2 years later…

"I'm fat and I have to pee…" Chyler said.

"You're having twins honey your supposed to be rotund." She shot John a look "Sorry wrong choice of words."

"I can't see my feet John…"

"Tatum honey guide your mommy to the potty." John told her.

When girls came back the boys where setting in the floor their backs against the sofa watching Hannah Montana. John muted the TV "Sit by me?" he asked Chyler.

"I get down here I may never get up." John shrugged "I'm your human crane baby."

"I just got a little turned on by that hormones are doing funky things to me." John laughed. Tatum laid up on the couch her head near John "Okay tater hand daddy the list." she did.

It was a list all of their friends had complied of names for the twins.

"Okay first up Bart…"

"You're screwing with me right Johnny."

"Nope Miz's contribution."

"I like it we call him Bart the fart…" three year old Holden put in. while stuffing his face with cheesy popcorn.

Chyler laughed. "That wouldn't be nice of you Holden."

"I is monkey butt!"

"He has a point babe." John conceded.

"Give mommy some cheesy corn." Holden moved the bowl out of Chyler's reaching his way of teasing her. "Mine!"

"Son, if you want to live to see four you'll share…believe me mommy is a tad nutty when it comes to food when pregnant." Holden begrudgingly shared his cheesy corn.

"Ok, Olivia?"

"Ooh I like put in the maybe column…"

"That one was courtesy of Sam."

"Seraphina?"

"Now I know your fucking with me John!"

"I'm not I swear honey Dave's suggestion…"\

"Seraphina Cena that's just cruel…"

" I say we name the boy Jesus…." Tatum said. John spit his water all over chyler as he laughed. " heavy name for a little baby Tater."

John looked down at the paper and barely bit back a laugh "I think We'll skip Randy's in put…"

"No seriously what is it John it can't be worse than Seraphina."

"He wrote Liz in big block letters…"

"Your friend is an asshole you know that right John."

"Oh mommy keeps cussing…" Holden said.

"Yes, don't talk like Mommy .'" chyler replied

"I know…Cody suggested Barrett I like it."

"Then it goes in the maybe column."

"Fannie courtesy of Adam."

"reminds Me of the Fannie Mae foundation… no!"

"Mama can we order Pizza?" Tatum asked.

"Sure… in just a bit."

"Ok so we have Macy from becca, Cane from DL, Maura from Maria Ace from Leland and Zorrie from Morrison… and no I'm not playin' what the hell is he on crack?"

"Acid Maybe …" chyler teased.

"I still like Embry Ashton and Decker John." she added

"Embry reminds me of embryo and Decker John sounds like a power sander. No way."

"We can fight about it later I gotta go get the Pizza … you order it Tater?"

"Yes'm"

"Ok Crane boy help me up."

John walked into the hospital. He sat the weeping and clingy Holden in a hard plastic waiting room chair. "Sit stay with your brother do not for any reason at all move." he knew he was being short with his daughter but he was terrified. He actually heard Chyler's voice in his head. "No need to traumatize her Johnny…"

He turned back to his children. "Daddy's sorry its all gonna be fine…just don't move mama will be mad if I misplace you guys."

"Daddy I need to potty…" Holden said "Ok let me go check on mommy then I'll come take you."

John walked over to the nurses station. "My wife Chyler Cena was brought in any word yet?"

"Spell her name for me please

" c-h-y-l-e-r c-e-n-a."

"Her middle name?"

"Ashton A-s-h-t-o-n"

"No nothing yet sir I'll let you know…"

"okay." he walked back over to his kids. "I need to go to daddy but I can't go in the boys bathroom."

"I'll make sure no one is in there first."

John helped his kids in the bathroom doing things step by step. Undoing Tatum's over alls for her and then doing them back up. Reminding Holden to concentrate on aiming for the potty. Then buttoning his pants and tying his shoe for him. When he finished washing their hands Tatum grabbed his face. "it'll be ok daddy no worries."

"From your mouth to god's ears baby."

John called Vince saying he wouldn't be in to work today and why. Holden sat in his lap working on puzzle board trying to jam the bus piece where a plane went.

"Why Mama's car crash daddy?"

"who told you that buddy?"

"Tater…"

She must of over heard the phone call he thought. "I don't know buddy wish I did." Tatum sat curled into a chair across from him. "Come here tater." she did as he bade. He pulled her into his lap. "Its gonna be fine Mama will be fine…"

"Trying to convince me or you?"

"the both of us I guess."

How Sam and Randy and Becca and Leland showed up as fast as they had but he was glad if for no other reason than the girls Would distract Tatum.

Sam Orton watched her friend pace restlessly. She stopped in front of him forcing him to stop. "anything yet?"

"No what are you all doing here?" "Shows in Orlando this week and when Matt called us we came as fast as we could "Rand called becca and they just happened to be on bounty here."

"No one will tell me anything Sammy and I can't remember the last thing I said to her I remember We were joking about what Morison was on when he came up with the name Zorrie but I can't remember if I said I love you before she went out."

"you did Daddy I heard you. And she said love you too ruffled my hair said she'd be right back with my pizza and kissed Holden's cheek and said love yall later alligators."

John sat in the floor his back to the wall staring straight ahead and seeing nothing. He was trying to tune everyone out the business of the hospital the people around him even his own children. However Becca Randy and Leland's arguing about Cady's parentage and lack of DNA test bled through his imaginary protective shield. He thought they'd have enough grace to not fight as they always did when together. While his wife was most likely fighting for her every breath. He was clearly very wrong still they fought.

"Shut up…" warned quietly it continued. "I said shut up!" they all three turned and looked at him. Only Leland managed to look a little shamed.

"Its not my fault Becca is a difficult cold hearted bitch." Randy spat

"Enough! Orton enough just shut the fuck up! You all did this to yourself and its fixable you wanna know what's not fixable a dead wife! You think you all ended up together how did because you loved one another? No it was because you were all selfish at one point or another and couldn't be adult enough to keep it in your pants or keep your legs closed. You did it all you all pay have Cady tested don't have Cady tested either way have the decency to shut the fuck up ! Its not my problem or Chyler's. I am terrified that the woman I've loved for 17 years now might be really sick or dead or that I'll have to tell her our babies are dead! So unless you want me to put one of you through a wall be supportive and or be quiet."

Silence Finally John thought before the tears came.

Everyone else was too afraid to touch him. Sam set down next to him pulling him into a hug as he cried.

"Its ok shh… shh… she's fine You'd know… you'd feel it if she was gone."

"I'm a shitty husband…"

"You are not hush! I won't hear you talk like that."

"What Kinda man lets his seven months pregnant wife drive this late at night and with twins too! Tell me who Sam?"

"Someone who can't predict the future John… you were having fun with the kids so she was happy to let you stay and play with them… it wasn't a big deal… and she knows you love her."

"Daddy Mama's not dead is she I know what dead means…" Tatum asked Making him cry again. Randy scooped her up. "No baby she's not." he answered.

After what seemed like a eternity. The doctor came out. "The family of Chyler Cena?" John was on his feet. Holden stood in his chair. Tatum peered at the doctor her head on Randy's shoulder.

"That's us." John barely found the words.

"Mister Cena we're sorry for the long wait…it took quite awhile to cut your wife from the car upon her arrival we took the babies. They are in the nicu and are holding their own. Your wife also lacerated her liver and broke her left arm. Also had some superficial cuts and bruises. We removed the damage part of her liver she's healthy so it should regenerate its self over time. The major concern I have is your wife appears to have multiple sclerosis upon looking at the cat scan I can see lesions on her brain and spine and judging by the fact she told the EMT her feet went numb on causing the accident. MS is what I believe she has…" Sam caught John as he stumbled. "Just sit down Johnny." she said.

"What-What?"

"I'm sorry sir…"

"She's only thirty two…"

" I know it seems young but she's in the right age bracket for the disease to make itself known…"

"But I don't understand I… she didn't tell me anything…"

"Most likely she didn't know what it was the numbness and tingling can come and go with in a few days… the tiredness she could of brushed off to having to kids and being pregnant… have any of you noticed anything dizziness weakness vision problems the symptoms being worse in the heat or cold…"

"She got really dizzy at house show a few months ago." Sam said "She thought it because she hadn't eaten much that day." she finished.

"Can I see her?"

"Yes of course…we've settled her in a room now. 302."

John sat in the hard plastic chair picking up her hand holding it his. Raising it to his lips he kissed her back and then her palm. Tears blurred his sight but he still managed to make out the wedding band on her hand,

"Your gonna need to hang on Pretty Baby it might be a rough ride." he sniffed back his tears.

"When is it not with you ?" she Joked in a croaky weak whisper. He jumped up holding her face in his he kissed her. "Don't cry…Still here…" his tears had fallen on her face.

"Now what's with the face… that's face I got while dating Sean… so out with it…"

"Baby…"

"The babies?"

"Are fine I named them what you wanted."

"Well if its bad just say it fast honey."

"Chyler the doctors… they say you have multiple sclerosis."
