Chapter 7
"Oh you are such an ass!" Trish screamed at Chris as he stuck his hand out to help her up off the ice.
"You were trying to block my shot" he smiled impishly.
"That's what goalies do you idiot!" Trish screamed getting up on her own.
"Don't be mad!" Chris laughed as Trish skated off the ice rubbing her butt.
"You were a little rough" Jay laughed.
"I'm competitive. She knows that" Chris said skating off to apologize.
"I guess it's just us" Adam said skating over to Jay with Amy. "Chris plays way too hard" Adam scoffed.
"Shane and Stacy should be here in awhile. I invited Matt and Katie but they had other plans tonight" Jay said picking up his hockey stick as Shane and Stacy came in.
"Good. I don't think I could take the glares of both Chris, Matt, and Katie" Adam huffed.
"I don't think they really care anymore" Shane said patting Jay on the back.
"I'm ready to play" Stacy chirped skating over to them.
"Damn, I was expecting to see you in a cheerleader outfit or something" Amy taunted.
"Oh really? Well, I thought I'd see you dressed as a stripper" Stacy shot back.
"Whoa! Back to your corners" Jay said trying to refrain from laughing.
"By the way, where is this mystery girl you've been dating?" Adam asked.
"Yea, I thought she was going to be here" Chris said pulling Trish back out onto the ice.
"She'll be here" Jay promised.
"She's a figment of his imagination" Amy whispered.
"I heard that!" Jay shouted.
"Sorry I'm late Jay but I'm here now" shouted Candice Michelle from across the ice.
"No fuckin way!" Adam guffawed.
"You non-believers can kiss my ass" Jay snorted before walking across the ice to greet Candice Michelle with a kiss. "Let's play hockey!" he shouted over to them as they stood staring at them in awe.
"Is that you?" Matt shouted walking out of the kitchen with an apron tied around his waist.
"Yea, it's me" Katie responded as she hugged Lucas.
"I fixed dinner for you" Matt smiled giving her a light peck on the cheek. He led her to the table and grabbed a spoon. He put some shrimp fried rice on it and spooned some into her mouth. She nodded her approval.
"You bought this!" she said full of amusement.
"Like I told Nash, it's the thought that counts"
"Who in the hell is Nash?" Katie said putting Lucas in Matt's arms as she went to wash her hands in the kitchen.
"A guy I met in the gym who came over today" he answered.
"Oh" she replied sitting at the table as he pulled a chair up next to her.
"I need to say something" he hesitated.
"You're not going to say that you're bisexual are you?" she teased.
"What?"
"With that Nash guy" she said starting to eat.
"Oh, you funny. I'm bi alright. I buy flowers" he motioned towards flowers on the table. "I buy chocolate" he said pulling out a big box of chocolate candy from under the table. "I even buy you pretty things when you're being bitchy towards me for two weeks. I decided to stick with the original storyline with us" he told her as she smiled uncontrollably.
"Thank you. Umm, I'm sorry for not speaking to you much. I was tiffed" she shrugged.
"You and Lucas started sleeping in your old room. I felt really snubbed" he said in a sad tone.
"Aww, I'm sorry. We didn't mean it, did we Lucas?" she said in a baby voice to Lucas who barked innocently.
"You two teamed up on me. Imagine what it would be like when we have kids" he laughed but realized Katie was frozen. She looked shocked and then he realized what he'd said. "You know what I meant, theoretically speaking…"
"Yea" she said shyly. "What's up with the apron?" she asked changing the subject. It had "Touch my grill and die" written on it. "Whatever happened to kiss the cook?" she asked.
"Who says you can't still kiss the cook and then let me kiss you in the places I've missed you" he flirted taking off the apron as her cellphone started to ring. "You going to answer that?"
"No, it's been hang-ups all day" she said flipping her phone open and taking a picture of Matt.
"Hey!" he shouted trying to grab it. Just as he took it she grabbed gently between his legs causing him to freeze.
"I missed this" she smiled kissing the front of his jeans where there was an obvious bulge. He relaxed as she kissed and licked his dick through his jeans.
"Oh yea" he moaned a few minutes later as she unzipped his pants and slid his dick into her warm wet mouth.
"You like that baby?" she mumbled as she heard a click. She looked up and Matt was taking a picture of her with her phone. "Matt!" she screamed trying to take it as it started to ring again.
"All of these interruptions and I just might start to think you're cheating on me" he taunted eyeing the number on her phone as it continued to ring.
"Never" she shook her head. "It's just you" she promised as he answered the phone and got nothing but silence.
"Call my wife again and I'll have this call traced" Matt shouted hanging up. "I'm turning it off," he said.
"Wait, just a few more pictures of you kissing me where you miss me" she said as he dropped to his knees in front of her.
"You so nasty" he said innocently.
"We can finish dinner" she said turning back to the table.
"Don't you dare! Come here and kiss the cook" he demanded pulling her to him as she wrapped her legs around his waist.
"I'm sorry"
"Me too baby" he said turning to a nosy Lucas. "Lucas, close your eyes or go to your room" he teased as Lucas placed his paw over his head.
"Aww" Katie laughed.
"Where the hell does he get those ways from?" Matt asked in shock.
"From his Daddy" Katie chuckled.
"Logan… I…really care about you. Make no mistake that I'm proud to call you my wife"
"You just like the sex" she replied kissing him.
He pulled away and looked into her eyes. "True but its so much more than just sex between us and you know it" he said caressing her face.
"You're right" she agreed as the phone rang again.
"That's it, another phone number for you" he said turning the phone off. "Now, back to where we were" he whispered as he claimed her lips in a long hot kiss.
Matt rushed through the double doors of the arena and rushed to his dressing room. His flight was postponed but he made it an hour before Raw. It was the middle of January and he'd been feuding with John Cena for a few weeks. Tonight was the night he'd knock HBK out of the slot to face John Cena, Kurt Angle and Adam, or rather Edge for the Heavyweight title at Wrestlemania in a steel cage match. It had been pretty lonely in the Hardy household with Katie being away touring and promoting her CD. Matt spent his days at home surfing the internet or hanging out with his buddies. He'd even begun to speak to Amy more. She'd popped up on his doorstep a few times over the past few weeks complaining about how insensitive Adam had become. He figured she was missing him and Lucas. He'd introduced her to Nash and they seemed to have a lot in common. Logan had yet to meet Nash, but he looked forward to meeting her. Matt threw his bag on the chair and pulled his wrestling boots out of his bag.
"Hey man, how's it going?" John Cena asked sitting his belt on the bench next to Matt as he put his boots on.
"Fine" Matt replied lacing up his boots.
"You ready to be champ?"
"Oh yea! More than ready. Amy was asking me that the other day and I was telling her…"
"Whoa! You were with her the other day?" Cena shrieked.
"We're still friends" Matt explained.
"Katie doesn't mind you hanging with Amy while she's away?"
"She wouldn't mind. Between doing a couple of SmackDown shows and promoting her CD she doesn't have time for me lately" Matt sighed.
"She'll be back in a few days. You think her and Amy can wrestle a match without killing one another?"
"I hope so" Matt chuckled.
"Fighting over you when they could have me" Cena taunted.
"You make me laugh Cena" Matt laughed heartily. "I may fly out to New York to meet up with Logan tomorrow. She has a match against Melina. Jay will keep an eye on her to make sure that sick stalker bastard doesn't get a set of balls again and try to get near her. He left a doll wearing a wedding dress and butterfly necklace on her car last week" Matt said standing and grabbing an elbow pad out of his bag.
"Okay, that bastard is crazy. It's a good idea to have someone with her at all times. You stay away from Amy though. She's trouble" Cena said walking out into the hallway with him.
"Matt!" Amy called out jogging over to Matt.
"See you later" Cena nodded heading to the greenroom.
"Hey Amy"
"Hi, I was wondering if you wanted to get a bite to eat later. Adam is hanging out with a few of the guys and…"
"You know what, that sounds good and all but I'm flying out to be with Logan tonight" Matt told her.
"Oh" Amy nodded. "Matt?"
"Yea?"
"Do you think you can love me again? Like you used to? I mean after your divorce from Katie" Amy asked.
"Divorce?"
"I heard that your marriage was just for a year from a very reliable source. It'll be ending in May, right?" she smiled innocently.
"Don't believe everything you hear. I gotta go" Matt said pushing past her. As he made his way around the corner he realized that in May he and Logan were no longer obligated to one another. Even though they were happy together, they'd never actually discussed whether or not to stay married. He wanted to stay married and he planned on telling her so tomorrow.
Katie sat in the coffee shop with thick black gloves on drinking a caramel macchiato. The heat from the cup was starting to unfreeze her finger tips. The smell and taste of her coffee was divine. She scanned around the place and caught a guy wearing a scarf over his mouth and nose staring at her intently. She couldn't make out his face. Under any other circumstances she'd smile and wave because he may have recognized her from TV. Ever since the crazy things happening with her being stalked she was nervous all the time. Scared to mingle with her fans not knowing if they were crazy. She missed being able to do things alone without looking over her shoulder. She grabbed her bag and headed back to the hotel. Her thick black boots crunched through the snow laden street. Her cheeks were red from the heavy gusts of cold winds. She wrapped her scarf over her face pulling it just below her eyes and pulled her hat down over her ears. As she stood waiting for the crosswalk light to change she could have sworn she was caressed along her back. She turned but there were too many people piled together waiting to cross the street. As she got to her hotel she could have sworn that the guy from the coffee shop was standing across the street watching her.
"You okay?" Katie shouted through the hotel bathroom door the next afternoon. She and Matt had lunch and a few hours later he was vomiting severely. Katie was starting to get scared as he lay slumped against the hotel toilet looking pale. "I'm calling an ambulance"
"No! I'm okay. I'm going to bed. I can't go to SmackDown with you tonight" he said through ragged breaths as he stumbled back into the room and lay across the bed.
"Then neither will I" Katie told him as she crawled across the bed and cradled his head in her lap.
"You go on and wrestle. I'll be sleeping for the next few hours anyway" he mumbled as she wiped beads of sweat from his forehead. "Call Jay and tell him to come and get you" he whispered. "I'm sick Logan, really sick"
"I know baby and that's why I want to stay and take care of you. We both had the same thing to eat and I feel fine. Maybe your food was spoiled or something" she said while dialing to inform Jay about Matt being sick. Matt scooted up next to her and lay across her chest as she stroked his hair softly. "I wish I could take some of your pain away. I hate seeing you in so much pain. Jay is bringing you some Pepto-Bismol. Are you sure you'll be okay alone?"
"Baby go have your match" he grumbled.
"I'm third on the card so I'll leave right after my match tonight. I'm getting you to a doctor first thing in the morning if you're not feeling better"
"I'll gladly go if I'm still feeling like this" he said through an exhausted sigh as she kissed him on the forehead. She held him for half an hour until he fell asleep.
"Feel better my sweet baby" she said as Jay knocked at the door to drive her to the arena.
He sat in the arena parking garage as Jay Reso, AKA Christian grabbed Katie's bag and ushered her into the arena. He'd placed his hand on the small of her back a little too lovingly. Katie laughed and said something to him that caused him to throw his arm around her shoulder and pull her closer to him. They looked like a loving couple as he snapped pictures of them. Randy Orton opened the arena door for them as he headed out talking with Rey Mysterio and Kane. She was dressed in baggy blue jeans and a big baggy gray sweatshirt that had "Dirty South" across the front. She looked naturally beautiful with no makeup on. He liked her that way. She didn't cause as many men to stare at her with baggy clothes on. He got out of his car and pulled his baseball cap down further onto his head in case there were cameras in the vicinity. He walked over to Jay's rental car and placed a bouquet of orchids and a beautifully wrapped box on the hood. Inside of the box was an engagement ring and expensive white lingerie. He smiled widely at the thought of he and Katie Logan exchanging wedding vows. The thought gave him an erection that he knew only Katie Logan could deflate.
"If your not feeling well you shouldn't wrestle" Jay fussed as a sharp pain stabbed through Katie's abdomen and she doubled over in pain.
"I can do a seven minute match. I'll do my reverse DDT and then my 450 splash and get the pin on Melina. I told her I wasn't feeling well so we'll try to get it over with as soon as possible so I can get back to Matt" she replied leaning against the wall in the hallway.
It had only been an hour before that he'd picked her up and she was fine. As they got to the arena she started to have stomach pangs. Jay stood watching her with concern as Dave Batista walked by and a look of concern masked his face.
"Katie, you alright?" Dave asked.
"Food poisoning. Matt's sicker than I am" she responded.
"Oh, you take something?" Dave asked.
"She's been drinking antacids for the past half hour but they won't stay down" Jay answered. "I'm calling Matt. You both need to see a doctor"
"No! I don't want him to worry" she said straightening up.
"I think he needs to know" Dave argued.
"My match is second. So I'll be ready with your bags when your match is over" Jay said putting his foot down.
Katie knew he wasn't taking no for an answer and gave in. "Fine, see you in an hour"
"Oh, Milena off the ropes with a clothesline to Katie. Milena has been aggressive tonight" Michael Cole commented.
"Yea, she definitely has had the upper hand during this match" Tazz agreed as Katie countered a DDT and drove Mileena face first into the mat. Katie's mouth was dry and she was sweating profusely. She signaled to Milena that she was about to end the match. She whipped her into the ropes and hit her with a quick sidewalk slam and climbed the ropes and did a perfect 450 splash for the pin. As the referee raised her hand she felt a sharp pain tear through her abdomen. She screamed out and grabbed her stomach as she fell to her knees and crawled into a ball as she writhed around in pain. Milena and the referee stared at her for a few seconds before realizing that she was really in pain. The referee signaled for help as Tazz and Michael Cole looked on in shock.
The crowd died down to a hush as they tried to determine if what they were witnessing was fact or fiction. Milena crawled out of the ring as the EMT's got into the ring and tried to ask Katie what was hurting. She could barely breathe. She told them about thinking it was food poisoning as Jay rushed down to the ring. He maintained his composure as he tried to help Katie calm down for the doctors to check her.
"Katie, I'm here sweetheart. Everything will be okay" Jay promised squeezing her hand.
"Jay, I think I'm bleeding" she whispered.
"What?" he frowned looking down at her stomach. Then he noticed blood underneath her on the mat. He touched her black wrestling shorts and they were soaked with blood. "Oh my God! She's bleeding" Jay pointed out to them as he picked her up and carried her out to the stretcher outside the ring as Shane Helms made his way out to the ring.
"We have internal bleeding. We need to get her to the hospital, stat" said one EMT. They strapped her onto the stretcher as the fans looked on in fear realizing that her collapse wasn't part of the show.
"Matt, I don't want you to panic but Katie is in the hospital" Jay said into his cellphone as he sat in the waiting room.
"Did she break something? I warned her to practice her new move off the top rope a few more times before doing it" Matt asked in a panicked voice as he sat up in the bed.
"I don't think so. She's bleeding internally. She's in surgery man. I think you need to get to the hospital" Jay told him softly before giving him the info on how to get to the hospital. Matt slowly got dressed and headed to the hospital.
Katie opened her eyes to see Jay sitting in a chair next to her hospital bed asleep the next morning. She shifted her weight and winced as pain shot across her stomach. Jay heard her and sat upright.
"You okay?" he asked in a panicked tone.
"I don't know. What happened?" she asked trying to sit up but it was impossible. She gave up and turned on her side.
"Matt will talk to you about that. He's looking for the doctor" Jay said as Matt came into the room looking solemn with a cup of coffee in his hand. "I'll leave you two alone" Jay said leaning over and kissing Katie on the forehead and slapping Matt on the back before leaving.
Matt sat his coffee cup down and sat in the chair next to the bed. He grabbed Katie's hand and smiled. "How are you feeling?"
"Like I've taken a frogsplash from Viscera" she joked causing Matt to chuckle.
"Logan, you gave me a scare. Jay too" he said pushing her hair back. "Trish, Shane and Chris were here last night but you were still out."
"I'm okay. I guess I had food poisoning after all" she shrugged.
"Maybe but…Logan, had you been sick before? Nauseous maybe?"
"No, just last night. Oh and Christmas Day" she told him. "Why?"
"You had a D&C Logan. You had a miscarriage last night" Matt told her as she stared at him in shock.
"I was pregnant? I'm on birth control" Katie guffawed.
"Yes, a little over a month" he responded.
"Oh my God! I wrestled and killed our baby?" she asked sadly before covering her mouth as tears spilled down her cheeks. "I didn't know. I swear!" she repeated over and over again. Matt stood up and sat on the bed next to her and held her as she cried.
"You didn't know. I'm sorry I sent you off to wrestle last night" Matt whispered as they held each other until they fell asleep in one another's arms.
TheSenseiOfMattitude: Oh my God, anyone heard about Katie?
ToniaLuvsKatz: Yea, scary huh?
LethalLitaFan : She looked really bad. I saw the feed
Sage: I've called Matt three times but got no answer
BeenThereDoneThat: I thought it was fake but…
JacobsF'NLadderBroke: It was
BenjaminRules: I don't know dude. She was hurtin. I checked out the feed. Couldn't wait until Friday. Is your screen name Jacobs F'N Ladder Broke or Jacobs Ladder F'N Broke?
JacobsF'NLadderBroke: Both LOL
ToniaLuvsKatz: So we see. Christian ran down, that wasn't a work you guys
JacobsF'NLadderBroke: They're setting up for Milena to be the blame for her injury or miscarriage like Lita and Snitsky
BeenThereDoneThat: That was real blood
JacobsF'NLadderBroke: Please! Her marriage to Hardy is fake! They aren't sleeping together
LethalLitaFan : Keep dreaming
Sage: Hey guys, I just got word that WWE posted that Katie suffered a miscarriage last night
JacobsF'NLadderBroke: Bullshit
ToniaLuvsKatz: Yea, it's on there now
JacobsF'NLadderBroke: She wasn't preggers
LethalLitaFan: Damn, that's fucked up
BenjaminRules: Hey, she wrestled and didn't know it maybe?
Sage: Had to, she would never put the life of her baby on the line.
MzJessicaHardy: You guys think it was Batista's baby since some of you refuse to believe Matt is sleeping with Katie?
LethalLitaFan : Naw, it was definitely Matt's
ToniaLuvsKatz: Damn, I'm sad now
JacobsF'NLadderBroke: Not me. It's all a work! You guys are so gullible.
BenjaminRules: Say guys, Shane Helms posted on his site. Here's what he said, "Katie Logan-Hardy did suffer a miscarriage last night on SmackDown. She had no idea that she and Matt were expecting a baby. Earlier in the night she believed she had food poisoning but she refused to let the fans down and wrestled anyway. As you all could see Jay (Christian) and I was with her and she was in a lot of pain. Katie is a strong woman but she was really hurting last night. I hated to see her like that. Matt was at the hotel with food poisoning. He's with her now and had to tell her about losing the baby. I hate to even imagine the pain they're feeling right now. So please be supportive of them right now.
JacobsF'NLadderBroke: Damn, she was pregnant!
BenjaminRules: Duh?
Go2HelenHunt4It : I've been offline two months and you guys are arguing still. I saw the feed from SD and was shocked. She was bleeding heavily. Later when Batista came out to wrestle he was staring at the corner at her blood like he was worried.
TheSenseiOfMattitude: Yea I saw that, we're going to pray for her speedy recovery
"Mr. Hardy, I've just received the results of your wife, Katelyn's toxicology report. It appears as if she was poisoned. She told me that you were sick earlier. I'd like to run tests on you as well just to be on the safe side" said Dr. Tolin.
"Poisoned?" Matt whispered in disbelief. "How?"
"Something she ingested caused her to miscarry. Whoever did this knew what they were doing. There were so many various poisons mixed together that we're still determining all of them. It's almost as if it was a lethal cocktail. This person knew that it would be hard to trace if you didn't know what you were looking for" Dr. Tolin said eyeing Katie's chart.
"So the move from the top rope didn't cause the miscarriage?" Matt questioned.
"No, even though she shouldn't have been wrestling let alone doing a high flying maneuver like that. The poison caused her to miscarry"
"Oh my God! Logan has had a stalker for the past few months. I swear if he's behind this…" Matt explained.
"Logan?"
"My wife. Katie. Katelyn Logan-Hardy. She gets phone calls, flowers, dolls, and last night a ring and a piece of lingerie from this sick bastard" Matt fumed.
"Have you reported this to the police? Has she ingested anything from a fan?"
"Yes the police know and no we ate at a restaurant"
"Anywhere else?" Dr. Tolin asked writing down the info Matt gave him.
"I made us a health shake yesterday morning" Matt replied.
"What kind of health shake?"
"It's a powdered muscle builder. I usually add juice and stuff to it" Matt explained.
"I need to run a few tests on you" Dr. Tolin said pulling Matt towards his office.
"Wait, I may not have had food poisoning?" Matt asked in shock.
"Possibly not, but I'd like to be sure"
"So you were poisoned?" Shane asked as Matt walked back and forth across his living room carpet a few days later.
"Yes. I don't know how someone got into my house!" Matt growled as police officers headed to the front door with bags of food from his refrigerator.
"I don't understand. You both ate different things at the restaurant" said Jeff as he sat down on the carpet.
"Apparently, Katie and Matt ingested it from the muscle builder shake" Trish added as Chris came downstairs.
"How is she?" asked Shannon.
"Her mom said she was sleeping. I can't believe this happened" Chris said solemnly.
"It happened because I let someone have access to my house" Matt fussed.
"You didn't know bro" Jeff pointed out.
"I'm supposed to be her protector. I knew some psycho was out there but I thought I had it under control by getting cameras on the property. Jay says the bastard left a ring and lingerie on his car for her. This guy is so good it's scary. He placed a box of lingerie on the step last week that I didn't tell Logan about because she was out of town" Matt sighed.
"You can't blame yourself. We all should have taken this guy seriously" Trish said vehemently.
"You should get a bodyguard for Katie" Shane suggested.
"I will. It's time to put this guy in his place" Matt nodded.
"I'm with you" Chris said placing his arm around Trish's waist as Mrs. Logan came downstairs.
"Okay, she's asleep. I'm going to go out and get you guys some fresh groceries. I'm cooking tonight so you all can just relax" Chelsea Logan said grabbing her purse.
"Thanks Chelsea" Matt smiled.
"No problem. I wanted to inform you that this stalker person could well be Katie's ex-boyfriend, Dr. Drew McBain. He's a doctor and he knows everything there is to know about poisons I'm sure" Chelsea informed Matt. "He works in plastic surgery helping disfigured children all over the world"
"Drew? Katie never mentioned him to me" Matt looked on in shock.
"Well, she had a restraining order against him years ago. He's back in Raleigh. Stopped by to see me awhile back to say he was sorry for practically kidnapping Katie…"
"Kidnapped?" Shane cut her off.
"Yes, well he wouldn't let her leave the house for two days until she agreed to stay with him" Chelsea continued. "My husband took care of the family legal problems before he died of a heart attack. We thought it was over with Drew, but I guess not"
"What does this guy look like?" Shannon asked.
"Tall, blond, amazing blue eyes" Chelsea answered.
"That could be anybody" Trish shrugged.
"Yea, you have a picture of him?" asked Shannon.
"No, I'm sure Katie got rid of his pictures along with everything else he ever gave her. She was just eighteen when she met him on campus. He was a senior giving student tours during orientation. She fell hard because of his love for helping the unfortunate but later he became possessive" Chelsea said putting a leash on Lily. She picked Lily up and walked to the front door. "I'd like to deduct Drew from the list of suspects. I'd sleep better if I knew he wasn't capable of poisoning my baby" she said leaving.
"Wow! I never knew about this guy" Matt said leaning against the wall. "He possibly killed my kid" Matt said biting his lip.
"Well, anyone has any idea how he could have gotten into the house?" Shane asked.
"No, but he could have blended in with the yard guys" Jeff shrugged. "It seems that he wouldn't try to poison Katie so the only thing I can see is that he's trying to get rid of you Matt"
"Fuck! The only person I can think of is this guy I met at the gym a few months ago. He's blond. I'm not sure about his eyes but he claimed to be a trainer" Matt said perking up.
"Call him over here and we'll kick his ass" Chris said.
"I'm with Chris" Trish nodded.
"Calm down lil bit" Shane joked patting Trish on the shoulder causing her to smile.
"What are you doing?" Jeff asked as Matt left the room dialing on his cellphone. A few minutes later he returned to the room.
"He'll be over in awhile. I need to know if this guy, Nash is a psycho or not" Matt said heading upstairs.
"Where are you going now?" Shannon asked.
"To wake up Logan. I want to see the look on her face when this guy walks into the room" Matt said heading to his room.
