April 1st 2006…
She looked across the room and saw that Martha Hart was here with hers and Owen's children… and 15 year old Amanda knew they were here to support Bret.
But she also wished that Martha would allow them to induct Owen.
Amanda felt a hand on her left shoulder and turned, giving a small smile… but Shawn wasn't fooled.
"It should be both Bret and Owen. Hell, it should be Flyin Brian, Bulldog and Anvil too." Amanda whispered, Shawn lightly hugging her.
"I know how you feel, kiddo. Bret and Anvil want their family to join them in the Hall Of Fame. Maybe one day, they'll induct all 5 of them." Shawn replied quietly.
"I really hope so." Amanda responded.
It was during Bret's speech that Amanda noticed Martha leave her kids with Natalya once Bret spoke about Owen… it was clear that Martha was mad and it was clear to Shawn that Amanda was confused as to why.
"Bret can't mention his own brother?" Amanda muttered.
"I have no idea why she feels that he can't. They're family no matter what." Shawn whispered.
"I'll be right back." Amanda replied quietly before she stood up and headed into the hallway… and saw Martha. "Can we talk, Mrs. Hart?" She questioned.
"Say it and get it over with." Martha responded.
"Bret still thinks about Owen. Everyday. That's why he mentioned him tonight, to remember him. It wasn't to hurt you, you're his family and he would never hurt his family." Amanda replied before she turned to head back into the room.
"Just like you didn't intend to hurt your friend when you left home?" Martha questioned, Amanda turning back around as she was caught off guard and looked up to look eye level with Martha.
Given that she was wearing 7 inch stiletto heels, it was easy to do.
"Leave her out of this. I just wanted to make sure you weren't mad at your brother in law." Amanda responded.
"I was never mad. Not as mad as how mad your friend was when you left her so she'll get her ass killed out there. I promise you, when you see her again that she'll never talk to you." Martha responded with her arms crossed.
"Martha, that's enough! Leave her alone!"
The two turned around, seeing Chris.
"Is she your kid? I don't remember you being a father of four." Martha responded as Chris shielded Amanda.
"Leave her out of this. She never done anything to you, but check on you." Chris warned.
Martha stormed off and Chris turned to Amanda.
"You've known her for as long as you've known the Hart family." Amanda replied.
"Yeah, but I wish she didn't turn her back and act like this to you. Are you okay? Did she hurt you?" Chris asked.
"She brought up Yukie… all I wanted to know was why Martha got mad about Bret talking about Owen. And the only time I met Owen was the night he died. I still have the autograph he signed." Amanda responded, Chris pulling her into a hug.
"At least, he gave you an autograph before he passed away, kiddo. But I'm sure things from here on will get better." Chris replied.
"Promise me one thing?" Amanda questioned, Chris nodding for her to continue. "One day, when they induct him that you'll be there to see it." She explained, Chris kissing her on her forehead.
"I promise, Little One. I won't forget." Chris responded with a smile.
The two headed back into the room, having calmed down…
Present time, April 3rd 2021…
"No!" 2 year old Liam protested.
"What's the matter, little guy?" Amanda questioned as she held the toddler sized blazer.
"He probably doesn't want to wear it." Finn suggested.
"True. It's alright, Liam, you don't have to wear it." Amanda replied, setting it aside and Liam smiling as they hugged.
But Liam also saw sadness in his mother's eyes… and looked at the picture of Owen in the Hall Of Fame program.
"Uncle Owen?" Liam responded, Amanda and Finn knowing that Owen would've considered Liam his nephew if he had gotten to know Amanda as well as Finn and Liam.
"I only knew him for a few hours but he was a good man, kiddo." Amanda replied as she picked Liam up… and he rested his tiny right hand on her swollen stomach.
"You just wish he was here for Liam and our second child, right?" Finn responded as he gave Amanda a side hug.
"Owen absolutely adored children." Amanda replied before Yukie and Jordan walked in with 21 month old Sarada.
"I don't wanna go!" Sarada cried.
"What's wrong, cousin?" Liam questioned.
"I wanna go to the toy store! Daddy lied!" Sarada cried.
"Your Uncle Jordan thought it was cute to tell Sarada that we're going to the toy store, but when she found out, she started throwing a fit." Yukie explained.
Amanda handed Liam to Finn as the baby kicked at the noise… and Sarada looked at Amanda's stomach.
"Baby sister?" Sarada asked.
"Baby cousin. Liam's little sister." Yukie replied.
"Sarada, we can go to the toy store in the morning. Okay?" Amanda responded, Sarada nodding.
And she looked at the program, seeing Owen's picture.
"You miss him, don't you?" Yukie asked.
"I still can't believe it's actually happening." Amanda responded as they hugged.
At the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, Amanda and Finn kept Liam close to them and Yukie and Jordan kept Sarada close to them.
Looking across the room, Martha saw Amanda… but was startled to see Liam and turned to Bret.
"You didn't know that she and her husband have a son?" Bret questioned.
"No, but I'm not interested in seeing him or her." Martha responded.
"Martha, it's been 15 years… Mandy was just trying to figure out why you were upset that night." Bret replied.
"Well, I didn't want her to know, she was just a little girl in a grown up world. She should've stay in Massachusetts, with her non english friend." Martha explained.
Amanda rubbed her stomach as the little girl growing inside of her kicked angrily, Liam lightly tugging on Finn's tie.
"Little sister is upset." Liam whispered, Finn resting his right hand on Amanda's stomach while keeping Liam on his lap.
"She is." Finn responded, before Sarada started looking around, without no one looking and got out of her seat, started crawling underneath the chairs.
Yukie and Jordan had caught up to her, Yukie picking her up and holding her close to her.
"Sweetheart, don't scare Mommy and Daddy like that." Yukie responded.
Amanda thought back to the night that she had found out about the inductees.
