Chapter 11

So here they were again, Marie and John driving to the arena where Raw was going to be held. They were about to drop the engagement and pregnancy bomb on Steve. They'd already called the corporate office and talked to Vince and Stephanie about Marie not wrestling anymore...

They both said congrats to both pieces of news and said they'd figure a small not too active storyline to involve Marie in until she was half way through her pregnancy, the doctor had given her the okay to travel until she was 5 months. And Marie was stubborn enough to do it...she knew staying at home was going to make her crazy.

John had already asked her to move in with him in West Newbury, Massachusetts. Of course she said yes...over the week and weekend they had packed up her whole place and moved it to Massachusetts.

John looked at Marie she'd been having small bouts of morning sickness all day...she wasn't really throwing up, she was just really nauseas...naturally she also had jetlag from the plane ride.

Marie had pushed the arm rest up and laid down in the seat with her head in John's lap...He was running his fingers lightly through her hair, trying to help her stay calm.

They finally got to the arena and John took Marie's hand and helped her out of the SUV as they made their way into the arena and started looking for Steve. They found him relaxing in his office...doing what else? Drinking a beer and reading a magazine, with his feet kicked up on his desk.

Marie and John walked in and closed and locked the door as Steve put his feet on the floor emptied the can of beer and tossed the magazine aside and looked back and forth between his daughter and her boyfriend...they both looked too serious to not be here on some kind of family business.

Steve said, "Okay what's with you two...you're too serious for me." Marie said, "Dad...remember when you asked me if I was going to marry John, and said, I was hoping too?" Steve nodded and said, "Yea...you had the same smile on your face as you do now..." John said, "I asked Marie to marry me and she said yes."

Steve jumped to his feet and clapped his hands together and said, "Hot damn! A wedding and finally more men in the family." Steve walked around the desk and shook hands with John as he hugged the stuffing's out of Marie.

Marie grabbed Steve's arm and said, "Well wait, we need to run something by you first." Steve sat on the edge of the desk as John and Marie remained standing...Marie said, "We were hoping to get married at the end of the month...nothing fancy just a small church wedding with friends and family from work...and of course I want you to give me away."

Steve said, "Wait a minute...why the sudden rush on getting married, the end of the month is in 3 weeks." Marie smiled and said, "Well...Because generally the rule of thumb is to get married and then have babies...but since me and John aren't really THAT traditional and we NEVER follow rules...We did it backwards..."

Steve could feel his heart in his throat as he looked at her with his piercing blue eyes and said, "Are you telling me, I'm gonna be a grandpa?" Marie smiled and looked at John who was absolutely beaming with fatherhood pride and Marie said, "Yea...You're going to be a grandpa...Think you can handle the job?"

Steve said, "Better then anyone else!" Marie smiled her big smile as Steve hugged her and kissed the top of her head...They all went out to dinner to celebrate with Mark and Rachel.
