Orton Residence in St. Louis, Missouri
(April 3, 2015)
On the couch of her den, Jeff sat with a heating pack pressed against her back and feet up at her side. She watched her kids run by with Kaia, all playing and being careful to not bump into the couch. A cup of ice tea was given to Jeff by Michelle, who was helping her stepdaughter with recovering and care to the kids.
"Your back getting any better?"
"Yeah. It hurts less from the heat loosening some muscles up."
"Good."
"Mommy." five year old Alanna ran over followed by the others. "Can we watch Smackdown, please?"
"Yes, you can watch it." Jeff agreed.
She turned on the television to go to the recording of Smackdown from the other night on the DVR. The kids all took their seats on the floor to begin watching it with full attention. Jeff frowned when Nikki Bella stepped out to the ring with mic in her hand.
"I know all of you witnessed my assault on Jeff Hardy on Raw." Nikki said. "Well, she got what deserved for thinking herself better than me, the Divas Champion."
"It was uncalled for." Cole claimed.
"Who is Jeff Hardy?" Nikki asked the fans. "Let's answer that. Her name full first name Jeffyne is weird and goes by a guy's name of Jeff. Obviously her parents wanted another boy."
"Jeff, you shouldn't watch this." Michelle suggested.
"Her birth parents gave her up for adoption when was an infant. I think we only found out she was the Undertaker's daughter because Diamond Dallas Page was stalking that family."
"Nikki needs to stop." Cole warned.
"Now, let's go into her life once in this company."
On the titantron appeared Jeff from her early years as a professional wrestler. The then nineteen year old Jeff wore checkered tights and sports bra of dark reddish pink, dark green, and dark blue. Her hair was it's natural blonde and kept back with a checkered headband.
"Wow. She had some interesting gear as a rookie. Fashion design obviously wasn't for you, Jeff." Nikki laughed. "I see you were wearing a training bra as your top. You never developed in that area in puberty."
The next photo to come up on the titantron was Jeff when apart of the New Brood. She wore a see through red rash guard with sports bra underneath and cargo pants that seemed to be the start of certain gear for her in her wrestling career.
"The start of Jeff changing hair colors when in her goth phase and hanging with a guy that thought he was a vampire."
Nikki revealed the next photo of Jeff with different shades of blue hair with a baseball cap over it, sleeveless shirt, and cargo pants. A laugh left Nikki as she seemed to find something amusing about the photo from 2001.
"Jeff when apart of Team Xtreme. Now let's skip a few years of Jeff's career to 2007."
Up on the titantron came a photo of Jeff with short dyed blonde hair, wearing a tank top, her usual cargo pants, and with her bottom lip pierced in the middle. The photo reminded Jeff of her rivalry with Randy.
"Early 2008 before Royal Rumble, Jeff was set to verse Randy Orton for the WWE Championship. After she did a 30 foot Swanton onto him, she was proposed to by Orton." Nikki revealed to the fans. "The funny thing is that he only proposed because thought had knocked Jeff up."
On the couch, Jeff was stunned over what Nikki had just said about the proposal. She glanced to her engagement ring that was an emerald square like a wrestling ring. The idea of Randy only having proposed for a single reason unnerved Jeff.
"And Jeff found out she was not long after the rumble match. Sad to say Jeff that you miscarried and it was the start of bad luck to fill 2008. Your house burning down, then an attack in a stairwell. Let's not forget the pyro accident. Almost all of them were done by Jeff's beloved big brother Matt. Every time something good happened, Matt struck not long after. Your wedding."
The picture of Jeff and Randy on their wedding day came up on the titantron at the direction of Nikki. Jeff had let her hair go back to her natural color and wore a white strapless gown that hugged her body. She stood smiling with Randy who wore a black suit and bowtie.
"You look so happy, Jeff." Nikki sarcastically claimed. "Then, the stairwell attack before Survivor Series. You win the WWE Championship to make history and by the next pay-per-view, Matt ended your reign. Then, you believed it all over with Matt after Backlash. Better things became in August of 2009 since you and Randy would be parents."
Nikki had a photo taken of Jeff after Alanna's birth in the hospital come up for the fans. A mess Jeff was with her chopped short hair a sweaty mess and exhaustion covering her face as she laid in the hospital bed.
"Where is she getting these photos?" Michelle asked.
"Cena's phone." Jeff knew.
"Jeff then decided to explore new lands of wrestling. In the new lands, Jeff had an affair with fellow faction mate Bobby Roode."
Unable Jeff was to look at the photo of herself in a crop top purple dress shirt, low waist jeans, and Bobby Roode kissing the side of her neck. The next photo was one from a distance to reveal Roode's arms around her waist as he pulled her face in for a kiss.
"Are we sure that your second daughter is Randy's?" Nikki asked amused.
"This is going too far." King claimed.
"You are no great legend Jeff. I will always be better than a slut like yourself."
All of the fans directed their attention to where Stephanie came down the ramp. The Billion Dollar Princess got in the ring to stand a few steps from Nikki.
"You are on a roll of digging a deeper and deeper grave for yourself, Nikki." Stephanie told the champion. "My husband stopped Orton from ending your reign as Divas Champion and any future ones as well."
"He would've not touched me." Nikki shrugged.
"You might want to stop before unable to run." Stephanie suggested. "Just some advice from a former champion to a current one."
With the advice given, Stephanie left the ring for backstage. Unimpressed Nikki appeared to be as she ended her promo and made her way out of the ring and up the ramp with her music playing.
"You okay?" Michelle worried.
"I hate being reminded of my time in Immortal."
"That bitch doesn't know the truth to that." Michelle quietly told Jeff.
A nod came from Jeff in knowing that Michelle was right. They heard the front door open for Jeff to assume it was her husband getting home from traveling to house shows.
"Here is Jeff Hardy after being taught not to mess with the Divas Champion." Nikki informed as she stepped in view with a cameraman.
"Get out of my house." Jeff ordered as she painfully got off the couch too fast.
"Try to make me." Nikki said.
"I'll make you." Michelle declared and punched Nikki in the mouth. "Too bad it still won't shut you up."
Nikki was no match for the protective mother Michelle was being of Jeff. The Divas Champion fled through the front door from the former one. No need was there to touch the cameraman since he ran out after Nikki. Sprinklers got turned on by Michelle to soak Nikki and ruin the camera.
"No care for privacy that one has." AJ Styles spat as he entered the house.
"Hey, AJ." Jeff greeted her friend.
"Just thought that I would come check on you." AJ informed.
"Just threw out some trash." Michelle claimed after she turned the sprinklers off.
"Jeff!" Randy ran into the house, filled with worry for his wife.
"I'm okay. Mom didn't let Nikki touch me."
"Cena is going to pay for giving Nikki access to those photos." Randy promised his wife.
"I think the two of you need to talk. AJ can drive Kaia and me to the airport." Michelle told the couple.
After saying their goodbyes, Michelle led Kaia out to AJ's car. The front door was closed with Randy locking it where it could only be unlocked from the inside. Jeff went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner for her family and felt Randy come up behind her.
"What's bothering you?"
"What was the reason for you proposing?"
"I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you."
"Please be honest with me, Randy. Was it due to thinking that I was pregnant?"
"No. If that was at all the reason, I would have proposed the night of SummerSlam 2004. That was the night I feared was going to lose you and knew how close it had come." Randy laid a hand on Jeff's stomach. "The next night after Raw, I arrived and sat at your bedside in the hospital, grieving for the child we lost."
"Now, we have three kids that are blessings." Jeff set her hand over his.
"Everyday." Randy agreed.
"Nikki needs to be dealt with. Her title means nothing to me. I just want to show her just why you don't mess with the Legend Thriller."
"I love when you show your dark side." Randy smirked into her neck.
The couple had to separate when their kids entered the kitchen. Jeff returned to making dinner while Randy kept the kids occupied until time for them to eat. As Jeff put the lasagna in the oven, she sent a text to Stephanie to see her at Raw.
