tw: pregnancy, illness, death

born and raised in Fallbrook, North Carolina to John and Naomi Wagner. Johnny is the middle child of three, having both a younger and older sibling. 

his father played for the North Carolina Panthers after he was drafted from college and retired not too long ago and was the reason that Johnny got into football in the first place. He has been playing since he was old enough. 

Despite being a middle child, Johnny did not feel overshadowed by it. He found his own way, taking football by charge with neither of his other siblings showed nearly as much interest. For the longest time, Johnny was convinced he was going to follow in his father’s footsteps. 

In high school, he dated Stevie Rivers. They were the ultimate couple, the ones that everyone envied because they were simply so perfect together. They were always voted most likely to stay together after high school and get married. And Johnny had believed them. For four years the two of them were together.

And then high school came to a close and the two had different plans for the futures. Johnny was offered a full ride scholarship due to his football playing and Stevie was staying close to home. Instead of making each other suffer with long distance, they parted way on good terms. It left all Fallbrook in shock. 

It wasn’t the end of their relationship entirely. When Johnny came home over breaks, he got together with Stevie almost exclusively. Which, in turn, led to her becoming pregnant. However, this was at the point in his life where he found himself in a binding contract for up and coming research that he could not back out of. No matter how much it tore him apart. 

Johnny did what he could from a distance, came to see Stevie when the twins were born and soon after, he had to return. Summers were spent in Fallbrook, at least for a few weeks where they could pretend to be a family for a while before he returned to Colorado once more. 

This worked for them, as much as it could and they remained in each other’s lives as best friends and for the sake of the twins. There wasn’t anything Johnny wouldn’t do for his kids, Zoe and Logan. In this same time period, Johnny was introduced to new family when his cousin Verity Sinclair came to stay with his parents. While he wasn’t around much, the two quickly bonded. 

There never seemed to be a right time for Johnny and Stevie by the time his contract was coming to a close after nearly two times of renewing it. At each time the contract was up, one of them was in a relationship and he couldn’t bring himself to move. However, in the fall of 2021, his mother became sick. While Johnny was sure it was the first time she was sick, it was clear to him after she passed that it was not. His father had been covering it up so the kids did not have to worry. It had always been his mother’s wish. 

Now he is back in town for good and dealing with his emotional loss over a woman he never deserved after he left town. With Stevie pregnant with Javier’s baby and her in a relationship with him, Johnny has no choice but to finally move on from her, as hard as it might be.

“Of course it does. You know I love Stevie.” He always had too. Since the kids were little, he liked the girl and they grew close and he was happy to have them together. They reminded him of himself and Naomi for the most part. A smile crossed his face as he asked to see the rings and he nodded. “Come on.” He said and led him to the stand in the living room where he kept them. “Here’s your mom’s and this this one was her grandma’s.” He said and handed him the ring boxes. “You do it when you think the time is right. That’s the best moment.”

“I do too.” Johnny had loved Stevie for practically his entire life. She was the one person that always had his heart, no matter where he was or who he was with. Johnny followed behind his father as he led him to the living room where he kept the rings. “Wow,” he let out a breath, looking at both the rings before him. He didn’t know how he’d choose, but he figured his mother’s ring would be most sentimental to them both. With her more recent passing, he wanted to honor her. “You sure it’s okay, to take moms?” He didn’t want to upset his father by doing so.

She smirked up at him. “You can’t prove a thing.” She teased him before nodding. “Of course I do.” Stevie always thought whatever Johnny did for their dates was amazing. He knew how to make her happy and she couldn’t believe they were finally doing this again. She kissed him deeper as he did and her arm moved around his neck as they kissed there. A decade worth the wait for this and it felt like it had been too long, but also like they hadn’t missed a thing. After a moment, they parted and she took a deep breath. “I… just wanted to do that before we get interrupted again.” She said breathlessly and smiled at him.

As their lips came apart from one another, Johnny felt a sudden longing for more. It had been a decade since they had kissed and it was a decade worth waiting for. Johnny couldn’t wait to do it again but they had a date to enjoy. “You have always been a smart woman,” he smiled at Stevie, taking his hand to lace it with hers once more. He brought her hand to his lips, brushing them along her knuckles. “but we have a date to enjoy before you try to take advantage of me anymore,” he teased her with a growing grin. It was likely one that would be plastered on his face for the rest of his life.

Rori’s eyes blinked softly as her lips curled in on one another. She was aware that it wasn’t like Johnny was about to just leave her alone after she made a statement like that. But it hadn’t stopped the words from leaving her lips. However, giving herself that grace was one thing, but giving him the grace back for thinking that it was due to her not wanting to spend time with him happened to ping a bit of frustration from the woman. “Don’t want to hang out with you? You’re supposed to be my best friend, Johnny. You’ve been away from Fallbrook forever. This is our first Cherry Blossom Festival together since who knows when. You think I didn’t miss you?” The problem was, the only one he had seemed to miss was Stevie.

“Supposed to be?” The words hit the man differently than he expected they would. He knew that he hadn’t been the most attentive and it was clear to him now that he needed to step up his friendship game. Rori remained to be someone in his life and he had been neglecting a life-long friendship with his chance to be with Stevie again. Johnny swallowed hard, “Rori, I’m sorry,” he turned to look at her, “I’m startin’ to realize I haven’t been the best of friends and that’s goin’ to change.” Starting now. “Whatever you want to do, I’m in. I’ve missed you,” Johnny told her, “and I’ve been a damn fool but you should know that’s nothing new.”

melisaosmcn​:

Some of the booths were closing up and Melisa was going to stop by Hilltop’s booth to see if Stevie had any pastries leftover that she would give Melisa to take home. The line had only a few stranglers and she busied herself with flipping through some photos on the camera as it moved up, not even paying attention to who was manning the booth. That was until she got to the front and they spoke. Her head snapped up and she felt herself stiffen. Johnny. It was no secret that Melisa wasn’t a fan of Johnny. She hadn’t been in the beginning of their relationship when Stevie had the twins and he was never home. And since coming back, her dislike of him had only grown. Part of her was projecting her own hatred of herself for leaving everyone she knew behind after Dev. He left too, they were both terrible. But while she had Dev as what chased her off, Johnny only had his job. “Orospu çocuğu.” Melissa muttered, knowing Johnny didn’t understand her. “I can see that.” She replied a little stiffly. Turning off the camera, she tucked it back in the bag and shifted. Melisa didn’t want to ask him for pastries, she just wanted Stevie. “Do you know where she is?” 

Johnny looked up as Melisa spoke, knowing the woman had a strong dislike for him. It contributed to the fact that she spoke Turkish, purposely knowing that he wouldn’t be able to understand her. Instead of saying something in return, Johnny smiled at her, not wanting to make the rift between them any greater. He could understand why Melisa didn’t care for him, but he was trying to make up for that now and hoped the woman would eventually end up on board since he was going to marry Stevie this time around. “I don’t,” he shook his head, “I think she went to go deliver some pastries,” he told Melisa, “you’re more than welcome to stick around until she gets back.” Though he didn’t think the woman would do that with him there, “but I get it, with me here and everything,” Johnny shrugged his shoulders, “she went over in the direction of the ring toss game if you want to hunt her down instead.”

He waved his hand. “That’s nothing. You were still in each other’s lives so that doesn’t matter.” He tried telling him. He just wanted his son happy and he knew that with Stevie, he would be. He would’ve been years ago too. A smile crossed his face as he heard his son say he was going to marry the woman now. “Good. About time.” He said and looked at him. “Well, I have some rings for you to pick from when you do it. One’s your mom’s and the other is her grandma’s. Just let me know if you wanna see them.”

“I figured that’d make you happy.” Not that his father didn’t already think of Stevie as part of the family. She had been since they were dating in high school, plus the addition of grandchildren really brought them all together. “Can I see them now?” Johnny questioned, looking over at his father. “I just want to be prepared this time. I don’t want to propose too soon but I’m not waiting for ever either.” No, not when they had waited long enough.

She knew the way they became parents wasn’t expected, but she also knew neither regretted it. They were always meant to be a family and now they were getting that chance to be with each other like they were supposed to be and neither were letting it go again. “Of course, I do. I have a lot of things. Including the first Valentine you ever gave me and your high school jersey.” She grinned. “I may have stole that, though.” She admitted to him with a smirk. “This is already special.” She said and looked into his eyes while he said she deserved this. She loved him so much and her heart just swelled with that love every time they were together. And before they did anything else, there was something she wanted to do. So, she stopped them from walking and moved so she was standing in front of him. She looked into his eyes and touched his cheek before leaning in and kissed him softly for the first time since the twins were born. Her hand moved to the back of his neck as they did and the world around them went quiet.

“I definitely think you stole that one,” not that Johnny had ever said anything about it. He was happy that she had taken it, always loving to see her sport it after the fact. “I’m glad you think so,” Johnny wouldn’t have it any other way. After not being able to be with Stevie for so long, he knew he had to make up for lost time. As she stopped them from walking, he parted his lips to ask her if something was wrong. If it was, he would fix it. Before he got the chance, she was looking into his eyes, her hand grazing his cheek. Johnny was never as lost in someone as he was with Stevie when she looked at him. If he wasn’t made up of bones, he was certain he’d be melting into the ground before her. Especially as she leaned in to press a soft kiss to his lips. His heart beat quickened in his chest and he placed his hands on her waist, pulling her closer to him as he deepened their first kiss in ten years.

 Verity made a slight grimace at his words as she wasn’t ready for the twin to grow up just yet, so she could only imagine what her cousin was going through. “Yeah, I guess that is a pretty fair statement.” Verity chuckled as she was not only a woman herself, but had two younger sisters, so it wasn’t that she was unfamiliar with what Zoe might be going through. “Wait what?” Verity’s eyes widened in surprise at the information. “Are you and Stevie back together?!” 

Johnny couldn’t help but laugh at Verity’s question as her eyes widened in surprise at the thought. “I mean, yeah, we are.” For all intents and purposes, the two were dating again. It took him back to high school, the same fresh nerves he got when he asked her out for the first time. “We went on a date, over the Cherry Blossom Festival,” he told Verity, “our first date in fourteen years?” He had to think on the math, “and even had our first kiss in ten.” Johnny’s own cheeks were flushing red with the thought. “I’m goin’ to marry her, Ver.”

The man followed his son into the kitchen and listened to him talk about what was happening with him and Stevie. “Not official? You two have been official since you were kids.” Nick argued a little, but didn’t mean anything bad by it. “You should’ve married her when she was pregnant with the Zoe and Logan. I don’t know if taking things slow is going to change the fact you two are meant for each other.”

Johnny chuckled, “You and the rest of Fallbrook might think that but we did spend a decade or so apart,” he told his dad, shaking his head. As much as he would have loved to spend all those years with Stevie, he tried to think that this had happened for a reason. Even if it was far from how they ever saw it looking back when they were young and in love. “I know I should have,” he averted his gaze a moment from his father. “I’m going to marry her now, though, dad. It doesn’t make up for the past, but I’m going to make it right.”

She laughed and shook her head. “Nope, but when they did of age, they ended up with twins.” She winked at him. “I still have our crowns, by the way.” Though, she figured he knew that. She always kept things that were part of memories and would probably find something to keep from this date too, if not everything. “I didn’t.” She laughed softly and shook her head. “I know full well you’re going all out for this. You could’ve just took me on the Ferris wheel and I would’ve been happy.” She assured him and she knew he knew that, but she still said it. “You could never disappoint me.”

“That we did,” and while it wasn’t the most ideal turn out, Johnny wouldn’t have it any other way. He knew, that though there would be regrets that would come bubbling up in his life, he was getting to be with Stevie from this moment forward and there should be nothing to take away from that. “You do?” Johnny wasn’t entirely surprised, but a bit, considering how many years they had spent apart. “I s’pose I can’t be surprised,” he smiled at the woman, “I know I could have done that,” Johnny knew that she wouldn’t be disappointed with simplicity. They had known each other for practically their entire lives, “but, I wanted to make this special. We deserve this, you deserve this.”

She laughed softly and stared at him with so much love and happiness. She couldn’t believe she ever thought that he might not be the one for her. “Sorry. Forgot we have an image to uphold.” The mother teased and rubbed the skin of his hand absentmindedly. “For starters? You have a whole thing planned then?” She asked curiously, but knowing who they were and what he did on dates in the past, she knew they were going to have a great night. 

“That’s right,” he teased her right back, “prom queen and king didn’t go around drinking before they were of age,” though that was exactly what they did. The two of them had always been inseparable, breaking the rules just enough, but never to get caught. He smiled softly as she rubbed the back of his hand, his hand squeezing against her own in response. “Stevie, did you forget who you agreed to go on a date with?” Johnny had always been known to go all out for their dates and especially for the first one in over a decade, “We didn’t go all those years apart for me to disappoint you with a mediocre date.”

Her heart felt like it took off and soared as he called her the most beautiful woman in Fallbrook. “And you never will be with her.” She smiled brightly at him and watched him stare at her with that same look he had for as long as she knew him. “You make that sounds like it stopped us before.” Stevie joked while she took his hand and gave it a soft squeeze; making a mental note to make sure to pump for a bit to get the alcohol out of her before feeding Ali. “Only us? Johnny Wagner, did you get us private game booth time?” 

Johnny’s heart thumped happily in his chest at her words. The woman before him was a woman he didn’t want to live another day without and he knew that he wouldn’t have to. “Shh, they might hear us,” he teased, as if anyone was going to chide them for something they did back in high school when they were in their thirties with children. “Me?” He shrugged his shoulders, though he turned his head to grin at her as he guided her toward the fenced off area. “I might have done something like that, at least for starters.”

Maybe it was the fact that the festival was this weekend, one she used to love to go to. Spring was one of her favorite times of year, or used to be. And that combined with the fact that she felt like she was never going to find the sort of happiness that Johnny had. “I don’t know Johnny, I don’t think I want to go this year. I’m not in the mood. You have your whole family to enjoy it with–dunk tank with me sounds pretty lame compared to that.” She shook her head softly, trying to pull together a smile.

Johnny kept his gaze on Aurora, “I do have a whole family to enjoy it with but I also know that my best friend deserves to have some fun too. Even if you don’t want to go to the festival,” Johnny shrugged his shoulders, knowing Stevie and the kids wouldn’t miss him for a few hours when he knew his father was out spoiling them. “unless you don’t want to hang out with me at all,” he was beginning to feel like he was the reason for her not wanting to go hang out.

Stevie was trying to trying to rush to get back to the festival. After getting Ali to Leanne and finishing up at the booth, she rushed home to get changed for the date she had with Johnny. She was more than excited to finally be having this moment with him. After everything that happened and the years that they weren’t together, but still acted like a family, she was going to be taking Leanne’s advice and not let anything stop them now. The blonde knew in her soul that he was the one for her and it was time they acted on it. No more waiting or trying to put these feelings on hold. They were in the same place and going to be now an it was time they got together. After fixing her hair and getting changed into a white dress, she drove back to the festival and parked before going towards the entrance like planned. A smile crossed her face as she saw him and she walked over to him. “Excuse me, Sugar Pie, but you’re looking too handsome to just be standing out here on your own.”

The sound of a familiar nickname hitting his ears had him grinning like the fool that he was. Stevie Rivers. “It’s a good thing the most beautiful woman in Fallbrook just joined me, so I’m no longer alone.” Johnny couldn’t take his eyes off of her. Dressed in white, he only hoped that there would be another white dress he would get to see her in, in the future as their relationship progressed. “So, this is goin’ to take us right back to high school with the little kicker that we are both old enough to drink now.” Johnny held out his hand for her to take. “We can grab a drink first if you want, but I’ve lined up a few games for us and only us.” The professor had managed to line up the perfect date for Stevie.

“Maybe so,” he chuckled, nodding his head. It’s not like Johnny didn’t want something to happen but he didn’t want to rush Stevie. He wanted to make sure they did it right this time around. “Yeah, really?” His brows raised at the idea, “That would actually be really great. We’ve got our first date coming up,” rather a first date since they had been apart, “think I can be a quick learner?” Johnny was willing to put in the hours.

Oliver smiled hearing their first date was coming up. He was definitely rooting for the two and hoped it all went well. “That’s great. Let me know if you need help planning anything or whatever. I’m cheering you guys on.” He said before shrugging. “If not, nothing time can’t fix. We can definitely do something.” He said before hearing a student call his name. He smiled and waved before looking back at Johnny. “That’s my cue. I’ll see you later. Let me know how the date goes.”

A tinge of frustration with Johnny hit her in that moment. Or maybe it wasn’t just about Johnny. But in her heart she knew that a part of it was. It wasn’t as though it was his fault so she tried to curb whatever irksome feeling had popped up for her. But there had been a part of her, however small it was. That thought that with Stevie with Javier, Johnny might come back and finally see that there was more to this world than Stevie Rivers. Sometimes it felt like that was all she and Johnny talked about. And here the conversation once again was completely revolving around her. The man was in love. She couldn’t be mad. If anyone loved love, it was Aurora Juniper Hargraves. But she never got to be the one in love. A part of her just thought that maybe there had been something between them. If they could be this close of this friends, then what could that sort of foundation allow? She sighed softly, reaching out for his hand and giving it a couple of pats, “I know Johnny, I know. She’s your north star. I’m glad you got her back. You guys deserve to be happy together.”

“Thank you,” he felt that something was off, the way she sighed softly as she reached out for his hand. Johnny placed his hand on top of her own, “C’mon, we need to get out there and enjoy the festivities.” He suggested to her, hoping that would help distract the woman next to him from whatever was going on in her life. Johnny had been close to her for many years now and wanted her to be happy. “Where should we start? Are you willing to bet that you can dunk me in the dunk tank?” He teased, nudging her lightly with his shoulder as they remained seated.

starter for @steviexrivers​ location: cherry blossom festival 

While the twins were with his father and Ali with Javier, Johnny knew he had a short window for the two of them to enjoy their time together. It was only a matter of time before someone would need something from them. Yet, Johnny was determined to make this first date between them something special. He had told her to meet him at the entrance to the Cherry Blossom Festival, figuring they’d spend as much time together as they could. He arrived early, waiting for her, holding their wristbands for alcohol. The man had other things planned, but it would have to wait until she was with him. He rolled back on his heels, awaiting her arrival with great impatience. There was nothing more that he had been looking forward to than his very first date with Stevie in over a decade.
