Paul didn't get much sleep that night, not for the want of trying he was just thinking about Stephanie and Shane and the fact that the next day he'd be able to see his baby for the first time.

Slowly day broke and he had to get up and get ready to go to the hospital, he only hoped that Stephanie wouldn't mind him being there.

Paul went down to the gym and did little things to pass the time until it was time for him to set off for the hospital.

Stephanie had slept quite well but before she knew it she had to get up and go to work before she went to the hospital.

When she had gotten dressed she sat down on the bed looking at her phone debating whether to call Paul and tell him about the scan or not but what Shane had said kept running through her mind and she reluctantly decided not too.

She went into work and worked furiously to get a lot of her work done before she went to the hospital as she knew she'd be gone a while and before she knew it she had to leave for the hospital.

Stephanie had arrived at the hospital early and was sat in the waiting room reading a magazine when Paul came in, as soon as he saw her he went over to her and said, "is anyone sat here?"

Stephanie looked up and saw Paul, "Paul, what are you doing here?"

He sat down beside her, "your Mom called and said that this is your first scan appointment and I really wanted to be here, I can go if you want."

She shook her head, "no I don't want that, I want you here with me but after you walked out yesterday I didn't have the guts to tell you about it."

"Yeah I'm sorry about that, I needed to clear my head."

Stephanie shrugged, "it's okay, you're here now."

They sat in silence for a bit before Paul broke it angain, "would you mind if I held your hand? I'd really like to be close to you right now but I know I've been less than perfect and I understand if you don't want to."

She smiled, "I can't believe you asked me that, you didn't need to."

She then grabbed his hand and held it tightly.

Shane was running late and he was panicking over whether he would get to Stephanie in time, he practically ran through the hospital to reach her and when he got in the door he was met by the sight of Stephanie sat there holding hands with Paul, he was shocked.

Shane took a few deep breaths before stalking over to her and grabbing her arm, "what the hell are you doing here Paul?"

Paul held on to Stephanie's hand as Shane pulled at her, "I'm here to see my child Shane, why are you here?"

Shane scoffed, "yeah right, I don't believe you. I'm here to support Stephanie because she didn't think her husband would be here."

"Sorry to disappoint you then Shane but you're not needed now, goodbye."

Shane stood firm still pulling at Stephanie's arm before she said, "will you both get off of me please, I am not anybody's possession."

Paul let go and said, "sorry."

Shane let go but said, "I only wanted to protect you."

Paul saw red, "protect her from what Shane?"

Shane looked pointedly at him, "protect her from you, who knows what you'll do to her."

Paul looked at him incredulously, "excuse me? Stephanie is my wife and she is carrying my child and you think I'm going to do something to her, what planet are you on Shane?"

Shane shook his head, "you don't need to pretend anymore Paul, I know that you don't want the baby and I've promised Steph I'll look after her and protect her from you."

Paul shook his head, "if she needs protecting from anybody it is you that she needs to be protecting from. I don't know where you get your information Shane but it is completely and utterly false."

"I'm not buying it Paul, you just want to get your own way."

Stephanie had had enough of the arguing and it was starting to cause a stir in the waiting room, "will you two just shut up, I don't need this right now. Sit down, be quiet and we'll talk about this later."

Shane and Paul had been quiet for a minute before Shane said, "Steph don't believe a word he says, he is lying to you."

Paul got up and looked Shane dead in the eye, "say exactly what you mean Shane, I'm sure we'd all love to know what you are insinuating about me."

Shane stood up and faced him straight on, "you know exactly what I mean. You walked out on Stephanie the minute she told you she was pregnant and you have not been interested in her until now and that is only because you want . . ."

Suddenly a voice said, "Stephanie McMahon-Levesque, we're ready for you now if you'll come this way."

Stephanie grabbed Paul by the hand and dragged him with her but not before she turned to Shane and said, "sit down there and do not move."
