A month had passed. Olivia was still in the incubator but otherwise seemed to be doing alright. She wasn't aloud out for two more months. The doctors wanted to make sure her lungs were fully developed. Olivia was a beautiful baby. She had Dannie's complexion and John's dark blue eyes. Dannie still hadn't gotten to hold Olivia. Except to sleep Dannie never left the hospital. John went back to work. He didn't have a choice. Every chance he got he would call. The hospital gave John a phone number to call that connected him to Dannie. Dwayne had been coming around the hospital as often as he could but he and Dannie still hadn't discussed there issues with each other. They'd mostly talk about Olivia. Dannie was sitting in a room with Olivia. A nurse came in.
"Mrs. Cena." The nurse said. "Your husband's on line two."
"Thank you." She looked at Olivia. "Mommy will be right back."
She went out into the hallway where the phone was and picked it up.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi baby." John said.
"Hi."
"How's Olivia doing?"
"Good." "I just wish she didn't have to be here."
"I know." "Me to."
"I wanna take her home." "I wanna be able to hold her."
"We'll both get to."
"I know."
"The main thing is she's ok."
"Thank god."
"She's a fighter." "She's a Cena and a Johnson so she's double stubborn."
"Yeah." "I miss you."
"I miss you to." "And Olivia."
"She misses you to."
"Has Dwayne been by anymore?"
"Yeah." "He was here two weeks ago."
"Have you guys talked about things?"
"I think we're both avoiding the subject."
"I think you should talk about it."
"We probably should but I don't wanna fight." "I'm stressed enough as it is."
"Maybe he's finally ready to discuss it." "I mean he is coming around."
"Only because of Olivia."
"At least that shows he cares."
"Yeah." "That's one good thing."
"I gotta go." "I love you."
"I love you to."
"Tell Olivia daddy loves her."
"I will." "Bye."
"Bye."
A few hours later Dannie was back in room with Olivia.
"Hi." Dwayne said. Dannie looked up.
"Hi." They hugged.
"How's she doing?"
"Other then still having to be in the incubator no worse."
"Good." "Any word on when they're taking her out?"
"Not for two more months." "They want to make sure her lungs develop fully."
"Hi Olivia." Dwayne said looking down into the incubator. "Did you miss me?" "I missed you."
"Dwayne come sit down." "I think we should talk."
"Ok." He said sitting the chair next to hers. "What do you wanna talk about?"
"I think you know."
"Yeah." "I knew this would eventually come up."
"I want us to be a family again Dwayne." "All of us."
"Dannie I love you and I love Olivia." "I won't lie and say I like John because I don't."
"I know you don't."
"As much as I don't like it, he is your husband." "I don't know if I'll ever be able to approve of that but there's nothing I can do about it." "So I have to learn to accept it." "I don't want the family apart from each other anymore either." "I can't promise I'm ever gonna like John." "What I can promise is to be civil to him and I will be." "He can meet Simone if he wants." "Simone really misses you, I do to."
"I miss you to."
"Come here." "Give me a hug." They hugged.
"I know adjusting to John won't be easy for you."
"No it won't but I'll try my best."
"Thank you."
"When Olivia gets better come out to California and see us."
"Ok."
"John can come to if he wants."
"Ok."
"I'm sorry I missed your wedding."
"It's alright I'm just glad we're talking again."
"Now all we need is for Olivia better and home safe."
