Chapter 40

Cameron, NC, three months later…

KC walked to the window rocking Moore in her arms. At three months old, he has already grown so much. KC looked out for the familiar car to come down the drive. She took her eyes off the road to look at her son.

"Daddy's coming home today," she said gently to her sleeping son. Jeff returned to the road two weeks after he was born. Being the WWE champion required him with the rest of the roster. KC wished he could have stayed home longer but he was living his dream. She couldn't blame him especially after the last few years and all they had gone through.

KC looked up as she heard the car come down the drive. A smile lit her face as she went to go outside to see her man.

Jeff pulled next to the house, smile on his face as he saw KC and his son waiting for him on the porch. He was glad to be home after over a month on the road. He never expected to away this long. All he wanted to do was get home to his girl and son.

"Hey Nero," KC called from the porch careful not to wake up Moore.

Jeff walked up to her and kissed her gently on the lips and then pressed a kiss on his son's sleeping forehead.

"Let's go in you must be tired," KC said as Jeff wrapped an arm around her waist.

Once inside KC laid Moore down in his port-o-crib. She softly stroked his face as she covered him with the blanket. She headed into the kitchen where Jeff was getting a snack.

"I'm so glad you are home," KC said hugging him.

"So am I," Jeff said as he glanced towards the living room. "He is getting so big."

"I know," KC sat in Jeff's lap after he sat at the table. She loved when Jeff had his arms around her and rested his chin on her shoulder as he was doing now. "He's missed you too."

"I wish I could have gotten home more," Jeff said sadly.



"Hey," KC said looking in his eyes. "You are here now. You saw the video's I emailed each day." KC smiled. "Plus you won't miss him that much when you leave in a few days, that I promise you."

"How can you say that KC," Jeff asked hurt. "You know how much I miss you both when I'm not here."

"It's going to be pretty hard to miss us if we are with you," KC said slyly.

"With me," Jeff asked as if not getting it. "What do you mean with me?"

"Well, I spoke with Vince today. My maternity leave is over and I am welcome back on the roster if I want to be there but if you'd rather me and Moore stay home…"

KC couldn't finish that sentence as Jeff captured her lips in a searing kiss. After several moments they broke apart trying to catch their breath.

"You are coming back with me," Jeff asked nibbling along KC's neck causing her to giggle.

"Yes, daddy, Moore and I are your traveling buddies starting this Sunday."

Jeff didn't even bother speaking. He stood up with her in his arms and continued to kiss her while walking through the living room. Grabbing the baby monitor on the table he continued up the stairs.

"What are you doing Jeff," KC asked in between kisses.

"I am taking you upstairs to show you how happy I am that you are coming with me."

"But the baby…"

"Is sleeping which I promise you, you will not be."

Jeff pushed open their bedroom door and placed her gently on the bed. Leaving her panting, he placed the baby monitor on the night stand and pulled off his shirt, with KC following his lead.

Jeff pushed KC back on the bad and continued to kiss her, roaming his hands all over her body.



Kissing her gently he said, "You are so perfect, Kace. The whole time away, all I could think about was laying here with you like we are now."

KC looked into her lover's eyes knowing how special this moment was for them. It was like their first time all over again. They hadn't been this intimate in almost a year.

"I love you Nero."

"I love you Kace."

An hour later…

KC lay in Jeff's arms at peace when a cry broke their silence. Laughing they looked at each other.

"It was too perfect wasn't it," KC said with a laugh getting up and throwing some clothes on.

"It was perfect, but now it's even better," Jeff said getting up and dressed as well. "I get to see my boy awake."

Together they went downstairs where Jeff picked up the crying Moore.

"Baby, Daddy's here," Jeff said cooing in is ear as KC grabbed the changing supplies.

"Here Daddy," KC said with a laugh. "You change him, I'll warm his bottle."

Jeff looked up panicked. He never really changed his son's diaper by himself and he hadn't done even that in so long. "How about we switch," Jeff asked rocking his crying son.

"How about no," KC said walking into the kitchen.

Jeff looked down at his son and thought I can do this. He laid Moore down on the changing pad KC had out.

"Ok, Moore let's get you undressed." Jeff carefully opened the bottom of the onesie his son wore. "So far so good. Ok, let's open this diaper." Jeff pealed back the tabs not noticing KC watching from the kitchen door way. "Holy shit!" Jeff held his nose. "What has Mommy been feeding you?" Taking a deep breath, Jeff removed the diaper and started cleaning his son up. 

"Ok, all clean and powdered, now let's get that diaper on." After a few, tries Jeff was sure it was secure and finished by closing up the onesie. He finally noticed the intent look his son had on his face.

"What Moore," Jeff asked picking him up. "Did you think Daddy wouldn't be able to change your diaper?" He kissed his son's head and noticed KC standing there with the bottle. "Been there long?"

"He drinks formula or breast milk Jeff," KC responded answering Jeff's earlier question.

"You could have helped me you know?" Jeff passed his son to KC who began feeding him.

"No, I couldn't have," KC said sitting in the rocker by the window. "You wanted your son awake; you got him awake with a full diaper. Now, please throw that smelly diaper away."

"Yes ma'am," Jeff said in mock salute.

"Well Moore," KC said to her slurping son. "Daddy is a goof. Speaking of goofs," KC looked at Jeff. "Where are the rest of the boys?"

Jeff laughed. "I told them they had to stay away for a while. I wanted some quality with just us."

KC smiled. "Awww, so sweet. You do know the three of them are probably torturing Amy by sitting at the end of the driveway waiting for you to call them to give them the all clear."

"Yup," Jeff replied with a smirk.

"Call them and put them out of their misery please," KC said. "Could you also put the oven on? I have a lasagna that can go be heated up for you guys."

Jeff nodded and went to make his phone call as KC started to burp Moore.

"Be prepared son, it's been a while since your uncle's have seen you. They are nuts but they love you. At least Aunt Amy is sane." KC rubbed her sons back as Jeff walked back in the room wrapping his arms around her waist waiting for their family to join them.
