While Krista was watching the tapes, Jeff went to the work out room across the hall. Krista's door was open so that if anything happened Jeff would have easy access to the room. Krista was just about done watching all the tapes, when Matt, Michelle, Jason and Trista all showed up. Jeff went to the showers and soon joined everyone in Krista's office.
"How about some lunch?" Jeff asked as he walked back into Krista's office. "You and the twins need to eat."
"Lunch sounds great, but I have so much work to get done." Krista stated."You need to eat and the work can wait. Plus we don't have to leave for Portland until late tomorrow. Let's go get some lunch." Matt stated.
"Alright let me lock up and we can go." Krista stated.
The six of them headed off to lunch. After lunch Krista and Jeff headed back to the hotel and Krista took a short nap. After she woke up, they headed back to the arena so that she could finish the paper work. She signed off on everyone's payroll, she approved some of the vacation requests, and sent memos to those she didn't approve due to scheduling conflicts, and she decided that for the new talent, it would have to wait until after the twins were born.
The last set of papers were the match requests for the coming weeks. As she was approving the match requests she saw one that really stood out. The Undertaker was requesting a match against Randy Orton, but it wouldn't be just any match. He was requesting a Casket Match. Krista went ahead and approved the match for week that they would be in Anaheim, California.
"Hey baby. What do you think about having Jodi and the kids fly out to Los Angeles while we are in Anaheim for RAW?" Krista asked. "We can spend a day or two with them at Disneyland."
"That's a great idea." Jeff responded.
"Great! I will make the reservations tonight." Krista stated as she looked up the flights and hotel for Jodi and the kids.
After Krista was done booking the flights and hotel and finished with all the paper work, she and Jeff headed back to the hotel to shower and change. They were due to meet up with Matt and Michelle for dinner. While Jeff was in the shower and Krista had just finished getting dressed, her phone beeped. Michelle had sent her a text.
"Krista, need you to come to our room ASAP. Don't bring Jeff. Urgent." read the text.
"Ok. I will be right there. Where is Matt?" Krista text back.
"He had to run back to the arena, something about meeting with Tommy Dreamer and Marty. Come quick." Michelle responded.
"Baby, I need to go over to Michelle's room real quick. I will be right back." Krista stated as she popped her head into the bathroom.
"Ok. Be careful." Jeff responded.
Krista took off towards Michelle's room. When she got there Michelle looked like she was in a panic.
"Michelle! What's wrong?" Krista asked worried.
"Well, this morning before we left for the arena, I took a home test and I think it's positive." Michelle stated feeling a little scared.
"Ok. Where is the test? Are you scared?" Krista responded calmly.
"In the bathroom. Scared, no. Terrified, yes. I don't know how Matt is going to take this if I am." Michelle stated with tears in her eyes.
"It will be ok. I know for a fact that Matt will be thrilled to become a father for the first time. Let's go look at the test." Krista reassured her as they walked into the bathroom.
"It has two pink lines. Michelle, you're pregnant according to this test." Krista told her. "I can take you to my former doctor in town tomorrow if you would like. She can do a hospital grade test and have the results back by the afternoon."
"Ok. I think that would be a good idea. I want to be 100% sure before I say anything to Matt." Michelle stated. "Please don't say anything to him. You can tell Jeff as I know you tell each other everything."
"I won't say anything to anyone until you know for sure." Krista responded. "Come on. Let's head back to my room so that I can finish getting ready. I will text Matt to meet us at the restaurant when he is done."
Krista and Michelle headed back to Krista's room. Jeff was just about ready to go and Krista quickly finished her make up and text Matt. The three of them left for the restaurant. When they got there, Matt was waiting for them and had already placed their names on the waiting list. After they were done with their dinners, they headed to the space needle to view the cityscape from way up high.
The next day Krista and Michelle took off to see Krista's former doctor. The doctor ran the necessary tests and told them that she would call them when the results were in. Krista and Michelle then headed to the arena so that Krista could grab the stuff that she needed before meeting the guys back at the hotel for their drive to Portland.
While they were on the road to Portland, Michelle's phone went off. It was the doctor with the test results. Jeff was up front with Matt while the girls were in the back of the bus. Michelle was nervous, but she answered the phone anyways. The doctor told her that everything was fine and that she was indeed pregnant. The doctor also told her that she was about 6 weeks along.
"Is everything ok, Michelle?" Krista asked quietly.
"I'm 6 weeks pregnant." Michelle whispered. "How am I going to tell Matt?"
"I will help you plan it out so that you can tell him in a relaxed and private manor." Krista told her. "It will be ok."
After arriving in Portland, Krista, Jeff, Matt and Michelle headed directly to the arena to put up the sign in sheets for everyone to sign. After they were done at the arena they all headed over to Krista's parents house for a home cooked meal. When they arrived at the house, Jason's car was there and so was he and Trista. After everyone was in the house and done getting settled, Karen walked with her daughter around the house.
"How are you feeling?" Karen asked.
"I feel good mom. I'm starting to get tired more often, but I still feel good. Plus with everyone around me, if something happens I will be taken care of right away." Krista stated
"That's good. I know you still have about 12 weeks before those babies are due, but remember, this is your third pregnancy and you are also carrying twins this time and twins usually have a habit of being born earlier than expected." Karen told her daughter.
"I know mom and we now have an OB/GYN doctor on hand at all times while we are on the road. So she makes sure that I get checked for everything all the time. And so far everything is on schedule as it should be." Krista told her.
"Good. Well I have a surprise for you and it's out on the back porch." Karen responded.
They walked out to the back porch and there stood Michael and Mickie. Mickie had been released from the hospital and given the ok to travel lightly, but to still remain out of action for a while. Krista hugged both of them. They soon all sat down to dinner. Karen had cooked for what seemed like an army, but with as many people there and Krista eating for three, she knew that most of the food would be gone.
After dinner they sat around and talked. Krista and Jeff showed off the 3-d ultrasound pictures from her last appointment. Her parents scanned the pictures onto their computer. Soon it was time for everyone to head to the hotel as tomorrow would be another busy day. Her parents would be attending this show as well.
"Welcome to Monday Night RAW, live from Portland, Oregon." Jerry stated as the show started.
"That we are, Jerry. And this is also the third week of the Krista Hardy Story. With the announcement of Krista as the new General Manager of RAW and the attack on Mickie James by Randy Orton just a few weeks ago, I had to look at the shows ratings. And Jerry, this show has been rated the number one show for two weeks straight." JR stated.
"WOW! I sure hope that corporate sees those ratings." Jerry responded. "But before we can get to Orton's match against Jericho, we have Matt Hardy vs. The Brian Kendrick and Jeff Hardy vs. Edge."
Matt's theme music started to play and he headed out into the arena.
"This match is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 236 lbs, from Cameron, North Carolina, Your ECW Champion, Maaaaattt Haaarrrrdy!" Lillian announced.
"And now making his way into the ring, weighing in at 293 lbs, from Venice, California, The Brian Kendrick!" Lillian announced as Kendrick danced his way to the ring.
The bell rang and both men locked arms. Kendrick broke free and shoved Matt towards a turnbuckle. Kendrick ran towards Matt and performs "Flying Forearm Smash". Matt falls hard to the mat. After a few moments, Matt gets up. Kendrick turns around just in time to see Matt come running towards him and performs a "Twist of Fate" to Kendrick. Kendrick recovers and gets up and runs towards Matt. They lock arms again. Kendrick performs the "Tornado DDT " to Matt. Matt gets up after a few seconds and runs towards Kendrick and performs another "Twist of Fate". Kendrick stays down for a few seconds. Kendrick attempts to run at Matt, but Matt manages to perform a third "Twist of Fate". Kendrick stays down. Matt performs a "forearm smash" and pins Kendrick and the ref counts again 1..2..3. Matt wins the match. Matt then grabs his belt and heads backstage.
After Matt made his way back stage, it was time for Jeff's match against Edge. Edge's music started playing as Matt wished his brother good luck.
"This match is scheduled for one fall. Making his way into the ring, weighing in at 250 lbs, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Edge" Lillian announced as Edge made his way to the ring.
"And now making his way to the ring, weighing in at 225 lbs from Cameron, North Carolina, your WWE Champion, Jeeefff Haaarrrdy!" Lillian announced.
Jeff did his in ring dance and got the crowd going. Jeff proudly showed off his title belt.
The crowd starts chanting "Har-dy, Har-dy!"
The bell rang and both men circled around the ring before locking arms. Jeff broke free and swung Edge towards a turnbuckle. Edge slammed into the turn buckle and slumped down. Edge got up and walked away but turned around just in time to see Jeff come running towards him, but Edge performs the "Eye of the Hurricane". Jeff falls to the mat as Edge starts pounding him. Edge then performs a "missile drop kick." Edge attempts to pin Jeff. The ref counts 1..2..and Jeff kicks out. After a few seconds, Jeff manages to regain his strength and gets up. Jeff runs and bounces off the ropes and comes towards Edge, and performs the "Twist of Fate." Edge hit's the mat, but doesn't stay down for long. Edge then attempts to perform "Hurrichokeslam", but Jeff moved out of the way and Edge hit's the mat pretty hard. Jeff climbs the ropes as the crowd chants "Har-dy, Har-dy." Jeff performed "Swanton Bomb." Jeff pins Edge and the ref counts 1..2..3, Jeff wins the match.
"Let's take a look at what happened last week on RAW." JR stated as they showed a recap of last weeks show.
"I'm only guessing here, but it looks as if Randy Orton crossed the wrong person and is having to learn the hard way." Jerry commented.
"It sure does seem that way. I've just been informed that Randy Orton has arrived in the arena and will be facing Midnight tonight." Jerry stated.
"Well I wonder if Orton has learned his lesson yet about not screwing around with Krista Hardy?" Jerry asked.
"Who knows but one thing is for sure he's gotta be in some pain after weeks of hell from Chuck Palumbo and Chris Jericho." JR stated.
Batista's music plays and walks down to the announcers table as the arena cheers. He joins Jerry and JR at the table. Batista picks up a head set and sits down with a smile on his face.
"Joining us here at ring side is the Animal.. Batista. Thanks for coming down." Jerry announced.
" Not a problem guys. I love being out here." Batista stated.
"So I gotta ask, when do we see the return of the Animal to the ring?" Jerry asked.
"I'm not really sure as you can see I'm not even dressed for the part tonight." Batista answered.
"I see you're wearing a Midnight shirt. Care to explain?" Jerry asked.
"I kinda like it. Classic 80's rock look." JR commented.
"Yeah well look at the back." Batista stated.
Batista stand up and shows off the back of the shirt it has 6 faces of Midnight as well as other face paints he wore over the past few months.
"The faces glow blue in the dark. Anyway I've watched this kid over the past few months and I impressed. He's got that old school style with in a new school system." Batista stated.
"Coming to the ring from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 245 pounds, Randy Orton." Chimel announced
"I really hope he learns his lesson tonight." Batista stated.
"Well, there are some people you just can't reach and he may be one of them." Jerry responded.
"Too true." Batista stated.
"Ladies and Gentlemen the General Manager of RAW, Krista Hardy!" Chimel announced.
Krista waits for the crowd to die down before she makes her announcement but she smiles and waves as she waits.
"Ok Randy. This is the last time before it turns "Grave." Are you ready to admit you where wrong?" Krista asked.
"I told you last week No. And I meant it. How many times do I have to say it. Are you daft in the head?" Randy responded.
"Ok I tried." Krista stated.
The titantron flickers on with Midnights face which was split between a tribal version of Boogeyman and a plain very lightly detailed make up like a zombie.
"Do you know anything Chinese culture Randy? It is said the Samurai's who have failed there clans chopped off the tuft of hair they have in back if they're not killed or commit what is called hara-kiri self suicide." Midnight stated
The arena darkens and only the titantron stays lit up but it shows Midnight covering Orton for a pin. The lights come back on Orton spins around to see a black boot coming at his face and hears the bell ring.
"It would appear that our 12am warrior isn't playing nice tonight as those repeated open hand shots and elbow strikes connect with Orton's face and body." JR stated.
"I don't know what he's doing but he's good at it." Jerry responded.
Midnight pounds on Orton then picking him up and strong Irish whipping Orton into the corner. Orton has no time to turn around as Midnight comes crashing down on him with a body splash and then into a shoulder ram to the back.
"I would hope that Randy Orton learns his lesson after this as Batista said before." JR stated.
"Those open handed strike and elbow shots are from the Tai-chi style of Martial arts." Batista commented.
"Wow he really is taking after Undertaker. A student of all striking forms. Any idea how that feels Batista?" Jerry asked.
"Well I have to tell you that body splash did some damage and i tell ya just about everything he's doing to Orton hurts. I did try one of those open handed strikes and well it does hurt as much as a closed fist." Batista responded.
Midnight sets Orton on the top rope. He shoves his head under Orton's arm and falls back into a Super Plex and tries for a bridge pin.
"A count of 2 and the ref's hand was coming down for the 3." JR stated.
Midnight gets up and quickly trying to hide the pain he feels now screaming up his back and grabs Orton setting him up for the Midnight Ride. It connects but instead of going for the pin he sets Orton up for a 2nd ride.
"I hope the E.M.T's are on stand by. This looks bad for both men." Batista stated.
"I think he's doing a second one for good measure." Jerry commented.
"I hate to say it but good. He needs to do it for the win and considering how mad he looks who'd blame him." Batista stated.
