John and Dave were now sitting catering, with Ashley, and Trish. They had just finished discussing the party when Randy and Maria had come inside. John had told them about the ring, and that he had told Randy mostly everything about the party. He also told them how he didn't tell Randy how he has a daughter.
"He has a right to know John." Ashley told him, while glancing at him.
Trish sighed, "Ashley is right John. Not to mention, that will be a real blow to Maria." Trish couldn't help but smile a little.
Dave shook his head, "I don't think it's our right to tell anyone. Plus, how do you even know the baby belongs to Randy? You don't know what Paige has been up to." He pointed out.
Ashley narrowed her eyes, "Are you stupid? You honestly think that Paige would run off and do something like that?" Ashley snapped on him.
"Really Dave, I should hit you for that. Just because she ran off, doesn't mean that her life went completely down hill!" Trish fought, now angry.
Dave rolled his eyes at the girls. John had been looking away, not wanting to get involved. He only lifted his eyes as he saw Randy walking to towards them. "Brace yourselves, here comes the moron." John muttered to the rest of the group.
They all went silent as Randy sat down at the table with them. Dave looked at Randy but didn't say anything, John looked away, Trish took out her phone trying to act busy, and Ashley took it upon herself to be the bigger person. "Hey Randy, How are you?" She asked, while glancing at the others to help her out.
"I'm alright, Thanks." Randy answered, then paused. "So, I probably should pass with the small talk. I have a question about when you guys talked to Paige." Randy said to them.
Trish glanced at Dave, and John. "The guys know more about it then we do. They are the only ones here that got to talk to her." She told them, and in return got a glare from both of the guys.
Randy looked at John, "I know you explained quite a bit to me the other night, and you probably think I have no right asking questions, but were you given any indications about where she is? Anything that can help me find her?" He asked them, very concerned.
John narrowed his eyes at Randy and went to say something, but Ashley quickly stood up, making her chair fly back, and slamming her hands on the table. "Who the hell are you to want to find her? You are the damn reason she left in the first place Randy!" Ashley screamed at him. "You might have been able to bullshit your relationships, but that doesn't work on us anymore. Don't pretend to be even a little concerned for her when we know damn well you aren't." She snapped on him.
Trish looked up at Ashley, a little worried. "Come on Ash, calm down, sit." She pleaded with her.
Randy glared at her, "She's my ex wife dammit! You expect me not to care? I loved her Ashley. No matter what you, and your little friends say, I loved Paige." He said, defending himself.
Ashley scoffed, "That's the difference between you and us Randy. You might have loved her then, but we still do now." She then sat back down in her chair.
Dave looked at Randy, his eyes cold looking. "You'd be best to get out of here Randy. I think we're done talking." He suggested to him.
John looked at Trish, "Do you think that now would be the right time?" He mouthed to her.
Trish nodded, and nudged Ashley. She then turned to Randy who was about to walk away from the table. "One last thing Randy. The day Paige caught you in bed with Maria, she had just found out she was pregnant and was on her way to tell you." Trish told him.
Randy stopped, and spun back around. The whole catering room had gone quiet, and everyone now paying attention to Trish, and her outburst. "Your lying." Randy accused her, but Trish shook her head.
"I only wish I was. She told me, Jeff, and Amy, but had later told us she miscarried." Trish said, quietly.
"Then why are you telling me this?" Randy asked her, confused.
John stood up, and rubbed his forehead. "Because, when we were on the phone with her, we could hear a little girl call her mommy. We have a feeling Paige lied about the miscarriage, and really had the baby." John explained to him. They all heard a gasp, then a cry and turned to see Maria in the door way.
Ashley narrowed her eyes at her, "You know, there's so many thing I want to say and do to you. But your lucky that I have morals." Ashley snapped. Everyone watched as Randy ran his hands through his hair, then walked out of the room, completely shocked. Maria shrieked as she ran after him, yelling and screaming.
Dave shook his head, "Well that was bizarre." He commented, making John, Ash and Trish all laugh at him.

Paige looked at her phone again as she sat at a table in a little restaurant, as she waited for the
McMahon's to join her. She hoped that they arrived soon, since she had to be at work, in three hours.
She was extremely nervous, especially with what she was recently told by Jeff. Melina had been constantly threatening to reveal her secret, people were trying to get contact with Lexi, and were getting suspicious as to why she just disappeared, and her favourite part, Jeff had told her that Randy knew that he had a daughter.
Paige held her head in her hands as she tried her to best to keep herself together. Things were starting to get harder and harder for her, and she wasn't sure how much longer she could keep her life together.
She was starting to miss her old life, her old friends, and her job. She was sick of being in hiding from everyone, but there was no way that she wanted to go back.
Paige glanced at the door as it opened, and smiled to see Vince and Linda walking in. Paige got up, and quickly made her way over to them, hugging them both. "Vince, Linda, It's so great to see you both again." Paige told them.
Linda smiled, "It's great to see you to Paige. It's been awhile, hasn't it." She said, while hugging Paige again.
Paige grinned and led them to table that she was currently sitting at. She sat down, across from Linda, and watched as Vince pulled over another chair, and put it at the end of the table. Paige looked at them confused, but they both ignored her.
"Well, I was hoping our next meeting wouldn't be like this. But I guess just knowing your safe and alive, is good enough." Linda said, while smiling at Paige.
Paige narrowed her eyes a bit. "Yeah, Sure." Paige glanced at Vince, who was shifting uncomfortably. "How are you two? And the family?" She asked them.
"We're good, and the family to. The company's a little shaken right now, but it's something we can get over. We've gone through it before." Linda remarked, with a small smirk.
Paige was a little hurt, but quickly recovered. "The same old Linda I see, I defiantly missed you." Paige gave a small smile. "But I'm not coming back." Paige told her, while ordering tea for herself, as the waitress came over to them.
Vince groaned, as he glanced over to see his wife take out her cellphone, and text a message. "Come on Linda, Is this a good idea?" He asked her, trying to be quiet.
Paige narrowed her eyes Linda, then glanced over at the door. "So who is it Linda? Who's going to be walking through the door? Mom? Dad? Dave or John? Who is it?" Paige said, sharply.
Linda smirked even more, "None of the above." She said sweetly, and grinned as the door of the restaurant opened.
Paige calmed down a bit as she saw Hunter walk through the door. Though, she started panicking again, as Shawn Michaels followed him over to their table. Paige looked at Linda, who was a little confused. Hunter sat at the end of the table, and Shawn sat beside Paige.
Hunter looked at Linda, "John had business to take care of at home, and Dave had plans. Shawn offered to come though!" He explained to her.
Shawn grinned, "Hey Linda, Hey Vince!" He said. Paige looked at Hunter confused, but he refused to lock eye contact with her. "Well hello Lexi, I didn't know you were going to be here! I was told we were meeting up with an old friend. Do you know them to?" Shawn asked her.
Paige couldn't help but smile at how innocent Shawn always was. Though, she was shocked that Shawn didn't know yet. She looked at Linda and stared at her a bit. "So what's the catch?" Paige asked her, confusing Shawn.
Linda looked at Hunter, disappointed. "Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I'm sure it will do." She told him, then looked at Paige. "So, you have a choice. Either I'm spilling the beans, or you are. I refuse to let this go on any longer, it's getting ridiculous. Not only are you hurting everybody that you care about, you're hurting yourself." Linda snapped at Paige.
Paige narrowed her eyes at Linda. "Let me give you some advice. Fight your own battles. This isn't your thing to interfere in Linda. Mind your on business." Paige said, sharply. Hunter and Vince both groaned at the argument. They knew how stubborn the women were, and any argument or fight with them in it, was never meant to end good.
Linda sighed, then frowned. "Paige, You made it my business as soon as you became like a daughter to me." She said, softly.
Paige smiled a bit, but it quickly fell as she remembered the other person at the table. Paige slowly glanced over to Shawn, who looked calm, and collected. He was looking at her curiously, not a hint of anger on his face. Paige was confused, she didn't understand why he wasn't freaking out on her.
Shawn turned to Hunter, and grinned. "You owe me! You so owe me! I told you she would come back to us. I was right, you were wrong! I win! I win!" He practically sang.
Hunter rolled his eyes, and pouted. "Fine fine, you're right. But I'm not, and I repeat, I am not watching all of your wrestling DVD again." He stated.
Shawn glared at him, "No! A deal is a deal. I won, and now you have to pay up. You're watching them with me! You promised!" Shawn exclaimed.
Paige looked as Linda was amused, and Vince was shaking his head. "Uhm guys, I hate to break up the argument here.. but I have to work soon." She told them, almost regretting bringing the attention back on her.
Shawn immediately sighed, "Paige. I knew there was something up with you the moment I met you. Not many new girls stick up to Randy like that, most just drool over him. Plus you acted like a regular, not like a newbie." Shawn explained to her.
Paige groaned, "But I tried so hard! But every time I did something, I had five people telling me that I was just like Paige. How much they missed her, and all of the details. I think at one point I ended up snapping on Mickie, telling her to get over it." Paige told them. "Look, I've heard it all, okay? I was an idiot for leaving, for not contacting anyone, for coming back, for picking up the phone. I know it all!"
Shawn shook his head, "Paige, you acted fast, you did what you thought was right. We understand. Sure, it hurt us, but we all want you to be happy."
Paige looked at him, "Even Dave?" She asked him.
Shawn nodded, "Especially Dave."
Paige smiled, imagining herself going back to everybody, and being a family again, though she quickly got herself out of those thoughts, and frowned. "Look, This whole thing went a lot farther then I meant it to, okay? I can't go back now. I'm sorry." Paige pushed her chair back, and stood up. "I'd love to talk more, but I'm going to be late for work."
Linda stood up, and walked over to Paige. She narrowed her eyes, and got face to face with her. "Fine. But remember this, until you grow up, stop being selfish, and start thinking about how much better a life you and your daughter will have, don't even think of getting in touch with us, or the WWE. And as for Alexa Riley, expect her to be blacklisted for any wrestling companies, no matter how big or small." Linda then turned around, and quickly walked out of the restaurant, Vince, Hunter, and Shawn quickly behind her.
Paige ran her hand through her hair, before taking her seat again. She rested her elbows on the table, then held her head in her hands. She couldn't believe how downhill her life had went. She only wish she knew all of the consequences before she stupidly took on the name of Alexa Riley. Now, she lost everything more then she had already. Her life had just gotten worse then ever.

"What do you expect us to tell you Paige? We told you this would happen." Lissa told her.
Emily was quick to add in. "Yeah Paige, This is getting a little ridiculous. We supported you at the beginning, but we had hoped that you would do the right thing."
Paige tried her best not to roll her eyes. She was now sitting outside at Emily's house, around the outside table. It was her, Emily, and Lissa. Jeff was on his way with Stephanie. After Steph found out about Paige and Linda's chat, she immediately called Paige, telling her she was coming down to see her. "Look, If you don't support me, fine. I can leave. I'm used to doing that, remember?"
Emily shook her head, "That's it!" She stood up, and slammed her hands on the table. "Sorry Lissa, but I've heard enough. Honestly Paige, Will you grow up? Realize how selfish your being! As soon as something goes wrong, or you don't get your own way, you run!" Emily yelled at her.
Paige narrowed her eyes at her, and crossed her arms as she stood up as well. "I'm so sick and tired of listening to you go on and on about how you think you know everything. News flash, You don't! I've done pretty well for myself, and my daughter so far. So if I were you, I'd shut up, and let me run my own life." Paige fired back.
Emily laughed, sarcastically. "Really? That's what you think? That Your raising you daughter properly? Yes Paige. Your raising your daughter great by always moving her places, showing her that it's okay to run away from any problems, and not letting her know any of her family, and her own father. How are you going to take it, when she finds out that the only reason she doesn't know her own father, is because of you. Not because he refuses to help out. I don't know the guy, but I'm sure he would do his best for his own daughter. What would you do Paige? Run away from her to?"
Lissa frowned while looking at the two girls. "Come on guys.. please stop fighting. The kids are right there." She said while motioning to the two little kids who were playing in the pool while looking curiously at the adults.
Paige and Emily were about to continue yelling at each other but stopped as the back gate opened, Jeff and Stephanie walking in. Paige and Emily glared at each other one more time, then Emily stormed inside, and Paige sat back down.
Jeff walked up to the table, and sat down, Steph did the same. Jeff looked around the table, confused. "Do I even want to know?" He asked Lissa.
Lissa shook her head, "Your better off not. To sum it up, Paige and Emily almost went at it." she explained, making Paige roll her eyes.
Jeff sighed. "I guess that means we're making the right decision then." He said, and Lissa nodded in response.
Paige narrowed her eyes at all of them, "Oh yeah? And what decision is that?" She snapped at them.
Lissa and Jeff looked at each other nervously. Steph sighed, "Don't get mad at them, it was Hunter, Shawn and mine's idea. They just agreed that it was best,and time for us to take action."
Paige scoffed, "Well, tell me what this great plan is then."
Steph ignored her sarcasm. "Fine. We all believe you and Mackenzie need your family, and Mackenzie needs her father. If, you find this to be untrue, then we're done helping you hide. We will only help you if you agree to reunite with your family, and those who care. And trust me, it's very hard for any of us to do this, but we feel it's right." Steph explained to her.
Paige looked at the whole group, completely shocked, and caught off guard. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. She felt betrayed. "Are you kidding me?" Paige asked them, and they all shook their heads.
Steph sighed, "Paige, we don't want to have to do this. And if you don't want our help, fine. Leave. But, when you decide that you want to come back, and do what's right for you, and your own daughter, then we will all be here. But until then, we're sticking to what we feel is right, and we're staying strong." She then shrugged.
Paige shook her head. "I can't believe this. I can't believe that you guys would do this to me." She partially snapped, her eyes starting to water. Paige turned towards the pool. "Kenzie, baby. Time to get out and get changed. We have to go."
Mackenzie nodded has she climbed out of the pool, grabbed her towel, then headed quickly into the house. Cody, Lissa's son, looked at his mom, wondering if the instructions were for him to. After get a head shake from his mother, Cody went back to playing in the pool.
Lissa looked at Paige, hopefully. She wanted Paige to tell her that she was packing up, and heading back to the road to go see her family. She loved Paige as a sister, and was doing what she hoped was right. Though deep down, she knew that pushing Paige away was wrong. That it would only make things worse. But some how, Steph had convinced her into going along with the whole plan. "Paige? Please don't make this any harder." Lissa pleaded.
Paige looked at Lissa as if she was about to speak, then just shook her head and walked off towards the sliding doors into the house. She went inside and to the spare bedroom that she was sharing with Kenzie. She knocked on the closed door, then let herself in to see Emily helping Mackenzie out of her bathing suit.
Paige ignored her and grabbed their suit cases, and started filling it with all of the clothes that they were going to need. Once she was done she put them near the door, and turned to see Kenzie sitting on the bed, looking at her, and Emily leaning against the wall, with her arms crossed.
"Your not going with them, are you?" Emily asked, though it was more of a statement.
Paige shook her head. "Nope. But if that's how you guys are going to be, then fine." Paige shrugged. "I can take care of us, without help. I've done it before. We don't deserve to be treated like this. And you know what bothers me the most Emily? That I thought I could trust all of you. I thought, that you all actually cared, and understood." Paige laughed, "Oh how wrong I was."
Emily waited patiently as Paige ranted. "You done now?" Emily asked, then smiled as Paige nodded. Emily walked over to the door and picked up both of the suitcases. "Before you went shooting off your mouth. I was about to explain how I was against what they were doing. I'm guessing you'll need a place to stay, so I already set up my guest room." And with that, Emily walked out of the room and carried the bags down the stairs and out the door.
Paige stared at the door dumbfounded. The last person she expected to be on her side was Emily. Especially with their big argument earlier. Paige turned around, and walked over to the bed, picking up her daughter. "Come on Kenzie, time for another change." She told her, while quickly walking down that stairs, after Emily.
