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. This chapter is purely a figment of my imagination and I am not intending to disrespect Davey Boy Smith in any way. I love Davey with my whole heart, and I know he was going through some problems. I also know that people that have drug-related problems do things that they don't want to do and they do regret it. Davey Boy is included in this story because he was very close to T.J and Nattie and Diana/Davey/Jim/Ellie and all the kiddies all lived together for a while when the kiddies were younger so I think Nattie would have experienced a closeness with her Uncle Davey as well.
That being said, enjoy and review!
Christmas Day, 25th December, 2001
This was the first Christmas that my family was going to be celebrating without Grammy Helen. I knew that it was going to be emotional for everyone, especially Mom and Auntie Georgia. They were always the closest to Grammy. I got out of my bed and looked outside, allowing a smile to grow across my face at the view of the beautiful white snow outside. I got into a hot shower and when I got out, my home phone was ringing. I rushed to get it and grabbed it just in time.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hey beautiful, Merry Christmas," T.J's soft voice came through. I smiled and walked back into the bedroom.
"Thank you Teej, Merry Christmas to you as well. Are you heading over to your family soon?" I asked.
"I sure am but I just wanted to call you to let you know that you are to make no plans at all for tonight." T.J said.
"Okay, why's that?" I asked.
"I have plans for the two of us. I have to go but be ready by six tonight and I'll pick you up." T.J said.
"All right, I'll see you then Teej, talk to you later," I said. We exchanged goodbyes and then I got dressed up to go over to Mom and Dad's house before we all went over to the Hart House for a family Christmas gathering with the entire Hart family.
When we arrived at the Hart house, I frowned slightly when I saw Uncle Davey Boy. The family had been having problems with him and as far as I knew, he had been told to stay away from the entire family. I heard Mom and Dad talking furiously in the front seat and I got out and walked up to the front porch. I saw Uncle Davey Boy look at me nervously and I smiled. I walked up to him and stood in front of him.
"I'm not happy about what you did but you're still my Uncle and I love you. Merry Christmas Uncle Davey," I said. He pulled me into a hug and I felt him kiss my hair.
"I'm only here to give Harry and Georgia their presents and then I'll leave. I don't want to cause any trouble." Uncle Davey said. I nodded and smiled softly.
"I might go see T.J later as well." Uncle Davey said. I nodded and turned to see Mom and Dad waiting for me.
"Go inside, I'll wait outside with Uncle Davey," I said. Mom rolled her eyes and walked inside. I sat down next to him and he smiled at me.
"Thank you," He murmured. I nodded my head and we sat there in silence until we saw Auntie Diana pull up. I stood up and smiled down at Uncle Davey.
"I'll see you soon all right Uncle Davey?" I said. He nodded and looked up at me gratefully. I walked down to Auntie Diana and smiled as Harry and Georgia ran past me up to their father. I hugged her tightly and she pulled back to smile at me.
"You really are an amazing girl." Auntie Diana said. I shrugged and looked back at Uncle Davey.
"He's still my Uncle. I know what he did was horrible, but he's still my Uncle. I still love him. Just like you do," I said. Auntie Diana nodded her head and we walked up the stairs. I watched Auntie Di walked over to him and he lightly kissed her cheek. Harry came up to me and smiled at me.
"Thanks, for talking to him. I know he was worried about coming over here today because everyone hates him now. I appreciate it you know." He said. I smiled and pulled my younger cousin into a hug. Harry was like the little brother I never had. The front door opened and Mom walked out.
"Georgia, Harry and Natalie, can you give me some time alone with David and Diana?" Mom asked. I nodded and dragged Harry inside, with Georgia following closely behind us.
"Hey Grampy," I smiled. Grampy smiled at me and he stood up. I walked over to him and hugged him tightly.
"You're getting prettier every time I see you." He said. I blushed and pulled away. He pressed his lips against my cheek and looked around.
"Where's T.J?" He asked me.
"He was going to go and visit his family." I said.
"So, is he coming here after?" Grampy asked.
"I don't know; do you want me to call him Grampy?" I asked. Grampy nodded and turned his attention to Harry and Georgia. I walked over to the phone and dialled T.J's family's place.
"Hey hello, Wilson place, Charlotte here," T.J's Mom said.
"Merry Christmas Char," I smiled.
"Oh Natalie honey, Merry Christmas to you and your family as well, make sure you pass that on! The man that claims you as a possession has just arrived. I'm assuming that you want to speak to him?" Charlotte said.
"Well, not really. Can you just let him know that Grampy wants to know if T.J is coming up here to visit after he's left your place?" I said. All of a sudden, the phone was taken off of me and I saw Grampy walking away from me. I smiled at his retreating back and walked over to hug my cousins Lindsay and Brooke. Grampy came back and put the phone down and looked up.
"T.J and his family will all be here soon." He announced. Everyone looked at me and I rolled my eyes.
"Get over it!" I said, slightly blushing.
"Hey Nat, you wanna go down to the Dungeon?" Harry asked, raising his eyebrows evilly. I smiled and nodded my head. Following him down to the Dungeon, I managed to get on the mat before he tackled me to the ground. I struggled and managed to get the upper hand.
"Hey you two, get upstairs now!" I heard Uncle Bruce yell a while later. I looked at Harry, who was trying to catch his breath and we walked upstairs.
"You were wrestling... on Christmas day?" Mom asked. I frowned and tilted my head to the side until I realised that I was still wearing my elbow and knee pads. I smiled and walked upstairs to the bathroom to slide them off, grabbing my bag to get changed into a dress on the way. The door opened as I touched the handle and I came face to face with T.J. He looked me up and down and smiled. I smirked and ran my hand down his arm as I walked into the bathroom. I shut the door and slid my knee pads and elbow pads off. I slid into my new dress and smiled as I smoothed it out. I came to just above my knees and I opened the bathroom door again. T.J was still standing there and his jaw dropped. I moved back over to my bag and pulled out my jacket and beret. I slipped my jacket on and then fixed my hair, positioning the beret in place. I pulled on my knee length, tan boots and sat down in the dining room. Lunch was going to be ready soon and I saw Grampy look at me. I smiled softly and he nodded his head. Dad came into the room and he sat next to me. I turned to face him and poked my tongue out. Dad chuckled and shook his head.
During lunch, T.J had sat across from me. I watched him carefully and when everyone else was caught up in conversation, I moved my foot forward and rubbed it up his leg. He closed his eyes for just a second and then he opened them again. He shot me a warning look and I smiled before eating a mouthful of mashed potato. I heard Grampy cough and I turned to face him.
"Are you taking care of my girl, T.J?" He said protectively. I laughed and T.J smiled.
"Hey, I think that's my job Stu," Dad said grumpily. Grampy cut his eye over to Dad and Dad stopped pouting instantly.
"Well Stu and Jim, I am most definitely taking care of your girl. She's very special to me," T.J said. I blushed and pushed my hair out of my face.
"T.J, you need to go!" Charlotte said. T.J looked at his watch and he stood up.
"Nat, walk me to the door?" He asked. I nodded and followed him over to the door. He turned around to face me and I saw his eyes graze over my body. He moved forward and our lips brushed together. I reacted instantly and pulled him closer to me. I placed one of my hands on the back of his neck and the other one curled around the side of his face. I finally pulled away and smiled at him softly.
"You're so beautiful," He whispered. I blushed and allowed him to kiss me again. When he pulled away, I could see the reluctance in his eyes. He didn't want to let me go.
"I'll see you at six all right?" I murmured. T.J nodded as he walked down to the car and he got into his car. I watched him drive off and I walked back inside. I didn't even try to hide the huge smile across my face.
"Aw, look at that!" Auntie Alison said, pointing at my smile. I raised my eyebrows and she laughed.
"I've seen that smile before," She said.
"Well duh, you've been around me since I was born." I said.
"No, I've seen it on you, your Mom, my Mom, Auntie Georgia and even Auntie Diana. I'm sure they've seen it on me as well, once upon a time." Auntie Alison said.
"What are you talking about Auntie Alison," I laughed.
"That smile that she's talking about Nattie is one I have seen as well. That's a special smile; it's only caused by one thing." Grampy said.
"What's it caused by?" I asked curiously.
"Love," He replied simply.
There were ten minutes to six and I was still thinking about what Grampy said at lunch. He said my smile was caused by love. Was I in love with T.J? It was definitely possible. But would he be in love with me? I wouldn't want to scare him away by moving too fast. I looked down and realised that I hadn't gotten dressed yet. Softly yelping, I heard knocking on my door. I bit my lip and sighed, walking over to it. As I opened it, I saw T.J there and his face dropped slightly.
"Oh, you forgot." He said. I saw a blush slip across his cheeks and I shook my head quickly.
"No, I didn't forget I'm not that stupid. I just lost track of time. All I need to do is get dressed. I'll be right back. I promise, I didn't forget." I said. T.J nodded and I gently slid my hand in his, pulling him inside. I walked into my bedroom and slid into my black tights. I pulled my dress, coming to mid-thigh, on and grabbed my leather jacket. I slipped it on and walked out into the living room. T.J smiled brightly when he saw me and I smiled back at him.
"You ready?" He asked. I slid my shoes on and nodded my head. We locked my place up and walked down the street.
"T.J, where are we going?" I asked, gripping onto his arm tightly.
"We're almost there," He said, smiling softly. All of a sudden, we were in a clearing and I saw a horse-drawn sleigh sitting there. I looked at T.J and he smiled.
"This is beautiful Teej," I murmured. We walked over to it and I greeted the driver (well, he was controlling the horses) with a small smile. T.J helped me up into the sleigh and I sat down. T.J sat down next to me and nodded his head to the driver. I allowed my body to curl against T.J's and I smiled as he wrapped a blanket around our shoulders.
"I didn't know what to get you so I figured that this would be good." I heard him say. I felt his lips on top of my head and I sighed contentedly.
"This is the most perfect present you could have given me Teej. You know I'm not one for material objects." I said. I heard T.J chuckle and I looked out over the views of the night. It was absolutely amazing. I had seen Calgary at night before hand but never like this. I felt T.J's arms wrap tighter around me. I knew in that moment that I was definitely in love with this man.
After a while, we were delivered back to T.J's house and he led me inside. The whole living room had been transformed. There was a mattress in the middle with a pile of blankets and I spotted a pile of DVD's next to the TV. I smiled brightly and turned to face him with a small smile on my face.
"I heard you telling Harry what you loved most about Christmas and that's snuggling up and watching movies so I decided to give you everything you love." T.J said. I saw him starting to blush and I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Who knew you could be so romantic?" I asked, smirking slightly.
"Well, I'm only doing it because I love you Natalie," He said. I saw his eyes widen as he realised what he said and he looked at me worriedly. I pulled away and walked over to the mattress.
"Come on, start the first movie!" I said to him. He stared at me and I laughed as he walked over and turned the first movie on. Then, to my surprise, he went and sat on the sofa.
"Hey, get down here now Mr Wilson!" I said. He frowned and I crawled my way over to him. I had a blanket in my arms and I wrapped it around him. I grabbed either end of the blanket and pulled him down onto the mattress.
"I love you too," I said, before our lips connected in a soft kiss. I pulled away quickly and smiled as I pulled out a small present bag.
"Merry Christmas," I said. T.J frowned and looked at the small bag.
"I didn't want you to get me a present." T.J said.
"So, you were allowed to buy me one, but I wasn't allowed to buy you one?" I asked. T.J nodded his head and I shook my head.
"No way, that's unfair!" I said. T.J smiled and pulled me into his lap. As I straightened myself up, I grabbed his hand and placed the handles of the bag in it. T.J grinned and I leant down to press my lips against the tip of his nose.
As T.J opened the present bag, his phone started ringing and I got up to answer it. I decided to walk into his bedroom and I shut the door behind me.
"Hello, Natalie speaking," I said.
"Oh, hey Nat," Uncle Davey said. His English accent was unmistakeable and easily recognisable.
"Hey, why are you calling my boyfriend?" I asked.
"Wow, your boyfriend? Never heard you actually say that before," He teased. I rolled my eyes and I smiled softly.
"That's because you're never around anymore Uncle Davey." I said. I heard him sigh and he knew I was right. He knew that I was right.
"You know I would love to but I've screwed up Natalie," He said.
"Yeah, I know you have Uncle Davey. I just wish you didn't screw up at all. This has affected Harry and Georgia so much. You're so lucky that you raised such wonderful human beings. Well, Auntie Diana did. But you have hurt them so much more than you will ever realise Uncle Davey. They love you so much and you hurt them, you hurt their Mom and you hurt their family." I whispered.
"I know all right? I know but I can't change this Natalie. I can't change my mistakes. I can't no matter how much I want to. Can you just... put T.J on the phone for me?" He said. I sniffed and walked over to the door.
"Teej," I said, hearing my voice break.
"Nattie, I'm sorry, I love you, you know." Uncle Davey said. T.J came into my line of sight and he frowned.
"Nat, I mean that. I know I hurt you too. I watched you grow up alongside my kids. I love you, Jenny and Muffy just as much as I love Harry and George." Uncle Davey said. I started crying and I passed the phone to T.J. I walked into his bedroom and shut the door on T.J.
After I got changed into some of T.J's clothes, I opened the door and heard him saying his final goodbyes to my Uncle. As I walked into the room, T.J tackled me onto the mattress.
"Damn," I managed to get out. He laughed and I squirmed underneath him.
"Hey, don't even try to run away from me again!" T.J said. I pouted and noticed that the necklace I had bought him was now around his neck. As he rested on his elbows, I lifted up and allowed my fingers to toy with the silver cross that had one diamond on each end and a slightly larger one in the middle. I knew he had always been a religious person and I wanted to respect that.
"I just wanted to get something that I knew you would love." I said, finally allowing my eyes to meet his. He chuckled and finally rolled off of me. He pulled me against him and I felt his lips press against my neck. I didn't know that my words had meant that much to him.
"I love you Nat, just by being here with me, it's the greatest Christmas present I've ever received." T.J said. I smiled and placed my hands over his.
This definitely had to be the best Christmas in my life. Not only did I spend it with my family, I also spent it with the man I loved, the man who had been there with me for most of my life.
T.J Wilson, the love of my life. Surprisingly, he loved me back just as much. At this moment, life couldn't possibly get any better.
