Just To Let You Know: I own nothing.
Paul and Stephanie had a silent ride back to his house and the kids were still sleeping. When they got there Stephanie walked strait up stairs and went into Paul's room and put her head in the pillow to let her tears flow. Joe put Kylie in her bed and Matt in Kylies old crib. The events that took place were unbelievable and spontaneous. After Paul collected his thoughts he joined Stephanie in his room. "Are you okay?"
"No I'm not okay...my husband is...like this close to being dead and no matter what I do, the fact that he is will remain the same. Sure, he gets on my nerves and sure, I never really loved him but he's still my husband." She said still crying, she put her head on his shoulder and she wrapped her arms around his neck. He adjusted her on his lap and let her cry on his shoulder. After a while he cried too, he did work with the guy before and he's an okay Canadian, anybodies injuries were heartbreaking especially if you were so close to losing them, forever. By eight a.m. everyone in the WWE had already found out and it killed them inside knowing they weren't gonna see him in the ring anytime soon. Stephanie slept in while Paul made breakfast the best he could. Both Kylie and Matt were with Pat and Paul Sr. at their house. Today was going to suck and everyone knew that.
"I tried to make you breakfast." Paul said entering the room. He made toast only slightly burnt, eggs, orange juice with a bowl of strawberries on the side.
"Thanks, you're so sweet." Stephanie smiled. "Lets go down stairs I've been in here for too long." Stephanie suggested as they both went down the steps into the family room.
"Now are you comfy?" He asked turning on the TV.
"I'm okay especially because I'm here with you." Stephanie said as she started to eat the breakfast he made that was on her lap. He watched as she shoveled the food in her mouth waiting for his turn which took a while to come.
"Can, can I have some too?" He asked as she turned her head and looked at him.
"I'm sorry, here." She stuffed a piece of toast in his mouth.
"Gee thanks, just know that next time I get the spoon." Paul smiled flipping the channel; he stopped at the news and couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"As we all seem to know, a good friend to many, a co-worker to others, an entertainer, a husband, a father was seriously injured yesterday. Christopher Irvine known to many as Chris Jericho was so very close to death. The details are skeptical but rumors are flying that Stephanie McMahon-Irvine and Paul Levesque were linked with this physical attack but as I've said, its just a rumor and..." The Asian woman said but Stephanie grabbed the remote control and turned it off.
"How dare she accuse us like that...and making accusations that are so not true." Stephanie said. "That bitch."
"Steph she said it was a rumor and we both know that it isn't true." Paul said.
"I don't care know million's of are thinking that we are psychos and we did nothing." Stephanie stood up as Joe rushed in. "What happened?"
"The police are here..." He said as they heard knocking on the door. "I'll get that." Joe said opening the door and they barged in.
"Paul Levesque and Stephanie McMahon-Irvine are to be taken in." A man heavy-set man said.
"What do you mean?" Stephanie asked.
"You two are being arrested for being associated with the assault of Christopher Irvine." Another said as two other police officers cuffed them. "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say or do will be used against you in the court of law..." He read them their rights as they were being brought outside.
"Hell, I'm not going, I did nothing." Paul said as he stopped.
"Don't make this hard for us." The fat guy said.
"Paul just come on." Stephanie whispered. As the police officer examined her and made sure she had no type of weapons. "Hey you're going a little to far." Stephanie said.
"Don't play yourself." Paul told him as he chuckled. "Ha, ha it's not funny."
"You're the one handcuffed." The police officer smiled as Paul tried to kick him but he couldn't.
"Paul stop." Stephanie said.
"Call our parents." Paul said as they were rushed out of the house. They got in the police car together and they starred at each other.
"How can they do this to us?" Stephanie asked as a tear slid down her cheek.
"I don't know but I'm calling my lawyer." Paul said. All this mess was unbelievable. They sat there silent for a few minutes when they pulled up.
"Let's tell the whole truth...only the truth." Stephanie mumbled.
"Babe, we have nothing to hide." Paul whispered as they walked in the station. A few minutes they were separated and were put into different room.
"Did you try to kill your husband...Miss McMahon?" An officer asked hovered over her, she looked at him and she couldn't take it anymore, hell, she was a McMahon. She was shocked. It wasn't going to go down like that. She thought to herself, 'this man has got to be out of his mind'. "Did you hear me?" He asked, his breath smelled horrible and Stephanie took a deep breath.
"Yes I heard you." She screeched. "Who the hell do you think you are? No, I didn't try to kill him...I wasn't even home and I told the officers who were there the other night that I wasn't home and I'm telling you, again, I wasn't home. And Why would I?" Stephanie yelled almost losing control over herself.
"Yes you did, you tried to kill him...you were trying to put an end to him. You fell in love with Mr. Levesque and your husband was just in the way. You yourself, with your bare hands killed him, you had to eliminate him or, you hired someone to do so." A guy in a suit said like he knew everything.
"No, how dare you make false accusations like that? I decided that I didn't want to be with Chris. I was coming home with the divorce papers...why would I try to kill my own husband...my sons father?" She let loose and cried. "I found his blood, blood that belonged to my husband and you're saying I was linked with...with all of this...this chaos." She continued to cry. The guy passed her tissues and she wiped her tears, he glanced at the police officer at his side and whispered that he believed her.
"Where were you at approximately 6:15, yesterday evening?" The fairly young officer asked looking at Paul, he leaned up next to Paul only inches from his face. He announced earlier that he was a detective, Detective Marshall.
"Man who the hell you think you are? You better back up off of me." Paul said laid back in his chair relaxed, he knew he did nothing and wasn't gonna trip because someone thinks he did.
"Answer the question!" He demanded.
"Well..." He took his time. "I was..." He stretched his words. "I was at my high school reunion with Kylie, my daughter, Matt and Steph. Matt's Steph's son."
"Levesque, don't lie, tell me the truth." The detective said.
"I am." Paul yelled.
"I don't believe you, not one bit." He said.
"So, who gives? I know I did nothing wrong and for you to say I did and expect me to go along with you and lie, is wrong. It's unprofessional." Paul said in a serious tone.
"Unprofessional? You slept with your bosses daughter." The detective questioned.
"Look, cut the crap! You asked me a simple question, I answered. I didn't do anything wrong, I wasn't linked to this and I wasn't associated with this in any way. I swear." Paul looked the man strait in the eye when someone busted in, it was Paul's lawyer and another policeman.
"Levesque and McMahon can go." The policeman said.
"Why?" Marshall asked.
"Because, come here." They both left and Paul's lawyer walked up to him.
"Why are you here?" He asked.
"They came and got me and Stephanie for no reason at all." Paul told him.
"It's okay because the both of you are leaving right now." His lawyer promised.
"Good." They looked toward the door and Stephanie came in, she threw herself in Paul's arms, crying her eyes out. "It's okay baby." He kissed her hair and after a few minutes the collected their selves and left.
"We need to meet up some time tomorrow." Paul's lawyer smiled.
"Okay, thanks." They shook hands and Stephanie gave him a smile. Joe came and picked them up and the whole ride was silent. When they got in the house, she finally spoke up.
"They accused me some more and that officer the detective left me with tried to hit on me." Stephanie chucked as her cell rang. She picked it up. "Hello?"
"This is Jasmine Pirelli, I'm a nurse here and Well Mrs. Irvine, your husband has woken up and he remembers you and you only and another woman but we have no clue who she is. Can you come?" A nurse asked.
"Yeah, I'll be there in a few hours." Stephanie stood up and looked over at Paul. "Okay, bye." She hung up and took a deep breath. "Chris woke up and he remembers no one except maybe me and someone else...can you come with me?"
"Yeah babe...I'm here." He stood up and they headed out to the hospital. They rushed in the hospital, well, Stephanie rushed in the hospital with Paul not far behind. She walked up to the counter and found out the room and floor Chris was on. She grabbed Paul's hand and they went up to his room.
"Um, I will be right back." Stephanie said then walking in the room. Paul sat there right outside the door wondering what Chris would possibly remember and to what extent is his damage. Stephanie slowly walked in, looking at him, he was bruised and he had cuts on his face. Stephanie pushed hair out of his face and smiled down at him as his eyes opened slowly. "Hey baby." Stephanie said.
"Hey Steph..." He said in a low tone, sounding incredibly sleepy. "Uh, why'd you call me baby?"
"Because...I'm..." Stephanie started but was cut off.
"You're my wife..." Chris said suddenly stopping.
"Yeah." She smiled.
"My wife's friend and mines too." Chris' conclusion was so off.
"Um..." Stephanie felt jealousy had just reared its ugly head, she was never jealous of anyone. How could he say words like that, that were harsh to Stephanie, being his wife and all. "Hold on..." She turned around and walked out to Paul, she looked at him and they starred at each other for a few seconds. "He thinks Trish is his wife and I'm just a friend...I have to tell him the truth and as a wife it's my responsibility to take care of him and get him on his own two feet. I'm gonna tell him that we were in the process of a divorce." Stephanie looked down at the floor.
"Um..." There was an awkward silence. "Why don't you tell him he's dating Trish?" Paul asked.
"Well because she'd really have to be dating him...I'm gonna tell him about Matt and how we're getting a divorce but I'll be taking care of him because I can't just leave him...he's my husband." Stephanie said.
"Yeah, he IS your husband." Paul's eyes glanced around the hospital not believing all this was happening.
"I'll be back." Stephanie walked back in the hospital room and put her hand on his arm, he looked up and smiled. "Look..." She showed him his wedding band. Chris nodded slowly in response starring at the gold band wrapped around his third finger on his left hand. She felt her jacket pockets and unnoticeably slipped on her wedding ring. "And look." She showed him hers.
"You mean?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, we're married but..." This was it, the time she had to tell him. She had to tell him that they were getting a divorce but she couldn't do it, she didn't have the heart to do that. As he starred at their wedding bands she remembered when she had first had Matt. FLASHBACK: "Oh my God...Chris...I'm...it's another contraction." Stephanie held her stomach and attempted to walk but her water broke. "Chris...my water just broke." He rushed out of the shower slipping on the way and falling. She smiled through the pain. "It's time?" Chris asked. "Yeah, it's time." Stephanie answered as he quickly put on his clothes. They got to the hospital and on the way Stephanie was screaming and threatening to push. When they got there, they went directly into the delivery room and hours after she gave birth to their first. Chris was so excited, he held Matt so close and Stephanie was too tired to even speak. Chris starred at their son with so much love with Stephanie knowing that that love was for sure unconditional. "Look." He tilted their son, he had large blue eyes and brown hair, he looked like Stephanie the most. Chris leaned in and kissed Stephanie passionately. "Baby, I love you and no matter what I am gonna be here for the both of you...I am so proud of you baby." He gave her their baby for the first time, she looked down and he was just a little reminder of her and Chris' love. END OF FLASHBACK.
"But what?" Chris asked.
"Nothing, we're married and we have a son, his name is..." Stephanie didn't have the heart to tell him.
"His name's Matt...that's all I know. Matt, you and Trish...I thought she was my wife." He said as the door opened, they turned towards the door and Trish walked in. "If you're my wife, you're my wife...and I love you."
"I love you too." Stephanie said for the first time in a while, without hesitation. "You should get some sleep and I'll go and pick up Matt." He nodded and closed his eyes. Stephanie turned around to face Trish. "Hey Girl."
"Hi Steph." They hugged, Trish and Chris are just how her and Paul are.
"I gotta go and get Matt are you gonna be here?" Stephanie asked.
"Yeah." Trish smiled. "I'll stay until you get back." Trish smiled as Stephanie walked out. Trish walked over to Chris and he opened his eyes again.
"Trish?" He asked.
"Yeah." Trish nodded. "Oh my God, Chris when you get better I'm gonna so kick your ass. You had me so scared." Trish kissed his hand.
"How come it feels right to be with you and wrong to be with her?" Chris asked.
"Because, you're a little confused right now. Or maybe because I was with you a lot and well..." As she was explaining he felt as if he loved Trish and that he's loved her forever. It just felt so right and he felt her warmth. He pulled her down and kissed her softly. Trish knew that this was wrong but when her and Chris had to work together, they saw a lot more of each other and she always had a crush on him. But he kissed her so what's wrong by making the most of it. Trish kissed him back and then she realized, this was wrong. She pulled back to find that his eyes were watery, like he was about to cry. She pulled him into a hug and they stayed like this for a while. Why did this have to happen to me, Chris thought. Now I have one of the biggest choices to make in my life and I know absolutely nothing, Trish or Stephanie.
