Arriving at the arena early on Monday morning Hunter was hoping to grab Stephanie for a quick chat before everyone arrived and it got a little crazy. Upon walking into the arena he quickly became aware that he was one of the first people there and Stephanie definitely hadn't arrived yet.

She knew she would be cutting it fine to get to the arena on time on Monday but after the drama in the offices on Saturday she had just put off her flight until Monday morning to try and save her sanity. Luckily for Stephanie Mikey was okay with putting off the flight and was seemingly relaxed about the entire thing as long as they eventually got to the arena.

Arriving into town just before eleven on Monday morning Stephanie knew she should realistically have been at the arena by now but they wouldn't miss her not being there just yet, nothing could possibly have gone wrong this early in the morning. Turning to Mikey to see him holding Bubbles and the new monkey Hunter had bought him tightly against his chest she reached her hand out towards him, "come on baby. We have about a thirty minute drive across town and then we will be at the arena and you can see Trish."

Walking the few steps it would take for him to be beside his Mom Mikey eventually took hold of her hand, "kay."

Leading the little boy towards the limo she was grateful that he was so easy going.

Trish had arrived at the arena quite early due to the time of her flight so after dumping her bags in the locker room she went to wait near the entrance for Lita to arrive making sure she had her phone with her to keep her occupied as she waited.

Hunter had waited thirty minutes after his arrival before he went off in search of Stephanie. First he tried what was designated as her office but finding that empty he decided to check outside to see if she had arrived and was just hanging around outside with Mikey. Walking outside he looked around and frowned not seeing her anywhere around. Turning around he headed straight back into the arena failing to see Trish leaning against the wall as he passed her but he did notice a worker coming towards him, "hey you, is Stephanie McMahon here yet please?"

Trish had only been playing with her phone so had heard Hunter ask the question and deciding to put him out of his misery early and hopefully taking the heat off of some poor worker she spoke up, "she's not coming."

Spinning around to face the voice he frowned seeing Trish leaning against the wall, "what do you mean Trish?"

Turning to the side she leant her shoulder on the wall facing Hunter, she was well aware that things could kick off but right now he seemed surprisingly calm, "when I dropped her and Mikey off at the airport last week she said she was going to find somebody else to run the shows as it was too hard for her."

Walking over to Trish he leant his shoulder on the wall mirroring her position with a frown now present on his face, "oh. I was really hoping she would be here because I wanted to talk to her."

Deciding to push her luck she decided to push him on why, "why do you want to talk to her? If you don't mind me asking that is."

Gulping Hunter decided to just be honest with her, "truthfully I wanted to talk to her because I sent Mikey a box of toys and her a bunch of flowers just to say sorry for everything and I told her I wanted to talk to her and I've heard nothing from her since and I just wondered if she had them and if she is willing to talk to me."

Trish's eyebrow raised, "you bought them stuff to say sorry? Who are you and what have you done with Hunter we love to hate?"

Laughing he shook his head, "no, you just hated me. I spoke with my Dad, he talked some sense into me and said I should apologise for acting like an asshole so I did. I just hope she doesn't think I'm trying to buy anything."

Shrugging her shoulders Trish couldn't answer that, "I can text her after and find out if she got the stuff if you want?"

Hunter opened his mouth to respond but he saw the door open behind Trish and then he saw Stephanie and Mikey walk in. As they did he saw Mikey's eyes widen at the recognition of spotting someone but he thought Mikey had recognised Trish from behind as he started running towards them, "prepare for a hug in three . . . two . . ."

Before Trish could ask a question or Hunter could finish counting from three to one Mikey collided with his legs hugging him tightly, "thank oo."

Stephanie gulped when she saw Hunter stood talking to someone who she thought looked like Trish. Without having the chance to say anything to Mikey he went running off and she found herself frozen to the spot watching as Mikey went flying towards the both of them and when he collided with Hunter's legs hugging him tightly she gulped fighting back tears.

Convinced that Mikey was running towards them for Trish he was slightly taken aback when he collided with his legs hugging him. Taking a moment before his brain caught up with the situation, when it did he gently took hold of Mikey's arms from around his legs he then knelt down in front of the little boy, "hi."

When Stephanie saw Hunter take Mikey's hands and removed them from around his leg she gulped, she was going to kill him if he hurt her son.

Mikey's eyes widened and his bottom lip started to quiver at the thought of being rejected by Hunter and he didn't know why but when he came face to face with Hunter and he now wore a soft smile on his face and he immediately flung his arms around his neck holding on tightly.

Hunter was shocked when Mikey flung his arms around his neck but wanting to prove a point to himself and to Stephanie he returned the hug making sure to not squeeze him too tightly. Once Mikey released his grip on his neck Hunter pulled back a little but remained on his knees in front of Mikey so they were eye to eye, "what did I do to deserve that Mikey?"

Smiling shyly at the man in front of him he thrust his new monkey out towards him, "you gives me this and uvvers. I wants to fank you."

Returning the smile of the little boy he reached out and stroked the head of the monkey thrust towards him, "you're very welcome. As I said in the note, if your Mom read it to you, I wanted to say I'm sorry for last week and maybe one day we can be friends?"

Eagerly nodding his head Mikey pulled the monkey back to his chest and nodded his head, "fwends."

Smiling happily Hunter stood back up and gently ruffled the little boy's hair, "I've got to get going to work out but I'm sure I'll see you later."

Stephanie had eventually found the strength to walk closer to them and now stood side by side with Trish as Hunter and Mikey interacted watching them carefully to make sure that Hunter didn't put a foot wrong.

As soon as Hunter said he was leaving Mikey turned and flung his arms around Trish's legs, "Tishy!"

Trish just laughed and bent down picking Mikey up and held him close to her, "hello handsome."

Mikey just wrapped his arms around Trish's neck and rested his head on her shoulder happy to be with her again when he didn't think he would ever see her again.

Seeing Mikey occupied with Trish Hunter stepped closer to Stephanie, "did you get the flowers?"

Gulping when Hunter stepped closer to her she nodded her head, "yes. Thank you for the flowers, you didn't have to do that though."

Shrugging his shoulders Hunter thrust his hands into his pockets, "I wanted to though, I wanted to say sorry for like everything because I . . ." Trailing off he didn't want to have this conversation now where anybody could hear, "umm yeah, can we talk please?"

Looking at her watch she was pleased to see she didn't have time to talk to him now, she wasn't sure if she was ready to actually talk to him, "not right now. I'm already late so have got stuff to do and then I've got to sort Mikey out with lunch and then do more work."

Lifting his head from where he had it laying on Trish's shoulder he looked at his Mom, "Tishy will eat wiv me."

Chuckling softly Stephanie shook her head, "Trish probably has things she has to do before the show, I don't think she will have time to take you to lunch."

Knowing exactly what Stephanie was doing Trish wanted to do something to push her in the right direction, "actually I'd be happy to take Mikey to lunch, we can have ourselves a little date."

Mikey nodded his head eagerly, "date."

Looking at Stephanie hopefully he knew he would be pushing his luck but he had to try, "what about whilst Mikey and Trish have lunch I grab some food and we eat in your office and talk at the same time?"

Looking at Trish and trying not to glare at her Stephanie turned her attention to Hunter, "okay sure. Come by my office about one and you must bring food or you're not being allowed in."

Laughing softly he nodded his head, "you have yourself a deal, thank you Stephanie. Now I really must go so I will see you all later."

Rubbing Mikey's back gently he turned around and headed back for the locker room.

As soon as Hunter had left Stephanie turned to Trish and fully glared at her, "I could kill you."

Mikey tightened his grip on Trish's neck, "no! I luvs Tishy."

Rubbing her temples Stephanie just shook her head and walked away dragging the bags behind her.
