It was the day after Wrestlemania 25 and everyone was winding down after their brutal matches. Jeff Hardy was on his way to Cameron, NC, to visit his father, Gil Hardy. Unknown to him, so was his volatile brother, Matt. Adding even more fuel to the fire, Gil had a really big surprise for them both, something that would turn their worlds upside down…

"Jeff!" Dad said, running out to hug me. I smiled and hugged him back, until I saw the other car in the driveway. Glaring at me with utmost loathing from the doorway to the house was my brother. I frowned at him.

"Now boys," Dad began. "Now isn't the time t—"

"Mr. Hardy! Mr. Hardy!"

A young boy came running up and nearly collapsed at Dad's feet. His sides were heaving, suggesting that he'd run quite a ways.

"Good heavens, Haku!" Dad said, holding the boy steady. "What's wrong?"

"Momma *pant* in trouble *pant* bullets *pant*"

That was all Dad needed to hear as he handed me the quaking boy and took off at top speed, whipping out his cell phone.

"Leroy!" he shouted in panic. Leroy? Wasn't that the sheriff? "Find her! Quickly! Find my daughter!"

I froze, along with Matt and Beth. Dad, on the other hand, raced out of sight. Haku started crying, bringing us all back as we turned to look at the boy. Beth recovered first and took him from my completely numb body.

"It's okay honey," she said, trying to soothe him. "It'll be okay… I promise…"

I had a nephew…

"What about the others?" he sobbed. Beth was confused. Others?

"Who?" she asked.

"My brothers and my sister!" he answered, turning his eyes up to look into Beth's. He has amber eyes…

"I'm sure they're going to be just fine, too," she assured him.

"Yeah," Matt added, putting a gentle hand on the boy's shoulder. Haku looked up at Matt and gave a small smile. "They'll be just fine."

Haku nodded, then studied Matt carefully.

"Uncle Matt?" Haku said. "Are you upset?"

"Yes," Matt answered honestly after a momentary pause. Then he smiled and ruffled Haku's hair. "But not with you."

I swear I just saw Haku's golden eyes flash green for a moment…

"Don't worry or feel bad, Uncle Matt," Haku said, taking his hand. "You'll like Momma and Grandpa wanted to tell you but Momma said that some things are meant to be learned on one's own, not spelled out."

I all ready knew this "Momma" was not going to be one of my favorite people. How old was this kid anyway? He sounded like an adult!

"Haku!"

"Kalub! Matthew! Raymond! You're all right!" Haku cried, scrambling out of Beth's arms and running over to hug his brothers. The baby was crying very loudly. Haku looked despairingly at Matt, so Matt walked over, Beth right behind him. Beth went to touch the baby but he just wailed louder, making her reel back. She looked at Haku, confused, then grew surprised (if not shocked) as the baby silenced as soon as Matt picked him up.

"Ray doesn't like strangers," Haku explained, only confusing Beth more.

"But he's never met Matt before either!" she pointed out. Haku nodded.

"Yes, but he likes Uncle Matt's scent," he continued, making it sound like it was completely normal for a baby to know someone's scent that they don't even know and latch on. "He won't sleep unless he can smell Uncle Matt. When we got here, he rolled around on the floor until he found one of Uncle Matt's shirts. Whenever we take it away, he wails like a banshee. He just likes Uncle Matt."

Then Haku reached into his pocket and pulled out a cell phone. He looked at something and his eyes lit up.

"What is it?" asked one of the boys. Haku smiled.

"Momma and Kamiel are all right," he told his sibling. "Momma's getting a few stitches and wrapped up. Kamiel just got grazed, not more than a cat-scratch. Grandpa's bringing them home. Momma said Grandpa wants Uncle Matt to man the grill, using the steaks Momma seasoned. Uncle Jeff and Aunt Beth get to babysit everyone but Ray, as he won't want to be far from Uncle Matt. Momma also says all laundry goes to the wash room. She'll start on it when she gets home. Any questions will be answered by Momma and Grandpa upon their return."

Okay. Who did this woman think she was?

"Okay," Beth said. "C'mon Jeff, kids."

Huh? What? We're actually going to obey?

"Haku, would you show me where the steaks are?" asked Matt.

"Yes, sir!" Haku said, leading the way with a bright smile.

"What's your names?" asked Beth. The two boys smiled. The taller one spoke first.

"I'm Kalub," he said.

"I'm Matthew," said the smaller one.

"How old are you?" she asked, taking their hands and leading them inside. I looked up at the sky.

Why me?
