Chapter 3

The ride to John Sr.'s house was more torturing then the flight to Massachusetts was. It was so quiet in the taxi all she had was her thoughts to battle with. By five o'clock Jessica was pulling up into the gravel driveway that lead to the Massachusetts home she had been to so many times before. However, this time instead of showing up with John she was coming to fight for him; to tell him a secret that she had been hiding for months. She was scared of how he would take the news and how his family would react. She knew there would be questions to answer for why she had kept it all a secret. When the taxi came to a stop she stepped out into the early December snow. It was beautiful this time of year and the air seemed to be cleaner than ever before. Jessica took ahold of her suit case from the driver and carefully started to walk toward the front door. After stepping onto the front porch she took a deep breath and adjusted herself before ringing the doorbell. You couldn't see that she was pregnant through her hoodie, but if she took it off the belly was differently noticeable. The door swung open, but it was the wrong John Cena. It was John Cena Sr.

"Oh my gosh. Hello sweetie." The older man said to her as he embraced her into a hug. "How have you been? We have missed you. John has missed you."

"I know. I've missed all of you too. Dad is he here?" Jessica asked the elder Cena. Upon their first meeting of each other he had demanded she call him dad instead of Mr. Cena.

"No, he still has a few house shows to do before he comes home." Jessica's head fell. She had traveled all that way to find out he wasn't even in Massacheutts.

"Oh well then I guess…"

"Why don't you come in? It's too cold out there." He interrupted her and they walked together to the kitchen where his longtime girlfriend, Dora, was with a hot pot of hot coco.

"Look who I found." Dad said as Dora turned to see Jessica standing there.

"Oh my. I've missed you so much." Dora said as she ran around the kitchen table and enveloped Jessica.

"I've missed you too."

"Not that I'm not glad to see you, but what are you doing here?" Dad asked as he pulled a seat out for her.

"I came to right a wrong. I came to find John." Jessica informed the two.

"It's about time you two work this out." Dad said as they sat around the kitchen table sipping hot coco. The conversation quickly turned to old Cena family stories and hopes and dreams for the family. The conversation completely took over their attention because before they knew it had been three hours and the front door had swung right opened.

"They're here." Dora said as all three of them jumped up from the table and headed toward the front door. The two elders of the three walked in to the living room first. Jessica's nerves were making her scared to walk into the room and face the rest of John's family.

"Jessica?" Stacey and Amber, John's sister-in-laws said at the same time causing everyone else to look up at her.

"Hi." Jessica said as her voice shook.

"Hi." Matt, one of John's brothers said as he walked over to give her a hug. She was thankful that they couldn't feel her belly through her hoodie when they hugged her.

"So what are you doing here?" Dan, oldest brother asked.

"I came to try to work things out with John, but he isn't in town yet."

"No, but he is on his way. A bad storm in Connecticut made them cancel the rest of the house shows." Matt informed the whole room.

"Really?" Jessica's hopes soared.

"Yeah, but he's not coming here. He said that he was tired and was going home. He's coming over tomorrow." Stacey said.

"That's alright I'll just call a cab and go over to his house to wait for him." Jessica said.

"Don't bother I can take you." Dan volunteered.

"Thank you." With hope back again she grabbed her bag and turned to give dad and Dora a hug and kiss goodbye. She quickly told the rest of the family goodbye as her and Dan walked out the door. Within minutes they were on the road to John's. He only lived a few miles down the road, but it felt like forever to Jessica as she sat quietly in the passenger's seat.

"So what are you going to do?" Dan asked.

"Hopefully work everything out and be together again." Jessica answered as she watched out her window.

"I hope so. You guys are perfect for each other."

"A lot of things have happened. I just hope that what we had will be strong enough." Jessica admitted.

"How are you going to get in?" Dan asked when they pulled up into the drive way.

"I still have my key, unless he changed the locks." She said as she quickly retrieved her bag and walked to the front door. Dan watched carefully making sure she didn't slip on any ice. Once she was inside he drove away.

Jessica quickly walked to the thermostat to get the house warmed up. She sat down on the couch waiting patiently for John to arrive, but the lack of sleep paired with her pregnancy made her eyes feel heavy. Within ten minutes from being dropped off she was fast asleep on the couch.

Two hours later…

John opened the front door and walked in from the cold. He didn't notice her asleep in his living room at first, but he did notice her suit case sitting by the door. When he looked over he saw her peacefully sleeping on the couch and thought it was a dream.

"Baby. Baby, wake up." He said softly as he caressed her cheek. She slowly opened her eyes to see him squatting in front of her.

"Hi Johnny." Jessica said with a small smile. She could see his chest starting to rise and fall faster and faster indicating that he was nerves. John stayed still just looking at her for what seemed to be minutes but was truly seconds.

"What are you…. Why are you… How are you…" He stuttered trying to find the right words, but couldn't.

"I'm not ready to let you stop fighting for me." Jessica said as she stood up. She was starting to sweat so she walked over by the door to take her hoodie off and hang it up on the wall where his coat was hung. John had noticed what she was wearing when he first saw her on the couch. It was his old Springfield College hoodie that she had stolen from him and refused to give it up. It was about three times to big on her, but she informed him that it was a perfect fit. John never did argue about that fact, partly because he loved the way she looked in it. Jessica turned around slowly to see him standing just a few feet away. It took a second, but eventually her belly caught John's attention.

"You're pregnant!" He said in complete shock.

"Yes and it's yours. When you sent me that message about letting me go I realized I had taken this too far and that you needed to know the truth." She said as he continued to stare at her tummy.

"Wait a second. You're pregnant with my child? Why didn't you tell me?" John questioned.

"Because you kissed Lisa."

"YOU KEPT THIS A SECRET FROM ME BECAUSE OF A MISTAKE." John screamed taking Jessica by surprise.

"I'm sorry…"

"You're sorry? How in the world could you keep this a secret from me? THAT'S MY CHILD. Why would you do that? I thought above everyone else that I could actually trust you? I guess I was wrong." That hit her in the soul and pissed her off. He was the one that betrayed her not the other way around. None of this was going the way she hoped, but she wasn't one to back down.

"Trust me… Really…. Trust me… Are you kidding me? I was the one who walked in on you and your little whore kissing if you can remember correctly and you can't trust me?" Jessica fired back.

"That was over two months ago and I have apologized a million times and she kissed me for the record."

"You have got to be punking me right now. That is the oldest excuse in the book. It's right next to 'Baby, I have to work late tonight.' You did this to yourself not me." She said trying to get her suitcase out of his grasp.

"Oh no. You aren't going anywhere until this is fixed."

"What does that mean John? Do you want me to just get rid of the problem? Make it disappear for you?" Jessica asked. Those three questions attacked John's heart like the plague.

"I didn't mean it that away. I want to know why you did this. Why did you keep this from me until now?" John asked.

"I tried to tell you once before."

"When? Because I definitely don't remember you trying to tell me anything about a baby."

"Well, I did. I tried that night. I had everything planned out. I was going to surprise you with the news at the arena and depending on how you took it I was going to take you out for a special daddy's dinner. However, you had other plans. When I arrived that night I walk up on you and Lisa making out." Jessica clarified. Little bits of John's memory came floating back after months of missing. He remembered Jessica calling him early that day saying she had a surprise for him. She was going to tell him he was going to be a daddy and he messed everything up. This was his fault. John walked to his couch to set down. He rested his elbows on his knees and put his head in his hands. His words were so mumbled Jessica could barely make them out, but she strained to hear him say 'I fucked up.'

"I had went to the doctor earlier that day to get a blood test just to make sure I was pregnant before telling you. I should have never left the arena. Maybe then things would be different right now. Instead of fighting we might have been getting ready for the baby together, but that is something that I have to live with. I'll let all of this sink in now and I'll go to a hotel until you decide if you want us or not. It's not just me now, I'm a packaged deal. It's your decision. " With that said Jessica took ahold of her suit case and grabbed the Springfield hoodie near the door. Her hand was reaching for the door knob when John stepped in front of her.

"Please. I'm begging you. Whatever you do don't leave me again." He fell to his knees, wrapping his arms around her tummy and kept repeating 'please.' The sight tugged at her heart and she realized that he still loved her the way she always hoped he did.

"Jessica, I'm sorry for everything I have put you through and I wish I could take it all back, but I can't. The only thing I can do is show you and prove to you that I love you. I want to be a family with you and our child. I have even went as far as putting a restraining order on Lisa. I never wanted her it's always been you. Please baby stay. Don't leave me. I can't take it anymore. All of the lonely nights, I dream of you every night. I want you. Only you." John begged still on his knees.

"I want you too, but I don't know how to fix this." Jessica said as she tried to breathe.

"We will together. I promised."

"John, you have to let go." Jessica said trying to loosen his grip on her. Feeling the need to pass out.

"No, you have to stay." He demanded squeezing her slightly more.

"John, I'm not leaving. I just can't breathe and you're squashing the baby." With that said John quickly let go of her.

"Are you okay? Is the baby okay?" John carefully rubbed Jessica's tummy as he stood up.

"We're okay." With that said John carefully wrapped his arms back around her waist.

"I love you, Jessica and I always have."

"I love you too, John. However, you have a lot to make up for." She said with a smile. With that clarified John picked her up and carried her upstairs.
