A/N: Grace is brilliant and Maria is pregnant just like Debra , so , the extended family is growing even more . The song in this chapter is not owned by me , but one that I found on the internet and thought would be a good lullaby for Grace from when Aubrey sang to her as a child .
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the wrestlers that appear in this story. I do own all of my OCs that may appear in this story and the story itself . I also on the Biohazard , Trifecta , and anything to do with them .

Chapter 14 : Phantom Horse
Following Monday Afternoon - Harris House
The next Monday after the meeting with the extended family about the Biohazard the Harris children were currently being watched by the Naturals , as Harris and Storm were still at the clinic and Jessie was at the Impact Zone to deal with up coming events with Knockouts Division . Andy Douglas also had Little A there and Dakota as the four members of Team Canada were going through evidence about the Biohazard and thought it would be best if Dakota didn ' t see anything incase it wasn ' t child appropriate . Katie was there with Chase as Traci was in the meeting with the Knockouts and trying to help Jessie deal with everything at the Impact Zone .
" Dakota , how is it you don ' t have homework ? " Grace asked .
" Gramps , homeschools me , so , I can get most of it done at his place before dad picks me up . " Dakota said .
" Gramps ? " Rosie asked .
" Yeah , Scott D ' Amore , " Dakota said .
" I didn ' t know the Coach could teach school . " Chase looked over at Dakota .
" He does good , " Dakota said .
" I wish my dad would at times . " Grace said .
" Why ? " Andy asked as he watched his son and the twins race cars on the floor of the Wildcat ' s living room .
" Because school is boring , " Grace said .
" You ' re not a trouble child are you , Grace ? " Chase asked .
" No , I don ' t cause trouble at school , I just don ' t like being in school all day . " Grace said .
" Look on the bright side , Grace . " Rosie said .
" What bright side ? " Grace asked .
" At least you only have four more years after this year . " Rosie reminded her .
" Somebody is going to high school . " Andy said still watching Andy Jr. and the Harris twins .
" Yeah , then on to bigger and better things . " Grace said .
" You already know what you want to do after school ? " Chase asked .
" Yep , once school is done and I graduate then its time for me to step into the family business . " Grace said pointing at herself .
" You ' re going to become a doctor ? " Andy Jr. asked confused .
" No , not that family business , I am talking about wrestling . " Grace said .
" Really now . " Andy and Chase both looked at her .
" I ' ve said it since day one that I would become a TNA Knockout and I haven ' t turned from that goal , yet . " Grace said .
" And what name will you wrestle under sis ? " Rosie asked .
" Grace Harris , the American Kid , " Grace said .
" The better question is who are you going to get to train you cause I already have my own trainers . " Dakota said .
" You too ? " Chase asked Dakota .
" Duh , Team Canada must reign forever which means I got to take over someday . " Dakota said .
" Team Canada , " Andy laughed .
" So , who is your trainer , Grace ? " Dakota asked again .
" Hopefully AMW , you ? " Grace looked at Dakota as she finished up with her homework .
" Coach D ' Amore , dad , and Uncle Bobby . " Dakota said .
" Hmm , " Andy Jr. said .
" What is it Fangs ? " Dakota asked .
" Fangs , " CJ and RJ said together .
" I thought we were partners ? " Andy Jr. looked at Dakota .
" We are partners , bro , just remember we ' re the Dynamic Duo . " Dakota said .
" Dynamic Duo , " Andy Jr. laughed .
" Oh , tag teams of today and tomorrow can ' t have cool tag team names like the Naturals , isn ' t that right , Andy ? " Chase laughed .
" Of course not , " Andy agreed .
" Dynamic Duo is pretty awesome , " Dakota said .
" Uncle Chase if we were going to have a cooler name than the Naturals then wouldn ' t we would have to be called Supernaturals ? " Andy Jr. pointed out .
" He has a point , " Katie said as Chase and Andy both looked at him with the mouths open .
" Wow , the Naturals just got owned by the Mini - Natural . " Rosie laughed as Grace was holding her ribs because she was laughing so hard at the look on the faces of the Naturals .
" So , who are you being trained by then ? " Dakota asked his partner .
" Them , " Andy Jr. pointed at the Naturals .
" Yep , " Chase said now that he had gained his ability to speak back .
" And " Franchise " Shane Douglas . " Andy Jr. said .
" If Shane is still training by then . " Andy laughed .
" But , pops already promised he would train me . " Andy Jr. said .
" Alright then , " Andy said .
" Oh boy we are going to have to watch out for the Little Natural . " Grace said .
" Yep , " Rosie said .
" Whose the Franchise ? " Katie looked at Chase .
" Oh yeah , you haven ' t met Shane yet . " Chase realized .
" Seriously ? " Grace looked at Chase .
" We ' ve been kind of busy , so , I haven ' t been able to get out to see him in awhile . " Chase said .
" Pops is amazing . " Andy Jr. said .
" So , you call the Franchise , Pops ? " Dakota looked at Andy Jr.
" Oh yeah , " Andy Jr. smiled .
" That ' s like Papa Jarrett . " CJ said .
" And Papa Sting , " RJ added .
" The extended family is that big ? " Katie looked at Grace .
" Yes it is , " Grace answered .
" And when you are apart of a wrestling family you can rest assure that everything will be okay dispite some dumb dumb group coming in to try and take over . " Rosie rolled her eyes as she finished her own homework .
" Dumb dumb , " Chase laughed .
" She ' s a Harris . " Andy said .
" We Harris people are awesome . " RJ said .
" Yeah , " Grace and CJ agreed .
Grace got down from the table taking her homework back upstairs to her bedroom and putting it in her bookbag as she grabbed a book off of her desk and went back downstairs sitting in the living room reading .
" What are you doing ? " Chase asked sitting next to her .
" Uhm , " Grace said as Chase looked at the book which had Martial Arts on it .
" I thought you were learning how to fight with a stick . " Chase said making Andy look at them .
" I am , but there ' s more that I can do with the stick then what I already learned and there ' s more ways to fight then just with a stick . " Grace said .
" So , you are trying to improve then . " Andy said .
" Yes , I am , " Grace said .
" Are you taking time out to recover properly after you workout and train , Grace ? " Chase asked a little concerned .
" Time out ? " Grace asked confused .
" Oh boy , " Andy said .
" With the way you answered and asked that I would say no , " Chase said .
" Look , Grace , both of us understand that you are wanting to get stronger and to the point where you can help take care of the family , but you need to take a day out or sometime out during your workout to allow your body to recover . " Andy said .
" Really ? " Grace asked .
" Yeah , it will help shape your body better and allow whatever workout you were doing to actually take some affect in your body and make you much stronger . " Chase said .
" And if you don ' t take time out to cool down and recover then it may even hurt your body later on . " Andy said as Chris and James walked in the door .
" AMW is here , " Rosie said hugging her dad and then Storm .
" Yay , " RJ and CJ doing the same as Rosie .
" Hey , little ones . " Chris said .
" You guys are actually here before mom ? " Grace looking surprised .
" Yeah , not so much going on today . " James said as Grace got up from the couch and hugged both of them .
" Anything happen here today ? " Chris looked at the Naturals .
" Nope , its been quiet all day . " Chase said .
" Which means the enemy could be plotting . " Andy said .
" They can plot all they want to , but there not getting very far with their plans . " Grace said .
" Of course not , " Chris agreed .
" Dynamic Duo is on the case , " Andy Jr. said .
" Dynamic Duo , " Dakota said .
" Huh ? " AMW asked .
" That ' s their tag team name , " RJ said .
" Really ? " Storm asked .
" Yeah , " Dakota and Andy Jr. said as they chest bumped knocking both of them to the floor .
" What was that ? " Chase asked .
" Dynamic Duo Chest Bump , " Andy Jr. said .
" Except I think we need to work on the landing , Fangs . " Dakota said .
" Sure Fury . " Andy Jr. said .
" Fury ? " Dakota asked .
" Yeah , because you are an unstoppable force , you know Fury . " Andy Jr. said .
" So , two nicknames down and three to go . " Dakota said liking his name as the two looked at the Harris twins .
" Us and Edward . " CJ said .
" Yeah , " RJ agreed .
" Do you notice how much Fangs and Fury over there are like their dads ? " Rosie asked Grace .
" Yeah , every time I ' m around them . " Grace going back to her book .
" Meaning ? " Andy asked when he heard Rosie .
" Meaning they are a little crazy like you and Petey , " Rosie said .
" Hey , " Andy Jr. and Dakota said at the same time glaring at Rosie .
" Uh oh , " Rosie said taking off up the stairs .
" Dynamic Duo , " Andy Jr. and Dakota said together taking off after Rosie as the twins and Katie laughed .
" Am I really that crazy ? " Andy asked .
" At times , " Chris and Grace both said .
" Don ' t worry bro , we still love you . " Chase said .
" Thanks , " Andy said , not long after the Rosie , Dakota , and Andy Jr. ran up the stairs did they here Little A scream .
The Naturals and AMW were up the stairs in a flash closely followed by the Grace , the twins , and Katie .
" What happened ? " Andy asked as he got to his son and saw him looking frightened as Rosie and Dakota came to the door looking at each other .
" I saw something outside . " Andy Jr. said pointing out the window making them look outside , but not seeing anything .
" There ' s not anything outside Little A . " Chase said as Andy picked him up holding him .
" But , it was there . " Andy Jr. said .
" What was there ? " Dakota asked .
" Phantom horse , " Andy Jr. said .
" What ? " Chris and James asked .
" I saw it , it was standing next to the building outside . " Andy Jr. said making Grace look at the shed and not seeing anything , but a shadow .
" Maybe your eyes was just playing tricks on you . " Rosie suggested .
" No , it was there . " Andy Jr. said .
" Okay , Cowboy , where are you keeping the phantom horse ? " Chase finally asked trying to make everyone laugh instead of getting creeped out .
" Its not mine , " Storm laughed .
" Uncle Chase , stop , its not funny . " Andy Jr. getting mad at them not believing him as he glared at Chase .
" Alright , that ' s enough , phantom horse or no phantom horse , you don ' t talk to your uncle like that , son . " Andy scolding Little Andy as the others looked at the kid shocked at his outburst especially Chase as none of them had seen Andy Jr. upset as he was normally happy .
Chase looked at his little nephew wondering what was up with the kid as Andy Jr. normally laughed at his jokes especially when he was trying to make the kid feel better .
" But , " Andy Jr. said .
" No , go and get your stuff together down stairs . " Andy putting his son down who went downstairs to do what his dad said .
" What ' s wrong with him ? " Chase asked .
" No idea , " Andy said .
" Fangs , " Dakota looked at the stairs and then out the window at the shed now wondering .
" You guys are about to go ? " Chris asked .
" Yeah , I need to deal with an issue . " Andy said .
" Hmm , " Dakota said looking Andy realizing the issue he was talking about his partner .
" Katie say your goodbyes cause we need to get ready to go , sweetheart . " Chase said .
" Okay , " Katie said .
" You too , Dakota , cause we got to take you to your dad ' s house . " Andy said walking downstairs .
" Uh huh , " Dakota said .
" Dakota , Katie , Rosie I need to speak with you . " Grace said as the other adults went downstairs .
" What about ? " The three asked .
" CJ , RJ , could you two go downstairs while we talk ? " Grace asked .
" Sure , " The twins went downstairs .
Grace then talked to them about the buddy system amongst the kids while Biohazard is around and causing a threat and even asked Dakota about special devices that Johnny Devine had that could help them keep in touch .
" Alright , I will talk to Devine about those and see if he won ' t help us out . " Dakota said .
" Okay , and make sure Andy Jr. is okay once you get a chance to talk to him . " Grace said .
" I will , so , what do you think it was he saw outside ? " Dakota asked .
" Don ' t know yet , but I will look into it . " Grace said .
" Me and you both will . " Rosie said .
" You ' re now taking part in the effort to stop Biohazard ? " Grace asked .
" They did try to take me hostage and played those mind games that nearly made me turn against dad and run away , so , yes I ' m in . " Rosie said .
" I ' m in , because I am tired of seeing these dumb teams try to harm our family . " Dakota said .
" I may not know the first thing about fighting , but I want to help . " Katie said .
" Alright , then , how about I bring some stuff to the Impact Zone , Friday afternoon and us kids have our own meeting about how to deal with this . " Grace said .
" Okay , " The three agreed .
" Dakota , Katie , " Andy called .
" Got to go , " Dakota hugged Grace and Rosie .
" See you Friday , " Katie said also hugging Grace and Rosie .
" You guys too , " Grace and Rosie said and then the Naturals were gone with Little A, Dakota , and Katie .
Grace walked outside after the Naturals left looking at the shed , but from that prespective it was impossible to understand what Little Andy saw , so , she looked at the house and saw the attic window . Grace went inside and ran up the stairs to where the door to the attic was and opened the door going to the window looking out at the shed , but when a bird fluttered by it scared he making Grace jump back and knocked a video tape off of the shelf next to her .
" Whoops , " Grace said as she picked up the tape and read the label on it Aubrey and Grace Harris .
" What is this ? " Grace asked a little shocked to find a tape with her and her real mother ' s name on it .
She pulled the tap out of the box it was in and saw a picture of her with her mom holding her and her dad standing behind them . Grace walked out of the attic closing the door and went downstairs to the basement with the tape and put it in turning the volume down to where only she could hear it and saw that it was a video of her mom singing to her , she couldn ' t have long been born , but still here was her mom , Aubrey Harris singing a lullaby to her . Grace also recognized this to be a song that her dad had hummed to her when she was in the hospital after the hostage situation and would cry with nightmares from the memories of that aweful place , her dad had also hummed this to her three years ago when she had headaches from the concussion Grace had received at the hands of Trifecta .
Hush now - my story
Close your eyes and sleep
Waltzing the waves
Diving the deep
Stars are shining bright
The wind is on the rise
Whispering words
Of long lost lullabies
Oh won ' t you come with me
Where the Moon is made of gold
And in the morning sun
We ' ll be sailing
Oh won ' t you come with me
Where the ocean meets the sky
And as the clouds roll by
We ' ll see the song of the sea
I had a dream last night
And heard the sweetest sound
I saw a great white light
And dancers in the round
Castles in the sand
Cradles in the trees
Don ' t cry - I ' ll see you by and by
Oh won ' t you come with me
Where the Moon is made of gold
And in the morning sun
We ' ll be sailing
Oh won ' t you come with me
Where the ocean meets the sky
And as the clouds roll by
We ' ll see the song of the sea
Rolling , rolling , rolling . . .
Oh won ' t you come with me
Where the Moon is made of gold
And in the morning sun
We ' ll be sailing free
Oh won ' t you come with me
Where the ocean meets the sky
And as the clouds roll by
We ' ll see the song of the sea
The more she heard the song and watched the video the more tears that fell down her face and she sat on the couch listening to her mom ' s voice for the first time in her life . Grace ' s dad had been right about how beautiful she was , to Grace , Aubrey Harris look like an angel sent from heaven to help them and maybe that was the reason she had been taken from them is because heaven needed their angel back with them . But , so , did her daughter , Grace needed her now more than ever as she was now becoming an adult and despite how much she loved Jessie , she wanted to be able to get to know her mother and just talk with her .
" Grace ? " Chris walked into the basement and heard the singing of his late wife ' s lullaby to their daughter , to Grace .
Chris walked further in with tears in his eyes as he looked at Grace curled up on the couch in the basement crying , he walked around sitting on the couch next to her and pulled his baby into arms holding Grace as she cried .
" I found the tape in the attic when I was trying to figure out what Andy Jr. saw earlier . " Grace said finally looking up at her dad and saw that he had been crying , too .
" You ' re mother use to sing that to you when ever you were scared or ill . " Chris said .
" And you hummed it to me when I was in the hospital after being held hostage by those bad people and when I had the concussion three years ago . You ' re not mad that I found this are you ? " Grace asked .
" No baby , where did you say you found it at ? " Chris asked .
" In the attic on the shelf by the window . " Grace said .
" I guess when we moved out of the apartment into this house a lot of stuff ended up in the attic and I haven ' t really had time to go through it . " Chris said .
" Yeah , this was in the case the video tape was in . " Grace handing Chris the picture of her , Aubrey , and him .
" Wow , you were only three months old in this picture . " Chris said .
" And look at the young Wildcat . " Grace said .
" Young , what do you mean by young ? " Chris tickled making Grace laugh .
" Mom looks like an angel . " Grace said making Chris look at her .
" She was and still is our angel , baby , " Chris kissed Grace on the forehead .
Soon the both of them left the basement , Grace had the tape of her and her mother in hand and the picture , she took the tape and put it up in her room then came back down the stairs to Storm who was sitting at the kitchen table drinking beer .
" You and Aunt Jackie , staying here again , Cowboy ? " Grace asked .
" Yeah , since Biohazard is around it seems best for us to be close by again . " James said .
" Look , " Grace showing him the picture .
" Wow , " Storm looking at the picture of Grace , Aubrey , and Chris .
" You were there when I was born right ? " Grace asked .
" Darlin , I was there when everyone of you little Harris rug rats were born . " Storm said .
" Really ? " Grace asked sitting be side him .
" Yep , I held you after your dad brought me into the room with you and your mom after you were born , I was in the room at the Impact Zone when Rosie was born , and I delivered both of your brothers , and believe me when I tell you that everyone of you are special and important to this here Cowboy . " James hugged her .
" Thanks , Cowboy , " Grace said happy that she had people like her dad and Uncle James that understood her and were willing to help with certain issues .
" Alright , lets get supper ready before Jessie gets here . " Chris said .
" Talking to yourself . " James said .
" It helps me to set everything straight in my head . " Chris said making Storm and Grace laugh .
" Speaking of set everything straight , dad , how exactly does RJ ' s inhaler work ? " Grace asked .
" Why would you want to know that ? " Chris asked curiously as James looked at her also curious .
" Well , if we kids are using the buddy system with Biohazard and I ' m partnered with RJ I just figured I would need to know how his inhaler works just incase an emergency comes up . " Grace said looking at her dad .
" You do have a valied point , alright , I ' ll tell you . " Chris said and then explained the function and right way to use RJ ' s inhaler to Grace .
" We may need to give him a spare just incase he ' s not at home or with you and Jessie , Chris . " James said .
" I thought about that same thing , " Chris said .
" And give the older kids first aid manuals . " Storm thought about it .
" That ' s not a bad idea either . " Chris agreed to it as he got supper ready .
" Wildcat is being the chef tonight . " Grace said .
" Just as long as there ' s not a hairball in it then we will be okay . " James said making Grace and Chris both laugh together .
