John was making funny faces at Logan while Fabo eyed him from across the kitchen. "I'll be damned if you make me a grandfather again before putting a wedding band on that young lady's finger".
"Dad as far as I'm concerned Ashley and I are already married which means that her family is my family and you always taught us kids that there was nothing more important than family" he outsmarted the older man with one of his own life lessons. He smirked proudly at himself as he watched his father desperately try to think of a comeback.
"Just marry the girl already" he huffed walking away.
John rolled his eyes and continued to make Logan laugh. "Don't mind him sweetie he's just a grumpy old man".
"I heard that" the older man yelled from the other room.
"I'm shaking in my sneakers Fabo" the younger man retorted.
"Leave Fabo alone" Ashley defended the old man emerging from the back of the house fully showered with a towel on her head. She headed towards the fridge and pulled out a bottle of apple juice. She retrieved a clean cup from the dish rack on the counter and poured herself some. Then she hopped up onto the counter content on taking in her surroundings.
"Why does he get to start it and I get yelled at?" John asked giving his fiancée a kiss good morning.
"Cause he's Fabo and there is no other reason needed" she turned her head to smell the air. "John Cena Sr. if I come in there to discover that you are smoking I swear I will rain down the fires of hell upon you and you won't like me very much when I am angry!"
"Woman get off my case already I'm a grown man … I created the man you are going to marry so without me you'd be SOL"
"Or I could have always met and married Randy" she countered shuddering. John winced as well, he didn't want to have to think about that.
"Who's getting married?" Dommy asked. She was just getting in which was odd for her and Randy usually they were homebodies.
"Apparently Ashley and Randy would have been married if I was never born" John informed her.
"That's funny because I happen to know that it is actually me and Randy who are getting married" she showed them the sparkling diamond that now sat on her ring finger.
Ashley, speechless for once, hopped off the counter and hugged her cousin tightly. The speechlessness didn't last long once the man in question walked into the house and there was yelling and celebrating. A sleepy-eyed Dean and Phinnigan came out of their room to see what was going on.
"Why is everyone yellin?" Dean asked yawning.
"Dean … I have some very important news to tell you" Randy knelt down so he was the same height as his son. "I asked Dommy to be my wife which means that she's going to be your new mom"
"I don't want a new mom" he yelled. "Auntie Ashley is my mom … and I don't want another one". He boys protested running away from his father and slamming his bedroom door.
"Awkward" Ashley remarked.
All eyes were on her now "What … I didn't ask him to freak out like that or anything … and you Randal should have consulted him before making such a big decision … no offense cousin … because it is not only your lives you are affecting this is just as much about him as it is about you" she scolded the other adults in order to save her own ass.
"Ash is right Randy" Dommy admitted.
Ashley breathed a sigh of relief. She crossed her arms and put on her most stubborn face, the one that dared people to mess with her. She couldn't stop herself, she was on a roll. "You should know better Randal"
"This is pure BS … she's only scolding you guys cause she doesn't want you guys to be mad at her" Fabo interjected.
"Fabo you are heading for a home" she threatened. Then she placed her hands back on her hips in a justifying manner. "But he is right … I do everything for that little boy so it is only natural for him to think I'm his mom … screwed up yes … but true none the less … now everything is going to change and that is probably scaring the hell out of him so instead of getting mad at me why don't you guys go talk to him".
"I'll go talk to him" Randy turned and left the kitchen.
"Don't even give me that look Domonique Marie"

"Dean can we talk?" the lump under the covers of Dean's bed did not move. But his hand stuck out from under the covers in it was the remote to his Ipod dock. He hit the power button and Jai Ho from the Slumdog Millionaire blared from the speakers. Randy sent a weirded out look towards the lump under the bed. "Please Dean talk to me" Randy crawled into bed with his son grabbing the remote from him and shut the music off.
"Talk to me …"
"No"
"Please Dean … Daddy doesn't want you to be mad at him"
"Too bad"
"Dean I love you and I know that I should have consulted you first but you gotta cut me some slack kiddo I'm still very new at this" he reasoned. "I'm not used to having to check every little action with another person." Dean sniffled but remained silent.
"But nothing is going to change I know you think of Auntie Ashley as your mommy and in a way she is but you love Dommy and I love her too so why not let her into our family?" he reasoned.
"I don't want a new mommy"
"Ok … well how about you just have a Dommy" Dean looked at him skeptically. "You can take your time with everything but I need my best man to be in the wedding".
"Best man huh?" Dean asked.
"If you still want to think of Ashley as your mom that's fine but don't be mean to Dommy because she loves the both of us ok"
"Uh huh" he nodded.
"We cool?" Randy asked.
"Maybe"
"I love you Dean"
"I love you too Daddy" he wrapped his arms around the Legend Killer's neck.
"We've been through a lot together kid and you gotta remember that I always have your best interest at heart because I'm your dad and that is my job".
