"Roman! Roman! Roman!" Paparazzi and gossip channels swarmed Roman outside of the airport.

"Are you and Luciana getting a divorce?!"

"What are you talking about man?" Roman asked, clearly annoyed.

"Inside sources say you and your wife have been off to a rocky start of your marriage!"

"Dancing with the stars top dancer Artem, is apparently getting close with your wife! How do you feel about this?"

"You guys need to stop making up stories for a paycheck" Roman rolled his eyes. "We're fine. That's my wife and we're not getting a divorce."

"Hey," Roman walked in their hotel room.

Ever since the comment he made, things have been awkward between them. She was hurting and he knew it.

"Hey," She looked up from her phone. "What's in the bag?"

"Some things for you actually." He said and sat down next to her. "Here."

She looked at him curiously and opened the bag. "You got me food and??"

Roman grabbed the gift at the bottom and unwrapped it for her. It was quite big. A picture he had made for them.

Luciana leaned over him to get a better look at the picture. Tears filled her eyes. How did they get to this place? A month ago, they were extremely happy.

"You made this?" She finally spoke

"You made this?" She finally spoke.

"Yeah," Roman smiled and looked at her. "I know I've been a jerk.. An asshole... An idiot. Truth is, I don't know what battle you're fighting, and that's what bothers me. It kills me that I can't take the pain away... And I'm afraid, that I'll fail you. I want you to talk to me about what he did, I want you to open up to me. Cause when you relapsed," he began to cry. "For a split second, it was like you were dead. And I didn't know what I would do if you were gone, I was there. I was there with you and I should've known something was gonna happen when you had the first nightmare. I should've done something.."

Luciana stayed quiet for a few minutes. Finally she moved everything and sat in front of him. "When I relapsed with you, I was in this other world... I was with my dad and he said he had been watching over me. He said he really likes you and that you're apparently my healer.. I even got to see Luca."

"You did?" Roman smiled. "I bet he looks like you."

Luciana nodded through her tears. "Yeah, my dad says he's my twin."

"We haven't really talked about kids..." Roman said. "I definitely want children, especially with you. But, if you're not wanting to take that risk and try, I understand."
