Roman-
I was glad that things for Savi and Colby were getting back to normal or at least they made it look that way. Getting home, I walked in and put my suitcase by the door. I made my way to Bentley's room, he was fast asleep. Lizzy stopped bringing him to our room after he turned three months.
"Hi buddy, made it home on time for your three am bottle", I whispered.
I lifted him and carried him to the kitchen, grabbing a new bottle out of the fridge. After warming it a bit I gave it to him. He chugged it. I chuckled.
"Slow down buddy, food ain't going anywhere. As long as I'm alive you will always have what you need", I whispered.
I kissed his tiny head and he closed his eyes. I went and sat on the couch while he ate. Lizzy and I had moved in together not knowing much about one another. I didn't like asking her about her past because I didn't want to bring up something bad.
"Hey you're home. Why didn't you wake me babe?", Lizzy asked, putting her hands on my shoulders.
"Bentley was up so I figured I should feed him, let you sleep in", I said.
She came around the couch and sat beside me, leaning over to kiss me.
"I missed you", I said.
"We missed you more", she said, running her fingers gently through Bentley's hair.
"You know how much I hate having to leave you. I wish I wasn't gone so much", I said, watching Bentley finish his bottle.
"But I understand, you love wrestling and I would never dream of taking that from you", she said, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.
"I would leave it behind for you and Ben", I said, looking at her serious.
"But I wouldn't want you to do that and neither would Ben", she said.
"Maybe a couple of more years and I'll be done, maybe I can sell cars or furniture", I said smirking.
She laughed.
"I can just imagine you in a suit trying to sell someone a car", she said laughing.
"Trying? Woman, I'm gonna sell those cars. Who wouldn't want to buy a car from Roman Reigns", I said.
She bit her lip and smiled.
"He's asleep", she said, laying her head on my shoulder.
I kissed the top of her head.
"I never thought I'd be this happy, ever", I said.
"Why?", she asked.
I licked my lips and then shrugged. I couldn't tell her about my failed marriage of only five days. I cleared my throat.
"Because I really don't have time to do this you know, meet someone, date or in our case have a child and then date", I said.
We both laughed.
"But it worked out for the both of us", she said.
I nodded.
"It did, it worked out perfectly", I said.
"We should put him down", she said.
We stood and I put him back in his crib. I walked into our bedroom and kicked off my shoes, sitting down on my bed, I sighed. Lizzy was behind me massaging my shoulders and back. I moaned.
"That feels so good", I said.
"Good", she whispered, I felt her lips brush behind my ear.
Her legs wrapped around my waist, I ran my hands over her legs.
"I need a massage too", she said.
I smiled.
"Tell me where you need it", I said smirking.
I turned around and she took my hand, slipping it into her shorts.
"Here", she said.
"I can take care of that", I pressed my lips to her.
She wrapped her arms around my neck.
Lizzy-
Roman was watching Bentley for me while I was at work. I knew he was tired, but he still did it anyway. Getting inside, Savi and Carly were running around taking orders, I sent them a nod. Becky was clocking out.
"Good luck ladies", Becky said, before leaving.
Seeing Savi, I went over to her.
"Hey", she said.
"Hey, so how are things with Colby?", I asked.
"Fine. Why does everyone keep asking? We are good", she said.
"From a third person point of view, no it doesn't look good, it looks forced", I said, following her.
She stopped and turned to face me.
"Fine, things are okay. We are living in the same house just in different rooms. Our therapist says that's fine to do", she said.
"Does he say anything on how to get a man to propose to you?", I asked, leaning over the counter.
"He hasn't asked or at least mentioned it?", she asked.
I shook my head.
"He tells me he loves me and that we are everything to him, but doesn't say I can't wait to marry you", I said.
"Give him time, he will", she said.
She put the menus where they went.
"Have you told him about, you know, what you use to do before this?", she asked.
"I'm afraid too and he doesn't ask", I said.
"If you're thinking marriage you need to tell him about it. You don't want him finding out from someone else who recognizes you Liz. I know I'm the last person who should be giving out marriage advice since mine's completely torn, but you don't want him finding out from someone else", she said.
"I know, I just don't know how. What if he leaves me and Bentley? Ben doesn't deserve that", I said.
"He'll probably be mad, but he'll forgive you because he loves you and as for Ben, he would never abandon him. His son means everything to him", she said.
I nodded.
"You're right, I just need to figure out how to tell him", I said.
She nodded and smiled. Colby walked in with the kids and he looked around. He saw Savi and waved, a huge smile on his face.
"Can I ask you something Savi?", I asked.
She nodded and clocked out.
"Do you still love him the same?", I asked.
"I do, it's just a little more difficult to express it. It's hard to forget, but we are trying", she said.
"I'm glad", I said.
She smiled and grabbed her purse. She hugged me.
"See you tomorrow", she said.
I saw her walk over to him and he leaned down to kiss her. She took his hand and they left. He was trying.
Roman-
Lizzy brought home food from the diner, we sat down to eat.
"How was work?", I asked.
"Crowded", she said.
"You can't blame them, the food is too damn good. What the hell does he put in it", I said, stuffing my mouth.
She laughed.
"It's a secret, he doesn't even tell us", she said.
"He's taking it to the grave", I said, mouth full.
"I'm pretty sure he's gonna tell his kids before he dies", she said.
I nodded.
"Joe, can I ask you something?", she asked.
I nodded.
"What's up?", I asked.
"What do you think about marriage?", she asked.
I froze.
"I think it's a fifty fifty relationship. You gotta know everything about each other, even their deepest darkest secrets", I said.
"I mean, you have to have some secrets right?", she asked.
I raised a brow.
"Is there something you need to tell me?", I asked worried.
"No, I'm just asking", she said.
"I love you and I do think about marrying you some day but right now, let's enjoy our life and our son. That's okay for now, right?", I said.
She nodded.
"Yes, I love our life right now, like I said I was just wondering because we've never talked about it", she said.
"We didn't talk about kids either, but surprise", I said.
She laughed.
"When are we going to Florida to visit your family?", she asked.
"Did my mom call you?", I asked smiling.
She nodded.
"I don't mind, I love your mom", she said.
"She loves you too and hopefully soon. I really want to see them too", I said, taking a drink.
"Ever think about moving to Florida?", she asked.
"It would be nice, but I like it here too", I said.
"I wouldn't mind moving to Florida. I don't have family here so, it would be easy for me to go. I mean, as long as we visit the diner when we come to town", she said.
I nodded.
"We can definitely think about it", I said.
She smiled and nodded.
"Why do you want to move all of a sudden?", I asked.
She shrugged.
"Like I said, I have no family, besides you and Ben. All of your family is in Florida, why not. We will also have a lot of free babysitting", she said.
I laughed.
"That's true", I said.
"At least think about it?", she asked.
"I will", I said.
