Disclaimer: Ownership of the WWE superstars in this story is purely
fictional. I am using them to make the story that much better. I own Summer
Ryan Hardy and Amanda from my other story and that is it. Everyone else as
I said is perfectly fictional and they own themselves. It is for the
greater good. But hell, if any of the superstars would like me to own them,
well come on down!
A/N: I heard that hook up loud and clear Lisa, LOL and it's something that might happen, but at this point I am focused on another path this one has to take. Happiness is always around the bend though, so look out for it. Now on another note, that story that a couple of you reviewed called Something More was pulled down from fan fiction by me, for reasons that I had another direction I wanted it to go and it's not a Hardy fiction this time. So look for that updated on the weekend with a new cast and characters and such. I just wanted to thank those of you that did review for doing so because it meant a lot and look out for the revamped version.

"Well will wonders never cease? Look who comes home!" Gil exclaimed the minute Summer, Jeff, Matt and Amy walked through the door. Summer wasn't sure who the comment was geared toward so she just smiled and accepted the hug that Gil was happy to hand out to her.
"Who do you mean Dad?" Matt asked, making it easy for Summer to get her answer without having to do much asking.
"I meant Summer but you know what boy? I never see you anymore either, which is a damn shame considering I am your daddy and all."
"Well we are all here now so that's all that matters right?" Matt said, blushing a shade of deep red at having been called out by his own father for not coming around more often.
"Well that is true, so why don't you all come into the kitchen and we can have some coffee or tea or that herbal concoction that Summer so richly enjoys."
Everyone laughed at Gil and they all made their way into the kitchen and sat down, surrounding the table. Jeff made sure that Summer sat as close to him as possible so that he could hold her hand and make sure she was real and there with him.
Ever since she had shown up at home and stayed he was always worried that at a moments notice she would get up and leaves and never come back. He didn't want to tell her that he was scared of that, so he kept quiet and just became as clingy as he could.
"Jeff a package came here the other day that wouldn't fit in your P.O. Box, so I put it in your old room. You might want to go check it ain't a bomb or something. Oh and take your brother with you, I want to have a few words with Summer."
Jeff threw Summer a look of concern which she quickly shrugged off. Nodding her head in the direction of the room, she watched him intently as he stood and Matt and Amy quickly followed. It seemed that both boys still listened a great deal to their father and it was a quality that Summer admired.
"So why don't you tell me what's been going on?"
"What do you mean Gil?"
"Well you went back to the WWE and I wondered how that was going."
Summer silently breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't sure how much he actually suspected about the state of his son's marriage to her and she wasn't sure she was all that ready to talk about it with him, so knowing he wanted to know about her career only made her that much happier.
"I am teamed with Shane and Shannon in this whole new Team Extreme thing, and to tell you the truth it's been a pretty fun ride thus far. I remember what it was like when I was there a few years ago and it hasn't changed all that much but the vibe I get from being out there now is something I never had before."
"How is Shane dealing with the loss of his girlfriend?"
"He is doing it day to day from what I gather. We became pretty fast friends again when he came back and working with him has opened up my mind so much. I know that Hayley dying hit him really hard and it took him a very long time to come to terms with it, if he even has but in terms of business he is all about it right now. It makes things good between us."
"You have a lot of respect for that boy don't you?"
"I do. To be honest he's my best friend in the entire world next to Jeff and I don't think there is anything that we can't discuss and have it be alright."
Gil threw her a look of concern and then just as quickly changed it and smiled lightly. There was obviously something going through his mind at the mere mention of Shane but he didn't want to get into it.
"Gil what is it?"
"What do you mean dear?"
"When I mentioned being friends with Shane you threw me a look like there was something on your mind. You mind telling me what that would be?"
"I get the feeling there is more to this then what you are telling me is all Summer. I know you love my son, I was there for the whole love story and we talked a great deal but when you talk about Shane, something in your eyes shows. I hate to say this because I don't know what's going on but you might need to talk to Shane about this."
"What do you mean?"
"Does he have a thing for you?"
"No of course not. He knows I am married to Jeff and although things were hard there for awhile he knows I am happy with Jeff and that no one could replace that."
"Then why do I get the feeling something has already gone down between the two of you?"
"I have no clue Gil."
***************************************************
"So what do you think Dad needed to talk to Summer about that we all had to leave the room?" Matt asked as they had gotten to the top of the stairs and to the bedroom where the package was.
"I don't know but I would kill to be a fly on that wall."
"Jeff, how much does your dad know about Summer and the divorce?"
"He shouldn't know anything at all since I kept my mouth shut most of the time when I came around. He got pieces of problems but never anything close to the divorce."
"I think I know what he's talking about with her." Amy stated, bowing her head in complete shame. She knew she had done the wrong thing coming over here and talking to Gil about her issues with Matt when Summer came up in them. Now he knew everything and Summer was going to be on the receiving end of some long talks.
"What do you mean Amy? How do you know?"
"I came here the other day to talk to Gil. I brought up some of my own issues but Summer's name came up in them too. I didn't think anything of it until now."
"How much did you tell my father Amy?"
"I told him about Shane and about how close the two of them actually were. I told him about her return to the ring and you're separate return and I told him about the divorce. I said I didn't want to marry Matt ever if we ended up like the two of you. He asked me what I meant and it all came out."
Jeff stood against the wall in complete shock. He had tried to keep his problems with Summer as low key as possible because he didn't want to jinx the two of them getting back together which they were at that moment in time. If what Amy said was true then his dad was down there right now giving her the third degree on something he didn't know anything about.
Before Jeff could react to what Amy had told him, Matt came to his defense.
"Amy how the hell could you do this?"
"I didn't know Matt, I just needed someone to talk too and Summer is in her own issues right now and I just didn't know who else to turn too."
"Well how about talking to me about them once in awhile?"
"I couldn't talk to you. You were too busy wanting to interfere in their relationship!" Amy yelled pointing a finger in Jeff's direction.
"You didn't stick around long enough for me to tell you why I wanted to do that did you? Amy I know you think you did the right thing by this but you didn't. Summer came home to Jeff, they are closer then ever before now, and you just sent her to the wolves. Have you ever been on the receiving end of one of my father's talks?"
"No." She said in barely a whisper.
"Then from now on just stay out of it. Jeff go down and check on your wife and make sure he's not ripping her head off for this whole Shane mess, and I will check out what's in the box."
Jeff, not wanting to stick around to hear Matt lash out at his girlfriend anymore took the stairs two at a time. Matt had a point about their father and the talks he used to have with them and with as much as he loved them they always came out wrong. He just hoped the same thing wasn't happening with Summer right now.
**********************************************
"So what's in the box?" Amy said peering over the side trying to catch a glimpse of what Matt was trying to hide.
"Something that Jeff and Summer aren't going to like very much. It's from Trish."
"What do you mean it's from Trish?"
"Remember that storyline a long time ago where the two of them were together? Well apparently from the looks of it, they were closer then we all thought they were. This is all the stuff Jeff gave her, songs he wrote for her."
"He wrote her songs?"
"From the looks of it yes."
"Well what are you going to do about this now?"
"We have to tell Jeff that we know and what this stuff really is. I know Summer mentioned something about Trish saying something to her the other day that threw her off guard, and I think this might just be it."
"What might just be it?"
"I think Trish, knowing about their issues is staking a claim back in his life. I think Amy that she might want to get Jeff back."
