Amaya put on the new ring gear Phil had made for her. She grabbed the high top converse and put them on. She and April had agreed since they were sisters, it was only right she put them on. Walking down the hall to the glam squad, Leslie hugged her.
"Its so good to have you back sweetheart", she said.
Amaya sat and Leslie started doing her makeup.
"What match is on right now?", Amaya asked.
"Total Divas girls", Leslie answered.
Leslie turned the monitor so Amaya could watch the match. Dean joined them and sat on the table.
"I bet Nikki's mad she's missing it", Amaya said, her eyes on the match.
Dean nodded.
"Yeah, but she'll have plenty of more moments like that when she's better", he said.
Roman silently sat next to Dean. Amaya looked between the men. Leslie started curling the ends of her hair. Brie had won the match for the Total Divas.
"All done", Leslie said over her shoulder.
"Thank you", Amaya smiled at her.
She was going to just walk away.
"So, I'll see you two later", Amaya said, making her way passed them.
"Does he treat you well?", Roman asked over his shoulder.
She stopped. She couldn't turn to face him. Dean looked between his friends.
"He does", she returned over her shoulder.
She continued down the hall. Roman's shoulders slumped forward.
"Don't do this to yourself Rome. Let her be happy", Dean said.
Roman met his eyes.
"I'm going to leave her alone, but as soon as he fucks up, I'm making my move", he said.
"And we'll be rooting for you", Leslie smiled at him.
All the make up ladies had seen the interaction between Amaya and Roman. He would sit and talk with Amaya while they were getting her ready. Did they like the cheating? Of course not, but they knew something was there between them. Roman smiled.
Dean sighed.
"I doubt he's going to fuck up", Dean said.
"Then he leaves me no choice", Roman said.
Dean didn't like hearing that.
"What are you going to do? Roman? Don't do something stupid", Dean said.
"I'm just going to remind her that I'm still here.", he said.
"That doesn't sound good to me", Dean pointed out.
Roman smiled and patted his best friend's back.
"Reigns", Big Show called to him.
Both Dean and Roman turned.
"I hear you're looking for a lawyer?", he asked.
"Yeah", Roman nodded.
"Randy went through the same thing you are. Seth let me know what was going on. Talk to him, he can help", Big Show said.
"Thanks", Roman said, before quickly making his way down the hall.
Dean right on his heels. Getting to the buses. Roman knocked on Randy's bus. Kim smiled at him as the door opened.
"Is Randy here?", Roman asked.
She nodded and let them on his bus. Randy came out of the back.
"Hey guys, what's going on?", Randy asked.
"I need the name of the lawyer who helped you", Roman said.
Randy nodded.
"Are you planning to get a divorce?", Randy asked.
"I'm not really married so there's no point", Roman stated the truth.
Randy raised a brow and looked at Kim.
"I'm going to need more than that", Randy said.
Roman told him everything. Including his plan to get Amaya and his daughter back. While also making sure he gets to keep his first born. Randy nodded.
"My ex wife tried to do the same thing with my daughter. What my lawyer did was to make sure that I was allowed to bring her with me when I wanted too and when she wasn't in school. When I had days off, I was allowed to have her at home", Randy explained.
"You got shared custody", Dean said.
Randy nodded.
"He knew they wouldn't give me full custody because of my job.", Randy said.
"All I want is to be able to see my child without Valerie being able to push me out. I'm tired of the threats and I'm tired of pretending to be someone I'm not.", Roman said.
Randy nodded. He pulled his phone out and wrote down the number to the lawyer.
"Tell him you got the number from me. He'll make you top priority", Randy said.
Roman nodded.
"Good luck", Randy smiled.
"Thanks", Roman said.
Dean and Roman made their way off the bus and towards Gorilla. Amaya was just coming back from the ring, where Lita has introduced the new women's title. Roman smiled.
"I'm going to get my girl back", Roman vowed.
Dean nodded lightly. His friend was determined, and as best friend duties apply, he must help his brother.
"I'm meeting with her for breakfast tomorrow to talk. You know, just thought I should mention it", Dean said, before walking passed Roman.
Amaya was watching Dean's match with Brock Lesnar. She winced every time Dean landed badly, even though she knew he could handle it.
"He has a hard head. He'll be fine", Roman had somehow snuck up on her.
She couldn't help but feel a little weird around him. He chuckled.
"You can blurt out we have a child together, but trying to have a civil conversation with me is hard", he said.
"It's not hard, it's weird", she pointed out.
He looked back at the screen.
"If it's worth anything, I missed you so much baby and I thought about you every day. You were my first thought in the morning and my last at night.", he said.
Amaya could feel her heart thumping against her chest with every word he spoke. He wasn't suppose to affect her like this anymore.
"I'll let you enjoy the show and good luck in your match", he said softly, before walking away.
She couldn't concentrate on the match anymore. All she could think about were his words, spinning in her head.
"You can't Amaya. You can't", she whispered for only her ears to hear.
She was waiting in Gorilla for her match. Charlotte smiled at her.
"Can I ask you something?", she asked.
Amaya nodded.
"How's Finn in bed?", Charlotte asked.
Becky and Sasha both giggled and looked towards Amaya. Amaya chuckled.
"What?", she asked.
The crew members standing near them, glanced at them before going back to work.
"How's he in bed? I mean, we've all seen his body, not below the waist of course", Charlotte said.
"He's fantastic. Long story short, that body isn't only good for wrestling", she winked.
The women laughed.
"You're so lucky", Sasha smiled.
"He's a sweet guy and loves my little girl. He's great, I'm happy", Amaya said.
"But do you love him?", Becky asked.
"Of course", Amaya nodded.
The women looked between each other, before three sets of eyes looked back at her.
"Its just hard for me to open myself up to someone again. I did that and I got burned. I know you know, and I'll admit, it was partly my fault because I knew better", Amaya said.
Sasha walked over to her and hugged her.
"Finn tells me he loves me everyday and I try to tell him as often as I can, but sometimes I can't", Amaya admitted.
"You were hurt pretty bad, of course you're going to have your hesitations", Charlotte said.
"Don't say it till you mean it, and take your time. If he's not up for that, then he's not worth it.", Becky said.
Amaya nodded.
"Ok ladies, are you ready?", Hunter asked.
The four women nodded. Amaya pulled Hunter aside.
"Are you sure Bayley is ok with this? I heard you were going to put the four horsewomen in this match", Amaya said.
She didn't need more drama backstage. Eva was enough and she was glad Cameron was no longer here. Hunter set a hand on her shoulder.
"She's fine with it, I made sure. She's excited you're back and can't wait to have a match with you", Hunter said.
Amaya nodded. After the last woman walked out, her theme played and she took a deep breath. Walking out, she didn't realize how amazing this would feel. Her eyes looked around at all the cheering fans.
Her heart was happy. She's waited a long time for this moment and here it was.
Dean joined Roman to watch the match from the monitors.
"Did you tell her?", Dean asked.
"No. I'm going to wait till I have Autumn, leave Valerie, and give my dad the ultimatum. Accept Amaya and Malia as my family or I abandon my last name.", Roman said.
He had had plenty of time to think about this.
"You know, Roman Ambrose sounds pretty cool if you're thinking about changing your last name", Dean suggested.
Roman smiled at his friend and nodded.
"Thanks Dean", Roman replied.
They watched as Charlotte had Becky pinned. Ric was holding back Sasha, he didn't notice when Amaya slid into the ring behind Charlotte. She kicked her back and Charlotte released Becky. Becky rolled out of the ring and Amaya picked up Charlotte.
"GTS from Amaya", Cole announced.
Punk had told her to use it to piss off the bosses. It would remind everyone of him and he found it funny. She agreed, only to piss off the bosses. They asked her for her demands and this was one of them.
The ref got to three and they announced Amaya as the new women's champion. Lita handed the belt to Amaya and she hugged her. AJ slid into the ring behind her and wrapped her arms around her sister. They allowed AJ into the ring.
Once she got backstage Stephanie hugged her.
"Congratulations Maya", she said.
"Thank you", Amaya replied.
Dean hugged her and lifted her off her feet. The twins hugged her next. Roman slowly approached and held his arms open for her. Everyone was looking and she couldn't exactly deny him. She walked into the hug and she felt him kiss the top of her head.
"Congrats baby girl", he whispered.
She released him at the exact same time Finn turned the corner with Malia. He walked over to her and kissed her.
"Congrats love", he said.
She kissed Malia's cheek.
"Mommy's a champion kiddo", she said softly to her daughter.
April held out the phone for her. Phil was on the screen.
"Hey, congrats champ", he said.
"Thank you", she smiled.
"Hey Roman", Phil called.
She turned and Roman was right behind her. He sent Phil a nod.
"What's up man", he replied.
He looked at Amaya.
"I need to ask you something", Roman said.
"And that's my sign to leave. See you and my bug Wednesday", Phil said, before hanging up.
"His bug?", Roman asked.
"Its his nickname for Malia", Amaya said.
He nodded. She could see Finn standing with a few of the guys. His eyes finding her and Roman every other second. April was with their mom and Malia.
"Speaking of Malia. After my win tonight, they are letting me carry Autumn up the ramp and well, I was wondering if I can have Malia there too", he said.
"I don't know. I mean, no one knows about her yet and I just don't want her in that situation", Amaya said.
He nodded understanding.
"Daddy", Malia called.
Both turned and watched Malia walk over to Roman. He smiled and bent down to pick her up in his arms.
"Sweetheart", he whispered to her before kissing her cheek.
She didn't know if it was the image before her that made her change her mind or the fact that Roman was a good dad, a far better one than the one she had, but she did.
"Ok", Amaya said.
Roman looked over at her.
"You can carry her after your win", Amaya said.
He smiled.
"Thank you", he said.
She nodded.
