A/N: Hola amigos! ;P Thank you for the reviews, as always, they help out a lot!
The Next Week
Stephanie was forced by Chris to just not see Paul for the rest of the week, knowing that something would erupt immediately, so Trish was up for the challenge and let Stephanie stay at her place and room with her, which she had no problem with. Chris was initially worried, it felt like Paul was at every place he was, watching over him like a hawk, and the feeling would not leave.
"You all will not believe what happened last week." Paul started off to his Evolution buddies, Ric Flair and Dave Bautista. Randy Orton wouldn't be involved in the whole ordeal; he was a pretty close friend with Adam Copeland, ever since the storyline for the Intercontinental Title was set up between their two characters.
"What?" Ric asked, as he closed his magazine.
"Well, where's Randy? He needs to be here to hear this." Paul said with a smirk.
"I don't know." Dave replied. "But I bet he's off with Adam, like usual."
"Yeah, you're right, Dave. I swear ever since they have started talking about their match, they've been inseparable about wrestling." Ric chimed in.
"Whatever." Paul hissed. "The kid can be left out of this, I guess."
"Then what in the hell did you want to tell us?" Dave asked, getting a bit annoyed.
Paul glared at Dave, before starting. "You both know about Chris, and his obsession about Stephanie?" He paused, and then went on before they answered. "Well, last week, sometime after I got back to the hotel, Stephanie tells me that she's pregnant... Pregnant!"
"She's pregnant?" Ric laughed. "Nice one, Paul, I thought you had her taking that crap."
"I did, Ric. Seems like the little shit slipped through. So anyway, I gave Stephanie what she deserved for making a mistake, a nice right fist." He paused, grinning at that fact, and that Ric and Dave were laughing. "So, she left, I guess to go cry her heart out." He said in a mocking tone.
"Just like all women." Ric said.
"Yeah, so I go up on the balcony after changing and crap, and guess who I see with Steph?" Paul quizzed.
"I dunno, who?" Dave asked.
"Chris Irvine. The man actually had the nerves my wife."
"That kid? God, he's been obsessing about her since who knows when." Ric added in.
"Yeah, I gave him a verbal warning awhile back, but I know how daring he likes to be. I swear if he even does one thing to Stephanie, I will rip his head off and give it to one of those stupid fans."
"Have fun trying." Dave laughed as he got up. "Besides, where did Stephanie stay if she obviously wasn't with you?"
"Probably with Trish, I know how close those two are, so Steph would come running to her." Paul said while getting up and leaving the room.
Dave looked to Ric when Paul left. "But she did go in with Chris, right?"
"That's what I heard." Ric said as he opened up his magazine.
Meanwhile...Out in the halls.
"Hey Trish, how's she doing?"
"She's doing good, Chris." Trish said with a smile on her face. "I'm so happy you let me take care of her, I know what Paul would do if he figured out that she stayed with you."
"Yeah." Chris shuffled his feet. "I'd probably die at the hands of him, but I seriously don't give a shit. It's about Stephanie here, her care, and I just can't let her be treated like this by that bastard. It was just sick seeing her like that...Last week."
"I know, but there's nothing we can do about it right now, which sucks. She looks so much better, and she wanted me to tell you how thankful she was that you helped her out." She said.
Chris's eyes lightened up, and a smile appeared on his face. "Really?"
"Yeah!" Trish said with a chuckle. "You really, really like her, don't you?"
Chris smirked, nodding with confidence. The first time he wasn't nervous about communicating to someone how he felt about Stephanie McMahon.
Trish's smile grew even wider. "I hope that you can get with her, you seriously deserve it. And Paul, the man deserves to rot in hell."
"Definitely...And if I figure out he's done any other stuff to Stephanie...God himself will have to hold me back from killing him." Chris blurted out, and turned away, having one of the feelings of Paul being close.
Trish noticed this sudden movement. "You okay?"
"I'll be back." He said, going off in search down a hall.
Paul Levesque took the opportunity and dashed back to the Evolution locker room, muttering cuss words the whole way back. He wanted to snap Irvine in two right there, but now wasn't the time, or the place.
Later in the Night
All Evolution characters were either in the ring or waiting to come out in the Gorilla Position. It was in the middle of the Sixty-Minute Iron Man match between Chris Benoit and Triple H, and about 30 minutes through. Nick Dinsmore waited for his spot with security guards, all watching one of the TVs in the back, where his Eugene character would be coming out with 5 minutes left in the match to give a beat down from the week before.
Most of the people were in one large locker room, watching the match. Chris Irvine, Adam, Jay, Stephanie, and Trish were also in, with mostly everyone getting ready while watching the long match.
"Amen that we don't have to put the title back on Paul." One person spoke up, that being Matt Hardy. Everyone yelled an 'Amen!' in response to his comment.
Chris laughed as he patted Matt on the back. "You're right, maybe the creative team is making a smart decision for once."
"The creative team?" Jay laughed. "Don't you know that Paul is basically the creative team?"
"Well, then...Vince?" Chris asked in a sarcastic shocked tone.
"Probably." Stephanie spoke up for the first time since she came into the locker room.
