Later That Night
"Oh god," John said panting. "You don't know how much I needed that."
"I don't think I knew how much I needed it...or maybe it's just been that long so it seemed good."
"Oh, girl please. You know that was good."
"Okay, John – oh my God."
"What the hell? Was that like, a delayed squirt or something?"
"Yes, that was a delayed – no John! My water just broke, idiot. Your need for sex has sent me into labor."
"Fuck." John cursed
"Fuck is right. I can't go to the hospital all sexed up!"
"Babe," He said calmly. "Go take a quick shower while I strip the bed. The baby's not going to come that fast." Alex took a deep breath
"Okay. Call my mom!" She yelled from the bathroom. John shook his head as he ripped the bed sheets off. Still naked, he took the sheets and threw them into the washing machine then he grabbed the hospital bag and put it by the door before showering in a guest room. After dressing he found his wife staring at herself in the bathroom mirror
"What's wrong?"
"I'm not ready."
"I see that."
"No. I mean I'm not ready for this baby but she's ready to come out and there's no way for me to keep her in and I, I, I just don't think that I can do this. What were we thinking? We weren't thinking. Are we ready for a baby? Can they keep babies inside...they can do that, right? Like for women who go into labor way too early, right?!"
"Are you done?"
"I don't know."
"Put these clothes on." John said handing the woman an outfit. "Are you having contractions?"
"My belly hurts but I don't know if its contractions yet." Alex said calming down as she put her clothes on
"If you're not then we still have a while so we don't need to rush to the hospital."
"I want to go to the hospital."
"Okay, we'll go. No problem."
"Here." She said handing John a hair tie
"A bun or a pony?"
"A bun please."
University of Colorado Health
"How do you feel?"
"My mouth's so dry." John handed over the cup of ice chips. "Thank you. Did you call my mom?"
"Yea and I called mine. I could hear her getting dressed as we spoke." Alex smiled
"I am in no way ready for the pain but I'm actually glad Baby Coco is coming now." The man nodded
"She's not even born and I'm already in protective dad mode."
"You're going to be a great dad. You're already the best husband."
"The hell are they pumping in your arm?"
"What?"
"You must be high right now."
"No I'm not. I have to be high to compliment you?"
"Well no, it was just unexpected I suppose. Thank you. You're my favorite wife."
"John."
Johnny: we're at the hospital
Codes: cool. Which room?
Johnny: it's 1 in the morning. How did you respond so fast?
Codes: Randy and I never went to sleep. We've been at the hospital
Johnny: what's wrong? Are the two of you okay?
Codes: we're fine. Samantha isn't feeling too great but labor does that to you I've heard
Johnny: my nephew is on his way?!
Codes: yep. 7cm dilated. What's Al?
"How many centimeters dilated are you?"
"Why? Who are you talking to?"
"Cody. Felix is coming."
"Aww he is?"
"Yes and I think he'll be born first."
"I was 6 the last time they checked."
"Ooh, this is going to be a tight race."
"Race? What are the two of you doing?"
"The surrogate is 7."
"This isn't a race."
"Maybe not for you, dear."
Johnny: we're at 6
Codes: doctor came in to check while you were doing whatever. 8
"Damn it." John cursed
"What?"
"She's at 8 now."
"Cut it out. I'm trying to stay calm and you're over here dicking around."
"I'm sorry baby."
Johnny: did you not call mama? Because I swear it sounded like I woke them up
Codes: you did because I didn't call her. We didn't call anyone
Johnny: why?
Codes: we wanted to enjoy the moment and bond with our son before we had people all in our faces
Johnny: oops
Codes: keep them down in your room
Johnny: I'll respect what you guys want but I don't see what the big deal is
Codes: what room are you in? Randy will take your place for a while
Johnny: birthing suite 5
Codes: you idiot. Open the door
"I'm going to talk to my brother for a minute."
"Don't leave me here."
"Randy's going to come in and wait with you."
"Oh. Okay." John got up, kissed his wife then walked to the door and found his brother and brother-in-law standing there
"We're in suite 6. Hi Alex."
"Hi Cody."
"How you feelin', Champ?"
"Stop making me laugh." She said laughing
"We'll be back." John said. He and Cody stepped out of the room and he shut the door behind him. "What's up, bud? How come you didn't want anyone here?"
"The reason I told you. You've had almost nine months to get used to Alex being pregnant and you got to see her belly get bigger and feel Coco when she moved...you know your daughter – Randy and I didn't have that or anything like it so our plan was to have Felix and enjoy him before everyone else came and cut in on our time. It's kind of like we wanted to play catch-up for the almost nine months we couldn't be around."
"Oh." The older man said sadly. "You make me realize how much I take being a straight male for granted. Watching Alex grow and carry our child is the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life and while I was excited for you and Randy I didn't take into account that you guys didn't experience that." Cody wiped his eyes
"Yea, we know."
"Mama and dad will understand, I'm sure." John said hugging his little brother. "And if not I'll just pull mama to the side and explain to her. You know she'd abide by any rules you have. Hell, with as fast as the labor's going Felix might be two by the time they get here." That made Cody laugh. "Don't cry alright?"
"Alright."
"I love you, bud."
"I love you too, Johnny. You should get back in there."
"Right...you and Orton need to get back across the hall to Samantha."
"Send him out here for me, will ya?"
"Sure."
3:37 a.m.
"He's so cute." Randy said resting his chin on top of his husbands head
"Isn't he?"
"Do we have to wait a day or two to see who he looks like?"
"Well he's cute so I assume he looks like me."
"Good point."
"Ya know, I was really happy about naming him Felix but looking at him in there with that nametag makes me wish I'd picked something else."
"What?" The older man said but then laughed when he saw his son's nametag that read: F. Orton. "We won't tell him about it."
"Would one of you like to go in and hold your son?" A nurse asked stepping out into the hallway. Cody looked up at his husband
"Go ahead. Hold him up so I can get pictures." Cody followed the nurse who made him wear a gown and face mask
"Hey Orton."
"Hey...what are you doing out here?"
"Waiting for them to bring Coco."
"How's Alex?"
"Oh my God...I have never heard such foul words come from a person's mouth. Christ." The taller man chuckled. "Where's your little bundle of joy?"
"Right there."
"Is that Cody?"
"Cena...who else would be in there holding my kid?"
"Aww, what a cute little face he has. Reminds me a lot of Cody and Lucy when they were born. I guess the two of you are lucky Felix won't look like you."
"Shut up." Randy said getting pictures of Cody with the baby. John pulled out his phone and started to take pictures as well
"Hi Johnny."
"Hey Codes. Congratulations. Felix is beautiful."
"Thank you. Alex?"
"Resting. I think all the cussing was more exhausting than the labor itself." Cody laughed
"Hey, check it out, Cena." Randy said calling John's attention to the large window
"She has got a lot of hair."
"Well she's part Alex."
"True."
"That is one gorgeous baby, Cena."
"Thanks."
"Yea Johnny, she's pretty."
"Yea," John said on a sigh. "This is going to be a nightmare."
"Told you."
"You still don't know if your son's gay so shut the hell up, Orton. He could grow into a pretty little twink for all you know."
"I'll send him to one of those Jesus camps where they pray the gay away."
"Randy!" Cody hissed as John laughed. "What is wrong with you?"
"Nothing but I don't want him being treated like how I used to treat guys."
"You should have thought about that before."
"Mama and them are here." John announced. "Should I intercept them or is everything cool?" Cody silently checked with Randy
"No it's fine. We got to hang out with the little dude for a while already."
"Coco can stay with us in the suite but the two of you don't have one so how does that work?"
"We have a room. It's not as big as yours but we're still paying for top amenities."
"Oh." John said relieved. "I thought you would have to go home and come back each day to see him."
"Nope, we get to stay."
"My babies!" Mrs. Cena wailed
"Mama hush."
"Congratulations boys." Mr. Cena commented
"Thanks."
"Where are they?"
"The one's marked Cena and Orton, mama."
"Oh my goodness...I have the cutest grandbabies in the entire world. Felix looks like you Cody and a little bit like Lucy as a baby." Randy threw his arms in the air and walked away
"Babe," Cody said laughing
"I want to see." Lucy said. Even at her age she still wasn't quite tall enough to see the row where Felix and Codi were
"You need to grow taller." Her dad said picking her up
"I'm doing what I can, daddy."
"How's Alex?"
"Good...she's getting some much needed rest." Mrs. Cena laughed
"Yea, she better rest as much as she can while in the hospital because once it's the three of you at home," She laughed again then kept laughing. "I haven't had rest since you were born."
"Now I'm scared." Randy said
"All of you will be fine. When do you want me to come and stay?"
"I get two weeks off once he comes home but I'm going to try and get some work in if he ever goes to sleep."
"I had my leave set up for later because Felix wasn't due for another few weeks."
"So it'll be just Randy and Felix then around the time he goes back to work it'll be you and Felix?"
"Yes."
"And how long is your leave?"
"Three weeks."
"So I'll come a few days before you go back to work Cody."
"Whatever you want to do, mama. That's okay, right babe?"
"Yea, it's fine. The extra help will be very much appreciated and you'll get to spend a lot of time with Felix and Coco." Mrs. Cena smiled
"Coco...oh my God that is precious."
"One night I stayed up searching all over the Internet for Chanel stuff for her. I ended up finding the two of the cutest onesies. I wanted to get her shoes too but I thought they were too gaudy." John's mom threw her arms around him in a big hug. "Mama," He said. "You're so cute."
"You're so cute and grown up. You both are and I'm so proud. Two of my babies have babies now. Which cousin is older?"
"Felix."
"Well isn't that something?" Mr. Cena said. "Cody gets married first and his kid is older."
"But now my little Coco will have someone to protect her other than me...we have to send them to the same schools." John said looking at his brother
"Oh, of course Johnny."
"Can you imagine them on their first day of school?" Mrs. Cena said as she began crying again
"Oh my God." Both Cody and John groaned
"Honey, please." Their dad said. "We have a long time before that happens. The two of them are only hours old."
"I know but time just goes so fast. Don't you remember when the boys were born? Now they have kids!"
"Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far, far away from here." John muttered. Randy and Cody turned their backs to everyone so no one would see them laughing
"Mama stop it. You're going to wake all the babies."
One Week Later
Cody walked in the house and stopped himself from yelling for Randy when he remembered that they had a baby now. He smiled as he removed his sneakers then walked downstairs where he knew his husband would be with baby Felix
"Babe," Cody stopped when he said Randy fast asleep with the baby sleeping on his chest. He patted his pockets searching for his phone when he realized it was in his bag upstairs. He dashed back up the stairs and to his bag, grabbed the phone and dashed back to Randy. "This is too cute." Cody said to himself as he took pictures of the two best things in his life. After getting no less than ten shots of his boys the man went back upstairs and took a shower before starting on dinner. He checked to see how many bottles Felix had and mixed more formula as he waited
"Hey babe." Randy said still half asleep. "I didn't know you were home." There was almost nothing sexier to Cody than Randy and his eyes after he'd just waken up but the stirring in his pants stopped when he saw his son
"That's because the two of you were sleeping."
"He stayed up all day." Randy said leaning down and kissing Cody
"Really?"
"Yea so I didn't get any work done...I'm not even sure which one of us fell asleep first to be honest."
"How long were the two of you sleeping do you think?" Cody asked taking the baby as the taller man handed him over
"Four hours...maybe. That's being generous."
"Why didn't you sleep for daddy today Felix? Is it because you want to sleep at night like the rest of us?" Being just over a week old Felix didn't respond but Cody smiled when the boy stared at him with bright blue eyes that mirrored his own. Randy smiled at the two
"I noticed that he doesn't cry often which is nice."
"Baby Codi has colic so she cries a lot...Johnny stopped in at work today. He looks tired but he's still deliriously happy about her which is the cutest."
"I'm sure that can be tiring. I'm new at this whole dad thing but I'll text them later."
"For what?" The younger man asked
"To let them know if either of them want a nap or something during the day they can drop Coco off here and I'll watch her for a while."
"God, you're such a hot dad." Randy laughed
"Am I a DILF?"
"Absolutely babe."
"Maybe I'll let you later."
"I hope you do. And that's really nice of you to offer them that. I don't know if either is willing to part with her right now though no matter how much she cries."
"Well I wouldn't but I'm still going to put it out there."
"You're sweet but let's get back to the F in DILF,"
"No we have other things to talk about."
"Such as?"
"Me getting the rest of that blowjob you were giving me the other day." Cody laughed. "I don't know what the hell you were doing but that shit felt spectacular and then little man here," Randy said gently squishing his son's cheeks. "Had to start crying. I need attention too, kid."
"I'm the king of multitasking so I can take care of you both." The tall man leaned back a little
"You're not talking at the same time, right?"
"Did you just – get out. I'm home now so you can go do some work. Get away from me."
"I was just asking because that would be weird!"
"Pull his cradle swing over where I can see him and get gone." Obediently Randy walked a few feet over to their living room, picked up the swing then placed it next to the kitchen table where Cody could see it no matter where he was in the room
"I'll only work until dinner's done, okay?"
"Okay. Give me a kiss before you go." Randy kissed his husband, then his son and headed down to his office
"I don't want to put you down but this zucchini isn't going to cut itself."
John and Alex's House
"She's so sweaty, oh my God."
"If you cried for hours, you'd be sweaty too."
"Let me have her. Daddy will take care of this."
"What are you going to do?"
"Help my daughter." John said placing a towel in the microwave
"Like I want to ask but then I don't want to ask."
"Have it your way." He said taking the warm towel from the microwave and the crying baby from his wife. "We'll be in the nursery if you need us."
"Okay." Alex said with a raised brow. In the nursery John sat down in the gliding rocker, placed a pillow across his lap then lay Codi down. He unsnapped the buttons of her cotton sleeper and put the towel he had warmed on her belly, closed the sleeper and began to glide
Alex was in the kitchen stirring a pot of penne pasta when she froze. "It's quiet." She said. "What the hell?" She turned the flame down on her vodka sauce and the chicken cutlets and left the kitchen. "What did you do?"
"Warm towel on her little belly."
"How,"
"Googled it. I know she's in pain and I couldn't stand it any longer so I googled safe home remedies."
"You are so getting one of those #1 Dad coffee mugs." John smiled
"And I'll proudly drink from it."
"But seriously, babe," Alex said running her fingers over John's head. "Good job. You're an amazing daddy."
"And you're an amazing mommy."
"Are we that couple now?"
"I guess so. Just cheesily complimenting each other. We're gross now. Remember when we were hot and single?"
"What are you talking about, boy? I'm still hot. Don't let these extra pounds and tummy pooch fool you."
"No you're definitely still hot, baby." John said with a laugh
"You're not too bad yourself." Alex said leaving the room
...
"I think this is the first quiet night we've had since all of us have been home." Alex remarked as she and John sat on the couch
"I think it is and in my head I imagined us cuddled on the couch and sipping wine as Coco slept peacefully but now what I'm really thinking about is taking a whore bath and getting into bed." The woman laughed then covered her mouth
"Can we take real baths, J?"
"I mean you can take a real one if you want."
"John."
"I will take a real shower."
"Thank you."
"You can go first. I'll watch her." Alex kissed John before standing up. "And brush them damn teeth while you're in there, girl."
"Shut up, John." She said laughing as she left. John watched the television for all of one minute before he turned the gaze toward his daughter who lay calmly sleeping on the couch cushion next to him. The man laughed thinking about how big the girl's dark curls would get and if they'd surpass her mother's in fullness. He loved her and it was a love John never knew he could feel for someone, especially someone so small and unaware. He was lucky having met Alex and even luckier now having Codi
Randy and Cody
"Is King Felix asleep?"
"The King is asleep."
"Then you're ready."
"Ready for what?" Randy asked then he watched as his husband slowly pulled the sheet back revealing that he was completely naked. "Oh yea, I'm ready."
"Come on, babe. I'm all yours." The older man played it cool and walked to the bed instead of running like he wanted. He slid in next to Cody who pulled Randy on top of his body
"I love you, Cody."
"I love you too, Randy." The tall man dipped his head down and kissed his husband sensually. With all the passion between the men it didn't take long for their kissing to turn feverish but Randy halted it. "What's the matter?" Cody asked wide-eyed
"I don't want to rush this."
"But Felix,"
"He just fell asleep and is not waking up for a while."
"How do you know?"
"I slipped him some NyQuil."
"Randy."
"You know I'm joking. The kid sleeps for hours at a time so we don't need to make this quick."
"Okay...can we undress you now though?" Randy smiled playfully
"We can undress me." Without exerting much effort, Cody slipped his hands inside Randy's shorts and pushed them down with Randy removing them fully. Having the same thought each man turned onto his side and as they kissed their hands roamed eventually finding the other's erection and stroking it at an almost painfully slow pace. Randy circled his thumb over the head of Cody's cock and through the steadily leaking cum. "Lift your leg up a little." He said reaching for the lube and pumping some onto his fingers. Still on his side, Cody raised his leg up so that the older man had better access to him. The taller man groaned when he saw the tight puckered hole waiting for him. "You have the best fucking ass I've ever seen, baby." He rasped
"And it's all yours."
"Yea?" Randy asked sliding a finger inside
"Mmhm." Cody responded licking his lips
"All mine?" He asked adding another finger and moving them together
"Yes Randy." The younger man moaned
"Say my name again." Randy said removing his fingers and pausing at the man's entrance. "Say it." He said pushing his dick inside
"Mmm Randy."
"That's sounds beautiful, baby." He crooned working his hips slowly
"Damn that feels good. Get deeper inside me." Keeping the slow movement of his hips the older man pushed in deeper. There was no rush so the men shared kisses between them. Some quick, some soft and sensual while some of their kisses were chaste but for each of those there were some that were downright sloppy. Randy rolled his pelvis rhythmically thrusting in and out of his husband deeply as both men grunted and moaned. "Oh god," Cody groaned. "I'm cumming Randy." The older man stopped moving and just let his cock rest on the man's prostate as he climaxed. The tightening and pulsing of Cody's channel drew the orgasm from Randy
"That was fantastic."
"Are you bragging on yourself?" Cody asked
"Of course not...you were there." He laughed
A Month Later
Cody had just given Felix a bath and was dressing him a white bodysuit with blue sailboats and a pair of red and blue stripped pants. He wanted his son to look extra cute for his grandmother's arrival later that day. He gave one of the boy's red chubby cheeks a kiss as he walked them to the kitchen. In the kitchen Cody took a bottle from the refrigerator and placed it in the bottle warmer
"Just give me three minutes Felix." He said bouncing the boy on his hip as he began to fuss
Ev: hey Codes
The man checked his phone that sat on the counter top
Codes: hey Ev. What's up?
Ev: nothing much. What are you doing?
Codes: warming a bottle for Felix
Ev: aw. I can't wait to see that adorable little monster again
Codes: lol. He misses his uncle Evan so come anytime
Ev: Wade and I were looking at houses out there
Codes: are you moving here?
Ev: we're not sure but it's a serious option
Codes: well you know I'm going to try to convince you
Ev: and I know how persuasive you can be
Codes: I try my best
Ev: ha-ha. I actually had a question for you
Codes: what?
Ev: has Randy ever let you top?
Codes: I like that you assume I'm not the top
Ev: you always did make me laugh Cody. But seriously
Codes: we tried it once
Ev: tried it once. That doesn't sound good
Codes: the bottle's ready so let me get situated and I'll call you
Ev: I'm laughing already. ...and I'm waiting
Cody grabbed the bottle and shook it on the way to the bedroom. He sat back on the bed and got comfortable then started feeding his son who was very hungry
"Hello?"
"Hey Ev."
"Hey...so tell me this story. I'm dying to hear it."
"Well I'm just going to start off by saying it was a terrible experience." Cody could hear his friend giggling. "Anyway, Randy and I had been together for a while and he asked me if I had ever thought about topping him and I had so I told him yes but I wasn't ready to. Fast forward to one night we were fooling around and I was in a mood so I started to rim him, which I'd never done before,"
"No?"
"No."
"Okay."
"Then one thing led to another and we're in missionary, I'm poised to stick it in and..." Cody's voice trailed off
"And?!"
"Nothing...I couldn't do it."
"What do you mean you couldn't do it?"
"The whole penetration part...I wasn't able to do it. I was there and the thought of me being inside of him made me want to vomit. Like, I almost started crying."
"What?!"
"Yea! The idea just repulsed me, Ev. Randy had to talk me down from an anxiety attack."
"That really sounds terrible."
"It was. Needless to say, it's quite obvious that I'm a bottom only which is fine for me but sucks for him."
"Why?"
"He's versatile and sometimes likes to sub but I just can't. Were you and Wade thinking about it?"
"We talked about it but I don't want to. While I don't think I'd have an experience like yours, I find nothing appealing about climbing on top of him or getting behind him...just – ugh."
"So tell him that." Cody said with a laugh
"I am I just wanted to talk with my bestie about it first just to make sure I wasn't strange."
"Oh no, I think we're both a little strange but we like what we like."
"That's true."
"Is everything with the wedding okay?"
"Yea and I can't wait for it to be over. We should have eloped like you guys. Our families are driving us insane."
"Oh?"
"Was that Felix?" Evan asked
"Did you hear that?" The other man asked laughing
"Yes!"
"He finished this bottle so quick."
"Is he chubby? Chubby babies are the cutest."
"He's got chubby cheeks and a round little belly. I'll send you some pictures."
"Please do."
"Of course. So what's going on? You're being driven insane?" Evan sighed
"It's like because we're gay our families are trying to overcompensate and it's annoying. No one understands better than us what it's like to not have the privilege of getting married or even having your marriage frowned upon. In trying to make this seem quote unquote normal they're really just making it a spectacle."
"You and Wade need to call a serious timeout. Tell them that you appreciate what they're trying to do but they need to bring it down a few notches because this can ruin the day."
"This is exactly what we don't want."
"Tell them sooner rather than later."
"So I need to tell Wade that I have no desire to stick it to him and he and I need to tell our parents to pump the breaks on this wedding nonsense."
"Yes."
"I need a vacation."
"There's a baby here who cries sometimes but you're more than welcome to escape and stay here."
"I'll come and babysit. Oh! When's your mom coming?"
"Today."
"Aww, how long is she staying?"
"We don't know. She'll be helping with Coco too."
"Who is also too adorable."
"I know. Johnny's so in love with that kid which kind of makes her cuter."
"Oh shoot," Evan said. "My break's been over for ten minutes." He said laughing. "I have to go Codes."
"Okay. We'll talk later."
"Definitely."
"Bye Ev."
"Bye." Cody did a diaper check on Felix before he started to rock him gently in an effort to put him to sleep. With his belly full it didn't take long for the baby to fall asleep. He lay the boy on the bed then lay down next to him and also fell asleep
...
"Why are you touching me?" Cody groaned
"Because I'm your husband and when I put that ring on your finger it meant that I own you and can touch you when I want." The younger man rolled over and frowned
"What?"
"What do you mean what? Why are you asking why I'm touching you? I'm home from work...greet me."
"Did I say that?"
"Yes."
"Oh. Hey Randy."
"No. Don't hey Randy me...I told you that you wake up sometimes and say stuff but you don't even realize."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Well you better know what I'm talking about. If you start having night terrors and begin hitting me in your sleep I won't hesitate you bop you upside the head – sleep or not." Cody laughed
"If I ever hit you I won't be sleeping. What are you doing home so early?"
"Mom's coming and I know that you need to get food ready to take down to the Cena's for dinner so I came home to help out."
"Oh, aww, you're cute. Felix is still knocked out so you can go downstairs and work if you want to. Just take a monitor so you can hear him when he wakes up."
"I finished all my work for the day. I'm free."
"Oh...I don't have anything for you to do."
"That's okay. I'm going to change and hangout with my boy."
"He's sleeping but alright."
"How long were you sleeping?" Randy asked munching on some grapes from the fridge
"Over an hour maybe?"
"Okay."
Later
"Who's that at the door, Felix? Is that your GG?" Randy asked the boy as they walked to the front door. He adjusted the baby in his arms and opened the door. "Hi GG." He said waving Felix's hand
"Hi Felix!" The woman said kissing his cheek. "Hi Randy."
"Hi mom. Let's make a trade, the baby for your bags."
"Sounds good to me."
"Mama!?" They heard Cody yell from the kitchen
"Oh I forgot all about him."
"Mom!" Randy whispered harshly
"Hi my baby boy." Mrs. Cena said kissing her son. "How are you? You look good."
"I am good. Isn't he cute?" Cody asked when he saw his mom smiling sweetly at Felix as she held him
"He's so cute...well he looks like you. Are you proud?"
"A little bit. Randy was a cute baby so we would have been okay either way."
"Randy's a big cutie now."
"He is a big cutie."
"Aw, I heard that. Thanks mom." Mrs. Cena smiled
"Do you need me to do anything?"
"Just hang with your grandson. Once I transfer my macaroni and cheese into a pan we can head over to John's."
"Is he home yet?"
"He might be. If not he'll be there very soon. Alex is home."
"I know but I'll wait for John to get home so I can have more one on one time with Felix. Once we go over there I won't know who to hold."
"You'll be on baby overload."
"I can't wait."
John and Alex
"Mrs. Cena." John said walking into his bedroom
"Hubby." Alex responded. "How was work?"
"I did some work. How was your day?"
"Busy. I finally got all of our laundry done."
"I see that." The man said looking at the piles of clothing and linen on their bed. "Where's Coco?"
"On the other side of that pile of towels." He tilted his head to the side and moved around the bed then saw his daughter lying there. He smiled
"Hi Coco." The baby girl just sucked her pacifier like Maggie Simpson. "I'm going to change then help you put all this stuff away."
"Thank you."
Later
"Can you get the door please? It's probably The Orton's and mom." Alex said opening the top oven
"Of course I can get the door, my love." John walked over to the door and opened it. "Mama!"
"Hi John!" The man hugged the older woman tight. "Where's my other grand baby?"
"Over here getting her swing on."
"Don't you love this swing?" Cody asked
"Yes. I want to hold her all the time and feel bad when she's awake and I'm not but putting her in there just seems so cozy. It leaves Al and I with free hands and Coco's chillin."
"Hey guys!" Alex called from the kitchen
"Hi dear." Mrs. Cena said hugging her daughter-in-law. "How are you?"
"Tired but it's a good tired."
"You look great."
"Thank you."
"She should. She's barely eating and exercising like a mad woman."
"Shut up John."
"Alexandra." Mrs. Cena said using a motherly tone. "You can't do that to yourself. It hasn't even been eight weeks. A little baby weight is okay."
"For the record I want to state that I am eating. I pump breast milk throughout the day so I need to eat and I'm not exercising like a mad woman as my lovely husband would have you believe. I don't have the time to do that...but yes, I am watching what I eat and exercising when I can." John narrowed his eyes at the woman
"Why don't you come to the gym? I can get you toned up in no time without it being strenuous. Toning is all you really need because you didn't gain much weight to begin with."
"I gained almost 30 pounds."
"That's just about the middle of average. Come to the gym when you get a chance and only if you want to. I'll get you back where you want to be free of charge. You have to be healthy, okay?"
"Okay."
"Now," Cody said clapping his hands together. "Is the oven still warm because I want to bake this mac and cheese so it's nice and melted?"
"Yep. I just took the meat out." Cody placed his prized macaroni and cheese in the oven then went over to see his niece. "I see her all the time but can't get over how cute she is...or how much hair she has."
"I know!" Alex said with a smile. "I can't wait to get her pictures done again because she's got the cutest barrettes."
"You're not going to put one of those headbands on her are you?"
"Ew, no."
"When are you getting those done?" John asked. "I need more for my desk."
"I haven't made the appointment yet but I'm thinking the three month mark."
"Let me know because I want to get more of Felix too." Randy said. "For my desk of course."
"I don't have a desk." Cody said
"Yea me neither unless you count the nurses station."
"Aha." John and Randy mocked at the same time. Alex and Cody shared a look and shook their heads
While the macaroni and cheese was baking in the oven the group set the table with the exception of John and Cody's mom who was just gushing over the babies
"Have you ever thought about putting bacon in this?" Alex asked Cody in reference to the mac and cheese
"No but I have put broccoli in it before. It was my way of making us feel less guilty about eating it, you know, vegetables."
"How was it?"
"Delicious." Randy answered quickly making everyone laugh
"I didn't cook the broccoli completely so even after it baked in the oven it still had a little crunch to it."
"Oh man," The younger woman said almost drooling. "That sounds good."
"Did I mention that it was delicious?"
"Yes Randy, yes you did."
"Just making sure we're clear on that."
"Crystal."
"How long are you staying, mama?" John asked as he picked up the woman's plate
"I'm not sure yet. I would say until Cody and Randy tire of me but I also have to get back to Lucy."
"We're not going to tire of you." Cody said
"Maybe you won't but I'm sure Randy will."
"Oh, like I'd actually admit that." The tall man said. "Especially with y'all staring at me like you are."
"You got a problem with my mama, Orton?"
"Get out of my face, Cena." Randy said standing. Cody laughed to himself at how much taller Randy was than his brother
"I saved all the pictures I had on my phone to the computer just so I could delete them and have room for these two." Mrs. Cena said taking some pictures of Codi and Felix as they slept next to each other on the couch
"She's so cute." Alex said
"Who? My mom?" John asked
"Yes. Look at her go." He laughed
"You have to get lots of pictures of them now because they grow up fast."
"Mom they're not even two months old yet."
"I know Randy but you'll see. I remember when you were a kid and now look at you – a married father with a house and a career so just you wait, just you wait until these two are all grown up."
