"You know what, you can just leave it's fine!"
"You want me out of your life!"
"You heard me you bitch, didn't you!"
"Yes, I heard you, you're fucking yelling!"
Trish stood outside their door, listening to them argue. She smirked to herself, she loved to hear this kind of stuff. She couldn't believe how quickly Chris and Stephanie's marriage was deteriorating. They were never happy anymore.
"Trish, what are you doing?" a voice said behind her.
She turned around quickly and saw Kurt standing a few feet away, "Nothing Kurt."
"Are you listening at that door?"
"I'm waiting for Chris so we can go out for our intergender match."
"You don't have to wait right outside the door do you?"
"No, I was just about to knock," Trish said, trying to cover up.
"You sure?" Kurt said, coming closer.
"I hate you!" Stephanie's voice came from inside.
Kurt walked over until he was standing next to Trish, "What's going on in there?"
"They're fighting," she told him, suppressing her smile.
"Fighting? But Chris and Steph don't fight."
"Well, they've been fighting a lot lately."
"They have?" Kurt asked concerned about the two of them.
"Yeah, devastating isn't it?" Trish said, trying not to laugh.
"Yeah," Kurt said, not recognizing her tone.
The two of them turned to the door, listening to the people on the other side. While Kurt was concerned for his friends, Trish was delighting in every harsh word that was spoken.
"Why don't you just shut the fuck up!?!" Chris yelled.
"Don't you even fucking dare say that to me! Who do you think you are?"
"I'm your husband, though I don't even know why?"
"Fine, you want to leave, then divorce me, I dare you!"
"Maybe I should!"
"Oh, then you can look like an asshole, divorcing your poor, pregnant wife, who has amnesia."
"You'd just love to look like the victim wouldn't you!?" Chris shouted.
"Whatever Chris."
"Fine, I'm outta here, I've got a match with Trish, someone who I can actually stand!"
Trish smiled at the comment, seemed this time she was breaking through. Chris would surely be receptive to her advances now. The two people on the outside of the door quickly rushed away from the door as they heard footsteps getting closer. Chris walked out a second later, an angry look on his face.
Chris was surprised to see Kurt there, he hadn't expected anyone but Trish to hear. He knew Trish would listen in especially since they had a match coming up next, but he didn't expect Kurt there as well. Usually he and Stephanie would get an out of the way dressing room so as not to arise suspicion that their marriage was actually in trouble.
Chris gave Kurt a look, then turned to Trish, "You ready babe?"
Trish smiled at his affectionate name, "Always."
They walked down the hallway together and Kurt watched them go. He couldn't believe what was going on. Chris and Stephanie hardly really fought with each other. Sure they did on-screen, but never in real life. And it seemed like there was something between Chris and Trish, but surely that wasn't right. It just couldn't. He turned to the door and knocked.
"Come in," Stephanie's voice called out.
Kurt walked in and saw her looking contentedly at a baby furniture magazine, "Hey Steph."
She looked up, "Oh hey Kurt, what's up?"
"Steph, is everything ok?"
"Yeah, everything's fine," she said, smiling at him, "I'm just looking at baby furniture."
Kurt studied her, "Are you sure? You can tell me if there was? I used to be your very best friend you know?"
"I know, I'm fine."
Kurt came over and sat down on the couch next to her, "I don't think you are."
"Kurt, what's the matter?"
"I heard you and Chris fighting a little while ago," Kurt said quietly.
"Oh."
"Yeah, what's going on Stephanie? Are you and Chris having problems?"
"No, we're fine."
Stephanie couldn't believe Kurt had heard them. They had tried so hard not to bring anyone else into their little plot, it was just easier that way. And besides, no one but Chris even knew she had her memory back.
"Stephanie, you don't have to lie to me. I heard you and Chris yelling about getting a divorce."
"Kurt, it was nothing really, just forget about it," Stephanie said, desperately trying to end this conversation.
"Steph, please, you can tell me if something's wrong."
Stephanie sighed. She might as well tell Kurt the truth. It wasn't like he'd use it against her and she knew she could trust him. Besides, they could use him in their little plan, especially to get Regan away so she wouldn't hear any fighting and get worried about her parents.
"Kurt, do you remember when we had to kiss?"
"Yeah, why do you ask? Did you see tapes?"
"No, but remember how your character was trying to seduce my character away from Triple H?"
"Yeah, that was a great storyline. Do you want me to tell you about it?"
"Trish is trying to do that but in real life," she explained.
"What do you mean?"
"She's trying to get Chris away from me."
"But why would she do that?"
"She wants the McMahon money and she figures if she can get me out of the picture, then she can get her hands on the cash and be set for life."
Kurt was a little taken aback, "Well, that's not cool. Oh, and with you and Chris having problems, she's probably ready to pounce."
"Kurt, Chris and I aren't having problems."
"You're not?"
"No, we're just playing with Trish because we know her agenda."
"Oh, ok," Kurt said, finally getting it, "Wow, I didn't even know you were into plans anymore, I guess a little bit of the old Steph is still in you."
"I suppose so...but I mean, we all have a little wild side in us. I mean, you like to dance like an idiot when you're drunk."
"Hey, I do not! Did Chris tell you that?"
"Hmm....and you also like to play the Rocky theme when you walk up your stairs."
Kurt's eyes got as big as saucers and looked at her in awe. She looked at him with a coy smirk on her face. Kurt grinned widely and threw his arms around her, giving her a tight hug.
"Oh my God, you're back!"
"Took you long enough to figure out," she told him.
He pulled away and looked at her, "When did it come back?"
"The day Chris and I renewed our vows."
"And you haven't told anyone because...."
"Because we wanted to keep it ours for a while, you understand don't you?"
"Of course I understand. But I'm so happy to have you back," he grinned.
"I know," she said, "Of course Trish is none too happy."
"I can only imagine. So what are you guys doing to her?"
"Well, we're pretending to be on the outs with each other, and she keeps coming on to Chris and he keeps telling her bogus shit about the two of us. And then I'm going to pretend to leave him and when she finally tries to make her move, we're going to expose her for the money grubber that she is. And then we'll fire her ass," Stephanie explained, grinning at the last part.
"Sounds good...but I have an even better idea," Kurt said.
"What?" Stephanie asked anxiously, she loved hearing plans.
"How about you and I pretend to have a little something on the side."
Stephanie started laughing. This was getting better and better. If Trish thought that Stephanie and Kurt has something going on, then she would immediately tell Chris and then it would further the plan quickly and she and Chris wouldn't have Trish being a pain in their side.
"You may be onto something Kurt, I'm totally liking that idea."
"You are? Really?"
"Yeah, I'm going to bring it up to Chris later, I'm sure he'll go for it."
"Great! Well, I have a promo to shoot after Chris's match, but let me know what he says about it."
"I will."
Kurt hugged her again, "I'm just glad you're back."
"Thanks Kurt."
"Bye Steph."
"Bye."
Stephanie sat there, watching her husband wrestling on the screen. She rested both of her hands on the bulge of her stomach. She smiled as she thought about how things would turn out and how they were getting a second chance, how she was getting a second chance. Chris's match ended and she waited backstage for him to come back. He was there within ten minutes.
"Hey you," he said, after he had closed and locked the door.
"Hey."
"How did the match look?"
"Looked good, you did well."
"Great, I wonder what Regan thought?"
"I don't know, you want to call your parent's and ask her?" Stephanie laughed.
"No, I just miss my little girl."
"She's only with them for a few days. Your parents love to see her every once in a while you know?"
"I know, but I still miss her. So what did you do while was gone?"
"Well, looked at baby furniture, we're going to have to start buying stuff."
"Sounds good to me."
"And I talked to Kurt."
"Oh yeah, he heard us fake arguing, I hope he doesn't get the wrong idea and--"
"I told him the truth," Stephanie interrupted.
"You did?"
"Yeah and he had a great idea."
"What?"
"He said that me and him should pretend to have something going on the side and then that would give you a way out and we could get rid of Trish sooner."
"How far would you go in this little roleplay?"
"Chris," she said, rolling her eyes, "We're not going to like actually be together."
"I know, I just don't know if I like you kissing Kurt."
"He's my best friend, nothing more, and if you've forgotten, I've kissed him before."
"Ok, I guess, just don't get into them."
"I won't."
"So I guess we just got a little sneakier."
"Oh, I'd say we have. Trish Stratus, watch out."
