Roman and Amaya were getting ready for Raw. Amaya was tying up her converse.
"Has April arrived with the kids?", Roman asked, walking into their locker room.
"Should be soon. Told her they'll be watching the show from back here.", Amaya replied.
He nodded and tied his hair.
"How do the Bellas feel with you attacking them after their match tonight?", he asked.
"Excited. Its been awhile since we've been in a ring together", she replied.
He loved seeing his wife so happy about wrestling.
"Babe", he started.
She turned to face him.
"Are you sure you want to have another baby right now? Like I've said, we can wait. I don't want you to feel pressure to have another just because I want it. I am happy with or without another", he said.
He took wrestling away from her once, he won't do it again. She has a choice this time.
She smiled and walked over to him, moving between his legs. He set his hands on her hips.
"What's going on? I thought you wanted another baby", she said.
"I do, but only if you really want one too.", he replied.
"I do", she nodded.
He returned it.
"Hey, what's going on?", she asked.
"I just, I see how happy you are when you get in the ring. I don't want to take that from you. My family and I did that once to you, I won't do it again", he replied.
"I'm happier out of it. You, the girls, are everything to me. Wrestling will always be there. Whether its with WWE or not.", she said.
He smiled.
"So, baby or no baby?", she asked with a raised brow.
"Baby", he replied.
"I hope it's a boy this time. How fun would that be? New, different challenges. Boys are different", she said excited.
He chuckled.
"I will do my best to give you a boy", he replied.
She leaned into kiss him.
"We've got about twenty minutes before my sister and the girls get here", she mumbled against his mouth.
He smirked. His hands pulling her closer to straddle him. He groaned.
"Boy, think boy", she whispered.
He chuckled before feeling her hands unbuckle his belt and pants. He licked his lips.
"I gotcha babe", he replied.
The door opened and Dean quickly turned to walk out.
"Man, put that thing away, you are going to hurt someone", Dean shouted.
Amaya laughed.
"Only my wife's insides", Roman replied.
Amaya slapped his arm and blushed. He kissed her neck.
"Give us twenty, Dean", Roman shouted.
Amaya fixed her shorts. Nikki slapped her butt.
"Heard you and the big dog were getting hot and heavy in the locker room", Nikki winked.
Amaya blushed.
"Its not our fault Dean walked in when he did", Amaya replied.
Brie and Nikki laughed.
"So, any plans after Evolution?", Amaya asked.
Brie and Nikki looked at each other.
"Well, you know we have our wine and clothing line", Brie started.
"We will also be bringing out hair care products", Nikki said excited.
"That's great. I love that you two found something outside of wrestling. I'm honestly proud of you two", Amaya said, hugging them.
"Wrestling will never be off the table, but we think that for now, it's a good option", Brie said.
Amaya nodded.
"How are Dean and Seth with this news?", she asked.
"Excited for us.", Nikki said.
"That's good.", Amaya replied.
"Ready girls?", Tyson asked.
They nodded as Ronda joined them in Gorilla. Alexa followed with Mickie. They would whisper to each other then laugh. Amaya rolled her eyes.
"I swear, its like we're back in high school with this bullshit", Ronda said.
"You can say that again", Amaya winked.
Roman watched proudly from the back. His wife was doing an amazing job so far and he didn't doubt it would continue. The twins had lost their match to the Roitt Squad.
The Bellas were slowly getting up when Amaya went out and slid into the ring. Nikki watched her carefully as Brie rubbed her neck.
Amaya went over and held a hand out.
"I don't think they should trust her", Corey said.
"Why not? She's clearly here to help", Cole replied.
"I just don't trust that innocent Lee look. It runs in the family", Corey added.
"This could be an amazing team up. The Bellas and Maya against the Riott Squad.", Renee said excited.
Nikki went to reach for it, Maya pulled her in and laughed.
"Ouch, facebuster to Nikki Bella", Cole announced.
"See, I told you", Corey almost shouted.
Brie quickly stood and turned Maya to face her. Brie slapped her across the face and Maya walked over to her before shoving her against the ropes.
Brie ran back at her, Maya lifted Brie.
"Pop up backbreaker to Brie Bella", Renee said.
"I tried to warn everyone. Maybe next time everyone will listen to me", Corey said.
"Oh, here comes Ronda", Renee said, as Ronda's music hit and she was running down the ramp.
Maya quickly slid out of the ring and ran around and into the crowd. Ronda watched her and shouted things.
Maya smirked.
"Big sister taught her that smirk. Pure evil in such tiny bodies", Corey said.
Amaya got to the back and Hunter high fived her.
"That was great, you did such a good job.", he said.
"Thanks, but I can't take all the credit. The Bellas were a big help", she replied.
"That they were", he nodded.
She turned to walk back to her locker room, when she spotted a smiling Roman. She ran up to him and he lifted her so she could wrap her legs around his waist.
"You did amazing. I am so proud of you", he said.
"Thank you babe.", she replied.
She ran her hands over his vest.
"Back in this old thing", she said.
He chuckled.
"The Shield is back together baby", he winked.
"How's your back? Good to go?", she asked.
He nodded.
"Then good luck out there Champ", she kissed him and he let her down.
After both Raw and SmackDown, Roman and Amaya were happy to be home. Both girls were tired, so they laid them down for a nap.
Roman had crawled into their bed soon after.
She couldn't believe her family was already fast asleep, and it was only one in the afternoon.
She heard a tapping on the glass door. She knew who it was already. Both women looked at each other before Amaya stepped out onto the back patio.
"You said you wanted to talk. Well?", Valerie said.
"Its about Autumn.", Amaya said.
"Clearly. I mean, we have nothing else to discuss", she replied.
Amaya sighed. Valerie nodded.
"I'm sorry for replying the way I did. This is about Autumn?", Valerie said.
Amaya told her what happened at the show. Valerie stood and paced.
"We explained most things to her. All except the part about you. Roman and I felt it was better if she heard it from you. Its your story.", Amaya said.
"And what did she say?", she asked.
"That she's ready to talk to you. It's a big step for her. I hope you're ready", Amaya said.
Valerie sighed before sitting back down.
"I am. Its all I ever wanted. Just a chance to explain myself to her.", Valerie said.
Amaya nodded.
"Roman and I are happy for you. I know what its like to have a mom, but not really have her. I just don't want you and Autumn to miss out on so many memories because of a few mistakes", Amaya said.
"Thank you", Valerie replied.
"Of course", Amaya smiled.
Valerie was now a bit angry with herself. She spent so much time and energy hating this woman. A woman who is now trying to help her and her daughter reconnect.
Amaya went to stand.
"Amaya", Valerie said, stopping her.
"Yeah?", she asked.
"I truly am sorry for everything I did to hurt you", Valerie said.
Amaya exhaled.
"Thank you", Amaya replied.
Roman had come down to look for his wife since she wasn't in bed with him. Hearing laughter, he made it to the kitchen window in time to see Amaya waving goodbye to Valerie.
His wife walked into the kitchen.
"You were suppose to wait for me", he said, making her jump.
"Don't scare me like that", she sighed.
"Yaya", he said serious.
"Relax okay. I'm fine", Amaya said.
"I see that, but no matter what she says or does, be cautious still", he said.
She nodded and kissed him.
"I know", she replied.
