Chapter 16

An hour later, Traci and Jami stood at the door of the nursery. Traci laid a hand on her sister's arm. "I can do this by myself. You don't have to torture yourself like this." she offered. Jami shook her head and slowly opened the door. Jami felt her heart constrict as she thought of all the happiness that had went into decorating this room.

Traci dropped a bunch of boxes in the middle of the room and looked around to see where they should begin. Jami grabbed a box and moved towards the baby dresser. Traci brought in the CD player they had set in the hallway. She turned on the radio and Barenaked Ladies sang "fallin' for the first time". Then she moved to the crib with a box.

Jami was methodically folding and laying clothes in the box next to her. Traci kept an eye on her as she packed blankets and things from the crib. It was heartbreaking for Traci, she didnt' even want to imagine what her sister was going through at the moment.

Jami kept her shoulders and back straight as she kneeled to empty the last two drawers. Traci moved to the table to place the things inside it away. The radio continued to play in the background and Traci hoped they wouldn't play anything slow or sad.

Traci's blue eyes turned back to her sister. She saw Jami closing the box and moving it towards the closet. She opened the closet door and slid the box inside. "I'm not going to have us attempt the closet. We'll leave that." Jami whispered.

She grabbed another box and began to put miscellaneous things into it. Her back was to Traci, but she could tell Jami was biting her lip to keep the tears inside. Just then Creed's "My Sacrifice" came over the radio. Traci put her hand out to change the station but Jami's voice stopped her. "Don't" she commanded without turning around.

Traci watched her sister stand in the middle of the room as the song floated around them. "Well, I'll let you finish up. I need to go finish cleaning the other room." Jami said before bolting out of the room.

Traci sat on the floor, unsure of what to do. All she knew for sure was that Jami wasn't as okay as she was pretending to be. Before she had bolted out of the room, Traci had seen her eyes. The dead look was back inside them.

"Come on Traci! RAW is about to start!" Jami called as she at in front of the TV in the living room. "I'm coming! Keep your shirt on woman!" Traci bellowed back. Finally she joined Jami with a huge bowl of popcorn just as RAW began.

"Man, it's been forever since I've been on this side of the show." Jami commented. They watched as Stephanie came out and made some sneering comments about her father and everyone else. They laughed when Jericho came out and called her every name that he could think of. Thw show went by pretty fast for them.

The first main event was a match of Edge versus Christian. Amethyzt came out with Edge and the girls cheered for their friends. "Come on Tash!" Jami yelled when she delivered a low blow to Christian.

Edge won the match and hugged Amethyzt inside the ring. "Yay! Low blows totally reek of awesomeness!" Traci cheered. After the commerical break the Hardyz music started and both Matt and Jeff ran out with Lita right behind them. "Whoo-hoo, there's a sexay man!" Jami cheered.

As they entered the ring she noticed that Matt was handed a microphone. Jami watched, confused, since both guys usually weren't given microphone time.

"You know what Jeff? those damn Dudleyz are really starting to piss me off." Matt yelled. The crowd cheered when Jeff took the mic. "I agree Matt. They are pissing me off too. How about we teach them an EXTREME lesson." Jeff said. "I like your thinking Jeff. What do you suggest we do?" Matt asked into the mic.

The camera showed Lita standing there, looking confused. You could see her ask them what they were talking about. Then the camera showed Jeff, with the mic, looking at the crowd as they cheered.

"Well Matt...I say that at the next Pay Per View, Summerslam...we have a match against the Dudleyz, but not just any match. Do you know what kind of match I'm talking about Matt?" Jeff asked. "A TLC match?" Matt suggested. "Nope. Do you have any ideas Lita?" "uh, a table match?" Lita guessted. "nope. I'm thinking more of a...oh, a steel cage match." Jeff shouted and the crowd cheered.

Traci watched as Jami jumped up from her place on the couch. "What the hell? He cannot be serious!" Jami yelled. "Calm down." Traci told her. "No freakin' way can they be serious! A cage match? Holy crap, no!" Jami cried out before sitting back on the couch, her eyes glued to the TV, where it appeared that Lita was arguing with two smug looking Hardy Boyz.
