Stephanie had been quiet for a few minutes, in fact she hadn't said anything since Shane's revelation and Shane was getting worried, "Steph, talk to me will you."

"I don't know what to say Shane, I'm so confused."

He sighed, "Steph I didn't want to have to do this but you're my sister and I love you and I can't sit back and watch you get hurt. Say you'll come and stay with us please."

She sighed, "I don't know Shane, just leave me be alright."

"Okay Steph, just take care of yourself."

"Yeah yeah Shane, I can manage that, bye."

"Bye Steph."

Stephanie hung up but now her head hurt from all the information so she lay down and closed her eyes.

Paul had run out to get some things sorted for a special lunch for them both before they flew back out of LA again so when he arrived back at the studios he headed straight for Stephanie's dressing room.

When Paul arrived at her door he took a deep breath before walking in only to see her sound asleep on the couch, quietly he tiptoed over to her and knelt down by the side of her and just watched her sleep. She looked so peaceful, like an angel and he loved to just watch her sleep so he thought he'd let her sleep for a few more minutes.

Stephanie had been sleeping for a while and she rolled over in her sleep but a lock of hair fell over her face so Paul gently removed it but it woke her up.

Slowly rubbing her eyes Stephanie then opened them and her focus wasn't very good so she didn't realise it was Paul so she shrank back in the couch away from him.

Seeing Stephanie shrink away from him Paul reached his hand out and stroked the side of her face, "Steph it's just me, don't worry I won't hurt you."

She relaxed until what Shane had said to her came flooding back and she was scared and she didn't know what to do but she needed to talk to her Mom before she accused Paul of anything.

Stephanie sat up on the couch, "I'm hungry."

Paul laughed, "do you want to go for lunch then?"

She nodded, "definitely but I can't miss my flight."

He nodded, "don't worry I'll keep an eye on the time as I don't want us to miss our flight. If you hadn't gathered already I'm coming home with you for the weekend so we can sort things out."

Stephanie just nodded and got up and gathered her things and headed for the door.

Through lunch and the flight Stephanie kept very quiet only really speaking to Paul when she had to but he wasn't sure whether she was tired or still annoyed with him.

They had just landed back in Connecticut and Stephanie straight away got her things and headed for the taxis with Paul, as they got in the taxi Stephanie gave her parents address and as the taxi pulled away Paul looked at Stephanie confused, "that's your parents, why are we going there?"

She looked out of the window, "I need to talk to my Mom about something so I'm going there, you can go straight home if you want and I'll come home when I'm done."

He shook his head, "no, its okay I'll come with you and I can talk with your Dad about something."

Stephanie just nodded not paying much attention to him.

Whenthey arrived at the McMahon mansion Linda came out of the living room to greet them, "Steph, Paul what are you doing here?"

Stephanie went over and hugged her Mom, "I wanted a chat about something a minute and Paul just came with me as we've just got back in."

Linda went over and hugged Paul while Stephanie went into the living room, "so Paul how are things? Have you made it up?"

He shrugged, "I thought we had but I don't know, I won't tell you anything so as not to interfere as Steph wants to talk to you about something. Is Vince around?"

Linda nodded, "alright then. Yes Vince is in his office; go on down."

He smiled and nodded, "thanks Linda."

Paul knocked on Vince's office door, from inside 'come in' could be heard so Paul opened the door and walked in, "hi Vince, I hope you don't mind."

Vince looked up from his paperwork and saw Paul and smiled, "of course not, how are you Paul?"

The two men shook hands before Paul replied, "I'm alright, although Steph is still iffy with me."

"Why do you say that Paul? You've obviously done a lot of ground work when it comes to patching things up as you're here and not in Vancouver."

Paul nodded, "I'd like to think I have but ever since Stephanie came off stage of Wayne Brady and I came back from setting lunch up for us she has been really quiet and kind of abrupt with me and I don't know why."

Vince rubbed his chin, "maybe she wants you to say you're sorry again or the pregnancy is just wearing her out? Why don't you just go and talk to her now, I'm sure Linda won't mind if you interrupt them."

Paul nodded, "I think I'll do that."

He left the office and headed for the living room.

Stephanie was sat talking about nothing in particular with Linda when she said, "Steph cut to the chase, why are you here and not home with your Husband?"

Stephanie sighed, "I'm kind of scared to go home alone with him. Shane rang me earlier and he said that Paul doesn't want the baby and Shane thinks he'll go to any length for me to get rid of it so he wants me to go and stay with him for a bit so he can look after me and make sure Paul does me no harm."

Linda was speechless, "what are you going to do? Have you spoken to Paul about any of this? Have you told Paul you've got your first scan tomorrow?"

"I don't know and I haven't spoken to Paul about what Shane said I wanted to talk to you first and he doesn't know about the scan yet. I was going to tell him but then Shane rang and I'm confused."

They just sat there in silence for a minute neither knowing that Paul was outside the door and had heard every word.
