After staying with Thea for a little longer, he went to face his parents. Letting them know or at least think, they won.
His mom stood when she heard him walking in.
"Son, I really am sorry. This is…", he stopped her with a look.
"Don't even finish that sentence, because I know its not true. You've wanted this for so long. I might not have remembered any of it, but I see how you treat her now. Dean and Nia told me everything", he said.
His mom sighed.
"Your father wants to talk to you, he's in his office", his mom said softly.
He stomped all the way there. Walking in, he slammed the door behind him.
"I know you're angry, son", his dad started.
"Angry is an understatement", he replied.
His dad nodded.
"What have you decided?", his dad asked.
"Really? That's the first question you ask? Not, how are you son? How was Thea?", Roman asked.
"And how is she?", he asked.
"Losing me all over again because of you", he replied.
"Son…", he cut his dad off, leaning over his desk.
"You should have told me she was the love of my life, but instead you convinced me to leave her. Abandon her, because you said it would be better for her. I actually thought you cared about her.", Roman said.
"Roman…", Roman slammed his fist into the desk.
"I am not marrying Sasha. I will stay with her for my child but that is all", Roman said.
He stood and walked out. Sasha saw him and smiled, rushing over to him.
"I'm so glad you made…", he turned on her.
"Do not touch me, do not speak to me, or even look me in my eyes. We aren't getting married, but I will be there for you. That is all", he yelled.
Nia and his mom watched, neither had ever seen him so angry.
"No, Roman its not. I want the life I was promised, or I kill the one inside me.", she replied.
"I am not marrying you, get over it", he growled.
"Fine, then take the job with Flair. The least you can do is make me richer", Sasha replied.
Before he could say no, she lifted her hand.
"There is no exception for this one. Pack a bag baby, we are moving to New York", Sasha said, before walking away and out of the house.
Roman punched the wall beside him. His mom and Nia jumped.
Thea had fallen asleep after so much crying. This was why she didn't want to let him in again. It was like life didn't want them together.
What had she done to deserve this? To lose her husband, not once but twice.
Someone knocked on her door before it opened to reveal Brie. She crawled into bed with her and hugged her sister.
"I know it's a stupid question to ask, but, how are you?", she asked.
Thea sighed.
"Exhausted", Thea replied.
Brie squeezed her tighter.
"Angry", Thea added.
"Whatever you want to do, we will support.", Brie said softly.
"Its not like I can keep him away, he is Joey's father and she knows about him. I don't want her to resent me for taking her way from him", Thea replied.
Brie nodded against her shoulder.
"Why me? What did I do?", Thea cried.
"Nothing, T. You are the kindest, smartest, and most compassionate person I have ever met.", Brie replied.
Seth walked into the room to hear his sisters. He sat beside Thea and kissed her head.
"Don't do that to yourself. This wasn't your fault, either time.", he said softly.
He wiped her tears.
"We are taking Joey for a sleepover with the cousins. Have faith that things will work out", he added.
Thea nodded against her pillow. Seth didn't like seeing his baby sister like this. He had promised his parents he would take care of her, but he can't protect her from this.
Roman sat in his dark room. His mind on Thea and Joey. Suddenly getting the urge to see her. He had to see her.
He stood and made his way to his car. Getting to the house, he unlocked the door and walked in.
He still had his key.
Making his way upstairs and to Thea's room. He made his way inside and watched her sleep. He smiled.
No way was he losing her again. He gently touched her cheek.
"Roman", she mumbled.
He sat beside her bed.
"I'm here", he whispered.
Thea woke up the next morning to find Roman beside her bed, holding her hand. That had to be an uncomfortable position.
She sat up and gently moved his shoulder. He woke up and wiped his eyes before looking around. Remembering where he was, he looked at Thea.
"I had to see you", he said.
She moved the covers to let him in. He joined her.
"I told her and them that I wasn't marrying her", he sighed.
"And how did they take that? I'm sure she through a fit", she replied.
He nodded.
"She did. Then countered me.", he said.
"With?", she asked.
"I take the job in New York or she gets rid of the baby", he replied.
"Nine months in New York?", she asked.
"Thea, I don't want to take it", he replied.
She looked at him.
"Would you hate me?", he asked, tears falling.
He couldn't look at her.
"Of course not, but you would regret it later on. I know you, you wouldn't be able to look at yourself", she said.
He sighed.
"Joey and I can go visit, or you can come here.", she said.
"How do we tell Joey?", he asked.
"Together. We don't have to tell her about Sasha just yet. She won't understand right now", she said.
He nodded.
"I love you, T", he whispered.
She smiled.
"I love you too, Ro", she replied.
"Where is she, by the way?", he asked.
"Seth and Renee took her for a cousins sleepover. Wanted to give me some alone time", she replied.
"Can I stay a bit longer?", he asked.
She nodded.
"I would like that", she replied, resting her head against his shoulder.
"What about kids in the future for us? I hope this doesn't change your mind?", he asked.
"Of course it doesn't. I want a big family with you, like the one we always talked about", she smiled.
"I wish I could remember it all baby. For you, for our daughter", he replied.
They had fallen asleep and his phone going off is what woke him. Sasha. He rolled his eyes and ended the call. Kissing Thea's head before leaving the room and going to his.
He grabbed a few dvds and photo albums, putting them in a bag. He was going to go back to Thea to say goodbye, but she was standing outside her door.
"I was about to come and say bye", he chuckled.
"Figured", she replied.
He leaned down and kissed her. That was his first mistake, he dropped his bag and lifted her into his arms, walking back into her room and laying her back.
Seth was dropping off his niece. She had been curious as to why she couldn't see her mom or dad before going to the sleepover.
Usually her mom told her the rules and to behave.
"Alright little miss, we are here", her uncle said.
Joey smiled. She missed her mom and dad. He helped her off and she ran inside, Seth laughed softly.
"Mommy?", Joey called, dropping her bag and running upstairs.
She was excited to be home.
"Daddy?", she called.
"Thea?", Seth called, before looking around.
"Up here", his sister replied, before coming down with her daughter in her arms.
"I missed you so much mommy. I had a lot of fun with my cousins. We ate popcorn and watched movies", Joey explained.
"Fun, sorry I missed it baby", she replied.
"Where's daddy?", Joey asked.
"I'm coming baby", Roman said, coming down.
He had showered. Seth looked at his sister and she had showered too. He smirked and his sister blushed.
"Hush", she nudged him.
"I didn't say anything sister", Seth replied.
"I hate you", she whispered.
Seth laughed softly. They watched Roman hug his daughter and kiss her head gently.
"God, I love you baby girl", he whispered.
"I love you too, daddy", she replied.
Thea smiled.
"So, mommy and I have to talk to you about something kiddo", Roman said.
Joey nodded.
"About what?", she asked, as she touched his cheek.
"Something daddy has to do, but promises to never leave you again", he said.
Joey looked at him confused. Seth cleared his throat.
"I should go, let you guys talk", Seth said.
He hugged his sister tight.
"Call me and I will be right over if you need anything, or Renee", he said.
Thea nodded against his shoulder. Seth let her go and walked over to his niece, kissing her head.
"See you tomorrow bug", he said to her.
Seth sent Roman a nod.
"I'll be seeing you, brother", Seth said.
"You will", he replied.
Seth left.
"What do you want for dinner baby?", Thea asked her daughter.
"Spaghetti", she replied.
"You got it", Thea smiled.
Roman sat his daughter on the counter as he helped Thea. Joey was telling them all about her night with her cousins.
They were going to have one last good dinner with their daughter before breaking the news to her.
