"She just wanted to help", Ronnie started.
"I know, but one wrong move or one wrong word said and Becky will leave with Milo and I lose my son", Seth said.
"She won't leave", Ronnie replied.
"Ron…", she cut him off.
"Raya knows about her and your son. Bayley got a little surprise from her. Photos of you and Becky with Milo.", she said.
Seth sat.
"If my assumptions are correct, she won't leave because she knows Raya will try to get her. She will stay here to protect Milo. The only problem is…", Ronnie stopped.
"Raya isn't afraid to step foot in our territory", Seth finished.
Ronnie nodded.
"Becky doesn't know that. If you tell her, she will leave. This stays between our family for now", Ronnie said.
Seth nodded.
"As for Sheamus…", Ronnie started.
Seth met her eyes.
"We use to be friends with her, you know. I don't know if we mentioned it. Anyway, he would come and pick up Becky after staying a few days with us. He even had a thing for Bayley. She didn't return those same feelings", Ronnie said.
Seth wasn't sure he wanted to hear the rest.
"Anyway, one day, he showed up at our house. My dad, Melina, and the twins were out. They left Andrade with us. He kept trying to flirt with Bayley and she kept declining. I think he got sick of it and wanted to take it.", she said.
"Did he…", he stopped.
"No, because she killed him", she said.
He relaxed.
"She had a knife hidden under her bed. She reached for it and stabbed him until he bled out. He was the first man she killed", Ronnie said.
"You got rid of the body", Seth said.
"Andrade did. He tried to make it look like an accident, but apparently Sheamus told Becky he was coming to see Bayley. She kept asking and begging for the truth. Bayley was still in shock. Melina sent Becky away.", Ronnie said.
"So Becky doesn't know why he was killed?", Seth asked.
Ronnie shook her head no.
"Would you believe Bayley if she said that about Roman or Dean?", she asked.
"Apart of me wouldn't want too. I would fight it, try to explain how I know them and that they would never. You know", Seth said.
"Because they are your brothers. I would react the same way if it was my sisters", Ronnie said.
Seth nodded.
"Does anyone else know?", Seth asked.
"Just our family. I haven't told Roman or Dean. I told my husband I needed to tell you first. So you could understand Bayley better. She does feel bad about it. Becky was her best friend", Ronnie said.
"I need to see her, Ronnie", he said, eyes pleading.
"Tomorrow.", Ronnie replied.
Seth nodded. She started walking towards the door and he followed. Walking her to her car.
"Your dad is going to kill me", he chuckled.
Ronnie smiled.
"Afraid so", she replied.
"You do believe me when I say that I love her. I've never felt this way about anyone.", he said.
"I do, but its not me you have to convince.", she replied.
He nodded. He watched as she drove away. He knew he was going to have to work hard to convince Bayley.
The next morning, Bayley woke up and made her way down the stairs. Her brother in law was in the kitchen making breakfast.
"Smells good", she smiled as she sat at the table.
He smiled.
"Thanks. Your sister is still asleep. We get to find out when she is due today.", he said.
"You look and sound so excited. I'm happy for you both, especially after your loss.", she replied.
"We are", he nodded.
He served her a plate and set it down in front of her.
"Thanks", she said.
He served himself and sat across from her.
"Your sister told Seth about what happened to Sheamus.", he said.
She stopped eating and looked up at him.
"Did she tell you?", she asked.
He shook his head no.
"She was going to but, she got sick and didn't get the chance too.", he replied.
Bayley pushed her food around a bit. She told him what happened and he listened without interrupting her.
"I'm sorry that happened to you. To all of you. You ladies might have been raised by the most powerful man in the world, but that doesn't stop predators from trying to hurt you", he said.
"I think that's what attracts them more. Who can get to Garcias girls first. With or without permission", she added.
He nodded.
"The situation with you and my brother…", she stopped him.
"I think he should try with her. Give Milo the family he deserves. Who knows, maybe it will work out, and she can give him the big family he wants", she said.
He shook his head no.
"He wants that, but with you.", he replied.
"And as much as I want to be the one to give it to him, I can't.", she replied, tears welling up in her eyes.
He reached over and hugged her.
"Please, you have to help me convince him its best to give Becky a chance. To give his family a chance.", she cried into his shoulder.
Veronica had heard the conversation her sister and husband had. She felt bad for Bayley, she wished there was something she could do.
She went back to her bedroom and laid down, feeling sick with the smell of the eggs.
Her sister knocked on her door and Ronnie smiled.
"Morning", she said.
Bayley joined her in bed and under the covers.
"Feeling sick?", Bayley asked.
Ronnie nodded. She wrapped Ronnie in a hug.
"Poor baby", Bayley said softly.
"So what do you plan to do now?", Ronnie asked.
Bayley sighed.
"Go back to dad. With Melina out for now, Nikki and dad will need me", Bayley replied.
"You don't have to go back you know.", Ronnie said.
Bayley smiled.
"I know, but, I need too. Work distracting me is good. Being in the same town as him right now is too much", she said.
"I understand", Ronnie replied.
"But I will be here as much as I can be. Anything you or my niece or nephew needs, I will get", she said.
Ronnie nodded.
"Roman thinks it's a boy.", Ronnie smiled.
Bayley chuckled.
"No way. I have a feeling this little baby is a girl.", Bayley said.
"Me too", Ronnie giggled.
"Melina is going to be the one to get all the boys, just you watch", Bayley said.
"I believe that. Man, if we could only see Raya's face. Brie and Mel got what she always wanted. Baby boys", Ronnie said.
Bayley laughed.
"If you do have a girl, dad will have two grandsons and two granddaughters. Have you told dad?", she said.
"Not yet. Just you and Seth know", Ronnie replied.
"Thank you for telling me", Bayley said.
"Of course, you're my sister.", Ronnie said.
Roman walked into his bedroom.
"Seth is here", he said.
Ronnie sat up and looked at Bayley. Her sister sighed before getting up.
"Might as well get this over with", Bayley said.
"Want us to be there?", Ronnie asked.
Bayley shook her head no.
"I've got this", she said.
She past her brother in law before going downstairs. Seth sat on the couch with her favorite flowers, he looked so nervous.
"Seth", she said.
He turned and stood.
"Baby", he said.
Her heart melted with the way he was looking at her.
"These are for you. I know its not much and they don't make up for what I said and did. Its a start, the first of many", he started.
She took them.
"Thanks", she said.
"When I said my family, I was talking about you and Milo. Keeping you both in my life. I don't want to lose either of you", he said.
She could feel tears welling up again.
"I know about Sheamus and if you want, I can be the one to tell Becky, or we can go together.", he suggested.
"Its my situation, she should hear it from me", she said.
He nodded.
"As for us, I'm sorry Seth, but I can't keep doing this. Your mind should be on Milo and Milo only. This, us, isn't going to work. At least not till Becky understands", Bayley said.
"I don't want to lose you", Seth said, his own eyes filling with tears.
"You need to try with her. Give Milo the family that neither of us got. A father who loves him and who loves his mother as well. Give him more siblings and give them a better life. You might not love her now, but eventually love will come. It was there once before", Bayley said.
He shook his head no.
"There will never be anyone else", he mumbled.
She placed her hands against his cheeks.
"Try", she said, before quickly running upstairs.
"Bay, please don't ask me to do that. I'm begging you baby. Please", he shouted up the stairs.
Roman wanted to help his brother. He leaned against the wall in his room by the door, arms crossed over his chest.
He looked at his wife, she met his eyes.
"All I wanted for him was to be happy.", he said.
"I know babe", she replied.
A few weeks later, Bayley left back to Mexico with her dad and sisters. Opening the windows in her room.
She sighed. Baron knocked on her door.
"Hey B", she said, walking over to her bed and sitting down.
"I heard what happened and I'm sorry. He was a good man for you.", he said.
She nodded and hugged her pillow.
"I spoke to your sister and we think there is something you should know about me", he said.
She was confused. He cleared his throat.
"I heard about your situation, pregnancy wise.", he said.
She nodded.
"I understand more than you think", he added.
"You mean, you…", she stopped.
He nodded.
"Your sister and I had been trying, a very long time I might add. When it wasn't happening, we spoke to a doctor. He ran some tests. Turns out, there was nothing wrong with Nikki, but with me", he said.
"B", she said sadly.
Now she knew why Nikki and Baron hadn't had kids.
"I mean, we could, but it would have to be artificial insemination. Even then the chances are slim", he said.
Bayley nodded.
"After we found out, I tried to push her away. She could do so much better. Find a man who could give her what I couldn't. I was willing to let her go if its what she wanted. All I wanted was for her to be happy.", he said.
"She loves you", Bayley smiled.
He returned it and nodded.
"Don't know why sometimes.", he chuckled.
"Thank you for telling me, B", she said.
"Just wanted you to know you aren't alone", he said, standing and kissing the top of her head.
Nikki came into Bayley's room and wrapped her arms around her husband. They kissed.
"There is always a way, Bay. Ever want information, we have it. You can talk to us", Nikki said.
Bayley nodded.
"Thank you", she replied, hugging her sister.
