Disclaimer: I only own Evie.

A/N: A HUGE thank you to everyone who read and reviewed, I love you all! Sorry for the long wait on this update, I was working on something other stuff. I promise, I'll be back to regularly updating this and Your Guardian Angel. The next chapter skips ahead into two months, which means we're starting to near the end. Enough babbling, go and read! Enjoy & review!

John smiled down at his fiance who was still sleeping. Smiling, he trailed his finger down her bare back and couldn't help but think about how far they have come in such a short amount of time. While, others might have thought they were rushing, he thought otherwise. Things always work out differently and it just so happened that he and Evie worked out the way they did. Now, that they had a date set, John was excited to make her his. No more worries about losing her. He finally found the right one from him and vice versa. Nothing could change that.

Evie bit down on her lower lip, trying to suppress a small giggle. She didn't want him to know that she was awake. If he knew she was up then he would spend ten minutes getting her out of the bed to get her to go to the gym with him. She swore he was like a shark stalking its prey when he had knowledge of her being awake.

"I know you're awake, baby." John whispered in her ear. "I heard you giggle."

Evie bit down on her tongue and shut her eyes tight. She didn't want to be up so early, considering it was only a couple of hours since they had decided to sleep.

"Evieee." He playfully whined, rubbing his cheek against her bare shoulder. "Get up, I wanted to show you something."

She remained tightlipped and unmoving. The only thing John wanted to show her this early in the morning was the gym and she wasn't having it. Nope, not this time. It was their day off and she wanted to relax with John and his family.

"Baby, get up. I know you're awake." He started pulling the sheet away from her upper body. "If you don't get up right now, I'm just going to rip the sheet off you and have my way with you."

Evie couldn't hold her laugh back and was quick to throw her hand over her mouth when she realized how loud she was. Great, now everyone heard and probably thought that her and John were canoodling in his old room.

"Promise." Evie turned over and brought the rest of the sheet down her body.

John bit his lip and lowly growled. There was nothing more he would love to do than ravage her then, but there was something he really needed to show her. "Definitely later." He promised. "As much as I hate for this to end, we both need to get up and get dressed."

"I'm so comfortable laying here next to you." Evie pouted, covering herself up. "Let's just stay in bed all day and not do anything."

"As tempting as that sounds baby, I really want to show you this." John got off the bed. "Please be up when I get out the bathroom."

Nodding her head, Evie sat up and watched as he slid his shorts on and exited the room. When he was gone, she sighed and stared down at the ring on her finger. Everything was moving so fast that she barely had a chance to catch her breath. At every turn there was something new and she wouldn't change it for the world. Smiling at the thought of her now upcoming wedding, she got out of bed. Maybe, she could be ready for him just this once. After all, he did deserve it more than anything.

Ted was trying really hard not to beat his head against the wall. What was he thinking bringing Kristen back into his life? He had almost forgotten how bat shit crazy she was. If she wasn't attached to his side, then she was constantly calling and texting him every fifteen minutes. Point blank, she was driving the young wrestler up the wall.

"I still can't believe you got back together with her." Mike was stunned. When Ted had broken the terrible news, he started laughing, but then quickly stopped when he saw he was being serious. "You knew she was crazy when you broke up with her, so why start seeing her again?"

Ted didn't want to tell either of his brothers the truth. The idea of using Kristen to make Evie jealous sounded absolutely ridiculous to him. He was in too deep now and there wasn't much he could do. Kristen would do until he had gotten Evie to cave. The looks that Evie was giving them on the night she found out told Ted that he was doing the right thing. She would be his again. It was only a matter of time.

"I can't believe that psycho is going to be around again." Brett whined. "Hate is such a strong word to use, but really Ted, I can't stand the girl. She's texted you fifteen times in the last ten minutes and its clear that you're annoyed. You should be with Evie."

"You think I don't know that?" Ted flared, clearly upset.

"Then go to her." Mike threw a pillow at his troubled brother. "Tell her how you feel and take it from there."

"Easier said than done."

"What does that mean?"

"It means that I've already lost her and this time for good." Ted admitted. "She's engaged to John."

His brothers sat back in surprise. Neither seemed to be able to digest the news. Evie had gotten engaged to someone she hadn't been with for too long. It felt like she had just started seeing the guy a week ago.

"Engaged? Am I hearing right? Evie is engaged to John."

"You heard right."

Leah, Brett's wife who was in passing, stopped and turned into the den. She had been mildly aware about what has been going on and she was curious to see what, if anything, had changed. Ted was a total sweetheart and she remembered loving Evie as a sister when she was younger. To see that Ted wanted to be with her made Leah's heart melt. It was sweet to see that he was still in love with Evie after so many years had passed by.

"Let me get this straight, she's engaged and you're doing nothing?" Leah jumped in.

"Is that so hard to believe?

The blonde nodded her head and stared at her brother in law like he was crazy. "You and Evie have got a past together and no matter how hard either one of you try, you can't ignore it. The love you have for each other never dies. There's a reason why you were brought together again."

The DiBiase brothers stared at the petite blond and wondered how she could have possibly felt so strongly about stuff that had happened when she and Brett were ten or eleven.

"You told her what happened?" Ted smacked his little brother upside the head. "I told you not to tell anyone."

Brett rubbed the back of his head and backed away from his older brother. "She's my wife, I want to tell her these things. Besides, she can probably help a lot better than we can. I mean, really, just look at Mike's record. He can't keep a girl to save his life."

"I resent that!" The eldest DiBiase remarked, tossing a pillow in his youngest brother's direction. "This isn't even about me, its about him and his desire to get Evie back. I love Evie to death. She's a total sweetheart. Doing anything to get her back with Ted is better than having Kristen around again."

Leah sat down on the armrest of the chair where her husband was sitting, momentarily perplexed. "Really, the best you can do is Kristen? You're back together with her cousin. Oh God, this isn't going to end well."

"What are you babbling about, Leah?" Mike wondered.

"Wow, you guys are really dumb."

"Hey!" Brett exclaimed.

"I love you." She smiled, then turned away from Brett. "Guys, I'm surprised you guys haven't noticed this. He's using Kristen to make Evie jealous. His reasoning is if she gets jealous then her old feelings for him would resurface, making her second guess her relationship with John."

"I'm not doing that." Ted tried to lie.

"Don't lie to me, Ted." Leah smirked, resting her hand on her thigh. "I'm a girl, I know these things. Besides, anytime anyone mentions Kristen, you cringe. The look on your face turns sour and you try to hold your anger back."

Brett and Mike looked at Leah and then turned their attention towards Ted. He kept skipping his eyes away from them, which told the brothers that Leah was right in her assumption. He was using Kristen for some sort of leverage against Evie.

"Are you using Kristen?"

"She was the only person I could find that would get under her skin." He admitted, looking at his feet.

"Hallelujah!" Brett shouted. "I seriously thought you were with her for a second there. How come you didn't tell us?"

"Thank God, man. I thought I was going to have to deal with her again." Mike rested his hand on his heart. "While, you're doing this, don't bring her near the family. We'd all appreciate it."

"You guys don't have problem with this?"

"No. Do whatever you can to get Evie back." Mike smiled and Brett nodded in agreement.

Leah shook her head back and forth, knowing that what the boys were saying was wrong. Sometimes making a girl jealous did work, but more often than not, it didn't. There was always a set back causing everything to go awry.

"This'll never work." Leah interrupted. "Cases like this don't work out very well. If anything, it pushes the girl to the other guy. You being with Kristen will cause Evie to get even closer to John. They're engaged now, Ted. Obviously, it is really serious between them. If you continue to shove that weirdo down her throat, Evie will turn away from you and be married to John faster than you can snap your fingers."

"Way to be positive, Leah." Brett patted her knee. "That's the way to think."

"I'm being realistic here guys. Listen to me, Ted, stop doing what you're doing and try to get Evie back the right way. You think that by hurting Evie she'll come back to you, but let me tell you, she won't. Be yourself and try to sit down and talk with her."

"He's got to fight for her."

Leah bit down on her lower lip. "I tried helping, but clearly, none of you will listen. Ted, do whatever you want to do. But, I'm warning you, she will run to John."

"They don't have a date set yet." Ted smirked.

"They will eventually." Leah got up, leaving the three brothers alone.

When she was gone they sat in silence digesting her words. All of them trying to figure out if Leah was right or not. Neither of them were sure or unsure. At this point, nobody had any control, not even Ted. Whatever happens, happens.

"What is this place?" Evie wondered.

The house that loomed before them was in an area similar to where John's childhood home was. Maybe about fifteen minutes away from there to be exact. It was a two story family house, nothing like what John had down in Florida. Unlike that house, this one had a homey vibe to it. One that would make anyone feel welcome.

John grabbed her hand and led her up the porch steps. He had hoped she would catch onto what this place was. For months he had searched high and low for the perfect place and finally he had found it. After setting the date, he knew that now was the perfect time to show her what he hoped she would fall in love with as fast as he did.

Evie broke her hand away from his and stepped away. The porch look freshly painted and clean. A porch swing to her left gave her a sweet vibe that she couldn't help but enjoy. Sighing, she walked further away only to discover that the porch wrapped around the entire house. Before she knew it, she was facing the large backyard.

"Oh my God." Her hand fluttered to her chest. "This is beautiful."

There was more room in the backyard than anyone could know what to do with. So many things could be done to make it kid friendly or adult friendly. Options were endless and Evie was even more in love with the place than she was before. Too bad this was probably one of his friend's houses or something, she thought. Sighing, she ran her hand against the wooden railing as she walked around the other side of the porch. Before she knew it, Evie was by John again.

"What do you think?"

"This place is beautiful."

John smiled, lacing his hand with hers once more. She still hadn't caught onto anything yet. Without saying anything, he pulled the key out and unlocked the door. He pushed the door open and stepped aside, giving her room to enter first.

Evie gently smiled and walked past John. The sight nearly took her breath away. Very much like the outside, the inside of the house was spacious. The staircase was to her left and curved as it went up. To the right of the staircase was a little hallway. As she walked down the hall, she noticed a door under the staircase. Curious, she opened the door to discover that it led down to the basement.

This went on for the next twenty minutes, they silently explored every corner of the downstairs. Evie was amazed by the vast sizes of the living room, dinning room, and kitchen. The downstairs was gorgeous, so she could only imagine what the upstairs looked like.

"I love this house." Evie said out loud, following John up the stairs.

"Really, babe?"

"Its gorgeous. I wish we could live here."

Adjusting his hat, John waited for her on the landing and together they explored the upstairs. Very much like the downstairs, the rooms were grand. Evie discovered that there were five bedrooms on the upper level and one more room hidden towards the back of the house.

"I like how your friend has the house decorated." Evie remarked, looking around the secret room as she now called it. "Are we here to feed a cat or water a plant, something of that nature?"

John chuckled, pulling the brunette towards him. "You're so cute, do you know that?"

"What?"

"I just love you so much right now." John whispered, leaning down to press his forehead to hers. "Words cannot express how much I can't wait until December. I just can't wait to start my life with you. Its only four months away, but it seems so far off. Everything does. Especially with us moving in here and all."

She slightly pulled away from John and looked up in his eyes. "We're moving in here?"

John nodded his head.

"You've already gone through all the necessary paperwork to get the house?"

Again John nodded his head.

"Who's stuff is this?"

"The family who lives here." John laughed, leading her to a room. "They're starting to move out. Hopefully, you and I can start moving in as soon as they're gone."

"I'd love that." Evie followed John back down the hall.

"And this, I was hoping could be the nursery." John pushed the door open, allowing her to peak inside. "If we decide to have kids that is. Our room would be across the hall which means that we would be close by should anything happen."

A small smile graced her face as she stepped inside the room again. The room definitely did have a nursery feel. She could almost picture the set up of the room. One look at John and she could see them in the room together cooing over a little baby.

"We don't have to have kids if you don't want to, Evie." He stepped towards her. "I completely understand if you don't."

Evie wiped away a stray tear and wrapped her arms around John. While, she could see them having kids, she didn't want any. Not because she didn't love kids, but because she was afraid. Two kids of hers had been lost forever, so what could happen if she and John tried for any? The possibilities of bad things happening were endless and she didn't want her or John to worry.

"I love you so much." She cried.

"I just want to make you happy."

"You have." She replied, planting a kiss on his lips.

"This home then?"

Evie broke away from him and looked out the window. An image of her and John in the backyard popped into her head and she smiled.

"This is home." Evie agreed, feeling happier than ever.

A/N: They're just so sickeningly cute. Who do you think Evie should be with?
