Chapter 30 - Babysitting

I arrived early Tuesday morning in Glendale, Arizona on for the beginning of Wrestlemania 26 weekend.

I know John had an extra busy week because he was recording some songs for his new movie 'Legendary' on top of all the already hectic week we had.

Last night we were in San Jose California for RAW and I took an early flight out to Phoenix to get ready for the week ahead, which would be my last as a WWE Superstar.

Last night I cut a promo with Paul and slightly with Randy…

Triple H was strapping up his knee when the door opened and closed and I walked in to shot, he looked up with a smile on his face in which I returned.

"Hey" he said lifting his leg from the chair

"Hey" I replied standing just on the other side of the chair.

"What's up?" he asked.

"Well I…. with this being my last week and all I just wanted to say that err I know we've never really seen eye to eye on some occasions and on some we've managed to co exist…" I rambled.

"Emma spit it out" he said wanting me to get to the point.

"Ok, just I wanted to tell you no matter what differences we had….. I've liked you and respected you even when you thought I hated you and even when you were running down my brother with a car or bashing him in the head with a sledgehammer. That took a lot of guts at that time cause he was the man back then" I smiled proudly.

"He was, that's why I went after him and you know in a weird way I always liked you too." he told me sincerely causing me to raise an eyebrow. "You Austin's certainly have a weird way with words" he then chuckled.

"That we do" I replied.

"I know you're gonna hate hearing this and possible deny it… but you're exactly like him" he said seriously. I smiled brightly at his compliment.

"I know" I said softly agreeing "I hate that" I joked causing him laugh then his smile faded.

"What would make you think I wanna talk to you" he said his voice turning angry. I scrunched my eyebrows at his sudden change of tone, thinking he was talking to me.

Then Randy Orton stepped into shot and I immediately understood who he was talking to.

"I'll leave you guys to talk" I said beginning to walk away.

"Hey Emma" I heard Orton say, I turned round to face him waiting for a response "No matter what happens on Sunday….you're the greatest"

"Don't worry about me and I don't need you to tell me what I am" I spat back suspiciously "Catch you later Hunter" I then said leaving them to talk.

Later on in the show there was a 10 Diva tag match with Divas from Raw and SmackDown.

The match consisted of Layla, Women's Champ Michelle McCool, Divas Champ Maryse, Laicia Fox and Vickie Guerrero and on the other side were the team of Gail Kim, Kelly Kelly, Eve, Mickie James and Beth Phoenix.

All 10 ladies were in the ring getting ready to start when Guest Host for the night Pete Rose came out and interrupted.

"Ladies before you start this contest I have a surprise for you. This match will have a special guest referee to make sure everything is called down the middle. Now I know many of you if not all of you know this person very well…" he trailed off before the glass broke and I walked out to a great pop from the crowd I shook Pete Rose's hand before making my way down the ramp to the surprise of especially the heel divas who were complaining. I was dressed in some blue jeans and a ref shirt which was turned into a tank top style shirt and my wrestling boots, my hair up into a high ponytail.

I climbed in the ring and stared down the heels and saw the happy look on the baby face Diva's faces, they were smiling and laughing but wouldn't be by the end of the match.

I hit all 4 corners before settling down and signalling for the bell to be rung.

Gail and Michelle started out the match and with a few near falls eventually all ladies had a chance to get in the ring even Vickie got a few cheap shots in thanks to her LayCool team-mates before Michelle and Gail were left and Michelle pinned Gail after performing a hell of a move and slapped the mat for a three count.

As they were announced the winners, I rose their hands in victory as the face Divas entered the ring again disappointed. I smirked coming up with an idea. I let go of their arms after raising them in victory and turned to my left were Michelle was I kicked in the gut and stunned her, then I stunned Maryse, then Fox then Layla got back into the ring when they saw what was happening they both got a stunner for their troubles. I turned round seeing Gail getting up so I stunned her, then Kelly, then Eve was next, Mickie then Beth laying them all out.

I looked down on them all scattered on the canvas, out of breathe, I rose my head to one of the corners were Vickie was cowering her back was against the buckle and she held her hands up and shook her head begging saying please no.

I slowly walked over with a scowl on my face and grabbed by the back of the head, I looked into the crowd who were cheering as if I was asking them 'Should I?' they all give me a response. I dragged her out the corner before planting a foot in the mid section grabbing hold of her neck and planting her to the mat.

When I stood back up and looked at the carnage I had caused. I smirked that Austin smile and shrugged my shoulders innocently to say "What did I do?" before looking back down intensely and signalling that those belts were mine come Sunday.

I climbed out of the ring and headed up the ramp.

"Emma Austin just sent one hell of a message to the other WWE Divas that this Sunday in her last match she is out to win gold" Michael Cole stated as I disappeared behind the curtain.

After a commercial I was seen walking backstage when Josh Matthews was calling my name from behind.

He caught up with me calling my name over and over, I finally stopped to see what he wanted.

"Emma, can I have a moment of your time.." I waited for him to speak "Emma you just stunned every Diva including Vickie Guerrero, you stunned them all"

"And why the hell do you think I did that huh Josh…" I waited for response that didn't come "I did it because every single one of them is a threat to me, on Sunday I face very single one of them in the ring and every single one of them could stop me from walking out on Sunday with them belts. So what do I do I stun every one of them to let them know retirement or not I am gonna be the first Undisputed Women's champion on Sunday and if I'm going out I'm going out on top" I said with venom in my voice before walking away…..

Anyway that was last night and now I'm in Glendale.

I settled into my hotel which would be my home for just under a week and decided to catch up on emails and stuff after I had unpacked a few things. Going for the comfortable look in some black yoga pants made of cotton and a baggy blue t-shirt, I pulled the t-shirt off beginning to feel rather warm leaving me in a black Nike sports bra.

Pulling out my laptop and other things I booted it up and sat down at the table slipping my reading glasses on. Since it was my last week I decided to have room to myself and not bunk with anyone. I kicked my sneakers off my feet and got comfortable

I looked at the clock on the screen to see it was still only 9.14am.

I clicked on a few things setting up my wireless internet connection before hearing a knock on the door. I look up at the door before standing up and walking over with a limp. I tried o not to put the weight on my left knee which was currently in pain.

I pull the handle door and pull the door open and smile when I see who's on the other side.

"Hey"

"Hey Ems" Randy smiled but I can tell something's up.

"Come on in" I said stepping to one side, he walks past me and just stands while I close the door.

"What's up Killer?" I ask limping back over and sitting back down at the table while he takes a seat at the end of my bed.

"What's with the hobbling?" he asked pointing to my legs.

"Oh I think I tweaked my knee last night giving all those stunners, it's just bothering me a little no biggie" I shrugged

"Ok. What's your schedule like?" he then asked which took me by surprise.

"What? Why do you wanna know about my schedule?" I asked curious at his random question.

"I need a favour"

"Oh" I huffed "come on then spill"

"Sam and Alanna are flying in this morning and Sam and I kinda had a disagreement over the phone last night" he said sheepishly, he should know by now he can tell me anything.

"What kind of disagreement?"

"Dirty laundry" he answered and I opened my mouth to say something when he raised his hand to stop me.

"Don't ask. She nagged at me and I said some things I didn't mean and now I'm in the dog house and I need to make it up to her badly"

"I see. Why do men always manage to upset women over the smallest things?" I joked.

"If I knew that I wouldn't be here"

"Touché"

"I was gonna ask you if you wouldn't mind taking care of Al for me" he then asked. I smiled at the possibility.

"Well I got today off then the rest of the week I'm pretty swamped like the rest of us so it would have to be today" I answered him honestly.

"Sure no problem today's great. That a yes?" he raised a eyebrow

"It's a yes" I said, he smiled widely.

"Thanks Em you're the best"

"I know." I said cockily "you want me to keep her over night so you guys can have some alone time together?"

"Yeah that would be great. I can pick her back up in the morning"

"No problem" I sighed before standing up and sitting on the edge of my bed next to him.

"So last week huh?" he asked.

"Yeah, my does time fly. I probably won't have the time to think about anything this week till Sunday cause I'll be too damn busy" I tried to joke "Who knows though I could go out a champion or I could go out a complete loser"

"Hey don't say that. If there's one thing you are not it's a loser" he told me honestly "You never give yourself enough credit Em, you don't know just how incredible you really are… and I don't just mean in the ring" he said sincerely

"You're too sweet to be a Viper" I said causing him to smirk

"Don't tell anyone huh? Would ruin my rep" he laughed "I'm being serious though. When I first met you I'll admit I only wanted to get you into bed and that took 2 years to do because I honestly think we had some sexual tension between us….. then it happened, we got it out of the way and our real friendship began and I've never been more pleased that happened." he confessed.

"I agree, there was tension between us and I still think that night happened for a reason, it needed to happen otherwise who knows we might not be friends right now"

He nodded "I couldn't imagine not having you in my life and I know Sam couldn't either"

"Ditto, I love you both and cupcake too"

"We all love you too" he said leaning forward and kissing my forehead "I gotta go pick them up"

"Just drop her off when you're ready I'll be here"

"Thanks again Ems." he said standing up and heading toward the door "See you later" he then finished before disappearing.

I smiled to myself thinking about looking after the one year and 8 month old.

I stood up and hobbled into the bathroom. I showered and changed into some dark blue jeans and a black t-shirt with this flowery design on it. After blow drying and straightening my hair, I left it down with hair band in to pull back my bangs and I slipped my feet into a pair of black tennis shoes.

I researched where I was going to take Al out for the day until he came back and scribbled down some notes. When I was finished on my laptop shutting it down before hearing a knock on the door again. As before I walked over and pulled it open to see Randy resting Alanna on his hip in one arm and a large bag on his other shoulder. She looked so cute dressed in some little denim shirts and a yellow t-shirt with mice on and her little shoes, her dark hair in little pigtails.

"Antie Emmie" she squealed happily. She can only say antie instead of auntie and ant instead of aunt. I laughed as she reached her arms out full stretch indicating she wants me to get her. I happily oblige and take her in my arms resting her on my hip and holding her tight while Randy disappeared again. She placed her little hands on my shoulders and wrapped her legs round my waist as far as they could go.

"Hey there my cupcake" I said happily bouncing her up and down gently loving hearing her giggle. I take her in the room and sit on the end of my bed sitting her on my knee as Randy came back into the room as I left the door open keeping it ajar. He came back in with her bag, car seat and stroller and set them down.

"That's all her stuff Em. I really appreciate you doing this I got some bridges to build" he chuckled.

"Hey no problem anytime. Is Sam still mad?" I said with my eyes still on the baby. He nodded gingerly "go and make this right again then"

"I will. So what are you ladies planning on doing?"

"Well I was thinking we take a little trip to the zoo" I said glanicig at him then looking back at Al, she smiled a toothless grin at me then began to clap her hands "That ok?" I asked Randy making sure.

"Sure it is"

"Yeay moo" she said no being able to pronounce words properly yet. I laughed before standing up again.

"I gotta go. Be good for Aunt Emma ok baby?" he told her, she nodded wrapping her arms around my neck.

"I will daddy" she replied cutely.

"Has she had any breakfast yet?" I asked him.

"No I don't think so, she'll need something"

"Good cause I'm starved" I laughed "Wanna go get some breakfast cupcake?" she nodded excitedly again.

"I better get going" he kissed Al on the head "bye baby"

"Bye daddy" she said waving at him when he walked towards the door.

"Later Em" he then said to me when he receached the door.

"Later Rands" I said before he left.

"Just you and me now sweetie" I said to the baby.

"Me hungie Emmie" she said pouting her lip.

"I know lets go" I said grabbing my purse, cell and key card from the table with my free hand and heading downstairs to the hotel restaurant.

We grabbed a booth and I set Al up in a high chair on the end before sitting down and browsing the menu.

"What do you want then Layni?" I asked her, she thought for a moment with an intense look on her face

"Toast" she answered quickly.

"Ok, toast we can do. Do you want some juice too?" I asked her glancing from the menu

"Yeay I do"

The waitress came over and took our order with me opting for toast also with a bowl of cereal and of course a cup of coffee.

I thanked her as she give Alanna a little pinch on the cheek causing her to giggle.

"She was pwitty" she said once the lady had gone.

"Yeah she was, not as pretty as you though" I said shaking my head.

"Not as pwitty as you too" she said giggling again causing me to laugh.

"So what flavour of cupcake are you today for Aunt Em?" I asked her handing her a little stuffed bunny. She took it from my hands and cuddled it.

She put her hand on her chin to think….

"Toclate" she answered happily. I loved how she couldn't pronounce words right, it made her even more cute.

"Chocolate huh? Good choice, well if your chocolate flavour I might just have to eat you all up" I said in a baby voice leaning closer to her and rubbing my nose against hers causing her to giggle even more.

"Well if it isn't my two favourite ladies in the whole world having breakfast" I heard a familiar voice behind me. I rolled my eyes. I looked at Al and her eyes light up when she turned her head and saw him.

"Wuncle JJ" she yelled happily as he sat down opposite me sliding in the booth.

"Hey monkey" he said using his nickname for her leaning over and kissing her cheek.

"Morning Shorty" he then said to me, I looked him over and he looked tired, knowing him though that won't stop him.

"Morning" I replied simply "do I not get a good morning kiss?" I asked sadly. He rolled his eyes before leaning over and softly kissing my cheek.

"There you go" he said sitting back down.

"Thank you"

"So what are you ladies up to today?" he asked waving the waitress over.

"How do you know we're not just having breakfast?" I answered innocently.

"Cause I got a text off Randy. Looks like he's in the doghouse again" he laughed

"That's what he said" I said as the waitress arrived with mine and Al's breakfast before taking John's order. We thanked her and she walked away.

"Do you think she was pwitty Wuncle John?" Al asked him, he grinned.

"Well yes she was however there are two very pretty girls here now, actually they're the prettiest girls in this room" he said acting all charming.

"Who?" Al asked him.

"Well for starters there's Auntie Emmie. She's beautiful" he said looking at me when he said the words. I'm sure I felt a blush rise in my cheeks.

"And then there's you my little monkey" he said tickling her causing her to giggle more.

"You fink me and ant Emmie are prettier than that girl?" she asked with hope in her voice.

"Absolutely" he winked at her. I shook my head.

"You are such a charmer John Cena" I said sarcastically trying to cover up at the fact he made me blush.

He grinned at me and I rolled my eyes. I sliced up Al's toast into soldiers so it was easier for her to eat she grabbed a piece and begin to chomp away on it.

"We're going to the Zoo in Phoenix aren't we Layni?" she nodded her head excitedly with a mouthful of toast.

"Wow that'll be fun. See all the animals huh?" he raised his eyebrow.

"You wanna join us?" I asked him before thinking, he probably was working while most of us had the day off. He was a workaholic after all and the 'face' of the company.

"I'd love to. I got a free day today." he said "That ok with you Monkey?" he asked Al.

"Yeay Wuncle JJ" she said still clutching onto the bunny.

I began to tuck into my toast when the waitress brought over John's breakfast. He thanked her and began to tuck in.

"Excuse me" we hear a voice say. I thought it might have been a fan or something. We looked over to an elderly lady standing there "Sorry to bother you. I couldn't help but notice how much of a happy family you look. Your daughter is so beautiful"

"She's not our daughter" John and I said in unison "She's our niece" I then said causing her to look embarrassed.

"Oh I am terribly sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. Looking at the both of you I'm sure one day when you decide to have children of your own they will be beautiful babies" she said sweetly.

"Oh we're not…" I began to say

"That's very kind of you to say m'am. I'm sure they will be, won't they honey?" John said placing his hand over mine. I gave a little confused look then played along.

"Yes they will sweetheart" I said through almost gritted teeth.

We said our goodbyes to the nice old lady before she disappeared.

"What was that?" I asked with annoyance in my voice pulling my hand from underneath his. I'm not really sure why I was mad.

"Come on Em. I was just trying to humour her. She thought we were a couple I didn't want to disappoint her. What's wrong? Is the thought of being with me repulsive to you" he asked sipping his coffee.

"No of course not it was just…" I sighed "I didn't expect you to do that"

"I apologize if I made you uncomfortable" he said acting cool.

"You didn't make me uncomfortable…..I…err" I stuttered not sure to why I was acting this way.

"Lighten up this is my last week with you gotta have my fun while I can" he laughed and I stuck my tongue out at him.

After breakfast, we headed to the Zoo and saw everything from the lions, to giraffes, to coyotes to zebras. Al especially loved the elephants she said they were her favourites. So much so I bought her a cuddly elephant to show her mom and dad, she clung onto the thing all the way round the park. We even shared and ice cream and some candy floss but we were not to tell anyone about that.

Randy text me a few times to check in on her and I told him not to worry. Then I would get texts from Sam checking up on us too. Talk about worrying parents.

We stopped for some lunch before heading to the petting zoo where you could interact with some animals like feeding them and petting them.

Al squealed happily when a goat took some food from her tiny hand, she looked so happy and carefree.

John and I managed to get spotted a few times even though we tried to disguise ourselves him with his hat and me with some sunglasses but you can't exactly hide away when you are the size John is. Any fans that approached us asked what we were doing here and we honestly answered, we had nothing to hide.

After the petting zoo we walked round to the monkey village, I picked Layni from her stroller and held her in my arms as we watched the monkeys swing on branches.

"That's what you are sweetie: a little monkey" John said standing next to me pointing at the monkeys then tickling her, she giggled happily and I smiled watching them interact.

We walked around for a couple more hours before calling it a day. Me and John were both exhausted not to mention the little one was too. Man you think being pro athletes we would have more stamina.

We headed back to the hotel around five and ordered room service between us.

While Al and John were watching TV, I turned my laptop on to check my emails quickly and happened to stumble one of the wrestling gossip websites and low and behold there was a link that caught my eye.

'John Cena and Emma Austin spotted with toddler'

I clicked on the link to see photos of me, John and Al at the zoo. I read the article underneath.

Two of the WWE's biggest stars were spotted together today with a little girl at Phoenix Zoo.

John Cena and Emma Austin were seen by fans who happened to get some pictures above of the two enjoying a rare day off before starting a hectic schedule promoting this week leading up Wrestlemania taking place this Sunday.

When asked by a fan what they were doing there, they simply answered honestly that they were babysitting Randy Orton's one and a half year old daughter, Alanna while he spent some much deserved time with wife Samantha who is visiting him on the road for the week.

It's no secret that the two superstars are friends in real life, they look awfully cosy in these pictures with no sight of Cena's wife Elizabeth anywhere to be found.

I rolled my eyes at them making assumptions. I showed John and he said not to make anything of it, they can think whatever the hell they liked.

After that, John and I gave Al a bath and changed her into some pyjamas. After that she took it upon herself to steal my reading glasses and run around with them on, I couldn't help taking a picture on my cell and sending it to Randy and Sam. She amused me and John for a while till she tired herself out.

"Say goodnight to Uncle John sweetie" I told her sitting her on John's lap, he was sat on the couch.

"Goodwight Wuncle JJ" she said sweetly to him, he smiled before leaning forward and taking her in his massive arms. She wrapped her small arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. The sight of them warmed my heart, they were so cute together.

"Goodnight princess" I heard him say softly, she pulled away and kissed his cheek. I picked her up from his lap and grabbed her elephant before I walked into my bedroom and I laid her down in my bed and covered her with the comforter. She clung onto her cuddly elephant for dear life as I sat next to the bed and watched her.

"So cupcake what are you gonna call your new friend here?" I asked her gently giving the stuffed animal a pat on the head then stroked her hair.

"JJ after Wuncle John" she said looking up at me with her beautiful blue eyes.

"That's so sweet. I know he'll love that" I said as her eyes began to drift shut.

"Goodnight my little cupcake" I whispered standing up and placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Goodwight Ant Emmie" she said quietly, her eyes closed.

I turned the baby monitor on grabbing the other one before turning the light out and walked back into the living area where John was watching some TV.

"Hey she get off to sleep ok?" he asked softly smiling.

"Yeah almost immediately" I said sitting down next to him placing the monitor on the coffee table.

"She's had quite an eventful day" he chuckled softly.

"Thanks for coming with us today. You've been a great help" I said sincerely looking at him.

"Anytime. Nice to spend the day with two of my favourite girls doing something normal for once" he said smiling dimples showing and all.

"Yeah it was nice to be normal without any worries or pressure" I said thinking out loud.

"You're really good with her" he then said.

"She's real easy to handle, not like her dad" I joked.

"Nothing like him. Who would think you were this big bad rattlesnake and look at you today"

"I know what a transformation huh?" I said softly.

My phone started ringing interrupted the moment.

"Excuse me a minute" I said getting off the couch and heading to the table where my phone laid.

John

I watched her closely as she walked over to the table and picked up her phone.

I smiled as I watched her. I saw a completely different side of her today. I know someday she's gonna be an amazing mother, any guy is gonna be lucky to have her as the mother of his children.

"Austin" she said into the phone answering it. I know she always answers her phone that way if she doesn't recognise the number.

"Yeah….sure… no problem…give me like 30 minutes and I'll be there….how long?…..alright….bye" she said hanging up.

"Everything ok?" I asked when she walked back over.

"Yeah that was someone from work. They want me to make an appearance on SmackDown tonight to do a segment with Michelle and Layla. Apparently they didn't take too kindly to being stunned last night and basically they are gonna trash me then kick my ass by double teaming me. They want me to be there asap to film the segment sort of my last appearance on SmackDown before Sunday" she said trying to find her shoes.

"Do you want me to take care of Al then?"

"Please. Make yourself comfortable here. I'll only be on hour at the most. The show is only in downtown Phoenix" she said finding her sneakers and sliding them on them grabbing her keys and cell.

"No problem Shorty"

"Thanks, you're are a star" she said leaning over and kissing my cheek "I don't need this but duty calls"

"You'll be great. Now I got an excuse to watch SmackDown on Friday" I said cheekily.

"Shut up jackass" she joked "Later" she said walking to the door.

"Later" I replied as she disappeared out the door.

About an hour and half later I was still sat on the couch watching some TV when I heard the door open then shut quietly.

"Hey" Emma said walking over to me.

"Hey sweetie" I said as she sat down next to me groaning "how did it go?"

"Ok I guess. My knee is killing me even more now. They really did a number on me" she joked leaning back against the couch and closing her eyes.

"I know you'll get your own back" I chuckled "Come here" I said quietly, she opened her eyes and looked at me as I raised my arms up inviting her for a cuddle, she smiled accepting the invitation leaning over and resting on my side wrapping her arms round my mid section and mine wrapping round her back an shoulders. I kissed her hair softly listening to her breathe gently. I closed my eyes feeling content and comfortable with her in my arms, I always did feel this way when she was. There is something about her that makes me feel at ease and at peace.

"I think I'm gonna go to bed" I heard her mumble beneath me. I opened my eyes when she pulled away.

"Ok. I checked on Layni just before you got back and she was fine"

"Thanks. You can crash here if you want."

"That's alright. I'll leave you girls to sleep peacefully. You don't need me snoring from the next room keeping you awake" I joked and she giggled "I'll stay a little longer wait till you've dropped off to sleep then I'll go. If you need me call me anytime" I said feeling my protective side for her and Al coming out.

"I will. Goodnight Junior" she said quietly standing up.

"Goodnight Emma" I said before she disappeared into the bedroom.

I stayed true to my word and sat for a little longer before deciding to hit the hay myself. I stood up and stretched out grabbing my stuff and walking to the bedroom door. I quietly opened the door and saw them sleeping peacefully with Al curled up next to Em with Em holding her with the elephant between them.

I smiled to myself at the sight of them, they looked so peaceful. It made me realise how hard it's gonna be come Monday night and the thought I had to say goodbye to one of the most important people in my life.
