Author's notes: Thank you once again to Lady Charlotte. And of course
Emmasj, don't worry I haven't killed young Nero. He's just injured.
Gilbert Hardy wasn't anywhere near as striking as his two sons but when he showed up in the waiting room there was no mistaking him with anyone but their father. Shannon rushed up to him and hugged him. "Papa Gil you have to find out what's going on with Jeff the nurses won't tell us anything. Please find out we've been waiting so long." He pleaded.
"Don't worry Shannon I will find out what is wrong with my son. Now where is Matt?" He asked after pulling away from the young man. All he received in response was awkward stares from everyone in the room and the shuffling of feet as Shane tried not to respond. Gilbert turned his eyes towards him. "Shane tell me."
Shane blushed. "Well Sir. You see Matt hasn't exactly been friendly with Jeff lately. In fact whenever Jeff calls to talk to him Matt hangs up on him." Shane blurted out quickly.
"It seems my oldest boy's ego has gotten to big for his head. I'll deal with that later. At the moment I'll check Jeff's condition with the Doctor then you and Shannon could introduce everyone to me." He addressed Shane before going over to the nurse's station. He spoke with a nurse for about 2 minutes before being led from the room.

Meanwhile Glenn was practically running through the hospital looking for Sean. He had been searching for twenty minutes and had seen nothing of his love. Finally he came upon the chapel and peeked in seeing no one in there but a curly, black haired beauty sitting in the first pew crying.
Sean was consumed by his thoughts and the feeling of guilt that settled heavy in his heart. He turned after hearing something and saw his boyfriend standing there. "Oh it's you," He muttered softly before turning away.
"Oh it's you? You claim to love me but yet you ignore me completely when I come to comfort you. Why is that Sean? Why must you push away everyone that loves you and cares for you? You're not being fair to yourself or anyone else this needs to stop love." Glenn spoke eloquently and with conviction not what you would expect from a wrestler.
Tears were running down Sean's cheeks unchecked as he looked up at Glenn. "Don't you see it? I am not meant to be loved by anyone Glenn. Bad things come to those who love me. Shawn breaks his back, then Owen dies, Paul tears his quad, Scotty hurts himself, Kevin tears his quad and now this with Jeff. I can't take it anymore so many people get hurt. I just don't know what to do." He cast a pleading look upon Glenn.
"None of those things were your fault Shawn you have no control over what happens to the people around you. You can't stop their pain but you can help ease it by being there for them. Who told you that you were the one that caused everyone's pain? Who kept you from reaching out for love when you needed it? Tell me Sean please, if I know then I can help you." Glenn sat next to Sean and waited patiently for his answer.
Sean seemed lost in memory as he tried to form a response. "It all started back in WCW I became convinced that the only way to get to the top was to offer myself to the powers above ya know? Lucky for me at the time the boss refused and I got pushes anyway and even won some titles. But then they switched bosses and I found myself at the mercy of Bishoff and his head man at the time Scott Steiner. They forced me to do things for them saying that I would get the Word Title so I did everything they asked of me. After awhile I began to fall for Steiner and he used to abuse me physically and emotionally everything bad that happened was my fault and no one should love me because of that. He was the worst thing that ever happened to me and I still in the back of my mind when things like this happen believe that it's my fault." He explained the rest of it his voice hushed as he tried not to cry. He described tales of abuse that shocked Glenn and then finally he spoke of trying to get away from it all only to be raped by the man that he loved more than anything in the world.
Glen was shocked. He hadn't thought that it would be anything that bad. "Oh Sean, no wonder. Come here baby." He gently cradled his love in his arms as he cried rocking him back and forth not caring if anyone else happened to enter the chapel at that moment. Thankfully no one did.
After a little while Sean's sobs were reduced to hiccups as he sat there in Glenn's arms. "Glenn do you really love me?" He questioned afraid of betrayal.
Kissing Sean's fore head Glenn smiled. "Of course I love you little Hobbit and I believe I always will. It's just one of those things that consume you whole."
Sean sighed some what happy relaxing. "I love you too and I want to spend the rest of my life with you just talking and making love with you and sharing my affection with you. Do you mind?"
Glenn chuckled. "Of course not. I wouldn't have it any other way. You know that now. And nothing was your fault so don't worry about a thing."
Startled Sean sprung up. "Oh my god Glenn we've been away for almost a half hour we have to get back to everyone."
**********
Gilbert appeared a little while after Glenn and Sean came back. His face was as white as snow and he seemed very shaken. "I'm sorry all of you I really am I don't know any other way to explain this other than just saying it. Jeff is paralyzed from the waist down. He may never be able to walk or wrestle again." With that the older man crumbled into tears as the others looked at each other barely able to comprehend what they had just heard.
Shawn could feel the tears creep up on him as the lump in his throat grew. Sean had been right and Kevin lied to him. Everything was not going to be alright. How would Jeff take this news? Why do bad things always happen to the good people?
