Chapter 8
"Can I help you?" John asked.
"We want to see our daughter." Daniel answered.
"She doesn't want to see you right now. You have done nothing more than upset her since the day you found out about us and the baby." John responded.
"You cannot keep us from our daughter." Daniel snapped.
"Katie, do you want to see your parents?" John asked.
"No. I really don't. I am happy here and I can't wait to have our baby and get married." Katie answered from the living room.
"Katie, you don't know what you are doing. You can do better." Lisa stated.
"I can do better? John is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love him and our daughter. Now leave us alone." Katie snapped.
"You heard her. Now I am telling you to get off my property before I call the police." John responded backing up his fiance's wishes before shutting the door.
Katie's parents left and once John made sure that they were gone for good, he and Katie headed out to dinner. Katie was upset that her parents would try and pull something like that. She didn't want them in her life and she didn't want them near their daughter. After dinner, John and Katie headed home and to bed.
As the weeks passed, Katie and John didn't hear anymore from her parents. Katie was now in the last part of the third trimester and Christmas was just around the corner. John invited his parents and brothers down to celebrate as Katie couldn't really travel anymore.
With the house full of family and friends, John and Katie received a lot of gifts not only for them, but for the baby as well. After the holidays were over, it was time for John to focus on getting the baby's room finished and the furniture put together.
"John, we need to pick a name for the baby." Katie stated as she helped put the bedding on the mattress.
"Well, what do you have in mind?" John asked.
"I saw a few names that I liked. Lilliana, Lindsey, Lorelei, and Kylie." Katie answered.
"Ok. Well let's see which fits better. Lilliana Rose Cena?" John asked.
"I love it." Katie answered.
"There we go. Now we have a name for our little angel." John responded.
As soon as Katie hit 36 weeks, Samantha, Carol and Randy's mom Elaine, decided to throw her a surprise baby shower. Katie was allowed to travel until her 38th week. John knew all about the surprise shower and couldn't wait to see Katie's face. All the Diva's, Stephanie McMahon, Linda McMahon as well as some of the other stars wives were all there.
"John why do we have to be here so early again?" Katie asked as they walked into the arena.
"Because Vince needed me for something and I don't want to leave you alone in the room." John answered.
"Ok. I still think something else is going on." Katie responded as they walked into the dark catering room.
John turned on the lights and everyone yelled "surprise!" Katie really was surprised that they all went in together and threw her and John a baby shower. As they mingled with everyone, the women felt the baby kicking. After opening presents from everyone, it was time for the stars to get to work. Vince arranged for the gifts to be shipped to John and Katie's house the next day. Katie remained in catering with Carol, Elaine and Samantha.
"Thank you all for the baby shower. John and I really appreciated it." Katie stated.
"Anything for you and my granddaughter." Carol stated as she hugged Katie.
"I enjoy planning these things. And if you and John are ok with it, your little girl can call me grandma too." Elaine responded.
"That's really sweet. Thank you, Elaine." Katie stated.
"And of course Uncle Randy and Aunt Samantha plan on being there when the baby is born." Samantha responded.
Katie couldn't help but smile. Later that night as Katie and John were laying in bed, John rubbed his hand over the baby and Katie rested her head on his chest. Katie had been thinking all day about the birth of their daughter.
"John, I've been thinking. Why don't we ask Randy and Samantha to be the baby's God Parents?" Katie asked.
"You know. I was thinking the same thing." John answered.
"Glad that's settled. The other thing I wanted to ask you is, when do you want us to get married?" Katie asked.
"I was thinking when Lilliana is about a year old. She can be carried down the aisle as our little flower girl." John answered.
"Ok. Where do you want to get married?" Katie asked.
"How about in Tampa? They have some amazing places along the beach that would be perfect for a wedding." John suggested.
"Sounds romantic." Katie responded.
"It is. But for now, why don't we just focus on bringing our little girl into the world." John stated.
Katie didn't answer as she had drifted off to sleep. John watched her sleep for a little while before closing his eyes. A few days later, Katie and John were back in Tampa and putting away all the baby items they received at the baby shower. John noticed that Katie kept stopping and move again.
"Honey, are you ok?" John asked.
"Yeah. The baby is just sitting funny and causing a little pain." Katie answered.
"Why don't you go sit down and relax. I can handle the rest of the gifts." John suggested.
"Ok. I think I'll sit here in the rocker." Katie answered as she felt another pain. "John can you bring me my phone please?"
"Sure." John responded as he did just that. "Are you really ok?"
"I don't know. It almost feels like I am sitting on the baby's head and it hurts. I'm going to call the doctor and see if I should go in." Katie stated as she called the doctor's office.
Once she got through to her doctor's office and told her what was going on. The doctor advised her to go to the labor and delivery floor at the hospital and she would meet them there. Katie hung up the phone and looked at John.
"We need to head to the hospital. Dr. Moran wants to check and make sure that everything is ok." Katie stated as tears slid down her cheeks.
"Katie, don't cry. I'm sure everything will be just fine. Come on let's go." John responded.
Once they were at the hospital, Katie was hooked up to monitors while they waited for the doctor to come in and check on the baby. After Dr. Moran came in and checked Katie and the baby, it was advised that Katie no longer travel and that someone should stay with her at all times.
John made a phone call to Stephanie McMahon and explained what was going on with Katie and the baby. She gave the ok for John to take the time off to be at home. John also called Randy and Samantha and asked them to fly in to help out around the house. Randy and Samantha were more than happy to come help where they were needed.
