Chapter 56

Cameron…

KC sat on the front porch with a blanket wrapped around her lap. Since coming home from the hospital several days ago, she was constantly cold. She smiled slightly watching Jeff and Matt playing with MC. I wonder how MC would have liked a little brother or sister, she thought as tears ran down her face.

Matt looked up from MC at KC. He gave Jeff a nod making him turn towards her as well. Jeff just shook his head and sighed.

"Hey little man," Matt said swinging a giggling Moore up into his arms. "How about we go to my house and visit Aunt Amy?"

"Ames," Moore shouted happily. Matt looked at Jeff who just nodded as Matt began the walk to his house. Jeff closed his eyes, opened them again and walked towards KC.

"Kace," Jeff asked softly. "Talk to me please. I love you." He reached out to touch her face but she pulled away.

"How can you love me after what I did," KC asked refusing to look at him.

"You did nothing wrong," Jeff said calmly. "The doctor said it would have happened no matter what. Your body just couldn't handle taking care of another person right now. One day, we'll have another."

"Were you mad at me at all," KC asked but this time looking into his eyes so she could see the truth in his answer.

"Honestly," he asked and sighed when she nodded yes. "I was at first." He sat down next to her, turning her so that he can look at her eyes. "But, it went away. Like I said, right now, it just wasn't meant to be. One day it will be."

"I knew you were mad," KC sighed closing her eyes. "I also know about the phone call you made." KC opened her eyes as Jeff looked at her shocked. "I just need to know if you followed through with it."

Jeff couldn't believe that KC knew he called his old dealer. He was alone when he made that call. He made sure of it.

"I called," Jeff said sadly. "I bought some stuff. I sat in our bathroom upstairs and stared at it for the longest time. Then I head Matt come in with Moore yelling 'da Jeff.' I looked at the stuff again and just flushed it." Jeff looked at KC who had a small smile on her lips. "How did you know?"



"I know you Nero," KC said finally reaching out to touch him. "I know you better than myself." She leaned over and placed a tentative kiss on his lips. "Thank you for flushing it."

Jeff looked at KC, relieved to see she was coming back to him a bit. He knew it wasn't perfect and he was going to force it. Wrapping his arms around her he dragged her into his lap, just needing to be close to her.

"Thank you for loving me," Jeff said softly in her ear.

Back on the road…

KC wasn't cleared to wrestle yet but she still decided to travel with everyone. KC rested on the back of the van on Shannon's shoulder as Jeff slept on the seats in front of them with Moore. Amy and Matt were oblivious to everyone else as Matt drove.

"How are you really feeling," Shannon asked in a whisper.

"Sore, tired, depressed," KC answered honestly. "A little of everything I guess. Jeff doesn't know yet but Fozzy and I are going to stay at this hotel together. I just need some Fozzy time right now."

"I think it will be a good thing," Shannon said and he really believed that. He knew that Jeff and KC have been working together on what happened but Jeff has also had Matt to talk to. KC still relies on Chris for that part of herself. "You know you always have me if Chris isn't available."

KC smiled at Shannon. "I know and as much as you are my friend and brother, you are his," nodding towards Jeff, "first."

"I'll dump him for you any day sweetie," Shannon said with a smirk.

"Shan, you are my special reject," KC said smirking back but then looked as if she was thinking about something. "Would you like to come to a Fozzy/Skeeter night?"

Shannon looked at her wide eyed. "I would love to but only if you are comfortable with that."

"I think I am Shan," KC said with certainty. "You have been there for me no matter what. I want you there however you will have to promise that anything that happens while we are together cannot be shared with anyone."

"You're scaring me," Shannon said with a laugh. "Does it involve a sheep?"

KC laughed at this now, noticing Jeff begin to stir. "We haven't had a sheep for one of these nights yet but you never know."

"Never know what," Jeff mumbled as he woke.



"Never know how bad of a driver Matt is," Shannon said causing Jeff, KC and Amy who heard the reject as well to laugh.

"Hey, I am not a bad driver," Matt yelled from the front.

"How many tickets have you had," KC asked innocently.

"Two less than your boyfriend," Matt responded, causing more laughter.

"And you are proud of that why," KC asked with a smirk causing Amy to howl.

"Keep it up sis and I'm dumping your ass off at the next rest stop," Matt growled.

"Leave her alone Matt," Shannon laughed from the back. "She only speaks the truth."

"I'll throw you out too," Matt yelled causing more to wake up.

"Good job Uncle Matty," KC hissed as she stroked Moore's forehead.

"I blame his mother," Matt shot back.

"Can you both just quit it," Amy asked from the front seat.

"Yes Mom," the whole car chorused as they pulled into the arena finally.

Walking into the arena…

"Chris," Matt yelled. "I am so glad to see you!"

Chris looked down the hallway towards the NC crew walking in a little shocked that Matt was glad to see him. But when he saw a smirking KC and Shannon following behind, he had an idea what was going on.

"Skeeter, what did you do to Matt now," Chris questioned.

"Why is it always me Fozzy," KC asked trying to act offended.

"Fine," Chris sighed. "Shannon what did you do to Matt?"

"Absolutely nothing," Shannon said with an impish smile. "All we did was comment on the kind of driver Matt was."

Chris looked at Jeff who was holding KC. Jeff just shook his head.

"What have I told you about bothering the driver, Ka…" Chris couldn't finish speaking as KC slammed her hand on his mouth.



"What did I tell you my name is," KC said glaring. Jeff's ears perked up.

"What is her real name," Jeff asked causing everyone one to stop in their tracks. "As long as we've been together, she has never told me."

"Dude," Matt said. "Just check her license."

KC laughed and handed her wallet to Matt. He groaned as he looked at her id.

"How did you get away with having just your initials," Matt asked.

"I screwed the guy at the DMV," KC said nonchalantly causing Matt's mouth to drop open and Amy to laugh.

"She's kidding Matt," Amy said closing his mouth for him.

"Although," Shannon said with a laugh. "I would have loved to be that guy at the DMV."

Jeff handed MC to a laughing Chris. "What did I say about saying stuff about my woman?"

Shannon turned to run and shouted, "I love to share!" Jeff took off chasing the reject through the halls.

KC just shook her head as she walked over to Chris as Amy and Matt headed towards the locker room. "Okay if we have a new attendee for tonight?"

"Who," Chris asked.

"The Reject," KC answered. As Chris nodded KC continued. "He wanted to know if a sheep would be involved when I tried to warn him about our get-togethers."

Chris laughed. "What did you tell him?"

They started walking as KC replied, "You never know."
