A/N: Last chapter… you'll see why. ;)

The atmosphere was a mixed bag of emotions, some happy, some sad and some shocked… Amanda wasn't sure which one she fit with, part of her was wishing that Punk would show up.

But she didn't really blame him anymore…

"Hey there. Meds making you feel sleepy?" Ultimate Warrior says after stopping backstage when he saw Amanda, dressed in a purple and blue one strap leopard print mini dress, black stiletto heels and her makeup in a smokey eye style, taking a break before heading out there with Trish to induct Lita.

"Yeah… are you okay?" Amanda says after snapping out of her thoughts, the petite brunette noticing how pale Warrior looked.

"Yeah, just a bit tired myself,… look, don't worry about me, I'll be alright. Just take it easy, okay? What happened scared all of us." Warrior says as they hug before he left.

That lingering voice in the back of her mind didn't want him to go… Amanda knew something was wrong.

And sure enough when she got that call three days later, Amanda felt like her heart had been snatched out of her body. Amanda retreated to her locker room, grabbed the vase and threw it across the room, the vase shattering and sending all three members of the Shield running in.

"I knew something wasn't right and he told me not to worry, he'd be alright! Now he's gone!" Amanda yells, swinging her tiny hands at Seth as he tried to hug her but eventually letting him do so…

Checking her reflection in the mirror again, Amanda readjusted the title on her right shoulder… and twirled a lock of her newly dyed bluish black hair around her index finger.

Underneath the new look was a girl dealing with a bit of anxiety over an upcoming promo… but it wasn't the first time.

"Hey." Amanda heard, turned and saw Matt Hardy, the two hugging.

"I missed you, Matty." Amanda says after they eventually let go.

"I missed you too, kiddo… you look so grown up now and with that…" Matt says, lightly tugging on one of Amanda's curls for a few seconds. "I like that color… we all need a change every now and then." He says.

"Yes we do." Amanda says, turning and seeing Jeff and Finn talking before looking back at Matt.

"Relax, we're just looking out for you." Matt says, rubbing his hand up and down Amanda's back in a brotherly way before Finn and Jeff walked over to them.

"Nervous, kiddo?" Jeff asks, Amanda nodding before the two brothers in front of her and Finn whispered for a few seconds. "Got just the right idea." He says, all four heading away from the area and to the locker room.

When the door opened, Amanda's eyes widened and she smiled as the toddler on Reby's lap made happy noises at seeing his godmother.

"Maxel, hey buddy." Amanda says, setting her title down as Maxel ran to her and jumped into her arms, the two hugging.

"Auntie, I missed you!" Maxel says, pressing his small mouth to the bridge of Amanda's nose in a kiss.

"I missed you too, kiddo." Amanda says.

At the same time, Punk was walking around the Amway Center when he stopped by a familiar sign on a door… and knocked on it.

"Come in."

Hesitantly opening the door, Punk walked in and Vince looked up… and smiled.

"Hello, Phillip." Vince says, calling Punk by his real name.

"Hello, Mr. McMahon." Punk says as the two embraced each other like a father and son would. When they let go, Vince nodded as he knew why Punk was here.

"I'm glad that you and Amanda patched things up… and I'm sorry for ripping your friendship apart." Vince says.

"You didn't rip it apart… I did, I should've listened to her, she was trying to keep me sane but… I was so damn angry." Punk says.

"Things get in the way that shouldn't… I hope you intend to stick around for a time, got a few surprises in store for the rosters in the next few weeks." Vince says, Punk smiling.

"Of course, wouldn't miss them for the world. I'm gonna let you get back to business, it was nice talking to you again." Punk says before leaving.

When he reached Amanda's locker room a while later, she was there looking over her script for tonight until he snuck up behind her and covered her eyes with his hands, which evoked a small laugh from her.

"I missed you being around…" Amanda says as Punk dropped his hands and she turned around, Punk seeing that the nervousness was long gone.

"You held little Maxel, didn't you?" Punk asks.

"I'm still amazed at how much he looks like Matt… he's gonna be a great big brother." Amanda says, Punk seeing a slightly distant look in her eyes.

"Where's your head, Amanda?" Punk asks.

"Remember a while back that you brought up the subject of kids?... Finn and I've been talking about marriage and a family…" Amanda says.

"But… Amanda, something's wrong, I can see it." Punk says.

"I was diagnosed with Endometriosis a few months back… I might not be able to carry a child to full term, Phil." Amanda says, Punk wrapping his arms around her and the two hugging.

"It'll work out, Mandy… don't worry. Everything will work out." Punk says as they let go and Amanda brushed her tears away.

Amanda headed towards the curtain and waited, the cheers calming her.

Little did she know at that moment just how right Punk was…

2 years later…

28 year old Amanda pulled her brunette curls into a ponytail and pressed the FaceTime app on her tablet, sending the video call out and the call being answered immediately.

"Hey, you!" Punk says, Amanda smiling as she saw the contract in the background of the WWE HQ office that Punk was in.

"You're signing with us again?!" Amanda asks.

"Yep… and is that…" Punk says, seeing the test in Amanda's right hand and she turned it to where the screen was facing him, Punk smiling when he saw Positive in the display screen. "Amanda, that's fantastic! You know I'll spoil that kid silly!" He says.

"I know but…" Amanda says, showing the next part of her news and Punk seeing two tiny babies in the sonogram picture.

"I've gotta get to the arena and hug you and Finn in person. Congratulations, Amanda." Punk says.

"We'll be here, Phil. Drive carefully, okay?" Amanda says as she heard the door open and saw Finn walk into the room before Finn sat down next to her.

"You got it. Congratulations, both of you." Punk says before the video call ended and Amanda set the tablet down, her and Finn hugging.

"I wonder how everyone else will react… Sami's bound to start a bet on the genders of our little ones." Finn says as the two kiss.

Amanda finally felt stabilized again… her and Finn's marriage off to a great start, two children on the way and Punk back in Amanda's life.

Her life had finally come full circle… and now it was gonna get a little crazier.

But she would welcome it with open arms.

A/N 2: It'll take some time but there'll be a sequel to this story. Thank you all for reading. :)
