CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

More to the Secret

April 30, 2007...

Darien paced around waiting for Shawn to arrive. She bit her lip. She wanted to talk to him and wanted to understand why he gave her up to his own brother.

There was a knock on the door.

Darien went to the door and saw Shawn.

"Can I come in?"

"Of course you can."

"I see you got my message."

"Yeah... Uncle... Dad. Who was my mom?"

"The lady you called mom is your mom."

"What?"

"I know... I made a mistake. She was my girlfriend before my brother met her. He was out of state. Well... at least you know that she was your mom."

"Why did you give me up though?"

"We realized that it was going to be hard to raise you Darien. We were two young kids"

"You are Christian."

"I wasn't always a Christian though."

"What do you mean."

"The man you see now is Christian, but a while ago I wasn't one. I had to have a good woman turn me around realizing that I was too crazy."

Darien chuckled. "I am sorry dad. I didn't mean not talking to you for a long time. I am sorry."

"Dear don't worry about me alright. I am glad you forgave me though." he said hugging her.

She returned the hug.

"That's why I was so worried about you being with Lance. I never really liked him."

"I know that dad."

"Dear. I think it is time that we talked about something else."

"Like what?"

"Have you thought about getting a tattoo?"

"Many times. But since you are my dad you would let me get one wouldn't you?"

"Yes. Think about what you want to get."

"Alright I sure will dad."

"Well two weeks ago you did a good job. You made me proud."

"Thanks dad."

"Well what do you want to do now?"

"Well. I got to go out with my boys. So I will be back in about thirty minutes tops. They got a match against MNM again. Joey still hates the fact that his face is deformed." said Darien sighing.

"Well, that kid seems like he has a problem with your boys. You aren't going to let your boys fall are you?"

"No of course not." She said laughing. "Well dad I will see you later."

"Baby girl you just be careful alright."

"I will dad." she said leaving the room. She walked down the hall to meet up with the Hardy Boys. She knocked on their dressing room door. "Are you decent in there?"

"Yeah come on in." said Jeff.

Darien came into the room to see the boys only dressed half way. The both of them in their wrestling pants. Neither one of them had their shirts on yet. She giggled. "You mean to tell me while I forgave my father you two weren't getting dressed fast enough. You knew I was coming down here right?"

"Yeah we knew." said Matt.

"Well then why are you taking so long to get dressed? Hm? Or is it just a guy thing."

"Are you wearing that outfit to the ring?" asked Jeff looking at it.

"Hell no. I got something in my duffle bag." she said going to the bathroom to change. She came back out dressed in a pair of hand made pants and a tank top that had the hardy boys symbol on it. She also had her black wrestling boots on. "Well, you two better be all warmed up because our match is in five."

"Alright we are going out." said Jeff grabbing both of his titles.

Matt just chuckled and got his title.

The three of them headed out to the ring.

Ringside...

MNM's theme song rang throughout the arena.

"This tag team match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the world tag team championship. Making their way to the ring from Los Angeles California accompanied by Melina M.M.!"

MNM came down to the ring. Melina did her normal thing and got into the ring. Mercury and Nitro got into the ring.

Jeff's theme rang throughout the arena.

"And making their way to the ring from Cameron North Carolina accompanied by Darien Michaels The Hardys!"

Jeff and Matt got into the ring. Darien waited outside of the ring.

The bell rang for the match to begin. The match was going great until Melina grabbed onto Jeff's foot. The ref had caught her in the act. The ref said ring the bell and The Hardys won by disqualification.

They headed back stage.

Backstage...

"Melina did that on her own. Wow. I didn't expect her to do something so stupid right when the ref was looking." Said Darien.

"I know but I am glad that we still got the tag team titles while this was going on. There was no way M.M. was going to get it from us." said Jeff.

"You two have been feuding with M.M. for a long time. Why just settle the score?"

"Because MNM isn't like that at all they wouldn't give up and you know that Darien." said Matt.

"True."

Shawn came up to them. "You guys did good out there."

"Thanks Shawn." said both of the Hardys.

"So what are the three of you going to do?"

"We aren't sure yet." Said Matt looking at Shawn. "When do you get back into action?"

"Next month. Hunter will be back then too."

"Wow that's soon. I didn't realize that." said Jeff.

"Well I would understand why you've been working hard to keep yourselves on top. That's all that counts. Plus I know I will be back one week earlier."

"Wow." said Darien.

"I have a match against Edge since he wants revenge."

"You'll win I know you will."

"I hope so. Darien take care of yourself until I get back in two weeks."

Darien nodded her head. "I will dad."

He hugged her. "That's a good girl."

Darien smiled the classic Michaels smile. "Of course."

Shawn left and didn't look back over his shoulder.

"I am surprised that Shawn didn't want you to move in back home." said Jeff.

"I won't be returning home."

"Why?"

"Just because."

"Oh alright."
