Chapter 44

Cameron…

KC threw herself on the couch next to Jeff. "How happy am I to be home!"

"How happy are you?" Jeff asked knowing she really wasn't asking a question. Noticing her glare, he moved her so her legs were stretching across his lap. He started rubbing her legs as she laid back. "I thought you couldn't wait to get back on the road."

"I couldn't," KC said moaning as he continued to work the knots out of her calves. "However, it's a lot harder travelling with a baby."

"It will get easier as he gets bigger," Jeff slid his hands up pulling her fully into his lap. Giggling, she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Besides you would be lost without me."

"Is that what you think Nero," KC smirking. She began to lightly trace Jeff's tattoo on his neck trying to hold in her giggles as he shivered under his touch. "I think I would be fine without you."

Jeff looked at his woman. Deciding to up the ante, he flipped her on her back and pinned her to the couch. "If you were trying to get my attention, it worked." He began grinding into her causing her to moan. "Two can play your game."

KC looked up into Jeff's lust filled eyes. "I love you," she whispered softly as she kissed him gently. Out of nowhere tears filled her eyes.

"I love you too," Jeff replied brushing the tears from her cheeks and began kissing her passionately as if they had been separated for years. Slowly he broke away. "You are my heart, my soul, my breath. Without you, I'm lost."

KC kissed Jeff slowly pulling his shirt up and over his head. "Without you, I'm not me."

Later on…

KC stood at the stove stirring a few pots thinking about the intense afternoon she and Jeff had. Lost in her own thoughts, she didn't hear Amy, Matt and Shannon come in the back door.

"Hey KC," Shannon called. When KC didn't turn, he tapped her shoulder causing her to scream and her friends to laugh.

"Jesus Christ Moore," KC said swatting at her friend who just dodged. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

"Yep," Shannon said kissing her on the cheek. "Why were you so spacey?"



KC blushed and shrugged. Amy narrowed her eyes at her friend. "Some one got busy this afternoon!" Amy said in a sing song voice.

"Who did what," Jeff asked walking into the room carrying Moore.

"You and sunshine there," Amy said pointing at KC who was still beat red.

"Oh, is that all," Jeff walked over and kissed on the lips causing his friends to go 'Awww.' "Kace, why are they here?"

"Well, Nero," KC said tickling her son. "I think they expected me to feed them, but I don't think that's going to happen now. This chicken, mac & cheese and chocolate pie are just going to go to waste."

Shannon and Matt both gave Amy a dirty look since she started it. Shannon threw himself on the floor in front of KC begging to be fed, followed very shortly by Matt. KC and Jeff both laughed.

"Guys get up, just because Amy is fresh, I guess you don't have to be punished too," KC smiled as both boys started grabbing dishes out of the cabinet to set the table. KC looked over at Amy and winked. Amy held her chuckle in. Both she and KC have discussed in the past that the easiest way to get these boys to heal is by either withholding food or sex.

The next day…

KC and Moore sat on the front porch with Amy watching the boys film a new episode of the Hardy Show. Andrew was behind the camera trying to get the boys to start another egg war.

Deciding they really didn't feel like being hurt by shells, the boys went inside to the kitchen just to hang out but still have Andrew film. KC and Amy followed just because they didn't want to see anything broken.

"Hey Jeff," Matt called with his head in the refrigerator. "Have you tried any of this baby food?"

"No," Jeff said having a feeling where this was going. "Why would you like to?"

"I was thinking," Matt said as he brought out a bottle from the fridge and then began grabbing various jars from the cabinet. "Here you are feeding your son this stuff and you don't even know what it tastes like. How about we give it a try?"

KC and Amy laughed. But KC kept an eye on the bottle that was on the table wondering if Jeff was going to realize what was in it.

"Now, what do we have here," Matt asked reading the labels. "Carrots, peas, bananas, pears, green beans, sweat potatoes…Jeff this sounds not to bad." Matt started opening the caps and started smell the jars. "Ewww…you feed this to him." Matt made a face at the camera. "Matt fact – Matt does not like the smell of baby food."



Matt and Jeff started testing the baby foods as Amy and KC looked on and laughed at their men's antics. Finally, Matt picked up the bottle off of the table.

"Hey Jeff," Matt looked at his brother. "Moore likes drinking formula right?"

Jeff was trying hard not to laugh. He looked at KC who was already losing it. "Sure dude, the littlest Hardy loves formula."

"Well let's see if Uncle Matt likes it too," With that Matt took a huge swig out of the bottle. KC stepped forward with Moore in her arms. She was now in view of the camera.

"This isn't bad," Matt said going for another sip.

"Thanks, Matt," KC said. "Who knew you would like breast milk so much?"

Matt quickly spit out the milk and sputtered at his brother. "You said …baby…formula…"

"No," Jeff said laughing. "You asked if he likes formula, he does. You didn't ask what was in the bottle."

Matt looked at the bottle and at his brother and the laughing girls, he took another sip. "Hey, it's not that bad."

Later that night…

Jeff and KC lay in bed. Jeff watched as KC twirled her hair around her finger.

"He's fine Kace," Jeff said turning off the TV as her rolled over and laid his head on KC's belly. KC looked down and began stroking Jeff' head.

"He usually calls every day. It's been two days."

"He's fine. Chris is probably enjoying his time with Stephanie." Jeff looked at KC as a thought popped into his head. "Your plan blew up in your face." KC looked at him puzzled and her hand stopped moving. "You wanted Chris with Stephanie but now you're not the only girl in his life. You're jealous."

KC sighed. "I know I should be happy. Hell, I pushed them together but I should have got a call at least. I always call him."

"Did you call him every day when we started?" KC looked down. "I didn't think so. Kace, just relax. He will call. Now, let's get some sleep before we know it that kid of yours is going to be screaming."

KC hit Jeff's arm but began snuggling into him. "It's amazing how when he's happy he's your son but if he's cranky he's mine."



Jeff laughed lightly and kissed KC on the head feeling her start to drift off, soon he was joining her.
