Having walked away from Trish leaving Mikey with her Stephanie went straight to her office and walked in resisting the urge to throw the bags down, this day was not quite going as she had hoped it would do. Flopping into her office chair she rested her arms on the desk before she put her head on them in a desire to hide from the world or just sleep the rest of the day away.

Trish had given Stephanie a minute before she carried Mikey towards Stephanie's office chuckling lowly when she saw Stephanie with her head buried in her arms, "having a good day are we?"

Lifting her head to look at Trish she rolled her eyes, "oh yes, it is just wonderful thank you."

Putting Mikey on the floor as he started to wriggle Trish walked over to the desk perching herself on the edge of it, "cheer up, it could be worse."

Looking at Trish like she had lost her mind she was starting to think she was the only sane person left in the world, "and that would be how?"

Smiling playfully she simply said, "you could be at home and have missed out on all of this fun."

Shaking her head Stephanie had no idea what to say to Trish that was polite with Mikey being in the room as this was certainly not fun for her, "yeah, you're lucky Mikey is in this room."

Laughing Trish moved to help Mikey open the suitcase as he was struggling with the zip, "so what time shall I come and pick Mikey up for our lunch date?"

Shrugging her shoulders Stephanie waved her hand around dismissively, "I told Hunter about one so maybe about one thirty?"

Turning her head to look at Stephanie she raised her eyebrow, "it's going to be like that is it?"

Resting back in the chair Stephanie raked her fingers through her hair, "I'm nervous okay? What is he going to say to me? I don't know that I want to hear it, I kind of just want to be kept in the dark about it all."

Once the suitcase was open Trish moved to sit on the couch looking at Stephanie, "but think of all of the good that could come out of it. All of your dreams could come true."

"Yeah and so could all of my nightmares."

Pulling her phone from her pocket when it vibrated Trish took a quick look at the screen, "okay I've got to get going but if you think like that then your nightmares will come true. You just need to relax and give him a chance. I will be back about ten to one to pick Mikey up and then I will take him to have lunch with me and I will bring him back when he gets sick of me."

Stephanie couldn't help but laugh, "so that'll be in about a week then. He loves you, he won't get sick of you."

Shrugging her shoulders Trish stood up and put her phone back in her pocket, "then I'll bring him back when you text me and tell me you're done talking with Hunter. I will see you later though. Bye Mikey."

Mikey waved at Trish as he pulled his colouring book and crayons from the suitcase to sit down and just colour for a bit.

As soon as Trish had left Stephanie pulled her laptop out to start it up and get some work done before she checked on how the arena was coming together for the show.

An hour after she had begun her work Stephanie decided to take a break and go and check on the arena. Saving her work on her laptop she closed the lid before she pushed her chair back, "are you ready to go and have a look at how the arena is shaping up Mikey?"

Lifting his head from his colouring book he looked at his Mom hopefully, "can I gets in da ring please?"

Shrugging her shoulders she couldn't answer that right now, "maybe? I don't know Mikey, we will have to see if anybody is in it."

Pushing himself up from the floor he grabbed Bubbles and the new monkey Hunter had bought him and held them tightly, "kay, I ready."

Standing up from her seat Stephanie shook her head, "don't you want to leave Bubbles and the monkey yet to be named here?"

Shaking his head Mikey held them both a little closer, "no! They coming wiv me."

Sighing softly she rested her hand on his shoulder and steered him out of her office towards the inside of the arena.

Having checked on how everything was being set up all around the arena Stephanie was now stood with Mikey at the top of the ramp as Chris Jericho worked out in the ring, "cans I say hi Mommy?"

Laughing softly she nodded her head, "sure, just don't get in his way."

Mikey clapped his hands excitedly before he set off down the ramp until he was stood beside the ring, "hi Jerky."

Jericho was caught up in his workout in the ring when he heard a little voice calling him 'Jerky' and he knew exactly who it was so he stopped what he was doing and went and leant on the ropes looking down at him, "hello Mikey."

Mikey waved at Jericho, "cans I come in peas?"

Shaking his head Jericho immediately climbed out of the ring and jumped down to the floor, "sure. I was just passing time anyway so not a problem."

Picking Mikey up he carefully placed him on the apron before he guided him into the ring and then slid himself back into the ring beneath the bottom rope, "you can run around as much as you want."

Mikey's eyes lit up with excitement before he started running around in circles in the ring.

Stephanie had watched Mikey with Jericho as she slowly walked down the ramp until she stood beside the ring as Mikey ran around inside it, "you didn't have to interrupt your workout for him Chris, he has to learn that he can't get everything he wants."

Turning his head to look at Stephanie Chris raised his eyebrow, I'm getting the feeling this isn't all about Mikey. He's doing no harm, I was basically done anyway but was waiting for lunchtime as I'm starving."

Glaring at Jericho she shook her head, "I have no idea what you are talking about."

Laughing Jericho was about to respond when Mikey stopped in front of him, "we gots to teach Bubbles bruver to wrestle."

Sitting up a little Jericho took 'Bubbles' brother' from Mikey's outstretched hand, "well I've not seen this one before. Who gave him to you?"

Answering as if it was the most normal answer ever Mikey simply said, "Hunter."

Standing up Jericho looked at Stephanie as he answered Mikey, "he did huh? Well isn't that nice of him?"

Rolling her eyes Stephanie crossed her arms over her chest, "what is everybody's obsession with saying it is nice? I thought everyone hated him."

Jericho couldn't help but be amused by Stephanie's sheer frustration that people thought what Hunter was doing was nice, "Trish told me about your little date but it's true, buying Mikey a new monkey is nice. I don't hate him, I never did, I just hated the way he behaved but he has turned over a new leaf in the past week."

She snorted and shook her head, "sure he has. I'm not getting back together with him."

"I don't think anyone said you should but clearly you want to."

Throwing her hands up in the air in exasperation she shook her head, "just go away."

Turning his attention back to Mikey with a smirk on his face Jericho was more than happy with his work, getting under Stephanie's skin about Hunter was too much fun and apparently way too easy also.

As frustrated as she was with Jericho for what he was saying and the way he was behaving right now she couldn't help but wonder if he was right, if she really did want to get back with him.
