"Thank's Randy," Seth smiled at the elder man as he took the bag offered. "This is really helpful."
"No problem, Alana picked them out herself," The Viper smirked. "She wants to know when they can have a play date." Both men laughed lightly.
"Hopefully soo, Sarah still isn't talking. Maybe someone her age will make her alittle more comfortable." Randy peeked over the smaller man's shoulder and grinned.
"Looks like she's plenty comfortable already." He nodded his head towards the sleeping girl curled up on a stretched out Roman's stomach, she barely took up any room.
"Yeah she was messing with his hair earlier," Seth smiled and turned back to Randy. "She refused to even acknowledge the Social worker they had down at the station, she liked Officer Turner alot and would draw pictures of what happened but she just did not want anything to do with the other woman."
"Kids are picky, she probably didn't like how the Social worker was asking so many questions. Alana is in the phase full of one word answers." Randy rolled his eyes but gave Seth another smile. "Let me know if you need anything else."
"Thanks again," Seth sighed and closed the door, Sarah's head popped up from her spot on the Samoan. The slam of the door had startled her. "Shhh it's okay baby, I'm sorry, it was just Randy with some clothes for you." She peered at the bag in his hand warily, still skiddish around them. "He has a daughter your age and she picked these outfits for you special."
Roman grumbled something in his sleep and Sarah gave a giggle before slipping off of his middle, padding over to the two toned man and peeking into the bag. Seth smiled and pulled out several shirts and pants Randy had brought, letting Sarah pick which one she wanted to wear. She was still in the dirty blood stained clothes from earlier, they had been at the police station for 3 hours before they sent them home and she had yet to have a bath.
"I'm gonna get the bath ready," Seth told her softly and stood to leave. "Dean will be back from shopping with Natalya soon, he'll have some new clothes for you but until then pick your favortie." She nodded and held up a green shirt and dark blue shorts.
Dean came back in time to see Seth helping the small child dry off and Roman perched near by attentively, Nattie was behind and she gasped in joy, she loved kids. "Oh she's adorable!" Sarah flinched at the loud noise and hid behind Roman's leg. "Oh sorry, Sweetheart. You're just so cute I couldn't help myself, we got you lot's of cute clothes here." Roman smiled at the ecentric woman and patted Sarah on the head.
"It's okay, honey, Natalya is a nice woman, she's just alittle hyper." The little girl smiled but didn't go forward to meet the blonde. "Nattie can you and Dean go put the bags in the living room? I'll help her get dressed." Nattie nodded and sent the child an apologetic look before leaving with Dean and Seth.
"I know meeting new people is tough but we won't let anyone mean near you, I promise." He said slowly to her as she struggled into her shirt but refused his help, finally she got her head through and grinned up at him proudly. "God you're almost grown, don't need my help." He praised and picked her up to carry her out to the others.
"I swear Dean, you don't know how to shop for children," Natalya teased, pinching the man's cheek before he snapped his teeth at her. Sarah saw that and began imitating it, clacking her teeth at Nattie. "Aw looks just like you three."
"She's not ours," Seth reminded her, Nattie rolled her eyes.
"I know that, but look she's pale like dean, black hair like Roman, and don't tell me her eyes don't look just like yours, Seth." The blonde pointed to the child sitting. "And she even has a mouth like Deans and Roman's nose."
"Now that you mention it," Dean said thoughtfully but didn't finish his sentence.
"I'm telling you if people don't know any better she could pass as your kid." Nattie stated and stood up. "Well I need to go, me and Alicia have a date tonight. If you ever need a baby sitter, I'd be more than happy to help. If that's alright with Sarah of course." She looked down at the brunette and smiled sweetly, Sarah for her part smiled back and nodded. "Cool."
The rest of the afternoon was spent getting aquanted with Sarah, coloring with her, asking her questions, and playing games with her. By the time it came to get ready for Monday night Raw they didn't know what to do with her. "Maybe we could ask Nattie to watch her?" Seth offered.
"No she won't be there tonight, what about Orton?" Dean said.
"He has that match." Roman sighed, Sarah was napping against his side. "Why don't we just take her with us? We only have a quick segment with the Uso's and Mark Henry then we'll be out."
"Don't you think that is kinda dangerous?" Seth piped up. "Some of those guys are like ticking time bombs."
"She'll be fine for a few minutes, maybe leave her with Stephanie and Hunter, they like kids." Dean agreed with the elder man. Seth sighed but finally nodded and moved to nudge the young girl.
"Wake up, Sarah-Baby. We gotta go to work." Sarah blinked blearily up at him and nodded absentmindedly. "You'll come with us and get to see us beat people up." She smiled lightly and stood, holding onto Seth's hand.
The drive there was Roman driving, Dean in the passenger seat and Seth back seat with Sarah playing with his hair. Dean was lazily holding Roman's hand, rubbing his thumb along the palm, Sarah was staring at the linked hands glancing between both men. She got an unreadable look and grabbed Seth's wrist, he didn't say anything, and brought him forward to his hand rested on top of the other men's.
Roman looked back at her through the mirror but didn't argue and wrapped his large hand to fit both of his smaller lover's. Dean just smiled and sent her a wink, Seth was staring at her curiously as she sat back with a smile and watched the scenery pass by. Her eyes were wide when they reached the arena, it was huge compared to them and she had never been to such a large building.
They saw several superstars back stage getting ready for the show, Brad Maddox smiled at the group and asked if they needed anything special brought to the lockeroom for her, they declined. The Divas went nuts over the child and she nearly had a panic attack before Dean snapped at them to leave her alone. Vicki was in a better mood when they brought her to the office, stooping down to talk to her and ask if she had watched wrestling before, she hadn't. The most bizarre encounter was with Ryan Reeves.
The Ryback persona was deeply embeded in the man's personality and he was trying to get into character for the show, deep breathing and growling at the staff that walked by, they were used to it and no one took his attitude to heart. Sarah was sitting on a crate near Roman and Dean eating a snack as they waited for Seth to finish talking with one of the stage hands, he was always kind to the workers back stage, when she spotted him in the corner. He was muttering his 'Ryback Rules' under his breath and pacing, she couldn't stop watching him.
Roman didn't notice her slip from the crate to creep over to him, peering up at him with wide eyes, the pacing man didn't see her at first and nearly steped on her because of it. She let out a squeack and dodged out of his path, he leaped back in shock and stumbled over his feet for a moment. When he regained his composure he glared down at her, Roman noticed the situation as did his lovers.
"What is she doing?" Seth gasped and started to go over there, Roman stopped him.
"Give it a minute, he'll get pissed if you go over there yelling and we can't afford a fighting back stage." He reasoned so they stood and watched.
Ryan was mad, the little girl had interrupted his ritual and now she was just staring up at him with wide brown eyes. Slowly she raised her hand up to his face, holding a chocolate cookie, he blinked in surprise and pulled back slightly. He hadn't expected the offering, she had a bag full of cookies in her other tiny hand. Gingerly he took the treat and bit into it, she smiled widely and pulled out another cookie from her bag, muching along with him.
The giant smiled down at her glancing up to see the Shield watching them closely, he glared and snorted through his nose threateningly, Sarah noticed this and turned to see her caregivers. She smiled and waved at them, they waved back catiously, smiling up at the large man once more before running back to the Shield. Ryan watched her go before swallowing the last of the cookie. Seth picked up the child when she reached him and set her on his hip protectively.
"See ya later kid." Ryan muttered when he passed the group, not bothering to acknowledge the team but nodded at the Sarah and patting her on the head. The little brunette stared after him with an awestruck smile on her face.
"Is it just me or does she have a crush on Ryback?" Seth looked at his boyfriends in disbelief.
"Nope," Dean muttered.
