself Kenny's mom. "Its cute." He looked at the siblings. "Well want to go relax in the break room? Its early so we'll have it to ourselves."

"Sure. Why not." Ben shrugged. He grabbed the duffel bag that carried all of Kenny's things and reached to grab a bag of Kenny's toys and the bag that held a playpen.

John quickly grabbed both. "Here, I'll carry it for you."

Ben smiled gratefully at John, "thank you." He caught up with Joey and walked with his sister and their nephew towards the break room, Joey explaining to him all that had happened, leaving out the fight, since she got there.

John followed carrying the rest of Kenny's stuff. He was glad Joey got to have Kenny with her and that she had a chance to see her brother. He liked Ben too. He was protective of Joey, which he understood after losing their other sister.

Joey sat on the floor with Kenny in front of her. "How's my little man?" She looked up and her brown eyes met John's. "Can I see the bag with his toys?"

John nodded and handed the bag to Joey as he set the playpen stuff on the floor next to the couch, out of the way.

Joey opened the bag and pulled out some of Kenny's toys. John recognized them as WWE Wrestling action figures. A smile lit up his face as he saw Kenny automatically reach for his action figure.

Kenny grinned, "I Cena now."

Joey laughed, "Kenny, John is Cena."

"Not now. I am." Kenny handed Joey the Randy Orton one. "You Orton. Viper!"

John chuckled as he sat on the couch next to Ben. "Do they always play like this?"

Ben laughed, "yeah. After Joey made it here, Kenny watches and when she comes out a big grin just appears on his face." He glanced at John, "speaking of seeing things on WWE."

John gulped. He remembered after Joey's first match, a tag-team one with Melina how he kissed her afterwords, in front of everyone. A small blush crept up to John's cheeks.

Ben grinned, "I see you know what this is about. Kissing my sister. On live TV."

John's blush grew to cover his ears. "Yeah, that."

Ben chuckled. "I take it you like my sister?"

"More than that," John mumbled his blush growing by the second and deepening.

Joey glanced over out of the corner of her eyes and grinned amused at John as she played with Kenny.

"Cute. Just don't hurt her okay?" Ben patted John's shoulder. "Take care of her."

"I will. For sure." John's blush slowly went away but Joey still had the memory of it engraved in her mind.

"Good. She deserves the best. And I think you may just be the one to treat her that way." Ben smiled.

"I'm glad I meet your approval." John grinned jokingly at him.

Ben laughed. "You surpassed it."

"Awesome." John smiled happy. "I'm glad I did."

Ben laughed. "But if you hurt her."

"I wouldn't dream of it." John admitted. "not in a million years."

Ben smiled. "Thank you John."

"No problem." John smiled looking over at Joey as she played with her nephew, "none at all." He was glad Joey had her brother for the night and her nephew. Everything seemed alright for her now. He could relax. Except for the one part nagging him about her being called "mama" by little Kenny.
