Roman rushed to the hospital. He knew something was up with his wife when she took longer in the shower than usual. She should have told him. He shook his head.
"Your energy, I don't like it", Dean said.
"My energy?", Roman asked.
Dean nodded.
"Brie has been reading these books and I might have picked one up", Dean replied.
"You, picked up a book that didn't have porn in it?", Roman joked.
Dean chuckled.
"My sex life is great and my woman is fucking hot. I don't need porn", Dean replied.
Roman chuckled.
"So lets get this energy out before my niece gets here. What's bothering you?", Dean asked, stopping at a red light.
"She was in labor all day. She didn't say anything to me. We promised not to lie to each other or keep secrets", Roman said.
"Bayley said Veronica thought she was having braxton hicks. I could see why she didn't want to worry you yet.", Dean explained.
Roman sighed.
"Her water broke after you left and before Bayley got there. She thought she had more time", Dean added.
"Why do you have to be right? Why can't I just be mad?", Roman mumbled.
Dean chuckled.
"You don't want to be mad at your woman. She's giving you a daughter, she's making you a dad.", Dean said.
Roman smiled.
"She's going to be beautiful, man.", Dean added.
"I'm not mad at her. I'm mad at me. I knew something was wrong and I should have stayed home.", Roman said.
Dean nodded.
Tori ushered the girls to the playroom in their dad's house. She didn't want them freaking out while Raya was giving birth."Okay Raya, push", the midwife said.Raya did. Tori had asked to be in the room and hold her sister's hand. She also wanted to take mental notes for when she had to give birth alone.She wouldn't be able to go to a hospital, not without her dad and sister finding her."Push Raya. I need one more big push", the midwife shouted over Raya's screams.Raya did and they suddenly heard crying. The midwife smiled."It's a boy", she announced."Let me see him", Raya demanded.The midwife cleaned him better before bringing him over. She laid him in her sister's arms. Raya's smile slipped."This isn't mine. It can't be.", Raya said, glaring at the midwife, who looked confused."But he is. You saw me pull him out, you saw me…", Raya cut her off."He has colored eyes and his hair, its not dark at all. Nothing like my other children", Raya said to her.The midwife was still confused. Raya looked at Tori."Take him to Rhodes. He has no future here. He's worthless", Raya said, handing the baby to Tori.Tori looked from her nephew to the midwife."What's his name?", Tori asked."Trash. Worthless trash", Raya mumbled.The midwife gasped. Raya looked at her."You've been paid well, now get out. Now", Raya shouted, making the baby cry.Raya looked at her sister."I said get him away from me", Raya said.Victoria nodded before walking out of the room. Their dad stood and looked at the baby. He mumbled something before walking away with a disgusted look.Tori looked down at her nephew."It will be okay, Cody", she whispered.
"Push Veronica, I need another big push", the doctor said.
Roman held her hand as she did.
"You're doing so good baby. We are so close to seeing Rosie.", he whispered.
She nodded as she relaxed and laid back. He kissed the side of her head.
"I see the head. Alright Ronnie, I need another big push", the doctor said.Ronnie took a deep breath before pushing. Roman watched as his daughter's face was coming into view. Ronnie exhaled and sat back.
"Come on sweetheart, another one. Give me one more", the doctor encouraged.
Ronnie looked at Roman.
"If she doesn't give me a chance to catch my breath, I will shoot her", Ronnie growled.
Roman chuckled.
"You can't baby. She's helping to bring our sunshine into the world. Now one last time.", Roman whispered.
Veronica took a deep breath before pushing again. Cries instantly heard.
"Alright mom and dad, say hello to your little miss", the doctor said, laying her on Ronnie's chest.
"She's beautiful. See, I told you it was a girl", Veronica said.
Roman smiled, tears welling up in his eyes."You did baby, and she is the most beautiful view I have ever seen. Hi little mama", Roman softly touched his daughter's cheek.
"Hi Rosie", Ronnie whispered.
The nurse came over.
"I need to clean and weigh her. I promise to give her right back mommy", the nurse said.
Veronica was hesitant, Roman knew this.
"I would never let anything happen to our girl. Rosie will be fine", he said.
Veronica nodded and Roman took his daughter. She watched the nurse from the bed. Her baby stretched and cried.
"She's just cold. She was nice and warm inside you.", Roman whispered.
He knew his wife wanted to jump out of bed and strangle the nurses whenever Rosie cried.
When the nurse walked over with a clean and wrapped baby, Ronnie smiled."She might be hungry. You can try to feed her once we get you settled in a room", the nurse said.
Ronnie smiled and couldn't take her eyes off Rosie. Roman kissed the top of his wife's head.
"I'm going to go tell our families about her", Roman whispered.
"No, take her.", Ronnie said.
Roman was surprised by that.
"What?", she asked.
"Its just, you wanted to kill the nurses for taking her a minute ago", he replied.
"This is different, you're her father. I trust you with her.", she replied.
He smiled before taking his daughter in his arms.
"See you in a few", Roman said.Ronnie nodded and smiled. He looked so good with a baby in his arms. His little girl.
Roman got to the room that they would be bringing Ronnie too. His mom gasped.
"Hi grandma. I'm Rosie", Roman said, handing the baby to his mom.
She started crying and kissing her.
"She's beautiful. Has that Garcia girl nose.", his mom said.
"That's the same thing I thought", Roman nodded.
His daughter tried to open her eyes. Blinking quickly while trying to look around.
"Want to say hi to grandpa", his mom said, handing the baby to his dad.
"Thank god you got your mom's looks", his dad said.
Everyone laughed. Melina and Garcia finally got there. Ben held his granddaughter.
"She looks so much like Ronnie when she was born. Same little nose.", Ben said, tapping the little nose gently.
Roman chuckled. They finally brought Ronnie in.
"Sisters, we make cute kids. She is a beauty, Ron", Melina said.
Her dad walked over to her and kissed the side of her head.
"You did an incredible job my own little one", her dad whispered.
She smiled at him.
"But I'm not your youngest anymore.", she replied.
"Out of my girls, you are still my little one", he replied.
She smiled.
"I don't understand how she couldn't love us. As soon as I saw Rosie's face, I fell in love with her. I never wanted to let her go. How could my mother do it?", Ronnie whispered.
"She had no soul, and you had me. Your sisters. She didn't know love. You do", her dad said.
Melina brought Rosie over to her.
"Little miss is hungry.", she said.
Ronnie smiled and took her daughter back.
"Lets give the new parents a chance to bond with their baby. We can always come back tomorrow.", Patricia said.
After everyone left, Ronnie fed Rosie. Roman kissed his daughter's soft cheek. She whined.
"Sounds like you when you're eating.", Ronnie said.
"Alright miss thing, I'll let you eat in peace", Roman said.
After Veronica fed her, Roman held her and Ronnie fell asleep. He didn't mind since this gave him a chance to bond with his baby girl.
He couldn't stop smiling at her.
"Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Reigns. I just came for little Rosie. Check up to see how she is now that mommy fed her.", the nurse said.
Roman nodded and laid her back down. The nurse looked at Veronica.
"She won't mind would she?", the nurse asked.
Roman couldn't answer that. His wife was very cautious around people she didn't know. He understand that, anyone could try to get back at them through Rosie.
"It won't be long, promise", the nurse said.
Roman nodded.
"Alright", he replied.
He watched the nurse wheel Rosie out in her little bed. Maybe he should have followed.
No. He trusted this hospital. His family always donated and held events for the kids here.
"Baby", he heard Ronnie say.
He turned to see her smile before it disappeared after she looked around the room.
"Where's Rosie?", she asked.
