Stephanie just sat there staring at her phone until Paul walked back in from the set and saw her sat there, "Steph, sweetie, what's wrong?"
Stephanie looked up from her phone to see her husband stood there, "huh? What?"
Paul went and sat down beside her, "you were in a world of your own there just staring at your phone, anything I can help you with?"
She shook her head, "umm no, its okay I can handle it. So when are we going back to the hotel?"
He laughed, "I've got a couple more scenes and then I thought we could go out and grab something to eat, sound good?"
"Ooo yes, I haven't eaten all day."
Paul laughed and grabbed an apple out of the fridge in his trailer and threw it at her, "that should keep you going for now."
She took a big bite as she watched him walk back out the door to go back to the set.
Stephanie continued on with her work when her phone rang, "Stephanie McMahon – Levesque speaking."
"Hey Steph its Lynne."
Stephanie smiled when she heard her sister in-laws voice, "Lynne, how are you and the kids?"
"We're all doing great thanks, how are you and my baby brother doing?"
Stephanie laughed, "he'd kill you if he heard you say that. We're doing good though thanks."
"No more problems that you've had to see the Doctor over?"
"Doctor, what do you mean? What have you been told?"
"Relax Steph, when I spoke to Paul earlier in the week he said you hadn't been well and had been to the Doctors."
Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief, "ohh, phew."
"Stephanie, there is something you aren't telling me, what is it?"
Stephanie was about to say when in the background she heard, 'Auntie Stephie, Auntie Stephie, I want to speak to Auntie Stephie'.
Instead of answering Lynne's question she said, "is that Neysa?"
"Yep, she wants to talk to you."
Stephanie smiled, "put her on then."
So Lynne passed the phone to Neysa, "hi Auntie Stephie, you've been sick."
Stephanie smiled at the innocence, "hi Neysa. I have been sick but I'm feeling better now. How are you and your brother?"
"We're okay but Peter is being mean to me."
"Oh, what is he doing?"
"He won't let me play with him when he has his friends over."
"Neysa he is 13 so he has his own friends and you can't play with him all of the time."
"Yeah but he is really mean when he says I can't play."
In the background Stephanie could hear, "Neysa stop telling lies."
Stephanie laughed softly as it reminded her so much of her and Shane, "Neysa why don't you put Peter on and I'll have a word with him."
"Okay, I love you Auntie Stephie."
"I love you too Neysa."
She heard some mumblings before Peter came on the phone, "Hi Auntie Stephanie, how are you?"
"I'm well thank you, how are you?"
"I'm good except Neysa is lying to you."
"What is she lying over Peter?"
"I'm not mean to her when I say she can't play, I just shut the door so she can't get in."
Stephanie laughed, "man you sound so much like Shane. Shutting the door so she can't get in is being mean to her though; she's only 5 and doesn't understand these things yet. The best thing you can do if you want to keep her out of your hair is to tell her she can play but when your friends are gone."
"Would that work though?"
"As long as you did play with her once your friends had gone sure. I was like that with my brother and that worked for me."
"Okay, thanks Auntie Stephanie. I'll put Mom back on now, bye."
"Bye Peter."
Lynne came back on the line then, "I think you have just saved me a major headache, thank you."
"You're welcome Lynne. I've got to go as my Dad has just sent me an e-mail with a deadline of 30 minutes for my work and I haven't finished it yet. Send my love to everyone and I'll speak to you again."
"Alright Steph, take care, bye."
"Bye."
Stephanie worked until Paul came and whisked her away to a restaurant for a meal and she decided she was going to approach the subject of children with him.
When their meal was in front of them she took the plunge and said, "Paul, what do you think about us having children?"
Paul looked up from his pasta, "I'd love to have children with you in the future. Right now though it is hardly practical though with me doing movies and the wrestling and you flying between the movie sets, so you can see me, the wrestling and the offices for work. Also you have said yourself you're not someone who could stay at home all of the time yet and I know neither of us wants a Nanny to bring up our children."
She sighed and ran a hand through her hair which Paul noticed, "what's wrong Steph? Do you want children now?"
Stephanie could only think to herself, 'it's not a case of wanting them we're having them' but she didn't want to say that to him so she said, "nothing's wrong, it's just been a long day and I'm really tired."
Paul nodded, "once we're finished eating we'll go back to the hotel and have an early night."
Stephanie smiled gratefully at him as she genuinely was feeling really tired but only because she was pregnant and she had been worrying herself for days and she'd also had a long trip out to see him.
