So I tried to fit a lot into this chapter. I have a few ideas of where I could go from here so I need you to tell me where you would like to see it go please!:)

At 10 am the next morning someone knocked on the door. I went to get it and Roman was standing there with a few more suitcases.

"Here's the rest of your stuff."

"Thanks.."

"Yup. Jess wants to say goodbye to both of you before you leave." Roman said as Seth walked up.

"How did you know I was leaving too?" I questioned.

"Hunter called to ask if I would be returning with you."

"Oh."

"Have fun." he said turning and walking away down the hall way. I looked back at Seth then back to the door and ran out of it after Roman. "Roman wait."

"Why?"

"We should talk."

"I have nothing to say to you." he said getting in the elevator and leaving. I let out a deep breath and walked back to the hotel room.

"Hey Rox, I called the moving company and told them to move your stuff into my house okay?"

"Yeah thanks Seth."

"Are you ready to leave tonight?" he asked looking up at me from packing his things up.

"More than ready. We're saying good bye to Jess right?" I asked walking over and sitting on the bed looking at him.

"Of course."

"Good. Roman will hear what I have to say one way or another."

We got to Roman's house later that evening to say good bye to Jess before we caught our plane. We saw Jess looking for us through the window and when we finally stepped out the car she smiled and ran from the window. I barely turned around from shutting my door and she was jumping up and luckily I caught her.

"Hey beautiful!" I said hugging her.

"Hi Rox. Hi Uncle Seth."

"Hey Jessica." Seth said smiling.

"I thought you weren't going to come." she said after I put her down grabbing my and Seth's hand.

"We wouldn't leave without saying good bye sweetie." I said as she continued to pull us.

"Where we going Jess?" Seth asked.

"I got a present for you two." she said pulling us into the living room. As soon as we walked in Roman walked outside to the patio.

"Here you go." she said smiling proudly as she handed us both a drawing. Seth's was him as world champion and mine was me as divas champion.

"I love it! Thank you." I said bending down and hugging her.

"Are you still going to wear your bracelet?" She asked. I smiled holding up my wrist showing her I was wearing it right now.

"Always Jessica. Are you going to wear yours?"

"Forever" she answered what was written on her bracelet, I hugged her again and found myself getting teary eyed. "I'm going to miss you Jessica."

"I miss you too Rox." she said a few tears sliding down her face.

"Your dad and Uncle Dean have my number so anytime you want to talk tell them to call me okay?"

"Okay."

"I'm going to go talk to your dad real quick." I said getting up and leaving her and Seth alone.

"Roman we're going to talk." I said walking out onto the patio. He rolled his eyes.

"We have nothing to talk about. I said all I had to say."

"Right. YOU did, I didn't. It's my turn. For you to sit there and say I brought this psycho into your life when he was with Brittney is bull shit. She brought him into your life not me, or did you forget she cheated on you with him? I did nothing wrong."

"Rox."

"No! I listened to you blame everything on me and say hurtful shit to me now you're going to shut up and let me talk!" I shouted interrupting him. Dean, who was sitting beside him, looked shocked.

"Now as I was saying. I have done nothing but be there for you and Jessica! I was the one who let you know back on tour what was going on behind your back. I was the one who helped make sure that little girl went no where! I was the one who sat there holding your daughter as she was crying over her mom wishing she didn't exist! I'm the one who cooked and cleaned for you while you fought for your daughter! I'm also the one who tried to walk away how many times because I was scared over what might happen? But who convinced me to stay? YOU! So you're full of shit. You, Dean and everyone else can blame me for what happened to Dean I blame myself. But if you think it's my fault with what happened to Brittney you're delusional! I tried to get back here and tell you and-" Roman went to speak trying to interrupt me "NO! I'm not finished yet! I tried to get back here and tell you but let me tell you something when you think something is going to happen to someone you love and care about you lose fucking common sense and don't think straight. And yes I could have done things differently, so could Seth but at the end of the day neither Seth or I laid our hands on Brittney! We didn't kill her we didn't have a hand in it so fuck you both for blaming us!" At this point Seth had walked outside telling Jessica to stay and watch tv. " You try to spout that for the long haul crap but as soon as something happens that hurts you, you turn and run. Now I understand completely that you are hurt by what happened to Brittney, but to flip the script and kick out two people who were there for you when Brittney was trying to screw you over is beyond fucking stupid and unfair. I tried my best to be an amazing girlfriend for you and a good person to have in Jessica's life. I tried to leave but you wouldn't let me. Now you're going to walk away and blame everything on me saying you regret me seriously? Then fine regret me but while you're putting me down don't forget I was the one building you up and trying to save your custody with your daughter. And you know what in honesty you both are fucking douche bags." I said pointing at Roman and Dean. "The sad thing is I loved you, I love you and you're the love of my life and you regret me. That actually really hurts Rome... But..fuck you for everything you said to me the other night." I said turning around to walk away. Roman looked down and Dean stood up.

"Rox wait." Dean called out.

"For what!? So you can let me know how much you hate me too? No! I know I've screwed up but I would never treat either of you how you both treated Seth and I the other day."

"If you can't see why you're wrong then it's pointless to talk to you." Dean scoffed.

"Did you not hear me just say I could have done things differently?! Are you deaf? I'm not perfect and I fucked up but neither of you are perfect either okay? Stop blaming me for what Aaron did to Brittney! It's not my fault she got with him okay?! I didn't kill her so fuck off. Both of you. Have a nice life. Bye." I said storming back through the house only to leave again and go back to the car.

"Well that sure was interesting." Seth said getting back in the car.

"I swear I didn't plan for it to go that way but when I saw him I just got so heated.."

"I understand."

"What took you so long?"

"I was just telling them that we told Jess if she wanted to talk to us that she could ask them to call us and told them bye."

"And that took super long apparently." I said, I was sitting in the car for at least 5 minutes.

"Roman wasn't listening. What you said really got to him. He was completely zoned."

"Let's just go okay?" I said turning up the radio.

Seth and I arrived in Colorado for Raw the next day. Seth's return was scheduled and everyone knew he was coming back but mine would clearly be a surprise. We drove to a hotel close to the Pepsi Center and I sat on the bed looking at my phone.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Texting Roman." I answered not looking at him.

"Saying what? You didn't get it all out back there?" he joked.

"Just that I know we ended on a horrible note and i do love him and care for him and I know the next week is going to be hard so if he needs me I'm here. I mean I figure Brittney's funeral will be within a week right?"

"Probably. You should text him."

"If he ignores it, it's going to hurt Seth."

"At least he'll know he has you." Seth said grabbing clothes and walking into the bathroom.

*Roman's POV*

I was sitting on the couch with Dean drinking beer and watching some stupid movie. My parents came and took Jessica for the next two days so I can get everything with Brittney planned and find a way to tell her. Suddenly my phone beeped letting me know I had a text message.

"Who's that?" Dean asked looking at me.

"It's Rox."

"What did she say?" he asked sitting straight up.

"Hey Roman, I don't know if you'll read this or just delete it but I just wanted to let you know even after everything we have both said I do love you and care for you. I know this is going to be rough on you so if you need anything let me know. I'm still here for you." I read to him.

"Are you going to respond?"

"Nah."

"Really? Not even an okay."

"I don't want to talk to her."

"Alright man." Dean said letting the topic drop and turning his attention back to the TV.

I sat there reading the text message over and over again. I know what I said to her was wrong but I still had the anger towards her. To be honest though, I scheduled Brittney's funeral for Thursday because I knew her and Seth would be back in town since it's their day off. I told myself it was for Jessica and it was but it was for me too. I didn't know how I was going to be that day and I wanted her there. I just didn't know if she was going to be there.

Wednesday morning I picked up Jessica and walked her to her bedroom.

"Baby girl I have something to tell you."

"Okay daddy."

"I don't know how to tell you this. Something happened. Something bad.. Sweetie...your mom passed away." Jessica just gave me a blank expression.

"Her funeral is tomorrow.. I'm sorry." I said reaching out to touch her arm and she jerked away.

"I want to see mommy!" She yelled crying and getting up from her bed running down the stairs. I got up and ran after her. Dean saw her crying and got up rushing over to her.

"Jessica. come here." he said trying to pull her into a hug.

"No! I want mommy!" she yelled hitting his hands when he tried to grab her.

"Baby girl I'm so sorry." I said as i leaned down and tried to grab her.

"Where is mommy?! Why did she leave?! I want mommy..." she cried harder.

"I know baby..i know you do. I wish I could bring her back for you."

"Is it my fault?" she asked

"No! None of this is your fault." I had no idea how to explain this to a child and I knew I was doing horrible at it.

"I want Rox..." she whimpered.

"Jess come here." I said grabbing her arm which she jerked away again.

"I don't want you, I want Rox!" that stung.. I'll admit it hurt.

"I'll call her okay?" Dean asked getting up and getting his phone when she nodded.

"Roman." I looked up after I heard Dean say my name. "Try calling her on your phone she didn't answer." I grabbed my phone from my pocket dialing her number hoping she would answer.

After a few rings I heard her say Hello out of breath.

"Did I interrupt something?"

"I just got back in my locker room from my match."

"Jess needs you. I'm putting her on."

"Okay." I handed the phone to Jessica who clung to it for dear life.

"Rox? Mommy is gone! I want her here. Are you coming back? When? I don't want daddy or Uncle Dean I want you!" Jessica yelled into the phone. I was dying to know what Rox was saying to her.

"You promise? Okay... okay I will. bye." Jessica handed the phone to me and went to the chair by the window just staring out of it.

"You still there?" I asked talking into the phone.

"Yeah. I told her Seth and I are leaving the building and driving to the airport right now and that the first stop will be to see her. Is that okay?"

"That's fine. See you later."

"Alright bye." I looked at Dean who had a sympathetic look on his face.

"Jess baby, do you want anything to eat or drink?" I asked walking up to her. She just shook her head with tears falling from her eyes.

A few hours later I saw Jessica get up and take off outside I quickly stood up and followed her when I noticed Seth and Rox pulling into the drive way. Rox got out and immediately picked up Jessica rubbing her hair down. I walked over to Seth who looked at me wary.

"Thanks for coming so fast." I said.

"I came for Jessica." He said walking past me over to Rox and Jess.

I watched as Jessica clung to Rox and heard heart wrenching sobs coming from my daughter. It broke my heart that I couldn't fix this for her and it hurt, even though I wouldn't admit it out loud, that she wanted Rox not me.

"Have you eaten yet?" Rox asked walking up to me still holding up Jess. I shook my head.

"Jess." she said pulling back a lil causing Jess to do the same thing and look at her. "You want some dinner? You should really eat even if you don't want to okay?" Jessica nodded her head. "What do you want to eat? Anything you want."

"Can we have meat lovers pizza? It was mommys favorite." Jessica said quietly laying her head on Rox's shoulder.

"Of course we can." Rox said.

"Let's go inside." I said leading the way.

Rox ordered the pizza and paid for both pizzas when they came. The whole time since Rox got here Jessica wouldn't leave her side. If Rox went to the kitchen to get something to drink Jessica was right there with her when we ate she was attached at the hip to Rox and when we finished eating she was cuddled up to Rox until she eventually fell asleep. Rox carried her to her room and kissed her on the forehead. Then walked back down the stairs.

"We should go now." Seth said as she nodded following him out of the house. I wanted to go after her and thank her but I didn't. I just let her walk out and leave with Seth.

*Rox's POV*

The whole time I was at Roman's I just wanted to hug him. He looked so broken and defeated I felt horrible. I know it hurt him that Jessica wanted me to be there instead. I wanted to ask how he was feeling but I didn't. I just felt like it wasn't appropriate to ask for some reason. This was the first time I can remember I felt uncomfortable and awkward around Roman and I hated it. I loved him and wanted to be there for him but I felt so out of place around him. Like I didn't belong there anymore.

"Roman just texted me." Seth announced walking into the guest bedroom that would act as my bedroom for the time being.

"Oh? Sayin what?"

"Her funeral is tomorrow at 10. That Jessica would probably want us there and it was up to us. Sent directions and everything."

"Should we go?"

"With how Jessica was? Yeah. We should." I nodded my head and laid down in bed.

"I guess we should get some sleep then. Night Seth."

"Night Rox."He said bending down kissing me on the forehead before walking back to his room.

The next day we got to the place the funeral was being held at and Jessica saw me right away and ran to me.

"Hey Jess." I said hugging her. I looked over her shoulder and saw Roman and Dean walking towards us.

"Hi Rome.." I said kind of quietly.

"Hello." He said acting like he was checking something on his phone.

"Hi Uncle Seth." Jessica said walking over to Seth and hugging his leg.

"Are you sitting with us?" Jessica asked standing by me holding my hand.

"No sweetheart we'll be in the back."

"But I want you with me..." she said.

"I'll still be here and I'll be with you after okay? You have your daddy." She nodded her head and walked up to Roman who stuck his hand out.

"It's about to start so we should get going." He said walking away with Dean and Jessica.

"I feel awkward..." I said looking at Seth.

"Me too Rox.." We walked in and sat in the very last row as her funeral started.

After her funeral me and Seth went and stood by the doors waiting for Jess to come out so we can be true to our word. She finally came out crying so hard. She walked up to me away from all her family and sat down on the ground sobbing. I sat down next to her moving the hair out of her face.

"Come here." I said grabbing her and picking her up and walking a little bit away with her. I noticed Roman was walking up to us but decided to do this anyway.

"Look right there, you see all the clouds?" Jessica nodded. "And you know at night when you see the stars?" she nodded again "That's your mom looking down on you smiling. She's always going to be here Jess."

"That cloud looks like a dragon.." she whispered. "Mommy loved Dragons.."

"That's your mom letting you know she's okay and loves you Jessica. Your mom is always going to be around you. Just like that."

"Is it okay to be sad?"

"Yes. It's okay and understandable. Just remember when you need a hug go to your dad. He loves you very much okay?"

"Okay." I felt her reaching over my shoulder and saw Roman there so I gave her to him.

"Ready to go back to Grandma and Grandpa's?"

"Is Rox coming?"

"No she's not baby sorry." Roman said kissing her cheek.

"Is Rox leaving me too?" she asked looking between Roman and I.

"Hey.. I'm always here for you, you know that. Just like our bracelets mean right? Always and Forever. I'm just a phone call away okay?"

"Okay.. I love you Rox." She said reaching out and hugging me while Roman still hung onto her.

"I love you too Jess."

Roman looked at me and I could tell he wanted to say something but he just shook his head and walked away. I walked to the car with Seth and felt someone staring at me. I turned around and saw Roman staring at me and look down to the ground. I got in the car and we drove off. Watching Roman the whole time as we left.
