AN: Thank you all for your patience. I just received my new computer but am now working on making sure it stays connected to the internet. I will be jumping time with this story for a while. Things need to be speeded up. Now, enough of my rambling…on with the story.

Chapter 59

Several weeks later…

Backstage at Raw…

KC sat on Jeff's lap in the locker room. She leaned against him as his arms wrapped around her. Both were watching Moore play with his wrestling figures and his Uncle Shannon. KC started giggling as Moore, using the power of his 2 years and some months old body, push Shannon to the ground. Jeff started laughing as well as his son appeared to be pinning his friend.

"That's it MC," KC cheered. "1…2…3…" KC climbed off Jeff's lap to lift Moore up in victory. "Here is your new Cruiserweight Champion, Moore Christopher Hardy!"

"No fair," Shannon mock cried much to Moore's delight.

"Sorry Shan," Jeff said. "My boy won fair and square." Jeff took Moore from KC and began to swing him around the room."

"What's going on in here," Matt asked as he walked into the room.

"Nothing much Uncle Mattie," KC responded nonchalantly. "MC just beat the Reject for his title."

"Oh," Matt said with a smile. "Sort of like what his Mommy's going to do this Sunday."

KC shot a look to Matt as Jeff groaned and left the room. KC going back in the ring on a regular competitive schedule has been a bone of contention between the couple since Vince told them.

"Great job Matt," Shannon muttered. He looked at KC. "Go talk to him. Matt and I will stay with MC."

Matt looked at Shannon as KC left the room. "I was just joking dude. What is there problem?"

"I know you were joking," Shannon said with a sigh, worried about his two friends. "Apparently all is not well with KC getting back to wrestling full time."

"What's the problem with that," Matt was confused. He only got back from his time off for his wedding and honeymoon. He really hadn't talked to Jeff about things since he got back with this being his first night back. Damn, I feel like I missed a lot, he thought.

"Jeff and KC have been going back and forth with each other since Vince decided I would be dropping my belt to KC. Jeff is worried about her being in the ring full time and whether or not her body can take it. KC basically has been trying to tell him to go to hell but in the nicest possible way. Needless to say, MC and I have been chillin' together a lot this week."

"But what's the big deal," Matt still didn't get it. "She's a wrestler. That's what she does."

"He's afraid she's going to get hurt."

"But it's against you," Matt said but clarified his statement. "No offense meant but if anyone would be careful with her, it's you."

"True, but think about her last two matches," Shannon said now playing with Moore again since the boy had been trying to get his attention. "One match, that I was a part of, she ended up partially paralyzed and only by the grace of God and her determination is she mobile today. The second match she had a miscarriage. Can you see why Jeff is concerned?"

Matt didn't bother speaking. Instead he thought about what Shannon had said and thought about how he would feel if that was Amy. He knew he would be just as concerned. He could only hope his brother and KC would be okay.

Outside the arena…

Jeff leaned against the wall smoking a cigarette.

"Got one for me," a soft voice asked.

"You don't smoke," Jeff said knowing it was KC.

"I used to," KC said leaning against the wall next to him. Her declaration had him turn his head toward her in surprise. "It's true. I used to smoke before I met you. Fozzy made me quit when we were in Mexico."

"Well you quit, not me, so I'm not sharing."

KC let out a breath at his stubborn attitude. "I love you. This week has been killing me with you. How much longer are you going to be upset? I want to wrestle. I am a wrestler. What more do you want?"

Jeff tossed his cigarette to the ground. "I'm not upset, just concerned. You've wrestled twice in the two years. Both times you ended up in the hospital. I do not want anything to happen to you."

KC moved to stand in front of Jeff, forcing him to look at her by placing her hands on his shoulders.

"Listen to me," she began. "I am only going to say this one last time. This is my job. I have trained for years for this. I have given my blood, sweat and tears to this industry. Yes, I've had some injuries and setbacks but so have you. I cannot and will not live my life in fear. You have to let me do this, be who I need to be."

KC looked at Jeff and decided some toughness was needed since her being nice hadn't gotten her any where all week and he still had a defeatist look on his face.

"Correct that, you don't have to let me do anything. I am going to do it whether you like it or not. I love you but if you can't support me in what makes me happy well then fuck you Nero."

KC turned to walk away from Jeff only to have her hand grabbed and her body pulled back into his. He ran his free hand across her cheek and down the back of her neck, pulling her even closer until he just slammed his lips against hers. KC moaned as his hands roamed and he devoured her mouth. She moaned even more as Jeff slipped past her guard and caused her to melt into him.

Slowly, ever so slowly, he pulled away from her, leaving her to catch her breath from his unexpected assault. Jeff kept his hands stroking her arms, her back.

"There's the Kace I love," he said leaning over and nipping along her neck. "I knew you still had that fire in there."

"Wait," KC said trying to gather her thoughts as Jeff continued his sensual attack against her body. "Have you been pissy all week because you wanted to rile me up?"

"Well, yes and know," Jeff said with a sheepish smile. "I am worried about you in the ring. I have always been worried. Since that match with Melina, you have just been going through the motions when you have been practicing lately. You do the moves perfectly as usual but that girl that first came in the WWE with the drive to play with the big boys was missing.

"You have been egging on this fight all week just to get the fire back," KC asked as she stared at Jeff. "How's this for fire? Do not even think about touching me for the next week.

Jeff started laughing but stopped when he noticed KC's expression. "You can't be serious Kace. I was just trying to help."

KC just nodded her head in affirmation.

"You aren't going to let me touch you for a week? You really think you could last without me for a week Kace?"

KC smiled seductively and ran her fingers up and down his chest causing him to shiver. "I know I can last the week. You…" KC laughed. "You I know cannot last."

KC turned and walked back into the building leaving Jeff standing there with his mouth wide open.

Back in the locker room…

KC walked in and smiled as she saw Moore playing now with Shannon and Matt. Moore looked up and smiled. "I Daddy," he yelled holding up Jeff's wrestling figure.

KC kneeled beside her son. "You're Daddy? Is Daddy winning?"

"Yup," Moore said with a nod. "He's beating Unca Mattie."

Matt groaned as KC and Shannon laughed with Moore.

"My own nephew won't let me win against my baby brother," Matt tried to cry making Moore laugh even harder. "This is not fair!"

"Why would he," Jeff asked coming into the room. "He knows his Daddy is the best."

"Hey M," Shannon called holding his Cena figure. "Who's this guy?" Shannon smirked at Jeff knowing the answer already.

"That's Champ!"

It was now Jeff's turn to moan and groan as everyone laughed at him. "Why does he still call Cena champ? He doesn't even have a belt anymore."

"Awww Jeff," Matt said with a smirk of his own. "He can't help it that Cena will always be the champ in his eyes and you are just a chump."

KC lifted Moore from the floor, tossing him into the air, much to his glee. "Wait till he sees Mommy with her gold."

"My gold," Shannon said quickly.

"No, after tomorrow, it's my gold. Get over yourself Reject." KC set MC down who ran over to Shannon as he pretended to pout.

"It's ok Unca Shan," MC said placing a chubby hand on his knee. "I lub you."

"I love you too M," Shannon scooped him up into his arms. "We are going for a walk. Catch you all on the flip side."

KC shook her head laughing as Shannon left the room with her son.

"Hey, doesn't it bother you that Shannon uses your son to pick up women," Matt asked.

"Not really," KC said as she began to pick up her sons toys. "Moore is a good judge of character. I followed them once. I saw MC throw a tantrum when this skanky ring rat tried to pick up Shannon. He turned that girl off real fast."

Matt and Jeff started laughing as KC finished cleaning up. "You two chill till we are ready to go. I am going to take a walk myself."

Matt watched his brother as Jeff's eyes followed KC out of the room.

"Everything cool with you two," Matt asked.

"We are fine," Jeff said with a smile. "I wanted to twist her up a bit for her match but I didn't think it would go this far."

"How far did it go?"

"I'm cut off."

Matt shook his head. "She cut you off." He began laughing. "Oh this is great. I am so glad we have acres between us. How long?"

"The rest of the week," Jeff grumbled causing Matt to howl even louder.

"So six more days, Dude you are so screwed," Matt laughed. "Well so screwed for not being screwed. No way can you last a week without now that you have been getting it regular from her."

"I can last," Jeff said with a sour face.

"I am so glad we are home tomorrow," Matt said with a smile. "I don't want to be a witness to your suffering.

"Like you're getting any with Amy right now as pregnant as she is."

"All I have to say is hormones and god bless them," Matt responded with a wink causing Jeff to think about his next lonely week a little more.
