A/N: THANKS TO: JNH'sGirl52886, compassionandcrultey, angel4benoit FOR REVIEWING, I'M GLAD YOU GUYS ARE LIKING IT :D
A couple months later…
"Mom, have you seen my Happy Tree Friends sweater that Johnny got me?" Athena had looked all around the house.
"Yeah, I threw it away" Angie simply answered
"But mom, that was my favorite sweater. Why did you throw it away?" Athena was ticked
"Because it's from your fathers' boyfriend"
"So, what's wrong with him? What do you have against him?"
"He took your father away from us"
"No he didn't mom!" she yelled
"Did you just yell at me?" Angie was appalled
"Yes I did mom. Johnny didn't take dad away. You were feeding me a bunch of bullshit" then Angie slapped her across the face.
All Athena did was look at her mom, hold her cheek, then continue with what she was saying. "Even I could tell that you and dad were having problems way before John. Besides, just because you don't like dads new life doesn't mean I can't" Athena yelled
"Get out!" Angie yelled
"But mom, I'm only 14" she argued
"Then go live with your dad and Johnny" Angie mocked
"Fine, I will" Athena knew that John was closer to the house than what her dad was, so she called him crying "Johnny, can you come get me?"
"Honey, what's wrong?" John was concerned
"Mom kicked me out"
"OK, we can talk about it later. I'll be there in a couple hours. Will you be OK till then?"
"Ya, I'll just get all of my stuff around"
When John gets there, he knocks on the door and Angie answers it: "What the hell are you doing here?" she asked
"I'm here to get Athena" John answered
"You have no right to. You're not one of her parents"
"Well apparently I'm more of a parent to her right now than what you are"
"And how do you figure that?" Angie crossed her arms, still not letting John in the house.
"Because she called me, cause she knew her dad was too far away, to come get her cause her mother kicked her out. And without hesitation, I flew over 200 miles to get her" then he pushed his way past her into the house. "Thena honey, I'm here" John walked up the stairs to her room.
"Johnny" she shouted and ran to give him a hug.
"You got everything?" he asked her
"Ya, except for the sweater you gave me"
"Where is it?"
"Mom threw it away. She told me she didn't want me excepting anything from my fathers boyfriend because you took my dad away and I defended you cause I know it's not true. So she kicked me out cause I yelled at her"
"It's OK honey; I'll get you a new one. We gotta tell your dad about this cause she told me I had no right to take you, so she could possibly call the cops"
"She wouldn't do that" Athena said as they walked down the stairs and there they saw cops "Or maybe she would"
"Mr. Cena, what are you doing with this young lady?" one of the cops asked him.
"Officer, Athena; this young lady, called me to come get her. Because her mother kicked her out" John answered
"Sir, why would I kick my 14 year old daughter out of the house?" Angie asked
"I don't know. Athena, why did your mom kick you out?" another officer asked
"Basically because my dad ended up leaving her for a guy" then Angie reached out and slapped her daughter. Then the cops held Angie back.
"OK Mrs.Bautista, we've seen enough. Athena, is this your dad's boyfriend?"
"Yes sir, it is" Athena answered
"Why didn't you call your dad?"
"Because he's too far away. Plus, he's at work right now"
"OK, you guys are allowed to leave"
"Thank you officer" John said then they left.
"Thanks for coming to get me Johnny"
"No problem Thena, anytime"
"Didn't you have a show today though?" Athena asked
"Just a house show, I told Vince that I had a family emergency. No biggie. You wanna go see your dad?" John asked
"Actually I just wanna spend some time with you"
"Cool, cool. You wanna go shopping?" John offered
"Ya, can we?" she said excitedly "But I don't have any money"
"Thena baby, I'm the WWE champ. I have some money, don't worry about it"
"OK, let's go to the mall"
"To the mall it is" John smiled, he was a guy but he had to admit; he did like shopping. There were a couple stores that they made sure to stop at cause Athena said that you can't go to a mall without stopping at these stores: Hot Topic, Spencer's and Borders. John got her something from each of those stores. She figured that since she would be around the business more often now, then at Borders he got her 'WWE Unscripted' and the autobiographies of; Eddie, Shawn Michaels, Edge, Trips, Lita, Hardy Boyz, Hogan, Stone Cold and the ones that Foley wrote. Also the new Stephen King book 'Lisey's Story'. At Hot Topic he got her a black purse and a bunch of pins to put on it. And at Spencer's she picked out 2 shirts, one with John and the other with Dave.
"Johnny, you didn't have to get me all of this stuff" Athena said
"But I wanted to. I was planning on taking you on a little shopping spree like this anyways and we had the time today so why not?"
"OK, now I don't feel as bad"
"So Thena, what would you classify yourself as? Like, I'm hip-hop/gangster I guess" John asked, wanting to get to know her more.
"Well I wear baggy pants; my favorite colors are black and blue; I listen to rock music and the only color I paint my nails is black. I wouldn't say gothic or punk rock; I would say somewhere in between. But if I had to choose one, I would say punk rock"
"OK, have you ever thought about getting a tattoo?"
"Oh ya, I like the sleeve tattoo's. So eventually I want tattoos all up and down my arms"
"I think that would be cool. You wanna come with me, I wanna get one. I know someone that is an awesome tattooist"
"Only if you let me get one too. Since you said you know the guy, then he won't ask questions" she tried to persuade him.
"I don't know Thena" John was a little weary about it.
"Daddy will be OK with it. I know he will"
"If you say so. What do you wanna get?" John caved after a couple minutes.
"I want daddy's sign. You know, the 'B' thing"
"Same here, but since we can't expose our relationship to the fans then I can't put it on my chest, you know over my heart, like I want to" John stated
"Put it on your butt"
"Seriously?" John thought she was kidding
"Ya, you have a cute butt" John looked at her with that 'excuse me' look. "What? I've seen 'Word Life' remember you walked around in a funky afro, gold shoes and a banana hammock"
"Ya, well" John was speechless
"You don't have to be embarrassed around me. I will do stuff like that all the time. I think it's funny"
"Well then be that way" John laughed
"Oh don't worry, I will" she smiled
They got their tattoos and went to show Dave.
"Hey daddy I got a tattoo" Athena said a couple hours later as they walked into his locker room.
"John" Dave looked mad
"Don't get mad at him. I said that you would let me because you always said I could. Besides it's your sign" Athena said as she pulled up her sleeve to show him.
"I did say that. That tat it kick-ass though" Dave commented, looking at it
"Johnny got one just like it" Athena laughed
"Oh did he?" Dave looked at John, then John blushed a little.
"Ya but since you two can't expose your relationship to the fans, he had to get it in a place that they wouldn't see it"
"And where is that?" Dave asked, knowing where it was.
"Oh wouldn't you like to know?" she smiled
"No, I would like to see it" Dave said with that sly smile.
"Dad, I didn't like to hear about that around you and mom and I still don't want to hear about it around you two"
"OK sorry honey. I'll see it later" Dave smiled at John, who smiled back. "Wait a minute, what are you guys doing here anyways?" Dave asked, distracted cause he hadn't seen his daughter or boyfriend for a while, he was just happy to see them.
"Angie kicked her out cause she defended me pretty much. But not before she called the cops on me. But they still let us go cause Angie slapped Thena" John explained
"She slapped you?" Dave was obviously mad
"Actually that was the second time. The first was cause I yelled at her and the second one in front of the cops was cause I said that basically you left her for a man" she answered
"OK that's funny but she is still your mom, no matter how much you disagree with her. How long are you staying with us?" Dave asked
"I guess when or if mom calls, I doubt she will though. But I want to move in with you guys, is that OK?"
"Of course it is honey. But we're hardly home, so do you mind traveling with us and being home schooled?" Dave asked
"Oh that's fine. I never really liked regular school anyways"
"So it's set then. You'll start school next week and this weekend we'll get everything moved into our house" Dave hugged her
"OK Daddy"
