Chapter 23: Now

Knock knock knock knock!

"Yes….?" Randy raised an eyebrow as he opened the door, only to be greeted with John. He frowned slightly; since when did John ever wear a dress shirt and slacks?

"Get dressed," John simply commanded, his eyes wide and bright.

Randy tilted his head in confusion. "Why?" They didn't have anything planned for tonight. He was just going to hole up in his hotel room and spend the rest of the night with Sam.

"Me and Bianca are gonna get married," John answered and Randy's eyes widened.

They heard shuffling coming from inside the room, and Randy moved aside to let Sam pop her head out of the doorway. "Tonight!?" She asked, her eyes as big as the men's.

"Yeah," John nodded in confirmation with a big smile on his face. "Come on, guys…get dressed."

Sam looked up at Randy and grinned before yanking him back into the room so that they could get ready.

Knock knock knock knock!

Amy opened the door and gave a questioning smile as Bianca stood there, smiling brightly. "Um… hi?"

"Amy, I'm getting married," Bianca told her straight away.

"Okay…." Amy raised her eyebrow, not really knowing what to make of her friend. Maybe the wedding expo had made Bianca realize that she would be getting married soon. "You kinda established that a long time ago…"

"No no no," Bianca shook her head, giggling softly. "I mean I'm getting married…right now."

"Now!?" Amy stared at her in disbelief. Was Bianca pulling a prank on her? "Like, 'now' now?"

"Yes!" Bianca grinned brightly.

Amy studied her a while more to see if she was lying or not. Her face broke out into a smile as she pulled Bianca into a hug. The two girls squealed and jumped in excitement.

"Whoa, what's going on here?" Adam came out of the bedroom and stared at the girls curiously.

"Come on, babe," Amy simply said. "We have a marriage to attend to."

--

Bianca sat in the passenger seat, slightly shaking from nervousness and excitement. "So what brought this up?" Amy asked from the driver's seat as they pulled up to the courthouse. Sam, who sat in the back, leaned forward to listen to Bianca's answer as well. It was Sam's idea that the girls drive separately from the guys. "I thought you wanted to plan the wedding. Why now?"

Bianca looked at her friends and smiled. "I love him, and he loves me. So we figured, why wait?"

"Awww!" Sam squealed as she tried her best to wrap her arms around her friend. "I'm so happy for you, Bianca. You guys are so perfect for each other!"

"Yeah Bianca," Amy confirmed from where she sat. "I'm really happy for the both of you.."

Bianca's eyes slowly filled with tears. "Thanks, guys."

"What are we sitting here for?" Sam suddenly quipped. "Go get married!"

"Okay, okay!" Bianca laughed as all three girls exited the car.

--

John straightened up from where he waited at the top of the steps of the courthouse just as the girls pulled up to the curb. He felt a hand grasp his shoulder, and he turned around and smiled.

"This is it, bro," Adam grinned. John smiled back, hugging his friend. "Finally." After watching John slowly get over his heartbreak from his previous relationship, Adam knew that Bianca was John's blessing from heaven. It was about time John got to be truly happy. As the two men released their hug, Randy cleared his throat and John turned to face him.

"I know me and Bianca haven't exactly seen eye to eye," Randy started, "but she makes you happy, and that's all that matters. And I'm happy for the both of you."

John could sense the sincerity in Randy's voice, and his face broke into a wide smile as he opened his arms. "Aww, come here," he playfully said as he wrapped his arms around the Legend Killer. "Thanks, man. It means a lot," he said softly so only Randy could hear.

As they let go, John turned around just as the girls slowly ascended up the stairs towards them. John met Bianca half way and took her hands in his. "Are you ready?" He asked with a playful smile.

"Yes," Bianca smiled shyly back. "Are you ready?"

John nodded and chuckled softly. "I think I was ready for this a long time ago," he said truthfully.

Bianca squeezed his hands tightly. "Let's go." And the two headed up the rest of the stairs and into the courthouse.

--

His name was Judge Greene, he was a middle-aged man, and he was the one to marry John Cena and Bianca Evans. John and Bianca stood side by side, facing the judge as he read aloud from a book. Randy and Sam, and Adam and Amy stood behind the couple, listening to the judge as well.

It wasn't Bianca's dream wedding. She wasn't even paying attention to what Judge Greene was saying. All she could feel was John's hand securely holding hers, and all she could think of was that it was finally happening—she was getting married to John Cena. Her daydream was interrupted when John turned to face her and took both of her hands into his. Bianca's heart started to flutter as she knew what was to come.

"Do you, John Cena, take Bianca Evans to be your lawfully wedded wife?" As the judge said this, Bianca shyly glanced at John.

John held a steady gaze at Bianca and gave her a dimpled smile. "I do," he said confidently, and Bianca's face turned into a wide grin.

"And do you, Bianca Evans," the judge said as he turned to face her, "take John Cena to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do," Bianca replied boldly as she set her eyes on John.

"Then by the power invested in me by the state of Rhode Island," Judge Greene said, closing the book and glancing at the couple, "I now pronounce you man and wife."

Not a second later, John and Bianca closed the gap between them and shared a sweet, innocent kiss. As they broke apart, they both turned to face their friends. The girls crowded over Bianca, and the boys headed towards John.

As the quick celebration died down, Judge Greene handed the two their marriage licenses, which was to be signed by a witness. Not wanting to choose between her two friends, Bianca had both of the girls sign her license, and John did the same with Randy and Adam.

They thanked the judge and headed out of the courthouse as newlyweds.

"So," Randy started as they headed towards their cars. "Where's the reception at?"

They ended up at an Olive Garden, which was the nearest thing to 'fancy' that they could find at such a short notice. They were seated at a booth in the far back of the restaurant, so not to be bothered.

"So," Sam started, looking at Bianca. "What's it feel like to be finally married?"

"I don't know," Bianca shrugged, although the smile on her face hadn't disappeared since she first said 'I do'. "I guess it hasn't hit me yet…"

"Oh, don't worry, babe," John piped in, "it's gonna hit you later tonight," he grinned wickedly, and Bianca turned red as the other girls giggled.

"John," she said, hitting his arm playfully.

"You haven't even been married an hour yet and you're already abusing him?" Randy raised an eyebrow at Bianca, but the usual tension wasn't there. He was actually smiling.

Bianca made a face at him. "He deserved it," she defended, smiling sweetly at her husband.

They had spent a few good hours at the restaurant before they all made it back to the hotel. The newlyweds bid their thanks and goodbyes to the other couples before heading towards their own room.

John slid the card into the slot and Bianca reached for the knob.

"Wait." Bianca was abruptly stopped as John's arm blocked her from the door. She looked up at him curiously and yelped as John swiftly picked her up.

"Johnny!" She wrapped her arms around his neck as he led her into the room.

John kicked the door shut behind him and carried Bianca all the way into the bedroom. There, he gently lay her on the bed.

Bianca's eyes were bright and her face flushed as she watched John remove his dress shirt, a playful smile on his face. They both knew what was about to happen, and they both wanted it equally.

John slowly moved towards the bed and lay next to Bianca. "I love you, Bianca Evans Cena," he said before leaning in and kissing her passionately. He rolled over so that Bianca straddled his hips.

"And I love you, John Felix Anthony Cena," Bianca whispered, marveling at the body beneath her. Grabbing John's hands, she guided them along her body, urging him to explore, and John happily complied.

The newlyweds spent the rest of the night consummating their love. From this point on, they knew that life would only get better… Or won't it?
