A/N: I apologize for the lack of updates on this story and all my others.
It's been hard to get these out of my head. I think I'm just thinking bout
too many things. Getting to Louisville, getting a car, getting a job,
going to JCC in the fall, etc. It's all just clouding up my head. But I
am trying my hardest. I hope ya'll are enjoying The Mysterious One. If ya
haven't read it, please go check it out. That seems to be the only story
that's coming fairly easy to me. And I'm really shocked by your reviews.
It seems the majority of you want Casey to get back with Jeff. That's very
interesting. Lol Oh, and here's some like irony for ya. I have some of
one of the last chapters done already. But I can't write these chapters.
Lol And let me tell you, it's REALLY good. lol Well, I'm on my way to NY
so I wanted to get this out. It's not what I would have liked it to be,
but it'll do. I'll be back Sunday nite so I'll be writing while I'm gone.
I'm thinking this story only has a few more chapters left. I'm guessing 5-
10, give or take a chapter or two. Lol Anyways, here's the next chapter.
***************
Shane smiled at me as I walked towards him in the bedroom. He sat on the edge of the bed with his hands resting on his knees. "Well?" he asked hopefully.
I shook my head. "No." He wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his head on my stomach and sighed. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be. We just keep trying. It's only been 2 months since we started anyways. Besides, I'm having a good time," he laughed trying to lighten the mood.
"You don't think we're failing because of me losing Rune, do you?" I questioned.
"I don't know. Maybe. I'm no doctor Case. But I doubt that's the reason. Maybe we should get you checked out. If that would make you feel better, that is," he replied.
"No, I don't want to do that. Not yet anyways," I sighed.
"Let's get some sleep. We've got a long flight in the morning."
"Can we just have sex first?"
"Baby, you don't ever have to ask that question," he grinned throwing me on the bed.
**********
"So, any luck?" I asked as I walked to Trish's seat on the plane.
"Nope, not yet. You?"
"Nothing. God, what's wrong with us?"
"I've been wondering the same thing. Cause I don't know whether this is my fault or if maybe he's shooting blanks, ya know?"
"Yeah, I don't think that's it in our case," I nodded towards Shane.
"I have an appointment with a doctor when we get back from England," she sighed.
"You don't sound too happy bout that."
"Well I'm just scared they'll find something wrong with me. What if for whatever reason I can't have kids?"
"I know the feeling. Shane suggested that I go to a doctor but I said no. I think that would just make me feel worse."
"Right, there's like no way to get through all this. It's like you just have to keep trying and if you fail and fail over and over again, than so be it. But the more we try and the more we fail, the more upset I get."
"Ma'am, could you please return to your seat. We're about ready land," the stewardess requested as she tapped my shoulder. I nodded and moved back to my seat next to Shane.
"So?" Shane asked as I fastened my seat belt.
"She's coming up, um, empty, just like we are," I sighed.
"Wow, we just can't get a break here can we?"
"Doesn't seem that way," I shook my head as the plane landed.
Being that our show would be starting about 3 hours after we had landed, everyone rushed to their hotels and dropped off their stuff before heading straight to the arena.

"The fallowing match is a tag match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Cameron, North Carolina, Jeff Hardy and Mystic Angel!" I jumped up and down as we walked towards the ring, trying to get the full arena amped up for the match. Jeff and I ran down the sides and slapped the fans' hands. Sliding in opposite sides of the ring, we met in the middle and just gave each other a little peck on the lips. We each took a post and motioned for everyone to stand up. "And their opponents, Trish Stratus and Randy Orton!" They didn't waste any time running to the ring. Once inside Jeff was knocked down by Randy and I had Trish in a front headlock. The ref broke up Jeff and Randy, leaving Trish and I in the ring. She fought her way up and elbowed me in the stomach. I let her go and she bounced off the ropes. I dropped to the mat and leaped over me. She ran back to me and threw her down in a tilt-a-whirl slam. I tried for a quick cover but she kicked out. I pulled her up and performed a snap suplex, and a back flip. I tried for another cover but she kicked out. Frustrated, I pulled her up and whipped her into the ropes. I tried a drop kick, but she held onto the ropes. She quickly jumped on me and started pounding on my face. She whipped me into the corner and Randy did a blind tag. She held me so my side was vulnerable. He punched my side and suplexed me. He put me in an arm bar and I cried out in pain.
"ASK HER!" Randy yelled at the ref. I shook my head and kept screaming no in response to the ref's questions. Somehow I pushed my self into a bridge and rolled myself onto Randy. He let go of my arm and I let loose a fury of punches to his fine chiseled face. I stood and tried to get to Jeff to tag him in, but Randy grabbed my ankle and I landed face down on the mat. I grabbed my jaw as Randy started pulling me towards the middle of the ring. I rolled over and kicked him as hard as possible. He was taken aback and I started crawling for Jeff. Randy raced over to me and picked me up around the waist and threw me face down on the mat. He rolled me over and tried for the pin but I kicked out. I took a deep breath as he pulled me up by my hair. He whipped me into the corner and set me up on the post. He tagged in Trish and she gave me a demonic grin before using her Stratusphere. She covered me and Jeff started to get into the ring, but Randy had jumped in and knocked him over the ropes, causing a brawl to break out outside the ring. The bell sounded and Evolution's music started, sounding the end of the match.
"And here are your winners, Trish Status and Randy Orton!" Trish jumped up in excitement and Randy slid into the ring to congratulate her. I crawled to the ropes and rolled under them. Jeff was lying on the floor holding the back of his head and fell down next to him. I helped him up and walked to the back.
"You alright?" I asked concerned.
"Yeah, you thought I was actually hurt?" he questioned with a grin.
"I'm never worrying about you again," I said nailing him in the stomach.
"I hear you and Shane are trying to start a family."
"Yeah, although it wasn't really meant to be a secret."
"Well that's cool. Good luck with that," he smiled and kissed my cheek.
"Hey Jeff," I called to him. He turned around and threw me a water bottle. "Thanks, but um, you goin to Matt and Amy's Christmas party when we get home?"
"Of course! I wouldn't miss it for the world!" he laughed. "See you tomorrow babe!" I waved to him and walked to the locker room.
"Hey Case," John smiled as he stopped me in the hall.
"Hey John, what's up?" I said reaching up to give him a hug.
"Well, I have some news and I wanted you to be the first of my friends to know," he replied.
"Well you certainly have my attention. What's your news?"
"I'm getting married."
"YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED?" I yelled as my eyes popped out and my jaw dropped to the floor.
"Yeah, shocking?"
"Oh hell yeah!" I replied. He laughed at me and I shook my head. "I mean congratulations."
"Thanks. I just had to tell you."
"Well, I know you'll be happy. I mean look at me. I'm very happily married."
"I know you are. And I think you're the reason I proposed."
"Me?"
"Yeah, I mean when you got married I thought you had made the biggest mistake of your life. But then I saw how happy you truly were and realized that I wanted that too. So thank you for making me see the light."
"Your welcome, I think," I smiled.
"Well, I have a match to get to so I'll see you later," he said before leaning down to kiss my cheek. He ran down the hall and I shook my head at him.
**************
Shane stood in the middle of Matt's living room dancing wildly to whatever music was currently playing. Matt and Amy's Christmas party was definitely a blast and probably one of the best parties I had been to in a long time. The song ended and Shane and I decided it'd be a good idea to take a break from the dancing, so we found Matt, Shannon, and Jeff in the kitchen talking.
"Cookie?" Shannon offered pushing the plate of chocolate chip cookies towards me.
I made a face and grabbed my stomach. "No thank you. I haven't been feeling too well this week. And chocolate just seems to make me feel worse," I replied.
"Oh really now?" Matt grinned smartly as he crossed his arms.
"Oh don't give me that look. I'm not what you think I am," I shook my head. "Oh God, do I smell bananas?"
"Yeah, they're over there," Matt laughed pointing to the dinning room table. I crunched up my nose in disgust.
"I know you can smell bananas when someone is like 50 miles away cause of your hate for them, but that's a little ridiculous. They're not open what so ever!" Jeff laughed.
"Yeah, but I can smell them right now," I said. "And that mixing with the chocolate chips is just not a good combination. I'm getting out of here." I kissed Shane's cheek and left the room.
"Sounds like you got a bun in the oven buddy," Jeff smiled.
"I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm just not sure we're capable of having kids. 2 months and we've come up empty handed?" Shane sighed.
"It takes time man," Shannon smiled.
"Yeah, says the man who's expecting his second child," Shane laughed.
"What can I say?" Shannon shrugged his shoulders.
"I really would have her get tested. Because I know when Amy got pregnant she couldn't be around Ranch salad dressing or bacon," Matt said.
"Yeah, I suppose I should suggest it to her."
"And then talk to Vince about getting her cut out of storylines. So this way nothing happens to her or the baby, like last time," Jeff said. The boys nodded in agreement and Shane took a deep breath.
************
"Well, Chad and I are officially pregnant!" Trish exclaimed as she burst into the locker room. I jumped up and hugged her.
"That's great Trish!" I smiled.
"So? Any good news?" Trish wondered.
"No, we thought at Christmas that I might be, but I took a test and it came up negative," I sighed sadly.
"It'll happen."
"I hope so cause I feel really bad for Shane. He gets so excited and then I have to let him down."
"He knows this is how things happen. It just takes time."
"I know, but I think it's just taking too much time."
"Jeff's match is up next!" Amy yelled to us as she popped her head into the locker room. Nichole laughed as Amy bounced her up and down.
"Did he tell you if he wins or not?" Trish asked as we walked towards catering to watch the match.
"No, I'm really hoping though. He does deserve it," I replied. "I just don't think Vince will give him the chance. I have a strong feeling that Jeff's not winning the Undisputed Title tonite." I shook my head as we sat at a large round table. Nichole reached out for her uncle who was quickly moving around the screen, escaping Matt Morgan's advances. Matt got a lucky shot in and quickly picked Jeff up and threw him over the ropes in a powerbomb style. Jeff's head bounced off the floor and we all gasped in horror as Jeff stopped moving. Nichole started crying as we watched refs and paramedics run down to Jeff. Matt stood in the ring watching, a shocked expression on his face.
"Hold Nichole for me?" Amy asked Trish. She nodded and Amy and I took off for the gorilla position.
"Did you see what just happened?" Shannon asked worriedly.
"Is he okay?" I questioned.
"It wasn't planned. So I don't think he's in the best shape right now," Shannon shook his head as he wrapped his arm around my waist. We waited and soon the paramedics were carrying Jeff on a stretcher.
"Jeff?" I questioned.
"Hey babe," he smiled in pain.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"No, not this time. I can't move. I can't feel my legs. My hands are tingling. Case, I'm scared," he said as I watched him being rushed down the hall.
"He can't move," I cried.
"Come on, let's get to the hospital," Shannon said taking my hand. I nodded as we ran down the hall.
"I'll grab your stuff and Shane, Matt, and I will be there in a bit!" Amy called after us.
Shannon and I followed the ambulance all the way to the hospital. They wasted no time in bringing Jeff in. Shannon and I waited in the waiting room, hoping it wouldn't take long for the doctors to give us some information.
About 2 hours later, we were still waiting for some information, Matt was asking the nurses constantly, but came up empty everytime. I had cried myself to sleep in Shane's lap, but suddenly woke up running for the bathroom. Shane gave Amy a sideways glance and she handed Shannon the fussy brunette.
"Casey?" Amy questioned as she walked into the bathroom.
"I feel like crap," I cried as I walked out of a stall. I put my hands on the sink and looked into the mirror. My face was pale and my eyes were blood shot. I rinsed my mouth out and looked at her.
"Nerves about Jeff?" Amy wondered.
"I don't know. I have a feeling that Jeff is alright. So I don't think that's it. Have you heard anything about a stomach flu goin around?"
"No, sorry."
"What the hell is wrong with me?"
"I have one idea," she smiled. "There's a RiteAid next door. Want me to run down there?"
"Yeah, I'll wait here." She nodded and ran out. About 15 minutes later she was back, the test had been taken, and we were sitting on the counter waiting for the results.
"Nervous?" she asked.
"Like you wouldn't believe," I laughed as someone knocked on the door. Amy slid off the counter and let in Shane.
"What's goin on?" he asked giving me a much needed kiss. He put his hands on either side of me on the counter as he stepped in between my legs.
"I think I'm pregnant," I replied.
"Really?!" he exclaimed pulling me off the counter and swinging me around in a circle. I laughed as I wrapped my legs around his waist. He kissed me passionately and Amy laughed.
"Ya know, that's how this whole mess began," she smirked.
"Yeah, no kidding," Shane said wiggling his eyebrows. Amy looked at her watch and motioned to the test strip. Shane and I took similar deep breaths as he carried me over to the strip. The three of us looked down at the very clear response. Shane and I looked at each other, large smiles on our faces. My chin began to quiver as tears trickled down my face. "We're having a baby," he breathed.
"We're having a baby," I said loudly.
"WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!" Shane yelled as a nurse burst into the bathroom.
"You are in an emergency room. Keep it down please. And sir you should not be in the women's bathroom," she reprimanded us. We nodded at her and she left.
"We're having a baby!" I said as Shane pulled me into his body. He held me to him tightly as the three of us walked out to the waiting room.
"What's goin on?" Matt asked as Amy walked to him with a smile on her face. She reached up and placed a kiss on his lips, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"We're having a baby," Shane answered happily as I slid down to the floor. Shannon jumped up and swung me around. He bent down and kissed my stomach, rubbing it gently.
"We knew it!" Matt laughed hugging Shane brotherly. He looked at me and kissed my cheek. "Congratulations kiddo."
"Thanks Matty," I laughed as Jeff's doctor approached us.
"Matt Hardy?" he asked.
"That's me," Matt stepped up to shake the doctor's hand. "How's my brother?"
"Well, he had an extreme blow to the back of his head and his back. But he's regained feeling in his arms and legs just recently. He has a minor concussion, which is amazing. And his back is bruised."
"But he can move?" Shannon asked.
"Oh yes, he can move now," the doctor smiled.
"Oh thank God," I said with a sigh of relief.
"You can go in and see him," the doctor said leading us to the room. Jeff was sitting up in the bed with his arms crossed, looking extremely bored.
"Hey ya'll," he smiled as we walked in.
"Damn you gave us such a scare little brother," Matt hugged him.
"I try my best," Jeff joked.
"Well don't do it again!" I said slapping his leg.
"So what was it? Just a stinger?" Shannon questioned.
"Yeah, I'm assuming. I'll be back to work in 2 weeks," Jeff replied. "I heard that there was a ruckus in the women's bathroom just a few minutes ago. What was goin on?"
"That would be our fault," I laughed as Shane wrapped his arm around me.
"Uh-oh," Jeff shook his head.
"Case and I are going to have a baby," Shane said.
"No way! I thought the tests came up negative," Jeff smiled.
"Yeah, well, they were like defective or something, cause I just took one and it came up positive," I laughed.
"Congratulations. I'm very happy for you two," he said.
"Thank you," I smiled kissing his cheek.
"You'll be great parents." I looked up at Shane and we smiled at each other.

"Yeah, no kidding," Shane said wiggling his eyebrows. Amy looked at her watch and motioned to the test strip. Shane and I took similar deep breaths as he carried me over to the strip. The three of us looked down at the very clear response. Shane and I looked at each other, large smiles on our faces. My chin began to quiver as tears trickled down my face. "We're having a baby," he breathed.
"We're having a baby," I said loudly.
"WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!" Shane yelled as a nurse burst into the bathroom.
"You are in an emergency room. Keep it down please. And sir you should not be in the women's bathroom," she reprimanded us. We nodded at her and she left.
"We're having a baby!" I said as Shane pulled me into his body. He held me to him tightly as the three of us walked out to the waiting room.
"What's goin on?" Matt asked as Amy walked to him with a smile on her face. She reached up and placed a kiss on his lips, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"We're having a baby," Shane answered happily as I slid down to the floor. Shannon jumped up and swung me around. He bent down and kissed my stomach, rubbing it gently.
"We knew it!" Matt laughed hugging Shane brotherly. He looked at me and kissed my cheek. "Congratulations kiddo."
"Thanks Matty," I laughed as Jeff's doctor approached us.
"Matt Hardy?" he asked.
"That's me," Matt stepped up to shake the doctor's hand. "How's my brother?"
"Well, he had an extreme blow to the back of his head and his back. But he's regained feeling in his arms and legs just recently. He has a minor concussion, which is amazing. And his back is bruised."
"But he can move?" Shannon asked.
"Oh yes, he can move now," the doctor smiled.
"Oh thank God," I said with a sigh of relief.
"You can go in and see him," the doctor said leading us to the room. Jeff was sitting up in the bed with his arms crossed, looking extremely bored.
"Hey ya'll," he smiled as we walked in.
"Damn you gave us such a scare little brother," Matt hugged him.
"I try my best," Jeff joked.
"Well don't do it again!" I said slapping his leg.
"So what was it? Just a stinger?" Shannon questioned.
"Yeah, I'm assuming. I'll be back to work in 2 weeks," Jeff replied. "I heard that there was a ruckus in the women's bathroom just a few minutes ago. What was goin on?"
"That would be our fault," I laughed as Shane wrapped his arm around me.
"Uh-oh," Jeff shook his head.
"Case and I are going to have a baby," Shane said.
"No way! I thought the tests came up negative," Jeff smiled.
"Yeah, well, they were like defective or something, cause I just took one and it came up positive," I laughed.
"Congratulations. I'm very happy for you two," he said.
"Thank you," I smiled kissing his cheek.
"You'll be great parents." I looked up at Shane and we smiled at each other.
