AN: Thanks for all your support. I know a few of you were confused about why KC was so angry. Hopefully this chapter helps explain it better. A few people have asked me when this story will end. Honestly, I don't know. I have the boys in mind for how they will be when they grow up already in mind. What do you all think I should do? Read and let me know what you think.

Chapter 65

Cameron, NC…

"So you finally made an honest man out of my son," Gil said with a twinkle in his eye as Jeff, KC and Moore walked up the front porch steps. "Congratulations," Gil said kissing KC on the cheek. "All though, I would have loved to have been there."

"I promise you can come to my next wedding Dad," Jeff said earning an elbow from KC. "Sorry honey, bad joke."

"Gil, I'm sorry you weren't there," KC explained as they sat on this wicker set. "It was only the three of us."

"We got mawwied," Moore said trying to get attention causing his parents to groan.

"MC, why don't you go play in the yard," KC said.

"Otay Mama," he said with a smile. Jeff took KC's hand in his as they watched their son toddle down the stairs to play in his Grandfather's yard.

"Dad, we wanted you to be the first to know," Jeff tried to explain.

"Unfortunately, the stooges screwed that all up," KC said bitterly. "We never wanted it to come out like that. We figured that they knew what happened when MC told us that he told Amy what we did yesterday. We just had no idea they would use it or him on air."

"KC," Gil said grabbing her other hand. "I know they are terrified of you right now. They just didn't think. However, I am happy that you two are finally married. I thought I would never live to see that day. Please talk to your brother."

"We will," Jeff said running his fingers up and down KC's arm. "Just give us, Kace in particular, some time. Seeing Moore on TV was never in the plan."

"Plus," KC said with a smile. "Can you imagine what I had to deal with from Fozzy on the phone? He was not a happy camper with me."

Gil just laughed. "Sweetie, can you blame him? He's your big brother."

"I know Pops," KC sighed. "So, have the three stooges come around here at all today or are they waiting to get the all clear?"

"They are waiting for the all clear," Gil said with a chuckle. He understood why everyone was upset but they just need to get over it. "I have an idea. Leave Moore Christopher with me. You two go have a night to yourselves. But tomorrow, I am sending the stooges," Gil chuckled at the nickname, "over to talk to you. I will not have this in my family."

KC got up and hugged Gil. "How can I ever say no to my Pops?"

"You can't Mrs. Hardy," Jeff said with a smile when she gave him a dirty look.

"I promise we will all talk tomorrow," KC said kissing Gil on the forehead. "I'm going to say goodbye to MC." KC walked down the steps and started talking to her son.

"She's a good woman Jeff."

"I know Daddy."

The next day…

Jeff stood by the window looking out for his brother's car. Gil had called to let them know the "stooges" were on their way over.

"You ready for this," he asked KC as he felt her approach behind him. She sighed as he turned around.

"We don't really have a choice," she said. "I am not mad that they announced us getting married. I am mad that they used my son to do it."

"Did Vince's phone call this morning help at all," Jeff asked.

"It did," KC said with a smile. "Especially after I already know that Stephanie basically kicked her brother's ass from here to tomorrow over it."

"She is one woman I would not want to piss off," Jeff said with a small laugh.

"True," KC said laughing as well. "However I pissed off her fiancé so she wasn't too happy with me either but she understood why we did it."

"So does Chris," Jeff hugged KC and placed a soft kiss on her lips as a car pulled up to the house. They looked out the window as a tentative Matt, Amy and Shannon exited the car.

"Is it me or do they look like dead men walking," KC asked.

"Tsk, tsk, sweetie," Jeff said. "I don't think Mark would appreciate you using his catch phrases." KC swatted Jeff as he headed to open the door.

"Come on in," he told the three lost souls in front of him.

"Hi K," Shannon said with a small smile.

"Why don't we all sit down," KC didn't like the uncomfortable feeling that now resided in her living room. Gil was right; this didn't belong in his family.

"We want to say we are so sorry," Amy started talking but was stopped by KC holding her hand up. Jeff sat on the arm of the chair KC was in and started rubbing her back.

"I think everyone in this room is sorry right now," KC said. "But you are going to let us speak first and then you can comment." She looked at Jeff who nodded.

"I know you all were upset that we just got married without saying a word to anyone," KC began. "But you all need to understand, as your father," she looked at Matt, "does now. We didn't do it to leave anyone out. Nero and I spoke about it after he asked me to marry him the night before, which was something he had been planning for a while." KC looked at Jeff. "I still haven't seen that ring you told me about by the way Nero." Jeff just kissed the top of her head and smiled.

"Anyway," KC continued. "We talked about your wedding," she looked at Matt and Amy. "We remembered the stress and the strain. The production that whole event was. It was beautiful but not us. For us, it was more important that it really was just the two of us and Moore."

"I understand that," Matt interrupted with hurt in his eyes. "But he's my baby brother, you are basically my sister. I wanted to see you two take that step together."

"I know bro," Jeff said finally speaking. "Who knows, maybe one day we'll renew our vows and you all will be a part of it. But as KC said, right now, it was important to us that it was just the three of us."

"I totally get that," Shannon said. "Hey I'm just happy I didn't have to wear a monkey suit again." Everyone laughed which was Shannon's intention.

"Now, on to why I really was upset," KC said bringing the room back to a somber note. "It is one thing that my son is mentioned on air. I can't help that being that every fan knows I had a baby. But I am royally pissed that he was showed on air. That is the one thing I tried to keep him away from and what makes it worse is you all know that." All three put their heads down.

KC looked at Jeff who just shook his head knowing how much their family was upset. "You all knew the battles I have had with Vince in regards to bringing him on camera. I didn't want my son exploited like that and you guys, my family, ended up doing that."

Jeff was very proud of KC. She was holding her temper in even though he could feel the strain vibrating off her body.

"What I don't understand," Jeff said. "Is why couldn't you have just revealed our wedding another way? Why did Moore have to be used?"

Matt, Amy and Shannon looked at each other. Matt finally spoke.

"Honestly," Matt said and Jeff and KC nodded. "I thought it would be cute and Shane thought it would set up a good storyline with Paul. You guys would be twisted cause he used your son to tell a secret. We never thought about it any other way. I know I speak for them, we are so sorry. In defense of Amy and Shannon, they didn't know it was even filmed until five minutes before we were going out there."

"I forgive," KC paused when Jeff coughed and rolled her eyes. "We forgive you guys. Mistakes happen even huge ones like this." KC looked at the relieved faces of those on the couch opposite her.

"I still don't understand something," Jeff said. "Why didn't you guys just ask us if we got married after Moore spilled the beans?" Jeff smiled when they looked at him shocked. "You guys are very transparent plus Moore told us what he told you we all did the other afternoon."

"I wanted to ask," Matt said. "Amy went to find out if it was true first."

"Shannon said to let you tell us," Amy said. "He figured there had to be a reason you guys didn't say anything to us if it was true."

KC looked at Shannon. "Oh my God Reject! You actually had a good idea!"

Everyone laughed as Shannon pouted. "I am allowed to have a good idea once in a while!"

"Is everything cool," Matt asked hopefully.

Jeff and KC looked at each other. KC winked at Jeff. "We are cool," he answered for them.

"In that case," Matt said getting up and opening his arms wide. "Congratulations!"

Jeff got up and walked into his brother's arms returning the hug as KC looked on. A sudden "Umph!" was heard as Shannon landed on KC.

"Congratulations K," he shouted as she tried to push him off her as she laughed.

"Reject," she gasped. "I'm gonna kill you!"

"Don't kill him yet," Amy said as she hugged Jeff. "He may get another good idea and we might miss it."

"Ha ha," Shannon said getting off of KC. He pulled her up and pushed her into Matt's waiting arms.

"I am so glad you are officially my sister," he whispered into her ear kissing her on the cheek.

"I love you too Mattie," KC whispered back.

"Get over here," Amy yelled as Shannon thumped Jeff on the back. Amy hugged and kissed KC as well. "So Mrs. Hardy, how does it feel?"

"Well Mrs. Hardy," KC responded causing more laughter in the room. "It feels unfucking believable!"

"Should we call Daddy and let him know blood was not shed," Jeff asked raising an eyebrow.

"Nah," Matt said taking Amy in his arms. "Let him stew. Besides, I am sure both his grandbabies are keeping him busy."

"Wait," KC said. "He's got a three year old and a three month old over there? We need to go rescue him."

"She has a point," Shannon said scratching his head. "Although, he raised your husbands. If he can handle these two, he can handle anything."

"Hey!" Matt and Jeff yelled causing Shannon to split out of the room with them right on the chase leaving Amy and KC to watch them as they goofed around.

"Shannon should have thought about it before he spoke," KC said causing Amy to look at her puzzled. "Pops raised him basically as well. There is nothing our babies could do to him that those three idiots haven't already done."

"True," Amy said linking arms with her as they headed out to round up all their men.
