||Raleigh's POV||
Roman and I went tux and dress shopping weeks before the wedding and now that we see each other with our outfits on, we match. I finished curling my hair and helped Roman put his hair in a better bun than usual. Once we were ready we walked out of our air conditioned Texas hotel room and drove our rental car to the country club. The wedding shower was a few days before, and it was a lot of fun. We walked into the country club and I gasped when I saw everything all done up and pretty. As I was looking around I heard someone say my name. I looked towards the direction of the sound and saw my mom run over to me. "Raleigh!!" She hugged me and pulled me back at my shoulders. Her eyes travelled to my nub shoulder. "Baby, what happened to your arm?" I looked up to Roman as my mom let go of me. He explained to her what had happened and she hugged me tightly. "Oh Raleigh, I can't believe you never told me." I looked down to my stomach and started crying silently. Roman hugged me without saying a word. He whispered, "We'll talk to her later about all this, ok?" I let go of Roman and nodded to him. He helped me wipe my tears and my mom led me to the room where my sister was getting ready. When I walked in the first thing I noticed was the dress. "Sis!!! You look beautiful!!!!" She turned around from looking at the mirror and saw my arm. "Oh my gosh Ray, what happened?!" I looked down while my mom explained what she heard minutes ago. Liz nodded and came over to hug me. "Glad you're here sis, that's all I have to say. Where's your man sis?" I let go and told her that he was upstairs. She smiled and slightly jumped. "I can't wait to meet him, he surely will be handsome." I smiled, blushing, just thinking about Roman. "Well sis, I better get back and get myself a seat." She nodded and kissed my cheek. As I was leaving I turned back again and said "Sis, congrats!"
======================
The ceremony was beautiful, and Josh seemed like a great guy for Liz. I was happy for Liz for finally finding the right path in life. Roman and I headed over to the separate building where they'd be holding the big reception. Roman took my hand and looked down at me. "Babe, when do you want to tell your mom about your miscarriage?"
"Let's tell her before it gets loud and obnoxious."
"Ok. Is it alright if we tell her in a few minutes, when we get there?"
"Yes, that'll be fine." Roman smiled and squeezed my hand as we kept walking.
We walked into the reception hall and saw my mom by the doorway. "Mom!" She looked my way as I let go of Roman and ran to her. "Hi sweetheart. What'd you think of the wedding?"
"Oh mom, it was beautiful. Josh really does seem like a great guy." She smiled. "Mom, there's something I need to tell you." She frowned but nodded. I looked to Roman and he came over to us. I looked up at him but he hugged me whispering, "You'll be ok beautiful, just tell her. I'm right here." I nodded and turned back to my mom, her frown worsening. "Mom, this story has to go with the shark attack. Ok, so I was pregnant at the time, maybe two or three months, barely showing. But we went to the beach one day to go tubing out in the water. We went out pretty far, but that's beside the point. We were just floating for a while, until I was pulled under. Ok, the shark got my arm, let's fast foward. I'm awake in the hospital, then Roman comes in with tears in his eyes and comes to sit down next to me. He tells me that because of the loss of blood, the baby didn't make it and they had to take it out while I was in surgery for my arm." She stood there, bewildered, but I could see a few tears run down her cheeks. "Oh Raleigh, come here beautiful." She pulled me into a hug and we both cried, I didn't care for my makeup. When we pulled away Roman wiped my tears and hugged my mom. I heard my mom say, "Thank you for taking care of my daughter" into Roman's chest. They pulled away and Roman stepped back, taking my hand and led me into the large ballroom where the reception was soon to take place. We saw Liz and her husband helping the DJ set up. "Liz!!" She turned and ran to me. She looked up and saw Roman. "Oh my goodness Raleigh, you got yourself a keeper." Roman laughed and shook my sister's hand. "Let's go have you meet my husband Roman." Roman and I walked over to the DJ stand to see the DJ and Liz's husband trying to hook some cords in. "Josh, honey, this'll only take a minute. I want you to meet my sister Raleigh and her boyfriend Roman." At the mention of Roman's name he turned and smiled. "Hi Raleigh, your sister tells me all about you." I'm surprised he didn't know me from being a diva. He turned to Roman and smiled wider. "And you are Roman Reigns." As they talked Liz came over and whispered, "I told you he'd know who your man was." I laughed and hugged her. Roman came back over to us and Liz went back over to her husband. "Hey babe, want to go get some drinks?" I nodded and took his hand as he led me to the bar. The bartender smiled to us as she finished drying off a martini glass. "Hi, what can I get for you two?" Roman asked for a glass of champagne, while I asked for a Shirley Temple. When we got our drinks, we sat down at a small, candle lit, table and Roman asked me, "Why'd you get something so innocent, like a Shirley Temple, to drink?"
"Because I don't want to get drunk like you." He laughed. "Now, since when have I gotten drunk when I'm with you?" I stroked my chin, like I was thinking, and Roman playfully slapped me. "Oh come on, you know I'd never drink excessively around you." I hugged him. "I know babe, I'm just kidding." He laughed lightly and kissed my forehead.
================
We made it back to the hotel, and I was exhausted, but Roman wasn't. I took my dress off and changed into the shirt and sweatpants I had set out before I left for the wedding. I took my phone from my purse and texted my sister on how beautiful she looked, and that I hoped the marriage lasted a long time. I then texted my mom, saying that we made it back to the hotel safely. I set my phone down, and saw Roman stepping into a pair of basketball shorts. He's so handsome, I love him. "Hey baby, what're you looking at beautiful?"
"Is it a crime that I was looking at my handsome boyfriend?" He smiled and jumped on the bed. He kissed me quickly. "I guess not babe." He kissed me again, this time more passionate, but I had to pull away, for the decency of the other hotel goers around us. "Babe no, not tonight." He groaned, but kissed my lips once more, before laying down.
