Chapter Nine – The Children of Slaughter
Maria held Ashley's hand as she prepared to go through with what she had planned and she had company on her way to the abortion clinic, most surprisingly from one of Melina's closest friends. Maria had come with Ashley and the X Offenders to show her "support" and Team 3D told Ashley they'd be there soon.
The abortion clinic was in Cameron, NC, Maria had assured Ashley that it was the best abortion clinic around.
"Um just one thing before you do this Ashley," Maria said stopping Ashley and the X Offenders from going into the building that wasn't far from where the Hardys lived. Maria reached into her purse and pulled out a bag of Skittles and Ashley scrunched her nose up, the very sight of the colorful candy reminded her of Jeff.
"Urgh Maria get those Skittles away from me!" Ashley said covering her face.
"You have to eat something sweet before you have the abortion," Maria said and Ashley exchanged doubtful glances with the X Offenders.
"I never heard of that," Raven said.
"Yeah me neither," Daphne added.
"Trust me I know what I'm talking about, if you don't eat this candy now you'll regret it later," Maria said and Ashley gave in.
"Alright I'll eat some candy but not those ones, I think I've got some mentos in my purse," Ashley said.
"Oh don't be such a baby," Maria said and she popped the Skittle into Ashley's mouth before the former WWE Diva could stop her. Ashley reluctantly swallowed the Skittle, hating the sugary taste as it went down her throat. Eating it reminded her so much of Jeff; the sweetness, the brightness and the all round excitement was enough to make her hurl. She almost did throw up but after awhile she felt better, in fact she started smiling.
"See I told you it wouldn't be so bad," Maria said and the X Offenders looked Ashley up and down. She seemed different all of a sudden.
"Maria you've been great but I think we'll take it from here," Raven said to John Cena's "girlfriend."
Daphne and Dr. Stevie's attention was diverted by Ashley, she was suddenly radiant and full of life, something had brought her happiness and she wasn't wallowing in misery like they were anymore.
"I really think I should stick by her Raven, after all she doesn't really know you and I've known Ashley for awhile," Maria said.
"That being said Ashley will be working with me and the other X Offenders in TNA, you're relationship is in the past, just like Jeff's baby soon will be. Now thank you for coming with us this far but I think we got it from here, right guys?" Raven said to the X Offenders who were still baffled by Ashley's sudden change in demeanor.
"Right," Dr. Stevie and Daphne said eventually and they helped Ashley up the steps of the building while Maria waited patiently for Raven's plan to go up in smoke.
"That man gives me the creeps," Maria said to herself as Raven opened the door and the X Offenders pressed Ashley to go forward. Maria smiled as Ashley refused to move another step.
"I'm not going in," she said to Raven.
"Its okay Ashley I know you're scared but trust me aborting Jeff Hardy's baby is the best decision you ever made," Raven said.
"I'm not scared and I'm not going in," Ashley said.
"Yes you are!" Raven yelled furiously and Maria jumped in fright.
"She's hysterical," Dr. Stevie said.
"I think it was that candy it did something to her," Daphne said.
"No she's nervous that's all, I'm gonna go upstairs and get the doctor he'll give her a sedative to calm her down," Raven said and he disappeared into the abortion clinic leaving Ashley with his associates.
"I have a bad feeling about this," Daphne said.
"Yeah me too, let's go in. Maria stay here with Ashley," Dr. Stevie said and Maria nodded as they disappeared inside behind Raven.
"Boy are they in for a surprise," Maria said taking Ashley by the hand and taking her to Matt Hardy's house just a mile away while the next phase of Jeff Hardy's plan to save his unborn child went into action.
Upstairs in the abortion clinic there was a reception desk and behind it was a very pretty young lady with blond streaks and pink lip balm.
"Can I help you sir?" she said lowering her glasses giving Daphne a better look at her.
"Oh my God!" Daphne screamed and Raven and Dr. Stevie turned to her like she was crazy.
"Daphne shut up or we're gonna get thrown out of here," Dr. Stevie said.
"Stevie don't you recognize her?" Daphne said.
"Recognize who?" Dr. Stevie asked confused.
"Velvet Sky!" Daphne cried.
"Will you guys be quiet I'm trying to talk to the receptionist," Raven hissed angrily.
"Boss that ain't no receptionist!" Dr. Stevie said.
"I'm sorry sir but unless your friends are here to have an abortion they're gonna have to leave the premises," Velvet Sky said.
"Guys go wait outside with Maria, I don't even know why you followed me up here you're nuthin but a pain in the ass," Raven said.
"But boss!" Daphne and Dr. Stevie pleaded.
"GO!!" Raven barked and the X Offenders reluctantly left the building.
"Sorry about that ma'am," Raven said to the "receptionist".
"Oh that's alright sir you wouldn't believe the loons that come through those doors asking for an abortion," Velvet Sky said.
"Actually the lady who will be having the procedure today is a little nervous, in fact she's outside and I was hoping you could give her a little sedative to relax her nerves a little bit," Raven said not detecting that the woman behind the reception desk was a former Knockout.
"Let me see, what's the woman's name?" Velvet asked looking at her fake list of patients.
"Ashley Massaro," Raven said.
"Ah yes here she is, I'll inform the doctor that his patient's having second thoughts," Velvet Sky said and she called the "doctor" from her disconnected telephone, "Dr. Ray your next appointment is here,"
"Dr. Ray?" Raven said thinking the name sounded a little strange.
"Dr. Ray will be out to see you right now Raven," Velvet Sky said and Raven frowned in confusion.
"You're a wrestling fan?" he asked and Velvet Sky removed her fake glasses and finally Raven recognized her.
"I sure am, I absolutely love ECW especially the matches where those two brothers would team up to put their opponents through a table," Velvet Sky said and Raven blanched as Brother Ray and Devon burst out of the door by the stairs wearing doctor coats.
"Here's our patient Devon, whad'ya say we perform a little surgery, ECW style?" Brother Ray said to Devon while Velvet Sky cheered them on.
"ECW with a twist of TNA," Velvet Sky said getting out of the way as Team 3D hoisted an unsuspecting Raven up on their shoulders and slammed him through the receptionist table. As the leader of the X Offenders writhed in pain Brother Ray handed her some barb wire from his coat pocket and she helped them wrap Raven with it so he couldn't get off the broken half of the table without getting seriously hurt.
"We did it!" Velvet Sky cheered and Team 3D gave her a round of applause.
"Now let's go to the Hardys for the final phase of Jeff's plan," Brother Ray said and the three TNA wrestlers headed for the door of the fake abortion clinic.
"Wait aren't we forgetting something, what about Daphne and Dr. Stevie?" Velvet Sky asked and Team 3D showed her the extra barb wire they had just for the X Offenders and they pointed to the table by the exit.
"Velvet, get the table!" Brother Devon said which Velvet was more than happy to do.
As Team 3D and Velvet Sky came out of the building with barb wire and wood, Daphne and Dr. Stevie knew that their leader wouldn't be coming down anytime soon.
"You tricked us!" Daphne hissed at Team 3D and Velvet.
"What did you do to Raven?!" Dr. Stevie screamed.
"The same thing we're gonna do to you," Brother Ray said as Velvet set up the table, Daphne and Dr. Stevie tried to run but they didn't get far. Velvet grabbed Daphne, hoisted her up on her shoulders while Team 3D got Dr. Stevie by the ponytail and together they slammed the X Offenders through the table knocking them out cold. They hugged each other proud of a job well done and then ran to the Hardys to finish the job.
The Hardys:
Matt Hardy welcomed Team 3D and Velvet into his home where Jeff Hardy was upstairs with the ARK Angels and Ashley Massaro. Maria was also there with Kennedy, Christian and Lashley and they were all praying. Team 3D and Velvet dropped to their knees and Matt closed Jeff's bedroom door and joined them on the floor. They prayed collectively while the ARK Angels used the Skittle in Ashley's body to release God's authority over her unborn child. The Skittles Maria had in her purse had been blessed so that once Massaro had it in her system there was no way she was gonna go through with the abortion. The sugary taste was just a sample of how sweet Ashley would feel from now on, in fact she would be full of the Holy Spirit for another 8 months until the baby was born. Jeff's baby had been saved and hopefully afterwards Ashley would be too but that was a choice she would be free to make for herself.
"AMEN!" the ARK Angels said together and everyone applauded as Ashley and Jeff hugged in tears in the middle of Hardy's bedroom.
"I'm so glad I'm gonna be a mommy," Ashley said excitedly and the wrestlers celebrated the birth of Jeff's firstborn with streamers, noise-makers and cake.
"You'll always have me to help you, I won't leave you barefoot and pregnant Ashley," Jeff Hardy said and Ashley hugged him tearfully.
"You're such a good man Jeffrey, Stephanie is a very lucky woman," Ashley said.
"Don't you worry about the X Offenders we'll take care of you from now on Ashley," Team 3D said.
"So will we," Kennedy said and Christian and Lashley nodded.
"You're gonna love working at TNA," Christian added.
"With me and Angelina gone Vince is gonna need another beautiful person," Velvet Sky added.
"Thank you all I'm so happy right now!" Ashley said and the TNA wrestlers hugged her while Jeff and Matt Hardy looked on with the ARK Angels.
"Well your plan worked Uncle Jeff," Cameron said.
"Hey it wasn't my plan it was God's plan I just carried it out," Jeff Hardy said.
"I guess we better get back on the road guys, this mission is not over yet," Cameron said.
"Oh can't we have some cake and ice cream first?" Cheyenne said looking at the wrestlers eating cake and ice cream with a cheerful and radiant Ashley Massaro.
"Hey where's Maria I have to thank her again," Jeff Hardy said.
"She's gone and we have to go after her because she's going to sacrifice Marion to the Children of Slaughter," Cameron said and Mr. Kennedy dropped his ice cream and cake as he listened in on the ARK Angels' conversation. As Jeff Hardy and the ARK Angels headed out the window Mr. Kennedy ran down the stairs to the front of Matt's house where Maria was getting into her corvette.
"Hey you can't leave you haven't had any ice cream," Mr. Kennedy joked.
"Leave me alone Ken I'm not in the mood for jokes," Maria snapped, she was suddenly in a bad mood but that didn't stop Mr. Kennedy from slipping in the seat next to her.
"What's the matter you should be ecstatic that Ashley's gonna keep the baby and we're all gonna help her raise it," Mr. Kennedy said.
"Yeah she gets all the help and I get nothing! You think Massaro's the only mom who needs help, I've been asking for help for months but no-one is even trying to help me raise Marion. No, I have to raise him all by myself," Maria said.
"What about John?" Mr. Kennedy said.
"He can't stand Marion, God knows I've tried to convince him to love his son but he couldn't care less about him or me. Seeing you guys all love on Ashley just reminded me how much Marion's missing out on," Maria said.
Kennedy put his arm around Maria and smiled at her sweetly, "But he doesn't have to miss out, you don't have to stay with Cena if you don't want to," he said and Maria wondered if Kennedy was trying to tell her something but he had never expressed any interest in her so she shook off the thought.
"What other choice do I have Ken?" she said bitterly. "Please get out of my car, I've gotta take care of this once and for all,"
"Maria don't do anything you might regret!" Kennedy said panicking that what the Amazing Cameron said was about to come to pass and there was nothing he could do about it.
"Ashley made the right decision by keeping her baby but I made the wrong decision when I decided to keep mine," Maria said and she drove off with Kennedy in the dust.
"Oh no, please God don't let her do it," Kennedy prayed and Jeff Hardy and the ARK Angels flew across the sky leaving a huge rainbow in their midst and the wrestlers looked at it from Matt's house. The rainbow was a sign of the covenant between God and man after the Flood and seeing it made Kennedy feel a lot better and he returned to the party to celebrate life with the woman who thanks to the Holy Spirit was now pro-life.
