A few minutes had passed and Stephanie and Hunter had sat there in silence not saying a word and it was starting to make Hunter nervous, "Stephanie say something, anything. You can tell me to get out if you want just as long as you say something."

She looked at him, "I don't know what to say; it's all come as a little bit of a shock to me. I never thought in a million years that you would be the one offering me an opening back into the WWE."

He shrugged, "as I said, people change and I feel I've changed and I know you've changed so I figured we could leave the past where it belongs, in the past and we could get on with the here and now. I really want you as our manager Steph as you're the best person I know for the job."

She sighed, "I don't know Hunter, it's all so much to take in. Can I have some time to think about it please?"

He nodded, "of course, as long as you don't mind me telling Chris that it was you I was talking about."

She nodded, "fair enough."

Hunter smiled and got up, "you've got my number, when you've thought about it and come to a decision, call me."

She nodded, "I will Hunter, thank you."

He shrugged, "no problem, I'll speak to you soon."

He walked out of the house and got into his car and started the drive back to his house.

As soon as Hunter had left Stephanie sat back down on the couch with her head in her hands, why the hell did he have to throw this on her now?

She was brought out of her thoughts by the phone ringing, "hello Steph speaking."

Marissa laughed, "things were stressful then?"

Stephanie sat up, "Rissa, how did you guess?"

Marissa smirked, "ah well you see you answered your phone as just Steph and that only happens when you're stressed. What happened? I want all of the juicy gossip."

Stephanie laughed at her sister in-law, "my meeting is going to fuel your gossip filled mind is it?"

"Yup, come on Steph I'm dieing here."

Stephanie shook her head, "alright then I'll tell you. Hunter came over and asked me to manage him and Benoit after what is going on with Evolution they feel they need someone."

Marissa was shocked, "he did WHAT?!"

Stephanie pulled the phone from her ear and shook her head to stop the ringing in her ear, "he wants me to manage him and Benoit, Benoit doesn't know it yet but he's going to talk to him now about it."

Marissa sighed, "you said no right?"

Stephanie bit her lip and there was a long pause and silence before Marissa cut back in, "you didn't say yes did you?"

Stephanie shook her head, "I didn't say no and I didn't say yes, I told him I would think about it and I will. I don't know what to do Rissa, what do you suggest?"

Marissa sighed, "it's a big thing for him to ask you and it must have taken him a lot of courage after your past together but ultimately the decision is down to you and whether you want it."

"Hunter wants to leave the past in the past and basically start new but I'm not sure."

Before they could talk anymore Declan started crying again and Marissa made her apologies and hung up leaving Stephanie to contemplate the proposal on her own.

Meanwhile when Hunter had walked through the door of his home he threw his keys on the table and picked up the phone and sat down dialling Chris Benoit's number, as soon as he picked up Hunter said, "well I talked to them and they're going to think it over, no promises as yet but I think I might have won them over."

Chris laughed, "so who are we talking about here? Bobby Heenan, Paul Heyman some other big managing name?"

Hunter shook his head, "actually no."

Chris sighed worried with what he was getting himself in to, "so exactly who are we talking about?"

Hunter bit his lip, "Stephanie McMahon."

Hunter then stayed silent waiting for something and all he got was, "are you sure you'd be able to work with her and she'd be able to work with you?"

Hunter sighed, "yes, we're leaving the past in the past and if she agrees then it will all work out fine."

Chris rubbed his chin, "you're actually onto a winner here if she agrees, she's excellent and very intelligent so she'd be perfect."

Hunter smiled, "I know, that's why I picked her. Well that and she's beautiful so Randy will be preoccupied by her."

Benoit laughed, "Hunter do you still have feelings for her?"

Hunter shook his head, "no, why?"

Chris sighed, "you called her beautiful."

Hunter ran a hand through his hair, "that means nothing. I've got to go, I'll call you when I know more."

"Alright Hunter, bye."

They both hung up and Hunter let out a loud sigh, "what have I gotten myself in to?"
