Chapter 19 – Surprises.

Roman grabbed a Kleenex, and dried her tears.

They heard Sika and Patty, ask where Machelle Reigns was.

A nurse pointed to the curtained room.

"OMG Machelle, are you okay?" Patty said, coming through the curtain and grabbed her hand. "What happened?"

Machelle, repeated the story.

"We will help you out." Sika said, and shook his head.

He knew what Machelle was like, she was stubborn. She liked to do things herself.

He also knew that was why Roman, loved her so much.

Carla was much more needy, and liked Roman to do things for her.

After Lily was born, it got worse. That's why, they didn't make it.

"Yes we will. At least until the day before the party. I have plans, to get my hair done." Patty said and pressed her lips together. "Oops, I wasn't supposed to say I knew."

"How did you know about that?" Machelle and Roman said together.

Both of them looking at Sika, who shook his head and put his hands up in the air.

"You should know you can't keep secrets from your mother, Roman Joseph Reigns." Patty smiled. "I know everything."

"Alright, How much do you know?" Machelle asked. "Who told you?"

Then the Nurse came in.

Patty, Sika, and Roman waited in the hallway, while the Nurse fitted her with a boot.

"You my dear can go home. Only light pressure, no walking. Which means you can only take it off at night, when you sleep and to ice it." The nurse said, then smiled. "Here is the number of Dr. Brown. The emergency doctor, has talked to him. He said to call his office tomorrow morning and make an appointment, for two weeks from now. He will make the decision, if it needs to have surgery. Good luck."

"Thank you, for all you guys did." Machelle smiled.

The nurse smiled, and then she left.

Roman came in two seconds later, with a wheelchair.

As Roman wheeled her out, he told her that George and Seth had taken the boys home.

Sika and Patty, were just getting the car.

"So, Mom knows everything about the party." Roman said. "My Aunt Selma let it slip, that she was coming to town."

"That sucks, your Mom knows about the party." Machelle smiled. "Good thing, your Dad and I saved a couple surprises for later."

Once outside Machelle, got out of the chair and sat down on a bench.

Roman, looked at her, with a smile on his face.

"What surprises, are you talking about?" Roman asked.

"Don't worry about it." Machelle smiled. "I will tell you later, I don't want anything to spoil this surprise."

"I knew I married you, for a reason." Roman said and kissed her. "You, keep me on my toes."

Sika and Patty pulled up to the Emergency doors, a few minutes later.

Roman, helped Machelle into the back of the van. Then he put the wheelchair back.

On the way home Sika stopped off at the pharmacy, to fill Machelle's prescription.

Roman and Patty went inside.

"Have they called you, yet?" Machelle asked Sika. "Did they get the tickets?"

"Yes they have, and it is a go." Sika looked into the rear view mirror, and smiled. "You sure, you still want to do this, I mean with you hurt and being pregnant and all?"

"Are you kidding? I have planned this, for three months." Machelle said then stopped, and Sika smiled. "I mean We have planned this. I may be hurt but, I am so looking forward to this. It will be worth it in the end, seeing you and Patty happy. Not to mention, meeting all your family."

"You are so amazing Machelle, you have a good heart." Sika smiled. "Summer and Vanessa told me to tell you, they will help out as much as possible with the boys. Patty and I, will help as much as you want us to."

"I'm not worried about that, Sika. I love that the boys, get to see you and Patty. I'm more worried about you two, than anything else. I know you guys get tired, chasing them around." Machelle said. "I can still walk, it will just be with a waddle and a limp. It may take me a little bit longer but, it will get done. Besides, I got my list done. We just have to figure out, the menu. Any requests? The girls and I, are going to finalize it tomorrow."

"I will go in your place. The doctor told you to rest, and that is what you are going to do." Sika said very serious, then smiled. "I know you can't have seafood but, I would like some. I know your strong like Ox, stubborn like Bull and have a heart of Gold. You just rest, alright?"

Machelle smiled, at Sika.

"Okay, that will work. I promise, I will rest then." Machelle said smiling. "Good Promo by the way, maybe I should use that."

Before Sika could answer Machelle, the back door flew open.

"What are you two laughing for?" Roman asked, opening the back door and got in beside Machelle.

"Nothing, we were just chatting." Sika said and started the car up, when Patty sat down in the car.

"We got some more Peas, for you Machelle. We also got some bandages, to put over your stitches. So they won't get wet, when you have a shower." Patty smiled, then looked at Sika. "I also got some peas, for your knee."

"Good then when I get hungry while I'm watching TV, I can have them as a snack." Sika said laughing. "Better than that yucky stuff, you give me for snacking on."

"You, need that yucky stuff to snack on. Or you would eat junk food, all night." Patty said and shook her head.

Then she smiled, when Roman and Machelle started laughing.

As they were driving down Machelle and Roman's street, they saw George just walking into his house.

"I think we should invite them to a BBQ, one night." Machelle said. "They really are, great neighbours."

"I agree." Roman said and nodded. "I'll ask him. Maybe when Dean and Sherri get home, we can have one."

Sika pulled up as close to the front door, as possible.

Roman and Sika tried to help her in the house but, Machelle swatted and shooed them away.

"I can walk still, I can do this." Machelle said.

Sika smiled, and shook his head. He made sure Roman was right beside her, just in case.

Machelle walked into the house, and went and sat down on the couch.

Then Roman went into the kitchen, and turned the kettle on.

"Mommy, are you okay?" Jake asked, running into the living room. "What did they do to your foot?"

Both of the boy's ran and gave her a hug, like they hadn't seen her for ages.

Machelle was glad she was sitting down, or she would of been on her ass the way the boy's were running towards her.

"Does it feel better?" JJ said after he hugged her. "Are the babies, okay?"

"I'm fine, you two. Yes, JJ the babies are fine." Machelle smiled, and kissed the top of each of their heads. "I have to wear this for awhile but, I will be fine. You two should be in bed. Were you good for Uncle Seth, and George?"

Seth walked into the kitchen, and stood beside Roman and Sika.

"Sorry Roman, they wouldn't go to bed until you guys got home. Jake had a crying fit, and got JJ started. I tried to calm them but, nothing worked. So, I caved and let them stay up." Seth said. "We were just watching a movie, until you guys came home."

"It's okay Seth." Roman smiled. "I had a feeling, they wouldn't want to go to bed."

"You think you can entertain your Mom tomorrow, Roman?" Sika said. "I am going to take Machelle's place, with your sister's. We are going to get the menu, finalized."

"No problem, Dad. I was going to call Summer, and tell her Machelle wasn't going with them." Roman said. "Doctor told her no walking, and that is what I am going to try and do. You notice I said Try?"

Sika smiled and then Roman went into the living room, and handed Patty and Machelle some tea.

"JJ, Jake give everyone hugs it's time for you two to be in bed." Roman said. "We will see Uncle Seth, Papa and Mo Ma, tomorrow."

Roman took the boys upstairs, after they did what he had asked.

"Vera said, Ares is with her and Katie." Seth said, sitting down on the couch with everyone else. "George, just went to go get him."

Just as Roman was coming down the stairs, George and Ares showed up at the door.

"I hope this did him good." Machelle said. "He really is a great d-"

Just as she was going to say something, Ares came in and started to freak out. But, it didn't last very long.

Machelle, just ignored him until he calmed down. Then she patted him, and he laid down beside her and El Torrito.

"Derek, sent a note and some instructions for Sherri and Dean. I see you already knew what to do, Machelle." George said, and handed it to Seth. "Vera said she wants to keep him, now that he has calmed down. He sat with Katie, and watched cartoons with her."

"Thanks again, George." Roman smiled. "Are you guys busy on Saturday night? We would like to say thanks by having you guys over, for a BBQ."

"I will call you after I ask the boss, Meaning my wife." George said, and started laughing. "I think, we are free though."

"Good Idea, for asking." Roman said and handed Seth a beer. "Do you want a beer?"

"No sorry, maybe next time. I have a date with Katie tonight. It's my turn, to read her a story." George smiled. "I'm already late as it is but, at least she's not mad at me. This was a good excuse, I'll call you tomorrow wit an answer."

Roman smiled, and walked George out.

Sika and Patty, left a few minutes later.

Seth, Roman and Machelle were just talking, in the living room.

"Dad is going with Summer and Vanessa, tomorrow. So, Mom is coming to help with the boys." Roman said. "What is this big surprise you have?"

"I know he is. The girls and I were supposed to go to the venue, and get the menu settled. There are two surprises, for the party. Your Dad has always wanted to go back to visit Samoa but, something always came up. So, Summer arranged for them to fly there, for their trip. Your Aunt Tao, is coming for the party and they will fly back with her." Machelle said. "They stay there for a week, then fly to Hawaii for a week. The second surprise is your Mom's Sister Valentina and her family, are coming from Italy. We kind of turned it, into a family reunion."

"Holy Shit, this is going to be really great." Roman said and smiled. "Dad hasn't been back in years, he always talked about it though. Aunt Val hasn't been out of Italy. Mom has been there to see her but, she has never come to Florida. So, that is a huge surprise."

"That's what Summer said." Machelle smiled. "Your Dad, knows everything. He helped plan, and get all of them here."

Machelle got up and put her peas back in the freezer, then went to the washroom.

"Well, what can we help with then?" Seth said, when she came back out. "Besides the guest house. I have three days off and am willing to help with this. Roman's Mom and Dad, are great people. That and I wanna help with something. I know I haven't been around a lot, like I was before. So, Use me."

Machelle Laughed, as did Roman.

"I'm not sure yet, Seth." Machelle said smiling. "Wait until the girls get here, tomorrow. Summer and Vanessa, are in charge of this. I just had a small part, in this."

"What was your part?" Seth asked.

"Arranging for a big enough venue, for the party." Machelle smiled. "We could of had it here but, thanks to Cynthia. The lady, who did Dean and Sherri's wedding. That part is done, we just have to finalize all the food."

"How's the foot, now?" Roman said.

"Better but, I'm getting tired." Machelle said. "So, I think I will hop on up to bed. Let you guys, catch up."

Roman was going to help her upstairs but, Machelle said she was fine.

Seth and Roman sat outside for a couple more hours, just catching up on things.

The next day Roman and Seth, tried to clean the guest house.

They got the boys to help, kind of. All the boys wanted to do, was play fight with Daddy and Uncle Seth.

When Patty came she took the boys with her, she was meeting Alma for some lunch and shopping.

Patty knew that Sika was doing something with the girls for the party but, she didn't know what. She didn't really care, she loved surprises anyway.

Machelle came down to talk with them but, Sika went to the venue.

She was kind of glad he went with them. She knew he wanted to be more involved with the party. After all, it was for him and Patty.

They arranged to meet Cynthia at the Venue for a taste test, to finalize everything.

They had all decided, on a Hawaiian theme.

The menu included food such as poi, Roasted pig, Char Broiled Red Snapper with grilled Pineapple, salmon, beer and of course the Seafood, Sika had wanted.

There would also be entertainment, such as traditional Hawaiian music and hula dancers.

On the way back to Machelle's, they talked about how they were going to keep the two guests hidden.

It was decided that Tao would stay with Summer, and her family.

Val would stay with Vanessa. As Val didn't know a lot of English, and Vanessa's Husband was Italian. So, it was a great fit.

Matt, Mandy and their kids, would be staying with Machelle and Roman.

Patty knew they were coming so, that wouldn't ruin anything.

The girls, dropped Sika off at Roman and Machelle's house.

Patty, Machelle and the boys were out on the patio.

Patty was watering the flowers and JJ and Jake, were running around play fighting with each other.

"Jake make sure you don't hurt your brother, Please." Machelle said, and poured herself and patty some more ice tea."I really don't want to go to the hospital, again."

"Okay Mommy." Jake said.

Right as he turned around, JJ came and threw him to the ground with a tackle of his own.

It was almost like Roman's spear, and looked just as hard.

Jake hit the ground, with a thud.

Machelle, watched as his head bounced off the grass. She jumped up, then she heard Jake laughing.

"For crying out loud JJ, what did I just say?" Machelle said. She really didn't want to ruin their fun but, didn't want either one to get hurt either. "I said, be careful."

"Boy's will be boy's, Machelle." Sika said and walked outside.

He pulled out a chair at the table, and sat down. "Okay you two, slow down before you give your Mom and Mo Ma a heart attack."

"Okay Papa." Both boy's said together. Then proceeded to play fight again.

"Was Roman and Matt like this?" Machelle asked. "This goes on everyday, with them."

"Not really, Matt was 15, when Roman was born." Patty said. "Matt didn't want anything to do with him. Matt was more into his friends, and playing football. Roman did this, with Jimmy and Jey though. They were always in trouble."

Patty smiled at all the memories.

"I agree, hell did break out, when those three got together." Sika smiled.

"Papa, that is a bad word." JJ said, with his hands on his hips.

Sika just laughed.

Roman and Seth came out of the house, they had just got back from grabbing something for dinner.

"Daddy, Papa said a bad word." JJ said, running up to Roman.

"You are such a little tattle tail, JJ." Sika smiled and grabbed him, before he reached his Dad.

JJ wiggled and giggled, as Sika tickled him.

Jake, just sat beside Machelle and laughed.

"We have chicken to grill, anyone hungry?" Seth said and pulled a chair out.

Roman turned the BBQ on. Then came and put Jake on his lap, and put his arm around Machelle.

JJ and Jake yelled 'Yes' and everyone laughed.

Like any child that was young and growing, they loved their food and were always hungry.

When the BBQ was ready, they put the chicken on.

Patty and Machelle made a salad, and put some water on for corn on the cob.

When everything was ready, they sat down and ate.

Machelle got up in the middle of the night. She couldn't sleep, and went down stairs.

Roman, came down the stairs looking for her about 30 minutes later.

He saw her standing in the middle of the room, with her hands on her hips.

"For someone who is supposed to be resting, your not doing very good." Roman said, coming into the living room. "Why the hell, did you move my chair?"

"Do you like it here?" Machelle smiled, and batted her eyes. "I don't know if, I do. I thought we needed a change, that's why I moved it."

Roman just rolled his eyes, and smiled.

He went into the kitchen, to make himself a coffee.

Machelle followed him.

"I know I'm in trouble, so give me shit." Machelle said, then kissed the back of his shoulder. "I couldn't sleep, so I came down here. So, I wouldn't wake you."

"I'm not saying a thing. I know you are nesting now, this happened the last time." Roman said and smiled. He turned around, and hugged her. Machelle, rested her head on his chest. "At least you put the boot on, that was a very good start."

"I'm sorry. I promise, I will try to be good for the rest of the day." Machelle said and looked up at him. "After I move your chair back, to where it was. Or if you like it, can you move the TV for me?"

Roman smiled and kissed her.

"Just kidding." Machelle smiled. "I like it the way it was. Once I moved it, I wished I left it alone. That's why I was standing in the middle, of the room. I was trying to decide if I liked it but, I don't."

"I agree." Roman smiled.

Roman moved the chair back to where it was, and they both went back up stairs to bed.

"Why couldn't you sleep?" Roman asked. "You didn't have a nap yesterday."

"It was nothing, it was just a stupid dream." Machelle said. "Nothing to worry about."

Machelle cuddled up close to him, and laid her head on his shoulder. She fell asleep, almost right away.

A couple hours later, Seth called Roman and asked him if he could take the boys for the day.

He had seen a flier for the circus, and thought the boys would love it.

Roman thought it was a great idea, and of course said he could.

Seth and Roman, got the boys settled in Machelle's car.

"You boys be good for Uncle Seth." Roman said. "You listen to Seth and hold his hand, Okay?"

Both boys, nodded their heads.

"When is Uncle Dean coming back?" Jake asked.

"Uncle Dean, comes home tomorrow." Roman said. "Give Uncle Seth a chance, okay."

"Hey, I can look after you too, you know." Seth said. "Do we not have fun, when we go out?"

Jake and JJ looked at Roman, who just smiled.

"Yes, we do have fun Uncle Seth." Jake said, after letting Seth sweat it out a bit.

"We just miss Uncle Dean, that's all." JJ said.

Roman closed the car door, so the boys couldn't hear what they were talking about.

"It's nothing personal Seth but, you haven't been around much." Roman said. "They do have fun with you but, they don't remember all the things you do with them. Dean is always here, so they have fun with him more."

"Okay, I get it." Seth said. "I promise, I will be here more often. I am their Uncle to, you know."

"I know you are, Seth." Roman smiled. "Dean lives closer, and sees them all the time. Now, even more that he is married to Sherri."

"Like I said, that is going to stop." Seth said and got in the car, and started it up.

Seth, had just left the driveway when.

"Uncle Seth, where are we going?" Jake asked.

"It's a surprise but, I will give you a hint." Seth said and smiled at them, in the rear view mirror. "There are animals but, you can't pet them. They will do tricks for us, for peanuts."

JJ looked at Jake, and smiled.

"Daddy said, you are taking us to a place that we watched about last night." JJ said. "My guess, is we are going to see Dumbo."

Seth smiled.

"No, it's the circus JJ." Jake said. "Right, Uncle Seth?"

"You guys are so smart." Seth said. "Yes, we are going to see the circus. We will see clowns, tigers-"

Before Seth could finish, both the boys yelled 'Elephants' at the same time and started to laugh.

Even Seth, couldn't help but smile.

When they got closer, Seth's smile went away.

"Oh Crap." Seth said. "I don't think the circus starts, until tomorrow. Hold on I will find something for us to do."

Seth pulled onto the side of the road and looked up things to do on his phone.

"Uncle Seth, it's okay if we can't find any animals." Jake said.

"Don't you be Sad." Seth said, in his best New Day voice. Both the boys laughed, as did Seth. "As we can find, something to do that we can have fun at."

Both the boys, nodded their heads.

Once Seth found something to do, he did a U turn in the middle of the road.

Just as Seth started to go down the road, he heard a siren.

"Shit." Seth said under his breath, not thinking either one of the boys heard it.

"Uncle Seth, that is a really bad word." Jake said.

"I said Shoot, Jake. That is not a bad word." Seth said as he pulled over to the shoulder of the road.

"You said Shit, Uncle Seth." JJ said giggling.

"Alright you smartie pants, I did. But, you weren't meant to hear it." Seth said trying not to smile. He pulled his wallet out, and looked in the glove box for the registration. "You, are way to young to say those words. You better not say that in front of your, Mom and Dad. They will wash your mouth out, with soap and water."

"Uncle Dean, says that all the time. He gives us money, if we don't tell Mommy." JJ said. "Auntie Sherri says Shit too but, tells us not to tell Mommy."

Seth had rolled the window down, and the officer walked up to the now open window.

"I'm sorry officer, I know I did a U turn." Seth said. "We were going to the Circus but, it isn't here. I guess it starts tomorrow."

"Uncle Seth, also said a really bad word." JJ said from the back seat. "He said Shit, and Mommy is going to be really mad and kick his butt."

Seth, rubbed his hands over his face, again trying not to smile.

He was thinking Machelle would kick his ass, for teaching the boys how to swear.

"He did, did he." The officer said.

"JJ, your not helping me here." Seth said.

"I tell you what, I won't give your Uncle Seth a ticket, if I can get his autograph." The officer smiled at Seth. "But you two can't tell your Mommy he swore, Deal?"

"Okay, but he did say it." JJ smiled at the officer.

"I bet he did." The officer said, and smiled at the two boys. He turned to look at Seth. "I actually, didn't see you do the U turn. I only saw you when you looked out the window, and pulled onto the road. My son, loves wrestling. That's why I pulled you over, hoping to get an autograph for him."

Seth smiled and blew a breath out.

"That's okay. It will be the last one, I give for a long time." Seth said smiling. "That deal you made with these boys, won't fly. They will blow the secret to both their parents, they are three you know. There Mom will kill me, for teaching them bad words."

"You want to get a restraining order, for her?" The Officer said, and then smiled.

Seth smiled and shook his head.

"By the way, the Circus was last week. But, they have a great jungle gym about 5 minutes down the road." The Officer said. "My son, loves it there. Thank you for the autograph, my son will be so happy. He loves Dean but, he loved The Shield to. It's to bad, they broke you guys up."

"How about you give me a card. I will leave you 4 tickets, at the box office." Seth said. "We have a show, at the arena next week."

"Thank you. My son will be so, happy." The Officer said, and handed him a card, then went back to his car and drove off.

"Okay boys, a change of plans." Seth said turning around in the seat. "Sorry, looks like we missed the circus. How about we go to say, Go Bananas instead?"

"YEAH" Both boys yelled.

Seth nodded and started the car up.
