Hunter walked into the house and seen Stephanie laying on the couch watching t.v
"Tired" Hunter asked as he sat on the edge of the couch
" Yeah a litte" Stephanie smiled softly
" I guess your wondering who that guy was" Hunter said
" Yeah I guess" Stephanie said
" Well his name is Ruiz and he's been trying to get some of my territory so he can sell drugs he disappeared right before I met you and now he's back" Hunter sighed
" I don't want this baby to come while your in the middle of a war" Stephanie sat up and looked at him
" I'll do everything to make sure that doesn't happen and besides you'll be protected" Hunter said
" I' hungry" Stephanie said as Hunter laughed
he loved how she could change subjects at the drop of a hat
" I'll make you something" Hunter took her hand and led her to the kitchen
All the boys gathered at Shawn's place so they could be filled in on Ruiz
" So what do we do" Adam asked
" We wait" Dave sighed as bullets pelted the windows
'' Everyone on the floor'' Shawn yelled
Everyone ducked after a few minutes it was quiet they figured it was a drive by and Ruiz was trying to mess with there heads
" We got a problem" Adam said
" What'' Shawn asked
" Look" Adam pointed at the body of Brian Kendrick a young man who was just starting to work for Hunter
" Shit we need to call Hunter" Dave said as he took out his phone
Hunter was watching Stephanie as she ate when the phone rang
" Yeah" Hunter said
" We got a problem" Dave said
" What" Hunter said
" Some car just shot at us" Dave said
" Let me guess Ruiz" Hunter said
" Yeah but Brian died" Dave said
" Shit I"m on my way" Hunter hung up
Stephanie looked at him and said nothing
" Shane is on his way to stay with you'' Hunter said
" You know I'll be find by myself" Stephanie said
" Sadly as of right now your not safe" Hunter said as he slipped on his coat Shane walked through the door
"Dude I heard what happened" Shane said
" Well I need to go" Hunter rushed out the door
" What the hell happened" Stephanie asked
" The boys were shot at" Shane said
" Are they okay" Stephanie asked
'' No they lost one" Shane said
Stephanie didn't know what to say she knew this situation was serious
Hunter walked into Shawn's house and seen broken glass on the floor he also saw Brian laying dead in a pool of blood
" How the hell are we going to explain this" Shawn asked
" Throw him in the river" Hunter said to Adam and Randy
" Got it" Adam said as he and Randy picked up the body and took it out the door
'' We need to retaliate" Hunter said
'' How" Dave asked
" I don't know but right now I need you two to look after Stephanie" Hunter said
" All right" Shawn said
" I want this mess cleaned up before anyone goes home" Hunter said to all the boys as he walked out the door
Stephanie was staring out the front window when she heard a noise from the kitchen
" Shane" Stephanie yelled as she slowly walked to the kitchen
" He's tied up right now" a voice said from the corner
Stephanie looked at the corner of the living and seen Ruiz sitting in a chair smoking a cigar
" You better not have hurt him" Stephanie said
" Why would I hurt him he isn't worth anything to me" Ruiz said
" What the fuck are you doing here" Stephanie asked
" You should know that'' Ruiz walked over to her and rubbed her stomach
" Don't fucking touch me" Stephanie slapped his hand away
" Fiesty I like that" Ruiz laughed
" Will you just leave" Stephanie said
" So is that your brother" Ruiz asked ignoring Stephanie's comment
" That isn't your business" Stephanie said as she pushed him
" You wouldn't want to harm the baby" Ruiz laughed as he twisted her hand
" Let me go" Stephanie whimpered
" You know my hand still hurts from you stepping on it" Ruiz said
" Oh I'm sorry I"ll send a fucking get well card" Stephanie snapped
" You have way to much balls for a women who can be killed with a snap of of my fingers" Ruiz said as he heard a car in the drive way
" It was nice to finally talk you and we'll be seeing eachother soon" Ruiz kissed her hand as he walked out the backdoor
Stephanie ran in the kitchen to find Shane
Hunter walked through the house and noticed it was to quiet and dark for his liking
" Stephanie" Hunter yelled but he got no response back
He was getting scared as he walked through the kitchen and seen Stephanie on the floor with a bloody Shane in her lap
" Steph" Hunter touched her shoulder as she flinched back he could tell she was scared
" He won't wake up" Stephanie cried as she looked up at Hunter
" We need to get him to a hospital" Hunter said as he pulled Stephanie up
" Why won't he wake up Hunter" Stephanie asked through tears
" I don't know" Hunter took Shane's body and slung it over his shoulder as they quickly walked out the door
When they got to the hospital Shane was taken into surgery as Trish and Amy ran through the door
" Steph baby" Amy cried as she and Trish hugged Stephanie
" How is he" Trish asked
" They won't know until after the surgery" Stephanie said as she seen Dave and Shawn walk through the door with Jeff behind them. She payed no attention to Shawn or Dave while she hugged Jeff
" Did Ruiz do this" Shawn asked
" Who the hell else would do this" Hunter spat out
" What did he say to Stephanie" Dave asked
" She won't tell me" Hunter said
" Well at least she didn't get hurt" Shawn said
" Only because he can't and you know that" Hunter said
" What are we going to do" Dave asked
" I want his damn head on a platter" Hunter said as they sat down in the waiting room
Stephanie layed her head on Trish's shoulder as they waited for Shane's surgery to be over. After two hours the surgeon came out
" Ms.McMahon" The surgeon looked at her
" Yes doctor'' Stephanie stood up as all three girls held hands
'' The surgery went well we were able to stop the bleeding but he's in a coma" The doctor said
'' So what does that mean" Amy asked
" Well Shane should wake up but we just don't know when" The doctor said
" So it's a waiting game" Jeff said
" Wait you said he should be alright" Stephanie said
" Yes right now he should come out of it ok but with these situations anything could happen" The doctor said
" Thank you can I see him now" Stephanie asked
" Yes" the doctor pointed at the room Shane was in as he walked away
" Are you three coming" Stephanie asked
" You three go I'll stay with the guys" Jeff said as he watched them walk into the room
'' So he's going to be alright" a voice said from behind him
" It's a waiting game but if something happened to him Stephanie would be devastated" Jeff said
" I know" Hunter sighed
" Want happened anyway" Jeff asked
'' I'm still trying to figure that out" Hunter said
Later that night everyone decided to go home and get some sleep.Stephanie was sitting in the chair next to Shane while Hunter slept on the couch. She looked at her stomach and noticed it was getting bigger which she didn't mind.
'' You know I think the baby would be happy if his mommy took a few breaths and went to sleep" Hunter said as he looked over at her
" I thought you were asleep" Stephanie smirked
"No I'm enjoying the view of watching you stare at your stomach" Hunter said as Stephanie laughed
" I just noticed how big I was getting" Stephanie said
" Well your 5 months so your not going to be skinny through the whole pregnancy" Hunter chuckled
" Shut up" Stephanie stuck her tongue at him
" Come here" Hunter sat up as Stephanie got up and walked over to him as he gently pulled her into his lap
'' Yes how may I help you" Stephanie said as she snuggled into his chest and layed her head down on his shoulder
" You can start by relaxing" Hunter said as he rubbed her growing stomach
" I am relaxed now" Stephanie sighed comfortingly
