ch 15

Saturday morning Faith and Eve flew to New York to see Matt and Jeff in the Roayl Rumble it was a big deal for both of them as Matt was returning from his injuries he suffered during the TLC match and Jeff was going to headline his first major PPV, Faith was excited because she was going to get to see her grandfather, Aunt and second cousins she didn't even know she had. Beth, her parents, her sister and her sister's family were going to be there too, it would be a mini family reunion and she was happy to be part of it. Also the Royal Rumble marked a second exciting time in her life as later that week her dad would be moving to LA and into his new house and there was a surprise that she and Eve had set up for Matt, not even Jeff knew about. They arrived at the airport but with tomorrow being a PPV Matt wasn't able to pick them up he was busy doing a meet and greet along with several other superstars, so he asked a friend that wasn't busy to help him out.

" Okay you must be Faith cause you look just like your dad " Ashley said.

" Yep " she said.

" And you are " Eve asked.

" I'm Ashley, Matt's friend he asked me to pick up up and bring you guys to the hotel " she told them. Eve right "

" Yes and thank you for coming to get us " Eve said.

" It's not a problem Matt is a good friend of mine so I'm happy to help him out " Ashley told her. " The hotel isn't far from here " she said as they loaded bags into the trunk.

" Is Matt coming back to the hotel " Eve asked.

" Actually he's there the meet and greet was right there in the hotel lounge so it made it real easy, I think he has a photo shoot and an interview to do though, then the show is at six so he'll have to head over to the arena "

" Wow he's busy " Faith gasped.

Ashley nodded " And that is a light schedule, I haven't seen Jeff since two days ago and that was just for a breife second coming out of the hotel and getting into the limo, he's slammed " she told them.

" Well I know one place we'll see him and that's when he wins the title from Randy Orton " Faith said.

" That's right " Ashley grinned.

They got to the arena and who should be getting out of the limo infront of them but Jeff, he was litterly mauled by fans, having papers and books shoved into his face, he signed all he could then security excorted him inside.

" Come on we'll go in the other side and maybe we can catch him before he runs off " Ashley said.

Inside was just as crazy people were doing all they could to get his attention " HEY HARDY " Ashley yelled and Jeff turned around, he saw Ashley and waved but then he saw Eve and Faith, he handed the person their autograph, posed for a picture and made his way over to them.

" Hey kiddo " he said hugging her. " So what do you think of all this " he asked.

" It's crazy " she agreed.

Jeff reached into his back pocket and pulled out two VIP tags he had some and Matt had some so whoever saw them first would give them the passes.

" I think you dad is still in the lounge these will get you backstage to him, I have to go hun but I'll see you at dinner, grandpa is in there too " he said giving her another hug.

" How you doing hun " Eve asked as he gave her a hug too.

" Man its crazy my head is spinnin and I haven't even seen Beth and she's been here since Thursday " he told her.

" You be carful " Eve told him and security excorted him through the crowd.

" Are you ready to do battle and go see Matt " Ashley asked them.

" Bring it on nothing stands between me and my dad " Faith laughed.

" I like you " Ashley said putting her arm around Faith's shoulders. " Now stick together " she warned.

Where Matt was had to be the wildest place in the hotel, people were waiting clear out of the building to get in, they walked to the front of the line and showed security their passes, some people started to yell for Ashley so she signed some autographs then took them to where Matt was sitting at the table signing. They waited behind the curtian, Matt got up to take a picture with some fans and as he was going to sit back down he saw Faith and Eve, he held up ten finger to let them know he would be getting a break soon. The next perosn in line was very entheaustic and jumped into Matt's arms, securty was ready to react but Matt was able to get her under control without their help.

" Oh my God that woman just pounced on dad " Faith cried.

Eve watched him " I think your dad can handle it " she told her.

Finally Matt got a break he grabbed his water off the table and walked over to where Faith and Eve were standing.

" I'm sorry I can't spend much time with you guys " he applogized.

" Its okay " Faith said. " Are you alright " she asked. " That woman about knocked you over "

Matt laughed " Yeah hun I'm good " he assured her. " You meant up with Uncle Jeff " he said pointing the the pass.

" Yeah in the lobby " Eve told him.

" He's been running the last two days but we get some time to ourselves later so we thought we'd all meet for dinner " Matt said mostly to Eve.

" Jeff told us that too, it sounds nice " she said.

Some comotion started back out at the tables and Eve herd them anounce that Lita would be singing autographs for the next hour, she didn't know she was even still part of the company. Matt looked out then turned his attention back to them, he glanced at his watch and said.

" I better get back out there, so I'll see you guys tonight " he asked. " Oh I booked you in the room with me we were pertty much over booked " he told them.

" Oh alright " Eve said.

" Here's the extar key I'll see you later " he said and gave Faith a hug, as soon as Matt stepped out a Hardy chant started.

" They love him " Eve said.

" Me too " Faith told her then they went up to the room.

The first thing they noticed was the mess, Matt litterly had things strung from one side of the room to the other but Eve knew he was busy and probalby only comes in changes and leaves, she began to gather things up for him.

" No ice, I'll be right back " Faith said.

" Be careful, its quiet up here but still " Eve said.

" I will " Faith said and grabbed the ice bucket, she walked down the hall to the ice machine another girl was there doing the same, she turned and looked at Faith.

" I've seen you some where before " she said with a distinct southren drawl.

" I'm sorry but I don't reconize you " she said.

The girl smiled " Now I know you're Matt Hardy's daughter right " she asked.

" Um " Faith stuttered not knowing what to say.

" Word of advice Faith don't walk the halls with that pass, people will kill for one " she said.

Faith put a protective hand over her pass and the girl laughed " Don't worry I'm not one of them "

" One of who " Faith asked.

" One of the girls that pretends to be your friend just to get close to your daddy " she said. " I'm Shawna Calaway " she extended her hand.

" Faith Ma, uh Hardy " she said.

" Yeah my momma did that too had me use her madian name for a long time, but with the internet, people know who ya are " she said.

" I'm sorry I still don't know you " Faith said.

" Mark Calaway is my daddy, oh that's right you just got together with your daddy, Mark Calaway is the Undertaker " she said then Faith knew who she was.

" Oh okay, sorry I didn't know by the name but how did you know about me not knowing my dad for so long " she asked.

" Rumors run rampid around here and if you think women gossip you have a thing to learn about

wrestlers " she said. " So your daddy down there in that mess " she asked.

Faith nodded " Yeah " she said.

" I saw my daddy a total of two hours in the last three days, he's been doing this and that then by the time he gets back he's so sore and tired he just crashes on the bed until he gets up and does it again the next day "

" Is it always like this " Faith asked.

" During three brand PPV's yeah pretty much " Shawna said.

" What is that "

" Its when all three brands, RAW, Smackdown, and ECW all have wrestlers in one show "

" Oh like tomorrow night " she asked.

" Yup "

" What's a normal show like " she asked.

" Well they're busy but not as much and wouldn't ya know it my week had to fall during a PPV " she sighed.

" You week " Faith asked.

" Yeah my parents are divorced, most are so I stay with my momma and once a month I stay with my daddy, you'll see it gets to be a hassel "

" Yeah " Faith frowned at the thought.

" But it has its perks, later on I'm going to the mall you want to come " she asked.

" I'll have to ask my mom " Faith said.

" Alright, you have a cell " she asked pulling hers out.

" Yeah " Faith pulled hers from her pocket.

" Dial this number then we'll have each others number " Shawna told her and she did. " Alright well see ya later Faith "

When she got back to the room she asked Eve about the mall and she sighed " I dunno we don't even know her I think we should go ask your dad " she said.

" You can go down there I'm not " Faith said not wanting to battle through that crowd again.

Eve rolled her eyes " Alright stay in here and don't open the door for anyone but, well you know " she said and opened the door.

Downstairs the meet and greet was wrapping up and Eve saw Matt talking with some of the other guys, she walked over but waited until he was done, he turned and saw her.

" Hey " he smiled and put his arm around her leading her away from the group. " What's up " he asked.

" Faith was invited by a Shawna Calaway to go to the mall, I just wanted to know if its cool to let her go or if I should say no " she asked.

" Hold up a second " Matt said and looked around for Taker, he saw him over by the coffee and walked Eve over with him.

" Hey Matt what going on " Mark asked.

" Not much, hey did you okay Shawna going to the mall " Matt asked.

" Yeah she's sixteen now, why " he asked.

" Cause she invited my daughter to go and her momma wanted to make sure it was all good " Matt said.

" Yeah, it's supposed to be a group thing Flair's kids are going, Penny Holly, JBL's kid, Duggan's daughter, the younger one "

" Amber " Matt asked.

" Yeah and Suzan is the one driving so I trust them, besides Shawna knows better " he laughed.

Matt laughed too " Oh sorry this is Eve, my daughter's mom, this is Taker " Matt said.

" Hello Mr. Taker " Eve replied.

He laughed " You can call me Mark darlin " he said and shook her hand.

" Alright " Eve blushed a bit.

" I better get in here " Mark said. " Later Matt, nice to meet ya Eve "

" You too " she said.

" We're getting ready to head into a meeting " Matt said walking back to the doors when they got there he stretched his back.

" Sore " Eve asked.

Matt laughed " My ass is and I can't even strighten my fingers I've wrote my damn name so many times " he said.

Eve rolled her eyes " I meant your back you ass " she said.

" I know its good right now, Jeff is the one I'm worried about " Matt said and shook his head " He's been doing some crazy stuff and hes hurtin from it "

" Yeah I saw, Faith screamed and I came running in when they showed the replay, that was insane "

" Jeff called me and said he freaked out my kid, I was like man I think you freaked out everyone, I mean I know he knows what he's doing but until he lands it and he's alright I'll admit I hold my breath too, expecially if I'm not out there "

" I could never be out there " Eve stated.

Everyone was passing on their way into the meeting " I better get in there, I'll see ya in a couple of hours for dinner " he turned to go the stopped " Hey Eve "

She turned around too " Yeah "

" Thanks for coming " he said.

" I wouldn't have missed it " she said and they went their seperate ways.

As she was walking out she saw Amy walking in and there were a few tense seconds before either one spoke, it was Eve that broke the ice so to speak.

" Hi " she said.

" How's it going " Amy asked.

" Good, you " Eve replied.

" Good, is Matt in there already " she asked.

" Yeah he just went in " she told her.

Amy frowned " Okay well I gotta go " she said and they parted ways, Eve couldn't help but wonder what Amy had to say to Matt. it didn't seem like it was just a friendship thing, it seemed important.

She was about to go into the elevator when she saw Amy run into the bathroom, she looked like something was wrong so she went in after her.

" Amy are you in here " she called.

Damn Amy thought. " Yeah I'm in here what did you need " she asked.

" Nothing I saw you run in here and I just wanted to see if you were alright " she asked.

Amy rolled her eyes " Yeah I'm great I just had to go ya know "

" Oh okay " Eve said.

Amy sighed relieved but before Eve left she felt her stomach churn and without warning up came her lunch into the toliet bowl.

" Amy are you okay " Eve asked.

Amy came out " Yeah I think I'm coming down with something I "

Eve shook her head " You're not sick Amy, you're pregnant " she said. " Is it Matt's " Eve asked knowing she really shouldn't ask.

Amy nodded " Yeah I came here to tell him but I " she paused. " I'm not so sure now "

Eve's heart sank " You have to tell him Amy, don't make the same mistake I did and hurt him "

" I take it Matt told you how our relationship ended " she asked and Eve nodded, " So then you know why this is so difficult "

" Are you still with Edge " Eve gasped not being able to recall his name.

" We're kinda an off and on thing but yeah we've been seeing each other, he doesn't know " Amy told her.

Eve shook her head " It doesn't matter you still have to tell him Amy, he has the right to know "

" You didn't seem to think so " Amy lashed out.

Eve was taken a back by her harsh words " It was different for Matt and I we were just kids and, no there's no excuse for what I did it was wrong and I have to live with it everyday, look Amy were no friends I wouln't even call us aquiantences but we do have one thing in common and that is we both care about Matt so I'll say this, if you don't tell him then I will "

" Even if it means you will never get to be the family you want to be, yeah I've seen you with him, you practaly play the role of his wife Eve, so don't go threatening me unless you are willing to play hard ball, because honey all I have to do is snap my fingers and Matt will come running once I tell him I'm carrying his baby " she said snapping them in Eve's face.

" What about Edge " Eve asked with sarcasium.

Amy laughed " Adam, why would I keep him if I can have Matt " she said.

Eve walked out of the bathroom and nearly right into Gilbert Hardy, but didn't look up she felt the tears welling in her eyes and she didn't want to give Amy the satisfaction.

" Are you in such a hurry you can't stop to say hi " he asked and she turned around, he saw the look on her face. " Eve are you okay " he asked and gave her a hug.

Eve broke the hug " Yeah um I just got some news, uh one of the patients I've been caring for is in bad shape, I know its Matt and Jeff's big night tomorrow but I really need to be with her I sorta promised " she lied, she was getting good at this.

" I understand, but can Faith stay I'll keep an eye on her, it would kill Matt if she left " he pleaded his son's case.

" Oh yeah I would never take her, uh make her leave " she changed her words.

" Okay " Gilbert smiled. " I wish your friend the best " he said.

Eve went up to the room and told Faith that she needed to go home but she could stay with her grandfather, she told her what room he was in and if she needed anything to just call him or Beth.

" Aren't you going to go tell dad " she asked.

" I would but he's in a meeting right now and "

Before she could finish the sentence the door opened and Matt walked in " Are you going some where " he asked seeing her with the bags.

" Um yeah there's a problem with one of my patients and she trusts me so I need to go, I'm sorry " she said.

Matt placed his hands on her shoulders " No I understand, is Faith going too "

" No I ran into your dad and he's going to keep track of her, so just me " she told him.

" Okay, wow I'm sorry about your friend " he said and that made her feel worse for lying to him. damn why does he have to be so understanding she thought.

" What are you doing up here I thought you had a meeting " she asked.

Matt took her bags and shoulder one while carrying the other " Cancled for now " he said. " I'll walk ya out " he offered.

Eve nodded and gave a forced smile she wanted so bad to tell him but knew it wasn't her place, she also knew she couldn't look him in the eyes and lye to him until Amy told him, if she told him at all.

" Thanks " she said and they walked to the elevator.

The doors opened and inside was Amy, Eve about gasped but stifeled it, Amy saw her and Matt together, Matt carrying her bags and gave her a strange look.

" Hey Aimes what's up " Matt asked.

Amy recoved quickly " Not much you "

" Busy. busy " he said.

Amy looked at Eve " Are you leaving already " she asked.

" Yeah I made a promise that I intend to keep " she said Amy knowing forwell what she meant.

The elevator stopped on the third floor and Amy got out " Later " she said.

" Later " Matt waved and Eve couldn't believe she didn't even say they needed to talk.

Matt flagged down a cab " You have money for the cab and all " he asked.

Eve nodded " Yeah I'm good " she said.

" Okay " Matt said and the driver loaded her bags into the trunk. " Well take care, i'll bring Faith back with me on Monday " he said is that alright if she misses a day of school.

" Um yeah " Eve said more distracted with Amy's news than Faith missing a day of school.

" Good " Matt smiled and gave her a hug, she felt so guilty as she got into the cab, she saw him standing there waiting for them to pull away.

Just as the cabby was about to pull out a limo pulled infront of him blocking the way, Eve got out and called to Matt who was walking back into the hotel.

" MATT " she yelled his name and he turned around and walked back.

" I can't do this " she said. " I can't let you be kept from another child "

" What are you talking about Eve " he asked.

She gathered her courage " Matt Amy is pregnant and its yours " she said and Matt's jaw dropped to the ground.
