Chapter 8

The next day was a huge day, Krista and Jeff arrived at the arena with Jacob and Julie. Julie headed to the costume department and Krista and Jacob followed Jeff to his dressing room. Wrestlemania was a huge success and Jeff and Miz won their match and the tag team titles. Krista didn't encounter any problems with the other spouses. In fact they welcomed her and Jacob with open arms.

The day after Wrestlemania, Jeff and Miz had a photo shoot before having to be back at the arena for RAW. Krista and Jacob headed to the arena with Jeff and waited in his dressing room while the show went on. After the show, they headed to the airport and flew back to North Carolina for a few days.

The next month was hard as Jeff was gone a lot more since he held a title and Krista was left to plan Jacob's first birthday by herself. She was used to planning events alone, but she desperately wanted Jeff's opinion on things. Jeff told her to text him with pictures and he would give his input. Krista nodded her head and did as he asked.

The day of Jacob's first birthday was a huge hit. Everyone was there and everyone was happy and healthy. Jeff sat next to Jacob was he smashed into his cake and when Jeff wasn't looking, Jacob smeared cake and frosting on the side of Jeff's face. Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Jeff just smiled at his son and wiped the cake from his face. Jacob giggled at his daddy and went back to eating his cake.

Three and a half years later...

Matt, Amanda, Destiny, Shane, Shannon, Julie, and Gil were all in the backyard waiting on Krista to join them. Jacob was running around with his cousin. Krista finally emerged from the house and joined everyone for the BBQ they were hosting to welcome the newest member of the Hardy family, Arianna Ruby Hardy.

"There is my sweet angel." Jeff stated as he took Arianna from Krista. "How are you feeling?"

"Still pretty sore." Krista answered.

"Just take it easy and relax." Jeff responded.

"Mommy, she hit me." Jacob stated as he came running up to Krista.

"Jacob, easy. Mommy has a owie. What happened?" Jeff asked.

"Desty hit me." Jacob stated not being able to pronounce his cousins name right.

"Destiny, did you hit Jacob?" Matt asked his daughter.

"Yes." Destiny answered.

"Why did you hit him?" Matt asked.

"It was an accident." Destiny answered.

"You still need to apologize to your cousin." Amanda told her daughter.

"Otay. Sawry Jake." Destiny stated before they took off to continue playing.

"Kids, you gotta love them." Jeff stated as he handed Arianna to Krista.

"That we do." Krista responded.

Arianna Ruby Hardy made her entrance to the world four days before the BBQ. She had been breach for a while and just wouldn't turn. The doctors tried to turn her but she was stuck in breach position. Krista's doctor ordered a c-section to deliver Arianna five days before Krista's scheduled due date. Arianna weighed in a 8lbs 2oz and 21inches long.

Jeff and Krista were happy with their family. As for Matt and Amanda, they decided that Destiny was enough for now and if they decided to have another baby, then they would. Destiny was the apple of their eyes and Matt has remained clean and sober since day one. And Gil was thrilled to have three grandchildren in his life and was happy for his sons and their families.
