Paige mentally cursed as she looked at the door, to see Melina standing there, completely shocked. Paige glanced at Jeff, Hunter and Steph for help, but she knew that there was no way she could talk herself out of this one, and instead just nodded.
Melina narrowed her eyes at her, "Your telling me, that not only were you stupid enough to leave, you're stupid enough to come back?" She asked her.
Paige sighed, "I guess. If you look at it that way." She mumbled, while looking at the ground.
Melina shook her head, "I can't believe you! Do you not understand what your putting everyone through?" She scoffed, "Of course you don't. Because while you were off crying, and sitting in your own self pity, I was the one trying to cheer everyone up. I was the one assuring Mickie that you would come back, even though I didn't think you would. I watched as everyone looked broken, and depressed." Melina exclaimed, getting louder and louder as her rant went on.
Steph shook her head, as she got up and walked over to stand beside Paige. She started to talk, but Paige stopped her. "Look Melina, I know what I did, okay? It wasn't exactly easy for me.. And I don't expect you to understand. Hell, I don't expect anyone to understand. I panicked, alright? I was scared, and I didn't know what else to do." Paige told her, while looking at her.
The constant reminder that Melina could run off and tell everyone scared her. She wondered if she would be able to get away, and how far she could make it before it got around.
Melina was quiet for a minute, but then finally sighed. "I guess I can't say that I understand your logic. But, I know that it was most likely hard for you." She paused, "And no, I won't go telling everyone your secret. But, You shouldn't expect for this to work out for you. There is no way that you can keep it up for long. I never knew you that well, But I knew you well enough to know that you love your family, and you can't stay away from it." Melina then turned around, and walked out of the room, leaving Paige to fall to the ground, and rest her head in her hands.

Jeff sighed as he walked around the arena, the earlier events still fresh in his thoughts. He had told her the minute she presented her plan, that it wouldn't work, and people would figure it out. He just couldn't understand how she had finally talked him into it. He felt so stupid for not being harsher, and not letting her try to get back into the WWE. But the thought of having Paige with him all the time, must have beat the reasonable truth, that in the end, it would all blow up.
"Jeff? Hey Jeff!" Jeff stopped as he heard his name, and chuckled as he saw Shannon Moore running after him.
"Hey Shan, What's up?" Jeff asked him.
Shannon shrugged, "Nothing, except that I heard your not planning on going to Jeannie's party in two days."
Jeff sighed, he had a feeling that someone would approach him about it sooner or later. "I don't know Shan. I was going to stay with Lexie and Kenzie."
Shannon rolled his eyes, " You haven't missed Jeannie's birthday in years. Everyone will kill you if you don't go, including the girls." He exclaimed.
Jeff nodded, "I guess you have a point.. Fine. But, I'm riding with you and Matt then."
Shannon grinned, "Sweet! I knew I'd be able to talk you into it. Matt so owes me twenty dollars now! See you later Jeff!" Shannon then ran down the hall, leaving Jeff laughing.

Paige rolled her eyes for what seemed like the thousandth time. "I'm serious Paige. She's your mother, you can't just send her a card!" Stephanie exclaimed.
"And why not? That's what I've been doing for years." Paige pointed out, only for Steph to glare at her.
"Shes your mother! You should go see her, or call her!" Steph ordered.
Paige scoffed, "Weren't you the one telling me not to go to the party? And even if I went to see her, She'd see how I'm different, and recognize me from the show. Smart one Steph." She said, while once again, rolling her eyes.
Stephanie glared at her, "And what about calling her? Give me a reason for that?"
Paige sighed, "Why not? Because.. I wouldn't be able to handle listening to Jeannie cry and beg me to come back. That's why." Paige stated, while crossing her arms.
Steph was quiet for a minute, "I'm sure there's a better idea then giving her a card with no return address." She muttered.
Paige shrugged, then looked at the door as Hunter, Kenzie and Jeff came walked in. "Momma!" Kenzie exclaimed while running over to Paige.
"Hey Baby." Paige greeted while hugging her daughter.
"So Paige, we decided that your going to come with me on the trip to Jeannie's, but you will be staying in a hotel a couple blocks away. That way it seems like your coming, but last minute, you and Kenzie are going to feel sick, and stay behind." Jeff explained to her.
Paige grinned, "That's it! Steph, I'll call her, but I'll get Jeff and you guys to make sure she doesn't answer her phone, so it goes to her answering machine and then I'll leave her a message!" She exclaimed, and Steph grinned, nodding in approval.
Hunter groaned, "This whole thing is going to blow up. I still say she should stay away from Jeannie." He complained, but Steph quickly glared at him.
Paige grinned at everyone, "So, when do we leave?"

"Paige? Get up. I'm leaving soon." Jeff told her.
Paige yawned as she sat up, then glared at Jeff for waking her up from her nap. "Alright alright. Where's Kenzie?" She asked as she got up.
"Over there, playing with her toys." Jeff said, while motioning to the little girl.
Paige smiled at her daughter, then turned to Jeff, "You know the plan, right? You three get everyone away from the phones, then text me telling me to call. If Jeannie gets to a phone, I will kill you." She warned him, smiling.
Jeff chuckled, "Fine. Though if I can't text you, Ill call you. I have both of your phones on speed dial, so I'll just press buttons." Paige nodded, then looked as Steph and Hunter came into the room.
"Okay, so I'll be the first one back, since Jeff and hunter will want to mingle. Remember to keep an eye on your phone, and try to make the message short, but sweet. Especially since it will passed around, and everyone will have heard it." Steph told her, and Paige nodded.
Hunter looked at his watch, "Alright, We better get going or we'll be late. Jeff, do you need a ride?"
Jeff shook his head, "No, Shannon and Matt are driving me. I'll see you two there." He said, while hugging both Kenzie and Paige goodbye, then leaving.
Paige waved at Steph and Hunter was they followed him out. "Well, Looks like it's just you and me Kenzie." Paige said while dropping onto the couch and sighing.

Jeff forced a smile as he got out of the car, and followed Shannon and Matt up to the door of the big house.
"Come on Jeff. I know your upset Lexi couldn't come, but you should still be excited! It's been awhile since we've seen everyone!" Shannon exclaimed as they let themselves in and walked inside.
Jeff chuckled at his friend. Truthfully, It wasn't that she wasn't there that bugged him. It was that he was extremely nervous for there plan, and he had a feeling it wouldn't go how they hoped it would.
"Jeff! Hey!" A somewhat short blonde greeted him.
"Hey Ash!" Jeff grinned as he hugged her. "How are you?" He asked her.
Ashley shrugged, "I'm good. Excited to be here." She gushed, then grinned, "So Jeffery.. Where's your little friend?"
Jeff couldn't help but laugh. "Way to be direct Ash. Who told you, Shannon or Matt?"
Ash grinned, "Not telling! Now speak! We wanna meet her!" She exclaimed while playfully pushing him.
"She's not feeling good, and her daughters sick, so they stayed behind." He explained to her, and Ash frowned.
"That sucks. I was excited to meet her." She pouted then ran off as someone called out her name.
Jeff sighed, then walked over to Steph and Hunter as he spotted them. "I have a feeling, this is going to be harder then we thought." He muttered.
Steph nodded, "Defiantly. There is a lot more people here then I thought there would be."
Jeff groaned, "Who's great idea was this anyway?" He asked, and Steph bit her lip.
"It was Stephs." Hunter told him, and Jeff shook his head.
"We should probably get this over with quickly. She's calling her cell, right?" Jeff asked and Steph nodded.
"We figured it was better, that way we have less phones to protect." Steph told him.
Jeff sighed, "Alright then. Let's go find Jeannie, and make sure she doesn't answer her cell phone."

John Cena laughed as Jeannie brought up memories from when him and Paige were younger. "Those were the good days. Then remember when you two refused to sleep for days until you guys finished your monopoly game?" Jeannie said, while laughing.
Dave laughed, while shaking his head, "I remember that. You only ended up stopping because you both fell asleep, and Paige ended up knocking the board over in her sleep."
The three of them busted into laughter, the all stopped at the same time. "I still can't believe you talked to her." John told Dave, shaking his head.
"I know, I was so shocked when she actually picked up. I just wish she wouldn't have hung up." Dave said, while sighed.
"I won't lie to you both, I was hoping she would show up tonight." Jeannie sighed, "I didn't even get a card this year."
Dave rolled his eyes, "I would love to know what got into her. She was never one to just leave.' Dave complained, then turned to John. "We should try calling her. If she made on mistake, who says she won't make another!" He pointed out.
John nodded, then looked at Jeannie, "What do you think? Should we call her?"
Jeannie paused for a minute, then nodded. "I say we try. Dave, you get the cordless from the kitchen, John you get the one from the living room, then meet me in my office. That way, if by some miracle she answers, we'll all be able to talk to her." She exclaimed, while walking away from the guys, hoping, that she'll be able to talk to her daughter.
