WrestleMania Day-
Amaya paced the living room. Finn was playing with Malia on the floor. His phone went off and he answered it.
"Now? Really? Ok", he said, before hanging up.
"What's up?", Amaya asked.
"I have to go. I've got a meeting with Hunter and Stephanie", he said.
"Now? Really?", she asked.
"That's the same thing I said", he smiled.
He kissed the top of Malia's head and walked over to her. He placed his hands on her hips.
"I love you and I'll see you before your match tonight", he said.
She nodded and kissed him before watching him walk out.
"Mommy", Malia called.
Amaya walked over to her and was about to sit down when someone knocked. She walked over to the door and opened it. Roman stood there, hands in his pockets and a nervous look on his face.
"Hi", he said.
She opened the door wider.
"Come in", she said.
He swallowed, but didn't move.
"Everything ok?", she asked, when he didn't take a step inside.
"Does she, know who I am? I don't want to scare her since she's never met me", he said.
Amaya smiled.
"She knows who you are. Phil made sure she did and so did I. She's watched a few of your matches. She's really friendly, loves meeting new people.", Amaya said.
Roman nodded and walked in. His little girl sat on the floor, piling Legos on top of each other.
"She's beautiful", he whispered.
Amaya smiled, proud of the little girl they created.
"And she's smart, loves building Legos with Finn", Amaya said.
The little girl looked up and noticed Roman. Her curls falling in front of her eyes. She brushed them away.
"Daddy", she smiled.
Roman shed a few tears. This was his daughter. He bent down and she stood and walked over to him.
"Daddy", she said excited.
He opened his arms to her and her little hands clung to him.
"Hi baby girl", he whispered to her.
Amaya quietly made her way out of the living room. Giving him and Malia a chance to bond. She could hear Malia going on and on about who knows what. She was sure Roman didn't care though.
"Yaya", Roman called.
Amaya walked back into the living room.
"I want to introduce her to my family and Autumn", Roman said, Malia in his lap.
"Rome", he stopped her.
"I will not let them treat her differently. No one is going to disrespect my kids, ever. Valerie won't be there either, she's out shopping with her sister", Roman said.
"Ok, when?", Amaya asked.
"Now", he said.
"Now? As in now, right now?", she asked.
He nodded.
"Ok, but you'll bring her right back right?", Amaya asked.
Roman smirked.
"You are coming with me my love", Roman said standing.
He placed Malia on his hip and walked over to Amaya.
"Roman", Amaya sighed.
He took her hand and they walked out. They only had an hour more before they had to report to the stadium. They made their way up to the next floor where he was staying. He had texted his family to meet in his room for a meeting.
Walking in, his family stopped as they saw the little girl in his arms. He moved aside and showed them Amaya. She didn't know why she let these people get to her. She wanted to take Malia back and run, far and as fast as she could.
"What is she doing here?", Roman's dad spat.
"She is the mother of my daughter. Respect her or none of you will be in my little girl's life.", Roman said.
"Daughter?", his mom asked.
Even though she knew that little girl in his arms was his. She looked exactly like Autumn when she was that little.
"Malia", Roman introduced proudly.
His little girl was a little shy now with all these people looking right at her. She turned and buried her face into her dad's chest, clinging to his shirt. He kissed the side of her head. Amaya could hear Roman whispering softly to Malia to comfort her.
"Maybe I should take her back? Besides, I have to get everything ready before going to the stadium.", Amaya said, holding her arms out.
Truthfully, she didn't want to hear what his family was about to tell him about her little girl. She wouldn't be able to hold her tongue. It took Roman, almost a minute before he handed Malia over to Amaya.
"Wait", his mom called, stopping Amaya.
She took a deep breath before turning around to face her. She stepped towards Amaya and out of protective instinct, she took a step back.
"I just want to see her", his mom said gently.
Amaya looked from her to her daughter.
"It's ok Yaya", Roman said, behind his mom.
As she got closer, she placed her hand on the little girl's back.
"Hi sweetheart, I'm grandma", she said softly.
Malia took a peek and looked at the woman.
"How old is she?", she asked.
"Turned two in January", Amaya replied.
Patricia smiled.
"She's beautiful. Look at her curls", she cooed over her granddaughter.
Roman smiled and watched as his mom accepted his new baby girl. Autumn came out of the connecting room. He bent down and called her over.
"Roman", his father warned.
Roman glared at him.
"She has a right to know she has a sister", Roman replied.
"You don't know that", his dad was angry.
He looked at Autumn and lifted her into his arms. He walked her over to his mom and Amaya.
"Autumn, this is your baby sister, Malia", Roman introduced.
Autumn looked confused at first, but seeing the little girl's face, she smiled.
"Malia", Autumn said.
Roman nodded and smiled. The door to the connecting room opened again. Roman instinctively handed Autumn to his mom and hid the women behind him.
"What the hell is she doing here?", Valerie yelled.
Jimmy and Jey chuckled, enjoying Valerie and her red, angry face. They didn't like the fact that Valerie had trapped their cousin into a marriage using their kids.
"Watch your tone", Roman snapped.
Amaya squeezed Malia against her. She couldn't see Valerie, but she could definitely feel the energy change in the room. It was hostile and she didn't want Malia around that. Phil and April hardly ever fought and if they needed to, they would go out back or to their room, and the same went for Finn and Amaya.
Before she could make a move towards the door. Roman's mom placed her arm around Amaya.
"Let Roman handle this", his mom whispered to her.
"Answer the damn question", Valerie shouted.
Malia jumped in Amaya's arms.
"You're scaring the kids", Jimmy said, glaring at Valerie after he saw Malia jump and cling to her mom.
"Shut up, no one is talking to you", she replied to him.
"Mommy", Malia said.
Valerie couldn't see behind Roman, but she knew that wasn't Autumn. Roman stepped aside, showing her Malia and Amaya. If Valerie could kill with a look, it would be the one she has on her face now.
"How do you know she's yours? If she easily spread her legs for you, she would do it for anyone. Besides, she might belong to that boyfriend of hers", Valerie smirked.
"She's mine, I have no doubts about that", Roman quickly responded.
Valerie's smile fell.
"Her name's Malia", Jey added.
He knew his cousin wanted to name Autumn that, but Valerie had turned it down. Valerie was fuming now.
"Then she wouldn't mind doing a paternity test", Sika jumped in before Valerie said something she would regret.
Roman snapped his head towards his dad.
"She doesn't need too", Roman said.
She had to think, do something to make sure Roman didn't leave her.
"So what, she comes back after I lost our baby. Your going to leave with her now? You blame me for losing our child. Bringing her here and showing us that thing, you're punishing me", Valerie forced herself to cry.
The mood changed in the room again. Amaya didn't care.
"My child is not a thing, as you put it. I'm sorry you lost your baby, but I would never do something so cruel to you and neither would Roman.", Amaya said.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, but your child is nothing but a mistake. She's no Reigns and she'll never be accepted as one", Valerie spat.
Before she could respond, Roman did.
"Don't you ever call my child a mistake, ever.", he shouted in her face.
She had to take a few steps away from him, almost falling back.
"As far as you're concerned, you aren't a Reigns. Both of my little girls are, but you, you'll never be one. You call either of my daughters a mistake again and I'll end this marriage. You will respect my children and the mother of my little girl, because guess what? You're stuck with her for the rest of your life. Malia is Autumn's little sister and I plan on making sure they share a bond. No matter how much you hate Amaya, that bond they share won't ever change", Roman had enough.
"I should go, let you all talk", Amaya said softly before quickly making her way towards the door.
Roman was right behind her.
"Please don't let this change your mind about letting me be in her life. I can't just ignore her or act like she doesn't exist", he said worried.
Amaya sighed.
"I would never do that. She's half yours and you have a right to her", she shrugged.
"Amaya", he said softly.
She looked up and met his eyes.
"She is a Reigns", he said.
She nodded and he opened the door for her. He watched her till she got on the elevator. Walking back into the room, Valerie was crying hysterically and he rolled his eyes.
"That child is", Roman stopped his dad.
"If you so much as say she is no Reigns, then I'll stop being one too. You will not talk badly about my children or the mother of my child. I am done doing what you want. If that's embarrassing your last name, then I'll change mine", Roman said, before making his way into his room.
Jimmy and Jey nodded silently in the corner before leaving the room as well. Grabbing their bags and following Roman down the hall.
Amaya got back to the room and her mom and April sat there.
"Where have you been?", April asked.
"Roman wanted to tell his family about Malia and he did", Amaya said, before handing her off to her mom.
Her mom set Malia down in front of her Legos.
"And what happened? Do I have to call Phil and kick some ass?", April asked.
"Relax, I handled it and surprisingly so did Roman.", Amaya said.
"About time he does", April said.
"I have to get to the stadium. Don't forget I have a box for you guys and Finn.", Amaya called as she walked into her room to get her bag.
April followed her.
"Are you nervous?", April asked.
"A little, but I'm more excited to finally get back in that ring.", Amaya said.
April nodded.
"I have to go, there's a meeting with all the women before the show starts and I don't want to be late", Amaya said, rushing passed April.
"Remember to have fun smalls, but put on a show and bring home that title.", April said behind her.
Amaya went over to Malia and kissed the top of her head before kissing her mom's cheek.
"I love you guys. Cheer loudly for me", Amaya said, before walking out the door.
She hit the button for the elevator and it stopped. The doors opened and Roman stood there with his cousins. She sighed. Roman smiled.
"Its destiny Yaya", Jimmy smirked.
He opened his arms wide and she walked into the hug. She laughed softly and shook her head at him.
"Still the same old Jimmy", Amaya said, before the doors closed.
"Come on baby girl, bring it in", Jey said, before wrapping her in his arms.
Jimmy joined the group hug.
"Come on Uce, you too", Jey said to Roman.
Roman chuckled before joining. The doors opened and Finn stood there.
"Hey, I've been looking for you", Amaya said, before gently removing herself from the hug.
Roman and Finn looked at each other. Amaya kissed Finn, bringing him back to her.
"I thought I wasn't going to get to see you till after", she said.
"Yeah, meeting ran a little longer than I thought", Finn said, taking her hands.
Jey nudged her.
"We'll save you a seat on the bus Yaya", Jey said.
Amaya nodded. She looked back at Finn.
"Do I get a good luck kiss?", she asked.
He smiled and leaned in, pressing his lips against hers.
"Good luck beautiful and remember that no matter what, I love you", he said.
"I love you too", she replied.
Roman stopped and looked over at her. Had he heard her right? Did she just tell him she loved him? Amaya glanced at him. That look, let him know she didn't love Finn. She still loved him and so he smiled. She returned it.
"I have to go, but I'll see you after", she said, looking back at Finn.
He nodded before kissing her again.
