Chapter 40 : Canadian Made
Following Week - Impact Zone - After the Show
After Impact show the following week , Fortune minus Storm , Autumn , Harris , Gail , Traci , Jackie , Petey , and Eric were all in Fortune ' s locker room waiting to her the news on how the Cowboy ' s surgery went and if he was coming back before Slammiversary .
" The fans went crazy when we announced the first ever Knockouts Six Sides of Steel for Slammiversary , Autumn . " Gail looked at her .
" And they will go even more crazy two weeks from now when the match happens , but it would ' ve been nice if someone had warned us about Karen and Jeff Jarrett returning tonight . " Autumn said about the surprise return of the Jarretts .
" I agree , " Traci frustrated at the lack of respect she had been shown by Karen .
" Well , the only way to stop Karen from being a pest is to pry the Jarretts from Immortal . " Jackie pointed out .
" But , how ? " Gail and Traci both asked .
" Crowbar , " Autumn said making the girls laugh .
" Would it be a wise move to tell Jeff that we know about what Bischoff and Flair has planned for TNA ? " Harris asked .
" Don ' t know , " Kaz said .
" Why do you ask ? " Petey looked at the Wildcat .
" Maybe it would make Jeff feel more free to leave Immortal . " Harris said .
" Not necessarily , " Bobby said .
" Why not ? " Chris looked at Roode .
" If Bischoff and Flair has blackmailed Jarrett into thinking that the only way for them not to hand over TNA to the McMahons is by Jeff and Karen staying on Bischoff and Flairs good side . The Jeff may feel like the only way to protect and watch after TNA is by sticking with Immortal , so , that way the powers that be in Immortal will feel like the Jarretts are on their side and not turning against Immortal . So , the only way we could possibly free Jeff and Karen from them is by Sting going through with the plan of him getting fifty percent ownship of the company temporarily , so , Bischoff and Flair doesn ' t have as much say and control over TNA as they do now . So , right now doing anything to help the Jarretts is out of our hands and needs to be put on standby until we have the opportune moment and the advantage on our end . " Roode explained .
" Alright , so , Jeff stays for now until further notice . So , the idea to give Sting ownership over part of TNA is only temporary ? " Kazarian making sure he knew what they were planning .
" Yes , after Immortal is terminated , Sting will give Dixie back his part of the company along with the part Bischoff has at the moment . " Roode said .
" Bobby , you ' ve kind of stepped up since Storm left , is this a new sign of authority I here coming from the Canadian Enforcer ? " Eric asked .
" I ' ve noticed the same thing , " Petey agreed with Eric .
" Might be , " Bobby answered .
" I bet , Autumn is the one who rules the roost though . " Traci said .
" No , its pretty even . " Autumn said as Bobby ' s cell phone rang making all of them look at him hoping it was the Cowboy .
" Hello , yeah man let me put you on speaker phone for the rest of them to hear . " Bobby said smiling and switching his phone to speaker phone so everyone could hear the news .
" What up , y ' all ? " Storm said .
" Great , but we are missing an important member of the family here , bro . " Daniels said .
" Who would that be ? " James wondered .
" Everybodies favorite Cowboy , " Harris said .
" Aw , shucks , but since I ' m your favorite Harris , would you come up here and tell these doctors and nurses that the Cowboy can only make a full recovery if they fill the IV bag up with beer mate ? " Storm asked .
" Don ' t you start telling them to do things like that ? " They heard Dani , Storm ' s wife , say in the background .
The Knockouts in the room laughed at the Cowboy as AJ and Kazarian sighed .
" Sorry , Storm , but if I did that Dani may kill me and you both . " Harris said .
" You better believe I will , " Dani said .
" Maybe you should try and convince the nurses to send the IV bag home with you Storm that way you can fill one up whenever you want . " Eric suggested .
" You know that ' s not a bad idea Eric , " James said .
" And tell them you want one for your AMW partner , too , I ' m pretty sure I can convince Gail to be my nurse . " Harris said making Gail look at him .
" Right , " James chuckled .
" Don ' t even think about it , " Dani and Gail both said to AMW .
" Nevermind , " Storm and Harris both said .
" So , what ' s the news about you Storm ? " Autumn asked laughing at AMW getting told off .
" I will be back before Slammiversary , " Storm said making them all sigh in relief .
" Good , so , what was the problem ? " Traci asked .
" Bruised liver from years of punishment due to being a wrestler , the doctor said they fixed it , to where it wouldn ' t both me anymore . So , I will at least last a few more years in the ring . " Storm said .
" Good cause you can ' t cop-out on us yet , Cowboy . " Roode said .
" That ' s for damn sure , " Harris agreed .
" Don ' t worry guys , this Cowboy ' s saddle hasn ' t broken yet and my boots still have enough left in them to give people plenty more Last Calls for years to come . " Storm said making them all laugh .
" Storm , doctor ' s here to check on you . " Dani said .
" Alright guys , I will let you go , so , the doc can check on me , bye , " Storm said .
" Later Storm , " Bobby said as they hung up the phones .
Daniels open the door seeing the Motorcity Machine Guns and let them in the room .
" Hey guys , heard anything on Storm yet ? " Shelley asked as walking into the room ahead of Sabin .
Sabin had Matt ' s computer that he had taken from Immortal ' s locker room in Nashville weeks ago .
" Yeah , he just called and said he would be back before Slammiversary . " Harris said .
" Good to hear , " Shelley said .
" I see you guys come bearing gifts . " AJ said .
" Yeah , but I don ' t know how great the gift is , " Sabin looked at them .
" What is it ? " Kazarian asked .
" Hang on and let me set up here . " Sabin said as he set up the computer on the table in the room .
Once he had everything set up he turned and looked at Autumn .
" What ? " Autumn asked .
" I think there ' s more to your past than just you being Owen ' s daughter and apart of the Hart Dynasty . " Sabin said showing her what he found .
Autumn looked at the screen reading what was on it until she gasped .
" Shelley , go find Sting , D ' Amore , and my Uncle and tell them to get Jeff Jarrett in here even if they have to force him to come . " Autumn ordered .
" Right , I ' m going , " Shelley left to do what Autumn ordered .
" Autumn ? " Bobby asked looking at her .
" I thought we agreed that Jeff wasn ' t the enemy . " Harris said .
" He ' s not , but I know why he is leaving Immortal and what he is protecting and its not just me or TNA . " Autumn said .
" Why ? " AJ , Daniels , and Kazarian asked .
" Because I wasn ' t the only kid born than night to Owen and Rachel Hart . " Autumn said .
" Huh ? " Eric asked .
" My parents had twins , I have a twin brother out there somewhere . " Autumn said
" What ?! " Roode and Petey both said
" According to this Jarrett knew about the both of us and that Rachel left with us after my dad died . He also knew that my mom had remarried my step-dad , but apparently my step-dad didn ' t want two kids that weren ' t his taking the inheritance his family left him and threated to kill the both of us . But , refused after my mom agreed to sending the my brother off somewhere to be raised by someone else while they kept me . This says that Jarrett was the first person she contacted about taking the boy due to her trusting the friendship that Jeff and my dad had between each other before he died , they agreed to entrusting the boy in the care of one other lifelong friend of Jarrett ' s who is currently working for Immortal and I take he is not in Immortal for Bischoff and Flair ' s benefit , but for Jeff ' s and my brother ' s benefit . " Autumn reading what was on the screen .
" Who is this other person ? " Harris asked curious .
" Scott Steiner , " Autumn said .
" That actually makes a lot more sense . " AJ said .
" Why do you say that ? " Autumn asked .
" Because , Jarrett and Scott have been friends for a long time and there ' s no one that Jarrett trusts more or who had Jarrett ' s back through the years more than Steiner . " AJ said .
" True , " Harris said .
Another knock came at the door and Daniels open the door to find Shelley back with Sting , Bret , Jeff , D ' Amore and Steiner . The Fallen Angel let them in hoping this was going to be a good idea .
" So , someone sent for us ? " Sting asked .
" Yes , I did , " Autumn glared at Jarrett as Daniels closed the door to keep sound from traveling and the wrong people from hearing what was going on .
" What ' s wrong Autumn ? " Bret asked .
" Uncle Bret , did you know about me having a twin brother ? " Autumn asked .
" Yes , I knew , " Bret answered .
" Then why have you kept it from me ? " Autumn growled .
" Because your brother is under special protect from your step-daddy and Immortal . " Steiner said stepping in between Bret and Autumn .
" Does he even know about me , about dad or mom ? " Autumn asked .
" Yes , he knows everything . " Jarrett said .
" Jeff , how long did you know that I was down in the hellhole being abused by everyone in that town , how long did you know about me being held prisoner by my dad and those people ? " Autumn started crying .
" Since the day your mother called me after she found out about the cancer , she said you were in danger being around your step-dad and don ' t think I didn ' t try to get you out of there because I did . I went straight down to that place the moment she died and tried to have all of the best lawyers I could find to try and get you from that man and those people . But , your step-dad ' s lawyer stonewalled me by bringing out papers that said you were not to leave that place until you came of age . He hoped that he could stamp out your history of being one of the decendents of the Hart Dynasty and he had help by none other than the McMahan family . Vince thought you and your brother would show up in WWE and try to help Natalia lay claim to what Vince took away from Bret years ago . " Jarrett said .
Bret looked at him knowing he was talking about the issue between him , Vince , and HBK .
" Why did my step-dad want me there when he hated wrestling ? " Autumn asked crying a little harder .
Jarrett looked at her , he had beeen hoping Autumn wouldn ' t ask him that question , but knowing that he had to now tell her truth .
" Autumn , your brother is ten minutes younger than you are and when he was born there were some complications that caused your mother not to be able to have anymore kids than the two of you . Your step - dad found this out after he had married your mother and realized that he would have to find an alternative which is the reason he didn ' t want to give you up . He hoped that you wouldn ' t develop any feelings for the wrestling business even if you found out about it , I guess he figured if you knew what your family had been through and what others in the wrestling world knew about your past that you didn ' t know that you would turn away from wrestling and except him as the only one you could trust . Your step - dad hoped that when you turned eighteen he could have you in ways that he couldn ' t have your mother and that you could give him things your mother would have never been able to give him . I think he tried to keep your mother from finding out the truth , but before the end she knew which is the reason she contacted me to come and get you like I did your brother early . Forgive me for leaving you there , but know that I never wanted you to get hurt . The day you and your brother were born if Bret couldn ' t handle a situation that involved you two being endanger then the responsibility was entrusted to me to make sure both of you were safe and I can ' t tell you how many times I failed to do what I promised Owen that I would do . I ' m not one to usually break a promise to a friend , but I did the day I could rescue you Autumn . " Jeff said looking at her for a moment .
" My step - dad wanted to have a baby with me because he couldn ' t have one with my mother ? " Autumn asked making Roode look at her and Jeff .
" Yes , but Fortune got to you and helped you escape before he could go for it and there was nothing he could do to keep you in that town after you turned eighteen as you are a legal adult . Your step-dad ' s only hope was that you would stumble into the wrestling world somewhere and have someone like the McMahons , Flair , or Bischoff have you kidnapped and taken back to that man . But , little did he or any of them realize that you would be a force to be reckoned with in TNA or that you would gain the friendship of many influential and protective people even before you came to Impact Wrestling . So , unfortunately for those people after you , at the moment you have put them on hold with their plans until they can figure out a way to separate you from the guys going against Immortal , and apparently they have you so bad on their radar that they are now willingly to take Roode as well just to give you a reason to cooperate with what they tell you to do , Autumn . " Jarrett said .
" They won ' t have either one of us as long as I have enough fight in my body to defend the both of us . " Roode making sure Jarrett understood him .
" I figured as much . " Jarrett said .
" No wonder my step - dad always asked the doctor a whole bunch of questions everytime I had a check up , especially as I got older and started maturing . Of course the I always felt like the doctor was a bit strange and that the exams were a little to in depth for someone my age and someone who never had a boyfriend before I met Bobby . " Autumn said .
" Would that be the reason you don ' t like hospitals ? " Roode realizing .
" Yeah , I always felt uncomfortable around the doctor back in that horrible place and now every doctor feels the same way to me . " Autumn said .
" Could be that he was hoping nothing went wrong with you if you were to have children since your mother wasn ' t able to have anymore children due to medical problems . " Daniels thought about it .
" Daniels has a point , " AJ and Kaz agreed .
" Why were you entrusted with Autumn and her brothers care , Jeff ? " Harris asked .
" Because , Jarrett was named godfather to Autumn and her brother . " Bret said .
" You are my godfather ? " Autumn looked at Jarrett and so did the others in the room outside of Sting , Steiner , and D ' Amore .
" Yes , I am , " Jarrett answered her .
" And where is my brother ? " Autumn asked .
" Due to my constant traveling throughout the states and overseas wrestling Autumn , I was able to keep your brother with me full time , so , Rick has him . " Steiner said .
" If he ' s with Rick , Autumn , rest assured that he is safe . " Sting said .
" And his name ? " Autumn asked again .
" I can ' t tell you that . " Steiner said .
" Why not ? " Autumn started tearing up again .
" Because it could get back to the wrong people . " Steiner said .
" You think I am going to rat out on my own brother ? " Autumn glared at Steiner .
" Not willingly you wouldn ' t , " Steiner shouted at her .
" I order you , no , I demand you to tell me my brothers name cause the last thing I am going to do is give up my own flesh and blood , Steiner . Come on Scott would you really want someone holding out on you if it was Rick ? " Autumn growled .
" Its Andrew , " Jarrett said .
" Jeff , " Steiner and Bret both said .
" No , I am , no longer lying to my best friend ' s daughter , both of them have a right to know each other if that is their choice . But , I warn you Autumn , be careful about this before your step-dad and Immortal can be stopped , because if anything were to happen to the two of you then everything will not go so well . The reason I have kept your brother ' s name a secret is because I can ' t have you and him both gone , alright . " Jarrett said .
" Okay , just no more lying to me about the truth . " Autumn glared at everybody in the room showing she meant everyword .
" No problem , " Jarrett said .
After that Jarrett and Steiner went back to Immortal to keep from Bischoff and Flair from getting any ideas that Jarrett and Steiner was against the powers that seek to destroy TNA .
Finally one by one the group went home after telling Sting the news about Storm returning for Slammiversary and knowing they would have to tell Storm the recent news about Autumn .
Autumn ' s Apartment
Once inside Autumn and Bobby walked into the Dark Angel ' s apartment and put their bags from the Impact Zone down , Autumn put her arms around Roode and cried very hard for the first time in a while .
" What ' s wrong baby ? " Roode asked holding her .
" Its just all of the stuff I heard tonight hitting me at once , I ' m glad with all of the new developments the one that still have with me to take care of me and to hold me when the world gets to rough is you , Bobby . If I had never met you that day and if Fortune had never come to my home town then I would still be in the dark and worst things could ' ve happened to me . I love you so much for rescuing me and most importantly being the one that I can run to when the dark starts to close around me . Thanks you for being the light I need to help me banish the evil people out there who wants nothing more than to hurt me . " Autumn said even though the problems were stacking up to get her outside in the world at the moment she felt extremely safe in the arms of the Canadian Enforcer .
" Don ' t worry about it Autumn , we will get through this and as long as I ' m still standing and breathing no one will hurt you with me around . " Roode said .
" Thanks , Bobby , you really have healed my heart since that day when I met you for the first time years ago , you made where its possible for me to feel every emotion in my heart . I know now that when I chose to run away from the town and chose to walk down the path to become a wrestler that it truly was the best decision that I could make and now I am not only happy as a wrestler , but I am also happy with the best man in the world , one that I will be able to call me own for the rest of eternity and beyond that Enforcer . I love you so much and that won ' t ever change Robert Roode . " Autumn said .
" Good , because I ' m not given you up either my little Dark Angel . " Roode said satisfied that she was his for eternity .
" By the way , look on the wall across from the Fortune collage . " Autumn told him .
" Why ? " Bobby asked looking and saw the Canadian Flag up on her wall . Roode smiled the biggest smile in the world .
" I put it up this morning before we left for the Impact Zone . " Autumn said .
" Which is why you took so long getting out of the apartment this morning ? " Bobby asked .
" Yeah , I wanted to surprise you , so , do you like it my Canadian Knight ? " Autumn asked him .
" I love it , " Bobby said .
" Good , because you are not the only one who is one hundred percent Canadian made in this relationship dear . " Autumn pointed out to him .
" Which brings an even bigger smile to my face . " Roode said .
" In the words of Coach Scott D ' Amore , ' say it loud and say it proud ' , " Autumn said .
" Oh , Canada ! " Bobby and Autumn both sang the Canadian National Anthem before going to bed that night .
A/N 2 : All right like I said earlier this is the last chapter for Beautiful Heart , but the war against Immortal isn ' t over yet and neither is the Autumn and Roode ' s story for the sequel will be up as soon as I can get it up .
End Notes : Just to let all of my readers know , I have made it my mission after the New Year to try and finish as many of the other stories that I already have going before starting on anything new . If anybody wants me to do a story that involves wrestling only then let me know who you want in the story or if you want it to be a one-shot . But , please know that they only stories are the ones that involve WWE prior to 2010 or anything TNA as I am not familiar with the wrestlers that came to WWE after 2010 or familiar with any of the other promotions due to not being able to watch them or not remembering a lot of the stuff that happened in WCW and ECW . If you want me to use your OC that you ' ve come up with give me some background on the character (which includes if they are a heel or face , if they are a wrestler) and /or if you have some sort of storyline in mind I will also do them if you give me details and background on the plot . I promise I will get to the stories when I can while dealing with my own projects some I hope to get up soon as well . Thanks you for being understanding , I really hope you enjoy the stories and please as always leave a review or some kind of comment for any of my stories as I do read them and it does help with my writing skills when you guys give me good ideas and advice .
