Chapter 8
A/N: Nice to finally be back! . So many vacations and crap… But I would like to send BIG thanks out to all my readers and reviewers! I love y'all! Also, I would like to send lots of love to ChrisBenoitRules; who was the first to review on Chapter 7. Thankies! .
"France sucks." John muttered, just loud enough for Seany and Chris to hear. Seany glared at him- it hadn't changed the past three days that the trio had been in Paris. The next day they were leaving for Italy for a day, making their way through Germany to get there- then 2 nights in Spain because John promised to buy the tickets.
But Chris and Seany knew that he wouldn't pay. Of course it wasn't a full 5 week trip- Vince's secretary had called to tell them that they would be coming back in a week. They all had forgotten that there was a draft coming up- and news had already gone about that Dave had been one of the first picks. A fresh face would be coming from SmackDown when Y2J and the Dr. returned- which made things a little more exciting for Seany, even if she didn't get to be on the show.
Seany had decided to ignore John's comment- she knew that there would be another 5 million about all the other countries until they got to Spain; then it would be his heaven. Seany didn't understand why he loved the place so much; and to be honest, she didn't think he did either. But it gave him something to do while he was on vacation, and God knows what he'd have been doing if he didn't have that.
They had stopped to eat at a French McDonalds- which Seany had already fallen in a deep and passionate love with. Although they didn't have Fruitopia, her favorite fast-food drink; they had French water, which was in her opinion a whole heck of a lot better. So she would order the fruit salad and water, while the other two would pig out on burgers. She made sure that they would pay for it later in their Seany-forced workouts.
Yet, she had made sure that her last day in the country would be different. So instead of her usual meal, she ordered a strawberry milkshake- her 'other' favorite thing at any place that offers them. So now she was sitting there, at the outside, round table; stirring her milkshake and gazing into its thick, pink depths.
"I wanna go somewhere that's actually worth lookin' at." John said in a bored and slightly whiney tone. Seany only glanced at him out of the corner of her eyes, not taking him seriously. Chris, on the other hand, glared at him and leaned back in his chair.
"Then you can go to the Swatch-FIVB; it's got a whole day's worth today." Seany answered; sure that he didn't know what she was talking about- although the signs and advertisements were all over the place- in French.
"Where?" John asked in reply, and Seany could tell that he was curious. A witty smirk appeared on her face and she looked at him innocently. He raised his eyebrows, as if asking her exactly when she would answer his question.
"It's just the beach volleyball team… The French women's beach volleyball team." Seany informed him, and John nodded slowly. Chris sat up, looking straight at John. Seany really was brilliant when it came to overpowering John.
"Well, then I guess we'll be going to go see some sexy mamas."
"Actually, you are. I'm going to the Eiffel Tower- we haven't been yet." Chris cut off his idea- something Seany was beginning to love to do. Bursting John's bubbles was fun and self-esteem boosting- plus, the look on his face was always worth it in the end.
"I'm going with Chris- the Eiffel Tower's awesome." Seany agreed, finishing her milkshake. John shrugged.
"Too bad- more French, bikinied women for me."
Chris rolled his eyes. "Oh yeah, I'm sure Seany would steal a million of 'em John." He said sarcastically, and once again Cena shrugged. It was obvious that this time John really didn't care if the two came along or not- he was determined to pick up a few women; whether they accompanied him or not.
2 hours later…
"Oh my gosh! It's so pretty!" Seany exclaimed, still too far away from the Eiffel Tower that all she could see was the outline and basic shape of the monument. Chris raised an eyebrow, but decided not to say anything that would be too insulting.
"Wait until we get closer."
Chris had been right. Seany had thought that the landmark looked neat from almost a mile away- but closer up, it was just amazing. Well, to her at least. She knew that John wouldn't have liked it; and she thought that Chris would have felt the same. Why was he changing now?
"You know that Tom Cruise proposed to Katie Holmes up there?" Seany asked, looking up at the tower. They were only at the base, and Seany was having a hard time; having to tilt her head to far back and all.
"Huh? Oh yeah, I heard about that." Chris was fumbling with something inside of a bag that he had brought- which was slowly but surely starting to wear on Seany's nerves.
She turned towards him, grabbing the bag by the side and tugging on it, trying to pull it away from him. "What the hell have you got in there?" She asked, now curious as to what he had been doing. Chris instantly jerked it back, keeping it in the hand furthest from her.
"You'll find out."
Seany glared at him slightly, and then crossed her arms. Her mood swings hadn't been getting too bad lately, with the exception of John; and it wasn't that she hated him or anything- she just found it amusing to tease him like that. Everyone did; with the exception of John once more.
"God, these stairs are… Climby." Seany said, complaining but in more of a plain tone. Chris rolled his eyes.
"Good one, Jessica." He replied, swinging the plastic bag with his arms. Seany eyed it once more, but decided not to ask. She had already tried 5 times since they started to climb the stairs- each one she failed to discover what was inside.
Once they reached their destination, Chris hurried over to the side to look over. Seany, on the other hand, stood at the top of the stairs. She was not going near that rail. It took him a few moments, but Chris realized that Seany wasn't beside him.
"What're you doing?" He asked, walking over to her and grabbing her gently by the wrist. "You wanted to come, so come look." He pulled on her arm, but she grabbed the stair-rail. Chris let go, looking at her in mere disbelief. "What the hell?" He asked, not yet moving.
"You know I'm scared of heights."
"Actually, I didn't." He replied in a cold tone. He held out his hand, looking back over the side of the tower then back at her. "C'mon Sean, get over there." Seany looked at him skeptically, but then sighed. She knew she'd have to go over there, even if he had to carry her.
"Fine, but only for a couple of seconds." She clung to his upper arm, though most of it was muscle. Chris had no problem getting closer to the side- but Seany, on the other hand, did. As Chris leaned over the side to look down, she barely peered across the railing at the trees only a couple yards down and away.
Chris looked at her, trying to pry away her hand from his arm. "Sean, your nails are digging into my skin," He murmured, and she reluctantly let go.
"It's not like you haven't busted your head open before," She replied coldly, crossing her arms but staying close to him. "You know, you were right; this is-" Seany stopped as something cold and hard hit her back- something wet. She whipped around to see nothing; but to hear someone laughing on the stairs.
"The hell?" She felt the back of her white blouse, it was soaked in water. "What did you do?" She asked angrily, hitting Chris hard on the arm. He too looked confused, gaping at the stairs as if Seany hadn't touched him.
Chris turned to face her as if to say something; when he was hit with something also. They both had no clue who it was- Chris had cleared the public out so that they could have some privacy and not be bothered by fans or anyone else. Seany had noticed a slow change in how protective he was of her; and to be honest, she didn't really mind it at all.
"You should have seen your face!" John was laughing at the top of the stairs; a 'super soaker' like water gun in one arm. Chris's face turned a light shade of red with anger.
"You goddamned idiot!" Jericho growled, although he and Seany had known that something was going to happen. There was just no way that John would let them have a perfectly normal day without him having his version of fun.
"Hey guys," John had that smile on his face as if he were an 8 year old. "They canceled the games; I thought I'd come and surprise you." The bottom half of his body was hidden by the stairs- it was obvious that he was hiding something.
Chris glared at him as his face returned to its natural color. "Did you get it?" He asked, wiping at the edges of his shirt. Unlike Seany, John had hit Chris in the side- causing some of the water to seep to the front of his shirt.
"Yes, I did- did you get your half?" John asked, his hand disappearing underneath the overhang of the stairway. Chris nodded and held up the plastic bag.
"I knew you two had something going on!" Seany declared, reaching for the bag that Jericho was holding in the air. He pulled it away, waiting a few moments before handing it to her.
She looked at him questioningly, and then opened it. "Why thank you- for this lovely," She paused, pulling out a ball of yarn. "Ball of yarn." Seany looked back in the bag and cautiously pulled out what looked like a mouse by its tail. "A rat?" As obvious as it was to John and Chris, Seany didn't yet understand.
"You'll get it- close your eyes," Chris replied, not giving her time to refuse. She could hear him leaving and walking over to John, whom seemed to be laughing. "You bought that one?" Chris asked in a frustrated tone.
"I thought she'd like it…" John argued, and Seany was tempted to open her eyes- but she decided to let their little plan work its course. "Here." John muttered, and shoved something little and furry into her arms. Seany's eyes flew open with a squeal.
"John I love you!" Seany threw an arm around his neck, her other arm holding the little black colored kitten that she had just discovered. It was a small kitten- probably just old enough to leave its mother. It had white 'boots' and big, curious emerald eyes.
"I knew it!" John happily rested his hand on her back while they could both see Jericho quickly getting angrier and seemingly jealous.
"I came up with that idea!" Chris seemed furious and Seany giggled once more. "You need to name it; dipstick." He mumbled to Seany, whom let go of John.
Although she had mistaken who the kitten was from; the grin on Seany's face was worth it to them both. "Alright, alright- we'll have to see." She raised the small feline to her face, its big amber eyes looked at Seany in wonder. "Hey baby girl."
"Boy." Chris and John said in unison, as Jericho once more seemed to calm himself down. Seany nodded as if she didn't hear them, holding the kitten lightly against her chest.
"Fine, be that way." Seany grumbled, but was still delighted about her present from the two. She smiled once more at the two, who had happened to stop talking and watch her reaction; and then Chris happened to get down on one knee infront of her.Instantly a red flag went off in her head and she slowly started to panic."Chris- stop, you're scaring me," Seany said as he took her hand. "John, make him stop."
"Seany," Chris started, unable to fight the smile on his face. "There's a reason why I bought you that kitten and brought you to the Eiffel Tower."
"John, I'm telling you; hit him or poke him in the eye or something…" Seany continued, something that reminded her of nerves clawing at the inside of her stomach. John just stood to the side, a smirk on his face as he opened a bottled soft drink. "Please don't do this Chris," She begged, and he raised an eyebrow.
"How do you know what I'm doing?" Chris then seemed to realize the flaw in his plan. "Oh.. I'm not proposing, if that's what you think." He assured her, and she started to calm down as the emergency sirens in her head stopped. Seany instantly relaxed and in turn looked at him quizzically. "You do remember that you're pregnant, right?" He asked.
Seany rolled her eyes. "No, Chris, enlighten me on that."
"Well, we're having a baby Seany…"
John looked like he could have sprayed the drink across the world. He almost choked as he forced himself to swallow, looking at the two as if they were aliens. "You're the father! I thought it would have been someone that she actually liked…" He paused. "Oh." It was as if he had just solved every puzzle in the world ever to be created. Although Seany thought that he had only figured out something small- the Doctor of Thuganomics could be smart and have some memory sometimes.
Seany, however, wasn't so surprised. "You know John- I like people; just not you." As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Cena seemed offended.
"Well, God- I like you, Seany," He shot back, fixing a hurt look on his features.
Chris looked as if he were getting aggravated once more. "Can I please finish! My God John, why couldn't you have stayed at the games?" John became quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the purring of Seany's new kitten as she scratched it behind the ears.
"Alright, I give up." Chris stood up, looking tired and considerably irritated; which made Seany in turn feel guilt-ridden for anything that she had done wrong. She noticed that he hadn't let go of her hand, and took the chance to gently hug him.
"Chris," She said in a low apologetic tone.
"Hm?" Jericho asked in reply, tucking some of her hair behind her ear. Seany could feel that John was probably jealous at how physically close the two were- and she didn't care at all; she actually liked it.
"You're squishing my kitten."
John snickered a little, and there was a faint sound of a liquid swishing as he took another long swig of his soft drink. Chris sighed and took a few steps back as the kitten mewed, causing Seany's attention to advert back to it.
"I guess we need to leave then," Chris sounded defeated, which was something that rarely ever happened- even when he didn't win. "Your doctor called earlier and I had to reschedule your appointment."
"To when?" Seany and John asked in chorus, both curious and Seany a little nervous as to what time she would have to go.
"Monday; at 12:30." It was only a mere 2 days away; which made Seany's stomach churn even worse.
"Why so early?" She asked, some of the tension apparent in her voice.
"Because they wanted to see you before 8 weeks and they wouldn't be able to fit you in any other time." He answered, and Seany nodded. It was then that she noticed what they were doing- simply standing there and talking. What a way to spend your last day in Europe.
"I miss you already." The look on John's face spoke for itself; and exposed him for the sarcastic liar that he was.
"Yeah- it's a bad thing that you have to live with me, isn't it John?" Chris retorted, and the sound of his setback disappeared out of his voice.
"Shut up."
The next morning…
Seany had almost forgotten where she was when she opened her eyes. Then she remembered that they were on the flight home; or at least to John and Chris's home. At first she was confused as to whom she was beside, but as a lock of golden hair fell in her face she knew that it was Chris. He probably wouldn't have let John sit beside her anyways.
As a tired habit of hers, she raised her head and looked around. She had been lying on Chris's shoulder- who was now asleep; with John alone and napping across the aisle with the kitten on his lap. Of course it had been hard to convince her to let it go; but she had been half asleep anyways. Besides, they would probably sleep the whole time- and she knew they would; ever since Jericho had insisted on leaving at 5:30 in the morning.
"Sean?" Chris asked in a drowsy voice as he began to come around. "What're you doing?" He asked, and Seany could tell that he was having trouble staying awake; considering that it was still dark outside.
"Go to sleep." Seany commanded quietly, laying her head back down on the side of his chest. He didn't protest, but rather resumed how he had been holding her before she had awakened. She smiled a little as she tried to fall asleep- things were changing, and she knew that she couldn't stop some of it; but who said that she disliked the change?
