Twenty years had passed. Emma was a very successful author. She'd written twenty-five books. She would see John on TV from time to time. She was happy that he achieved his dream of being a WWE Superstar. She flew to Seattle to visit her parents. She was in a coffee shop drinking coffee and looking at her phone. She felt someone tap her on the shoulder. When she looked up she almost spilled her coffee.

"John." She said shocked. "I can't believe it." She stood up. They hugged.

"I thought that was you." "How are you Emma?"

"Good." "How's Nikki?"

"You watch Total Divas huh?"

"Sometimes."

"She's fine."

"Good."

"I'm in town for an autograph signing today." "Can we have dinner tonight to catch up?"

"Yeah sure." "Do you wanna meet there?"

"I'll pick you up."

"I'm staying at Hilton on Main Street."

"Me to." "Is nine good for you?"

"Yeah I'm in 607."

"604." "So I shouldn't be late."

"I would hope not."

"See you tonight."

"Ok bye."

"Bye."

Emma went to her parents' house.

"Hi Emma." Penny said.

"Hi mom." They hugged. "Where's dad?"

"The hardware store."

"Doesn't he ever take a break?"

"You know your dad."

"You'll never believe who I saw on the way over here."

"Who?"

"John Cena."

"Really?" "How is he?"

"Good." "We're meeting for dinner tonight?"

"That's great." "You haven't really dated since your divorce."

"It's just be catch up." "He has a girlfriend."

"Did you tell him?"

"No." "That's not just something you bring up chatting." "Oh hey John I know we haven't seen each other in twenty years." "I can't have children." "Would you like to know why?"

"Emma I know you like to bury it but-

"But nothing." "It was twenty years ago." "It happened." "It's over."

Later that night John text Emma to let her know he was outside the door. She answered it.

"Hi." She said.

"Hi." "Ready?"

"Yeah."

They went to a restaurant.

"So you live in New York City?" John said.

"Yep that's where I met my ex-husband."

"You were married?"

"Six years."

"What happened?"

"He was cheating on me."

"Do you have any children?

"No."

John noticed a sad look on her face. "Is it something I said?"

"It's just- I can't have children."

"Oh I'm sorry."

"I don't like to talk about it."

"We don't have to."

"No, we should." "One day I started to feel really sick, really bad cramping, high fever so I went to the hospital." "The doctors did all kinds of tests including a pelvic exam." "When the results for that came back the doctor told me I was two months pregnant but that the baby had died in my womb." "I had no clue I was pregnant."

"Oh my god."

"The doctor had to do a procedure to clean my womb and after she did she told me I sustained to much damage to ever conceive again."

"I'm so sorry that happened to you."

"It happened a week before my seventeenth birthday." "Two months after we moved."

"Wait?" John said starting to get it. "It was…I was the…we were…

"Yes." "We were going to have a baby."

"When did that even happened?"

"I'm guessing the night before we moved and I snuck you up to my room." "Remember the condom broke?"

"Yeah."

"I found out later you have to take birth control for a whole month before they start working."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"That's not something you tell someone over the phone or in a letter."

"I still would've liked to have known you were pregnant with our child."

"I'm sorry but you know now and I'm glad." "I've wanted to tell you for a long time." "I hate that it still makes me this upset." "I mean I only knew about the baby for ten minutes before they…She got tears in her eyes.

"Hey, it's ok." John grabbed her hand. With her other she wiped her eyes.

"This is why I don't like to talk about this."

"You wanted it didn't you?"

"Of course it was my baby." "I thought at the time that if it had lived I would've had a part of you forever."

John walked Emma back to her room.

"I had fun tonight." He said.

"When I was a crying mess?"

"I'm glad you told me." "I really liked your first series of books."

"You read them?"

"Yeah." "The character Shawn Carlie reminded me a lot of someone."

"Well I did model him after someone."

"He really seemed to love Amanda Hart."

"He did."

"I especially liked the part at the end of the first book when Shawn told Amanda." "Never forget that I love you."

"Sounded familiar huh?"

"Very."

"Well it was so great to see you again."

"Great to see you to." "If I didn't know it was twenty years later I'd never guess." "You're still as beautiful as the day I met you." They hugged. He looked at her but was still hanging on to her. "If you would've had the baby, you would've had me to." John's cell phone started to ring. "That's my phone." He said letting her go. "I gotta go."

"Bye."

"Bye."
