Chapter 49
Cameron, Four months later…
Using a cane, KC walked around her home. Jeff was coming home today with everyone. She had been walking for a while but did not let him know that. It was hard on her and Gil to keep the secret but she wanted to surprise him. Plus he had been so busy defending his title and promoting the company that his visits home were very short and spaced far apart. Today was the first time KC was going to see him in more than three weeks.
KC really didn't need the cane anymore but she kept it with her just in case. She even started working in the ring to start getting rid of her ring rust. While getting back in the ring was important nothing was as special as the day she was able to pick up and hold Moore. Now over a year old, Moore is walking as well. She was able to tape his first steps, knowing they were coming and sent them to Jeff who was upset he missed it.
KC looked out the window, waiting for the cars to come up the lane. She couldn't wait to surprise Jeff and her friends today. Even Chris was coming with Stephanie to visit. KC was glad her friend finally bit the bullet and is making it work with Steph. KC glanced out the window smiling as she saw the dust coming up. Her man was home. She bent and picked up Moore and adjusted him on her hip. Slowly and carefully she walked to the door and stepped out on the porch. Both cars screeched to halt in front of the house. Everyone was so busy arguing about each other's driving skills no one noticed KC standing there. Again, slowly walking down the steps she called out to them.
"Is it just me or do you guys have the same fight every time."
Every one turned and looked at KC blinking. No one expected her to be standing in front of them holding Moore. Moore began wriggling when he saw his Daddy. Carefully she placed him down on the ground holding his hands helping him gain his balance. He began walking toward Jeff who still had his mouth open. Looking down finally he noticed his son walking up to him. Scooping him up and kissing him he headed over to KC.
"How? When? Why didn't you tell me," all came out jumbled from Jeff's mouth.
"For a little while and I wanted to surprise you…so…surprise," KC said throwing her hands in the air. Jeff put Moore back down facing the direction of Matt who was calling the boy over. Jeff pulled KC toward him and hugged the breath right out of her.
"Nero, I have to breathe," KC gasped. Jeff not wasting a moment, leaned into her a kissed her, slowly and tenderly. A blush rose up into KC's cheeks. "Wow," she gasped as Jeff finally released her mouth as if sensing the others around them. The two of them looked around at their friends and family. Matt, Chris and Shannon had big goofy grins on their faces as Amy and Stephanie cried happy tears.
"Skeeter, why didn't you tell me," Chris said walking over to hug her.
"Yeah, sis," Matt added juggling Moore on his hip. "We don't keep secrets in this family."
"I think it's cool," Shannon said causing everyone to look at him. "Since when has she ever been able to do anything without making an impact?"
Everyone laughed thinking about KC's debut, to announcing she was pregnant as well as giving birth during Wrestlemania.
"When shall I tell my father you will be back," Stephanie asked going into business mode.
"You guys are too much," KC said laughing. "Funny you should ask Steph. When you all go back on the road in a few days me and Moore will be joining you."
Jeff let out a yell and picked KC up to swing her around. "My girl is back with me!"
KC smoothed out her shirt as she was put back down on the ground. "I'm back and everyone better watch out!"
