John got back home and didn't see Torrie so he knew that they were still shopping. He kicked off his shoes and started watching TV when Torrie came in.

"hey John." Torrie said while putting down Crystal's bags and sat down next to John with Crystal playing with her new toy on Torrie's lap.

"wow you can really shop." John said looking at the bags.

"some of the clothes are for Crystal." Torrie said with a smile.

"oh no my daughter is going to be a shop alcoholic." John said putting his head in his hands.

"oh shut up." Torrie said playfully hitting John on the shoulder.

"well I guess Crystal is having her nap now." John said seeing Crystal sleeping.

"oh could I put Crystal in her crib?" Torrie asked.

"sure."

Torrie smiled and picked Crystal up from her lap then started walking upstairs to Crystal's room. She smiled as she lied Crystal down in her crib and turned on the baby monitor before going back downstairs.

"well I guess I should call Mickie so I can go." Torrie said.

"okay, you can use the phone in the kitchen." John said.

Torrie gave John a smile before going in the kitchen and called Mickie.

"hello."

"hey Mickie can you pick me up, I'm at John's house."

"sure, I'll be right there."

"alright thanks Mickie." Torrie said hanging up.

Torrie turned around and bumped right into John. They were now closer then ever and tension was building in the air around them. Their lips were now inches apart and they were about to kiss until they heard a honking horn.

"um that's Mickie." Torrie said back away from John then grabbed her bags before leaving.

John sighed and sat down on one of the chairs in the kitchen. John then got his mail and found a letter from a court. He opened it confused and read though it.

"That damn little bitch." John said throwing the letter down on the kitchen counter.

John leaned on the counter feeling like he couldn't feel his legs and buried his head in his heads feeling tears fall from his eyes. How could a woman that left her daughter ask for custody of her. John wasn't going to let Elizabeth get custody, she didn't deserve a sweet angel like Crystal Cena as a daughter. He then wiped his tears and went up to Crystal's room since she started crying.

"it's okay daddy's got you." John whispered while holding his daughter close to his chest.

One week later John was at the arena just staring at Crystal while she was playing with her bear. Shawn then came in.

"hey man." Shawn said.

"hey." John said barely above a whisper.

"when's the court day?" Shawn asked being the only one who knew about the custody battle.

"couple weeks." John said looking down.

"man it's going to be okay, your not going to lose her."

"I need to walk around the arena." John said standing up.

"I'll watch Crystal." Shawn said sitting on the floor with Crystal and started playing with her.

John started walking down the hall and found a table. He sat down on it and rested his head on the wall and closed his eyes trying to think.

Torrie was walking down the hall in a black dress and sliver boots with her hair curly. She saw John and went up to him.

"John." Torrie said putting a hand on his shoulder to get his attention.

John opened his eyes to see Torrie looking gorgeous as usual and brought a small smile to his face.

"hey."

"are you okay?" Torrie asked sitting next to him on the table.

John didn't answer he just looked down at his hands.

"John what's wrong?" Torrie asked worried and gently rubbed his back showing that she was there for him.

"I have to go into court in a couple of weeks to fight for custody of Crystal against Elizabeth."

"that little bitch." Torrie said then looked at John seeing he was about to just break down over the thought have possibly losing his baby girl.

Torrie took John's hands and looked in his eyes.

"John she's not going to win the battle."

"how do you know?" John asked as tears started to fall.

"because John you didn't abandon Crystal, you're the better parent." Torrie said.

"and how is that going to help me?"

"everything will be fine John you just have to believe it will be." Torrie said giving John a hug.

John didn't speak he just held onto Torrie and let more tears fall as he thought about Crystal, his loving baby girl.

"it's going to be okay." Torrie said letting tears fall from her eyes also.
