Disclaimer: I do not own any of the wrestlers or companies mentioned in this story.
Stephanie sat crying in her brother's arms, his heart broke for her. She had been through so much and he hadn't realised exactly how much she had been through, but now he knew the truth about her and Hunter. Triple H. The Game. Wife Cheater. Wife Beater. It had been a couple of weeks since he had done a 'Steve Austin' and not shown up to any shows. Trish Stratus, on 'extended vacation', was the butt of all the rumours around the locker room along with Hunter. Now Shane's sister had confirmed the truth.
"Everything makes sense now…why you left your job and why you haven't been in touch. I'm so sorry Steph…I don't really know what to say."
Stephanie wept. "Just say that you won't tell Mom and Dad the truth. Tell me that you'll be there for me and Ella."
Shane looked down at Ella, fast asleep in her carry cot. It angered him that such a beautiful child would constantly link his sister to her former husband. He looked up at her and gave her a weak smile. She smiled back, her face was red and blotchy and black make-up ran down it in streaks.
"Of course I'll be here for you. I love you little sis."
There was a knock at the door and Stephanie almost jumped out of her skin. Hunter's abuse had left her paranoid, fearful and fragile.
Shane yelled. "Who is it?"
"Mr McMahon, your father has sent the contracts that you asked for."
"Thank you Robert. I'm with Stephanie at the moment. Will you please keep hold of them until the Raw briefing?"
"Yes sir."
Shane's attention turned back to his sister, who was shaking. He held her tightly and lovingly rubbed her back to try and calm her. He was a little confused when he felt her wince in pain. He looked down to see a large purple bruise at the base of her spine. He let go of their embrace and looked into her bloodshot eyes.
"Did he do that to you?"
Steph's eyes turned away from him to the floor…then to Ella. "No, this wasn't Hunter. It was…a…bump I took…which brings me to the other reason I'm here."
Shane was confused. "A bump…you mean a wrestling bump?"
"Yeah. When I told Dad that I wanted to leave the business, I only half wanted to. Part of me went missing the day I left here. But at the time, it was the only way I could get away from him…Hunter. I had to lose my link with the business so that he would lose his link with the business. He would have no reason to stay with me. Now everything has worked according to my plan. Hunter has left with one of the many women he was sleeping with, now Ella and I are safe."
Steph looked up to her brother as he put together the pieces in his head.
Steph continued. "Everyday I stay at home, Shane, and the door knocks…my first thought is 'it's him, he's back'. I live in fear of the door knocking and I'm starting to go mad. Two weeks is enough and I want out, I want to be with you…on the road again. I'm safe with you."
Shane nodded. "So what's going to happen? I could give your 50 share in the business…just like Dad always planned until you left. It's not easy being the owner of the WWE and living up to Dad's standards!"
Steph smiled and ran her fingers through his hair. "Poor little Shane, owning the largest wrestling company in the United States. Shane, I'd love to be your partner…or even if you didn't want to share the company with me I'd be happy with my old job back. But if I take back some power in the company, Hunter could come back and try and take the power for himself. We're not divorced yet either. Plus, I don't think my head can take anymore mental strain. I just wanna go back to my passion, you know? And wrestling is my passion. Being with Hunter has and will make me a strong person, physically and mentally. But at the moment, I only feel physically strong. Shane, I wanna be a wrestler. I want to train my ass off and surround myself with the fans. You know what it feels like to be out there, that's what I need. I need the fans to be by medicine."
Shane sat thinking. His sister was so right, she was strong and clever and beautiful. He laughed in his head…'brains…beauty…bitch!'
"Do you need me to contact anyone? OVW?"
Steph smiled. "I'm the queen of wrestling contacts. You remember that quite little training place in Tampa that Kevin Nash introduced to us. It's the last place Hunter would think of. I've got a flight booked for Florida tonight, it's in five hours. In fact I better be going."
She stood up and took a tissue. Shane helped her clear her face and gather her belongings together. Steph picked up her bag in one hand and the handle of Ella's cot in the other as Shane opened the door for her. Before they parted, Steph looked at her brother one last time, kissed him on the cheek and said:
"The sooner we get out of here the better. And the further away we are from Hunter and his Canadian ranch, the better."
Shane stood as he watched his sister walk the long corridor, accompanied by a security guard. Steph giggled and turned back to look at him one last time, with that toothy smile Shane liked so much.
She yelled down the corridor. "See you in a few months!"
He grinned. "Goodbye Scruff!"
"Goodbye Chubbs!"
