The Sky Is Looking Great For April - A. Lee / D. Ambrose

Chapter 67

"My Father. He gets out Monday morning. I asked Stephanie for the day off for the both of us, because he wants us to meet him. More importantly he wanted to meet you." He says. His dad had been in jail for so much of his life, and he's just now getting out. "Okay. Cool." I say with a smile. That's weird he was so nervous over something like this. "Really? Thank you so, so much!" He says. "No problem. Why were you nervous?" I ask with a smile. "I don't know. It's been so long since I've seen him. 20-30 years. It's been a lot and especially for what he was put in for." He says with a sigh. "What did he do?" I ask confused. "He did drugs. His own little business. Whereas I tried to stop him being young and naive I let him do it. Not caring whatsoever. Then when he was thrown into jail I never visited him. When I was thrown into the same jail I purposefully avoided him. Then again. I was only in for about a month, but still." He says as he starts to ramble. "Chill. It's okay. We can head over Monday morning. No issue." I say simply.
Monday morning!!
We walked into Sami's house and he greets us with open arms as we enter to drop our stuff off. "Hey AJ! Dean! Great to see ya. What's new?" He asks. "Let's see. Where do we start?" I ask looking to Dean. We got married." He says with a smirk. "Then, we had a baby." I say with a smile. "Then, uh we got divorced." He says awkwardly. "Then we got back together." I say with a smirk. "Broke up." He says. "Then repeated that at least 3 times." I say. "Then we got back together again." Dean says with a smile. "Damn. That's a ton." Sami says. I nod. "Well, we have to go. See ya. I'll tell you how things go." Dean says. He nods as we head out. When we get in the car Roman calls me to probably fill me in on the details about the anniversary dinner last night. I answer. "Hi." I say cheerfully. "Hey. What's up?" He asks. "Nothing. Why? What's up?" I ask him. "Nothing, just called to thank you for your idea." He responds. "So, I take it dinner went well?" I ask hopefully. "Hell yeah. It was so fucking amazing." He says happily. "Well, what was the surprise?" I ask. "It was that she was having a baby. Being 6 months along, I'm very disappointed I didn't know sooner, but its keeping me on the edge when she calls. She said the date was in a little bit less than 3 months." He says. "Well, that's some surprise. Congrats Roman." I say happily. "That scares me though. I mean, its my second kid. I know I am like always around, or facetiming JoJo, but what if I can't do that with this new baby?" He asks. I sigh. "You are one big ball of hot nerves. Just breath, and remember to stop what ifing. Do you have a name?" I ask. "Yeah, we decided to let JoJo pick it out and after she picked her own name at first she then decided on Spencer. She then said the next surprise was she was having twins. Then I was told I could pick the other name. A girl. I picked Evangeline. Eva for short." He says with a smile. "That's awesome!" I say happy for Roman. "Then, I was thinking of the middle name. April. After you. Your full name." He says. "Roman, as happy as I am you did that I'm fine if you don't." I say. It's true. I don't want to be this child's name. Not that I don't want to, but it isn't necessary. "I want to, because this big ball of nerves isn't as big when you calm me down. You talk sense into me." He says. "Okay, thanks Roman. I gotta go. I will see you later on." I say to him. "Okay bye." He says before he hangs up. "We're here!" Dean says nervously. "It's okay Dean. I promise." I say. He nods and we get out of the car. He opens the door for me and we walk in. I don't know his father's name, so I let Dean check in. "Alan Alex Ambrose." Dean says. "Oh, and you two are?" They ask. "Dean Ambrose, and April Lee." He says. "Oh, must be a big day for you guys. Have a seat, we will call you in a few minutes." She says with a smile as she points to the chairs across from her. I sit in one and Dean sits next to me. "I'm scared." Dean whispers to me. I sigh. "Don't be scared. What's the worst thing that could possibly happen?" I ask. "Don't ask me that! I'm gonna go nuts. Just sit here, tell me everything will be okay, whether or not it will be. Isn't endless positivity what a girlfriend is for?" He asks. I sigh frustrated knowing it's his nerves. "Sure, speaking of girlfriend... We need to talk later." I say. "Last time you said that you told me you were pregnant with twins." He says. I nod. It went something like that. It was a terrific day, somewhat. "Wait..." He says with a pause. "Your not pregnant are you?" He asks. "No." I say with a small shrug. "Oh thank god." He says with a sigh. "Ambrose and Lee." The woman says. We stand up hand in hand. We go through the area and sit at a table. A few moments later this man comes out dressed in orange and hand cuffs in front of his body. He is brought over by a cop guiding his arm. He sits at this table and the cop remains standing over the table. "Hi." Deans Dad mumbles. "Hi Dad." Dean says hesitantly. "Dean?" He asks almost confused. Dean nods. "His wife? AJ?" He asks hopefully. "Um, girlfriend AJ." I say. "I'm Alan. This must be weird for you huh?" He asks. "Sorta, but its okay. How are you? Today's a big day." I say with a smile in hopes of the conversation to move off of me. "Where's mom?" He asks Dean. "Oh, uhm...  She's- she uh..." He starts stuttering. I'm not used to this. Dean is usually very fluid and a very well speaker. "She had committed a while ago. When Dean was younger." I say barely above a whisper. He nods and a few tears slip out. "I forgot, I had dreams of this and I wasn't sure if it was my imagination or not." He says looking down. "Dad, I'm providing you an apartment, and money. You've gotta have some fucking explaining to do. I'm this 12 year old kid having no clue what the hell is happing. Why mom did what she did and why you were getting tossed into jail. Why I had to go from living with my parents to leaving with this guy who I had recently met. What the hell did you do?" Dean asks so calmly I was kinda scared hearing this and I wasn't the one who was receiving this. "I made this giant mistake. I never meant for it to happen. It was me selling drugs to my friends, then they gave it to others. I was shortly in business all over the world. I can't say sorry because sorry doesn't forgive the many many years that you had to deal with this." He says. Dean starts smiling. "That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Not an apology, just an explanation." Dean says. "Well, I'm not up to date on everything. What are you two doing for a living?" He asks. "We are professional wrestlers. I'm champion and with this great group called the Shield. She's a diva who's breaking a WWE record practically every night she's in the ring." Dean says. "Can I see you guys wrestle?" He asks super hopefully. "Yeah, we have the night off tonight, but you can see us on Tuesday." I say with a smile. I take so much pride in what he and I do, I can't help but smile. "I'm happy to hear this. Listen can we get outta here?" Alan asks. "Well, for you to get out, we must have them sign some papers. While we return your clothes, and rights." The officer says. "Stay here and we can grab the papers." We all sit there and the officer comes back with papers and takes Alan. We look over them and sign them. Alan comes back in with clothes on. We give the officer the papers and he lets us go. We head to Sami's place, but on the way Roman calls me. "Hey, what's up?" I ask answering the phone. "We've had some big giant news going on. Rumors about the Shield, and maybe a new partner to take down another team." He says. "Oh, that sounds pretty cool. Who is it? Why tell me? I'm not a Shield member." I state. "The Shield is adding a new member. It's terrifying. We don't know when these opponents are gonna do something. We're only 1/2 complete if we're adding." He says. He sounds worried. Not like earlier. Earlier he was frantic. Now he's calmer. "Okay? Be prepared. Enlist help from the Usos. Did you even talk with Seth?" I ask. "No, he's trying to find partners, but the only one who wants to help who wouldn't help us out is Paige." He says with a sigh. "Calm down. Just think. Paige is stupid if shes gonna try to help you. Something, some plan or person got inside her head." I say. "True. Maybe Seth and I just get a beaten tonight, and everything will be fine tomorrow." He says. "Roman, how many times did you over think this?" I ask him. "Too many. I don't want my ass kicked on live TV." He says. "No, what's really your issue?" I ask him. "Fine, its special today. My parents are watching raw for the first time and they expect me to do good." He says. "Because they want you to do good doesn't mean that they want you to win, or they want you to be the best." I say to him. "You're right. It's okay." He says.
