Chapter 4: 5 years later
A/N: HOW WAS EVERYONES THANKSGIVING, GOOD, I HOPE? HOW MANY PEOPLE WENT SHOPPING ON BLACK FRIDAY? I DID AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. I GUESS IT'S BECAUSE MY FRIEND AMBER LIKES TO GO, SO I TAG ALONG SO I CAN HAVE SOME TIME WITH HER. ANYWAYS, THANKS TO: JNH'sGirl52886, compassionandcrultey FOR REVIEWING, IT'S GREATLY APPRECIATED. I KNOW I SKIPPED AHEAD A WAYS BUT THIS IS MY FIRST SLASH AND I COULDN'T THINK OF MUCH, SO I JUST SKIPPED AHEAD 5 YEARS :S
Athena had started OVW when she turned 18 (she's 20 now) and she is now signed with WWE, she wanted to be like her dads. Her mom never even called her. Not even to say hi or happy birthday.
Now Athena's current boyfriend is 23, (A/N: IN REALITY HE'S NOT 23 BUT IN HERE HE IS) he was signed to the company a year ago and they have been dating for a couple months. He knew that her dad was Dave but he didn't know that Dave had a boyfriend, so he especially didn't know that it was the man that took him under his wing.
"Man, I think I love her"
"Who are you talking about Ken?" John asked
"Athena. I know she's Dave's daughter and he don't like me. But I'm willing to fight for her" Ken stated
"You must really like her then?" John asked
"Hell ya dude. The only problem is that I haven't broken up with my other girlfriend yet"
John slapped him upside the head "You mean you're two-timing her?"
"I just haven't seen the other one since I got signed" Ken Kennedy defended himself
"So, you can still call her" John yelled
"Ya, but I don't like to do it over the phone like that"
"I don't care, call her now and break up with her. Then you are gonna tell Thena about it, she needs to know" John said, obviously pissed
"Jeez man, why do you care?" Ken asked
"It doesn't matter, its not right Ken"
"OK, OK man. I will" so then Ken did as John said.
Meanwhile…
"Athena honey, I want to show you something" Dave said as he took an engagement ring out of his pocket.
"OMG dad, that's gorgeous. Are you gonna ask him?" Athena was excited
"I wanted to ask you if it was OK first"
"Of course it is dad. You guys make a great couple and you make each other happy. I've been waiting for years for you to ask him" Athena stated
"That's good"
"Have you asked Johnny's dad permission yet?"
"No, I didn't bother. But I called and asked his mom last week and she said it was perfectly fine and not to worry about his dad" Dave explained
"OK, just making sure" Athena said
"I wouldn't do this without asking his parents permission" Dave stated, obviously
"So when are you gonna ask him?" Athena was really excited about it.
"I was thinking about tonight after he wins his title back. Cause it's already a big night for him, now it can be bigger" Dave smiled
"Dad that would be awesome. You should kneel down at gorilla, that way as soon as he comes through the curtain, he'll see you right there. I think it would be perfect"
"That is a great idea. Thank you honey" he hugged her
After John went out for his match, Dave dressed up in his tux and went to gorilla with Athena, Ken and a bunch of others.
"Why is your dad in a tux?" Ken asked
"He's gonna propose" Athena said obviously
"To who?"
"To his boyfriend of the past 6 years" Just then John walks through the curtain and see's Dave down on one knee holding out the ring and John drops to his knees and starts to cry.
"John we've been together for the past 6 years. You're the love of my life. You're the reason I wake up every morning, to see your smiling face. Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?"
Then John kissed Dave like he never had before, I mean Athena's eyes got wide at the sight.
"So is that a yes?" Dave asked
"Of course it is baby. I love you" then everyone cheered for them as John and Dave walked back to their locker room with their arms around each other.
"So John's your dad too?" Ken asked, not sure what to think.
"Ya, my mom kicked me out when I was 14, a couple months after my dad and Johnny got together. And they have been great parents. I am extremely happy for them. You don't have anything against gays, do you?" Athena asked, ready to go on the defense.
"No no no, I just didn't know your dad was gay. I'd say that love knows no gender"
"Good cause I love you and I don't want to ruin our relationship because of that" Athena stated then kissed him.
"I love you too. Now I understand why John was getting mad earlier"
"What are you talking about Kenny?" she was confused
"Well I broke up with a girlfriend"
"OK. Why should I care?"
"Cause I just did it today" Ken felt really bad
"Why?"
"Because I was dating her when I joined the company and I haven't seen her since" Ken explained
"Why didn't you call her Kenny?" Athena was pissed
"I don't like doing that over the phone; I don't think it's very nice"
"But you called her today?" she pointed out
"Ya cause John yelled at me… Athena" Ken yelled down the hall as she walked back to the locker room. She saw Dave and John making out "OK guys, stop that for a second. I need to talk to you" so they stopped; they could tell she was upset.
"What's wrong Thena?" John asked as he sat next to her on the couch and put his arm around her.
"Kenny just told me that he broke up with a girlfriend today" she cried
"See, I told you that boy was no good" Dave said as he got a water bottle out of his bag.
"Baby stop, he's a good guy. You just don't like him cause he's with your daughter" John said to Dave but trying to comfort Athena.
"Well what do you expect me to do, I want what's best for her" Dave commented
"And Ken is. He said he loves her and he knows that you don't like him but he is willing to fight for her. And if someone is willing to fight you for Thena, then I think you should give him a chance" John argued
Dave thought for a minute. "OK, but what about the whole thing, that he just broke up with a chick?"
"He hasn't seen her since he got here and he doesn't like to break up over the phone, I don't either I don't really think it seems right. But I made him do it today" John answered
"Thank you for that Johnny, but why didn't he tell me before?" Athena asked
Dave waited for John to answer but he just shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, but I am gonna find out" Dave said and left the room.
"Baby, come back here" John went chasing after him.
"Guys, don't leave me in here by myself" then Athena went after them.
Dave walked into Ken's locker room and John and Athena stood outside of it, to see if Dave could handle it himself without losing his temper. "Why didn't you tell my daughter that you were dating another chick to begin with, she would have understood?" Dave asked
"Because I didn't think that it would take me this long to break up with the chick. Besides, when I called her she figured it was over cause she had another boyfriend. So it's not like I was cheating on your daughter Sir. I love her, I would never do anything to hurt her and if I did then you and John both can kick my ass" Ken said
"Really?" Dave asked and Ken nodded his head. "Well then I guess that you're OK by me" Dave patted his shoulder and left. Then Ken sighed in relief as Athena came running in and gave him a hug.
