5 years later…

"Why does it seem like every time I piss you off, I end up in some handicap, first blood match?"

"Why is it that every time I turn around you are pissing me off?"

"Having two of your best friends work in the writing department is not fair, Trisha."

"Stop bitching, Orton." Randy and Trish stood in front of John's house, getting ready to walk in. A couple of days ago, some misplaced remarks from Randy had him sleeping on the couch and having a handicap match with Paul and John. The couple had been married for a little over two years and if they didn't kill each other; they might have a chance at happily ever after. Vanessa always teased the two for being the in-ring power couple of the WWE. Stephanie and Paul were the backstage power couple. Trish had left wrestling for awhile to try and concentrate on other projects, but she found herself missing the crowd too much. Within a year, she was back and better than ever. The fans can't seem to get enough of Trish and due to the on-screen pairing of her and Randy; Randy was finally a babyface. He went on to hold the title twice more in the past few years and he was now at the top of his game.

"One of these days, Trish, one of these days." Randy opened up the front door and proceeded to head towards the kitchen where he heard commotion.

"Keep on Orton and you will find yourself hanging from the ceiling by your ball sack." Trish walked past him and opened the refrigerator to grab a bottle of water. Randy grabbed her by her waist and pulled her back.

"You know you love me." Trish rolled her eyes, but couldn't stop the grin on her face. She let Randy kiss her neck while she let a soft moan.

"Jesus Christ, I don't want to see that shit in my house."

Trish stuck her tongue out at John Cena as she moved over to give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Don't be jealous."

"You're right; that must be my problem." John replied sarcastically.

Trish grabbed a bag of chips and started putting them in a bowl. "Where is everyone?"

John shrugged. "I figure on their way. Hey Orton, make yourself useful and grab a plate of meat."

John and Randy went outside as Trish started setting up the appetizers. Trish looked out the window and shook her head. John and Randy had decided to use the barbeque utensils as weapons. They were currently chasing each other around the grill.

"Hello, hello, hello?"

"In the kitchen." Stephanie and Paul walked through the kitchen with 5-year old Aurora and 2 year old Shawn in tow. Paul set down the case of beer as each one gave Trish a hug.

"Aunt Trish!!!!" Trish reached down and picked up Shawn. Shawn was the perfect combination of both of his parents, while Aurora was Stephanie; all the way down to the bitch slap.

"Where's everyone?"

"John and Randy are in the backyard and no one else has gotten here yet." Paul nodded and headed towards the back.

Stephanie sighed and leaned on the counter. She smiled as she saw Trish interacting with Shawn. "Have you told him yet?"

"No not yet. I'm waiting for the right time. Maybe at the wedding."

"Hasn't he even noticed?"

Trish raised her eyebrows at Stephanie. "Have you met my husband?"

"Sorry. Good point."

The girls were interrupted by the arrival of Dave, Lisa, Mark, Glen, Steve, Ric, and Adam. Soon enough, half of the roster was gathered at John's house for the celebration. It was time for laughs, food, and booze. Something that these wrestlers were very good at.


Trish yelled over at John from her seat on the lounge chair.

"Hey Cena?"

"Yeah?"

"Where the hell is Nessa?" John looked around as he just now noticed that she had been missing.

"I'm right here jackass. Nice to know you were all worried about me." Vanessa walked through the backyard as everyone greeted her. She walked over to John and gave him a quick kiss.

"I was worried. I just figured that you were ok." Vanessa rolled her eyes and made her way through the crowd. There were hellos and hugs exchanged all around. She headed over towards the back table and sat down.

"What the hell took you so long, darlin'?" Mark asked while sipping his beer. Mark had retired three years prior, but he and Vanessa had remained the best of friends. They made sure to call each other at least once a day. Finally after some probing and begging from Vanessa and Sara, Mark decided to pack up and move to Florida. Mark complained that it was nothing like Texas, but deep down Vanessa knew it was starting to feel like home. Especially since all his friends were within a five mile radius. A year after Mark retired, so did Glenn. The two got together and opened a wrestling school, Brothers of Destruction wrestling. The school has been open for more than a year and the men had to stop accepting applications because of the overwhelming response.

Vanessa let out a yawn. "Last minute wedding shit. I can't wait for this to be over."

Dave nodded. "You ain't the only one." Vanessa leaned over and placed her head on Dave's shoulder. The two of them had remained their tight knit friendship and were closer than ever. Looking back, Vanessa and Dave couldn't figure out how they almost jeopardized their friendship in the first place.

Vanessa stood up and looked around. For the first time in a long, long, time, she noticed all of her friends being truly happy.

She saw Stephanie and Paul talking to Adam and a very pregnant Amy. After years of going back and forth with one another, they finally were getting ready to bring a baby into the world. Of course, Adam swore marriage was out of the question and Amy seemed ok with that.

She saw Lisa engrossed into a conversation with Jay and Chris. Lisa and Jay were able to work past their problems and had slowly become comfortable with one another again. Vanessa remembered when Lisa told her she forgot how good of a friend Jay had always been.

Trish was talking to Candice and Ashley and laughing as Shawn pushed Randy into the pool. Everyone was happy and healthy and she couldn't be more grateful.

She felt someone wrap their arms around her waist. Vanessa leaned and back and shut her eyes. "Whatcha thinking about?"

"Tomorrow."

"Yeah, it's a big day."

"Sure is."

"Can you believe it?"

"I was just trying figure out what took so long." Vanessa looked over and kissed John on the lips.

The main reason why everyone was hanging out in the backyard was because tomorrow was a very special day. Tomorrow, one of their own was getting married.
