The two McMahon's burst into the room a second later, Vince nearly colliding with Lilian in his haste to get to his wife. Stephanie followed at a slightly slower pace, though panic was settling in her pretty features. She barely glanced at Lilian and said, "Oh, Mom."

"I'm fine, dear," Linda said before Stephanie could talk anymore. "I was really lucky."

"Your damn right you were lucky," Vince growled. "I'm going to kill that son of a bitch Kane when I get my hands on him."

"Don't worry, my father, brother, and sister are the only ones in our family who are really violent," Lilian murmured to the doctor, who had moved next to her so Vince and Stephanie could fuss over Linda. The doctor was wearing a shocked look and Lilian nearly laughed at his reaction to Vince's vehemence. Obviously the doctor wasn't a fan of wrestling, otherwise he wouldn't have been the least bit surprised.

"Mom, why in the hell were you out there anyway?" Stephanie asked, running a hand through her long brunette hair.

"Well, Kane went after Lilian," Linda said hesitantly, glancing at the small blonde standing next to the doctor.

"Lilian, I didn't even see you here," Vince said, finally noticing his youngest daughter for the first time.

"Well, I find that hard to believe considering you almost knocked me over," Lilian muttered, and the doctor snorted. "That's okay, Dad," she said louder. "I know you were worried about Mom." She turned her gaze to her sister, and said coolly, "Hello, Stephanie."

"Hello, Lilian," her sister answered just as stiffly.

The doctor glanced between the two women, confused. The tension in the room could have been cut with a knife. He was wondering what kind of family this was.

His thoughts were broken when Stephanie noticed the cast on Lilian's arm and asked, "What happened to your arm?"

"I fell down earlier," Lilian said carefully, not wanting to mention the fact that Eric Bischoff and Steve Austin were in the hospital and had caused her injury. Lilian knew how much her father despised. no, loathed, both men.

Unfortunately, Linda answered at the same time, saying, "She got in the middle of a scuffle between Steve Austin and Eric Bischoff."

"Oh, is that true, Lilian?" Vince asked, narrowing his eyes at his daughter.

"Daddy, it was an accident," Lilian protested, squirming slightly at his steady gaze.

"Some accident if you ended up with a broken arm," Stephanie scoffed, rolling her eyes at her sister's attempt to downplay the accident.

"Yeah, just like it was an accident when all my new dolls' head were missing when I woke up the day after my birthday," Lilian shot back, glaring at her older sister as she reminded her of a childhood incident.

"Oh, please, Lilian, that happened 23 years ago. Daddy bought you a new set the next day," Stephanie said, shaking her head.

"Girls, enough," their mother said sternly, and the two girls blushed at their mother's chastisement.

"Yeah," Vince said, just as sternly. "I need to deal with those two morons who hurt Lilian and Kane without having to worry about a cat fight here."

"Oh, Daddy, Steve didn't mean it. In fact, it was Bischoff that hit me and caused me to fall," Lilian said.

"Are my ears deceiving me? Is my sister actually defending Steve Austin?" Stephanie asked.

"Shut the hell up, Stephanie. Daddy, Steve didn't mean to hurt me. Don't punish him. In fact, don't punish Bischoff either. They were here to check on Mom. Neither of them meant to hurt me," Lilian said in a rush.

"So let me get this straight, Lilian. You think this was a total accident and no one should get blamed or punished?" Vince asked, raising a skeptical eyebrow at his daughter.

"That's right, Daddy," Lilian said, squaring her shoulders as best she could, fighting the exhaustion that was settling over her.

"Then I sure am glad you don't own the business cause that is the dumbest idea I have ever heard. You are my daughter, damn it, and I will do whatever I feel fit when it comes to the welfare of my children," Vince sneered. Stephanie tried to hide a laugh, but it came out as a snort.

Lilian gritted her teeth. "You know what, Daddy?" she said calmly. "I was nearly attacked tonight. I just spent the last eight hours worrying about Mom and staying by her side until you came so that she wouldn't feel afraid or alone. My fucking arm is broken, I'm exhausted, and I feel like I am going to be sick. There are other ways to thank me, and this goes to you too, Stephanie, than to be nasty and ungrateful," Lilian said, turning on her heel and storming out of the hospital room.

"You know, Vince, you could have been a little more sensitive to your daughter," Linda pointed out calmly, though her eyes were flashing with anger to her husband.

"Oh, come on, Mom, you know Lilian gets overemotional sometimes," Stephanie said, rolling her eyes.

"Shut up, Stephanie," Linda barked, giving her husband a pointed look.

"Oh, all right, I'll go find her," Vince sighed. "Stephanie, find out all the information you need to know from the doctor."

"Aye aye, Captain Vince," Stephanie answered sarcastically, looking at the doctor as her father exited the room. "Well?" she asked the doctor, and he hastily began explaining Linda's condition and treatment to follow.

Vince turned a corner, cursing the hospital for having so many twists and turns. However, what he saw made him freeze in his tracks.

His daughter was sobbing in the arms of Stone Cold Steve Austin.
