I apologize for the delay in updates, hope you all will enjoy the new chapter.

Chapter 25:

The following week came quicker than Davina expected it to. She was nervous upon seeing Roman face to face after the truth came out about her relation to him. Her hand trembled in her lap in the small doctor's office exam room, she had just gotten several x-rays done on her collarbone and an MRI on the torn muscle in her neck. It was hard to believe that had been three weeks since the incident happened in the first place. Time was just flying by.

Davina's mind floated back to laying the middle of the ring, unable to feel her limbs at all. Randy hovered above her, frantically trying to get help for her. His eyes were full of fear. A fear she'd never known him to have. It made her feel wanted and loved to know that he cared that much about her. The three words escaped his lips in the hospital and it was the most real thing she had ever felt in her entire life.

"Okay Davina, let's see how we are looking today..." The doctor stated the moment he walked into the room.

The older man walked across the room toward the black light on the far wall. He placed the x-rays upon the flat surface and switched on the light. Her bones were completely visible to her eyes. She nervously bit her bottom lip, hoping for good news. "Looks like your collarbone is almost healed completely, which is unusual for an adult." He commented.

"What does that mean?" She asked curiously.

"Means it wasn't as broken as we first thought it was, which is good. Your neck; however, is another story completely."

She definitely didn't like the sound of that at all. Her heart was pounding against her chest, causing her to heat up. The thought of never being able to wrestle again tore her to pieces. It wasn't just because of Randy anymore, there was so much more to it now. "The tear is not healing on it's own like I thought it would. I am suggesting surgery at this point."

"Okay...how soon can that happen?" She asked trying to keep her voice from cracking.

"I would say I can do it within the next couple of day. I'd have to look at my schedule to be sure."

She looked down towards the floor, hiding her face. Things were just taking a turn south. She always had a positive view on her parents; but that was proven to be false. Her injury was supposed to heal on its own and that was proven false as well. She honestly had no idea how much more she could take. Nikki was no doubt having a field day in her absence and that thought alone made her blood boil.

The surgery was set for three days after the current one. She really wanted to see Randy before it happened. She needed his comfort and support, just plain needed him to be there. Her legs carried her out of the doctor's office and out to the parking lot. The warm air caressed her skin, licking her red locks. Her black car flashed when her finger hit the unlock button for the doors. Pulling the door open, she sat down behind the wheel and swiftly closed the door before allowing her pent up frustration out in a loud scream.

'Angel Eyes' by New Years Day sounded, indicating that she had an incoming phone call. Her eyes shifted down to the device in the center cup holder. A photo of her and Randy together was displayed on the screen making her know exactly who was calling her. Clearing her throat, she answered as cheerfully as possible.

"Hey sweetheart, how did the appointment go?" He asked.

"The collarbone is almost healed up."

"That's great news! What about the neck?"

Davina quickly went silent. The burning behind her eyes returned and the words completely escaped her mouth. Randy could tell that it obviously wasn't good with the silence being the only thing he could hear. "What's wrong? Is it bad?" He questioned wanting so desperately to be right next to her instead of thousands of miles away.

"I need surgery...he said it wasn't healing like he thought it would..."

"Oh hunnie, I wish there was something I could do to help..."

The tears broke free and trickled down her cheeks in a warm stream. Her sobs broke his heart. If there was one thing he couldn't stand, it was seeing or hearing her cry. "I don't know what to think...I don't want them to say I can never wrestle again..." She cried leaning her forehead against the top of the steering wheel.

"Don't think like that! We will get a second opinion if you want to..."

"I know I said I'd never ask; but...will you come home?"

His mouth hung open a moment, registering the fact that she asked him to come home before a smile came to his lips. He was thrilled that she wanted him to come to her and could only imagine how upset she looked in that moment. "I'll see if I can work something out with Hunter. I have plenty of time off that I've earned over the years. Maybe I can take a week off and spend it with you."

"That would actually be good since my surgery is in three days."

"Oh I definitely taking time off now! Okay, meet up with Roman and I'll see you soon enough..."

"I love you..."

"I love you to, princess."

The line went dead and Davina sat the device back down in the holder. Her hand moved forward turning the ignition. She drove back out into traffic and thought about what could be said while meeting Roman since finding out that they were related. Her stomach coiled tightly as the butterflies fluttered, bouncing off every wall inside.

She pulled into the driveway to her house only to see another car parked and Roman sitting on the front step to the main door. His long hair was down and blowing in the warm breeze. His jade eyes met her own, as if he had been waiting there a while.

"Hey..." He said warmly.

"Hi..." She replied unable to figure out exactly what to say to him.

Davina walked up the steps to the front door and unlocked it, allowing him inside her own personal space. He took a quick glance around the second he stepped inside. Everything that he had learned about her over the last couple of years was pretty much sitting inside her living room. The trophies that sat across the mantle was an indication that she had a well renowned voice; that was something he didn't know about her.

"How long did you know?" She asked softly walking towards the fridge for two bottles of beer.

"Seven years..." He replied hesitantly.

She handed him the extra bottle before sitting down on one of the bar stools around the island. He sat down on one opposite of her and took a sip from the beer. The fact that he had known for seven years that she was his sister upset her; however, when she thought about it, she never would have believed him. Her parents image was a perfect thought. That is...until she found the letter in things left behind for her.

"I wish I would have told you sooner..." He said again hoping it would comfort her in some way.

"It wouldn't have mattered if you did. I wouldn't have believed you. They really made me thing I was theirs and that we traveled so much because of my father's job...boy was I ever wrong..."

Roman watched her look away. There was a lot to take in and it would take time for things to be less awkward between them. They didn't grow up together. They didn't do family things together. They weren't even friends. "I've been watching out for you ever since you started up in NXT. I'm the one that suggested that Hunter and Stephanie take a closer look at you." He admitted.

"You...asked them...?"

"Yeah, I mean I knew you had the talent to go far within the company. Maybe enough to be the next Divas Champion..."

"That's pretty doubtful right now..."

He cocked his head to the side, not understanding why she would say such a thing about herself. Her NXT matches were downright impressive. There was no way that she'd never be champion in her career. She had the talent for it regardless of what people thought about her. "Why do you say that?" He asked taking another drink from his beer.

"One, Stephanie hates me and second...I'm injured. I have to have surgery because my neck wasn't healing like the doctor thought it would."

"Davina, wrestling is in your blood. Our dad was part of the Wild Samoans and now a hall of famer. The Uso's are our cousins along with Tamina,The Rock and Rikishi."

"I understand that; but I didn't grow up with any of them. I don't know them closely. This is really hard for me to grasp."

He understood. He really did. Everything she said was the truth. She didn't know anyone he spoke of closely. The bottle of beer in front of her was quickly becoming empty and it was out of frustration and fear. Davina tucked a large chunk of her hair behind her ear before looking up from her now empty bottle. "Take all the time you need. I'm not going anywhere. Nothing will change...I'll still be looking out for you just like I have for the last seven years."

It was the first time since she found out about the relation that she smiled. It made her feel good to know that he was looking out for her. Was it just how a brother was supposed to act? She got up to get another beer from the fridge and sat back down across from Roman. "So Randy Orton huh?" Roman stated with a raised eyebrow.

"You're not going to go all brotherly on me about me dating him are you?" She asked.

"Not entirely; but I will say this though...I've seen you get hurt in the past; so if he hurts you, then I'll be kicking his ass."

A laugh escaped her mouth before she could hold it back. A swell of happiness engulfed her and she wondered if that was what it was like to have a brother. Roman tilted his head back to finish the last bit of alcohol in the bottle. Davina pulled out her phone and plugged it into a blue tooth speaker system. Her finger searched for the app in mind and quickly loaded it. 'Plush' by Stone Temple Pilots started up the second she reached for another beer to give Roman.

Backstage at Live Event

Randy went on a search for Hunter after his match was over. He couldn't wait any longer. Davina's surgery was inching closer and he needed to be there for her through it all. Weaving his way through the stage crew and trainers, he finally made it to the office when Hunter and Stephanie stationed themselves.

He swiftly knocked on the door, hoping that one of them would be present. After waiting a few seconds, Hunter answered the door. The look on his face was that of confusion. "Randy? What's up?" He asked softly so as not to disturb the meet inside.

"I need some time off..."

"Why? You sound distraught..."

"Davina is having surgery in a couple days. She's going to need some help. She's got no one."

Hunter knew where he was coming from. Stephanie was there for him after all of his surgeries in the past. Neck surgeries weren't something to take lightly and he knew it. There was a very real chance that she would never wrestle again even after the procedure. He nodded his head before stating, "Go ahead take a week or so, we will just push back plans a little bit. It won't hurt anything. I'll call her sometime tomorrow to check in."

"Thank you..."

He turned away from his boss/friend and headed back in the direction of his own locker-room to begin packing. The search for a flight was going to be the hardest part of the night. His hand reached for his phone, "I'll be heading your way the second I can get a flight. Hunter okay'd the time off. Love you."

Randy stopped walking when he noticed Nikki approaching him. It was the first time he'd seen her without Seth right by her side. Her long light brown hair was pulled up into a ponytail contrasting to her outfit. Skinny jeans with heeled sandals with a tight black crop tank top. He really didn't want to talk to her; but the concern was written on her face, so maybe she actually grew a conscious.

"How is she doing?" Nikki asked stopping right in front of him.

"She needs surgery. I'm taking time off to be with her for that." He replied making his response as short as possible.

"That's good. She needs support. Well I hope it turns out okay...I really do."

He nodded and allowed her to walk on. It was unusual for her to think of anyone else but herself; but it sincere. It was written all over her face. He had to thank Seth for giving Brie her sister back. He looked back down at his phone to continue his search for a flight.

Nikki stopped and turned back around to watch him continue on. A warm hand touched her bare back, startling her. Her eyes made contact with those of Seth Rollins. He leaned in to kiss the top of her head. "She needs surgery. This was not supposed to happen. She was supposed to be here fighting against me tooth and nail. Battling me for everything...this sucks..."

"She's a tough girl and Randy will be there every step of the way. He'd never let her give up."

"I hope you're right. I'd prefer not to drop this title to anyone else..."

Seth wrapped a comforting arm around her shoulders. It took a lot to say those words, especially out loud for him to hear. The title meant so much to her that he never thought she'd willingly give it up to someone else. She's come a long way since they started seeing each other. Her smile was full of happiness instead of evil intentions. She was truly beautiful now and all his. Her lips grazed over his in a soft chaste kiss, allowing him to know that she felt that same way about him.
