No reviews or anything. That's sad. Oh well. I still am posting this. Own nothing recognized.
Alex entered the kitchen and grinned, seeing her older non-biological brother. "Jerky!" "Hi Ali-cat." She hugged him tightly, which he returned. "I've missed you, big brother." "I've missed you too, little sister." "You ready to meet him?" "Yeah." Kendal carefully handed Matthew to her, and she handed him to Chris. "Jerky, meet your godson, Matthew Michael." "Godson?" "Yeah." She was surprised when he sniffled. "Thank you." He then looked at Matthew. "He looks a lot like Matt. Your eyes and nose though." "I know." "He'll be a little heartbreaker when he's older." "Don't I know it." They looked up when a voice exclaimed, "auntie!"
Alex turned and smiled, seeing her nephew. "Aiden." She knelt and Aiden hugged her. "Where's your sister?" "Right here", a little voice said. Alex turned and seen Chey, Summer behind her. Alex hugged her, then stood to hug her visually pregnant friend. "How much longer?" "Little less then 3 months." "Chris, you better be there for that." He laughed, still holding Matthew. "I will be. I don't have much planned for March." "Good. What are you having?" Summer said, "another girl." "Named?" "Haven't decided." "Okay." Summer, Aiden and Chey, who had help, all held Matthew, who soaked up the attention.
Soon enough though, everyone but Kendal left. Alex seen Kendal bite her lip nervously and asked, "what's wrong?" "Can I ask you something?" Alex seen the serious look and nodded. "How did you know that you were pregnant?" "Well, morning sickness. And I missed my period. Why?" "I might be." "What?" "I'm late. And, I've been dealing with morning sickness." "Got any tests?" "A few." "Go take them. I'll wait with you. I have to feed him anyways." "Okay." Alex was feeding Matthew when Kendal returned, taking a nervous breath. "Shan know?" "Not yet. I didn't wanna say anything and have it be a bug." "Understood." Alex burped Matthew and put him down for his nap.
She came back and asked, "do you wanna be pregnant?" "Yeah. I mean, both Matt and Jeff have kids now. And, I've always wanted them." "Does Shan?" "I asked him and he said yeah." The timers then went off. "Do you wanna look?" "Not really. Will you?" "Sure." Alex went and checked, coming back. "So?" "So, they all came back with the same result. Welcome to the world of swollen ankles and mood swings." "I'm pregnant?" "Yep." Kendal hugged her tightly, grinning. "Don't tell anyone yet?" "I won't. I promise." "Thank you." "You're welcome."
Soon enough, it was the night of Matt's big Christmas bash. Alex was happy for that night. A friend was scheduled to watch Matthew and Ruby at Matt's house, not big on partying. She had just changed into a red tee when arms wrapped around her waist. She looked at him through the mirror, leaning back. He kissed her neck and said, "I love you, Alex Hardy." "I love you too, Matt Hardy." He nuzzled her neck, and she smiled. She faced him, linking her hands with him. They just stared at each other, conveying silent words of love. They soon kissed, and broke apart at the sound of knocking. Matt groaned and said, "I should answer that." "Yep. I have to finish getting ready, anyways." He nodded, stole a kiss, and left. Alex smiled and finished up, smiling.
At the party, she stopped Kendal. "Tell him yet?" "No." "Why?" "I've chickened out. Doctor confirmed it though." "Kenny, you need to tell him. If I know Shan, and I'd like to think that I do, he'll be thrilled." "Okay. Can you get him over here?" "Sure. Give me a minute." She scanned the room and spotted Shannon in the ring with Jeff. After they were done, Alex approached him. "Ken needs you, Shan." "Anything wrong?" "No. Trust me. She justs needs to tell you something." "Okay." She watched as Kendal talked to Shannon, and the grin that Shannon got. Matt joined her and asked, "what's Reject so happy about?" "You'll find out." Shannon got the mic and exclaimed, "my baby's having a baby", before rejoining a smiling Kendal. This got a huge cheer from the room. "You've got another niece or nephew coming." "Wow. Didn't expect it." "Go congratulate them." He nodded and brought her with him.
"Congrats Reject." "Thanks man." Alex hugged Kendal and said, "I told you." "I know." She then hugged Shannon as Matt hugged his little sister. "Congrats Shan." "Thank you. You and Beth will be there for her, right?" "Yeah. Of course we will. You know me." "I know." The rest of the night was spent partying. Around one AM, Alex pulled Matt aside. "I'm heading back up. I miss our boy." "I'll be up soon. Love you." She smiled and kissed him lightly. "I love you too."
Soon enough, Christmas Eve was there. The whole family was there, spending some time together. They were talking about the good things that had happened that past year. Matt said, "I finally got married." Beth joked, "much to the disappointment of thousands of fans everywhere." Alex laughed and asked, "how do you think Jeff's fans will take it when you two get married?" "Some will love it. Others will hate it. I've taken the heat before." "Understood." Shane asked, "what was one of your favorite moments of the year, Alex?" "Umm, finding out that I was pregnant. That, and marrying Matt." "Understood with the first. But are you sure about the second?" They laughed at the playful glare Matt sent Shane. "I'm sure about it."
