"Monday? As in tonight? You're sure?" Vince said over the phone.
"Yeah, might as well end it now on a good note," John sighed rubbing the back of his head.
"Wow...never thought I'd see you go..." Vince sighed with a half laugh.
"I thought I'd at least make it to April but... I guess this gives me a chance to finally be with my family all the time, and move out of Randy's house."
"How is the little bugger anyway?"
"Randy?"
"No, Teddy,"
"Ah, he's great! Doing well in kindergarden 'n such. Growing more and more everyday. Oddly enough, for not being my actual kid, he's shaping up to look a lot like myself,"
"Good to hear! Listen Cena, I'll go over this more with you when you fly in. I got more work to do,"
"Okay, see ya later Vinny Mac!" John laughed and hung up the phone.
He sighed and stared at his leg that was propped up on the foot rest.
"Daddy! We're leaving for school!" waved Ted.
"Well c'mere and give me a hug!" John laughed.
Ted ran over and hugged John. John kissed the boy on his head.
"Have fun at school!"
"We will!"
Cody and Ted left with Randy.
"So, uh, since you're home, maybe we could work out some plans for the wedding?" Mickie said shyly taking a seat next to John on the couch.
"I guess, what are we discussing today?"
"Cake,"
"Yes! I LOVE cake!"
Mickie giggled,"Well did you have any ideas?"
"We could have a little wrestling ring in the top of the cake, with our action figures instead of regular bride and groom figures!"
Mickie raised an eyebrow,"Really? Not a normal cake?"
"Are we a normal couple?" He looked at her sarcastically.
"I suppose not," she wrote down the ideas he had.
"Then again...that is kinda what Randy and Kelly did...I don't want to copy their idea..." he rubbed his chin.
"Oh yeah...it is, isn't it. Maybe we should just have a normal cake,"
"All this cake talk gets me hungry." John tried to get up but his leg wasn't offering much movement today.
"Babe, relax I'll get you something. What d'you want to eat?"
"Uh, I guess a sammich,"
"Okay," she winked, "I'll be right back." she left to the kitchen.
John hated not being able to move much. It reminded him too much of his terrible accident 5 years ago. If only his leg healed right the first time...then he wouldn't be in this situation. Actually, no. If only he'd never gotten into that car crash, then everything would be normal and John wouldn't have missed those 6 months.
"I made you PB&J, hope you don't mind!" Mickie said walking back into the room.
He smiled at her and took the sandwich.
Mickie could tell that he wasn't himself."Babe, is everything okay?"
He looked down at his leg,"Yeah, everything's good,"
Randy finally returned from dropping the boys off.
"You ready to go?" he asked.
"Yeah... Gonna be tough ending it tonight..." John sighed. So many memories. 15 years in the company.
"We all gotta end sometime," Randy headed up the stairs to grab his luggage.
About an hour later they left to the airport for a quick flight. When they arrived at the arena, John went straight to Vince's office.
"Wow it really does look bad." the boss said when John came in, crutches and all.
"Thanks to pain pills, it doesn't hurt all that much. I just hope it heals right this time." John joked.
Vince looked serious."John, let me tell you..." he stood up, "you helped my business greatly. The past 15 years have been great for money, gaining new and lifetime fans, tons of fame. Sure, people might've criticized you more than any other superstar but at least they were talking about you!"
"You're gonna make me cry..." John mumbled.
"Over a thousand wishes granted by you for the Make-A-Wish foundation. A thousand! A thousand lives you changed. Boy am I glad I picked you from OVW..."
"I'm glad you picked me too, I'll do you proud out there tonight, sir."
"Please, John, call me Vince." he smiled.
John smirked and saluted, hobbling his way out of the office.
Time for the big retirement speech.
