Chapter 68

The next morning…

KC slowly opened her eyes enjoying the warmth her husband had her wrapped in.

"Morning," a husky voice whispered into her ear as he nuzzled her neck.

"Mmmm," KC moaned trying to stretch. "How long have you been up?"

"Not that long," he replied. KC smiled as he rested a hand on her belly. She laid hers on top of his.

"Are you happy?"

"You have no idea Kace," he said leaning over her and tenderly kissing her lips. "Is everything ok?"

KC slowly sat up and stretched. "As far as I know, yes. I have to make an appointment with my regular doctor but Dr. Rios didn't think there would be a problem." She knew right away he was nervous because of the brutal miscarriage she had suffered a few years ago. "Everything will be fine. I promise I will take it easy. In fact, I was thinking of asking Vince for a reduced schedule now that Moore is starting school this fall."

It was hard to believe that Moore was ready for kindergarten. It only seemed like yesterday she was cradling him in her arms.

"That's not a bad idea," Jeff said thoughtfully still running his hand against his wife's still flat belly. "I know he needs that stability but it will be hard being away from you guys so much."

"I was thinking that too. I figure I can still do Raw and the PPVs as long as your dad or someone else doesn't mind taking care of MC on Monday's and Tuesday Morning."

"Daddy would love that," Jeff said with a smile. "He loves anytime he can spend with his grandsons." Jeff started laughing causing KC to raise an eyebrow at him. "Sorry baby. I just recalled something Daddy had said the other day. He wanted to know if I every planned on giving Moore a little brother or sister. He thought I was depriving him of it."

KC started giggling too as she slowly got out of bed to headed towards the bathroom. "If only he knew how hard you've been trying these last few…years…he wouldn't have been so concerned."

Jeff smiled as the bathroom door closed. Life is good.

Later that morning…

KC and Jeff snuggled on the couch waiting for Gil to come with their son. They couldn't wait to tell him the good news. The both turned as they heard a car come up the driveway. KC bounced up thinking it was Gil but drew her brows together as Shannon got out of the car.

"Hey Nero, Shannon is here," she said.

"Please go gentle on him," Jeff said with a sigh. "He probably had his reasons."

"I know Jeff, but torturing him is so much fun." KC opened the door before Shannon could even knock and waved him in.

"Reject," she began only to be cut off by Shannon.

"Before you start in let me speak," Shannon said. "I didn't tell anyone about Natalya because I wanted to be sure she stuck. It wasn't something I wanted to hide but I felt I had to."

KC looked thoughtfully at Shannon. "I understand your reasoning Shan, but you have to understand we all thought something was wrong." She wrapped her arms around him in a hug. "So…how's the sex?"

Shannon started laughing as he swung her around. All Jeff could do was look on. He was happy his crazy friend found someone that could be his match.

"Does this mean there is peace in Hardyville again," Jeff asked from his spot in the living room.

Before anyone could answer, the shout of "Momma!" rang through the yard. KC turned and smile as her little boy ran up to hug her.

"Hey punkin," KC said ruffling his hair. "Did you have fun with Pops?"

"Yes momma," Moore said leaving her arms to hug Jeff. "Unca Shannon!" was the next cry heard. Jeff and KC laughed as their son tried tackling his uncle to the ground. As the two began wrestling, Gil walked up behind them.

"Sometimes I wonder who the child is," he said shaking his head with a smile.

KC winked at Jeff. "If MC's this bad now, I wonder how he will be when the new baby gets here."

"He should be fine," Gil said. "Matt was a great with Jeff when he was a baby." Just then Gil looked at his daughter-in-law's smiling face. "Did you say new baby?"

"Yes Dad," KC said. "You got your wish, another grandbaby to spoil."

Gil pulled KC into a hug shocking her. He was not the most affectionate man. "Could I put in a request for a little girl now?"

Jeff laughed at this request. "I don't know Daddy. According to KC all Hardy men do are create more Hardy men."

Gil looked at the girl who had become his daughter of the heart. "I would like to see if this family can produce a girl. Do what you can." He kissed KC on the cheek and headed back out. He was not one for many words sometimes.

Jeff looked at KC and rested his hand on her belly once again. KC leaned into him as she watched her son and friend now settled in front of the TV watching some cartoon. "Do you think we could have a girl Kace?"

"I don't know Nero," KC said placing a gentle kiss on his lips. "Let's just wish and see what happens."
