Chapter 52
Next Monday, in the ring…
KC groaned as she hit the ropes. Jeff wasn't lying when he said she was going to train. For the past week Jeff and KC have been training as much as her body allowed. She knew she was getting stronger but still needed her cane after there sessions.
"That's it for today," Jeff said.
"Thank God," KC said dropping to the mat exhausted. Jeff dropped down next to KC. Leaning over he gently caressed her lips with her own. Groaning KC pulled back.
"Sorry Nero, no energy," KC laughed tiredly. Jeff wrapped his arms around KC pulling her close.
"Hey you two, none of that in the ring, unless I can join you!"
"Shut up Shannon," KC and Jeff yelled together. Pulling away from each other, Jeff helped KC up. Looking over KC giggled as she saw Moore holding on to Shannon's hands as he toddled down the ramp.
"Hey MC," KC smiled at her son then at Jeff. "Looks like he's getting early practice on his ring entrance."
"Come on Moore," Jeff said helping him into the ring as Shannon lifted him up. "Want to show Daddy what you can do?"
Moore looked at Jeff and smiled. He toddled over and pushed Jeff's knee. Jeff fell dramatically to the mat bouncing Moore on top of him. Shannon quickly pounds on the mat…1…2…3. KC scooped up Moore and kissed him.
"The new WWE champion, Moore Hardy," KC called out holding Moore up as Shannon applauded.
"Even your son can beat you Hardy," a voice called from the ramp.
"Champ," Moore yelled causing Jeff to groan.
"Cena, you corrupted my kid," Jeff said getting up and taking Moore from KC. "That is not right."
"Like I've been saying," John said climbing in the ring. "It's not my fault Little Thug knows I am the real champ."
"Champ," Moore repeated happily reaching out for John.
"Cena, stop egging my guy on," KC said putting her hands on her hips as John bounced Moore on his side. "It's just not right."
"Mama," Moore said almost too quietly causing heads to whip around.
"What did he say," Shannon asked.
"Who's that," John asked pointing to KC.
"Mama!"
"Who's that," John asked pointing to Shannon.
"Sssssss!"
"Close enough," Shannon said laughing.
"Who's that," John asked pointing to Jeff only to receive no answer.
"Great," Jeff sighed. "Come on Moore say Dada!"
"Still trying to get that kid to say Dada," Chris asked walking to the ring with Matt and Amy.
"He knows and says everyone else's," Jeff whined. "Watch." He gestured for Cena to start again.
"Who's that?"
"Mama!" Moore clapped his hands happily.
"Who's that?"
"Ssssss."
"Good boy, who am I?" John pointed to himself.
"Champ!"
"Who's that?"
"Ame."
"Great! Who's that?"
"Att!"
"Cool kid, who's that?"
"Fozzy!"
Chris laughed. "That's right MC!"
"Who's that?" Cena pointed at Jeff.
Moore just shrugged causing Jeff to groan even Moore. For some reason Moore refused to say who his daddy was. It was a constant frustration for Jeff.
"Come on Moore," Jeff pleaded. "Can't you say Daddy?"
Moore looked at Jeff thoughtfully. "Daaaaa….Jeff."
"No Moore, Dada," Jeff pleaded.
"Da Jeff!" Moore cried happily.
"Dude, give it up for a while Cena said tossing the giggling boy into the air as KC wrapped her arms around Jeff's waist.
"At least your Da Jeff now," KC said with a slight smile. "He's almost there."
"Why can't he just say dada," Jeff asked.
"Because you want him to too much," KC answered. "Leave him be Nero, he'll say it when he wants to."
Jeff looked at KC and muttered a "Yes dear" as the group left the ring to head backstage.
Later, on air…
The crowd is screaming as their favorite Diva, KC appears onscreen. She is sitting on a box talking to Lita as Melina approaches much to the crowds disdain.
"Well, if it isn't WWE's own gimp," Melina says with a smirk causing KC to hop off the box.
"You have a problem Melina," KC asked,
"As a matter of fact I do," Melina answered getting into her face. "How dare you think you could lay your hands on me and there wouldn't be any repercussions?"
"Wow," KC said with a look of surprise on her face. Turning to Lita, "Who knew this whore knew such big words?" Turning back to Melina, "So tell me ho, what's the repercussions?"
Melina was pissed and it showed. KC was equally pissed and knew going off script on Melina would just irk her.
"Well gimp, at Vengeance your huge ass is mine," Melina said gleefully.
"Oh no," KC said sarcastically. "How can I ever beat this pile of silicone? Woe is me."
Melina pulled her hand back and slapped KC. KC just wiped her mouth of blood and smiled sadistically at her former friend. "At Vengeance you are mine. I know how you like it rough, so I already talked to McMahon. At Vengeance, it's you and me hard core sweetheart." KC harshfully tapped Melina's cheek as she turned and walked out of camera range.
Melina turned to Lita who sat there with her mouth open. Lita hopped off the box and looked at Melina and chuckled. "You are so screwed." With a laugh, Lita walked off camera leaving Melina standing there in a huff.
Off air…
KC walked back to the locker room with Amy. She was worried about facing Jeff. She knew it was wrong not warning him about it being hard core but it had to be done. It was the only way for her to come back to the ring.
"You know, staring at the door isn't going to open it," Amy said breaking her from her thoughts. "I guess it's safe to assume Jeff didn't know the type of match you'd be in."
"That's pretty safe," KC said rather glumly. "I think I need a drink." KC turned to leave as the door opened and Matt popped his head out.
"Hey sis," Matt said quietly, a little too quietly for KC's liking. "Get in here."
KC turned back around and followed Amy into the room. In there Jeff and Chris sat silently on the couch just staring at her. Shannon was concentrating on the floor pattern.
"Hey guys," KC said taking a seat across from the guys.
"Hey guys," Chris asked. "She walks in here and says 'Hey guys' as if nothing just happened." KC hung her head knowing how pissed her best friend was. "Hard core? You had to go to that extreme." Chris' voice started getting louder. "A fucking hardcore match, are you nuts? You just started walking normally again. Do you really want to jeopardize your health? Does your family mean nothing to you?"
KC couldn't answer as tears welled up in her eyes. She refused to let them fall. Chris rarely yelled at her but Jeff not saying a word made it ten times worse.
"Chris lay off," Jeff said softly. "I need time alone with her."
Chris looked at Jeff angrily and stormed out of the room. Shannon, Matt and Amy left not before Shannon squeezed KC's shoulder supportively. She looked at him with tear glistened eyes gratefully.
Jeff and KC sat there not saying a word for several minutes. Finally KC just got up and went to look at Moore sleeping in his play pen.
"Why that type of match," Jeff asked from behind KC. She could hear the sadness in his voice and fought to keep the tears at bay.
"I had to," KC answered not turning to him but sighed as he wrapped his arms around her from behind, leaning his head on her shoulder.
"Why," Jeff asked again.
"If I started wrestling again scared, I will always be scared."
"Ok," Jeff replied shocking KC. "OK?"
"I am upset that you want to put your body on the line like that again," Jeff said turning around so that she had to look at him. "But I understand the fear part of it. Just promise me you will walk back to me and MC fine after that match."
"I promise to try my damndest to come back to you in one piece," KC said looking into his eyes. "I love you Nero."
Jeff leaned in and captured KC's lips with his. "I love you too," he panted heavily as they broke away. "Is Moore asleep?"
KC angled her head at Jeff as he broke contact with her and walked towards the door, she heard the click of the lock and finally answered. "He's out like a light." She saw the hunger burning in his eyes. "What are you doing Nero?"
"Well," Jeff replied stroking a finger up her arm causing her to shiver. "As much as the match bothers me your attitude in that spot really got me going." He leaned in sucked her bottom lip into his mouth causing her to moan.
"Really?" KC couldn't get over his hands running all over her body. She didn't even realize that he had slowly moved her towards the shower room or that her shirt was now gone. "Nero," KC breathed heavily. "Won't the others need the room?"
"Fuck them," Jeff replied unbuttoning her pants.
"No," KC said with an evil grin. "Fuck me."
And he did.
Back at the hotel…
KC was able to get Shawn to keep an eye on Moore so that the group could go out to the lobby bar for a bit. Unfortunately, Chris still wasn't speaking to KC. Stephanie and Jeff were trying to get the two best friends to speak but neither would be the first to bend.
After several rounds KC was feeling loose much to the groups amusement. She was cracking on everyone finally settling on Chris.
"Hey Fozzy Bear," KC said slowly causing Chris to look at her. "You are an asshole."
Now, Chris also was pounding the drinks down and was feeling no pain. "Why would you say that?"
"Well," KC said resting her chin under her hand. "You haven't talked to me all night. Therefore you are an asshole."
"Well," Chris said mimicking her position. "You are a bitch who didn't warn me about that stupid match you are in."
Everyone held their breaths as the two friends spoke. With their personalities blows could be exchanged especially in there inebriated state.
"I'm not a bitch," KC said. "I'm mega bitch. You are not my father. Why do I have to clear what I do with you?"
"Cause I'm your family," Chris added slowly. "I love you Skeeter."
KC hugged Chris causing sighs of relief for their table. "I love you Fozzy."
