**Steph's night out**
After Raw was over, Steph met up with Paul and as they were on their way out, they ran into Shawn Michaels and a few others. Shawn looked at Paul, "Hey, do you guys want to go and grab something to eat? That's where we're headed."
Paul looked at Steph, "What do you think?"
"I don't mind, we were going to go out anyway."
Shawn smiled, "Ok, I'll let everyone know and we'll go grab some food."
A few minutes later they were all piling into a couple of SUV's. Paul, Shawn, Dave Batista and Kevin Nash were in one vehicle and Steph was in the other so her and Paul could head out after.
Shawn looked at Paul, "This is like the old days isn't it?"
Paul nodded, "Yeah, except for I'm not with Steph." And a sad look came over him.
"She's at least with you though." Shawn offered.
"Yeah but she won't be for much longer. She's engaged and pregnant." Paul shot back.
The whole SUV erupted. "What?" "Pregnant?" "Who's she seeing?" "Engaged?"
Paul nodded, "She's engaged to the Next Big Thing and pregnant with his kid."
Shawn rubbed his shoulder, "I'm sorry man. I know how much you loved her. It's bad when outside things get in the way. Remember when Rebecca and I almost split up because I let outside influences in, but I seen the light and I proved myself to her."
"Well, I don't have any more chances to prove it to her."
Batista piped up, " I know that I don't know a whole lot of the past, but maybe that's best. Tonight, sweep her off her feet and show her that you've changed. There's no ring on that finger yet. That's something my wife taught me right before we got married."
"Well, all I can do is show her the greatest time of her life on the way to Smackdown and see what it gets me." Paul offered.
Shawn looked at him, "Just don't forget the fact that she's engaged and with child."
Everyone laughed, and Paul mussed up Shawn's hair, 'Yes father, I will respect her."
Then they pulled into the parking lot of a bar and restaurant for dinner.
Nash helped Paul out of the truck and got him steady, "Now remember, this may not be the most formal place in the world, but back when DX was around, you guys always ate at these places because she it was her secret vice remember?"
Paul smiled, "Yeah I remember, thanks man."
They got inside and met up with Steph. "Where do you guys want to sit?"
"How about the giant booth over there? Paul can sit on the end." Nash offered.
They all piled into the big booth and were very smooshed. Steph was squished between Paul and Shawn.
Paul looked at Steph, "You should feel like the luckiest woman alive right now."
Steph had a puzzled look while trying to get comfortable, so she rested one hand on Shawn's leg and one on Paul's, "Gee, why's that?"
"Because you're stuck between a "sexy boy" and "the game", looks like you're in for a helluva night."
Everyone started laughing and she gave both boys a hug. "It's been a long time since I've been out with you guys, and Dave, I've never been out with you."
Nash looked at Dave, "You're lucky she's pregnant right now because she can be a wild woman after a few drinks."
Everyone laughed. And Steph laughed hardest. She looked at Paul, "Well, I'm sober driver, so you don't have to worry about that."
So the boys minus Shawn ordered up some drinks and talked about business and Steph looked to Shawn, "Wanna dance?"
"Sure."
Shawn and Steph headed out to the dance floor and began to slow dance. "How are you doing Steph?" Shawn asked.
"I'm doing good, I'm having a really good time. Going out with you guys is always a trip." Steph replied.
"Well I'm glad that we're entertaining. Can I ask you something personal?"
"Of course Shawn."
"Do you still feel anything for Paul?"
Steph stopped dancing for a minute, "Um, why do you ask?"
"Just the way that you look at him."
"Oh, well, yeah I do still have feelings for him. We were married for 3 years together for even longer. But, that time of my life is over now, and I've moved on." Steph replied.
"Just remember one thing, and I'll drop the subject, he still loves you too." Shawn responded and then held Stephanie close to him for the rest of the song.
After the song was over, they went back to the table and Steph and the boys ordered some food. They all began to share old time stories. Nash smiled, "I have the best one ever."
"What's that?" Paul asked.
"Think back when DX was still around. Scott (Hall) and I came into town and we all decided to go out. Paul came into the locker room with Shawn, Billy and Sean (X-Pac) and Paul had just started dating Stephanie but didn't want to tell anyone but yet he wanted her to come with. So he walks in with this sheepish grin, and the DX boys knew but Scott and I had no clue except for it was someone who had totally brought out a new side of him. So he has this sheepish look on his face and says, "I was wondering if you guys would mind if I brought my girlfriend because I would really like for her to get to know you guys since you're my best friends." We didn't care so we're like yeah whatever we don't mind. Shawn is trying so hard not to laugh. And at this point, (looking at Batista) Vince and Scott and I were not on good terms. We hated the McMahons and they hated us. So Paul walks out and comes back in with Steph on his arm. "Steph, " he starts real slow, "I want you to meet the real side of these guys," and introduces her to Scott and myself, and then looks at us, "This is my girlfriend Stephanie." We both busted out laughing because we thought that he wasn't serious, but Steph got mad and turned around and stormed out. Paul went off."
Bye now everyone was laughing and Steph was leaning on Paul laughing so hard. Paul put his hand on Steph's and Steph held it back. And they were both smiling.
"Paul called us every name in the book. That's how we realized it wasn't a joke. So we promised Steph a great night if she would give us a second chance. Well, we get to this little dive bar and Steph orders herself a Long Island iced tea. What she doesn't realize since she doesn't normally go to places like this, is they make them quite stronger than normal. 2 drinks later, Paul and Shawn who are both trashed are trying to convince Steph to come off the table because she was up there dancing a way and drunk off her ass!" Nash continued.
Steph was so red, "Dave just remember that this was a while ago, and I'm not a wild child at all."
"Bullshit" echoed from the guys around the table.
"Everytime we would go out, Steph knew that she could let loose and be herself, not the straight-laced little rich girl that everyone makes her. But that was my favorite story." Nash ended.
Everyone applauded. They sat around and finished eating and had one last drink and then it was time for Paul and Steph to hit the road if they were going to be to Smackdown on time. "Well, I had a really good time tonight guys, thanks." Steph offered and hugged everyone. "See ya later." And Paul and Steph headed out on the road.
"Thanks again Paul, I had a great time."
Paul smiled, "Anytime Steph, anytime."
The whole way to Smackdown they exchanged old days stories and held hands the entire time.
