Chapter 53
AN: I apologize for the last chapter. It was not one of my best. I promise it will get better. Keep reading and reviewing.
Cameron, NC…
Amy and KC sat in Matt and Amy's house looking over wedding magazines. Amy and Matt finally picked a date unfortunately it was only three months away.
"Why did you decide to get married in three months," KC asked sighing over the magazines. Amy just looked up and blushed puzzling KC. "I know it's not for the sex. Why so fast?" When Amy didn't respond KC knew something was up. Only one other thing came to mind. "Amy, do you 'have' to get married?" KC did air quotes around the word have.
"Um, um," Amy stuttered.
"Oh…my…God," KC screamed causing Jeff and Matt to come running into the living room.
"What's wrong," Matt asked. KC got up and hit him hard on the arm. "Ow, why no love sis?" Matt squirmed as KC stared him down.
"Sis, you call me sis? Do you have anything to tell us Matthew," KC asked causing Matt to now flinch at her question.
Jeff looked from his brother to his girlfriend confused. "What is she talking about Matt?"
"Yes Matthew," KC said. "What am I talking about?"
Matt looked to Amy for support but she just turned her head to look out the window. Nice, Ames, he thought. "I'm assuming it has to do with the wedding?"
"You are smart," KC said sarcastically. She hated that he just wouldn't say it. "Gee Nero; did you ever wonder why the wedding has to be so soon?" Jeff looked at KC still puzzled. She groaned. Men can be so slow, she thought. "Why do you have to get married so soon Matt?"
"Well," Matt scratched his chin and looked at Amy who just nodded, fighting to contain her smile. "Amy and I wanted your niece or nephew to be born after we are married."
At this Jeff's head snapped towards Amy, who was now in Matt's arms with his hands on her belly. "Amy are you…?"
"Jesus, Nero," KC said with a sigh. "You are slow." She walked over and hugged Amy and smacked Matt.
"Ow," Matt said rubbing his arm again. "Why the violence?"
"Why didn't you say anything," KC said hugging him. Jeff still hadn't moved and the rest of the group noticed. "Nero, are you okay?"
"We're having another baby," Jeff asked causing them to laugh. "I mean, I know you and Ames are having the baby but the family is having another baby. This is great!" Jeff lifted Amy up and swung her around.
"Careful with my baby's momma," Matt said taking Amy from Jeff's hands. Looking into Amy's eyes, Matt leaned in and kissed her. It started getting more passionate until Jeff spoke.
"Dudes, stop," Jeff said. "You already knocked her up once you can't do it again."
Everyone laughed.
"Why didn't you say anything," KC asked again as Jeff wrapped his arms around her and she leaned back into his chest.
"We wanted to wait," Amy said. "I promise we were going to tell you guys this weekend. Who knew you'd be so damn smart?"
"I did," Jeff and Matt said together causing the girls to giggle. The front door slammed shut.
"Hey you guuuuyyyysss," Shannon called walking into the living room and flopping on the couch. He looked at the coffee table and groaned. "Wedding stuff already!"
"Shannon, stop whining," KC said flopping on top of Shannon causing him to grunt and wrap his arms around her to keep her on top of him.
"Oh baby," Shannon purred. "How did you know I like it when the girl is on top?" KC now groaned.
"Leave Kace alone," Jeff said pulling KC off of him. "Go find your own girl."
"Why would I do that when I can have yours," Shannon smirked causing Amy to hit him off the back of the head. "Chill Amy, you know there is enough of me to go around." Now both girls hit him causing their men to laugh.
"So not cool messing with a pregnant woman," Matt said laughing not realizing what he was saying. Shannon looked at KC and smiled.
"Why do you assume it's me, Reject," KC asked causing Shannon to whip his head towards the blushing Amy.
"Ames," Shannon asked softly. "We're having a baby?"
"No," Matt said rolling his eyes. "Ames and I are having a baby."
"No," Shannon said shaking his head. "The family is having another baby!"
"That's what I said," Jeff exclaimed.
"Jeff, never admit you think the same as Shannon," Matt said.
"Matt leave them alone," Amy said kissing his cheek.
"Look at MC," Shannon said glancing at Jeff and KC. "He really is 'our' baby. We all are raising him, we just are letting Jeff and KC be in charge."
KC raised an eyebrow at Shannon. "You let us be in charge. Shannon, when you can push something larger than a cantaloupe out of your dick then you can decide who is in charge of raising my son."
All three guys shifted the parts uncomfortably at the thought of what KC just said.
"Where is MC anyway," Shannon asked trying to change the subject.
"He's with Legend," Jeff replied. "And to quote my father, 'you all have him with you all the time. Now git and leave me and the boy alone. I will call you when you can have him back.'"
"When did he take him," Shannon asked.
"Yesterday," KC replied. "I called there this morning and was told to get a life and have some fun. I took his suggestion and it turned into planning Matt's baby momma's wedding."
"Hey," Amy yelled. "At least after the wedding I'm not going to stay Matt's baby momma like you're Jeff's. I'll be Matt's wife."
KC's face fell a bit at that comment but she quickly recovered but not quickly enough that Jeff didn't notice it.
"You all leave my baby momma alone," Jeff said walking to KC. "We don't have to take this abuse. We're leaving." Jeff winked at Matt and Ames to let them know he was joking. As they got to the door, Shannon, having run after them, caught up.
"Don't leave me here with the pregnant lady," Shannon hissed.
"I heard that," Amy called from the other room.
"Take me with you," Shannon pleaded to KC.
"Let's go Shan," KC said grabbing his arm. "I take it you walked here."
"My car is at your house," Shannon replied as they got to Jeff's Corvette.
"Get in," KC said opening the door. "I'm going to give you the thrill of your life." With that she sat on Shannon's lap causing him to squeal with delight and make Jeff laugh as he closed the door. Jeff got in and started towards home, but kept thinking back to KC's face when Amy mentioned being a wife.
Later that night…
KC laid her head on Jeff's chest. It was her favorite place to sleep. She loved listening to his heartbeat.
"Kace," Jeff asked softly. "You awake?"
"What's up?"
"Why were you upset at Amy saying that stuff about being a wife?"
KC lifted her head and rested them on her hands.
"Honestly," she asked and Jeff nodded. "I don't know."
"Do you want to get married?"
"Do you?"
"I asked you first Kace."
"I really don't know. I mean I feel like we are married already. We live together, we have a son. Why do we need a piece of paper saying that we are a family when we are one already?"
"That makes sense. I feel that way too."
"However," KC said with a sigh. "Sometimes I think it would be nice to have that paper. You know, make things official and all. I worry about if something happens."
"When did you start thinking about this," Jeff asked stroking her hair.
"In the hospital," KC replied. "The only reason they let you know things is because you said you were my husband. I do worry if something happens to you or I what that does to who's left behind. Plus does MC need married parents?"
"I think tomorrow, we should go to the lawyers and get something drawn up saying we make the decisions for each other. This way no one can question us until we get that other piece of paper."
"Until," KC asked looking into her lover's eyes.
"Well," Jeff said scooting her up on him a bit. "One day, I would like to make an honest woman out of you, maybe."
"Oh Jeff," KC said wiping a fake tear away. "That is the sweetest, almost proposal I ever had."
Jeff swatted her bottom causing her to yelp. "No sarcasm needed Kace."
KC laid her head back on Jeff's chest. "I know you were serious but the mood needed to be lightened. When we are ready to get that piece of paper we will. Until then, I love you just the way things are."
"I love you too, Kace."
With that the almost Hardy's drifted to sleep.
