Chapter 23

Jessie woke up disoriented. She didn't really remember where she was and when she noticed a body under her cheek she shot up. She looked down and saw that it was her dad. She calmed down immediately. John stirred when he felt Jessie sit up. He looked up at her unkempt hair and half asleep face and laughed "morning babygirl. Sleep well?".

"Yeah until I felt you underneath me. I didn't know who it was" John chuckled and got up out of bed. He went over to the phone and ordered room service.

"We're gonna have Trish, Randy, Alexis, Mark, and Victoria here for breakfast" John said walking over to his suitcase and getting out something to wear for the day.

"Oh ok cool" Jessie said unenthusiastically. John immediately picked up on her mood and turned around to face her.

"Babygirl what's wrong? Did you want breakfast to be just you and me? If so I can call the others and cancel its no big deal" John walked back over to the bed and sat down beside Jessie putting his arm around her shoulder.

"It's not that. I just...I don't wanna feel like a 3rd wheel or whatever. I mean its you and Trish, Randy and Alexis, and Mark and Victoria and oh me" Jessie looked toward the other side of the room so she didn't have to see John's face. John got up from the bed and went back over to the phone, he picked it up and dialed a number.

"Hey" he said when the person picked up "how would you like to come to dinner and be an eighth. Yeah I don't want Jessie being a 7th wheel to me and Trish and Mark and Victoria and Randy and Alexis. Ok good yeah my room ok bye" John turned and looked at Jessie with a smile "there now you'll have someone to talk to if all us couples are doing coupley things". Jessie got up and walked over to John smiling.

"Thanks dad" she said hugging him. He hugged her back and kissed her forehead.

"No problem babygirl. Now as I was doing before I'mma go shower and get dressed. If the room service gets here before I get out let them in and tip them. My wallets in the pants I had on last night" and with that John went into the bathroom to do his thing. Jessie went over to her suitcase and picked out her clothes for the day. She picked out a beige skirt, and a dark blue shortsleeve shirt that said 'Legend Killer's Niece' in light blue writing on the chest. Randy had gotten it for her at one of those places that made T-shirts for $10 or so. She took out some sandals that were made out of a hard plastic and painted to look like wood that had a 3 or so inch heel and sat all the clothes on the bed.

There was a knock on the door and Jessie went to answer it. It was a bellhop bringing the food. Jessie let him wheel the cart in and tipped him $5 as a tip. The bellhop left and Jessie looked over what John had ordered. There was toast, French Toast, eggs (scrambled and fried), bacon, sausage, ham, strawberries, grapes, melon, and small white powdered donuts. Jessie shook her head and laughed that John had ordered so much food. He always seemed to over do things.

John came out of the bathroom running a towel through his hair. "Oh good the breakfast is here" he said noticing the cart "you better go take a shower before the others get here babygirl" Jessie nodded and gathered up her clothes making her way into the bathroom.

When Jessie came out of the bathroom she saw that Trish, Randy and Alexis had already arrived and they along with John were sitting around talking.

"Nice shirt sweetie" Randy said when he saw it. Jessie turned in a circle, smiling cheekily showing off her outfit. She went to sit on her bed which was so far unoccupied. As she was hovering over the bed ready to sit there was a knock on the door. Since Jessie was pretty much up she went and answered it. On the other side were Mark, Victoria and and Marc (John's cousin Trademarc). Jessie smiled and hugged each of them.

"What are you doing here?" she asked Marc as they were sitting down. He, Jindrak and Victoria joined Jessie on her bed while Trish, Randy, Alexis and John sat on the other.

"Well since someone's birthday is tomorrow and Summerslam is tonight I figured I'd come visit" Jessie
blushed, she had almost forgotten that tomorrow she would be turning 15. She had been looking forward to it since the week before.

"Let's eat" John said getting up and making is way to the cart of food. Everyone just sat around chatting for breakfast and Jessie was pleasantly surprised to see that none of the couples paired off and that she was even included in the conversation.

"Blah" Randy said looking at his watch "we gotta get to the arena soon" with that everyone got up and made their way out of the hotel and to the arena.

At the arena Jessie went into the locker room that John and Randy were sharing. Randy laid his stuff down and walked out to check the match schedule. "Trish I need your help with something" Jessie said looking at the blonde diva.

"Ok what is it?" Trish asked.

"I want revenge on Randy and Maven for having me be around with Shelton last night and I came up with an idea to sneak in their room when they're asleep and make em up and take pics" when she revealed her plan both Trish and John cracked up.

"Good one. I got some old make up you can use" Trish said wiping her tears.

"I'll help you get into their rooms babygirl" John said wanting in on the act. Jessie nodded smiling. After a few minutes John and Trish went off to do their thing leaving Jessie by herself. She got bored so she went to go watch the show. She saw a free monitor and smiled.

Jessie sat in front of the monitor to watch the next match that would be going on. She was surprised when she heard John's music start. She watched as he made his way to the ring. He did none of his usual showmanship instead looking like he was insanely mad. He got in the ring and took off his shirt, ignoring the screams from the women in the audience. Another music started and Jessie recognized it to be Kurt Angle's. She watched as the Olympic Gold Medalist made his way to the ring making teasing gestures toward John who was standing in the corner of the ring keeping his cold gaze on Kurt. Kurt got in the ring and the bell was rang for the match to start.

Jessie watched as the two men exchanged vicious blows. She heard Jerry Lawler say something about the match being a hardcore match but Jessie saw that neither men were using weapons. The battle spilled outside the ring where John whipped Kurt into the steps. Jessie smiled and cheered for John as he took control. Jessie watched as Kurt rolled out of the way of John who was attempting to smash Kurt's body with the steel steps. Kurt kicked the steps into John's face and quickly stood up. Jessie by this point was into the match and didn't notice Randy and Marc sit on each side of her. While John was indisposed Kurt took advantage and hit him in the back with a steel chair. Jessie screamed as she heard the impact.

Kurt threw John in the ring and followed him in as John was standing up Kurt hit him in the back with the steel chair several more times. John collapsed to the mat and held onto his lower back. Jessie felt tears come to her eyes and run down her cheeks. She saw the pain on John's face and couldn't stand it. Randy put his arm around Jessie's shoulder and said "he's ok" but Jessie didn't hear him, didn't even know he was there. Kurt had taken advantage of John being down and dragged him over to the ring post. He slid out of the ring and pulled John so that he was straddling the large metal post. Kurt wrapped his legs around John's in a modified figure four. Jessie sobbed as she saw John scream in pain trying to break the hold.

Kurt got tired of the hold and broke it. He grabbed an object from under the ring and Jessie's eyes widened when she saw that it was a sledge hammer. Kurt took the hammer and rammed it into John's stomach and knee several times with John screaming from the pain.

Kurt tired of the hold and broke it. He rolled in the ring and kicked John in the face a couple of times before trying to cover him. The ref counted to two before John's arm came up off the ring. Kurt got mad and started slamming John's head into the ring. He got up bringing John with him and hit 3 consecutive suplexes onto the mat. Kurt covered John's almost limp body again but only got a 2 count once more. Jessie was almost hysterical at this point and both Randy and Marc were trying to shield her from the curious looks of various backstage workers and other wrestlers who were staring at her as if she had 3 heads and green hair coming out of her nose and eyes.

In the ring John had gotten up and was landing weak punches to Kurt's face that were doing little damage. John, in a move of desperation, whipped Kurt as hard as he could into the turnbuckles. He walked over slowly to Kurt's proned body and pulled him onto his weak shoulders. John fell down on one knee under Kurt's weight but managed in a burst of energy to stand up. He sent a wild look to the audience and FU'ed Kurt to the mat. John dropped and covered Kurt to win the match. After the match John laid exhausted on the mat. Kurt somehow managed to get to his feet and pulled John up. Kurt landed 3 more suplexes sending John to the mat. He wasn't done though. Kurt then picked John's body up and power bombed him 5 times in succession. He stood there and smiled sickly at John's prone body. John lay on the mat not moving. Jessie watched as the ref checked him and called for the paramedics.

Jessie was still sobbing when the paramedics brought John on the stretcher to the back. Since it was all for show John got up off the stretcher as soon as they were away from the live audience. He heard crying and looked behind him and saw Jessie with her head in her hands sobbing. He saw the monitor behind her and immediately knew she had saw the match. He saw Randy whisper something to her and she looked up and at John. She got up off her seat and ran to him flinging herself in his arms paying no mind to the blood on his face or the sweat covering his body.

John held her for a bit, whispering in her ear that he was ok before Jessie lifted her head from his shoulder "I didn't mean for you to see that" John said looking Jessie in the eye.

"Well I did" Jessie said matter of factly "and it scared me. Are you ok?" Jessie looked right in the eye to make sure he would tell the truth.

"I'm ok. A little sore and I need to get stitches for my head but I'll be ok I promise" Jessie nodded and hugged John again.

"I love you daddy" she said, voice muffled by his shoulder.

"Love you too babygirl" John said letting Jessie down on her own feet.

"Now go get those stitches mister and maybe if your a good boy I'll give you a lollipop" John laughed and stuck his tongue out at her, making a face when blood seeped onto it. Jessie smacked his arm and pushed John in the direction of where she thought the medic was. John laughed and pointedly looked at her as he turned and walked the other way.

Jessie made her way back over to where Randy and Marc were sat after John left and sat on Randy's lap "you realize that your covered in sweat" Randy asked Jessie pointing to her now sweaty shirt. She looked down and saw and squealed.

"And this is the only one I brought with me too" Jessie said sulkily. Randy laughed and stood up with her in his arms.

"I gotcha covered" he said simply before making his way over to where a vendor was taking out a box of t-shirts. He handed the man a $20 and grabbed one of the shirts. He walked back over to Jessie and handed it to her. She unfolded it and made a face. It was a brown Captain Charisma T-shirt.

"Hey" Randy said shrugging "I can't help it that the Fully Evolved shirts sell like hotcakes and you gotta take what's left" Jessie rolled her eyes and held the shirt in front of her like it was contaminated. She told Randy she was going to the Diva's locker room to change and left down the hall.

Jessie reached the locker room and knocked. A voice called out "If your not a man come right on in". Jessie laughed and walked in to see Trish looking through her bag. She had on some jeans and a blue bra.

"Lose something?" Jessie asked smiling. Trish looked up from her bag and rolled her eyes comically.

"Yes my favorite shirt" she said with a smile. "I know I packed it but I got so much stuff in here that I can't locate it. Jessie went over and randomly stuck her hand in the bag and pulled out a shimery blue button up shirt. Trish took it from her with a thanks and put it on. "So what brings you here?"

"I needa change" Jessie said gesturing to her sweat stained shirt. Trish laughed and motioned for her to do so. Jessie changed into the Captain Charisma shirt and sat on the bench beside Trish "so do you know what dad has planned for my birthday? If anything" Jessie said conversationally. Trish laughed and looked at her with a mock scolding look.

"Now Jessie what fun would I be if I told you John's plans?...if he had any" Trish added as an afterthought.

Jessie saw right through it though and knew something was up. Trish's cell phone rang and she immediately grabbed it up.

"Hey Sexy" she said after checking the ID. Jessie rolled her eyes and pretended to barf knowing that Trish was talking to her dad. Trish threw an old bra at her and Jessie squealed dodging it "yea she's here. Ok. Yeah. Hahaha. Yes. Ok I love you too boo. Bye" Trish hung up the phone and put it back in her bag "that was your dad. We're supposed to meet him at the exit".

"Ok that's cool" Jessie said standing up and following Trish out of the locker room. The girls made their way to where John, Alexis, Mark, Randy, Marc, and Victoria were waiting on them at the exit out of the back of the arena.

"Finally" Randy called out when he saw them. Trish gave him a rude gesture and Alexis smacked his ass. Jessie rolled her eyes and walked over and put her head on John's chest.

"Dad I hungwy" Jessie said in a little kids voice. John chuckled and put his arms around her.

"We'll get something at the hotel babygirl" he said. Jessie nodded and moved over to Marc. She smiled at him before jumping piggyback on him. He laughed and adjusted her weight. The group made their way out of the arena and to the car. They had driven in John's rental expedition so they could all ride together. They got to the hotel in record time. Everyone got out and made their way inside.

"Here we go" John said walking toward the banquet room. Jessie looked at him and everyone else weird when they started walking toward it.

"Daddy we can't eat there. Its not a restaurant just an empty banquet room" John laughed and walked over to her.

"Oh yea" he said "well why don't you and Marc and Randy and Alexis go in and the rest of us will go get the food" Jessie nodded and followed the others to the hall. For some reason they had Jessie open the door.

She opened the door and about a dozen people yelled out "SURPRISE". Jessie moved back in shock and backed into Marc. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek. She turned toward him.

"What? How? Huh?" she said. Marc laughed and lead her into the room. Jessie looked around and saw various people from the WWE including Vince McMahon himself. Jessie heard squealing come from the back of the crowd and saw 4 girls running toward her. She gasped when she realized who they were.

"Chloe? Lynnsey? Anna? Amy?" Jessie said looking at each girl in turn. They nodded and Jessie grabbed them up in a group hug, each girl crying their eyes out.

"We're sorry about your mom" Amy, a shy quiet brunette girl spoke up when the girls broke the hug.

"Yeah I member we'd come to your house and watch smackdown or raw and she'd bake us cookies and brownies. Hey Jess you know it's weird that John turned out to be your dad cause I member you used to be all like 'John is such a ho---'" Lynnsey didn't get to finish her sentence because Jessie put her hand over Lynnsey's mouth and glared at her.

"I don't think we need to reminisce too much right now" Jessie said tightly "move on forward I've always said".

"So this is the Randy Orton" Lynnsey said once Jessie let go of her lips, eyeing Randy up like a piece of meat. He gave her a polite smile and tried to focus on his conversation with Alexis. He still felt Lynnsey's eyes on his back though.

"See the girl Randy is talking to" Jessie said but the comment was pointedly to Lynnsey. The girls nodded "That's his cool girlfriend Alexis" Lynnsey immediately stopped staring at Randy and looked around the room. She found a new target, Maven.

Just then Jessie saw John, Mark, Victoria, and Trish, walk back in. She ran over to John and leapt in his arms in a hug. He barely had time to hand the cake over to Trish. He hugged her back and laughed lightly "like it babygirl?"

"Daddy I love it. I love you" Jessie said tearfully "this is the best birthday I've ever had".

"Well babygirl we're just getting started" he said. "Now let's go cut the cake". John carried Jessie over to a table in the center of the room and sat her in a chair. Trish sat the cake down in front of her and Jessie laughed when she realized it was various sexyish pics of John, Randy, Maven, Mark and Shelton. Jessie blew out the candles after people sang happy birthday and Trish handed her the spade to cut it with. Jessie laughed and smeared the pic of John which depicted him in the ring pretending to moon the crowd but green boxers were covering his butt.

"Hey!" John exclaimed "why'd you do that for".

"I don't wanna see pics like that of my dad" Jessie said with a grossed expression on her face. Everyone laughed and Lynnsey raised her hand.

"I do" she said. Jessie rolled her eyes and cut the cake. Everyone ate cake for a few minutes then things started winding down a bit. Randy came over to Jessie and leaned down to her.

"Sweetie come here" Randy said. Jessie got up and lead Jessie from her seat to the edge of the room where an area was cleared. He picked up a mic that had been sat on the floor and spoke into it.

"Everyone can I have your attention. As you all know we are here to celebrate Jessica Cena's birthday. Now I have known Jessie since the day she came into her daddy's life. I want you all to know that she has made a huge impact in not only on John's life but on mine. And well I was thinking over what I could do to show her how I feel about her, how she impacted my life. So I was listening to the radio and this song came on and I listened to the lyrics and it fit so perfectly. So" Randy turned toward Jessie "I want you to dance with me to this song. Now don't make fun of my dancing or don't smack me if I step on your toes" Randy finished with a joke. He put down the mic and took Jessie's hand.

The song started out, and as Jessie let Randy lead her out onto the dance floor, she felt tears prick the corners of her eyes when she realized what the song was. It was one of her favorite songs from when she was little, I Turn To You by Christina Aguilera. Randy looked down, and noticed the tears in her eyes.

"What's the matter sweetie?" He asked, wiping away the few fallen tears from Jessie's face.

"It's nothing. I just can't believe so many people are here for my birthday. I mean, half of them don't even know me" Jessie answered quietly, her head leaning on Randy's chest.

"Jessie. You mean so much to so many of us, I don't see why it shocks you so much that we'd all want to be here to celebrate your big day with you" Randy said, placing a kiss on the top of her head.

"Well I guess it's because before you and dad, nobody ever really cared as much. I mean, yeah it was good, but I never felt as wanted as I do now. As loved. Thank you for making me feel loved Randy. I love you." Jessie said, wrapping her arms around his waist in a hug.

"I love you too Jessie girl." Randy replied, trying to choke back the threatening tears, as they finished dancing to the song.

When the music stopped everyone started clapping. Jessie stood on her tiptoes and kissed Randy's cheek and hugged his neck, thanking him once again. She pulled back and made her way back to the table she was at before and John came over to her "time for presents babygirl" he said smiling at her. Jessie squealed and clapped her hands like a little kid. John's mom was first. She came up with a white box wrapped in a silver ribbon.

"Here sweetie" Carol said giving Jessie a hug. Jessie hugged her back and pulled back. She grasped the ribbon and pulled it off slowly. She took the ends of the paper and pulled it off the box. Jessie opened the box and peered inside. Inside there was a white photo album with a picture of she and John mugging for the camera. At the top in silver cursive writing it said 'Father-Daughter Memories' . Jessie opened the book and looked at some of the pictures. There were all kinds of ones detailing her life with her father. Jessie smiled a watery smile and thanked Carol.

Next John's brothers came up and Jessie laughed really hard when she saw that their present was wrapped in the comics page from the newspaper. "Here this is from the four of us" Matt said sitting it in front of Jessie. She opened it and laughed at what was inside. John's dvd, his Ruck Fules T-shirt, his bobble head doll, big foam finger, and the Judgement Day dvd of which John was on the cover. Jessie laughed and hugged each of them.

Next Mark Jindrak came up to her and handed her a small rectangle present. "Here honey" he said simply handing her the box. She opened it and pulled out a charm bracelet. She looked at the charms on it and smiled. There was an angel with long flowing hair, one that said Princess, one that said Daddy's girl, one shaped like the WWE symbol, one that said RKO, Word Life, MJ, rottweiler, one shaped like the Earth, a rainbow, a hummingbird, a book, one shaped like a tube of lipstick, and one in the international hand gesture for rock on.

Jessie smiled and leaned up to hug Mark. "Thank you" she said in his ear. Next came Trish and Victoria with a huge pink box with a purple ribbon. They set it in front of Jessie and motioned for her to open it. She did and squealed when she saw what was inside. It was full of Tommy clothes, make up, Brad Pitt movies, and perfume. She squealed again and hugged the both of them excitedly. John looked unamused at the makeup but felt outnumbered so he kept his mouth shut. Next Jessie was surprised when Vince McMahon came up to her.

"Hi Jessie I know we really don't know each other but since your a part of the WWE family I felt it was my duty to get you something" Jessie interrupted Vince.

"Mr. McMahon you didn't have to do that I wouldn't have expected anything from you" she said blushing heavily looking over at John who seemed to be shocked like she was.

"Yes I know" Vince said patiently, smiling kindly at her "but I wanted to since your dad has given so much to me and the WWE by putting people in seats. I know it isn't much or something that you'd really care about right now but...I am willing to pay the tuition for any college you get into. All four years" Jessie's mouth dropped open and if she had looked over at him she would have noticed John in a similar state.

"Mr. McMahon I don't know what to say" Jessie gasped out "thank you. Thank you so much" she stood up and hugged him. He hugged her back and walked away. Next Maven came meekly up clutching a box.

"Dang" he said quietly "I was hoping not to follow that but oh well guess I gotta" he handed her the box and Jessie opened it. Inside was a framed promo pic of Maven with his autograph on it and 2 dvd's, Willard and Rocky Horror Picture Show.

"Aww" Jessie said looking up at Maven "you remembered that night". Jessie was talking about a night about a month before. Everyone had been on dates and Maven had stayed with Jessie. She had been ill from some random bug and Maven had rented Willard and Rocky Horror Picture show. He held her as they watched the movies and she felt loads better. It had been a great night.

"Of course" Maven said simply. Jessie hugged him and he walked away. Alexis came up next and handed her a box.

"Aww thanks" Jessie said opening it. Inside were cds. Linkin Park-Meteora, Metallica-Black, Ozzy Osbourne-Greatest Hits, Korn-Greatest Hits. She looked up at Alexis and smiled "my favorites". She hugged Alexis and she walked away. John then came over and took Jessie's hand.

"Come with me babygirl it's time for my present" John lead her back over to the stage area and sat her in a chair facing the blank area of floor. He picked up the mic and looked at the crowd. "My babygirl is 15" he started off with a tone of amazement. "I know I wasn't in her life for the first 14 some odd years but it feels like I haven't missed a beat. Babygirl you have given me so much in the short time you've been in my life. It's almost as if, well its kinda like the Wizard of Oz movie. Before you my life was black and white I got up did my thing and went to bed. Then you came and everything turned to bright vibrant colors. I wake up in the morning with a smile on my face and well besides the fact that I have a wonderful girlfriend in my life its because of you. Babygirl I know I'm not the most articulate person in the world so when you were riding with Mark those few times, I had Randy drive. I know I know stupid thing to do. But I did it because I wanted to write my feelings down the only way I know how. In a rap. And I sent the lyrics to my boy Trademarc here" John said indicating Marc who had come to stand by him, mic in hand "and he put a dope beat to it. So without further adieu babygirl here it is. Its untitled thus far by the way". A/N: I wrote this song so don't anyone report me for using it. Its my own creation

Jessie listened as a smooth, flowing beat came from the speakers. John and Marc moved to the beat a few seconds before John started.

John:
For a long time I felt it wasn't my time.
Felt like a thief that done a crime.
Then this ray of sun came and brightened my day.
Taught me that life was too precious to throw away.
Never forget all you did for me.
Everything you gave to me.
Girl you precious to me and I want you to know.
Daddy's right here he's got no place to go

Chorus:
Oh you know you'll always be daddy's girl.
Always there to bring light to his world.
And I just want you to know one thing.
Girl you my heart and will always be.

As Jessie listened to John rap she felt tears come to her eyes. Her heart constricted happily in her chest. She felt the emotion in his words, his voice. Soon Marc took over the vocals and the tears that Jessie had held back were sliding down her face. She wanted to run up and give him a hug but didn't disturb the performance.

Trademarc:
So I wanna tell you a story right now.
About a boy from a small town.
He did some things and played some games.
And later on in life he found a little fame.
But something was always missing in his life.
Was it money, was it cars, maybe a wife.
The one thing he was missing, Jessie girl it was you.

The chorus had Jessie smiling through her tears at the truthfulness. She WOULD always be daddy's girl.

Chorus:
Oh you know you'll always be daddy's girl.
Always there to bring light to his world.
And I just want you to know one thing.
Girl you my heart and will always be.

As the hook came up Jessie shook her head. John had said that he only did what he could as a dad. Jessie felt that he was the best dad any girl could ever have and she felt special to have him as hers. She felt like the luckiest girl alive.

Hook(John):
I have a little girl who is special to me.
But what I want you all to forever see.
Is that I was never ready to be that dad I had to be.
Never saw things I was meant to see.
But I did what I could.
And I feel it was best.
I feel like I have passed God's test.

Chorus:
Oh you know you'll always be daddy's girl.
Always there to bring light to his world.
And I just want you to know one thing.
Girl you my heart and will always be.

John came over and took Jessie's hand as he started the next verse. He wrapped her arms around his neck and danced with her as he rapped. She looked into his eyes and cried as he sang right to her.

John:
Jessie baby there's something I want you to know.
I never planned or expected the way things were gonna go.
There are things I regret and things I try to forget but babygirl never doubt my love for you.
Jessie baby I wake up in the morning for you.
Knowing all the things I gotta do.
Hope I make a good example for you babygirl.
Daddy wants to give his babygirl the world.
Jessie if you ever want or need me.
Just come up and tell me please don't ever freeze me.
Girlie I want you to know one last thing from me to you.
And that message Jessie Cena is baby I love you.

Chorus(repeated to fade):
Oh you know you'll always be daddy's girl.
Always there to bring light to his world.
And I just want you to know one thing.
Girl you my heart and will always be.

Once the song was over Jessie hugged John tightly and bawled on his shoulder. She mumbled thank you several times through her tears. She pulled back from him and looked for Marc. She saw him and hugged him too, thanking him through her tears. After Jessie had gotten herself under control Randy came over to her again "ok I wanna give you my present now" he said wiping the last remaining tears from her eyes. Jessie looked at him questioningly.

"Wasn't the dance the present?" she asked. Randy shook his head. He lead her over to a part of the room that had a red curtain coming down from the wall. He picked up a mic that had been sitting on the floor and looked at the crowd who was facing them.

"Hi" he said to the crowd "I thought over what to get Jessie for her birthday. I thought and thought and finally it came to me over the radio. You see Jessie is a rocker girl. I know one of her favorite bands is Nickelback too so I called up their manager and tried to score tickets for their concert tomorrow night" he turned toward Jessie "I'm sorry sweetheart but no matter how much I begged. How much I pleaded the dipwit wouldn't give me tickets. I believe his exact words were 'I don't care if you are Randy Orton. God wouldn't get free tickets to this concert'. So I said a few things to him I won't repeat and slammed down the phone" Randy grabbed Jessie's hand, she looked kinda upset "but don't worry Jessie I got you something much better. Walk over and tug on the curtain" Jessie did as he said and the curtain fell away. She looked to where it had been and almost fell over in shock. Standing there was Nickelback. Chad, the lead singer held up a mic, looking at Jessie and said.

"Hey Jessie. See Randy kinda lied a bit. He called our manager and asked for the tickets but Benny is a big wrestling fan. So Benny did Randy one better. He said we'd do a bit of a show for you. Now I talked to your dad a bit a while ago and he told me he all the time hears you singing our songs and I thought you could join us for what John told us was your favorite Nickelback song" Jessie's eyes widened as Randy lead her over to the band. She took the mic Chad was holding as he picked up his guitar and adjusted the mic stand in front of him. As Chad started playing the opening chords of 'Someday' on his guitar, Jessie looked out at the crowd of family and friends that were there. 'This is all too unreal' Jessie thought to herself as Chad's voice started singing.

When Chad finished his verse, he looked over at Jessie, and gave a little nod, to let her know she was to come in on the chorus with him. Biting back the embarassed smile she belted out the chorus.

After the chorus was finished, Jessie took a deep breath, and prepared to sing the next part alone.

Looking out and seeing her dad and Trish, as well as Randy and Alexis standing there watching her, it gave Jessie the confidence to go on. John leaned over to Randy, and said, "That's my babygirl up there man." He said, with a proud smile on his face. Randy just nodded his head in agreement, as they turned their attention back to Jessie who was singing the chorus alone this time.

Chad sang the first line of the chorus by himself with Jessie joining in on the second and finishing out the chorus and the rest of the song with him.

As the song ended Jessie had a big smile on her face. She couldn't believe that she had just sang with Nickelback, her favorite band. She turned to Chad and thanked him for letting her sing with them and for coming to play and went over to where Randy was standing, a huge smile on his face. She ran over to him and hugged him as hard as she could. He stood there with her in his arms smiling wildly that he had made her as happy as he had. "Thank you SO much" Jessie said excitedly. Randy shrugged and told her it was nothing. She smacked him in the gut and turned to John "DADDY!" she squealed "I sang with Nickelback. Did you see me up there? Did you?" John laughed and hugged her to him.

"YES! Babygirl I saw. You were great" Jessie laughed and hugged John back. Jessie stood watching Nickelback perform. They were amazing singing their hits like, Too Bad, How You Remind Me, and Leader of Men. All of a sudden Jessie got an idea. She checked to see that John and the others were not paying attention to her which they weren't and made her way up to the side of the stage. She waited til the band had finished their song and made her way over to Chad. She whispered her idea in his ear and got his approval and a big smile. She went over to the mic and slowly gathered the courage to speak.

"Can I have your attention" Jessie said in a confident voice. The crowd hushed and turned their attention to her "thank you. First I wanna say a big thank you for everyone who came, and to everyone who bought me gifts" Jessie smiled cheekily "and most importantly to the persons who planned and prepared for this party. I want to give a special thanks also to my dad John Cena. When I first came to stay with him I was so uncomfortable seeing as it was someone I had been watching on television. I didn't know what to do or how to act. Plus I had just lost my mom and things were hard, real hard. Although most times I tried not to show it on the outside on the inside I was real torn up. I wouldn't have gotten through it all if it wasn't for him. And I thought of a song that I used to sing when I was a little girl. I used to sing to one of my Ken dolls pretending it was my daddy. But now I can sing this to my real daddy. So daddy will you come up and bring a chair to sit in" she waited as John sprinted to the other side of the room and grabbed a fold up chair, sprinting back and sitting it in front of the band. He sat down and looked at her with a smile. Jessie smiled back and said "daddy this is to you from your babygirl".

Jessie heard the band start the slow tune and took a deep breath. When it came to the right part she started singing, looking right into John's eyes. A/N: OK Im leaving this song in because it needs to stay here. Please no one report me for using it. If you do I'll search each and every one of your fics and the least little bit I can report you for I will

When the sun goes down and it's getting late
You say it's time for bed
She just takes her time
Acting like she never heard a word you said
Little baby wanna hold you tight
She don't ever wanna say good night
She's a lover, she wanna be daddy's girl
When the morning comes
And it's time to go start another day
She won't let you leave, and she does her best
To try to make you stay
Pretty baby gonna start to cry
She don't ever wanna say good bye
She's a lover, she wanna be daddy's girl

Jessie blinked back the tears as she saw John get tears of his own in his eyes. She gulped down the lump in her throat and continued singing.

She don't ever wanna be without you
Never have to worry she won't doubt you
Then she puts her head upon your shoulder
Says she marry you when she get older

When the time has come, and she's old enough
To be on her own
She won't understand why you're feelin' sad
Cause she's leaving you all alone
Little woman gonna make you cry
You don't ever wanna say good bye
She's a lady, she'll always be daddy's girl

Jessie took the mic out of the stand and went down to where John was sat. He had tears openly streaming down his face and his gaze never wavered from her own. She sat in his lap as she sang the rest of the song.

Little woman gonna break your heart
Gonna miss her when you're both apart
She's a lady, but she'll always be daddy's girl

She'll always be daddy's girl
She'll always be daddy's girl
She'll always be daddy's girl
She'll always be daddy's girl
She'll always be daddy's girl
She'll always be daddy's girl

When the song was over John hugged Jessie to him tightly. She hugged him back and could feel his tears hitting her neck she looked around the room and saw most everyone in a similar state as John was. John raised his head and looked at Jessie. "Thank you so much babygirl" he choked out "I love you so much your the best daughter a guy could have" Jessie hugged him tightly. Neither one noticed when everyone else slipped quietly from the room, letting father and daughter have their moment alone.
