Hunter was trying his best not to worry about the fact that Stephanie was ignoring his texts and then she was simply ignoring him. Unable to stop himself Hunter picked up his phone and texted her:

Please talk to me or at least tell me what I did wrong.

There was nothing complicated about his text, he knew it sounded desperate but he was getting desperate. He could handle not getting a response to his other texts yet but after he took Mikey back to her office earlier and she practically ignored him he just needed to know what he did wrong.

Throwing his phone back in his bag he knew that there was little chance that she would reply to him but he had to try. If she didn't reply by Wednesday then he was just going to try to call her, he had to find out where he stood with her because the not knowing was slowly killing him.

Sat with Mikey as he ate his dinner after his nap she smiled as he talked non-stop about beating Hunter in lots of matches in the ring. Her attention was drawn to her phone when it beeped and as she looked down at it and saw it was from Hunter she sighed heavily, she just couldn't get away from him.

Closing her eyes she put her phone back on the table and frowned when Mikey repeated the story about how he had repeatedly beaten Hunter. Opening her eyes again she smiled politely, "yes Mikey I know. Please finish your dinner because Mommy needs to get back to work and you need to get to bed."

Frowning Mikey shook his head, "no bed, I see Hunner."

Shaking her head in return she frowned at him, "you don't need to see Hunter before bed, you saw him plenty earlier."

"I see Hunner, please."

Letting her head fall back she stared up at the ceiling, "you're not going to go to bed until you see him are you?"

Shaking his head Mikey gave his Mom his best pout, "I sees Tishy 'fore bed so I sees Hunner too."

"Why do you want to see Hunter?

"Cos I do Mommy, please."

Surrendering she always struggled to say no to him when it was something as silly as this, "okay okay. You can only say a quick goodnight to him and then we have to go back to Mommy's office."

Clapping his hands Mikey quickly finished off his dinner before he jumped off of his seat and grabbed his Mom's hand, "come on Mommy."

Getting up she followed her son as he dragged her through the corridors, "remember though, if Hunter is busy and can't spare the time to say goodnight then you'll just have to go to bed okay?"

Not answering his Mom he kept dragging her until she stopped him, "Mikey we're here."

Stopping dead he turned around and faced the door and started to knock on it repeatedly.

Hearing the repeated knocking on the door Randy got up and went over swinging it open to rip the annoying person a new one. Opening his mouth to say something he stopped himself when he saw Stephanie and the little boy.

Seeing the door open Mikey immediately said, "Hunner p'ease."

Randy stood there with his eyebrow raised, "excuse you?"

Stephanie shook her head at Randy, "just tell us if Hunter is here or not please and if he is here ask him if he has a second to spare for Mikey."

"He's here, hang on."

Randy let the door fall closed before he turned around and walked to the far corner of the locker room to where Hunter was sat, "you have a visitor."

Lifting his head Hunter looked at him oddly, "it's an hour from show time and I have a visitor? Who?"

"Stephanie and that kid of hers. She wanted to know if you had a minute for Mikey, or at least I think that is what she called him."

Not entirely sure why they were there to see him Hunter got up from his seat on the bench and walked across the room opening the door surprised that they were still there, "hello you two."

Stephanie stood there not saying a word whilst Mikey reached his arms out to Hunter, "Hunner night."

Kneeling down on the floor he laughed softly and reached his arms out smiling as Mikey ran into them and flung his arms around his neck hugging him tightly, "fank 'oo for playing wesslers wiv me."

Hunter smiled and hugged him back, "you're very welcome. I had a lot of fun playing wrestlers with you earlier even if I'm not behind you for a title shot."

Mikey smiled brightly, "really? Mommy cans I gets a title shot please?"

Laughing at her son she shook her head, "not an official one no, you might be able to get an unofficial one if you ask nicely but I'm not sure. We really should go though Mikey, we need to let Hunter finish getting ready for the show and you need to go to bed."

Pouting Mikey slowly pulled away from Hunter, "kay Mommy. Night Hunner."

Smiling softly at the little boy he pushed himself up from the floor, "goodnight Mikey. Sleep well and be a good boy for your Mommy."

Taking his Mom's hand Mikey allowed his Mom to lead him away from Hunter.

Watching as Stephanie and Mikey walked away he didn't get it, why was Stephanie allowing him to see Mikey? He knew that Mikey was actually his son but she didn't know that he knew and she had been so funny with him that nothing she was doing or saying at the minute was making much sense.

Walking away with Mikey Stephanie knew she was giving Hunter too much contact with Mikey but at the end of the day her Dad would be back at work soon and she wouldn't be around the arenas much if at all. Her only hope right now was that Mikey's current obsession with Hunter would quickly pass. She was brought out of her thoughts when Mikey let go of her hand and ran away from her, looking at where he was heading she shook her head when she saw him running straight into Trish's arms.

Trish smiled as Mikey hugged her, "I thought you'd be in bed by now."

"I sees Hunner to says night and now I sees you to say night."

Chuckling she nodded her head, "you sure are. You like Hunter today don't you?"

Nodding his head he smiled brightly, "lots, he lets me win."

Ruffling his hair she was amused by his behaviour, "yes he did. He's a good man."

"Yups."

Stephanie sighed softly feeling like a broken record, "come on Mikey, we need to let Trish finished getting ready."

Letting go of Trish he held his Mom's hand again, "night Tishy."

Trish smiled and waved at Mikey, "night Mikey." Lifting her head she looked at Stephanie, "once I've wrestled and showered I'll drop by to watch Mikey whilst you finish things off."

"Thanks Trish, it's much appreciated."

Tugging gently on Mikey's hand she led him back to her office to get him to 'bed'.
