Valentina had a match tonight. Charlotte wanted a rematch on SmackDown. Eva went over to Val's things and went through them.
"What are you doing?", Cameron asked her.
"Looking for her damn ring", Eva said, grabbing Val's purse.
"What do you want with her ring?", Cameron asked.
Eva rolled her eyes, annoyed with the millions of questions Cameron was asking.
"Maybe if she stops wearing it, he'll think she wants nothing to do with him and leave her. Her wearing her ring is the only reason he's taking her back", Eva said.
Cameron crossed her arms over her chest.
"I've known both of them since FCW, I don't think the ring is the reason", she said.
Eva glared at Cameron, before going back to the purse.
"Where does she put it?", Eva asked.
Cameron shook her head and walked back over to her bag.
"Nope, I don't want to be involved, this is all you. Your mess, not mine", Cameron said, before walking out.
Eva groaned. Checking the last pocket inside the purse. She smiled when she felt the velvet box. Pulling it out and opening it. The beautiful ring sat in the middle.
"You're mine now", she said to the ring.
She pulled the ring out and closed the box, placing the now empty box in Val's purse. Walking over to her purse, she placed the ring inside.
Some of the girls started walking in. Val walked in with Charlotte.
"Congrats on the win Val", Eva said, grabbing her things before walking out.
Everyone looked at her, surprised.
"That was Eva Marie right?", Naomi asked.
"Weird", Val said, placing the title on the bench.
She showered and changed.
She couldn't stop smiling, her eyes never leaving the pregnancy tests, all five. She couldn't believe it, they were all positive.
"Do you always take this long to pee?", Dean asked, standing outside of her bathroom door.
She picked up each test and pushed them back into the box. She didn't want Roman finding out yet. She opened the door and Dean almost fell back, seeing as he was leaning against it.
"About time, what were you doing in there?", he asked.
Val had to tell someone.
"I'm pregnant", she said.
Dean stopped chewing on his gum.
"Really? Like pregnant pregnant, there's a little person in there", Dean said.
Val nodded. He knew Roman was going to be over the moon, from the moment he married Val, all he could talk about was knocking her up and starting a family. He hugged his friend.
"Congrats Val, you have to tell him. He's going to be so excited", Dean said.
"I was planning on surprising him, he's going home for his dad's birthday next weekend, kill two birds with one stone.", Val said.
His family was going to be overjoyed as well. Dean nodded, agreeing this was a good idea. After Seth and Roman came back with lunch, Val kissed him.
He moaned into it.
"Damn baby, that was wonderful", he whispered.
She smiled and nudged his nose with hers. Dean smiled at his friends, knowing why she was being lovey towards his brother. Seth nudged him.
"What's going on?", Seth whispered.
"She's pregnant", Dean whispered back.
Seth was about to jump on the couple but Dean stopped him.
"She wants to surprise him, you can't say anything till he tells you", Dean said.
Seth pouted, it was hard for him to keep secrets for too long.
"Lets eat", Roman said.
"Good because I'm starving", Val said.
"I bet", Seth said, giving her a knowing smirk.
She raised her brow, she knew Dean told him, she just hoped he wouldn't tell Roman or anyone else.
"Val, need a ride?", Paige asked.
"Let me text Roman, he didn't say anything", Val said.
Paige nodded and sat beside her. Gabe was with Dean and Seth right now. Roman texted back that he would drive her.
"He's giving me a ride", Val said.
"A ride on his d", Nattie gasped, stopping Paige.
"Paige", Nattie blushed.
Paige and Val laughed.
"There's nothing wrong with that word Nattie, besides they're married. I'm sure she's ridden him thousands of times", Paige said.
Nattie laughed and shook her head. Val zipped up her bag and grabbed her purse, pulling out the ring box. It was empty.
"My ring is gone", Val said.
Paige and Nattie looked around.
"Are you sure you put it in there?", Paige asked.
Val nodded, she could feel tears wanting to fall.
"I always put it in there for this specific reason, I have to find it", Val said, getting on her hands and knees.
"Ok, just calm down, I'm sure it's here somewhere", Nattie said.
"I'll text the girls to see if they saw anything", Paige said.
Nattie looked in the bathroom. Val checked every crack and small space it could fit in. They looked for what felt like forever. Checking the same places twice. Someone knocked.
"Val, you in there?", Roman asked from outside.
Her tears finally fell.
"He's going to be so mad", she said.
Paige rubbed her arms.
"He's not, you didn't lose it on purpose", Paige said.
Nattie opened the door. Dean and Roman stood there. She opened the door wider, Roman walked in and saw Val.
"What's wrong?", he asked Val.
He cupped her face in his hands. She bit her lip.
"My ring is missing, I always place it in the ring box and it's not there", Val cried.
"Did you check your purse?", he asked.
She nodded.
"Three times and then Nattie checked it", Val said.
Roman nodded. Val sat on the bench and hugged her purse.
"We'll wait outside", Dean said.
Hearing the door close.
"Its ok baby girl", Roman said, bending down in front of her.
She shook her head no.
"There were only two things I had left of you, that ring was one of them and it's gone", Val cried.
"I'm still here Valentina, you still have me. Yes it sucks but I can always get you a new ring", Roman said, rubbing her cheek with his thumb.
"I don't want a new ring, you worked so hard for that one and owed so many people money", she said.
Roman smiled.
"Finally finished paying Dean and Seth back", he chuckled.
Val laughed softly and wiped her cheeks.
"Listen to me baby, it's ok. I know you don't want a new ring but maybe since we're starting over, it would be a good idea to buy a new ring.", he said.
She looked down at her ring less hand. Roman took her hand and kissed it.
"Come on Val", he said softly.
She nodded and they walked out. Roman took his bag and hers.
"Where's Gabe?", she asked.
"Seth and Nikki took him. As soon as we get to the hotel they'll take him to your room", he said.
Val nodded. Roman wished he could magically find her ring and save the day but he couldn't. He hated seeing Val so sad.
Roman had walked into the FCW warehouse where he would be trying out. Taking a good look around.
"Hey, you trying out too?", a blonde guy asked.
Roman nodded.
"Yeah, you?", he asked.
This guy nodded.
"I'm Dean", he said, holding out his hand.
"Roman", he said.
He did a double take, the most beautiful woman he's ever seen was in the ring across the room. Dean nudged him.
"You're drooling", Dean said.
Roman chuckled and sighed.
"Go over there, introduce yourself", Dean said.
"Her name's Valentina", they turned to see a guy walk up to them and he sent them a nod.
Valentina. Roman thought.
"Seth", he said.
"Dean and this is Roman", Dean said.
"Almost all the guys here have tried to hit on her but she's not having it. Maybe you'll have a better chance", Seth said.
"I take that as a challenge", Roman said.
"I got fifty on you", Dean said.
Roman made his way over to the ring. Val noticed and sighed, here came another jerk.
"Girl, you have to tell me your secret", Carmella said.
"Trust me, you don't want this secret. All jerks", Val said.
"Hey you never know, you just might find the diamond in the rough of those jerks", Carmella said.
Roman leaned against the ropes.
"Hi", he said.
Val ignored him. He cleared his throat.
"My name's Roman", he said.
She went over to him and bent down to be eye level with him. He was attractive.
"Ok, let's just get this over with. Spill your lines and ask me out. I'm going to try to politely decline which is going to cause you to call me a bitch. Then one of your friends over there is going to think he has a better chance than you and come over here to ask me out but the results will still be the same", Val said.
She stood and went back over to Carmella.
"Wrong", he said smirking.
She looked at him and crossed her arms over her chest.
"I mean, yes I find you absolutely attractive but I wasn't going to spill any lines. I would never call you a bitch, my mom and sisters would hang me. My new friends won't ask you out because they know I like you. I just wanted to introduce myself and yes ask you out, if you don't do food, I hear coffee is good", he said.
She couldn't help but to smile.
"Like I said, my name's Roman", he said.
"Valentina", she said.
"Its nice to meet you Val. So about that date", he said.
"I like coffee but I prefer food on a first date", she said, making him smile.
"Well alright than, I'll get your number after you're done", he said, walking backwards.
She nodded.
