Chapter 11

Mike stood there waiting for John to answer and he did on the third ring.

"Hi Miznan what's up?" John answered having looked at the caller id.

"Hey Cena, I need to talk to you about Mini Miz."

"What! Is she ok? Did something happen to her?" John asked anxiously.

"She is ok, but something did happen that you need to know about." Mike said in a fake calmness.

"What happened to my daughter, Miznan?"

"Apparently some of the kids at the dance felt the need to bully her. She has a hand print on her cheek where one girl slapped her. But I will leave the details for her to tell. Anyways, I was wondering if she could hang out with Zack and me for the night?" Mike said.

John couldn't believe what he heard. Some stupid kids had put their hands on his precious daughter. He was pissed. If it was the last thing he did, John would find out who these kids are and make sure that they paid for it.

"Yeah, go ahead and bring her up here to get what she needs for the night. I want to see for myself that she is ok." John finally answered.

Mike told John they were on their way and hung up. He smiled at Lily and told her that her dad said yes. Then, together, they headed up to John and Lily's room. While they were waiting for the elevator, Lily heard some kids talking not far away. She recognized the voices immediately.

"Those kids over there are the ones that bullied me." She whispered pointing at the group.

"So I was right. That's Kurt Angle's two, Dwayne Johnson's two and Lesnar's daughter." Mike told her.

Lily just shook her head. Why did everyone always choose to bully her? The elevator opened and interrupted her internal dialogue. They got on the elevator and Mike pushed the button for her dad's floor. The doors shut and they were on their way up.

Suddenly Lily started looking nervous. Mike noticed and decided he better see what was up.

"Mini Miz, are you alright?" he asked.

"Umm, do you think my daddy will punish me for hitting Jessica back?" she asked nervously.

"No of course not. Why would you think he would?" he asked her.

Lily looked up at him with a look that made him sad. There was so much hurt and sadness in her eyes. No kid should have that much sorrow at her age.

"Well, when I lived with my mother I was bullied at school all the time. When I defended myself, I got in trouble at home." Lily said with tears forming in her eyes.

"Don't worry Mini Miz. Your dad isn't gonna be upset with ya. I promise." Mike reassured her, squeezing her hand as he did.

Lily smiled. It was so nice having people that actually cared about her around. When the elevator stopped at her floor, she was feeling better. She stepped out, followed by Mike. Together they walked to the room she shared with her dad.

When she walked in, John looked up and opened his arms.

"Come here Princess. Let me make sure you are ok." He said to her.

Lily ran over to him and jumped into his arms. The hugged each other tightly for a few minutes before John pulled her away so he could look at her. He spotted the hand print almost instantly.

"Does this hurt?" He asked touching the hand print lightly.

Lily cringed and nodded.

"Yeah, a little bit. But the person that did it has a nice fat lip." Lily said smiling a little.

John chuckled. He couldn't help but be proud of his daughter for defending herself and for taking it all so well.

"I am proud of you for defending yourself." He said to his daughter.

Lily hugged him and cried. She hoped she never had to leave her dad ever again. This man loved her and was never mean to her. He didn't yell at her or punish her for defending herself.

Looking up into his eyes, she whispered, "I love you Daddy."

John smiled and said, "I love you too Princess."

With that Lilyana got up and started gathering her things for the night. As she did, John and Mike talked. Mike filled him in on who the kids were and all the things Lily had told him. They agreed that something needed to be done about it. So they decided to confront the fathers of the kids the next day.

"Okay, I'm ready. Let's go! I'm ready to kick your butt!" Lily said practically jumping up and down with excitement.

"Oh really?" Mike said raising an eyebrow at her. "And just what makes you so sure you will win?"

Lily laughed, "Because I'm The Mini Miz and I'm AWESOME!"

This statement had John, Liz and Mike all laughing as Mike tried shooing her to the door.

"Yeah well I feel sorry for Ryder then because I'm the Miz and I'm AWESOME! Poor guy don't stand a chance against us. Does he?" Mike said laughing.

"Nope." She replied.

With that they were out the door and on their way to Mike and Zack's room. When they got there, Zack was waiting for them.

"Hi Lil Broski! So I hear you are hanging with us tonight." Zack said.

Lily shook her head. She already decided to give up on reminding him that she is a girl when he calls her Broski.

"Yup and I am ready to kick your arse on the X-box 360." Lily said grinning confidently.

The three laughed and then Zack turned on the system. He put in a WWE game and handed Lily a controller.

"I got winner!" Miz said as he sat on the couch next to Lily.

"Hope you brought you A game Lil Broski." Ryder said.

"Duh, I'm a Cena and we ALWAYS bring it." Lily said. "Besides, I'm The Mini Miz and I'm AWESOME!"

Mike and Zack couldn't help but laugh. This girl was a riot. There was no doubt that she was a Cena.

Mike watched as Lily used her dad's character and kicked Zack's arse.

"Wow this girl is good Miznan." Zack said.

Lilyana laughed, smiling happily. These guys really knew how to get her mind off of things and make her happy.

Meanwhile, John and Liz decided that Randy needed to know about what happened with Lily at the dance. So they went to see them in Randy's room.

"They did what?" Randy exclaimed pissed off now. "Poor Lily. Is she ok?"

"Yeah she is doing fine. She's hanging out with Miznan and Ryder for the night. Probably kicking their asses on the X-box 360." John laughed.

The four talked a while and came up with a plan to set things straight with the bullies. Once the plan was set John and Liz headed back to their room for the night.

Lily was having a blast with Mike and Zack. She had beaten both of them several times already. She was smiling and giggling. Mike and Zack loved seeing her happy. Lilyana Cena wasn't like your typical 12 year old girl. She wasn't stuck up or way too girly. She was sweet and loved to have fun and be herself. They couldn't understand why people felt the need to bully her but they agreed that they would do everything they could to keep it from happening.

Eventually, while watching Zack and Mike play, Lilyana fell asleep with her head on Mike's lap. Zack picked her up and tucked her into his bed for the night. He would just take the couch. As he tucked her in, he couldn't help but think that John Cena was a very lucky man. He only hoped that if he ever had a daughter, she would be as great as Lily.

"Cena is one lucky guy to have her for a daughter." Mike said as is reading Zack's mind.

"You know it Broski." Zack said.

After that, they finished up their match and went to bed as well. Lily slept soundly and had great dreams. It had been a great night and one that she would treasure for years to come.

As Mike was getting into bed, he whispered, "Sweet dreams Lil sis."
