A/N: Sorry it's taken so long! I've had some MAJOR writers block, so this chapter will probably be one of my worst! This is going to turn everything upside down, but don't worry, there's always a calm after the storm! Review! Oh yea, I don't own anyone famous!

Meet your Family!

John's POV:

So far everything was going great with Shawn. We've had him for a week, and he seems to be a great kid, not too talkative, but nice. We were all going home today, and it would be the first time that Shawn would meet everyone! I've got a feeling that this could be a rough few days, because God only knows how Sydney and him will get along. From what I can tell, they are complete opposites. Syd is very loud and outgoing, while Shawn seems to be quiet and tends to keep-to-himself. My parents had told Sydney already, and Ash has talked to her, but I'm still a little worried. Speaking of Ash, she's been weird the past few days. I guess it's just pregnant mood swings, but she's just been so distant! I know that she's happy to be going home. She hates being on the road because she's away from the kids.

"Daddy?" Shawn quietly asked me.

"Yea, what's up Shawn?" I asked, looking down at the boy.

"Are we going home?"

"Yup, we're leaving in like an hour, why?" I answered.

"I was jus wondering." Shawn replied as he turned and walked away. I sat down right as Ash walked in.

"Where've you been?" I asked her.

"Just walking around. Why?" she answered back.

"I was just wondering. Excited to be going home?"

"Yes, you have no idea." Ashley replied, flipping on the TV.

She sat down across from me, and surfed through the channels, not saying a word.

"Are you pissed off at me or something?" I asked, staring right at her.

"No."

"Well, what's wrong then?" I questioned.

"Nothing." Ashley retorted. Great, one word answers, she must be mad.

"Ash…" I began to say as she cut me off.

"What John?" she snapped.

"Whoa, never mind. You are in a really bad mood aren't you?"

"No, I just don't feel like talking right now. Can you please leave me alone for a little while?" Ashley coldly said.

"Whatever you want. We're leaving in an hour." I said as I went to find Shawn. Something was definitely wrong with Ash, and I'm sure I'd find out sooner or later.

Back home, Ashley's POV:

I was so glad to be home! I was seriously missing my kids and house, even the dumb dogs! I walked into the house, and everything was perfect, just as I left it!

"Mommy!" Sydney yelled as she came bolting towards me.

"Hey baby! Did you have fun with grandma and grandpa?" I asked her sitting down on the couch.

"Yea, but I missed you! Where's my brother?" Sydney asked, not wasting anytime.

"He's right here, Shawn, say hi to Sydney." John said as he nudged Shawn towards her.

"Hi Sydney." Shawn quietly said.

"Hi Shawn, I'm you new big sister! Come on, let's go play in the basement!" Sydney said excitedly.

"Okey dokey!" Shawn replied following Sydney down towards the basement.

"Well, they seem to be doing ok!" John said as he sat down next to me.

"I think I'm going to go get Josh and Winsor from your mom. I'll be upstairs." I replied as I got up. John quickly jumped up, and moved in front of me.

"Ash, what's wrong? You have barely spoken to me all week, and now it feels like you're avoiding me. What did I do?" John asked me.

"No, nothings wrong. God, I just don't feel like talking right now, is that such a crime?!" I shouted at him. John just took a step back, and stared at me.

"What? I can't get in a mood once in a while?" I snapped.

"I never said that. I was just wondering if I had done something to make you mad. You didn't have to blow up at me. You won't even kiss me anymore!" John replied.

"My God, I haven't kissed you in like two days! It's not that big of a deal John. I mean, can you not live without any physical contact?" I hollered.

"That's not my point! I'm not some sex-crazed guy Ash! You usually kiss me with no problems. You've been really cold and distant this past week, what is your problem?" John shouted back.

"I don't know!" I yelled, starting to cry. John went to wrap his arms around me, but I pushed him away. "Just leave me alone John." I said as I walked upstairs. John's mom passed me on the way, but I didn't say anything.

"Josh and Winsor are taking a nap." She told me.

"Ok, thanks." I replied. I finished climbing the stairs, and then walked into our bedroom and crashed on the bed. Why have I been such a bitch this week?

John's POV:

What the fuck did I do? This shit has just blindsided me, and I don't even know what it is!

"What was all that yelling about John?" my mom asked me as she grabbed her coat.

"I don't know. Ashley is being weird. No, she's just being a bitch right now." I coolly said.

"Now don't go calling you wife a bitch John Cena. She probably has her reasons. Let's see, she's about two months pregnant, you've just found out that you have a child by another woman, and being on the road can be stressful. Maybe she was just homesick, or maybe she is regretting something, like settling down too young. I mean Ashley is 23 years old, and already has three kids of her own, is pregnant with a 4th, and now is taking care of your new found kid. Just give her some space, and eventually she'll go back to normal." My mom wisely told me.

"It's not my fault that she settled down so quickly, she didn't have to marry me." I replied, getting angry.

"Hmm, she did have Syd when she was 16 John. She's never had a chance to party and go crazy."

"Yea she has, we used to go out with our friends when she wasn't pregnant."

"Not my point son. Just go take care of your kids, and let Ashley be. I'm leaving now, I'll see you later!" my mom sad as she walked out the door. Maybe my mom was right, who knows?!

Ashley's POV:

I had been lying in bed the whole night. John had managed to take care of the kids, and get everyone to bed. He came into our room, and got changed and then quietly got into bed.

"I'm not asleep." I informed him.

"I didn't know. Do you want to tell me what's bugging you now?" John asked me.

"No, because I don't know what's bugging me. I'm just feeling disconnected from everything." I said.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what to do for you."

"Yea, I know. I just need a change. I'm sick of being just 'John Cena's wife' or the lady with the kids, or the chick who's always pregnant. I mean, I'm 23 years old John! Most girls my age are still going out on the weekends, getting jobs, just getting a steady boyfriend. I didn't even finish high school. I had a baby when I was 16, I never went on Spring Break, I never went to any frat parties, and I haven't had any meaningless relationships! I know this all sounds stupid, but I haven't even been in love with anyone else, or at least thought I was in love with them." I confessed to John.

"Wow, that's a lot on your mind Ash. Is all that stuff really important to you though?"

"Yea, I guess it is. Man, I sound like a selfish bitch right now."

"Kind of. What are you going to do, are you going to go back to school?" John asked me.

"Who knows? I just have to do something, cause I hate being so distant towards everyone." I told John. He didn't answer, all that came out was him snoring. That's it, I try to tell him that I'm having identity issues, and he falls asleep on me!

I sat up in bed, and then got out. I grabbed some clothes, and got dressed. I threw a few more clothes into a bag, and then grabbed a pen and wrote John a quick note.

'John, don't take this the wrong way. I've tried telling you my problem, but ya fell asleep. I've figured out that I just need to get away from the house, the kids, and you most of all. I find myself feeling that I'm not in love with you anymore, and that the only reason that we're still together is because of the kid. I haven't just started feeling this way, it's been running through my mind for a few months now, and I've pushed it aside. Well, I can't push it aside anymore because it's tearing me apart, and is starting to hurt you. A marriage isn't built just on sex and kids alone. I just need to get out in the real world to prove myself wrong, and prove that I really do love you for more reasons than those that I just wrote. I know full well that I'm being selfish, but I've just got to do this! Just tell the kids that I had to go out of town for a while. I'll be in touch.

Ashley.'

Yea, that's a good letter! I can't believe that I'm actually dong this! I set the note on John's nightstand, and then went into the kids' rooms and gave them all kisses on the cheeks. With my bag in my hand, and my car keys in the other I took one last look at our house, and then snuck out the front door, got into my car, and then pulled out of the drive way. I drove for a few miles, and found myself crying, but once I was on the expressway, I felt like a thousand pound weight had just been lifted off of my shoulders! I think a cross-country road trip sounds good, Cali here I come!!!

A/N: Haha, I bet I just got you all mad at me! Don't stop reading, it's only going to get better! Now please review, and peace out! As for me, I've got some Advanced Algebra homework to go do! Peace y'all!
