Roman had gotten the call from Paul, telling him that Seth has dropped his side of the custody.

"But we still have to meet with the judge. He wants to speak to Seth and you guys of course.", Paul said.

"No problem, but I don't know if Diana is up for it.", Roman said.

"That's no problem. I told the judge what happened and he understands if she isn't there.", Paul explained.

"Okay. Thanks Paul", Roman said.

"Anytime, see you and Noah tomorrow.", Paul said, before hanging up.

Roman relaxed and leaned back in the chair. The waiting room was empty and quiet. Giving him a moment to grieve his child. He didn't want to do it in front of Noah and Diana. He finally wiped his cheeks and took a deep breath.

Standing, he made his way out.

"Rome", he turned when he heard Dean calling him.

Seth was with him.

"Nice haircut", Roman said to Dean.

Dean rubbed his head and nodded.

"I can get use to it", he chuckled.

Roman looked at Seth.

"Thank you. You didn't have to do it, but you did. I didn't deserve your help", Seth said.

"You have a problem, Seth. I know being around those people is not healthy.", Roman said.

Seth nodded.

"I have a few conditions with the contract I have you under", Roman said.

"Oh, I thought that was fake", Seth said, looking between Roman and Dean.

"Nope", Dean smirked.

Seth nodded and looked back at Roman.

"Shoot buddy", Seth said.

"You will go to rehab, and stay the recommended months. You are moving back to town, being around your actual friends and family will be good for you after rehab. You can't be alone with Noah till Diana and I feel comfortable with it, you are on probation with us.", Roman said.

Seth nodded.

"I get it, and I will pay you back", Seth said.

"No, that's not why I did this", Roman said.

"But I am. You have a family to take care of, Ro.", Seth said.

Roman nodded.

"Then lets add to the conditions", Roman said.

"How?", Seth asked.

"While in rehab, you write new music. When you get out, I will help you find a new label or you can be an independent artist. You have established yourself with your fans, you release music and they will come running", Roman said.

"Yeah, I mean, almost all those new rappers are independent. They release their own music and albums. You can do it to. I'm sure you learned a lot in the years you spent signed with those assholes", Dean added.

"You probably won't be able to do a big concert like you're use to, but starting off small isn't bad. Work your way up", Roman said.

Seth smiled and nodded. For the first time since he signed with Dolph, he was excited about his future.

"I still have that truck you and Vic got me", he said.

Roman squeezed his shoulder with a smile.

"And we will be there to support you every step of the way", Roman said.

"Dad", they turned to see Noah.

He looked between the three men. Roman held his hand out and Noah went to him.

"I think you and Seth need to talk", Roman said.

Seth gestured to the sitting area.

"I can watch them, you go see Diana", Dean said.

"Thanks man", he replied, as he walked down the hall.

Dean leaned back against the wall. Seth sighed.

"I owe you an apology little man. I know I keep going back on my word, then I put you through this custody hearing. I am sorry Noah, for real this time", Seth said.

"I don't trust you", Noah said.

Seth nodded.

"I know that too", he replied.

"But, if my dad and uncle Dean are giving you another chance, then I guess I can too", he said.

Seth smiled.

"Friends?", Seth asked, holding his hands out.

Noah looked at it before looking at his uncle Dean. Dean winked. Noah nodded and took Seth's hand.

"Friends", Noah replied.


Roman watched as Diana got dressed. He went over to help her with her hoodie.

"You should have waited for me", he said.

"Noah went to get you, but you guys took too long.", Diana said.

He smiled.

"I can go back to the hotel now. Which, I am so happy about. Just waiting for the doctor", she said.

She laid back.

"So, I sort of did something", he said, sitting beside her.

"What?", she asked.

He explained to her how Seth told him about his contract. Then about why Dean was really here, the money, and making a deal with Seth.

"You gave him how much?", she loudly asked.

"I had to help him. I don't want to get another call telling me that another of my best friends has died. Especially if we could have helped him.", Roman said.

She sighed.

"Come here", she said, opening her arms to him.

He hugged her back and she kissed him.

"You're such a good man, baby", she whispered.

"He's also paying us back, so no worries there", he replied.

She nodded.


Roman helped her into the hotel bed.

"Doctor said we can fly home tomorrow. Changed our tickets for the afternoon flight.", Roman said.

She nodded.

"You'll be waiting with Dean here while Seth, Noah, and I talk to the judge tomorrow. You guys pick us up and we are off, home", Roman said.

She nodded. Seth lightly knocked on their door.

"Hey, come in", Roman said.

He did.

"I'll let you two talk", Roman said, kissing the top of Diana's head.

Seth moved closer.

"I'm so sorry D, about the baby, about everything", he said softly.

She smiled softly at him.

"My husband spent a lot of money on you. Money we need, Seth. Don't let him down", she said.

He took a step closer.

"Oh I won't, I promise D and I know right now my promises have been shit. This one I am keeping", Seth said.

She sighed.

"I forgive you", she said.

"Did you hear about my conditions?", he asked, sitting beside her.

"I did. I think they're pretty easy to accomplish if you really want too", she said.

"I can do it", Seth said.

She reached out and took his hand, squeezing it.


Roman, Noah, and Seth made their way to meet the judge, sitting outside of his office. Ms. Young called them in. The judge smiled.

"So, I hear Mr. Rollins wants to drop his side of the custody. May I ask why?", the judge said.

"I was doing it to hurt him. He tried giving me an ultimatum to see my son and I didn't agree. I know now he was only trying to protect Noah, I need help and I will get it", Seth said.

The judge nodded.

"So, can I stay with my dad?", Noah asked softly.

The judge smiled at him and nodded.

"Yes Noah, and I was never planning on taking you from him.", the judge said.

Noah smiled and hugged Roman.

"I love you buddy", Roman whispered.

"Mr. Rollins, it looks to me like you have a big family who loves and cares for you. They want nothing but the best. If I were you, I would make sure not to lose them again", the judge said.

"I promise you sir, I won't", Seth said.


A Few Months Later-

Diana and Roman were getting married today. The rehab center had let Seth out for a few hours to be there for his friends. He was doing such a good job. Even had a few songs written.

He saw Dean and waved.

"I see you kept the haircut", Seth said.

Dean nodded.

"Yeah, it grew on me you know", Dean said.

"How's big man, he ready?", Seth asked.

"Nervous as fuck, but ready", Dean replied.

"Should we go check on him?", Seth asked.

"I think we should. Noah is with him", Dean said, as they made their way inside.


Roman was fixing his tie, Noah was doing the same.

"Ready my best man?", Roman asked.

Noah nodded. The door opened to his friends.

"Just making sure you didn't run off", Dean said.

Roman laughed softly.

"Not running", Roman said.

Someone else knocked and Dean opened the door. Brie stood there and Dean froze. They still hadn't spoken and Dean tried his hardest to stay away from her.

While she was at work, he went to her house and fixed whatever needed fixing.

"Just wanted to see if Roman was ready", she said softly.

Dean nodded and opened the door wider. Roman smiled at her.

"Hey, don't you two look handsome.", she said.

Noah blushed.

"Well, she's ready if you are", Brie said.

Roman exhaled.

"More than ready", he replied.

"See you out there boys", Brie said, taking a small glance at Dean before leaving the room.

Dean sighed.

"Well, Dean and I will see you two out there as well.", Seth said, Dean nodded.

Roman looked at Noah.

"Any words for your old man?", Roman asked.

"Don't fart", Noah said.

Roman laughed and hugged his son.

"Good advice", he said.

They made their way out and to the front. Noah stood beside his dad as they watched Diana walk down the aisle.

"Wow", Roman said.

Noah smiled.

"Mom looks pretty", he said.

Roman smiled at his son and nodded.

"She does kiddo", he replied.

Diana kissed her dad's cheek before he set her hand in Roman's.

"I always knew you were the one for her", he said.

"Thank you, I promise to take care of her till my last breath", Roman said.

Her dad nodded before finding his seat. He met Diana's eyes.

"Ready?", Roman asked.

"So ready", she replied.

He smiled. Getting to stare at Diana while the priest spoke was the best part of this ceremony. He felt bad that he didn't hear a word the priest said.

"Do you, Roman Joseph Reigns, take Diana Elizabeth Mendoza to be your wife, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer?", he asked.

"Ro?", Diana said.

He shook his head and their friends and family laughed.

"Sorry, I do", he said.

Diana smiled.

"Do you Diana Elizabeth Mendoza, take Roman Joseph Reigns to be your husband, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer?", he asked.

"I do", she replied.

"It is my honor to present to everyone, Mr. and Mrs. Reigns. Roman, you may now kiss your bride", he said.

Roman gently cupped Diana's face and kissed her. She smiled against his lips. Everyone cheered and clapped for them. Nikki and Brie had decorated Dean's bar.

Diana went over to him and hugged him.

"Thank you for letting us have the party here", she said.

"Of course, why not.", Dean said.

She kissed his cheek. She noticed as his eyes found Brie.

"Dean", she said.

He looked at her.

"There's something I have to tell you, something I think you really need to know", she said.

"About?", he asked.

She took his hand and took him to the office. Diana told him about what her brother had said.

"Just know, that my brother was okay with it and his approval is the only one you need.", Diana said, squeezing his hand.

"D…", he said, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Don't. You love her, Dean. Don't let any more time pass without telling her. She deserves to be happy and you do too.", Diana said.

He swallowed.

"See you out there, I have to go dance with my husband now", she said with a smile, leaving Dean in his office.

When he walked out, they were playing a video of Victor explaining why he put together the video of Roman and Diana.

"I just knew you two were meant to be. I hope you enjoy this video sis, I love you and I wish you nothing but the best. Roman, take care of my sister, I only have one and I love her very much", Victor said.

The video was very beautiful. Dean found Brie and saw the look on her face. She missed her husband. As much as he wanted to tell her how he felt, she wasn't ready.
