John's POV

once chris  came back with my clothes i got dressed and we walked down stairs to breakfast with her family.

"good morning mom and daddy!!" Chris said happily as we walked into the kitchen.

"good morning you two! we were starting to wonder if we were going to see you this morning" maggy laughed.

"oh that's my fault maggy i kept her up watching movies last night" i smiled at her

"oh ok..." she gave a look to Rocky and went back to cooking the bacon.

"so chris and i have something to tell you guys later"

"you guys are going to be so happy!" chris smiled widely

"do we really wanna know?" Rocky asked

"its not bad news guys i promise!"

"okay breakfast is ready!" maggy said taking the last strip of bacon off the stove top before plating up breakfast for everyone.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"you don't think your mom heard us last night do you?" i asked her as pulled my sweat pants on before our run

"i don't know, i know the look she gave dad. i think she may have...."

"i think they did too, rocky was glaring at me all through breakfast"

"don't worry dads not going to bust you up unless you break my heart and in that case i'm going to bust you up" she winked at me

"oh that's comforting...... but don't worry baby i'm not going to hurt you"

"hmm you might have to prove that to me tonight...." she said giving me that love me just right look.

"you dirty little woman........you know i can't say no" i looked down at her.

"i know.....i think we better get back to the house before dad comes looking for me.."

"yea we should get back....." we got up and walked back to her mom and dads house, i held her hand in one and bubkis leash in the other as chris did the same.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by the time we got back to rocky and maggy's house it was starting to snow and getting really cold something i didn't pack for.

"umm babe i didn't pack for this..." i looked over at chris setting on the couch smiling at me

"what's so funny?" i asked smiling back at her.

"oh nothing just the fact that your gonna have to come shopping with me in tennis shoes and shorts with snow on the ground" she busted out laughing by the last part.

"that's not funny babe, i'm gonna look stupid"

"no your not, dad does it all the time besides i can ask dad to let you borrow a pair of boots to wear till we get back and a coat if you need it" she smiled

"are you sure he's going to let me?"

"daddy couldn't say no to me, babe" she smiled and walked into her dads home gym.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christen's POV

"hey daddy!" i smiled

"hey baby whatcha need?"

"can john borrow a coat and a pair of boots to wear to the store to buy some, he didn't exactly come prepared for snow and phily weather"

"i don't see why not, i'll go grab a pair of boots and a coat"

"thanks daddy"

"of course baby girl"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christen's POV

"finally warm babe?" i smiled seeing him on the couch

"i'm alright now, what'd your dad say?"

"he's gone up to get them for you" i smiled

"he really can't say no to you can he?"

"not really, i'm daddy's little girl"

"of course you are! so where are we going to get me clothes?"

"well anywhere you want, we're gonna take dad's truck though the trans doesn't have winter grips on it anymore so it's not the best idea to drive it"

"oh ok" about the time he answers dad comes bounding back down the stairs with a pair of boots and a coat for john.

"thank you sir"

"your welcome john" dad gave him a normal easy look and went to the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee for mom.

john sat down and put the boots on before i ran up stairs to grab my thick coat and hat before i bounded down the stairs and forgot to get the keys from dad so i had to run back upstairs and get them.

i came back down stairs and found john waiting by the door. i smiled and said

"can you drive in snow?"

"I've drove in it a few times"

"be careful and i'll let you drive" i smiled

"alright lets go" i handed him the keys and we walked into the garage and got in dads truck before he started her up and opened the garage door then we headed out shopping.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John's POV

"why are you making me try on so many coats babe?" i said holding 7 different coats as she kept handing me costs.

"because you might like one of them more then then other one"

"oh" she stopped handing me coats and said

"alright try those on and then we'll go find you some boots and some pants"

"what do you mean pants?"

"i mean jeans that aren't super baggy like the ones you have, babe we aren't in 2006 anymore" she chuckled

"no one can say no to you can they?" i asked trying on the first coat

"plenty of people can but you guys aren't one of them"

"i know i'm not!" she just looked at me and smiled

"so what do you think?"

"you look good but i think i got the perfect one for you.." she pulled out a black leather jacket she had been hiding behind her and said

"here babe try this one" she smiled as i took the red on off and pulled the leather one on.

"what do you think? you like it better than the others?" she asked smiling

"it fits perfect! how does it look?"

"it looks great! i love it, y'know what forget the rest of these, if you like the one best" she smiled

"i'm gonna get this one" i smiled and hung the rest of those coats on the return rack before i pulled the jacket off and followed chris to the shoe department.

i tried on 3 pairs of boots and ended up with a pair of biker style square toes before chris drug me off to clothing again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"why don't you like my jeans i already have?" i asked her

"babe i hate the way they look.. they make you look like a rapper from 2002"

"alright fine we'll find some new ones that you like"

"thank you babe!"  she hands me a stack of jeans and says

"go try these on" i head to the fitting rooms and put a pair on before i walk out in the first pair

"perfect babe! don't bother with the others just get a couple pairs of those!"

"so we're done here?"

"yep we're done shopping for you!" she smiled

"and let me guess now we start shopping for you?" i chuckled

"of course! nah I'm only going to pick up a few things."

"alright lets go start shopping for you" i smiled at her.

she smiled and i paid for my clothing before we went to the next store to get what chris wanted.

we came out of her store an hour later with 4 bags of clothes and 2 bags of cowboy boots. despite the fact christen's from phily she looks, talks and acts like shes from the south.

we got back to her parents house and brought everything in before christen found her parents note on the kitchen island saying

'christen and john

   sorry we left before you guys came back but Apollo called and asked us to spend a few days with him and mary at their cabin and we decided to go, we'll call when we get here,

                                                                      -Love mom and dad'

we put our new stuff up and couldn't help but go for round 4 and 5.

"i cant believe my parents ditched us on our weekend here"

"i can.....we got this huge house to ourselves..."he looked at me and wiggled his eyebrows

"you are so dirty!!" i laughed at him. he just smiled and tackled me on the bed.

"hey i'm hungry!!" he laughs and pulls me up before he piggy backs me downstairs.

---------------------------------------downstairs------------------------------------------

"so what are you hungry for?"

"i think a want a phily cheese steak!"

"lets get to cooking!" he smiled and rubbed his hands together.

"i think mom made some last night....i hope because you know i can only grill"

"well luckily i can cook"

"i knew you were my knight in shinning armor!" he laughed

"well i don't know about that but i try" i just smiled at him.

"so since we didn't get to spill it to mom and dad that we are together now we get to do it at dinner on thanksgiving"

"your kidding me right??" he looks at me scared

"babe it's gonna be alright, they love you"

"but what if your dad kills me during dinner?"

"dads not going to kill you, i promise. dads gonna be glad its you cause you've been around them and they've gotten to know you"

"are you sure?"

"yea, mom already loves you, dad just needs time to adjust to his baby girl growing up and finding a guy she loves"

"your moms great but your dads not so great sometimes"

"dads not bad, he just has trust issues, guess i get mine from him"

"well you know you can trust me, heres your phily steak!"

"i know your my person! thanks babe! looks really good"

"your welcome princess!" he smiled and kissed my cheek before i got off the bar and went to sit in a stole

"so how does it taste?"

"you out did yourself babe! this is the best phily cheese steak I've had in forever!"

"seriously?"

"yeah! this is really good! try yours" he picks his phily steak sandwich up from the plate and takes a bite

"wow that really is good!" he smiles taking another bite

"i told you so!" i smiled at him. we laughed and finished our steaks before he said

"lets head up to bed" he picked me up and ran up the stairs with me and into our room before he put me down on the bed and crawled in beside me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"so babe I've been thinking and i wanted to ask you what you would think if i stopped wrestling and worked a normal job like at your dads gym"

"well i think you would be a very brave man and i'd love you even more but if your thinking about quitting because i did, don't do it for me baby i want you to do what makes you happy not what makes me happy and makes you miserable"

"so you wouldn't mind it if i was a normal guy and not a famous wrestler?" he looked in my eyes

"nope i wouldn't care because i love you for you not your name or money, if walking from WWE makes you happy i think you should do it. i promise you that i'm going to be by your side through it all, thick or thin because i love you and i always will" i smiled at her before i kissed him softly

"you really wouldn't be mad?"

"not if it makes you happy, i just don't want you to quite because i did, i don't want you to feel like you have to because you don't, your decision is going to affect you more than me" i smiled softly at him

"your gonna stick with me either way?" he asked playing with my hand

"i'm going to stick with you either way"

he smiled and got up from the bed before he stood at his side of the bed and motioned his finger telling me to come over there.

i got up and walked over to him before he picked me up and put me on his waist before he turned and ran in the bathroom.

he sat me down on the sink and stood between my legs kissing me, he put his hands on the counter beside me and moved down to my jawline before he put his hands on my hips and started kissing my neck.

10 minutes later we were going at it in the shower again just like this morning.......... he's really hard to say no too.

--------------------------------------John's POV------morning 3 days later-----------------------------------

i woke up to my phone ringing, i reached over and picked it up to find the call is my mom

"hey mom"

"john where are you?"

"i'm in Philadelphia with christen why?"

"why are you in Philadelphia with christen?"

"i decided to spend thanksgiving with her"

"why didn't you tell me?"

"i did, i told you i'd be spending thanksgiving in Philadelphia with christen and not to expect me home because i wouldn't be there"

"since when do you not spend thanksgiving with your family?"

"its one thanksgiving mom, besides we have news to tell everyone later on today anyways"

"well it better be good news like you finally told christen that your in love with her"

"how did you know that? i never told you"

"john I'm a mother, i know these things."

"well don't say anything to chris's mom and dad yet we haven't told them"

"alright. just enjoy the holiday then"

"i will mom, sorry i wont be there with you guys this year"

"no i think you guys will make a great couple and this is good for you"

"thanks mom, i gotta go chris isn't up yet and i'm afraid i'm going to wake her"

"alright i'll see you after the holidays"

"yeah, love you mom"

"you to son" she hung up and i looked down at chris who hasn't moved an inch, i moved her long dark red hair to the side before i started playing with it. 

i laid there playing with her hair a little while longer till she woke and slowly looked up at me before she gave me a sleep filled smile.

"good morning princess!" i whispered

"morning johnny"

"we should probably get up, your parents are home"

"yeah i guess we should than, i should get my hoodie over there and put it on in case mom comes in" i reached over  and picked up her hoodie and shorts

"we can stay like this a little longer"

"i'd like that" she smiled and laid her head back on my chest.

we laid there another 15 minutes than her mom knocked on the door

"chris you up?"

"yea mom"

"okay, wheres john? his stuffs gone"

"morning Mrs balboa" chris smiled at me

"john?"

"yes ma'am?"

"what are you doing in chris's room?"

"we had a movie night and i fell asleep"

"oh ok.. well you two come downstairs and get some breakfast, everybodys going to get here soon"

"alright mom" she walks down the hall and back downstairs

"babe you could have just told her that we were together, pretty sure she's figured it out already"

"cause i love your moms breakfast and once your dad finds out we're together he's going to kill me so no more momma maggy's breakfast"

"he's not gonna hurt you babe, now lets get showered and get down there before dad and everybody else gets here and eats all the bacon"

"alright" we got out of bed and showered before we got dressed and walked downstairs.

"good morning everyone!"

"good morning sweetie" i smiled at momma maggy

"who all is coming today?"

"aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and a couple friends. don't worry we have tons of room for them and plenty for them to eat"

"are you sure it's okay that i'm here maggy?"

"you are like family john! of course its okay your here!"

"if your sure"

"i'm sure! now we need the table set, rocky needs some help getting the guest rooms ready and i'm going to need some help with the cooking"

"me and john can get the guest rooms ready if dad wants to set the table" chris says

"alright, get to work!"

"yes ma'am!"

we got up and headed upstairs, we made sure they all head extra blankets and towels in the bathrooms and anything else our guests might need.

"alright I think we're done!" chris smiled and hopped on my back so I could carry her down stairs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"alright I think we finished everything and I just got a text from your aunt Lauryn that they are about 10 minutes away"

"alright so we need to go get dressed, johnny come on"

"okay" she pulled me up stairs and we got dressed then headed back down stairs right when the door bell rings.

---------------------------------------chris POV----------------------------------------------------------------------------

we get half way down the stairs and the door bell rings

"we'll get it mom!" I yelled in the kitchen to mom and opened the door

"AUNT LAURYN!!!!!!" I screamed excitedly

"chrissy!!!!! where have you been? I haven't seen you in forever" she smiled widely

"I've been in tampa, bay Florida!  with this big guy!!" I smiled and introduced john to my aunt lauryn and uncle deacon then in came my childhood best friend and cousin mason and my other cousin Collin

"mase!!!! Collin!!" I screamed and picked up both mason and Collin in a bear hug before saying

"mase, Collin i'd like to you meet john cena! my best friend and trainer from tampa!"

"nice to meet you guys!" john smiled big behind me.

"nice to meet you too!!"

"alright y'all lets get y'all settled, john would you mind helping with the bags?"

"not at all!"

he helped aunt lauryn with her coat and showed them up to there rooms before he came back down with Collin on his back. I couldn't help but laugh.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a little bit later mom asked john to help in the kitchen so me, Collin and mason went for a walk

"so you moved to tampa and met john cena.......the real john cena?" mason asked me

"yup, I started contacting him a little bit before I left here and he agreed to train me and get me started in wrestling so I went to live in tampa and wrestle but now i'm coming back here"

"so you just moved to tampa not even 2 years yet ago and now your coming back here?"

"yea cause i'm not gonna be wrestling anymore, I got out of my contract with WWE on Monday"

"you quit wrestling to come back here? why, and what are you gonna do about john in there?"

"well we're gonna be together. we are together now, like boyfriend girlfriend"

"you guys are?"

"yea, just don't say anything yet, we haven't got the chance to tell my mom and dad yet"

"your mom already knew, she always has. everytime she would go with my mom she would say 'john loves christen I can tell, everytime we go down to visit her he's around and makes her laugh' she's proud chris"

"i know and i'm glad, theres just something she doesn't know about john..."

"good or bad?"

"good. he is a retired marine"

"your kidding me right?"

"nope, hes been out about 2 years"

"how did he wrestle if he was in the marines?"

"i don't know but I know hes a marine  and he loves me"

"i can tell, hes gonna love when hunter gets here."

"yea..... I figure he will end up in a fight with him before its over with, cause hunters going to keep pushing him and pushing him til he breaks just like he did with me"

"i know but I think john's got the upper hand, hes a professional instead of an underground MMA fighter"

"that's true, why is hunter even coming?"

"because Nicole is dragging him here with her"

"oh.. so how are things with you and Hayley?"

"she broke up with me"

"oh why?"

"she got tired of dealing with Ronnie"

"oh I get it now"

"yea, I figured"

"so what about you up there Collins?"

"its all good Chrissy, busy with school and mom and dad that's all"

"done anything fun?"

"i watched you on TV a couple weeks ago, that was fun"

"aww thanks little bud!"

"alright we better get back"

"alright" we turned and headed back to the house.

--------------------------------------------at dinner---------John's POV-----------------------------------------------

"everyone! the beautiful Ms Balboa and I have some great news to share with everyone" we stood up.

"we have recently admitted that we both have feelings for each other and this past week has made us discover what we want to be to each other. anyways she has been my best friend for almost 2 years and now she is not only my best friend but my beautiful girlfriend!!" we smiled and maggy stood up and said

"i am so happy for you two!!!! I knew you two would end up together!"

"congrats son! just beware you hurt my little girl, I will do worse to you"

"yes sir!"

we finished the meal a little while later and chris wanted to go out shopping so we went black Friday shopping.
