"What are you doing here?", she asked.
"I missed you girls. My secretary let me know I have a private jet and I can use it how I please.", he smiled.
"But, Sasha…", he cut her off.
"We can talk about that later. Right now, I want to have dinner with my family and put my babgirl to sleep.", he said.
She smiled and nodded as they walked inside.
"Daddy we missed you", Joey said.
He smiled.
"And I missed you my baby. So much princess", he replied.
"How about we order in pizza? Been craving it all day", Thea said.
"Yay pizza", Joey said excited.
Roman went over to her and placed his hand against her flat stomach.
"Now that I know about the jet, I'm going to come as often as I can. I don't want to miss anything with our little one. I missed it with Joey.", he said.
She placed her hand on top of his.
"How is it in New York?", she asked, calling the pizza place.
"Boring without you. Crowded and even with some many people around, I felt lonely. My family, my friends, all I know is here.", he replied.
She nodded and ordered. Once done, she sat beside him.
"It made me see why I chose to stay here. The people I work with only think about themselves and how to make partner. That's not what I want. I want to help people", he explained.
She smiled.
"That's exactly what you told me when you first decided to not take the job.", she said.
"Daddy, can we watch a movie?", Joey asked.
"Of course. You go pick it and we will be right there", he replied to her.
She skipped to go find a movie for them. Roman looked back at Thea.
"I don't want to go back", he said softly.
She took his hand in hers.
"You have too, and its like you said, vou've got a jet.", she giggled.
Her smile fell when he didn't laugh.
"Hey, its going to be okay. Joey and I aren't going anywhere. Unless you've changed your mind about marrying me, again?", she said.
He shook his head.
"Never", he replied.
"Good", she nodded.
Roman's phone went off and he noticed it was Dean. He chuckled.
"Do you think he knows I'm home?", he asked, showing her his phone.
She smiled as he answered before going to find Joey to see what she picked.
"Hey brother", Roman answered.
"Hey, are you alone by chance?", he asked.
"I'm actually home right now. Joey is picking a movie for us to watch", Roman said.
"Wait, you're home, home?", Dean asked.
Roman chuckled.
"Yeah, just for the night. Why?", he replied.
"Okay, don't move. Don't leave. We will be right there. Don't move", Dean said, before hanging up.
Roman shrugged before joining his family.
"If you want to change into something more comfortable, you still have a few clothes here", she said.
He nodded and went to change. When he came back down, Dean was here with Brie and pizza.
"So, what was so urgent? You sounded panicked on the phone.", Roman said.
"I have a theory and so do mom and dad", Dean said.
"Dean", Thea said, not sure they should tell Roman just yet.
"We have too.", Dean said to her.
"Have to what?", Roman asked, looking between his brother and Thea.
"Not here. Take it in the office", Brie said, before joining Joey to watch the movie.
The three went towards the office. Thea closed the door behind her.
"So, what's going on?", Roman asked.
Dean explained his theory and how it matched their parents. How Dwayne was going to serve Sasha.
"And why didn't you want me to know?", Roman asked Thea.
"Because I didn't want any of us to get our hopes up.", she replied.
"But I agree with Dean. This just seems so weird", Roman said.
"See", Dean said, excited.
Thea smiled at her brother in law.
"When is Dwayne doing this?", Roman asked.
"Some time next week. Hoping the judge signs off on it", Dean said.
Roman nodded.
"So until then, don't say anything to her", Dean added.
"I won't. I want this over with just as much as you all do. I want to come home", he said.
Dean nodded and looked at Thea.
"Our parents want to talk to you, T", Dean said.
"Why?", both Roman and Thea asked.
Dean chuckled.
"Relax big man, I think they want to apologize to her", Dean said.
"I leave early morning. I don't want you going over there alone", Roman said.
"She won't, I will be there. I told you I would look after our family and I am", Dean said.
Thea smiled. Roman nodded.
"Alright brother, and you, you better tell me everything they say to you. If they say something I don't like, they will get an earful from me", Roman said.
She touched his cheek gently.
"I will", she nodded.
"Now lets go enjoy this movie with my little bug.", Dean said, walking out of the room.
Roman stopped Thea and hugged her tight.
"As soon as this is over with, we are getting married", he whispered.
She nodded against his shoulder.
"I love you, T", he whispered.
"Love you more", she replied.
She didn't want to tell him she doubted this whole plan that Dean and their parents had. She was afraid Sasha already thought of this and has a plan of her own.
She didn't want to ruin tonight for them. They were so excited.
"Everything okay?", he asked, once they pulled away.
She nodded.
"Just sad you have to leave in a few hours", she replied.
He kissed her, before pulling on her hand to follow.
Roman had left early morning before she or Joey got up. Thea got her dressed.
"Why are we dressing up mommy?", she asked, as Thea brushed her hair.
"We are going to visit grandma and grandpa", she replied.
"Oh, I liked them", Joey said.
Thea smiled.
"Good, I'm glad", she replied.
Dean popped his head in.
"You girls ready?", he asked.
Thea nodded. She smoothed down her dress and fixed her ponytail.
"Its going to be okay, T", Dean said.
"Easy for you to say", she mumbled.
He smiled.
"They honestly feel horrible. If I were you, I would give them hell", Dean winked.
"And make them dislike me even more.", she chuckled.
He laughed. He took his sister in law by the arm and she groaned as he pulled her out.
He laughed and shook his head.
Pulling up to the house, Thea's nerves were in overdrive.
"Come on, T", Dean said, getting off the car and taking Joey down.
Thea took a few seconds longer to do so. His parents were already waiting outside the door. Greeting her daughter and their son.
They looked at her.
"Come in, Thea. We have a lot to discuss", Sika said.
She just nodded.
