Chapter 13: News
A/N: SO THIS CHAPTER WE FIND OUT HOW JEFF IS GONNA TAKE IT, SOME OF YOU WANTED HIM TO BE OK WITH IT, SOME DIDN'T. I EVEN ASKED ONE OF MY FRIENDS SHE DIDN'T HELP MUCH. WELL I FIGURED IT OUT, SOME WILL BE HAPPY, SOME WONT BUT WE'LL SEE. DID ANYBODY GET AMY'S FIRST CD (THE LUCHAGORS GO TO TO GET IT) I DID AND IF YOU LIKE PUNK ROCK, THEN YOU SHOULD GET IT, I WOULD RECOMMEND IT :) ANYWAYS, THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS: csimiamigirl73, Cena130, techwiz, NewYorkChica. I REALLY APPRECIATE THEM. NOW ON WITH THE STORY :D
To tell you the truth, you could tell I was pregnant. I just thought I was gaining weight. On the road, not much more to eat besides fast food, so I hadn't thought twice about it.
OK, so I know that before Randy said that I'm like a little sister and then, as you all know, he was lying. But now that he has Amy, I really am like a little sister, especially when we remembered that we used to be best friends before. He is really over protective about the smallest things. I was so worried about how Jeff would take the news that I forgot about how Randy would take it. Dad wasn't too bad but Randy has more of a temper than what dad does…
John and I just told Randy. "You son of a bitch, you knocked her up!" Randy yelled as her grabbed John by the collar and backed him up into the wall.
"Randy don't! It was an accident, I told you that" I yelled at him
"Bullshit!" Randy said then pulled his arm back getting ready to punch John in the face.
"Knock it off!" I yelled as I grabbed hold of Randy's arm.
"Let go Steph" Randy said through gritted teeth.
"No! John is your best friend. It was an accident; we didn't even remember what happened. We told you that. You passed out that night too, remember" I said, then Randy put his arm down and let go of John.
"Thank you" I said and gave Randy a hug, he hugged me back.
"Thanks Steph. Randy look, we didn't mean for it to hap…" Randy punched John in the face anyways and stormed out of the hotel room.
"Damn it Randy. I'll go talk to him" I said and followed after him "Randy come back here" I shouted
"No!"
"Randy, damn it. Atleast talk to me"
"Fuck you, wait John already did" he did not just say that.
I ran up to him and stopped in front of him. "Excuse me, would you mind repeating that last sentence?"
He didn't say anything. "That's what I thought. Randy, I know this is messed up. But we've all come to terms with it, even my dad wasn't this mad. What is your problem?"
"You wanna know what my problem is?" he yelled
"Ya, that's what I just asked"
"I think he did it on purpose" he stated matter-of-factly.
"What?! Why would you think that?" I was appalled
"Because he loves you Steph"
"I know" he don't know that I have some feeling for John back. The only ones that know that are mom and Amy.
"I mean, you have no… What, you know?"
"Ya, I know. He's dropped these little hints and after that argument with Jeff, I thought about it and I realized that he does"
"Does he know?" Randy asked, now he seemed like was concerned for John's feelings.
"Ya, I told him that I know… We were drunk Randy, we didn't remember anything"
"Are you sure he…"
"I asked him about it. He honestly doesn't remember anything. I looked him in the eye and asked. You know he can't lie to me when I do that"
"I know" he hung his head.
"Now go apologize to your best friend" I demanded, so we went back to the room.
"John, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. I know you didn't do it on purpose"
"No problem man" John said and they gave each other a manly hug.
"So why don't we go down to the pool, like we were going to in the first place" I suggested
"Alright" they both said. So we all got changed and went down to the pool. We were the only ones down there, I like that. I took off my shirt and shorts and was about to get in.
"You are getting a little chubby Steph" Randy smirked
"Shut up, the doctor said I was only 8 weeks along, it's barely a little bump" I said and jumped in. In all reality, in a bathing suit you could tell that I was pregnant. We were just goofing off for a good half hour until Bob came down.
"I have a little bit of bad news" he said
"What is it?" John asked, sitting on the edge of the pool.
"A little change of schedule, we won't be going back home next week. It's been postponed for another month"
"Why?" I asked
"I don't know. Vince changed the schedule" Bob answered
"Hey, atleast we'll be going, it just won't be for another month" Randy said, looking on the bright side.
"True. Thanks for the info Bob" I said
"Yep. Meet us in the lobby at 6. We're going out to eat tonight"
"What time is it now?" John asked walking up the diving board.
"4" Bob answered and started to walk away.
"Wait, where are we going?" Randy asked
"Golden Corral" Bob said and left
"I love that place" we all said together, then laughed
Then I realized "That means that I have to wait another month before I tell Jeff" I whined
"You can call him and tell him" Randy offered
"No, I want to tell him in person"
"Just think, by then you'll be showing" John added then did a cannon ball.
"Damn it. Then I'll be… 12 weeks, that's 3 months. I've seen women 3 months along, I won't be able to hide that"
"Just wear baggy clothes" Randy commented
"I already do, I just hope it'll be enough. I don't want him to be able to notice as I'm walking up to him, then he thinks 'wow she got fat, wait she's pregnant' before I even get a chance to tell him"
"It'll be fine. Just wear a big black sweater that day" John seemed annoyed
"Ya, that should work" Randy added
"OK… I'm just worrying too much, aren't I?" I asked
"Ya" they both said. About an hour later we got out of the pool and while Randy then John were taking their showers I called Jeff.
"Hey Hun… 8 days"
"Ya, about that. Something happened and we won't be coming for another month. I'm sorry Babe, it really sucks. Vince changed the schedule" I informed him
"Atleast you guys'll be coming though" he said, obviously down about it.
"Exactly. But I gotta get in the shower cause dad and Bob are taking us out tonight"
"You, in the shower. I'll keep that image in mind" he can be such a horn dog.
"Jeff" I scorned him
"Sorry, I can't help it if I think my girlfriend has a hot body. You know that outfit I like that shows off your curves perfectly?"
"Ya" of course I know it, it's the only outfit that I have like it. I wore it once and that was Halloween. Amy and I just thought that we would try dressing preppy for once.
"Could you wear that when you guys come?" he asked, pretty much begging.
I would rather not "If I can find it, I think I left it at home" that's a good enough excuse.
"Damn! Well have fun tonight. I love you"
"I love you too, bye" I hung up and took a shower and got ready. We had a great time that night. I was stuffed; I always eat too much when I go there. Oh well, I'm eating for two now, right?
The next morning I woke up to my phone ringing. "Hello" I answered groggily
"Hey Steph"
"Mom? What are you doing calling this early?"
"Honey, it's 2 in the afternoon. What time did you get to bed last night?" she asked
"Like 10 o'clock. That means I slept for… 14 hours?" I can't believe I slept that long.
"Well you do get a little more tired during your pregnancy. But not 14 hours tired. Hmmm… Anyways I called to tell you that I scheduled a doctor's appointment for you next week. You'll barely be able too but you'll see the baby"
"Awesome. Can John come?"
"If he wants to"
"Ya, he already asked me. I'm gonna get up and around and I guess I'll see ya next week"
"OK, bye honey"
"Bye mom" I hung up and got dressed. I left a note on the dresser saying that I was going for a walk but as I was leaving I saw a note on the door from Randy and John; 'Steph, we didn't want to wake you so we thought we'd leave this note. We went to the gym we'll be back at 2:30 don't go anywhere, we have a surprise for you'. They are such dorks. It's 2:15 now, so I guess I can wait for another 15 minutes. So I sat back on the bed and turned the tv on and found Spongebob, so I watched that. It was my favorite episode: Sailor Mouth. Right on cue, as soon as Spongebob was over, they walked in the door.
"Tired much?" Randy asked
"Ya well I probably would have still been asleep but mom called and told me that she scheduled and appointment for me for next week"
"An appointment for what?" Jeff came in behind them. I ran into his arms and gave him a hug and he gave me one of those kisses that I love so much "Jeff, what are you doing here?"
"Well Randy and John called me and asked if I wanted to come see you since it would be another month and I said 'Hell ya' so they booked me a flight last night and I just got here" I gave him another hug. "Thanks guys" I said to John and Randy.
"No problem" they both said
"I'm so happy to see you" I said still hugging Jeff.
"Me too, so what do you have an appointment for?"
"We'll leave you guys alone, come on John" Randy said
"No, you guys can stay. I was gonna go for a walk. Jeff, you wanna come with me?"
"Of course" he said and we left. We walked around the town with our arms around each others waists.
"So, I can tell there's something you need to tell me, what is it?"
"OK. Question, Darci and Kim will let me drink as long as they're home and I'm not going anywhere, does your dad say the same thing?"
"Ya" he answered
"Have you ever snuck any with out him knowing and went to a friend's house and got trashed and couldn't remember what you did the night before?"
"Actually that has happened once before. Why?"
"Well that happened to me"
"OK, no biggie. I can tell that's not all though"
"It's not. Remember when I left and we had that argument?"
Jeff sighed "I try to forget, but ya"
"Well I snuck some Smirnoff in my bag and I figured that since Bob and my dad were going out, I figured that we could use it on that first night instead of another night. Especially since I was stressed from earlier"
"Sorry about that. What did you play?"
"That's OK. We played quarters and Randy sucks at it"
"Figures, are you any good?"
"Ya, so is John. Randy ended up passing out, so we carried him to the couch. Then John and I continued drinking and then I don't remember anything until I woke up"
"OK, I don't see the problem in that"
"You will" he went to say something but I stopped him "Just let me finish, OK. When I woke up, John and I were in the same bed"
You could tell he was getting a little angry. "Do you know if anything happened?"
"Not really, but we were both naked" I confessed, I was still being calm.
"Stephanie!"
"Let me finish. We decided not to tell ANYONE and just forget about it since we couldn't remember it anyways. So still I didn't intentionally cheat on you"
A couple minutes went by and he calmed down. "You're right, neither of you were in your right mind. You didn't remember anything. I forgive you both. But why bring it up if you decided to forget about it"
"Well, remember when you called and we made up I said that I had the stomach flu?"
"Ya"
"Well, the following week I had went to dad's and met his wife, Sara whom I call mom now and she said that it wasn't the stomach flu that I had"
"How did she know that?" he wondered
"She asked me a couple questions. Like; did I have any symptoms besides throwing up and I didn't. Then she asked me if I had gotten my period yet and I said no but I was supposed to 2 weeks before that" he let it sink in.
"Are you saying…?"
"Yes Jeff, I'm pregnant" I wasn't sure what was coming next.
"And it's John's" he stated. It's weird I thought he'd be mad but, it was hard to read him.
"I'm sorry, like you said we weren't in our right minds" I reminded him
"I know, it's just… I don't know how to take it. How far along are you now?"
"About 2 months. Are you mad?"
"Ya, no, I don't think so. I don't know. What's John think?"
"Well he was as surprised as I was but he's grown to accept it and he's happy about becoming a dad. The first thing he asked me was if you knew. He was worried about how you'd take it"
"Really?" he seemed surprised
"Ya, you are one of his best friends, you know"
"I know… So what does your mom and dad think?"
"Well dad was pissed for a couple minutes then he was just concerned and mom, she was just worried. But it's all good now"
"OK, what about John's parents?" he was being concerned for everyone else when I 'm concerned about him.
"We're gonna tell them when we go home, that's when I was gonna tell you too"
"What are you gonna do about school?"
"Well, mom and dad asked me to move in with them and I'm going to and I'm gonna get home schooled and get my GED. Since I'll be home schooled then I can come up and see you whenever I want since I won't be missing school" I explained
"I guess that works" he smiled, then he said something that made me even happier. "So what is this kid gonna call me?" I looked at him, smiled, gave him a huge hug and a kiss.
"Are you serious?" I started to cry
"Ya. I love you Steph, just because you're pregnant, I'm not gonna leave you. Granted it's with another man but it's one of our best friends"
"I'm so happy that you said that"
"Hun, don't cry"
"I can't help it" I dried my tears "How long are you staying?"
"Just till next week, that's all my parents would let me"
"So are you gonna come with John and I to the doctor's appointment?" I asked, hoping he would.
"Of course. You never answered me, what am I gonna be to this kid?"
"Well, John is dad… Do you want to be called dad too?" that would be kind of weird though.
"If that's OK with John… Actually, the kid can call me Jeff. Cause John is the dad; I don't think it'd be right"
"That's fine" I gave him another hug and we walked back to the hotel.
The week that Jeff stayed with us, he just slept in bed with me. Even though it was my turn on the couch; John and Randy refuse it to me just cause I'm pregnant, the couch isn't that uncomfortable. John and Jeff got a lot closer, I'm glad they did. There were a couple times that they left Randy and I in the room by ourselves. Oh well, during those times Randy would tell me how much he loves Amy, it was so cute. He would never say all this stuff in front of the guys.
Today is the day of the appointment. Jeff, John and I flew in this morning and mom picked us up. I introduced mom and Jeff; they hit it off real well. "He's a real cutie" mom whispered to me on the way to the appointment.
"Thanks mom" what else was I supposed to say?
"So how are you feeling?" mom asked
"Nervous" both John and Jeff said, I laughed and just looked at them.
"Sorry" Jeff said
"She was talking to you, wasn't she?" John asked
"I think so. I'm OK. How are you feeling though? You're due in a couple weeks"
"I feel like I'm gonna explode"
"You look like it" I teased
"Thanks Steph" she said, obviously being sarcastic.
"Your welcome" I smiled. Then we got to the doctors office and he got me all prepped up and everything.
"Is this your first ultrasound?" he asked
"Ya" I said as he moved it around as we watched the screen. Did I just see…?
"Which one of you is the father?" the doctor asked
"I am" John said
"Congratulations, you guys are gonna have twins" I did see two.
"Really?" I asked
"Ya, right here and here" he pointed them out. I'm gonna have twins. "Like mother, like daughter" the doctor said
"I guess so" mom said and smiled
"How far along before we can find out the sexes" Jeff asked
"About 2 more months. But I will ask for you to come back next month for me to do a routine check up"
"Alright thanks doc" I said as he finished up and print the pictures out.
"I knew it" mom said as we walked back to the car.
"What?" Jeff asked
"That it was twins"
"How?" John asked
"Cause you said that you've been a lot more tired lately. You get even more tired when you're gonna have twins" mom explained
"Well…" I stuck my tongue out at her and she just smiled.
I had called Darci and Kim and told them about it. I call them every week to let them know how everything is going. Today I also go and get all my stuff from their house. I made sure that I remembered the ultrasound pictures, even though you can hardly see them, they still wanted to see the pictures… Oh my god, I never told Amy, I wonder if Jeff did. She's gonna be pissed that I didn't tell her first. I'll worry about that later, now we have to tell John's parents. I'll take you to right after we told them everything; how it happened, how my parents took it, how Jeff took it, how John is gonna be involved, everything.
"Johnathan Felix Anthony Cena, how could you do something so careless?!" John Sr yelled
"Dad, we explained it to you. We didn't remember"
"You could have atleast used protection!" Carol yelled too
"Mom, I have never done anything like that before. I planned on waiting until I was married, so why would I have had one with me anyways?" John raised his voice. I didn't know what to do, I just stood there.
"Don't you raise your voice at your mother!" John Sr yelled again
"Sir, we're telling you the truth. Besides, it was my fault I shouldn't have had the alcohol" I piped in
"Don't even try to defend him. Sure you had the alcohol but he didn't have to drink"
"Dad, you know how you were back then, you would have done the same thing" John tried to reason with him.
"I don't care what I would have done, you shouldn't have done it"
"Atleast I'm stepping up though"
"Well step up somewhere else" Carol said
"What?" both John and I said
"You heard her. Go get your things, you don't live here anymore" John Sr followed up.
"You guys, come one. You can't do this" I said as John walked to his room to pack.
"Shut up you little slut. We can and we just did" Did he just call me a slut?
"She is not a slut! She has a boyfriend and we made a mistake, she has never slept with anybody else in her entire life! Don't call her that!" John came back out and yelled, right in his dads face. Then his mom slapped him across the face.
"Don't talk like that to your father!" Carol yelled
"Fuck this; I'll have Dan bring me my things! Let's go Steph" John said and we left to get Jeff for the show.
On the way to Jeff's…
"John, are you OK?" I asked, not sure if he'd lash out on me.
"Ya, it's just… Out of everybody, I thought my parents would understand" then John did something that I never thought I'd see him do, he started to cry.
"John, it's OK. We'll get through this"
"Where am I gonna go Steph?" he asked. I thought for a minute.
"You can move in with us"
He sucked it up and wiped his tears "Really?"
"Well you want to be a part of these kids' lives. It would be easier and plus mom is due in about a week now. We can get some practice"
"Do you think it'll be OK with them?"
"Once we explain what happened, I'm sure they won't mind"
"Alright, thanks Steph"
"No problem" I said as we parked in Jeff's driveway. After he got in I told him what happened.
"So John's gonna be living with you?" he seemed a little irked
"Ya, but he'll stay in the guest room"
"Don't worry Jeff, there won't be another incident" John confirmed
"OK" Jeff said but he was still a little weary about it.
"Babe. Did you happen to tell Amy about me being pregnant?"
"Ya, not intentionally though. I thought she already knew and I started talking about it and she seemed lost so I told her. Sorry"
"That's OK. How did she take it?"
"She's happy for you guys but she was kinda hurt that you didn't tell her" I knew it.
"She already at the arena with Randy?"
"Ya, I was on the phone with her earlier when he picked her up"
As soon as we get to the arena and walk through the doors, Amy's right there. Hurt, whatever she looked pissed.
"So when were you gonna tell me. Jeff tells me, then Randy and Bob started talking about it. Am I the last to find out?" she yelled at me.
"Ames, look I'm sorry OK. I had a lot of stuff to worry about. You were here and I was there, I would have preferred to tell you in person. Today was gonna be when I was gonna tell Jeff too but he showed up at the hotel about a month ago so I told him then. I'm really sorry" I explained
She thought for minute then gave me a hug. "I guess that's a good enough excuse. If… you show me the ultrasound pictures"
"Alright, they're in my bag" so we went to the locker room and I showed her.
"Twins!? They never told me you were having twins" she was excited
"Yes Aunt Amy, I'm having twins" I smiled
"They're gonna call me aunt?" she was shocked
"Of course" I stated, then she squealed and gave me a hug. The show was great, we all sat ringside, there are advantages to your dad being in the business. After the show dad and I went to Darci and Kim's to get all my stuff. We said our good-byes and everything.
"I will most definitely stop by here whenever I come to see the rest of the gang, don't worry" I informed them
"Will you keep calling us once a week?" Darci asked
"Of course I will" I gave Darci a hug
"Good" Kim said as I gave her a hug. As dad and I were walking out the door, we stopped in our tracks. Darci and Kim looked to see what it was.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" Darci was livid…
