Lexi throws open the doors to the arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey with both Shawn and Paul following her. The bruises on her neck are still a nasty looking color but her voice has come back. Paul watches as she walks with a purpose, her hips swaying side to side. He smiles to himself as she turns the corner and pushes open the door to their locker room. She throws her bag down and turns to the two men who are watching her, amused.
"Something funny boys?" Lexi asks, placing her hands on her hips.
They shake their head no as Lexi sits down on the couch, crossing her legs. Paul sits down next to her, placing a hand on her bare lower thigh. She raises an eyebrow and places her hand on his. Shawn shakes his head as he sets his bag down, pulling out his DX shirt.
"We're up first people," Shawn announces, "I suggest you two go change."
Lexi shrugs and picks up her bag, walking into the bathroom. She emerges a couple minutes later wearing a green back less halter-top and a black mini shirt with knee high boots. Shawn whistles causing Paul to turn around.
"Wow," Paul states, pulling her into him, "looking sexy baby."
Paul kisses her hard, his hands on her bare back. Shawn clears his throat, pointing to the monitor.
"Lookie who's here," Shawn says, smiling, "if you two are finished making me sick, we better get out there."
Lexi smirks and follows Paul and Shawn to the gorilla area. Shane and Vince are talking about Summerslam when DX's music goes off and the three of them walk out, Paul's arm wrapped around Lexi.
"We're not here to rain on your parade," Shawn states, "actually, congratulations are in order, so as they say in the old country, Mazel Tov!"
"We're not Jewish," Paul says, "oy vai!"
"Withstanding the fact that we're not Jewish, there are a number of this to be celebrated tonight," Shawn continues, "the fact that we have a match at Summerslam and that it will be DX celebrating when it's over."
Lexi smirks as Shawn switches the topic to the new baby, looking up and Paul.
"It is my understanding that Triple H was in the very same hospital last week," Shawn exclaims, pointing to Paul, "it is also my understanding that one Triple H has acquired the entire McMahon family album, and there are some thing's I'd like to share with everyone."
The three turn to face the screen as Shawn continues.
"We have the very first photo of Vincent Kennedy McMahon," Shawn says, "you'll have to bare with us a bit, because they didn't have color way back then and Civil war era photos don't hold up to well."
A picture of a baby with Vince's head pops up on the screen and Lexi starts to laugh as Paul takes the mic.
"This was taken just before Vince started his first club," Paul smiles, "the Vince McMahon wipe my ass club!"
"Moving on, we have the first picture of one Shane Brandon McMahon as well," Shawn announces as a picture of a baby with Shane's head and a silver soon is shown, "he danced and swung his umbilical cord when he popped out of the womb!"
"The whole world wants to see Vince's new granddaughter," Paul says, "and we just happen to have the first public photo of her, lets see that shall we?"
A picture of a baby with Paul's head is shown, DX sprayed across the T-shirt.
"That is one hell of a good looking kid!" Paul exclaims as Lexi doubles over in laughter, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"She looks familiar, but I can't put my finger on it," Shawn states, leaning on Paul, thinking hard as Lexi tilts her head in thought.
"You guys are the babies!" Shane interrupts, "and it will be us who are changing DX's diapers at Summerslam!"
Lexi raises an eyebrow as Paul and Shawn shake their heads.
"That was a good one!" Paul states sarcastically, "but I have a bit of advice for your granddaughter. It covers her nutritional needs, because we have two words for ya…. SUCK IT!"
Paul drops the mic, but their music doesn't hit. Lexi looks around confused, shrugging as Paul looks over at her.
"That's the cue to hit our music production truck!" Paul states as Vince shakes his head.
"No, play my music instead," Vince argues as Paul scoffs.
"Don't listen to him, hit the button that says DX," Paul says as their music hits.
Paul smiles triumphly as the three do the crotch chops to the pyro and they head into the back. Lexi giggles as she wraps her arms around the shoulders of Shawn and Paul.
"That was so damn funny!" Lexi exclaims, "who did those photos?"
"Steph," Paul replies, "she wanted to get back at those two."
Lexi smiles and they head down to their locker room. She pushes open the door and sits on the bench, next to Shawn with Paul standing behind her. Paul places his hands on her shoulders, rubbing them softly. Lexi smiles and looks up at him.
"What happened to big bad 'I'm an asshole' Paul?" Lexi questions, raising an eyebrow.
"The same thing that happened to slutty, 'I'm the biggest bitch in the universe' Lexi," Paul shoots back, smirking.
"Fuck you," Lexi replies, narrowing her eyes, "I'm not a bitch."
Shawn scoffs and Lexi glares at him.
"Keep your mouth shut Michaels," Lexi warns as Paul laughs.
"See what I mean Shawn? B.I.T.C.H, bitch," Paul chuckles, earning a smack from her.
Paul leans down, going to kiss Lexi, but the door opens and Paul looks up to see two police officers walk in. Lexi stands up and Paul crosses his arms in front of him, eyeing the two men.
"Can we help you two?" Lexi asks, placing her hands on her hips.
"We have a warrant to check Triple H's bag," The taller one answers, holding up the piece of paper.
"Go ahead, I have nothing to hide," Paul states, motioning to his bag.
They unzip it and pull out some of his clothes and then they pull out a box of Cuban cigars.
"Those aren't mine," Paul defends, "I don't even smoke!"
"You'll need to come downtown with us and answer some questions," the other cop states, grabbing Paul's arm.
"You can't do that!" Lexi yells, as the two drag Paul out of the room, "stop!"
Lexi rushes after the men and Paul looks over his shoulder to Lexi. Paul stops as they pass Vince and Shane and he nods.
"You'll get yours," Paul warns as the men pull Paul away from the McMahon's.
Lexi follows them out to the garage where they shove Paul into the back of a waiting cop car. Lexi places her hands on the window as Paul looks up at her.
"I'll get you out," Lexi promises, "don't worry."
Paul nods as the car drives away. Lexi watches as it disappears around the corner and Shawn wraps an arm around her shoulders.
"Come on doll, we have a match to get ready for," Shawn says, leading her back into the arena.
They pass Shane and Vince who have a smug look on their faces. Lexi pulls away from Shawn and shoves Shane against the wall.
"You did it!" Lexi screams, shoving him again before Shawn grabs her, pulling her away from Shane, "you planted the cigars!"
"Life's a bitch isn't?" Shane smirks, stepping into his room, shutting the door in her face.
Lexi growls and Shawn drags her down to their locker room.
"What are we going to do?!" Lexi exclaims, flopping down on the bench, placing her head in her hands, "we're screwed."
"We'll do what we do best," Shawn answers, sitting next to her, "fight."
!!!!!!!LATER……SHAWNS MATCH!!!!!!!!!
DX's music hits and Lexi and Shawn come out to the deafening sound of cheers. Shawn bounces around the ring and Lexi slides out as Umaga's music hits. Shawn hits him with some chops before Umaga grabs him and goes to slam Shawn, but he slides out of it, hitting Umaga with right hands. Shawn goes for a sunset flip, but Umaga is too large, and he goes for a butt splash, but Shawn moves and hits a low dropkick for the two count. Shawn slides to the outside and Lexi walks over to him, pointing to the ramp where the two McMahon men are strutting down it.Paul watches from the cell he's been placed in as Raw comes back from commercial. He watches as Umaga finally gets the upper hand, smashing Shawn's head off the announcer's table and Umaga throws Shawn back into the ring. The camera's cut to a view of Lexi who's trying to cheer Shawn on, glancing at the McMahon's who are on the opposite side of the ring.
"Please Lex, stay out of that damn ring," Paul hisses as Armando jumps up on the apron, distracting Shawn.
Shawn moves as Umaga comes rushing at him, knocking over Estrada instead. Umaga hits Shawn with a Samoan drop and goes to check on Armando. He turns over the steps and Lexi scrambles away as he rips apart the announcers table. Vince jumps up on the apron, distracting the ref as Umaga gets back into the ring, allowing Shawn to hit a low blow on the big man.
Shawn heads up to the top rope, nailing a flying elbow. Shawn stands up and starts to tune up the band, but as he goes to connect with the Sweet Chin Music, Vince grabs Shawn's ankle. Lexi storms over to Vince, nailing him with a right hand, as Shawn hits Shane with a flying forearm. Lexi looks up as Umaga comes from behind, hitting the Samoan spike on Shawn and covering him for the win.
Lexi slides into the ring and checks on Shawn, but suddenly she's pulled away by Vince as Shane attacks Shawn. Paul watches as Lexi kicks Vince's leg and she runs at Shane, knocking him down, hitting him with right hands. Paul watches as Vince pulls off his belt, standing behind Lexi, bringing the belt down on her bare back. The sound of leather to skin bounces off the arena and Lexi lets out a scream in pain, sliding off Shane. Shane holds her as Vince continues to hit her with the belt, blood now trickling down her back. Shane shoves her down to the mat as the work on Shawn.
"Alright sir, you're free to go," the cop states, bringing Paul's attention from the TV to him, "there's a cab waiting for you. A Ms. Stephanie McMahon paid your bail."
Paul jogs out of the building and slides into the waiting cab, that speeds back to the arena. Paul pushes open the doors to the arena as he runs down the hall. John sees him and grabs his arm, stopping the bigger man.
"It's over," John says, "they're in the trainers office."
Paul rushes down to the trainers room and can hear Lexi yelp in pain. He pushes open the door to see Lexi, face down, on one table and Shawn, face up on the other. The trainer looks up and shake his head.
"Vince really let her have it," He states, motioning for Paul to come closer, "these marks might not go away."
Paul looks down at Lexi's bare back that's covered in long black and blue marks. He looks over at Shawn who's watching the trainer work on Lexi. Shawn has stitches on his forehead and Paul shakes his head. Lexi looks up and he can see the pain in her eyes. He pulls up a chair and grabs her hand.
"I'm so damn sorry Lex. I should've been here," Paul states as Shawn slides off the table to stand next to Lexi's table.
"Don't blame yourself bud," Shawn answers, "there was nothing you could do. They had this all planned out."
The trainer finishes up and clears Lexi to leave. Paul helps her up and Lexi smiles at him. The three head back to their locker room, gathering their things, and soon leaving. Lexi gingerly leans back against the front seat as Shawn slides in the drivers seat, taking off for the hotel. They arrive and head up to their connecting rooms, Lexi and Paul in one, Shawn and John in the other. Lexi slowly and carefully changes into a pair of net shorts and training bra, slipping out of the room when Paul's in Shawn's room, talking to him. She heads down to the gym that's now empty. She wraps her hands and wrists before heading over to the punching bag. She starts to pummel it, taking out her aggression on the bag. She never hears the door open and John enter the room. He watches as she kicks and punches the bag hard, seeing the tears in her eyes.
"Lex?" John calls out, causing Lexi to whirl around, "you ok girl?"
"I'm fine," Lexi states, out of breath, plopping down on a bench, wiping away the tears.
"No, I don't think you're ok," John counters, sitting next to her, "wanna tell me whats up?"
"It's this whole McMahon thing," Lexi admits, looking down at her red, raw knuckles, "nothing good is going to come out of this, I know it."
"You don't think that Paul and Shawn can take those two?" John questions, raising an eyebrow, "because if that's it, they can make those to wish they never messed with the three of you."
"It's not that," Lexi sighs, looking up at John, "it's what Shane knows that can ruin this. Ruin my new relationship with Paul and even Shawn."
"Lex, you can tell me," John presses, "I won't tell either Paul or Shawn."
Lexi takes a deep breath, looking back down at her hands. John hooks a finger under her chin, forcing her eyes to meet his.
"Lexi, please," John says softly, "you can trust me."
Lexi nods and fights back the tears.
"When Paul fired me, I was so lost," Lexi begins, "so I did something I shouldn't have. I slept with Shane."
John's eyes go wide and he drops his hand. Lexi takes a shaky breath before continuing.
"I felt so bad about it. I became depressed and started drinking a lot," Lexi states, in almost a whisper.
"Aw Lex, it's ok baby girl," John comforts, pulling her into a hug, but she pushes away.
"That's only one part to the story," Lexi says, avoiding John's eyes, "I was pregnant."
"Wait…was pregnant?" John questions.
"I lost it John," Lexi answers, "I told Shane and he freaked. He called me a liar and we got in a fight which ended up with him pushing me down the stairs."
John sits there stunned and Lexi grabs his hand.
"But it wasn't Shane's….it was Paul's."
