Stay With Me (Roman Reigns)

46.

The past week and a half has been so ridiculous. Well, not completely. The SmackDown after Roman and Daniel were forced to team together the first time, they had to team together again and this time in tag team turmoil where they start against one team and if they beat that team they move on to face the next immediately after, and so on. They beat every team they faced even Kane and Big Show who couldn't even stay on the same page. Then all hell broke loose on Monday Night Raw when they had to compete in singles matches and they went out for each others' matches and caused distractions for each other. But it all went to hell when Roman caused Big Show to win Daniel's match by spearing Big Show after he was attacked. Then he and Daniel brawled. It all broke loose on Monday night. The last one before tonight.

Since Roman and I weren't needed for this past SmackDown, we decided to go home and do some more wedding planning. We had just about a month before our wedding day and every day past was a day closer to it. The closer we got, the more my excitement went up. I couldn't wait to marry Roman. And we so much left to plan and do before that day comes. Over the past week we worked on the guest list and the invitations. We got all of them done and just needed to send them out now. I was so damn excited.

But that wasn't the only thing that happened this past week. While we were home, we had some more drama. It wasn't with each other. It wasn't with our friends or our family. It was with my birth parents. Again.

FLASHBACK

Roman and I pulled into the driveway of uncle Bill's house. We were coming over here today to see William and everyone else. Plus, I needed to talk to Emmie and Taryn about their dresses. I needed their opinion on what style to go with. I was torn between something simple and something more party-like. And since they were gonna be the ones wearing the dresses, I wanted their inputs.

We got out of the car and walked up to the door before walking in. I immediately stopped causing Roman to bump into me and then grabbed my waist so I didn't fall over. Right there on the couch was my sisters, uncle Bill and my birth parents. "What the hell is this?" I asked. I got very angry very quickly.

"Katie, don't freak out." Taryn said as she got up. She walked over to me.

"Freak out?" I asked. "This is not freaking out. This is wondering what the hell my family is doing with these two child abandoning nightmares."

"Look, I understand how this looks." she said. Roman gripped onto my waist a little more because he knew how much this angered me. "But all our lives we wondered what our parents were like. We wished for them every day. And now we have the chance to have them in our lives. Emmie and I, we wanna know them. So we've decided to give them a chance. And we understand if you don't feel the same but we really wanna do this with you."

"You're kidding me, right?" I asked. "After everything they said to us? Everything they did? You wanna just forgive them and let them back into our lives just to do it again?" I looked around at uncle Bill. "How could you do this? After everything you saw us go through? Every night we cried because we were so scared that something bad happened. You were the one that wiped our tears away. You were the one that fixed our broken hearts." I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I felt so betrayed right now. "How could you do this to me?"

Uncle Bill got up and walked over to us. "Listen kiddo, I remember everything you went through. I remember all the nights you girls cried yourselves to sleep. That is forever etched into my heart. And I will never forgive them for putting you three girls through that. But that's my brother. And as much as I'd like to turn my back on him, I still remember the boy I grew up with. The brother I loved. And I wanna believe that he's still in there somewhere." he said.

"What about me?" I cried. "Don't you still love me?"

"Of course I do sweetheart." he said. He wrapped his arms around me and held me close. "This has nothing to do with my love for you. I love you so much. That will never change. I promise."
