"Did I really need to get them an engagement gift?" Lita asked as she got out of the car and made her way into the restaurant with Trish and Jeff for John and Maria's engagement party that their respective best-friends were throwing. Their parents were supposed to be co-hosts but both Candice and Randy told them there was no need for that, all they had to do was show up, make a toast for the couple, and enjoy themselves.

"Yes. Now keep quiet before the someone over hears you." Trish said from beside Lita.

"Let them. I don't care. Why couldn't I be put on bed rest or something? Dr. Moretti said I had to take it easy, but yet I can come to this damn party."

"Don't say that. Look, we're here, try to enjoy yourself."

"Not gonna happen," Lita said as they entered the restaurant.

"Why not?" Jeff asked. Lita didn't even realize nor care that he was with them and could hear everything she was saying. "He's one of your best-friends. Shouldn't you be happy for him?"

"I am." No I'm not. "But I don't like bride to be or her whore of a best-friend."

"Seriously Lili," Trish started to say, looking around to make sure no one was near them to hear the red-head. "Keep your voice down. The wrong person could hear you."

"Hi! I'm so glad you guys could make it." Maria said as her and John greeted the three who just entered. Lita fought the urge to roll her eyes.

"Yea, we're happy to be here too. Congratulations," Trish smiled at the couple.

"Yea we're really happy for you two." No we're not. At least, I'm not. And if Trish truly is my best-friend, she's not either. "Maria you look absolutely beautiful." No she doesn't. Actually, she does. Shut up. Just keep quiet. I'm going crazy. Talking to myself. Ugh.

"Thanks Li, you look so cute. You're such a cute pregnant woman."

She needs to stop calling me Li before I slap her, "Thanks."

"What about me? Does anyone want to say anythin' about how good lookin' I am?"

Lita rolled her eyes. "You wish Cena." You look so damn gorgeous. You'll look even better if you take your shirt off. Oh my God. No! Shut up!

"Don't listen to her John. You look handsome," Trish replied.

"I know," John said with a cocky grin on his face.

"Lita! You're here! It's so nice seeing you!" Candice said with a fake smile on her face which made Lita want to slap her again, possibly just beat the crap out of her. I wish I could say the same, not really, Lita thought but simply returned a fake smile of her own. "You look so cute with your little belly. Oh, no. Sorry. Your huge belly. You're so big." Candice probably chose that time to make a dig at the pregnant woman because both John and Maria excused themselves to greet some other guests who just arrived.

"That tends to happen when you're pregnant." Trish replied for her friend.

"Yea but she's more huge than a typical pregnant woman."

"She's having twins, so that's expected."

"But not as huge as she is."

"You know what-"

"Okay. Let's um, let's go mingle or something," Jeff interrupted his girlfriend, sensing tension between the three women.

"I hate that bitch," Trish said quietly, but not too quietly that the two she was talking to couldn't hear her.

"Thanks for that Trish. I was so close to slapping her again. Actually, no. This time I would've punched her and broke that nose of hers she paid so much for."

Jeff chuckled. "Wow, you both really don't like her."

"Duh." The other two said in unison.

"Oh, I see John's parents. Let's go say hi and pretend how happy we are for their son," Lita said with an annoyed tone, leading the way with the other two following.

"Okay, what's wrong with her?" Jeff whispered to his girlfriend as they slowed down a bit.

"She really doesn't like Maria," Trish whispered back after making sure no one was paying them any attention.

"Why not?"

Trish sighed. "It's complicated." Jeff merely nodded knowing they probably shouldn't be talking about this at this time. He just wanted to know why Lita was acting like she wanted to be anywhere but there. But when Trish said 'it's complicated', he realized this wasn't the place or time to be having this conversation.

They finally caught up with Lita who was talking to John's mom, Carol. "Five weeks is a long time," Carol said referring to Lita's due date.

"You're telling me. I just wish I could give birth already."

John Sr. chuckled. "That's how Carol felt with all her pregnancies."

"I don't know how you did it. I am not having any more kids. I'm lucky I'm getting two out of this, and one of each. That's enough."

"You are taking care of yourself, right? Taking your vitamins on time, drinking enough water, getting plenty of rest-"

"Yes." Lita interrupted before she could finish. "Don't worry, I am doing everything the doctor has told me."

"Trish," Carol said turning her attention to the blonde, "is she telling the truth?"

Trish nodded smiling at how much Carol cared for Lita, and it wasn't just for the fact she was carrying her grand-babies, she was always this way with the red-head. "Yes. And you know if she's not, she doesn't get away with it. She has her brother up on her case all the time as well as John, obviously."

"Speaking of," Carol said turning her attention back to Lita, "is your brother here?"

Lita shook her head, "No. Dave and Victoria are visiting her dad in California. Victoria hasn't visited him much since he moved there after her mom passed away."

"Oh. Well that's good she's spending time with him." Lita nodded in agreement.

"If you would excuse me, your grand-babies are playing with my bladder. They think it's a toy."

"Alright sweety, we'll see you later then." John's parents left.

"We'll just wait for you right over there then," Trish said gesturing at a nearby table. Lita simply nodded as she made her way to the bathroom for what she thought would be the first of million times for next two hours. She just hoped the bathroom was clean, but as seeing how nice this restaurant was, she would be shocked to see the bathroom dirty.

Lita was about to leave the bathroom stall she was occupying until she heard two voices from outside the stall probably occupying the sink area.

"Maria, are you really sure about marrying John?" She heard a voice say which she couldn't figure out, but the next words Maria said told her who the owner of the voice was.

"Yes mom. If I wasn't sure, then I wouldn't have had said 'yes' to him."

"But he's about to be a father with another woman's babies."

"It's not like they're having these kids out of love," Maria said not realizing how much those words hurt Lita, but how would she know? She didn't know Lita was listening in one of the stalls. "She asked him to help her because she wants kids and she didn't know if she would have a chance before it was too late, especially since she's not in a relationship and she's not getting any younger."

"I understand that. But what about your relationship with John? He's probably going to spend a lot of time with his kids as well as their mother. What if he starts developing feelings for her and forgets all about you when he's always going to be around her?"

"They have been best-friends ever since John and his family moved down here since he was six, if he doesn't feel anything for her, I'm sure it's not going to happen now." Once again, Maria had no clue how her words were effecting Lita, who was getting annoyed by this conversation so she decided to make her presence known.

She got out of the stall and walked towards the sink, turning on the faucet and washing her hands, then looking up at the shocked mother-daughter duo. "You know, I couldn't help but to hear what you were talking about since I was kind of in one of the stalls, but Maria is right. There's nothing going on between me and John. There never was, and there never will be. He's just one of my closest friends who I asked for help which he obviously did. You have nothing to worry about. He loves Maria. I know he's not stupid to ruin that." He's actually stupid enough to marry her.

Maria's mom smiled at her. "Sorry you heard that. But I'm her mother, I worry. You'll understand soon." Lita nodded returning the smiling and then leaving the duo by themselves in the bathroom. She only been here for about half an hour and she hated it already. She just wanted to leave but knew she couldn't. Maybe she could pretend she was getting sick or something then she could leave. She did have a headache, she could just use that as an excuse. But she knew she couldn't do that, John would worry as well as his parents who were also there and she didn't want that to happen. She hated this. It sucked.

Lita tried her hardest not to roll her eyes or make any kind of gesture during Maria's parents toast to the couple, more specifically, their daughter. It sickened her. She hated this. They said how happy they were for their daughter, obviously. They were happy for both her and John. They were excited for this new journey the two were going to embark on. Lita just wanted to throw something. And now, it was John's turn. Trish hoped Lita wouldn't do anything, she saw how hard Lita was restraining herself from making any sort of comment or gesture during the first toast.

John was standing up in front of everyone so he could start his toast. "Well, I want to thank you all for joining us for this joyous occasion. I'm a bit surprised as many of you must be. I never thought I would be the kind of guy to get married, but I guess all that changed when I met Maria." He smiled as he turned to look at his wife to be before he returned his attention to addressing the guests. "I was happy with my bachelor life, but Maria changed that." Lita couldn't help it now, she was now clenching her fists at her side. He wasn't supposed to be talking about Maria in this way, it was supposed to be her he was talking about. "My life is better and fuller with her in it and she has made me a better person. I don't want to miss out on being the luckiest and happiest man in the world. So about three weeks ago, I begged her to be my wife. I guess she's crazy enough and she said 'yes'. I couldn't be anymore excited. So, if you could, please join me in raising your glass to the future Mrs. John Cena." Lita felt her heart breaking into little pieces. She tried her best to hold herself together, she wanted nothing more to just run out of there and cry. She wanted to get the hell out of there as fast as she could. Trish looked over at her friend and saw how she looked like she was trying really hard not to have a break down. She felt so horrible for her, she wished there was something she could do for Lita, but she knew there wasn't. The only person who could actually help Lita in someway was the one who was the most oblivious to everything.

They sat through some other toasts from Maria, Randy, Candice, and one of John's brothers as well as Maria's cousin. Candice looked over at Lita and then got a great idea, at least she thought it was a great idea. She smirked before calling Lita out in front of everyone present. "Lita, we all know how close you and John are, don't you want to say a few words to the engaged couple?"

I'm going to kill this bitch. "No, I um... I didn't prepare anything, so I don't think that would be a good idea."

"Come on Lita. You're one of his closest friends. I know you have something to say to him. It's okay if you don't have anything prepared. Just speak from your heart. I'm sure all of us would love to hear what you have to say. You know, from your heart." Her smirk widened even more.

"Yea Li, it doesn't matter if you didn't prepare anything. I would love it if you made a toast," John said trying to convince her.

"Um... fine." She finally agreed knowing Candice was a bitch who wouldn't let this go until she actually said a few words. Now she had to get up in front of everyone and lie about how happy she was for the two when she really wasn't, not even close. She made her way to the front so she could give her heartfelt speech. Yea right. She stopped for a brief second when she felt her headache getting worse. She felt a little dizzy for a brief moment, but didn't think anything of it. "Um, well, I didn't really prepare anything so I don't really know what to say. Um, well, I have known John ever since we were six when he moved down to Atlanta with his family. I have never seen him as happy as he is with Maria in all the years I have known him. I didn't really like her when I met her." Maybe I shouldn't have said that. Oh well. I mean, I still don't like her now too. "But I have seen how happy Maria makes him," He should be happy with me. "So that makes her pretty okay in my book." No it doesn't. It just makes me hate her even more. "I just want to congratulate the two of you," Lita said forcing herself to smile at the two who were smiling back at her. "I'm really happy for you," No I'm not. "The two of you are lucky to have found one another." Are people actually believing this crap? "So once again, congratulations." She felt the wave of dizziness coming back to her which made her grab her head and she tried to find a nearby chair or something to sit on, but she couldn't find anything. "Oh my God," she whispered to herself. "What's happening to me?" She slid down to the floor, she couldn't stand up any longer. She started to clutch at her belly as she felt pain on her right side right below her ribs. She didn't know what was going on, all she knew was that she was scared.

"Li," John started to say going up to her sitting down beside her, clearly worried, "What's wrong?"

She shook her head. "I don't know. I have a huge headache."

"For how long?"

"I don't know. A couple of hours but it's been on going for like a week, on and off."

"Why are you just telling me this now?"

"I didn't think it was a big deal."

"Okay, well, it is a big deal. You should have told me. What else is wrong?"

"I feel dizzy and my belly hurts."

"Is your dizziness getting better now that you sat down?"

"A little."

"Lita honey, here, drink some water," Carol said handing her a glass of water which she took and drank a sip of, then immediately handing it back to Carol.

"I'm scared," Lita said looking up at John with a look of worry and fear. He had the same look in his eyes but he tried to be strong for her. He didn't want to freak her out anymore than she already was.

"I know," he said squeezing her hands. "Let's get to you to the hospital okay."

She nodded. "I'm sorry," she said turning her attention to Maria who was now near the two.

"Why?" She asked confused.

"For ruining your party."

"Don't be silly. Your and your babies health is more important than a party." Either Maria changed or she wasn't that bad after all, but that still didn't change the way Lita felt about her.

She nodded and then she tried to get up with John telling her she shouldn't try that just yet and they would just call an ambulance, but she was stubborn and didn't listen. She immediately regretted it as she became really dizzy again. She tried to sit back down on the floor, but she was too late; everything went black for her. She would have fallen f it weren't for the fact that John was right next to her to stop her from falling hard to the floor.

"Damn it," John whispered as he slid down on the floor, carefully taking Lita down with him, trying not to hurt her. "Someone please call an ambulance now!" He plead to those around him. He didn't know what he was supposed to do. He didn't know what was going to happen now. He was terrified for Lita and the babies.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for the reviews. Special thanks to AngelsDestiny22, therealchamps, alliewash17, my time is now, and xHalesMariex.

Wow. Some of you have some harsh words for John. He's not that bad, just a clueless idiot.
