(It’s 2 hours since Shockwave went off air. Jackie and John Cena are shown getting out of their Aston Martin, Jackie storming straight off inside while Cena slowly follows her. Cena goes through the door of his house and chucks the keys on the side. He walks into the living room and slumps into a chair. He then puts his head in his hands. Jackie is walking up the stairs, but stops, turns and faces Cena.)
Jackie: John?
(Cena takes his head out of his hands, looks at his lovely wife and smiles.)
Cena: Yeah?
Jackie: Just so we’re clear… I don’t hate you. I’m just messed up. It’s not every day you find out your husband has a child with another woman you know. I hope you understand that you’re sleeping in one of the spare rooms tonight. I just need some time to gather my thoughts. I’ll see you in the morning.
(Jackie climbs the stairs and shuts a door. Cena sighs. Just then the face of his lover, Natasha, is seen through the door. Cena smiles at her as she takes a seat beside him.)
Natasha: “Well… if she reacts this bad to this.. I’d hate for her to find out about our little secret…”
Cena: “Hopefully it will never come to that baby.. then again, I’ve been thinking.”
Natasha: “Thinking about what?”
Cena: “About what I want in life… I think maybe I made a mistake before…”
Natasha: “With me, you mean?”
Cena: “Oh no… quite the opposite….”
(Cena leans in and kisses Nat. They look as though they might be getting carried away but then she stops. She backs off, and stares at Cena. He gives her a questioning look.)
Natasha: “Oh my God John…”
Cena: “What’s wrong?”
Natasha: “I think baby just kicked for the first time…”
(Cena looks at her, and then lets out a scream of excitement. He then places a hand on Nat’s stomach… but nothing happens.)
Cena: “Are you sure you didn’t imagine it…”
Natasha: “As sure as anything… just wait… it’ll happen.”
(Cena sits and waits there, just waiting for it to happen again. After a while of nothing happening, Cena and Nat retire to her own room for the night.)
(It’s the next day and Cena gets out of bed. He walks downstairs and sits in the same chair as yesterday. Jackie is in the kitchen and comes in, before sitting next to John. She kisses him on the cheek.)
Jackie: Morning John!
John: Morning honey. Bit weird for you to be all happy around me… I thought you were angry.
Jackie: Look, John, I was, but last night, I was thinking. We have always wanted a child, and maybe until my wrestling is done so you and I can have one of our own, we could look after little Eddie at weekends! Don’t get me wrong John, he’s your child so we can keep him even after our little one is born, but maybe Trish has a lot on her hands at the moment… Eddie is your child, right John?
Cena: Well, I thought Trish was on the pill, I mean, that’s what she told me, but since when could she be trusted. I bet the only reason she kept the baby is to get back at us for what we did, and I’m also betting she faked that damn injury. But, maybe looking after Eddie can be good practice for our baby? I’d love for my son, if he’s actually mine, to get to know his father. But, I don’t know if Trish will like it. Well, I am not ringing her to find out. I suppose you could ring Joy and get her to ask Trish if she’ll come to discuss things with us, it seems like the right thing to do.
Jackie: I suppose. I got no real problems with Joy, as long as she doesn’t let her loyalty slip…
(Jackie walks out to ring Joy.)
Cena: God, it will be weird having Trish here again… but some things have to be done…”
(A couple of hours pass and there is a knock at the door. John gets up to answer it. At the door is Joy Giovanni.)
Cena: Hey Joy! Wait, why are you here? Isn’t Trish meant to be coming round?
Joy: Trish wanted me to come with her, plus I need a word to Jackie anyway…
Cena: Really? It’s not about….
Joy: No, silly! It’s not about that. Anyway, can I come in to speak to Jackie a second?
Cena: Ok, come in. I’m not sure where she is though…
(Joy steps into the house of Mr and Mrs Cena and finds Jackie.)
Joy: Jackie! Hi!
Jackie: Hey Joy. Not being rude, but we were expecting Trish?
Joy: Trish asked me to come. But, I have to warn you, Trish is acting a little weird lately, I have no idea what she’ll do today, if anything starts, I’ll stop her…
Jackie: (Laughs) Don’t worry Joy, I’m sure I can take her. I already beat her once… which is why I’m the champion to this day!
(Joy mentions something about having to get Trish. She walks outside the door, and stands against the black limo she came out of. Joy opens the door of the limo and out steps Trish looking stunning in a red top, blue trouser dungarees with a denim muffin hat. She then reaches back into the limo and pulls out a black car seat with Eddie inside. His outfit is exactly the same as Trish’s except instead of a muffin hat, he is sporting a denim cap. Taking Eddie out of the car seat, she puts it inside and slams the door shut. The limo drives away.)
Trish: Eddie, wave to Daddy now. (Eddie lifts his hand and giggles) Close enough. Everything ok John?
Cena: Trish… this is business not pleasure. Anyway, come inside.
Trish: Shame… I’d prefer it to be pleasure… wouldn’t you?
(Cena shoots her a weird look. Trish and Joy come inside and immediately sit down in the living room.)
Trish: So, a lot’s changed around here. Anyway, where’s your Jackie, John? I hear she and you would like to speak to me.
(Hearing her name, Jackie enters the room.)
Jackie: Oh, Trish you’re here. Look, John and I didn’t invite you round here to fight with you. We just thought things needed to be sorted out…
Trish: Oh, I wouldn’t dream of coming over and fighting, and I totally agree with this discussion, I was thinking of calling anyway.
John: Look Trish, are you sure this baby is mine? Have you had a DNA test or something? Because it’s stupid for us all to get involved and make plans for things we’re not sure about.
Trish: I don’t need one, I know.
Cena: How?
Trish: I just know. Anyway, I want Eddie to be in touch with his father and his step-mum. If I didn’t, what sort of mother would I be? I’ve already sorted out Godparents. I thought we could maybe choose one each for Eddie. I’ve decided that Joy will be his godmother. She is my best friend after all. That’s why I invited her today. So, you can choose the godfather John.
Cena: Well, I think Chris would make a good godfather, but give me some time to think about it.”
Jackie: Yea, it can wait a little while right?
Trish: “I suppose…”
Cena: Well Trish, me and Jackie asked you over today, to discuss what days of the week we are looking after Eddie. Because as the father, I would like to be in touch with my son aswell. We were thinking that every other weekend, if you drop Eddie over here, then come and pick him up again on Sunday evening, that would suit us quite fine…
Trish: I couldn’t agree more. So, I think that’s all we need to say. John, I’ll be ringing in a couple of days to schedule our first mother-father-son day out. That should be a lot of fun! Oh and no offence Jackie, but it’s strictly for Eddie’s relatives… I’m sure you can find something to do while we’re gone. I’ll see you both later.
Joy: Bye John, bye Jackie!
(Joy smiles before shutting the door.)
Cena: Jackie, I’m not going on a day out with her, don’t you worry.
