After the show had ended Hunter was frustrated and confused by what Stephanie was playing at. He hadn't pictured Stephanie as the kind of woman to have a child outside of a relationship so knowing that she had a child and wasn't in a relationship seriously blew his mind.

Driving back to his hotel he just couldn't stop thinking about Stephanie and Mikey, something felt really off about the whole situation and the story he had heard and he just couldn't place what it was that was so wrong about it.

Swinging the door shut behind him he threw his bag on the floor before he flopped onto the bed staring at the ceiling contemplating his next move.

Fifteen hours later and Hunter was finally pulling his car into the driveway, as much as he didn't want to do this it was the only thing he could think to do.

Getting out of the car and walking the few short steps to the front door he sighed as he rang the doorbell and then stood there shoving his hands deep into his jeans pocket as he waited for the door to open. When it did finally open he smiled sheepishly at the person that appeared on the other side, "hi Dad."

Paul looked at his son and shook his head, "you know your Mother is going to kill you the minute she sets her eyes on you right?"

Nodding his head slowly Hunter just had to take it like a man, "I know Dad, I know. Can I come in?"

Motioning his son in he was pleased to see him but he did wonder what had caused this random visit seeing as they hadn't seen him in close to six months.

Stepping inside his childhood home Hunter sighed when he heard his Mom talking to his sister, this was going to be fun. Giving his Dad a quick hug he walked past him and stepped inside the lounge, "long time no see."

Patricia practically flew up from her seat and ran over to her son enveloping him in a huge hug, "Hunter, where the hell have you been? You do know it has been six months since we last set eyes on you right?"

"But I was only on TV Monday night."

Glaring at her son she gave him a light smack to the arm, "don't get smart with me. I hope you have a good explanation as to what has caused this sudden reappearance."

Sighing heavily he moved around the couch and hugged his sister Lynn before she moved up and allowed him to sit on the couch closest to their Mom as she did not want to be in the middle of this, "yes Hunter, why are you suddenly back again? You rarely return my phone calls and I'm lucky if you return my texts so why the hell are you now visiting?"

Frowning Hunter just shrugged, "I've had a rough week, I just wanted to see my family. Is this now a crime?"

Patricia eyed her son suspiciously before she answered but before she did have time to answer Lynn jumped in, "when it is you then yes it is. For the past few years we see you at Christmas and birthdays, if we're lucky. Anything other than this is normally the cause of a full moon."

Sighing and shaking his head he went to stand up, "okay I get it, I'll leave."

Lynn took hold of her brother's arm, "Hunter we don't mean anything bad by it but when it's been six months since your last visit and you turn up out of the blue and it's nobody's birthday then we're going to be cynical and slightly worried about you."

Sitting back down heavily on the couch he looked between his parents and sister, "she's back."

Patricia, Paul and Lynn all exchanged puzzled looks before Hunter's Dad said, "who's back?"

"Stephanie, Stephanie is back."

Lynn was confused, "Stephanie as in your ex-wife Stephanie? Stephanie as in the woman you banished from the WWE Stephanie?"

Nodding his head slowly he sighed, "yeah that's her. Apparently her Dad has had a major heart attack so she's been drafted in to take over the shows whilst he recovers."

Lynn suspected her brother was yet to get over his ex-wife so she was intrigued by how things went between them, "well I bet that was awkward. Did you speak with her?"

He laughed dryly, "oh yeah we spoke, it was so productive I'm now looking at never getting a title shot again."

Audible gasps could be heard from the other three adults in the room before his Mom spoke, "well go over her head and take it to the Board of Director's, she can't punish you for your history."

He lifted one side of his mouth in a lopsided grin, "actually I think the reason she did that was more to do with me calling her son a brat and calling her a few names. In my defence, I was pretty pissed that she was back and I was already having a bad day so it was just the cherry on top of the cake to hear she was back when she was meant to be gone forever."

"Her son?!"

Hunter laughed at the shock, "yes her son. Apparently she didn't sink into too much of a depression after I kicked her out, she got straight out and lay down for the first guy to come along and got herself knocked up."

Ignoring the way her son spoke about his ex-wife there was one question his Mom really wanted the answer to, "how old is the little boy?"

Shrugging his shoulders Hunter truthfully didn't know the answer to that, "I'm not sure, a couple of years or something maybe. All I know is he walks and talks. I'm going to get a drink though, I'll be back in a minute."

Patricia nodded, "you know where the fridge is, there's water in there waiting for you."

Hunter couldn't help but laugh softly as he walked out of the room.

As soon as Hunter had left the room Lynn looked directly at her Mom, "are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Patricia frowned, "I don't know. I guess it all depends on if you're thinking that maybe there is more to Stephanie's son than we know, something like Hunter being the Father."

Lynn nodded, "exactly. If the kid is already walking and talking then he has to be at least two to three and maybe even a little older than that. If she really didn't want to lose Hunter I can't see her having gone out and found the first guy to get her pregnant. But if he is the Dad then it leaves the unanswered question of why does Hunter not know?"

Paul shook his head listening to the two women in his life talking, "have you two listened to what you are saying? Do you really think it could be his? That sounds completely absurd and I think you both need to see a Doctor."

Patricia opened her mouth to snap back at her husband but when Hunter walked back in the room she turned her attention to him instead, "so what does Stephanie's boyfriend or husband think about her being back around her ex-husband with their son?"

"I don't think he'd like it but she doesn't have a husband or a boyfriend, however Vince would like her to have one according to Mikey."

"Mikey?"

Hunter nodded, "Mikey, Steph's son."

Patricia frowned listening to her son speak, "so tell me something Hunter, exactly how much did you speak with Stephanie and Mikey? Individually or together."

Confused by what his Mom was asking he shrugged, "I tried talking to Stephanie a few times after I cooled down from the initial shock but she shut me down fast and refused to talk to me. I spoke with Mikey like once or twice or something. My only real contact with him though was when Trish, Jericho, Lita and myself were helping him climb up the ropes and then I sat on the turn buckle with him. When I was sat on the turn buckle with him though it was really odd as it felt like I had a connection with the kid and I hadn't really been nice to him up until that point."

Lynn raised her eyebrow at her brother, "you had a connection with him? What the hell does that mean?"

Hunter shrugged, "I don't know. I know it sounds really stupid but it's hard to explain, it was like I felt a pull to him but that's probably because he's Steph's kid."

Lynn looked down at the floor and muttered, "and yours."

Turning his head to look at his sister he raised his eyebrow, "what did you say?"

Lifting her head she shrugged nonchalantly, "that maybe you're just going crazy."

Raking his hand through his hair he shrugged, "yeah you're probably right. I think this entire week has just messed with my head having her around and seeing her with a child which is why I came home to you guys, I need to get my head straightened."

Paul stood up, "well why don't you come and help me fix the shelf in the bathroom before I die from the nagging your Mother is doing."

Hunter laughed softly relieved to be able to get a distraction, "sounds good to me."

Standing up he followed his Dad out of the lounge.

As soon as Hunter had left Lynn turned to her Mother, "see, I told you it's his child."

Nodding her head slowly Patricia had to agree, it did appear that their guts were right but there was only one way they were going to find out the truth, "well you know there is just the one way we will find out what's really going on don't you?"

Lynn's eyes widened when she realised what her Mom was suggesting, "you mean go straight to the source? Straight to Stephanie?"

Patricia nodded, "exactly. I never did really fall out with my ex-daughter-in-law so I guess today is as good a day as any to call her for a little chat."

With that Patricia got up from her seat and went over to the phone and her phone book to look for Stephanie's phone number to give her a call.
