Chapter 21

A few days after that fateful night with Brendan, Ady had discovered she was, in fact, pregnant. Although she and John had already discussed what they were going to do with their child, she still was uneasy about her pregnancy.

Seven months later, after John had won his championship back from Kurt Angle, John was back home with Ady, taking care of her and helping her with everything and anything she needed.

It was two days before Christmas Eve, and they had started decorating their Christmas tree. John would hang everything on the top half of the tree, and Ady hung everything else.

As they put up decorations, John handed a box to Ady containing a special ornament. "Here's another one."

Ady began to open the box and pull it out, seeing an ornament she hadn't remembered buying. "John, we didn't buy this."

He smiled, looking at the confusion on her face. "Just read what it says, sweetie."

She began to read it, turning it around. "I love you more than words could ever say. You make my world a happier place, and my life worth living." At this point, her eyes began to tear up. Her voice wavered as she continued reading. "There's no way I could live the rest of my life without you to love. Adelaide Elizabeth Presley, will you be my wife?" As she pulled it out all the way, she noticed a white gold engagement ring hanging off the bottom. She gasped and felt tears running down her cheeks.

John walked up to her and smiled, knowing this had to be the happiest moment of her life. "So, what do you think?"

She watched him gently take the ring off the ornament and cried even harder. "Oh, John!" She hugged him tightly, not ever wanting to let go.

John laughed as he hugged her back, caressing her back. "So, does this mean 'yes'?"

She looked up at him and grinned, pulling him in for a long, passionate kiss. When they pulled apart, she wiped the tears from her face. "John, of course I'll marry you."

He took her hand and slipped the ring on her finger. When he got it on, she stared at it in disbelief. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen in her life. She looked back up at John and hugged him again.

He pulled away from her and began to run her stomach, gently. "We can finally have that family that I know you've been dreaming of."

Ady placed her hand on his, beaming. "John, I love you so much."

He returned her smile with one of his own. "I love you too, Ady."

Shortly after that, they finished decorating the tree and started to clean up so that their house would be clean for the guests coming on Christmas.

That night, as they fell asleep, Ady glanced at John and smiled, remembering the kiss they had shared that started their whole relationship.

FLASHBACK

Before the song ended, John turned Ady back around and pulled her even closer to him than before. They felt a certain electricity in the air as they stared into each other's eyes. John lowered his lips to hers and for the third time that day, they kissed each other. Ady ran her fingers through his hair as she pulled him closer to her, kissing him deeper than before. When they broke apart, they were both panting.

Ady smiled as she looked into his eyes. She saw something in them that made her heart flutter. "John, do you love me?"

He pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "More than you know."

She laughed quietly to herself as she bit her lip. "Well, I know this. I love you too, John."

END FLASHBACK

Ady fell asleep soon after that, thinking about her new life with John, and how perfect their new family would be. After first meeting him, she had a feeling that he would change her life. She just never knew how much better her new life would be with him.

A/N: That's it, the story's over. I know probably all of you were looking forward to seeing John kick Brendan's ass for what he did, but I hope you guys like the way I ended it. I want to thank all of you who reviewed the story, and I'm glad you all enjoyed it. Until the next fic, I'm out like a fat kid in dodgeball! P
