It's been a week since the Vegas incident and Paul was working like crazy. He has talked to Stephanie a few times in the past week, he was planning on spending the weekend with her and Kelsey just so that they would be able get to know each other better. Paul's world has been in a whirlwind for the past week, he has purposely avoided his father because he knew that two seconds in his father's presence the truth would slip out. He doesn't want to disappoint his Dad and this whole accidental marriage was definitely on the top of that list. Sure the truth was going to come out eventually but this was definitely not the week or may not even the month. Paul needed to get this marriage on good terms and figured out before showing up with Stephanie at his parents' house introducing them.

Paul was currently at work in his office with his assistant, Lily, doing work. Lily was a college student and has worked for Paul for about three years and they have been really good friends since, so it was no surprise that once Paul got back from Vegas he told her everything that happened. The drunken night, the drunk wedding, him saying he wants to stay married. Lily knows the difficult relationship that Paul has with his father and understands why he won't tell him but it is a big deal. He remembers when he got back from Vegas and went to work and told Lily about it all.

*Flashback*

Paul got back from Vegas last night and was happy that he was back at work. He really need to talk to his assistant/ close friend Lily. He just needed to speak to someone that wasn't in Vegas with him so he can hear an outside opinion. When he got to his office, he saw Lily sitting at her desk typing on the computer. She looked up hearing someone walking towards her and smiled seeing her boss.

"Hey, how was Vegas?"

"There have been a few hiccups. We really need to talk" Paul said opening his office door and waited for Lily to walk in.

Lily looked a little worried not sure what Paul was about to tell her, what was the worst that could happen? He went to Vegas for three days, "Paul what happened?" Lily asked watching Paul shut the door

"Lily, I fucked up. I fucked up big time!" Paul said as he started to pace up and down his office.

"Paul, you will need to explain to me what you are talking about. As much as I would love to, I can't read you mind" Lily said stopping Paul in his tracks by grabbing him by his shoulders

"I got married in Vegas" Paul said coming straight out with it. He didn't know how else to put it.

"You what?" Lily said shocked biting her lip to stop herself from laughing, "how'd that happen? You went for Shawn's bachelor party"

"It's Vegas! I don't know. We went out, got drunk and woke up with a wedding ring on."

"Ohhh, you're screwed" Lily didn't bother holding in her laughter anymore and just burst out laughing, "I know this isn't funny but what the fuck were you thinking Paul? At least you can get an annulment"

"Yeah about that . . ." Paul started but trailed off not really knowing how to explain it to Lily

"What Paul? Just spit it out"

"I'm not getting an annulment or a divorce. I'm staying married to her, this is my fuck up and I want to prove to my Dad that I can fix them"

"And staying married to this chick is the answer?" Lily asked raising her eyebrows and the logic of Paul Levesque

"It better be, otherwise I have no idea how I'm going to face my Dad" Paul sighed and collapsed on his office chair.

*End Flashback*

That was five days ago and Lily was still bugging him about what he needs to do. It wasn't like he was actually listening to her, but it was nice knowing someone cared to give him advice.

"You need to tell him" Lily said handing paperwork for Paul to sign.

"You're crazy, I don't think I will be able to face him afterwards. I can just tell he's going to be disappointed in me" Paul said leaning back in his chair and looked up at his assistant

"You won't disappoint him Paul. Sure, when you told me I was shocked and a little upset that you ruined any chances between us" Lily joked as Paul rolled his eyes, "But for real, tell him. If he's disappointed in you then that's his fault. You are going out of your way to make sure that this marriage works so don't feel bad about it."

Who know's maybe Lily was right. He was making the marriage work and he had no reason to feel bad if his Dad didn't accept it. Paul's thoughts were interrupted as his office phone started to ring, filling the silent room. Not really wanting to answer the phone, Paul looked up at Lily with pleading eyes. Lily rolled her eyes and picked up the phone.

"Paul Levesque's office, Lily speaking" Lily said walking round Paul's desk and sat down in front of him, "Of course he's right here"

Who is it? Paul mouthed taking the phone from Lily who just winked at him and walked out of the office leaving Paul confused, "Hello?"

"Is that how you greet your father?"

"Dad" Paul said sitting up and straightened himself acting like his father was standing in front of him, "how can I help you?"

"Just wanted to see how my son and business were doing. I heard you went to a bachelor party during the weekend"

"Yes Dad, Shawn is marrying Rebecca in a month" Paul sighed, "are you just calling to complain that I took the weekend off to celebrate my friend's marriage? Because if you are then I'll have to hang up, I have a business to run"

"Okay, I won't hold you for too long then. Your mother wants to invite you over for dinner, you haven't been over for a long time"

"Is this you talking or Mom talking?" Paul sighed, as he leaned back in his chair.

"It doesn't matter Paul, just be over at 7" Before Paul could say anything his Dad hung up on him

"Nice speaking to you too Dad" Paul said putting the phone down and just sat staring into space.

He couldn't tell his father about his accidental marriage, could he? They just about had a relationship outside of work and his Dad only cared about things that would possible have an effect on the business and his money. Sure, if Paul and Stephanie were to get a divorce, Stephanie would be entitled to half of everything and that could include the business. So telling his Dad would mean that Paul would be forced into doing something that wouldn't make him happy.

"Is it safe to come in?" Lily asked sticking her head through the door

"Yeah come in" Paul said resting his forearms on the desk, "More boring paperwork for me to sign?"

"Only always" Lily said walking around the desk and placed the stack of papers in front of Paul, "How did it go with the Father?"

"Same conversation as usual. I try and live my life and he destroys it and then I think he starting to show interest in me only to find out that it's my Mom that cares" Lily could hear the disappointment in Paul's voice and felt a little upset that this was the relationship Paul had with his Dad

"I'm sorry Paul. I know that you want a better relationship with your Dad" Lily said placing her hand on Paul's shoulder

"What ya gonna do, huh? I'm used to it now, he's just happy that he had a son to teach the ins and outs of the business to"

"I know you Paul and I know that you are upset. You don't have to close yourself off from me . . ."

"I'm not," Paul snapped, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Sorry, it's just that I don't really care anymore. It does hurt a little that I can't please him no matter what I do but after 26 years of not having my Dad there I'm not bothered by it anymore"

Lily bit her lip stopping herself from saying anything else because she knew that, the confession that Paul just said was the best she was getting out of him. In the five years of working for Paul, she has gotten to know him quite well and could pretty much read him like a book.

"I'll drop it . . . for now. Just finish signing the papers, and then we have a lunch meeting at 2" Lily said patting Paul's shoulder softly and walked out of the office wishing that Paul would just open up to her more.

It was 7 o'clock. Which meant that it was time for the dinner from hell. After a busy day at work, going to dinner at his parents house was the last thing that Paul wanted to do but there wasn't much choice on his end. Pulling into his parents' driveway, Paul got out of the car and knocked on the door. Hopefully this would be a nice and easy family dinner but knowing his family it wasn't going to get close to that.

"Hi Mom" Paul smiled as his Mom, Pat, opened the door and pulled him into a hug.

"Paul, I'm so happy to see you. I see you finally pulled yourself out of the office"

"Didn't have much of a choice, I had to come home and see family" Paul said smiling down at his Mom.

"It isn't healthy to be working all of those hours" Paul smiled at his Mom, at least twice a week Paul would get a phone call from his Mom. They did really talk about much, all she did was complain that he worked too much and wasn't spending time with his friends and meeting women. If only she knew that he got married to a complete stranger, she'd probably have a heart attack, Paul thought

"I'm still living my life Ma. I told you I went Vegas with the boys for Shawn's bachelor party" Paul said shutting the door behind him and followed his Mom into the kitchen.

"Right, I forgot about that. Was it fun? How is everyone? I hope you wasn't working" Pat said quickly

"Mom, calm down. It was a lot of fun, and I took the weekend off so I didn't do any work while I was there"

"Don't see the reason as to why you took a whole weekend off work. You could've easily worked from Vegas, they definitely have internet connection" Paul turned around at the sound of his Father's voice

"Hi Dad, it's good to see you too. I'm doing great and you?" Paul asked completely changing the subject

"Senior, don't talk to him like that" Pat scolded, "It's clear that he doesn't want to turn into a workaholic, I'm glad that he was able to take time off and spend time with friends"

"Thank you, Mom" Paul said kissing his Mom's cheek, "And Dad if you must know, the business is going great. We are still rich and the company hasn't failed since I've taken over"

"Okay, I got the message. Good to see you home though son" Senior said patting Paul on the back

"Thanks Dad"

"And I don't want anymore arguing or business talk for the rest of the evening" Pat order, the boys muttered a 'yes' to show they understood, "good, Lynn and the kids should be here soon so play nice"

About ten minutes later Paul's older sister, Lynn, arrived with her two kids, Peter - the eldest - and Neysa - the youngest. Paul and his sister always got on really well, even with there 9 year age gap they would always have each other's back, especially with a Dad like theirs. Dinner went well there weren't many problems, only a few comments between Paul and Senior but that was it.

While Lynn and Pat were in the kitchen tidying up, Paul Sr. was watching TV in the den while Paul was playing with his niece and nephew on the floor. In the kitchen, a ringing phone interrupted the women's conversation, so Lynn picked it up and saw that it was Paul's phone ringing so she answered it, "Hello?. . . he's a little busy, can I take a message? . . . Who did you say this was again? . . . Of course, I'll tell him right now, bye"

Lynn hung up the phone and went on a manhunt looking for Paul. Finding him in the den, Lynn grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the room and out to the front of the house where no one could listen to their conversation.

"Ow, Lynn you're hurting my arm" Paul whined

"Stop being a pussy" Lynn said letting go of his arm and turned to face him, "When were you going to tell me?" Lynn asked crossing her arms with a disapproval look on her face

"Tell you what? I don't speak cryptic, sorry" Paul said mimicking her actions.

"You're married?!" Paul stared blankly at Lynn as she shouted at him
