The day after Taker and Judy got back from Reno,
Kane and Kali moved into
their house. Later that evening while they were all
having dinner, Judy and
Taker announced their engagement.
"Wow! That is great to hear. I'm so happy for you
both." Kali said as she
got up and hugged Judy. "When's the big day?"
"Well, sometime in the spring. We don't have a
definite date yet, but I'd
like sometime in May." Judy replied, her eyes
sparking with pure
happiness.
"Well, again, congratulations!" Kali said
sincerely. .
They talked for a short time longer and then decided
to call it a night. By
time Judy and Taker got out the door, CJ was sound
asleep on Kane's shoulder
and Kaliegh was hiding yawns behind her hand. The
made plans to get together
again in a few days.
*************
The next few weeks flew by in a blur and soon it was
time for Kane to go
back on the road, taking Kali and CJ with him. The
first show that Kaliegh
was to take part in was a live RAW the week before
Survivor Series. She was
to jump out of the crowd and run into the ring,
coming to Kane's aid after a
severe beating by the Big Show.. Sounded easy
enough, but Kaliegh was
nervous as hell. After arriving at the hotel, she
didn't even think when she
pulled a cigarette out of her purse and lit it.
"Kali, put that out!" Kane said harshly as he turned
angry eyes on her.
"What?" Kali asked him, her eyes full of
confusion.
"I said, put that out!" Kane angrily grabbed the
cigarette from her hand and
pitched it out the open window in their room.
"Kane, was that really necessary? One fuckin'
cigarette isn't going to hurt
her. Christ!" Kali fairly yelled at him and then bit
her tongue when she
remembered that CJ was in the room with them. "We
will be discussing this
later!" Kali added and then went into the bathroom,
slamming the door hard
enough to shake the walls.
The show that night went off without a hitch. And
Kali really looked forward
to doing more shows and becoming more involved in
the matches once the baby
was born.
The next few months on the road were rough and
tiring. Kane and Kali argued
constantly about everything. She was beginning to
think that coming with him
on the road had been a big mistake. Kali had thought
about talking to Judy
about what was happening with her and Kane, but she
always backed out at the
last minute, not wanting to burden her friend with
her problems.
Kali didn't have to tell Judy about the problems she
and Kane were having.
Every time Kali called her, Judy could hear the
sadness in her voice. When
Judy saw her when they came home ever now and then,
the miserable look in
her eyes could not be denied. The time was never
right though, so Judy never
did get a chance to ask her what was going on.
Finally a week before Judy and Taker's wedding, Kali
could take no more. She
hated it when she and Kane fought, seemingly for no
reason. That night after
the event she confronted Kane about it.
"Kane, I really cannot take anymore of this
fighting. What happened with us?
I don't understand…" Kali broke off as tears fell
from her eyes and sadness
choked her voice.
"I don't understand it either, love…." Kane said
softly as he pulled her
into his arms. "It's like we've become two totally
different people over the
past few months. I don't like this fighting any more
than you do…."
"Kane, maybe CJ and I should go home for a
while….Maybe a little time apart
is the only thing we need." Kali suggested, even
though she didn't like the
idea of being away from Kane.
The next day Kali and CJ did go back home. And when
Kane came back a few
days later for Judy and Taker's wedding, things were
good. But it didn't
last. Within a few days, Kane and Kali were once
again fighting, with no end
in sight. Not knowing what else to do, they
separated.
Judy and Taker felt awful for their friends. Taker didn't understand
how Kali could have changed so! She had become an absolute shrew! He
pitied poor Kane!
"I feel sorry for Kali right now!" Judy said softly as she snuggled
against her husband. His arm was around her holding her close. They had
just made love.
Looking at her as though she had lost her mind,the big man blurted out
in surprise "You feel sorry for KALI? WHY, for Gawd's Sake? It's KANE
you should feel sorry for!" Just a hint of irritation had crept into
his voice. WOMEN!!!! Always sticking together!
Laughing gently, she ran her hand over his massive chest! "Yes, KALI!
Her hormones are all screwed up right now. She feels unattractive and
unloved! Pregnancy messes up your whole psyche! She feels like crying
about half the time! This is a rough time for her!" Her nails lightly
scraped across his sensitive nipples, causing him to shiver slightly,
as his body began to respond to her touch. "Sweetie, maybe you should
try and explain this to Kane. Maybe he would be a little more
understanding!" Her eyes had darkened with desire as she, too became
aroused.
With a growl, Taker pulled her on top of him, and soon all thoughts of
Kane and Kali were banished.
****************
Two months later on a beautiful spring day, Kali and
Kane's daughter was
born. Kane was on the road at the time, but
immediately flew home when Kali
called him to tell him. Together they named her
Sierra Sheyanne.
"Angel, I'm sorry I wasn't here with you….I should
have been here. You
should not have had to do this by yourself." Kane
said softly, as he
searched her eyes, looking for any sign of love that
may have still
remained. Kane sighed with relief when he saw love
shining brightly in her
eyes. Taking her in his arms, he lowered his lips
to hers in a kiss that
was filled with every ounce of love that he had for
her.
Afterwards, they talked, Kane telling her about the conversation he'd
had with Taker.
"Judy told him that it was your hormones making you crazy most of the
time." Kane hoped it was so.
Laughing softly, Kali realized it was true, wondering why she hadn't
thought of that before! "Let's don't fight anymore! I love you with all
my heart!" Then kissed him again. The soft misty look in her eyes,
telling him better than her words ever could.
Time passed, and Kali and Kane had another child that next year! Eleven
months later, actually! This time it was a boy. C.J. was beside
himself, having not only a baby sister, but now a baby brother as well.
One would have to question who was the most proud, the parents or the
four year old.
Judy and Taker quietly celebrated their second anniversary at home.
Suddenly she lifted startled eyes to her husbands beloved face.
"It's time!" She informs him in a choked voice. And before midnight was
delivered of a baby girl.
Taker had passed out in the delivery room! He had insisted on being
there, wanting to share in the birth of their child. Judy had called
him everything but a child of God, by the time the 8 lb. 15 oz. little
girl made her appearance. The nurses didn't know what to do when this
giant of a man passed out when the doctor informed them the baby's head
was visible.
One year later, while Judy was having #2, Taker sat in the waiting
room! He'd had enough of the joys of child birth the first time, thank
you very much!.
Kane and Kali eventually moved to Las Vegas when Kali was offered a
job at one of the most
exclusive Tattoo Shops there. They all remained close with even then.
Thanksgiving was spent in Vegas, with Christmas celebrated in the
Smokies! Both couples wanted their children to grow up knowing each
other. Judy would take Kali's three during the summer months, then Kali
would return the favor after the holidays.
One day, while dusting the living room, Judy's thoughts had been on
Kali all day. Finally she decided to call her friend when she finished.
Taker was due home just anytime now. The phone rang just as she passed
it.
"Hello!" She said.
"Judy! Guess what?" Kali was bubbling over with excitement.
"Hey there! I was just thinking of you! What's up?" She asked,
delighted to hear from her friend.
"Kane and I are going to have another baby!" Kali's obvious happiness
brought a smile to Judy's lips. She was glad Kali had been able to put
all the bad stuff behind her.
In happy times and difficult times. No matter what the
situation, they all knew
that if they ever needed any body they were always there for each other.
