A/N: A big thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed, you guys are the absolute best. Enjoy & review!
"Do you know how you're going to make her jealous?" Cody asked, seeing the satisfied look on his friend's face.
"I'm going to use a girl to make her jealous." Ted said, stating the obvious.
"You're shitting me." He said, sarcastically. "I knew you were going to use a girl to make her jealous you idiot. What I meant was who."
The smirk that was on Ted's face disappeared. He hadn't gotten further than how she was going to react to everything. The furthest he got was that she was going to be his and John would be out the picture. Who he would use was the last person on his mind. When in all actuality, that should have been the first.
"You know, I don't know." Ted said defeated. "Well, we can throw that idea out the window. It was a good one while it lasted. Thanks, Cody."
"I'm really starting to see why you guys didn't last." Cody said, his wisdom coming through.
"Oh and why is that?"
"You gave up too easy. Chances are she probably wanted you to fight for your relationship and you didn't."
"I didn't give up on her."
"Oh no? I beg to differ. She tried to make the relationship work, Ted. She put every fiber in her being trying to save everything, while you put none. Face it, you never cared. You only care now because she's with Cena."
"That's not true!" Ted exclaimed. "Cody, I love her! I was young, stupid and afraid. I want Evie back and I'll get her back if it's the last thing I do." He said, a lot more calmly now.
"Good." Cody smirked. "Now, who can you use?"
"I don't know man."
The two men started to throw names back and forth.
"Maryse." Cody suggested.
"Out of the question." Ted said without hesitating. "Her and Evie are best friends. It would never work."
"Okay, so she's a no." Cody replied. "How about Barbie?"
His face scrunched up in disgust. From the moment he met her, he had never liked her. Not only was she stupid, she was also stuck up.
"I don't like her." He said. "Besides, I like brunettes."
Cody let out a sigh of frustration. They had been throwing names back and forth for the last hour and half and there was something wrong with every girl they had named. He was beginning to see that Ted was a picky guy and if he kept it up, then he would really end up alone.
"Well, too bad for you." Cody said, tossing his phone aside. "A good portion of the divas here are blonde. There's probably a grand total of five brunette divas working in the company. You're pretty much screwed."
He was really beginning to hate this idea. How was he supposed to make Evie jealous if he couldn't find a girl to use? There had to be someone out there for him to use and discard without them realizing his true intentions. Sure, it was an asshole thing to do, but it would help him get Evie back. Suddenly, a thought hit him.
"I have the perfect person." He smiled. "She'd be perfect for this entire thing."
"Who?"
"You'll see." Ted smirked, liking where all of this will lead. "Sit back, Cody, and you'll see."

Evie and John were up early the next morning. They each took turns using the bathroom to get ready. When they were done, they packed up their things and checked out the hotel. They would spend the next two days staying at his dad's house.
"How are you feeling?" John asked once they were on the road. "Nervous?"
"I'm a little nervous." She admitted. "I don't know what to expect from your family. This is the first time I'm meeting them and I don't want to mess anything up. First impressions are a big deal, they usually mean the most."
Just for a second, he took his eyes off the road to catch a look of panic on her face. With a shake of his head and a quick laugh, he turned his attention back to the road. Leaving his left hand on the steering wheel, he grabbed her hand with his right one and lightly pressed his lips to her knuckles.
"Baby, you have nothing to worry about."
"How do you know?" She untangled her hand from his.
"Because my family has been hearing about you nonstop. I feel like they have grown to love you just from hearing about you." He smiled. "Just be your usual dazzling self and they'll love you on first sight."
She only nodded her head as she leaned back into her seat. Everything would be okay, she reassured herself. She had heard many things about his dad and brothers. From what she heard they sounded like great people. There was no need to panic.
"I'll be okay."
"You will." He reassured her.
"But, John-"
"No, Evie, everything will be okay. My family doesn't bite, I promise."
"And what if something happens?" Evie inquired.
"Hmm." John thought as he turned onto the street that would take him to his childhood home. "Well, that's a very big if and I doubt anything will happen. But, if anything were to happen, then no sex for me for a week."
Her eyebrow shot up quizzically. John Cena without sex, she didn't think that was a possibility. Her going without sex wasn't even a possibility. They were like two rabbits whenever they were alone. She giggled at the thought.
"What's so funny?"
"You can't go without sex." She laughed. "Whenever we're alone we're like two rabbits."
"We're alone now." He smirked, knowing damn well that she was right.
"But, we're also in a car." She pointed out, matching his smirk with her own. The entire conversation had taken a strange twist and she wasn't sure if she liked it or not. "So, you baby, can suck it."
John looked out at her from the corner of his eye and smiled. He loved that she was going home with him. It finally felt like she was his and he didn't have to worry about anything anymore. When he admitted that he loved her, he was afraid she would freak out or say thank you, but she didn't. It made him happy to know that she reciprocated his feelings. Ever since Liz, he was a little iffy about admitting his feelings too soon, but with Evie he couldn't wait. He wanted her to know and now that she did it felt like a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders.
"Okay, so we know what happens if something bad happens." He chuckled, knowing full well that nothing was going to happen. "But, what happens if everything goes well?"
Now it was her turn to dwell on what would happen. She continued to think and finally got a thought just as they pulled into the driveway.
"If nothing bad happens, then you get sex every night for a week." She suggested.
"I like that." He said, wiggling his eyebrows. "How many times a day?"
Evie scrunched up her eyebrows and shook her head at her boyfriend. Despite herself, she smiled and leaned over and pecked him on the lips. She pressed her forehead to his and looked directly into his eyes. She was feeling something different this time around and she loved it.
"Depends on how good you are."
"Mmm, have I told you I love you."
"Yes, you have." She smiled, getting out the car.
She stood outside the car and looked at the house before her, while John got their bags out the trunk.
"Are you ready?" He asked, grabbing her hand with his free one.
"As ready as I'll ever be." She replied, as they walked up to the front door.

As John promised, everything was okay. His brothers and parents were total sweethearts. It hadn't taken her long to fall in love with all of them. The whole day was filled with jokes, pranks, and laughs. She was having so much fun, she had barely been able to think about Ted, work, or her miscarriage.
"I don't like you anymore." Dan, John's oldest brother, joked.
"And why is that?" Evie smiled, snuggling into John's side.
"Because you don't like basketball."
"It's pointless. I don't see the entertainment in guys running up and down a court bouncing a ball. It's boring to me."
"Says the professional wrestler." Dan teased.
"Hey!" John exclaimed. "I take offense to that." He said, jokingly of course.
"At least we're entertaining." Evie smirked.
"Yeah, they're made for each other." Dan said to his three younger brothers and dad, completely ignoring John and Evie.
Sighing, John got up and then helped Evie up. "Well, we're going to turn in for the night. I'm getting her up early to show her around."
"Night guys." Evie smiled, grabbing John's hand.
When they were a good distance away, the remaining Cena men all smiled and nodded their heads. Evie was perfect for him and vice versa.
"I like her." Matt said.
Everyone else agreed with him.
"Looks like he finally found who he was looking for." John's father said with a smile. "I don't think we have anything to worry about anymore. They couldn't be anymore better for each other."
When they reached John's old room, she instantly hugged him and held him tightly. "I'm glad we came here."
"I told you there was nothing to worry about."
"It was just my nerves getting the best of me." She admitted. "I had a great time with your family today. Especially your brothers, those crazy bastards."
"They like you too."
"How do you know?"
"They wouldn't have been so buddy buddy with you if they didn't like you. And they let you get away with stealing a few beers from them. I remember when Liz did that, they made her go out and buy four different cases."
"Lucky they like me then." She said, liking the fact that his family liked him.
"Very lucky." He walked over to the door and locked it. "Now, about our deal." He said walking towards her, his lust clearly clouding over his eyes.
