3 months later:

Brock had decided that him and Steph had been together for awhile now and decided that she was the one for him. He took a deep breath and knocked on Vince's office door. "Come in." He heard Vince bellow.

Brock walked in and seen that both Shane and Vince were there. Brock was wearing a black button down shirt with black jeans, black cowboy boots, and a black cowboy hat. He took off his hat and shook Vince and Shane's hands. "I'm glad you were both able to make it, I would like to talk to the two of you about something important."

Vince and Shane both looked at him. "Well, you have our full attention, go ahead."

Brock took his cell phone out and shut it off. "Well, I want to talk to you about Stephanie and I."

The room fell silent. Brock took a deep breath and began, "Steph and I have been together for going on 7 months and we are in love with each other. Vince, I would like to ask for your permission to ask for her hand in marriage. And Shane, I wanted you here because I know that you are a very important person in her life and I would like for you to approve as well."

Vince and Shane were in shock. Vince was impressed with the way that Brock treated her and he has always approached everything about their relationship as a man, not as a boy. He was open and honest with Vince about dating her, and now he was asking for permission for her hand. "How about this, meet us here in 15 minutes, I know that you had asked Linda to be here and she couldn't and I would like to include her in this, do you mind?" Vince asked.

Brock stood up, "No sir, that's fine. Thank you, and I'll see you here in 15 minutes." He nodded his head towards Shane and Vince, put his hat back on and walked out of the office.

Vince looked at Shane, "Well, what do you think?

"I think that 7 months isn't very long, but I knew after the first month that Marissa and I were together. And I've never seen Stephanie so happy. Not even Paul made her as happy as she's been lately. Brock seems like a decent guy to me. And he is a great father to his daughter, and that reflects a lot on how he treats a woman."

Vince nodded his head, "Yeah I agree. And Stephanie does seem to make a great step-mother to Mya." Vince smiled, he had come to look at Mya as his own grandchild. "Let's call Linda and get her two cents."

Vince picked up the phone and then set the receiver back down and looked at Shane, "how about we agree on one condition?" Shane smiled, "I smell something interesting, what is the condition?"

"Let's see if I have to bring it up, go along with me."

15 minutes on the dot later and there was a knock on the door. "Come in." He heard Vince bellow.

Brock walked in and took off his hat again and went and shook both of their hands and sat down.

"Well, we have talked, and I would like to ask one thing. How are you going to propose?" Vince inquired.

Brock smiled, "I'm glad you asked. I would like to invite you, Linda and Shane and your wife out to my house where my parents would be as well. Stephanie would have no idea what's going on besides a getting to meet each other's parents night. I would also have Mya that night because I want her to be a part of this. I would barbecue dinner and just as we are about to eat, I would propose."

Vince and Shane smiled, "Brock, I think that you'll make a great son-in- law, yes you have my permission to marry Stephanie."

Brock stood up and shook Vince's hand and then Shane's hand, "Thank you very much, I won't let you down. And I definitely won't let Stephanie down, ever."

"That's what I want to hear, and you just let us know when and where and we'll be there. And by the way, we decided not to tell Linda, so she'll be completely surprised." Vince said to Brock with a big grin.

Brock smiled back, "I'll make this a night to remember."

Brock walked out of Titan Towers that day with the biggest smile on his face. And his heart was racing out of control. He flew out to Minnesota to pick out the perfect ring.

Meanwhile, Steph was at the spa with Amy Dumas (Lita). Steph looked at Amy, "thanks, I really appreciate you coming with me, I needed a girl day and someone to vent to so it means a lot to me that you would come."

"Thanks for inviting me, it's nice to get out of the house on a non-Heat day." Amy said with a laugh. "So what all would you like to talk about?"

"Amy, where do I begin?" Steph said with a laugh. "Well, Trish approached me the other day and said that she would like to work on being friends again."

"Really?"

"Yeah, apparently Paul told her that we were on a trial separation, but I don't know if I believe that."

"It's hard to tell." Amy said to Steph.

"Yeah. And, how weird did your body get when you went on the pill?"

"Not overly weird, why?"

"Well, I started on the pill 3 months ago, and the first month I was on it, I barely had a period, and last month I think I spotted for 3 days if that, and it was over. I'm not on the green pills yet this month, but I just keep thinking about how hard I'm going to get hit once my system gets used to them again." Steph laughed. "But I can tell that I have gained weight since starting them, I've gained 4 pounds in 2.5 months!"

Amy laughed, "Yeah, I gained about 7 pounds total after going on the pill, but I just worked out more and I was able to burn it off."

"Good, I have a few pairs of pants and outfits that are starting to get uncomfortable." Steph answered.

"I think that as far as Trish goes, that's totally up to you. You guys were best friends, it's up to you." Amy advised.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. See, I was thinking that it would probably burn Paul if we were to go back to being best friends."

They both laughed and enjoyed their massage.

That night, Steph got home from the spa to find that she had messages on her machine. The first one was Brock telling her to call him when she got back, except from 9:30-10:00 p.m eastern time due to that's when he was in the ring. The second message was from Trish saying that she got Steph's message and to call her when she was able to and they would talk about getting together and working everything out. And the third message was from the trainer saying it was time for her in-ring physical again and to call him to make an appointment.

She grabbed the phone and called Tony the trainer first, "Hey, I'll be at Smackdown tomorrow, how about 12:00 p.m.? "

"Sounds good to me, meet me at the arena and we'll go to the hospital clinic together. If you don't mind, I have a couple others who need to go through theirs, do you mind if we all carpool?"

"Nope, fine with me, I'll see ya tomorrow." Steph replied and hung up.

She looked at her clock and realized that Brock was still in the ring at the house show, so she plopped down on the couch and watched tv.

Steph awoke to her phone ringing, "Hello?" Steph answered in a sleepy voice.

"Did I wake you up?" Brock asked.

"No, I was just dozing till you finished your match."

"That's good, because I was done with my match about 2 hours ago." Brock replied with a chuckle.

"Oops! Sorry, I've been really tired lately, I've been commuting so much by plane lately that the jet lag has finally caught up with me."

"That's ok, I was just wondering what time you fly in tomorrow?"

"10:00 a.m. gate 7." Steph replied. "I can't wait to see you."

"I can't wait to see you either. I'll be at the gate. Also, Wednesday night, I'm inviting your family and mine to the house so they can meet each other, does that work for you?" Brock asked trying to sound non-chalant.

"Yeah that works for me, if you don't mind, can I ride back with you after the show?" Steph asked.

"Hon, that's always ok with me. But we'll be picking up Mya if you don't mind."

"That's ok, Nicole and I get along with each other." Steph replied.

"Sounds good, I'll see you tomorrow morning. I love you Stephie." Brock said to her using his favorite nickname for her.

"I love you too. Sweet dreams." Steph answered and hung up and walked upstairs and went back to bed.
