Chapter 1

Tabitha sat in her office on the 2nd story of an office building in Cameron and smiled as she saw the wedding picture of her and Matt that was placed in the middle of her desk. They had accomplished a lot since they had been married and it was hard to imagine what would have happened to each of them if the other hadn't come into their lives.

In the two years since their wedding day, the two had built a huge house on the outskirts of town and made a business venture that would forever be ingrained in the people of North Carolina's memory. Taking his old promotion, Omega, Matt had decided to start it up again. The only reason it had folded before was the fact he wasn't there to run it at all times because of the WWF. With Tabitha and Carrie at his side, he had decided to re-open and let them handle the day-to-day decision making and problems that came up in a promotion like that. He had taken many up and comers and made them into forces to be reckoned with in the ring. In doing so, Matt soon had one of the top wrestling promotions in the country and Jeff had a place to revive his Willow the Wisp gimmick, which pleased him beyond belief, but he had a place to come to once his professional wrestling days were over.

Tabitha sighed as she took her shoes off and rubbed her feet a little before getting back to work. A little while later, she heard the door creak open and looked up to see who was there. Her heart leapt in her chest as she saw Matt coming through the door with a dozen roses and a huge smile on his face. Getting up, she walked over to him and placed her arms around his neck. Matt pulled her closer and buried his head in her neck before pulling back.

What are you doing here today? I didn't think you would be in until tomorrow. She said as she kissed him softly on the cheek.

Well I was worried about you. You know I don't like to be away from you for more than two days at a time, especially now. He said leading her over to her chair and sitting down before pulling her into his lap.

You worry way too much, did Jeff come back with you? She asked as she played with a little strand of his hair.

Yeah, he's down there bugging Carrie as we speak. How do you feel today?

The usual. Tired and grouchy before you came in the door with your sexy, smiling face. She said laughing a little.

And how is Jr. feeling today? Matt asked placing his hands on her well rounded stomach as he looked up at her.

How many times do I have to tell you Matt, this is going to be a girl. She said shooing his hands away.

Nope, it's a boy. I thought we already agreed on it the other night. He said tickling her a little bit.

Not answering the question doesn't mean I've agreed. She said sticking her tongue out and laughing as he placed little kisses on her stomach.

At that moment Jeff and Carrie came running in. Jeff made a beeline for Tabitha and leaned down on his knees before putting his face up to her belly.

How's my little nephew doin in there? He asked in a child-like manner.

Argh, not you too? Tabitha said as she swatted his face away while he laughed.

Actually Carrie and I have our own little theory about what this Hardy is going to be. Jeff said getting up and putting an arm around Carrie's shoulders.

What's that? Matt asked looking over Tabitha's stomach at some of the papers on the desk.

Carrie and Jeff looked at one another before simultaneously shouting out.

TWINS! Boy and a girl, therefore you don't have to argue.

Matt looked at Tabitha wide-eyed as she gaped at the two like they were insane. Matt looked heavenward and rolled his eyes.

Please God, disregard anything Jeff says. I think all Tabitha and I can handle right now is one, especially if it's true what they say about your words as children coming back to haunt you when you have your own. He said as he gave Jeff a gun sign to the head.

Where do you guys wanna eat? Matt said as he navigated them into the downtown area.

I don't care as long as it's good and fast. Tabitha said finishing off her second cookie.

If you keep eating like that then you won't be hungry when we get there. Jeff said pointing at her.

Jeff do yourself a favor and don't argue with a woman who's six months pregnant. Carrie said slapping him on the back of the head.

Jeff shot her a glare and rubbed his head as he sunk lower in his seat.

Why are ya'll always hitting on me? Isn't enough that I get the crap kicked out of me in the ring on a regular basis. I'll be glad when this baby comes, then I won't be picked on anymore, there will be somebody younger than me. Jeff said as he stuck his tongue out at all in the car.

Somehow I think this baby will already have a maturity level much greater than yours rainbow. Carrie muttered under her breath while Matt and Tabitha laughed at their antics.

*****************

Well dinner was interesting. Matt said as he lay down in the bed and brought Tabitha into his arms.

Yeah I agree, I'll be glad when those two just give up this hate thing they've got going because they should know we don't buy it, not even for a minute. She said as she laid her head on his chest.

God, I hope I don't get much bigger, I'm finding it harder and harder to lay comfortably. She said as she switched sides a little and finally found a place that sat well with her.

Matt smiled tenderly at her and placed his hands over her belly, protectively.

You know how beautiful you are to me right? He asked softly as she lay her head in the crook of his neck.

Yeah, but sometimes I just need to hear you say it again. Tabitha said as she drifted off to sleep.
