*Thank-you for the reviews on the last chapter they were greatly appreciated. Thank-you so much!*
About a week later Tayla was waiting for Roman outside of the locker room after his first wrestling match. She couldn't have been prouder of Roman and neither could his family. It all came natural to him and it seemed as if he had been doing it for his entire life and by the end of the match he had the crowd behind him 100% he went out and gave it his all. Tayla saw his future as a wrestler being a great one. He was going to be WWE champ one day and she knew it. Roman walked out of the locker room looking as if he had just gotten out of the shower. "Mr. Reigns," said Tayla with a smile, "can I have your autograph?"
"You can have a lot more than my autograph, Mrs. Reigns," he said with a smile before he kissed her lips softly. "So what did you think?" he asked as he took her hand as they started to walk to his car.
"It was awesome, you did awesome. I'm proud of you."
"Thanks," he said with a smile as he opened Tayla's car door for her. "There are some things I could work on though. I botched a few moves."
"I couldn't even tell," said Tayla, "so when do you think you're going to get into developmental?"
"I don't know. I hope soon," he said. "Although I really need to work hard at some of my in ring skills."
"You're such a perfectionist," said Tayla with a smile as she looked over at Roman as he drove them home. "But I like it."
"I always say perfect practice makes perfect. If you practice something wrong then you're always going to do it wrong."
"That's true," she said. "Just don't forget about me when you get to WWE."
"Forget about you? How could I forget about my number 1 fan, the mother of my child and my beautiful wife? Everything I do is for you and our little bean. This is for both of you so that you both can have the life you deserve," he said as he reached and placed his hand onto Tayla's stomach making her smile. She loved when he would touch her stomach but her favorite thing was when he would talk to the baby even though it couldn't hear him he still talked to it as if it were listening to him. Tayla could see it in his eyes that he was so in love with the baby already and he was so proud he was going to be a dad.
"Just making sure," she said with a smile as she placed her hand over Roman's on her stomach. "We will always be your number 1 fans."
"I know you will," said Roman with a smile. "So did you register for classes yet?" asked Roman. He wasn't going to let Tayla back out of her plans of going back to school. He wanted her to go back and wanted her to get an education and get to do what she wanted to do.
"Yeah," she said. "I start at the end of August. Don't worry I'm going back to school."
"Good," he said. "I just want you to make the best out of life that you can. Still going to be a teacher?"
"Yep," she said. "I did think about doing business management."
"Stepping into my territory I see," he said with a smile. "Although I can see you being a boss; management would actually be a good major for you."
"No I love children and I really want to teach them. I want a bunch of children of my own though."
"I'll see what I can do about that," he said with a smile. "I love you, Tayla."
"I love you too," she said as they pulled into their apartment complex. "So do you want to go celebrate your first match?" she asked with a smile as they entered their apartment.
"Do you even have to ask? You know I do," he said with a smile as he picked her up and carried her to their bedroom where they spent time making love to each other to celebrate Roman's first match as well as his first victory.
The next day Roman and Tayla were at their OB/GYN to get their 8 week ultrasound even though Tayla was at the 9 week mark. They were both very excited to see their little bean once again and to see how much it has grown in the last couple weeks. They were waiting for the ultrasound tech to come into the room to do the ultrasound while Tayla sat on the bed. "When do you think I'll start showing?"
"I don't know," said Roman. "The book said probably around week 12 so soon but you're definitely showing in the boob area."
"You would notice my boobs being bigger."
"Well," said Roman with a smile. "They are. No complaints here."
"Shut up," she said with a smile as the tech came into the room to do the ultrasound. She had to agree with Roman her boobs had gotten bigger since she got pregnant.
"How are you today, Mrs. Reigns?" asked the tech.
"Good," she said with a smile as Roman came over to sit next to her so he could hold her hand during the ultrasound.
"That's good. If you could just lay back I can prep you for the ultrasound. I'm not doing internal today. I'm just going to take the Doppler over your stomach. Are you okay with that?"
"That's fine with me," said Tayla as she lay on the table. The ultrasound tech lifted up her shirt to expose her non-growing stomach. She wished she had a baby bump but she didn't get that far yet. The tech put gel onto Tayla's stomach causing her to squirm. "That's cold."
"Sorry," he said as he turned on the machine and then took the Doppler to her stomach. He moved it around on the gel pressing on her stomach. He moved it around until he found the baby. "And there it is," he said with a smile pointing to their tiny baby on the screen. It looked like a baby more now then it did a couple weeks ago.
"Roman, look," said Tayla. "Look at our baby!"
"It's beautiful," he said. "It actually looks like a baby. Look at its head. And its little hands. Oh my gosh it's like a little tiny baby."
"It is a tiny baby," said Tayla with a smile. "Our baby." Tayla got tears in her eyes as she looked at their baby on the screen. She had wanted this for so long and it was finally happening for them.
"When will we be able to know if it's a boy or a girl?" asked Roman.
"Not until about 20 weeks," said the tech. "Sometimes at the NT scan you'll be able to tell but even then it's not 100% accurate. For the accurate gender would be 20 weeks."
"Okay," said Roman.
"Everything looks good with the baby. You're measuring on time and the baby is measuring right. And it has a nice strong heartbeat."
"You can see the heartbeat?" asked Tayla.
"Yeah," said the tech pointing to the screen. "That little flicker right there is its heartbeat."
"Cool," said Tayla.
"And it looks like you're still due March 9," said the tech. "Would you like me to print off any pictures?"
"Please," said Tayla. "I love looking at them."
"Okay," he said as he started to print off pictures for them. "Like I said everything is looking good and the baby looks very good. Any other questions?"
"Tayla had a little bit of spotting," said Roman. Tayla was spotting a couple days earlier, "is that normal?"
"Yes," said the tech, "sometimes women spot during pregnancy as long as there isn't any cramping you should be all right but like I said the baby looks good and the heartbeat is strong so I would say you're all right."
"Okay," said Roman. He felt relieved knowing that it was okay as long as she wasn't cramping and knowing that the baby was fine with a strong heartbeat. Tayla was relieved as well.
After their appointment Tayla and Roman went to his parents' house to visit for the afternoon. "How did the ultrasound go?" asked Joanne as they sat in the living room. It was too hot to go outside in the Pensacola heat.
"It went well," said Tayla with a smile. "We got pictures!"
"Let me see," said Joanne with a smile as Tayla handed her the pictures. "Oh my gosh," she said, "look at that little baby! It's so tiny. And it has little hands. It's so cute," she said in awe of her grandchild. Roman and Tayla smiled at how happy she was. "What are you two hoping for?"
"I want a girl," said Tayla, "but Roman wants a boy."
"We do need another grandson," said Joanne, "so I'm going with Roman. I hope it's a little boy. What did they say? Is everything all right with it?"
"Strong heartbeat and is measuring right on track," said Roman with a smile. "I brought up Tayla's spotting though but he said that was normal as long as she doesn't have cramping with it. So that takes some worry off of me."
"It is normal," said Joanne, "I told you that. I spotted with you and look at you now. You're 24 years old and doing just fine. It happens sometimes. It's not a big issue unless there is cramping like the doctor told you."
"Well, she is my wife and it is my baby I was just being a worried father/husband."
"I know," said Joanne with a smile as she handed the pictures back to them. "I am so excited!"
"We are too," said Tayla with a smile.
"And how is work, Tayla, I know at the beginning they were having issues with you not being able to do as much as you were. You're not lifting anyone are you?"
"She better not be," said Roman.
"No, I'm not. I'm being a receptionist from now until the baby is born. It was a pay cut but it's only temporary. Roman won't let me do anything. He is ridiculous. He waits on me hand and foot."
"That's what happens," said Joanne with a smile. "Enjoy it while you can."
"I plan to," she said with a smile as she took Roman's hand.
"So Tayla's birthday is in a few days. Do you two have any plans?"
"Not really," said Tayla. "I work on my birthday but Roman and I will probably just go out for dinner afterward or something. I don't know."
"We'll do a little more than just go out to eat," he said with a smile.
"Roman," said Tayla as her face turned red. She knew exactly what he was talking about. She was embarrassed that he said it in front of his mom. It's not like his mom didn't know they were having sex. She knew they were having sex that one Christmas when Alana walked in on them and they were married not to mention the fact she was pregnant. It wasn't a big secret she just didn't like him saying that kind of stuff in front of his mom.
"I know. I'm sorry," he said. "No but I do want to have a little party for you. If you want me to."
"No," she said. "I'm good with just going out to eat and not doing anything else."
"That's fine too," he said with a smile. "It's all about what you want. It's your day."
"Thank-you," she said with a smile. "And you still owe me that lasagna dinner don't think I've forgotten about that."
"But you don't like sauce," he said, "or Bean doesn't like sauce."
"I think Bean and I can make an exception."
"What lasagna dinner?" asked Joanne.
"Roman is going to make me lasagna for my birthday."
"Really, Roman? I didn't know you could cook lasagna."
"I got the recipe from Chelsea's mom so I'll make it for Tayla whenever she wants it. I just thought with the sauce making her sick I should wait."
"Well, you need to tell me how that turns out," said Joanne. "You get married and then you start cooking. Tayla hit the jackpot."
"I know," said Tayla with a smile. She felt very lucky to have Roman for her husband as well as the father of her baby. "He is so great because he had a great mom that raised him."
"That's true," said Roman. "My mom made me the man I am today. She worked hard to make sure we turned out the right way. She had the toughest job of all."
"Well, she did an awesome job," said Tayla with a smile. She then started to wonder if she would be able to do as great a job as Joanne did when it came to her and Roman's child or children. Would she be able to be a single parent and would she be able to handle the role of parenting while her husband was gone almost every day of the year? She wasn't sure that she could.
*A/N: So what did you think? I know wasn't really eventful but usually my non-eventful chapters are a key to a future chapter. So first How beautiful and wonderful is it to see how happy Roman and Tayla are over their little baby? And Tayla was spotting is that good or bad even though the baby looks great? Will Roman do what Tayla asks for her birthday or will he go above and beyond like he usually does to make her birthday the greatest birthday ever? At the end it appears that Tayla is having a little bit of doubt about Roman's career choice. Do you think she'll say something or no? Please review and thank-you for reading.
