Dean woke up the next morning to an empty bed. Seth wasn't there and he assumed Roman slept on the couch all night. He still wasn't sure how he was going to apologize to his boyfriends about his actions the day before but he had to think of something. He felt so bad about putting his hands on Seth like that. He sat up on the edge of the bed and replayed what happened. From the minute he was laying in bed with Roman, to when Seth walked in as happy as he could ever be, and lastly to when he put his hands on his lover. He shook his head and buried his face in the palm of his hands.

"You're awake.'' Dean turned around and saw Roman leaning against the door frame.

"Umm, yeah.'' he rubbed his eyes from the tears that were getting ready to fall. "I'm sorry.'' he mumbled. "About what happened last night.''

Roman walked over to the bed and sat next to his lover. He wrapped his arm around his shoulder and brought Dean closer to his body. Dean immediately responded and buried his face in Roman's neck; wrapping his arms around the Samoan tightly. "I know you're sorry. I'm not the one you should be apologizing to though.'' Roman knew that the dirty blonde didn't mean to hit Seth. Dean always tended to react before even know what he was doing. He could easily see how regretful he was being.

"Where is he?'' the U.S. champion sniffled and looked up to see those grey eyes that were so mesmerizing.

"In the kitchen, making breakfast.''

Dean nodded then his gaze moved to the nightstand. There was a picture of all three of them along with Lucy. It was at a fun event that took place at the orphanage. Dean remembered how much fun they all had. He had to admit that was the first time he saw them as an actually family. He loved the feeling that time and he wanted to feel it again. That picture just added more motivation to what Dean was planning on doing. "I'll go talk to him. I love you.'' Dean smiled. Roman was always the reasonable one and always put the other two on check whenever there was a fight. He was so understanding and Dean loved that about him. He had the same amount of love for Seth but they just got into arguments sometimes. That was still his Sethie though and he loved him to death. He stood up and was heading for the kitchen but Roman grabbed his hand and pulled him down to sit on his lap.

"No good morning kiss?'' the Samoan pouted. Dean smiled and leaned in to kiss him passionately. Roman sighed into the kiss in satisfaction. When they pulled apart, he kissed Dean's neck, knowing that he loved that. "Go talk to him.''

Dean got off his lap and walked out the room and over to the kitchen. Seth was facing away from him, making breakfast on the stove. He walked over and approached Seth from behind slowly, making sure not to startled the younger man. Wrapping his arms around his waist slowly, he already felt the smaller body tense up. Seth stopped what he was doing and closed his eyes when he felt Dean push his hair to the side and kiss his neck softly. He felt his whole body shiver in the arms of Dean.

"Seth...Sethie, I'm so sorry.'' he whispered in his ear. Dean sniffled again and rested his chin on top of his lover's shoulder. "I didn't mean to hit you like that, I regret it really. Please, forgive me. I promise I will never do that to you again. I will never put my hands on you or Roman like that ever again.'' He turned Seth around so he look into his eyes. "Open your eyes baby. Please. I made a mistake and I need your forgiveness'' Seth took a deep breath but kept his eyes remained closed.

Dean brought a hand up to caress the same cheek that had connect with his palm so intensely the day before. He pecked that same cheek with his lips over and over. It was as if he was trying to take the pain away with his lips. He felt Seth relax a bit so he pulled away. Seth slowly opened his brown eyes and instantly locked them with Dean's blue ones. "I'm so sorry Seth. Believe it or not, I want Lucy to be our daughter just as much as you do. Just give it a little bit of time. At least until our schedules slow down. Yeah?''

The tears began to fall from Seth's eyes as he heard Dean's honest words. For some reason the two-tones man could always tell when his lovers were lying. In this case, he could sense that Dean was being sincere. "I'm sorry too.'' he finally spoke up.

"No, there's no reason for you to be sorry. You were right about me being scared but within time that fear will be gone. I promise baby.'' Dean kissed his cheek again and then trailed his lips to his neck, pressing them to the sensitive skin lightly.

"I forgive you.'' Seth smiled. He could never stay mad at Dean or Roman for too long. This had been the biggest argument yet but it still wasn't enough to keep them apart for too long. Nothing ever could. He loved his boys way too much.

In the afternoon, Dean had told Roman and Seth that he was going to stop by the store to buy some cigarettes. They volunteered to go with him but Dean said he wouldn't take that long. The thing was that he wasn't going to the store in the first place; he was going to visit Lucy. He hated lying but he just wanted some alone time with the 6-year-old.

He got to the orphanage and signed it quickly. Everybody was used to him visiting there so it was fairly easy to get through. He walked up the stairs of the two-story building and reached Lucy's room. He knocked and the little girl opened up; screaming when she saw Dean standing there.

"Dean! Dean!'' she ran up to him and hugged him.

He chuckled and got on his knee to hug her properly. "Hi Lucy.'' he easily wrapped his arms around her petite body and kissed her forehead. "You look so pretty; like always. Is it me or is your hair growing more by the minute. Huh?'' Lucy just chuckled in response shyly. "Wanna walked around the yard and talk?''

"Okay!'' Lucy grabbed his hand and dragged him down the stairs and walked to the back of the building where there was a big yard. It was filled with other kids. Some where playing with each other while others talked to couple who were also looking to adopt a child.

"So Lucy, what have you done lately around here?'' they began to walk still hand in hand.

"I painted a picture yesterday! And then I played with the new toys that they bought us! Hey, where is Seth and Roman?'' Lucy stopped walking and pouted.

"They couldn't make it today pumpkin. But they'll come and see you soon okay? I promise all three of us will come together next week alright?''

"Okay!'' Lucy smiled again. Dean tapped her nose with his index finger and smiled back.

"Mr. Ambrose, it's good to see you again.'' Dean turned around and saw the lady that was in charge of all the adoptions standing there with a smile on her face.

"Ms. Guerrero, how are you?''

"I'm great thank you. Umm, hey Lucy why don't you go to the activities area and grab the picture you painted so you can show Dean.'' Lucy nodded and ran back inside. "So, Seth and Roman couldn't make it today?''

"Umm no, we're all coming next week though when we come back from work.''

"I see. Seth came by yesterday and I gave him the adoption papers. I had told him that all you guys needed to was fill them out and get them back to me so we could start the process. Did he tell you that?''

"Umm, yeah he did actually.'' Dean was about continue but Ms. Guerrero spoke up frist.

"Okay there's sort of an issue. After he left another couple came to see the children and they really got along very well with Lucy.'' she gave Dean almost a sympathetic look. "Acutally, they have been coming for a while now and Lucy is the one that they have been speaking to the most.''

"So?'' Dean furrowed his eyesbrows. He was curious and concerned at the same time.

"Yesterday, that couple let me know that they want to adopt Lucy as well.''
