December 2014-

Amaya had just moved back to New Jersey. She was staying with Phil and April till she could find a place of her own. They were wrapping gifts while Phil took Malia outside to watch the snow.

"Are you sure you want to retire? You don't have too", Amaya said.

"I think it's time. I've done everything I set out to do and with Phil and the company going at it, it's as good a time as any", April said.

Amaya nodded.

"When do you plan on training again?", April asked.

"I've been hitting the gym. I want to lose more of the baby weight before I step back in a ring", Amaya said.

Her sister nodded.

"Any plans for Malia's first birthday?", April asked.

"I figured maybe just a cake, us, and maybe invite mom. We talked and agreed that as long as dad stays far away from Malia, we're good", Amaya said.

"Are you planning on inviting Roman?", April asked.

Amaya met her sister's eyes.

"She's almost one and he still has no clue about her. He's her father Yaya", April said.

"I know", Amaya mumbled.

April knew Amaya was scared. She was worried his family would treat Malia like an outsider, make her feel like a mistake. April would have heads rolling if anyone called her only niece a mistake. Phil would do the same for his little bug. Phil walked in with a bundled up Malia.

"She looks like a marshmallow in that jacket. I can only see her eyes, nose, and mouth", AJ laughed softly.

She walked over to Phil and took Malia.

"Lets get you warm", April said, taking Malia to the room.

January 2015-

Paige walked into the performance center and found Matt Bloom. Finn was in his office with him.

"Hey, are you still looking for Amaya Mendez?", Paige asked.

Matt stood slowly.

"I know where you can find her", Paige said.

"How do you know this is where she really is?", Matt asked, once she handed over the address.

"Because I go and visit her", Paige said.

Finn watched and listened silently from his seat.

"We've been looking for her for months Paige. Why didn't you say something sooner?", Matt asked.

"When you go and talk to her, you'll know why. Its not my place to tell", Paige said, before walking out.

Finn looked at Matt.

"I can go for you if you want", Finn said.

"No, I have to do this", Matt said.

"Mind if I come with you?", Finn asked.

"I could use the company", Matt said.

"Happy Birthday", Phil said, before kissing Malia's cheek.

"I can't believe she's one already. She's growing too fast and Reigns isn't here to see it", April sighed dramatically.

"What is it with you? I thought you hated him?", Amaya asked as she cut the small cake.

"I do hate him for what he did to you, but he didn't do anything to Malia. He's a good father, we both know that. She deserves one of those, we didn't get one", April said softly.

"Way to play the dad card sis", Amaya said.

"It's true", April replied.

"Yeah, it is", Amaya said.

April watched Amaya walk away with a piece of cake and set it in front of Malia.

"Go ahead, make a big ass mess bug", Phil said to Malia.

Amaya laughed.

"Just know you're going to clean it up", Amaya said.

"So when do you want to start your training? Your mom comes and watches her, we have a few hours to spare", Phil said as they watched Malia stuff her little face with cake.

"Tomorrow", Amaya said.

Phil nodded.

February 2015-

Finn and Matt Bloom arrived in New Jersey. They asked for the directions to the warehouse where Amaya was training. Matt didn't just want to fly down without the support of Hunter and Stephanie. Stephanie was quick to give him the go ahead, after coming up with a good deal.

"What if she's not here today?", Finn asked.

"She will be, she's dedicated", Matt replied.

They walked in. A few guys looked over and sent them nods. Finally finding her in the last ring with Punk.

"It's good to see you've still got it", Matt said as they stopped near the ring.

Both Punk and Amaya stopped. She placed her hands on her hips after wiping the sweat off her forehead.

"Took you long enough to find me and yes, I've heard you've been looking for me. I'm assuming Paige told you where I was", she said.

"Nothing gets passed you", Matt said.

"Answer's no", Amaya said.

"You haven't even heard me out yet", he said.

Phil and Amaya had agreed on making wwe work for it if they wanted her back.

"I need a water break. Talk to them", Phil said.

Amaya sighed and rolled out of the ring.

"Talk. You've got about fifteen minutes before he comes back", she said.

She sent a nod to Finn, who smiled back.

"Stephanie sent us. She wants you back and knows you shouldn't have been fired. Vince isn't in charge right now", Matt said.

"Ok", she said.

"They want to offer you more money, merchandise as soon as you make your debut and a lengthy title run.", Matt said.

"She even said you can set your own schedule", Finn said.

Matt nodded. Behind them, Amaya noticed her mom looking around.

"Can I choose when I want to start?", Amaya asked.

"We can ask", Finn said.

"I'm also going to need a babysitter. There's only one person other than Phil and my sister that I trust with my daughter and that's my mom", Amaya said.

Matt and Finn looked at each other. That hadn't heard about a child. Amaya's mom walked over and smiled.

"Hi sweetie, I have to get to work", she said.

Amaya took Malia. Her mom eyed the men she was talking too, before leaving for work.

"This is my daughter, Malia", Amaya said, introducing them to her little girl.

"When? I mean, how? Is she?", Matt didn't know what to say.

"Last January. I conceived her by having sex, and yes she is his", Amaya said.

Finn laughed.

"I'll talk to Stephanie.", Matt said.

"Also, I won't be going back now. My sister is having her moment at WrestleMania and I won't take that from her. So my debut will be some time after that", Amaya said.

Matt nodded.

"I'll get back to you", Matt said.

"She's beautiful by the way", Finn said.

Amaya smiled.

"Thank you and this", he stopped her.

"Stays between us and Stephanie", Matt finished for her.

"Thank you", Amaya said.

Roman was sitting at home. He was looking at the wedding band on his hand. He knew it was wrong to lie to his parents, but he had to. Dean had come up with the idea and Valerie agreed. He knew she would because this was as close as she was going to get.

They had faked a wedding and had not invited anyone. Dean took pictures from a distance and had one of his friends pretend to me a minister. Roman bought actual wedding bands.

"How are you and Nikki?", Roman asked his long time friend.

"Good, we've been looking at houses in Vegas", Dean nodded.

"Good, I'm glad.", Roman said.

"How's your fake marriage?", Dean asked, before taking a drink of his coffee.

"Hell, but as long as my parents believe it's real, it's all good", Roman said.

Dean nodded.

"And your blue balls?", Dean asked smirking.

Roman laughed and so did Dean. He noticed Roman was doing a little better. He wasn't drinking as much anymore and went out with them again after the show. Dean knew Roman wasn't over Amaya though. He would watch as Roman called her phone and left her a message. Finally the voicemail had said it was full and he couldn't leave a message anymore.

Roman had started texting her.

"How's Autumn?", Dean asked.

"Happy as always", Roman said.

"Why don't you just file for custody Rome? Beat her to it", Dean said.

"I've been thinking about it. I just need to find a lawyer that will assure me that I can win. I know I won't get full custody because of my job, but just to know that I have shared custody and that she has to let me see Autumn and bring her home when I want to or on the road with me. Its enough", Roman said.

Dean nodded.

"I'll help if you want. I'll keep an ear and eye out for someone", Dean said.

"Thanks", Roman nodded.

Finn had gone over to Amaya's apartment. She opened the door and looked surprised to see him.

"Can I come in?", he asked.

She nodded and opened the door wider for him. Malia was playing on the floor with blocks. Phil and April smiled.

"And who's this?", April asked.

"April, this is Finn Balor. Finn, this is my sister April and my brother in law Phil", Amaya introduced them.

They shook his hand. Phil was showing something to Malia.

"Dada", Malia said.

Everyone turned to look at her.

"Did she just say Dada?", April asked.

Everyone nodded.

"I show her a picture of Roman and say Dada.", Phil said.

"Phil, why would you do that?", Amaya asked.

He shrugged.

"She needs to learn it some day, why not now", he said.

"Dada", Malia said again.

Amaya sighed before looking back at Finn.

"So what brings you by?", Amaya asked Finn.

"Matt spoke to Stephanie and Hunter, they both agreed and have a perfect time for you to return. It's a long way away, but it will be worth it and it gives you time to get use to the ring again.", Finn said.

"And lose weight", she smirked.

Finn shook his head.

"No, that's not what I meant at all", he said.

"Relax I know, I was just messing with you", Amaya said.

April and Phil laughed.

"She has a weird sense of humor, they both do", Phil said.

"That's how you know we're sisters", April said from the kitchen.

Finn noticed that the only similar qualities the sisters shared were their hair, eyes, and shape of their nose. Also their height. Amaya was skinny, but not as much as April and where April was toned, Amaya wasn't.

Amaya's chest was also bigger and so was her bottom half. Finn narrowed it down to 'baby did a body good'.

"Tell them thank you", Amaya said.

Finn nodded.

"Also, if you're training, why not come down to the performance center and I can help", Finn suggested.

"No, thank you for the offer, but no", Amaya said.

Finn nodded and April noticed the disappointed look on Finn's face.

"How about dinner?", April suggested.

Everyone looked at her.

"I mean, you two, go out to dinner. Have some fun smalls, you haven't gone out in forever. Go out with Finn and enjoy", April said.

Amaya was going to say no.

"I'd like that", Finn said.

Amaya smiled.

"Ok", she said.

She couldn't exactly decline anymore. Finn nodded.

"I'll be back around say, eight?", he asked.

"Sounds good", Amaya nodded.
