Roman-
Brie had called to ask if we could go out to help unload the truck. They also stopped at Willa's hotel and got her things and checked out. I put Mya back in her car seat and she whined.
"That was quick, she's already a daddy's girl", Dean said.
I lifted her back out and took her out front. Willa smiled at me.
"Can't seem to put her down", she said.
"She doesn't let me", I said.
I handed Mya over to her and helped Dean take down the boxes and put them in the garage till we cleaned up the new baby room. We were taking down the crib when Joey arrived. He angrily got off of his car and stomped over to Willa. I stood in front of them.
"Watch yourself Mercury", I growled.
"You are seriously defending her after everything she put you through?", he asked angry.
"He's been doing that since they were kids. Dean, remember that one time Heath tried to hug Will in order to grab her boob on a dare and Roman grabbed him by the back of his neck and dragged him away", Brie said.
Dean nodded.
"Now he's even more protective since his daughter", Dean said.
Joey looked confused. I stepped back and wrapped my arm around Willa's waist. Joey noticed Mya and sighed.
"Sure she's yours?", Joey asked.
I dropped my hand from around Willa and stepped towards Joey.
"Roman don't, he's just messing around", Willa said, placing her hand on my arm.
"Can I see her?", Joey asked.
Willa nodded.
"Can you call him off?", Joey asked, pointing at me.
I rolled my eyes. Willa rubbed my arm and I looked at her.
"It's okay", she said.
She handed Mya over to Joey and he chuckled. He looked back at Willa.
"I'm really pissed at you, you don't know how bad he was", Joey said.
"Everyone is over exaggerating", I said.
Dean and Brie huffed. I glared at them.
"Really?", Joey asked.
Willa glanced at me and I looked away.
"So you didn't drink yourself to sleep most nights? You didn't almost kill yourself every day at the gym? You didn't stop eating? You were depressed Roman, Dean and I had to force you to eat. We had to drag you out of the gym. I stood by you as you lifted weight after weight, you could have hurt yourself", I cut him off.
"Okay I think she gets it", I yelled.
Willa and Mya jumped. Joey tightened his grip on Mya to make her feel safe.
"Roman, I think we need to talk", Willa said.
I sighed, but I still couldn't look at her.
"Not now, I just want to enjoy my daughter. Can we just do that today?", I asked.
Willa nodded. We finished taking down the things and Willa handed me back my card. I pushed her hand back towards her.
"Ro", she said.
"Keep it", I said.
"Don't be mad at the amount I spent. Babies are expensive, I tried to find the cheapest and I'll pay you back", she said.
"It's okay, anything my baby girl needs she'll have. So don't think about paying me back", I said.
Willa nodded. I cupped her chin and made her look at me.
"Hungry?", I asked.
"I could eat", she said smiling.
I smirked, taking her hand in mine and we walked in. Joey handed Mya over to Dean, who smiled at her.
"Oh and I asked Brie to be her godmother, I know you're going to ask Dean", she said.
I nodded.
"There is no one I would trust more with her", I said.
"I ordered pizza and Chinese", Brie said.
"Sounds good", I said.
Willa-
After everyone left, I went over to the fridge. Case after case of beer inside, rotting left overs. I took them out and tossed them in the trash. Roman leaned on the counter.
"You don't have to do that", he said.
I sent him a look and he raised a brow.
"You can't be mad at me for drinking", he said.
"Drinking? By the way Joey described it, it sounded more like you would drown yourself in it", I said.
"I lost the love of my life, you can't blame me for feeling the way that I did", he said.
I shook my head.
"Did you miss me at all?", he asked.
I looked up at him.
"Of course I did, even more when I found out about Mya. I told myself that since I can't have you, at least I'll have a small part of you. Mya is more you than me and every time I looked at her beautiful face, I cried", I said.
"You never lost me babe, I was always here. I waited every day", he said.
"Then I remembered Rosa and how she was possibly carrying your child too and it hurt me even more", I said.
"When did you find out that she wasn't having my child?", he asked.
"I think five months after she and Rob revealed it. My mom found out first and told me", I said.
"You could have come home then", he said.
"I was afraid", I said.
"Of what Willa?", he asked frustrated.
"That I would come home and find you with someone else. That you would slam the door in my face", I said.
He opened his mouth to say something, but Mya whined. He shut it and went to her. I followed.
"She needs a diaper change", he said.
"Come on, I'll show you", I said.
I grabbed her a new diaper and wipes. I showed him and he nodded.
"It's pretty easy", I said.
"Easier said than done baby", he said to me.
I looked down at Mya and smiled. He leaned over and kissed my cheek.
"Thank you for her", he whispered.
He moved away and stood. I lifted Mya.
"I guess I should get her to bed. She has a one am wake up call and then another at five", I said.
"Can't wait", he said.
He locked up the house and followed me a few minutes later. He gently grabbed my elbow, stopping me.
"You sleeping in there or with me?", he asked.
I licked my lips.
"I think I should sleep in the other room for now, at least till we figure this out, between you and me, you know", I said.
He nodded.
"I'll leave my door open, just in case you need me", he said.
"Same here or just in case you get the urge to sneak a peek at her", I said.
He smiled.
"I have practice in the morning and then I'll be home. I can pick up something to eat for us. I haven't gone grocery shopping. Brie usually brings me some of what she made", he said.
"Please don't tell me you've ruined your diet for football season", I said.
He chuckled.
"I did with the alcohol", he said.
"Goodnight Roman", I said.
"Goodnight, my beautiful girls", he said.
I laid Mya with me. I set her in the middle of the bed surrounded by pillows while I changed. Coming out of the bathroom, Roman was laying beside her. He glanced at me.
"Sorry, I just couldn't help it", he said.
"It's okay, I know, I've been you", I said.
He smiled. He kissed her forehead.
"See you tomorrow princess", he whispered.
He stood and put his hands on my hips. I looked up at him. He leaned down and kissed me, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kept him close. He pulled away a bit.
"I'm glad you're home", he said.
He let go and walked out. I sighed and bit my lip. Kissing him felt so right, I missed his lips.
Roman-
"So it's safe to say she's still into you?", Dean asked.
I nodded.
"She kissed me back", I said.
"Who kissed you back?", Cushing asked, coming over with Watt.
"Willa's back, got back yesterday", Dean said.
"Great. How is she?", Watt asked.
"I have a kid, she's six months and beautiful", I said smiling.
"Congrats man, we should do play dates", Cushing said.
I chuckled.
"So what's up with you and Willa?", Dean asked.
"I kinda want to know too", Watt said.
"We are gonna take things slow. We have a lot to talk about", I said.
"Like about her disappearing act?", Cushing asked.
"We talked about that, it wasn't anything I did. It was her almost marriage, fear, Rosa and her baby, not knowing if it was mine", I said.
"But you have to admit, Willa wouldn't have left if you didn't devote your time to Rosa and push Willa aside", Dean said.
"I didn't", JJ cut me off.
"You did", Watt said.
I sighed.
"This situation wasn't entirely her fault", Cushing said.
"I'm man enough to admit, some of this is my fault", I said.
"Come on, we have a game to practice for", Dean said.
