"He really wants to take Noah?", Randy asked.
Roman stared at the door as he nodded.
"Know any good lawyers?", Roman asked with a chuckle.
"Sorry, I don't. Hey, maybe you can ask that new company you work for. Let them know what is going on and maybe they can recommend someone", Randy said.
"No, I don't want to involve them. This is my business to handle.", Roman replied.
"Then at least call that Zelina lady and see if she can recommend someone. Seth is going to have sharks out for blood, you and D need them too", Randy said.
Roman nodded. He knew Randy was right.
Diana took the test, as much as she wanted to know, she wanted Roman there too. They had found out about Noah together, so she wanted to do the same with this baby.
Pushing the test back into the box, she walked out.
"So?", her mom asked.
Diana smiled.
"I took it, but I want to wait till I'm with Roman. Its only right that he be the first one to know", Diana said.
Both moms groaned, but understood.
She and Brie decided to shop some more, asking Dean to pick up the kids for them. He agreed right away.
"I wish my brother was here", Diana said softly.
Brie took her hand and squeezed it.
"Me too. He would have been so happy for you and Roman. He would have probably dragged you two to city hall and made you get married the same day you got engaged", Brie laughed softly.
Diana did as well and nodded. Knowing that's what her brother would have done.
"Is it weird that I feel like I shouldn't be this happy right now? He's only been gone a few weeks and I feel", Brie stopped her sister in law.
"I want you to listen to me. He would want us to be happy, especially right now. He wanted this for you", Brie said.
Diana nodded and Brie wiped the lone tear that slipped from her eyes.
"Now, he wouldn't want us still crying, if he was here he would be shaking his head at us", Brie giggled.
Diana nodded.
"So, do you know what you want to wear as my maid of honor?", Diana asked, better to change the subject.
"I was thinking maybe a blush color.", Brie replied as they walked into the first store.
"I like blush. We can match the kids", Diana said.
Brie nodded. It took a few stores before they found a dress both Brie and Diana agreed on. They also found a matching mini dress for Leah. Finding some nice black pants for Luis and Noah with matching shirts.
Diana found a tie for Roman.
"We should get one for Dean too. We know he's going to be Roman's best man", Brie said, grabbing an extra one.
Diana smiled.
"Speaking of Dean, has he been by to check up on you?", Diana asked.
"Every morning like clock work. Brings groceries and anything else, if he notices I need it. I don't know what I would have done without him, especially on those days I didn't want to get out of bed", Brie said.
Diana smiled. Her suspicions were confirmed. Her brother had even had them before he died.
"I think Dean might have a crush on Brie.", he had said.
"Stop, and even if it is true, he's your best friend and wouldn't even try it.", she replied.
"I know. He's nothing like Seth, I'm just afraid I was Seth in this situation.", he said.
"Okay, lets slow down, we don't even know if its true", Diana said.
"I see the way he looks at her. He's always been quiet, but I don't know maybe you're right. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it", Victor said.
"Well, at least we know he's a good friend. If he does like her and didn't tell you, he's putting your happiness before his own.", Diana said.
Victor nodded.
"But if I would have known", Victor shook his head.
"But you didn't. He didn't tell you either, you didn't do anything wrong.", Diana said.
Victor sighed.
"If she and I ever break things off, I want you to push Dean on her.", Victor said.
Diana laughed.
"What? Why would I do that? You're my brother, I have your back, even if Dean is Noah's godfather", Diana said.
"Because I want her to end up with someone I know will love her as much as I do. Someone who will also love my kids", he said.
Diana smiled and nodded.
"Deal. Dean it is", she said.
Victor wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
"Now, as for you and Roman", he said.
Diana groaned and he laughed.
"Brie", Diana said.
Brie looked over at her.
"I need to tell you something Vic told me before he died. It was a few years ago, Noah was two almost three", Diana said.
They paid for the ties before walking out. She told Brie about her conversation with Victor. Brie bit her lip.
"I just thought you should know.", Diana said.
Brie nodded.
"And if you were wondering, I would so be okay with it. Dean is a good guy, the best godfather. Noah and Luis can confirm.", she said.
Brie laughed softly.
"I'm just not ready", Brie said softly.
Diana nodded and hugged her.
"That's okay too, I mean, my brother did just pass. I'm just letting you know, Vic trusted him with his family. When you are, Roman and I will be right there to back you. We're family", Diana said.
Brie nodded against her shoulder.
Roman knew Diana was busy, he started on dinner. Wanting to take his mind off of Seth. His phone rang and he noticed Zelina's name.
"Hello, hi Miss Vega", he answered.
"Roman, its good to hear from you. The bosses love your ideas for the next few projects, I am lining more up for you as we speak", she replied.
Roman liked hearing that. The more work coming in, the better for his men.
"That sounds great, but not why I called", he replied.
"Okay, shoot", she said.
He explained it to her the best he could.
"I see", she said.
"I am not asking for the company to help, I just wanted to ask if you knew any good lawyers in New York or L.A.", he said.
"Of course I do. I will be sending you a few names and numbers. I am more than happy to help. Whatever you need, Roman, we are here for you.", Zelina replied.
He sighed, feeling a weight lift from his shoulders.
"I just don't want to lose my son", he mumbled.
"Well, I am wishing you the best of luck.", she said, before hanging up with him.
His front door opened to Dean and the kids running past him and upstairs.
"Be careful", he called.
Roman sent him a nod.
"Thanks for picking them up. Diana wanted to find her dress, and also get Brie out of the house for a bit.", Roman said.
"I don't mind", Dean replied, sitting at the small bar in the kitchen.
Roman could tell something was up with him.
"Everything okay?", Roman asked.
Dean shrugged. Roman raised a brow.
"Come on brother", Roman said.
"Brie sort of asked me to be her date to your wedding", he said.
Roman nodded.
"And you said?", he asked.
"Yes. I mean, its not like a date or anything. I mean this is my best friend's girl and even I have my boundaries", Dean said.
"But you are also in love with her, you have been since high school. You might be able to hide it from everyone else, but not me", Roman said.
"I'm not going to be that asshole. I won't do it", Dean said.
Roman nodded.
"So what, are you going to cancel on her?", Roman asked.
"No of course not.", Dean replied.
"Good, I would have slapped the back of your head", Roman replied.
The front door opened again to Brie and Diana. They were laughing and holding cups of frozen yogurt.
"Brought you some", Diana said to Roman.
"Yum", he replied, taking the cup.
"Thanks for starting dinner", she said, kissing him.
Brie set a cup down for Dean. He smiled.
"It's a thank you for picking up the kids for us", she said.
"You didn't have to do that, oh, oreo toppings", he said, grabbing the spoon Brie offered.
They laughed as he enjoyed it. Diana nudged Roman and he smiled. She took his arm and they went to the bathroom.
"Quickie?", he asked, setting down the yogurt cup.
She giggled and shook her head no.
"I took a pregnancy test", she said.
He raised a brow. She reached into her purse for the box. She saw the excitement in his eyes.
"And?", he asked.
"I took it, but before I could see the results, I decided not to look. I wanted to do this with you", she smiled.
He kissed her softly. She handed him the box.
"So?", she asked.
He pulled the test out, looking up and into her eyes.
"You're fucking pregnant babe. We are having a baby", he smiled, his eyes twinkled with happiness.
She set her hands on her stomach.
"Noah", he called for their son as he walked out of the bathroom.
Diana giggled before following. Noah came down. Brie and Dean watching from the kitchen.
"Yeah?", Noah asked.
Roman showed him the test. His son tilted his head, confused.
"Um", Noah said.
"Little dude, you're going to be a big brother", Dean filled him in.
Noah looked from his uncle to his parents. Diana nodded and placed her hand. Noah jumped up and down.
"I'm going to be a big brother", he screamed, running to hug his mom.
Roman smiled as Noah went to him and hugged him.
"Thank you, thank you", he said.
He ran to Dean.
"Uncle Dean, I'm going to be a big brother", he said.
"I know bud, congrats", Dean replied.
Brie smiled. Noah hugged his aunt next, before running back to his dad.
"Is it a boy or a girl? When is the baby coming? Can I pick the baby room?", Noah asked.
"Okay, slow down kiddo. We won't know for a few months what mommy is having. When we go to the doctors, he will tell us when the baby is coming and heck yeah you can pick the room", Roman said.
Noah had the biggest smile on his face. She never wanted that look to leave her son's face. Taking a mental picture.
"I hope it's a boy, but its okay if it's a girl, but I really want a baby brother", Noah said.
Roman chuckled.
"Whatever we have, you will be a great big brother", Roman said, kissing the top of his son's head.
Noah hugged his mom again.
Roman wasn't going to lose his family. He was going to fight Seth on this, even if he loses at least he knows he fought for his son and he will continue to do so.
