Stephanie and Hunter were sleeping in their bed when the house phone began to go off and both woke up to hearing their three boys crying. Getting out of bed, Stephanie went over to the phone to pick it and find out it was her dad. She saw her husband get out of bed to go take care of their sons while she would be on the phone.
"Hi daddy." she greeted.
"I'm sorry if I woke you up Steph, but Test asked me if you could come to the arena tonight. He wants to talk with you about something."
"Dad, I have to see if I'm free."
"He said it is really important."
"Okay, dad. I'll see you later tonight then."
Hanging up the phone, Stephanie released a deep breath as she hated being in a relationship with Test. She's tried to tell him it was just show, but lately, he's been acting like it's real and that worries her. Laying back on the bed, she looked at ceiling still trying to think of how to tell her dad. It's been a couple day since she had become a mother and was still trying to figure out on what to tell her family of the boys.
"Looks like two little baby wrestlers want their mommy." Hunter said as he carried in Dean and Seth to set them down on the bed.
Both of them crawled right to Stephanie who smiled at her two little boys that she sat up to hug them. Hunter then returned with Roman who was set down in his lap as the family relaxed in the big bed.
"What did your dad want?" Hunter asked as he picked up Seth who had crawled over to him.
"Test wants to talk to me later tonight about something important. Hunter he's going to want my answer about marrying him."
"I got an idea that some of my friends will help me with." Hunter said with a smirk as Seth began to try grabbing his hair.
"We can't leave the boys though." Stephanie set Dean down in her lap.
"How about I'll take the boys with me for today and have them watched by-"
"Can't you call Shawn to have him do it?"
"Shawn is going to be busy too and I can't do that to him. Don't worry though, the boys will be fine with me and the other DX members."
"So we now have to pack for a show that I wasn't planned to be in and also pack the boys up for a two hour and thirty-minute flight."
"We can just take the private jet which should be quicker," Hunter told her as he got up with Seth in his arms.
"Fine, but be prepared for three crying boys from flying."
Picking up Dean, Stephanie settled him into her arms as Hunter also picked up Roman. The two began to pack for an overnight trip along with things their sons would need with being from home. In their playpen, the boys watched their parents rush around the house getting everything packed and ready. Roman saw his dad carrying a pair of black wrestling trunks with a disgusted look on his face.
"Honey do I have another pair of clean trunks?"
"There should be one in the laundry basket on the dryer."
"Thank you."
Once they were all packed and they were all ready, Stephanie and Hunter took everything out to the car before getting the boys. The three were buckled in and their parents got in the front seats with Hunter driving. He drove to the airport where the private jet was waiting for them and they saw Shawn Micheals standing there with a smirk. Even though they were supposed to be enemies on television, the two were still the best of friends along with the other members of DX.
"Surprise, Surprise." Shawn said as he saw Hunter get out. "How is my favorite secret married couple?"
"We got a surprise of our own for you." Stephanie informed as she went towards the back.
Both her and Hunter got the boys out with Dean and Seth being carried by their dad in their carriers. A clear surprised look was on Shawn's face as he looked at the three boys with the couple. He went over to see Stephanie and Hunter's smiles before he looked at the two babies.
"We found them abandoned and took them in. This here is Roman," Stephanie told him as the boy looked at Shawn.
"Hi there little guy. I'm your Uncle Shawn."
"These two are Seth and Dean." Hunter informed.
"Now aren't you two adorable," Shawn said as he bent down with some of his hair hanging.
"Shawn be careful of your-" Hunter went to warn at seeing Seth reaching.
"Ow." Shawn cried at the strong yank. "He's got some yank on him."
"Seth likes to grab hair and not let go." Stephanie said as she then headed up the stairs of the jet.
Everything was loaded on by the two men while Stephanie got the boys settled down. She heard Shawn come over to start talking to the three boys in a small voice to get them laughing at the faces he made. Hunter put an arm around his wife at seeing the sight of his friend making his sons laugh. All of them took seats before the plane took off and that was when the three started to cry from their ears popping. The adults helped to calm them down and soon they were landing in Missouri. Shock filled Stephanie at seeing Test and her dad waiting by a limo as the plane began to stop on the runway.
"You guys need to hide now." she ordered her husband and Shawn.
Grabbing their luggage, both men hid in the bathroom as the stairs of the jet went down. Vince and Test walked on board to see Stephanie nervously looking down and then the two noticed the three boys.
"What is going on?" Vince asked his daughter.
"A couple days ago I found them and their orphans daddy. I took them in as my sons and don't want to give them up." Stephanie explained.
"Steph, you can't take care of three young boys on your own. Maybe we should take them to somewhere that can do that."
"No. They're my sons now and that's final."
"Okay. We can talk more about it later. At least let us help you get everything in the limo."
Test bent down to grab the suitcase by Seth and had his long hair tugged on by the baby. He glared at Seth who then began to cry his eyes out and Stephanie was at his side trying to comfort him. Once everything was in the limo, Stephanie picked up Roman who Test took for her and the boy seemed to not like being in the man's arms. Vince carried one of the carriers as Stephanie carried the other to the limo to settle the babies in it. She saw Test set Roman down who ran right to his mother to latch onto her leg and she picked him up into her arms to set him in his car seat.
"No like." Roman said to her.
"It's okay Roman."
"Daddy."
"Sh. I promise daddy will join us soon." Stephanie assured him quietly with a hand on the side of his face.
The limo pulled away and the two DX members came out of the bathroom to get themselves a taxi. Hunter was clearly upset that Test was going to be hanging around his sons while he had to keep himself unseen near them. Both men arrived at the arena to see Vince carrying Roman who was clinging to him while Stephanie rubbed her son's back. She took her oldest son while her dad got the babies to take into the arena for Vince's office where they could stay during the show. Test was left with unloading the limo of all the boys and Stephanie's stuff and he didn't look happy about it one bit. From down the sidewalk came the old members of DX who watched the scene amused.
"Who knocked Stephanie up three times?" X-Pac asked.
"Looks like different men from how the boys have different hair colors." Billy Gunn said with a raised eyebrow.
"Knock it off, you guys. Rumor has it that Stephanie found the three of them abandoned and decided to raise them as her own." Shawn explained to the three who looked shocked at hearing that.
"No way. She's so going to end up-" Road Dogg stopped at the glare Hunter gave him.
In Vince's office, he had Seth and Dean in his arms that were being rocked gently to sleep for their naps. From the doorway, Stephanie watched her dad as she held a fast asleep Roman and thought of pictures of him doing the same with Shane or herself. Once the babies had fallen asleep, Vince set them down in the carriers so they could rest. His daughter came in to set Roman down in the portable playpen that had been set up.
"Are you sure about this Steph?" Vince asked her.
"Yes, dad. Please understand that I don't want to give them up."
"I understand. Though I'll try to help you out in anyway that I can."
"Thank you, daddy."
Hunter came up to the doorway and saw the three boys were fast asleep so he sternly instructed his teammates to be quiet. He then entered to see Vince glare at him while Stephanie just looked at their sons.
"Cute boys." Hunter whispered. "I just came to get my match for tonight."
"Shane has your match opponent. Now out of my office."
A glance went between Hunter and Stephanie before he left the office as ordered to. Later on when the show had started, Hunter was set up to defend his WWF Championship against the Rock with Shawn and Shane as guest refs for the match. Hunter then saw Test was waiting in the hall and he knew what was on the man's mind. A child's laugh made Hunter and Test both look around to see Roman trying to run away from Vince with a big smile on his face. The boy wasn't paying attention and bumped into Test's leg who looked at Roman with annoyance on his face. Slowly tears began to form in Roman's blue eyes as he sat on the floor just looking at the tall man. Not being able to just stand by, Hunter kneeled down to pick the boy up who easily wrapped his arms around him.
"It's okay buddy."
"Thank you Hunter." Vince held his arms open for the boy to be handed to him. "Are you okay Roman?"
"Mommy."
"Okay. Let's go see what your mom is up to." Vince began to walk away from the two men with Roman clinging to him.
"Can't believe Stephanie got herself three little brats. All they do is become problems." Test said as he pushed some of his hair back.
"They're just kids Test. I mean the oldest can't be any older than one." Hunter told him a little upset. "Don't you want to be a father?"
"Rumor had it that Stephanie can't have kids. I thought I was free of that nightmare, but now she had to go adopt."
Hunter couldn't believe what the man was saying and wanted to punch him in his big mouth. Instead Hunter just left to find out where Shawn was so they could talk and come up with a plan. At Vince's office, Stephanie was kneeled in front of the babies waving a toy that they reached for. She looked up at the door opening for her dad and oldest son to come in.
"Roman accidentally ran into Test. Do you know if he wants kids Steph? The way he's been acting is kind of concerning."
"He's said in the past that he would like to have a whole bunch of kids."
"Maybe he just needs to warm up to the boys and all. It's not like he was expecting his soon to be fiancé to adopt three boys."
"I know daddy, but they're my sons now. Now I should start getting ready to head out to the ring to give Test his answer."
"Go ahead Steph. I can handle the boys on my own for a little bit."
"Thank you, daddy."
Stephanie left the office and headed out to the ring to get in it before she asked for Test come out by calling him by his first name of Andrew. When Test came out, she waited for him to get into the ring and he gave her a big smile as he stood in front of her.
"This Monday night, you asked me a question. And I said that I needed some time." Stephanie began as she put on her fake smile.
When she told him yes that she would marry him, the ring was slipped onto her finger before he got off his knees to stand up to kiss her. Suddenly Shane and his posse charged the ring to start attacking Test. Stephanie was pushed into a corner by her brother while she watched her now fiancé being attacked. Luckily Mankind came out to help Test and Stephanie was released to go right to Test's side on the floor. Above her, Mankind was in a match with her brother and she soon heard the sound of a chair to see Hunter had hit Mankind with one. Once everything had settled down, Stephanie went back to her dad's office to see him sitting on the couch with Roman as the boy played with a wrestling action figure. A smile was on Stephanie's face at how well her dad was with his oldest grandson. Though Test coming into the office made Stephanie turn to face him and she noticed his unhappy look at the boys.
"I'm heading to the hotel. Perhaps you and I could go talk there about somethings."
"Test. I can't leave my sons here." Stephanie told him. "I can walk you to your car for us to talk though."
"Okay."
The two left the office and Vince shook his head as he wished his daughter had just said no. He could tell that Test didn't want anything to do with the three boys and that didn't sit well with Vince. At Roman trying to say Macho, Vince laughed as his grandson moved the figure around. Turning on the television, Vince saw that the Triple H versing The Rock match was on and he frowned at Shawn's attire. Roman pointed at Hunter who had just hit a pedigree on The Rock to win the match.
"That's Triple H." Vince told him.
"Hi." Roman said as he saw Hunter and Shawn hug.
Soon Stephanie came into the office to see Roman had fallen asleep on Vince who was gently rocking Seth's carrier to get him back to sleep. She took Roman into her arms who seemed to snuggle closer as Vince picked up the carriers. As they were leaving the office, Shane, Chyna, Shawn, and Hunter were walking by to see them. Moving over, Hunter took the carriers from Vince to help him and that was when Chyna saw the two babies' faces.
"They are so cute."
"Thank you. Their names are Dean and Seth and right here is Roman."
"They remind me of these two when they're too drunk to be awake." Chyna pointed at Shawn and Hunter.
"I don't like that you said yes to Test." Shane told his sister.
"I'm sorry Shane, but I had to do this."
"Just know that you have until I do to call it off." Shane reminded.
"Would you like some help with getting these guys to the hotel?" Shawn asked as he took the portable playpen from Vince.
"Thank you for the unexpected help." Vince said a little shocked.
"We love kids. Plus who can resist these three adorable guys." Shawn looked at Roman's face.
A glance went between Hunter and Stephanie as they moved the boys out to the limo. Unknown to them was that Vince had noticed their glance, but thought it was of something beginning. He though could tell that Hunter would be a better dad than Test to his grandsons and perhaps even a better husband for his daughter.
