Six months later life was going on as usual. Nicole and John had seen each other last month. Nicole's thirty-fourth birthday was in a month. Nicole was working and had fallen asleep on the couch. She was awakened by her cell phone ringing.

"Hello?" She said tiredly.

"Hi baby, were you sleeping?"

"Yeah."

"Sorry."

"No,I'm glad you called." She sat up. "I shouldn't be sleeping anyway." "I have to work."

"Well you're obviously tired."

"I don't have time to be tired."

"Just don't start pushing yourself to hard."

"I won't." "How was shooting today?"

"Good."

"I know it's a crazy concept but what do you think about going away for the weekend for your birthday next month?"

"I'd love to but we both know you would never have time to do that."

"Actually I do." "Do you?"

"Yeah."

"Good."

"You know, we don't have to go anywhere for my birthday." "We can just hang out here."

"We haven't really celebrated any of your birthday's." "I want your birthday to be special."

"Ok why?"

"Because I love you."

"Or because you want to throw me a surprise party." "You know I hate surprises."

"I promise, no surprise party." "Just you and me."

"I'll start looking up places."

"Great."

"I have to go John."

"Ok." "Call or text me if you find somewhere you want to go."

"Ok."

Two days later Nicole was at work. Her office phone rang.

"Nicole Spartan." She said.

"Hello this is John Cena, your boyfriend." He said jokingly.

"Hi honey." "What would you think about going to Jamaica?"

"Is that where you want to go?"

"Yes, if you want to."

"I'll call my travel agent." "I just called to say I love you." "I have to go."

"I love you too." "Bye."

"Bye."

Unbeknownst to Nicole John was in New York City. He was being shown a penthouse. It was very big and spacious with hardwood floors, a huge kitchen, two bathrooms, housekeepers, two offices and valet parking.

"May I see the offices?" John asked.

"Of course." The woman showing him the penthouse said. He looked at the offices. They were just as spacious as the rest of the penthouse. They went back into the living room.

"I'll take it."

"Great." She went over to him with a tablet. "Sign here."

Later that day Faith got a text from John. It read.

Here's the engagement ring. - John

He sent her a picture. It was sliver with a four carat square-cut diamond.

She'll love that - Faith

A week later Nicole was in Boston at the doctor for her follow-up appointment. The doctor had just told her some devastating news.

"Are you sure it's back?"

"Yes, I'm so sorry."

"No." She started crying. "No, please no."
