Chapter 57

After the show…

KC was busily packing her son's things so the family could leave the arena as soon as Jeff was done with his match. It was hard being there and not wrestling but KC could deal.

"When are we leaving," Shannon whined.

"You want a sheep that badly Reject," Chris asked with a smirk causing Matt and Amy to look at their friends with questioning eyes.

"Do we want to know," Amy asked rubbing her just starting to show belly.

"No," all three replied glaring at each other.

"Sis, why don't you three go," Matt said organizing their bags. "We'll take MC back to the hotel this when you guys can get a jump on your night."

"But I can't leave without saying goodbye to Jeff," KC whined causing Chris to snicker. "Oh, like you haven't already kissed the princess goodbye yourself."

"Not my fault my lady was available," Chris said with a smile.

"Hey KC," Shannon said opening the door with his and her bags on his shoulder. "Why don't we walk down to the stage? You can say goodbye when he comes up from finishing his match and then we can leave."

"Good idea Reject," KC said almost shocked.

"No need to be surprised," Shannon replied. "I am allowed to have an idea once and in a while."

Leaning up, KC kissed his cheek. "Yes you do."

"Again with my woman," Jeff called walking towards the group in the hallway.

"She kissed me man," Shannon said throwing his hands up making everyone laugh as KC wrapped her arms around Jeff's neck.

"You going to be okay with the baby," KC asked looking up in Jeff's eyes.

"We'll be fine Mom," Jeff sighed. Looking at the three of them he raised a brow. "Do I need to have bail money ready?"

"What do you think Fozzy," KC asked looking at Chris.



"Well," Chris rubbed his chin. "Depends on the Reject on how high his threshold is."

"You guys are starting to scare me now," Shannon said causing them to laugh at their young friend.

"Awww," Jeff said tapping Shannon on the chin. "You should be grateful these two felons let you hang with them. I'm her baby's daddy and I've never been invited."

"We were never charged with a felony Hardy," Chris said. "It was a misdemeanor and a few hours community service."

"What," Shannon yelled. "I don't want to get arrested."

Jeff, KC and Chris laughed.

"Chill, Reject," KC said. "We won't get you arrested."

"Let's roll Skeet," Chris said punching fists with Jeff and he dragged Shannon towards the door with his arm.

"Love you," KC said reaching up to kiss Jeff on the lips. Jeff wouldn't let her pull back instead pulled her closer to him.

"I have to go," KC said reluctantly pulling away. "God knows what Chris is doing to Shannon in the car."

Jeff laughed as he pulled KC back for one last kiss. Releasing her he pushed her towards the door. "Go have fun and no cops please."

"Yes dear," KC said blowing a kiss as she walked out the door.

Back at the hotel, Chris' room…

"Should I be afraid," Shannon asked dropping his bag by the closet.

"Reject, we're cool," KC said. "Just remember what ever happens or is said here doesn't leave this room."

"Not a problem," Shannon said flopping on a chair. "So…what's the plan?"

"Well first," Chris said in an extreme girly voice. "We give each other facials, paint our nails, have a pillow fight."

KC laughed as Shannon stared open mouth at Chris. "Easy Fozzy, leave Reject alone." KC turned to Shannon. "I think we can trust Shannon with our secrets." KC opens the in room fridge and pulls out a bottle of Jaegermaester and some beer.



"All you two do is drink," Shannon scoffed. "Big deal."

"We drink Shannon," KC explained. "But we also talk. Fozzy helps me with my issues and I help him with his. As honest as we are normally, we tend to feel better with our Fozzy/Skeeter nights."

"See," Chris explained as he cracked open a beer and poured some shots. "We also just have fun. We don't always drink sometimes we just chill with a movie."

"So why the secrecy," Shannon asked as he took a swig of his beer.

"When we were in Mexico, Chris was my family." KC looked at Chris with a smile. "I love Jeff. I really do but Chris is me as a man. He knows me so well. This became our "us" time. It has always been that way no matter who we are in a relationship with."

"It is also a deal breaker for people we date," Chris sighed. "If who we're with can't let us have some one on one time because they're jealous, we know its not going to work out."

"So Steph is cool with you too being alone, getting drunk in a hotel room with a bed," Shannon asked.

KC and Chris looked at each other and went "Ewww!!"

"No matter how lonely we were we have never EVER gone there," Chris said disgusted. "She's my sister. YUCK!"

"Thanks," KC hit Chris off the back of the head. "I feel so desirable right now."

"I'll do you," Shannon said earning two smacks off his head from his drinking buddies. KC rolled her eyes. "Why don't you just let Jeff and Steph know you just hang out? Why does it have to be cloak and dagger and have need of bail money?"

"Funny you should ask," Chris answered causing KC to chuckle. "We were arrested once during one of these nights." Shannon's eyes went wide. He hadn't realized that as they were talking they were taking shots and finishing beers.

"Why were you arrested," Shannon asked.

"Well, apparently that night I was a whore," KC said matter of factly causing Shannon to spit his beer and choke. Chris pounded him on the back. "And Fozzy," KC continued ignoring Shannon's distress. "Fozzy was my john."

"Oh, this I have to hear," Shannon said when he could breathe again.

"Well," Chris began. "We were hanging out and ran out of beer. We decided to walk from the hotel we were at to the 7-11 to get some more. I gave Little Mary Sunshine over there some 

money in the street and a cop thought I was propositioning her. We were arrested but got out a couple of hours later."

"How come I feel like something is missing," Shannon asked looking at KC.

"You feel that way cause he didn't give you details," KC explained. "Before we left the hotel, Chris and I were playing dress up. We picked out each other's clothes. I go classy for that numb nut but for me he goes total skank. I was lucky I was able to wear panties under the skirt he gave me, it was so short."

Shannon started laughing. "Did Jeff know about this?"

"It was when we first started dating," KC grumbled. "I needed him to bring our WWE id to the station even though the cops realized who we were. All he knows is what sort of happened that night but he knows nothing of our other nights."

"That's cool," Shannon slurred not realizing how fast the alcohol was hitting him. He also didn't realize the other two stopped drinking and were letting him get wasted.

"Reject," KC said softly trying not to giggle. "You look tired. Why don't you lie down and take a nap. Chris and I are just going to get some food for us at the Wendy's across the street."

"Mmmkay," Shannon mumbled as he stumbled towards the bed, crawling under the covers.

"That was too easy," Chris whispered heading to the closet. He opened the door and pulled out a stuffed sheep. KC grabbed her camera.

"Now we just have to wait for him to wake up," KC sighed as Chris put the sheep into bed with Shannon.

"He will soon enough," Chris said with a smirk.

The two friends sat down and started playing cards.

"How are you really feeling Skeeter," Chris asked after a few hours of random chit chat.

"Sucky," KC answered. "Jeff blamed me for losing the baby."

"What," Chris asked sharply.

"Calm down, he said at first that's how he felt when it first happened but he agreed with the doctor that something wasn't right from the beginning."

"He's a smart man. You should believe the doctor too. I know you blame yourself especially after all those years ago."



KC looked at Chris knowing he was talking about Mexico.

"There's a big difference though," KC said in a hushed tone. "I knew I was pregnant when I stepped into the ring then. I knew I was putting myself at risk. This time I had no idea."

"I always wondered…" Chris began.

"If I was going to go through with it," KC finished for him and he nodded. "No I wasn't. I think that's why I didn't care what happened."

Chris looked at his friend. He always suspected the reason she continued to wrestle back then even though he argued with her.

"Do you think less of me know," KC asked softly.

"No," Chris said firmly. "You were young, really young. I don't think a bull dozer could have stopped you. I think if you knew now that you were, you would stay out of the ring." Chris reached over and hugged KC to him. "I love you Skeeter."

"I love you Fozzy."

Just then a groan broke them from their private conversation. "Grab the camera," KC whispered as they watched Shannon begin to wake up.

Shannon lifted his head and began rubbing his eyes. All of a sudden he noticed the sheep in his bed.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH," Shannon screamed as Chris snapped pictures and KC 'baaahhhheddd' from the other side of the room.

Shannon struggled out of the bed and realized what was going on. He grabbed the sheep and threw it at his two friends who were on the floor laughing.

"That was so not cool," Shannon said then looking at his friends added, "does that mean I am officially part of your club?"

KC and Chris looked at each other and smiled as they laughed. KC wiped a tear from her eye and said, "Absolutely. From now on these nights are officially known as Fozzy/Skeeter/Reject nights. No others need apply."

Shannon wiped a fake tear from his eye and jumped on his friends.

Life was starting to look up again KC thought.
