This chapter is for levesque fan forever because she has been repeatedly asking for more of this story.
Stephanie and Trish picked out the food they wanted to eat before Stephanie ordered it and then went to slip into something more comfortable than her suit.
Ten minutes later and Stephanie walked out of the bedroom in some baggy pyjama bottoms and a camisole top with her hair piled on the top of her head in a messy bun.
Heavily sitting down on the sofa she curled her legs up underneath her, "so how was your evening?"
Trish laughed softly, "we're seriously going there? Steph come on let's not think about work, let's just relax and enjoy the meal when it arrives."
Stephanie smiled softly, "sorry, it's been a long time since I have relaxed with anyone that I just feel awkward."
Trish crossed her legs, "well I've got all night to help you getting back in the swing of things. How come you've not relaxed with anyone? Surely Mikey's Father takes him some of the time and you get some alone time."
Starting to panic Stephanie was scared about what to say but luckily there was a knock at the door and she had the chance to escape answering, "I'd better get that."
Quickly pushing herself up from the couch she practically ran to the door and swung it open. Smiling at the porter she stepped aside allowing him to push the trolley inside. Walking over to her bag she pulled out ten dollars and handed it to him, "thank you."
The porter nodded politely whilst looking between Stephanie and Trish, "thank you Ma'am, have a good evening."
Trish noticed the way the guy was looking between her and Stephanie so she stood up and walked over to Stephanie and not so discreetly put her arm around Stephanie's waist, "we've been so busy we just haven't had time to eat yet tonight so thank you."
She suggestively winked at the guy and watched as he turned a bright shade of red and practically ran out of the room.
As soon as the porter had left Stephanie shut the door before she turned to face Trish with an amused look on her face, "why?"
Trish laughed softly as she pushed the trolley further into the room, "it was too easy. The way he was looking between us it was obvious what he was thinking so I decided to give him something to think about tonight."
Shaking her head Stephanie took the lid off of the plates to reveal the contents, "I think he'll be doing more than thinking."
Letting out a loud laugh Trish quickly slapped her hands over her mouth, "oops, I hope I didn't wake Mikey."
Stephanie shook her head, "you probably didn't, he seems to sleep through everything."
Trish picked up her dinner and took a seat on the couch, "well that's good."
Stephanie smiled and took a seat on the couch with her dinner and started to tuck in.
Trish was about half way through her dinner when she remembered Stephanie hadn't answered her question, "so you never did answer whether Mikey's Dad took him so you could have some alone time."
She was backed into a corner, there was no way she could ignore the question a second time so decided to just tell Trish some of the information, "well actually he doesn't."
"Why not? Was it a bad split between you two or is he just a deadbeat like your brother said?"
Stephanie sighed, "the truth is he doesn't even know Mikey exists."
Trish's eyes widened and her dinner was forgotten, "are you serious? No wonder you're so tired and so stressed, you're doing it all on your own because of some scumbag."
"It's not that he is a scumbag as such, he just . . . it was difficult."
Confused Trish's brow crinkled, "it was difficult? Telling him was difficult or the way you broke up made things difficult?"
Dropping her fork onto the plate Stephanie put her dinner on the coffee table, "it was difficult because of all of that and more. We broke up because a good intentioned person meddled and then he wasn't interested in listening to me."
As Trish listened to Stephanie explain she couldn't help but draw parallels with the end of Stephanie's marriage to Hunter. Her mind continued to process the information and slowly pieced it all together until she had a eureka moment, "it's Hunter."
Pretending to not have any idea what Trish was talking about Stephanie said, "what's Hunter?"
Frowning Trish shook her head, "don't play that with me. Mikey is Hunter's son isn't he? How the hell did that happen and why does he not know?"
Picking up her dinner Stephanie started to eat it again, "I did try to tell him, really I did but he wouldn't listen and things got complicated and I decided to just not bother and raise Mikey on my own."
"I don't get it, when did you get pregnant? It had to be before he found out you lied right?"
Scraping her plate clean Stephanie ate the last mouthful before she said, "well actually I never lied. You see the thing is we were having so many problems and then I fell pregnant and I thought it would fix everything and I wanted to prove to him that it was all real. I had been to my own Doctor already to have the pregnancy checked out so what the actor showed him really was my scan photo and everything but I had just paid him to pretend to be my Doctor so I could convince Hunter it was all real."
Confused Trish rubbed her temples, "wait so you really were pregnant and you just wanted to convince Hunter which is why you employed that actor? If that was the case why didn't you just tell Hunter the truth?"
"I tried but he wouldn't listen. I was getting so stressed from everything that my Doctor warned me to calm down and relax or I would do some serious damage to the baby as my blood pressure was already slightly raised which is when I left the WWE."
Eating the final few bites of her dinner Trish tried to take all of the information in, "so what about signing the Divorce papers? Surely you saw Hunter and he realised you really were pregnant."
Shaking her head Stephanie looked at the floor, "I signed the papers at my lawyer's and just he went to meet with Hunter and his lawyer to finalise the Divorce. Hunter thinks I was too ashamed to face him but the truth was I was too scared."
"Are you planning to tell Hunter about Mikey now you're around WWE?"
Violently Stephanie shook her head, "no, definitely not. I hadn't planned to before we arrived but when Hunter barged into my office and called Mikey a brat and was so angry at me I made the decision to keep it entirely from Hunter which is why you can't tell him. He can't know about Mikey because I don't want to put Mikey into the position where he has to deal with Hunter's anger and know that that is his Father."
Putting the plate on the floor Trish pulled her feet up onto the couch, "so when will you tell Mikey about who his Dad is?"
Stephanie shrugged, "when he is truly old enough to understand things. Until that day I have to do everything on my own and although I will struggle I will do it as it is the best thing for my son."
Understanding Stephanie's reasons for doing what she was doing as she knew Hunter's temper was volatile these days she wasn't going to betray Stephanie, "I won't tell Hunter, it isn't my secret to tell. My offer still stands though, whenever you need somebody to watch Mikey I am here."
Smiling softly Stephanie nodded her head, "thank you for everything today, you have been a real God send for me. Are you serious about whenever I need someone to watch Mikey you'll do it?"
"Of course, why would I not be?"
Stephanie bit down on her lip nervously knowing she was going to be asking a lot, "could you possibly come by here in the morning and watch him whilst I do some work please? I feel guilty when I work and he's left to entertain himself. I'll give you a ride to Smackdown so you won't have to worry about that but if you have other plans or you'd rather travel with someone else I totally get it."
Trish shook her head, "I don't have any concrete plans to ride with anyone so I would love to come by in the morning and play with Mikey for a bit. Shall we say about nine? I assume he'll be up by then."
Laughing softly Stephanie nodded, "sounds good to me. If this morning was anything to go by he'll be bouncing on my bed at half past five."
Groaning Trish looked at the watch on her wrist and her eyes widened when she saw the time, "well I had better go as that is only three and a half hours away."
Setting her feet back on the floor Trish bent down to pull her shoes on again before she stood up and grabbed the plates and put them back on the trolley, "I will see you in the morning Steph."
Stephanie stood up and opened the door before she pushed the trolley out into the corridor ready to be collected and turned around to see Trish stood there with her suitcase, "I'll see you in the morning, thank you again."
Trish shrugged, "it's nothing."
Hugging Stephanie quickly Trish then left to go and get some sleep.
As soon as Trish had left Stephanie shut the door and immediately went and crawled into bed, she was exhausted.
