Hey guys! Just wanted to start this new story after watching hours of The Shield on the network. I'm thinking this maybe a short story just up until the wedding then maybe a squeal after. I hope you guys like it and be sure to review!


Divorce, a word Roman never thought he would hear in his life. He and Galina had been together for awhile but with him on the road all the time and taking more of a role in the company, that meant he would be away longer than he used to be. They had been having issues the past few months and it hit a tipping point when he came home from the European tour to an empty house and divorce papers asking for alimony and child support for their daughter Joelle. Living alone was weird for him so far, not that he had been home that much so far. He decided to start working more dates now that he only got to see Joelle 2 days every other week. The more he worked the more he could take his mind off of what was happening in his personal life.

He walked into Raw taking a deep breath and looking around. This was Day 6 on the road and to say he was exhausted was the understatement of the century. He did actually have something to look forward to on his next days off, he was going to be one of the best men in Dean's wedding; which was something he never thought he would say. Dean and Seth were the ones who were perpetually single while he was the "boring" married one. They loved breaking girls hearts and having a good time, that all changed once Paige became his girlfriend. She had gotten out of a bad relationship when Dean decided to ask her out, now here they were almost 2 years later getting married. He and Seth were going to fly there together after Smackdown the next day and have Dean's bachelor party.

"Hey! Roman!" Seth said walking towards him as Roman shot him a smile knowing that Seth would probably bring up the party that they were throwing.
"So are you ready for this party! It's gonna be great! We are going to one of the best strip clubs on the strip" Seth said before looking over at Roman who was looking down.
"Dude… you got divorced. You can't still think…" Seth started to say as Roman cut him off quickly.
"It's not that, I just am not a fan of strip clubs. I doubt Dean or Paige will like it either" Roman said before walking away from him not wanting to tell him the truth that he wasn't ready for it.
"BUT… That's what you do at a bachelor party!" Seth called out after him as Roman walked into his locker room ignoring everyone watching him walk away.

He sat down looking at the booking schedule that was emailed to him. He noticed he and Sasha had a mixed tag that night. They had matches like this before and never had a problem before. They were a lot alike, both hard workers who loved to win; she was a great girl as well. He got up walking out the door looking around to see if Seth was anywhere around. When he saw that the coast was clear, he walked towards the Women's locker room before knocking politely and seeing Bayley answer.
"Hey Roman, what can I do for you?" Bayley asked as Roman smiled politely at her.
"Is Sasha here? We gotta go over our match" Roman said as Bayley nodded before stopping.
"Listen… Sasha isn't in a good place right now though. I know you need to talk about work but… Sarath filed for divorce last week. She's still kinda upset about it all" Bayley said warning him as Roman slowly nodded taking in that Sasha was going through what he had also gone through not that long ago.
"Well, I'll make sure to not bring it up" Roman said as Bayley smiled at him before opening the door wider and going to get Sasha for him. She appeared at the door with a look of sadness in her eyes. Her pink hair was pulled back in a messy bun and she was just in her sweats.

"Roman, hey. Let's go over the match" Sasha said trying to hide the fact she was sad while closing the door behind her as they walked down the hall a bit. Once they reached the gorilla, Roman stopped her and hugged her tightly.
"I heard about what happened" Roman whispered as Sasha instantly started to break down in his arms.
"He… He cheated on me" she whispered between soft sobs and held onto him tightly. Roman tried not to growl knowing that Sasha didn't deserve to be cheated on, hell nobody deserved that.
"He's an idiot" Roman said keeping her close to him and rubbing her back gently while she cried.
"He left me for her" Sasha whispered as another sob shook through her small frame. Roman shook his head getting even angrier at Sasha's now ex. The fact that the loser had the gall to leave Sasha for the other woman made it worse. He didn't know what else he could say to make her feel better.
"I'm so sorry" he whispered knowing that it was the only thing he could think of saying to her at the moment. They stood for a few minutes before Sasha pulled back and wiped her tears.
"Come on… enough of me crying let's figure this match out" she said as Roman smiled at her seeing that she was still hurt and still upset even if she put on a brace face.
"Yeah, let's go talk through this match" Roman said as they walked through the curtain down to the ring.

Just down the hall, Becky was in search of Seth to talk about wedding things. She was one of Paige's bridesmaids and she had the luck in walking with Seth in the wedding even though she had told Paige she wanted to walk the down the aisle with someone else. The second she spotted Seth's black and bleach blond hair, she hurried to catch up to him.
"Hey! Seth! Wait up" Becky called out, her Irish accent echoing through the halls of the arena. Seth turned around seeing Becky rushing towards him
"Well if it isn't Ms. Lynch, the beautiful woman I get to walk down the aisle" Seth said with a smirk as Becky rolled her eyes. Seth was always like this with her and she wouldn't admit it to anyone but she thought he was attractive even though he could be a bit of a jerk sometimes.
"Yeah yeah, anyway I needed to find you because Paige wants the two of us to help her out on Friday before your… night of debauchery" Becky said as Seth shrugged before cracking a smile.
"I mean what else can we do? Is this just Paige freaking out because she's gonna be Paige Ambrose in a few days" Seth said knowing that the closer to the wedding they got, the more Paige worried about everything. He was thankful that Dean had his usual self minus what Seth called 'being whipped'.
"Come on, I told her I would talk to you. She said she needs us to pick up a couple things on Friday. I promise, you'll be home in plenty of time for strippers and liquor" Becky said rolling her eyes as Seth finally just nodded agreeing to help her out.
"Thank you, now I'll see you in Vegas" Becky said walking off towards the Women's locker room trying not to think about what madness Seth would get into at the party.
"I better not miss anything" Seth mumbled to himself before walking towards his locker room in a huff.
