They stopped at a diner to eat.

"I love how you can eat what you want and not gain weight", Kaitlyn said as she watched Amaya scarf down a double cheeseburger with fries that had cheese on top.

Amaya wiggled her brow.

"I'm starving", Amaya said, mouth full.

April laughed and shook her head.

"Ew", AJ said.

"So, what are you two doing for Christmas?", Kaitlyn asked, stealing a French fry from Amaya's plate.

She glared at her friend and Kaitlyn laughed.

"I'm not sure, probably just be us and Phil", April said.

Amaya glanced at her sister.

"What?", April asked.

"Probably?", she asked.

April looked back down at her plate.

"Mom wants to come over for Christmas and I told her I would run it by you and Phil first.", April said.

"And when were you going to do that? Christmas morning when she's at the door", Amaya said.

"Smalls, I know you're angry with them, but mom didn't do anything wrong. She was just as scared as I was when dad...", Amaya cut her off.

"Stop, I don't want her there. If you do that's fine, but I'll be at a hotel while she's there", Amaya said, standing and tossing some money on the table for her food.

"Where are you going?", Kaitlyn asked.

"I'll walk back to the hotel", Amaya said.

She walked out of the restaurant. It took almost an hour to get to the hotel. In the elevator, she texted Roman.

Fifth floor, Room 6011- Roman

She found herself three minutes later, standing in front of his door. She lifted her hand several times to knock, but just couldn't. She was really nervous and scared. He had a family, a little girl. Before she could leave, his door opened and he was surprised to see her. He smiled.

"Hey, I was about to go look for you", he said.

She stood on her tippy toes and attached her lips to his. Roman always made everything feel better. He pulled her in and closed his door. Pushing her up against it.

"I've been wanting to do that since I left you in the hall", he whispered.

He took her hand and pulled her more into his room. The only light coming from his tv. He sat on his bed and pulled her between his legs by her hips.

"What's wrong?", he asked.

She bit her lip.

"Hey, talk to me. We've always been able to talk. Are you having regrets? Do you not want to do this anymore?", he asked.

"I do, but it's not you", she said.

He patted the seat beside him and she sat, sighing.

"Start talking", he said.

"My mom wants to spend Christmas with April and I. I'm just not ready to be around her, I know she never hit me, but I can't forgive her for just standing there and letting him hit me", she said.

"If you don't want her around, you don't have to be there.", Roman said.

"That's what I told April, and I know for sure Phil isn't going to want her there.", Amaya said.

"I'm sorry you had to go through what you went through. You didn't deserve any of it and if I ever come face to face with your dad, I swear I'm going to beat him", Roman said.

Amaya touched his cheek lightly.

"If you don't want to do this tonight, it's okay, we can just talk", he said, smiling.

"I'm sorry, I just, I want to but hearing about my mom put me in a bad mood", she said.

He nodded before leaning in and kissing her.

"Want to watch a movie?", he asked.

She nodded and kicked off her shoes. They laid back in his bed. She rested her head on his chest and he rubbed her back. He enjoyed this, just being with her, having her close.

Amaya got back to her and April's room a little after midnight. Closing the door softly. The light in the room turned on and April sat on her bed.

"Where have you been?", she asked.

"Walking, I needed to clear my head", Amaya said, taking her purse off and setting it on her suitcase.

"Its dangerous to be alone outside", April said.

"I wasn't alone. I stopped and got ice cream and sat in the lobby. Lost track of time", Amaya said, kicking her shoes off.

"I'll tell her she can't go over", April said.

"Don't do that, you want her there and besides, it's your place and Phil's. I can't tell you who you can and can't have over", Amaya said.

"Still, besides I told Phil and he flipped, said the same thing you said", April said.

Amaya looked at her older sister.

"I'm just not ready April, okay", she said.

AJ nodded.

"Its you and me against the world Smalls and I will always put you before them. I promised to protect you as best I could, and I'm keeping that promise", her sister said.

Amaya hugged her sister.

"So are you going to tell me who the mystery guy is? I know you were with him, I can smell cologne on you", April said.

Amaya swallowed. April cupped her sister's face.

"Don't tell me then, but eventually I do want to know who he is and I want to talk to him", April said.

Amaya nodded.

"Its just new and I want to see where it goes before he talks to you.", Amaya said.

April nodded.

"I get it", she said.

Getting to the arena for SmackDown, Hunter wanted to see Amaya and AJ about some important news. Dropping off their stuff, they made their way to his makeshift office. AJ knocked and Carano opened the door.

"Ladies, come in", he said.

Hunter smiled at them before gesturing for them to sit.

"So, I know we have plans right now to have Kaitlyn turn on the both of you, but we've also decided on a heel turn for you Amaya.", Hunter said.

"So soon?", Amaya asked.

Hunter and Mark nodded.

"You'll be losing the title next month to Kaitlyn, and blame your sister. You'll turn on her that same night", Hunter said.

"Punk will come out to help AJ and The Shield will come out to help you.", Mark finished.

"You're teaming me up with the Shield?", Amaya asked.

Hunter nodded.

"A couple of fans have noticed you some times carpool with them and have tweeted us about a possible team up", Hunter said.

"Eventually it will lead you to being their manager", Carano said.

"That sounds pretty cool to me", AJ said.

"And as for you AJ, we've been talking about giving you a lengthy title run. We just don't know when or how yet", Hunter said.

AJ nodded.

"Have you talked to The Shield guys yet? About me teaming up with them.", Amaya said.

"Not yet, but we will", Hunter said.

Amaya nodded.

The Shield had talked to Hunter about teaming up with Amaya and all three agreed happily. The story was going to revolve around each of them having a sort of crush on Amaya. The only ones who found that awkward were Dean and Seth.

They had to film a few backstage scenes with her, each letting her know of his intentions towards her. This way when they went down to help her when she turned, the fans would understand why they went down.

Seth was up first, the cameraman was focusing on Amaya who was standing with Kaitlyn and AJ. The cameraman signaled to the girls.

"Why don't you have a match tonight?", Kaitlyn asked Amaya, who had the title on her shoulder.

"I had two matches at TLC and then I had to give Eve her rematch on Monday. I am defending my title", Maya said, before rolling her eyes.

"Alright you two, don't start", AJ said.

"She started it", Maya said.

"Well if I was champ, I'd defend my title every night because that's what a real champ does", Kaitlyn said.

Both Maya and AJ glared at her.

"At least I got a shot at the belt. You couldn't even make it past Naomi or anyone else for that matter", Maya said.

Kaitlyn was going to reply, but stopped when she saw Seth. He bit into an apple.

"Hi Seth", Kaitlyn said.

"Hey um, Krystal", he said.

"Kaitlyn", she corrected.

"Right", he said, before looking at Maya.

His eyes ran over her and he smirked.

"Hi sweetheart, I'm Seth Rollins", he said.

"Maya...", he cut her off.

"I know. That title looks really, really good on you. You know what else would look good on you?", he said.

"What?", Maya asked.

"Me", he said.

He winked before walking away from them. Kaitlyn didn't look too happy that he hit on Maya instead of her. Maya sent a look towards Kaitlyn before walking away.

"Kaitlyn", AJ said, snapping her fingers in her face.

She looked at AJ.

"Focus, we have a match tonight", AJ said to her.

"Whatever, I'm ready for the Bellas", she said, before walking away.

AJ exhaled and shook her head. The cameraman yelled cut to let AJ know they were done filming that part. Amaya joined her sister.

"We'll be filming the next segment with the Bellas. We're just waiting for them to get into their gear.", Carano said.
