" Mommy,Mommy" Stephanie overheard Braden scream as he ran into the kitchen
" Hey where's your Uncle Jeff at" Stephanie asked
" Right here" Jeff said as he appeared in the doorway
" Why his my baby screaming" Stephanie asked
" I didn't do anything" Jeff smirked
" Liar" Braden stuck out his tongue as Jeff tried to tickle him
" You little" Jeff said as he ran after Braden.Stephanie shook her head and laughed
It had been two years but it seemed longer.Stephanie and Hunter didn't want to risk calling each other just for precaution.Stephanie was a 26 year old single mom.It hurt Stephanie knowing Hunter was missing out on stuff, and poor Braden didn't even know Hunter.
" Are we going out tonight" Trish asked as she walked into the door
" Yeah sure" Stephanie snapped out of her thoughts
" You okay" Trish asked
" Yeah I'm fine" Stephanie brushed it off
" Are you sure" Trish asked
" Positive" Stephanie smiled
They moved back to New York a month ago.They were trying to lay low but after two years the F.B.I had given up on the case
Hunter was in Mexico laying low with the other guys.He was currently sitting with Shane in the backyard.
" What's the status on New York" Shane asked
" I think if we went back then we should be safe" Hunter answered
" How did you find out" Shane questioned
" I still have connections back in New York" Hunter said
" So when are we going back" Shane asked
" I'm thinking tonight" Hunter sighed
" What about Steph" Shane was curious
" She moved back last month" Hunter said
" Shouldn't we tell the boys" Shane said
" Tell us what" Dave asked as he and Shawn appeared
" Get all the guys together were leaving tonight" Hunter ordered
" Yes boss" Dave said as he and Shawn walked away
Later that night Stephanie was out clubbin with Amy and Trish.While Jeff stayed at home with Braden
" Dude you need a bath" Jeff said as he grabbed Braden who was running around the house
" Why" Braden asked
" Because if I don't your mom will kill me" Jeff answered
" That hurts" Braden said with a quetionable look
" Yeah it does" Jeff laughed as he took Braden upstairs
The plane arrived at the airport as Hunter and the guys started to leave the jet
" Finally were back in America" Shawn kissed the cement when he got off the plane
" It wasn't that bad" Dave snickered as he walked behind him
" Yeah it was but right now I need some ass" Shawn said
" Not right now boys" Hunter said as he started to walk to the awaiting car
" Dammit" Shawn muttered as he got into the limo
" Are we going to see Stephanie" Randy Orton asked
" Yeah" Shane sighed
He didn't know if she would be happy or upset
Jeff who was giving Braden is bath heard a knock at the door
" Can you stay here for a second" Jeff asked
" Yeah go" Braden said as he pushed Jeff
" Your evil man" Jeff shook his head as he went to answer the door.
When he got to the door and opened it, he was happy but surprised
" Man your back" Jeff said as he gave Hunter a brotherly hug
" Hey Jeff" Shane said as Braden cam running towards Jeff naked
" Braden I said stay in the tub" Jeff said as the guys started to laugh
" Who these people" Braden asked as he walked over to them
" Hi little man" Shane stooped down so he was eye level with Braden
" You look like mama" Braden said
" Yeah I do" Shane laughed as Braden looked at Hunter
" I seen pictures of you" Braden pointed out
" Really that's cool" Hunter smiled at Braden
" Braden your getting water on the floor and that means that I have to clean it" Jeff said as he picked him up
" I so sorry" Braden laughed
" I highly doubt that" Jeff said as he let everyone in
" Get comfortable while I put this one to bed" Jeff said as he took Braden upstairs
Hunter walked over to the mantle and seen a picture of Stephanie carving a pumpkin with Braden on Halloween.He laughed when he saw Braden with cake on his face from his first birthday.Hunter could tell he was a ball of energy.
" God I've missed so much" Hunter muttered
" Stephanie's done a good job" Jeff interrupted as he strolled into the family room he had seen Hunter staring at the pictures
" I'm glad" Shane said as he sat down
" Where is she" Hunter asked as he leaned against the wall
" Out with Amy and Trish she'll be back soon" Jeff answered as Shane and Hunter remained quiet
After a few minutes they heard the door open.
Stephanie seen Dave first then Shawn
" What's going on" Stephanie asked Trish and Amy
" Hell if I know" Trish said
" Long time no see" Dave laughed as he hugged Stephanie
" When did you get here" Stephanie asked
" Not to long ago" Shawn said as Stephanie walked into the family room where she seen Hunter and Shane sitting with Jeff
" Hey there" Shane smiled as Braden ran down the stairs
" Braden James you should be asleep" Stephanie said
" I can't" Braden shrugged
" Why not" Stephanie asked
" Who these people" Braden asked again
" Braden why must you be so curious" Stephanie asked
" You love me" Braden laughed
" Yes I can't argue with that" Stephanie sighed
" Mama who they" Braden whined
" Okay look you see the one that looks like me" Stephanie asked as she pointed at Shane
" Yeah who he" Braden asked
" That's your uncle Shane" Stephanie said " and he's your dad" Stephanie said softly ad Braden ran over to Hunter
" Hi daddy" Braden smiled shyly
" Hey Braden" Hunter picked him up and Braden layed his head down on his shoulder falling asleep
" Do you want to lay him down" Stephanie asked
" Yeah can I" Hunter asked
" Come on I'll show you his room" Stephanie walked up the staircase with Hunter following
Trish and Amy watched on until they were out of site.
" Somethings never change" Trish laughed
" Trish what are you talking about" Shane asked
" You'll see" Trish smiled as her and Amy hugged Shane
Stephanie watched in the doorway as Hunter layed Braden down.
" He's not usually this easy to put down" Stephanie said as Hunter walked over to her
" I got the magic touch" Hunter shrugged
" Still cocky I see" Stephanie shook her head as she closed the door and went to walk downstairs
" Steph" Hunter grabbed her arm
" Not right now Hunter" Stephanie sighed as they walked down the stairs
When they reached the bottom stairs Stephanie seen them talking amongst themselves
" I guess you boys are tired" Stephanie asked
" You could say that" Dave said
" There are extra bedrooms upstairs to your right" Stephanie said
" Thanks Steph" Shawn kissed her cheek as he and Dave walked up the staircase
" We'll talk in the morning" Shane whispered as he gave her a hug and walked behind Shawn and Dave.
" Alright girl it's late" Amy said as she hugged her
" We'll see you in the morning" Trish said as they walked out the door
" Hey Steph" Amy stopped and looked at her
" Yes Amy" Stephanie asked
" Just what you've always wanted a house filled with guys" Amy smirked
" Shut up" Stephanie laughed as they left the house
Stephanie sighed as she looked over at Hunter.She shook her head and went upstairs to her master bedroom.She sat on the bed and seen Hunter walk in.
" Now can we talk" Hunter asked
" I really don't know what to say" Stephanie said as she looked away
Hunter reached out and cupped her face in his hands so that she had to look at him
" I missed you" Hunter whispered
