Disclaimer!- I DO NOT OWN THE WRESTLERS! A girl could only wish! I do own Noel!
Everyone at the table stopped their eating, stopped their mumbling and small chatter and stared up at Matt with awe. Did he just say he was married? No one moved, there was not a sound, not even the crickets outside were chirping.
"Since when?" Beth was the first to break the silence that covered the table like a bad plague.
"Two months." He breathed.
"Since when were you going out with this girl?" Gil decided to ask, now that he had a daughter in law and all. Matt felt ashamed, yet relieved that he finally told them, Noel would be proud.
"Four years." The eldest admitted closing his eyes. Not only did he lie about being married but even who he dated. He looked around at all the dropped mouths and bit the inside of his cheek. Maybe Noel should have been with him
"I'm happy for you" Jeff was the last to speak, and his voice had certain optimism to it. His brother breathed closing his eyes. The worst part was over, unless someone else had something to say.
"Is she a ring rat?" Beth asked. Everyone at the table glanced over at the only female in the room. Matt didn't know what to say, the fact that he married someone that she knew and knew very well, or the fact that he married someone that the whole family knew for a long time.
"No!" Matt jumped into his defensive mode and looked around, "Known' her for a long time, actually you all know her." He was calmer then before, but the feeling of being on the edge was still circulating inside his system. He felt like a coward, but once he saw his wife in two days he knew everything would be worth it.
"Wait what do ooo mean we alll know 'er?" Jeff peered from his plate with a mouth full of chicken, and potatoes.
Matt run now run! It is not to late to catch the next plain to Michigan! He mentally kicked himself as he stared at his brother. The only thing that would calm his once again frazzled nerves was a beer.
"You all know her that's all I am going to say" The eldest Hardy grabbed his small brown bottle and drinking it like a baby guzzling down its milk. "You'll meet her in two days." His confidence was coming back, making him feel better about everything he said.
"Matthew Moore Hardy you are telling me that I am not only going to know the name of my new daughter-in-law, but we aren't going to meet her until two days?" Gil was staring to get mad, using his overly father voice that both boys were always scared of when they were younger.
"Yes sir." He gulped once more. No matter how old Matt was his father still scared the shit out of him. Daddy's boy or not you respected Gil with everything.
"If we guess will you tell us?" Jeff finally swallowed his food and spoke with a clean mouth, Beth was even picking at her food at this point. She must have figured it out. Matt pondered his brother's request and shrugged his shoulder.
"Sure, but you will never guess." He replied, finally starting to enjoy his meal. It was over, it was done. The ring that now lay on his finger felt that it was now part of his skin. All he needed now was the woman that he made the vows too.
"Kellie!" Jeff shouted pointing a finger at him. Beth was by his side chuckling while rolling her eyes. This is going to be a long, long night Matt thought to himself as he gobbled down his food.
"Jeff that was your ex girlfriend…" he sighed shaking his head. "Nice try though…"
"Yeah but when we were together you tried to sleep with her." He stated pointing his mashed potato fork in his direction.
"And I think we should move on." Beth declared glaring daggers into her boyfriends' eyes.
"Ah! Zahara!"
"No…"
"Amy?"
"Hell no, Jeff besides Amy you are naming your ex girlfriends." Matt rubbed the sides of his head with thumb and middle finger. The game was getting boring, and now to top it all off his head was killing him. I need another beer…now. Was the only thought in his brain. He got up from the table walking over to the fridge for another bottle of the amber liquid he loved too much.
"Are you sure I know her?" he heard the inflection in his brothers voice when he peeked his head out from the fridge door.
"Oh believe me Jeff you know her…don't worry." The eldest laughed, concealing the nerves that shuttered in his body. He is going to kill you…his brain muttered.
After awhile the dinner and conversation stopped and Jeff was still going on naming girls. Now it was just annoying and all Matt wanted to do was go home and call her.
"Matt…" Gil grabbed his son's attention. "Can I talk to you for a moment?"
The eldest poised his hand on the door knob ready to move out, but how could he say no to his father. For one Gil might get offended and two he could never say no to a father son moment. Gilbert Hardy motioned to the den stealing one last glance at the happy couple of Beth and Jeff.
"Matthew, you know the responsibility to this is right?" Gil groaned as he sat in his old recliner chair.
"Yes sir, I do."
"This is no joke Matt, you are now joined together, what is going to happen when you are away?" he asked. Gil cared for his sons way to much to see them get hurt. "She is truly not married to you because of the money?"
"Pops stop, you known the girl ever since she was a little kid, there is no way." Matt scoffed leaning his arm on the door way. Gil inhaled intensely, rubbing the sides of his head.
"It's her isn't it?" he asked. The Hardy boy stood in place, why did he have to open his big mouth? Gil stared his son down making make squirm underneath his watchful gaze. "Noel…it has to be, she is the only girl you two were with when you were younger. You guys were raised together." Gil had it right. Matt bit the inside of his cheek and nodded slowly. "Do her brothers know?"
"Yeah…it is, and no…no one knows except for her friend." He couldn't hold back the smile from thinking about her.
"How can you do that to your brother, you knew how they felt for each other." His father took a deep breath. "You better hope he doesn't hurt someone when he finds out that his ex fiancé is his sister-in-law."
Matt's jaw clenched tight letting the words seep through him like cloth put in water. Noel's heart was broken by his brother and he was just there to pick up the pieces. It was the same way when Amy broke him into shatters. He missed her long, curly black hair sprayed in a fan like pattern across his chest, right now just her voice would be great to hear.
"I'm not going to say a word to your brother. I'm going to let you and Mrs. Hardy do all the explaining." Gil sighed and hugged his son. "I know you Matt, and if this is the right thing to you…then you know it will be ok with me."
"Yo, Matt come on I wanna get back so we can go through the yearbook!" Jeff laughed, with the after giggles of Beth right behind him. His stomach turned, and all the beer he knew he thought he could keep down was slowly rising.
"You better tell him, or seeing her will." Gill warned, moving to hug both his sons and Beth.
Beth was the one to drive home, and everything everyone knew was slowly sinking in. Matt took a deep breath when he leaned his head on he window, his eyes glanced down at the gold band on his finger. In his mind he didn't know if he should have been happy or sad now that everyone knew his little secret. Was he being selfish if he said he was a bit disappointed that he didn't have to hide who she was anymore?
"Ok I got it! Maria!" Jeff sluggishly looked behind him to the back seat
"Jeff no…you will meet her on Thursday." He laughed hitting his head on the cool glass window. They only had a week home for the holidays so as soon as she came to move in, he was leaving. It would have been much easier if she came with him, but Noel was stubborn and she made it clear that if she was going to be his wife she was not going to go on tour with him.
The car stopped when all three passengers lazily walked to the door. Beth being cradled in Jeff's arms, and Matt sighing and wishing for his wife. The youngest Hardy smiled at Matt with eyes of happiness then looked down at his fiancé.
"We have some talking to do. Let me put her to sleep and I will be down." Jeff breathed, taking the small Beth up the stairs.
Matt exhaled deeply; he was not getting away that easily. Soon after Matt grabbed a beer from the fridge and rolled his eyes looking at his brother who stood before him with his arms crossed across his chest. He was determined, or pissed, ether one it was never a good thing when Jeff gave you the smoldering gaze to go along with the thin line pout.
"Am I going to have to keep guessing?" he laughed ruffling his brother's hair. "I'm kinda upset that I wasn't the best man at this wedding."
"It was a small wedding…no one was there." Matt breathed taking a sip.
"When did you even do this without anyone knowing?" Jeff sounded amazed that he pulled something off without anyone knowing what was going on.
"Well do you remember when I asked for time off because I had something to do at home? Well I went to Michigan we both got on a plane to Florida and we got married on the beach." Matt laughed to himself. Two months ago he was a free man and now here he was married…and dare he say it happy.
"I still can't believe you pulled it off." He muttered, taking the beer from his brother's grasps. "Ok now I want the year book!" he trumped to the bookshelf in the living room, grabbing the large book that contained his and Matt's past. His fingers quickly skimmed throughout the book naming girls from left to right, and Matt denying every one of them.
"Hey bro I'll be back just want to call up Vince to confirm our location." He lied to his brother about being married, one more couldn't hurt that much. Jeff blew him off with the wave of his hand too into the yearbook to even know what was going on. The eldest boy hurried upstairs and quickly dialed his phone.
"Hello?" there it was her voice…and only hers.
