JOHN:

I take a deep breath as Angelina and I pull up into my parents' driveway. Natalie didn't come along with us because she isn't comfortable being around my parents. I don't blame her. She had to deliver enough shocking news this week. I told her she didn't need to come with me besides she was catching up with her brothers and her parents. I can handle this one; I think. I park the car and I get out. I help Angelina out of my car. I feel bad for her because this is the 2nd time this week that she had to be put in the middle of such events but she seems to be doing all right. "Are you okay?" I ask her as we walk up to my parents' front door.

"Yes, Daddy, I am," she says looking up at me.

"Okay," I say before ringing the doorbell. "My parents are going to love you."

"Did my mom really lie to you?" she asks me as we wait.

"Not so much lie to me she just didn't tell me," I say.

"Were you mad?"

"No," I say, "I wasn't mad. Your mom had a reason for doing what she did. I wish she would have told me sooner but later is better than never."

"Do you think that if you never came to Hershey she would have told you about me?" she asks me. It makes me think. If I never came to Hershey and ran into them would she have ever told me about Angelina or did she only tell me because she was backed in a corner. It is hard to tell. We will never know because fate happened, I took Randy's place and ran into Angelina and Natalie.. I don't think it matters what would have happened if we never ran into each other because we did and that's what matters.

"I don't know but I'm not worried about it," I say but really I think that question is going to haunt me the rest of the night.

My mom opens the door and the first thing she does is hug me. "Johnny! I'm so glad that you're home."

"Johnny?" I ask, "please I'm an adult don't call me Johnny."

"I'm sorry," she says, "come in. Come in."

"Thank-you," I say following her in with Angelina.

"So what brings you home? John, Johnny is here," she says as we walk through the house.

"I was in town, Mom. I told you last week that I was coming. Did you forget?"

"I must have," she says. "I don't know."

"It's okay," I say as we enter into the living room where my dad is sitting on the chair. "Hey, dad," I say.

"Hello, John," he says getting up to give me a hug. "How's the wrestling life?"

"Good," I say. "But my personal life is wonderful."

"How is Ashley?" he asks.

"She's okay," I say.

"Still fighting?" asks my mom.

"Yes," I say. "I think I'm going to get a divorce."

"A divorce?" asks my mom, "are things that bad?"

"Yes things are that bad," I say. I don't think they notice Angelina standing there.

"Why? What happened between you two?" asks my mom.

"She's just not who I thought she was," I say. "I think I made a mistake marrying her."

"Okay," says my mom looking at Angelina. "And who is this beautiful young lady?"

"My name is Angelina," she says with a smile.

"Angelina, it's nice to meet you," says my mom with a smile. "You are such a beautiful little girl."

"Thank-you," says Angelina with a smile.

"You're welcome, Honey. Would you like some cookies and milk?"

"Yes Please," she says with a smile. If Natalie knew she was eating cookies and milk before dinner she would have a fit. I think this counts as a special occasion though so I'm not going to say anything.

"I'll be right back." My mom walks out of the living room to go get Angelina some milk and cookies. She returns a few minutes later and says, "here you go Angelina; cookies and milk."

"Thank-you," she says with a smile as she sits down at the coffee table to eat them.

"So Angelina, how old are you?" asks my mom.

"7," she says. "I will be 8 in November."

"I see," says my mom. "Where are you from?"

"Hershey, Pennsylvania," she says.

I am not sure my mom gets it or even wonders why I have a little girl with me until she says, "John, who is your friend here?"

"She's a friend's daughter. I am watching her for the evening."

"I see," she says. "If I didn't know any better I would say she is your daughter. She looks just like you did at her age, Johnny, but she can't be your daughter. Right?"

"Well," I say. "I think we should talk."

"Okay," says my mom and my dad puts down the newspaper.

"Well, Mom and Dad, Angelina is MY daughter," I say. It is easier than I thought.

"What?" asks my mom, "how? Who? When?"

"I didn't know you had a kid, John," says my father.

"Neither did I until I went to Hershey last week for a show," I say. "That's when I met her."

"So you had a daughter that you didn't know about for 7 years?" asks my dad. "Did you take a paternity test? I mean you've got so much money they could just be after your money."

"Dad, I'm pretty sure she is my daughter in fact I am 100% sure she is my daughter. No need for a paternity test at all. She is my daughter. She looks just like me."

"But looks can be deceiving. How can you be so sure? And 7 years?" Asks my dad.

"Dad, I'm sure because her mom and I were together around the time she was made and I trust her mom."

"But you never know she could be after your money," he says.

"I doubt that," I say. "I think she has her own money."

"But you're rich," he says.

"Who is her mother, John? And when did this happen and why didn't you know about her?"

"Her mom is Natalie Morgan," I say.

"Natalie Morgan? That nice and sweet little girl that lived down the street? That Natalie Morgan? Teresa and Richard Morgan's little girl?" asks my mom.

"Yes, Mom, that's the girl," I say.

"When?"

"When we were dating," I say.

"When did you date?"

"8 years ago but only for a month. We broke up before I knew she was pregnant well she broke up with me."

"So why didn't she tell you?" asks my father. "Why did she wait till now?"

"Because she didn't want me to give up my career. She felt that I should focus on my career and didn't want to ruin my career. She did it for me," I say.

"And you couldn't be a wrestler and a father?" he asks.

"I could have but I would have given up a lot to be a father that's why Natalie didn't tell me because she didn't want me to give up something that I love. I wouldn't have cared. I would have been there but.."

"But she never gave you the chance," says my father. "That is incredibly selfish."

"At least she told me," I say. "She could have never told me. It may be later but it's better than never."

"I guess," says my father. "So is this why you and Ashley have been fighting?"

"No," I say. "Ashley doesn't know about her. We've been fighting because she's the wrong person for me and she always has been."

"Then why did you marry her?" asks my mom.

"I don't know. I was young and stupid," I say. "But anyway, Angelina is your granddaughter."

"I know," they say together.

"And we are so thankful to have her in our family," says my mom. "I wish we would have known sooner."

"That was beyond my control," I say, "but now you have all the time in the world to be in her life."

"So what is going on with you and Natalie? How is this working out?"

"I don't know," I say. "We haven't really discussed details. I am trying my best to be in her life."

"Good," says my father. "So how does it feel to be a dad?"

"It feels great," I say with a smile. "I couldn't be happier."

"And where is Natalie?"

"Visiting with her parents," I say.

"Well, I think you two need to get together and discuss details," says my father. "I think it's important that you allow Angelina to grow up as normally as possible. If you have to divorce Ashley to be a father then so be it but Angelina is your number 1 priority now."

"I know," I say.

"So where do you and Natalie stand on this?" asks my mom. "Are you two ever going to get together?"

I look at Angelina and her ears seem to have perked up a little waiting on my response. "Only time will tell," I say.
