I am back for another update! Sorry I didn't update last night. As far as this story goes, now is a Women's title match between a newly – recovered Maria and Beth Phoenix. Then the last chapter will have everyone celebrating New Year's Eve at Mark's house. Danielle, I will accept your story request. But it's the last one I'll do for you, only because I have other stories to work on. I hope that is okay. Thanks to Danielle, Laurice and Myresa for reviewing!

Chapter 9: Women's Title Match

Date: 10/13/08

Time: 10 PM

Location: Honda Center in Anaheim, CA

It was approximately two months after Maria gave birth to Phil Jack Brooks Jr. Vince had called her while she was recovering and asked how she felt about being Women's Champion.

"Oh my God! Are you serious Vince? I just had a baby 2 months ago!" Maria had protested.

"Miss Brooks, we just figured that since you got to witness birth's ultimate miracle, we thought you'd might want a title belt to go with your new son," Vince had told her.

After the call, Maria had told Phil the news. Despite a hint of nervousness from Phil at first, he thought the title match was great. Thought it was time to give his wife a push in the WWE after what she'd been through the past 9 months.

Phil and Maria's locker room…

Maria was getting ready for her title match against Beth while Phil and Phil Junior watched. She was wearing a hot pink sleeveless top and matching shorts with black stars. Phil had decided to bring the couple's new son to the arena for additional support. Then, Lita came in to check on the new mother.

"Hey Ria. Heard you're going after the Women's title tonight," Lita told her. "Guess what? I'm going to be the guest announcer for your match!"

"Oh my God! No way!" Maria cried, letting out a squeal.

"Well, I just wanted to let you know. So good luck tonight," Amy said.

Maria gave Phil and her son a kiss and gave her husband a thumbs – up for his World Title belt.

In the ring…

Before the Women's title match started, Lita made her way to the ring.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Making a one – night only return, please welcome the guest announcer for the next match, Lita!" Lillian Garcia announced to the Anaheim crowd.

Lita got in the ring and took the mike from Lillian. She introduced Beth first, and then "LoveFuryPassionEnergy" played again. Maria came out with her hands on her hips and blew the fans a kiss.

"And the challenger, from Chicago, Illinois, Maria Punk!" Amy announced.

Maria got in the ring and gave Amy a hug. After that, the match started.

A few minutes later…

The match had pretty been in favor of Beth. However, Maria gained a quick offense on the stronger Diva. Finally, after a little help from Amy, Maria hit her corner bulldog on Beth and got the 3 – count. She was the new Women's Champion!

"And your winner, and the new Women's Champion: Maria Punk!" Amy told the WWE Universe.

After letting Amy raise her hand and accepting a handshake and hug from Beth, Maria went to the back to be her with her family.

In the back…

After her title match, Maria entered the locker room where Phil was still waiting for her.

"Yay! You did it, Ria! I am so proud of you dear!" Phil shouted, hugging his wife. "Now we're both champions!"

"I know! I'm so on top of the world right now!" Maria let out a laugh. "Where's Phil Junior?"

Phil replied with, "Asleep in his stroller."

Maria looked at her 2 – month – old son sleeping in the stroller and giggled at him. Then she gave her husband a full – on lip lock.

Later…

Maria and Phil had left for home after the taping was over. They came home, changed clothes, changed Phil Junior's diaper, put him to bed and then went to bed themselves.

Once they were in bed, Maria said, "I am so lucky. I have a wonderful husband, a beautiful son, and now I'm the new Women's Champion!"

"You really deserve it dear," Phil told her.

After a final kiss, the new parents finally went to sleep.

Finished! I would like to clarify a couple of things. One, I know Phil wasn't World Champion in October, but I wanted him to be. It's fanfiction. Hello! *Giggle* Second, I know Maria's song is not "LoveFuryPassionEnergy," but I wanted to give her a new attitude. Besides, it was a request from Danielle. What'd you think of the second to last chapter?
