Chapter 34

One month later…

KC is sitting backstage at Raw in Tampa. In two months Wrestlemania will be upon them and her little boy with be making his appearance to the world. So much and so little has happened since KC and Jeff's "first" date. KC couldn't help but smile as she thought of all that has happened.

Since that night, KC and Jeff have grown closer. Sure they still steal kisses here and there but for KC it was important to rebuild the trust with each other and the emotional part of their relationship rather than the physical. Lord knows, they never needed help with the physical.

Chris basically moved in officially with KC. With the different schedules the guys and Amy have, no one wanted her left alone even if she was with them three days a week. Yes it was suffocating but that's what families are for.

Jeff and Chris both have been coming down on KC about her traveling since she started her seventh month. Whoever thought men should read What to Expect When You're Expecting should be shot. KC knew her limitations and couldn't wait to see there faces when she explained how she planned on coming to Raw over the next two months. She had to hand it to Stephanie, that girl is a genius.

KC was even able to get Trish back on the road after a few weeks suspension. Creative worked with KC to help make Trish a baby face. While she and Trish weren't friends now they weren't enemies either. Trish apologized for all that she did to KC. Chris told her he was proud of her for forgiving the Diva, but for KC she needed to forgive the past in order to move on in the future.

The fans were great at accepting a pregnant Diva. As she and Jeff grew closer in real life, their onscreen personas grew closer as well, much to the delight of the audience. Sure she was only there on Mondays, but she was still a presence.

"Penny for your thoughts?" a voice called out breaking KC's train of thought. Looking up she smiled.

"Hey Uncle Mattie."

"Sweetie, we talked about this." Matt tried to look serious which only caused KC to giggle. "The Uncle Mattie stuff was cute at first but can't you just call me Matt."

"No Uncle Mattie," KC said causing Matt to groan. "I want your nephew to know who is talking to his mommy. Since he is going to call you Uncle Mattie so should I."

"You're doing this to drive me crazy, right?"

"Absolutely," KC laughed. "So what do I owe the honor of your visit? Did Jeff or Chris send you to check on me?"

Matt laughed. He loved his brother and his friend but knew KC was going to kill one of those two before she gave birth.



"Neither did. I just missed you."

"Awwww," KC said starting to tear up.

"Woman! What have I told you about those hormones! Keep them in check." Matt started to back away from KC like she was a leper.

"I'm sorry Matt," KC replied wiping her eyes. "That was sweet." KC started boosting herself out of her chair. This was not an easy task as she got bigger. "How would you like to escort me to the meeting?"

"Why my lady it would be an honor," Matt said extending his arm to her.

"My sir, who ever said chivalry was dead never met a Hardy." KC tried to say in a southern twang.

"Well, miss," Matt said deepening his natural drawl. "I am a southern gentleman."

KC and Matt walked arm in arm to the meeting laughing the whole way.

In the conference room…

Jeff was pacing the room waiting for KC. Chris sat drumming his fingers on the table waiting for her as well. Jeff stopped by Chris.

"Should we go look for her?" Jeff asked.

"Dude, thinking the same thing here," Chris answered.

John, Amy and Melina started laughing causing Chris and Jeff to frown.

"What's so funny," Chris asked.

"If you guys don't lay off her," Amy began. "She is going to hurt you both."

Jeff and Chris looked at each other puzzled as the others laughed.

"Why is she going to hurt us?" Jeff asked.

Melina spoke up this time. "You are driving her crazy. You can't watch her 24/7."

"When she does snap on you two I want a ring side seat," John said still laughing.

Jeff now sat down on the same side of the table as Chris. Am I smothering her? They both thought.

"What's so funny guys," Matt asked as he and KC approached their friends table.

KC looked over at Jeff and Chris and was worried. Why are they so down? She waddled over and sat between them, placing a hand on each of their shoulders.

"What's wrong with you two?"



"Are you going to hurt us?" Chris blurted out causing John, Mel, and Amy to laugh even harder due to the look of terror on Chris and Jeff's faces.

KC started to laugh as she looked at Matt who just shook his head.

"Why on earth would I hurt the two of you? I love you both."

Jeff looked up at KC and pointed at the three across the table who were still laughing. "They said you are going to hurt us if we don't quit looking out for you." KC's eyes opened in understanding. Matt now started laughing because he just had the same conversation with KC only moments ago.

Taking both of their hands, KC finally spoke. "You know I love you both right," she began as they nodded their heads. "But the monkeys across the table are right." The others stopped laughing at this comment and tried to look hurt only to be shut down by one look from KC. "You guys can't watch me all the time. I know my body and I am doing everything the doctor says."

"But you shouldn't be traveling anymore," Jeff said.

"Correction, Mr. Hardy. Tomorrow will be my last plane ride for a while but I can still travel."

Everyone looked puzzled at that comment. "Explain," Chris said.

"Well, Stephanie wants me to stay on as GM onscreen until the little one pops. This is important with Wrestlemania coming up. Now, where is Wrestlemania, Raleigh. I can travel there by car. Where are most of the Raw's being held for the next few months, on the East Coast. If I can drive to a venue I will. If I can't I will be on satellite. Now does anyone have any questions?" When everyone remained quiet she continued. "Good. Now I am pregnant, hungry and hormonal, if there are not pickles on this table in two minutes I can guarantee one of you men will never father a child."

Scared to piss her off all the guys scrambled to run to the catering area to get KC what she wanted. The girls all laughed at how fast they moved.

"Why the guys, not us," Mel asked. Amy was curious for this answer as well.

"Simple, you are women and therefore suffer each month and will one day go through what I am going through. Men get off easy the least they can do is get me my damn pickles."

Amy and Mel looked at each other and began giggling at KC's simple logic. The girls all began laughing harder as they watched the four men scramble back into the room each carrying a plate of pickles.

"Hey guys, just think, only two more months to go of this." Amy called out as they were catching their breath causing the guys to all groan and the girls to all laugh.
