The One I Love to Hate

Chapter 12

Chapter 12: A New Love Blooming

Over the last couple weeks, John and Natalie had actually started spending a lot of time together, surprisingly not fighting. The twosome had a vacation this weekend, and John wanted to surprise Natalie with something at his house.

"Hey, you ready to go?" John said peeping his head into the women's locker room, talking to Natalie.

"Yeah, let's go." Natalie said walking out of the locker room after saying goodbye to her supposed 'crew'.

---at John's house--

"Damn, I'm so tired." Natalie said laying down on John's couch.

"Just relax there, honey. Make yourself at home. I am just going to take these bags up to our room."

Our room, I really like the sound of that. Natalie thought to herself.

Natalie soon fell asleep - being pregnant was very exhausting. After awhile, she finally awoke to John watching an old OVW tape.

"Morning, beautiful."

"How long have I been sleeping?" Natalie said stretching.

"Only two hours. It gave me time to unpack our bags."

"Oh I see."

"I got a surprise for you."

"What is it?"

"If it's a surprise, why would I tell you?"

"Whatever. What is it?" Natalie said standing up, anxious to know what exactly the surprise was.

"Close your eyes and grab my hand." John said leading her up the steps.

"I don't trust you." Natalie giggled.

"Why would I let anything happen to you?" John added sincerely.

"I dunno." Natalie smiled at his kindness.

"Okay, here we are."

"What is it?"

"You know you're very impatient."

"Who cares!"

"Open your eyes."

When she opened her eyes, she gasped at the sight in front of her. Here it was - a pink baby's room with three pink walls and a wrestling ring painted on the other wall.

"John, this is so beautiful." Natalie said, with tears brimming her eyes.

"I think so."

"When did you do this?"

"I've been doing since we found out that it was a girl. Randy's been helping me. I think it turned out great."

"Yeah, I can't believe this. This is so unbelievably beautiful. Everything is so perfect."

"Yeah." John gushed, she liked his gift.

--later on that night, at dinner--

"Can you believe it in less than five months we're going to be parents?"

"Very hard to believe."

"Maybe it was destiny."

"What do you mean, it was destiny?"

"I hate to turn all softy here, yo, but I think it was our destiny to have a baby together and hopefully fall in love."

"Where did this softy Cena come from?" Natalie kidded.

"You like him?"

"Maybe." Natalie winked. "I hate to say this, but I kind of agree with you."

"About what, darling?"

"Darling? Nice. No, about destiny."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

--that night-

"So what are we watching?" Natalie said coming down the stairs in her pajamas.

"I dunno. Whatever you want to. I kind of wanted to watch Walk the Line."

"Oh yeah, I wanted to see that. Did ya get it?"

"Yeah, come here."

"I was going to get something to drink, ya want something?"

"Pepsi's good."

"Alright." Natalie said walking out to the kitchen. She went to the refrigerator and seen the baby's ultrasound picture, with John's handwriting on it. Our baby..

"That is so cute." Natalie said to herself as she got inside and grabbed a green tea and Pepsi.

"You ready to watch it?" John said as Natalie cuddled up next to him.

"Stick it in."

"I already did that twice, if ya get what I'm saying." John winked.

"You are so bad!" Natalie laughed.

"I wasn't talking about that, pervert."

"You were, don't deny it." Natalie hit him.

"Ouch, baby. You hurt me." John acted.

"Such a wuss. Pop the damn movie in."

"My god, this baby has you so damn impatient."

"Whatever." Natalie kissed him, which shocked both of them with her sudden action.
