Chapter 29
Back at Raw…
KC walked into the arena laughing with Shannon. All of a sudden she heard "Skeeter!" KC turned around to see Chris standing with his hands on his hips.
"No phone call all weekend," Chris started. "Where you sick? Did your phone break? What's up?"
"Well Fozzy," KC said as Jeff walked up behind her and hung his arm on KC's shoulder causing Chris to smirk. "I was busy having a picture taken of your nephew."
"Let me see," Chris said grabbing the picture without realizing what KC said. "Wait, did you say nephew?" Chris finally caught on causing KC and Jeff to laugh.
"Yes my friend. I'm having a boy."
Chris stared at KC's belly. "Oh my God, you have a penis inside you." Chris made an aghast face.
"Well that's how it got there in the first place," KC said causing both boys to groan.
"So GM, my favorite boss lady," Chris began grabbing her hand. "What is your plan for me tonight? Do I get to rescue a fair damsel in distress?"
KC laughed. "I don't know Chris. Read your script." KC looked at Jeff. "Speaking of scripts we need to get ours."
"Jeff, do you mind letting Skeets go?" Chris asked. "I really need to spend quality time with your baby's mama."
"Sure Chris," Jeff laughed as he began to walk away. "I'll be back in a few."
As Jeff walked away Chris grabbed KC's arm to drag her into her "office" for the night.
"Well girl spill," Chris said as they sat on the couch.
"Spill what Fozzy?"
"I don't know. Let me see," Chris tapped his finger to his chin. "How about how the weekend went? Why did Jeff have his arm on you? Do you plan on naming the baby Chris?"
KC started laughing at Chris' eagerness. "Are you a high school girl trapped in a man's body? The weekend was good. I spent a lot of time with Matt, Amy, Gil, and Jeff. Gil was very glad that I came to see him. Jeff and I had a long talk. He wanted me to move in with him," KC put her hand up when Chris tried to interrupt. "Let me finish. I told him no. However I am going to be living on the Hardy land in a house."
"That's great Skeeter. Now all that packing I did won't go to waste. What about my last question?" Chris looked at KC with big puppy dog eyes.
"I don't know what the alien's name will be yet Chris. I only found out it's a boy."
Chris sat dejected. Suddenly he popped up. "So when's moving day?"
"How does next Tuesday sound?"
"For you anything," Chris slung his arm around KC's shoulder and she snuggled into him. "Do you know what you are doing with Jeff?"
"Honestly, no. I am trying to take it as slow as possible. I have a feeling he wants everything to be the way it was but with all that has happened, I don't know if it can be."
"What do you want?"
"I want …" KC looked up as someone knocked on the door. "Come in."
"Hey KC, I brought you your script and I found these two looking homeless." Jeff pointed to Matt and Shannon standing behind him.
"Oh boys, have you missed me that much?" KC said.
"Yes I Did!" Shannon bounded over and sat by KC's feet laying his head on KC's lap. "Rub my head."
Everyone in the room laughed at Shannon's childish behavior.
"How come I feel like I have a baby already?" KC laughed but rubbed Shannon's head tenderly anyway.
Jeff sat next to KC and rubbed her belly as she took care of Shannon. "Don't worry Kace, our baby will definitely be better looking than this reject!"
"Nero, how dare you speak of our first son like that! Just because he's special does mean he's not cute." KC tried to keep a straight face as everyone kept laughing. She was also enjoying Jeff's hands on her as well.
"Why wasn't I invited to this party?" Amy asked from the doorway. "And what is so funny?"
Shannon leapt up and yelled "Aunt Amy, Daddy Jeff said I wasn't cute but Mommy KC called me special. I'm special right?"
Amy looked at Shannon as if he had three heads. Shaking her head she patted him on the head and said "You are definitely special Shannon. There is no doubt about it."
KC laughed and smiled as all her friends chuckled much to Shannon's "distress."
Later that night…
King: JR I wonder what KC, Raw's General Manager is going to have to say tonight.
JR: Well, seeing as we were all shocked by her appearance last week, I'm sure she will have a lot to say.
Cameras backstage…
Matt and Lita, much to the delight of the crowd, are prepping for the Team Extreme's upcoming match. KC walks up to them.
"How I wish I was still going out there with you," KC said coming into the camera shot.
"KC!" Lita leapt up and hugged her friend. "Why didn't you tell us?"
KC looked down and looked at Matt. "I couldn't. I didn't want anyone to be disappointed in me and with what happened with Jeff, I just couldn't be around you guys. I hope you understand."
Matt got up and stood in front of KC. Slowly he lifted his hand up and laid it her swollen belly.
"How could I ever be disappointed that my best friend is having my niece or nephew?"
KC's eyes welled with tears. This cutaway was hitting to close to home for her. Matt grabbed her in a hug as the camera panned to Jeff standing in the back ground looking longingly at his ex-girlfriend.
Back at ringside after commercial…
JR: Well King looks like KC is back in the fold.
King: Did you see her puppies?
JR: King! That's going to be someone's mother.
King: I know. Did you see Jeff Hardy though?
JR: One could only be wondering what is going on in his head.
King: Jeff Hardy, a dad. What is this world coming to?
Backstage after the Hardy's match…
Jeff approaches the GM's office, hesitating to knock on the door.
"Can I help you?" a voice asks from behind him. Jeff turned around and came face to face with KC. The crowd roared in anticipation.
"Well…I…see…ummm,"
"Spit it out Mr. Hardy!" KC seemed to have no patience for her ex.
"I wanted to know if we could talk."
KC laughed. "Talk about what? How you broke up with me? How you called me a whore? How you slept with that skank? What do you want to talk about?"
Jeff looked down. "I know I was wrong. I want to be a part of my baby's life."
"You're baby? Are you sure it's yours? I mean according to you it could be Y2J's…John Cena's…hell half the locker room could be this kid's father."
Jeff looked heartbroken at the cold look on his ex's face. "I know now you didn't do that stuff. Trish came clean before she left. I should have had more faith in you."
KC seemed to soften. "I know Jeff. I want you in your baby's life. Just give me time and space." With that KC opened her door and stepped into her office as Jeff stared at the shut door.
After the show…
Jeff and KC were waiting for the others so they could head to the hotel. Neither one of them had spoken since the last backstage segment.
Jeff finally cleared his throat. "So is it just me or was did that last promo hit a little to close to home?"
KC looked at Jeff. She had been uncomfortable since she read the script. "It was, but at least its stuff we have already talked about."
"True," Jeff touched KC's stomach again.
"I'm starting to feel like Buddha." KC said laughing.
"I can stop if this bothers you." Jeff went to pull his hand away only to have KC pull it back.
"No, leave it there." KC looked at Jeff and smiled. "It feels right."
"That it does," Jeff said smiling the biggest smile he has had in a long time.
