**WOW! I'm SO glad you guys are enjoying this story! It gives me warm fuzzies just thinking about it. THANK YOU! Please continue to read and review! Remember, timelines are my own. (lol) **

Sadie and John had the most incredible time together. The day John left to fly out for Raw was very bittersweet for them. On one hand, it was wonderful to have spent the time together, getting to connect on another level. But on the other hand, it was very hard to say goodbye.

Sadie had written John a letter and tucked it into his back pocket as they parted ways. John had been pressing her for what he needed to know when dating a Deaf woman. And so when John fell asleep, Sadie got up and wrote out a few things she could think of.

Once John boarded the plane and found his seat, he pulled the letter out of his back pocket and began to read.

John,

I first want to tell you again for being so understanding when it comes to my Deafness. I was born profoundly Deaf and I'll always be profoundly Deaf.

You wanted me to give you a few pointers for dating someone Deaf, and I'm pretty laid back and easy going, so you have it pretty easy with me. I was raised by a hearing family so I've gotten pretty good at reading lips.

But, there are a few things that are important to know. Here you go and feel free to ask me anything.

I need you to learn American Sign Language. That's the only way you'll ever get to know me completely and for us to be successful, it's very important.

If we are out and either I sign something you don't know or someone else signs something you don't know, please ask. Don't assume or guess.

Don't feel that you have to do things for me because I'm Deaf. I can do just about everything a hearing person can do…so let me. I'll tell you when I need help.

We can live our lives balanced. We can both hang out with hearing friends and Deaf friends. The more you learn and expose yourself then you'll become more comfortable around Deaf people. And I'm used to hearing culture already, but there's always more to learn.

So far that's all I can think of. But learning Deaf culture and Sign Language is the biggest thing. And I promise, when we're together at home, I'll speak orally.

Miss you already!
Love, Sadie

John smiled and folded the letter up and put it into his pocket. He knew that he needed to start studying to show Sadie that he was really willing to give their relationship his 110%.

In between everything that their schedules held, they still found time over the next couple weeks to text and talk on the phone using the Video Relay Service through Purple on her new cell phone. John would fly out for a day or two when he could, but Wrestle Mania was coming up and he didn't have a lot of free time right now. It was getting close to Sadie's completion of her degree.

One morning Sadie woke up to her phone vibrating on her pillow. When she looked, it was a call from John.

"Good morning." She signed into her phone.

"Good morning love. What are you doing this weekend?" John asked.

"Just studying for finals. I'm all done working. Are you anxious for Sunday?" She replied.

"Yeah. That's one of the reasons I'm calling. Is there any chance you could come out for the weekend? I miss you like crazy. It's been way too long since I saw you and held you and I miss you."

Sadie giggled, "Are you sure you want me there? Won't I be a distraction?"

"Hell no. You'll be inspiration. Do you have to be back for Monday morning or can you leave later in the day?"

"My class is Tuesday at noon, so I'll be fine as long as I get in Tuesday morning." Sadie signed into her phone.

"Hot damn it's a date. I can't wait to see you." John replied.

"Go ahead, just forward me the email. I'll start packing. What should I bring to wear?" She asked.

"Whatever you want. Just remember to come to New York. Tomorrow night is the Hall of Fame ceremony at Madison Square Garden, so you're going to want to bring something formal or you can go shopping here. It's up to you." John slid the hall of fame stuff in there hoping she wouldn't catch it.

"Formal? John you didn't say anything about formal! I'll look through my closet and see what I have. I need to go pack. I'll see you soon."

"Ok babe. I love you and I can't wait to see you and show you my signing skills." He said with a laugh.

"Love you too. Bye!" And Sadie hung up. Quickly she began to go through her closet. What was going to be pretty enough to meet John's friends in? And the formal Hall of Fame ceremony? Yikes! The drive to New York City was about 4 hours give-or-take, so she wanted to hurry up and get on the road.

She began to pack a variety of clothes, then unpacked them all and began again. She finally decided on a few outfits and a comfy outfit for the drive home on Monday. She grabbed her hot rollers and make-up and a couple different pairs of shoes. Finally she began to look through her formal dresses. She didn't have many with her, but she finally decided on a satin, lavender, floor-length dress that had a beautiful lace-up corset in the back and delicate pearl beadwork in the front. It was a very pretty dress. Sadie quickly wrote a note to Misty and grabbed her purse, backpack and keys and hit the road.

This was definitely going to be an interesting weekend. She did miss John, and this was a very big weekend for him. So going out there to support him was the least she could do as a good girlfriend.

***What do you think? Will the weekend go well? Do you think John told his WWE friends about Sadie being Deaf or has he been keeping that to himself? Please read and review! Thanks!**
