Roman headed to O'Ryan's bar after work to have a drink. After the day he had, he just wanted to relax a little bit. Some orders at work got mixed up and he had spent his day fixing them. He headed in and sat at the bar.

"Roman, how are you fellow?" Sheamus asked him. He ran the bar and knew everyone by name.

"I'm alright. Rough day at work. Can I get a draft?"

"Sure." He walked over to the tap and got him a glass. "Here you go. Anything you want to talk about?"

"Not now but thanks." Sheamus nodded and headed back to the other end.

Roman took a sip of the beer as someone sat down by him. "Randy, long time." He heard Sheamus say.

"Yeah. Can I get a beer?" He said as Sheamus got the glass. Randy turned to Roman. "I'm surprised to see you here."

"Just having a beer." Roman replied.

Randy sighed. "Roman, we need to talk. I want us to talk."

"Okay. Let's talk about how crazy your wife is."

"What are you talking about?" Randy asked him.

"You don't know?" Roman laughed. "Well, I would say I'm shocked but I'm not."

"What did Avery do?" Randy asked him.

"She just went over to Keely's, on Christmas Eve, and really tore into her. She called her a whore and accused her of wanting me while she was married to Seth. She told her that losing that baby was the best thing that could have happened to her and she would have been a horrible mother."

Randy sat there not believing Avery would say that. "Come on, Roman. Avery wouldn't say that. Not to Keely."

"Yes, she would. I don't know what her problem is but she needs to get over it."

Randy sighed. "I can't see her saying that. And to be fair, Seth called me the night of the accident and said he and Keely had a fight and he left."

"Are you sure that's what you heard?" Roman asked him. "Because you told everyone it was a bad connection."

"It was a bad connection." Randy thought for a minute. "I remember him saying he and Keely and then it cut out and he said he had left and it cut out."

Roman sighed. "Well, let me fill you in on what really happened. Keely and Seth had decided to make you and Avery godparents,even though it was early. And he had left because Keely wanted some dessert. There was no fight."

Randy sat there and sighed. "I misunderstood him." He replied. "I still can't believe Avery would say those things to Keely."

"Ask her about it." Roman replied.

Randy sighed. "Roman, I want us to talk about what happened. I hate that we hurt you like we did. But we fell in love. It wasn't planned but we did. I love Avery more than anything. She is my world. But I am very sorry we hurt you like we did."

"What hurt the most is that we were supposed to be friends. I knew there were problems in my marriage. I was away a lot with work and then my Dad got sick. I never thought in a million years you would have betrayed me like that. And then you couldn't even tell me yourself. I had to come home and find the two of you in bed together. But it's done now. You've got her and you're starting a family together. It took a while but I'm over it. And I wish you both nothing but happiness. But you have to ask yourself one question: Why is YOUR wife so concerned with what her ex husband is doing?" Roman said as he threw a couple of bucks down on the bar and walked away.

Randy finished his own drink and headed out. He and his wife had some things to talk about. He got into his car and drove home. He saw that Avery's car was in the driveway. He got out and headed in.

"Hey, you're home." She smiled when she greeted him. She kissed him and pulled away. "Everything okay?"

"No, I ran into Roman at O'Ryan's." He said looking at her. "He told me about your talk with Keely. Did you really say those things to her? Did you call her a whore and say that losing that baby was the best thing that could have happened to her?"

She sighed. "I did say it." She replied. "I went to talk to her. I wanted to know why she just up and decided to sleep with Roman."

Randy sighed. "Why do you care?" He asked her. "Why do you care who your ex is with? And Keely is your friend. You know how much she has been through and you were there helping and then you say those things? What's going on Avery? The truth." She looked at him. "I mean it. I want the truth and I want it now. Because you swear up and down that you don't have feelings for Roman but it sure as hell seems like you do. What's going on?"

"I don't know okay? I honestly don't know. I don't want him anymore. I love you. I'm married to you and we're starting our family together. But it's just weird for me to see him with someone else. Especially Keely. I know how stupid it sounds. I know I sound insane and I should be happy for both of them. But a part of me would rather they be miserable apart than happy together. I mean how would you feel if you saw your ex with your best friend?"

"Pretty shitty I guess. Unless I was fully committed to my new relationship."

"I am fully committed to you."

"You have a funny way of showing it. You need to get whatever this is out of your system. Because it's driving a wedge between you and everyone you love. Including me." He said as he walked out.

She sighed once he had and broke down crying. This was tearing everything apart. Everything was fine before Keely and Roman more than friends. She got up and walked to the bedroom and laid down. She would talk to Randy again when he got back. Maybe he just needed time away. She loved him so much. He was her husband and the father to be of her child. She didn't want Roman anymore and she was committed to her marriage. But it just bothered her so much that Roman and Keely were happy together. But neither of them had said they were together. It was just a one time thing. Why did it bother her so? She closed her eyes hoping she could work through whatever was going on with her. Then she could be happy with Randy and their child.

Keely headed to the gym after work. She wanted to get a last work out in for the year. She walked in and headed to the locker room change. Once she had, she walked out and over to the treadmill. She was shocked to see Randy there working out.

"I wasn't expecting you to be here." She said walking up to the weight bench.

"I just need to relieve some stress." He said as he got up. "What about you?"

"Just wanted to get a work out in before the new year starts." She smiled. "Congrats again on the baby. It's really great."

"Thank you." He looked at her. "I know about the fight between you and Avery. And I'm very sorry about what she said."

"Thank you for that." She replied. "I can't pretend it didn't hurt but its what it is. I'm just moving on from it and trying to forget it."

"I understand that." She nodded. "Are you and Roman going to Nick and Kari's New Year's Eve party?"

"I am. Nick invited Roman who invited me and then Kari invited me at work. So, I'm definitely going." She smiled. "Time to bring in a New Year. Forget the past maybe."

He nodded and smiled slightly. "You won't ever forget it but I think you're right."

"I heard you and Avery were going out of town?"

"Yeah. I think we should. We need some time away from everything. With everything lately, we need to see about reconnecting."

"I think it's a great idea. And I know she'll love it."

"Thanks." He smiled. "Well, I better get out of here and head home. You have a great work out."

"Thanks Randy." She said to him. "Randy, whatever Avery is going through right and I don't even know what it is. I know she loves you. Don't forget that."

"Thanks." He smiled once again and walked to the locker room.

She sighed and started her work out. She hoped Randy and Avery's trip out of town will have the effect it should and that Avery would realize how much she loved Randy and how much she had in life and it was stupid to take it for granted or long for more.
