Jolie and Jon were working out together, Jon was lifting weights while Jolie was doing some exercises to strengthen her flexibility as a cooldown
She started with a handstand and then tucked and rolled into a handstand that turned into an inverted split and then she straightened
"That's some serious exorcism shit," Jon told her
"That was hot as hell though," he finished making her laugh
"You done with your workout babe?" She asked, drinking some protein shake from his bottle
She wasn't a WWE Superstar but after having Josie, she knew the importance of not only eating right but exercising so she could lose the baby fat she had accumulated
"Just about, I can't wait to see Josalynn," Jon told her and she smiled, she and Jon had been on the road and Josie had been staying some time with her grandparents
They began walking down the street towards where Jolie's parents lived, they were in Boston for a show, arrived this morning around 3am, went to the gym from 6, it was 9am now, so they thought to go see Josie
"Fuck." Jon said as his steps faltered and Jolie's eyebrows creased
"You okay babe?" She asked concerned
"I just realized I haven't seen John and Carol since we broke up that last time," he said, eyes wide and Jolie bit her lip, knowing her dad wasn't the biggest fan of Jon right now
"It'll be fine babe," she dismissed with a small smile
When they got there, they both got the shock of their lives when Jolie's mom came and hugged Jon tightly, he froze and glanced at Jolie before hugging her back
"It's good to have you here sweetie," she said with a smile and Jon replied the smile with one of his own
"Jonathan Good." They heard and Jolie froze as they turned to meet the hard eyes of Jolie's father
"Mr. Cena," Jon replied after he gulped
He walked over and Jon felt like melting under the scrutiny of his gaze, John Sr. had always liked him but he loved Jolie more than anything, he would kill anyone who hurt his ONLY daughter so Jon could only imagine how much hate he was harbouring towards him
"Good to see you." He said shortly, putting out his hand and Jon heard Jolie sigh in relief and he met the handshake with a firm grip
"You to sir." Jon replied with a smile, throwing in the dimples to sweeten the deal and John Sr. simply went back to his arm chair and sat down
"What changed?" Jolie asked her mom, staring at her father in amazement
"DADDY!" they heard and Jon didn't hesitate to get on a knee and open his arms for his little girl to jump into
"That." Her mom replied and Jolie smiled fondly
"Hey little lady," Jon greeted, picking her up and giving her a kiss on her head
"Grampa, grampa," Josie called, making grabby hands at the man in question and Jon walked over and sat on the couch, passing the child over before laying on the couch he'd spent much of his younger years on, all those family events he'd been invited to
"Tired son?" John Sr. asked his future son in law and Jon bristled, it had been so long since he heard that term of endearment from the oldest Cena
"We got in at an ungodly hour this morning," he replied and John Sr. nodded, understanding the demands of such a job
"I need to get down to the garage, I'll see you both later," John Sr. told them and kissed his wife's, daughter's and grand-daughter's heads before shaking Jon's hand and left
Jon was awake but was on the verge of dozing and Jolie couldn't help but smile at how domestic he looked, with her mom's dog, Toffee on his lap, Josie sitting by his knee and truthfully? Jolie needed to share this cuteness with the world
@JolieCena My babiesss😍❤😴 @DeanAmbrose
She smiled when Josie rested her head on Jon's ribs and proceeded to also fall asleep on top of him, then her smile widened when Jon rested his arm lightly over her and sighed in content
"Let 'em sleep sweetie, I'll make you some tea, c'mon," her mom said and she nodded and followed
"Jon looks good," her mom told her, putting some honey lemon tea, Jolie's favourite since she was younger
"We're engaged," Jolie told her and she nodded
"John-John told us as much," her mom replied and Jolie laughed
"You're still calling him that?" She asked and her mom chuckled. She had really cringey nicknames for her children
John was John-John
Dan was DannyBoy
Steve was StevieWeavie
Sean was Young Sean
Matt was MattyCakes
Jolie was the only one who had a normal nickname, her dad used to call her Jol, everyone else called her Jo
"That's one of my babies Jo," her mom said making them both laugh
"Are you happy?" She then asked after the laughter faded
Jolie smiled down at her teacup and looked almost bashful, she ran her finger around the brim and nodded before meeting her mother's eyes
"I'm so happy. Jon has really changed ma, he's no longer that kid that was scared of any kind of committment, he's not that irresponsible alcoholic anymore," she said with a frown
"He's a man who wants committment, I never thought Jon would ever ask me to marry him but he did, he doesn't drink himself into unconsciousness anymore, he's there for Josie, he always wants to be better for her, for me, for our family," Jolie said, rubbing her finger over her diamond ring that sat proudly on her finger
"I made a good choice ma, I can't wait to marry him," she said smiling as her mom took her hand
"You look so happy, I'm so proud of you, the both of you, you two are the best parents to Josalynn, she loves you two," her mom said and she smiled as she got up and saw Jon on his back now with Josie resting her head on his chest
"Thanks for your blessings ma, I'm glad dad approves to, I want you two as well as the hoodlums to be involved for my wedding," she said, referring to her 5 brothers as the 'hoodlums'
"I always knew, you know," her mom said and Jolie tilted her head
"Always knew what?" Jolie asked, puzzled and her mom smiled knowingly
"I always knew you and Jon would be together in the end, call it mother's intuition," she said and Jolie shook her head
"Josie-"
"Ain't got a thing to do with my grandbaby," her mom cut off and Jolie shut her mouth
"When you broke up and you went to stay in Tampa with your brother? That boy rung down the phone, always asking for you and about you, during the 3rd month, dad cancelled the landline, was too much expense,"
"He was scared Jo, but everyone with two eyes can see how much that boy loves you, how much he cares about you. That's the kind of love you never lose," her mom advised
Jolie looked at her briefly before looking to where her fiancé and their daughter were cuddled up on the couch, deep in sleep, Jon shifted, looking uncomfortable, he scratched his left hand's ring finger and then smiled when his nails met resistance on the silver band that Jolie had given him and his comfortable smile made Jolie smile and she turned back to see her mother was smiling to
"I won't." Jolie promised
