Six weeks later, Jaycee was sitting in the nursery at the hospital holding Ethan. In the six weeks he'd been there, he'd gained nearly three pounds. They were planning on running the final tests and everything looked good, he'd finally get to go home.
"The doctor said he could go home tomorrow." John said walking up. "All of Ethan's tests are fine. They just want to keep him one more night and then he can go home."
"I can't wait to have our little man home. You got the nursery finished right?"
"Phil and Charlie are finishing up now."
"Good. You remembered all the sports stuff right?"
"Yes. I know you wanted the whole room done in the sports theme."
"Well it suits our son. You love sports and I know you want Ethan to also. So it makes sense."
"Yeah. Well it should be done by the time you and Ethan get home tomorrow."
She smiled and looked down at their son. "We're going home little man. And I promise we will always take care of you." John smiled. Jaycee was going to be an excellent mother.
Charlie looked at the nursery as they were putting up the wall décor. "It looks like the New England Patriots and Boston Red Soxs decorated this room. Why the sports theme?"
"Your brother I'm sure." Phil replied. "When we have kids, how would you want their room decorated?"
"Something neutral. Like maybe a sage green wall color and some zoo animals or something. You think about us having kids one day?"
"Well, we are getting married so it's logical to think we will someday. And I don't want to know the sex of the baby. I would rather be surprised."
"Alright. I can live with that."
"Great. Now, let's finish this because it needs to be ready by tomorrow."
Carol and John Sr arrived at the hospital with John's grandparents to see Ethan. They were excited to see him. They walked to the nursery and smiled when they saw Ethan in his bassinet.
"I was wondering when you would come Gram." John said walking up to them and hugging his grandparents.
"Well we were out of town and now we're back and I want to hold my great grandson." She smiled.
"Of course. Gram, this is Ethan." He motioned for the nurse to bring Ethan out. He gently handed him to his grandmother.
"Oh he's precious." She smiled. "He has the Cena dimples. I can tell already."
"And how do you know that?" John laughed.
"I can just tell. He's going to be a little heartbreaker." She smiled. "I see the Cena dimples and I bet he has Jaycee's brain and strength. And I bet he has your athletic ability too."
"So what does all that mean?"
"It means you have one very smart, handsome, strong, athletic little boy. And he is a blessing for you and Jaycee." She smiled. "Speaking of her, where is she?"
"She's resting in the room. They both go home tomorrow."
"I want to see her."
"I'm sure she will love that." John smiled as his grandmother put Ethan back in the bassinet and they headed to the room where Jaycee was.
Jaycee smiled when they opened the door and she saw John's grandmother. "I was wondering when you would come and meet your great grandson."
"I came to see all of my babies." She hugging her.
Jaycee smiled. "So, what did you think of Ethan?"
"He's handsome like all Cena men." She replied. "And I'm sure he has your brain. So he will be smart and handsome. A real heartbreaker."
Jaycee laughed. "I'm sure he will be.'
"I'm proud of you you know. You and John. You've been through some tough times but you've stuck together and you'll make it."
Jaycee smiled. "I think so too. I can't imagine my life without him."
"I always knew you were the girl for him."
"Really?" Jaycee smiled.
"Oh honey, I knew it from the time you guys were little. I saw the writing on the wall. You were so cute trying to get John to not be such a boy and play with you. I knew you like him then and despite his reluctance, John knew it too. He just chose not to see it."
"But I wised up. And now, I will never let her go." He said walking in.
"Well that's good to know." She smiled. "Now, I have seen my great grandson and grandson and granddaughter. So now I need to see my other granddaughter and grandson. Where are Phil and Charlie?"
"They're finishing up the nursery for Ethan. He came so early that we didn't' get a chance to finish it. So they are putting the final touches on it."
"I think I'll stop by and take them some lunch." Gram said.
"I think they would like that. I will drive you." Carol said to her and they headed out. They drove to the apartment building after stopping for lunch and headed in.
Carol knocked on the door of John and Jaycee's and waited for someone to open it. Charlie came to the door and smiled at her mom.
"Hi, mom and Gram." She said hugging them both.
"Hello sweetheart." Her grandmother said hugging her. "We brought you and Phil some food since you both have been busy."
"Would you like to see the nursery?"
"Of course I would." She smiled. "I want to see where my great-grandson will be sleeping."
Charlie smiled and took her gram and her mom to the second bedroom. "This is it." She said as they all walked in.
"Oh my goodness." She laughed. "This room is so John. I'm guessing Jaycee had no say in it?"
"Not after they found out they were having a boy."
"That sounds like my son." Carol smiled.
"Yep. So Jaycee told him the next baby, she got to pick." Charlie smiled.
"Well I'm sure Ethan will love this room."
"I'm sure he will." Carol smiled. "I just can't believe I'm a grandmother. What will he call me?"
Charlie smiled at Phil and then looked at her mom. "I think you should let him call you granny."
"And I'll be Gram like always."
Carol laughed. "So, are you guys having a welcome home party for Jaycee, John and Ethan?"
"Of course."
"Great. Then we will all be here tomorrow to welcome that sweet little boy home." Carol smiled. "And you should go out and do something tonight."
"Like what?" Charlie replied.
"Just something for you and Phil. Spend some time together." Gram replied. "Now, go. This nursery is done and Ethan will love it."
Charlie looked at Phil. "Do you want to go out tonight? Have a little fun. You and me."
"Always."
"Good. Then you guys go out." Carol smiled. "And Gram and I are going back to the hospital because your dad and grandpa are there seeing Ethan, John and Jaycee."
"Alright. We'll see you tomorrow." They nodded and walked out. Charlie turned to Phil. "Shall we go get ready for a night out?"
"Definitely." Phil smiled and they headed to their apartment. This would be the first time they had really been out since Jaycee had Ethan. With him being early and having heath issues and Jaycee's issues, they hadn't wanted to be far away from them.
"Lets go eat and go to the movies." He nodded and they headed out. They both couldn't wait to spend the time together and enjoy the quiet time alone.
