Three months had passed Juliette and Rick were finding out the sex of the baby. The day after that John was flying in to pick up Juliette and Lexie. They were going to Massachusetts so Juliette could finally meet John's parents. She and John were talking to each other through Skype.

"Are you excited for tomorrow?" John asked.

"Yeah I just don't wanna see Rick."

"I know."

"I might as well get used to it." "Rick is going to be involved in my life for the next eighteen years at least."

"How Lexie?"

"She's good." "She's playing with her toys." "Hold on." She turned around. "Lexie come here." "Come to mommy." Lexie crawled over to her. Juliette picked her up. "Look little muffin." "Who's that?"

"Ga ga." Lexie said smiling.

"That's right it's daddy." "Tell daddy." "Say since you've been gone I've gotten two more teeth."

"You have?" John said. "That's daddy big girl." "Do you miss daddy?"

"Goo goo." Lexie said.

"Daddy misses you to." "I'll see you in two days."

"Say bye daddy." Juliette said. "Bye daddy."

"Bye Juliette." "I love you."

"I love you too."

The next morning Juliette and Rick were at the doctor. The doctor had her hooked to the machine.

"Are you guys ready to know what it is?" The doctor asked.

"Yes." Juliette said.

"It's a boy."

"All right." Rick said. "That's what I was hoping for."

Juliette and Rick were walking to their cars.

"There's nothing I can do to persuade you to give him my last name?" Rick asked.

"If it were up to me you wouldn't even be his father." "John would." "I'm giving my baby a name of man I was proud of." "Not the name of a man I think should be in jail."

The next afternoon Juliette and John had just walked through the door of his parents home. John was holding Lexie in the car seat.

"We're here." John said. They went into the living room. John put Lexie down.

"John." His mom Carol said.

"Hi mom." They hugged.

"Son." John Sr. said.

"Hi dad." They hugged. "Mom, dad this is Juliette."

"Hi." Juliette said. "It's so nice to finally meet you."

"Hello." Carol said. "I'm Carol and you are just beautiful."

"Thank you."

"So this is Juliette?" John Sr. said. "I've heard a lot of about you." They hugged.

"Would anyone like some coffee?" Carol asked.

"If you're making it I wouldn't mind having some." John said.

"I'll help you." Juliette said.

"Come here Lexie." John said taking her out of her car seat.

"Boy she's getting big." John Sr. said.

"Yeah."

"I remember when you were that small." "Thinking of having anymore?"

"If we do it probably won't be for awhile." "Juliette's ex-husband is such a sleazebag." "I have a bad feeling about him."

"What do you mean?"

"Juliette says he's never been violent with her but I just have a feeling he could turn that way in a heartbeat."

"You should always trust your instincts."

Juliette and Carol were in the kitchen.

"I'm so glad we finally got to do this." Carol said.

"Me to." "Mrs. Cena I-

"Carol dear."

"Carol." "I know John probably told you what happened the first time we went out."

"Yes he did."

"I want you to know that won't be happening this time." "I love your son and I'll never hurt him again."

"I know and he loves you to." "Everything that happened is water under the bridge." "I can tell you two are happy now."

Juliette. John and Lexie stayed for a few hours then went back to his place.

"I'm glad your parents liked me." Juliette said.

"I knew they would."

"That was fun." Juliette felt Lexie at her feet. "What muffin?" "Want mommy to pick you up?" She picked her up.

"Did you enjoy seeing grandma and grandpa today Lexie? John asked. Lexie smiled. She rested her head on Juliette's stomach.

"Aw do you love your brother?" "That's your brother Nick in there muffin." "He'll be here in a few months."

Rick had just loaded a shovel and a bag of lime into his car. He had also purchased a hunting knife with a six inch blade, more ammo for his gun, a rope, a plain white sheet and some duct tape. He got in his car and looked at the sonogram picture he had pinned to the visor.

"Don't worry Nick." He said out loud. "Daddy has everything he needs to get rid of John Cena once and for all." "I know I still have a few months to go but I'm going to enjoy torturing him before I kill him." "Then I'll bury him in the backyard under the apple tree." "Then you, mommy, daddy and Lexie will be a happy family again."
