appreciate it!**
Steph paced nervously in her office, Brock was finishing up his match, and then he was going to meet her in her office and tell her everything. She didn't know what happened, but it was obvious that something occurred. She just wasn't sure if she had prepared herself for the truth.
Brock was out there in the ring, and the match was over. He was posing for the crowd after the cameras went off. Normally some of the Smackdown stars would clown around for a little bit afterwards and give the live audience a little something extra for their money. That night Brock had tagged with Rey Mysterio and Rey, ever a clown, went over to Brock, "Hey, let me do something cool off your shoulders."
Brock looked at Rey with a puzzled look, "Ok, go ahead."
Rey ran back, climbed up Brock, stood on his shoulders and did a backward flip onto Charlie Haas below. The crowd went nuts! Brock was laughing and so was Rey. Poor Charlie really had it handed to him tonight.
Rey and Brock walked to the back. "Thanks for letting me do that Brock, I've always wanted to try that, I hope that I wasn't too heavy." Rey said to Brock.
"You too heavy? Rey, no offense but you weigh as much as my daughter does, not a problem." Brock replied laughing and patting Rey on the shoulders. "I'll see ya later."
Rey waved, 'See ya!"
Brock took a deep breath, this was the moment that he had been dreading. He walked up to Stephanie's office door, sighed, and went to knock just as Shelton hollered for him. "Yo Brock,"
Brock turned towards him, "Yeah, what's up?"
"Let's talk for a minute, before you go in there." Shelton suggested.
Brock shook his head, "I can't, I gotta do this and get it over with."
But maybe I can help you out a bit." Shelton offered.
Brock made a face, and turned to him, "You've got 5 minutes. Let's go."
They found somewhere that was quiet and there was no one else around. "Ok, be honest, no more beating around the bush, what did you and Trish do." Shelton reasoned with him.
Brock's pager went off and it was Vince's code. "Dude, that's Vince, I gotta answer this, look, I'll talk to ya on the plane, but thanks for trying to help, and I promise, I'll be honest with you."
Shelton patted him on the back, "Alright man, see ya."
Brock walked off and contacted Vince, he just needed to see if he would be willing to do an autograph session at the World. Brock agreed, and wrote it down so he'd remember to be there.
He walked up to Steph's door and knocked.
Steph hollared come in, she was sitting at her desk working on her laptop, she even had her glasses on, and Brock had never even seen her in glasses before. She looked over the top of her glasses, "I'm almost finished with this, can you give me 2 minutes?"
"Not a problem, do you want me to come back?" Brock replied.
Stephanie smiled, "No you don't have to leave, I'm just wrapping up some thoughts for next week's Smackdown."
Steph finished her thought, and Brock kept running through his head what he was going to say.
"Ok, I'm done. Sorry about that." Stephanie said to Brock.
"I just want to get this done and over with, so I'm not going to beat around the bush." Brock started. He took a deep breath, "You and I got off the phone and I was upset, so I went and talked to Shelton, and I had a lot to drink, and so did Shelton. We talked about it and Shelton and I came to the conclusion that when you said that Trish ruined your engagement that you had broken up with me."
Steph started to jump in, but Brock interrupted her. "I know what you're going to say, but when you're drunk, and you're stupid and you put the minds of two drunk people together that's what we came up with. So I decided fuck it, I'm having a good time. So I'm going back to the beginning of the night, Shelton and I and Jenna and Trish danced at the club, and Jenna gave Shelton a kiss, so out of the blue Trish told her that she could do better and she kissed me."
Steph interjected, "Did you kiss her back? And this was before I called?"
Brock nodded with a frown, "Yeah I did, then I felt really guilty, so I drank even more because I felt guilty. Then we played a version of drinking monopoly, which then turned over to strip poker, which is where you called and you heard Trish in the background. So Jenna and Shelton left the room, so that left Trish and I in her room together. We put on some music and we danced, we drank and danced, then we started kissing. We were both half- naked because of playing the games, and kissing led to lying down with each other. She started coming on to me really strong, and."
Brock looked over at Steph and she was watching him explain with tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe that Trish had done it again. "I can't do this, I can't sit here and tell you all of this." Brock stood up.
"Brock I told you all of the intimate details of what Paul and I did and you sat there through it, I can take it. Go ahead and tell me everything." Steph stood up to him.
Brock looked down into her eyes, "I can't bear knowing that I'm the one making you cry. I'm supposed to protect you, not hurt you more." Brock said with tears filling in his eyes.
Stephanie looked back at him, "Fine, I'll tell you what, summarize it, did you fuck her? Did you go down on her? Summarize it Brock, but I need to know what you two did."
Brock took a deep breath, he couldn't believe how non-reserved she was being. But then she had every right to, she'd been through this before and he was the one breaking her heart. "Things got pretty far, but not all the way. I couldn't. Things happened, but not the big thing," Brock stammered. "I got up and I told her that I couldn't. I couldn't bear the thought of hurting you, and I stopped. I looked at her and I told her that I've never cheated on anyone in my life, and now that I was engaged that made what I was doing even worse and even though it seemed like you broke up with me I had to be sure. She didn't know that we were engaged." Brock advised Steph.
Steph was crying, "Just be honest with me Brock, what all happened? Don't worry about telling me too much, I can handle it."
"You don't want to hear it Steph, you're just torturing yourself more." Brock tried to reason with her.
Steph looked him in the eyes, "I can handle the truth Brock, I'm a big girl, I'm not trying to torture myself, I just want to know the truth, I told you everything about Paul and I."
"You didn't get sexual with Paul, that was where I was jumping to conclusions." Brock intervened.
"But I was still honest, We held hands, we hugged, after you and I had a fight, he kissed the top of my head trying to comfort me, there I told you now you tell me." Steph insisted.
Brock was trying to control his temper, but he wasn't doing well. He knew that the two of them both have a fire within that can cause some killer fights, but finally after going back and forth he couldn't contain himself anymore, "You want to know everything, Fine, she went down on me, I went down on her. We made out, she started to ride and that's when I told her that I couldn't do this, and I got dressed, we sat there and talked for an hour, then we were tired so we snuggled in bed and fell asleep. I got up, picked up Shelton and we came here. She called me on the flight to make sure that I got to the airport on time."
Steph looked at him, "I thought that you said that you didn't go all the way?"
Brock looked back at her, "We didn't,"
Stephanie interrupted him, "Was she on you? You just said that she "started" to ride, therefore that means that she was on top of you."
Brock looked down with tears in his eyes, "Yeah, she was on me, but Steph, it didn't hit me until later that you hadn't broken up with me. I was drunk and stupid, and I wasn't thinking straight."
"You can't blame everything on being drunk Brock, obviously, you wanted her, because if you didn't, even though you thought that I broke up with you. You would have either called me back to find out why I was breaking up with you over a stupid little fight or you would have left. What do you feel for her Brock?"
"Nothing, Stephanie I'm in love with you, you're the one I want to be with. Not her, yeah she's a great girl, but she's not you." Brock said holding Steph's hand.
Steph looked at him, "What do you want Brock? I need to know open and honestly how you feel about me, about us, and about the baby. I want, no change that, I NEED to know how you feel." Just as Brock was about to speak, there was a knock on Steph's door. "Let me get that, I'm the only one that's still here and in charge."
Steph opened the door and it was Torrie Wilson and Billy Kidman, "There's only a couple people left here, just thought that we would make sure that everything was ok, and to make sure that you had someone to walk you to your car. And to see if you need anything, that way you can take it easy."
They could tell that something wasn't ok because they could tell that she had been crying. "Everything's fine, I'm feeling ok, I have someone to walk me to my car if I need it and you guys can go ahead and go, I'll mark you down."
"If you need anything, give us a call, ok?" Torrie said and she gave Steph a hug. "See ya." Billy just waved and said good night and followed Torrie.
Steph shut the door and turned to Brock, "Sorry about that, go ahead and tell me everything, and I want the cold, honest truth."
Brock sat down again, "Stephanie I love you, I love you more than I've ever known, I don't want to lose you, I still want you to become my wife. You bring new meaning to my life. And I know that Mya loves you, and that's important too. I know that I haven't been very excited about the baby but that's because it's still a shock to me. It's not that I'm not happy, it's just that I wasn't expecting that and I'm still adjusting. I will love the baby as much as I love Mya. I know that what I did was wrong, but I'm hoping that you understand that I thought that we had broken up. Please, don't turn your back on this yet, I know that I don't have this right, but please give me a second chance."
Steph went and sat down behind her desk, "Brock, if you only knew what all I've been carrying on my shoulders, if you only knew how hurt I am right now. But I love you too. And I know that you thought that I broke up with you, and I know that you were drunk and angry, but I'm still going to tell you that I love you and I want us to work."
Brock looked to her and started to walk over to her, all he wanted to do was hold her and apologize to her and take care of her.
Steph held her hand up, "Hold on, I'm not done yet." Brock's heart sank, he didn't know what to expect.
"For the next couple days, I need some time. I need to cool my jets a little bit and I have some personal business to attend to. Can you give me that?" Steph asked him.
"Steph, I can do that. But I have to ask you, where do we stand?" Brock inquired.
"How about we take it slow, but we don't have to tell anyone about what happened besides the people that know. " Steph said, she took the ring off and handed it back to Brock, "Do you want to hold onto this?"
Brock shook his head, "No, I want you to still wear it, we may be taking it slow, but I still love you and I still want to marry you. Do you mind?"
Stephanie shook her head, "No, I don't mind."
Brock went over to her and held her, "I'm so sorry Stephanie, I love you and I don't want to lose you. I never meant to hurt you and I promise I'll quit being so jealous of Paul. I trust you and that should be enough."
Stephanie smiled at him, "Thank you. You may notice that he's hanging around a lot but he's real close to coming back and we've always connected on work issues and to be honest with you I think that he might be a little jealous of you."
"Me.why?" Brock questioned.
"Paul wanted nothing more in this world then to be a daddy and a good husband, and neither one of those happened with our marriage. We tried for almost the entire time we were together and it never happened. So, he's kind of fascinated with all of the baby stuff. He loves kids. So please don't jump down his throat, we've become close friends and I told him that I would show him whatever I get from the dr." Stephanie reasoned. "But you can't tell him I told you."
Brock nodded his head, "Ok, I get it. I'll be nice to Paul. In the hospital we got along pretty well, maybe it's a sign of some sort."
Stephanie hugged him one last time, "I've gotta go do the final walk through, and then I have to go take care of my business. I'll call you, ok?"
Brock hugged her back and kissed her cheek, "Ok Stephie, I'll see you soon."
Stephanie packed her laptop in her bag and grabbed her stuff, "Talk to you later Brock."
Stephanie did her walk through and picked up everything that wrestlers left behind and then walked over to where Paul was, "Everything is ok, you don't have to play my bodyguard. We're ok. And maybe you guys could learn to get along? For my sake?"
Paul smiled, "I'll see what I can do. Where are you off to?"
"I have some personal business to take care of.in Toronto." Steph said in a very stern tone.
"Now Steph, what are you thinking of?" Paul questioned.
"Can't tell you or I'd have to kill you." Stephanie answered back as she headed to the limo.
"Stephanie Marie McMahon, you have to tell me what you have planned. I may have to save you from yourself." Paul tried to reason again.
Steph hopped in the limo and rolled down the window, "I don't want you to be an accomplice for murder, see ya." Stephanie said and the waved out the window as the limo pulled away.
Paul turned around and Brock was coming up behind him. "Hey, you wouldn't by any chance know what Steph's plan is do ya?" Paul inquired.
"All I know is that she said that she had some personal business to attend to." Brock replied.
"Well, I just got out of her that she's headed to Toronto."
"Great, well maybe one of us will be bailing daddy's little girl out of jail," Brock said sarcastically.
They both shared a good laugh and Paul looked at Brock, "I know that you and I got off on the wrong foot, wanna go grab something to eat?"
"I'll tell you what, if it involves something greasy I'm all for it." Brock answered, keeping his promise to Steph.
"I know a little bar and restaurant down the street from here that has the best burgers and fries." Paul responded. "Come on I'll show ya."
And Paul and Brock hopped in a vehicle and headed towards the bar.
**Sorry this got so long, I was on a roll. I hope that you guys liked it. Please read and review, and let me know what you think. Anything you would like to see? Let me know and I'll try and accommodate. Update tomorrow. Thanks again!!**
