Title: Still in Love

Chapter 13: This Can't Be Happening

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the idea of this story and the made up names.

Stephanie sat in the same spot in silence just staring and hoping that Hunter would make it. She was to into staring at Hunter to have even noticed her Father, Mother, and Shane looking in through the window. Also she didn't even see Hunter's parents, sister and brother-in-law standing next to her family. Little did she know they had been there the whole time to here what she said to Hunter.

"So, she still loves him?" Paul Sr. asked Vince and the other McMahons.

"I had no clue she did, did you Linda?" Vince asked his wife turning towards her.

"No, I haven't talked to Stephanie since she lied to Hunter." Linda answered as everyone turned their heads to look at Shane.

"Hey, don't look at me I didn't know anything." Shane said putting his hands up in defense.

"They were so happy together." Lynn said as she sat down.

"Maybe there is still hope for the two." Michael, Lynn's husband stated.

"What do you mean?" Vince asked concerned for his top wrestler's and his daughter's future life.

"I mean they could work things out." Michael said. "She is here now, isn't she?"

"They'll work things out for sure." Chris said walking up to the families with a cup of coffee.

"What makes you so sure Chris?" Linda asks sitting down next to Lynn.

"Because Hunter is still head over heels in love with Steph." Chris stated. "I've been trying to get the two back together."

"Well, we can only hope that Hunter makes it." Patricia cried into Paul Sr.'s chest.

Two Weeks Later

Stephanie sighs as she watches the doctor due his check up on Hunter. He still hasn't woken up from his coma and Stephanie has been by his side the whole time. The doctors even gave her a spare bed to sleep in just in case Hunter woke up in the middle of the night. Vince paid for a hotel for Hunter's parents and his sister and brother-in-law to stay in while Hunter was in his coma. Lynn and Michael had went and picked up the kids that they left at Michael's parents' house. Everyone had been in to see Hunter and talk to him. Stephanie finally spoke while the doctor wrote some things down.

"Doctor will he ever wake up?" Stephanie asked as a couple tears fell from her eyes.

"Ms. McMahon, at this moment we're not sure." The doctor answered her truthfully.

"Thanks doc." Steph replied as she bit her lip after the doctor left.

"He's doing a lot better though." The doctor said before completely walking out the room.

"Please wake up Hunter." Stephanie whispered when it was just the two of them in the room.

She sighed as she wiped her eyes as she left the room to go get a coffee. As Stephanie headed to the cafeteria she turned on her cell to see if she had any messages. She was shocked to see that she had five messages. As she checked them she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see Chyna.

"What do you want?" Steph asked not in the mood to deal with her.

"I just came to see if he was ok." Chyna stated worried.

"Why do you care now?" Steph asked. "You never cared before."

"Well, I came to realize that we grew apart and that I still care for him." Chyna answered. "I just need to know if he is going to be ok."

"He'll be fine." Stephanie stated as she stirred her coffee.

"Thanks, I'll be going now." Chyna said and then left.

Stephanie turned back around to get some cream when she felt another tap on her shoulder. She turned around expecting it to be Chyna, but when she was about to go off she realized it was her family and Hunter's family tapping her.

"Hi everyone." Steph gave a small smile.

"How is he doing?" Lynn asked as she held a sleeping Nayssa.

"He's doing well from what the doctors say." Stephanie sighed.

"Well, that's good." Vince said grabbing his own cup a coffee.

"I really hope he wakes up soon." Steph stated as she took a sip of her coffee.

"We all do Miss Stephanie." Peter said looking up at her and giving her a hug.

"Thanks Peter." Stephanie smiled returning the hug.

"Most people would have been gone by now Steph." Paul Sr. started. "Hunter's fighting it, because he knows he has something to live for."

"More like someone." Linda smiled at her daughter.

They talked there for a couple more minutes until Chris walked up to them. He greeted everyone with a smile and a how are you doing. Again they talked about Hunter making it. Then Stephanie remembered she had a run in with Chyna.

"Guess who stopped by?" Stephanie said as they all were heading back to Hunter's room.

"I don't know, who?" Chris asked first.

"Chyna stopped by." Stephanie said shaking her head.

"Why did she show up?" Patricia asked as she held Nayssa's hand while they walked.

"I don't like her." Nayssa said sticking her tongue out.

"Wasn't she the one who looked like a man?" Peter asked wondering.

"Peter!" Lynn scowled at Peter.

"Sorry mom, but she did." Peter said honestly.

"Peter, I always thought so too." Stephanie winked at him.

"Stephanie Marie McMahon!" Linda also scowled at Stephanie.

"Come on, you all can't tell me and Peter that Chyna didn't look one bit like a man." Stephanie stated and in return got laughs from everyone.

"She did have that manly looking face." Shane couldn't help but laugh.

"Ok, enough picking on Chyna, why did she show up?" Patricia asked calming down.

"She said she still cared and came to realize that they grew apart." Stephanie said turning a corner and seeing doctors running in and out of Hunter's room. "What's going on?"

"Are you Hunter's family?" A nurse asked coming out of the room.

"Yes, we are." Paul Sr. answered for everyone.

"They are taking him into surgery, he went into shock." The nurse said as they took Hunter out of his room.

Two Hours Later

Stephanie leaned against a wall as she waited impatiently for a doctor to come out and say Hunter would be ok. She kept folding and unfolding her arms. It wasn't just Stephanie who was impatient. Everyone was, but Stephanie was the worse.

"He's been back there for over two hours." Stephanie stated impatience in her voice. "Why won't a doctor come out?"

"Stephanie, everything is going to be all right." Lynn sighed as she leaned her head on Michael's shoulder.

"Stop worrying Steph." Vince said hugging Linda. "He's a fighter, he'll make it."

Ten minutes after that was said a doctor came out from the back. Just like the first time Stephanie ran up to the doctor. As she looked at him in the eyes she knew something was wrong. Stephanie started shaking her head no.

"No, he's alright." Stephanie shook. "Please tell me he is alright."

"I am very sorry Ms. McMahon, but we… lost him." The doctor said sadly feeling the pain for everyone especially Stephanie.

Shane immediately ran up to Stephanie and wrapped her in a hug as she cried her eyes out into his chest. She cried harder as she thought about their past. All the good times ran through her head. His laugh, smile, hair, sense of humor, his personality, and just everything about him. All of it was making her cry more. Why did he have to leave her? Why did she have to lose the love of her life? Those questions wouldn't stop funning through her head as she remembered everything about Hunter.

Chris sat there with his head in his hands crying and rocking himself. All he could think about was how he was to blame for this. He knew he couldn't kill himself for Hunter's death; he'd have to live with it. They had become very close, some would say maybe even closer then brothers during Hunter and Steph's devoice. As he cried he kept wishing that the doctor would come back out and say they made a mistake and say that Hunter was still living.

The rest of the family cried in each others arms. Lynn held onto Peter as Peter cried because of his favorite uncle dying. Michael held onto Nayssa as she cried uncontrollably, because she lost her favorite uncle and wrestler. Patricia and Paul Sr. cried over the fact that they lost their only son. Lynn cried because she lost her only brother that she had so much fun picking on. Michael cried because Hunter was like the brother he never had. Shane cried because he lost what he would call a good friend. Linda cried because Hunter was always a sweet man to everyone and herself. Now you would expect Vince to cry over the fact that he lost his top wrestler, but that wasn't the case. He actually cried over the fact that he lost pretty much a second son; Hunter and Vince were pretty close. All together the family cried over the fact that Stephanie lost more then them, she lost the love of her life.

That's it for this chapter. I know, it's sad, but I didn't know how to end it. I even cried writing it. I have one more chapter for you all and then an epilogue. Thanks for reading and please review.
