Falling In Love With The Enemy
Part 9: Surprise At The Park
Purpledolpin05: I'm back with another one-shot for this super cute forbidden love couple, with a bit of January and Riker, so I decided to make this one-shot. Shout outs to the reviewers.
To The Dreamer With A Passion: Thanks for the review, yeah Roman will always be Tracy's hero, and I do not trust the Elite Force on childcare, Kaz is most likely to CHEAT in a relationship anyway. Hope you will like this chapter.
To The Malaysian Dream: Thanks for the review, yeah Rocy is the cutest.
To Guest (V.A): Thanks for the review, I love writing for Roman's other side of which no one really explores. I am always intrigued by the villains' side of the story as well, haha maybe it's telepathy? XD Hhm I will write for Riker soon I like him and he definitely approves Rocy since he wants his brother and his soulmate to be happy. (it's ok I will draw a Rocy fanart someday soon), if you like Roman/Tracy you might be breaking feels at "Judgement Day" (Still in progress of working on another chapter) or you'd be interested in Rodissiuss/Rina stories (see A Reason To Be Evil for my version for Rodissiuss' side of the story). Hope you will like this chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything but my Original Characters. Enjoy.
Songs to listen while reading: Quiet by LIGHTS, The Wolf That Fell In Love With Red Riding Hood English cover by SirHamnet, Dear Theodosia from Hamilton the Musical (for cutesy Roman and January bonding)
It was a rare occasion but for once Tracy actually got up earlier than her friends. She decided to take her day off (since it was a Sunday) to go out to the park.
She quickly wrote a note and left it taped onto the fridge.
'Hey guys, I'm going to the park for a walk. Be back later. Lunch is in the fridge, just microwave it later. -Tracy'
Tracy changed into a white hooded shirt she got with some black jeans, and her usual purple sneakers. She was about to head out when she spotted a toddler awake.
"Cece?" It was the youngest toddler, January (formerly known as S-100), called out.
"Morning January, didn't expect you to wake up this early?" Tracy kneeled down to her goddaughter, well not legally but she practically raised the toddler.
"Couldn't sleep, I had a scawy dweam." January sniffled a bit.
"Hey, don't worry it was just a dream, I'm going to the park, do you want to follow?" Tracy thought for a while before asking.
"Really? Yay!" January cheered.
"Let's get you changed up, ok?" Tracy lead the toddler to the bathroom and helped her brush her teeth and change up.
January is now wearing an old sweater that belonged to Chloe but it fits her like a gown, with some squeaky shoes (hand me downs).
"You look so cute, you look just like a little doll!" Tracy squealed a bit, before holding the toddler's hand. "Let's go to the park."
"Ok!" January broke into a toothy grin.
Tracy suddenly added another line for her note.
'PS, January is following me to the park'
Meantime…
Roman and Riker got up earlier than their family members did. Ever since Bree had electrocuted their father, it was clear enough that Bree was the second to be killed person of their list, the first one was Kaz (because Kaz insulted their father and almost killed their baby brother Ricky.
"It's been a while since we've jog around here together, huh Ro?" Riker turned to Roman.
"Yeah," Roman nodded with a smile. It has been a while since he has been able to go out in public not undercover as a crow.
"So, how are things going on with you and your girlfriend?" Riker asked when Roman was taking a sip of the can coffee he got. Roman quickly spilt out his coffee.
"W-What?" Roman blushed red in denial.
"I found some of the letters you've been exchanging with her." Riker snickered.
"W-What?! Who else knows about this?" Roman frowned.
"Pretty much just me, and Reese, and the triplets, and the twins' (Remus, Romulus, Rainey and Ranger), and Ricky, and AJ." Riker looked away awkwardly, listing the people who have known about Roman's relationship.
"So basically everyone?" Roman raised his eyebrows as Riker nodded guiltily. "Does dad know?!"
"Well not really but I can tell he is getting hints of you getting a girlfriend." Riker snickered.
Roman suddenly spotted Tracy walking to the park.
Wait, who was the toddler beside her?
"What are you looking at?" Riker asked, following Roman's gaze. "Oh sweet, your girlfriend is here."
Tracy was walking with January while humming Dear Theodosia to the toddler but she changed a bit of the lyrics.
"Oh January, when you smile you lit up my world, my girl. Look at my girl, pride isn't the word I'm looking for, there is so much more inside me now. Oh January, you outshine the entire world, my girl. And when you smile, I fall apart and I thought I was so smart." Tracy smiled as she sang to January, for some reason this song has been pretty effective on January to get her to sleep lately.
"Tracy? Is that you?" Roman walked over.
"R-Roman?" Tracy yelped a bit.
"Who's he?" January eyed Roman suspiciously.
"He's my uh…" Tracy stammered, before confessing, "he's kinda like my boyfriend."
"Oh, like how Doyiee is to me?" January asked.
"Yeah, in a way." Tracy giggled a bit.
"Who's she?" Riker asked, before putting two unrealted dots together, he gasped in shock, "Roman, is THIS why you never told anyone you are dating? Because you secretly have a baby I never knew of?! I'M AN UNCLE!"
"No. we just met." Roman claimed. "I've never even laid a finger on her (Tracy)."
"That's what happens after every one-night stand." Riker muttered under his breath.
"Riker, be careful, this is a public area and there is a child present." Roman warned as Riker zipped his mouth.
"Cece, what's a one-nine stamp?" January asked.
"Uh pay no attention to Uncle Riker." Tracy yelped, blushing immediately.
"Uncle Riker?" Riker seemed overjoyed to be called an uncle, before kneeling over, "Hey kid, wanna go and play on the swings?"
"YEAH!" January eagerly accepted the offer before dragging Riker to the playground with her tiny hands.
"So that's January? She's such a cute kid." Roman smiled, watching Riker play with the toddler. In which taking care of a baby meant scoring more girls for Riker.
"Yeah, she is, ain't she?" Tracy giggled, crossing her arms as she leaned against a tree.
"So, is she really your uh…?" Roman wanted to ask if Tracy was related to January.
"Oh, heavens no, she's just a kid Krane adopted when she was a baby and the facility I was in was in charge of taking care of her, I immediately grew a fond attachment to her and I loved her like she as my own." Tracy giggled a bit, as she explained because Roman seemed pretty worried if Tracy ever dated anyone. Roman sighed a bit in relief.
"Wait, does the Elite Force know we're here?" Roman asked.
"I only told them I was heading to the park with January, and they usually won't wake up this early." Tracy shrugged as she explained.
"Yeah and it's not every day I get to meet up with you face to face." Roman nodded, giving her a boyish grin.
"I usually come by the park every now and then," Tracy stated, "I would usually just find a good bench and work on my assignments or edit Jaz videos without the others criticizing me barging into their love lives."
"Yeah well, I haven't come by this park ever since I accidentally killed off Crossbow," Roman admitted with guilt, Tracy quickly giggled. She knew where Crossbow was but vowed not to tell anything.
"Honestly, I felt bad for killing her, we used to be in high school together, but she was a few years older than me." Roman gave a bitter smile. He thought he was only meant to destroy just the hospital, he didn't know that he actually killed people in the process. Most of the world assumed he was a ruthless villain that showed no remorse of killing people, but in reality, Roman feels just as guilty of having to take away other people's lives.
"It's ok, we all have bad history. Not a lot of people know, but uh…" Tracy hesitated before whispering over, "I used to be an assassin for my previous Master, Victor Krane."
"So you used to help him 'finish off' his enemies?" Roman asked, not wanting to offend or hurt Tracy.
"Yeah, but I was under control by something called the Triton App, which causes us to be brainwashed and mind-controlled, I was forced to hurt innocent people, I still feel bad about it." Tracy sighed.
"Look, it wasn't your fault. You were being controlled." Roman assured her, before smiling at her.
"Yeah but at least your dad cares about you, Krane just mistreats us." Tracy chuckled weakly, gazing at January playing with Riker. "But I think he probably has a rough past which is why he is so messed up."
"I guess so." Roman thought as he smiled over.
"CECE!" January squealed as she rushed over to hug the older teen.
"January," Tracy smiled, holding the toddler in her arms. "Would you like to shake hands with Roman?"
January glanced at Roman before she nodded. Roman held Janaury in his arms before January smiled at the man.
"She's usually scared of strangers, guess she likes you." Tracy giggled.
"She kinda looks like you two," Riker pointed out with a cheeky grin.
"Psh whaaaaat?" Roman and Tracy quickly blushed and denied.
"Look at her, she's got Tracy's face, Roman's hair and smile." Riker stated, holding January between the couple.
"Uh I am very sure January is not related to me." Tracy blinked.
"C'mon, Riker, you have been watching too much tv." Roman frowned as Riker laughed.
"Papa!" January pointed at Roman.
Tracy and Roman quickly looked at each other.
"January, he's not really your papa." Tracy explained.
"He's not?" January's bottom lip quivered a bit, giving a really cute but sad face.
"Don't worry kid, when Cece marries Roman here, he will be your papa." Riker nodded as he assured the toddler.
"Riker!" Tracy and Roman hissed over, slapping his shoulder.
January just looked at her new uncle and "Papa" before she giggled happily.
"Oh no, we should get back," Tracy checked the time after a while. "I'm so sorry but I have to get her back, she's got a playdate this noon with the dentist, Dr. Friedman's son Doy."
"DOYIEE!" January quickly squealed happily. Roman just assumed this kid must be a baby January's age.
"Ok say goodbye to Roman and Riker." Tracy told the toddler.
"Bye Uncle Riker, bye Papa Roman" January quickly waved happily as she followed her godmother back home.
Papa Roman, huh? Roman thought, feeling more than a sense of pride after meeting the toddler. I could get used to that.
Purpledolpin05: AWWW, that was some super cute uncle-niece, godfather-goddaughter bonding moment, huh? I've been dying to work on a chapter with Roman meeting January. For now, Roman assumed that Doy (from GMW, I ship him with January too much) is a kid January's age when in reality the boy is about 7 years old. (This happened a while before the Fathers' Day one shot) so yeah, I added some cutesy Rocy moment of which they both told each other a bit of their dark past.
In my view, I think Roman and Riker only meant to destroy JUST the hospital, never knowing that they would kill off people living in it. Kinda like Jason Dean from Heathers, I do not think he meant to kill Heather Chandler, he assumed it would just poison and give her bad diarrhea but never sure it would kill her. But hey this is just a fangirl's theory. Both Tracy and Roman had their rough past but they would actually accept each other's flaws and respect each other as equals.
Jones: All else goes to worse, if Tracy goes to the dark side I can see Roman/Tracy's favorite couple activity as "Murder" and "Mass Slaughter". [Me: …]
