Life's Lessons

Alice N. Wonderland

Chapter Two

Adrienne sits twisting her ring at the diner. There's a dead silence while the waitress pours her coffee and Cass stirs her hot chocolate.

"Is it anyone I know?"

"Wouldn't' be slightly interesting if it wasn't, would it?"

"Okay you've plugged my interest…"

"It's Matt."

"Matt?"

"Yes"

"Matt Hardy?"

"Yes"

"My brother in law Matt Hardy?"

"Damn Cass yes!"

"Adrienne! Are you INSANE!"

"For a moment I lost my sanity yes…"

"Well all it takes is a moment." Cass breathes in this new information. "And would this have anything to do with the ass kicking Randy gave Matt? Does he have any idea?"

"No, at least I don't think so…"

"Do you love him?"

"Matt? I don't even…"

"That's okay you just answered my question." Cass is trying to keep her composure…. "Randy Adrienne… do you love Randy?"

Adrienne seems offended by this

"He's my husband I MUST love him. I keep forgetting you two had a thing…"

"No, no it wasn't a thing… believe it or not with all this bull shit between Randy and Jeff, Randy is the one who told me to stick it out with my husband."

"So you too had doubt, so don't be all almighty Cassidy Hardy!"

"Look… honey I'm trying to give you some advice so I would take the damn shit!"

"Tell Randy…"

Cass sighs; she really doesn't know what to tell Adrienne….

"Oh man this is quite a ….shitter."

"A child could calm down Randy."

"Don't fool yourself… a child won't calm down a superstar. I'm on number two and my husband just jumped of a lighting rig…"

"It might make him less angry."

"And what if the child is Matt's? Adrienne Matt deserves to know he has a child."

"I know… Are you gonna say anything to him?"

"I won't. But you should. What's done is done, but this is going to ruin people's lives."

"I'm scared."

"Well… you've got a friend."

Cass takes her hand assuringly.

It's the next day and Cass is taking Jeff home. Matt's been babysitting Lil' J. Matt helps Jeff out of the car. Cass feels weird around her brother in law now knowing that Adrienne might be carrying his child.

"Daddy"

"Hey little man give daddy some love"

Lil J runs up to his daddy and Jeff grimaces as he embraces his son... matt carefully pries the child away flying him across the room as Cass helps Jeff into the recliner.

"Now doc said if you don't take it easy I can check you back in."

Jeff playfully slaps his wife's butt

"Hey where's that bed side manner I love so much?"

"Be good or I'll check you into the psyche ward." Cass kisses her husband placing a pillow behind his head. "I'll get you something to eat."

"I made some chili" smiles Matt…

"Wow honey now the both of us can have gas in bed tonight"

The boys laugh as Cass picks up Lil J to take him to bed

"Hardy Ha Ha! Kiss Daddy goodnight…"

Lil J kisses his daddy

"Night Daddy."

"Good Night little man…"

"Night Uncle Matt"

Lil J hugs and kisses Matt

"Matt sweet dreams lil' dude"

"Come on let's say our prayers…"

Cass continues to talk to her son as she carries him to his room.

"So tell me…" begins Matt… "How good did it feel to leap on his ass?"

"Damn good! Damn good brother!"

"And how much of that was about…." Matt raises his eyebrows and Jeff looks confused…

"What?"

"Oh don't what me little brother… it's only been a minute since he was found comforting your woman..."

"Dude you know that was about nothing but the weather… Cass has better taste than that."

"This I know…"

"But, I know you got a but in there somewhere."

"He told you how much he loved her and that if you fucked up…"

"He was talking out his ass! But look at her, who wouldn't want Cass, shit brother you even wanted her once upon a time…"

"Well one thing for sure little brother."

"Yeah and what's that?"

"He hates our mother fuckin' guts!"
