Hi guys! I really hope you like this chapter, I've been thinking about how to write this one for a while! It's a bit long but I really loved writing it. There's a special bitin there for all you Jericho-Steph pairing fans. Thanks for all your reviews, I really appreciate them. Expect another update in a couple of days. Oh and don't forget to tell me where you think the story should go, which pairing is your favourite? Batista? Jericho? HHH! Or maybe even someone else?
The usual disclaimer applies.
'Is this some sort of joke? I'm a 30 year old single mother turned hooker!'
Seriously…what were the costume department thinking? Steph was wearing black lycra hotpants and black lycra sports top that looked more like a boob tube. Steph stood awkwardly in front of the mirror trying to cover her midriff with her arms.
'Thank God those silver wrestling boots didn't fit and I get to wear my own!'
Steph was almost ready for her Raw debut. Her hair and make-up had been done, it was pretty much the same as when she had arrived. Her hair was slicked back in a high plait and the only extreme make-up she had on was smoky black eye shadow. She looked very sexy, even though she hated the clothes. Steph jumped as there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Her voice was squeaky with nerves.
"It's Chris." Jericho said.
Jericho opened the door and Steph stood awkwardly waiting for his reaction. Jericho giggled, it made her smile.
"Is it that bad?" She asked.
"No, you look great! It's a little bit more revealing than I expected."
She smiled at him and walked over to give him a hug. "Well thank you."
A high-pitched scream broke up the hug, the pair turned to Ella who was in her cot, being watched over by Christy Hemme.
Christy's grin was as big as her forehead. "Awww aren't you cute ickle boo boo!"
Jericho gave Steph the 'oh my god are you crazy?' look and Steph just shrugged back.
"What can I say, she's a cheap babysitter."
From behind the door Stacy Keibler appeared. She was wearing a baby tee with 'I'm a bad bad girl' written on it and hotpants.
"Come on Steph. Fifteen minutes, let's go warm up together."
"Ok I'll be right there."
As Stacy skipped off down the corridor Stephanie began to get butterflies in her stomach. Jericho looked a little concerned. He took her arm and pulled her to him and swamped her in his biceps. Stephanie could not escape him and hugged him back.
He started whispering in her ear. "Hey, don't worry babe. It's not like it's your first time out there. The crowd are gonna go nuts when they see you, they won't give a crap whether things go right or wrong. Whatever happens, it's only a five minute spot, your family are going to be waiting right here for you. And not just Ella and Shane, but your WWE family will be here for you."
Christy couldn't help overhearing his words and butt in. "We're always here for each other, you gotta be in such a ruthless business."
Steph's nerves calmed at their words and she mentally started to psych herself up. "I'm off guys, I'll see you after."
Chris let go of her, but was shocked when Steph didn't let go of him. Instead she pulled him towards her and gently kissed him on the cheek. She looked into his eyes, their faces were an inch apart. Chris started to feel strangely, was it lust?
"Thank you." She whispered as she let go of him and exited through the doors.
Chris let out a huge sigh after she left. His heart was racing from their close encounter and he had been strangely aroused by her. He felt like he'd just left a strip club!
'It's just lust, that's all. You know you love you wife!' he reassured himself in his head.
He turned to Christy who had her head tilted to the side and was staring at him, still shocked by what she had seen between Chris and Steph.
"What!"
Raw cut back in after the adverts to JR and Jerry Lawler.
"Welcome back everyone to Monday Night Raw," JR began with. "We're going to take you back to two weeks ago on Raw when a match between Victoria and Women's Champion Stacy Keibler turned a bit nasty."
"Oh yeah I remember JR, it was like Stacy snapped all of a sudden."
They showed a flashback to Raw two weeks ago, Stacy had just used her finisher on Victoria, a spinning back head kick. Stacy went for the pin but Victoria kicked out. Stacy looked slightly frustrated, she pulled Victoria up to her feet, then kicked her in the stomach so that Victoria was doubled over, then Stacy axe kicked Victoria to the back of her head. It sent Victoria face first into the mat. Stacy smirked then casually lied down on top of Victoria for the pin…1-2-…Victoria kicked out. The crowd was going crazy for Victoria. Then all of a sudden Stacy screamed with frustration. She grabbed the referee and threw him out of the ring. Then she went outside the ring and brought a chair back in with her. Victoria gradually made her way to standing, only to be hit in the head with a chair by Stacy. Victoria was unconscious. Stacy started screaming as she slammed the chair repeatedly into Victoria's 'bad' knee, which was in a brace. Victoria was crying in pain. Eventually referees ran down and pulled Stacy back. The camera focuses on Stacy as she grins on the ramp looking back at Victoria.
"Yeah that's right Victoria," Stacy said, "You shouldn't mess with this bad girl!"
Then the Titantron flashed back to Raw a week ago…Christy is in the middle of the ring talking.
"Now last week everyone saw what Stacy Keibler did to Victoria. It made me sick! Who does that little backstage slut think she is! She may be the Woman's champion but at Wrestlemania I'm going to…"
WHAM! Stacy appeared from the crowd and hit Christy with her spinning back kick to the back of her head. Christy held her head in pain and Stacy climbed onto her and strangled her. Stacy left the ring and grabbed a chair as Christy crawled around the ring coughing. Christy was on all fours as Stacy delivered a chair shot to her back. Christy went to the floor and didn't move. As the fans started booing Stacy she gave them a 'whatever' look. She threw the chair to the side then lifted up Christy's face and started yelling at her.
"You think you're so bad, huh? Talking all that smack about me! Well guess what bitch, there's only one bad girl and only one Women's Title…so get over it babe!"
The cameras go back to Raw and Stacy is already in the middle of the ring.
'The King' speaks. "Oh baby! I love it when Stacy's out here! Look at those legs JR and ooohh, look at her shirt! She can be my bad girl any day!"
"Shhh King! Let's see if Stacy's going to explain her actions for the last couple of weeks."
Stacy stands in the centre of the ring with a microphone. "Now as you all know Wrestlemania is just around the corner. We've got Batista and Edge for the title…John Cena, Big Show and Booker T for the title…oh and don't forget Kane vs. Undertaker!"
Stacy pauses as the fans get hyped up over Wrestlemania.
"Wrestlemania is going to be a great one this year, King!" JR said.
Stacy continues. "But in the busy Wrestlemania schedule, with all these big talked about matches, I guess there's not going to be enough time for me to wrestle. And even if there was time, who would I face? I hear Victoria is having knee surgery. Oh and Christy, isn't she having a few back problems? It must be so hard for them when you're left without your best assests. I mean, how are these girls gonna earn there money when they can't get down on their knees or lie on their backs!"
The King is shocked. "Whoa! Those are some low words from the Woman's Champion."
"As for me, well, I make sure I pay lots of attention to my best assests."
Stacy starts to run her fingers down the side of her leg. The male fans start to cheer. She looks to the audience and gives them a disgusted look.
"Of course, I'm a decent girl with her own backstage locker room…I don't need a bunch of Chicago freaks drooling over me when I get ready or cool down from wrestling."
The fans start to boo and she gives out a really bad fake laugh.
"Well back to my point, I'm here tonight to ask my boss, Mr McMahon, if I could have the night off. You see for Wrestlemania I'm not going to parade around to please the fans. I'm the Woman's Champion, I have some self respect! But also, there's no-one for me to defend my title to…so I guess there's nothing else I can do. Mr McMahon, could you come out here please? At some point tonight you know, we haven't got all day."
Stacy folds her arms and taps her toes waiting for Shane. JR and King speak.
"The audacity of this young woman, King! Just because she's the Woman's Champion, she thinks she owns the place. And she would've had a fight at Wrestlemania if it wasn't for those chair shots!"
"Stacy not at Wrestlemania, that can't be good! Shane would never deprive us of those legs, who he?"
"I'm all grown up now" hits through the speaks in the arena and for a split second everyone looks confused. All of a sudden clips of Stephanie McMahon start playing on the Titantron and the fans start going wild. Stephanie walks out in a black skirt, white shirt, black suit jacket and glasses. The fans start chanting 'Steph' as she smiles and walks around at the top of the ramp. Stacy looks angrily at her. The music fades out and Stephanie goes to speak on the microphone.
Stephanie's face is beaming as she speaks. "Hi Stacy! Bet you weren't expecting to see me here, huh?"
Stacy is almost shouting at her. "Stephanie, what are you doing here? Are you here to deliver a message from Shane? Cause I was kinda hoping he wouldn't be a coward and would deliever it to my face!"
"Well, you're right Stacy. I am here to deliever a message to you. It's bad news I'm afraid. You see, at Wrestlemania you won't be getting the night off, in fact, you're going to have a match."
Stacy starts walking around the ring in a circle going crazy, then she grabs and the ring ropes and starts throwing a hissy fit. Stephanie just keeps the serious look on her face, trying not to laugh at the sight of Stacy's acting. Stacy finally starts to calm down.
"Look Steph, I took everyone out. There isn't anyone to fight at Wrestlemania. Who in the hell is my opponent going to be?"
The fans start to cheer as they predict what's going to happen. Steph pauses and smiles at her from the top of the ring. Then she slowly takes off her jacket and shirt revealing her wrestling gear. The fans, JR, the King, even the wrestlers backstage can barely believe what's happening. Triple H, sat at home watching Raw from Canada, is left gob smacked by the sight of his wife. Steph takes off her glasses and rips off her skirt, held on by Velcro and shows the crowd her hotpants…she hears a few male fans wolf whistle and tries not to blush. She keeps her serious gaze on Stacy the whole time, slowly raises the mic to her lips and says…
"Me."
Steph drops the mic and runs down to the ring and slids in. She and Stacy start trading blows. Eventually Steph's seem to have more impact as she backs Stacy to the corner. She kicks Stacy in the stomach then launches her to the other turnbuckle. Steph runs and hits Stacy with a clothesline. Stacy keeps getting up and knocked down by clotheslines. The fans are going nuts. Eventually Stacy stays down and Stephanie wonders round the ring waving her hands in the air to get the crowd behind her. She grabs Stacy's hair and picks her up. Everyone is stunned when Steph picks up Stacy, holds her vertically above her, then suplexes her. Stephanie drags her to the corner and positions, then climbs the turnbuckle.
'Oh God Steph, don't mess this one up' she thinks to herself.
She gets on the top turnbuckle, pauses for a second, then does a perfect 450 splash onto Stacy. Steph's whole body was filled with relief as she pulled the move off. The fans start to chant her name. Dave watches her from behind the curtains, his heart melting for her. He was really proud of what she had achieved, not only physically…but mentally.
Steph grabbed Stacy's old mic and bent over the unconscious Stacy. "Oh yeah Stacy, I forgot to mention something. I checked with my brother, he said that in 13 days time, at Wrestlemania, it's a chair match for the Woman's Title. You need to start getting ready Stace, because you may be bad…but I'm a McMahon!"
Steph dropped the mic and rolled out of the ring, walking backwards and watching Stacy, grinning from ear to ear. Her head was playing her music, but all she could hear were the fans chanting her name.
The commercial break cut in.
