A few days later, John was at work wrapping up some lose ends on his assignment. He was glad it was over and he was back home but he hated that he didn't get Batista. He was also dealing with the fact that he had missed everything with the pregnancy while on assignment and if he hadn't been, Keleigh wouldn't have lost their daughter. Everything just made him hate Batista more and he hated what happen with Mickie and he hated her. She was the actual cause of what happen with Keleigh and the baby. He hated that he got so close to her and that he broke a promise he made to Keleigh. He was going to make sure that Batista and his whole family went down.

"John, we need you and Kofi to head to New York and meet with the New York agency. They have some information on Batista." Jerry said when he called them into his office.

"When do we leave?" John asked. He didn't' want to leave Keleigh but this was his job.

"You leave tomorrow. We need that information."

"Alright." John replied walking out wishing he didn't have to leave.

Jerry sighed once he left. He knew John didn't want to leave Keleigh but this was important and he knew Keleigh would understand.

Keleigh arrived home and started dinner. The house was always quiet now. Her cat, Snickers, had died when John was on assignment.

"Hey, baby." John said walking in.

"Hey." She kissed him hello and then noticed his face. "What?"

"I have to go to New York for a few days. We have to meet with the New York agency. I leave tomorrow."

"Okay. I understand. I'm sad that you're leaving me so soon but I understand."

"K, I'm sorry I have to leave."

"It's okay. I understand and I'm not upset."

"Okay. I hope this is the last trip. I know I wont' have to go undercover again but meetings like this, I have to go."

"I know. John, this is your job. I understand that. So, let's enjoy tonight." She said just as the oven timer went off. "Now, my cannelloni is ready."

"I love when you make Italian." He kissed her.

She laughed. "I know. Now, set the table."

After dinner, Keleigh helped John pack for his trip. She had to get the answers she needed before he left.

"John, I need to ask you something and I want you to tell me the truth." Keleigh said as they were in their room.

"I always tell you the truth babe."

"Did anything happen between you and Mickie?" It was something that was on her mind since she saw them together at the mall.

"No. I kissed her as part of my cover and dated her. That's it. Nothing else happened."

"Because if it did, I would understand because you were undercover." She didn't want to think that anything happened but she knew that sometimes assignments take a life of their own.

"K, I promise you nothing happened with Mickie. I would never do that to you. I love you more than anything." He hated that he was lying to her. But he couldn't and wouldn't tell her what happened. He wasn't going to hurt her like that.

"Okay, if you say nothing happened, then nothing happened. And thank you for not lying to me." She leaned in and kissed him.

He held her close to him. He hated the guilt he felt for lying to her and cheating. He knew he had cheated because he was lonely. Before the assignment, he and Keleigh were pretty much having sex all the time. And then he was away from her and it was soon six months since they had been together. Mickie was so sweet and innocent. She was hopelessly smitten with him and it was easy to get her into bed. But afterwards, he hated himself and her.

"John, I matter to you right? More than anything?"

"Yes, K, you are the most important thing in my life." He wondered why she was asking. "Why would you ask me that?"

"Because sometimes I wonder. You spend a lot of time trying to get Batista and I some times feel neglected. Like I'm just someone you see at night or just someone you have sex with every night. I feel that you forget about me."

John had no idea she felt like that. He knew part of it was because he was gone on assignment for so long and she was still dealing with Grace's death and just very insecure about things.

"K, I'm sorry if I make you feel like that. You are the most important thing to me. I never forget you and you aren't just someone I have sex with. You are my wife and I love you more than anything. I don't mean to spend so much time on Batista but I just want him behind bars where he belongs. I'm sorry. I love you Keleigh so much." He kissed her gently.

"I love you too. I just needed to hear that I was important to you." She kissed him and got up and led him to the bed.

They then spent the night just being together. John was certain he would only be away for a few days. He knew that he and Keleigh had some trust issues that they needed to work out. He knew he would have to stop being so focused on Batista. He only hoped he could do that.

The next day he left with Kofi for the airport. Keleigh headed to work like always.

"So, K, how long is John going to be gone for?" Eve asked as they were having lunch. Stephanie was in a meeting with some of the big guys of the FBI.

"Just for a few days I hope. I hate this. I hate that we have to be apart because of our jobs."

"I know. Chris and I feel the same." She replied. Eve had started dating Chris who worked with John. Keleigh had introduced them.

"But he isn't' going to New York, is he?" Keleigh asked before taking a bite of her burger.

"No. They are working on something. I'm not sure what. Chris said something about the guys who work for Batista. They think they might be able to get one of them to turn on him."

"He will probably end up like Morrison if he does."

"Probably but Chris thinks he will."

"Who is the person?" Keleigh asked. She knew that sometimes the guys got a little drunk and told everything to their wives or girlfriends. John had let some thing slip before when he was drinking.

"Justin Gabriel. He just recently went to work for Batista and now he is ready to tell everything if the FBI can get him in witness protection."

"I hope he does and Batista gets what he deserves. I hate that man and the fact that my husband is so focused on him."

"I think they will." Eve replied as they finished up and headed back to the office.

The rest of the day went as normal and Keleigh soon arrived home. She was shocked when she found Randy waiting for her. She thought he would be in New York following her husband.

"What are you doing here?" Keleigh asked as she unlocked the door.

"I wanted to see you and see how you were. I know John is in New York." Randy replied following her in.

"I figured you knew he was. Why aren't you following him?"

"Because Dave has others in New York who are going to do that."

"Oh. So, do you want to stay and have dinner with me? I hate to eat alone."

"I would love that."

"Good. So, how is the following coming?" She asked as she began to cook chicken.

"Interesting. John doesn't do much other than work and come home."

"I know that." She laughed. "So, do you take pictures or just write down things?"

"A little of both." He replied before realizing that he probably shouldn't' be talking to her about this. "K, I shouldn't be talking to you about this."

"Right. I really just want to know if you record or take pictures of me and my husband having sex. I really don't want Batista seeing that."

"Relax, K. The other guy who watches with me takes the pictures but I make sure no one see you and John having sex. Except me of course." He laughed.

"You watch us. You're such a perv." She laughed as she put the chicken in the oven.

"Well I try not to watch but you make a lot of noise and I want to know what exactly John does that causes it. Were you always that loud?"

"I would think you would know the answer to that."

"I don't remember you being that loud with me. Is John better than me in bed?"

"I am so not having this conversation with you. John is my husband, so of course, to me he is the best I've ever had. But don't worry, you rank second. Now, let's stop this conversation."

"Alright." He laughed.

He missed this with her. He missed their friendship but he knew he couldn't keep coming to see her. Dave might find out his connection to her and then go after her or use him to get information on Cena which might end up hurting Keleigh. Then there was John. He wouldn't be happy to know his wife was friends with someone in the mob and he might try to use it to get information on Dave. Randy never thought his friendship with Keleigh would be so complicated. They had been friends and sometimes lovers for so long. He just hoped he could stay away and protect her.
