Erupting With Lies

Chapter 2

The next morning Stephanie wakes up bright and early, she has to go find Jericho and give him her answer. She had thought about it all night and came to the realization that even though she loved him with all her heart, he had hurt her. She needed her retribution.

Chris is impatiently waiting for Stephanie to get there. He told her to be there at 6:00 sharp. It was now bridging on 6:30. He hoped that she had made the right choice. He really didn't want to have to let go of her. This was his one and only chance to ever get to 'work' with Stephanie McMahon, and damn it he was not gonna let that opportunity pass him by.

Steph quietly knocks on his hotel room door, she didn't want anybody to hear. While waiting she looked at her watch, she realized that the time was quarter of seven. But so what is she was a little late he would get over it. He had to. A few moments later the door opened to reveal Chris in just his boxers and socks. 'What does he think we're going to do?' she thought. She was going to answer herself too but she was jerked from the hallway into the room before she could even try.

"Why the hell did you do that?" she screeches once inside.

"Do what?" "Pull me in here stupid. You hurt my damn arm."

"I didn't want anybody to see you, sorry." He said, pointing out the obvious.

"It's seven in the morning on a Tuesday. All normal people are sleeping."

"That's why we're one of a kind Stephie. We don't sleep." He laughs and then pauses to think for a moment, "What's your answer." He finally asks, "Do you want to get revenge against Hunter, or are you going to go crawling back to him on your hands and knees like a dog?"

She eyes him suspiciously, "What's in it for you? There has to be some kind of catch."

"Nothing. I just want to help you get back at him for not believing you."

"Okay, Chris Jericho, you've got your self a deal." They shake hands and then Stephanie leaves wordlessly back to her hotel room.

On her way though she runs into somebody, literally. She sheepishly looks up and sees him, the love of her life. " Hey Hunter." She meekly squeaks.

"Hi."

"Um... I should go." She doesn't go though; her feet stay planted where they were on the floor.

"You should...but don't."

"We need to talk."

"Again, we should. But we can't. It's too soon."

"Okay." she says hesitantly, " Well, I'll see you around?"

"Yeah, you will. Bye." They both turn on their heels and go the opposite direction from each other.

February 28th

Tonight Chris and Kurt are scheduled to go head to head with Triple H and Kane. All are backstage and discussing the plan for the match. Stephanie was really just half paying attention, nodding and saying things occasionally. For some reason her mind was just somewhere else tonight. She had a feeling that something odd was going to happen. She just couldn't place her finger on it.

Hunter was desperately trying to get focused on his match. It was on in 10 minutes and he couldn't get Stephanie out of his head. He wanted to badly to go find her and make everything better. Just pretend that she didn't lie and go back to how they used to be, happy, carefree and manipulative. But it just couldn't be like that anymore. She screwed up and she screwed up bad. Just then a production man knocked on his door telling him that he was needed at the gorilla for the match. Once the man left Hunter grabbed his water bottle and headed out.

Stephanie was painfully walking down the ramp with Jericho. These boots were killing her feet. She figured that it went with the territory but she didn't think that it was going to be this bad. If she had known then she would have worn open toed shoes. They would be more free. She was brought out of her thoughts by a slight nudge from Kurt. When she looked up the match had already started. While Chris and Hunter were body banging in the ring she wondered if it was a good idea to be out here. She could get hurt. And that would mean jeopardizing her health. And that wouldn't be too good. She again looks up to check on the match and sees Chris being beaten down and Kurt yelling at her to get in the ring to help him. She does as she is told and reluctantly goes for Triple H's hair. She pulls him off Chris and is soon in the pedigree position. This was NOT good. But then, a voice and video blare over the titan-tron. Hunter lets go of Stephanie and stares blankly at the screen. She really WAS pregnant.
