They stared at him for a little while not saying anything, I got nervous. Roman had stood back next to me the less he moved the more I started freaking out.
"Times certainly change," Sika said softly. "You have a husband?" he asked looking at me.
"Yes, sir." I said strongly.
"And he is fine with this?"
"It's a shock to everybody, but Dean and I are working through it." I said honestly
"And you did this to Ellen?" Sika said turning his attention to Roman.
"Not intentionally," Roman said.
"How can this happen unintentionally?" he asked. I looked up at Roman who looked mortified.
"Ellen and my husband were making out, Roman and I were making out, we all agreed that there were no rules for that one night," I spilt. "Roman and I remember agreeing not to do anything, but woke up naked." I said hating that I had to tell this again I knew it wouldn't be the last time either. "We assumed we didn't do anything," I admitting, realizing how it all made sense when you thought about it. "When I gave birth to Seth everything was fine, until Roman came to visit and well. . . here we are," I said letting out a nervous laugh. Seth started stirring.
"He is just like Leati was when he was a baby," Patricia said, Leati was Roman's real name, he shared the same one as his father for some reason I didn't know, they used their second name.
"This is a shock" Sika said honestly, "There is so many things running through my mind"
"Yeah, we understand," Roman said sitting on the couch, I followed in suit.
"When was he born?" Patricia asked.
"Tuesday morning ma'am," I said honestly.
"It was natural,"
"Yes,"
"So you are still sick?"
"I'm doing okay," I smiled.
"You must take care of her, son." Patricia said standing.
"I know Mom,"
"She may not be your wife, but she gave us this precious gift," she said placing Seth in Roman's arms.
"I know," Roman said softly, I looked up at him and smirked. I would have to use that one on him later.
"You," Patricia said walking over to me. "We thank you, our grandson, our blood,"
"You're welcome." I smiled.
"You bring your husband here, we make him food."
"Sorry?"
"You tell your husband to come around, he can have dinner with us."
"He's back in Orlando," I smiled. "I'll bring him next time we bring Seth to Visit."
We sat in silence for a while, no one knew what to say, these people were strangers to me, I wondered what they were thinking or feeling. Suddenly Roman's dad got up and walked out of the room.
"is this normal?" I whispered
"No," Roman laughed.
"They're in shock, it's normal for them to go quiet when they're in shock,"
"Should I go?"
"no," he smiled his massive shiney smile. "Just be your self."
"But if you want to spend time with your family, I can go down to the beach or call Dean or something, I don't mind."
"Fly, it's okay." He laughed. "just relax, they're your family now too,"
I smiled for a second then looked down to Seth who was awake for a change looking around the room. I'd bet he was so scared, all the tension around everywhere and having been in a million different situations.
"Hey little man, it's okay," I smiled he looked up at me. "It's so cool to actually see him awake." I said to Roman.
"Hey son!" he said happily.
"He's pretty cute," I admitted.
"Yeah, he definitely got my looks,"
"What I'm not cute?" I laughed. "I think my husband would disagree,"
There was a lot of noise at the door then a big guy about Dean's height and double his size walked in.
"Hey Ro and Ambrose's wife. . . " he said his smile quickly fading, "What's going on?" he asked my stomach sank, I'd met Rosey – his name was Matthew but, we called him Rosey – a bunch of times, he'd known I was with Dean for a long time, anybody who knew how crazy we both were and how impossible it was for us to settle down, knew that once we actually got together, there was no breaking us. We were quiet literally made for each other, he knew it, I knew it and everybody who knew us knew it.
I watch as Roman stood taking Seth off me, he walked over to his older brother. "Meet your nephew," Roman said. Both men looked down at my son, Rosey took a quick look at Seth then looked at Roman, then to me.
"You're kidding right?" he asked.
"No," Roman and I said at the same time,
"Just look at him," I said, "He's Roman to a T"
Rosey took a deep Breath and rose his eyebrows. "Your both idiots." He snapped. "How could you do this to Dean?" he stepped away from Roman and looked at me. "Do you have any idea how much that kid loves you?" he yelled. I knew, I did. "Do you have any idea how excited he was for this kid?"
"Bro, calm down." Roman said taking a step forward.
"No," Rosey yelled, "Dean was his own worst enemy until he met you, he thought he'd met some one who got him, every part of him."
"Matt, you're crossing the line." Roman said. Seth started crying.
"No, Roman its okay," I said softly standing to my feet. "I know I fucked up, I know what I could lose, I'm just so glad after six days some one has actually had the guts to tell me how much I have fucked up."
"What's going on in here?" Patricia asked storming up to her sons. "We have to keep calm with this child around." She said taking the screaming child from Roman. "Seth is a gift, an unexpected gift from this woman, we must thank her and respect her," she said walking off hushing Seth.
