"Wow that was an awesome drive." John said helping Rainey out of the car. He opened the back seat and got Johnny out of his car seat. The infant was flailing his arms and legs in excitement.
"Can we do that again? I liked going fast."
"I think you turned someone into a Speed Demon." Rainey laughed as she ruffled Johnny's hair. They strolled out of the garage together. John stopped in his tracks. Rainey took her attention from Johnny to see Dave sitting on John's back porch.
"Hey Dave." Rainey waved. "What brings you by?"
"I actually came to see you." Dave gave her a shy smile.
"I'm gonna put him down for a nap." John told Rainey.
"What's on your mind big man?" Rainey asked having a seat next to him.
"Would you like to go out with me?" He asked.
"Are you serious? You wanna go out with me?" Rainey laughed. "But you are so good looking."

"What's goin on?" Liz asked coming to stand next to John as he stared out the kitchen window.
"Shhh!" He hissed at her.
"John Cena are you spying on them?" Liz scolded him. "Get away from this window right now. Let Rainey and Dave have some privacy." She shooed him away but was reluctant to remove herself from the window. If Rainey decided to date Dave then she would not have to worry about Rainey stealing John away from her. This could be the answer to her prayers.

"Randy I am gonna kick Dave's ass." John fumed.
"Why?" Randy asked as he finished changing Alana's dirty diaper.
"He asked Rainey out."
"And?"
"He's asking the mother of my child out on a date."
"Dude ... you are engaged to another woman. You cannot have it both ways. If you love Liz then marry her but if you love Rainey you need to end things with Liz and then try it out with Rainey. But you have no right to be upset if someone else had the balls to do something you seem not to want to."
"Some best friend you are." John scoffed.
"Only a best friend would tell you to get your head out of your ass. So grow a set and do what you gotta do. But Rainey is not going to be single forever. She is too pretty and nice for that. She deserves to be happy with or without you."
"I gotta go." John snapped his phone shut. Of course he knew that Randy was right but he was in no mood to deal with his rational mind at the moment.
"Gah ... I am so confused." John vented as he punched a wall. The sound must have startled Johnny, who was sleeping in the next room.
"Sorry about that big guy." John cooed as he picked the infant up.
"Can I ask you a question?" John had a seat in the rocking chair that sat next to a window.
"I suppose you can."
"Who do you think I should be with?"
"Mommy ... duh!" John blew raspberries in his father's face.
"You are no help."
"Hey I gave you my answer. If you choose not to listen to me then that is your own fault. I don't like Liz. She seems icky to me. And I am always right about people."
John stood the baby up and began blowing raspberries on his stomach. Johnny laughed gleefully.
"Well one thing I know is that no matter who I choose you'll always have my back right?"
"For the most part yet. Unless I am napping in which case you are on your own."
"I love you big guy." John kissed his son's cheek.
"I love you too Daddy."
