Present-

Hall Of Fame 2016-

Just breathe, she told herself. Amaya wasn't ready for this, but she had no choice. She had signed the contract, there was no going back. Hunter would tell everyone here that she was back and that she was the surprise fourth Diva or is it woman now, in the title match at WrestleMania.

How they managed to keep her a secret from the fans, she had no clue. Everyone wanted to know and had taken guesses, none were right. Maybe because she had said in an interview that she would never go back to working with WWE.

It was nothing against them, it was him. After what happened between them and how he left her, she just couldn't go back. Now, here she was, standing backstage in a room with her boyfriend and possible step dad to her daughter, Malia. Her heels clicked on the floor as she paced.

"Love, please sit down. You're making me nervous", Finn said.

She took a deep breath and faced him.

"I'm sorry, I'm just so nervous. I don't know how everyone is going to react. The only Diva who still talks to me is Paige.", she said.

"Because you talk to her. The others have tried calling, but you don't answer", he said.

It's been three years since everything went down. Since she left, or more like they kicked her out of the company. They had sent Finn to meet with her and try to convince her to come back to WWE. Every time he did, she sent him away. Although the last time he went looking for her, he stayed.

He knew who Malia's father was and he never judged her for her past. He had fallen in love with her, but he wasn't quiet sure of her feelings towards him. Yes, she had said she loved him, but did she mean it?

Someone knocked and they both turned towards the slowly opening door. Hunter smiled.

"You ready to do this?", he asked Amaya.

She swallowed and nodded.

"I'm going to go on stage and discuss how epic this Divas match is. Then I'll remind them of the fourth unknown person in the match. Your music will hit and you'll step out", he said to her.

She was wringing her hands and nodded. Hunter placed his hands on her shoulders and she released the breath she was holding.

"You're going to do great Amaya. You've always been able to handle situations like this, under pressure.", Hunter reminded her.

He sent a nod to Finn. Finn stood and placed his hand on Amaya's back.

"I love you Amaya, see you out there", he said, kissing her cheek.

"I love you too", she replied.

Sometimes she didn't even know if she meant it in a romantic way or a friendly, I care about you way. He smiled and left with Hunter. After a few minutes alone, she walked out of the room. Robbie, Hunter's personal assistant was leaning back against the wall, tapping away on his phone.

He looked up and smiled, shoving his phone into his pocket.

"Ready Ms. Mendez?", he asked.

"As I'll ever be", she replied.

He nodded and walked down the hall with her towards the stage.

"How's your sister, April?", he asked.

"Good, I mean she's a little pissed at me for accepting to come back here, but honestly, I needed closure with this company. I never got it", she said.

He smiled. Robbie was her first friend here and they remained friends after she left.

"Well I'm sure as hell happy that you're back. He might not be, but only because of his family and wife", he said.

Amaya glanced at Robbie.

"Is he here, with her?", she asked.

He sent her a sad smile before nodding a yes. She swallowed again, hoping they weren't sitting front row. She knew his wife was going to blow once she saw her.

"I know you've all been waiting for me to tell you who this mystery Diva is and now I'll tell you", she heard Hunter say.

She closed her eyes and prayed that this went well, opening them.

"You're going to do great", Robbie said, beside her.

Her song hit, 'Cherry Bomb' by The Runaways.

You could hear the fans chanting yes. She smiled and stepped onto the stage and walked over to Hunter. He clapped and then hugged her. Looking out into the crowd, she saw him. He wasn't smiling and he wasn't angry, shocked maybe, surprised. His wife looked at him and then back at Amaya. His family had the same expression.

She felt a panic attack coming and then Hunter squeezed her shoulder.

"Breathe. They have no say in you working here. If they have a problem with it, Roman can leave the company. You have a right to work here too", he whispered.

Amaya knew he was right and searched the crowd for her boyfriend. Seeing that beautiful smile of his, she smiled.

"Maya Lee", Hunter announced.

The crowd chanted Welcome Back.

Roman was stunned. He swallowed and just like every other time he saw her, he couldn't take his eyes off of her. Valerie nudged him and he looked away as Hunter announced Amaya was back.

"Did you know?", Valerie asked.

Roman shook his head no. Why now? He and Valerie had just gotten to a good place. She trusted him again when he left for work, they were planning for another baby. They were happy-ish, he told himself. He was happy, but not as happy as you were with her, his heart told him.

Looks like his pretending is over. He laughed inside and he knew those were all lies, lies built on top of more lies.

"They should have told you something. They know that you and her", Valerie stopped, she couldn't even finish that sentence.

Her husband had cheated on her, but she wasn't about to let him go without a fight. No matter how many times he told her it was over. This whole thing with her and Roman might not be real, but it was to her and she wasn't going to let Amaya take it from her.

"Its their company Val, I can't tell them who to hire and who not too. She was a big hit here, the fans love her, they wanted her back", Roman defended.

Valerie looked away from him, tears welling up in her eyes. He sighed and rubbed his forehead. He could see his dad taking looks at Val.

"If I'm correct, knowing that she and I", he swallowed and looked at his wife.

Valerie looked at him.

"They won't let us near each other, trust me. If the rumors are true about the brand spilt, they will make sure she and I aren't on the same one.", he said.

Valerie nodded lightly. There was nothing they could do, she knew that and had to accept Amaya was back. Roman turned when he felt someone looking at him. Dean, his best friend and brother.

"Did you know?", Dean mouthed to him.

Roman shook his head no. Dean stood and walked across the room, he had spotted Amaya and wanted to hug her. He knew Dean cared about Amaya like a sister. He also noticed Finn Balor walk over to them and place his hand on Amaya's back.

Amaya smiled at him and he kissed her cheek. He meet Roman's eyes before looking at Dean and talking to him.

"Looks like she's moved on too", his brother Matt whispered in his ear.

He looked over his shoulder at his older brother. Matt knew Roman wasn't over Amaya. He was in love with her, but because their family didn't believe in divorce, there was nothing he could do.

"You alright?", Valerie asked, placing her hand on his chest.

He looked at her and smiled.

"All good, just talking to Matt", Roman said.

Valerie nodded.

Amaya didn't even want to look over at them, feeling them all looking at her.

"How have you been Maya?", Dean asked.

"Good, happy. You know Finn", Amaya said, introducing them.

Dean nodded, hands in his pockets.

"Are you two dating?", Dean asked.

Finn and Amaya nodded.

"Its going to be a year", Finn said.

"That's cool, I'm glad you're happy Yaya", Dean said, using her nickname.

Amaya kissed Finn's cheek.

"You and I need to have lunch and talk. I've tried calling and I've sent messages to you through Paige. Did she not give you any of them?", Dean asked.

Amaya had ignored his calls and Paige gave her each of his messages, but she was embarrassed. After it got out what happened between her and Roman, she couldn't face any of them.

"I got them Dean", she said softly.

"I'm your friend too Yaya, not just his. I missed you, you even moved on me babe", he said, frustrated.

Finn squeezed her.

"I was embarrassed, okay. Some of the Divas were sending me messages calling me a whore and I just, I knew what you would say and I'm sorry Dean", she said.

He sighed and hugged her again.

"You're like my little sister, kid, it hurt when you ignored me.", he whispered.

She hugged him tight and nodded against his shoulder.

"I missed you too and I'm sorry again", she said, before pulling away from him.

She saw Paige coming her way with her mom. Finn and Paige were the only ones who knew about Malia. Besides her sister and Punk.

"Have you heard anything from Seth?", Amaya asked.

Seth has been trying to get in touch with her as well, but just like Dean, she ignored him.

"Yeah, he's in town. He was going to come, but he's bummed out he's missing Mania you know", Dean said.

Amaya nodded and Paige hugged her.

"My lovely, you did great", Paige said.

"Thanks Paige", Amaya said, hugging her back.

"Big idiot doesn't stop staring at you", she whispered in her ear.

Amaya was glad Paige didn't say that out loud, especially with Finn here. The Bella twins joined the group and hugged Amaya. She was surprised to see Dean hug and kiss Nikki. Dean winked at her.

"I told you, we have a lot to talk about", he said.

Robbie came over.

"They want you all to take your seats now", he said to them.

Everyone nodded and left. Finn took her hand and pulled her to their seats. Her eyes couldn't help it, she glanced to the side and saw he was looking at her too. A small smile graced his face and she couldn't help the smile that formed on hers.

She also couldn't stop her thoughts from drifting to the past. Their past.
