Ch.8 April equals Ashtyn

John won his title back at Royal Rumble andhad been pretty busy trying to keep it. He found out that Triple H was the number one contender for Wrestlemania22 and he worked his ass off to get in the best shape possible. He'd spend hours at the gym working out and then come home and work out some more.

Ally was getting closer to her due date, so she stopped traveling with him. In between working out and prepping for WM22, John attended birthing classes with Ally. Everything they showed grossed him out. He was not ready to be in the delivery room with her, but he was going to.

Ally stayed home and started setting up the baby's room. The Divas had thrown her a huge baby shower and John's dad, who was quite fond of Ally, helped her put everything together while John focused on Wrestlemania22.

The day before WM22, Ally flew out to Chicago and went with John to the Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The next day she attended Wrestlemania22. She was elated when John beat Triple H 'coz she knew how much it meant to him and how hard he worked for it. Unfortunately, she wasn't staying around to celebrate. She caught a plane that night and went back to West Newbury. John finally got some time off for Easter so he headed home to spend it with his family. John's dad, his brothers, and his cousin, Marc, were sitting in the backyard having drinks and talking about Easter dinner.

John's dad laid out the plan."We'll cook and everything tomorrow so that on Sunday, John's not rushing around. He can just get on his plane and go."

"Sounds like a plan to me. So who's cooking?" Marc looked around.

Ally raised her hand. "I'll do some of it. Just tell me what to make and I will."

John shook his head. "I dunno. You've been doing too much. You need to rest. I'll cook." The group started laughing. John frowned. "What? I can throw down in the kitchen."

Ally nodded. "We know. You can throw down the burning pans, the burnt rolls, what else can you throw down?"

Marc piped in. "Whatever it is, let's all agree that John need not be in the kitchen. We wanna eat the food, not use it for charcoal."

John frowned. "Whatever. You guys are just jealous ya can't do it like me."

Ally stood up. "I'm going to get my boots on before this gets too thick. Anyone want anything else to drink?" The guys shook their heads as Ally walked inside. She was standing by the sink when she felt a sharp pain shoot through her abdomen. She dropped her glass and let out a loud shriek. John and everyone else ran inside to see her hunched over in pain.

John pulled her away from the broken glass. "Are you okay? What happened?"

"Something's wrong with the baby. It hurts." John immediately picked her up and carried her out to the car. He put her in and drove off to the hospital. His dad and his brothers and Marc piled into their cars and followed.

At the hospital, Ally was quickly admitted and placed on monitors. An hour into her 'stay' her water broke. The nurse told John and his family that labor could take up to 24 hours. John went back to the house to get Ally's suitcase and a few other things. He also called to let everyone know that Ally was having her baby. By the time he got back Ally was almost ready to have the baby. He quickly scrubbed up and took his place behind her.

The nurse smiled. "I'm going to get Dr. Grady and escort the rest of your group out of the room." The nurse kindly led everyone out of the room and paged the doctor over the intercom.

Dr. Grady walked in and looked at Ally. "So it seems we're3 weeks early. Let's how you're doing." He peeked under the sheet and then motioned for his nurses to hold Ally's legs. "Okay Ally I need you to give a good hard push. You're baby's crowning, but needs a little help to get. I want you to push on the count of three. Ready. 1-2-3, push."

Ally grimaced in pain as she pushed. John held her hand and reminded her to breathe. Dr. Grady counted off another 3 count and Ally kept pushing. It hurt like hell, but it was worth it.

Dr. Grady smiled and held up the baby. "Congratulations. It's a girl." The nurses quickly cleaned the baby off and then laid the baby across Ally's heaving chest. John sat teary eyed as he watched Ally hold her daughter for the first time. Ally looked up at him and smiled.

"She's…perfect. Oh my goodness, she's so tiny and perfect. She's got ten toes and ten tiny fingers." Ally kissed the baby's forehead and then leaned back against John. "Do you wanna hold her?" John nodded and Ally placed the baby in his arms.

Tears fell from his eyes as he looked at her. He was amazed at how something so small could have such a huge impact. John noticed Ally staring at him and he smiled. "She's beautiful…just like you."

The nurse looked at John and Ally. "Have you two decided on a name?"

Ally looked at John. "What are we going to name her?"

John shrugged. "I dunno. I kinda like the name Ashtyn, but I don't know about a middle name."

"I know her middle name. It's Izellah. It means princess 'coz that is what she is. So her name is Ashtyn Izellah."

John handed the baby back to the nurse. She took the little girl to check he vitals. While they were gone John turned and looked at Ally. "What about her last name?"

Ally shrugged. "I haven't decided yet."

John took a deep breath. "How about Cena?" John reached in his pocket and pulled out a black velvet box. "I think we should all have the same last name. What do you think?"

Ally was in shock. "Are…are you asking me…"

"Alysa Jocelyn Strahm, will you marry me?"

Ally nodded and cried into John's shoulder as he slipped the ring on her finger. Ally looked at the ring and nearly choked. The center stone was a 5-carat teardrop shaped blue diamond with two 1-carat heart-shaped diamond side stones.

"Wow, this is amazing. You've given me the best gift ever. I love you."

John smiled. "I love you too." He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight until the nurse brought Ashtyn back.

"Okay, mom and dad. Who gets to hold her first?"

Ally looked at John. "Her dad." John grinned as the nurse placed Ash back in his arms.

The nurse walked over to the door and smiled. There was a huge crowd gathered at the door. "There are a lot of people outside waiting to get in. Do you want me to let them through?" John and Ally nodded as the nurse propped the door open.

John's family, Randy and Stacy, Trish and Jeff, Ashley and Matt and a few other superstars piled into the room to look at the new baby. John walked over to his dad and smiled. "We named her Ashtyn Izellah Cena." His dad smiled in approval.

John cleared his throat. "Excuse me, but I have an announcement to make." He grabbed Ally's hand and smiled. "Ally and I are getting married." Everyone hugged and congratulated the couple before focusing their attention on the little girl who was cooing in approval.
