[Time skip to the rumble]
I had watched the women's rumble it was down to two Rhea and Liv. I was praying Rhea would win as we were close and I knew what the opportunity meant to her. Don't get me wrong I loved Liv too but I was closer with Rhea and she always made sure I had eaten especially if I had been working late and not just that natia adored her. Rhea won and I couldn't help but celebrate. Even though she had to use her heel persona it didn't stop her from coming over and giving me a big hug. "Congratulations Koala!" I gave her the nickname to wind her up. I looked up at her with a grin watching as she rolled her eyes. Natia appeared from behind me "yay Auntie Demi won!" I watched her jumping up and down. i couldn't help but feel so happy as I watched rhea lean over and give natia a hug. she looked back up to me "I gotta go, happy birthday" she smiled and ran off up the ramp.
After a filler match, the men's royal rumble started. One after another came on and then Dom's music played and I got so much more excited. He ran down the ramp and circled the ring stopping as he got to me. He winked and handed me his jacket and necklace before jumping in the ring. I put on his jacket and natia put on his necklace and we watched in awe as he started to join in. However he got eliminated. But when he was thrown he landed on his head. It looked bad. I wanted to go and helped and looked over at an official wanting the approval.
The official nodded to let me know I could help, so I jumped the barrier and ran to Dominik placing my hand on his cheek "hey, Dom look at me...are you okay?" I watched him as he looked at me "yeah yeah let's go" I nodded and helped him up and walked with him up the ramp and back stage natia was on my heel. When we got backstage I was met with a surprise.

A/N: just representation to help you picture it
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" Was yelled at me from all sorts of directions. How did so many people know it was my birthday, everyone was here, even people who I didn't really speak to. I felt so overwhelmed and looked at dom "did.....did you do this?" I whispered to him. He nodded with a bright smile on his face "yep!" There were even cameras filming us which irritated me. I wanted to escape so just turned and hugged dom hiding my face in his chest. I hated parties for good reason too. But dom didn't know that, I hadn't told him a bout a lot of my traumas. Including what happened on my birthday two years ago. I slowly looked up at him unable to hide the tears in my eyes "we need to talk somewhere private now..." My voice broke as I spoke. i looked at natia "baby can you go to auntie becky and stay with her for a little ill be right back" I kissed the top of her head and she ran to becky. i looked to dom and he nodded and we went to my work area. I sat down holding my head in my hands. "Dom I hate surprises and parties I hate my birthday in general."
He knelt in front of me gently taking my hands. "tell me little one..." I broke down in tears. "something happened at my birthday party two years ago....I was walking home and I...I was assaulted. It's why my family is so protective" I shook my head tears streaming down my face. I sobbed as he pulled me into a tight hug "oh, why didn't you tell me little one?" I sniffled as I looked at him "I didn't want you to think differently of me thats why... I will try to enjoy the surprise just don't leave me." He nodded "of course little one" He kissed my forehead. "you look good in my jacket" he grinned. I just hugged him him tightly "thank you for the party i know you meant well" I kissed him gently. We headed back to the party and it wasn't completely horrible Natia thoroughly enjoyed herself though. I didn't open any of the gifts and instead waited till we were back at the hotel room.
I opened them up and sent a fitting thank you message, I then opened the one from my brother it was a gorgeous gold bracelet which made me smile. As we sat talking, natia curled up in doms arms, the door knocked. I opened it revealing my brother "hey Leati, whats up?" i smiled up at him. "im here to do that thing you asked." I nodded and let him in. I watched as he shook hands with dominik "im sorry i was so hard on you, my sister has just been through so much" dominik nodded "its okay i understand" they hugged it out and after a while my brother left "so papi what were the rest of my gifts?" I sat down looking at him quizzically. He got four boxes. I opened the three he handed to me. one was a gold necklace with his initials D.G as a charm. Another was a gold ring that matched one of his and the last, a brand new sewing machine accompanied by a bejewling pen and lots of colourful rhinestones. i watched as the last one he gave to Natia "i know its not her birthday but i wanted to get her something" natia opened the gift and it was a little leather jacket with natias name on it and the judgement day logo. I cried at the beautiful gifts and hugged him tightly "i love you so much thank you!" he hugged back and i knew he was smiling "you are most welcome hermosa" natia was thrilled by her gift and immediatly put it on "thank you Papa!" natia giggled hugging dom tightly. my eyes widened hearing her call dom papa. dom just looked overjoyed though so i was happy...
