A/N: Hi guys! Remember me? Good. I decided to update a little ahead of schedule. Thanks to Danielle Wolf, Animal Luvr 4 Life and taker43 for reviewing. Danielle, I'll make it my mission to not have Ariel in any more chapters. In fact, my Kevin and Ariel muses are not speaking right now. BTW, I did it again. I typed in the wrong chapter number in the last installment (should've been Chapter 3).

Chapter 4: The Big Announcement

Date: January 21, 2008

Time: 10 PM

Location: Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA

The next week, it was proving to be another exciting night of WWE action. It was a special night in the Hampton Coliseum. Smackdown and ECW stars were invited to appear on Raw as a preview for the Royal Rumble 6 days away.

In the back…

Maria was backstage, wondering how to tell Phil that she was pregnant. When she'd gotten dressed this morning, she'd had to settle for a maternity sweater and a pair of black sweats. Mickie, Melina, Ashley, Beth and Candice came by to check on her.

"Hey Ria. How's the baby?" Melina asked.

"Oh he's fine." At that moment, the baby gave a hard kick. "But he sure is quite the kicker though," Maria managed to get out.

"Aw, that's good. Did you tell Phil yet?" Mickie asked Maria.

"Tell him what?" Maria asked back.

"That you're pregnant," Beth said.

"No I didn't." Maria gave a simple shrug.

"Maria!" all of the Divas shouted at her.

"I'm scared," Maria whimpered.

"Ria. I'm sure Phil will take the news just fine. Trust us," Candice said. Pushing her toward the curtain that led to the ring, she told her, "Come on! Get out to the ring and tell him!"

With no choice at all, Maria walked out to the ring.

In the ring…

Maria was standing in the ring, waiting to call out CM Punk. All day long, she'd rehearsed what she'd say to him, and she was ready to tell him.

"Now as you guys may or may not tell by how I look tonight, I am pregnant," she told the live crowd. This earned her an arousing round of applause and cheers.

"I know, huh? Isn't it great? Now I'd like to tell it to Phil Brooks. If I could please ask CM Punk to come out to the ring please?"

It took a while, but Phil's music played and he made his way to the ring. When he was finally in, he was face to face with Maria.

"Well Ria, you asked me to come down here. What is the big announcement?" asked Phil.

"Phil, I do not know how to say this, but um…" She paused before finishing, unsure as to whether or not she wanted to continue.

"… I'm… PREGNANT!" Maria shouted out loud, finishing her sentence.

At first, Phil looked shocked by Maria's announcement. However, the shock was taken over by happiness and excitement.

"Oh! Oh God! This is great Maria! Maybe now we can start our own family!" Phil cried, giving Maria a hug.

Just then, a dark red mist surrounded the ring, eerie vampire music started playing, and the crowd heard the voice of Kevin Thorn.

"Oooh. Maria. I do wish you hadn't told Phil that you were pregnant with his baby. Next week, at the Royal Rumble, I will make you tell me that I'm the father of that child and not Phil Brooks!" Kevin's voice shouted.

By the time the mist was gone and the music stopped, Maria was sobbing hysterically.

"Fuck you, Kevin! You hear me?! FUCK YOU!!!!" Phil screamed at nobody in particular. Then he took a crying Maria out of the ring to the back, where the guys were waiting, as fast as he could.

A/N: Tada! All finished. You know how sometimes Superstars cut promos, but don't appear on TV even though they are in the arena? Well, that's what I wanted my Kevin muse to do. Wanted to be a little more suspenseful. LOL! What do ya think??
