*It's been a while but I finally got over my Circumstance writer's block. I hope that you enjoy
Nikki and her sister Brie arrive at John's house to pick Ava up for the day so she can spend the day with Nikki. Nikki rings the doorbell as she stands on the porch. "This house is real nice right?" she asks Brie.
"Very," says Brie as Nicki opens the door.
"Hi," says Nicki with a smile. "Ava, your mommy is here," she yells. "How are you?"
"Fine," says Nikki. "Where is John?"
"John is at the gym he won't be back till later. He will be here when you bring her back," says Nicki as Ava runs to the door.
"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!" She says excitedly as she runs past Nicki into Nikki's arms.
"Hey, Baby Girl," says Nikki with a smile as she picks her up. "Are you ready to go my house and play with Auntie B and me? I have a surprise for you."
"Yes," she says with a smile. Nikki takes in how much more Ava looks like John since the last time she saw her. "And we're going to plan your birthday party."
"Actually," says Nicki, "I think John wanted to talk to you about that."
"Well, he can talk to me not you," she says. "Bye." She is being her normal rude self to Nicki like she has always been. It didn't even faze Nicki anymore. She waves to Ava as Nikki carries her to the car. Ava waves back with a big smile.
Nikki puts Ava in the car and buckles her in her car seat before she shuts the door. "She's a little too comfortable isn't she?" asks Nikki.
"I am not getting involved," says Brie. "You know you should have expected this. I mean he wasn't going to stay single forever."
"I know," says Nikki as she backs out of the driveway, "but Ava is my daughter and she is playing her mom and I don't like it. And they are having a baby. She used her sick son as a way to get to John. She's not stupid."
"I don't think that's true," says Brie. "I don't think anyone would use a sick child to get with a wrestler. Didn't her son die?"
"Yeah," says Nikki, "but still she used him to get John's pity and it worked."
"That's a pretty harsh thing to say," says Brie. "And I don't think it's a good idea to talk like this in front of Ava either. This is your time with Ava don't ruin it by bad mouthing Nicki. I know you don't like her but Ava may and you wouldn't want Ava to run and tell her dad what you're saying would you?"
"I think it would be funny if she did," says Nikki with a smile as she looks in the mirror to see Ava sitting in the car seat looking out the window. Brie just shakes her head at her sister. Nikki isn't always the nicest person and has trouble realizing there are boundaries.
Nikki pulls into the driveway of her home and parks the car. She gets out of the car with Brie before she gets Ava out of the backseat of the car. She takes her hand as they walk to the back door. Nikki opens the door and as soon as the door is opened a tiny black and brown puppy runs up to Ava and starts kissing her. "A puppy!" she laughs as it kisses her. "It's so cute."
"That's your surprise," says Nikki with a smile feeling accomplished with herself for getting Ava a puppy.
"Thank-you, Mommy," she says as she pets the puppy. "What's his name?"
"You can name her anything you want," says Nikki.
"Superwoman!" says Ava. "I want to name her Superwoman."
"Superwoman it is," says Nikki. "I did good right?" she asks Brie.
"Yeah, you did awesome Nicole," says Brie as she rolls her eyes. She knows her sister is up to something and she knows Nikki wouldn't just buy a puppy for Ava unless she had other intentions.
"You can go play," says Nikki as she walks into the house. Ava runs off with Superwoman to go play in her bedroom. "I love her. She's so cute. She really looks like her father doesn't she?"
"She's his mini," says Brie. "Why did you get her a puppy, Nicole?"
"Because she has always wanted a puppy so I got her a puppy. I think she should have a pet here because I know John will never allow her to have one."
"You want to be the better house don't you?"
"Maybe," says Nikki, "I want my daughter back."
"So bribing her is the way you're going to go?"
"I'm not bribing her just spoiling her."
"I don't' agree with it. I just think you and John need to get over your issues and be parents together. You fighting with John and bad mouthing his girlfriend in front of Ava doesn't help the situation. She's probably already confused on why she was taken from here and put with her dad. Don't make it harder for her, Nicole."
"Okay, Brianna," she says. "I won't."
Nikki and Brie spend the afternoon playing with Ava. They played dress up and let her ride her bike up and down the sidewalk. They took her to the park to play and took her swimming. Nikki was enjoying the time with her daughter. She was missing her like crazy. She loves her so much and just wanted more time with her. Hearing Ava laugh and listening to her talk made Nikki miss her more. When they were finished swimming Nikki got Ava dressed back into her clothes and went to make her some dinner before she had to take her back to John's.
As they ate dinner Nikki says, "Ava, I like your beautiful hair do. Who did that?" She asks talking of her French braided pigtails.
"My new Mommy," says Ava.
"Your new what?" asks Nikki.
"My new mommy," says Ava as she eats her chicken.
"Did you hear her, Brie?"
"I heard her," she says. "Ava, who is your new mommy?"
"Nicki," she says, "Daddy's girlfriend. She's going to marry him some day."
"Ava, that woman is not your mommy," says Nikki, "I am your mommy. Do not call her mommy."
"She is my mommy too," says Ava.
"No she isn't she is nothing to you," says Nikki. She was very upset. She could feel herself ready to snap out. She didn't find it respectful that John would allow their daughter to call another woman mommy because she would never allow Ava to call another man daddy. As a parent there were things you could do and things you couldn't do; allowing your 3 year old almost 4 year old daughter call someone else mommy was one of the things you couldn't do. "You will call her Nicki."
"But I like calling her Mommy," she says, "She's really nice and I love her."
"You can love her and she can be nice but she is not your mommy."
"I know but I want to call her mommy."
"That's not appropriate," says Nikki, "and your dad shouldn't allow this to be going on."
"I'm sorry, Mommy," says Ava sadly and with guilt.
"No, Baby, it's not your fault. You don't know. It's okay. You don't have anything to be sorry about," says Nikki.
"I made you mad because I call Nicki mommy. I'm sorry," she says. "I want to go home to daddy."
"But you didn't finish your dinner," says Nikki, "and we didn't have ice-cream."
"I want daddy!" she protests. "I want my daddy!" Ava went into a full on fit screaming for John. Nikki couldn't handle it anymore and it broke her heart knowing that she made her own child feel bad.
"All right, All right," says Nikki, "I'll take you home."
Nikki arrives at John's house and she is still very upset she wants to keep her emotions in check but it is too hard for her to do. She rings the doorbell incessantly until Nicki answers the door. As soon as Nicki opens the door Ava runs into the house to her daddy. "You are here early," says Nicki as she rubs her stomach.
"You have a lot of nerve," says Nikki angrily. "Allowing MY daughter to call you mommy? You are not her mommy and you never will be her mother. She has a mother and you are not her."
"I didn't tell her to call me Mommy," says Nicki, "She wanted to. I said it wasn't a good idea," she says as John comes to the door.
"Yeah? She wanted to? She wants to eat cupcakes for breakfast but I don't let her," she says.
"What is going on?" asks John.
"Your girlfriend letting OUR daughter call her Mommy."
"Oh," says John. "Ava asked if she could call her Mommy. I told her she could."
"Why? You know she is not her mother."
"What's the big deal?" asks John. "She knows you're her mom too. I don't see why she can't call Nicki Mommy also it's better than her calling her Nicki."
"What's the big deal?" asks Nikki, "Are you serious, John? The big deal is Ava is my daughter and I am her only mom and I will always be her only mother. Nicki is not. You two aren't going to last so I don't want her to think Nicki is here to stay. And I find it incredibly disrespectful that you're allowing her to call another woman mommy. I don't' like it at all."
"Nikki," says Nicki, "I told them it wasn't a good idea. I told them I didn't want to step on any toes but I think you coming here yelling at me is absolutely disrespectful."
"Would you like it if your child called another woman mommy?"
"I don't know," says Nicki, "I never really thought about it."
"Well, it's disrespectful and it stops now."
"If Ava wants to call Nicki mommy she can," says John. "Stop being jealous."
"Isn't it bad enough that you took my daughter from me?" asks Nikki, "now you're trying to replace me too? Thanks a lot, John."
"No one is replacing you. I'm just glad that Ava is accepting enough of Nicki to think of her as a mommy."
"She's confused," says Nikki, "because you took her from me."
"Actually the court gave her to me."
"Only because you're John Cena," she says, "They never should have taken her from me."
"It is what it is, Nikki," says John. "You shouldn't have kept her from me. At least I am allowing you to see her. I don't have to you know that right?"
"Actually you do it's in the court order," she says.
"Well, you kept her from me for 3 years that's your own fault," says John. "I didn't take her from you. They gave her to me because I'm the better parent."
"No, John, your money is the better parent. Nicki don't think that John is going to be a father to your child. He's worried about one thing and that's his job. He was married to his job and his ring rats when he was with me. Don't think for one second he has changed for you."
"Actually," says Nicki, "John is a really good father and is awesome with Ava. You would know that if you would have given him the chance to be a father instead of being selfish."
"You don't know anything. You only know what John wants you to know but that's okay," she says, "you can be the dumb one but when it happens to you don't act like I didn't tell you so. And John, this isn't over," she says before she storms away.
John slams the door and walks away to be followed by Nicki. "She has a lot of nerve. Is it really a big deal if Ava calls you Mommy?"
"Yeah," says Nicki, "because I'm not her mom. Nikki is. I told you she would be upset."
"She can get over it. I'm sorry about that."
"It's okay," says Nicki.
"And everything she said about me is a lie. I am a good father. She just never gave me the chance to be. She kept Ava away from me. I will admit that I was obsessed with my job but being married to her I had to be because she's a bitch."
"I don't believe a word she says," says Nicki. "I know you're a good father and whatever happened with you and Nikki isn't my business. All I am worried about is what is happening with you and me and what will happen with you and me. I am worried about our child and what we have. Anything that happened in the past is not my concern. I believe people make mistakes but they can learn from their mistakes and change who they are. I believe that you have changed so don't worry about me believing anything Nikki says."
"Nicki, I love you," says John.
"I love you too," she says as she hugs John. She pulls away as she feels the baby kick. "The baby is kicking!"
"Is it?" he asks with a smile.
"Yeah," she says with a smile as Ava comes into the door way with them.
"I'm sorry, Daddy," she says sadly. "I made mommy made."
"No you didn't," says John as he picks her up. "Your mommy is just an angry person. It's okay. I love you. You didn't do anything wrong."
"I love you too," she says with a smile as she wraps her tiny arms around his neck and kisses the top of his head. "I love my new mommy too," she says with a smile as she looks at Nicki. "I don't want to go to see Mommy anymore. I like it here more."
