A/N: I know the last chapter seemed kind of random, but I promise it will fit in somehow. I honestly haven't figured out how yet, but it will.

Chapter 27

Stephanie was sick of Paul's foul temper. He'd been like this for weeks and noone or nothing could change his mood. She was beginning to think that she should leave like Lorelei did.

"Steph, what's for dinner?" Paul asked sharply.

"I don't know. I didn't plan on being here. I'm leaving, so you can go find Lorelei. You need her, and I'm sure she needs you," Stephanie said. "I'm stepping out and letting you be happy, and your not.

"Stephanie, you need someone to stay with you until the baby is born," Paul protested unable to stop. He wanted to wish her well and make her go. Unfortunately, his baby was currently residing inside her.

"Paul, when I get to New York City Shane will be there, and my parents won't be that far away," Stephanie said. "I'll make sure someone calls you when I go into labor."

"Are you sure you're going to be okay? I mean the baby's going to be here soon," Paul said.

"Go find the woman you love and I'll be okay," Stephanie reassured.

"What if she doesn't want me back?" Paul asked.

"Then pull something out of your ass to win her back," Stephanie said. "She's already forgiven you when most women would have told you to go to hell."

"If you insist that you'll be okay, then I've got someone I need to find," Paul said. He was more excited than he tried to let in on.

"When you get back I'll have all my stuff out," Stephanie said. "Find her and make her see you changed."

"Thanks Steph. If you need anything let me know, and I'll see what you can do," Paul said. "Unless you need a place to say. Then call a hotel."

Stephanie laughed for a moment then went to the guest room to pack the rest of her things.

Paul went to his room to make the travel arrangements he needed. He decided to head for San Antonio tonight, if possible, and if he had to could look other places after Raw tomorrow night. He would hopefully see her there if nothing else.

Michael knew Paul would eventually be around looking for his wife. He wasn't sure what to do about it when he came. He didn't want to send the man to St. Louis, but his gut told him Lorelei wasn't going to do any better there than she had here.

He figured he'd cross that bridge when he came to it.

---------------

Lorelei was pretty excited when she got to St. Louis. It was like a brand new start for her, and aside from touring, she'd never gotten the opportunity to go there.

She knew somewhere inside her that Paul would eventually be around to find her, but she didn't think there was anything he could do to make things right. It wasn't like he had only given her a few days to calm down. She left three weeks ago, and he let her.

"Princess, did you get a chance to celebrate your birthday?" Randy asked. He knew that her birthday was a while ago, but he figured it might be worth it.

"No, Paul didn't even take me out to dinner," Lorelei said remembering the hurt she felt that day. Her husband hadn't even said happy birthday.

"Well, it's something we're going to have to fix. Lets go clubbing," Randy said.

"We have an early flight in the morning," Lorelei reminded him.

"Don't worry about it. Let someone else worry about it for once," Randy said. "Go get ready, I'm going to take you out."

Lorelei didn't really complain. She wanted to have the same carefree attitude that Randy had. She let her worries about work and everything go. She wanted to have fun, something she hadn't done in months.

---------------

Paul got off the plane and decided that he was going to see Mike tonight. He knew that it was probably dangerous to his health but he didn't care. He needed to at least see Lorelei. He wasn't going to do anything until Mike told him where she was.

"Hi, is Lorelei here?" Paul asked when Rebecca opened the door.

"I'll let Mike talk to you on this one," Rebecca said before calling him to the door.

Paul was reluctantly invited in before Mike told him that his wife wasn't here. Paul wasn't happy, but he was even less happy when Mike refused to tell him where his wife was saying something like if he loved her than he would do anything to find her even if he didn't help him. Paul had a few other places that he suspected his wife might be, but he didn't tell Mike that.

Paul took a deep breath thanked the man in front of him before going on his way. Paul drove to a hotel and considered going to St. Louis tonight, but decided against it. He would see Lorelei tomorrow on Raw and he could talk to her then.

--------------

Lorelei was having a lot of fun partying with Randy. She'd always turned down the girls invites to go with them. She decided that, that wasn't ever happening again. She knew that she should probably not drink, she remembered what happened with a little champagne, but decided that she needed it.

She wasn't sure how late she and Randy were out. After the first couple drinks she didn't care. She saw Randy drink some too, but not like she had.

She woke up the next morning at Randy's apartment then next morning and had to concentrate on why she was there. She remembered him coming to San Antonio and taking her back, then she remembered Randy taking her out to some local clubs. She didn't remember much after that, but she could only assume that Randy had kept her safe from whatever stupid things she might have done when she was drunk.

She tried to shake the cobwebs out of her head when she realized that she was in Randy's room, and he was no where to be found. She decided that right now she needed some aspirin and something to eat.

When she got up she noticed the time. "Fuck," she mumbled when she saw that there was no way they were going to make their flight.

She went into the living room and found Randy still sleeping on the couch. She couldn't help but to laugh when she saw his tall frame smashed on the couch. "Wake up, we need to find another flight," Lorelei said hoping it was loud enough to wake him up. She wasn't sure she could talk louder without giving herself more of a headache.

"Damn," Randy cursed. He felt like he had been ran over by something. "What did you say?"

"We need another flight," Lorelei repeated before seeing the snow on the ground.

"We can maybe still make it if our flight was delayed let me check," Randy said.
