Disclaimer: I don't own anyone in the story...you all know this, but I
remind you anyways.
A/N: Sorry about updates. I had planned on updating sooner, but there has been so much crap going on around my house, there was literally no time and I wasn't really in the mood to write anyways. Finally, the site has shaped up, and allowed me to update chapters properly. So, here's for the next chapter!!

1:00-2:00PM
**1:00** Hunter's eyes became saucers when the word that Chris had spoken registered in his mind.
"What did you say, Irvine?" Hunter growled at him. Chris didn't respond.
Stephanie's jaw dropped when she realized what he had said. She turned back to look at the man and then she remembered where she had seen him before.
He was indeed Chris' dad, Ted Irvine, because Chris had a picture of both his parents on his TV. He always joked about seeing his parents "on TV."
**1:03** Ted Irvine let a little smirk come across his face. Stephanie didn't know why she hadn't seen it before. They looked almost exactly alike when they smirked like that. Hunter was taking unnoticed steps back towards the door as Ted approached his son. He was almost out the door when it flung open.
**1:07** Vince McMahon strode into the room, bumping into Hunter in the process. Hunter jumpe and bolted out the door. Vince took no notice of him . He simply rushed over to Stephanie and engulfed her in a hug.
"Oh, God Stephanie, I never thought I'd see you again. I was so worried!!" He said, while stroking his daughter's hair. She was sobbing into his chest.
"Oh, Daddy, I was s-so s-scared." She stuttered into his chest. Chris and Ted had been watching the scene, but now Chris returned his attention to his father.
"I thought that you were killed in the fire..." Chris started as his father sat down in the chair that Hunter had previously occupied.
"No, I was on my way to your house to talk to you. Your mother is at your aunt's house." Ted explained to him. "You're a hard man to track down sometimes." He then turned to Stephanie. "I'm sorry if I frightened you. I had to find out what was going on here. I knew that you and Chris were still good friends, and I figured that if anyone knew anything, you would be the one to know." Stephanie nodded as her father released his hug on her.
**1:16** Hunter ran to his SUV in the parking lot. He hopped in and started it They would figure out most of Eric's plan, now that they were all together, and he couldn't allow that. His car phone rang as he started to search through the glove box for his contingency plan item. He picked up the phone.
"What?" He growled, while still searching through the glove box.
"Do you always answer your phone like that?" a female voice on the other end asked him.
"What do YOU want?"
"Just to tell you that.....that you're going to be a father." Hunter stopped rummaging.
"What?" he asked.
"I'm pregnant." Hunter blinked. He rubbed his forehead.
"Well, that great, but I gotta go." He said, then hung up without waiting for an answer. He pulled the item that he had been searching for out of the glove box, and sat it in the passenger seat. It was going to be a lot harder to concentrate now.
**1:27** Rebecca hung up her cell phone and continued on the interstate in the direction of Connecticut. She couldn't believe that he had just hung up like that. She would make him come around when she got there.
**1:29** Randy Orton, Dave Batista and Ric Flair all sat around the ring in the arena. They had been instructed to take Chris and Stephanie to the Boiler Room if either showed up.
"I wonder when Hunter's coming back." Randy wondered out loud. Batista and Flair shrugged simultaneously.
"He'll be back when his job is finished." Flair said to him.
**1:32** Hunter flipped the switch on the small box next to him and a timer appeared. It began to count down from 30 seconds.
"Irvine, if you live through this, God must be watching over you today." Hunter said to himself as he put the SUV in drive and began to speed towards the hospital. The SUV barreled into the lobby of the hospital.
Three seconds later, it exploded.
**1:36** Shawn was sitting in Vince's office again, wondering where the old man had gotten off to now. The phone began to ring. Shawn looked around the room and then walked over to answer the phone.
"Hello?" He asked.
"Vince?" a young man on the other end asked.
"Nope, this is Shawn Hickenbottom."
"Shawn, this is Shane McMahon."
"Oh, hey, what's up Shane?" Shawn asked him.
"Is my dad there, by any chance? I can't find him anywhere. He's not answering his cell phone or his beeper." Shane told him.
**1:40** Warning bells sounded in Shawn's head. Vince always answered his phone, no matter where he was or what he was doing.
"His secretary said that he went to a hospital where your sister and Chris Irvine were."
"Shit.....Did the secretary give you the name of the hospital, Shawn?" Shane asked, suddenly becoming worried.
"Yeah, actually, it's called Northwest Regional." Shawn told him. "Why?" Shane sighed heavily on the other end.
"That was the hospital that just exploded 8 minutes ago." Shane informed him. Shawn slammed a fist on the desk.
"You want me to check it out?" he asked him.
"No, I need you to go over to the arena and let everyone know what happened. Tell them that NOTHING is certain yet, and that we will let them know as soon as we can."
"OK, what are you going to do?"
"Try and get a hold of Dad again."
**1:46** Chris groaned and tried to open his eyes. He saw nothing but blackness. His head was still pounding. He slowly propped himself up on his elbows and looked around the room. He had just gotten dressed and they were going to leave when everything went black.
"Stephanie?" he yelled into the darkness as he slowly sat up. He heard a muffled groan somewhere close to him. He started to grope in the darkness in the direction of the groan. His hands came across an arm. He felt his way up the arm to the chest to see if this person was alive. He placed both hands on their chest.
It was Stephanie.
He left his hand there for a few moments to determine whether or not she was still breathing. The slow movement of her chest indicated that she was indeed alive.
Chris let out a sigh of relief and removed his hands as the emergency lights kicked on, illuminating the room somewhat.
Stephanie opened her eyes and tried to speak, but found it hard to do so. The room looked like a tornado had hit it. There a huge crack in the floor, where Chris was sure if there was more weight added to it, it would collapse into the floor below him. Crhis patted Steph's hand and stood up.
**1:54** Chris stepped over Stephanie to check on his father. He checked his pulse and found nothing. Tears swelled in his eyes. He bit his tongue and swallowed them. He noticed an envelope in his breast pocket. Chris picked it up and examined the front of it. It had his name on it, so he stuffed it in the back pocket of his jeans. A lone tear rolled down his face as he backed away from his father.
"Vince?" he yelled into the room, trying to calm his emotions down a little bit. Stephanie was beginning to sit up.
"Dad?" She croaked out. Another groan was heard from the far side of the room. Chris hopped over the crack in the floor and started searching around the hospital bed. Vince was underneath of it.
**1:59** "Vince!" Chris nearly screamed when he found him. There was blood pooling out around him. The bed seemed to be holding most of him together.
"C-Chris...is...is....S-Stephanie.....?" Vince stuttered.
"Yeah, she's fine Vince." Vince nodded slightly.
"Take..take....care...of....her....for me...will you? She....she....still.....loves you...you know that?" Chris nodded. I will, I promise." Chris took hold of Vince's hand.
"Promise me...one more thing....Chris...."
"Anything." Chris said.
"Before this day is over....I want you....to kill.....Eric Bischoff." Vince told him. Chris felt the tears coming up on him again. He let them spill over across his face.
**2:00* "I promise, Vince, I promise." Chris said as Vince McMahon took his final breath.
