April 2002

"I can't believe you are actually going to participate in Wrestlemania," Madison said as she plopped down on the couch next to Jeff.

"It was only a pinched nerve," Jeff said.

"How was your weekend?" Madison asked. "I haven't seen Dallas since you two got back."

It was...good," Jeff said, smiling to himself.

"I'm her sister," Madison said seriously, "You don't need to make allusions to what you two actually do. I don't want to believe you two are doing any of that stuff until you are married."

"Are you telling me you don't have sex with any of the numerous guys you go out with?" Jeff asked.

"I didn't say that," Madison said. "But I don't want to know it's a fact for Dallas until she's married."

"That sounds like hypocrisy to me," Jeff said.

"It may very well be," Madison said. "But that's how I feel."

"I see," Jeff said. "Maybe I'll tell you all about it when we are married."

"So where is my younger sister?" Madison asked.

"Talking to Meredith about their match," Jeff said. "You know, the one where they are going to whip you and Steph's respective asses."

"Right," Madison said. "It's kind of sad, being stuck in different camps because of the whole blow out from that stupid kiss."

"At least you guys are tight again," Jeff commented.

"Yes, we definitely are," Madison said.

"So who did you go out with this weekend?" Jeff asked.

"I went out with Kurt again," Madison said.

"That's what? Five dates?" Jeff asked. "Are you two getting serious?"

"He's only serious about himself," Madison answered, "but he's a nice change from all the guys who fall all over themselves to get me to pay attention to them."

"You don't like those guys huh?" Jeff asked.

"Not by a long shot," Madison said. "Why are you smiling smugly Jeffrey Hardy?"

"I have a secret," Jeff said.

"Tell me!" Madison exclaimed.

"I can't," Jeff said. "Your sister would kill me."

"I'm your best friend!" Madison exclaimed.

"So?" Jeff asked. "I have loyalties to Dallas too."

"Why the hell did you ask us to come here?" Matt asked as he and Meredith came into the dressing room that Jeff shared with Dallas.

"Yeah," Lita agreed as she and Shane came into the dressing room.

"You'll have to wait for a second," Jeff said.

"Hurry up!" they heard Dallas say outside of the dressing room.

"We're coming," Stephanie said, as she came into the room with Jericho. Hunter followed them with Dallas.

"Okay," Madison said, "What is going on?"

"Suspicious much?" Dallas asked.

"Just tell us," Lita said. "Obviously something is up."

"Okay," Jeff said. "As you all know, we went for a trip this weekend."

"We went to Reno," Dallas said.

"While we were there..." Jeff said slowly.

"Look if you don't spit it out," Madison said, "You will never be my brother-in-law because I will kill you."

"Too late," Jeff said.

"We got married," Dallas said.

The room was silent. "Someone say something," Jeff said.

"You've only been going out for two months," Shane said, obviously in shock.

"Someone once told me when you meet the right one you just know," Jeff said. "It took us awhile to realize we had met the right one, but once we did we didn't see any reason to waste any time."

"You're only twenty," Lita said to her cousin.

"My mom was eighteen," Dallas responded.

"Congratulations you two," HHH said, grinning. "I am partial to spur-of-the-moment weddings myself."

"Hunter!" Stephanie exclaimed, blushing faintly.

Jericho grinned, "I like secretive ones."

"Okay, you two can shut up," Stephanie said.

"You beat me to it," Lita said. "I'm the one who's engaged and you beat me to it!"

"Sorry," Dallas said, "Didn't mean to steal your thunder or anything."

"I didn't mean it like that!" Lita exclaimed. "I love you both. If you are happy, then I'm happy."

"Thank you," Jeff said. "Matt?"

"Jeff?" Matt asked, obviously in shock.

"Do you have anything to say to me?" Jeff asked.

"I don't know," Matt said.

Meredith elbowed her boyfriend. "What my ape of a significant other means to say is congratulations and we're sure you two will be very happy together."

"Thank you!" Dallas said, grinning.

"Are you pregnant?" Shane asked.

"Shane!" everyone else in the room exclaimed.

"I was just curious," Shane said defensively.

"No," Dallas said, "I'm not. Yet."

"Dallas!" Jeff exclaimed.

"You let me go on and on Jeff Hardy!" Madison finally exclaimed. "And you two were married the entire time."

"What?" Dallas asked.

"Mad and I were having a conversation about what she wanted to know about her younger sister's love life," Jeff explained. "She said she didn't want to know much until you were married."

"I can't believe you are married," Madison said. "I'm happy for you. But it is a little unbelievable."

"Yeah," Lita agreed. "I can't believe I wasn't there."

"I'm his brother," Matt said. "And he doesn't ask me to be his best man."

"And she's my sister," Madison pointed out.

"I told you they would be upset," Dallas said, turning to her new husband.

"They will just have to deal with it," Jeff said.

"You're right," Dallas agreed.

"Alright," Jeff said. "I have to get ready for my match. Everyone out!"

Awhile later, Dallas sat on the couch, wrapped in Jeff's arms. "I love you," Jeff said.

"I love you too," Dallas said. "You sure you want to go back so soon."

"Wrestlemania is this weekend," Jeff said. "Matt and I are going after the Tag Titles. I need to get in the ring now or I won't be ready for Sunday."

"I know," Dallas said. "I just worry about you."

"Why would you worry about me?" Jeff asked. "I am truly blessed. I haven't killed myself yet and I managed to get you somehow."

Dallas giggled, "You are pretty lucky."

"What's your match for Wrestlemania?" Jeff asked, pulling her closer.

"I'm facing Lita for the Women's Title," Dallas said, leaning her head on Jeff's shoulder. "Mer is going to be in my corner."

"What about your sister?" Jeff asked.

"She doesn't have a match yet," Dallas said. "But she's ambitious."

"She looks like she's gained some weight back," Jeff commented. "Now, tell me the whole story."

"The whole story?" Dallas asked.

"About Mad's baby," Jeff said. "You said she was pregnant before."

"Oh yeah," Dallas said. "Has she ever told you about Mike?"

"She said he was her best friend before they started going out," Jeff said. "Before he broke her heart."

"It was her last year of college," Dallas said. "And her and Mike had been going out for almost two years. She got pregnant. She was going to his apartment to tell him and she used her key to just go in. He was sleeping with her roommate from her first year in college."

"Wow," Jeff said.

"She was devastated," Dallas said. "About a month later, I was at a party and I called my parents to come pick me up. They had been at dinner so they al just came to pick me up. They got hit by a drunk driver."

"Oh Dal," Jeff whispered.

"My parents died and Mad miscarried her baby," Dallas said. "The driver broke their arm. They are in jail on three counts of vehicular manslaughter."

"Are you okay?" Jeff asked.

"I wasn't then," Dallas said. "But Mad helped me realize that it wasn't my fault."

"She's right," Jeff said, lightly kissing her lips.

"I know," Dallas said.

"Alright Mrs. Hardy," Jeff said. "It's time to go to work."

"Time to kick butt," Dallas agreed.
