This one short story took place four months ago on Smackdown happy reading.
we are family
Roman rests on the bed of the tour bus. Thinking about this past few weeks. First, his cousin Jimmy is back in the WWE. After being out for a year with a knee injury. Joining him and his twin brother and right-hand man Jey. At first, he believed that it was a great idea. Now he is regrading that decision.
He and Jimmy have been fighting for the past two months. Jimmy is upset that he and Jey got close. While he had been in Atlanta recovering with his wife and mate. Accuse him of taking his place as Jey's brother keeper. They nearly fistfight on Smackdown two weeks in the locker room because of it. Jimmy told Roman he was sorry. But the damage has already been done. AfterJey did not show up tonight for Friday Night Smackdown.
Jimmy had to step in and be his right-hand man. But tonight wasn't doing a good job.
Both men resting on the bus Roman is trying to text Jey. Jimmy is nursing his sore body. After being attacked by Edge. Feeling bad that he fails his cousin and his alpha.
''Roman ... I'm sorry I fail you won't happen again,''. Jimmy said looking at Roman waiting for an answer.
Do you talk to your brother again? Roman asked looking at his cousin.
No, he won't answer my call or text again. ''Don't worry about the pack business I got It you, man. I got you.''
Roman looks at Jimmy. Telling himself that Jey is coming to Smackdown. His way of wanting some space from us. He is showing his face soon. He had to in a few days.
Jimmy is fulling in for Jey. How bad could it be? Roman thought as he listen to his cousin.
A FEW DAYS LATER
Jey hasn't shown his face yet. It has gotten worse to the point that it efforting the pack. As they can see the tension between them you can cut it with a knife. Making Roman have the dream again led him to go running in the middle of the night.
Roman small a wolf scent coming to the fort door of his house. He got up seeing who it is. When he saw that it is one of the members of the pack. A male wolf with dark brown hair, brown eyes, six foot five well built, and wearing blue hospital scrubs.
Zack his friend that been a member of the pack for almost three years. Roman met him while he was battling his second round of cancer. Zack is a nurse that works on the floor of the hospital that draws blood. And sometimes the ER if they are short-handed. He and Roman got to know each other. And when he discovered that his alpha kicks him out. Roman talk him into trying his pack out.
Zack has been very loyal and trusting since he became pack alpha. Knowing he is one of the wolves he can trust him with his and the pack's lives.
''Is there something wrong?'' Roman said leading him to the living room to talk.
''Caleb is spending rumors telling the other packs around here. That Jey has been kicked out of the pack. It not true at all.''
''How you heard about it?''
''I overheard one of the wolves from another pack was talking about it at the hospital today.''
''Jimmy, Jey, and I got into a heated argument. Jey walked off feeling that we put him in the middle of our fight. Jimmy and I both had to talk it out and mead up. But Jay hasn't been seen since the fight. Jimmy had tried to call him no answer. He came over to his house no answer. A few nights ago was a full moon he didn't show up. I call him and text the next day no answer.''
Sounds to me that he is avoiding both of you guys. But Jey does not answer or check in. With you, his alpha isn't good at all.
No is not good. Did you got your phone on you?
Yes, Zack said hearing what Roman want with it.
I need you to make a few phone calls. Roman said as he tell Zack who to call.
Twenty minutes later he was standing in the fort of a medium-sized white house. With a two-door garage, two huge windows on each side. He rings the doorbell then waits for someone to answer it. No one came to the door Roman had to end up ringing the doorbell again and wait. But still no answer. He with on and knocking on the door.
Jey opens up I know you are in there can smell your scent. Roman said out loud knocking on the door hearing Jey talking in a low voice.
''Don't answer the door pretend we aren't here Roman leaves as Jimmy did.''
''Why are we hiding and talking with a low voice again dad.''
'' This whole fine and seek thing had gone on long enough.''
''Yes, it goes on long enough.''
Jey turns around seeing. Roman thur the slide-in door standing in the back yard. Staring right at him with his alpha look.
After seeing that Jey will not answer the door. He had decided to go to plan walking around the back of the house to the backyard. When he reached the backyard. Roman can small and see jay along with his wife and kids right thur the slide-in glass door. He gave him a few minutes. Before he let his cousin know that he is there looking right at him.
What are you doing? Don't let him in. Jey said watching his wife walking over to the slide-in door open it greeting Roman.
Roman, it's great to see you come on in were about to sit down to have dinner. Jey goes on to get a plate, a glass, and silverware for him.
Roman watches Jey go into the kitchen. While his wife leads him to the dining room table. Seeing that the food is already on the table. He took a seat next to his older son. Who is looking like he is ready to eat?
Jey came back seeing that Roman had already taken his seat at the dinner table. Talking to his older son about his summer and sports. He walks over to where he is sitting. The plate glass and silverware on the table then took his seat next to his wife. Who turn to roman.
Roman, would you like to say, Grace?
Yes, I would Roman said. Who bows his head.
''Why are you not answering my calls? Why didn't you show up last night it was a full moon Roman ask? Roman asked sitting in Jey's Gameroom after having dinner.
Because I don't want to be put in the middle of you and Jimmy fighting anymore. Jey said thinking about how he had been feeling the past month. With Jimmy coming back for an injury. He was feeling will happy to have his brother back but. Soon Jimmy was back he was butting heads with Roman. Over the way, he had been treating him taking his place as his big brother. It had gotten worst when the Roman cost them the tag team championships. That was when he decided to walk away and let them work it out. It means not being around the pack.
''I can understand not returning Jimmy's calls. But not returning my call I your alpha I worry that something happens.''
''I'm sorry you got to understand. I don't want to be put in the middle anymore.''
You don't have to anymore both of us worked it out last week. Been filling in for you as the right-hand man. While you have been avoiding us. I need you to come back as my right-hand man and to the pack. I need you both.
What do you mean I need you both? Jey asked as he listen in on what Roman telling him.
a few days later
Why are we here again? Caleb asked looking at Zack sitting a few feet down looking at Caleb?
Roman will tell everybody when he gets here. Zack said isn't giving Caleb any more answers.
A few minutes later Roman came into the room with Jey and Jimmy. Having everybody stop talking turning their heads looking at them. walking over the right to them. Who is all in his living room? Roman took a seat on his love seat. Jey took a seat on one side of him. Jimmy took a seat on the other side of him. He can see that his packmates wondering what is going on.
Roman was about to tell them what had been going on. When he can feel Caleb wolf looking at Jimmy.
''Why is Jimmy sitting with you and Jey? only the right-hand man is allowed to sit with the alpha?''
Because Jimmy is now my second right-hand man. Roman said looking at the pack seeing that they would have something to say about it. But instead, it is another way around.
''Congratulation'' Tamina said hugging Jimmy.
I know you and Jey will do a great job as the alpha right-handed men. Leo said with a smile on his face.
The other wolves are happy as well. With the news as well. All but a few.
''Wait just a minute it can't be two right-hand mans to the alpha is not the way of the pack,'' Caleb said looking at Roman.
''I know an alpha that has three right-hand men right now. Also, Yoko had two right-hand men when he was alpha. They both are in this room right now.''
How is this going to work? Do we report to Jey and Jimmy with any problems or just one of them? Zack asked picking the right time to ask his question right now. Knowing that his alpha and friend had mead up his mind on the matter.
He, not the only one in the room right now. Who sees that as well.
You can report to Jey or Jimmy they will report to me. As for pack meetings, they will both let you know. When will it be by one of them calling one half of the pack? While the other calls another half. Now any more questions? Roman asked as he with on to answer the rest of the pack questions.
I think the pack is all in on the two right-head men thing. Sika said sitting in the backyard of his son's house after the rest of the pack lief an hour ago.
Yeah, all but Caleb. But I don't care. I do what is best for the pack. For the past couple of months, I can tell that Jimmy felt a little lief out. Roman said drinking a sip of his beer. Watching Jey and Jimmy walking out with a beer in their hands.
Remember what Yoko once told us when we were little kids. That the job as the alpha right-hand right man is a large job. Jey said getting a seat next to Roman.
And sometimes the alpha needs more than one right-hand man. Jimmy said taking a seat on the other side Roman.
He also told us no matter how many times we fight. We are family and family is imported roman said as he gets to work. with his right-hand men.
