plumbing question...hot water heater piping repair?

Hey, sorry for such an obvious question...but...I am about to slice off some pex plumbing that is leaking at the fitting (which is at the top of the hot water heater and is the hot water line toward the house) and refit it...so, I turn off the electricity. Then...turn off the hot water valves...and open them up in the sinks in the house to clear the water?...hmmm, I just want to make sure that when I cut the pex that there wont be water in the line come a spurting out...do I need to drain the whole hot water heater first? Sorry I an 8 years old (or at least that is what my wife keeps saying to me in a very loud and angry voice). Thanks.
