Season 4 Episode 8 Always up to something

Miami, Fl

Kelly watches as Stephanie plays with her son. Connor Barron McMahon, yeah the name was not chosen by her. But it was very...rich sounding. Stephanie had spent the holidays in Miami with Shane and had Hunter visit from time to time. She didn't intend on staying with them as long as she did, but Stephanie couldn't resist she had fallen in love with her Nephew.

"So, Kelly...what are you doing today-"

"Pumping my tits." Kelly says. "Where is Shane?"

"Not sure, he left early this morning." Stephanie says glancing at the blonde across room as she sat on the sofa. Her body had shrink back down to size. Man I hope when I have kids it will be that easy. She turns her attention back to Connor. His face resembled Kelly's and his dark brown hair was complements of Shane. In this moment Stephanie thoughts went to Bret, and then to Hunter.

"What are you thinking about?" Kelly asks, wanting to break the slince in the room.

"N-nothing just...nothing." Stephanie says. "I'm going o take a nap, mind if he comes with me?"

Kelly gives Stephanie a weak smile. "Sure." As Stephanie left, the doorbell rang and Kelly hops to her feet. "It's cool Lee I can get the door." Kelly says excusing the maid. It was all so weird to her, maids, cooks, cleaning people, nannies. It was just too many people in the damn house. Her blue eyes lands on a guy with colorful hair, good looking and tall. "Can I help you?"

"Is Shane here?" His southern drawl made Kelly feel a certain way. "I'm Jeff by the way."

"No he inst'."

"Well you tell him I stopped by and I'll be in Miami only a few more days. He has my number."

Kelly was not liking the vibe of this guy. "Yeah, sure I will."

"Oh and your even more beautiful in person."

Kelly wasn't flattered at all, but not the one to be rude she gives the guy a weak smile. "Thank you I'll tell him you stopped by." Closing the door, Kelly dialed Shane, It wasn't like him not to call.

Brooke walks into the room of the McMahon estate to see her father drinking at 11 am. It was below 0 outside but it felt colder inside the 8 bedroom home. She had overheard everything meaning she already knew too much. Linda, was distance, Stephanie and Shane were not talking to him. For the Holidays it was just her and him.

"You okay?"

"I haven't seen my grandson in person yet so no, I am not."

Brooke smiles. "Well, is there anything that I can do? I mean I am your daughter too."

Vince sighs and places his drink on the oak wood stand. "No, not at the moment."

"Well, I was wondering if I could offer my help anyway. I know you have a new project your working and I'd like to be behind that. Working with Ashley."

"I don't think that's a good idea, she hasn't event gotten cast yet-"

"Actually she has, as a matter of fact I have some great ideas for the diva roster-"

"I think you are getting ahead of yourself Brooke-"

"Stephanie is gone and Shane is not talking to you. Who knows if he's going to return to Raw. In creative I will take the company to another level with amazing story lines. Trust me."

Vince sighs. "You can go work with Ashley but as far as creative we'll see. I just can't have you be put into a position because your my daughter."

"Please, this is America. That's "just because" always works."

Miami, Fl

Layla had come to terms that Randy and her were on a break. Alicia had given her distance through it all and to be honest she understood why. It was just her, and her condo. The British sighs rolling out the bed. The Holidays were weird without seeing him and it was even weirder now that most people were talking shit backstage. It was quite sad, she spent New Years alone watching the ball drop with butter pecan ice cream. The knock on the door drew the female out of her slop of daydream. Opening the door, her heart doped. It was Randy. He had let is bread outgrow again and his shaven head now was full of hair. Layla eyes roam down his fitted gray shirt black jeans and boots.

"Are you going to let me in?"

Layla looks at him crossing his arms. "No form of contact for almost a month and this is how it is Randy. No Fuck you-"

"I believe if you didn't fuck around me behind my back we wouldn't be here."

"So your listing to rumors?" She says.

"I came here to see can you either confirm or deny it?" Randy says finally pushing his way through the condo and taking a seat on the sofa. He tosses his keys on the usual spot the kitchen island and stares at her. "So...let's talk."

Jacksonville, Fl

Candice sighs she was writing down in her notebook. She then sighs and looks at Jr. who was watching her contently. "Let go see daddy."

Walking into her husband's office, Jonathan was on the phone and obviously talking to a Realtor.

"Yes, I will talk with my wife about it but the home is amazing. I wouldn't mind staying or just having a house in Houston...yeah...okay bye." Jonathan turns around to see his wife and youngest child. "How long you been standing there?"

"Long enough to know that your looking to buy a house in Houston, that you never ever old me about."

"Well...I-"

"Don't flash your dimples at me." Candice says handing the baby to him. "I want to talk to you about my make up line-"

"Cool, how much you want me to invest-"

"No, I found a way. Wrestlers wives-"

Jonathan makes a face. "...No-"

"Don't tell me no." Candice spats. "Listen it's great your the bread winner no trying to take that away. But Jonathan this make up line is for me. And to be honest I want to do this on my own, of course I will have your help and your support but babe like you have investments and etc I want to have my make up line."

Jonathan leans back into the chair. "I never want to hold you back, Candice I'll support you 110 percent. But babe you don't have to work if you don't want too. You know that."

Candice. "I do, you made that clear in front of 500 guest and whoever read wwe magazine. But this year I want to do more than be a housewife. I want a brand."

Jonathan rolls his eyes. "Camera are going to be everywhere. Let me think about it."

Candice. "What's there to think about-"

"Babe your not doing what out marriage people told us. We are suppose to talk-"

Candice leaves the room before even hearing what Jonathan was saying. He looks down at his son. "You think I screwed up?" Jonathan Jr just laughs at his dad as only a baby would. "Well since your not old enough for drinks come with me to the dealership. Gotta get the oil change...come on buddy."

Miami, Fl

Shane walks into the three story Miami Estate. He adjusts his shirt and closes the door behind him.

"Mr. Shane, welcome back home."

Shane smiles. "Hey, where's my family?"

"Ms Kelly is here and Ms. Stephanie and baby Barron are out."

Shane looks down at his Cartier watch. "It's almost time for his nap."

Kelly then walking towards her baby's father with her arms cross. "Who's Jeff?"

Shane attempts to walk towards Kelly. "Who?"

"Jeff, he came by. And don't lie to me because he knew who I was." Kelly says placing her hands on her hips.

"He's an old friend."

"He's a sleez ball. Shane I am serious-"

Shane walks away. "I am not arguing with you tonight Kelly." Which was something they've been doing since the Holidays. After Kelly had the Barron, Shane went back to work but he's been off work since Thanksgiving. It was now January and he wanted nothing more but to go back to work to get away from Kelly. "Let me know when my son comes back, I'll be in my office. Don't interrupt me until then."

Melinda removes strands of red hair from her face. After taken a slight nap with both Kylie and Dj, Melinda heard talking and laughing from downstairs along with her dad's fried chicken. Before the former 7 time women's champion could get up from the bed, her older brother opens the door.

"You still don't know how to knock Micheal?"

He flashes his smile. "You have a package down stairs."

"Bring it up goof troop-"

"I can but it would be weird for both me and you. It's 6'4 around 267 pounds. And it resembles that little boy right there on your left."

Melinda sighs pulling her hair into a bun and heading downstairs. She'd been separated from Kevin, not really officially ending things, just avoiding him. The red head made it downstairs and her eyes connected with her estrange husband.

"Hey."

"Hey, can we talk?" He asks.

Melinda smirks. "You already here. Come out to the back."

"You should for dinner Danny, Ill grab more plates-"

"Oh well I wasn-"

"Now Daniel you know that wasn't a question for to answer yes or no too." Shawn says smiling helping his mother in the kitchen. "Run along you two."

Both Melinda and Daniel headed to the back yard deck. It wasn't as chilly outside as it had been for the past few weeks, but seriously she needed to get back for Florida 80 degree weather. "So what's up?"

"I came here to ask where the hell we stand. Melinda I made a mistake. I am paying for it everyday."

Melinda's eyes began to water due to the fact the Daniel was still fighting for her. She was such a spoil brat and she knew it. "I am such a horrible person. Why are you doing this-"

"Because I fucking love you dumb ass. My family is everything, above all else Kevin Nash is a sad sack of shit. I got offered a movie, Hawaii and Germany are the locations and I'll be gone for three months. So I really need to know where we stand babe."

Before Melinda could respond, Rebecca stood in the door way. "You...two have another guest."

Both Melinda and Daniel raised a brow in regards who was standing in the door frame. "Scott Hall?"

Scott heard his name and a weak smile presses across his lips. "I have something I need to tell you."

"What the hell?" Candice says walking towards the floor to window estate o her home. "Oh hell no! Jonathan!"

Both Kara and Carmen looks at each other and follows their mom outside in the front. "WOW!"

Candice stood there with her hands on her hips. "Really you bought a Lamborghini!? I thought you were going to buy a charger Jonathan."

"That's batman's car." Kara says.

Jonathan holds his son. "I still got it." Jonathan says.

"Daddy I think your in trouble." Carmen says.

Jonathan flashes his signature smile to Candice. "Babe-"

"You get Ashley here and tell her I am doing the realty show and I want a black and pink Birkin bag."

Jonathan nods his head. "Fine...ok."
