Something more [a Roman Reigns story]

14 What are we doing?

Whatever we had expected from this day, it certainly wasn't that.

"You're what?" Roman yelled shocked. I had to put my hand on his chest to hold him back.

"You heard me just fine. I am pregnant. I've known for two weeks and I'm going to keep this child. And I want you to be a part of his life, but definitely not her. She ruined everything. We were so happy. Don't you remember, Roman? There's a reason you asked me to marry you. You love me, I know you do. I hope you can forgive me for all this, because I only did what I had to do. Come back to me and I will forgive you for your little slip-up of the last two and a half months. We'll just banish it from our memory. We can be a family the way God intended," Ava explained to us as we all stood there speechless.

"You really think you can force it like that? You think you can blackmail me into coming back to you? Let me assure you that will never happen. First, because I've never been so happy in my life. I'm happy to have you out of my life. And as for this 'pregnancy'... I won't believe it until you show me a doctor's certified document.

Secondly, I'm sure there are a lot of people who would hold it against me if I even considered getting back together with you. Especially my wife," Roman replied and then closed his hand tightly around mine.

"Your wife? Your wife? Are you serious? You married her? The woman who ruined everything? Are you kidding me?" screeched Ava as her face took on a deep red color.

"Yes I married Y/N, in fact just a few minutes after you left the church. And you know what? It was the best decision I ever made or will ever make. You are nothing compared to her. And be assured that I know exactly what all the fuss is really about. You want money. You want to maintain your standard of living, and since you're not getting any more money from me, you thought this was the easiest way.

If it is really true that you are pregnant and that it is really my child, then I will take responsibility for it. But before that, you have nothing to expect from me. Until we have the medical document, you can communicate with my lawyer!" Roman hissed in a cold voice. 

And with that, he turned his back on her and pulled me out of the room with him. I had to take big steps to keep up with him. Roman pressed the button to the elevator. It didn't take long for the doors to open and for us to get in. When the doors closed, he braced himself with his hands against the walls of the elevator and took a few deep breaths. 

Without looking at me, Roman began to speak and his voice sounded shaky and weak.

"I'm so sorry, baby. I'm so sorry. Please don't forget how much I love you. I didn't want something like this to happen. What am I going to do?" he spoke desperately.

I closed the space between us, put a hand on his shoulder and turned him to face me. There were tears in his eyes that he refused to let fall. The sight broke my heart. 

"We will now wait and see. And if it's really true, then we'll figure it out. I love you and I refuse to let her win. It may not be what we imagined, but... " I said in a voice full of emotion until it failed me. It was too much.

"But we'll make it work... right?" he continued my sentence.

"I really hope so." I whispered as I let my tears stream down my face and placed my head against his strong chest.

Roman hugged me tightly and rested his chin on my head. But he said nothing. There was nothing he could have said to make the situation better.
