Chapter 12- the new editions.
Matt passed out in the waiting room of the hospital, Taker too was asleep, and he didn't know the young Hardy was passed out on his lap. A small shake came to the Deadman, Kane had woken him up. "Take…. Taker?" he whispered lowly.
Incoherent grunts came from the Deadman before he fully stirred. Checking his watch it was seven am. "What?" he asked.
"Lee can go home now… Come on, I need your help"
Taker got up not before he jumped as Matt hit the ground hard. He too awoke to the sudden jolt. "OW!" growled Hardy.
"How the hell was I supposed to know you were asleep on my lap?" Taker demanded.
Kane rolled his eyes as he went to check on Lee. She was already wide awake and holding her twin boys. "You seem bright eyed and bushy tailed" Kane announced to her.
"I was sedated for a few hours… don't think I didn't enjoy it" she replied, her wit was as quick as ever.
Taker and Matt soon found their way into the room. Matt instantly went to the babies as he took one from her arms. "Oh look at him. What's his name?" he asked.
"Kane" Lee simply stated.
"Really?" Taker asked.
"It was that or Kratos… I think Kane is cool" She explained.
"Oh Kratos is a kick ass name! It's Greek for strength" Matt replied.
"Well his brother has it" Kane said with a smirk.
Taker stared at him oddly. "You named your kid after a video game character?!"
"Kratos is an old Greek name!"
"You ain't Greek last I checked!"
"Batista suggested it" Lee chimed in. "He's Greek"
"And Pilipino, but lets get you home first before you change these kids name to something you'll regret!" Taker muttered.
"I picked the name Kratos!" Kane growled lowly. "Besides, his full name is Kratos Justin Jacobs."
"He can always go with his middle name if he gets embarrassed about his first. But I have always liked that name. Kratos" Lee muttered.
She was helped into a wheelchair as Matt held the twins, Lee had never seen him so happy to hold children before, and the boys were well behaved in the temporary stranger's arms.
Lee fell asleep back to the hotel, Taker and Matt took the better part of the night to put in a child car seat. Taker however was rather frustrated with it. "I've had four kids, you think I would know this by now?" he muttered that night. It was what caused Matt and himself to fall asleep later that day.
The moment they came to the hotel room, Vince McMahon was waiting for them. Lee held her newborns in her arms. Instantly she saw the softer side of Vince. "Can… can I hold one?" he asked.
Lee nodded as she passed him little Kane. When he questioned about their names, he laughed aloud to them. "Interesting choices!"
"I've always liked the name Kane!" Lee explained, Kratos though… well… that was big Kane's idea. "I'm going to have to start calling you Glen"
"To avoid confusion" laughed Vince. He couldn't take his eyes off of the babies and just fell in love with them instantly.
It wasn't long before other members of the locker room came to see the new editions. Khali in particular, he could hold both newborns in one arm, yet opted not to. Everyone took turns holding the babies, Kane beamed with pride to his sons. He knelt down and whispered to Lee. "You need anything, any time. I will be there for you"
She smiled and thanked him, despite what had happened. It was a great blessing to Lee to have children, and the fact she wasn't alone made it all the more easier.
As the weeks passed, Lee found herself back in the storylines with Kane. She had been cleared to wrestle and was in one of the writer's meetings. She had left a glass bottle on the table for Kratos' feeding yet it soon vanished. But it reappeared in the most unlikely places. She was talking over the storylines with the writers when Michael Hayes pulled out the bottle from the mini fridge. "I've been looking for that!" Lee announced.
Hayes shrugged his shoulders as he poured the contents into his coffee, Lee didn't try and stop as she found it very amusing. She waited for Hayes to take a sip of his beverage before he commented on the taste.
"What the hell kind of milk is this!" he demanded aloud.
There were snickering noised heard around the table, Ranjin in particular lost it aloud as the Deadman fell to the floor laughing. "Hayes, that's not regular milk" Lee explained gently.
"Where the hell did you get it?" he demanded.
Kane suddenly walked in. "Lee, I couldn't find the other bottle with the breast… milk…" He froze the moment he saw half of it was in Hayes' coffee… needless to say Michael Hayes took the rest of the day off, feeling unwell.
