**First of all, thank you to the people that reviewed over the weekend, I
really appreciate it!! I really hope that everyone is enjoying this story,
please read and review!!!***
On the plane, Steph started working on some story line ideas, and she was on a conference call with the rest of the creative team and her father. Brock was sitting next to her, watching her conduct business and couldn't help but smile. As he sat there, Steph was sitting straight up, her hands were as fast as lightning on her laptop as she argued back and forth with the other writers about various angles and which wrestlers would be the next to be pushed.
Steph glanced over and noticed Brock watching her intently. She smiled at him, as she worked. She couldn't believe that she was actually working on a relationship that made her so happy yet everyone around the two of them so uneasy. It was kind of like when she first started dating Paul. First of all, she had people upset with her because Paul had been not only dating but living with Joanie, and to top it all off, Paul had some issues with Vince, and Vince didn't care for his attitude, but once they two of them got together, Paul seemed to grow up, and they kept it hid for a long time, but then Joanie had to leak it to the presses when Vince wouldn't give her the raise she wanted. So then Steph was under fire, but so was Paul. Everyone was using it against him stating that he was using their relationship to further his stance in the company as much as possible. She knew different, especially because he had grown up and actually started to get along with Vince. She knew that if she could overcome that, then she could definitely do this. The only difference is that they're already setting Brock up to be huge, so this could be a little trickier.
Brock sat and listened to her negotiate, and chuckled to himself that she must be hell to argue with. But then his phone rang. It was Nicole. Nicole was crying hysterically. "Whoa, what's going on? Calm down, stop crying and tell me what's going on?"
In between sobs, "Mom's in the hospital and I need to go down there, and I can't take Mya. You need to take her."
Brock started to say, "I can't right now, they're prepping me to debut on Raw,"
Nicole interrupted him in a very angry tone, "Brock I can't take her to the hospital, mom's on life support and I'm not going to not go because you can't be there for her. You need to have someone come and get her."
Brock took a deep breath, trying not to start a big fight, "Nicole, I understand that you're upset right now, but I'm on a plane right now, and I can't have them turn around."
Nicole started crying even harder, "Can't you have one of your friends get her and bring her out to you? Brock, please, I need to be there for mom."
Brock rubbed his head, "Look, let me see what I can do, can I call you back?"
"Yeah, but please hurry, I don't know how she'll do."
Brock said gently, " I know, I'll make it quick, I promise." And hung up. He couldn't believe his luck. Mya was born 2 days before he went to OVW and now Nicole's mom was dying when he was supposed to be debuting on Raw. He always loved Nicole's mom, and she loved him. She had him calling her mom on his and Nicole's third date. She was so disappointed when they broke up, and especially because a lot of it was Nicole's fault. Where would he be able to come up someone to pick up Mya when he couldn't?
Steph got done on her business call, and looked at Brock. "What's wrong, you look upset."
Brock sighed, "Well, I just got a call from Nicole, her mom is dying, and she needs me to take Mya. But I can't right now, there's no way that I can get out to Minnesota from here in a quick time, so she wants me to have one of my friends go and get Mya and bring her out to me, but I can't ask any of them to go and get her and bring her to me wherever we'll be. I don't know what to do. It's odd, Nicole had Mya 2 days before I went to OVW and now Madge is dying when I'm on my way to Raw. I don't know what to do."
Steph gave Brock a hug, "Brock, I'm so sorry. Isn't there anyone? What about your parents?"
Brock shook his head, "South Dakota got hit with 6 inches of snow last night, and on the news they said that it's still snowing pretty good out there so there's no way my parents could drive from South Dakota to Minnesota."
Steph smiled and looked at him, "Would she have a problem if I went and got her?"
Brock looked up at her, "What?"
"Would she have a problem if I went and got her? I have a lot more flexibility to come and go and I have my laptop and my phone, I can conference into whatever I would miss, and besides, I would love to be able to help you out."
Brock looked slightly puzzled, "You would do that for me? But you haven't even met her yet?"
Steph wrapped her arms around him and held him tight, "Of course I would do that for you. And as long as she isn't scared of me, I think everything would go ok. I love kids, and I want to do something for you."
Brock held her tight. "Steph, this means a lot to me, I'll call Nicole and make sure it's ok."
When Brock called Nicole, Steph started to pack up her stuff because it was almost time to land, but she heard him say that his girlfriend was going to be picking her up. Steph smiled and turned slightly red. That's what she wanted, she wanted to be his girlfriend. She heard him hang up and walk over to where she was packing everything up. "She doesn't have a problem with it."
Steph turned around and smiled, "That's great, I'll take you to Raw, introduce you around, and talk to dad and let him know that I'll be gone for awhile and that I'll be back for Smackdown's meeting."
Brock held her hand and walked her to his lap and held her close, "Stephanie, this means a lot to me. Mya is everything to me, and I'm so happy that she doesn't scare you off, and that you want to get to know her."
Stephanie looked into his eyes, "Brock, I care a lot about you, I want to get to know everything about you, I want to be involved with you, and your daughter would never scare me off."
Brock and Stephanie kissed. Brock looked at her, "So tell me something, do you still want to "just date" or do you feel safe enough with me to let your walls down? I feel very comfortable with you, and I'm able to let my guard down whenever you're ready."
Stephanie's eyes filled with tears, "Brock, I would love to be your girlfriend."
They held each other and kissed. Stephanie looked at him, "And, there's one thing that we do need to talk about before we get to the arena."
Brock looked confused, "Ok, what's that?"
"Telling people about us. I'm going to warn you about one thing, the locker room is a haven of rumors and jr high antics. Before we decide on who we'll tell and we won't tell, I want you to keep your eyes and ears open and see how they treat people who are dating other people in the company, and they still give Paul a hard time. I want you to observe for a little while, and then we'll decide on what we'll do. But I don't have a problem with it."
Brock shook his head, "I understand. And I'll do that. How do you feel about telling close friends and family?"
"I don't have a problem with being honest. With my family, I'm going to wait a little bit just so they can see what you're capable of on your own first, so they don't think that I'm trying to be biased even though I would hope that dad would know me better than that. I'll tell my mom and Shane, but I'll hold off with dad."
Brock nodded his head and held her tight. "I see your point."
Soon they were landing. They got off the plane and into a limo. "Tell me Steph, do you ever drive yourself anywhere?"
Steph laughed, "Yeah I do, but it's fun when you don't have to."
**What will happen at the arena? Will Brock debut on Raw? Will things heat up between Brock and Steph now that they're officially dating? Please read and review and let me know if there's anything you would like to see happen between the two!!"
