Walking through the arena with Mikey by her side she couldn't deny that the wrestlers they passed gave her a funny look as she held Mikey's hand but none of them were brave enough to step up and say anything to her.

Taking Mikey through the guerilla she carefully walked out onto the stage and immediately spotted Scott from a time back when she was around all of the time.

Turning to face Mikey she smiled softly, "now watch where you're stepping okay Mikey?"

Obediently nodding his head Mikey held onto Bubbles tightly and followed Stephanie over to the guy.

Moving to stand behind Scott she gently tapped him on the shoulder, "how's it going?"

Scott jumped feeling a tap on his shoulder, spinning around he was surprised to see Stephanie stood in front of him, "Stephanie, long time no see. What are you doing here?"

Laughing softly she motioned around, "running this mayhem of course, someone has to whilst my Dad is unable to. How are things going? Are we running on schedule?"

"Well seeing as I didn't know if anyone would be here to run the shows I've actually had the guys working flat out and we are actually ahead of schedule."

Whilst his Mom was occupied talking Mikey was looking around taking in the size of the arena when his eyes settled on the ring and without saying a word to his Mom he carefully stepped over the tools and walked down the ramp to stand by the ring.

Trish, Lita and Kelly were working out in the ring pairing up and trying out some moves together.

Whilst Lita and Kelly were testing out moves on each other Trish stood back in the corner to keep out of the way but as she stepped back she noticed a small child stood at ringside and there was nobody with him. Carefully climbing out of the ring he jumped down onto the floor and stood next to the little boy, "hi there. My name's Trish, what is yours?"

Mikey was in awe of the wrestlers in the ring and couldn't stop staring at them and the way they were running off the ropes and jumping in the air. When Trish jumped down next to him he nervously took a step back until she spoke to him and then he looked up at her, "Mikey."

Seeing he was nervous Trish knelt down next to him, "well hello there Mikey, it is very nice to meet you. Where are your parents?"

Pointing to the top of the stage he said, "Mommy's over there but I wants to play in the ring."

Chuckling softly Trish looked at Lita and Kelly who had now stopped wrestling and were just stood around, "hey girls do you mind if I let Mikey here get in the ring and run around?"

Lita nodded and Kelly shrugged her shoulders so Trish gently picked the little boy up and placed him on the apron as Lita held the ropes open for him to climb inside and once inside still holding on tightly to his cuddly toy he ran around in a circle inside the ring having an absolute ball.

Stephanie turned around once she had finished talking to Scott to talk to Mikey but as she looked around she saw that he was nowhere in sight and she started to panic but as she looked to the ring her eyes immediately became trained on a small figure running around the ring and she shook her head and muttered, "you are in deep trouble Mister."

Stalking down to the ring she stood by the apron and gripped hold of the middle rope, "what do you think you are doing Mikey?"

At the sound of his Mother's voice Mikey immediately stopped running around the ring and stood with his head down, "sowwie."

Shaking her head she turned her attention to the three Divas in the ring, "I am sorry for the interruption ladies. I told Mikey that later if nobody was using the ring he could play in it, I did not mean for him to run off from me when my back was turned and to stop anybody using it."

Trish was quick to shake her head, "oh he didn't interrupt us, we were pretty much done anyway and were just trying out some new moves so he really wasn't a bother."

Lifting his head to look at his Mom hopefully Mikey said, "so can I stays peas?"

Sighing softly she decided to just give in, "okay then but only because the girls said they were done. Say thank you to Trish, Lita and Kelly though and never run off from me again."

Turning to each other Divas Mikey said 'fank you' to each of them.

Trish was last to be thanked and she smiled, "you're very welcome. Why don't you get Lita to teach your monkey how to do some wrestling moves."

Mikey nodded his head enthusiastically before he thrust Bubbles out towards Lita, "peas. Bubbles was bad and is in twuble."

Laughing softly Lita took Bubbles from Mikey, "okay then Mikey, how about we show Bubbles how to do a moonsault from the top rope?"

Nodding his head eagerly he quickly followed Lita and Kelly over to the corner of the ring and watched as Lita made a show of helping Bubbles climb to the top rope before she made him do a moonsault and had him land on the mat, "what do you think Mikey? Do you want a go at teaching him?"

Jumping up and down excitedly he picked Bubbles from the floor and did the same thing as Lita did with him.

Having climbed out of the ring when she suggested Lita show Bubbles some wrestling moves Trish turned her attention to Stephanie when she saw that Mikey was otherwise occupied, "so who is Mikey to you?"

Turning her head to look at Trish Stephanie raised her eyebrow, "my son?"

Trish's eyes widened, "your son?!"

Nervously looking around Stephanie quickly motioned for her to lower her voice, "shhh, I'm not planning on broadcasting it to the world."

Biting down on her lip Trish looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, it was just a bit of a shock as I didn't know you had married again."

"I've not and before you ask the Father isn't in the picture so it is just me and Mikey."

"Wow. I must say you're doing an amazing job under the circumstances though."

Stephanie smiled warmly, "thank you."

Neither Trish not Stephanie realised that Mikey was no longer showing Bubbles how to wrestle and was now stood right by the ropes so when Trish said, "so why isn't Mikey's Dad around?" She wasn't expecting Mikey to answer.

Hearing Trish mention his Dad Mikey quickly spoke up, "Uncle Shane said my Daddy's a bit dead."

Stephanie's head snapped to the side and she raised her eyebrow as she looked at Mikey, "what do you mean Uncle Shane told you your Dad was 'a bit dead'? When did he talk to you about him?"

Shuffling his feet nervously he said, "I overheards him tell Poppy."

Confused Stephanie shook her head, "I don't understand why Shane would say that to begin with as he's not dead."

The wheels were turning in Trish's head when suddenly a light bulb went off in her mind, "could Shane have called Mikey's Dad a 'deadbeat' rather than saying he was 'a bit dead'?"

Mikey frowned, "that's what I saids."

Sighing with relief Stephanie was so glad Shane hadn't said Mikey's Dad was dead as that would have been awkward trying to explain it to him, "well whatever I really need to get you some lunch before I have to go back to work so come on please Mikey."

With the help of Lita, Kelly and Trish he was able to climb out of the ropes again before Trish lifted him to the floor, "it was very nice to meet you Mikey." Turning her gaze to Stephanie she smiled warmly, "if you ever need anyone to watch him so you can get on with your work you know where I am, it would be a pleasure."

Looking between his Mom and Trish he put on the puppy dog eyes that normally got him what he wanted, "Mommy, can Trish joins us for lunch?"

Sighing softly Stephanie looked at Trish before she looked at Mikey, "why don't you ask her? She may have other plans though."

Turning his puppy dog eyes to Trish he said, "lunch peas?"

Chuckling softly Trish nodded her head, "I would be honoured to join you both for lunch."

Mikey clapped his hands excitedly before he grabbed both Trish and his Mom's hands and dragged them towards the ramp.
