One more chapter to go, enjoy!
Chapter 29
John and Mackenzie had a long discussion after that morning, and John decided that Mackenzie was going to fly home from Dallas on Monday to take the rest of the time off until she has the boys. She put up quite a fight, but John overruled her by getting the doctor involved.
He had called the doctor up and asked what his thoughts were, the doctor reminded Mackenzie that most twins don't carry full term and that she could end up having these babies at any time. She gave in and agreed to go home after John and Shawn won the tag titles the next night on Monday Night Raw.
And they did just that. John was now the WWE Champion and the WWE Tag Team Champion with Shawn Michaels. Paul had gotten injured and was taking some time off to recuperate, and get things ready for the baby when she arrived.
"John, I don't want to go..." Mackenzie whined standing in front of the security check point, when she left John couldn't go past that point.
"I'm sorry babe, but this is the best thing for you;"
"I know," She pouted wrapping her arms around him.
"There's a surprise for you when you get home, so make sure you call me before you step in the house, ok?" He asked. She stuck out her bottom lip further and scrunched her nose up, "That is an ugly face..." He laughed.
Mackenzie's jaw dropped and she smacked his shoulder, "That is so rude,"
He kissed her softly, "I'm sorry... " He ran his hands through her hair and kissed her forehead. "I love you, and call me when you get home... ok?" He asked looking down at the time.
She sighed, "Ok, when are you going to be home?"
"I will leave Wednesday, and we'll be in Boston for a couple of days..." He stated coolly. "Randy's going to stay with us on Thursday and Friday..." He reminded her.
"Ok," She nodded her head. "I love you," She kissed him before letting go and being ushered through security. He stood there watching her until she was out of his viewing range.
John stood still not wanting to leave, he hated seeing her fly alone, especially pregnant. He wanted to go with her but he had a signing that afternoon that he couldn't miss or Vince was going to have his ass. He fiddled with his keys and checked to make sure there were no delays.
Feeling a bit more comfortable he left the airport to head back to the hotel. He stepped in to the lobby and signed a few autographs and took a few pictures. He was asked a bout Mackenzie and how she was doing, and then someone noticed the ring on his left finger.
"Oh my god, did you get married?" A girl asked in tears.
John nervously looked at her and smiled, "Yes actually, Mackenzie and I got married two weeks ago..." He reported.
"Oh my gosh!" Another girl shrieked. "She is sooo lucky!"
"John I want to marry you," Another girl cried out from the crowd.
John smirked and smiled, "I'm flattered really," He grinned.
Randy got off of the elevator and noticed a huge crowd surrounding John and sauntered over coolly. The girls took one look at him walking around in gym shorts and a wife beater and ran towards him. John smiled and gave his best friend a lift of his chin as he was asked to take a few pictures with his on-screen rival and off-screen best friend.
He was able to get away as the girls began to hit on Randy, and were soon asked to leave by hotel security after getting autographs, pictures, and even a piece of the Legend Killer's clothes. Randy walked back up stairs to meet with his best friend, shirtless.
"What happened to you?" John asked noticing the lack of shirt on Randy.
"Female fans are insane man..." He laughed as John tossed him a shirt.
He pulled the Chain Gang shirt on over his head and looked at his best friend, who looked quite down. Randy lifted an eyebrow and knew that John would have much rather gotten on the plane with his wife than be here.
Mackenzie's plane landed and Carol and John Sr. were there to happily pick her up. They greeted her with hugs and kisses, and belly rubs. She smiled as they drove back to her and John's house. It would be the first time stepping foot in to their house after being married, and John wouldn't even be there with her.
This saddened Mackenzie's thoughts until Carol reminded her about the surprise John had for her. As soon as they pulled up in front of the house she had her cell phone in hand. She had dialed his number and was waiting for him to answer.
"Hey gorgeous," His voice was low and gruff, and it was quite sexy, she noted.
"Hey babe, so I'm standing outside of the front door with mom and dad, what now?" She asked with a grin.
"You can go ahead and walk in," John grinned, he could hear the click of the door knob turning and she stepped foot in to the dark house, Carol and John Sr. behind her. "Turn on the lights," he instructed, she could hear Randy in the background laughing.
"Tell Randy to shut up," She mused with a sly grin as Carol turned on the lights.
John laughed as he told Randy what his wife said. She was shocked to see the living room was flooded with baby blue balloons all over the floor and to the ceiling. It was a sea of baby blue. She smiled and looked back at Carol and John Sr. who grinned mercilessly.
"You are amazing," She whispered.
"Oh that's not it..." He grinned on the other line. "Go upstairs..."
Mackenzie looked back at her in-laws who were smiling ear to ear. She fought her way through the massive amount of balloons to the stairs. She slowly made them up the stairs and cursed at John for having stairs in his house.
"It's your house too babe..." He grinned hearing her curse him out.
"I know, but you had it before we were together so it's your fault." She muttered. "Ok, done with the stairs..." She took a deep breath and was short of air.
"Catch your breath now, I don't need you fainting and in the hospital again..." John warned.
Mackenzie rolled her eyes and took a few seconds to compose herself, "Ok... now what?" She asked him not liking his little surprise now. It was taking too long, and being pregnant she was not a very patient woman.
"Go to the room across from ours..." He hummed on the other line carefully waiting for her to get there.
"The office?" She questioned confused.
"Yes dear," He rolled his eyes and she could hear him say something to Randy quietly.
She sighed and followed his directions, she stood outside of the door and gripped the handle, "Nothings going to jump out at me, is it?" She asked him.
"No, I wouldn't do that to you..." He grinned.
She pushed the door open, her eyes drifted from where the hardwood floor used to be up to the walls that used to be a dull opaque color. The room that was used as John's partial studio, and office was now fit for two infant boys.
"Oh my god," She whispered walking in to the room. The plush carpet was soft under her feet, two white cribs were on opposite sides of the room, a large changing table, and dresser set were on the back wall.
The walls were painted a baby blue hue, with the bedding that she had picked out to match the dark brown carpet and blue walls. She felt tears welling in her eyes as John Sr. and Carol came in putting their arms around her.
"Babe, you still there?" John asked.
"How did you do this?" She asked him carefully.
"Well I had some help, but we had a designer come in and fix it all up." Her husband informed her. "I was so worried we wouldn't be ready when they came, so I wanted to do this special for you, so you didn't have to worry about it..."
"John, it's perfect..." She started to sob, as Carol hugged her closer. She couldn't stop crying. She had this beautiful room, and this beautiful surprise, but she couldn't share it with her husband.
"Baby, what's wrong?" John asked knowing that his wife was upset.
"I just," She couldn't even get the words out, "...wish you were here..." She cried.
Carol rubbed her back lovingly and jumped back feeling a hand on her shoulder, a small smile crept on her face as the strong arms of her son encircled the young shaking woman. Mackenzie let out a yelp, and turned in the strong arms to come face-to-face with her husband.
"Oh my god," She shouted hugging him closely. "What are you doing here?" She asked looking over his shoulder to see Randy standing there with a small grin on his face.
"It's good to see you too baby..." he laughed sarcastically at her. She pushed him and pouted.
"How did you get here?" She questioned him.
"I got on a plane," He shrugged.
"What about your signing?" She asked.
"I called Vince, asked him if someone could cover because his daughter needed me..." He grinned. "So he let me off the hook and here we are..." He pointed to Randy. "I picked this guy up on the side of the road..."
She wiped her face with the back of her hand, "Incredible, you are simply incredible..." She shook her head not fathoming any other words to describe him.
"I know, I know... now I think there is some food downstairs that needs to be cooked, and eaten..." He rubbed his hands together.
John grinned to his mother who smiled back and as they went downstairs Mackenzie looked out in to the balloon filled living room and saw a crowd of people. They all yelled 'Surprise' to her and she blushed slapping John on the chest seeing all of her favorite girls from the WWE, and the wives of most of the WWE superstars that she knew.
"How did you do this?" She asked going down the stairs as quickly as she could without falling or tripping on a balloon. She hugged Sam, Kaci, Stephanie, Angie, Trish, Amy, Torrie and the entire room of people with in a matter of minutes.
"I've got my ways," John grinned as he rubbed his stomach. "Pops, how abouts you, me and the Legend Killer go grill up some burgers and Franks?" He questioned looking at his father.
"Let's get to it..." John Sr. smiled before kissing Mackenzie's temple and heading in to the kitchen with the other two men.
Mackenzie's Aunt hugged her tightly as they all started talking a mile a minute about how they planned all of this without knowing. She smiled hugging her friends again and so glad that she had them. She took a seat in her 'designated' chair that had balloons and streamers wrapped all around it.
"We wanted your baby shower to be perfect," Carol stated taking a seat.
"It is..." She smiled tears in her eyes. "I love it..."
The next few hours were filled with lots of talk, gift opening, and games for the women as the men sat back and watched with proud smiles. Randy and Sam gave John and Mackenzie their present and Randy smiled happily and winked at his future wife.
"This is from us..." He stated as if they didn't know.
John laughed and looked at the gigantic bag that sat in front of his wife. She started pulling out every essential thing that you could possible need, in twos for the twins. They smiled and thanked the couple as Randy handed them two last things.
"We wanted to do something special and a little different..." Sam smiled happily holding on to her future husband.
The couple unwrapped the two long slender items, and opened the top. Mackenzie's eyes filled with tears as she looked over at John who smiled at his best friend.
"What is it?" Carol asked snapping another picture.
"They got two stars named after the boys..." Mackenzie held up the certificate.
"That is so thoughtful!" Lacey retorted taking the certificate from her niece.
"Thank you guys so much," She hugged the couple and John gave Sam a hug and a kiss and hugged his best friend.
"You're getting all soft on me, Cena..." Randy laughed punching his friend in the arm.
"Now it's my turn," Kaci handed over her present.
She handed over a fairly large bag that had books and diapers in it and at the bottom Mackenzie nearly screamed. It were the matching diaper bags to go with the boys' room theme. And each bag had the boys name sewed in to it with the baby blue color thread.
"Oh my god, Kace, they're perfect..." She stated hugging her best friend.
"I know," She stated with a grin.
Stephanie pulled her self off of the floor and walked in to the other room and motioned for Randy to help her. He rushed over and grabbed two of the presents and Stephanie pushed the other. She smiled as Mackenzie turned around and jumped out of her seat.
"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" She asked her best friend looking at the matching car seat sets and the twin stroller.
The parents came in and offered their gifts, and they included the Johnny Jumpers, high-chairs, and other essentials, especially with having twins. They all went in to the kitchen for the cake and on the cake was a funny looking pea-pod and on it was the saying "Two Peas in a Pod".
After cutting and eating the cake everyone hung around and helped put things together, and put things away and Mackenzie was just glad to have all of her friends and their family there. Most of all, she was glad that John had decided to come.
"I thought you had a signing in Dallas?" Stephanie asked scooping up some icing with her finger. John was getting a beer out of the fridge for himself and Randy.
"I told you're dad that I wanted to be with my wife; and so he swung a few things and let me go..." He grinned at Steph.
"God, that man is getting mushy..." Stephanie laughed rubbing her belly.
"So we're having two little boys and a little princess, huh?" John asked putting a hand to her stomach.
"Looks that way," She smiled.
"Marissa know what she's having yet?" John asked referring to Stephanie's sister-in-law who was in the other room with the other women.
"Not yet, I think they find out in a month or two... still too early..." John smiled and Stephanie looked over at him, "You know Cena," John glanced up at her.
"What's that Steph?" He questioned.
"I never thought that this thing between you and Mack was going to last..." She looked down at her hands and smiled back up at him. "But I'm really glad that it did... she deserves somebody like you... that will treat her like a queen."
"That's what I plan on doing..." John grinned as he kissed Stephanie's cheek. "And I appreciate that..." He hugged her. "And you better be careful cause I might have to smack 'dat ass again..." He grinned wickedly remembering his old rapping gimmick when they were both on Smackdown.
Stephanie blushed and pushed John away from her, "I'm going to beat your ass in a second, mister..." She grinned.
John laughed as they joined the group out in the living room, a couple of the women were leaving and saying goodbye. The Divas had to be on the next flight out and Mackenzie was sad to see them go. Kaci, Trish, Amy and Torrie had her wrapped in a death grip of a hug before the four of them paraded out to the car they came in.
At the end of the day it was down to Carol, John Sr., Lacey, Stephanie, Randy, Sam, Angie, and Mackenzie. John offered the spare rooms, but Stephanie declined letting them know she had to be on the next plane to Connecticut.
"Thank you so much Steph, I can't wait until our princess gets here..." Mackenzie stated rubbing her belly.
"It's my pleasure, I just wish I could stay longer,"
"I know Paul's probably waiting for you to come home... I'll see you soon though right?" She asked.
"Of course, I'll come by next week and check on you, ok?" She questioned.
"Perfect," She smiled happily. "Love you," She kissed her best friend on the cheek.
"Love you too, I'll call you when I get to Greenwich..." She waved to everyone.
After another hour of cleaning up and getting rid of a good portion of the balloons Lacey, Carol and John Sr. left leaving just the two young couples. John, Mackenzie, Randy and Sam took up playing a few board games before Mackenzie retired to her room, completely exhausted.
"I think it was a great idea for you two to show up," Sam stated as she walked with John and Randy upstairs.
"I know, I just knew what she was thinking, she was going to be in our house for the first time since we've been married, and I'm not here..."
"It wouldn't have felt right to her," Randy agreed.
"I'm just glad that Vince was so willing to let us off..." John sighed climbing the last step.
"We got lucky," Randy agreed. "Now, I'm going to haul this beautiful, magnificently gorgeous woman to bed, and you go snuggled up with your baby momma..." Randy grinned wrapping his arms around the future Mrs. Randy Orton.
John said goodnight and joined his wife in their large King sized bed. It felt good to be home, it felt even better to be there with her in his arms, knowing that their sons were going to make their arrival within the next month and a half.
And to finish it off, Chapter 30...
