Taking slow deliberate steps down the ramp and then up the steps before she climbed into the ring she stared at Mikey before she turned her attention to Trish, "what is this?"
Trish shuffled her feet nervously, "Jericho suggested it and Mikey begged and I couldn't say no and he didn't get hurt and he was never alone when he did anything and we were always watching him and protecting him and he was safe and honestly I wouldn't have let him get hurt."
Putting her hand up to stop Trish Stephanie shook her head, "try breathing so it doesn't sound like 'garble garble garble'."
Trish blushed as everyone else laughed softly at her. Sighing heavily Trish said, "it's all Jericho's fault but we were careful with Mikey and we didn't let him climb higher than the middle rope. Hunter and Lita were outside the ring incase he stumbled and Jericho and I held him from the inside. Honestly Steph I didn't mean to disobey you but when he does the puppy dog eyes it kills me."
Smiling a little she laughed softly, "yeah, my son has become quite adept at the puppy dog eyes to get what he wants."
Turning to Mikey she shook her head, "I told you no jumping or climbing in the ring and you deliberately disobeyed me."
Mikey went to jump from the ropes but Hunter held onto him tightly, "oh no you don't buddy. Your Mom just said no jumping so you need to wait for someone to lift you down."
Stephanie's head snapped up and she stared at Hunter, what the fuck was his problem? It took all of her strength not to ask him what happened to him.
Jericho quickly grabbed hold of Mikey and placed him on the floor, "I'm going to go."
Hunter and Lita both nodded and quickly followed Jericho out of the ring and up the ramp leaving a clearly irate Stephanie alone with Trish and Mikey.
Once everyone else had left Stephanie shook her head, "you two follow me to my office please."
Trish and Mikey followed Stephanie out of the ring and back to her office sulking all of the way.
As soon as they reached her office Stephanie pointed to a chair in the corner of the room, "Trish, sit down."
Not wanting to piss Stephanie off even further Trish immediately sat down and just waited for her turn to have the riot act read to her.
Turning to Mikey Stephanie looked at him with a stern look on her face, "when I tell you not to do something you do not go ahead and do it anyway. I don't care if Trish, Jericho, anyone said it is okay, if I say it's not okay then you do not do it. You will not be allowed back in the ring for at least the rest of today if not into next week too."
Nodding his head Mikey let his bottom lip poke out, "I sowwie."
"You're not forgiven. Now go and sit quietly in the corner and play with some of your toys."
Before he went over to his toys Mikey looked up at his Mom, "he's nots a bad man, he was nice."
Stephanie couldn't respond, she just couldn't or she would cry so she just pointed to the corner.
Running over to the corner of the room Mikey quickly pulled out a book and climbed onto the couch with all of his stuffed animals to "read" to them.
Watching Mikey get settled on the couch she then walked over to Trish who was sat on the other side of the room, "what the fuck did you tell Hunter?"
Trish was taken aback by the language and angry tone in her voice, "I didn't tell him shit. If you really want to blame someone for Hunter's weird behaviour go talk to Jericho."
Looking at her suspiciously Stephanie wasn't sure if she was trying to take the heat off herself or telling the truth, "what do you mean?"
Trish shrugged, "Jericho said when we saw him that he would be happy to come and watch Lita in the ring as it would prevent him from putting the Walls of Jericho on Hunter. When we were ringside he said that Hunter had been in a weird mood ever since Jericho told Hunter you didn't cheat on him."
"I will fucking kill Jericho, it is none of his God damn business to tell Hunter shit about what I talked to him about."
Putting her hands up in defence Trish shrugged, "go and rip him a new one not me. All I know is I haven't told anybody who Mikey's Father is and neither will I as that is your business and not mine."
Turning to look at Mikey Stephanie contemplated whether to go and speak to Jericho or not and speaking to him won out. She was in the mood to rip into people and he would definitely deserve it, "can you watch Mikey for a few minutes please?"
Trish nodded, "it will be my pleasure." Walking over to Mikey she smiled softly at him, "what are you doing?"
Mikey looked up at Trish and held up the book, "reading."
Smiling softly she perched herself on the arm of the chair, "can I join in?"
Nodding his head he passed her the book, "you read."
Making a spot for Trish on the couch he patted the empty seat and waited for her to sit down before he cuddled into her side to listen to her read to him.
As soon as she got confirmation from Trish that she would watch Mikey Stephanie stormed out of her office and headed straight for the mens locker room banging on the door as soon as she got there.
Randy sheepishly opened the door hearing a banging and gulped seeing his boss stood there, "can I help?
"Jericho, where is he?"
Randy dumbly pointed behind him unable to form a coherent sentence as she was freaking him out.
Following the direction Randy pointed she walked into the men's locker room, "Jericho outside, I want a word."
Jericho gulped and quickly followed Stephanie outside watching as she grabbed the door and slammed it shut behind them before she hissed lowly, "what the fuck do you think you're doing telling Hunter shit I told you when we were business partners?"
"But I told you that I told him you hadn't cheated."
Glaring at him she shook her head, "you clearly told him more than that because why else would he be coming to my hotel room to fucking talk? Why else would he be being nice to a kid that twenty four hours earlier he called a brat? Now tell me the truth Jericho, what did you tell him?"
Sighing Jericho ran a hand through his hair, "I may have told him it would be in his best interests to be nicer to Mikey." He currently felt like piggy in the middle between the two of him and he wasn't really in the mood to play peacemaker, "if he still has feelings for you then that is his problem, if you still have feelings for him then that is your problem, the fact that you're both too stubborn for your own good is apparently my problem as I'm getting it from all sides."
Stephanie couldn't believe the accusation, "I do not have feelings for Hunter still."
"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. Why do you care so much about whether Hunter is nice to Mikey or not? I mean it's not like he's his Father right?"
Rubbing her temples she tried so hard to keep her temper in check and feeling her anger rising and her patience thinning she did the only thing she could do at this time and that was simply to just walk away.
