Psychological Scars (Dean Ambrose Fanfic) Sequel to Ten Tonne Skeleton.

Understanding change - Part 25

Roman awoke with a smile on his face. Galina laid next to him, asleep in his arms. The couple had got up to some romantic business the previous night, so Roman wasn't surprised when he realized he and Galina were both naked.

Roman got out of bed, putting his clothes back on, and went downstairs to the kitchen. He wanted to surprise Galina with breakfast in bed. It was a small gesture, but one that Roman knew his girlfriend would love.

Fried eggs on toast sounded like the perfect breakfast to wake up to in Roman's eyes. And he was right. Galina awoke to the smell of breakfast and it instantly put a smile on her face, although the smell made her feel slightly nauseous for some reason.

The couple ate breakfast together and talked about what might happen in their future together. 

"So, obviously you like kids because you like Jake, but do you think you would want more kids in the future?" Galina asked.

"Oh, absolutely. I've always wanted a big family, it's a tradition in the Samoan lifestyle." Roman replied.

"That's great. I want more kids too." Galina laughed. "How many do you want altogether?"

"Probably four or five, including Jake."

"Well, I was thinking more like three, but I guess I could reason with you at four." Galina smiled. "I really want to have a baby girl."

"Yeah me too. She'd be my little princess."

"Roman?" Galina asked, suddenly a little nervous.

"Yeah?"

"What would you do right now if I told you I was pregnant?"

"Um, well I'd be over the moon, why?" Roman was slightly confused.

"Well, this morning when I smelt the foods for breakfast I started to feel a bit sick, it could be anything though. I was just wondering, did you use a condom?"

Roman thought about everything that had happened the night before and realized that, in the heat of the moment, he didn't use a condom.

"N-no, I didn't." Roman was shocked, he couldn't believe what was happening. "I'm sorry, everything last night just happened so fast and in all honesty, I just forgot."

"Hey, that's okay. I know what you mean though and I'm not mad at you." Galina smiled. "I have a pregnancy test upstairs, do you wanna check just in case?"

"Yeah, of course." Roman replied, suddenly feeling excited.

"Okay then, let's go to the bathroom."

Galina did the test fairly quickly with ease, she knew what she was doing, she had done this before. The waiting was the hard bit. Three minutes felt like forever and the worry was starting to kick in. Roman was stood right beside her though and that made her feel less nervous.

"Okay, that's three minutes." Roman announced. 

Galina took a deep breath before picking up the pregnancy test and looking at the results. She gasped at the results, causing Roman to become more curious.

"What does it say?" Roman asked.

"It's positive, I'm pregnant!" Galina shouted, starting to cry tears of happiness.

"That's great! I'm gonna be a dad." Roman laughed from pure shock.

Jake returned home shortly after and his mom told him the news. He was really excited. Roman was finally getting the family he wanted and he was more than grateful for what he had.

Dean decided to make his way over to Seth's house. He wanted to talk to him and sort a few things out. He knew that Seth wouldn't want to see him, but right now he had no choice. 

It was obvious that Seth was having a hard time. He was in the wrong mind state. That was the only reason he said those horrible things to AJ.

Once Dean got to Seth's house, the curtains were still shut, but the front door was unlocked. Seth had probably just gotten home from the hospital. The smell of alcohol continued to linger around the house and empty bottles of spirits were scattered throughout each room.

Seth was on the couch watching TV. He didn't notice Dean at first, but once he saw him he looked away from his previous friend.

"Seth, what's up man?" Dean asked, sitting next to the younger man.

"Not much." Seth mumbled in reply.

"That's good I guess, just thought I'd check on you after what happened yesterday."

"Well, I'm fine so you can leave." Seth sighed.

"I'm not leaving. We need to talk." 

"What do we need to talk about?" Seth asked, completely uninterested in the conversation.

"I know what you said to AJ." Dean said. Seth's eyes went wide as the panic set in.

"I-I didn't mean it, I promise. I've felt bad ever since." 

"I know you didn't mean it. I just want to know why you said it." Dean sighed.

"I was just fed up with everything, after what happened with Sami. You and me had an argument in the hospital and it made me upset, so I took it out on AJ. I really didn't mean it. I was just jealous that he was with you." A single tear ran down Seth's cheek.

"Look, I'm sorry about that argument and I should have talked to you sooner. I didn't even think about what had happened with you and Sami, I tried to erase it from my mind and that made me think that everything was okay. I'm sorry I didn't help you afterwards." Dean felt bad. "But you should have taken your anger out on me, not AJ. He hasn't done anything wrong."

"I know, and I've felt bad about it ever since. Why do you think I've drank so much alcohol?" Seth asked, laughing at how crazy everything was. There was silence for a few minutes.

"How is he?" Seth asked.

"He's okay now, he was a little upset at first. Kept pushing himself to workout more. Eventually he told me after I called him out on it yesterday."

"Is that why you came round my house yesterday?"

"Yeah, I was gonna give you a piece of my mind, but after seeing you passed out on the sofa I just had to help you. I feel bad because I left you all alone after what happened with Sami. You must have been terrified." Dean sighed.

"I was paranoid at first, but it doesn't matter now. I saw the video of Sami beating up Roman, is he alright?"

"Yeah he's fine. I think he's got a girlfriend." Dean smirked.

"Oh, really?" Seth smirked back.

The two men carried on their conversation over the majority of the day. Dean helped Seth clean up all of the empty alcohol bottles and got rid of the unopened ones.

"You have to stay alcohol free for at least two weeks." Dean ordered Seth, as he was about to leave.

"Yes mom." Seth laughed.

"I ain't your mom." Dean laughed back. "I'll see you later."

"Yeah, bye."
