Everyone went to dinner and were soon back in their rooms. Randy was sharing with Adam and Payton. Payton was playing with dolls while he and Adam were watching a movie. Randy could tell that Adam had something on his mind.
"Adam, are you okay?" Randy asked.
"Yeah. It was just hard to see Krissy."
"I understand that. Anything else?"
"Yeah, I was thinking about Payton's fourth birthday party. It is coming up in a few weeks."
"Any ideas?"
"She wants a princess party and she wants John to be her prince."
"I'm sure he will love that." Randy laughed.
"Oh, she is serious. She wants him to be her date and her prince. She wants a costume party with everyone dressed as a prince or princess."
"That sounds fun. Are you going to let her have it?"
"Yes. She plans to ask John sometime to be her date."
"Why am I not her date? I'm just as fun." He said as Payton walked up.
"Because Uncle John is my prince." Payton said getting into his lap.
"Whose prince am I?" Randy asked.
"You can be my second prince."
"Okay, deal." He tickled her. She giggled as he did.
"Payton, I think it is time for bed." Adam said getting up. "So, let's get a bath and get you into your pajamas."
"Can we have a snack?"
"We will have a snack once you have your bath."
"Okay." She hugged Randy and headed into the bathroom with her dad. Once she was done, they had some graham crackers and it was time for bed.
"Okay, bedtime, ladybug."
"Can we call Uncle John, Jay and Chris and say goodnight?"
"Yes." Adam took out his cell phone and let her call them. Once she had, he put her bed and Randy read her a story.
Everyone was soon in bed with Payton in with Adam. Adam knew that Randy had been good about Payton wanting to sleep with him but he knew Randy needed a break. Payton had gotten so use to sleeping with John that it was difficult to get her to sleep and stay asleep at first but finally she settled down.
The next morning, Adam woke up first and saw that Payton was sleeping peacefully. So, he got up and got dressed before she woke up. She had finally slept through the night with no nightmares. Something he was grateful for. When he came out Randy was awake but Payton was still sleeping.
"I'm shocked she is still asleep." Randy said when Adam came out.
"Me too. She hasn't slept like this in a long time." Adam hoped it meant that her nightmares were leaving and not that something was wrong.
"Maybe her nightmares are over."
"I hope so. There have been times where they were night terrors not nightmares." "What's the difference?"
"With her night terrors, she would sit up screaming but not be really awake. It was scary sometimes that I couldn't comfort her because she wouldn't respond."
"Wow, intense." Randy said just as Payton woke up.
"Morning daddy, Uncle Randy."
"Morning, ladybug."
"I'm hungry."
"Okay, let's get you dressed and then we will go eat." Adam laughed helping her down. She was always hungry first thing in the morning.
Once they were ready, everyone headed down stairs and had breakfast and were soon on their way to the arena.
"So, I'm planning Payton's fourth birthday party." Adam said as he, Randy, John, Jay and Chris sat in the locker room.
"What kind of party is she having this year?" Jay asked. Payton had a Winnie the Pooh party for her first birthday, a Sesame Street party for her second birthday, and a Dora the Explorer for her third birthday.
"She wants a princess party. In fact, she wants everyone to dress up as a prince or princess."
"Sounds fun." Chris replied.
"Yeah." Adam laughed as Payton came over and immediately sat in John's lap.
"Uncle John, will you be my prince?"
"Yes. I will be your prince."
"Yay!" She said clapping. "We have to wear matching colors and you can be my date for the party."
"Okay. So, I guess I can't bring anyone else to the party." John kidded her.
"Who else would you bring? I thought I was your favorite." She said with a sad face.
"Sunshine, you are my favorite and I'm not bringing anyone else to the party. I was just kidding you."
"Oh, okay." She replied with a smile knowing she was his number one girl. "Oh, can we go to the zoo today?"
"Ladybug, I thought you wanted to plan your party."
"No, I want to go to the zoo."
"We will go later."
"But I want to go now."
"We can't go right now. We will go later or tomorrow."
"But I want to go right now! I want to see the animals!" She screamed and stomped her feet on the ground. "I want to go now!"
"Payton Rose Copeland. I told you we would go later or tomorrow. But if you keep up this temper tantrum, no zoo and no princess party."
"But you promised I could have one."
"I know if you were a good girl. If you continued to pitch this fit, you aren't being a good girl. So, what is it going to be?"
"Sorry, daddy."
"Good. Now, stay here with the guys while I go have my match and be good."
"Okay, daddy."
Adam kissed her on the head and headed out to the ring for his match against Triple H leaving Payton with the guys.
"Can I have some chocolate?" Payton asked the guys once Adam had left. She knew they would give in and let her have some.
"Okay, what do you want?" John asked.
"Candy bar. Hershey's with almond."
"Alright, one Hershey bar." John said heading out to the vending machine.
"Uncle Jay, was daddy serious about not having my party?"
"Probably not because he knows how much you want one." Jay knew that Adam would give in to her eventually. He always did.
"Okay." She smiled just as John came back with her candy bar.
"Here you go sunshine." John handed her the candy.
"You rule, Uncle John." Payton hugged him and went back to playing.
"You know Adam is not going to be happy about that." Chris said to him.
"I know but she wanted it. You know I can't say no plus I'm here prince."
"Oh, you are going to let that go to your head." Randy laughed.
"I am not. You all are just jealous that she wants me to be her prince and her date for the party."
"Could you have a bigger head?"
"I do not."
"Guys, we know that Payton loves us all. She just has a Cena obsession right." Chris added.
The guys laughed because they knew he was right. Payton loved them all so much and they loved her just as much. They all considered her their little girl. She was just so sweet and lovable and very precocious. She could make them do whatever she wanted but she could also get them in trouble with Adam especially when they would do something or say something and she would repeat it or try to do also. But there was nothing they wouldn't do for her and each one would protect her.
