Stephanie lay on her bed glancing over at her clock as it read 3am, she hadn't been able to sleep and it was no surprise really she was nervous about talking to Paul later on today. She knew exactly what was going to happen and while a part of her knew it was wrong what they could be doing, she also wanted this. Stephanie turned over thinking of Randy, he hadn't even called to see how she was doing it was if he didn't care about her at all. At first she could understand him being upset about her not telling him the truth but to completely ignore her hurt alot, not to mention it was a very touchy subject to begin with. Stephanie hadn't heard Randy's side of the story, but from what Paul had told her it was a big thing and not surprising both father and son had issues with each other.

Realizing she wouldn't be going to sleep anytime soon she sat up grabbing a dressing gown and wrapped it around herself, she headed downstairs, perhaps a drink would settle her and help her sleep. Stephanie opened the kitchen door switching the light on, she covered her eyes trying to adjust to the light. Stephanie grabbed a glass from the cupboard filling it with orange juice, the cool liquid felt good against her throat. Stephanie sat on the kitchen counter everything was so quiet and peaceful down here, it was a nice change compared to the usual shouting and arguing that had become almost daily. She continued sipping at her orange until the glass was empty, finally she decided to go back to bed hoping to atleast get a few hours sleep before she needed to be up.

Stephanie put the last egg onto the plate finishing making the breakfast. She checked the time it was almost 7:45am and neither Paul or Kurt where downstairs.

"Hey" Smiled Kurt coming down fully dressed

"Morning is Paul up yet?" Asked Stephanie

"I haven't seen him" Said Kurt which was a change as usually Paul was pushing past him to get to the bathroom.

"Grab you're breakfast i'm gonna check to see if he's up" Said Stephanie wiping her hands just as she was about to go upstairs she bumped into Paul.

"You're awake" Said Stephanie looking away and running her fingers through her hair.

"Yeah why wouldn't i be" Said Paul casually

"We never heard you that's all" Answered Stephanie

Paul just shrugged before sitting down at the table with Kurt eating his breakfast, she turned around grabbing a cup of coffee though personally she would prefer something stronger especially since she would be talking to Paul sometime today. She still didn't know when that would be as he was going to school and when he got back Kurt would be home.

"I'm going to school" Said Kurt interupting her thoughts

"Ok...Paul you can take him"

"I'm not ready yet" Said Paul

"As your in the car you can leave later anyway" Said Stephanie not wanting to be alone with Paul just yet.

"Why do i have to take him?" Mumbled Paul

"Well it's silly for you to go seperately when your both going the same way" Explained Stephanie

"She's right" Said Kurt

"Shut up" Said Paul causing Kurt to quickly leave the kitchen

"We'll talk later i promise" Said Stephanie bending down and whispering in Paul's ear.

Paul looked up at her before grabbing his leather Jacket and putting it on, he waited for Kurt before picking up his bag on the way out as the two boys headed for School.

Stephanie waved to them both shutting the door behind her, she needed to find a way to get Kurt out of the house later on so she could have this talk with Paul. She thought for a few moments before coming up with an idea, she grabbed the phone dialing the familiar number and waiting for a response.

"Hello?"

"Mom are you busy tonight?" Asked Stephanie hopefully

"No why?"

"Would you be able to take Kurt for a few hours?"

"Sure, are you and Randy talking again?" Asked Linda

"I just need some time to myself that's all" Lied Stephanie

"Oh ok what about Paul?"

"He's going out with some friends tonight so i thought it would be a good opportunity to get some me time" Lied Stephanie

"Ok well what time do you want me to come and get him?" Asked Linda

"Come at 4 so he has time to get home and everything"

"Ok i'll see you at 4 then bye"

"Bye" Replied Stephanie hanging up, she still had a pile of dishes that needed doing, but right now she was more concerned about what she was going to say to Paul later on. Her son would be out the way so there would be no interuptions, Stephanie didn't know if that was a good or a bad thing however.

Paul threw some books into his locker before shutting it, he had hardly been able to concentrate today though most days Paul had problems concentrating in School. He didn't want to admit that the reason he couldn't concentrate was because he was thinking about Stephanie, she had promised they would talk later on but he doubted that since they wouldn't be alone. Kurt would be there so it would simply be another excuse and she'd tell him they'd talk tomorrow which would never come about.

"Paul" Shouted Shawn joining his friend

"Hey" Smiled Paul

"So...fancy pissin' some people off?"

"Teachers?" Asked Paul

"Oh yeah come on i have the perfect plan"

Paul followed Shawn as they went to the boys bathroom, Shawn smirked at his friend checking the cubicles to make sure they were alone. He pulled out a pack of condoms and sachets of mayonaise.

"Condoms?" Inquired Paul

"Umhum...what i needed was something small and i have an unlimited supply"

"Yeah cause you never get any" Joked Paul

"Ha...anyway we need to fill these up and deliver them personally to the Principal" Explained Shawn

"Sweet"

"This may be our greatest feat yet" Laughed Shawn wiping away an imaginary tear

Paul nudged his friend as they began ripping open the packet of condoms and filling them with mayonaise, it could take awhile to do but it would be definitely worth it just to see the look on the Principal's face once they were done.

A little while later and they had filled the bottom of all the condoms with mayonaise, Shawn had managed to "borrow" a stapler so they could "decorate" the School. Paul did the stapling while Shawn kept on watch to make sure no one caught them, he stapled the final two condoms onto the principal's door before both of the boys made a quick exit.

"What the..." Said the Principal quickly getting up and opening the door only to be horrified at what he discovered, it looked to be two condoms with...well he didn't want to know what was inside of them, he looked around to see it wasn't just his door that had been vandalised. The Principal continued along the corridor to see most of the walls and doors of the school were covered. He needed to make sure this got cleaned up as soon as possible as he considered it to be a health hazzard, atleast if it was what he thought it was.

The Principal went straight back to his office and used the intercom to get the School Janitor to his office, he needed to get that mess cleaned up and punish whoever was responsible, although he had an idea exactly who was behind it.

Stephanie quickly made her way inside the School, she had recieved a call just over half an hour ago from the Principal demanding she come to the School. He had been very vague over the phone as to why it was so urgent only that she needed to come as soon as possible. Stephanie smiled at the School receptionist as she got directed to the Principal's office.

"Miss McMahon thankyou so much for coming" Said the Principal greeting her at the door

"It's fine" Said Stephanie noticing Paul was sitting on one of the chairs looking very bored and aggrivated.

"Please take a seat" Said the Principal sitting back down at his desk

"What is this all about?" Said Stephanie getting right to the point

"You're son is partly responsible for vandalising this School" Said the Principal

"Firstly he isn't my son and what exactly has he done?"

"He alongside his friend decided it would be funny to staple...well there is no polite way to say this but, condoms filled with lord knows what and place them all over the school" Said the Principal

"You have no proof it was me" Said Paul

"Oh come on it had all your finger prints over it and frankly i am on two minds to expell you for what you've done today, do you realize what you've done is a health hazzard" Said the Principal

"You can't expell him if you have no proof" Said Stephanie

"I have more than enough proof"

"Why would i do that? And by the way it isn't semen"

"So you are admitting it was you" Shouted the Principal

"What if we offer to pay for the damage" Interupted Stephanie trying to remain calm

"Steph don't..." Pleaded Paul

"I'm not going to let you get expelled Paul"

"We would accept the costs of damage and also 2 weeks detention" Stated the Principal

"You won't expell him if we pay?" Asked Stephanie making sure

"That's right although he is on very thin ice"

"We can pay" Stephanie agreed

"Then it's settled we'll be sending the bill to you, anyway thankyou for coming Miss McMahon your free to leave, as for you Paul your spending the remainder of the day with myself writing out lines"

"Whatever" Muttered Paul

"Paul i'll see you at home and try to stay out of trouble" Said Stephanie getting up and leaving.

A few hours later and Linda was ready to pick Kurt up from Stephanie's, he was currently grabbing a few DVD's so he wouldn't be bored.

"He'll need dinner" Stated Stephanie

"Ok...is everything alright?" Asked Linda

"Yeah it's fine i'm just glad to be getting some time to myself" Lied Stephanie who was on edge because she was having this talk with Paul who still wasn't home, though most likely it was due to him having detention after the incident at School. She would need to talk to him about that but not right now she had other things that needed to be sorted.

"That sounds like Paul" Said Linda who heard his car pull onto the drive as he got out,

Paul quickly opened the door only to be greeted by Linda who smiled at him, she had only met him a few times and just his appearance alone made him look like a troublemaker. Linda had no doubts Stephanie could handle him even if she did look rather off today, it made her realise it was probably for the best for the two boys to give her some time to herself.

"I'm ready" Said Kurt coming down

"Ok have fun" Smiled Stephanie hugging her son, she turned around to the confused look of Paul who dropped his bag down

"I'll bring him back at about 7" Said Linda as they both headed to the car

"Bye" Waved Stephanie watching the car drive off

"What's all that about?" Asked Paul

"Kurt is going to my Mom's for a few hours" Said Stephanie casually

"Oh..."

"Well isn't that what you wanted for us to be alone" Said Stephanie

"Yeah...of course" Nodded Paul going through to the living room

"Come on" Said Stephanie taking a seat on the sofa urging him to join her
