Endlessly ( A Dean Ambrose Story)

Chapter 23: Meet The Halliwell's

The next morning we woke up to Sharon calling us down for breakfast.
"So what time are we planning on leaving?" Joe asked yawning.
"As soon as we eat and pack." Tyler answered.
"Well Jon and I are going to my mom and dad's."
"I want to hurry up and leave Anna. We leave for France tomorrow." Tyler said.
"Then go ahead and go. No one is stopping you, but I promised my mom that Jon and I would stop by so that they could see me and meet Jonathan. Jacob is staying for church so when he's done with that we'll just follow him."
"Alright."
After we ate breakfast, we left to head to my parents house. I could tell Jon was nervous but I assured him that he'd be okay.
"Hey babygirl!" My mom said hugging me.
"Hey Mama!"
"There's my girl!" My dad said hugging me.
"Hey dad!"
"Who's this fellow?" He asked.
"Mom, Dad, I'd like you to meet my boyfriend Jonathan. Jon, this is my mom and dad." Dean shook their hands and they looked him over.
***Dean's P.O.V***
I was a nervous wreck. Her parents could probably tell. Her mom was petite like Anna, but I wouldn't put it past her that she could scrap if it came down to it. Her dad was taller than I was and built pretty manly! Biker is what he struck me as.
"Well I hope you made him pack some church clothes, but if not I'm sure we could find him something."
Church? Something told me that Anna forgot to mention to them that I'm not a religious person.
"No daddy I completely forgot."
"Forget? Who forgets the most important thing on Sunday? Well son, let's go hunt you down some good lookin' clothes."
I followed him to his bedroom while he searched his closet.
"So tell me, where do you go to church?"
"I've never been to church sir."
"Do what now?" I could tell her father did not like my answer. "What kind of parent never takes their kid to church?"
I chuckled at this.
"Never really had parents sir." He looked at me funny, grew silent and crossed his arms across his chest and told me to have a seat.
"What happened to your parents?"
"My dad walked out and my mom got involved in things that made her incapable of taking care of me."
"What kind of things?"
"Drugs mostly...prostitution."
"I'm sorry to hear that son. No one should go through that."
"It's fine sir. I raised myself and I've done well on my own."
He was about to speak but Annas mother called, "Boys let's go! Jacob and Lexi are here and we're running late!"
***Annaleigh's P.O.V***
The two of them strolled down the stairs and Dean could not have looked more handsome! He wore a black collared button up shirt, black slacks, and shoes to match.
"Wow! Don't you look all handsome!" I said smiling.
"Why thank you honey but your boyfriend needs the comments. Not your daddy." My dad teased.
"That's who I was addressing!" I laughed.
We left and made it to the service just in time. I was nervous for Jon. I knew he wasn't a church goer and I didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable.
***Dean's P.O.V***
I was uncomfortable at first, but everyone greeted me as if they had known me their whole lives. The service started and the sermon hit home for me. It was about circumstances and happenstance. That the events leading up to where I was today did not happen by accident. That everything that has happened was building me up to be the person I was destined to be and to be who the people around me needed to be. The first person I thought of was Anna. I met her for a reason! It was no accident that she walked into my life... I was sure of it! Why, if there was a Big Man upstairs, that he felt the need to give me Annaleigh, that I somehow deserved her and her I, I will never understand. But I am very thankful that he gave me this chance with her. The sermon ended and we closed with a song. Even the song had meaning.

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt?
Who am I, that the bright and morning star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart?
Not because of who I am
But because of what you've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who you are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still you hear me when I'm calling
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling
And you told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours...

***Annaleigh's P.O.V***
I looked over at Dean and he was lost in the song. In fact, he was lost the whole entire sermon. I was curious to know his thoughts but knew that this was between him and God.
We left the church and headed back home for lunch. It was BBQ. I was helping my mom and Lexi set up the table while Dean and Jacob helped my dad.
"He's a fine young man Annaleigh." My mom said.
"Thank you Mama. I was hoping you'd like him."
"Well I didn't at first but your dad spoke very highly of him. Saying he brought himself up."
I was in shock! I was very surprised Jon had opened up to my dad that quickly.
"Yea. His dad left and his mom had an addiction. He pretty much raised himself and graduated high school on his own and worked hard to follow his dream in professional wrestling." I explained.
"Wow! He has dedication. He had something to work for!" She said smiling at me while Lexi laughed.
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying that he just may be the one for you. I've seen how he looks at you. He's in love. I see it with you too. And I have little spies informing in all that is happening in your life." My mom said proudly. I shook my head. Leave it to my mom to spy on me.
We ate and talked and my parents got to know Jon a little better, which I was glad for. The hard part was over.
"Well, as much as I love you guys, we've got to hit the road. We have an early flight tomorrow." Jacob said.
"Where are y'all going?" My mom asked.
"France."
"Ooh! Bring me back some souvenirs!"
We loaded up, bid goodbye to my mom and dad, and headed back to Nevada. The taping for Raw was 2 days from now, but we wanted to get there early and sight see. The road trip back home was a quiet one but comfortable.
"Thank you for coming with me this weekend." I said breaking the silence.
"You're welcome princess." Dean said smiling.
"Sorry about the whole church thing. It completely slipped my mind."
"No it's okay. It was actually really good! Something I needed to hear."
"I'm glad. My parents are very fond of you."
"Oh yea? I was hoping they would be." He said smiling.
I could tell he was in deep thought so I decided to just take a nap. We finally made it home late in the evening. Joe, Seth, Galina, and Leighla were all in town because we would be traveling together in the morning, so I invited them all to stay. As I was heading to bed I noticed Dean on the balcony. I wanted to go talk to him but noticed that he looked to be having a serious conversation with Joe, Roman, and Seth. I decided that when he was ready he would come to bed.
