Roman couldn't take his eyes off of the casket. Diana was tucked under his arm as she cried into his chest. His best friend, her brother, was really gone.

Noah was holding his free hand. Tears falling every now and then. Brie was crying into her mom's arms. Her twin sister Nikki was on her other side, taking care of Luis and Leah. Victor's dad was holding his wife as she cried.

Victor never hurt anyone, he would give up his life before he did that. This wasn't fair, Roman thought.

His eyes drifted to the stranger standing away from the crowd. In an all black suit. Roman could hear Dean mumble insults at their once upon a time friend.

Once the priest was done, everyone gave their condolences to the family. Promising to help Brie and Victor's parents with whatever they needed. That's what he loved about this small town. They came together when you really needed them. It's one of the reasons Roman wants to stay here and raise Noah.

"Hey, we still all meeting at the bar?", Mike asked.

Roman shifted his gaze from Seth to Mike Mizanin. He nodded. They had agreed that Victor would have had a temper tantrum about them being all sad when his life was not like that at all. They wanted to celebrate him and go down memory lane.

"Yeah man", Roman said.

Mike nodded and looked at Diana.

"I'm so sorry D. If you or your folks ever need anything, let me know", Mike said.

"Thanks Miz", Diana said, hugging him.

"Maryse wanted to be here, but with just having a baby", Diana stopped him.

"I totally understand. I wouldn't want her to stress about it, especially after she just gave birth.", Diana said.

Mike nodded.

"See you guys at the bar", he said.

Diana nodded. She ignored Seth, like he did her all that time ago. She looked at Roman.

"Ro, I'm going to make sure my parents are settled at home. Brie will be staying with us there, so I want to make sure she's comfortable.", Diana said to him.

He nodded and cupped her face. Kissing her forehead.

"If you don't feel like going to the bar, it's okay.", he said.

"No, I want to go. He wouldn't want us to be sad like this", she said.

Roman nodded.

"Agreed pretty girl", he said.

He let her go so she could go over to her family. Noah staying with him. He took a deep breath before looking at Dean.

"Let's go. We should get the bar ready for later", Roman said.

"Can I kill him first?", Dean asked, his eyes still on Seth.

Roman looked at Seth. He was watching them too. Roman looked away.

"Maybe later. Now is not the time or place", Roman said.

Dean nodded and they left. Noah noticed who his uncle and dad were looking at.

"Who is that dad?", Noah asked him.

Dean glanced at Roman. Feeling bad for his best friend. Roman swallowed.

"He was a friend", he answered.

Noah nodded.

Once he saw that Roman and Dean left, he approached Diana and her family.

"Mr. And Mrs. Mendoza, I am so sorry about Victor. He was my best friend and", her dad stopped him.

"Get away from my family. You aren't welcome here", her dad spat before walking away with his wife.

Seth sighed. He looked at Diana.

"D", she stopped him.

"You paid your respects, now leave", she said, walking passed him.

"Not without the kid", that stopped her.

She turned to look at him.

"That kid, is not yours. You gave up that right when you left. He's my son. Now go, I'm sure your fans miss you more than we do", she said, before leaving.

Seth sighed. He looked at the casket.

"I'm sorry Victor. I should have fixed this between us, between me and your sister. My kid. I'm sorry.", Seth said.

He bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt. Dropping it on the casket.

"I missed you, all the damn time buddy", Seth whispered.

He wiped his tears and fixed his glasses before walking to his rental. He had overheard some of the guys talking about going to the bar to hang out and talk about Victor.

He was going whether they wanted him there or not.

Noah was sitting on a stool and watching his uncle write down orders. His dad was serving drinks.

"Noah, mind taking these chips over to that table for me", Dean said.

Noah nodded and did as he was told. He went back to his seat when he was done. The door to the bar opened again and that man from the cemetery walked in.

He looked around before spotting Noah. He looked away from this man.

"Hey, is this seat taken?", he asked him.

Noah shook his head no. Seth sat.

"You're Seth Rollins", Noah said, now that he saw his face better.

Seth smiled and nodded.

"My mom had one of your cds before she threw it away", he said.

Seth chuckled.

"Did you like the music?", he asked.

Noah shook his head no.

"Too much pop, not enough rock", Noah said.

Seth laughed. His son liked music too.

"That's what my dad says and my uncles", Noah said.

Seth's smile fell. Was this not his son? He was so confused.

"Who's your dad?", Seth asked.

"I am", Seth turned to see Roman.

He was wiping his hands on a dish towel. Roman looked at Noah. He was starting to think that maybe Diana gave up the baby or had an abortion. Maybe that's why she said he was her kid.

"My bad, I thought this was Diana's kid", Seth said.

"I am. She's my mom", Noah answered.

Seth looked from Noah to Roman. Glaring at his one time friend.

"You son of a bitch", Seth said.

"Not in front of Noah", Roman said calmly.

"Not in front of the kid? Are you serious right now? I knew you were desperate for her to see you, but this", Seth shouted.

Noah was confused. Roman wanted to stay calm for Noah. He smiled at his son. Dean walked over. Everyone was quiet and watching.

"Everything okay?", Dean asked, setting his hand on Noah's head.

"I don't think so uncle Dean", Noah said softly.

Seth looked at Noah. The door to the bar opened again and Diana stopped. She looked between the men and then her son.

"What the fuck Diana?", Seth asked.

"Hey, watch your mouth in front of my kid", Roman said.

"Your kid?", Seth said laughing.

Carmella stood.

"Hey Noah, let's get you home. I have to stop and pick up Corey", Carmella said.

Diana thanked her when she got close. Noah walked over to her and his mom.

"I love you, see you at home", Diana said to her son.

He nodded and left with Carmella.

"Does he even know about me?", Seth asked.

"No", Diana said.

"I'm his father", Seth shouted.

Everyone in the bar laughed. He looked around.

"So that's why you left him and Diana", AJ said sarcastically.

They laughed more.

"That kid belongs to Roman", Mike said.

Everyone agreed. Seth looked at Diana. He stood and stepped towards her.

"I'm back now and I'm taking my place in my kid's life. Whether you like it or not.", Seth said.

"Why can't you just leave it alone. He doesn't know you and you don't want him. Let it go and go back to Hollywood", Diana said, stepping closer to him.

"I'll be damned if you keep me away. Give me my place or I bring lawyers in and I know for a damn fact, that you can't afford ones like mine", Seth said.

Diana shook her head at him. Roman walked around the bar. Dean and Xavier holding him back.

"I'll give you guys some time to think about it.", Seth said, smiling smugly.

He walked out and Diana went over to Roman.

"He wants to take my kid", Roman said.

Diana forced him to look at her.

"He's not going too. Noah is yours", she said.

Roman swallowed.

"Not in the eyes of the law", he said sadly.

"I promise you will always be his dad. No one can take that from you", she said, touching his cheek.

Roman nodded. She took his hand and they sat with their friends.

"Hey, do you remember that time that Victor dared you to run around campus naked?", Mike asked Roman.

Roman laughed.

"I do", Diana said.

The girls laughed. Bayley high fived with her. Roman squeezed her thigh.

"My freshman eyes will never forget it", she said.

They laughed.

"Its okay Diana, you can admit it, it's not that big", Big E said.

Everyone laughed and Roman threw his napkin at him.

"Sorry to disappoint you E, but Roman's packing", Diana said.

"Oh yeah", Kofi said.

Roman shook his head and she kissed his cheek.

"Alright, enough about me and my manhood", he said.

"Aw", everyone said.

Making Roman laughed.

"What's going to happen to his shop D?", Braun asked.

Diana sighed.

"Its going to stay open. Brie and the kids need it too and also everyone who works there", Diana said.

Everyone nodded.

"If you need help running it, let me know", Aiden said.

Diana nodded.

"Thank you", Diana said.

They laughed and shared more stories about Victor. Diana loved hearing each one, it distracted her from Seth's threat and missing her brother. He would know what to do about Seth.

She knew that the first thing she and Roman had to do was talk to Noah. He was going to be angry, but it needed to happen. She locked her hand with Roman's and he squeezed her hand.

She hoped Noah didn't push Roman away, it would break his heart. He loved Noah so much.
