[Quick Authors Note: I know that I am doing a lot of Flashback with Stephanie but in this one you will get a mix of Randy's too. We will just say that he was thinking about the same thing at the same time that she was. It will all make sense in the story. Just wait and see I promise you will not be disappointed.]

Shane watched his baby sister sitting there, her whole world turned upside down by a simple mistake. He couldn't help but wish that he would be able to help her but there was nothing that he could do. He already made Randy pay, in his own way, and Vince couldn't take him out of his long term deal without causing a huge lawsuit that the company couldn't afford at that time. The only thing that McMahon family could do to help Steph was make Randy job for the next ten years of his contract-- something that Shane planned on making happen. And seeing that Stephanie agreed to it, by law, their hands were tied. "Steph, I wish that there was something that I could do, honestly. But you have to stop worrying about it. You have a beautiful family. You did what you could to protect them. If Paul can't understand that then he is not worth your time.

As she looked up at her brother she nodded. "I know. It is just, it's really not fair and I know that I made the choice that I did but it would be so much easier if he would just let me explain. Then if he wanted to walk away he could." She shrugged a bit getting up from the seat that she was sitting in picking up a small toy on the floor.

"He probably just needs some time. Just give it some time." Shane nodded slowly. "I just wanted to come check on your though and make sure you were okay." He continued as he hugged his sister. "If you need anything you know where to find me." He smiled as he kissed him sister on the cheek and headed out the door.

As much as she hated to admit it, she knew that Shane was right. If Paul loved her then he would have listened to her. After everything that they had been through together he should have listened to her. It might not have made things right but at least he wouldn't think what he thinks of her.

Stephanie walked over to the kitchen table, cleaning up a mess that was there. Her eyes glanced down at the wedding pictures once again as she drifted off into space.

**Flashback**

A visibly pregnant Stephanie McMahon walked down the hallway of the Mohegan Sun Arena, home of the evenings show. She had just found out, earlier in that day, that she was having twins; a little boy and a little girl. She walked slowly to her office. She should have been on cloud nine but as she looked down at the paper she knew something was terribly wrong. She sat down at her desk looking over the paper. The conception date was something that threw her for a loop. She hadn't thought about that day in months but there is was, in black and white, the evident proof that could forever remind her of the events of that evening. How was she supposed to explain this? How was she going to tell explain to her husband, that she loved more than anything in this world that the babies she was carrying could belong to another man?

"Hey Stephanie; how are you doing?" Vince smiled as he knocked on the door walking in. "How is my little girl doing?"

She smiled a bit pushing the papers inside her desk. "I am great." She smiled a bit. "Did Hunter tell you about the twins?"

"Yes, that is so exciting. He was running around tell everyone. You know how he is." He smiled at his daughter. "I know that you are taking maternity leave soon so I will have all the pre scripts written for you so that you can take them with you. I also wanted to let you know that we are putting Hunter into a program with Randy again. I figured with you being pregnant we can say that Randy is the father of the kids and Hunter finds out because of Randy having pictures or something to that effect."

Stephanie swallowed hard as she looked at her father. There was no way she was going through with that, no way at all. "No dad. I am not going to be a part of it. You want to have them do a storyline that is fine with me but I do not want me or my kids involved. I am putting my foot down and I do not want to hear anything else about it." She shook her head looking at him. "And that is the final answer."

Vince looked at his daughter. "Fine, I can respect that. You won't be a part of it." He sighed. "Just check those over while you are out and then get back to me."

Once Vince left Stephanie sat in the office looking at the paper she had taken from her desk draw. March 27th. She slowly felt the tears rolling down her eyes as she picked up the phone dialing a number. "Hi I need to see about making an appointment to get a paternity test. Yes as soon as possible. Yes. Thank you." She scribbled the names down on her paper and slowly get up, only to find Randy Orton standing with a smile on his face. "How long were you standing there?" She looked at him.

Randy laughed cynically. "Long enough to know what is going on."

Stephanie eyes turned a sad shade of gray as she watched him walk over to her, his fingers moving up her swollen stomach. "Randy just go."

He watched her as the evil smile appeared upon his face. "I am not going anywhere. I realized now that these babies could be mine and there is no way that I am leaving your side until I find out the truth." He stood in front of her.

She slapped his hand from her body. "The truth, you really want the truth. The truth is that you might have possibly ruined my entire life. The truth is that you took thing and made them way more than what they needed to be. The truth is that my kids, my life might be tossed into something that I never wanted to happen and I did it all to protect my family. You want to sit there like you are proud of yourself. Like you did something that you are so happy with. You don't think Randy. You don't understand the consequences of your actions and that is something that I might have to live with for the rest of my life." She sighed softly. "Just get out of my office."

Randy's eyes watched her. Sure he knew it was his fault that she was feeling this way but it was all just a part of the plan. "Stephanie what you fail to realize that if these children are mine then I want a part in their lives, I want to be a good dad to my kids."

Stephanie looked at him and simply glared. "Are you seriously kidding me, a good father to these kids? You know what Randy don't worry. They are not yours and won't ever be yours. I didn't even get pregnant that night. It was a few days earlier." She lied.

Randy chuckled. "Then why are you calling about a paternity test Steph?" He watched her. "There is no reason to lie about it. It is going to come out in the long run. No matter how much you try and pretend it didn't happen, it did and there is a huge chance that those kids could be mine." He smiled as he placed his hand back on her stomach.

She had about all she could take. She glared at him throwing his hand off her one more time before punching him in the face. "I swear to you Randy, if you ever come near me again or touch me.. That will be the end of you.. And no I am not threatening that. I am making you promise. Now GET OUT OF MY OFFICE." She watched him walk out and slowly rubbed her hand. She wasn't going to let him get the best of her no matter how much he wanted to.

Stephanie smiled as she looked back at the table. That was the one good part of that day, Punching Randy Orton in the face. It was the highlight of every bad thing that happened to her. Two weeks later she would give birth to the twins and that was when it came out. Randy Orton was standing there as the proud poppa of a baby girl. Paul was left to deal with everything that was going on. Once Stephanie got the results and accepted the initial shock of it all she was left with having to tell him. Only he refused to even look at her let alone listen to what she had to say. Paul was proud of his little boy so named after his dad Paul Jr. but he wanted nothing to do with the beautiful little girl who looked identical to Murphy, Arielle. Her marriage was over from that day and she knew it.

Stephanie listened to the words that Shane said over and over in her head as she closed the wedding album setting in on the shelf. If he did love me then he could listen to me.. and he won't. So you know that there is no reason trying to change thing. She said to herself

Vince McMahon sat at the desk in his office. Shane just called and told him how upset she was, to which he let Randy know. "If you want your chance with her then I suggest you get yourself over their right now. We didn't do all of this just to see it fall through." Vince hung up the phone and looked at the picture of Stephanie and the girls. "I did this all for you guys. I just hope you understand that. And I hope the truth will never come out."
