After Stephanie started making her way up the ramp to leave Jericho turned to Trish, "mind if I use this ring a minute?"
Shaking her head Trish jumped out of the ring and chased after Stephanie. When she caught up with them she said, "I'm going to catering to get a drink, do either of you want anything?"
Immediately speaking up Mikey said, "milk p'ease."
Barely biting back a groan at the fact that he would want a drink right now when she was so desperate to talk to her Dad before she lost her nerve she was barely able to form a polite response, "it looks like we're coming with you."
Seeing the irritation on Stephanie's face she had a feeling that she wanted to be a specific place and that place was not catering, "how about I take Mikey to catering to get him some milk and then I will drop him back to your Dad's office or wherever you will be on my way back to the Divas locker room?"
"Would you really? That would be a fantastic help if you could."
Smiling softly she nodded her head, "it would be my pleasure. Come on Mikey, let's go and get you some milk."
Dropping his Mom's hand he grabbed Trish's allowing Stephanie to make her way back to her Dad's office.
Walking into her Dad's office she was relieved that he was alone but frustrated that he was busy, "I need to talk to you."
Lifting his head when he heard his daughter talking he was surprised that Mikey wasn't with her, "what did you do with Mikey?"
Laughing at the way he worded it she paced in front of his desk, "he's with Trish, he wanted a drink of milk and she was going to get herself a drink so offered to take him so I could come back here."
Raising his eyebrow Vince couldn't help but notice the way she was pacing and how she seemed quite highly strung, "I'll ask about the milk issue after but for now I am concerned about you. What has happened? You seem highly stressed."
Continuing to pace she paused briefly to look at her Dad before she began pacing again trying to think of the words to explain what was going on in her head, "we want to tell people the truth."
The fact that his daughter was talking in riddles meant one thing and one thing only, this was really important to her but she was scared, "you want to tell people the truth about what? What people do you want to tell the truth to?"
Unsure of how he was going to take it she blurted it out, "we want to tell everyone, and I mean everyone, about Mikey and about our relationship."
Surprised that his daughter was willing to do that considering she had got Mikey to call Hunter by his name again he had to ask the question, "is Hunter forcing this on you?"
Shaking her head she stopped pacing and looked at her Dad, "not at all, this is all me. I don't know how to tell people Dad, I need some advice."
Vince wanted to give his daughter some really useful advice but unfortunately he could only give her options, "well from where I'm standing you have a couple of options. You can either just let Mikey call Hunter 'Dad' and let the guys find out like that or you outright tell them that Hunter is Mikey's Dad and the two of you are together, both of these options will result in the fans knowing anyway as the guys can't keep quiet or there is the option where you take the bull by the horns and go out to the ring and announce it to the world yourselves."
Her eyes widened in surprise when he suggested the last option, "you're kidding?! You really think going out to the ring and announcing it is a good option?"
Nodding his head he wasn't sure why she didn't, "well yes, why not? If you go out to the ring to do it you are telling everybody at the same time, nobody can distort your words as they will be broadcast directly from your mouth or mouths depending on if both of you go out. If you want to go that route you can do it tonight if you wish, you're dressed for the show, you're both here, it's convenient."
Unsure of how to answer that she simply said, "I'll have to talk to Hunter."
"Well don't leave it too long or the show will get booked up and there won't be time for you."
Gulping she grabbed her phone and sent her boyfriend a quick text:
I need to talk to you. It needs to be in private.
Hunter was ringside watching the guys working out when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket so he pulled it out and checked the text utterly confused by it but it sounded serious:
Now is good for me. Name a destination and I will be there.
Jumping when her phone beeped she didn't expect him to answer so quickly:
We'll meet in one of the locker rooms in one of the back corridors that nobody uses. I'll text further directions when I find one.
Looking at her Dad hopefully she didn't want Mikey around for this chat, "if I went to talk to Hunter would you watch Mikey until I returned when Trish drops him back?"
Nodding his head Vince loved spending time with his Grandson, "of course. Go and get this sorted."
Taking a deep breath she left her Dad's locker room to find an empty one.
Sitting Mikey at a table in catering Trish went and got him some milk and herself a bottle of water before she took both back to the table and sat one in front of Mikey, "there you go, enjoy."
Smiling politely he picked up his cup and took a sip, "fank 'oo."
Sitting down she undid the top on her bottle of water, "so do you like being around the arena today?"
Nodding his head he smiled brightly, "yups, lotsa fun, I miss it."
"Aww, I miss you, it's not nearly as fun without you and your Mom around."
Picking up his cup Mikey drank all of the milk in one go before setting the empty cup back on the table.
Laughing at how quickly he drank the milk Trish shook her head, "you sure did drink that fast."
"Hunner says if I drinks my milk I grow big and stwong like he is."
Smiling softly hearing Hunter having such a positive impact on Mikey warmed her heart, "that is true. You know Jeff Hardy right?" Waiting until he nodded his head to acknowledge that he knew him she then continued, "I bet when he was little he didn't drink his milk because he's all skinny now, he's not half as strong as Hunter is."
Mikey sat up tall feeling all proud of himself, "I dwinks my milk, I be big and stwong."
Chuckling she had another drink of her water before she replaced the lid, "we'd better get you back to your Mom before she thinks I kidnapped you."
Sliding off his chair Mikey took Trish's offered hand and walked with her back to find his Mom.
Arriving back at Vince's office Trish knocked on the door and pushed it open when they were invited inside. Surprised to only see Vince she didn't know what to say, "uh . . . I'm sorry. I thought Steph said that she'd be here but I must have misunderstood."
Shaking his head Vince stood up, "no it's okay, she was here but I've asked her to go and do something for me. You can leave Mikey here, she'll be back soon."
Smiling politely she kissed the top of Mikey's head, "be a good boy for your Grandpa and I will see you later hopefully."
Turning around he threw his arms around Trish's neck, "love you."
Hugging him back she smiled softly, "love you too."
When he let go of Trish Mikey ran over to the couch and climbed back on sitting his monkeys in his lap and grabbed the pen and paper to continue his drawing from earlier.
With Mikey occupied she smiled politely at her boss before she left to go and get ready for the show.
