At the airport, while waiting to board the plane, Seth stands up, trying desperately not to cry and try to get rid of some nervous energy he had building inside him.
Roman watches Seth closely, probably a good thing too. Seth paces a bit, not really paying attention to his body, because all he could think about was Dean, suddenly his legs gave out and if not for Roman, Seth would've hit the floor. Roman grabbed him around the waist and helps him to sit down in their seats.
Roman knows Seth is very nervous and anxious to see Dean, after all these years. He also knows that Seth has never gotten over Dean either after their big blow up and after having left WWE.
Seth started drinking heavily for about five years. At least Marek, Seth's best friend and business partner, made sure Seth's assets were safe and kept the academy going. If Marek hadn't talked Seth into signing his power of attorney until he got himself together, Seth would be penniless. Roman was very thankful for Marek.
While waiting, their flight was called, ready to board. They picked up their bags, Seth's hands shaking slightly, as if he were meeting his soon-to-be wife of a prearranged marriage for the first time! Sitting on the plane next to Roman, all Seth could think about was Dean, as he stared out the window and cried.
All Roman could do was be the big brother and friend he's always been, and comfort Seth, holding his hand, squeezing it gently to reassure him he's there for him. Seth looks over at Roman and asks, "Do you think he will ever wanna see or talk to me?" "Seth," Roman says in his big brother tone of voice, "You're just gonna have to be strong, and give Dean time to get use to being around us again. You know better than anybody how resentful and stubborn he can be, holding onto a grudge as long as he can." Seth quietly turned back to the window, staring out as his tears flowed freely.
Seth and Roman finally touched down at the Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City. As they picked up their luggage, and headed for the exit, Seth called the hospital to get information on hotels located close to the hospital. they got in cab and go to a hotel, checked in and leave their things in their room. Roman emerges from the bathroom, refreshed from their flight from Florida.
He walks over to Seth, wraps his arms around him as Seth continues staring, this time, out the balcony door. Roman plants a soft, gentle kiss on Seth's neck and quietly asks, "You ready to go and see your soulmate?" Seth nods and they leave the hotel and head for the hospital.
When they got there and found Dean's room number, they take the elevator up to the ICU unit and speak to the charge nurse on the floor. She checked Dean's chart, making sure Seth and Roman were on the list, of course they're listed as the emergency contacts, after showing their ID's, they are shown to Dean's room.
Roman starts to go in, looks back at Seth as he anxiously gathers himself, then nods to Roman that he's ready. They go into Dean's room and there, they see two other ppl by his bed-side, holding his hands. Dean's twins, Taka and Landon, look up at the two men that had just come into their father's room, a little confused because neither of them knew who the two strangers were.
Taka and Landon get up and opened the blinds to let in some sunlight. They then turn to face the two strange men and, to their amazement, the two men that Dean had described to them as their fathers, were standing right there in front of them. The twins spoke in unison, "Dad! What are the two of you doing here?" Roman and Seth confused, look first at each other, then to Taka and Landon and ask, "What are you two saying about Dads?"
Roman and Seth, staring at them, each then realized that the twins do look like them and Dean. Roman did the math in his head and it was clear that he was Taka's father. He couldn't believe Dean had kept this, his daughter, from him. Seething with anger, he thought, "How the hell could he do this to me, or Seth? and why?" Roman left the room as he needed time to collect himself and his emotions.
Seth moved from his spot to sit in the chair next to Dean's bed, lacing their fingers together, he gently kisses Dean's hand. He thought to himself that he would deal with the issue concerning the kids once Dean was awake and doing better.
