It was an ordinary afternoon for three adopted brothers, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and Seth Rollins, also known as The Shield. They were adopted by a young single woman years prior who couldn't have children. It was because of that it broke up her marriage. Not long after her divorce she had found the three young boys, homeless and parentless.
She took them in and not long after that it turned into fostering them and then adopting them. The three boys grew into fine young men and started wrestling and their dreams came true when they were signed to the WWE.
Roman was cleaning their shared house, Dean and Seth were playing the playstation. As the middle and two toned man were playing, Roman's phone rang and he picked it up to answer.
"Hello…this is he…" His face went pale, his heart sank. "Yes I understand, we'll be there soon" He wiped the tears from his eyes. "Guys, we need to talk. Family meeting"
Hearing the voice and tone of their older brother they paused the game and looked over to him as he sat down. God this would be hard. He was still trying to understand and process it.
"What's up Rome?" Seth asked, concerned seeing the look on his face.
"I just got a call from the hospital" He started, he swallowed the lump in his throat as he held back a sob. "Guys it's mom"
The two younger men felt their hearts drop, Seth took his brother's hand. No. This wasn't happening, it just wasn't. It had to be a nightmare. A sick and twisted nightmare.
"Rome no…Please no" Dean begged his older brother, holding back his own sobs.
"Mom was in an accident, hit by a drunk driver. She died on impact at the scene" Roman explained, finally crying letting out his own emotions.
Dean and Seth had broken out in their own sobs and held each other, Roman gathered his younger brothers in his arms and held them close. After a few minutes the larger tanned man cleared his throat.
"That's not all, mom had Camila with her"
Camila was their adopted little sister, she had only just turned 7 a couple months prior. She was a small girl at 5 '2 with piercing blue eyes, long dark brown hair. The young girl was very intelligent for her age. She knew she had been adopted and she didn't care, she loved her mother and three brothers very dearly.
Hearing their sister's name made their blood run cold. No. Just no. First they lost the only parent that gave a damn about them and now their little sister too? This had to be a nightmare, it just had to be.
"No Rome, please not Cammie too" Seth pleaded with his oldest brother.
"The doctor told me she's fine, just some bumps and bruises, a possible concussion. They wanna keep her for observation but we can go see her and mom" He explained.
Dean sniffed and wiped his eyes. "Let's go"
Without question and another word the brothers left for the hospital. Seth called their boss Hunter, to get time off for a family emergency- without going into full detail. Seth had barely been able to hold it together as it is. He thanked his boss and hung up just as they pulled into a spot at the hospital.
Dean, being the impatient one, took off inside needing to get to his sister. Roman and Seth knew he was most likely capable of losing his temper in his current state. When they got inside they expected to see their middle brother tearing into the doctors and nurses but instead he was talking in a calm and civilized manner.
The dirty blonde looked back to his brothers and signed for them to follow him to see their sister. The three brothers followed the nurse to their sister's room. Camila sat on the bed, unshed tears in her eyes, dried tears on her pale cheeks. The young girl knew and understood what happened. She could just sit in shock and attempt to process everything as she waited for her brothers. She was so out of it she didn't even hear the nurse come in with her brothers.
As soon as the three men saw their young sister their hearts broke for her. No child should be going through this. Losing a parent at any age would hurt deeply and leave a scar that would never heal.
"Cammie" Seth spoke gently.
The young girl looked up and saw her older brothers, the dam of tears she'd been holding in her eyes had finally broken as she desperately reached out for them. Dean was the first to go over as he sat on the bed pulling her into his strong and muscular arms rocking her gently, whispering soothing words in her ear.
Seth leaned into his oldest brother. "You do realize he won't let her out of his sight right?"
All three brothers were protective of their sister, however Dean was more insanely over protective of her.
"I don't think any of us will right now," Roman replied quietly.
"What are we gonna do Rome? How are we gonna take care of her? We travel all the time, she needs to be in school"
The long haired tan man looked to his middle brother and kid sister. "We'll make it work"
