Morning

Raine and Alek were up way before Amber and Jeremy and answered the door when someone knocked. Raine opened the door, with Alek standing directly behind her. Standing in front of her was Amber's twin brother Jay. "Damn, you really do look a lot like John," Raine said, letting him in.

"Thanks, is Amber up yet? It is noon," Jay replied with a laugh. "I told her that I'd be here." He had the same short black hair, face expression, but he had his mother's eyes.

"I think she and Jeremy passed out around four this morning…" Raine said, and then realized that Jay had no idea about his sister and Jeremy.

Jay looked at her confused. "Jeremy's here?" he asked. "Why?"

Amber, time to wake your ass up. Your brother is here, Raine said, telling Jay to hold on a sec. The three of them could her a scream from upstairs and then a couple crashes before the elevator dinged on the first floor. Amber walked out in a long shirt with a big yawn and stretch.

"Mornin' sleepy head," Jay laughed giving his "baby" sister a hug. He was older than her by a hour or so, she was very stubborn and still is.

Amber groaned, "It's way too early. What are you doing here again?"

Raine laughed. "That's great to say when he hasn't seen you a half a year, last thing he knew you were dead," she said.

"I'm used to it," Jay replied. Before he could say more, the elevator dinged again and Jeremy walked out.

"Amber, I need my meds, where did you put them?" he asked, oblivious to Jay standing there trying not to laugh at him. At least he had his pants on, though he had no shirt on to cover the weight bandages over his chest.

Amber couldn't help put laugh. "In your back pocket," she replied and then said to Jay. "He got shot, three times."

Raine was surprised by Jay's reaction, he was ecstatic and happy. Is your brother sane? She asked Amber when Jay went to hug Jeremy.

"Dude, it's about time!" he said.

Honestly, I have no idea, Amber replied, pulling her brother back by his shirt collar. "Let him be, Carson will kill you if you break his stitches," Amber said, and then winked at Jeremy. "Um, Jay , can I talk to you for second… alone."

Ah, have fun with that, and I'll start calling the men in white, Raine smiled, before dragging Alek and Jeremy out of the room to let the siblings talk. However, she really wanted to hear this conversation so she open her and Amber's mind link to eavesdrop.

Jay, like many older brothers, thought that he was in deep trouble, ha, he didn't know the half of it. "Oh great, what did I do this time," he asked, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"It's not what you did… it's what I did," Amber sighed, rolling her shoulder to get his hand off.

"Oh god, you're pregnant!" he exclaimed.

Amber shouted and laughed, "NO! I'm not. Geez, you have the same reaction as dad!"

"If its not that, then what is it?" Jay asked, happy that he wasn't going to be an uncle.

Amber sighed and looked up into her brother's eyes. "Jay, I'm getting married," she smiled. Jay had a different reaction than John, thankfully, but he took it like a man and fainted.

Amber knelt down beside him on the floor and sighed. "What a man you are," she muttered before shouting. "He fainted!"

Later

Amber called Sarah, Jay's wife (we are still trying to figure out that one), told her that her husband was lying on the floor because he fainted at the news. Sarah arrived at the house in about a half hour with both Seth and Sophia. Seth was 2 and a half, while his little sister Sophia was six months old, they were both adorable. During the wait for Sarah, Amber had changed and so did Jeremy, so they were at least decent.

"So, what did you tell him?" Sarah asked, giving Amber Sophia to hold. Sarah had dark brown hair and blue eyes, she too had been in the army for a short period of time and resigned when Jay was taken off duty.

Amber smiled at Sophia, who just woke up; she was so cute. "Wow, you did forget. About me and Jeremy getting hitched," she answered, looking up from the baby.

"Oh that's right!" Sarah laughed. Seth was holding her hand and looked up at Amber, he hadn't seen her since he was born so he didn't remember her.

Finally, Jeremy came over and took Sophia from Amber. "I'm surprised that John didn't faint, he screamed when he read her file," he said to Sarah, who laughed.

"That must have been a YouTube® moment, at least he didn't shoot you," Sarah said. (note: they haven't even bothered to see if Jay was okay. They left him on the floor.)

"It was, you had to be there… actually, he tried to shoot me," Jeremy said. Amber had finally decided that Jay slept long enough and poor a ice-cold glass of water on his head. He jumped to his feet shaking the water off his head.

Amber laughed. "Good morning to you, have a nice sleep?" she asked, still laughing.

Jay nodded slightly, looking at Sarah. "You knew, didn't you?" he said, even though he knew the answer.

"She told me a while ago, I just forgot," Sarah smiled guiltily, lightly moving Seth to go over to his dad. Jay let it go, she had him wrapped around her finger.

Raine came into the room, Alek stayed back because the kids would be afraid of him. She thought Seth and Sophia were the cutest and took Sophia from Jeremy. "Aw! Can I steal her?!" Raine asked, then received a horrified look from Sarah when Jay started to say sure, as a joke. "Don't worry, she wouldn't go over well with Alek."

"He's here?!" Sarah exclaimed looking around, she had heard a lot about him and Raine, from many e-mails with Amber.

Raine nodded. "He's upstairs," she replied. "You can meet him later, when the kids are passed out."

They chatted for a little while longer and then put the kids to sleep in the first floor living room while they sat down and enjoyed some dinner that Sarah, Amber and Raine ordered over the phone. Alek came down at that time. "So, why did you guys come back to this boring old galaxy. There's probably loads of better places to be than Earth," Jay laughed, sipping a beer.

"The wonderful ancients decided to boot our asses," Amber replied, sipping a bottle of Mountain Dew®; she's not allowed to have beer ever since what happened at her 21st birthday, you don't even want to know. "They said that one day they will let us return, but not now. I really hope that they get killed by the Replicators and eaten by the wraith."

"I second that," Raine said, and then Alek grumbled in acknowledgement.

"Why would the ancients do that? I mean, you were the ones that brought them back to Atlantis anyway!" Sarah asked, after taking a bite of her food. "Then hardly seem like the great people we've read about."

Amber sighed, "Who knows, but if it was up to me, I'd say screw them and stay there. However, Raine changed my mind."

Drop it, Raine scowled and then said, "It wouldn't be a good idea, they wouldn't work well with the Earth people. Too Smart for them."

Jay laughed, he had met most of the people that went on the expedition and most of them wouldn't classify as smart enough to work with the ancients.

It was nearly midnight when Jay and Sarah went home with the kids. Amber sighed, leaning in the doorway watching her already married brother go home with his wife and kids. He got married at twenty, and now he has survived marriage for two years, he's lucky. You wouldn't say that she was jealous, but she didn't think that it was fair that the twin brother got married before the hott sister. Oh well, Amber just wanted to see Jay happy because she rarely got to see him since her job shipped her over galaxies.

Jeremy came up behind her and saw her expression. He could only imagine what his brothers were going to think when their baby brother by seven (Jeff) and eleven (Matt) years gets married before them, he's only twenty-three. "Come on, time to get you in bed," he said, pulling her back into the house and shutting the door.

She yawned with a nod, "Yeah, yeah, I'm goin'."

Raine laughed as she and Alek walked up the stairs. "'Night, see you two in the morning, and I mean it!" Raine said before they went down the third floor corridor.

Monday

"Wake up! You lazy bum! It's already done, get up! Damn, I need to get me some of those pain killers," Amber shouted, jumping on the bed beside the still passed out Jeremy. She was fully dressed in green camouflage pants and a white tube top with the camo wrist warmers and hat. "That's it, wake up or you're going to find yourself in more pain than you already are. That's right, I'll bring your brothers here."

Amber sighed and jumped off the bed, grabbing the bottle of pain meds on the nightstand. "Hydromophome, damn," Amber said, shaking the bottle slightly before placing it back down. She thought for a moment and ran into the bath. A few minutes later she walked back over to bed with a bucket ice cold water. "You got to the count of three before I soak your ass with ice cold water. One…two…three!" Amber said, and since he didn't moan or even budge, she dumped the 4 liters of water on him. That woke him up.

"What was that for!?" he shouted, jumping out of bed.

"I warned you, we have to leave the house by one-thirty. It's one-o-seven now, and you wouldn't wake up, that's where the water came into play. Hydromophome, strong meds indeed," Amber replied, wiping off the water that had sprayed onto her face. "Come on. Don't want to keep Jeff and Matt waiting, you know how they get."

Amber left the room without a reply, pocketing the pain meds as she went by the nightstand. Raine was already waiting with Alek by the door, she was excited to meet the famous Hardy boys Amber had talked about. Thanks for the cold water, Amber smirked walking out the front door. Oh, pink or red Ferrari?

Which was your signature car when you were on tour? Raine asked, giving Amber the answer of the pink one.

Raine shook her head and looked at Alek. "This is going to be interesting, why are you so 'grr'?" she asked.

"Don't really want to be here," he grumbled.

"Yeah, well, it's better than Atlantis and better than being under the constant supervision of the SGC. I'd rather be here than there any day," Raine replied, just before Jeremy left the elevator. "Enjoy your wake-up call did we?"

He just glared at her, not an Alek glare, but enough for her not to say anything. His blond hair was soaked and he still looked tired. "Yeah, thanks for your input," he mumbled walking out the door while messing up his wet hair.

Raine smiled, and heard Alek laugh, really laugh. "Perfect," she laughed and followed him out the door.

Amber pulled up in her custom-made pink Ferrari and she had a smile across her face. "Raine, Alek, since this is a two-seater, you two get the bike over there," Amber said, moving her head to the left where a bike was waiting. "Key is in the ignition."

Raine smirked, chuckling manically as she and Alek ran over. The bike was a silver BMW K1200R Sport, and a very nice one at that. "Will follow," Raine smiled, getting on the bike behind Alek. She wrapped her arms around his waist when he pulled the kickstand back with his foot after starting the engine.

"Alright," Amber said, when Jeremy sat in the passenger seat. "Now, good morning sweetie, how did you sleep?"

"Really great, though tomorrow I would like to wake up dry," Jeremy replied, laughing at her sudden change of mood. "Come on, you know how Jeff and Matt will get if we don't get there on time."

Amber frowned, pressing the gas petal as far as it will go. "You better put your seat belt on," she said, driving the Ferrari right through the open gate with Alek and Raine following behind.

It took about an hour to get to Denver Civic Center from Amber's house, they weren't really paying attention to the speed limits. Amber knew all the Police Departments, and Jay was a local cop, so they were clear as long as they stopped at the stoplights on red. Amber pulled up to the security man who stopped them at the garage where all the superstars were parked. "Sorry, Ms., but you have to use the other garage," he said.

"You know, I really don't think Jeff and Matt will like their poor injured baby brother walking all that way," Amber said, holding up her I.D. "They're with us."

The man's eyes widened, "Go right in!"

Amber smiled, "Thank you." She pulled the Ferrari though the gate and then she and Jeremy started to laugh. No, no person in a Ferrari should be allowed in the Superstars' garage, what a moron.

She parked the car in the closest spot and Alek parked the bike beside them. "You guys can have it," Amber smiled, "as an early Christmas gift or something." She hoped over the driver's door and looked around, no one was in their cars. They must be rehearsing or something inside.

"You serious?" Alek asked, he liked motorcycles.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Amber asked, puzzled.

"Thanks," Raine smiled, sliding off the bike and brushing off the dust on her jeans and black tank top.

Amber nodded, "Let's go."

They followed her into the backstage area of the civic center, some of the crew looked at them weird, but said nothing. Amber looked around, not as frantically as Jeremy, to find Jeff and Matt. Though, instead she ran over to another Superstar she had worked with. "Hey John!" Amber smiled, stopping in front of John Cena.

"Amber? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be over seas?" he asked, being a marine himself. He glanced over her shoulder at Jeremy, Raine and Alek. "You must be look for the Hardys. There out in the ring."

"Thanks John. We, uh, had a little set back and they set us home for a while," Amber replied with a truthful lie. "See you later!"

She led the way to the arena where the Hardys were rehearsing their match for the show that night against Kurt Hawkins and Zach Ryder. "Jeremy, they're your brothers you go first," Amber said, pushing him forward. He sighed and walked down the ramp (yeah, they went that way) to see his brothers.

Matt stopped getting ready to do a Twist of Fate on Ryder when he saw Jeremy coming down. "Guys, I think we've got it," he said, when Jeff jumped off the top rope to the ground outside the ring and ran up to their baby brother. He soon rolled under the bottom rope and did the same.

Jeff had blond and blue hair, wow close to normal. He lift up Jeremy over his shoulder. Amber sighed and said, "You have to put him down. Trust me, put him down."

Jeff obeyed, he knew what Amber was like when she wanted something done. "What are you guys doing back? Aren't you guys on like a five year trip or something?" he asked. "Oh, and why did I have to put him down?"

Jeremy laughed. "Funny story actually… who knew jumping in front of a bullet would actually hurt?"

Matt and Jeff exchanged looks before saying exactly what Jay did. "It's about fucking time. So, is Major Amber babysitting you?" Matt teased.

"Uh, no," Jeremy sighed, trying to ignore Raine's background laughing. "They sort of got sent back because they needed a break."

"Ah, dude, you need to find yourself a girl you can't live your life alone," Jeff said, resting a hand on Jeremy's shoulder and gave him a nod.

Aren't they cute! Amber said to Raine, sitting on the edge of the ring.

Yeah… Alek's wondering what's with Jeff's hair, Raine replied.

It's actually close to normal, Amber stated, looking around the arena.

Jeremy put his hand on Jeff's shoulder. "That's why I'm here, because I do have a girl that I'm getting married to," he said, trying to keep a straight face. Jeff and Matt both looked at him in disbelief. They started to flood him with questions about what she was like, how old is she, is she hott, and what's her name.

"Come on, you've got to tell us so we can persuade her to dump your ass. It's just not right that the baby brother gets hitched before the older ones."

"I doubt that she'll give in, 'cause she just heard this entire conversation…" Jeremy said, his straight face now gone as he winked at Amber who was jumping off the top rope and doing a triple flip in the air.

Jeff caught the wink and started to feel faint.

Raine laughed. "Man, is he going to take it like a man too and faint like Jay?" she asked. Alek grinned because he was thinking the same thing too.

Matt looked at her. "And who are you?"

"Raine, this is Alek. We're, er, co-workers with them," she answered. "Wow, first we have a gun showdown, then the idiotic 'since when' from Rodney, then Jay fainting, and now the two of you. What's it going to be? Re-injuring your brother or what?"

"It's going to be amusing either way," Alek grumbled. He speaks!

Matt and Jeff shook their heads. "Nah, we wouldn't strangle him until he's healed. We'll put him back in the hospital like the fish did… yeah, we know about that. I'm happy for you man," Matt said, hugging his brother.

Jeff crossed his arms, he was totally jealous that his baby brother got to do Amber and he didn't. He tried to get her to go out with him when they worked together, but obviously it didn't work out. "I'm glad too," he scowled, glancing over at Amber, and now Raine, in the ring. They were just tossing each other around for yucks, to pass the time. Alek watched Raine to make she didn't get hurt, though he really didn't have to worry about anything.

"So dude, can we see the battle scars!" Matt asked, getting Jeff back into his whacked-out self. Jeff didn't give Jeremy a choice and lifted off his shirt. "Dude, three times! You should be dead. Who did you jump in front of, must have been someone important."

"If it wasn't you two, then who else would it be. I'll give you idiots a hint: she's got a nice ass, curves, and oh look, she's standing right behind you with camo pants. I say again, you're idiots," Jeremy sighed, snatching his shirt back and putting it back on.

So those are Jeremy's half-brothers. Their mom died when they were thirteen, his mom got together with their dad and that's how Jeremy came to be. The four of them stayed for the show, Amber and Raine found it exciting; Alek and Jeremy could care less. One because they prefer real fighting, and two, they weren't gay to look at the half-naked guys wrestle.

We don't have any connection with WWE or the Hardys, which is very unfortunate because they rock. The whole story of Jeremy being their brother is not true, though it is true that the Hardys mother died which is very sad. Please don't take our story line of that, it's original.

I, Twi, own the rights to Jay, Sarah, Seth and Sophia Sheppard so please don't use them.
