Chapter Fifty:
Jeff and Lita get back to their hotel room. They are all happy until Lita sees a teddy bear on the bed. It is a bear with a bow on its ear.
"What is this? Did you give this to me?" She asks Jeff.
"No, I don't know where that came from. Check the card on who it is." Jeff suggests.
Lita checks the card which have her in tears and her hand over her mouth. "Who is it from?"
"Aww, how sweet." Jeff smiles. "Our children are the best." He compliments. It says 'Here is someone to help you to not forget us.' -Johnny and Joan.
"Let's call them to thank them." Lita excitedly requests.
"Of course." Jeff takes out his pone as they call his parents.
"Hello." His dad greets.
"Hello dad, are Joan and Johnny there?"
"They are eating right now. We picked up food to eat since they were hungry."
"We will call back then." Lita hits him not accepting that answer.
"Are you sure, son? I know they would love to talk to you."
"On the other hand, we will wait for them to finish eating." He looks at his wife who smiles. "Yes, we will definitely wait." Lita kisses him on the cheek.
"Alright, let me check if they are finish." They both hear Jeff's dad asked along with a loud scream afterwards. "I think they are finish." He keeps the phone out of reach.
"Grandpa, let us talk to mommy and daddy." They whine excited to talk to their parents.
"Sweetie, hand them the phone." Mrs. Hardy orders him.
"Fine." He reluctantly gives the phone to them.
"Thank you, grandpa." They both hug him which touches his heart.
"See was that worth handing over the phone." Mrs. Hardy joins him.
"It was." They see them all happy to talk to their parents.
"Hello mommy." Joan greets.
"It is daddy, not mommy she is asleep." He jokes as he moves away from Lita's punch.
"Oh, did she get our gift?" She sounds a bit upset because she wants to hear her reaction.
"She did. She loves it very much. The teddy bear has replaced me as a cuddlier." He chuckles.
"Of course she hasn't." Joan corrects him. "If she does, you always have me to always stand by your side." She assures him.
"Thank you, baby girl." He appreciates. "Where is Johnny?"
"Hello daddy." Johnny greets.
"Are you behaving for everyone?"
"Yes daddy I am." He rolls his eyes.
"Don't you roll your eyes at me." He is the protective parent this time with his harsh tone.
"Can I speak to mommy?" He requests as he is a bit frighten by his tone.
"Please speak to your son." Jeff hands his wife the phone.
"Hello baby boy." Lita greets in a calm, sweet tone.
"HI mommy." Johnny speaks in an upset tone.
"What is wrong?" She looks at Jeff to see him mad.
"Daddy is mad at me." He lightly sniffles. He doesn't like when people are mad at him; he doesn't take it well.
"Why is he?"
"I rolled my eyes when he asked if I am behaving myself." He informs his mother.
"What did you say?"
"I said yes I am. I don't know why he is mad at that."
"Johnny, remember when I kept on reminding you two on the rules when we went to the WWE event."
"Yes."
"You two didn't like it, so you both rolled your eyes. What was my reaction?" She tries to explain Jeff's reason for his tone.
"You didn't like it."
"Exactly, we only do this to protect you because we care. When you roll your eyes, it seems to anyone that you don't care to listen to us."
"I never thought about that. Can you put daddy on the phone?"
"I just got on the phone." She wants to spend time on the phone with their children too.
"It will just for a few minutes, please I want to apologize to daddy."
"Okay, just for a few minutes." Lita hands the phone back to her husband.
"Yes." He waits for his son to answer.
"Dad, I am sorry I shouldn't have rolled my eyes." He apologizes not knowing his action is bad.
"It is okay, buddy." He now recognizes that his tone was a bit harsh. "Let us forget about, what did you two have for dinner?" He wants to the situation in the past.
"Can you put us on speaker so we can all talk together?" He doesn't want to upset her mother next.
"Of course I can." Jeff sits on the bed with Lita before they put the call on speaker. "Can you two hear us?" He questions.
"Yes we can, mom, did you like your surprise?" Joan asks.
"I did sweetie you didn't have to give me one." She holds to the bear tight.
"We both know that you will miss us, so we gave you Mrs. Bear to keep us in your mind."
"You two, along with Jeff, are always on my mind. I don't need anything to remind me, but I appreciate the gesture. Mrs. Bear looks a lot like the one you have, Joan." She does recognize the similarities both bears have.
"It is the same one. I brought it with me and kept it there because you were upset. When I am upset, I hug it to feel better. I thought it will help you."
"It does thank you."
"Daddy, back to your question." Johnny changes the topic to stop anyone from crying. "We had chicken strips and fries."
"I am guessing there was a dessert with it too." Jeff knows there was.
"You know us too well." Joan and Johnny giggle.
"You two will sleep soundly tonight, right?" They are concern that they will have trouble sleeping without them.
"Yup, we will." They both answer.
"Are you sure, no lying?" She senses it is not completely true.
"We will try our best." They both truthfully answer.
"Joan, Johnny, it is time for bed." Mrs. Dumas calls out.
"Grandma, we are talking to mommy and daddy." They whine not wanting to end the conversation.
"It is time to go to bed you two had a long day. You can talk to them again tomorrow." She responds not giving in.
"Okay, goodnight mommy. Goodnight daddy." They say upset but they listen to their gran.
"Just look at it this way, the sooner you sleep the sooner it will be tomorrow. It will be one day gone until we are reunited." Jeff assures them not wanting their children sad before bed.
"Okay." They accept. "We will talk tomorrow, right?" They hope in their cute tone.
"Absolutely, now off to bed." Lita requests.
"Love you, mommy. Love you, daddy." Johnny expresses next.
"We love you both." They both respond.
As Jeff hangs up, Lita hugs Mrs. Bear tighter. "We can make it just focus on holding them officially our children in less than two weeks." Jeff informs her.
"You are right."
"Let's go to sleep we have to be in California by tomorrow night. Our flight is 7am." Jeff informs her. She lays down with Jeff her from behind as she holds on to Mrs. Bear.
Live Event:
"Lita, why did you agree to orchestrate my matches? I bet you are still in love with me." Matt chuckles. "No just listen to me, you cheated on me. You now feel guilty and know I won't take you back, so you went for my baby brother. You thought that if you fall for him that you would see me more to keep your feelings a secret. I have to say it was smart, but it won't work. I won't let my brother be played like that." Matt declares.
"Oh Matt, you have me all figured out, don't you?" She chuckles.
"Tell me that is not the truth." He doesn't like her attitude.
"Actually it is not true. I am only making matches for you on Raw and Smackdown." Lita reveals.
"So you mean I am off for house events?" Matt is relief that he will only put up with these horrible matches for two days only.
"Nope, you still have someone creating matches for you."
"Who is it?" Matt is curious on who it is; it can't be any worse. Edge comes out to loud cheers. Matt is astonish by the turn of events.
"Surprise." Edge greets. "Now for tonight I won't make the match myself, I am going to have the crowd decide your opponent and your stipulation. I hope you been nice to the crowd because they determine your faith. To give you some time to take this all in, I will announce your match as the main event." He finishes. Matt is furious that he can never catch a break; everything just got worse.
Later in the night:
"Hello everyone, it is time to announce Matt's match for tonight. Matt, please come out to see the results." Matt doesn't come out. "Matt, do you want it to be a surprise." He again doesn't come out. "I hope you didn't run because we are prepare for that." Edge is not phrase by his lack of appearance. The crowd hears yelling as Matt is dragged to the ring by Big Show and Mark Henry. "Let us see what the crowd chose. First for the stipulation; no stipulation, handicap match, or other." There is a drumroll. "The stipulation is other. I wonder what that could mean." Edge acts like he doesn't know. "Other is that I pick five people from the crowd to give me a stipulation. Whatever sounds best to me, I will choose." He reveals.
Edge chooses five people from each part of the crowd. The first person chooses a 60 minute iron man match. The second one chooses a blindfold match. The third person chooses likes a ladder match. The fourth stipulation is a contract on a pole match and finally the fifth person suggest a dance off.
"These are all good choices." He ponders on the best one. "I think I will choose the dance off match." Edge smiles as Matt is in shock. He can't believe he has to compete in that stipulation, he rather be in anything else.
"Now for your opponent. Maybe I should choose the opponent myself." He deeply thinks about it. "Ah, I know the perfect choice." He grins. Stacey Keilber music plays to everyone excitement. Big Show and Mark Henry just laughs as they head backstage.
"Okay, this is a dance-off." King announce being the host of the dance off. "Each person will have thirty seconds to impress not only me but the crowd. Afterwards, the crowd will choose to the winner. First one up is Matt Hardy."
Matt takes the floor as he dances pretty good. Everyone is quite impress in his dace moves. At the end of thirty seconds, people clap for him. He is confident that he has won this.
"Stacey, you are next." Her music plays as she does some sexy dance moves. Everyone is in trance with her long legs and tiny waist. After thirty seconds, everyone is in awe on what just happen.
"I declare Stacey the winner." King announces without voting with the crowd.
"Hey, the crowd has to choose too not just you." Matt argues.
"Okay, who picks Matt as the winner." A couple of people cheer. "Okay, Stacey, who thinks Stacey is the winner." Everyone else cheers. "We have a winner. The winner is…" Matt attacks King from behind before he reveals the winner.
"I am the winner." Matt yells out. As he is about to exit, he sees Stacey in the corner. He smirks as he approaches her. "Hello." He pulls her up by her hair.
"Matt, don't even think about it." Edge runs out. Matt sets her up for the Twist-of-Fate. "I am serious if you execute that move you will deal with consequences." Matt continues to set it up. "Those stipulation before you would be involve in all of them in the same night.
"I don't care." Matt yells out about to execute it.
"Maybe this will stop you, that contract will be your contract on the line. If you lose and or hurt anyone until then you will be erase from WWE forever. No one will know who you are. You have a choice, do the right thing." Edge informs him.
Matt lets go of Stacey. "You better not be bluffing." He manically orders.
"You will find out. See you Monday." He leaves with Stacey beside him.
