Dean is leaning against a wall in the corridor, nervously playing with his phone. "Waiting for someone?" I ask, sneaking up on him. He jumps and nearly drops the phone. I see his screensaver. It's us. I smile. "Jeez babe" he groans putting the phone in his pocket and hugging me. "Don't creep up on me like that! I'd like to see Olaf born!" "Keep calling him Olaf and see how long you live Ambrose" I growl. He puts his arm around me and we start to walk. "How was the meeting?" he asks. I groan. "Biggest meeting of my fucking life" I say as we walk into catering. He pulls out a chair for me and gestures for me to sit. I shake my head. "I need food" I say. He points at the chair again. "I'm quite capable of getting my wife's food" he says. I groan and sit down, watching as he moves along the trays, getting food he knows I like. He walks back and puts it in front of me. "Thanks" I say kissing him. "So?' he asks, sitting opposite me. "How did it go?" I'm about to answer him when Vince walks in. "Hey Torrie" he says walking over to me and hugging me. "Very nice presentation in there. We're gonna get the guys you recommended over for a contract negotiation next week, we'd like you to be involved in the meeting." I nod. "Thank you Sir" I finally manage to get out. He laughs and shakes his head. "No" he says. "Thank you. And it's Vince. I haven't been knighted by your queen, and Mr McMahon was my father, no matter what I'm called on screen. Welcome to the corporate family." "Thank you" I say again as he smiles and walks away. Dean looks at me. "Holy fuck!" he hisses. "Did you really just have a meeting with him?" "Technically" I say. "I guess you could say he had a meeting with me. I chaired the meeting." "Oh my fucking god" he moans. "You're fucking amazing babe!" "Not the first time you've told me that today" I grin as I spear chicken with my fork. He smirks. "Won't be the last either if you're lucky" he says. "If who's lucky?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. "Me" he groans. I smile and quickly eat my food before standing up. "Where are you going?" he asks. "Office" I say kissing him. "Need to sort my stuff for the roster meeting." He nods and pulls me down onto his lap. He kisses me softly and rubs my nose with his. The baby kicks and he smiles. "Hey Olaf" he says smiling as he rubs my stomach. "Papa will speak to you later." "Not if papa keeps calling him Olaf" I growl. He laughs and lets me stand up. "Go sort your stuff" he says kissing my hand. "I'll see you in the meeting." I nod and head for the office.
I'm nearly at the office when I hear them. Renee and Summer are talking somewhere nearby. "Yeah I spoke to him earlier" Renee says. "So why didn't he come home to you?" Summer asks. "I mean, last night was the last night you were staying at his, right? I would have thought he'd come home just to make it a night to remember." "I know, right?" Renee says. "So I called him this morning to ask him what he wanted to do about the keys to the house, hoping he'd say that he'd be home and we could travel here together." "And he didn't?" Summer asks in disbelief. I smirk and lean against the wall, waiting for Renee's answer. "Nuh uh" she says. "Turns out, he's in bed. With her." "Her?" Summer asks. "The skank he left the bar with?" "Yeah" Renee sighs. "It gets better than that though..." "Renee" I say, smiling sweetly as I walk around the corner. "Phone my husband again when he's in bed with me and we're gonna have a huge problem, comprende?" She looks at the floor. "Well?' I ask, tapping my foot as I wait for her reply. She blushes and nods. "Keys" I say, holding my hand out. She looks at me in shock. "Keys, Renee" I say again. "I should give them to Dean..." she starts. I laugh. "Renee" I sigh. "Let me put this in simple terms for you so you'll understand. you're going nowhere near my husband, tonight or any night. He's coming home with me, so you're not gonna get a chance to see him to give him the keys. I am. Now hand them over." "Ex husband" Summer mutters under her breath. "Excuse me?" I ask, spinning to face her. She looks at me in defiance. "He's your ex husband" she says. "You divorced him. Get over it. Why shouldn't Renee have him?" "She doesn't want him now he hasn't got a ring on his finger" I smirk. "The attraction isn't there any more. There's no point wanting the forbidden fruit when you can actually have it. Oh, I forget, the fruit didn't want her! Keys!" Renee puts them in my hand quickly and starts to walk off. "Oh Renee" I say. She takes a deep breath before turning around. "I suggest you delete his number" I say. "Just to stop you hearing things on the phone that you're not meant to." I make a show of wiping around my mouth and she gets my meaning, nodding before she walks off. I smirk and walk to the office, throwing Dean's keys in the air and catching them as I walk.
I text Dean to let him know I've got his keys as soon as I get in the office. I put the phone in my bag and start going through the matches for the taping. There's a bang at the door and beford I can say anything Dean bursts in. "Why am I worried?' he asks straight away. I shrug and shake my head. "No idea" I say handing him the keys. "I don't need these doll" he says simply. "I'm staying with you tonight." I take a deep breath before shaking my head. "I wouldn't be too sure about that if I were you, sunshine" I say. He looks at me like I've grown another head. "Huh?" he finally manages. "Not gonna happen Dean" I say, flipping through my papers until I find what I need. "Wanna run that by me again?" he growls, sitting down. "By all means" I say, smiling sweetly. "You have the house. Use it. End of conversation." He shakes his head. "Whats brought this on?" he asks quietly. I look at him. "I can't do it" I say simply. "As if you cheating wasn't bad enough, you cheated with someone I have to work with. I have to see her every day. Put up with her and Summer bitching about me for something other than work. I can't do it. I have to get over this. The relationship we had, it isn't there anymore. Meeting is in five minutes. Shut the door on your way out."
