Chaingang All the Way
As the two of us sat on the couch, my phone started to ring. I don't know who would be calling this early but I decided to answer it. "Hello?"
"John, where is Casey?" Crap, it was Dave.
"Why do you ask?"
"I want to talk to her."
"Not going to happen."
"What the hell, Cena? She's my sister, now put her on the goddamn phone!"
"No. She doesn't want to talk to you so I'm not going to force her."
"Just do it, Cena. I have to talk to her."
"No." I hung my phone and sighed. Casey poked me in the side and I looked down at her.
"That was Dave, I take it." I nodded. "I guess I should talk to him. He is family, after all."
"Family doesn't give up on you, Casey. That was a dick move on his part." Casey sighed and I just kissed her forehead. There was a knock on the door so I got up to answer it. It was someone from the kitchen with a food cart in front of him. I tipped him, knowing that this was going on my bill that Vince was paying for, and grabbed the food. "Food's here." Casey smiled and got up from the couch. I handed her the plate with her food on it and grabbed mine before sitting at the island to dig in. "You know, for hotel food this isn't that bad."
"Anything beats hospital food, that's for sure." I laughed.
"I bet."
"Also beats eating out of a tube, too. Hospitals just suck. If I never see one again, it will be too soon."
"Hospitals aren't all bad."
"Name one thing that is good about hospitals."
"Babies." Casey choked on her food and gave me a look. "What? It's true. Granted, you can have a baby outside of a hospital but I still think it's the safest place to have one. I'm just saying." Casey was still staring at me and I had to admit that it was a little uncomfortable. "What?"
"Babies."
"Yeah. What's wrong with babies?"
"Nothing. I just wasn't expecting that from you."
"I've seen a lot of babies lately. I don't know why. Maybe it was some kind of test or something." Casey finished her breakfast and I could feel her staring a hole in my head as I finished eating. "Casey?"
"Yeah, John?"
"Why are you staring at me?"
"No reason. I guess I'm kind of stuck on the whole baby thing."
"I have dreams about being a dad." Casey gasped. "Why is that so bad, Case?"
"It isn't, John."
"But?" Casey tilted her head at me. "I feel a but coming on. What's the but?" Casey sighed.
"I'm not going to lie, John. I've had dreams about having my own family, too."
"Really?" Casey nodded. "Is that like forbidden to you or something?"
"No. Why?"
"You get this nervous look on your face." I kept looking at her. "There it is, right there. Why are you so nervous when it comes to talking about your own family?"
"I just do. It's always been a touchy subject with my family so I avoid it."
"Dave isn't a fan of babies?"
"He loves kids. He wants a herd of him, last I heard, but he gets touchy when I start talking about them. It's probably just him trying to protect me from getting pregnant and having a kid by some loser who won't show his face anymore because he wasn't planning on having a kid or something like that. Dave's just touchy, when it comes to me. I hate it and admire it at the same time. I just wish he knew how to balance it the right way without scaring people."
"He's your brother, Casey. He has a right to be touchy about you. I know I get a little protective if someone runs their mouth."
"You do?"
"Absolutely. You mean the world to me, Casey, and I'm not going to take someone running their mouth lightly." I walked over to Casey and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"I mean the world to you, John?"
"Of course." I sat down next to Casey and pulled her in my lap. "Casey, when I first met you I knew that I was going to be crazy about you. Sure, you were a huge fan of me but that didn't matter to me. I was smitten with you and the whole fact that you were a fan was just a bonus." I watched her smile. "When I was with you, I was on top of the world and you can imagine what I'm like without you." Casey threw her arms around me and squeezed me.
"I'm never going to leave you again, John." I felt a tear roll down my cheek but then I remembered what Casey had said on Monday Night Raw. I pulled back from Casey and I could see she was on the verge of tears.
"Casey, you said that you were challenging Randy to a No Holds Barred Match at the next pay per view. How do I know that he won't do the same thing he did to you before?"
"Because I'm going to be fighting back and you'd think I would have a bit of a grudge after four years. Add that with how I feel about what he did to you and Randy will be lucky if he walks out of that arena."
