Leaving Jericho Stephanie went to the one place she knew she could get some peace and quiet, the stands in the arena. Slipping into the main part of the arena through one of the back doors she climbed the stairs and took a seat in one of the rows to watch people working around the arena but being far enough away that they wouldn't bother her.

Watching everyone quietly get on with their business gave her some much needed time to reflect and she had come to a decision. Pulling her phone from her pocket she typed out a quick text:

I can't do this. I will spend the rest of the week finding somebody to take over from me. Steph xx

Sighing heavily she put her phone back in her pocket and went back to people watching. She would have to head back to her office soon to relieve Trish of Mikey and also to get back to work but right now she was too stressed and worked up which meant she might snap at someone and that was the last thing she wanted to do.

Just as she was about to get up and go back to work she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. When she pulled it out she wasn't surprised to see that it was from her Mom, reluctantly she opened the text to read:

Why? What has happened? Mom xx

Laughing softly she shook her head and typed back a response:

Try asking what hasn't happened. Hunter was nice to Mikey and now Mikey likes him, Jericho is accusing me of having feelings for Hunter still and nobody is doing as I tell them to. Steph xx

Waiting a minute to see if her Mom would reply immediately or not she continued to sit exactly where she was staring at the phone in her hand watching and waiting until finally it vibrated in her hands and lit up. Knowing exactly who it was she didn't even bother reading the text notification and just opened it:

Well you do still love him don't you? As for Mikey liking Hunter isn't that a good thing? Why not just stick it out? It'll only be for a few more weeks. Mom xx

Growing more frustrated by the minute she typed back a response:

This isn't up for discussion. My decision is final and you will just have to deal with it. Steph xx

Standing up she slipped the phone back into her pocket and walked away ignoring her phone as it buzzed in her pocket as she made her way back to her office.

Walking into her office she smiled softly seeing Mikey curled up against Trish as she continued to read to him, "having fun you two?"

Mikey's head snapped up and he immediately climbed off the couch and ran over to Stephanie, "Mommy! I missed you."

Chuckling softly she bent down and hugged her son, "I wasn't gone that long."

Grabbing his Mom's hand he tugged on it gently, "comes reads with us."

Shaking her head she frowned a little, "I'm sorry baby but I can't, I have work to do and I'm sure Trish has things she needs to be getting on with too."

Nodding sadly Trish agreed with Stephanie, "your Mom is right, I need to go and sort some stuff about before the show, I might see you later though if your Mom needs me to watch you."

Stephanie knew when it came down to it Trish wouldn't take it well when she told her they weren't coming back next week but she would just have to deal with it just like Mikey would however that didn't stop the fact that she would need her help, "if you wouldn't mind please. I won't be as late tonight though with it being a taped show so hopefully you won't miss your flight."

Laughing softly Trish got up from the couch, "it's no big deal to me, I'm not flying home until the morning so you can be as late as you want. When are you guys flying home?"

Groaning Stephanie hated remember it, "tonight. Somehow I have to struggle through the airport with a most likely sleeping Mikey and all of our bags, fun times."

Trish laughed softly, "well I can probably help you with that too but for now I have to leave so I will see you both later."

Walking past Stephanie and Mikey Trish left the office and headed back to the Divas locker room whilst Stephanie moved to sit at her desk, "Mikey why don't you go and play with some toys a minute whilst Mommy does some work and then we will get something to eat okay?"

Nodding his head obediently Mikey went and rifled through the suitcase until he found something he wanted to do.

Sitting down at her desk Stephanie pulled out a pen and a piece of paper, she should have done this yesterday but because Trish spent so long in her hotel room she didn't have time.

Picking up the pen she started to write:

Dear Hunter,

Yesterday you met your son for the very first time. After you scared him half to death you proceeded to call him a brat for no real reason.

I was really angry with you not just for the way you spoke to me but for calling your son a brat. I know you didn't know he was your son but I expected a lot better from you even if you hate my guts he never did anything to you to warrant that sort of hatred.

This morning you came to my hotel room and said you wanted to talk, I don't know how you got my hotel room number and quite frankly I don't even care how you go it but I do care about your random appearance. No matter what you have to say nothing will make up for not believing me when I told you I wasn't lying four years ago and now you only have yourself to blame that you don't have your son in your life.

Jericho told me that he told you that I hadn't cheated on you and that is why today you have been acting really funny and actually being nice to Mikey. I don't know what game you are playing but I will not allow you to fuck around with my son's emotions because he doesn't deserve it.

Stephanie

Folding the letter up she put safely in her laptop bag hiding it from the rest of the world ready to add to the rest of the collections of letters at home.

Once the letter was in the bag she tossed the pen onto the desk before she stood up, "I don't know about you Mikey but I'm starving, who here wants to join me?"

Mikey's ears perked up at the mention of food and he was quick to raise his hand before he raised Bubbles' arm too, "we do."

Laughing softly she reached her hand out towards him, "come on then."

Mikey ran over to her holding Bubbles with his one hand before he grabbed hold of his Mom's hand and walked out of the office with her.
