5 Years Ago

"Why is no one talking to me" Roger slammed his fist on the nurse's table after receiving the same answer he's been getting for the last two hours, "We've had no update on her condition". Roman shook his head, apologising to the nurse and walking away.

"Look over there. You losing it is only making Lana more scared. Calm down" Roman pointed to baby Lana who was crying into Mons shoulder. 

"Mon can she spend the night with you?" Roger walked over and picked his daughter up, wiping away her tears.

"Hi lil mama, everything is going to be okay. Go with Aunty Mon. I love you" He kissed his daughter on the cheek before handing her back to Mon. Mon gave him a hug before leaving with his daughter.

"I don't get it. She was perfectly healthy. She hadn't thrown up or had headaches. The pregnancy was good. She was good." He sat on the uncomfortable hospital chair and held his head in his hands. 

"This was supposed to be a good night" He sighed reaching into his pocket and grabbing out the small black box. This made Romans eyes widen as Roger began to play with the ring.

"Mr Afoa" Rogers attention shifted to the doctor who was standing before him. 

"What's going on?" His eyes were red from all the crying. He didn't know what he would do if he lost April. The doctor gave him a sympathetic look, taking him to a more secluded area in the waiting room for the two to talk.

"We have reason to believe she has Endometriosis" Roger had no idea what this condition was and had no idea that this news would change his life forever. 

"The lining in her uterus is abnormal and-"

"Doc with all due respect, can you just tell me what this means" - Roger

"I'm sorry to say this but she has lost the baby" Was the only words the doctor could say before sending Roger on a fit of anger. It took Sefa, Roman and Una to restrain Roger from damaging the whole hospital.

"I need to see her" He walked back to the doctor.

"Ms Leaaetoa has made it clear that she wishes to see no one. I'm sorry" Roger ignored the doctor once again and brushed past into April room. The site alone made him fell to his knees. His woman on the hospital bed gripping onto her stomach and crying. 

"Baby" Roger placed a hand on her cheek, wiping away her tears as she continued to cry.

"Go away" She sobbed removing his hand and turning the other way.

"I'm not leaving" Roger walked to the other side of the best to see her.

"No. Leave. I don't want you here" Roger couldn't believe the words coming out of April's mouth. It was hurting him to see his woman hurting, but hurt him, even more, to feel her pushing him away. Roger continued trying to get April to surrender but she never did. Feeling defeated, he kissed her on the forehead and left the room.

Present Day.

"Mamas come on. We need to go" April yelled from the kitchen for her daughter to finally come from the room. 5-year-old Lana ran into the kitchen with no pants on. April shook her head, laughing at her daughter. Oh Lana.

"Am I going to daddy?" Lana questioned as April began braiding her hair.

"Yeah. Your dads on his way. After this go and get your bag okay?" April felt Lana nod her head. Once April was finished braiding Lanas hair, the little girl ran into the room and put on a pair of pants before rushing back to the living room with her unicorn bag on her back.
