"Linda, I'm actually a little bit worried about Stephanie." Vince said,
expressing concern of his youngest daughter over the phone to his wife.
She shook her head, even though he wasn't able to see her. "You know she gets into these little moods, keeps to herself, and then in a couple of days she'll be fine."
"Last time she got into one of these moods, she plotted with her brother to take over my company." Vince replied. He heard Linda sigh and rubbed the bridge of his nose after taking off his glasses. "It's just that I don't need to be worrying about her right now. I mean with all this crap going on with Flair and the damn Wildlife people-"
"Vince, I know." Linda cut him off. "Just trust me. She's going to be fine and back to her old self within a week tops."
"I really hope you're right." Vince said solemnly.

"Miss McMahon-Helmsley, how nice to see you again"
Stephanie gritted her teeth at the doctor's surprised fake-pleasant words, she was not going to lose her temper with so many surgical knives close at hand. She plastered a bright smile on her face as she shook his hand firmly; Daddy always said that to seem serious in business your handshake had to show this, she was serious.
He sat down opposite her and looked expectantly at her.
"Well, I know you so very kindly put these implants in for me several months ago and I remember you saying that if I was unhappy with them then I should come see you and you'd sort it out for me"
"Yes, always here to help"
"I am unhappy with them and I'd like them taken out please" her words were direct.
The doctor nodded, scratching some notes down on his notepad. "Any particular reason for this?"
"I had them done to make myself happy, it hasn't worked and I've realized that I'm better off without him-I mean them, I'd like to go back to my former size"
The doctor paused as he read through the notes he had in front of him then turned to address Stephanie seriously. "Miss McMahon-Helmsley, I am slightly reluctant to do this operation so soon, it has only been a few months since you asked for these implants and they may not have fully settled, it could leave severe scars and cause you pain later, are you absolutely sure that you want this done? I want you to be aware of the risks"
Stephanie sighed, he obviously wasn't used to dealing with McMahon's, when they set their mind to something, there was no turning back. "Listen doc, I don't care about the risks, I just want these things out of my body, if I feel any extra pain afterwards then I'll come back here and you can do something about it right?" the way she said it left no room for argument.
The doctor nodded. "Yes, I suppose that would work, I have had clients before who have done the same as yourself and been fine"
"Well, there you go then" Steph knew she was triumphant.
"Any time you'd like this done?"
"Today if possible, if not as soon as you can fit me in"
The doctor picked up his phone and dialed through to his secretary. "Tina, do we have anyone scheduled for the next two or so hours?....no? Thank you" He put the phone down and smiled a practiced smile at Stephanie. "It seems you're in luck Miss McMahon-Helmsley, no one has an appointment for the next few hours"
"How fortunate" Stephanie looked down at her skirt as she brushed it off
"Please got through to the changing room, I hope you remember where it is?"
"Of course"
Stephanie walked out of the doctor's room, smiling. Phase one in progress, once these babies had walked, she'd have time to shop for some new things before surprising her big brother. Mind you, Shane had never really liked her 'improved' figure anyway. She pulled her clothes off, replacing them with a thin green gown and tied her hair back. She smiled at her reflection.
"Next time you see me, I'm a changed woman!" Her reflection grinned back. Things were going her way, and they were going to stay that way.
She shook her head, even though he wasn't able to see her. "You know she gets into these little moods, keeps to herself, and then in a couple of days she'll be fine."
"Last time she got into one of these moods, she plotted with her brother to take over my company." Vince replied. He heard Linda sigh and rubbed the bridge of his nose after taking off his glasses.
