Chapter 19
After getting home and telling John's parents that they were having a boy, the five of them headed out for an early dinner. Isabella noticed that Amelia was starting to get rounder and while waiting to be seated at the restaurant, Amelia walked over to her mommy and kissed her stomach. Amelia just smiled and picked up her little girl and hugged her.
"Have you thought of any names for the baby?" Carol asked once they were seated.
"Not yet. We wanted to wait until we knew what we were having before talking about names." Amelia answered.
"Baby, momma?" Isabella asked.
"Soon sweetie. You are going to be a big sister to your little brother." Amelia answered as she placed a hand on the baby who was now moving around.
"Are you ok?" John asked.
"Yeah. He's moving around a lot right now." Amelia answered as she took John's hand and placed it on her stomach.
"Wow he is strong." John responded.
"Yes he is. Carol, would you like to feel him kicking?" Amelia asked.
"I would love to." Carol answered as Amelia placed her hand right where the baby was kicking.
"He really is strong. I remember when I was pregnant with John. He was strong enough to bruise me internally." Carol responded.
"Mom!" John stated.
"Well, it's true. You and all your brothers were like that." Carol responded.
"I guess he takes after his daddy." Amelia stated.
"No MY Daddy!" Isabella stated angrily.
"Sweetheart, yes he is your daddy, but he is the baby's daddy too." Amelia responded. "And Daddy will love you both no matter what and so will I."
"No Baby!" Isabella stated with her arms crossed.
John and Amelia just exchanged looks and didn't say anything. After dinner, they all headed back to the house and John put Isabella to bed. While he was tucking her in, she glared at him and pouted.
"Isabella, please stop that." John told her.
"No Baby!" Isabella stated.
"Do you think that momma and daddy will love the new baby more than you?" John asked.
"Yes!" Isabella answered.
"Well, let me tell you something. No matter what, momma and daddy will love you and your brother just the same, not less and not more. We have more than enough love for the both of you." John told his daughter.
"Okay." Isabella responded before hugging John and laying back down.
John turned off her light and closed the door before heading downstairs to join his wife and parents. After getting something to drink for himself and Amelia, they started talking about the new baby and they threw some names around.
"Brandon?" Amelia asked.
"No. Vincent?" John answered.
"We are not naming our son after Mr. McMahon. Trevor?" Amelia asked.
"Maybe. Tyler?" John answered.
"Maybe." Amelia stated.
"Chase?" Carol asked.
"I don't want our son to have the same name as a bank." John answered.
"Matthew?" Amelia asked.
"Maybe. Michael?" John suggested.
"Too popular. I have an idea." Amelia stated.
"And what is that?" John asked.
"How about we name him after his daddy?" Amelia answered.
"You want to name him after me?" John asked. "Why?"
"Well, yeah. You're his daddy and we all love you very much." Amelia answered. "And it would be giving him an honor to be named after such a wonderful man."
"Babe.." John tried to protest.
"Just think about it. If you really don't want to name him after you, then we will come up with something else." Amelia told him.
"Alright." John stated.
That night after heading to bed, Amelia was asleep against John with her head on his chest. John placed a hand on her growing stomach and the baby kicked him. John talked to the baby asking him if he wanted to be named after his daddy. The baby kicked again. John thought about it for most of the night and he liked the idea of having a mini him running around the house. John finally closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next morning, John was the first one up and as the coffee was brewing, Carol walked into the kitchen and smiled at her son. John got down two cups and poured the coffee before sitting down at the kitchen table. John smiled back at his mom and she knew that John was really happy and she couldn't wait for newest member of the Cena family to arrive.
