The short drive to the arena felt like a lifetime for Stephanie as she just wanted to get there and get the day over with but it seemed like the limo was travelling in slow motion.
When they finally arrived at the arena and the driver opened the door for her she barely had time to react before Mikey was attempting to climb over her to get out of the car. Quickly grabbing hold of him she stopped his movements, "Mikey it is very rude to attempt to climb over somebody in the car, don't do that. We will get out of the car in my time and when I am ready and not before then so settle down."
"But I wants to see."
"I don't care what you want." Immediately feeling bad for snapping at her son Stephanie ran her fingers through her hair, "I'm sorry Mikey, Mommy is just a little stressed and you just need to slow down for her."
Mikey just moved from on top of her and sat in the seat next to her looking at the floor.
Sighing heavily she slowly climbed out of the car thanking the limo driver before she waited and watched as Mikey slid across the seat and climbed out of the car and stood by her side. Rubbing his hair affectionately she smiled down at him, "thank you."
Whilst she had been focussing on Mikey the limo driver had got her bags out of the trunk, "here you go Ma'am. Do you need me to carry them inside for you?"
Shaking her head Stephanie reached for the laptop bag and slung it over her shoulder, "no it's okay thank you, I've got this."
Reaching for the suitcase she pulled up the handle on it and tipped it to drag it behind her but Mikey quickly grabbed at it, "no, I's do it."
Laughing softly she kept hold of the handle, "it's very heavy Mikey, it'll squash you. Why don't you just help Mommy pull it?"
Nodding his head he kept hold of the handle and walked with Stephanie as they entered the arena.
Upon entering the arena Stephanie felt like there was a welcoming committee there to greet her as there was a group of employees stood just inside the door looking bored, "well it's very nice of you to welcome me back but I am sure there is work you can be getting on with."
They all jumped at the sound of her voice and turned to face her, "we're sorry Miss McMahon, we didn't know you'd be here."
Smirking she looked pleased to hear that knowing it would be a surprise to everyone, "well now you do so instead of slacking off get on with your work. I am in charge here for the time being so you must do as I say and any problems they come directly to me and nobody else."
With that she continued walking with Mikey dragging the suitcase behind them satisfied to know that the word would go around that she was in charge and she was taking no shit from anyone so they'd all be on their best behaviour.
Reaching the office marked with her Father's name crossed out on a piece of paper and 'Boss' scribbled on she pushed the door open and smiled seeing a desk and a sofa with plenty of room on the floor, "wonderful."
Carefully pulling the suitcase into the room she shut the door before she pushed the handle down on the suitcase when Mikey let go before she lay it down flat on the floor in the corner of the room before she unzipped it and opened the lid for Mikey, "okay there's all of your toys, just don't take them all out and spread them around the floor please as Mommy will need to get in and out of the room."
Mikey nodded his head obediently before he dropped to his knees on the floor and rifled through the suitcase to find what he wanted to play with. Taking out a couple of cars he placed them on the floor before he picked up the stuffed toys and sat them in a line on the couch, "no Bubbles."
Stephanie had placed her laptop on the desk as he went through the suitcase and was about to get it out when she heard him mention Bubbles and that reminded her so placing her purse on the desk she pulled out Bubbles, "are you sure about that Mikey? It looks like somebody found their way into Mommy's purse to come on the adventure with you."
Running over to his Mom he reached for his favourite toy monkey, "Bubbles! You's bad boy hiding in Mommy's purse." Hugging the toy tightly to his chest Mikey went back over to the couch and sat him next to all of the other toys on the couch, "now stay there and be a good boy before Mommy puts you in times out."
Shaking her head at her son she put her purse beneath the desk before she pulled out her laptop and set it up before she shrugged off his suit jacket and placed it over the back of the chair before she took a seat to get some work done.
Hunter was already in a bad mood when he arrived at the arena because he was caught up in traffic so was later than he wanted to be and then he couldn't find a parking space close to the arena so he was just in a foul mood with a short temper and was likely to snap quickly unless people left him alone.
Storming into the arena he failed to notice the nervous looks on people's face as he passed by getting closer and closer to the office Stephanie was in with each step he made. Passing by the office without so much as looking in the direction of the closed door he was still completely unaware of the fact that his ex-wife and the child he did not know he had were behind that door.
Swinging the door to the locker room open so hard it banged on the wall behind it the room fell silent as soon as he entered the room and all eyes were on him. Dumping his bag on the bench he turned around to see everyone staring at him, "what?!"
Randy Orton was the only person brave enough to speak up, "judging by your mood I guess you've heard."
Frowning Hunter glared at him, "you guess I have heard about what? I'm in a bad mood because some asshole was driving well below the speed limit causing a massive traffic jam and so I was late, I have heard about nothing."
Randy's eyes widened and he quickly looked away from Hunter, "oh."
Not willing to let him say that and then not elaborate on what he had mentioned earlier so he glared at the younger man, "expand Randy or I'll expand your face when I punch it."
Gulping Randy took a few steps back away from Hunter, "I . . . we thought you'd heard that Stephanie was here."
Taking a few steps towards the younger man Hunter glared at him menacingly, "what do you mean 'Stephanie's here'? Stephanie as in my bitch of an ex-wife Stephanie?"
Nodding his head slowly Randy took a few more steps back away from Hunter until he was pressed against the wall, "yes your ex-wife."
Grabbing Randy by the t-shirt he was wearing Hunter held him against the wall, "what is she doing here?"
Gulping at the way he was being held against the wall Randy looked around panicked looking for help but nobody was brave enough to step up so Randy had to answer him, "I don't really know. Apparently, this is the rumour going around anyway, Vince is in hospital so she's come to run the shows but I don't know how true it is, nobody has seen her to talk to."
"Well that will soon change."
Hunter dropped his hold on Randy's t-shirt and smoothed it out for him before he turned and stormed out of the room heading straight to find out where she was and what she was doing there.
