AN: I only own the OC.

Thank you for reviewing!


Paul POV

I was sitting at home, in Connecticut, waiting for Reese and Dean to come over for dinner. I still didn't like Dean or the idea that he was near my daughter, but I was trying to nice for Reese. He hadn't done anything wrong. I was glad that Renee was gone from the company and that seemed to help their relationship. Stephanie had taken the girls to Vince and Linda's for the night. She wanted us to have dinner with just Reese and Dean. I needed to talk to Reese anyways because she had been sick lately. I didn't want anything to hurt her career.

The doorbell rang and Stephanie stuck her head out of the kitchen. She shot me a look and I grumbled as I got up. I walked over and opened the door. Reese and Dean were standing there with some wine and a cake.

"Come in." I said and Reese gave me a hug. She walked in and went to the kitchen. Dean walked in and looked at me. He stuck his hand out and I reluctantly shook it. He handed me the wine and I mumbled a thank you. I shut the door and walked into the kitchen. He reluctantly followed and I found Reese and Stephanie talking.

"Come here." I said and to Dean and he nodded before following me. We walked into my study and he looked at me.

"Are you serious about Reese?" I asked him and he nodded.

"Yes, sir." he said and I nodded.

"I know that you and I don't care for each other, but I want you to know that she seems happy with you. I am glad for that." I said and he nodded.

"Also, if you don't fuck this up you will be happy with the outcome of your career." I said and he looked surprised.

"Oh, come on, you don't think I have perks for being Vince's son-in-law." I said and he chuckled. I got ready to say something else when Reese and Stephanie appeared in the doorway.

"Yes?" I asked them.

"I wanted to make sure that you hadn't killed him." Reese said and I smirked at her. I knew that Dean hadn't started out on the right foot with the WWE, I didn't care for him, and he wasn't exactly a good role model... but, he made Reese happy.

"Not yet." I joked and he nodded.

"Come on, dinner." Stephanie said and I nodded.

Reese POV

I was so nervous to be here. I knew that we were going to tell Dad tonight, but I just couldn't gauge his reaction. I hoped that he would be happy, but something told me that he wouldn't be.

"Dinner is delicious." Dean said and Stephanie smiled at him. She was eyeing me and I was so nervous.

"Dad, we wanted to tell you something." I finally said and everyone looked at me. Stephanie gave me a small smile and Dean squeezed my hand. Dad was looking at me and I felt sick.

"What is it?" he asked me and he had always been slightly intimidating, but now he was very intimidating.

"I'm pregnant." I said and waited for the hysterics. Dad looked at me, looked at Dean, and left the table. I felt the tears roll down my cheeks before I processed that I was crying.

"Thank you for dinner." I choked out and stood up. Dean immediately was at my side and we left. I bawled the entire way to the hotel. I knew that he wouldn't react well, but I never imagined that it would be so bad that he couldn't say anything.

Stephanie POV

I sighed as I heard the front door shut. I knew that Paul wouldn't be exactly happy to hear this, but I thought that he would react better than that. I cleared the table and walked down to the gym. I walked in and he was beating the punching bag... he had already busted his knuckles.

"Did you know?" he asked me and I sighed.

"Yes, I am a woman... I knew the signs." I said and he glared at me.

"And you didn't tell me?" he asked me.

"Paul, it wasn't my place. She and Dean had to tell you. She knew that you wouldn't be happy." I said and he stopped hitting the bag. He looked at me and I could see tears on his cheeks. Reese meant a lot to him, but I didn't expect this reaction.

"How the fuck am I supposed to be happy? She got pregnant by him!" he roared and I sighed.

"Don't you think that's what Dad thought when you and I got together?" I asked him and he sighed.

"It's not the same!" he said and I shook my head. Paul was in the same place that my Dad had been years ago.

"How? Because we weren't pregnant before we got together?" I asked him and he sighed.

"I was better than Dean." he said and I nodded.

"You were? Because Dad buried your career for breaking character and you didn't have a shot until you got lucky with DX, when we got together. Dad fought for me not to date you and then threatened to take me out of the will when I married you. Dean has tried, he has succeeded, and he has stuck around even after what Renee did to him. You have no right to say you were better than him." I warned Paul and he looked at me.

Paul POV

I was in shock. I couldn't believe that Reese was pregnant. She was my oldest daughter and I didn't want to see her as old enough to be a mother. I wasn't ready for her to grow up.

"Maybe I am scared!" I finally admitted and Stephanie nodded.

"Then admit that, but don't push Reese away! She loves you and values your opinion. She doesn't want you to hate her." she said and I sighed. I knew that she was right, but I hated it.

"She's not supposed to be that old enough." I said and Stephanie pulled me in for a hug.

"She will never be old enough according to you, but this is when she needs her Dad." she said and I sighed.

"What should I do?" I asked Stephanie.

"Talk to her... and stop hating Dean. I have a feeling he's going to be your son-in-law one day." she said and I nodded. I knew what I was supposed to do, but not what I wanted to do.


AN: Will he do what's right?
