Holy shit. I just cut a promo on my ex husband in the middle of a crowded bar. Pipe fucking bomb. I make it into a cubicle just as the tears start to fall. I hear the Bella's yelling at somebody to get away and then they're there. "Torrie?" Brie calls. I open the door and she pulls me into her arms. "Let it out" she whispers, sliding with me to the floor and stroking my hair as I sob into her shoulder. "I said fuck off!" Nikki yells before a loud slap is heard. "Now go!" She walks in shaking her hand. "Your ex husband is a tough son of a bitch" she complains, sitting next to us on the floor. I smile through the tears as she stands up to run her hand under the cold tap. "Fuck, that hurt!" she moans. There's a lot of pushing outside and Roman walks in, followed by Seth and Randy. "Baby girl" he moans, sitting next to me and pulling me from Brie. "Why the fuck can't I get over him Joe?" I ask, cuddling into him. He wraps his arm around me and kisses me softly. "Because you're not letting yourself get over him" Seth says crouching next to us. "You don't go out, you don't date..." "I'm fucking pregnant Colby!" I yell. "Who the fuck is gonna wanna date me? Knowing I'm gonna pop out the spawn of the psycho out there in five months time?" They all stare at me. "Is that what you think?" Seth asks quietly. "Oh get real Colby!" I snap standing up and going to the mirror to check my makeup. They all stare at me, shocked by my outburst. I make myself presentable and storm out.
Dean is right outside the door. "Get out of my fucking way!" I yell pushing him hard in the chest. He falls backwards and lands on his ass. The bar goes quiet as everyone watches. "Let's get one thing straight Dean" I hiss. "Yes, I live here. Yes, we're probably gonna bump into each other from time to time. But I want nothing to do with you. You stay away from me, you don't talk to me, you do not attempt to contact me. Because I swear, if you do, it'll be the last time you'll ever see me." I walk to the table, grab my purse, and walk out.
My phone is going mad. Randy. Now Seth. Now Roman. I swear those three should be a tag team. Oh, now it's Hunter. I feel bad ignoring him, but I have to. I keep walking, not sure where I am or where I'm going. I'm so confused I'm not even thinking about my own safety. I'm about to dial Seth when I smell him. "Why are you following me?" I ask without turning around. "Because you're my wife Torrie" he whispers. "Ex wife Jon" I say, still not looking at him. I can't look at him, I know I'll crumble. "It's a piece of paper" he says. "So was the marriage certificate" I retort. He winces audibly. "Please?" he begs, his voice cracking. I shake my head. "Leave me alone Jon" I beg, my voice cracking too. "I can't" he sobs. "Fuck Torrie, I fucking love you." "Funny way of showing it Jon" I say, leaning on a wall, still with my back to my blubbering wreck of an ex husband. "Jon, you need to go. Seth is on his way." He groans. "We need to talk Tor" he says. I turn around finally. "I have nothing to say to you" I say. He looks down at my stomach and drops to his knees. "Is everything ok with the baby?" he whispers. I frown at him. "Of course" I spit. "Randy has taken excellent care of us. Roman too. He came to the doctors with me, junior gave him a one finger salute, just like papa." Dean chuckles. "That's my... Boy? Girl?" he asks. I shake my head. "I don't want to know" I say. "As long as junior is healthy I don't care." He nods. "Are you sleeping with Randy?" he asks suddenly. Oh my god. Is he seriously asking me about my sex life? "Are you sleeping with Renee?" I retort. He winces. "No" he finally says. "I haven't. Well, just that once. I couldn't again." I shake my head. "You're full of shit" I say walking past him. He grabs my arm. "Let her go" Roman growls out of the darkness. I smile and run into his arms. He kisses my head and glares at Dean. "You need to leave, Dean" he says. I shake my head and put my hand on Roman's chest. "No" I say. "Take me home Joe." He looks at me and nods, holding my hand and leading me back to the club and the waiting car.
I wish they'd stop it. We're in the car going back to mine and Randy's apartment. I'm staring out of the window. They're staring at me. All three of them. "Guys, you're freaking me out" I moan. "I'm fine. I'm not gonna break down or anything. It was gonna happen sooner or later. There was no way I could hide from him forever. Now I need to suck it up and get over it. Now I can move on." They all look at each other. The car pulls up at the apartment and I get out before they can say anything. I take the key from my purse and just as I get to the door Roman takes it from me. "We all need to talk" he says, unlocking the door. I open the door and turn the lights on as they file in behind me. I kick my shoes off and sit on the sofa, rubbing my stomach and waiting for one of them to speak. They all look at each other awkwardly. "For fuck sake guys" I say standing up and walking to my room. "Wake me up when one of you finds your voice!" I slam the door and start getting ready for bed.
I'm in the middle of taking the dress off when my door opens and all three of them are stood in the doorway. "We're gonna talk" Seth says confidently. "And you're gonna listen." I spin around, covering myself with the dress. "Well well" I say, grabbing Dean's shirt and groaning. "I can't fucking wear this." Randy growls and takes his shirt off, passing it to me. I take it gratefully and turn my back on them, slipping it on and doing the buttons up before turning back around to them. "So speak" I say, sitting on my bed. Randy looks at Seth before crossing to the dresser and grabbing the lotion. I smile and lay back on the bed as he lifts the shirt up, kissing my stomach before squeezing the bottle. Tonight I have a butterfly. I glance at Roman and Seth. They're watching him warily. "Routine, guys" I say. They nod. As soon as Randy is done I pull the shirt back down and sit up. I scoot up the bed and lean against the headboard, patting the bed either side of me. Randy stays at the bottom of the bed while Roman and Seth sit either side of me. "This needs to be said" Seth finally says. "Torrie, you need to stop writing yourself off. You're fucking gorgeous, and all three of us here love you to bits. We would do absolutely anything for you, you need to believe that." "I do" I whisper. "I know you would, guys, and junior and I are really grateful." They nod. "Tor" Seth says warily. "You're not gonna like this. But it has to be said. You need to date. You need to get back out there, you need to come back to work, you need to stop hiding yourself away." "You" I say. "Need to stop telling me things I already know. You need to stop thinking that it's so easy to do all those things. You need to realise that situations change." Randy nods, clearly thinking. "Come to 'Mania with us tomorrow?" he says suddenly. "Everyone already knows you're back." I nod. "Ok" I say and they all pile on me, hugging me tightly. "Guys" I say quietly. They all look at me expectantly. "Would you, um, stay with me tonight?" I ask. Roman grins first. "Baby girl" he says kissing me. "You only had to ask, we would have stayed that first night." Seth nods in agreement. Randy looks a bit more wary. Seth notices and taps his leg. Randy looks at him and Seth gestures towards the kitchen. "I'm hungry man" he says. "I bet junior needs feeding too. Come help me raid your finely stocked kitchen for something to eat." Randy nods and follows Seth to the kitchen, leaving Roman and I lying on the bed.
I'm cuddled into Roman, his hand is up the shirt lightly running up my side. I look up at him and he smiles before kissing me gently. He pulls away and looks into my eyes. His eyes are dark, a dark steely grey. I moan and tangle my fingers in his hair as I pull his head back down to mine and kiss him hungrily. He shifts on to his side and lets his hand wander down to my ass, cupping it and squeezing it lightly. Suddenly he rolls back onto his back, breaking the kiss. "Close your eyes" he whispers. I do as he says just as the door opens.
"She's sleeping Ro" Seth whispers. "Is she?" Roman asks, turning his head to look at me. "Um listen" Seth says, running his hands through his hair. "I gotta go. Layla called, Dean is going mad, nobody is speaking to him or Renee. I guess nobody knew what happened, I mean, we didn't say anything. They knew about him and Renee, but not that Tor was pregnant when it happened. I gotta go sort him out, get him home. You're kinda wrapped up here, so I'll take Randy." "Is that wise?" Roman asks quickly. "I mean, Dean knows he's been hiding Torrie for all these months." Seth laughs. "I think I can handle him" Randy says, appearing in the doorway. "I've got a few home truths that arrogant bastard needs to hear anyway. It's all good. You be ok here with Torrie?" Roman nods. "Count on it" he says quietly. "Text me, let me know it's all ok?" Randy and Seth nod before heading out. We wait until we hear the front door close and the car start up before we speak. "Right" Roman whispers, rolling onto his side again and kissing me softly. "Where were we?"
