Chapter 6

A/N: Ok, I'm ready to throw in a twist...

Stephanie frowned at the replay of what had just happened out in the ring. The unscripted reformation of D-Generation X. The company's worst nightmare. And guess who had orchestrated the whole damn thing? Hunter. Just what the hell did Hunter think he was doing, not following the script, going out there and breaking rules left and right without even considering the repercussions?

"Daddy's gonna be calling me anytime now," she said with a sigh. "How am I going to make up a believable excuse for him now?"

As if on cue, her cell phone started ringing. She picked it up, not bothering to look at the Caller ID. "Yes, Daddy?" she asked tiredly.

"I remember those days when you used to call me Daddy," a familiar male voice drawled over the phone. "You remember that, too, huh?"

"X-Pac?" she asked incredulously. "How'd you get this number?"

"I have my sources," he said. "Why haven't you called me?"

"I'm a married woman... I was drunk that night..." Her voice trailed off as she remembered that first night they had shared. "It was an accident."

"Was it an accident the night after that?" he taunted. "Or the night after that?"

"No. But believe me when I tell you it's over," she said firmly. "You were one of his best friends."

"You killed my baby!" he accused, causing her to gasp.

"Shut up!" she demanded. "Just shut the hell up!"

"Don't you tell me to shut up when you killed my child!"

She sighed in defeat. "How do you know?" she whispered.

"Did you think I wouldn't fucking find out? That you aborted my child without even telling me you were pregnant?" His voice did nothing to hide his anger, his pain. "How could you?"

"The baby would've looked like you," she said meekly. "Hunter would've known. He would've known that I cheated on him...with you."

"Hunter? Oh, please! He's not so fucking innocent! If you only knew!"

"We were making a mistake, X-Pac. Please, just forget about it," she said in a low, earnest voice. "Don't be mad. I did what I had to do. I know you understand."

"Then you'll understand why I have to do what I'm going to do," he said in a calm voice. "Rather, what I'm already doing."

"What are you talking about?" she asked worriedly.

"You'll find out soon enough, Ice Princess," he said mysteriously. "But either way, somebody's going to pay for what you did to our baby... Will it be you? I haven't made that decision yet."

She shuddered. "X...Sean." She gripped her phone tightly.

"Why use my real name? I never meant a damn thing to you in the first place, Stephanie!" He sounded hurt and utterly inconsolable.

"I did care about you," she said. "I still do."

"I still care about you, too, but I'm so pissed at you right now! If you really cared about me then you wouldn't have gotten rid of our baby..." His voice cracked. "Our baby, Stephanie."

"I'm sorry," she whispered.

"You hurt me," he said in a husky voice. "You hurt me in a way that no one deserves to be hurt."

Silent tears rolled down her face, hot tears, as she listened to him trying not to cry. How the hell did he find out? she asked herself. Who the hell told him? I thought I covered every track... "How long have you known?" she asked softly.

"Since you got me fired," he said angrily. "I couldn't believe it. Daddy's Little Girl... I didn't think you were capable of being such an insensitive bitch."

"A bitch?" She cringed at his cold words.

"Yeah. First you take my job. Then you take my child, a part of me, a part of us." He let out a deep breath. "I think that classifies you as a bitch."

Maybe I deserved that. "I have to go, Sean." She hesitated, then went on. "And don't call me again."

"So it's like that, Ice Princess?" he asked, not sounding the least bit surprised.

"Damn right," she said, trying to get into "bitch" mode. "And that's Ice Bitch to you."

"Fine, Ice Bitch. Next time, I'll pay you a little visit. That sound good?"

"No," she said, starting to panic.

"Too damn bad," he said with a sinister laugh.

And then all she heard on the other end was a loud click, then silence.

"Oh God," she whispered to herself. All of a sudden, she had much bigger problems to worry about than Hunter's unscripted reformation of DX. "He knows," she said in a low voice, tears streaming down her face. "He knows..."

A/N: X-Pac and Steph? A twist I just couldn't resist! Did everyone see Steph on Raw last night? She looked great and she had this awesome badass attitude! "Who the hell do you think you are? This is our show!" LOL! Too bad she got stunned... Damn that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin! Did he have to stun Linda, too? And what was that, the so-called Stunner he did on Linda? A flop? Oh yeah, and Shane was actually looking good last night, too!
