Stephanie and Paul flew down to the McMahon's Florida holiday apartment Friday night after work; they decided to get a bit of rest and relaxation in before the show.
Stephanie and Paul were lying on the sofa of the apartment on Saturday watching a movie when Paul said, "is Shane coming to Armageddon?"
She shrugged, "I guess so, he normally comes to the pay per views and the shows the next week so you'll have to be on your best behaviour."
Paul feigned shock, "I'd never cause any trouble, I'm an angel."
She laughed and cuddled a bit closer to him, "you're a devil sometimes but that's why I love you."
He kissed her forehead, "I love you too."
It was Sunday morning and Vince was at the arena extra early to instruct the crew on what to do so his plan worked, he got a camera set up in Stephanie's locker room directed at the couch but in a wide view so you could see plenty of the room and then he had that fed directly to the monitor in his office which would show the happenings of the locker room at all times. Vince knew this wouldn't be needed until he instructed Stephanie to take some time off in the afternoon so he shut his monitor off just in time though as Stephanie and Paul walked in, "Dad, how are you?"
Vince smiled at his Daughter and Son in-law, "hi, I'm good thanks. How are you two, or should that be three?"
She smiled, "we're all really good thanks. We had a nice relaxing day yesterday which I definitely needed and we're ready to work."
Vince nodded, "that's good, shall we get going to the meeting then?"
Paul nodded, "you two go and I'll catch up to you once I've dumped our stuff."
Stephanie kissed him quickly, "okay."
They went their separate ways for the time being.
The first production meeting of the day had gone well and Shane had kept very quiet avoiding Paul's eyes as much as possible.
When the meeting was over Vince called Stephanie and Paul over, "I'd like the two of you to take a break this afternoon okay. Shane and I will sort through the script Stephanie and Paul you can plan your match out early as I'd like the two of you to spend some time together."
Paul and Stephanie exchanged glances before Paul said, "but won't the guys think I'm getting preferential treatment?"
Vince shrugged, "I doubt it, they get to rest through the afternoon anyway and it's not like it's the whole night or anything."
Paul sighed, "I'd like to spend some time with Stephanie, it's not exactly been easy lately."
Vince nodded, "exactly, now do as you're told and take some time together in your locker room."
Stephanie nodded and kissed Vince on the cheek, "thanks Dad."
Vince shrugged, "it's nothing."
He left but not before collaring Shane and dragging him out with him.
When Vince had got into his office he'd turned the monitor on but where Shane was sat he could not see it so unbeknownst to him Vince was watching his sister's locker room waiting for something to prove to Shane that Paul really did love Stephanie and want the baby that she was carrying.
Vince was watching the monitor while Shane went and got coffee and he saw Trish walk in so he turned up the sound, "hey Steph, I came to see how you are doing?"
Stephanie smiled warmly, "hey Trish, I'm good thanks but you're lying to me."
Trish was shocked, "I don't know what you mean Steph."
Stephanie raised her eyebrows, "really? So you haven't seen Paul in say the last ten minutes then?"
Trish shook her head, "damn, you saw through me."
Stephanie shook her head, "not really, Paul's just been really sweet and amazing lately and I could just tell that he'd sent you because I know it was something he'd do."
Trish nodded, "yeah he sent me to just basically tell you he'd only be about ten more minutes or so and he'd be with you and I was bored so he sent me to keep you company."
Stephanie smiled, "he's so sweet."
Trish playfully rolled her eyes to which Stephanie glared at her and Trish then held her hands up in defence, "hey calm down, I wish I had a man as sweet and caring and as thoughtful as yours."
Stephanie smiled, "I know, I've really landed on my feet."
Vince smiled as Stephanie never told him this stuff but Shane walked in so he put the TV back on mute.
Shane sat down and handed Vince his coffee, "so what were you looking at Dad? You haven't had a camera placed in the women's dressing room and are you are watching them change have you?"
Vince laughed and shook his head, "of course not, I'd never go that far."
Shane and Vince continued talking about the script when on the monitor Vince saw the door to Stephanie's locker room open and Paul walked in so Vince turned the sound back on and swivelled the screen so Shane could watch it as well, "Shane just shut up and watch this okay."
Shane just nodded unsure of what his Father wanted him to see but he was intrigued all the same until he saw Stephanie, "Dad this is Stephanie's locker room."
Vince nodded, "I know, now just shut up and watch."
