I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S, AND I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO WRITE A NINE-YEAR OLD, I HAVE A FRIEND THAT HAS A NINE YEAR OLD, AND I AM JUST WRITING HOW HE WOULD ACT.
Their Point of View-
"What is going on?" Matt asked as Maddie walked out from the bathroom.
"I was being abused by my parents, I came over here last night, I talked to Jeff and Fin, and they called Child Services. They came out here today, they analyzed the situation, and I and Beniot are now adopted children of Shannon and Fin." Anita explained.
"Technically, their all of our kids, but we are their legal guardians." Shannon said.
"They are my mom and dad." Beniot said as he jumped up onto Shannon.
"Way to go you guys, we have a flight to catch." Toes said as everyone went to pack and shower, or what not to get ready for the flight. Jeff called for a limo to pick them up; it will be cool for Beniot. Shannon took Beniot out back to wrestle around with him in the ring. Fin packed the dogs up, Anita sat on the couch watching television.
"You got the rings?" Gregory asked in a whispered voice.
"Yes, it's in my suitcase." Fin said as she ran upstairs and grabbed her belt, she set it in the pile of bags that has been piling up.
"What are we going to do with the living situation in North Carolina?" Maddie asked as she sat down on the couch next to Anita.
"I have two guest rooms in my house. Maddie can sleep in my room, Anita and Beniot could get one room, and the other one could be for anyone else." Matt said.
"I will stay in the extra one." Fin said.
"I might stay the night as well." Shannon said entering the house with Beniot over his shoulder.
"Does everyone know about the get together tomorrow?" Maddie asked.
"Yeah, I texted or emailed everyone myself." Gregory said.
"We have a lot of stuff." Toes said as she put her stuff in the pile.
"Matt, do you think our father would be okay with Anita and Beniot?" Jeff asked.
"Yes, he will love them none stop." Matt said tickling Anita.
"You know what, if you go on tour with us, you will be able to see Cena." Jeff said joking with Anita.
"Shut up." Anita said as Jeff sat down next to her.
"What about your boyfriend?" Jeff asked in a whisper manner as the limo arrived.
"I didn't have a boyfriend, I made him up because I felt uncomfortable bring up this abuse thing to you." Anita said as she stood up to help carry things to the limo.
"Come on Willow Teddy, come here." Fin said as she pulled them into their carrying bags. They each helped the limo driver carrying things out to the trunk and setting them in there, Shannon took Beniot in the back and held him out the sunroof, at least he was entertained.
"Let's roll!" Maddie said as they climbed into the limo.
"So, you excited to be on tour?" Matt asked looking at Anita and Beniot.
"Yes, it's awesome." Beniot said as he sat on Shannon's lap.
"Do you like flying little guy?" Gregory asked.
"Yes, flying like in an airplane? It is fun I guess." Beniot said as Anita just kept on looking out the window.
"We are going to have so much fun you two." Matt said pinching both their knees, Beniot squirmed and Anita giggled.
"Is that a ticklish spot?" Toes asked as she started tickling her knee.
"Stop…stops…" Anita said giggling.
"We are here." Maddie said as they opened the doors, they filed out, each person grabbed at least three bags, Beniot had his backpack and his suitcase, Maddie and Fin had to use their carryon as the belt.
"Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it's off to work we go." Jeff said hanging onto Beniots hand and skipping with him.
"I love snow white and the seven dwarves." Beniot said as he sung along with Jeff.
"Do you always wait in line?" Anita asked.
"Yes ma'am, do you have an iPod and/or a phone?" Fin asked.
"Yes, here's my iPod, I left my phone at their house, I figured that I will get a new one since you have a different plan." Anita said.
"We'll get you a new phone ASAP, does Beniot have a phone?" Toes asked.
"They said he was too young to have one." Anita said.
"He's going to get a phone because I will miss talking to this little man." Shannon said as he held Beniot upside by his leg, Beniot was giggling.
"Give me your iPod." Fin said as Anita pulled out her iPod handing it to Fin. Fin turned it on, she started searching through it, and Shannon looked at it over her shoulder.
"What you looking for?" Anita asked.
"Making sure their age appropriate for you." Shannon said as he set Beniot down, he was still giggling away. Fin turned it off and handed it back to Anita, they were next in line.
"Have you had the talk with your parents?" Toes asked.
"I had a little one when I first you know, but they never really talked about the man and woman together thing." Anita said, "But I know not to do it until I am ready, I was taught that." She said winking at Jeff, Jeff smiled.
"Do what?" Beniot asked.
"You will find out when your older little guy." Matt said as Fin, Anita and Beniot went up to the counter, Fin checked them in, giving them their suitcases, and they got their tickets.
"Come on kids." Fin said grabbing Beniot's hand, they walked to a bench to wait for the others, after got their tickets and checked bags in, they rode the escalator upstairs. They went through the security check point.
"Come on Beniot, let's take off your shoes." Jeff said as Beniot took off his shoes, Jeff set Beniot's bag and shoes on the security cart. They all walked through the metal detector. Everyone put their shoes on, they grabbed their things, and making sure they didn't leave behind the belts. They got to the terminal; they were the only wrestlers there.
"Figures, we are the only ones going to North Carolina." Gregory said as he sat on a seat, Toes sat down on his lap.
"Our plane is on time, and it is 11:25 now, so we have about 50 minutes until our plane boards." Fin said looking at the screen.
"Does anybody have to use the bathroom before we get on the plane?" Fin asked, Anita, Beniot, Maddie, Fin, Matt, and Jeff had to go. Matt and Jeff grabbed Beniot's hand, they went into the bathroom.
Maddie's Point of View-
"Anita, I am glad you're waiting for us, but I need to talk to Maddie, alone." Fin said as she dried her hands and escorted Anita to the door.
"Alright mother." Anita said smiling.
"You wanted to talk to me?" I asked.
"I have been talking to Jeff about your sickness; we have a little theory at why you're sick." Fin said.
"That is?"
"Have you ever considered maybe you're pregnant?" Fin asked as she slowly walked closer to me, I was shocked, I thought about it for a little while. I leant against the sinks and remembered that night with Matt. "Is it even possible?" Fin asked.
"Yes, it's possible. I messed up, I mean, I didn't remember, and he didn't either." I said.
"We don't even know if you are or not, I thought I always told you no glove no love." Fin said.
"I am sorry, are you mad at me?"
"No, Maddie, we don't even know if you are or not, the only way to be sure is to take a test. I am sure we can get Jeff to go buy one and you can take it tomorrow while he is in the backyard with his friends." Fin said.
"What if I am?"
"Then you're going to carry it, have it and love it to death." Fin said.
"But I can't wrestle with a baby in me." I said.
"You can wrestle until you start showing, which you haven't yet, and then we will drop the belts, or we can talk to Vince and work it out." Fin said.
"Do you think he will stay with me through this?"
"Yes, look how he is with Beniot, he will love you more and love that kid to death." Fin said.
"Okay." I said.
"We don't even know if you are pregnant, at least not until the test tomorrow." Fin said as she hooked arms with me, we walked back out, sat down, and chat with the others.
Their Point of View-
"I am hungry." Beniot said as it was now 11:45.
"Come on little guy, let's go buy you a snack. Anybody else hungry or thirsty?" Fin asked as she stood up and grabbed Beniot's hand.
"I'll come with." Jeff said grabbing Beniot's other hand.
"I will take water." Maddie said.
"You know what I like." Matt said, Shannon and Toes said the same.
"Whatever you get Toes, I will have the same." Gregory said.
"I'll have a Pepsi and a can of Pringles." Anita said.
"Coming right up." Fin said as they walked away.
"What is going on tomorrow?" Anita asked.
"We are having a get together at my house so my father can meet you guys, and meet all my friends." Matt said.
"Cool, anybody my age?" Anita asked.
"There might be a few kids around yours or Beniot's age." Gregory said.
"Does your dad like kids?" Anita asked looking at Matt.
"You can call him grandpa; he will call you granddaughter since you kind of going to be sometime." Matt said.
"Would he be okay with that?" Toes asked.
"Yes, he loves being called dad and granddad." Matt said.
"Sweet, I never was able to visit any of my relatives when I lived with my real parents." Anita said.
"Well, we are technically one big happy family, you can call me Uncle." Matt said.
"Me too." Gregory said.
"So if I yelled Uncle, both of you would turn?" Anita asked.
"It'll be funny though." Toes said as Anita stopped talking, she pulled out her iPod popping in her ear buds.
"I love kids, we just got a teenager, now we have to raise another teenager, are you sure your dad is going to handle them?" Maddie asked looking at Matt.
"Dude, he dealt with him and Jeff, he can do it." Gregory said giggling.
"I know right." Toes said as Fin, Beniot and Jeff came back with two bags full of stuff.
Jeff's Point of View-
"Thanks for coming, I talked to Maddie about our theory, and apparently, it can be possible." Fin said.
"What can be possible?" Beniot asked.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked.
"Tomorrow, I want you to go out and buy the test, maybe say you have to go buy something else so she can be there to meet your dad, when you return, we will go to his upstairs bathroom, he does have an upstairs bathroom?" Fin said ignoring what Beniot was saying.
"Does she know that I know?" I asked.
"I told her, she is worried about Matt and how he would take it if it is true." Fin said as Beniot finally caught our attention by stepping on our feet.
"Hey there Beniot." I said.
"What is going on?" He asked.
"It's a grown up matter, we will explain it when you get older." Fin said kissing his forehead as we walked into a store.
"I feel so fat grabbing all this soda and snacks." I said.
"I know, and I am the one walking around with a WWE belt." Fin said as they grabbed all the drinks, they went to the snack aisle.
"What do you want little fellow?" I asked squatting down next to Beniot, he grabbed the Oreos. "Good choice." I said as I grabbed myself a bag of beef jerky.
"What type of Pringles does your sister like?" Fin asked as Beniot pointed to the red can, Fin picked it up as she grabbed a few snacks for her, Maddie and Toes, I grabbed Gregory's, and Matt's. We went to the cash register; they bagged it into two bags.
"What type of test should I buy?" I asked.
"I will tell you later." Fin said.
"Beniot, can you keep our conversation quiet?" I asked as I did the hush symbol.
"Yes Jeff." Beniot said smiling and giggling, I picked him and carried him back to the others.
Their Point of View-
It's now noon when they got back with the snacks, and they handed them out.
"Thanks you." Anita said as Beniot did the same.
"Food, food." Gregory said as he ate his food quickly.
"Someone was hungry." Toes said.
"Sorry." Gregory said as Beniot was pretty much finished with his Oreos.
"Anita, you and Beniot have coach, will you be okay watching Beniot and getting on the plane safely?" Fin asked.
"Yes ma'am, I can figure it out." Anita said as Fin pulled out her phone.
"Here's my phone, if you get lost or need us for any reason on the plane, call Toes phone." Fin said.
"Mom, we got." Anita said taking the phone and putting it in her pocket when first class, kids traveling alone and anybody that needed assistance was announced for their flight.
"Actually, you're getting in line with us." Shannon said as he grabbed Beniot's hand, Anita gave the phone back to Fin.
"During the flight, we will come back and check on you." Toes said pointing at Anita.
"Alright, I have Beniot's coloring sheet, his stuffed dog, a DVD player for him and I also have paper for him to draw on." Anita said.
"Snacks?" Jeff asked.
"Yes, I grabbed a couple of things at the house and they give us drinks and nuts." Anita said as they handed the stewardess our tickets. The original 7 found their seats, Fin stood in the aisle way to make sure they got in their seats okay.
"Ma'am, you have to sit down, people have to get by." The stewardess said.
"Sorry." Fin said sitting down next to Shannon.
"They will be fine." Maddie said looking back at her.
"What are we going to do about their last name, there is so many last names floating about in our group, and since they are going to school and everything?" Fin asked.
"Change it to Moore, Hardys or Helms." Gregory said.
"Well, I think that it should be Moore since that is their technical new father's name." Fin said.
"But, if they are staying with my dad and he signs their papers saying Hardy, won't they be confused?" Matt asked.
"Not if we explain it to the school." Jeff said.
"True, if he is going to be their guardians for up to a month or so at time, unless if we sign it on weekends." Toes said.
"Sometimes you have to turn in the paperwork the next day though." Shannon said.
"We'll figure it out when we get there." Fin said as she leant out into the walkway to check on them. Within another 25 minutes, they took off, and were able to walk about. Fin and Shannon stood up and walked back to Anita and Beniot.
"They are going to be great parents." Jeff said standing up and leaning against the seats that are now empty from Fin and Shannon.
"Yeah, I want to be a father one day." Gregory said.
"Not anytime soon." Toes said.
"Maybe soon." Gregory said.
"We'll talk about it later." Toes said.
"What about you Matt?" Maddie asked.
"I love kids, I can't wait to have any, but I wish we were married first." Matt said.
"What if you're not married and you end up having a kid?" Toes asked.
"I will still love it." Matt said as Shannon and Fin came back and sat down.
"Thanks for joining us." Gregory said.
"I am tired, I am sleeping." Fin said as she got comfortable on Shannon and was out, Shannon fell asleep soon after, everyone took turns looking back at the two kids. One time Anita brought Beniot up because he had to potty. Jeff took him, even though he could go alone, but Beniot felt more comfortable with someone else with him.
"We will start descending, so will you please take your seats." The stewardess said as Jeff took Beniot back to his seat next to Anita and came back.
"Come on love couple, you need to sit up and buckle in." Maddie said shaking them awake. Fin and Shannon sat up and buckled in.
"I am sorry for falling asleep, are the kids okay?" Fin said.
"Yep, no problems what so ever." Toes said.
"That's good." Shannon said.
"What are we doing after we land?" Maddie asked.
"I have to go shopping for stuff for the get together." Matt said.
"I'll do the shopping if you want bro." Jeff said.
"You sure?" Matt asked.
"I'll go with him." Maddie said.
"I am taking a nap." Fin said.
"I will probably take Beniot swimming in the backyard." Matt said.
"In on that." Gregory said as Shannon, and Toes agreed.
"I guess I can go swimming as well." Fin said as they safely landed on the ground.
"Don't you have your Hummer here?" Maddie asked as they waited for Anita and Beniot to make up to them.
"No, I got a ride from a friend. We have to take a cab or a limo." Shannon said as Beniot got there but Anita wasn't, Jeff pulled him into his row.
"Where's your sister?" Toes asked.
"I left her back there." Beniot said as in a couple more people Anita came.
"I know, I should have been holding onto his hand." Anita said as everyone stood up and got into the walkway to walk off.
"We are riding in another limo?" Beniot asked.
"Nope little buddy, we are taking a cab." Matt said grabbing his hand as they made it to baggage claim. Anita was on the look out for hers and Beniot's bag. Everyone pulled off their bags, and they did a bag count, they had all their bags surprisingly enough since they had SO much luggage. They walked outside and flagged down a cab.
"It is nice out here, very green." Anita said.
"I see trees." Beniot said as Gregory helped him into the cab, Gregory set him on his lap.
"Do you like climbing trees?" Gregory asked.
"I want a club house; may we have a club house?" Beniot asked looking at his new mom and dad through the trunk door.
"Maybe." Shannon said smiling as they were able to fit their entire luggage into the trunk, they climbed in, Anita sat on Jeff's lap, and everyone else got a seat.
"Does your dad know we are home?" Maddie asked looking at Matt.
"Yeah, he knows tomorrow to come over." Matt said nodding. The cab pulled onto the dirt road, and Anita just looked around.
"You live in the middle of the forest?" Anita asked.
"We do." Jeff said pointing at him and his brother.
"I live on a paved road." Shannon said.
"Me too." Gregory said.
"I thought you would like the fresh air out here." Fin said patting Anita's leg.
"I will, I love nature." Anita said.
"Don't set it on fire like your uncle Matt." Jeff said.
"You played with fire?" Beniot asked looking at Matt.
"I was young and stupid, but you know better right?" Matt asked.
"Yes, I know not to play with matches." Beniot said as Anita nodded in agreement when they pulled up to Matt's house.
"Let's lug all these suitcases into the house, and then we will worry about the sleeping arrangements." Matt said as they climbed out as Matt unlocked the door carrying Teddy and Willow up to his room with Lucas walking behind him. Matt locked Lucas, Teddy and Willow in his room.
"Now the dogs are locked up we can leave the door open." Jeff said as they started carrying all the bags in, man was that living room crowded.
"Now, we have Jeff's house which isn't that far, he has like two guest rooms, and I have two in here." Matt said.
"Okay, I am staying in your room." Maddie said.
"Anita, Beniot, Shannon and I in Matt's house." Fin said.
"Gregory and I can take a room at Jeff's, if that's cool." Toes said, everyone nodded in approval. Toes, Gregory and Jeff walked over to Jeff's house to put their suitcases up, Matt showed Anita and Beniot to their room, as Shannon showed Fin their room. After they unpacked, they let the dogs loose; Lucas had become friends with Willow and Teddy.
"Jeff and I are going shopping, be back later." Maddie said as she grabbed her purse and ran off with Jeff. Jeff bought everything on the list, as Maddie went in look for a pregnancy test. While they were gone, everyone got into their swimsuits, and went into the pool.
"Do you have a fence or something out here to block the dogs in so we can let them out?" Toes asked.
"Yes we do, so they are free to come out." Matt said as he let the three dogs out.
"Mom, may we have a swimming pool in our house?" Beniot asked as he came up from under the water.
"You need to talk to Daddy about that." Fin said as she jumped into the deep in.
"I want to jump!" Beniot said as he climbed out of the pool, Beniot ran and jumped into the deep end, Fin caught him before he got too deep. Everyone applauded for him for the splash he made, Beniot doggie paddled back to the shallow end where Anita was floating at, Matt brought a beach ball, and he tossed it into the pool. They tossed the back and forth, Beniot hit the ball when it came to him because he was in the shallowest part since he was so short until Gregory picked up on his shoulders and took him to the deep end, Anita floated out to the deep end, she kept a float by kicking her feet a lot. We threw the ball around, we were throwing people into the pool, Shannon taught Beniot to push people in, and he even pushed Shannon one time.
"Hey buddy, why'd you push me in?" Shannon asked as he resurfaced.
"I saw Daddy go splash." Beniot said giggling and took off running because he saw Shannon start climbing out. Beniot slipped and fell, he cried a little but he just busted out into laughter.
"You okay little guy?" Matt asked when he walked over to Beniot.
"Yeah, it was funny." Beniot said as Shannon and Matt pulled him to his feet.
"Come on; time to get into your regular clothing." Fin said calling him back into the house.
"But mom…." Beniot said whining.
"Yeah mom…" Shannon said as he picked Beniot up, and he carried him over to Fin.
"How can you say no to that face?" Gregory asked.
"You are going to turn into a big raisin if you swim anymore." Fin said grabbing Beniot and walked him upstairs for him to change back into his clothing as Fin went downstairs to the room she shared with Shannon and changed as well when Jeff and Maddie arrived back from shopping.
"We're back." Maddie yelled as everyone went out to the car to pull out groceries, Maddie ran up stairs to hide the test in her suitcase for the next day.
"Anita, I am glad you're reading a book, but will you please come and carry groceries?" Toes said leaning on the couch next to her.
"Sure." Anita said setting her book down on the coffee table and walked out to the garage with everyone else to carry in the groceries.
"What book were we reading Ms. Anita?" Gregory asked.
"I am reading Wicked; all my friends have read it and I wanted to know what I am missing." Anita said as she grabbed a few bags and walked inside to the kitchen where Jeff and Matt were putting things away in the proper place.
"Wicked, that is an awesome book, I am assuming, I heard it is good." Gregory said walking in as well.
"I read it, I loved it." Fin said as she walked in with a few bags as Maddie and Beniot ran down the stairs.
"I won Aunt Maddie." Beniot said sticking out his tongue.
"You beat me; maybe we should have a rematch later." Maddie said ruffling his hair as she went to help bring in rest of the groceries, Maddie carried in the last two bags.
"Is the schools open tomorrow?" Fin asked.
"The school district is, not sure about the schools themselves, they might be out as well for break." Matt said.
"We don't really pay attention to them because none of us have children." Jeff said.
"What about that Beth chick you were talking about earlier to Karen?" Toes asked.
"Beth, she has one daughter younger than Beniot here, I can give her a call." Matt said.
"I'll do it!" Jeff said.
"Jeff has a crush on her…." Shannon said.
"Why don't you ask her out?" Maddie asked as she helped set stuff away.
"Because….just because." Jeff said.
"At least invite her over for tomorrow?" Fin asked begging a little.
"Fine, I'll invite her over for tomorrow." Jeff said as he dialed her number into the phone.
"Is she nice?" Toes asked.
"Very much so." Gregory said.
"Hey Beth….how are you….I am fine….that's good to hear, got a couple of questions….yeah…..do you know if the schools are open tomorrow?…Uh-huh….no, my friends just moving out here has a couple of kids that are school level, they need to enroll them for the next month or two to finish this year….okay….I have another question, what you doing tomorrow….oh nothing, do you and your daughter want to come over to Matt's place for a get together?…Yeah….you know how to get here right?….yeah….that's right, see you tomorrow about 1ish? Can't wait to see you either, bye." Jeff said.
"Ooohhh….someone has a crush." Maddie said as Jeff turned a slight red.
"Does Jeff like someone?" Beniot asked.
"Yes Beniot, but Jeff won't admit it." Matt said.
"May I go back to reading?" Anita asked as the last bag of food was put away.
"Yes, go get your read on." Gregory said.
"What?" Anita said.
"Don't ask, just something that we said back when we were younger, you wouldn't understand it." Shannon said stepping out of her way.
"You remember when we were younger, and we hated reading or anything that dealt with school?" Maddie asked as they walked out to the living room where Anita was sitting at reading.
"It's going to be loud out here, so if you want to go up to your room and read, you can." Matt said.
"Okay, do you have a computer?" Anita asked.
"I brought my laptop if you want to use it?" Maddie asked.
"What you going to do on the computer?" Toes asked.
"I was going to check my email, and message all my friends about how I moved." Anita said.
"After dinner, but first you go read or whatever." Fin said as Anita ran upstairs to her room; Beniot ran upstairs behind her and ran back down with one of his airplane toys.
"You like airplanes Beniot? Do you have another one I can play with?" Gregory asked.
"Yes, I will go get you one." Beniot said as he ran upstairs and back downstairs with another plane in his hand.
"Which one do I get?" Gregory asked as Beniot handed him the one he just brought down. Gregory and Beniot flew their planes around the house as rest of them sat on the couches relaxing.
"What to do with a teenage girl?" Matt asked.
"Right now she is interested in her book." Shannon said.
"Do you have locks on your windows?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah, why?" Matt asked.
"That is how she escaped to come talk to us the other night." Fin said as Beniot jumped onto her, Toes and Jeff.
"Oh, I should tell my father that if they stay with him." Matt said as Beniot chased Gregory around the house with their planes.
