This story takes place after Vengeance 2002 (Where they signed the divorce papers and Triple H signed with Raw.) I wanted Coach in this story, so just pretend that he was with Smackdown, not Raw.
"Hey, Coach, do you know where Steph's office is?"
Coach looked up to see Triple H looking back at him. What was he doing on Smackdown?
"Uh, yeah. Go down the hall, turn right and it's the third door on the left."
"Thanks, man," Hunter said, and began walking towards the end of the hall.
Coach stood there and shook his head. Some how he doubted that Triple H had changed his mind and decided to join Smackdown. Then why was he there?
'Oh well,' Coach thought to himself.
He had to find The Undertaker and try to get an interview from him, which was never easy.
Hearing a knock on her door, Stephanie immediately stood up and called out
"W...Who is it?"
A second later there was a voice saying
"Steph, it's me."
Letting out a shaky breath, Steph turned around, so that her back was facing the door.
"Come in."
The door opened and in walked Hunter.
"Hey, Steph, I know you're probably busy, but I just thought you should know there's one more divorce paper to be signed."
Sighing, Steph nodded.
"So, what? You want to make a meeting with our lawyers?"
Hunter laughed.
"Well, that was the idea."
Keeping her hair down, half covering her face, she turned around and flipped through her planner.
"How about Wednesday? At about two?"
"Sure, that's fine. We'll meet in your lawyer's office."
Stephanie nodded, saying, "That should be fine."
Hunter noticed that she wouldn't look at him and her hair was covering her face. She was also very quiet, which was not her at all.
"Steph?"
Not looking up, Steph said "Yeah?"
Hunter took a step forward and moved her hair away from her face. Steph jumped back, away from his hand. Hunter quickly took hold of her arm with one hand and with the other he grasped her chin. Looking straight into her eyes, he saw the fear that was there.
'She's terrified!' he realised.
He then noticed something on her cheek. Letting go of her arm, he brushed her hair away with his fingers and gasped. On her left cheek, just below her eye, there was a bruise.
"What the hell happened," he demanded.
Stephanie began to tremble.
"N...Nothing. I fell, that's all."
Not believing her for a second, Hunter shook his head.
"Come on Steph. What happened? The truth."
Steph was not about to tell him and said,
"Why the hell do you want to know? It's not like you care about what happens to me anyway."
Hunter took a step back and sighed.
"Fine. You fell. You're right, I don't care. Just make sure you tell your lawyer to be there Wednesday."
Hunter then turned around and walked out the door.
Covering her mouth to hold back a sob, Steph collapsed in her chair.
God, she wanted to tell him so much. He could protect her and keep her safe. But he didn't care. She couldn't blame him. It was her fault that their marriage had ended in the first place. If she hadn't lied to him, then he might still care about her and then he could make sure no one ever hurt her again.
'Stop!' Steph thought to herself.
She couldn't keep thinking these things. She did lie and now Hunter didn't care. She was going to have to work out her problems herself.
On Wednesday at exactly two o'clock Hunter, his lawyer and Steph's lawyer were sitting in an office waiting for Stephanie to arrive. Ten minutes passed and she still hadn't shown up. After looking at his watch, Hunter stood up but before he could go anywhere, Steph came in.
"Sorry I'm late. I was busy."
Hunter looked at her suspiciously. The bruise on her cheek was half concealed by her hair, but the other half was visible. It had turned a yellow colour and she obviously couldn't cover it up with make up. That wasn't all. She had a split lip, which looked as if someone had punched her pretty hard and she had an arm around her ribs as if they were sore. What the hell was going on?
"That's fine. Please, have a seat."
Steph could hear the annoyance in Hunter's lawyer's voice.
Making her way to her seat, Steph kept her head down without looking at Hunter.
"Okay, now that Ms McMahon is here we can start things."
Steph could barely hear the two lawyers talking. The pain was incredible. She had never felt anything like it, not even when she had been hurt in the ring trying to help Hunter. Taking a deep breath, she tried to concentrate on the conversation that was going on but was unable to.
Hunter wasn't listening to the lawyers either. He was too busy looking at Steph. He could tell that she was in a lot of pain. He had never seen her like this before and just by seeing the look on her face, he knew it was serious. He wished he hadn't walked out on her on Smackdown. He should have made her tell him what was going on. He would, he decided, after the meeting.
Steph couldn't take it anymore. She had to get out of there. The pain was blinding and having other people watching her wasn't making it any better.
"Excuse me" she whispered, getting up out of her chair.
All eyes were on her as she took a few steps. She just stopped, with her back to the three men, so they were unable to see her face. Then, clutching her stomach, she collapsed.
Hunter was out of his chair and by her side in a flash.
"Steph? Steph, are you okay? Dammit, Steph, answer me!"
