Story Title: Breathe (Sequel to Addiction.)











Characters: Vince McMahon, Jeff Hardy, Stephanie McMahon (In Story she is known as Stephanie Hardy), Matt Hardy, Lita, Ronda(owns herself ), Rose Parker(owned by me), Shane McMahon, Linda McMahon, Edge, Mighty Molly(or Nora Greenwald), Desire Parker. Anyone else I didn't mention hasn't appeared in my outline.





Story notes: This story picks up directly after the Wedding. During this time Rose has revealed that she and Vince married before Linda and Vince did and she and her daughter are entitled to the McMahon fortune and stocks. Stephanie has sued Rose for Slander and Libel when Rose went on "Good Morning America" and Announced that she was the wife of Vincent K. McMahon and her daughter should have the last name. No one has met this daughter yet. She also mentioned a few of the McMahon secrets that were not denied. This story begins right at the end of Stephanie and Jeff's Honeymoon in France.









"Jeff are you ok?" Stephanie asked him as he slipped into the room and squeezed her hand.



Jeff moved to where his wife was. Shane's words ringing in his ears. He felt panicked and a rush of fear washed over him. He couldn't place it but his brother in-laws's words made sense. He couldn't fight it. He wanted to. Oh how he wanted to but it was like his world was being covered in darkness and he was being swallowed also. Running his fingers through his hair absently he schooled his features to a smiling mask. He couldn't tell her that he doubted her love. He shouldn't have these feelings now. He loved her with all that she had but couldn't ignore the fact that there was a possibility that she didn't love him. He had to calm himself. A confrontation in the room would seize everyone with a thick sense of oddness. Even Linda was looking at him strangly. The wide oval table and the lawyers were looking at him. He couldn't hold it. He had to take care of it that instant or let the anxiety and dread burn him alive. He hadn't even noticed that his wife had repeated her question several times.



"Me and Shane had a little talk." He said looking down at her. "You know I love you right?"









"Jeff of course I do and I love you too…."Stephanie pulled him to her kissing the top of his head. "What brought this on?"









"Something Shane said I never should have let him get to me." Jeff replied.







"Are you sure you're ok?" Stephanie put a hand to his cheek and rubbed her thumbs against his temples.







"Yeah I'm fine really don't worry about me." Jeff planted a sweet kiss on her lips.









"Awwwww isn't this the sweetest thing." Desire walked into the room and sat down a few chairs from Jeff. Her long muscled legs exposed. He looked in the other direction. He wouldn't fall prey to her charms just because she was a familiar face. He rubbed his wife's temples in the same way she did for him in an attempt to calm her down. Just then a tall blonde woman(Dude Ronda you are blonde right lol?) walked into the room. Her navy blue studded dress suit clinging to her every curve. The look on her face was that of confidence. When she smiled she radiated that confidence towards the Hardys. She took a seat on the other side of Stephanie.







"Hello Mrs. Hardy I am Mrs. Johnson(HA!!! IF you won't put your own character with ROCKY THeN I'll DO IT ANYWAYZ!) of Thomas, Judy, and Johnson." She held her hand out to Stephanie and Jeff. "I'm your new lawyer."







"Very nice to meet you Mrs. Johnson." Stephanie shook hands with the woman as did Jeff. "You're Dwayne's wife aren't you?"









"That I am." A small smile formed on her lips as she turned to the rest of the people at the table just as Shane rushed in and took a seat. This emitted a small laugh from Jeff and Stephanie at his appearance.







"Hello I am Mr. Highland Mr. McMahon's attorney." The elderly man resembled that of Santa Clause minus the rosy cheeks and nose. His eyes lit up when he lifted the paper in front of him "Mr. McMahon wrote in his will this letter and leave of possesions."







My dearest family,

I am writing this letter two days after receiving an invitation from my darling daughter Stephanie. I feared above all that she would exclude me from her life. I am forever grateful to her for giving me her father a second chance. My new son in law I hope to God that you take care of her. I am trusting you with the only thing that now gives me something to smile about. I've watched her in training and she is truly amazing. To my one and only wife Linda I curse my self for lying to you. I feel blessed that you stayed with me as long as you did. My heart you must know will always be with you, always. To my son Shane-o-mac I am amazed at the man you have become. Willing to sacrifice yourself and pretty much anything to get what you want. I honestly am sorry for what I have to do to you. It is with out a shadow of a doubt that your determination and your need to succeed will be your downfall and is your only weakness. Stephanie I grant you 25 % ownership of the company alongside with your Mother's 25 %. Linda and you shall carry on the era of the McMahons. I hope that now the Hardy-McMahon era will bring on new heights in the company that I have torn my life apart for. As for my other daughter and her mother. I grant you both on a hole 25 % of the company. My son Shane I hand over to you the final percentage of the company and the McMahon Estates for you, your wife, and your future children. God bless you my loved ones and don't forget me.





"Daddy…" Stephanie barely whispered leaning her head into the crook of Jeff's neck. "So he's given us four ownership of WWF?"







"Yes Ma'am. " Mr. Highland nodded and passed the contracts around the room. There was a small smile from Rose and Desire as He handed the contract to Mrs. Johnson.









"Sir you have given Mrs. Hardy and Mrs. McMahon the wrong contract. I do believe it said she is to be given her own 25 % as does Linda. Not 25 % over all." Ronda gave the Parker's a haughty look and handed them the contract as they passed the correct one back to her.









"I accept." Stephanie said once Ronda skimmed over the contract and she and Jeff discussed it.









"Same here." Shane said looking at his mother.









"FINE" Rose and Desire agreed much to everyone's surprise.











"Then it's all agreed." Ronda said. "Mr. And Mrs. Hardy may I please speak with you in private if we are all done here?"









"Yes, I believe we are Ms. Johnson." He eyed her long legs and her chest. "May I suggest we meet afterwards for a cup of coffee?"







"HMMM some how I think my husband Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would have a problem with that Mr. Highland." She smiled smugly when his expression went from cocky to shocked. "Mr. and Mrs. Hardy if you'd please."







"Surely Mrs. Johnson." Jeff said as he and Stephanie stood and walked out of the room leaving a very flustered Mr. Highland and three very calculating, manipulative people.







"We need to break them up if we're going to win this." Shane had an innocent grin on his face. Or it might have been seen as innocent had everyone in the room not known what he was planning. "Desire I need you to get to Jeff while I take care of my sister."





"Already two steps ahead of you Brother." Desire jumped up and followed the Hardys out of the door. Creeping silently to the area they were in she crouched down low and watched the scene before her. Stephanie had just walked away when Ronda began moving closer to Jeff. In a way she wanted to run up to him and smack him for what he was doing. She stopped herself from thinking that. Her mother hadn't brought her this far for her to harbor any feelings for the other McMahon children. Unfortunately it wasn't what she thought. Ronda handed him some pictures of her and her husband. She lifted out of her purse a mini cam. She began filming the entire scene. She had to make it seem as if something was going on. Looking around she saw a little kid with dusty brown hair. His well creased slacks and vested shirt told her that he wouldn't just take 50 bucks and do what she asked. The kid looked about 8 and not that stupid. Getting his attention he walked over. She slipped 100 dollars into his hands and she pointed at the two.







"AWWW she's just the cutest thing." Jeff laughed at the picture of Ronda and Dwayne's daughter who had cake all over her face. "God I can't wait until me and Stephanie have kids."







"Trust me wait you'll miss the silence at night." Ronda slid the pictures back in her purse.









"Not much silence in our house at night." Jeff laughed at the face she made.









"No offense but ew… didn't need that picture in my mind." Ronda laughed and began coughing when she felt a sharp pain at her back. Suddenly she was falling forward on Jeff. They tumbled and she wasn't sure how but he'd ended up on top. A child's laughter could be heard. There was a rumbling of small feet as the child ran in front of them just as Jeff began to help Ronda up off the floor. For a moment in time their voices became hushed. Desire craned her neck to see and hear. Shifting in position she saw the delighted look on both of their faces. She smiled wickedly. With any luck she wouldn't have to activate all of her mother's plans. Ronda would be the pawn already in place. She noticed Stephanie from the far side of the room. She had her hand over stomach and the look on her face was classic. Pain and anguish etched in her beautiful features. Then her twin straightened her clothes and plastered a smile on her face. She walked back to join her husband and what could be his lover.









"On second thought I think we can wait." He laughed just as Stephanie walked up.







"Hey what's going on?" Ronda smiled at her pulling out the pictures she was showing Jeff before she walked in.







"AWW they're just precious." Stephanie smiled placing a hand on her stomach absentmindedly. She looked aimlessly around the room and then smiled at Ronda.









"Well I really must be going, Dwayne starts really worrying when I don't call him from the hotel when I say I will. " She kissed Stephanie on the cheek and hugged Jeff. "Bye!"









"To the hotel we go?" Gripping her hand with his own he pulled her close to him. "Everything will be ok don't worry."









She stood there wondering how long it was going on. Did it happen before she got back. She couldn't even begin to fathom the possibilities. Her heart sunk as she looked at him. His smile, his face, the way he talked. She loved him just as much as she did when she first met him. Did he not feel the same. Why did he marry her? Was it for the money just like Rose said. Did she really marry him while he was seeing Ronda on the side. What would happen if Dwayne found out. He'd kill him. If this was true SHE'D KILL HIM. Her gaze rose to meet his and she became lost in those eyes. Those beautiful green eyes.







"Yes, everything will be fine." She tried to smile but all that came out was a weak, sad hue. " Everything is fine."









"Alright then lets go." They both walked out of the doors.









"Oh my god we won't even need this anymore." She slipped the camera back into her purse. "All we have to do is watch and instigate and she'll be putty in our hands not to mention the fact that she could be pregnant. Watch out sis…when I'm done with you you'll be right back where you started…. In your own personal hell."
