Amaya had gone to the grocery store. She just needed time to think and plan. There was no fighting it, Valerie would move into their guest house.

She wasn't going to be the bad guy and kick her out. When Autumn started trusting her mom again, the one thing that was going to stand out would be Amaya kicking her mom out.

Amaya didn't want that. She loved Autumn and she knew Roman's heart was in the right place.

The part she hated was that he didn't talk to her about it first. It is their home, their family.

She knew she had to go home soon. She grabbed her phone and called Dean. If she called her sister, April would only rip Roman a new one.

"Hey Smalls, what's up?", he asked.

"Has Roman called you?", she asked.

"No, but I don't like the sound of your voice. What's up? Did you two have a fight?", he asked.

"Something like that", she replied.

She proceeded to tell him what happened. He stayed quiet and listened.

"So do you think I should have stayed and worked something out?", she asked.

"You had a right to walk out. If you would have stayed, you might have said something to hurt him or vise versa. He also should have spoken to you about moving her in before agreeing to it.", he said.

"I know she is her birth mom, but, moving her in. Autumn doesn't want to see her as is, maybe if she and Autumn had some sort of relationship first, then I would agree, but right now isn't the time", Amaya said.

"I agree. Does Autumn know?", he asked.

"No, and I'm afraid how she is going to react when she finds out. I'm happy she is clean and healthy, but I don't trust her yet", Amaya said.

"You shouldn't, you don't know her", Dean said.

Amaya sighed.

"Well, if you and the kids don't want to be home when she is, my door is always open. I know Nikki would love to have the girls over", he said.

"Thanks Dean", she replied.

"Now go home and work things out", he said, before hanging up.

She smiled before going to pay for her things.


As she pulled into their driveway, Roman made his way outside.

"Need help?", he asked.

She nodded and opened the back. He grabbed some bags, followed by her. He didn't say anything, just watched her.

She closed the back as he took the last of the groceries inside.

"Baby girl, I know I messed up. You are right, I should have spoken to you about it. This is our family, our home and I would never want you and the girls to feel uncomfortable in it", he started, as she put some items away.

She nodded.

"Babe", he said.

She looked at him.

"I want to talk to her. Alone.", she said.

He nodded.

"And you will be telling Autumn about this.", she added.

"Of course", he replied.

"And, the girls will be staying with my sister. I don't care if she can watch them while we are gone. I don't care if she is Autumn's birth mom. Right now, I am her mother and I want to do what is best for her.", Amaya said.

He nodded.

"She might be sober now, but I still don't know her or trust her", Amaya added.

"Of course.", he replied.

"And if Autumn says no, its no. Valerie will just have to deal. I will not push that little girl to do something she doesn't want", she said.

"I can agree with that", he nodded.

She nodded as well before going back to putting things away. Roman walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Can I have a kiss?", he asked.

She smiled.

"Please", he added.

She turned in his arms and kissed him. Resting his forehead against hers.

"God, I love you", he whispered.

"I love you too, and the girls. Please remember to include me next time.", she said.

"I will, you have my word", he said.


Roman had texted Val that Amaya wanted to sit down and talk. Agreeing to let her come over, the girls would be with Roman's mom and dad.

Sitting down across from Amaya made her feel small.

"So, my husband agreed to let you move into our guest house. Without talking to me, I might add", Amaya started.

"I didn't know that, he told me after he agreed. I understand why you would be mad about that", Valerie replied.

Roman stood away from them by the counters. Watching and listening.

"If you don't want me too, I won't. I wouldn't want to make you feel uncomfortable.", Valerie said.

Amaya looked at Roman.

"After speaking to him, I do understand why he agreed. You can stay", Amaya said.

Valerie smiled. Amaya looked back at her.

"But, with a few conditions", Amaya added.

"Of course.", Valerie nodded.

"Just because you live in our backyard, doesn't mean you can ambush Autumn whenever you want.", Amaya said.

Valerie nodded.

"If she doesn't want to see you, she doesn't have too. We will take this as slow as she wants.", Amaya continued.

"Of course", Valerie replied.

"You will work, pay rent, and continue to go to school. If for some reason you lose your job, talk to us, and we can help you find another one. If you need help studying, ask. We will do what we can.", Amaya said.

Valerie nodded.

"I know you'll always see me as the woman who broke up your family…", Roman stood up straighter.

"Hun…", Amaya stopped him.

"I never apologized for hurting you that way. So, I am sorry. I didn't mean to fall in love with him, but I did.", Amaya said.

Valerie wiped her tears.

"Thank you. I owe you and apology too. I should have seen that he wasn't happy anymore, hell, neither was I. I kept you two apart to hurt you and that wasn't right. I'm sorry, Amaya. Roman, I am sorry", Valerie said.

Roman nodded. Amaya reached over and took Valerie's hand.

"I want to be civil with you, for Autumn.", Amaya said.

"Me too. You've done such an amazing job with her. She's beautiful", Valerie said.

"She is a sweet little girl. I have a feeling you'll get to know her, just give her time.", Amaya said.

Valerie nodded.


Amaya and Roman had given Valerie a key to the guest house. They had a spare if ever they wanted to pop in and check on her.

They hadn't told Autumn yet. Leaving the girls in New Jersey with her sister and Phil.

Amaya finished putting on her converse. Tonight would be the night she attacked Ronda. The first of many.

"Fuck, I almost forgot how good you looked geared up. Tiny shorts, crop top", he bit his lip.

She giggled.

"Babe", she blushed.

He wrapped his arms around her.

"Its been awhile since I've made you blush.", he said, kissing her.

"Not true. I always blush around you", she replied.

He smiled.

"How long are you planning to hold that title?", he asked.

"Why?", she asked.

"Doc did say I needed time off. I really don't want to do that if you aren't there. I also want to do something as a family, maybe we can go to Hawaii.", he said.

"Sounds relaxing.", she smiled.

He nodded.

"It does. We can send the girls back with my mom and then stay another week in Hawaii, just the two of us. Celebrate our missed anniversary.", he suggested.

"I like that plan", she mumbled against his lips.

She slapped his butt before letting him go so he could finish getting ready.

"How's your back?", she asked.

"Hasn't given me problems today. I hope it stays that way", he replied.

"Me too", she nodded.


Roman watched from the back as Ronda and Nattie celebrated in the ring. Alexa went to attack Ronda as her back was turned, but before she could, Amaya's music hit.

She ran down the ramp and slid into the ring. Alexa was going to run, but Amaya caught her by her hair.

Ronda smirked, as did Nattie. Amaya set Alexa up for a GTS. The crowd cheered after she did.

Ronda lifted Amaya's hand. Amaya smiled before super kicking Nattie in her face. Then setting up Ronda in the Black Widow.

The crowd cheered.

"Its mine", Amaya yelled.

Roman smirked as he watched his wife.

Refs ran out to take Amaya off of Ronda. She kicked and screamed, trying to get out of their hold.

Ronda glared at her as others checked on her and Nattie.

"I'm coming for you Ronda", Amaya yelled.

Roman found his wife backstage.

"That was so good baby. It got me excited for what's to come.", he said.

"Thanks. I was afraid I couldn't do it", she replied.

A member of staff walked over and tapped Roman's shoulder.

"Your match is up", he said.

Roman nodded.

"You have a match tonight? I thought only Seth and Dean did", she said.

"Yeah, they did. Mine was added last minute", he replied.

"Reigns", she said.

He chuckled.

"It's a tag match. Me and Braun against Dolph and Drew. No biggie.", Roman shrugged.

She nodded, trusting her husband. She shouldn't have.
