Chapter 16

"Mom, dad, please say something." Amelia stated.

"We don't know what to say." Richard responded.

"Either you're happy for us or you're not. Which is it? You love Isabella and you've welcomed John into the family." Amelia asked.

"I am happy for you." Doreen stated quietly.

"But?" Amelia asked.

"But, you barely know each other, you've been married for less than a year and you have a 1 year old child who needs you. I think that you are being selfish and inconsiderate to the needs of Isabella." Richard answered.

"How dare you talk to my wife like that! She loves Isabella with all her heart and I love them both. Having a baby was our decision and not yours. I'm sorry that you feel like Amelia is being selfish and inconsiderate, cause I don't think that at all. We have more than enough love for two children and more than enough resources to take care of them." John responded as he stood up with Isabella in his arms. "Amelia, let's go."

John, Amelia and Isabella left her parents house and headed to the hotel. Amelia was visibly upset by what her parents said and John was worried about her and the baby. Amelia laid down while John put Isabella down for a nap. He walked into the bedroom of their suite and could hear Amelia crying into the pillow.

"Baby, don't cry. I'm sure they will come around to the fact that we are having a baby. I love you and our little family. I know my parents will be thrilled about having another grandchild." John tried to comfort her.

"They've changed so much since I left home. I don't know who they are anymore. What I don't understand is that a few weeks ago when they were in Tampa for Isabella's birthday, everything was fine, but now everything is different." Amelia responded as she dried her face. "And I love you and our family too."

"I don't know what happened either. Eventually it will come out and we will just have to go on from here. When they decide to change for the better, we will see what happens. But for now, I want you to relax and not worry about them. It's not good for you or our baby." John stated as he placed a kiss to her forehead and wrapped his arms around her.

Later that evening after Isabella was up from her nap and John and Amelia had a chance to take showers, they headed down to the hotel restaurant for dinner. As they walked in, they spotted Randy, Mike Mizanin, and Ted DiBiase Jr sitting at a table. Randy waved to them to come over and join them. John helped Amelia sit down and grabbed a high chair for Isabella.

"Stephanie was looking for you both earlier." Randy stated.

"I will call her after dinner. We went to see my parents this afternoon." Amelia responded.

"Ok. You don't look to happy about that." Mike stated.

"It wasn't a good visit." Amelia responded. "But that's in the past and I just want to enjoy dinner with my friends and family."

"Good idea." Ted stated.

Everyone enjoyed dinner and Randy was about to walk outside to smoke, when Amelia told him about the mandatory testing taking place the next day at the arena. Randy groaned and headed outside. Amelia couldn't help but laugh at Randy's reaction. She hoped that she didn't have to report anyone like she had to the week before.

Once they were back in their room, Amelia called Stephanie and talked to her. Stephanie told Amelia that she would have a new assistant starting tomorrow. Amelia was thankful as between the drug testing and the injuries, she was getting overwhelmed quickly. Stephanie also told her that she hired two new trainers who were qualified to assist with minor injuries. Amelia thanked her and hung up the phone.

The next day was a busy day, Amelia and John headed to the arena with Isabella and Amelia went straight to the medic station to start off that days drug testing. Amelia had been there all of an hour and her new assistant was nowhere to be found. Amelia worked on getting the samples tested and printed out. So far everyone was clean and good to go.

"Amelia, I'm glad I found you. Where is your assistant?" Stephanie asked.

"I don't know. I haven't met them yet. I've been here for an hour now processing samples and he or she has yet to show up. What is their name?" Amelia asked as a group of male stars walked in. "Hold that thought."

Amelia handed each of them a kit and as they came out she marked their names on it. It seemed to take forever to get through the line of male stars. Randy was the last one to arrive and after giving his sample, he took a seat as he wanted to talk to Amelia. Stephanie was flipping through all the results and still wondering where Amelia's assistant was.

"Ok. Now what is my assistant's name?" Amelia asked as she sat down in her chair.

"Cassandra Rockford. But she wants to go by Cassie." Stephanie answered. "Bring me Orton's when its done. I need to head to my office."

"Oh ok." Amelia responded as she pulled out her phone and sent John a text.
