Chapter 41
Four weeks later, I was two weeks late for my period. The only person I told was John. He was as excited as I was. After taken a couple home pregnancy tests, which were all positive, John and I were one hundred percent sure that we were pregnant. To make sure it was for real, I went to the doctor and she confirmed it. I was six weeks along.
John and I gathered all his brothers, their significant others, and his parents at Cenas' one evening.
"Okay, so why are we all here?" Steve asked.
"Yeah, what's deal?" Dan asked.
"Be nice, boys," Carol said.
"We thought it would be nice to have everyone together," John said. "Everyone is so busy with their own lives."
It was true since the wedding everyone had been busy. Dan and Ally were planning their wedding for the spring. Chelsea and Steve had made the announcement on their one year anniversary that they were expecting. Matt and Kourtney had just gotten engaged too. Boog and Melissa were having fun as boyfriend and girlfriend. Plus everyone else had work and school or just work.
"We have some good news actually," I said.
"You're pregnant?!" Melissa said.
I nodded my head. "Yes, ma'am, I am. Six weeks."
"Yay!"
"Congratulations," Kourtney said.
"Yes, congratulations," Ally said.
"Oh, another little John running around," Steve said.
"Hey, there is going to be a little Steve running around," John teased.
"We can be pregnant together," Chelsea said. "It'll be so much fun."
I chuckled.
The whole Cena family was super excited. After having dinner, John and I called my parents and then Christie and Jake to tell them the news. They too were having a baby. I was excited I had one sister far away to be pregnant with, while I had another sister (Chelsea) to be pregnant with too. There was no jealousy from Christie when I told her the news. She was thrilled, because she knew how much I wanted to give Little Johnny a little brother or sister. But also he had two cousins on the way: one from Aunt Christie and Uncle Jake and then one from Uncle Steve and Aunt Chelsea.
The next day, John and I told our friends, bosses, and co-workers that we were pregnant with our second child. Amy and Torrie were super thrilled. They hoped I had a girl. Randy and Phil weren't surprised I was pregnant. They figured it out when John said he had huge news to tell them.
John and I had each told our friends separately. John told Randy and Phil separately while I told Torrie and Amy separately. I thought Torrie was going to be jealous, because she and Randy had been trying to get pregnant too. I was wrong.
"Are you kidding me?" Torrie said. "I'm completely happy for you. I have plenty of time for kids. Yes, Randy and I are trying, but it's not like we've been trying for years to get pregnant. There is plenty of time to try and see if there really is a problem. I doubt it, though."
"I hope it's a girl," Amy said. "That would be so awesome."
"Well, I'm only six weeks," I said. "I have to make it to twelve weeks to know for sure that this pregnancy is meant to be. I do not doubt it. But shit happens. It is just nature's way."
"Yes, we know that," Torrie said. "But this baby is going to make all the way and it is going to be a little brother or sister for Little Johnny."
"Damn straight and another child to call us Aunt," Amy said.
"So true. So very true."
