The Hardy-McMahon house, Cameron, North Carolina
Beth Hardy walked over to her parents who were having coffee in the living room. After a whole day of talking to lawyers with the Damsels of Destruction, Steph and Jeff were exhausted. The McMahon-Hardy family had so much on its plate these days, not that Stephanie was complaining.
With Hayworth Helmsley taking her side against his father Triple H after losing his inheritance to Seth Rollins, the McMahon heiress was sure to get the WWE assets back in the McMahon family name before Wrestlemania. All she needed to do was to make sure DX were served before the end of the week but because of a weird incident at the HayMac apartment, Hayworth had not signed the legal documents giving his consent for the suit to go ahead. For the assets to remain in Hayworth's name, the Last Helmsley would have to agree to sue his father. Until that happened, Stephanie couldn't make it official and tell the world that she was suing DX.
Jeff leaned back on the soft leather sofa and sighed while Stephanie smiled to herself with her well-manicured feet up on her husband's lap. She saw Beth Hardy standing in the doorway and smiled at her beautiful daughter who was visibly preoccupied about something.
"Get in here Elizabeth," she said and Beth came over to her mother pulling the sleeves of her eggshell white cardigan down over her wrists. "You always stretch out your cardigan sleeves when you're nervous. What's on your mind?"
Beth sat down on the sofa chair next to her parents, there was clearly something on her mind as her shoulders slouched forward into her chest.
Stephanie looked at Jeff, "Look, she's doing that thing that you do when you're stressed. She's slouching. Your daughter is picking up on your bad habits," Stephanie said as Jeff rubbed his wife's cold feet.
Jeff put his eyes on his daughter, his square jaw was set but his peppermint green eyes were getting the message across, "No slouching Elizabeth Hardy, you'll ruin your posture," he said to Beth Hardy and she sat up straight and started to pull at her pearl strings instead.
"I need to ask you both something," Beth said looking down at her suede dress shoes. "I'm thinking about having sex with someone but he's like, a lot older than I am. Is it wrong for me to want to sleep with someone so much older than me?" she said and Stephanie stared at Beth in disbelief while Jeff's eyes widened.
"Ow!" Stephanie cried out holding her feet as Jeff squeezed her feet in response to his daughter's comments. "Jeff you're hurting me!"
Beth laughed as her father's face changed in tone and she could see worry lines forming on his forehead.
"You want to have sex with an older man?" Jeff said and Beth nodded. "Who is he?"
Beth Hardy decided not to tell her father the Truth and kept Seth's identity a secret; even the Prayer Warrior didn't know how she felt about him. Once Beth Hardy got her hands on the sapphire necklace that Sasha Banks was still wearing, that would certainly change.
"You don't know him Daddy but I've liked him for a long time and I want to sleep with him. He's super nice and he's the kind of person that would never hurt me and I want to be with him, sexually," Beth said and Jeff smiled while Stephanie slowly put her coffee down and turned towards her daughter.
"Well, first of all, let me say Beth I am very proud of you for talking to us about this," Stephanie said and Jeff nodded. "Most kids would just go off and have sex without even telling their parents. Not our girl, isn't she something Jeffrey?" Stephanie said to Jeff proudly.
"She sure is Stephanie," Jeff replied and he scooched next to his wife and they both looked at Beth with pride. Now Beth Hardy felt bad for not telling them who the person was that she wanted to sleep with but there was no way she could tell them who it was. This had to be done in secret otherwise it would never happen.
"I'm not as good as you guys think I am," she said wringing her hands, "to be honest, I'm kind of sick of being good,"
"Well you are good and we're proud of you Elizabeth Marie Hardy," Stephanie said. "Now, about this older man, just how much older is he?"
"He's in his thirties," Beth replied.
"Does he have any children?" Stephanie asked.
"No, I mean he does but he's more of a step-child from another relationship," Beth said and Steph and Jeff started to wonder who this person could be.
"Okay, we get that you don't wanna tell us who this person is but it would really help us if we did know who he was. It would make the advice we'd give you so much better," Stephanie said. "What does he do? Is he American? Does he live nearby?"
Jeff examined his daughter's body language as Stephanie questioned her. "Something tells me that you know this guy really well and if you know him really well, that means that your mother and I must know who he is. We know everyone you know," he said but Beth didn't say anything.
"I just need you guys to tell me if there's something important I need to know about having sex for the first time," Beth said and her parents looked at each other.
"Well, its been a while for both of us. We've been having sex for a long time Beth," Jeff said.
"Yeah but what was it like the first time you had sex? How was it, did you know what you were doing or did you have to do it again and again before you got it right?" Beth asked and Stephanie blushed.
"Well, your father is a wonderful man Elizabeth. We were friends before we became lovers and given the relationship I was in prior to marrying your father, his friendship was more important to me than the sex itself," Sephanie said and Beth nodded as her mother opened up to her. "But to answer your question directly, your father knew what he was doing and I didn't have any complaints. The first time we have sex was great and fyi, it still is,"
Beth Hardy pulled back and put her hand up as her parents kissed, "Okay Mom, that's more than enough information on this subject for me, thank you," she said.
"You really like this person don't you?" Jeff asked Beth and his daughter nodded.
"He's such a great person and I couldn't imagine my first time being with anyone else," Beth said and her parents nodded.
"I will say one thing though Beth. Sex comes with a lot of stuff, are you sure you want to have sex with this person and not commit fully to them first?" Stephanie asked Beth.
"No, I want to sleep with him, like really, really bad," Beth replied. "I know what type of person he is and my mind's made up and you know how us McMahon women get when we make up our minds Mom,"
"Indeed I do," Stephanie replied. "Alright Beth, I say go for it. Do we need to talk about birth control and safe sex?"
"No, I got the gist of it from high school," Beth said. "So do I just climb on top of him or do I have to do stuff to him first?"
Jeff Hardy burst out laughing and got to his feet holding his stomach, "I'll let you take it from here babe. I'm gonna start on lunch," he said laughing all the way to the kitchen.
Stephanie tried not to laugh at her daughter's innocence and instead gave her the attention she clearly needed now that she had decided to have sex for the first time. "I'll tell you everythiing you need to know Beth, come sit next to me and let's go through everything while your father tries not to laugh himself silly,"
Beth sat next to Stephanie and they talked about sex for the whole afternoon while Jeff listened to music in the kitchen, trusting his wife to tell his daughter everything she needed to know about the birds and the bees. The less Jeff Hardy knew about the older man who had apparently stolen his daughter's heart, the better.
