"So babygirl tell me about college" John and Jessie were waiting for the plane to board at the airport. They were alone at the moment since Trish was in the bathroom changing Kevin. Randy had that weekends house shows off so he and Alexis weren't flying in with the twins until Sunday night.
"What about it?" Jessie asked him, she was leaning against him almost asleep. It was 5 am and she wasn't used to getting up so early. Especially since she hadn't gotten to bed until midnight the night before because she had spent the time talking to Trish, her dad, Randy and Alexis.
"Well" John said, laughing lightly at the fact that Jessie was so worn out, especially since he was used to lack of sleep, even moreso since Kevin had been born "how were the classes, did you make any new friends all that jazz".
"The classes were alright for the most part" Jessie mumbled out "except History of Foreign Languages. I thought it would be fun but it was so boring, the teacher would drone on in a monotone voice and use slides all the time. I'm surprised I didn't fail since I fell asleep most of the time. I loved Journalism though, duh right? I majored in it so I should love it. As for friends well my room mate Jenna was cool for the most part, we had the same taste in music. She was a bit wilder than I am though, really out there, and there was this girl in my Communications class Manda I liked her cause we'd get together and watch wrestling. She has the hugest crush on Randy haha. She has one on you too but I'd plug my ears whenever she'd go to say something about you". John laughed pretty hard at this, he had a good idea on how his fans could be with their crushes and all so he knew how hard it had to be for Jessie hearing how hot her father was.
"Anyone give you problems?" John questioned. He couldn't help but ask, and if Jessie said someone did he'd go to Springfield and kick their ass.
"Eh yea" Jessie said almost hesitantly "there was these girls, we called them the Plastics behind their backs after Mean Girls. Their 'leader' was Brittany. She was such a bitch. She hated me from the get go because the first day of school she comes up to me and goes 'I hear you're John Cena's daughter' and I said I was and all and she goes 'Introduce me'. Just says it all demanding and crap like she expects me to bow and agree and I'm like 'no'. So she was like spouting off how I had to because she wanted to be with you and her little 'side kicks' were gonna be with Randy and Mark and all since you all are friends I was like 'he's with Trish dingbat or have you not been watching' she got all red in the face and called Trish a no good slut and all. Well I got really pissed and got in her face and said if I ever heard her disrespecting Trish again I'd kick her sorry behind. She got this shocked look on her face and slinked away, the rest of the year she tried to start rumors about me which no one listened to her because no one liked her and her friends".
"Wow" John said, not believing someone could be so cruel, of course he reasoned that it was college and he remembered running into a few bad eggs himself when he was in college "you should get Trish to kick her ass". Jessie laughed.
"Nah I'll do it myself she's so skinny all I'd have to do is push her and she'd fall over and shatter" John laughed at this even though he knew he shouldn't be since it was really mean, but it wasn't like the girl didn't deserve it from what he could gather. Trish came back with Kevin shortly thereafter and the announcement for their flight was made. John stood up and pulled Jessie to her feet, he had to guide her but the four of them made it on the plane safely.
Hours later Jessie was nervously making her way through the halls of the arena. She was supposed to meet Stephanie so she could get a run down of what her job would be at first and all. She wouldn't officially be starting until the tv tapings but she still needed to be briefed. She finally saw Stephanie standing talking to Jim Ross. She was nervous going up to Stephanie, Jessie didn't know whether or not she would hold a grudge for her husband being fired for what he did to Jessie. Even so Jessie knew she had to talk to her. "Stephanie" she said, approaching the 'billion dollar princess' once J.R. had left "I'm Jessica Cena, John's daughter I'm also on the writing team now. They told me to come talk to you about what all I'm gonna be doing". Stephanie got a wide smile on her face and nodded emphatically.
"Yes" she blurted out, shaking Jessie's hand "I'm so glad you're here. Ok at first all I want you to do is deliver scripts and all for me and answer the questions anyone might have about their parts and all, you should know the answers since you'll be sitting in the meetings and all. Oh and I expect you to take notes for me, I go back and change so much before the final draft for the show, I'm notorious for not having final scripts finished until the last few hours before the show".
"I can do that" Jessie wanted to make a good impression, she was also slightly taken aback since she expected Stephanie to hate her for what happened.
"Not what you expected am I?" Stephanie asked, a small smile on her face.
"Honestly" Jessie said tentatively "no, not really. I expected you to hate me for Paul being fired". To Jessie's surprise Stephanie laughed.
"Between you and me" Stephanie said in a conspiratorial voice "I'm not with him now, that's common knowledge but no one knows that it was over way before that. Our marriage was never really out of love, it was always convenience. I think we both felt that since people saw us together for the storyline we had that they expected us to be together in real life, ya know? Also we just thought it was expected of us to be together so we were. So we dated and eventually got married. I didn't love him though. I love another. In fact I saw my love behind Paul's back. After all of that stuff with you went down it gave me the reason I needed to dump Paul and get with who I truly love".
"Steph" a voice called from a distance. Jessie watched as Kurt Angle walked up and kissed Stephanie deeply. She took the chance to check him out. He was dressed in black jeans that seemed painted on and some old tennis shoes. He was barechested and Jessie almost drooled at the sight of his muscular body. "There you are, I've been looking all over for you".
"I've been right here talking to Jessica" Stephanie motioned to Jessie standing there and Jessie felt a heat flash when Kurt turned his blue eyes on her. He smiled and stuck out his hand for Jessie to shake. She did so and inconspicuously watched his chest muscles move as he moved his arm up and down.
"You're John's daughter" Kurt half stated, half asked. Jessie nodded. "Man I remember you used to run around here, hanging around John, Randy, Maven, Jindrak and Jericho am I right?" Again Jessie nodded. "God you're quiet" Kurt joked "are we sure that you're John's kid".
"Yes baldo" John said coming to stand up beside Jessie, he wrapped his arm around her and kissed her cheek. Jessie saw that he had a big smile on his face 'Lord he's already hyped up for the show' she thought to herself 'I may go hang out with Mark or someone'. "My babygirl is really my daughter, she has my winning personality, she's just really shy". Jessie blushed deeply and socked John on the arm as hard as she could "not to mention she has a wicked punch".
After Jessie had gotten through her meeting with Stephanie, not counting the hindrances from Kurt and John, she went in search of someone. She found them sitting in catering, eating a meal. "Hey" she said in a seductive voice, putting her hands over his eyes "wanna have a good time?"
"Jessica Lynn Cena" Mark said in a serious tone "do you want me to tell your father you're propositioning me?"
"How'd you know it was me?" Jessie asked as she came and sat beside Mark at the table.
"I saw your daddy earlier and he told me you were here" Mark told her as he kept eating "plus I saw a glimpse of you talking to Stephanie earlier too, oh and you may wanna tone down the checking out Kurt if she's around" Mark joked and Jessie turned bright red.
"You saw that?" she asked him, horrified.
"Yep" Mark said "your daddy did too cause he mentioned it to me".
"What'd he say?" Jessie asked him, mentally groaning.
"Not much" Mark told her "just that he saw you kinda drooling over Kurt, he didn't sound too happy about it but he didn't gripe about it either".
"Ugh" Jessie groaned "great I'll probably hear about it now".
"Problems in the Cena clan" Mark asked, confused by Jessie's reaction.
"No, not really" Jessie told him "just that ever since I've been back dad's been kinda all 'my little girl' this 'my babygirl' that and almost acting as if I was still 15 and not 18".
"Well he's not gotten the chance to get used to it yet" Mark tried to reason with Jessie.
"Yeah but he should" Jessie tried to reason her feelings "I mean I had to go from being a 16 year old in college to an 18 year old thrust out into the 'real world' without physical parenting to help me along. I didn't have dad there to make the transition with me and I had to make it on my own, how I am now is how I am and I can't help that. It's not really me who needs to see that, its him". Jessie knew she was being rude but it was how she felt and pretty much how she had felt since being back home.
"I understand" Mark placed a comforting hand on Jessie's shoulder "but just try to be patient with him honey, and talk to him about how you feel, I mean if its that bad".
"I may just be feeling out of sorts" Jessie admitted to Mark "I mean I haven't seen any of you in two years I've changed, you've changed we just need time to feel each other out I guess".
"Hell yeah we've changed" Mark said "we're all married now".
"You're married?" Jessie questioned him. "I didn't know that". Mark's eyes got real wide when he realized what he said.
"I didn't either" a voice said from across the room. Mark's eyes almost bugged out of his head and Jessie noticed sweat pop out on his skin.
"I can explain" Mark said standing up and looking at Alexis who looked like a momma elephant protecting her young.
"You best better be" she said coming up to Mark and smacking him hard on the arm.
"Well Vic and I eloped" Alexis cut off Mark's next words.
"ELOPED" she screamed at him "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ELOPED?"
"Well we wanted a worry free wedding so when we said we were going to Florida last weekend we really went to Vegas and got married" Mark said, looking around for help.
"Hold him" Alexis said to Jessie as she stepped out of her shoes. Mark tried to make a break for it but Jessie tackled him to the ground. He struggled as she held his arms down and Alexis smacked him over and over. He tried to roll away from the blows but it did no good. "I can't believe you, you little dipweed. I can't believe you got married and didn't have me at the wedding, you got married by a freaking Elvis impersonator".
"Actually it was just a regular priest" Mark tried to joke but was cut off as Alexis popped him in the jaw.
"What's going on?" a voice called out, it was John and Maven. John dragged Alexis off of Mark as Maven helped Jessie stand up.
"Well my thick headed brother got married and didn't tell me" Alexis stated as if it were the most ludicrous thing in the world.
"Oh shit dawg" John said to Mark "I suggest you run, cause I don't blame Sexi Lexi for kicking your ass". Mark took no time in high tailing it out of the room. Alexis screamed after him that she knew where he lived.
"Hi" Jessie said to Maven after everything had calmed down. He smiled and hugged her to him. The four stood around talking a bit then the show was over. Jessie walked with John back to his locker room and they along with Trish and Kevin left back to their hotel room.
