Amaya stayed with Seth at his hotel room.
"What are you going to do?", he asked.
"I don't know", Amaya said.
"Roman still thinks you and Finn are engaged", Seth said.
"And it's going to stay that way Seth. You can't tell him, especially now. He needs to focus on Autumn and getting her back", Amaya said.
"And once he has her, then can I tell him?", he asked.
Amaya smiled.
"Seth", he groaned.
"No, you two love each other and you've been separated long enough. After this whole thing with Valerie, I'm telling him if you don't.", Seth said.
Roman arrived to the arena for Raw. He took the weekend to speak to his lawyer about the custody hearing coming up before Extreme Rules. He didn't want any meetings filling up his time with Malia.
"Daddy", Malia shouted when she saw him.
He smiled. She brought his spirits back up. Seeing her smile and happy to see him.
"Hey baby girl", he whispered to her after lifting her into his arms.
Amaya approached him.
"Hey", she said.
He sent her a small nod.
"So, how did the hearing go?", she asked.
He kissed Malia's cheek.
"It was just the judge talking and asking if we were sure we wanted to go through this whole mess. Valerie of course said yes", Roman said.
"I'm sorry", she said.
"Just have to sit there and take it, anything for my baby girl", Roman said.
Amaya smiled. He touched her cheek lightly.
"You ok?", he asked.
She looked at Malia and he set her down.
"Go with aunt Brie", Roman said.
They watched as she ran over to Brie. Brie took her hand.
"Give us a second Brie", Roman shouted.
Brie sent a thumbs up.
"Talk to me", he said.
"Turns out, Finn cheated on me more than once. I flew down to Orlando and confronted Cathy. She fessed up and I slapped her. Didn't mean too, it just happened and I had no right to do that. Especially with what happened between you and I. Anyway, I confronted Finn as well. Things are on pause", Amaya shrugged.
"I'm sorry. You don't deserve that", he said.
"Don't I though? I mean, it's karma coming back to bite me in the ass", Amaya said.
"A very cute ass if I do say so myself", Roman said smiling.
Amaya laughed and blushed.
"If we are talking karma, woman I'm on that same boat. We could keep each other warm", he said.
Amaya nudged him.
"Is sex all you think about?", she asked.
"Only when it's you", he said.
She pulled him down and kissed him.
"You get Malia this week", she whispered.
He nodded before she walked away. He smiled.
After SmackDown, Amaya handed Malia to Roman.
"So she'll stay with my mom when I leave for work. Then my parents will bring her to Extreme Rules", Roman said.
"Ok", she said.
"She'll be ok with me Yaya", he said.
"I know, I'm not worried there. You are a good dad Ro", she said.
That made him feel good about himself.
"Good luck in court", Amaya said.
"Would you come?", he asked.
"You really want me there? What about Valerie?", she asked.
"Fuck Valerie, fuck Finn. I need you", Roman said.
"Bad daddy, no bad words", Malia said with the cutest expression on her face.
"Sorry baby", Roman said.
"Punk cusses a lot and April tells her to get him in trouble.", Amaya said.
"So will you?", he asked.
"If you want me there, ok", she said.
He smiled and leaned down, kissing her.
"And if you want to come to my room tonight, I won't stop you", he whispered with a smirk.
"Tempting", she whispered back.
He licked his lips.
"I love you Amaya", he said.
She smiled.
"I love you", she replied.
"Is that a yes to my proposal?", he asked.
"Don't push it", she said.
He chuckled.
"See you Thursday for the hearing", he said.
She nodded.
Amaya was packing for tomorrow and for the rest of the week. Seeing as they would have to go back to work after the hearing. April and Phil walked into her apartment with their bags and mom.
"What's going on?", Amaya asked.
"We are coming with you. The more support he has, the better", Phil said.
"I'm going to murder Finn", April said.
"Oh dear, what have I told you about that", their mom said.
"Don't talk about it out loud", April said.
"Exactly", their mom said.
"It's a good thing Malia isn't here. I don't want her learning this behavior", Phil said.
Roman was taking his vitamins when his mom walked in.
"Grandma", Malia smiled and ran to her.
"Hi my sweet princess", his mom said.
Roman smiled. His dad walked in behind his mom and took Malia from her.
"Are you ready for tomorrow?", his dad asked.
"Yes. Amaya is coming", he said.
His dad nodded.
"Good, the sooner I can apologize better and talk with her the better", his dad said.
"Thanks", Roman said.
Roman sighed. He suddenly felt a jolt of energy. He shook is head.
"I'm going to go work out. Mind keeping an eye on Mal?", he asked.
"Go for it. If it will help with the stress", his mom said.
He nodded and grabbed his gym bag from the closet. This was a different kind of energy he felt. Something wasn't right. He left his bag in the back of the truck and decided to go for a run. His mom called him after two hours and he walked home. He suddenly felt lighter and less stressed.
"Roman, where have you been?", his mom asked.
"Mom, relax, I'm fine. Everything is going to be ok", he said smiling.
"You didn't go to the gym. Where did you go son?", his dad asked.
"For a run and it was a wonderful run dad. I feel, amazing", he said.
Both his parents seemed worried. This wasn't like their son.
"You should take a shower and head to bed", his mom suggested.
"Where's Mal?", he asked.
"Asleep Rome", his dad said.
He nodded.
"Man, if only Amaya was here. I'd go to town on that ass right now", Roman chuckled.
Something really wasn't right. Roman walked into his room and towards his shower. He got in, clothes and all.
"His mood shifted quickly", his dad said.
His mom nodded.
"Too quickly", she said.
"I'll stay here tonight. Keep an eye on him", Sika said.
She nodded.
"I'll come by early and check in", she said.
Roman woke up with the biggest headache. His clothes were soaked and so was his bed.
"What the fuck?", he groaned.
His bedroom door opened and Malia wiped her eyes before climbing onto his bed.
"Daddy, why is your bed wet?", she asked confused.
"I'm not sure babe. Come on, let's get you off this and I need to change", he said.
She nodded. His dad walked into his room.
"Sunshine and rainbows, your up", his dad said.
"Not so loud dad", Roman said.
"What happened to you last night?", his dad asked.
He sat on his bed and sighed.
"I don't know. I don't, remember", Roman said.
Sika was worried.
"Malia, breakfast is ready sweetie", he said.
Malia walked out and Sika followed. Roman rubbed his face with his hands. How could he not remember what happened?
Everyone arrived at the courthouse. Roman noticed Amaya with her family. He walked over.
"Hey, you made it", he smiled.
She noticed he looked tired.
"You ok?", she asked.
He nodded.
"You look sick Reigns", Phil said.
Roman swallowed. He felt hot. Amaya placed her hands against his cheeks and forehead.
"Roman, maybe you should have your lawyer postpone today. You don't look so good", Amaya suggested.
"I can't. The sooner I get this over with, the sooner I'll have my baby girl home", he said.
Amaya sighed and nodded. They walked into the court room, Roman took Amaya's hand. Valerie glared at her.
"Someone's not happy you're here", April whispered to her.
Amaya sighed. Roman let her hand go and went to sit beside his lawyer. The judge came out and was about to start when she noticed Roman didn't look well.
"Mr. Reigns, I believe you might be sick", she said.
"I'm fine", he said.
She shook her head no.
"You need to get yourself better if you plan to fight for your child", the judge said.
She looked at everyone.
"Postponed till next week", she said.
Valerie wasn't happy about that. She stomped over to him.
"Are you fucking kidding me", she shouted.
Roman places a hand to his head.
"How could you bring her here?", she shouted.
"Stop screaming", Roman said calmly.
"I'm allowed to yell, you brought that whore here", she yelled.
"Watch your language", the judge yelled.
She had seen what Valerie was doing and saying. Amaya stood and went over to Roman.
"Lets get you home", she whispered to him.
Valerie took Amaya's arm and turned her.
"This is all your fault you stupid bitch. You just couldn't keep your legs closed and then you had to go and get pregnant with that mistake of a child. You took everything from me", Valerie yelled.
"I don't have time for this. He's sick and I have a child at home waiting on us. Step back Valerie because I won't be responsible for what I do if you put your hands on me again", Amaya warned.
Valerie was going to slap Amaya, April caught her hand.
"Don't touch my little sister", April warned.
"Control your client", the judge yelled at Valerie's lawyer.
"This isn't going to help your case", he said to her.
"Don't worry, I know Autumn is staying with me. I made sure of it", Valerie said to him.
She walked away from them and Amaya bent down to check on Roman.
"Hey, Rome, can you stand?", Amaya asked.
He nodded and stood. They took him home and Amaya sent him straight to bed.
"Something is really wrong with him. Last night when we came over, he was acting so strange. He said things he wouldn't normally say", his mom said.
"I think he might have been drunk. Probably walked to a bar", his dad said.
"He's drinking again?", Amaya asked.
"He told you about that?", his mom asked.
Amaya nodded.
"You should stay with him Amaya", her mom said.
"You should. We've got Malia", his mom said.
Amaya nodded and looked at his dad. He nodded too. She walked into Roman's room and laid beside him. He opened his eyes a little.
"Welcome home", he said softly, before falling asleep again.
