Stay With Me (Roman Reigns)

20.

I sat in the hotel room with my sisters. I'd spent the night in there with them last night because Emmie needed me. She didn't want to let me go and I was okay with that. After what she's just spilled out to me, I was happy to stay with her. I'd called Roman and told him that I was staying with them and he was perfectly fine with it. Of course, that's because he understood. He just wanted me to make sure my sister was okay, which only made me love him more.

Taryn and Emmie were staying for Raw tonight and then going home tomorrow so that gave us another night to spend together which was good because we didn't get to talk much, Emmie cried and we all fell asleep.

Emmie sat on her bed with me, knees hugged to her chest just staring off into space. "Emmie." I said. She looked at me. "Does anyone else know about this?" She shook her head. I touched her arm gently. "Listen to me, you have to tell uncle Bill and aunt Lisa." I told her.

"Katie, you know how they are." she said quietly. "I can handle this on my own."

"No. Trust me, you can't." I said. "Don't get me wrong, I know how strong you are. You are incredibly strong and brave and you like to take the world on your shoulders but you don't have to. Lean on me and then. Let us help you."

"I don't like feeling powerless." she said.

"I know you don't." I told her. "But they deserve to know."

"I know. It's just, Josh didn't stay by my side. He wasn't even a little happy about it. I'm scared that they won't be either." she said.

"Emmie, what exactly did you tell him?" I asked her.

"I told him that he was gonna be a daddy." she said.

"When did you find out?" I asked.

"Two days ago." she said. "I told Josh immediately because he deserved to be the first to know. But he just thought I trapped him because he had planned to go out of state for college."

"Then he's clearly not the right guy for you." I told her. I looked at my phone and then back at her. "Listen, I have to go get ready for the day and for work but we can talk more about it later. And just know that I'm here for you, always. And so is Roman. He's really worried about you."

"Tell him I appreciate it." she said.

"Alright. Are you gonna be okay tonight?" I asked her.

"Yeah." she said. "Yeah, I'll be alright. I just don't really wanna talk about it with everyone. So if we can keep this between us and Roman, that would be great."

"You got it." I said before getting up off the bed. "I'll see you guys later. Let me know if you need anything." I walked out of the hotel room and back to mine. Roman was sitting up in bed, flipping through channels on the TV. I walked over and sat down next to him.

"How's she doing?" he asked.

"Not good. She's afraid of going through this pregnancy alone." I said. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. "I don't understand why. Why does this have to happen to my family?" I cried. "First our parents go missing and then I get raped, and now my sister has to go through a pregnancy alone as a teenager? What did we do to deserve this?"

"Nothing. You did nothing baby." he said soothingly. "I'm so sorry this all has happened. If I could change it I would. I would do it for you in a heartbeat. All of you."

"I hate seeing her like this. This hurt." I cried. I didn't like seeing my sister feel so low. This man that she's loved for over a year, saw a future with, couldn't handle the future. He told her a bunch of lies and then the minute something happens that would have been in their future, he dumps her. I was going to make sure this guy was held responsible for this baby if it was the last thing I ever did.
