Epilogue
Joe looked back down the palisade of chairs as he heard the music start and saw his beautiful fiancé Marie walk down the aisle towards him, his brother stood by his side and his little princes walked behind her Mother smiling happily at him. Of course the bridesmaid's dress she was wearing was a Rhea original creation, his little angel had been insistent, and Rhea had been only too happy to oblige.
Rhea and Jon sat up at the front of the guests with his parents; Jon was proudly holding his baby girl who had, had him wrapped around her finger since just after she was born.
Melanie Anne Good was born right on time, coming into the world screaming and letting everyone know her lungs were in good order, she weighed in at seven pounds three ounces. Her hair was a mixture of her Mothers and her Father's, she had Jon's eyes and his chin, along with his dimples the rest of her face was her Mother's, and when he first saw her, Jon fell in love all over again, this time with his little girl.
Holding his newborn daughter carefully in his arms, Jon knew at that moment that his life held everything he wanted it to, and he carefully placed a solitaire diamond ring in her little fist before getting down on one knee and asking his girl to marry him. Rhea was crying tears of joy as Jon kissed her and their daughter as she said yes.
Now Melanie Anne was three months old and Jon and Rhea were planning their own wedding, with lots of help from their extended family of friends.
Randy and Kaelen sat next to them, Kaelen's rings sparkling on her finger. They were simple and some would say plain, Kaelen preferred simple and elegant over ostentatious any day, and what Randy had picked out for her suited her perfectly. The pair had gotten married a couple of months after Randy proposed to her on Raw. It was a fairly quiet wedding with Randy's immediate family and some friends from the WWE attending. With Kaelen having no family she wished to attend, and her Father being deceased, Vince claimed the honour of walking the blushing bride down the aisle, and gave them a week off in which to have their honeymoon. Callie and a visibly pregnant Rhea had been her maids of honour while Randy's daughter had been her bridesmaid and Randy's younger brother and John had been his groomsmen. It had been a lovely day, and helped Joe make up his mind that it was time for him to take the next step, hence the reason they were all here today.
John and Callie sat at the end of the row, Callie showing with the baby she was carrying. After a bit of a shaky start John had embraced the idea of being a Father, and was taking good care of his girl. They were in love and after that first initial hiccup happy. Having Jon around meant that John had, had to adapt to the idea of Fatherhood fast. Jon was an, it takes two to make a baby kind of guy, and was not about to listen to any, 'I didn't want this,' from anyone. John had got a simple lecture from the guy who used to fuck any woman who was willing, along the lines of,' you don't want a baby, you don't stick your dick in a woman'. Jon knew he had been lucky not to knock any of his flings up, he had known when he was fucking them that pregnancy was a possibility no matter how remote, and he felt John needed to make sure he accepted that too. Callie had been busy decorating the baby's room; they had both opted to be surprised by the sex of their unborn child, and she was happy and glad that John was on board with them having a child. While he once he had grown used to the idea was excited as well.
Joe now had eyes for no one but his bride as she walked towards him, his hands were sweating and his throat was dry he was finding it hard to believe that this was finally happening. It was as if she was gliding or floating down the aisle till at last she stood by his side looking up into his eyes. From there the service passed him by in a daze, he said what he was told to say, when he was told to say it, till finally he heard the words.
"Ladies and gentlemen I present to you Mr and Mrs Joe Anoa'i , you may now kiss your bride."
He pulled her to him kissing her tenderly, vaguely aware of the clapping and cheering that was going on, till they broke apart smiling at each other, and turned from each other to face their family and friends.
Joe smiled at his everyone, before taking his wife's hand and walking back down the centre aisle between the people who were clapping for them. They stopped to look at Melanie Anne, before their own daughter came tearing towards them colliding with her parents and being scoped up in her Father's strong arms. He cuddled her with one arm putting his other around his wife and smiling, the little family headed inside to the reception followed quickly, by their family and friends.
Dean carried his little daughter in his arms smiling at Rhea; she had now got her figure back after her pregnancy, except for the small fact that her breasts were bigger now. She was breast feeding Melanie Anne, though she would express her milk, so that Dean could give her bottles when he wanted to feel more involved by feeding her, and the milk she carried caused her breasts to swell.
Jon was a wonderful Father as far as Rhea was concerned, never minding getting up to bring his daughter to her Mother when she wanted her night feed. He also cheerfully changed her dirty diapers and would walk her around her nursery resting her over his shoulder when she would not settle. On more than one occasion Rhea had found Father and daughter asleep in the rocking chair Jon had got for the nursery, making her smile. Rhea loved Jon completely and utterly, she knew he felt complete with her and their daughter, finally having what he had secretly wanted for so long a family of his own.
Randy and Kaelen were still at that honeymoon stage in their marriage, and often would only have eyes for each other, even though they might be surrounded by people. Their friends however all noticed that the last couple of days Randy had been extra attentive to his beautiful wife, who seemed to accept his actions, and even welcome them.
John kept Callie's left hand firmly in his as they followed the others walking behind the little family. He smiled at her raising their joined hands to his lips and kissed hers softly.
Joe, Marie and their daughter stood at the entrance to the reception greeting their guests as they walked in, Joe smiled as he saw his three friends and their girls walking up to him. The sight of Jon with a baby in his arms made him grin and he reached for her, taking her from his brother and smiling down at her, he really did want another one of his own.
"Hey there baby girl." He said looking down at the little girl he held and smiling as Jon's blue eyes looked back at him. He looked over at Jon who had a smile on his face watching his daughter with eagle eyes, yeah they boy who tried to date her better be made of strong stuff, Jon was going to be on the lookout for the bad boys, and he would know how to spot them. "How did someone like you make someone like her?" He teased as he handed her back to her Father, before looking at Marie and smiling at her.
Jon smiled as he took his daughter holding her close to him. "I got lucky and met Rhea." He told his friend, looking at his fiancé who smiled back at him.
"We'll be at your wedding next." Joe said with a smile on his face.
Jon grinned at him. "I'm all for a quickie wedding at an Elvis chapel in Vegas, but the future Mrs Good wants the whole experience, and who am I to deny my beautiful fiancé what she wants?" He asked before they had to move on.
There were several circular tables dotted around the room, and the six of them were sitting together. They had, had to pull a few strings to make it happen, but everyone knew how close the little group were, and they had worked hard to make this day a reality for them. The men all accepted glasses of champagne, Rhea was breast feeding, and Callie was pregnant so they opted for sparkling grape juice, they were a little surprised when Kaelen asked for the same, however no one commented much on it.
Soon everyone was seated and the meal was served, as Callie was eating she noticed Rhea staring at her fingers, self consciously she tried to slip her left hand into her lap. Rhea nudged Kaelen and nodded at Callie's hand and Kaelen looked too. The light of the candle on the table was glinting off the simple diamond ring and gold band that Callie wore on the ring finger of her left hand.
"Is there something you two want to tell us?" Rhea asked looking at John.
The pregnant woman looked at her man, and he smiled at her, before looking at the men who seemed to be none the wiser. Callie flushed slightly hoping her friends would not be mad at her.
"We took a little trip to Vegas a couple days ago." John said softly. "We decided we wanted to get married before the baby arrived, and well I've done the whole big wedding thing before, and Callie just wanted something simple, we didn't want to take away from Joe's special day so we didn't say anything."
"Girl you got hitched without telling us?" Rhea asked looking into Callie's face.
"It was a spur of the moment thing, he asked me I said yes and we thought let's just go and do it, we'll do something big after the baby is here." Callie confessed hoping they were not going to be mad she had not told them.
"It's so romantic escaping to Vegas and getting married." Kaelen said with a smile. "Sometimes I wished we had done that, but Randy's parents would have killed us." She smiled fondly at her husband, who knew his parents adored his wife. "His Mom had more fun planning the wedding than we did."
"Actually since we are all confessing." Randy said with a smile on his face glancing at Kaelen to see if she was okay with sharing."We have some news too." He took Kaelen's hand in his. "We're pregnant, found out a couple of days ago."
Congratulations were quietly exchanged around the table as the three couples talked till a server brought over a warmed bottle for Melanie Anne. Jon deftly cradled his daughter in his arms, confidently feeding her and making those around them smile, seeing the one time bad boy so taken with his daughter. Once he had fed her, he burped her before handing her over to her Mother, who cuddled her daughter against her, watching as her sleepy blue eyes began to close.
At the top table the Father of the bride stood up to give his speech, followed by Joe, and then Matt stood up and began his speech doing his duty as best man. He told some funny stories about Joe when they were children, and about his football playing days, before finally asking everyone to toast the happy couple. Once they had done that and cut the cake, people began to move towards the dance floor, as the DJ began to play some songs.
The happy couple began their dance as the others watched them, they only had eyes for each other as they moved around the floor and as the song ended they exchanged a gentle kiss, before other couples moved to join them. Rhea happily handed Melanie Anne over to Joe's Mother for a cuddle, so that she could dance with Jon, they both smiled seeing Joe's little princess standing with her Grandma taking an interest in her little cousin, since Jon and Joel viewed each other as brothers, and to Joe's Mom Jon was another of her sons, Joe told his daughter Melanie Anne was her cousin.
The dancing lasted well into the night as everyone celebrated the marriage, the group of friends interchanging partners quite frequently. Until finally Mr and Mrs Joe Anoa'i, left to begin their honeymoon, leaving their guests to finish the party and head upstairs to the rooms where they were staying.
Making their way up to their room Randy and Kaelen kept stopping to steal kisses from each other, heading into the elevator he pulled her close to him wrapping her in his strong arms and smiling down at his wife.
Kaelen gazed up lovingly at him, it wouldn't have mattered to the pair of them if a handful of rabid Randy Orton fans had piled into the elevator with them, as they only had eyes for each other. They kissed each other hungrily as they headed up to the floor their room was on, and took a few seconds to register that the doors had opened and they had arrived on the correct floor. Randy grinned at her as he swept her up into his arms making her giggle like a schoolgirl and carried his wife to their room. A little skilful juggling later and he was carrying Kaelen into their room shutting the door with his foot before setting her down on her feet and claiming her lips in another kiss.
Her arms slid around his neck as they kissed like a pair of young lovers, their hands roaming over each other's backs and their tongues duelling with each other as they explored each other's mouths.
When they broke apart Kaelen had to smile at the hungry loving look in her husband's eyes, to her he was still that perfect looking masculine specimen almost of the male gender she had viewed him as, that first time she saw him.
Randy watched her, still holding her in his arms and looking down into her eyes; he wondered what she was thinking about. Her smile told him she was happy, and that was something he wanted to make sure she always was. Letting her go he took her hand and led her out onto their balcony, the pair of them standing there in the light breeze looking at the waves lapping on the shore below the hotel and glistening in the light of the full moon.
Standing behind his wife Randy put his arms around her as they took in the view, his chin resting on the top of her head and his hand idly stroking her stomach. Kaelen's hand covered his as they stood there; she was content to be in her husband's arms, thinking about the life that was growing inside her. Her waist was already thickening; a little tell tale sign of the new like that resided inside of her.
"So Mrs Orton?" Randy said softly as he rubbed small circles over her stomach. "First one married last one to have a baby."
"I know." She replied quietly looking out at the ocean feeling safe and warm in his arms. "It's funny you know, when we met I never even imagined anything like this could happen."
"Me either, I still can't believe John and Callie snuck off and got married like that." Randy replied.
"I know what you mean, he always said it wasn't what he wanted, and I guess he wanted Callie more though." Randy smiled at his wife's words.
"Our children can grow up together." Randy said turning Kaelen around and kissing her gently before guiding her inside. "Just think a whole new generation of wrestlers growing up together, they'll have the jump on most everyone else, maybe they'll be a whole new stable."
"That's if they want to be wrestlers." Kaelen told him as he shut the door to the balcony locking it before drawing the drapes.
"It'll be in their blood it's inevitable." Randy replied giving her his signature smirk making her think she knew what was on his mind.
She smiled at her husband as he began to undress her, now she was sure she knew what was on his mind, as he began pulling off his own clothes as well. Still smiling to herself as he led her to the bed, Kaelen reflected that it was strange how such a simple act as Randy coming to her work to buy a tree and falling asleep on the pallet, had changed not only their lives, but those of their friends as well. Looking up at her wonderful husband, who was looking down at her with loving eyes, she smiled contentedly. Who would have ever thought she could have been so surprised by a Viper?
