Chapter 7: Gotta Do This Again

He's my brother. The things that I have put him through are hellacious and he still finds the room in his heart to forgive me. I don't understand that. I certainly don't deserve it. He was always such a good baby brother and I was always such a rotten older brother.

They say that we can go now. The two of us are walking out the doors as I turn to Jeff. "Hey little man," I smile sweetly, "what are you doing for Christmas?"

He shrugs, "Don't know."

"Why don't you and I spend Christmas together as a family?" I ask casually.

His bright eyes light up with a childish air, "Really?"

I nod and he hugs me, "I can't breath!" I laugh.

Jeff lets go of me and he says, "Merry Christmas Matty."

"Merry Christmas Jeffy."

I'm glad he called. I've been following what happens with his persona on Friday Night Smackdown and I can't judge him. I know exactly how he feels because I feel the same way. He fights to keep his job and I'm fighting to regain a job. The WWE doesn't want me and I'm sure TNA won't take me but when I heard Brian's voice, all of the bad things went away.

I invited him to spend the holidays with me. I haven't talked to any of my friends from those days so seeing Brian is going to be good for me. The past my be the past but there is no reason that I can't see them after words. Bet they will all see old Paul London soon enough.

Lucky. John Morrison has always been the lucky one. Who was the first one who held the ECW championship? John. Who was the one who always gets the hoards of screaming fans and the fan mail? John. That made me angry to start with. I'm just upset that now I have to sit back and watch as he gets Brie Bella. And what do I get? A big load of nothing!

Nikki and Primo are the perfect couple. Who am I to break them apart? I'll tell you who I am, I'm the chick magnet! So what if I don't have a girl this Christmas? It's not the end of the world! I'll just have to take one lucky fan home with me. Shouldn't be to hard…right?

I can tell that Hunter is happy to be out of there but there is no reason for him to drive like a bat out of hell. Okay, that's a lie. He loves his family more than anyone could ever know. Anyone except me that is. I love my wife and kids as much as Hunter loves his wife and daughter.

"Christmas plans same as usual?" I ask as we get to the airport. For the last few Christmas' Hunter and Stephanie have come to the home that I share with my wife and kids in San Antonio.

"You, Becca, Cameron, and Cheyenne are coming over to Steph and I's home this year. We don't want to take Rory on a plane just yet." Hunter gruffly replies.

I smile, "Becs and the kids already up there?"

Hunter nods and we enter the airport, "Yup. Thanks for everything bud. I don't think that I have ever told you that. Without you, I never would have met Steph."

"I accept all responsibility." I smile, "Oh and next time Hunter, drive a bit slower. You don't' want to go to prison on Christmas."

I hope my wish comes true. I got the bigger part of the wishbone so my wish is suppose to come true. I don't ask for a lot, being as I am the son of the million dollar man. I was pretty much handed everything that I have in my life. All I have asked for recently is for Nolee to love me like she loves Randy. Is that to much to ask for?

"What was yeh wish?" she asks me, her voice full of that attractive southern drawl that I love so much.

I tsk her, "Can't tell you. It won't come true if I tell you."

"I wished that yeh would hold me in your arms." She huskily tells me. For a moment by breath catches in my chest and I have to remind myself to breathe.

"You know Randy would kill me if he knew this…" I reply slowly, "But I love you.

For a moment we exchange a careful glance and in that moment I know that all of my waiting is at an end.
