Chapter 25

As the weeks passed, John and Amelia had everything all set for the wedding. David made sure that he emailed them with the detail and such. John's parents were flying in a few days before the ceremony to help out with Isabella and JC. Of course, RAW was going to be in town that week as well and John was going to make an appearance at the show.

About two weeks before the ceremony, John had to travel to New York and then to Los Angeles for a media promotion. Amelia hated to see John leave, but she knew that he would be back in a few days and then he was going to be home for the next 3 weeks after the ceremony.

"Hi Johnny." Eve stated when she saw John walk into the radio studio in New York.

"Hello, Eve." John responded as he sent a text message to Amelia.

"I've missed you around RAW." Eve stated as she tried her best to seduce him.

"That's nice. I was at home with my wife and children." John responded.

"Oh you are still married?" Eve asked.

"Very much so. Why do you care?" John answered.

"I heard some rumors about you and your wife splitting up because she was cheating on you." Eve answered.

"Ha. That is so not true. Amelia and I are still very much together and very much in love." John responded.

"Right. Not if we can help it." Eve mumbled to herself.

"What did you say?" John asked.

"Just reminding myself why we are here." Eve answered.

"You do that. I need to find Vince." John responded as he walked off.

While John was off talking to Vince and trying to get out of traveling with Eve. Eve called Beth and told her that their original plan didn't work. Beth thought about it and the suggested that Eve talk John into going to the after party that night to help celebrate their media tour. Eve agreed and she hung up the phone just as John walked back into the room. John and Eve finished out their day of interviews and radio shows before doing a photo shoot as well as an autograph signing before ending the day.

"John why don't you come with me to the after party that the radio station is hosting?" Eve suggested.

"I don't think so. I just want to head to my room and get some sleep and talk to my wife and kids." John responded.

"You're no fun anymore." Eve pouted.

"Oh well. I'm not here to have fun. I'm here to do my job and get back home to Amelia and the kids." John stated.

Once John was back in his hotel room, he called Amelia and talked to her and Isabella. JC was still too young to talk or even listen to the phone conversation. John told Amelia about Eve and watch she had been trying to do. Amelia just shook her head and thought about how grateful she was to have a loving, honest and strong willed husband.

When John arrived in Los Angeles he called Amelia and let her know that he made it. He headed straight to the radio station and did the first interview. Then off to the second and third stations for their interviews before doing a Make-A-Wish meet and greet. Once he was done with all the media in Los Angeles, John headed back to the airport and got on a plane back to Tampa and back to his family.

While at the LAX airport, John was approached by some fans and he gladly signed autographs and posed for pictures. It happened all the time to him and it never bothered him. When he arrived in Dallas, TX the same thing happened. More fans, more autographs and more pictures taken. John was exhausted by the time his flight arrived into Tampa. John looked at the time and grabbed a cab back to the house.

After getting inside the house and setting the alarm, John headed upstairs. Amelia was sound asleep as were the kids. John smiled as he watched his wife sleep for a few moments. John quietly got undressed and slipped into the bed next to Amelia. He hoped that he didn't wake her when he pulled the covers up around him.

"Hey you. You're home a few hours early." Amelia stated when she opened her eyes and saw John.

"Hey. I didn't mean to wake you up baby. Yeah, I didn't see the point in staying at a hotel, when I could just get back on a plane and come home to my wife and children." John responded as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Well, I am glad you are home!" Amelia stated.

"Me too." John responded.

Both fell asleep in each others arms. John and Amelia slept until JC woke up and needed to be changed and fed. Amelia got up and let John get some sleep since he had been traveling all day the day before. Amelia fed JC and fixed breakfast for Isabella who came downstairs while Amelia was feeding the baby.

"Daddy home?" Isabella asked.

"Maybe." Amelia answered with a smile.

"Daddy is home!" Isabella responded.

"Yes, he's home and he's sleeping." Amelia stated.

Isabella didn't wait for Amelia to respond as she got up from the table and headed upstairs and into her parents bedroom. She climbed up on the bed and started jumping up and down. Amelia stood in the doorway with JC who was cuddled against his mommy. John woke up and caught his daughter and started tickling her for jumping on the bed.
