A:N: Thank you to Caroline for reviewing and HartAttackKidd for story alerting! I really do appreciate it :) Here is the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own any recognisable person in this story. They either belong to Vince McMahon or they belong to themselves. However, if I could, I would definitely buy Harry Smith off of Vince McMahon. The Hart Family will be mentioned (of course!)

Also, I am not intending to disrespect any person in this story. Even though this chapter (and a couple other chapters will as well) is based off of true events, the way it is set out and all emotions/reactions etc, are fictional and were made up in my brain. I suppose reading different articles (especially ones with Martha Hart and the Owen Hart lawsuit) inspired me to write the events the way I have.

That being said, enjoy and review!


November 4th, 2001

I sat in the Dungeon, trying to avoid everyone. Grammy had passed away early hours of this morning and I was devastated. We thought she was going to get better, but she didn't. She just got worse. I sat in the small alcove that Teddy, T.J, Harry and I had set up. Everyone was leaving me alone, allowing me to have my space. Or they hadn't noticed that I'd gone. I felt some tears slide down my face and I sniffed, wiping my eye. All of a sudden, a shadow covered me and I looked up to see T.J.

"You want some company?" He asked. I nodded my head and allowed him to sit in front of me.

"You've been down here all day!" T.J said.

"How long have you been here?" I asked.

"I've been here for four hours. Your Mom and Dad said to just leave you alone. I finally decided to ignore them. I wanted to make sure they hadn't gotten rid of you and stuffed your body down here until they could find time to move you." T.J said. I rolled my eyes and hit his arm. I heard him laugh and I looked up at him.

"I'm going to miss seeing Grammy around so much," I whispered. T.J nodded and he leant forward to gently squeeze my hand.

"Grammy's up there, watching over us." T.J said. I nodded and my eyes travelled to his lips. I licked mine quickly and watched as he shifted even closer to me.

"Nat, I want to be the one that makes everything better for you." T.J said. I nodded and bit my lip.

"I'm always here for you Natalie." He said. I nodded again and placed my hand on the back of his neck. I gently pulled his face towards mine and our lips met in a soft kiss. T.J was shocked at first but then he responded, placing one hand on my waist and one on the side of my face. I pulled away and couldn't help but giggle when he kissed me a couple more times quickly. He pulled back and I rolled my eyes at the smirk that had spread across his face.

"Oh, get over it," I said, lightly shoving him.

"Wow, that was great, I might go brag to your family," T.J said, moving out of the small alcove. I quickly followed him and grabbed his arm. He spun around and I was caught by surprise when his lips covered mine again.


Afterwards, we went upstairs and I got something to eat and spoke to my family. T.J stayed with Teddy and Harry and he kept looking over at me with that same smirk on his face. Every time I saw him looking at me, I'd blush and turn away from him. Mom asked if she could speak to me out in the kitchen and I followed her out there.

"What's going on with you and T.J?" Mom asked. I shrugged my shoulders and sighed softly.

"Natalie," Mom said. I looked up and saw her trying to suppress a smile.

"We're just friends Mom," I said. Mom's eyebrows raised and she crossed her arms over her chest.

"I'm not stupid Natalie Katherine," She said.

"Well, we just kissed down in the Dungeon." I whispered. Mom smiled and looked out into the living room.

"T.J is a great guy; you guys will be very good together." Mom said.

"Well, I don't know what's going to happen from here on out Mom. We haven't even spoken about it." I said, allowing a sigh to escape my lips. Mom wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tightly.

"It will all work out how it's supposed to," Mom whispered. I nodded my head and agreed with her. I just hoped that T.J still wanted the same thing.

After trying to find a way to get T.J alone so we could talk, I finally received my chance when I spotted him coming out of the bathroom. I took him over to a spare room where we used to watch wrestling when we were little. I shut the door and locked it. T.J smirked and raised his eyebrows.

"Daddy wouldn't approve of this." He said. I slapped his bicep in irritation and he laughed, wrapping in his arms around my waist. I smiled and rested my head on his chest.

"So, what are we going to do?" T.J asked. I could feel his lips against my hair and I shrugged my shoulders and looked up at him.

"What do you want to do?" I said softly. I silently dreaded his answer. T.J smiled and pulled me over to the bed. We sat down and he held my hand.

"Natalie, I'd really love it if we could date." T.J said. I felt my eyes welling up with tears and I nodded my head. T.J pulled me into a hug and I held on to him tightly.

"Do we tell everyone today?" He whispered. I sighed and looked at the door.

"I don't care what everyone says." I said. T.J smiled and leant over to kiss my cheek.

After we left the room, I saw most of my family looking at us curiously. I rolled my eyes and walked out into the kitchen, with T.J following me.

"I'm pretty sure they all know anyway." T.J said. I smiled and shrugged, jumping up to sit on the counter. T.J came to stand in front of me and he placed his hands on my knees.

"At least I managed to make you feel better." He said. I nodded and reached up to rub his cheek gently.

"You always do," I whispered. I heard a fake cough and I turned to see Auntie Georgia smirking at us.

"We're never gonna get to have time alone in here," I grumbled. Auntie Georgia laughed and walked over to the fridge.

"Congratulations," She said. I smiled and T.J turned around to face her.

"Thanks Auntie George," He said. She smiled and walked over to us. I leant forward and wrapped my arms around her and she kissed my cheek.

"Try talking to your Mom. She just ran upstairs upset." Auntie Georgia said. I nodded and slid off the bench.

"I've gotta talk to Mom," I said to T.J. He nodded his head and I walked back upstairs.


"Mom," I said, knocking on the door to her old bedroom. It opened and my older sister Jenny smiled at me. I smiled back and walked in. Mom was lying on the bed next to Muffy and she was still crying. I made my way over to the bed and lay down on the other side of her. I cuddled into her side and rested my head on her shoulder. I felt Jenny lay down on my other side and her hand reached over my body to hold Mom's. None of us spoke but we all just laid there, listening as our Mom cried her heart out. I tried to imagine what it would be like to not have my own Mom and I realised how difficult it must have been. I mean, losing Grammy was definitely hard but it's not the same as losing your Mom. I cuddled into her further and sniffed. I closed my eyes before the tears started coming and I ended up drifting off to sleep.


I was woken up a few hours later, when I heard movement in the room. I looked outside and saw that it was dark. I turned to see our cousin Teddy lifting Jenny up and he carried her out of the room. T.J held his hand out and I took it, allowing him to pull me up. I smiled as his arms wrapped around me and he held me tightly to his chest.

"Did you have a good nap?" He murmured. I nodded my head and closed my eyes, trying to snuggle closer to him so I could feel more of his warmth.

"I'm gonna drive back to my apartment now and get some sleep myself. Come and say goodbye?" He asked. I nodded but refused to let go of him. T.J managed to get downstairs without injuring either of us and I heard him open the front door.

"Nat, you gotta let go!" He whined.

"I would... but I don't want to." I said. He slowly but finally managed to manoeuvre out of my arms and I reluctantly opened my eyes to pout at him. T.J smiled and placed his hand on the side of my neck. I could feel his thumb rubbing my skin and I blushed deeply. Our eyes locked and I couldn't look away. There was something different in his eyes.

"So, I will see you tomorrow?" T.J asked hesitantly. I nodded and slid my fingers through his.

"I would definitely like that. Do you want to come to my house or would you like me to go to yours?" I asked, as we made our way down to the car.

"What would you prefer?" T.J replied.

"I'll come over to yours all right? Probably at like nine in the morning because I'll come straight after the gym, that way you can experience smelly Nattie and then you can change your mind about dating me." I said. T.J rolled his eyes and he moved closer, his nose bumping affectionately against mine.

"I definitely won't be changing my mind about dating you; I'm not going to lose someone as special as you that easily." T.J murmured. I smiled and his lips connected with mine. When I finally pulled away, T.J got in the car and motioned back to the house.

"Now get your butt back in there before I drive off." He said. I smiled and bent down to kiss him again. Then I walked back into the house, turning at the door to see T.J driving out of the driveway. I walked inside and saw most of my family standing there with big smiles on their faces.

"What?" I asked, before walking back upstairs to take another spare bed.


I was definitely experiencing something new and it was all thanks to Theodore James Wilson.

I was finally experiencing love and the exciting thing about it was that it was only the beginning of our relationship.


A/N: So, here is the second chapter. I actually read in an interview with T.J Wilson that WWE signed him on November 4th, 2006, and it said in brackets that it was five years to the day that he and Nattie started dating). I find it extremely cute because November 4th, 2001, was the day that the Hart family lost it's Matriarch, the Queen Of Harts, Helen Hart. So, I believe that must have been an incredibly emotional day for Nattie and T.J and I know I haven't done it justice but I tried my best. I have always thought they must have been flirting for weeks and then when she lost her Grammy, they both found comfort in each other (because Helen or Stu once said that T.J Wilson was just like a grandchild to them, he grew up in their house just like everyone else). So, I really would appreciate it if I could get some reviews and feedback on this chapter! Once again, thank you to Caroline for reviewing Chapter 1 and HartAttackKidd for story-alerting it. :)
