A/N: I wrote the final chapters of the story on the way back from Liverpool yesterday so I thought I would post them together. Hope you enjoy :)

"Alanna you have to do this," Erin told her as Mike drove them over to the wrestling school where her dad was holding an assessment day he had arranged. He'd spoken with Darren and Matt, they all agreed to have a second class, and they didn't mind putting in the hours. At the end of the day, it was a good thing because it meant people were interested.

"I know," Alanna said. "But I've left it so long I'm worried John's going to think I don't want him to marry dad and won't propose."

"Then convince him otherwise," Mike chipped in as in indicated to turn into the parking lot. "The John I met would believe you anyway."

"Okay, I'm going to do this," she said gearing herself up. "Why am I nervous? I'm just telling him yes, gees anyone would think I was accepting a proposal."

"Are you hanging around? Wouldn't mind seeing some of the wrestlers," Erin said with a smile. "Will Dolph Ziggler be in there?"

"No, Erin," Alanna chuckled. "This is just a bunch of wannabes learning the basics. The only known names are the trainers. My dads, Albert and William Regal."

"Ohh," she said disappointed. "Can we come in anyway? Mike, do you want to go in?"

"How about we start with, Alanna how long are you going to be in there?"

"Depends on John I guess," she shrugged. "He may not want to chat in there."

She sat biting her nails as her two friends talked around her. She didn't mind, she liked being left to her thoughts. She'd felt bad for leaving it so long but in her defence everyone had been too busy to get five minutes alone with John. After Summerslam, Cody had been at the house more often than not, especially after Ted had dropped the belt.

"Okay, I'm going in," she said, suddenly. Opening the door, she jumped out the car and Mike and Erin came with her, apparently, they were going in to watch the action. She led the way around to the main entrance, not that it looked like much from the outside, but then that was what her dad was aiming for.

As soon as she opened the door, she could hear the sounds of people hitting mats and lots of yelling telling people to 'do it again'. Even Alanna knew one of the most important factors when wrestling was stamina. You could be pumped with muscle but if you could go five minutes in a ring, then you weren't going to make it in the business.

She looked around as she stepped in the room and saw Darren in one of the rings with a group of lads, making them throw themselves to the mat, get back up and do it again. Albert was in the second ring getting guys to run back and forth across the ring bouncing off the ropes. Her dad was in the final ring making his ten guys do an of exercise her gym teacher made them do when he had them running circuits.

John was over with the final group teaching them how to put a guy in an armbar. She couldn't help but think that the move was too easy since she'd often put her dad in the move when they were mucking about. Okay, he let her, but she knew how to do it just from watching Raw as a kid.

She led her friends over to the offices which meant walking across the training hall. As they did a couple of the wannabes whistled over to her.

"Anybody in this room who just whistled, you've got ten extra sets of whichever exercise you're on," Randy yelled over the din. "You do it again and I chuck you out this school."

Alanna and Erin laughed like the teenage girls they were and continued over to the offices. She caught her dad's annoyed gaze as she passed the ring he was working in and she couldn't help bursting into laughter again. Her dad had a tendency to overreact when people were checking out his family. Truth was she didn't mind them checking her out; it was a nice feeling to think that they liked the way she looked.

She caught a look in Mike's eye when they hit the office, apparently, he was as protective as her dad was, but if he wasn't going to step up and ask her out then he could stop with the annoyed look.

She spotted the coffee maker and instantly set about filling it up and getting a coffee ready for both her dads who were sure to want one. They looked as if they'd had a long day, and from the conversations she'd had with her dad the previous night, it was only going to get longer. After they had finished their assessments here, they were shipping everyone over to Hard Nock's and putting them through their paces at the gym, with Rob spending time with each of them to work out a development programme for them.

When the coffee was made, she handed a mug to Mike and Erin and took one for herself while she waited for either of her dads to come in. She was surprised that neither had made an appearance yet to ask why she was there, she figured it was because they were busy with the groups and they'd call a break when the smell of coffee wafted out into the main hall.

"How many coffees have you had today?" Randy asked as he walked in taking the mug from her.

"That's only my second," Alanna whined, she was over the only one cup of coffee a day.

"We agreed you could have one a day as long as you had food with it," Randy reminded her. She understood why he didn't want her relying on coffee, but she wasn't going to OD on it. "Why are you here?"

"I wanted to catch up with my dad," she said hugging him.

"Uh huh, which one?" Randy said eyeing her suspiciously. "The one that will give you anything you want?"

"Actually it is, but I don't want anything, just to chat about something. And he doesn't let me have EVERYTHING I want," she said with a smile.

"No, he won't buy you it if he thinks I'm going to kill him for it," Randy laughed.

"My ears were burning," John said leaning against the doorway. "Has he told you off for distracting the wrestlers?"

"Not yet, he seems more caught up on the second coffee I was having and how he thinks I came here to see you because I want something," Alanna said handing John one of the coffee's she'd made and taking the last one for herself.

"He's right about the coffee," John said taking her mug away. "Is there enough for another cup? I'm sure Darren and Matt would like one."

"How come Erin and Mike can have one," Alanna griped.

"We're not their parents," John said sitting on the edge of the desk next to Randy. "What do you want?"

"Right now, a cup of coffee," she said pouring a mug for the trainers.

"Okay, I'm going back out to that lot," Randy said shaking his head at her complaining. "And if you mention it one more time, you won't get any tomorrow."

Randy brushed his lips against the top of her head as he took the drinks from her and promised to see her later. He was about to head back out to the hall when John stopped him and kissed him quick, "Mm needed that all day."

"Gross," Alanna said automatically, she loved winding them up and it was more a joke she shared with them than anything else.

Alanna looked over to Mike and Erin and nodded for them to leave the room. They excused themselves to watch the workout and trials going on in the next room, leaving Alanna alone with John to speak to him about her decision. She wanted to explain why she had taken so long to come back to him, not wanting him to think she didn't want either of her dad's to be happy.

John was obviously reading her mind and stopped her from going into any kind of explanation, "Just tell me yes or no."

"Yes."

"Okay," he said beaming and pulling her into his arms. "Come on."

He leads her out to the main room and stops besides Randy's ring. He finished with his groups, and the stats and comments are recorded and in the office so the three of them can make an informed decision. At the end of the day, John was helping out for the day and wasn't one of the main trainers, the decision over which session they should go in would be up to Randy and his trainers.

"We're heading out," John yelled. "I'll see you later. Give me a call if you need anything."

"Don't spend too much on her," Randy warned.

John just laughed and walked away, stopping for Alanna to speak to her friends, she had no idea where and she were going but she figured they wouldn't be back to the school. John told them they were welcome to stay as long as their parents knew where they were and weren't out passed any curfew they may have.

"Where are we going?" Alanna said as she jumped into the truck with John.

"If I'm proposing, I need a ring," John said with a smile.

"Will you propose tonight?"

"I figured we could all go out for a meal, your dad's going to be tired and won't want to cook, and I thought it would be nice to celebrate a successful first day," John said. "I suppose I could propose when we get back. I don't want to do it at the restaurant, he'd kill me."

"I'm sure you want me there but this should be your night," Alanna said. "I don't want to be a third wheel. Let me see if I can stay at Erin's for the night. You can have a meal, go home, and propose there. Just let me know if he says yes."

"'If'? 'If' he says yes," John says. "Thank you for instilling confidence in me."

"Sorry," she chuckled. "I meant 'when'."

It was gone ten o'clock by the time John was pulling back into the driveway of their home. It had been a long day and Randy was ready to head up to bed and curl into his lover and drift off to sleep with a peaceful mind, knowing he had been able to see an inkling of an idea through to a fruitful conclusion. Okay, sure, there was still work to do but today had been a success and it was just a matter of getting the lads through the training and finding them some work in the independent circuit for experience. Everything was going to be individualised according to their plans, and if plans changed, then Randy would work with them to accomplish the goal.

"Don't fall asleep on me just yet," John said taking Randy's hand as they got out of the car and went through to the house.

"I wish Al had been there tonight," Randy said leaning into John's side.

"She had some homework she wanted to work on with Erin and Erin's mom said she'd cook. It was her idea to stay over and go to school from there," John said assuring him. "How about we share a bottle of wine on the veranda?"

"I'll get the glasses," Randy mentioned heading into the kitchen as John chose a bottle of wine from their small collection.

John wrapped an arm around Randy's waist as they went over to the veranda doors. For some reason the blinds were lowered and Randy couldn't ever remember them doing that. They were only there for decoration. John took his hand and opened the door and Randy's breath was stolen at the sight. Across every surface was tea light candles lit and an ice bucket holding a bottle of champagne.

Randy noticed a note resting against the bucket and picked it up to read:

You're the most amazing man I've ever met.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

John x

Randy let a smile spread across his lips, John was a sappy romantic, but he always knew how to do things without going too overboard. He turned around to John, who was over by the music system setting up some music for them. He walked up behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist.

"I'm guessing you had some help from a certain young lady," Randy whispered.

"I may have requested her help with this particular task," John said leaning back in Randy's arms, tilting his head back and stealing a kiss. "I was expecting her to go to this much trouble."

John hit the play button and took Randy's hand leading him to the middle of the veranda. John slid his hands up Randy's arms and around his neck as Randy leaned in to kiss him. They kept it slow and steady as they both conveyed the love they had for one another. The kiss slowly ended and Randy lead John in a dance, holding him close as they swayed to the music. His long day was ending perfectly.

"Will you marry me, Mr Orton?" John whispered in Randy's ear.

"Are you asking me, Mr Cena?" Randy said playing along with John's sappiness.

John straightened his stance and looked Randy square in the eye, "I'm asking."

Randy stood for a moment in shock; John was actually asking him to marry him. He wanted to scream yes but he lost his voice. He'd never been on the receiving end of a proposal, and somehow he never presumed John would be the one to propose in this relationship. That made it even more special. He could feel the emotion welling up in his eyes and he became determined not to turn into a blubbering idiot.

"Will you say some-"

"Yes," Randy said gulping as he spoke. He wanted to stop John's concerns, but the gulp probably didn't help. He took a moment to steady his own nerves. "Yes, I'll marry you. As long as you promise to put up with me for the rest of your life."

"Well I have for fourteen years," John said, his beaming smile taking over. "Oh, wait."

"What?"

John reached into the inside pocket of his jacket and pulled out a small velvet pouch, "What's a proposal without rings?"

"That better not be a diamond ring," Randy warned him. "I am not the woman in this relationship."

"Neither am I," John said laughing at Randy's threat. "This is why I went for something simple."

He took the rings out and showed Randy the Onyx and Platinum bands he picked out. He slid one on to Randy's ring finger and Randy took the second ring before John could put it on.

"Last chance for you to change your mind," Randy said with a smirk. "No backing out, you'll be stuck with me."

"I worked that out the day we started together. That's why I've never been able to let you go," John said seriously. "I can't live without you Ran, and I don't want to."

"That makes two of us," Randy said kissing him as he slid the ring on his finger.
