Chapter 8

The foursome drove on in silence for a while. Mike had dozed off and Lilyana was still sleeping with her head resting on his leg. Zack was busy on his phone texting and tweeting. John was lost in thought. After a few hours the two in the back seat awoke.

"Daddy can we stop and eat? I'm starving." Lily said.

Everyone laughed.

"What is so funny?" Lilyana asked.

"Typical Cena, always thinking about food." Mike said.

Lily punched him in the arm playfully.

"What's the matter Mini Miz? Can't handle the truth?" Mike teased.

"Whatever, I can hear your stomach growling." Lily laughed.

"Broski, I think we better get those two some food." Zack said.

John agreed and got off at the next exit. They found a waffle house and pulled in a parking space. As they were being seated, John's phone rang. It was Randy.

"Hey Orton. What's up?"

"Not much Cena. How is my goddaughter?"

"Fine other than complaining she is starving." John told him

Randy laughed. "Typical Cena. You Cenas are always hungry."

John laughed.

"Daddy, can I talk to Uncle Randy? Please?" Lily asked.

"Sure Princess. Randy, Lilyana wants to talk to you." John said and handed the phone to his daughter.

Lily took the phone and talked Randy's ear off. Randy informed her that he had a surprise for her when she got to the hotel. Lily was excited and could hardly sit still. Lily said bye to her godfather and then hand the phone back to John. John said goodbye and hung up.

They had a huge breakfast and then were back on the road.

Meanwhile, Randy had met his girlfriend Samantha and John's girlfriend Liz at the airport and was driving them to Nevada. That was his surprise for Lilyana. Not only would she be meeting her Dad's girlfriend, but his as well.

"I do hope she likes me." Liz said nervously.

"I'm sure she will like you Liz, especially when she sees how happy you make John." Randy replied.

Liz smiled and thanked him for the reassurance.

After having been on the road for another 5 hours, John decided to get some lunch. They drove through a drive through and ate in the car. Lily was enjoying the ride thus far which made John happy. As she was chatting with Zack, her cell phone rang. It was her best friend, Olivia.

"Livi! How are you? I'm fine. I miss you too. My dad and his friends are awesome. Yeah I know I sound just like The Miz when I say that." Lily said into the phone.

Mike laughed. "That's why I call her Mini Miz."

"Yes Livi that was The Miz you just heard. Dad, Zack Ryder, The Miz and I are all traveling to Reno, Nevada in Dad's car." Lily told her best friend.

She continued to chat with Olivia for a while but soon had to say bye to her. Lily was smiling when she hung up her phone.

"What has you so happy little Broski?" Zack asked.

"Oh for heaven's sake Zack I'm a girl." Lily giggled.

"I know. So what are you smiling about?" Zack replied.

"Livi said that people were jealous because I'm traveling with WWE Superstars." Lily said.

She then explained that it was the kids that had been picking on her for at least a few years that were jealous.

"They should be jealous of you, Mini Miz. You know why? Because you're AWESOME!" Mike told her, making her laugh.

The four traveled on laughing and enjoying the ride. Around 7pm they made a stop for dinner. John chose a place that they could all sit down and enjoy the meal before having to get back on the road. He also stopped to get them some snacks for the rest of the drive.

Zack took over driving so that John could get some rest. He was thankful and ended up dozing off in the passenger seat. Lily ended up falling asleep with her head on Mike again and her feet curled up on the seat.

Finally around 7am the next morning, Zack pulled into the parking lot of the hotel. He spotted Orton's Hummer and parked next to it. John stretched and yawned.

"Thanks for driving Zack."

"No problem Broski."

Mike also woke up and then woke Lily.

"Mini Miz, I know you find me comfy but you can go sleep in a bed now. We are at the hotel." Mike said shaking the girl awake.

Lilyana awoke, yawning and stretching.

"Hey Princess. We finally made it." John said.

Lily smiled and got out to stretch. The four unload their luggage and head inside to check in.

"Mr. Cena, your room is 307. Here is your key." The desk attendant told them.

John took the key and grabbed his and Lily's things. They waited for the other two to get their room keys and all rode the elevator together.

"I'm in room 311 just down the hall from you and your dad, Mini Miz." Mike said.

"I'm in room 310 across the hall from you Broski" Zack told Mike.

"I wonder what room Uncle Randy is in." Lily said.

"Room 306 right across from us Princess." John told his daughter.

Lily smiled happily as they all got off the elevator on the third floor. They came to John and Lily's room first. They said bye to their traveling companions and John unlocked the door. Lily's gasp could be heard by Mike and Zack as they she entered the room. There sitting on the couch was Uncle Randy.

"Uncle Randy!" the 12 year old yelled and ran over to him. She jumped up into lap and hugged him.

Randy just chuckled and hugged the child back.

"Ready for your surprise Lils?" he asked.
