2 MONTHS LATER!

Natalie:

"It is finally finished," says John as he closes up the last drawer for Gabriel's clothes. It hurts knowing that Gabriel is still in the hospital and can't come home to enjoy his new nursery in our new home. We moved over the last couple months because of everything that happened with Ashley. We moved out of Hershey to a small private residence in Lancaster, PA. We wanted to stay in PA because of Gabriel staying in the NICU at the hospital in Hershey. I have no plans to return back to work just yet even though I was given that job with the WWE but Vince and Stephanie told me to take as much time as I need before jumping into the job. I want to wait till Gabriel is out of the hospital and doing well before I work again. "Nat," says John snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"The nursery is finished. What do you think?" He asks me.

I look around at the blue painted nursery, the white rocking chair with the matching white crib and dressers, the bookcase holding Gabriel's first book collection, the sports bedding in the crib displaying all-star on it with basketballs, baseballs and footballs and his clothes hanging in the closet. "It's nice," I say with little emotion.

"What's wrong?" he asks.

"It's just," I begin to say.

"It's just what?" asks John.

"I just wish that we could bring Gabriel home. I wish he could be here in his nursery. It's not fair, John. Ashley took these months from us. Two months our son has been in the hospital because of Ashley. I should be getting ready to go into labor in the next week to deliver him but Ashley took that away from me. Our son can have long lasting effects and may never be normal because of Ashley. Our son could have long lasting health problems all because of Ashley." I am so angry with Ashley for what she has done and for everything she has taken from me. Sure she is sitting in jail waiting for trial but my son is still in the hospital because he was born too early because of her.

"But everything is ready for him when he comes home," says John. "I know you're upset. I know you're hurting and I would do anything to take that hurt away from you but I can't. There isn't anything I wouldn't do to bring Gabriel home but you know he has to stay in the hospital so that he can get bigger and become healthier."

"He shouldn't be in the hospital," I say bitterly.

"I know," says John, "but hopefully when we go there tomorrow we will get the okay to bring him home. I want him home too. I'm ready to complete our family."

"John, it just hurts," I say as I feel the tears burning in my eyes. It has been a rough two months for us. We have not been intimate at all because I feel so uncomfortable after everything that Max put me through and not having my son home with us has been tough. It's been tough seeing him in the hospital hooked up to tubes and wires. The good thing is his lungs are fully developed now and he is breathing on his own and he is eating on his own too. He just hasn't gained the weight he needs to go home.

"I know," he says wrapping his arms around me. "I know it's hard. I know it hurts. It hurts me too. He's my son too Natalie. It hurts me too to see him like that. It hurts me too with him not being home but I know right now it's the best thing for him."

I pull away and say, "the best thing for him would have been for me to carry him full term but your crazy ex-wife caused this. It's your fault," I say. I know it's not really his fault but it slips out.

"Fine," says John, "it's my fault. Does that make you feel better? I should have listened to you. I shouldn't have left you alone that day and nothing would have happened. It's my fault. I shouldn't have married Ashley but how the hell was I supposed to know that you were hiding my daughter from me. You never even called me, Natalie. You never even gave me the chance to be there. I would have been there. You never stopped to care enough to worry about how I would feel. You were selfish, Natalie. SELFISH!"

That is the first time John has lashed out about Angelina and now I know we're in a fight. I hate fighting with him. "John, you couldn't handle a child. You had your career. I thought about you. I didn't want you to give up something that you loved because of one drunken night."

"One drunken night?" he asks. "One drunken night? Is that all it was to you one drunken night?"

"I got pregnant with Angelina the night I lost my virginity because I was too stupid to stop you," I say.

"So that's what happened. Life happened, Natalie. It was one drunken night but you and I were so much more than that. We are much more than that. That is the night I fell in love with you. It was more than a drunken night to me," he says. "You were my girlfriend when you found out. You knew but instead of telling me you walked away. I deserved to know. You should have told me."

"You had your career, John. The night I was going to tell you, you were so excited about going to film that movie in Louisiana and then you were so happy about finally getting that title run when you came back. That's why I didn't tell you. I couldn't let you give that up, John. I wasn't being selfish. I did it because you had your life planned out. You had everything that you needed at your feet you didn't need a child to stop you from your dreams. I did it for you. That wasn't being selfish."

"Do you think my career meant more to me than my daughter? I would have given up wrestling and that movie in a heartbeat for my child," he says.

"But then you wouldn't be who you are today. You would be stuck at some dead end job that you hated so that you could provide for our family. You didn't deserve that," I say. "You deserved to have your dreams. You deserved to have that movie. You deserved your chance to do what you love."

"I deserved to know that I had a child. I deserved to know that you were pregnant, Natalie. I don't care what I would have to do but I would have been there for my daughter!"

"So you would have been okay with giving everything that you worked for up to be a father?"

"Yes, Natalie. Why do I have to say it over and over again? You and Angelina mean everything to me. Gabriel means everything to me. Wrestling is NOTHING to me when it comes you guys. Answer me this Natalie, if you could go back to that night would you honestly change it or keep it the same?"

I think about it. I really don't think I would have changed the night I left him. I think I would still not tell him but then everything would have been different if I had told him. After thinking about it I finally say, "yes. If I could go back to that night I would change it. I would have told you. I would have taken that road, John. I would have told you."

"All right," he says. "If you would have told me that night everything would have been different. Our entire lives would have been different. I may not have been a WWE superstar and I may not have been a millionaire but I would have had the woman that I love and my daughter and that Natalie would have meant everything. The championships, the money, the movies none of that matters what matters is you, Natalie. You are the only thing that has ever mattered to me. I never gave up on you in 8 years. I will never give up on you. I love you, Natalie. I love that I'm with you. I love that we have two kids together and I love that we are a family. I love you."

I feel the tears run down my cheek as I see John put his hand in his pocket. I see him get down to one knee through my tear filled eyes and my heart begins to race. "John," I say, "what are you…"

He stops me by putting his finger to my lips and says, "Natalie, all I ever wanted was to have you in my life forever. All I ever wanted was to be with you every morning you wake up and every night you go to sleep. All I ever wanted was a life with you one that lasts forever. Natalie, when I first met you all I ever saw you as was my best friend's little sister. I always looked at you like you were my little sister but then I saw you that night at my welcome home party and you had changed. You were not that little girl I used to know. You weren't that little kid sister I always thought you were you were a woman. A beautiful woman and I never planned to sleep with you that night because I didn't want it to be that way but life happened and life was created. We were brought together by fate. I can't keep asking myself what would have happened if we took a different road but I can keep thinking about what road we are going to take now. You are still that beautiful woman to me, you are still the woman that I love and you are the mother of my children. You are my life and if I can't spend the rest of my life with you I don't want to spend the rest of my life with anyone but what I'm asking is Natalie Morgan, will you marry me? Will you be my forever?" He pulls out a ring box and opens it up exposing a beautiful diamond ring with a big diamond bigger than his fingernail and two small diamonds on each side. It is absolutely beautiful and it sparkles like the sun.

I am speechless as the tears fall from my eyes. I can't believe it and finally I say, "yes, John. I will marry you!" He slips the ring on my finger and stands up wrapping his arms around me.

"I love you, Natalie."

"I love you too," I say. "Forever."

"Forever," he says.

"And John," I say. "Never quote Taylor Swift to me again." We both let out a laugh before we softly kiss each other's lips. I am getting married to John Cena!
