Chapter 9

"Do you want to talk about it?" Matt asked his baby brother. Matt hadn't left his side since Lita and Tasha had led him back into the waiting room. "Matt, my baby. He's gone. I know he is. He was so tiny. I named him. Joshua Moore. I thought he should have a name before he died." Jeff said numbly.

Matt looked up at Lita who nodded, "The doctor came out while we were in the hallway. Joshua Moore is gone." she whispered.

"Jeff, would you like to go see Jami?" Jeff heard a voice ask. Jami's nurse friend, Kim, stood there. Jeff nodded and followed her from the room. The urge to see Jami, commanded his feet.

Jeff stared down at her. Jami still looked pale, but her cheeks weren't flushed now. She looked peaceful. He bent down to kiss her forehead and her eyelids fluttered open. As he looked into her brown eyes, he could see that she wasn't all the way with him yet.

"Jeff, our baby...he's going to be okay, right?" Jami asked in a voice you could barely classify as a whisper. Jeff squeezed her hand, not sure if he should tell her yet. Instead he whispered back to her, "I named him already. I hope you won't be mad. I named him Joshua Moore." Jami smiled wanily. "Does he look like a Joshua Moore?" she asked.

Jeff smoothed her hair, fighting tears. He kissed her forehead again. "Yes baby, he looks like a Joshua Moore Hardy. You should go back to sleep. You need your rest." he told her. Jami closed her eyes, another smile beginning to play on her lips. "Yes, you are right...I do need my rest. I have a baby to take care of." She said sleepily. Jeff wiped the tears from his eyes before they had a chance to fall

Jeff slowly walked back into the waiting room where everyone was waiting. "How is she doing?" Torrie Wilson asked. Jeff looked around the room to see who'd arrived while he was gone. He saw Torrie, along with her sister Holli and Billy Kidman, Trish, Test, Chris Jericho, Christian, RVD, Crash Holly, Spike Dudley, Shane Helms and Ivory. the waiting room was getting to be very crowded.

Finally Jeff turned to Torrie. "She's okay. She doesn't know that Joshua is gone. She kept asking about him. I couldn't tell her that the baby she loved so much was gone. I told her to get some rest, she'd need it. She agree'd. Said she need rest because she had a baby to take care of. I can't tell her." Jeff cried, losing his composure as he imagined how pain filled her brown eyes would become once she knew.

Matt got up and wrapped his baby brother in a hug. "Shhhh....Jeffy, it'll be okay. Jami willl get better and you'll be able to start all over again with her." Matt comforted.

Jeff walked slowly towards Jami's room onceagain. As he neared the room he saw Kim leaving. She grabbed Jeff's arm. "Jeff, she knows." she whispered.

Jeff quickly stepped into the room. Jami was sitting up in the bed, tears running down her cheeks. She didn't even look at him when he entered. "Our baby. Gone. It's all my fault." Jami whispered.

Jeff stode over to her but when he reached out to touch her, she shrugged him off. "Why? Oh God, why?" she yelled, wrapping her arms around herself and rocking back and forth.
