"How dare you not tell me!" I yelled at Danica.


"Sorry, I forgot about telling you," she said.


"Oh God, even worse, you forgot about me," I said.


"But you're here now, and where's my god baby Masina?" She asked.


"In her room sleeping, but if you go up there and wake her up, you better make her lunch," I said.


"Fine, but you guys are still coming to Raw with me tonight, right?" she asked.


"Yeah, even though I don't want to, but Stephanie invited me," I said.


"Is it because of you know who?" she asked knowingly.


"Yup, I mean, he moved on. " I said.


"You need to tell him tonight." She said.


"Fine," I  said, rolling her eyes.


"I'll meet you guys there." She said.


|at RAW|


I walked into the building so excited to be here. Stephanie called me today asking me to come and watch raw.


She gave us backstage passes and said I could hang out backstage before the show started. Danica would be here with Brock's kids, so I brought Masina with me to play together.


I always watch Raw every Monday but never really had time to come to a live show. The only thing I wasn't happy about was seeing Joe, also known as Roman Reigns. The last time I saw him is when he walked out the door of our apartment.


Tonight proves that I can't always run from my problems and that this is a small world.


"Mommy, I want Deanie's shirt," Masina says.


"Why I thought uncle Brock was your favorite," I asked.


"No, Deanie crazy like me, so I want his shirt," she said, giggling.


Did she call herself crazy?


"Baby, you're not crazy," I said.


"But Auntie Danica said I am," she said.


"Auntie Danica is a weirdo," I said.


We walked around exploring until we reached this place where all the superstars and divas were eating. Danica talks about this spot a lot.


She called it catering. We walked into catering because Masina spotted cupcakes.


"Amari!" a voice yelled.


I looked around until I noticed Nikki throwing her hands up in the air. Masina and I walked over to the table where she was. I saw Dean, Seth, Noami, Jimmy, Jey, Paige, Brock, Joe, Brie, Nicole, and many other kids sitting at the table.


"Hey," I said, sitting in an empty chair and putting Masina on my lap.


"Did you get here?" Brie asked.


"Nah, be here for almost thirty minutes," I said.


"Why didn't you ride with us?" Nicole asked.


"Because I wasn't thinking, " I said.


"Mommy, where's my Deanie's shirt," Masina asked.


"Ouch, so you not gonna support me," Brock said.


"No, Deanie, better than you," she said, sticking out her tongue.


"That's not nice, Ma," I said.


"Sorry, but that's the truth," she said.


"I don't know where she gets it from? " I said.


"From you," Nicole said.


"I think I'm nice," I said.


"No, you're not," Joe said.


"Who asked you," I said, rolling my eyes.


Why is he trying to speak to me?


"I've known you for almost seven years, and trust me, and you are not nice," He said.


"How did you guys meet? " Jimmy asked.


"We met when I first started training for the WWE. Her mom owned the gym I used to work out at. We started to hang out, then we became best friends, and soon we started dating," He said.


"When did y'all break up?" Renee asked.


"We never really broke up. He just up and left." I explained. He looked at me. I looked away.


"What do you mean?" Jon asked.


"Well, the shield just had debuted, and we didn't have time to get used to being apart, so we just drifted," He replied.


I cleared my throat and looked down at Masina, who was falling asleep with her half-eaten cupcake in her hand and decided to use that as my excuse to leave the table before I do something or say something that I would regret.


"Welp, guys, it looks like Masina wants to take a nap, so we'll be in Brock's locker room," I said, getting up and carrying Masina out of catering.


I carried Masina to Brock's locker room.


Once inside, I laid Masina down on the couch and sat down. Why would Joe lie like that? He left me. We didn't drift apart. He didn't want me. I can't believe I was in love with him. God, I still love him.


I looked up at the flat-screen TV in Brock's locker room and saw a match between Summer and Natalya. There was a knock on the door. "Open," I said. Danica walks in.


"Hey girl," Danica says.


"I can't believe you're pregnant," I said, shocked.


"I know, right. I never thought I would be pregnant, but here I am carrying Brock's baby," she says, laughing.


"You guys are so cute together," I said.


"You and Joe were cuter," She said.


"Don't you dare start that bullshit," I said, rolling my eyes.


"Come on, and you guys were like peanut butter and jelly. I know what he did was fucked up, but as your friend, I can tell you still love him, and I know if he walks through the door and asked you to take him back, you would say yes. Did you even tell him about Masina?" She asked.


Why does she have to be correct?


"Maybe I would, but still he fucked up, and no, I didn't tell him about her," I said.


"To think Joe would be smart to put two and two together. You need to tell him soon." She said.


"I know, but I want to see if he is going to ask about her. " I said.


"And if he doesn't? " she asked.


"Then I'm gonna tell him and be overdramatic like how the females are on Maury," I said.


"Oh God, Joe's your baby daddy. " Summer, are said, walking into the room.


"Summer, get out," Danica yelled.


"I'm so telling. I can't wait for a fight to break out." Summer said, leaving the room.


"You have to tell Joe before her," Danica said.


"Or I could go home. Yup, I'm just going to go home, bye. " I said, bringing Masina in walking towards the parking lot. I finally made it to the car and got in when I see Dean running towards my car. Damn Danica. She had to get Dean to help stop me.


"Get out of the car, Amari, " Dean said.


"No!" I yelled.
"You leave me no choice," Dean said.


Dean tried to get me out of the car, but I didn't have it. I was yelling so much that I overlooked Roman push dean out of the way and pick me up and bring me backstage with Danica and Masina following us. When he finally puts me down, I slapped him. He held his cheek and looked at with shock. I think everybody did, especially the divas and superstars who were standing around.


"You slapped me," he said.


"I know," I said with a smirk.


"Amari, that's not right, I know you haven't forgiven him, but that was not necessary. " Danica said.


After she said, I started feeling bad about slapping him, but I'm not going to apologize.


"Mama," Masina said, trying to reach for me.


Danica put Masina down and starting wobbling towards me. I bend down to pick her up.


"Hey baby, are you okay," I said, speaking in my baby voice.


Masina started laughing and clapping her hand but stopped and looked at Roman before reaching out to Ramon. Roman looked at me as if saying, is it okay to take her. I shooked my head yes.


Roman picked up Masina. "Hey, baby girl," Roman said.


"What's her name," he asked me.


"Masina," I said.


"Masina, you like my hair, " Roman said because Masina was tugging at his hair.


"Ywes," Masina said, giggling.


"Maybe you guys should go into the dressing room, people are staring, and Amari remembers what we talked about, " Danica said before walking away.


We walked to Roman's dressing room, and he pushed the door open for me to go in first.


After he closed the door and sat on the couch with Masina, now playing with Roman face.


"Gets talk about the elephant in the room," he said.


"What elephant? " I said.


"Whose Masina father? " he asked.


"I'm looking right at him, " I said.


"So when were you planning to tell me? " he asked.


"Soon, but I guess it's out now because of Summer Rae," I said.


"So that's the secret. She was going to tell me," he said to himself but still heard it. Oh, she didn't tell him yet.


"I found out I was pregnant a month after you disappeared, but it wasn't confirmed until after. I was planning on telling you, but you had changed your number, and I had lost my job. I had a stressful pregnancy. So I give up on telling you until now. " I said.


"So you give up. You didn't think about missing important things in her  first year of life." He said.


"Leati, it's not like she's your first child, so I think you have seen a child first year," I said.


"That's different Jojo is my firstborn daughter," he said.


"Oh, so that's what you're mad about? Okay, first of all, her full name is Masina Angel Anoa'i. She was born May 27, 2012," I said.


"So you remember and two days after my birthday," he said.


"Yup, and if you handed back my daughter so I could go, that would be nice," I said.


"You mean our daughter, and no, you guys are staying with me tonight," he said.


What the hell?
