**A couple days later**

Stephanie arrived at Raw and headed towards Vince's door. She told Brock that she preferred to handle telling her family and he can tell his family however he wished. When she got there, she noticed that he was in the middle of an important conference call. So, she decided to tell her mom first. Thankfully Linda was coming to Raw tonight to see how things were going. She walked to where her mom was talking to the divas. Steph put her hand on her shoulder, "Hi mom."

Linda smiled and gave her a hug, "Hi honey how are you?"

"Oh I'm good, can we talk somewhere private?" Steph asked Linda.

"Sure, girls, I'll talk to ya later."

The divas waved at the two of them while they walked into an empty room and shut the door. "What's going on Steph? Is everything ok between you and Brock?" Linda asked.

"Everything is fine between Brock and I. But I have to talk to you about something important and I haven't told dad yet."

Ok honey, what is it?" Linda asked. Her curiosity was through the roof.

Steph took out the envelope and handed it to Linda, when Linda took the pictures out and looked at the top one Steph finally told her, "You're going to be a grandma."

Linda got tears in her eyes and held Stephanie, "Oh Steph, congratulations. I wish that you would have waited until after you were married, but I'm not that old fashioned."

Steph had tears in her eyes. "I'm so glad that you don't hate me. I told Brock, but I still have to tell dad."

Linda looked at Steph, "Maybe I should come with you to tell your father. He probably won't be too happy."

Steph nodded, "I know. It was different when Paul and I were trying because we were married right?"

Linda nodded. "Yeah, were you and Brock trying?"

Steph shook her head, "No, no we weren't. This one is a surprise, but now that I've gotten used to the idea again and I know that Brock will be there with me through it all makes me secure and I'm happy. I wanted to be a mom before, but it never happened so I put it on the backburner and now here's my chance and at first I was scared out of my mind. I hadn't told Brock yet and then he proposed to me the other night and I panicked and I told him that if he didn't want another child then I would do it on my own. I even told Brock that I understood if he didn't want to marry me anymore then I would accept that but I'm keeping the baby. We went back and forth a little and then he pulled me in his arms and told me he loved me and even though it's a surprise, he couldn't wait to be a family."

Linda smiled, "Well at least you don't have to do it on your own. And you're sure that it's not Paul's?"

Steph looked at Linda shocked, "Mom! Paul and I haven't been together since the night before I discovered him and Trish."

"Well I didn't know if anything happened back when you went to see him and Brock went to see Mya's mom."

"No mom nothing happened." Steph laughed.

"Well I can't talk for your dad, but I'm sure that once it sinks in it won't be so bad. I mean you are engaged. And I'm happy for you." Linda said to her daughter and then hugged her. "I love you and I'll be here for whatever you may need."

Steph hugged her mom tight, "It means a lot to me, I'm going to go and tell dad now before the creative meeting."

"Ok hon, I'll be there for him to vent to." Linda reassured her.

Steph walked off to Vince's office and knocked lightly and went in. "Hi Steph, how are you doing?"

"I'm doing good, how are you doing?" Steph asked cautiously.

"I'm alright. What can I do for you? The meeting isn't for a half-hour." Vince said to Steph.

"Dad, I need to talk to you about something important. Something really big." Steph started.

"Ok, what is it? Does it involve you and Brock? Or is it you and Paul?" Vince asked.

"Well, dad, it involves me and Brock." Steph continued. "Dad, here is your surprise." And Steph handed him the envelope.

He opened it and his eyes opened wide. "Are you trying to tell me that."

Steph cut him off, "That you're going to be a grandpa in about 5 and a half months."

Vince looked up at her, "Is that why Brock proposed to you. To try and save face after he knocks up my little girl?" Vince started to say in a loud voice.

Steph took a deep breath, "No, Brock didn't know until after he proposed to me. I didn't tell him until that night. Daddy, I know that you're mad, and Brock wasn't all that crazy about it right away either, but dad, this is a sign."

"Yeah a sign that Brock doesn't know how to use protection. Steph, you should be married first. It" Vince shot back.

"It's what? A sign that your daughter is in love with the man that she's about to marry and that they were able to create life? Dad, Paul and I couldn't make you a grandchild and we were married and we tried the whole time we were married. Brock and I were able to create life between the two of us, and I'm happy. I was a little put off first, but I'm happy. Dad, it doesn't show that I'm a slut and that I'm sleeping around, I know who's child it is. It's Brock's baby. I was on the pill and it still happened dad, I'm sorry that you're not happy, and I'll tell you this and then I'll let you be. I'm happy, Brock is happy and maybe one day you'll be happy, but I'm keeping this baby and I'm not keeping it a secret." Steph said with vengeance.

Vince looked at his daughter wide-eyed, there's only been a few things that she stood up to him about. He wanted to be happy, but he was protective of his daughter. "Listen Steph, let's talk about this, I'm not going to tell you go give it up, I would never tell you that. But do you really think that Brock is ready to have another child? He already has one with another woman that he didn't marry, doesn't that worry you a bit?"

"No daddy it doesn't. I gave him the option of staying or leaving no regrets, no bitter feelings, but he chose to stay. He didn't marry Nicole because he caught her cheating on him when he was at OVW with one of his friends. The same reason I divorced Paul. I offered Brock his ring back and told him if he didn't want to be a part of this child's life then he didn't have to, I can make it on my own and he said that he wasn't leaving me. I gave him the choice. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get ready for the meeting." Steph replied and walked out of the office and practically slammed the door.

Steph was pretty proud of herself yet scared out of her mind. The last time she stood up to him with that much confidence was when she said yes to dating Paul and then yes to marrying Paul. She was afraid that he would throw that at her, that he was right about Paul, but he had the decency not to. She walked into her office and shut the door. She sat down and started preparing her things for the meeting when there was a knock at the door. She hollered come in and looked up and there was Amy (Lita). "Hey girl, wanna grab some ice cream before your meeting?"

"Sure, I could use some chocolate." Steph said grabbing her folder and walking with Amy.

Amy leaned over to Steph, "Trish has been asking about you."

"Really, what does she ask?"

"She seems to have an interest in the next big thing."

Steph stopped in her tracks, "Oh hell no, she is not getting her little paws on him. He has a stronger defense mechanism than Paul did apparently. Guess what Amy?"

Amy was laughing at Steph, "What?"

Steph held out her left hand and showed her the ring. "Holy shit, did he propose?" Amy practically shouted.

Steph giggled, "Calm down Amy, yeah he proposed to me in front of his parents and my parents."

"Aww.that's so sweet." Amy sighed.

"That's not it, remember what I was talking to you at the spa about, about the way that the pill was screwing up my body?"

Amy nodded while grabbing the table for them to sit at, "Yeah did you talk to the trainer at your in-ring physical?"

"Yeah, he told me that it's nothing he can fix until I'm not pregnant anymore." Steph answered non-chalantly.

"Oh, I see.Wait a minute." Amy stopped, "Did you just say that you were.?"

"Pregnant, yup, almost 4 months." Steph answered.

Amy squealed and hugged her, "Are you excited? Scared? What did Brock say? Was he mad? Happy? Girl I need details!"

Steph got her ice cream and sat down at the table and went over everything. "And in one more month we can find out the baby's gender."

Amy smiled, "Wow, that's great. I am so happy for you. Does everyone know yet?"

"You're the first non-McMahon besides Brock to know."

"How did your parents react?"

"Well, mom is excited, but dad wasn't too happy so I stood up to him and I'll see what he's like in 5 minutes. So I'm going to head off before I'm late. See ya later?"

"Yeah, I'll catch up with you after Heat." Amy replied.

And Steph headed to the meeting.

When she got there, she walked in and there was everyone with one extra chair. "Who's this for?" Steph asked Heyman.

"Oh, since there's a PPV coming up, your dad invited Paul to sit in on the creative meetings for the next 2 weeks to help out. He'll be working Smackdown too."

Steph smiled weakly, "Not like him to not be prompt."

"Yeah, he had to grab some water and he's still on crutches so I'm sure no one is letting him get far without stopping him and asking him how it's going." Heyman responded.

"Soon, Paul and Vince walked in along with the rest of the creative team. Vince stood up, "Before we start working, I have an announcement to make, Stephanie stand up."

Steph looked at Vince and took a deep breath and stood up.

"Over our days off, Stephanie became engaged and later that night find out that she is expecting. So, when she starts to show we have to write her in so she can sit down or be behind stuff so that way we don't have to write it into the show." Vince announced to everyone with a smile on his face.

Everyone clapped and cheered for Steph. Except for Paul who sat there with a stunned and almost hurt look on his face, and Stephanie was the only one who noticed.
