The next morning Paul had to be up very early to go to the set so he decided to leave Stephanie sleep in as she looked so peaceful and she had been really tired the night before so he just left her a note and headed off to work.
A couple of hours later Stephanie woke up and remembering where she was she rolled over only to see an empty bed and a note saying he had gone to work, almost as soon as she had read the note a wave of nausea passed through her and she ran for the bathroom.
Once she had finished being sick for the time being she had a shower and got dressed before checking her e-mails and finding one there from her Father asking if Paul was going to be able to make Raw on Monday so she grabbed her things and called a cab to take her to the set.
When Stephanie arrived at the set she went straight to Paul's trailer and set some things up to do her work until Paul arrived back.
About an hour later Paul walked in with a cup of coffee that someone had gone out and bought for a lot of the stars as the movie set stuff was very weak, as soon as Paul walked in and Stephanie smelt the coffee she made a run for the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom Paul was sat there looking very worried, "what's wrong? Are you okay?"
She nodded, "I'm uh fine, I guess what I ate last night disagreed with me."
"Is there anything I can get you, a doctor maybe?"
Stephanie shook her head, "I'm fine honestly, give me a couple of hours and it will be out of my system I promise."
He nodded reluctantly, "alright. So what brought you here today? I thought you were going to work from the hotel as you were so tired last night."
"I got an e-mail from my Dad asking if you'd be able to make Raw on Monday or not? He's not sure of your exact schedule and as they are in Anaheim he figured you might be able to make the trip."
"I can't, well not at this minute anyway. My schedule is full, I am filming all day Monday and I won't be able to get down there in time for Raw unfortunately."
She nodded, "okay, I'm sure they'll manage without you."
Paul grinned wickedly, "I bet they won't, nothing can survive without me."
Stephanie groaned and rolled her eyes, "you are impossible."
He smiled at her and pulled her onto his lap, "and that's why you love me."
Stephanie was taking a break from working in the middle of the afternoon when she decided to call Marissa her sister in-law.
She dialled the number and Marissa picked up, "hello, Marissa speaking how can I help?"
"Rissa, it's been a while."
Marissa laughed, "Steph, how are you?"
"I'm okay thanks, how are you and my future niece/nephew?"
"We're doing well thanks. What is it that you are specifically calling for? It is the middle of the day and you should be working."
"I am offended that you don't want to talk to me, fine then."
Stephanie jokingly huffed and went to hang up, Marissa just laughed, "I do want to talk to you but there is obviously something on your mind as you've called me in the middle of the day when obviously your husband and my husband are working so spill."
She sighed, "if I tell you you can not tell a soul, not even Shane."
"I won't tell anyone now tell me."
"Umm I'm not sure how to explain this so I'll just come out with it. I'm pregnant but Paul doesn't know and I approached him last night about children and he said he doesn't want them for a while yet."
"Ah, I see your problem. How far along are you?"
"Far enough that I am throwing up every morning and have been for almost the past week."
Marissa was quiet for a minute, "you've got to tell him now Steph, you should be going for your first scan next week and he needs to know. You can hardly take him along and then say 'oh yeah by the way I'm pregnant'."
"I know Rissa, I know. How do I tell him though? He's going to hate me for this."
"He won't hate you Steph, Paul could never hate you as he loves you too much."
"He may love me but that doesn't mean he won't want to kill me when he finds out that he's going to be a Father in 8 months."
"Steph calm down take a deep breath and then think rationally about this. You can't hide it from him forever, you'll be showing soon."
Just then Paul walked in the door, "alright Marissa, give our love to Shane and I'll speak to you again, bye."
Stephanie hung up before allowing Marissa a chance to respond which left Marissa very confused and worried about her sister in-law.
