Chapter 4

They had all gotten in and to bed around 9 am. Lilyana tossed and turned. She cried out in her sleep several times. Needless to say her daddy awoke each time and comforted his precious angel. Unfortunately, this meant he got almost no sleep.

At noon, John's phone began ringing, waking him up.

"Hello?"

"John, get your butt up. We have to get to the gym. The guys are waiting for us." Randy stated.

"Ugh. I haven't gotten much sleep. What am I gonna do with Lily while we work out?" John grumbles.

"I don't know. I guess just bring her with you for today. You can talk to Vince later and get things worked out after that."

"Alright give me about 15-20 minutes to get Lily up and get us both ready." John sighs.

"See ya in the gym in 15-20 then."

John hung up his phone and got up. He decided to get himself ready before waking his daughter. He grabbed his favorite shorts and a t-shirt and headed to the shower. Once he was done and dressed, he woke Lilyana up.

"Come on Princess. You have to get up now. Daddy has to go work out with some of the other wrestlers." John told her.

Lilyana yawned and looked at her daddy sleepily.

"Morning Daddy." She said smiling at him.

"Good morning my little Princess." he said in return.

Lily sat up and let out a little cry of pain. She was definitely still sore from last night's ordeal.

"Daddy, can I have more of the ibuprofen the doctor gave me please?"

"Sure Lils here ya go." John told his daughter, handing her the pill and some water.

Lilyana took it and then got up. She decided to put on her favorite comfy outfit. After finding the clothes she wanted, she went into the bathroom to change and put her hair in a ponytail. When she came out, John couldn't help but grin. Lily was wearing a purple pair of John Cena sweatpants, a purple John Cena t-shirt and had her long red hair held up in a ponytail by a purple scrunchie. To complete the ensemble, she put on her favorite pair of tennis shoes, which just happen to look almost exactly like her daddy's.

"Wow, guess it won't be hard for everyone to figure out who you are here with." John laughed.

"Daddy! This is my favorite comfy outfit." She whined.

"Ok, Ok. Let's get going. The guys are already at the gym waiting for me."

Lily grabbed her mp3 player and followed her daddy out the door. John made sure the room was locked behind them and then led his daughter to the elevator. Normally, he took the stairs but he was running late so he decided the elevator was best for now.

Once the elevator doors opened, John and Lilyana got in. Lily put her headphones in and turned on her mp3 player. She started singing along with some of her favorite songs and John was amazed at how good she was.

"Wow Lils, you are quite the singer." he commented.

Lily blushed and replied, "Thanks Dad."

Finally the elevator stopped and they were at the gym. The gym took up the entire lower level of the hotel. John looked around and spotted the group that were waiting for him. He led Lily over to the guys.

"About time Cena. We were beginning to think you ditched us." Ted Debiase Jr. said.

"Yeah, I was wonder if you were ever going to get your lazy but out of bed." Cody Runnels aka Cody Rhodes, laughed.

"Sorry guys, I had to deal with a family emergency last night and didn't get much sleep." John explained.

"Hey broski, it's no biggie. Glad you are here now." Zack Ryder replied.

Lily just stood there watching the exchange of words. She knew who most of the guys there were due to watching wrestling all the time. She didn't just watch it because of John either. She loved wrestling and secretly hoped to one day become a WWE Diva.

"Hey isn't this chick a little too young for you John?" Paul aka Triple H, asked jokingly.

"I am his daughter, Lilyana Felicity Antoinette Cena. I am 12." Lily introduced herself, laughing.

"Nice to meet you. So John, I take it that she had something to do with the family emergency?" Paul asked.

"Yeah, I had to go get her from her mother's. Hey Randy can you keep an eye on her for a minute?"

"Sure." Randy replied.

John took Paul aside and filled him in on what had happened. Paul told John that he would speak with Vince for him about it. John was grateful. Paul also said that Stephanie, his wife, might be willing to keep an eye on the girl sometimes.

"Thanks man." John said.

"No problem. If you need anything just let me know but we better get to that work out." Paul laughed.

The two walked back over to the group. They all started their work out while Lily listened to her music and watched. She wanted to work out too so she went over to a treadmill and got on it. John wasn't happy when he realized what she was doing because the doctor said to take it easy for a couple of days. He tried calling her name but she couldn't hear him over her music. He excused himself from the group and walked up to her, getting her attention.

"Woah, Daddy, you scared me." Lily exclaimed.

"What are you doing? The doctor said for you to take it easy for a couple of days." John growled.

Lily had stopped her music and the treadmill by this time and just looked at her dad annoyed.

"Oh come on dad. I was just running on the treadmill. It isn't like I was lifting weights or something. I usually go running every morning. Mama didn't like it much but said I could but to be careful and take someone else with me. Running has been part of my daily routine for over a year now. I am trying to stay in shape so I can follow in your footsteps" she told her dad.

John looked at her, shocked. "I guess as long as you don't overdo it, you are fine. When did you decide you wanted to wrestle?"

"Daddy don't worry so much. I am a Cena after all. I was 10 when I finally realized that I want to be a WWE Diva. I think I always wanted to but didn't realize it until then. " the girl said confidently.

John just smiled and let her get back to her running. When he returned to the group, they bombarded him with questions, especially Randy.

"Relax guys, she is a Cena ya know. You can knock a Cena down, but we don't stay down for long. She just informed me that she has been running every day for over a year and she wants to become a WWE Diva. My little girl wants to be like me. She wants to be a second generation wrestler." he said proudly.

The guys chuckled and they all got back to the work out. Lily continued listened to her future entrance music, a song called Frontline by Pillar. While the music played, the little girl forgot the troubles of her past and focused on her future. She was going to be a WWE superstar just like her daddy. She was going to be the best Diva the company has ever had. She was a Cena and Cena's never give up.

When everyone was finished with the work out, John went over to Lily.

"Hey Princess. We are finished here. Are you hungry?"

"Starving!" she replied.

"Yup she is definitely a Cena." Ted remarked as the group headed to the hotel restaurant to eat.
