Chapter 11

Later that night, Amelia put Isabella to bed and walked out to talk to John. He was looking out the window to the city and thinking about seeing Cassandra again and how angry he was that she didn't even bother to acknowledge Isabella. But then again, he was happy that Cassandra wasn't in their lives as he had Amelia and he was in love with her.

"John?" Amelia asked.

"Hi baby." John answered as he took a deep breath.

"Isabella is asleep." Amelia responded.

"Good. Come here." John stated.

"What's up?" Amelia asked.

"I owe you an explanation." John answered.

"No you don't. Seeing Cassandra didn't bother me. I know that what you had with her ended a long time ago. Isabella is an angel and I love her as if she was my own daughter and I love you." Amelia responded.

"And I love you. I do have one question for you." John stated.

"Ok." Amelia responded.

"When we get back to Tampa, I would love it if you would consider adopting Isabella." John stated as he wrapped his arms around her.

"You want me to legally adopt Isabella as my daughter?" Amelia asked.

"Yes." John answered.

"I would love to." Amelia responded.

As soon as they were back in Tampa, John and Amelia headed to the courthouse with all the documents and soon it was declared that Amelia was Isabella's legal mother. Amelia was thrilled and so was John. That night after dinner, John and Amelia celebrated their new family. Amelia couldn't wait to have her family meet John and Isabella.

A few days later, John and Amelia were packing for the next show. They were heading to Salt Lake City were Amelia's family lived. She had called her parents and told them that she was coming home for a visit and she had two big surprises for the family.

"John, are you about ready to go?" Amelia asked.

" getting the last minute items." John answered as he walked out the door and put the luggage in the back of the taxi.

"Ok. Isabella is jabbering away and teething too." Amelia responded.

"Fun. Well she is nearly 5 months old now." John stated.

Once they arrived into Salt Lake City, they headed straight to the hotel to shower and change before meeting Amelia's parents for dinner. Amelia was a little nervous about telling them that she was married and the adoptive mother of Isabella. After showers and changing the baby, they were out the door to meet her parents.

"What are your parents names again?" John asked as they walked into the restaurant.

"Richard and Doreen." Amelia answered. "And they are here."

"Are you ready?" John asked.

"Yup." Amelia answered.

They walked over to the table where Richard and Doreen were sitting and after hugging her parents she took a seat as did John who was carrying Isabella. Amelia took a deep breath and looked at her parents.

"Mom, dad, I want you to meet John Cena." Amelia introduced them. "John, this is my father Richard and my mother Doreen."

"It's nice to meet you both. Amelia has told me a lot about you." John stated.

"It's nice to meet you too. Amelia has told us nothing about you. I have to ask, who is the baby?" Doreen responded.

"This is Isabella." Amelia stated as the little girl reached for her.

"Amelia, I'm confused. What is going on?" Richard asked.

"John and I met when he brought Isabella into my clinic when she was 6 weeks old. I helped him get through some difficult times and we fell in love." Amelia answered. "John's parents came to Tampa and I met them and while they were in town, John and I got married."

"You what?" Richard asked.

"When? Why didn't you tell us?" Doreen asked.

"Isabella was about 7 and a half weeks old. We are happily married and everyone is taken care of. I've legally adopted Isabella as my daughter and I will be signing a contract with the WWE to be their main on site doctor." Amelia answered.

"Don't you think that you rushed into things a bit too fast?" Richard asked.

"I know we got married quickly, but I can't see myself without Amelia there with me. She is a wonderful person, a wonderful mother to Isabella and a loving, devoted wife to me. I didn't force her to do anything she didn't want to do. I love her with all my heart and I will do anything to make sure that she is happy and taken care of." John answered.

"Well, we just want you all to be happy and if this is what makes you happy then, we are happy for you." Doreen responded.

"Take care of her, love her and treat her with respect is all I ask for." Richard stated.

"You have my word." John responded.

As the evening went on, Doreen and Richard got to know their new granddaughter. Isabella giggled and cuddled with her grandparents. John and Amelia couldn't have been happier than they were at that moment. After dinner, Amelia, John and Isabella headed to the hotel to get some sleep before Amelia's meeting with Vince the next morning.
