Roman had to go to the clinic after they called him and told him that Quinn's blood results were back. He read them over and she was clean. He grabbed his doctor bag and added a few things he needed to change her cast and check her healing stitches.
Grabbing vitamins for her as well. His phone rang and he answered.
"Hey Nia, I can't talk now", he said.
"Get your ass to your place and now", Nia said.
She hung up and he panicked. Had she told their dad? Zipping up his bag, he went home. He parked and walked in. Nia was sitting in a chair while Quinn was under the table in the kitchen. Quinn saw him and looked relieved.
"What the hell Roman?", Nia asked.
"I can explain", he said.
"I'm waiting", Nia said.
Roman helped Quinn out from under the table. He gestured to his sister.
"Nia, sister", Roman said.
Quinn didn't know what the second word was. She held onto his arm tight, peeking at Nia before hiding behind Roman.
"No hurt", Roman said softly to Quinn.
"Explain now", Nia said.
"Are you going to tell dad?", Roman asked.
This reminded Roman of when they were kids.
"I don't know yet. I want to know why you have a wild one inside your house, half dressed I might add", Nia said.
"Lets sit in the living room", Roman said.
Nia nodded and followed him. She noticed Quinn limping. She watched as Roman set her on the couch and handed her a tablet.
"I found her. The Wyatts set traps for them and she got caught in one. She's lucky it missed her bone, it would have been worse", Roman said.
"Ok, so why didn't you tell dad about her?", Nia asked.
She sat down and grabbed her purse. She pulled out a lollipop. She always had candy because of her daughter.
"She needs to be looked after. If she opens her stitches and doesn't have a way to clean the wound, it could get infected. As a doctor, I can't let that happen. Dad and the rest of the guards would want her out", Roman said.
Nia nodded and handed the lollipop to Quinn after she removed the wrapper. Quinn took it and looked it over, before licking it.
"She's cute", Nia pointed out.
Roman glanced at his sister and saw the look she was sending him.
"You can't tell me you didn't notice", she smirked.
Roman sat down on the coffee table and looked at Quinn.
"I know that look. You're in love with her", Nia said.
Roman rubbed his hands together, looking at his hands.
"How? I hardly think you can understand what she's saying.", Nia said.
"It's the way she looks at me. I don't know Nia, I can't explain it", he said.
"What's her name?", Nia asked.
"Quinn", Roman said.
Quinn looked at him.
"How old is she? She doesn't look older than twenty.", Nia said.
"I'm not sure. I met her mom about eighteen almost nineteen years ago. She was pregnant with her", Roman said.
"She's a baby", Nia said.
"Hardly a baby.", Roman mumbled.
"Did you", his sister stopped.
She sighed when he couldn't look at her.
"It just happened", he said.
"Well, you need to be very careful. Lana has been rounding your house. If she sees her, she will tell", Nia said.
Roman nodded.
"Hey handsome, back for more", Vickie said.
Seth chuckled. She stopped when she saw the way he was.
"What happened to you?", she asked.
"The rain caused me to crash. I'm ok though", Seth said.
"Hey Vickie", Dean said.
"Hey blue eyes. How are you?", she asked.
"Good, stuck driving this guy around", Dean said.
Vickie laughed. Dean followed Seth to a computer and watched him work. They translated what Quinn had said. Writing down the word and then writing what it meant in English across from it.
"Her great grandmother. We need her to take us to this Gina", Dean said.
"Or", Seth started.
"Or?", Dean asked.
"We made friends with her friends. What if we asked one of them?", Seth said.
Dean thought about it. It was risky, but he wanted to see Sky again. He nodded.
"Let's go", Dean said.
Seth closed his notebook and stood. Dean helped him out to the car.
Roman left Quinn at home alone again. It would be quick this time. He needed to speak to Lana about staying away from him and his family. Finding her at work at the nurses station. She smiled.
"Hey", she said sweetly.
"We need to talk", he said.
She knew he was pissed. She knew he would be after telling Nia about what she heard. Lana nodded and followed him to his office. She shut the door and he placed his hands on his hips.
"Where the hell do you get off telling my family that I'm sleeping with someone. That is none of your business. We aren't together anymore and that's on you", Roman said.
"I was just worried about you", Lana said.
"Yeah right. Stay away from my house and stay away from my family. Its over between us Lana, it's been over for a long time. Move on, because I have", he said, before walking out of his office.
Lana followed him.
"Who is she? Does she live in town?", Lana asked.
Nurses and patients stopped and stared. Whispering. It was a small fenced in town, so their breakup and Lana cheating on him were the talk of the town for too long.
Until Seth's car accident last night. Now, it was bound to be brought up again.
"She doesn't concern you. You and I aren't friends, I have no obligation to tell you anything. Get back to work", Roman said angry.
Lana wiped her cheeks. Roman kept walking. Getting home, Quinn looked over at him. He sat beside her and took her hand.
"Its been a long day hasn't it.", Roman said.
She just smiled. He chuckled.
"I don't even care that you don't understand me.", he said.
"You look exhausted", she said.
She touched his cheek and he closed his eyes. Sighing. She sat closer and laid her head on his shoulder.
"A nap sounds so good right now. Let's go", he said.
He stood and lifted her into his arms. They laid in bed together. Quinn's head on his chest.
Her grandmother was wrong about these men. Roman wasn't a bad guy. He was sweet, compassionate, and gentle. She could feel him rubbing her back. Soon, she heard his soft snores.
Lifting her head, he was asleep. She watched him for a bit, wanting to memorialize his features.
"I wish I could stay with you. I want to stay with you. Maybe you can come with me. My people will take you in. My mother would love you.", she said smiling.
She knew it would take some time for her dad and uncle John to get use to Roman. They didn't trust outsiders. It took them a bit when Sky's family showed up and Willow's family.
Roman was different from them though. He was born inside the fence. She touched his cheek and he sighed.
Dean parked the truck between some trees. They both got off and walked the same path Dean did when he came looking for Sky.
"How do you know where we're going?", Seth asked him.
"I don't", Dean lied.
Seth stopped and so did Dean.
"You forget how long I've known you. You were a terrible liar then, and you still are now", Seth said.
Dean shrugged.
"I might have been out here looking for Sky", Dean said.
Seth was confused and looked up, before looking back at Dean. He pointed up.
"Its right there Dean", Seth said.
"No, Sky is, she's a girl", Dean said.
"A wild one", Seth said, catching on.
Dean looked away.
"I know, ok, I know. I didn't even realize what I was doing till I was calling out her name", Dean said.
"Dean", Seth said.
"I don't need to hear it Rollins. I know it's wrong, especially because I keep telling Roman how wrong it is. I'm a hypocrite", Dean said.
"Ambrose, behind you", Seth said.
He turned and saw Sky. She blushed and smiled. His heart was hammering in his chest.
"Sky", he mumbled.
She walked towards him and hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her. Sighed. He felt at ease being close to her.
"We're losing daylight Ambrose. You need to ask her", Seth said behind them.
Dean nodded. Seth took his phone out to record her.
"Gina Bella", Dean said.
Sky nodded.
"Grandmother", Sky said.
Seth looked at the notebook of the translations.
"She said grandmother, the same word Quinn used", Seth said.
Sky looked at him.
"Quinn", she said.
"Safe", Seth said.
"See, Gina Bella", Dean said to her, taking her attention off of Seth.
She shook her head no.
"She's not here. She had some others she needed to check on. She won't be back till next week", Sky said.
"Sky", Willow came around the trees.
She stopped when she saw both men. She looked at Sky.
"What are you doing? If someone sees you talking to them, they will kill us. Grandmother told us to stay away from them", Willow said.
Sky nodded before looking back at Dean.
"Go", she said.
Dean nodded. He leaned down again and kissed her. She smiled when he pulled away. Willow looked at Seth. He smiled and waved. She blushed before returning it and looking down.
"Let's go", Dean said.
