Chapter 12

As the weeks passed, Katie started showing and everyone at RAW knew that she was pregnant again. As soon as Katie hit 20 weeks, they had an ultrasound appointment. John sat in the waiting room with Lilliana while the doctor did the initial exam. After being brought into the room, the doctor showed, Katie, John and Lilliana the baby on the monitor.

"Baby." Lilliana stated.

"Yes. That's you baby brother or sister." John responded.

"Do you want to know the sex of the baby?" the doctor asked.

"Yes we do." Katie answered.

"Alright, look at the screen." the doctor stated. "If you look at the center of the picture you can clearly see that you are having a boy. Congratulations."

"Thank you." Katie responded.

After Katie was cleaned up, the doctor handed her the ultrasound pictures. John carried Lilliana out to the car. Katie pulled out her phone and dialed Samantha's number. Samantha was 4 weeks ahead of Katie and she couldn't wait to hear what her and Randy were having.

"Hello." Samantha answered her phone.

"Hey Sam. It's Katie. How are you and the baby?" Katie asked.

"Doing good. We just left Randy's parents house. How are you?" Samantha answered.

"Good. We just left our ultrasound appointment." Katie responded.

"And?" Samantha asked.

"We're having a boy." Katie answered.

"That's awesome! Congratulations to you, John and Lilliana. Randy and I found out that we are having a boy as well." Samantha responded.

"That's great. I bet Randy is excited. Congratulations to you both." Katie stated.

"He is. I'll scan the pics and send them to you this afternoon." Samantha responded.

"Sounds good. I'll do the same." Katie stated. "Talk to you later."

"Bye." Samantha responded as they hung up.

John got started on working on a room for their son, while Katie took care of getting Lilliana down for a nap. Katie also scanned the pictures of the ultrasound and emailed them to Samantha, John's parents, John's brothers and to Stephanie and Vince. Everyone was happy for Katie and Samantha. Stephanie even started planning a double baby shower for the girls in November.

As the weeks passed, Katie was soon at the point where she couldn't lift Lilliana up anymore. John and Katie decided that while John was on the road, they needed to hire someone to help Katie at home. John and Katie had also picked out a name for their son, but wanted to keep it a secret until the baby was born. After interviewing countless qualified people, Katie and John finally picked a nanny to help out. The nanny assisted Katie with Lilliana as well as household chores.

As November rolled around, RAW was in Tampa just before Thanksgiving. John was thankful that he got to spend the holiday at home with his wife and daughter. John and Randy had their wives convinced that they needed to be at the arena three hours early. Katie and Samantha had a hard time walking and as soon as they found catering, the girls walked in with John and Randy right behind them.

"SURPRISE!" everyone in the room shouted when John turned on the lights.
"What is all this?" Katie asked.

"It's yours and Samantha's baby shower." Stephanie answered. "Come over here and sit down."

"This is amazing. Thank you, Stephanie." Samantha responded as she sat down next to Katie.

The girls had a blast opening presents and talking about babies and such with all the other wives, girlfriends and the Divas. After the baby shower came to an end, Katie and Samantha thanked everyone for the gifts and the surprise party. John, Randy and a few of the male stars took all the gifts out to the cars and loaded them up. John couldn't wait to get all the gifts home and put away in the new nursery.

That night after arriving at home, John unloaded the car, while Katie headed upstairs to lay down. With less than 2 months before the arrival of their son, Katie was worn out more often than before. John was thankful that he was home for almost a full week before having to fly to Georgia, which gave him time to play with Lilliana and get things ready for Thanksgiving dinner. Randy and Samantha were staying in town through the holiday and Randy's parents as well as John's parents were flying in.

Thanksgiving morning, Lilliana woke up early and crept downstairs in to Randy and Samantha's room. She climbed up on the bed and tried to snuggle in between the couple. Samantha opened her eyes to see the little girl trying to wiggle down on the bed. Samantha scooted over a bit and smiled at Lilliana as she placed a finger over her mouth so they didn't wake Randy.

"You have to be very quiet, Uncle Randy is still sleeping." Samantha stated.
"No sleep. Wake up Uncle Wandy." Lilliana responded as she tried to open Randy's eyes with her tiny fingers.
"Uncle Randy need sleep." Randy mumbled.
"No sleep. Watch rade." Lilliana stated.
"You want to watch what?" Randy asked with one eye open.

"Rade, Wandy. The rade on TV." Lilliana answered.
"Sam, what is she talking about?" Randy asked.
"I think she wants to watch the Thanksgiving Day parade." Samantha answered.
"YES!" Lilliana shouted as she accidentally hit Randy's nose.
"Ok, ok. Uncle Randy is awake." Randy stated as he threw back the covers and stood up. "Come on munchkin. Let's go watch the parade while Aunt Samantha gets more sleep."

"I want to watch too." Samantha responded.

As the three of them watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Randy's parents as well as John Sr. and Carol came out of their rooms to start on breakfast and dinner. Lilliana climbed up in Randy's lap and cuddle up against his chest while watching the parade.

"You're son is going to have some competition when he's born." Elaine told Samantha as she pointed over at Randy.
"Yeah, and so is John with their son." Samantha responded. "Lilli will always have a special place in our hearts and home, she is our God-Daughter after all."
"Very true. She also has a place in our hearts and home as well." Elaine stated before heading back into the kitchen.

Samantha was a mere three weeks away from her due date and all Randy asked for was for the baby to wait until after Thanksgiving dinner before he came. As the morning progressed, John finally woke up to the smell of food and coffee. As he rolled out of bed, Katie woke up and the baby started kicking her.

"Your son is going to leave me black and blue from the way he kicks." Katie stated as she pulled on a simple maternity outfit.
"He's your son too. Is he really kicking that hard?" John asked.
"Come here and feel him." Katie answered as John walked over and placed a hand on her stomach.

The baby kicked John's hand as hard as he could. John was amazed at how strong their son was and he was still 2 months away from being born. John finally got dressed and helped Katie downstairs and into the living room. Katie joined everyone on the couch and watched the parade as well.

As the day went on, everything went as planned. Dinner was served at 3:30 and while they ate, Samantha had a hard time eating very much. She figured that the baby was taking up most of the room and so she just ate small portions. As dinner was coming to an end, the guys helped clear the table and did the dishes, while the women and Lilliana headed into the living room to relax.
