Walking Mikey back to her office she couldn't get Hunter and his behaviour off of her mind. So distracted by her thoughts she failed to register Chris Jericho stood in front of her until she walked straight into the back of him.

Mikey stood there giggling as his Mom tried to regain her bearings, "yous walked into him."

Jericho turned around at the rough push he had gotten from behind to come face to face with Stephanie, "do you need an eye test?"

Laughing softly she shook her head, "no, I just need to stop thinking about something."

"Or someone."

Glaring at Jericho she shook her head, "if you will excuse us it is nearly somebody's bedtime."

With that she walked past Jericho pulling Mikey behind her as she wasn't in the mood to deal with Jericho and his stupid comments.

When they reached her office she quickly walked inside and shut the door before motioning to the couch, "go and take a seat and I will get a book to read to you."

Mikey climbed up onto the couch pulling some of his toys onto his lap for story time as Stephanie rifled through the suitcase until she found the book she was looking for. Once she had the book she took a seat on the couch next to him and opened it and started to read to him.

Finishing the last page she closed the book before turning to look at Mikey to see him sound asleep. Smiling softly she got up from the couch and placed the book on her desk before she carefully picked Mikey up and lay him down properly on the couch before sitting his toys on the arm of the couch except Bubbles which she put under his arm and then covered him with a blanket.

Turning around she picked up the book and put it back in the suitcase before she went back to her desk and sat down and started to work hard wanting to tie up all of the loose ends before she left so it was all ready for whomever she got to take over.

A couple of hours and a few quiet interruptions later and Trish was stood in front of her, "hey."

Trish smiled and whispered, "hey. I'm all done and ready so I can sit with Mikey for you."

Smiling softly Stephanie tapped away on the laptop a couple of times saving the work and sending an e-mail before she shut her laptop down, "thank you Trish. I've got a few loose ends to tie up tonight but I will try not to be too long."

Trish shrugged as she set her suitcase down in the corner, "doesn't bother me, I've got nothing to do as I'm not flying home until the morning so take your time."

Once her laptop had shut down Stephanie shut the lid before turned it upside down to cool down and stood up, "thank you for this."

Shrugging Trish pulled a magazine out of her bag, "my pleasure."

Walking out of her office Stephanie went to get on with her work.

Once Stephanie had left Trish opened her suitcase again and pulled out the papers that Mikey had coloured in earlier and also his crayons, walking across the room placed the crayons in the open suitcase which had all of Mikey's toys in and placed the papers neatly in the suitcase slightly hidden from Stephanie's view.

Deciding to make sure it wouldn't be obvious what she had added to the suitcase Trish packed Mikey's cuddly toys into the suitcase and closed the lid to make sure it would shut. Once she was sure it would shut she opened it again incase she had missed anything before she went and took a seat at the desk to read her magazine.

After tying up all of the loose ends Stephanie headed back to her office ready to get out of here and get home with her son never to set foot in an arena again. She was mere feet from her office when she heard her name being called from behind so she turned around to come face to face with Jericho, "can I help you?"

Jericho came running up to her, "yeah. What the hell did I do wrong earlier?"

Sighing softly she ran her fingers through her hair, "I'm sorry. My mind was elsewhere as I had so much going around in my head."

"That's all well and good but like you acted like I'd pissed you off."

"No it wasn't you, trust me. I had a mental check list of a million things I needed to get done tonight and I was more worried about finishing it all off rather than being polite."

Laughing he smiled at her, "thanks I feel the love. I guess I can forgive that though. I'll see you next week?"

Even though she knew she wasn't going to be there she didn't plan on telling anyone so she nodded her head absently, "sure."

Waving her hand she turned around and walked the few steps to her office slowly opening the door to see Mikey still sound asleep and Trish sat reading her magazine, "how was he?"

Shutting her magazine Trish smiled at Stephanie, "he didn't stir once so it was quite relaxed. I packed up his toys for you whilst I was bored."

Laughing softly Stephanie packed away her laptop, "thank you for that."

Heading over to the suitcase in the corner of the room she shut the lid and did it up before she lifted the suitcase so it was standing, "well I'm ready to go so thank you for this Trish."

Standing up Trish put her magazine back in her suitcase, "it was my pleasure. Why don't I take all of the suitcases and you can take Mikey so you don't have to wake him just yet?"

Pulling on her jacket Stephanie smiled and nodded, "thank you, for everything, you've been a real godsend."

Gathering all of the suitcases together for Trish she then went over to Mikey and carefully picked him up keeping the blanket wrapped around him so he stayed warm before they headed for the exit to get in the limo and head to the airport.

A relatively short ride later and they pulled up outside of the airport. As the door opened and Trish climbed out Stephanie felt bad that Mikey had grown so attached to her and this may be the last time he would see her.

Reluctantly Stephanie shook Mikey's shoulder gently to wake him up before they headed inside to check in. As he slowly woke up Mikey looked around worriedly but when he saw his Mom he felt more relaxed, "where are we?"

"We're in the limo outside of the airport baby, you just need to wake up whilst we go through security okay and then you can go back to sleep."

Nodding his head he sleepily smiled, "kay."

Climbing out of the limo Stephanie helped Mikey out before she took a couple of the suitcases from Trish, "the limo will stay to take you back to the hotel so don't worry."

Trish laughed softly, "you read my mind, thank you. Come on then and let's get you inside for your flight."

Taking hold of Mikey's hand Stephanie led him inside to go and check in. Once they were checked in they headed through towards security before their flight.

Knowing this was as far as Trish could go Stephanie stopped and turned to face the blonde, "thank you for everything Trish, I honestly couldn't have survived these past two days without you."

Shrugging her shoulders Trish looked between Stephanie and Mikey, "it was truly my pleasure, it was nice to be able to feel useful whilst at the shows."

Smiling softly Stephanie knelt down next to Mikey and whispered in his ear, "go and give Trish a big hug and kiss and say goodbye."

Frowning but doing as his Mom asked Mikey ran the few steps to Trish and hugged her tightly, "bye bye."

Kneeling down the blonde hugged the little boy back, "it's more like so long Mikey as I'm sure I'll see you next week."

Gulping Stephanie realised she'd have to tell Trish, "actually you won't. I texted my Mom earlier to let her know I'd find somebody else to take over the shows until my Dad can come back."

Trish's eyes widened as she stood back up, "what? Why? If it's Mikey then I can watch him more."

Shaking her head Stephanie looked nervous, "it's not you, it's not Mikey, it's not the work it's . . . you know."

Sighing heavily Trish was disappointed, "whatever he did I will kill him for it."

"He didn't technically do anything, I just can't be around him as he seems to want to pretend the last four years didn't happen and I just can't do it. I can't go to work every day and look at my son and then look at him playing Mr Nice Guy with my son and not feel guilt that he has no idea. I can't go to work every day for him to spend the entire time trying to talk to me and for things to go there. I have built these walls to protect my son and I won't let him bring them tumbling down, I have to be strong and I have to make a stand and that stand is I need to stay far away from him."

Trish had always known Stephanie to be strong willed and she could see it now, "I'm not going to change your mind am I?"

Stephanie shook her head, "no you won't. My mind is made up and I am doing what's best for me and what is best for my son and that is staying far away from the WWE. My home is always open to you though so whenever you're in the area give me a call and you can come by but I just can't let him back in."

Nodding her head Trish stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Stephanie in a tight hug, "I understand, I may not like it but I understand why you are doing what you're doing."

Pulling back from the hug with Stephanie she turned her attention to Mikey, "you be a good boy for your Mommy and I will see you soon."

"Luv you Tishy."

Smiling brightly Trish liked hearing that from him, "I love you too Mikey."

Stephanie took hold of Mikey's hand, "come on then, let's get going. Bye Trish and thank you."

Trish stood there and smiled softly waving at them as they walked off and through security out of her sight before she turned around to head back to the limo to go to the hotel.

It wasn't until she was sat on the plane, Mikey was sound asleep and they were in the air that Stephanie allowed herself a moment to relax and reflect. Wiping at a solitary tear that ran down her cheek she sighed heavily, if she was doing the right thing why did it hurt so bad?
