"But don't you regret not having a traditional wedding?" Tori asked Stephanie. "It just didn't happen that way"
And now.
Without Further adu.
Chapter 5 Part 1
"Hey, Vince I have an idea, that I think will make Stephanie very happy, but I need your help in doing it!" Hunter said as he greeted his parents-in-law, at their mansion.
"Oh yeah, what's that?" Vince said nicely.
Ever since the kidnapping with Stephanie Vince McMahon and Triple H have gotten along alot better, and even started to like each other. "Well, I overheard her talking to Tori, and she said that the one thing she's always wanted and was never able to have was a real wedding." Hunter said.
"Oh, vince, that is true, Stephanie would always pretend she was Cinderella going to the ball." Linda said.
"OK, then what are your ideas?" Vince asked.
"Well, I want to surprise her, but at the same time, it can't be the wedding of her dreams, unless she knows about it." Hunter said.
"I have an idea, why don't you have a double wedding with X-pac and Tori." Shane McMahon asked.
"Yeah, that would be lovley, and I've already overheard, that Stephanie was being way bossy when planning Tori's wedding, maybe we can just trick her into planning her own perfect wedding with her best friend." Linda said.
"You know what, that's a great idea!" Hunter said.
"But's it's in a few weeks, so we're going to have to hurry." Hunter said.
"You're right, don't worry, Hunter, I know the exact dress, that my daughter has wanted to wear her entire life, if she ever got married." Linda said.
"Great, and I will order more flowers for the church." Shane said.
"Good, I will pay for the reception, along with everything else." Vince said.
"You know what thanks guys, this really means alot to her...but hey, I'm going to go on over to Sean and Tori's and see what they think about it." Hunter said.
"Alright, come back, about 10:00pm, so we can finish planning." Linda said.
Hunter nodded his head, and walked out of the huge Mansion door.
X-Pac and Tori's hotel room "Did I tell you, how happy I am that I'm engaged to you?" Tori said as they laid on their bed.
"Did I tell you how happy I am that I'm engaged to you?" Sean asked, as they kissed.
Just then there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." X-Pac said as he ran to answer the door.
"What up man?" Hunter said as the door opened the door.
"Hunter, what are you doing here, come in, come in." Sean said.
"Hey I just go this great idea, I over heard Stephanie said that she has always wanted a real wedding, and that, it was something she's always wanted, so why don't we have a double wedding, with all of us, Steph, you me, and Tori!" Hunter said.
"Oh, that's a great idea, man you're a genious!" Hunter said.
"What do you think about that, babe?" X-pac asked Tori smiled.
"Alright, so we need to plan don't we?" X-Pac asked.
"No, see that's the great part, Vince and Linda are going to pay for the whole thing." Hunter said.
"Aww, man you have really outdone yourself this time." Sean said, as the two of them hugged.
"Alright, well, I have got to get back to Vince's, by 10:00pm, I'll seee you at Raw." Hunter said as he left.
"Isn't that a great idea?" Sean asked Tori.
"A great idea, Sean, I wish you would have asked me, before you decided for both of us, what to do about our wedding." Tori said.
"What do you mean?" Said X-pac.
"Don't get me wrong, I love Steph, and Hunter, but why is it, that we have to share OUR wedding with them?" Tori asked.
"Tori, they're are best friends, why are you trippin'? Sean said.
"Because...she stole it from me." Tori said.
"Stole what from you!" Sean asked.
"Ok, like when I was pregnant, I was stupid enough to have an abortion...but now she's pregnant, and everybody is like all over her, and happy for her, and buying her gifts and stuff...and now when I want to have a real wedding, the only thing that I can have, you just let her steal my spotlight, again?" Tori asked.
"Tori, she was kidnapped, for two weeks, her baby almost died, she never even had a real wedding." Sean said.
"And you know I'm really sorry for her, but come on, when do we just stop being 'Everybody's Best Friends', and start doing some things for ourselves." Tori said.
"Oh...ok, I get it." Sean said.
"Good." "Yeah,I get it...you're selfish." Sean said.
"What...no, Sean, you don't understand"
"No I understand, perfectly." Sean said moving her hand off his shoulder.
"Sean wait." Tori pleaded, where are you going?
"If you want those flowers for YOUR wedding by next month, I'd better hurry up, and buy them." Sean said as he left.
Tori sighed.
She didn't mean to be jealous of her best friend, she really didn't...but some how, she just couldn't help it.
Maybe she should postpone the wedding...maybe.
Royal Rumble 2000 At the pay per view , Triple H had a match against Cactus Jack for the title, and Stephanie had to admit, she was less than thrilled. The last time they fought, it was a The Royal Rumble, and though he won, Hunter looked like he had survived a war, and that was only about 2 months ago! Stephanie never wanted to see Hunter hurt like that again, especially since the baby would be due in 2 months.
But she knew that Hunter would never turn down a fight, and no matter how hard she wanted him not to, she knew she could not stop him from wrestling in the match.
Right before the match started, there was a knock on The Helmsley's lockeroom, door.
"I'll get it." Hunter said as he stood up from the leather couch and walked across the room to answer the door.
To his surprise, it was the police.
"Is there a problem, officer?" Hunter asked, as he let the police into the room.
"Umm, well, not a problem, Mr. and Mrs.Helmsley, but I think you're going to be very happy, when we tell you the good news." The officer said.
"What's that?" Stephanie asked, a bit nervous, as she came over to the door way.
"We've found out something, about Kurt Angle's body." The officer said.
"What?" both Stephanie and Hunter said at the same time.
"I'm very sorry to freak you guys out for 6 months, because we searched our records, and we dug up some things, and found out, that there was a mistake, in Angle's casket, we spelled his name wrong, puting his tombstone on the wrong grave, a grave, that was for a missing person that hasn't been seen, in 12 years, so his family decied to just have a funeral any ways, even if there was no body." The officer said.
Stephanie sighed, as she laid her head on Hunter chest.
"Thank God." Hunter muttered.
"But what about the teddy bear?" Stephanie asked, obviously still worried.
Stephanie looked into the old man's eyes, hoping he would give her an explanation, for that too, but he did not smile.
"I am sorry, mam' we were not able to solve that mystery." The police officer said.
Stephanie's face drained from all color, maybe it was true, maybe that bear was haunted.
Hunter held Stephanie tightly next to him, "Well, thatnk you anyway, officer." He said, as he opened the door, for the officer, who left the room.
After the police had left, he turned his attention, back to his wife.
"So they found the body." he said.
"But they still hadn't found they bear, or figured it why it keeps turning up." Stephanie said, angrily.
Hunter went over to where his wife was, and sat down beside, her.
"Babe, I'm ot going to lie to you, ok, I don't know how the bear got into our house after it had been in the grave, but as long as I'm here, I'll take are of you." he said, as he kissed Stephanie, she kissed him back, passionetly and didn't stop untill, she heard someone walk through the door.
"Alright, you two, save if for the hotel!" said Billy, as he and Dx came into the the lockeroom of Triple H and Stephanie. "Hey, H, you ready?"Roaddogg asked.
"For what?" Hunter said.
"Your match, stupid, and they call me dumb." laughed Billy.
"Oh yeah...I'd better go on and get ready, baby, I want you to stay backstage, ok?" he said.
Since Stephanie was pregnant, Hunter wasn't taking any chances.
"Alright, babe, uh...I will be right here, when you come back, be carefull!" she said, kissing him, on the lips, obviously afraid for him.
"Don't worry, I will, and when I defend my Undisputed Title, how about I take you out, anywhere, you want to go." Hunter said.
"Alright." Stephanie said. They kissed again, as she walked him to the door, and up to the curtain.
Her hands shook, she was so nervous for Triple H that he would get hurt, she could hardly stand it.
Hunter started to dominate the match, but as soon as he got any upper hand, Cactus Jack just took advantage of it.
Stephanie watched from the curtain, as Cactus Jack and Triple H squared off. As soon as Triple H getting the upper hand, Cactus pushed him back down.
Then, after 38 minutes of the match, Cactus Jack got out of the ring, and pulled out a bag of...thumbtacks! Thousands and thousands of thumbtacks!
Stephanie was already devasted at the fact that he was bleeding, but now this!
She had to stop it! Now!
After that, Stephanie ran out to the ring, before Cactus had a chance to use the thumbtacks.
She jumped on the apron, begging the referee to stop the match, because, it was a DQ, meaning that they could use chairs, belts, wepons, and unfortunetly thumtacks!
Cactus spreaded the thumtacks, all over the ring, to push her husband in them!
Triple H, at this point couldn't even see the thumtacks, untill he heard Stephanie scream "Hunter, turn around! Then Hunter put the pedigree, on Cactus, before he could use the thumtakcs. Stephanie smailed and clapped, she knew, that no one had ever kicked out of the pdeigree! 1...2...and he kicked out! Triple H was getting hopeless and so was Stephanie. "I can't beleive this is happening." muttered Stephanie. Cactus got up, and went over to Triple H and quickly got the pedigree on Cactus Jack for the 2nd time, on the thumtacks, Stephanie watched as Triple H pinned Cactus for the 2nd time in the middle of the of the ring, 1...2...3.
The match was over, and Triple H had won! His music blasted throuhg the ring.
Stephanie smiled and clapped, as she helped, Hunter out of the ring. But as she did Hunter fell down on to the floor, by the ring, he couldn't even walk.
"No, Hunter you have to get up!" Stephanie begged, as she sat by his side, Hunter's adrinaline stopped, when he realized that he had won, and his body finaly had time to worry about all the stuff he just did in the ring. "Somebody please, help me!" Stephanie cried, as the refferee, called for the paramedics to come to ringside. They put Hunter on stretcher, as she said held his hand, all the way up to the back area.
When they got backstage, the paramedics, basicly said that Hunter needed to go to the hospaital immediently, and that he might even need a blood tranfussion.
Stephanie cried at hearing the news, as they rushed him, to the ER.
12:30 pm Stephanie sat quietly next to Triple H's room, Dx had come by, and Billy, and X-pac had offered to drive Stephanie home,since she ha been there for 3 but she declined. Instead, she sat by her husband's hospital bed, as he lay asleep, while the hospital ran tests on him. Stephanie sighed, and sat back in the black leather chair, next to Hunter.
She tried to watch TV, but she jst couldn't keep up with what was going on.
"Get UP!" he mind screamed. "Please Get UP"
Stephanie whiped a tear from her purple eye lid.
"Please, don't be hurt...I need you"
Finaly he started to move. "Thank god, I thought you'd never get up." Stephanie said.
Hunter reached over to her, and looked at all the machines, and IVs he was hooked up to.
"Oh, god, I feel like I've been in a war." Hunter said. Stephanie looked down at Hunter's cut on his leg, it looked like it had been shot, and that was only the first of many cuts she looked, at the stitches, that had to be put in there and started to silently cry.
"Wait, whay are you cring baby?" he asked. He absoutely hated to see his wife cry, if he could do anything, to stop her from ever being upset he would do it.
"I just hate to see you hurt, you know that." she said.
Hunter looked at her troubled face.
"Come here." He said with his arms open.
"Oh, no, Hunter, I don't want to pull out any wires or hurt you." Stephanie said, eyeing all the tubes, and cords.
"You aren't going to hurt me." Hunter said, as Stephanie walked over and hugged him.
She hugged him hard and tight, and she felt her body against his. It was warm. It felt good. "God, I was so scared, I thought you were really hurt, bad...you almost gave me a heart attack." Stephanie said.
Hunter rubbed his hand against the top of her head. "I thought I was too, I can't beleive he brought out thumtacks." Hunter said, in a shocked voice. "He's crazy, Hunter he would have done anything...which brings me to my next point, I want you to promise me, that you will never fight Cactus Jack again." Stephanie said facing him.
"what?" Hunter asked.
"I don't ever want to see you hurt like this again, it would kill me." Stephanie protested as she held his hand and waited for him, to agree with her.
"Baby, I don't know if I can do that." Hunter said.
"What do you mean you don't think you can do it?" Stephanie asked, staring into his eyes tring to figure out what he was thinking about.
"I can't just turn down a fight, what kind of man would I be?" Hunter said, raisng up, to face his worried wife, as his starwberry blonde hair, swept down his shoulders.
"One that is alive!" Stephanie said sarcasticly.
"He didn't kill me, and I won, so what are you so mad about, what's got you so worried?" Hunter said, curious, to see his wife's answer, she had never been this afraid before in the past, after all she was the boss's daughter, she knew more than anybody, that you couldn't just 'skip' a fight, so what was up with her now?
Stephanie rolled her eyes, and started up at the celing, 'How am I supposed, to say this?' she thought, as she felt the baby move in her stomach... "I don't want to have the baby, without you here." She said in a sad voice.
"I'll be there." Hunter said, confindently.
"Not if you get hurt!" Stephanie protested.
"I'll be there." Hunter said sternly.
Stephanie smiled. "Promise?" She said. Hunter leaned over and kissed her passionetly. "Promise." he whispered.
"I love you so much." She said.
"I love you too baby."
Rock Springs Hotel gym 1 week later "Hunter are you sure, you're feeling better?" Stephanie said to her husband, as he worked out at the gym. "I'm alright...quit, worring, I've been out of the hospital for a week." he said, as he gently laid his hand on her chin.
"Hey..." Hunter started, as she pulled out 3 $100.00 bills, from his bill folder.
"Why don't you buy some lengerii to wear tonight." he whispered seductively in her ear.
She giggled. "Alright." she said taking the floded money, right before kissing him, and skipping off to the mall. Hunter smiled, he loved to see her happy.
"Alright, now, we have to figure out how we're going to do this wedding." Hunter said loudly, as X-pac came over to him.
"You're still in aren't you?" Hunter asked, as he locked eyes, with his unsure best friend's face.
"Oh...yeah, totaly...me and Tor, talked about it...it's cool." Sean lied.
"Alright, then I'm gong to call Linda and see if she found the dress." Hunter said.
"Yeah." X-pac said, as Hunter went to the phone.
"What am I going to do about this one?" Sean asked himself.
He decided that he had to call his fiance, and get this whole thing starightened out.
In Toranto, Canada
"Mom.." said the blonde girl sitting in the front seat, of the white SUV. "Yeah, hun?" Trish Stratus. "Mom, when are we going back home?" the child asked.
"I'm sorry, honey, we can't go back home, for a while." Trish said. " I'll tell you, those goons in the states, just do not understand us." Trish said.
Tiffany Stratus sighed, she knew her mother had done something, she just wan't sure what.
Robert Nicks, was the hitman, that was planned to kill Stephanie.
Just then, the cell phone rang.
trish picked up the cell phone as they drove through an intersection. 'Robert' the caller ID read.
"Who is it?" asked Tiffany.
"I don't know, it's an unknown name." she lied.
"Hello?" she said answering the phone.
"Trish, you can't leave me like this!" Robert cried franticly on the other end. "what am i supposed to do if the cops show, you didn't even leave me any money or the car!" he said.
"I think, you have the wrong number." Trish lied to her hitman cruely.
"Patricia, listen we had something real, are you just going to throw that away! You can't keep me from seeing my kid, Trish what are you thinking, please, come back and get me, we can work this out." Robert said.
"I'm sorry." Trish said, as she hung up the flip phone, and threw it out the window.
Tiffany was secretly, Trish's four year old daughter. She had never been married, but Robert was the father. That's whay he had been so earger, to force him to help her, but he goofed up and let her live.
So he had to pay.
Trish treated Robert horrible, despiting all the stuff she put him through. ANd now she's left hima again. Alone. Lost, and probably high.
"Mom, where we going?" Tiffany asked, her blonde hair floating in the air.
"Somewhere north baby." Trish answered.
Trish smiled. She had everything she wanted, she got away with attemted murder, she screwed with Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, she made her ex-boyfriend pay for what he had done, and she knew he would never tell,because he was the one who had actually kidnapped her.
"Oh yes, someplace nicer than here." Trish said again.
"Now, the only thing I have to worry about is Hunter." Trish said. Tiffany frowned and looked out the window she hated when her mother talked to herself.
"Now I mean he is my future husband, and all but I just wish I could see him again." she said.
"Where's your ring momma?" Tiffany asked, tring to annoy her mother, she always made up lies about her being with Triple H, even after all that has happened.
"Shut up!" Trish scolded Tiffany, who turned back around, and started out the window. The young sighed, she knew that this was going to be along trip. ANd she knew her mother was lying to her.
Things seemed to be going great for Trish, but what will happen, when she runs out of money, since she's not working for the WWF anymore?
The SUV roared throught the red stop light.
Would Trish ever be caught?
And what about the Velvet Teddy Bear?
Will Sean and Tori's wedding survive?
And what about Hunter's promise, would he be able to keep it?
