Chapter 45

Monday night before Showtime…

KC paced the arena waiting for Chris who had not arrived yet. Unfortunately Jeff was wrong, she hadn't heard from Chris the whole time she was home. Four days was a long time.

"Hey Skeeter," Chris called from down the hall. She watched as he kissed Stephanie and watched her walk towards the offices.

"Don't you hey Skeeter me," KC yelled back. Chris walked up to his friend and tried to hug her.

"Don't be nice to me now," KC said. "Did your phone break?"

Chris knew he was in trouble. He got on his knees in front of KC as if begging for forgiveness. "Please forgive me KC. I wasn't thoughtful and should have called you at least once."

KC held in a grin as she saw Stephanie smirk behind her Chris. Chris turned bright red when he heard her voice say, "Damn, KC, you really need to teach me that trick." Stephanie and KC both started laughing as Chris got up off the floor and brushed his pants knees.

"You two keep laughing," Chris said pouting. "I'm going to see MC. At least he loves me." Chris threw his head in the air and walked away from the giggling girls ignoring them calling out to him.

Chris walked into the Hardy locker room not even acknowledging Jeff and went straight to his nephew. "You love me don't you MC?" Chris kissed the baby on his head.

"Hello to you to Chris," Jeff said.

"Sorry Jeff," Chris said bouncing the baby on his lap. "That woman of yours just got me on my knees begging for forgiveness not knowing Stephanie was behind me." Chris shut Jeff a look as he started laughing.

"Sorry man," Jeff said slapping him on the shoulder. "She was going nuts since you didn't call her. Be grateful you got off easy."

"I did mean to call her," Chris sighed. "I just was busy."

"I calmed her down," Jeff said making a face at his son. "She wants you to be happy but she doesn't want to lose you either." Jeff looked at his friend who was just staring at Moore. "She had Matt and Shannon on their knees the other day."

"What they do," Chris asked smiling now. It never failed to amaze him over the control KC had over the men in her life.



"They did nothing. Amy made a crack about how Kace and I spent our afternoon together. Kace threatened not to feed them," Jeff laughed along with Chris. "Dude, she made chocolate pie. Of course they would be begging."

Chris and Jeff sat there laughing and getting ready for the night. KC walked in, kissed the baby, Jeff and Chris. "Glad to see you guys are so happy. Well, Fozzy, Stephanie just told me she had such a wonderful time with you and things couldn't be better."

"It was great," Chris had a soft smile on his face. "I plan on telling you all about it."

"All about what," Amy asked coming into the room with Matt and Shannon.

"All about his weekend with the Billion Dollar Princess," Jeff said with a smile. Everyone laughed as Chris threw a roll of tape at Jeff.

KC walked over to Amy a laid an arm on her shoulder. "You missed it Ames, I had Chris on his knees begging before." Chris turned red and looked down at Moore in his arms as the Matt and Shannon laughed.

"I wouldn't laugh if I was you two," Amy said. "I seem to remember you guys in that same position a few days ago."

Matt and Shannon quickly shut up as Jeff continued to laugh at the rest of the males in the room. "Jeff, it's not funny," Shannon sputtered. "Like she's never had you on your knees," Matt added.

Jeff looked at KC who now blushed. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I never said she never had me on my knees. In fact just this morning in the shower I was on them and she…oof." Jeff began to rub his chest where she elbowed him causing everyone to laugh.

"No one needs to know about this morning," KC said. "Now don't we have matches to get ready for?"

"Yes mom," everyone grumbled.

At the hotel…

The Carolina Crew, KC, Chris and Stephanie sat in KC and Jeff's hotel room going over everything that happened that night.

"KC you know you are next in line for the Women's Championship, right," Stephanie asked.

KC just shrugged her shoulders. "I'd rather have a shot at the Cruiserweight. No offense Amy, but my career before the WWE was built on wrestling guys. Why can't I continue that here?"

Everyone looked thoughtful. "Shane has it now," Jeff said.



"He's supposed to drop it to Shannon," Stephanie added.

"Oh," KC said. "That's fine. I can wait."

Shannon looked at KC. "How about a fatal three way? Pure shoot. Whoever wins, wins?"

Stephanie looked at KC who had a gleam in her eyes. She knew KC loved shoot matches. "Shannon are you sure," Stephanie asked. She leaned back against Chris who just wrapped his arms around her. "Fine, if that's what you both want and Shane agrees, I'll speak with Daddy about it."

Shannon and KC looked at each other with a wicked gleam in their eyes. Jeff leaned over to Matt and whispered, "You know someone is going to end up in the hospital, right?"

"Five bucks says it turns into no DQ," Amy responded.

Shannon and KC just continued looking at each other, each already plotting the match in their heads.

The Next Day…

"Are you sure you wouldn't rather the Women's Title," Jeff asked while feeding Moore. The more he thought about the three of them wrestling the more this bad feeling kept creeping up. "Take it easy for your first title."

"No Jeff," KC sighed as she finished packing. "If I go for that title, when it's time to lose it, I will look weak when I try for a men's title."

"I understand what you are saying, but can we change the match from a shoot to a designed ending," Jeff asked looking directly into KC's eyes.

"Well, we have to see if everyone agrees," KC said leaning over and wrapping her arms around Jeff's neck. "I know you are worried but let's not worry until everything is set in stone." She leaned in and kissed her son on the head and Jeff on the lips. KC went back to finish packing. Jeff couldn't shake the feeling something wasn't right.
