Ch. 38

Stephanie glanced down at Aurora who was asleep in her arms. She sighed as she watched her daughter sleep peacefully, thankful that she was safe in her arms at the moment. She looked up at Jillian who was fiddling with the laces on her boots. She knew that all the members were extremely nervous about their matches for the night because they weren't all that sure who was on their side and who wasn't. It was a known fact that getting in Vince's way when he wanted something was a bad idea and right now they were all standing in the way of him getting any shot at his granddaughter. She got up and walked over to where her car seat was sitting and debated about putting her inside it but then changed her mind, opting to just cuddle her in her arms some more. She heard the loud pounding out in the hallway and immediately went into protection mode, something bad was about to happen and she could feel nothing but panic.

DX jumped to their feet and immediately formed barriers around Stephanie and Aurora. Jillian was standing just a few feet away, just in case there was something she could do to keep the two of them safe. When the door flew open there was nothing but chaos everywhere. There was fighting everywhere and Aurora woke up and started screaming at the noise. Stephanie could feel nothing but panic as she looked for any way to get herself and her daughter out of there safely. She realized there was nothing she could do as A-Train stood in front of her with an evil grin on his face.

Paul walked into the locker room and stared at the destruction and scattered bodies of his teammates. He noticed Jillian struggling to wake up and felt his blood boiling. He knew immediately what had happened and now he was going to go and make his father-in-law pay. He rushed out of the room and headed towards where the GM office was.

Stephanie made sure she was in the way of any moves Vince or Sable could make towards her daughter. They were in the back of a limo heading somewhere and all Stephanie could think of was there was no way Paul was going to be able to find them now. She knew she was the only person who could protect her daughter from the monster her father had become.

"What do you want?" Stephanie asked for the millionth time it seemed.

"Relax, I just wanted some time with my daughter and a chance to get to know my granddaughter." Vince said as he sipped some champagne. He held out a glass towards Stephanie who declined yet again. "Why won't you have some?"

"I'm breastfeeding, it's not good for Aurora." Stephanie said simply.

"All right I will except that for now." Vince said shrugging his shoulders. "My granddaughter is surprisingly beautiful considering who her parents are, don't you think?" Vince asked Sable with a snide look on his face.

"Well we know she doesn't take after her mother or father so it must be your genes coming through." Sable responded with a sweet smile on her face and a look of utter adoration for Vince on her face.

"Oh puh-lease I really think you wouldn't want throw up on the floor of your limo. Why don't you just tell me why I am here and what you want so we can get this over with?" Stephanie asked rolling her eyes.

"That should be obvious Stephanie. What I want is for you to come to your senses about this whole thing. Paul Leveque is the last person you should be with, he is the last person in the world that should be connected with our family. I want you to divorce him, I will make sure he has no shot at custody of little Aurora and you join me. If you do this then I can ensure that you are completely safe and so is my granddaughter." Vince said sipping his champagne.

"Why can't you be like a normal person and just accept that as an adult I am allowed to make my own decisions? You killed my first child and now I finally have a beautiful baby with the man I love, why can't you just leave it at that?" Stephanie asked with tears forming in her eyes. A part of her was screaming she should accept the deal for her daughter and her husbands sake. Maybe if she did what her father wanted he wouldn't hurt either of them but her heart wouldn't let her. She had been away from Paul for way to long.

"Stephanie we can take Aurora away from you right now and there would be no way you could find her." Sable spoke up with a cocked eyebrow.

"You stupid little…" Stephanie trailed off with a glance at her infant daughter. She took a deep breath and then released it before she started speaking again. "If you think you are going to touch my little girl I will have to hurt you."

"Like you could stop me." Sable muttered but kept quiet after a glance from Vince.

Paul was furious as his fist went through another wall. He couldn't believe that there was no way to track where Vince had taken his family. Paul was trying so hard to keep that anger showing so that no one would know that deep down he was panicking. He needed to find his wife and his infant daughter. He knew Stephanie was still recovering from giving birth and Aurora was basically a newborn and completely defenseless. This was all his fault, he should have seen this coming. He should have known that Vince would do whatever it took to get to Stephanie and Aurora and he had failed them.

"If anything happens to my family there will be nothing left for me but to take out Vince McMahon." Paul whispered completely unaware that DX had gathered around him.

"You won't be alone when it comes time to rid the world of Vincent Kennedy McMahon. We are all behind you." The said together in unison.
