A/N: I really should be working on "Drive Thru Window," but I'm feeling inspired, so yea! I only own Sara, and own no one who is really in the WWE. For my story's sake, I'm going to pretend that Heidenreich isn't gay or bisexual or whatever! Enjoy folks! By the way, have y'all heard Eminem's new song, Just Lose It? It is awesome! Ok, on with the story…

Saying Goodbye

Sara's POV:

I can't believe that it's already been a week! I did some math, and since I'm about a month pregnant now, the baby should be born sometime around mid April! I can't wait, well I'm not looking forward to the stretch marks and painful delivery, but I can't wait until I get to hold my baby girl or boy in my arms! I've become addicted to shows like A Baby Story and Birth Day. Judging by those, I'm going to have to get a shot in my back, which looks REALLY painful! I went to the doctors 3 days ago, and he says that so far everything is great! John and I are heading back on the road September 1st, and I really couldn't wait! Chilling out at home for a few days is great, but I love the thrill of being in front of thousands of fans almost every other night. There's autograph signings, photo shoots, and I'm going to be interviewed for SmackDown magazine!

We had a blast with Chris and Andrea when they came to visit. Now John and I were in North Carolina on the day that Chris was getting shipped off to Iraq, Monday August 30th, 2004. I keep telling myself that I'm not going to cry, but I don't think that it will work. We were all at the military base, and there were tons of soldiers and their families hanging around. I saw married couples, expecting couples, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, hyper active kids, and clingy babies, talking and hugging their loved ones. It really is a touching and heartbreaking sight to behold. I looked around at the military people, and realized that some of them would probably come home in pieces or in a casket, hoping that Chris wouldn't be one of them. I truly have a deep respect for our armed services. They are fighting to protect our country, and help those who can't help themselves. (A/N: If you know anyone in the service, you would understand this. Our soldiers need our thanks, so next time you see a soldier, thank them! Ok, I'm going to get back to the story now!) A few soldiers came up and asked John and I for our autographs when they realized who we were. We didn't hesitate, and even took a few pictures with some of them. One guy asked me if he could get a kiss, so I gave him a peck on the cheek! He was shocked that I did that, I guess he thought that I wouldn't! John didn't mind, or at least I don't think he minded.

After mingling with the soldiers, it was time to say goodbye to Chris. I could already feel the tears building up in my eyes. Chris and Andrea walked over to us, and I saw that Andrea was bawling, so I instantly started crying too.

"Hey now, no crying allowed you two!" Chris said as he hugged both of us.

"I tried Chrissy, it just didn't work to well!" I sniffled. I looked over to John, and even he appeared to be choked up! "Be careful over there Chris. I know that you'll be on the frontlines, but please don't try to be a hero. Think of your family and friends, because if anything happened to you, we'd all be devastated. You have to write me letters as much as you can, and e-mail me even more!"

"Don't worry, I'm trained for this stuff! I will write you whenever I can, and I'll try to call once in a while! You better send me pictures of your growing baby belly!" Chris told me.

"Don't worry, I will!" I said as I broke our hug. I went over to John, and he put his arm around me while Andrea and Chris said their goodbyes.

"You better come back to me so we can get married Chris! I love you sweetie!" Andrea said as she clung on to Chris.

"I will, I mean I got tons of incentive now! You, our wedding, Sara, my niece or nephew, I'll have plenty of reasons to make it home! I love you Andrea!" Chris said as he bent down to kiss her. They broke the kiss when Chris's platoon got called. Andrea was still crying, and I was still trying to stop crying. Andrea gave him one last hug and kiss, and then I gave him another hug.

"I love you Chrissy!" I said as I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Love you too lil sis!" Chris said as John walked over to him.

"Be safe dawg!" John said as he gave Chris a hug.

"I will. You take care of my Sara!" Chris said, looking John in the eye.

"Not going to be a problem! If the WWE goes over to Iraq for Christmas this year, I'll look out for ya! Bye!" John said, putting his arm around me again.

"Ok, I'll see y'all in about a year! Bye!" Chris said before he joined his Marine buddies. They all lined up and then got onto the plane. Chris turned around and waved to us before he finally got onboard. Ten minutes later, the plane started up and took off into the sky. Andrea started sobbing again, and sat down on the ground watching the plane getting smaller and smaller. I sat down next to her, and gave her a hug and started crying too. John stood over both of us, and just stared at the sky. We all stayed there until the plane was completely gone, and then headed back out to our cars.

"You going to be ok Andy?" I asked my upset friend.

"Eventually. How bout you?"

"Yea, I think I'll be ok. Remember, if you ever need anything, we're just a phone call away. You can come crash at our place whenever we're home too."

"I know. I was thinking about heading back to Michigan to see my family for a little bit. I'll be watching you on TV though! Bye Sara, bye John." Andrea said as she hugged both of us.

"Bye Andrea!" John said as he unlocked our car.

"Bye best friend!" I replied as I got into the car. I waved once more, and then drove out of the parking lot. We had a plane to catch and then tomorrow John and I had an autograph signing and a show. I also had a photo shoot over in California on Saturday. Life was going to be pretty hectic for the next few weeks.

"So how ya doing?" John asked me.

"Eh, not too bad, not too good. I've been dreading that day since I was 16. I can't wait until we're welcoming him home!" I said as I reclined my seat.

"Yea, he should have a good homecoming. Chris is a pretty cool dude, you're lucky to have someone like him in your life." John said, staring ahead at the road.

"I am. He is the big brother I never had." I responded. We sat there in silence for a few more minutes, and then John started talking again.

"Sara, there's something that I need to tell you." John said looking serious.

"Ok, go ahead."

"The morning after you found out that you were pregnant, I found a note from David and Haley taped to our door. It said that they were back, and that no one could protect you this time. I should've told you sooner, but you were just so happy that I couldn't." John confessed.

"Yea, I know." I quietly answered.

"How do you know?"

"When I was doing laundry, I found the note in your pants pocket. It's not a big deal, they don't scare me anymore. Those two are all talk, and almost no action. It's ok, I understand why you didn't tell me." I answered.

"Ok, cool. I'm still going to be watching your back though, just in case!" John said.

We drove for about an hour, and then were at the airport. We turned in the rental car, and then went through the terminal to our plane. The flight was really smooth, and we were in Missouri around 7 p.m. We checked into the hotel, went up to our room, and were out for the night.

I got up around 10, and took a quick shower. I got John up, and then got myself ready. We left the hotel at 11:30 and stopped at McDonald's for lunch before getting to the signing. Charlie and Jackie were also at the signing, so today should be pretty fun.

"Hey Sara! How was your time off?" Jackie asked me.

"Great! I'm a month pregnant!" I told her.

"Oh my God! That's awesome Sara! I had heard that they were changing your storyline again, but didn't know why! You and John as parents, this is gonna be interesting!" Jackie exclaimed.

"I know, it's going to be an experience alright! Yea, my new storyline is kind of dumb. I have a match today, but I won't be doing anything physical. It's going to be a no contest between Dawn and me. I'll be distracting the ref, Heidenreich will sneak in knocking Dawn out, and then leaving so I can get the pin. Like I said, pretty dumb. The thing that really sucks is that I can't go over to RAW until after the pregnancy, since the current storyline with Amy is going on." I said, sitting down at a table.

"At least you will still be around! Plus, you get to stay on SmackDown with me longer! Your 21st birthday is coming up in October, right? Oh man, you won't be able to go out and get drunk, since your pregnant! You're going to have to wait like seven more months!" Jackie said, taking a sip of her water.

"Oh yea, not fair! I guess since I've waited 21 years that seven months won't kill me!"

"Sara, Jackie its time for our signings!" John said, walking over to us. Jackie and I ended our conversation, and then walked out with John and Charlie. The fans waiting in line started cheering, and I was amazed at how long the line was. It looked to be never ending, and we were only here for 4 hours, with a 45-minute break. The first two hours went by pretty fast, and it was mostly little kids with their parents.

We took our break, and John and I had to do a quick interview for a local newspaper.

"So, rumor has it that you two are married. Is that true?" the guy asked us.

"Yea, it's true." I answered.

"We've been married for a year." John added.

"Well congratulations you two! Ok, next question! Sara, how do you feel about your almost overnight popularity, you are certainly a fan favorite!"

"Hmm, I'm loving it! It was a little overwhelming at first, but I got used to it. I just hope that the fans keep on liking me!" I said.

"I have a feeling that they will! John, you are a fan favorite, your wife is a fan favorite, and how is it working together? Is there any jealousy issues involved it?"

"No, I think it's great that Sara is popular with the fans! You're right we are both fan favs, so put two power people together and BAM! You have an awesome combo!" John responded.

"Ok cool! Sara, what can you tell us about John? Bad habits, embarrassing things, stuff that annoys you?" the guy asked me.

"Oh man, that could take too long! Naw, I'm just kidding. I don't know, he doesn't really annoy me! I guess its pretty funny when he sings in the shower! No offense baby, but you should stick to the free styling!" I told the reporter.

"Hey now, I don't sing in the shower that much!" John said in his own defense.

"John, tell us something about Sara." The reporter asked.

"Hmm, let me think on this one! Sara is a really big blonde! She asks questions and blurts out things that could one-up Jessica Simpson! My favorite saying that she's said is when we were walking to our room in a hotel, and she looked up at the ceiling and said, "The ceiling is on the ceiling!" That was most memorable, but there's a whole bunch of other things that would split your gut!" John replied, smiling.

"John that's not a blonde comment! It just came out wrong! Our room was on the middle floor, so when I said that I meant to say that the ceiling is on the floor! It's true, our 2nd story ceiling is the 3rd story's floor!" I explained.

"You two are great! Well that's all I got for you! Oh, one more thing! Do you two have any plans for babies?" The reporter asked us.

John and I were both silent, until I came up with an answer. "Yea, there will be little Cena's running around in the future!"

"Thanks, this will be a good interview! Have a nice day!" The reporter said as he walked out of the room.

The rest of the autograph signing went fine, and then it was time to go to the show!

A/N: Sorry that was so long! Oh, the ceiling is on the ceiling thing is something that I actually said. It was like 3:30 in the morning at a church youth group thing in Canada, and me and some of my friends were lying in the hotel hallway being stupid, and that slipped out! Hope y'all liked it, and sorry if I got a little too wordy with the whole Chris leaving thing. My friend is going to be leaving in a year, so I'm emotional about it already! Peace out and review!
