Robyn noticed that Roman was acting strange and had been for about a  week now. Whenever a camera was around during their hospital visits, he  avoided her like the plague. The same thing happened Monday morning.  Usually, they stood next to each other behind the children. Today, he  moved to one end of the children so naturally, she moved to the other,  separated by at least 8 little bodies.

"So...what's up with all  the space? You weren't this concern with putting distance between us  when we were together and I was begging for it," she inquired.

He looked around, making sure no one was in earshot. "I don't want to create any problems at home."

"Wait,  she doesn't want us around each other?" Robyn knew that working closely  together would be awkward between she and Roman but she never thought  about Galina's feelings about it.

"It's like this...she knows that we have to  be around each other but right now it's kind of a sore subject and I'm  trying to do my part to make her feel comfortable," he explained.

"Aww, how sweet of you," she cooed.

"Can't tell if that's you being sarcastic or sincere..."

"A little of both," she winked.

"So what's going on with you?"

"Joe, we've just gotten back on speaking terms so if you're trying to ask me if I'm talking to anyone, it's not really your business."

He  put his hands up in defense. "It's just a question. The reason I  distanced myself from you was none of your business either but I still  shared."

"Well, if you must know, I haven't been in contact with  anyone since we split," she replied and he looked relieved which induced  an eye roll. "But I'm slowly getting over it so don't expect that to  last."

"I think I've come to terms with you moving on and we're on  the road 300 days a year so there's a strong possibility that it's  going to be with a coworker," he sighed. "My only concern is you picking  the right guy. Don't forget I'm in the locker room with them. I know  how they think and act."

"We'll cross that bridge when we get  there," she said, adjusting her top slightly. It was a casual move done  unconsciously but it still caught his attention she noticed. She was now  skeptical about the 'amazing, better than before' sex that he  was allegedly having because if he was really sexually fulfilled he  wouldn't be watching her every move like a horny, teenage boy. There was  another issue. In the months that they were together, he never spoke on  his sex life with Galina. He seemed too respectful for that so the fact  that he blurted that out like it was nothing was suspect. If they  weren't having sex, she couldn't bring herself to feel sorry for him  because this is the path he chose.

"When you do get that point, can you drop a name to me before anything happens?" he requested

"What?  I think you have me confused with Joelle. Just because I called you  daddy a few times does not make you mine," her phone dropped and she  bent to pick it up. As she knelt down, she looked over her shoulder and  there it was, that look of burning need in his brown eyes.

Clearing his throat, he tried to suppress it. "Let's get out of here and head to the arena."

"Now  I wish I'd stayed on Raw. You had me moved to be with you and now look  at us. As scarce as the Raw women's division is I'd probably get a title  opportunity faster there than on Smackdown. I also find it super  strange that I start getting more TV time, won the Mania battle royal  and secured a spot in the ladder match while I was dating you and the  moment we broke up, I'm back to watching the monitors. Guess you were  interfering after all especially now that I know the McMahons were  aware..."
