After spending a good half an hour playing wrestlers with Hunter getting pinned by Mikey every single time more wrestlers started to come down to ringside wanting to use the ring so Trish knew it was about time that she took Mikey back to Stephanie, "Mikey we need to go so the other wrestlers can use the ring."
Nodding his head sadly he knew he had to share the ring with them, "kay."
Climbing out of the ring Hunter stood on the floor as Mikey grabbed his monkeys, "would it be a bad idea for me to accompany the two of you back to Stephanie's office?"
Trish shrugged her shoulders, she didn't see why he couldn't because Stephanie knew that he may have been going down to the ring with them, "nah, I think you'll live if you come with us."
Opening the ropes for Mikey Trish could see that Mikey was looking sleepy, "I think we've worn him out."
Making sure Mikey got out of the ring safely Hunter had the same thought, "I think so too. Shall I carry him back to Stephanie's office?"
Mikey didn't like being carried but he liked it when his Grandpa used to put him on his shoulders, "soldiers!"
Chuckling at the idea Trish wondered if Hunter would agree, "you want to ride on Hunter's shoulders?"
Nodding his head Mikey looked hopeful, "yes p'ease."
Not sure how they would navigate the arena with Mikey on his shoulders Hunter wasn't about to say no to him either, "sure but you'll have to hold on tightly."
"I wills, I wills."
Climbing out of the ring Trish jumped to the floor, "how are you going to get him on your shoulders?"
Looking at Mikey he tried to work it out so it would be safe, "if he sits on the apron I can kneel in front of him and you can help him onto my shoulders?"
"That works for me Hunter." Turning her attention to Mikey she smiled softly, "can I have your monkeys please so I can look after them and you can hold onto Hunter?"
Pouting Mikey held them close, "they wants ride too."
Hunter had an idea, "why don't we get them to hang on also?"
Looking at Hunter like he was crazy Trish shook her head until Mikey handed Hunter one of his monkey and she watched him place it just beneath the top of his t-shirt with its arms over the top like it was holding on, "you're crazy."
Shrugging his shoulders he just cared about whether Mikey was happy or not and he was now giggling and seemed to think it was a good idea as he passed him Bubbles to do the same with. Once he had the monkeys safely under his shirt Hunter knelt on the floor in front of Mikey as Trish sat him down and he backed up until he had Mikey's legs over his shoulders and he carefully picked him up.
Watching Hunter really carefully as he picked Mikey up Trish was ready to grab him or tell Hunter to put him down but Mikey's squeal of excitement was something she wasn't going to stop. Falling into step beside Hunter she kept a close eye on both him and Mikey as he horsed around a little whilst keeping a firm grip on the little boy.
Spending time with Mikey just relaxing and having fun was exactly what the Doctor had ordered for Hunter as he had been stressing out so much about Stephanie that this just took his mind off of it all and he didn't worry. Once they got backstage he stopped horsing around with Mikey and just walked sensibly as it was quite a dangerous area.
Reaching Stephanie's office Hunter knew it was time to put Mikey down, "okay this is you. Do you think you can walk in all by yourself."
Mikey kept a tight grip on Hunter, "noooo, cawwy me."
Looking between Trish and the closed door Hunter wasn't sure what he could do, "I don't think we'll fit as one beneath this door."
Trish nodded her head, "Hunter is right Mikey, I don't think he can carry you on his shoulders through the door unless you can duck really really low."
Keeping a tight grip on Hunter Mikey bent forward as best he could, "likes dis?"
Hunter looked at Trish to know whether it would work and she nodded her head, "as long as Hunter bends his knees a little you will be fine."
Knocking on Stephanie's office door she smiled when she invited them in so she pushed the door open and jammed it open before she turned back to Hunter, "okay we're ready."
Stephanie sat there feeling panicked as she watched Hunter with Mikey on his shoulders as he was going to attempt to carry him through the door, she wanted to call him crazy but he didn't want to distract him. Frozen to her spot she watched as Hunter bent his knees keeping his eyes locked on Trish as she nodded her head and guided him through the door and once they were both inside Mikey sat straight up, "Mommy look."
Chuckling as she looked up at her son she shook her head, "you're spoiled, Hunter you really shouldn't have done that."
Shrugging his shoulders he had a feeling he was about to get told off, "he looked tired, I thought it would be easier to carry him."
Walking over to the couch he slowly got down onto his knees and waited as Trish helped Mikey off his shoulders and onto the couch. Once Mikey was safe Hunter stood back up and pulled the monkey's from his t-shirt and handed them back to Mikey, "there you go. I should get going and leave you and your Mom to it but I'm sure I'll see you later."
Nodding his head Mikey smiled brightly, "fank 'oo for da ride."
Unable to stop himself Hunter leant forward and pressed a soft kiss to the top of his head, "you're very welcome. I had a lot of fun today but remember our little secret, you can't tell anyone that I lost like a hundred matches to you okay?"
Giggling Mikey nodded his head, "'kay."
Standing back up Hunter turned to Stephanie, "I'd better get going and leave you to it, I'm sorry if we wore him out too much."
Stephanie was just frozen to the spot staring at Hunter unable to coherently answer him.
Not really understanding the weird look or vibe he was getting from Stephanie he turned to Trish, "I'll catch you later."
Trish nodded her head, "you will. Thank you for this afternoon Hunter, I couldn't have done it without you."
"It was nothing, really it wasn't because I had a lot of fun and it was nice to take my mind off of things for a while. See you later."
"Bye Hunter."
Trish watched as Hunter left Stephanie's office before she went over to the door and unjammed it so she could close it. Once the door was closed she turned back to Stephanie, "we need to talk."
