Seth-
Savi was taking Henry a bath, I was dressing Lucas for bed. Ava came running into the room.
"Daddy can you read to me?", she asked.
"I'll be right there sweetheart", I said.
She nodded and went back to her room. Savi passed, Henry in her arms wrapped in a towel.
"Daddy", Lucas said.
I looked back at him and smiled.
"Sorry buddy, let's get you dressed", I said.
I put his shirt on and lifted him. I gently tossed him in his bed and he laughed. I tucked him in and kissed his forehead.
"Goodnight little man", I whispered.
I turned on his night light and closed the door half way. I made my way to Ava's room and she was playing with her dolls.
"Come on kiddo, grab your book and jump into bed", I said.
She smiled and grabbed a book from her shelf, jumping onto her bed and under her covers. I laid beside her and read to her, before I could reach the end she had fallen asleep. I shut the book and put it back on her shelf. I kissed her forehead.
"My princess", I whispered.
I turned off her light and closed the door half way. I slowly made my way to Henry's room. I could hear Savi singing to Henry. I smiled. I leaned against the door frame. She turned and saw me. She looked back down at Henry. She laid him in his crib and walked out with me.
"Hi", I said softly.
"Hey", she returned.
"You coming to bed?", I asked.
She was living here with me, but in a different bedroom. She bit her lip and I stepped towards her, backing her up into the wall behind her.
"How was your day?", I asked.
"Good, busy at work", she said.
"Why is it so hard for you to talk to me? You always had so much to say", I said.
"I'm sorry, this is still hard for me. I understand that those photos weren't your fault, but I just can't help to think about what she did to you after those photos. You were unconscious and you still haven't remembered anything", she said.
I nodded.
"I wish I knew so I could ease your mind. You don't need to be thinking about that", I said.
"But you should. She might have raped you or do you not care", she said.
"Of course I care sweetheart, because my body belongs to you and if she did", I stopped.
I sighed.
"Is that why you don't want to share a bed or be intimate with me?", I asked.
"That's not it", she said.
"I heard no complaining in Paris", I smirked and let my finger gently slide down her cheek.
She smiled and blushed.
"Yes, I made you blush", I teased.
She laughed, looking up at me.
"You told me to forget everything that happened and I did, for a week I felt like things were back to normal and then", she stopped.
She looked down sadly.
"I love you", I said.
"And I love you, but cheating isn't something I can just get over because you apologized or took me to Paris. If you really want us to stay together and work, give me time", she said.
I nodded.
"Do you have school tomorrow night?", I asked.
"Yeah, you dropping me off?", she asked.
I nodded.
"And picking you up. Maybe take you out on a romantic walk on the beach, a little cuddling, and making out. You touch me and I touch you", she laughed and playfully pushed me.
I smiled.
"I'm proud of you, you know", I said.
"Why?", she asked.
"For going back to school. I know you've always wanted to do that. Maybe after you could become a nurse, you couldn't before but now you have me. I can watch the kids", I said.
"Really, but that's gonna take up most of my time and I can't do that to the kids or you", she said.
"Hey, I don't want you to think about us. These are your dreams, your goals and I'm your husband, I've got your back", I said.
"Thank you", she smiled.
She hugged me, I kissed her cheek.
"You followed me to Iowa and on the road, you were there for some of my biggest accomplishments. You cheered me on and had my back, you put everything on hold for me and now it's my turn", I said.
"What are you saying?", she asked.
"I'm giving up my title. I'm gonna take some much needed time off", I said.
"Colby", I stopped her.
"I'm doing this because I need too. My family is the most important thing to me, my focus right now needs to be on my babies and my wife", I said.
I kissed her forehead.
"You don't need to worry about this, it's what I want. Besides, I'm Seth Freakin Rollins, I can win it back any time", I said.
She smiled.
"If you're really sure about this then I'll support you", she said.
I nodded.
"The Divas miss you and the kids. They're wondering when you're coming back", I said.
"Maybe the next pay per view", she said.
I nodded. I kissed her nose and she smiled.
"Mr. Lopez you are getting closer to my lips", she said.
"That's my plan", I said.
I licked my lips and looked her in the eyes. She nodded lightly. I gently pressed my lips to hers. I pulled away a bit and sighed.
"Tell me you missed that too", I whispered.
She nodded.
"Can I kiss you again?", I asked.
"I'd be mad if you don't", she whispered.
I smiled and pressed my lips to hers. She wrapped her arms around my neck. I groaned, my fingers sliding under her shirt and feeling her warm skin. I didn't push for more. I rested my forehead against hers, her arms still around my neck.
"Come to our bed? I won't push you, I just want to feel you near me again, to wake up to your beautiful face", I whispered.
"Colby", she said softly.
"Savi, please", I said.
She sighed.
"Okay", she nodded.
I smiled and kissed her again.
"I love you so much baby", I said.
"Love you too", she said.
I picked her up and carried her to our room. She giggled.
"Colby", she said.
"I'm officially your slave, whatever you want I'll do", I said.
I leaned in closer to her ear.
"In and out of clothes", I whispered.
She bit her lip and I laid her on our bed.
"I'm gonna go make sure the house is locked up", I said.
She nodded and I walked out, making sure each door was locked and each window shut. Going back to our bedroom, Savi was under the covers. I took my shirt off and tossed it in the hamper, laying on my side.
"No funny business", she said.
I held my hands up.
"None, like I said, I just want you near me", I said.
I turned off the light and moved closer to her, wrapping my arms around her. I kissed her shoulder.
"This feels like home", I whispered.
Savannah-
I had to wake up to take the kids to school. I turned over and Colby was gone. I sat up.
"Colby?", I called.
The bedroom door opened and he walked in.
"Hey, just getting Ava her breakfast and the boys dressed", he said.
"Thank you, I can't believe I almost overslept", I said, laying back down.
"Don't worry about it, I can drop her off and you stay home with the boys. I'll be back in time before you have to leave to work", he said.
I nodded. He leaned down to kiss me.
"I'll be back", he said.
I nodded, he stood and walked out. I yawned and finally stood, Lucas was playing with his toys in the living room and Henry was watching him from his chair. Lucas would give Henry a toy.
"Not in your mouth Lucas", I said.
I walked into the kitchen and Colby had set a plate of food on the counter. I reheated it and ate, putting it on the news. A few minutes later I heard him pull in and he walked into the house.
"I hope you enjoyed your breakfast", he said, sitting beside me.
He stole a piece of bacon off my plate. I turned in my seat and held the plate out to him, we both ate off it.
"So you really mean what you said last night?", I asked.
"What part?", he asked.
"I'm hoping all of it", I said.
He chuckled.
"Yes sweetheart, I meant every word", he said.
I smiled.
