Vanessa had learned a lot about herself lately, thanks to Roman's digging and curiosity in everything history related. Vanessa had first learned of her Italian descent, much like Roman's and even though she had learned a lot of Italian lately, she was still very weak in the language but hoped to become better very soon. In time, she knew she would.

Today she and Roman were going to visit a certain ancestor of hers that Roman knew of but had never disclosed. He wanted it to be a secret and so, of course, Vanessa obliged only because it would make Roman happy.

Vanessa was very nervous and had dressed up in a nice outfit. Dark blue skinny jeans with black heels and a black tank top with a short coat to go over the top of it. After examining herself in the mirror, Vanessa popped into Gavyn's room where he and Hannah were helping keep an eye on the twins while they were gone. "We shouldn't be long, are you sure you're going to be okay with this?"

When Hannah insisted that she knew what she was doing, even if Gavyn didn't, Vanessa laughed and made her way downstairs where Roman was waiting. "Okay I guess I'm ready to go then."

"Well let's go then, my sexy lady." Roman said in a suave tone and placed his arms in a lock hold around her hips. Roman wasn't as nearly as dressy as Vanessa. He had a pair of black, Metal Mulisha board shorts on and a white, Affliction tee on. Aviator sunglasses covered his eyes and he had a Fox Racing had twisted backwards on his head. With a crooked, dimpled smile he gently pressed his lips against hers and then pulled away to grab the keys to the Mercedes.

Roman had stepped out the door with his hand in Vanessa's and only pulled away after they had reached the black, convertible car. When Roman moved around to his side, instead of using the door he jumped over the side and then settled into the seat and started the car. The car came to life with a quiet purr and then Roman put it into drive and sped away from the home that they lived in.

This is the proving ground. As the heat begins to rise.
Turn away from yesterday. Tomorrow is in my eyes. Oh!
Nevermore to be held down by the weights against me.
Nevermore to be cast aside. This day is mine!
Even through the darkest days this fire burns always.

"So you going to tell me where we're going yet?" Vanessa questioned as she relaxed back in the leather, passenger seat and glanced out the side window, watching as the scenery passed by them very quickly. "Because walking up to some member of my family and being like hi, how ya doing is making me a little nervous. So who is it?"

Vanessa moved her gaze from the scenery to Roman's face, gauging his reaction and listening, waiting to see what he would say.

"Your momma," Roman responded in a playful tone and then turned the car onto a suburban street and continued down it. When Roman had found the house number that he wrote down as her relatives, he parked the car and then shut it off. "Well, let's go then," Roman added and opened the driver side door to the car, got out, and then closed it. After moving around the hood and then meeting Vanessa they walked up the porch steps together and he knocked on the door lightly.

When a young child, around three or four, answered the door Roman smiled before he spoke. "We're looking for Scarlett Jasper." Roman told the child and chuckled quietly when he ran back through the house screaming for his mother.

"Scarlett Jasper," Vanessa repeated, very confused. She immediately realized she knew that name from somewhere though she wasn't entirely sure where. It seemed very familiar and so she had to ask. "Scarlett...as in Toryn's ex wife, Scarlett?" Vanessa questioned just as they stepped on the front porch of a medium sized suburban home.

When Scarlett heard James running through the house screaming for her, she immediately stepped out into the hallway and scooped him up into her arms. "What in the world are you yelling about?" She questioned her son as he squirmed in her arms and pointed to the door before explaining that someone was at the door for her. Curious, Scarlett made her way to the open front door to see Roman and his newly turned mate at his side. "Well hi there. Wasn't expecting this."

"Hello, Scarlett," Roman started as he reached into the pocket of his board shorts and pulled out a folded up piece of paper that he had printed out. It had the family records of the Jasper family, from the time that Scarlett came back to the country in 1920, to when she got married in the 1940's and had Vanessa's mother in the sixties. Then it even went as far as Vanessa's birth and her mother's marriage to Martin.

"I believe this has something to do with you and Vanessa." Roman explained and then handed Scarlett the unfolded piece of paper with a small grin.

After taking the paper from Roman, Scarlett placed James down on the floor and smiled as he walked away. Scarlett then turned her attention back towards the paper, eyes wide as she glanced from it to Vanessa and back again. "Vanessa, your mother was Camilla Jasper?" Scarlett questioned, in shock that Roman's woman was actually her granddaughter. If she had known about her daughter's offspring, Scarlett would have intervened earlier, seeing as how her daughter had many problems throughout her life.

"Uh, I guess so. Never knew her maiden name before now," Vanessa admitted as Scarlett urged both she and Roman inside. Once the door had been shut behind her, she kept her eyes locked on Scarlett. It was hard to believe this beautiful woman who looked almost the same age as she was actually Vanessa's grandmother.

"And because her mother is currently dead and her father died at a young age, I've come to ask something of you." Roman told Scarlett and then cleared his throat. Vanessa often mocked his old fashioned ways but that's way he was, the time he came from. Scarlett understood that, he was sure of he, and he was also sure that her husband did. From what Roman heard, his nephew wasn't that young to begin with.

"I brought Vanessa here to meet you, but above it all, I came here to ask for your blessing concerning our marriage." Roman told Scarlett as one of his hands slowly moved to find one of Vanessa's.

Scarlett was, first of all, very shocked to discover her granddaughter but that shock came with horrible news of her daughter's death. Camilla hated Scarlett for many things and the two hadn't spoken in years. It was sad news to learn she had died at such a young age. Scarlett blamed Camilla's addictions. Scarlett's thoughts were quickly ripped away from her daughter when Roman asked for her permission to marry Vanessa.

Chuckling, Scarlett glanced between the two before smiling broadly. "You know I give my blessing. I just wish you would have left her human a little longer, Roman," Scarlett scolded somewhat as she stepped forward and placed a hand on the side of Vanessa's face. "I know you don't even know me but I watched you from afar. Camilla hated me and I never even knew of her marriage or your birth."


"Mom hated a lot of people, Scarlett...er grandma," Vanessa said, laughing. "It's just who she was but...Roman had no choice but to change me and we have a family with tons of kids already. We're planning to have the wedding soon. I guess it'll hopefully be even sooner now that he's spoken with you." Vanessa then moved her gaze up to her fiance and gave him an adoring smile.

"Yeah, Vanessa here thinks that children are puppies. Five already, two of our own, Antonio or Atton for short and then Rylan, and three that we adopted, Angelica, Isabelle, and Michael." Roman told Scarlett and smiled a bit wider. "And then there's three of my children from a previous marriage living with us. It's crowded but it's nice, no one is ever alone." Roman explained happily.
