Chapter Fifty-six:
Lita and Jeff are in the garage of Lita's, being back from their honeymoon. Since they said their goodbyes on Smackdown, they don't have to be at Raw. No one knows about that, so they can surprise them.
"Did I deliver on my promise?" Jeff pecks her hand.
"You definitely did. I don't think I could have sweated or yell so much in my life. You should…"
"I should what." He rubs her thigh.
"You should not let you guard down." She kisses him.
"If that is what I get when I do, I will always let it happen." He accepts being unguarded.
"I hope you do because I have a certain outfit for your prize." She climbs onto of him.
"We can't do this now." He reluctantly stops her.
"Why, I want to celebrate in your car like we did before." She whines
"My wife didn't get enough during our honeymoon." She shakes her head. "Well, then later we will continue with that see through, light blue outfit I always wanted you to buy." He reeals the outfit.
"That is supposed to be a gift for you, how do you know?"
"I know because I love you. I know you bought it just for me, plus I see the strap on your shoulder." He points out.
Lita covers it back up. "Aww man, can you at least act surprise when I reveal it." She wants to give him what he gave her during the honeymoon.
"Anything for you." He pecks her. "Come on we have to surprise our children." He opens the door to let Lita out as he follows after her.
Inside the house:
"Everything is set, Ms. Joan." Edge salutes. Him and Christian arrive at the house the day after Smackdown. Jamie uses her adorable ways to have him help while Michelle used her charm to persuade Christian to help as well.
"Thank you, I just hope this won't affect your relationship with Michelle or Jamie."
"It won't they know what I have done." Before they head to the house, Edge confessed everything he did to Lita and Jeff.
"Everything." She is surprise by this.
"Yup, I want to be Jamie's father. To be that, I don't want anyone to put her on the spot for the consequences of my actions."
"Aww, you really do care for them." She smiles. Jamie finally get what she wants; a father figure.
"Thanks, coming from you means a lot. You, along with Johnny, are they only family she has before Michelle adopted her; your opinions are important."
"Her family is getting bigger and just between me and you, she wants you as her father as well. She dreams of you and Michelle married so you can official be one." She whispers.
"You think so." Joan nods in approval. "Okay, anything else you need me to do."
"Can you lift me up as I put pictures of all of us on the sides of the barricade?"
"Absolutely."
Jeff and Lita enter their home to have Edge carrying Joan to put the pictures.
"Hello." Lita greets with a rude tone.
"Mommy, you are home." She is surprise by her appearance. Edge puts her down before she runs to them.
"Yes, we wanted to surprise you and Johnny. Speaking of him, where is he and where are your gran and grandpa." She doesn't completely trust Edge with her children.
"They are in the yard for the surprise." She informs her mother. "Hello, daddy."
"Hi my princess." He kisses her cheek.
"What surprise?" She is still upset about Edge touching her daughter.
"You- "The doorbell rings. "Oh no they are here already." She looks at Edge in shock.
"I will call everyone." Edge offers. This will ruin the surprise if her parents see who is at the door.
"Who is at the door?" Lita inquires.
"Princess, what are you doing here? We didn't expect you two here until tomorrow." Mr. Dumas wonders.
"Dad, we wanted to surprise all of you." There are curious on why they aren't worried that Edge is alone with Joan.
"Well, you two must be tired. Let's go up to your bedroom." Lita's mom offers.
"I want to see who is at the door." Lita refers to multiple doorbells.
"I will get it, don't worry." Jeff's mother offers.
"But-" She refuses to go up to their bedroom.
"Please mommy and daddy." Joan speaks with her and Johnny pouts. "This is the surprise I don't want you to know yet."
"Fine, we will go." Lita gives up so her children are not upset.
"Thank you, I love you both." Their children hug them before they head up.
When they bedroom is close, Jeff's mom opens the front. "Hell." She greets.
"Hello, I am guessing they are home early." Jeff's mom nods her head.
"Where do you want to complete this?" Susan asks entering the home.
Jeff's mom looks around to see Joan waving her arms from the yard. "Follow me."
"What is Susan doing here?" Lita wonders. She watches the greeting play out from her opening the door a bit.
"Can you just let it be? They want to plan a surprise, let them be." He lays on their bed.
"I am just cautious with Edge here. Maybe Susan found out about them getting hurt or-"
"Lita stop." He holds her shoulder. "Just relax, she doesn't know we are here. We don't want to ruin the surprise, do we?" Lita shakes her head. "Okay, come lie with me as we wait for them to finish what they need to do." Jeff guides her to the bed.
An hour later, a knock scares Jeff, who is about to fall asleep. Lita is already asleep being tried out by her constant worry.
"Come in." Jeff calls out enough to hear from the door.
"Daddy." Johnny slowly opens the door.
"Hey buddy, are you guys done with your business downstairs." Jeff whispers.
"We are, is mommy sleeping?" He joins his father beside the bed.
"She is worried about Joan being alone with Edge when we walked in."
"He and Christian are here for your surprise tomorrow. He was… daddy, remember when Joan ask you if mommy was there before." Jeff nods. "We need to tell you something that mommy can't hear; it is a surprise just for her."
"What would that surprise be?" Johnny climbs gently on the bed to whisper the secret.
"That is good, mommy will love it."
"You too, right?"
"Yup, so that is why she was here?" Jeff refers to Susan's appearance.
"It was a check-up all you have to do is-" He whispers the rest into his ear.
"We will when mommy wakes up."
"Can I wait with you?" He snuggles in Jeff's left arm.
"Of course, you can." He waits for him to get comfortable before he tries to fall asleep.
"Daddy, mommy." Joan enters the bedroom quietly.
Jeff opens his eyes to see her. "Hey baby girl, are you here to join the family reunion?" Joan nods in agreement. She happily joins them with her in front of Jeff.
"Come lay down beside me, sweetie." Lita speaks up still with her eyes close.
Jeff and Johnny stiff up afraid that she heard their private conversation. "Honey, how long have you been awake?"
"I woke up when I heard my sweet daughter's voice." She opens her eyes.
"I do that too." Joan happily admits. "When I hear mommy's voice, I instantly perk up. I also do the same with daddy's voice." She doesn't want daddy to be left out.
"Thank you, princess." He appreciates being included.
"I love you, daddy." She hugs him.
"I love you too. I love you all." He opens his arms wife for a family hug.
"So, what was Susan doing here?" Lita questions. Jeff just rolls his eyes that she can't let it go.
"It is just for a check-up. It is the final check-up before we finally become your official children." Joan answers.
"She didn't want to see us."
"She didn't know you were home. Furthermore, she just came in and out. Apparently, a lot of other probation ends around this time." Johnny makes an excuse.
"You didn't tell her we were home."
"I didn't know until Joan told me. Susan was out the door before I got the chance to say anything. Enough about that we should start our family bonding with a movie." Johnny suggest to stop his mother's questions.
"Yes we should." Joan agrees.
"But"
"That sounds like a good idea, go pick out a movie from Netflix." Jeff gives them the remote from the frame of the bed.
"Why did you do that?" Lita is upset that they cut her off.
"Come on, I know you miss them. You dreamed and complain of not being there for these moments. What is wrong now?" He asks to let this go.
"Nothing, I just don't want to be out of the loop.
"You are not, we have to trust our children, okay?" Lita nods in agreement.
"We picked one." Their children both say.
"Great, Johnny you can sit next to me while Joan. You can lay next to mommy." Jeff requests.
"I want to sit in your lap, daddy." Joan requests.
"I want to sit with mommy." Johnny requests as well.
"Well, we have a daddy's girl and momma's boy here." Jeff teases.
"Yup, we are proud to be them." They smile with confidence.
"Come on." Jeff waves Joan over who snuggles in his lap.
"I miss my baby boy." Johnny snuggles into his mother's embrace.
"So, what are we watching?"
"Cheaper by the Dozen." Joan answers.
Halfway through the movie, they all fall asleep. Jeff's parents knock on the door to see the sweet sight.
"That is a family." Edge comments with Jamie beside him.
"You will have that too." Michelle states.
"I will hopefully with you." He expresses.
"It might happen sooner than later." She pecks him before heading downstairs. Christian is happy for him as he awes. "That is my soon to be wife, stay away." Edge warns.
"Yes stay away." Jamie agrees with a scowl. She won't let anything to get in the way of this.
"Wow, Jamie acts and defends for you already. However, her scowl is cuter than yours." Christian acknowledges.
"I know right. I am going to have troubles with her when she is older." Edge agrees.
"Definitely, so since you are a part of this group we have some things to talk about."
"What is it?" Christian waves her over. Edge hands her over. "What is it, Mr. Christian?"
"Ooo, Mr. Christian I like that. Now that I have you in my arms, let me tell you about Mr. Adam's childhood." Christian starts.
"Christian!" He warns to tell her anything.
"Of course I can't." Edge breathes a breath out. "Michelle needs to hear this too." He carefully runs to Michelle with Jamie in his arms.
"What did we get ourselves into?" Jeff's dad jokes. They went from no one to take care to two families to take care of.
"More family, more fun, right?"
"Of course." Mr. Hardy kisses Mrs. Hardy before he closes the door.
