"damn it! Shane! I'm talking to you" she yelled into the phone.
"Look babe I'll just be a second" Shane said into the cell phone glancing around the room. Shane motioned to the boys sitting around the room and picked up his cell phone and walked out of the room. Shane placed the phone to his ear.
" What do you need honey?" Shane asked.
"Don't Honey me Gregory Shane Helms!" when are you coming home?" She demanded.
" Jesus! Jo it's only midnight, me and the boys are hanging out." Shane shouted at her.
"Shane is it so much to ask that you come home at a decent time?" she yelled, " you wanted a girl to take care of you. I do, You wanted a girl to take care of your house. I do. You wanted a baby. I gave you two. You wanted more I gave you two more. You wanted space! I gave it to you! But right now I need something from you. I need you to come home and be a dad. " she yelled as her voice began to crack. Tears streaming down her face. Shane sighed and hung his head.
" Joplin, take a deep breath, what's wrong?" Shane asked starting to get worried.
"Nero is throwing up. Matt's burning up. Brayden won't stop crying," Her voice cracked. "I can't handle it Greg! I need you!" she pleaded with him. Shane shook his head,
"What's Trent doing?" Shane asked worried.
"Trent's watching a movie in the den." Joplin's voice calmed. Shane took a deep breath,
"I'll be home in thirty minutes." he told her hanging up. Shane opened the back door and stepped back into the kitchen. Walking towards the living room he cleared his throat. "Boys I need a favor." Shane asked leaning over the island.
"Sure Anything," Jeff told him, looking at Matt and Shannon.
"the boys are Sick and Jo needs major help. You guys up for it?" Matt look at the others,
"Sure, that's what Godfathers are for." Matt glanced around the room surveying the damage. Not to bad he thought. "Amies" he called up the stairs.
"what?" Amy called down.
" Can you drive us over to Shane's house?" matt asked. Amy walked down the stairs surveying the men in the room.
"Come on Boys Lets go." she said grabbing her keys off a table. "So why we going to your house," Amy asked Shane.
"The boys are sick, Jo needs help so, were going to help." Shane told her playing with his phone.
Amy just laughed and walked out the door to the Suburban. The follow out behind her. Amy smiled as the boys got into the car. Matt in the passenger seat. Shane and Shannon and Jeff scrunched into the backseat. "you boys know there's another seat back there." Amy said with a giggle in her voice
"No time Amy! Drive!!!" Shane told her urgency in his voice.
*20 Minutes Later*
" Come on" Shane said getting out of the car. Running up to the door, he grabbed the knob trying to open the door. He pounded his head into the door, Ringing the doorbell.
"Who is it?' a little voice came through the door.
"Trent it's daddy Open the door." Shane told the boy and an instant later the door was opened. Shane walked in and picked up the little boy.
" Where's Mommy?" Shane questioned
"Your Room, Uncle Jefffff!" the little boy told Shane. Shane smiled and handed the 3 year old to Jeff. Amy followed Shane into their room. Amy sighed as she walked into the master bed room to see the huge bathroom lit upon beyond belief. Brayden was set in his swing, Matt was laying in the Jacuzzi tub, Nero was laying on the chaise lounge pulled next to the toilet with a blanket covering him. Shane walked over to the tub, placing his hands on her shoulders.
"How's it going Matty?" Shane asked the little boy in the tub. He sighed feeling the boy's head, he looked down at Joplin her head leaning against his chest.
" His fever won't break from 104º , he started throwing up and Nero's fever is at 103º and he's still throwing up." She told him her voice tired. Shane sighed looking around his bathroom. Nero wriggling around in a heap of blankets his brown hair matted to his fore head, Matt's hair matted around his head, eyes shut.
"you go call the doctor I'll stay here with the boys." Shane told her. Kissing her forehead. Joplin stood up, she smiled seeing Amy standing at the door.
" Hey Amy, just another day as a mom. Can ya wait?" Jo asked patting Amy's bulge. Amy just smiled.
" Do you mind, " Amy asking Nodding towards Brayden.
"Sure he's already been feed, go ahead." Joplin told the mother to be. Amy smiled picking up the 7 month old up from the swing. Amy smiled holding the baby close to her body. Matt smiled watching his wife.

Amy Christine Dumas do you take this man, Matthew Moore Hardy to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward. For richer and for poorer For better or for worse, in sickness and in heath, til death do us part.
By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife you may kiss the bride. And the church erupts into applause. Matt kissed Amy with all of the passion he could muster.
1 Month later-
"Matt I'm late," Amy called down the stairs Wednesday morning.
"No your not your not meeting Trish til 10:30 it's only 9," Matt shouted back up the stairs from the kitchen. Amy walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"No Matt, I'm two weeks LATE" Amy told him from her place on the stairs. Matt looked up at her,
" But, Your on the pill." matt looked at her confused.
"the pill doesn't always work Matt." Amy told him walking over to him tears forming in her eyes. Matt pulled her into his arms, kissing her head. He pulled away when she began to calm down. " I'm going to run up to the store and get a test just relax," Matt said gabbing his keys off the hook.
30 minutes later
Matt stood his arms wrapped around Amy waiting for the results to show up. The test sitting on the bathroom counter.
"Times up, babe" Matt whispered into Amy's ear. Amy smiled and walked over to the counter clutching matt's hand. Amy picked up the test.
" It's got a pink line." Amy told him. Matt picked up the box scanning the back.
"Pinks Positive" Matt told her, he swooped her up into his arms. " Were having a baby." He told her kissing her. " I know this is way earlier than I planned but it'll work out. We'll talk to Vince, you'll see. We can still be parents and wrestle. I promise darlin." Matt told her holding her close.

Matt watched as Amy followed Jo out the door. Matt made his way over to Nero, he wrapped the boy back up in blankets. Pulling him into his arms. "How ya feeling Nero?" Matt asked the little boy sitting down on the lounge.
"Icky, I hurt," the 4 year old told him. Matt sighed and rocked the boy gently.
-The Den-
"Hey boys what we watching?" Jo asked as she picked up the phone.
"Nemo!!" Trent shouted from his spot on the floor. Amy smiled sitting down on the couch with the baby cradled in her arms. Jo dialed the phone and walked into the other room. About three minutes later, Jo walked back into the room. " Jeff, Amy can I ask you guys for another favor." Jo asked.
"Sure what's up?" Jeff asked.
" Jo took a deep breath, " Jeff do you think you and Trish could watch Trent for the night." She asked
"Sure, not a problem we'll go pack, " Jeff said walking over to Trent. Jo looked over at Amy. Amy grinned at Jo "Don't worry my and Matt would be happy to watch Brayden." Jo gave Amy a sad smile and hugged her.
"Thank you so much I don't know how I would survive without your help," Jo told her with a hug, "Me and Shane have to get the boys to the Doctor's Office," Jo told her heading back towards their room. On the way Jo stopped in Trent's room, " How's it going in here boys?"
"Me and Uncle Shannon and Uncle Jeff are packing and I'm going spend the night with Uncle Jeff and Aunt Trish." Trent told her jumping on the bed!
"That's great Baby, Be good for Aunt Trish and Uncle Jeff. Me and daddy will pick you up tomorrow." She told him enveloping him in a hug and a kiss. On her way out she stopped in each the twins rooms and picked out two fresh pairs of jammies and shoes. She walked across the hall and back into her and Shane's bedroom. "Boy's can you change these guys into fresh jammies and get there shoes on?" she asked hand each one the fresh clothes. "thanks boys she said as she walked out. Leading Amy into the nursery. " SO Amies how you been feeling?" Jo asked her
"Alright lots of morning sickness, and cravings. but matt's been great." Amy told her sitting down in the Rocker.
Jo Laughed " It will get better, it just takes awhile." Jo told her fixing up a bag
*Doctor's office*
Shane sighed the opening up the door as Jo walked in Matt in her arms, Shane rearranged Nero in his arms and walked in. they left 40 minutes later with 2 prescriptions in hand
Next Morning
Shane woke up to an empty bed, and the smell of bacon and omelets. Shane sat up pulling on a tee shirt and a pair of Jeans. He walked into the den to see the whole group in his living room.
"Nice to see you woke up," Jeff said shoveling a piece of omelets into his mouth.
"Shane, me and girls are gong to go get some breakfast, yours is on the stove, the boys are sleeping Trent's playing in his room and Brayden is asleep in the playpen." Jo told him walking out the front door.

" Hey Jo do you ever regret giving up everything for Shane?" Amy asked reading the menu.
Jo looked across the table a sad smile on her face…
