In a few weeks Grace was starting a three month tour and John was going back to WWE. Grace and John had found a house. They'd been staying in a hotel with the kids while everything was delivered to their new place. This was the last day they were spending at the hotel. It was around eight o'clock in the morning. Grace and John's bedroom door creaked open. Mackenzie came in.
"Mommy?" "Ohn?" She said quietly. She climbed up on the bed. As she was climbed to the head of the bed the motion of the mattress woke John up. He looked at her. "Sorry Ohn." "Go back sleep." "I wait."
"What are you doing?"
"Waiting for breakfast."
"Is Elysa up?"
"No."
"We're gonna let mommy sleep and go have breakfast." He got up.
"Piggy back."
"What's the magic word?"
"Plwease."
"Ok." He bent down. "Hop on."
An hour later Grace woke up. She could her talking and went out into the living room. She went out. Both girls were wake.
"Morning girls." She said.
"Morning mommy." They both said.
"Morning baby." John said.
"Morning." She went over to him they kissed. "Thank you for getting up with them John."
"You're welcome." "I know you've been tired making the preparations for the move and planning you're tour." "The movers called." "The last of the boxes are arriving today, so we can stay there tomorrow."
"Good." "I called Julie." "She's gonna come and help us unpack."
"Good." "What about the surprise for the girls?" He whispered.
"It's being set up this afternoon." She whispered back.
"They'll love it."
"I know."
The next morning everyone was at the new house unpacking.
"Girls we have a surprise you." "It's in the backyard." Grace said.
"What is it?" Elysa asked.
"You have to come and see." John said. They went into the kitchen and over to the patio doors which led to the backyard. "Look out there." They looked.
"It's a swing set!" Elysa said excitedly.
"Swings!" "Swings!" Mackenzie said. They all went outside and over to the swing set.
"Thank you mommy."
"You're welcome but it's a present from John to." Grace said.
Both the girls went over and hugged John. "Thank you Ohn." Mackenzie said.
"You're welcome."
That afternoon John was putting things away downstairs while Grace and Julie were unpacking upstairs.
"This is such a nice house." Julie said. "I think it's nicer then the last one."
"It might be."
"So, you and John live together now." "Are you going to get married?"
"We've never talked about it."
"You've been together over a year and you've never talked about it?"
"We've just been so happy, I guess we don't see the need." "I don't need a ring for him to prove his commitment." "He's already done more then enough to prove that."
Later that night most of the boxes were unpacked. John and Mackenzie were playing on the floor. He started tickling her. She started laughing.
"Mommy help me." She laughed. "That tickles daddy."
As soon as John heard that he stopped dead in his tracks. He looked surprised. "Um, Mackenzie, did you just call me daddy?" He said not thinking he'd ever hear that from any child.
