Backstage at Raw the next week the boys watched as Ash and Punk talked happily over in the corner. Ash's spirits have been up since he showed up and Dean was just happy that she was. Sure he never expected his mentor to become hers but she was in the right hands.
Dean looked over at Roman. He saw the looks his brother gave Ash and he didn't Like it. "Dude. Stop looking at her like that."
"What are you talking about?"
"Quit looking at my sister like you love her. It's not gonna happen."
Dean refused to let that happen. Ash was his baby sister and even with all the things him and Roman have been through he would take Ash's side in a second. That and Ash needed to work on herself. She didn't Need the stress of Roman's divorce over her head. But thankfully she hates Roman. He hated it yet loved it.
"I just want to get to know her Dean."
"Just don't Think about it."
"Why would you be against it?"
"Listen Roman i love you man but you're recently divorced with a kid. She can't handle that. And she's not the biggest fan of kids. She needs to focus on herself. Not anyone else."
"I want to be friends Dean not get married." Roman tried to explain but Dean just walked away.
Ash was laughing at something Phil said but when her eyes locked with Roman's her smile dropped. Phil caught the look on Ash's face and looked between the two.
"So what's the story between you two?"
"There is no story. He's my brothers friend."
"Why aren't you two friends?"
"I don't Trust him."
"Ash. I'm proud of your progress but we've talked about this. Not everyone has ulterior motives."
Ash looked back to where Roman was sitting and saw that he was gone. "no? You saw how Dean's relationship with Seth went. Who's to say that Roman won't Do the same."
"Alright let's go." Phil grabbed Ash's hand and started walking.
"Where are we going?"
Phil led her through a couple halls before slowing down and telling her to stay quiet. Phil told her to just wait, watch and listen.
"Daddy!"
"JoJo!"
Ash watched as a little girl ran up to Roman tackling him in a hug. She didn't Understand why Phil wanted her to see this. He knows she hates kids and didn't Really care for Roman.
But the longer that they watched the more Phil saw a change in her demeanor. She wasn't tense or uncomfortable she just looked relaxed.
"You see Ash. Sure Roman is a big intimidating guy but he doesn't hurt those he cares about. Dean is his brother. From the second the shield was formed everyone could see the bond that they had and that's what angered Seth the most. I say give him a chance."
"Thanks Phil."
"Anytime kid."
"Daddy can we go see uncle Dean and maybe Ashton?"
"Let's go see if we can find Dean." ash and Phil went their separate ways. Ash needed to get ready for her match.
Halfway through her doing her makeup there was a knock on the door. Sighing she swung open the door and was tackled in a hug. Freezing, she looked down seeing Roman's daughter hugging her. Looking up both Roman and her brother were watching. She looked at her brother with wide eyes. Help.
Here is a chapter for you guys. Not the happiest with it but I suffered through my writers block. Hope you enjoy! Love ya!
