CHAPTER 14

The snow day was going a little differently back at Robin's house. Olivia and Seth got the kids up and gave them their breakfast. Robin was calling almost every 10 minutes to check on the kids.

"Robin, this isn't my first rodeo! Piper and Mason ate breakfast and they're watching veggie tales. Seth and I are going to take them out to play in the snow in a few minutes. We got this!" Liv rolled her eyes at Robin's worrying, making Seth laugh.

"Okay, Liv. Please make sure they wear their hats, gloves and scarves…"

"Robin! I know!" Liv was laughing at the fact that Robin was hysterical. Seth took the phone from Olivia to try and calm Robin's nerves.

"Hey Robin…the kids are gonna be fine! How about you concentrate on Baron? Just don't bring home anymore kids!" Seth hung up before Robin could cuss him out. Olivia was laughing uncontrollably at Seth's ability to be an asshole and a good friend at the same time. "Okay who's ready to go build a snowman?!" Piper jumped up and down in excitement as Mason just laughed at his sister.

After what seemed like an hour of putting on snowsuits, scarves, hats, boots and gloves, the kids were ready to go. Seth built a snowman with Piper while Olivia held Mason slowly introducing him to the snow. As Piper and Seth broke out into a light snowball fight, an older woman walking up the street stopped and stared at the four of them.

"I'm sorry, but I just have to say you are the most adorable little family!" Olivia was all set to correct the lady and explain they were only the godparents, but Seth cut her off.

"Thanks!" Seth lifted Piper in the air as she giggled incessantly. When the woman walked away, Olivia gave him a stern look and shook her head.

"Really Seth?"

"What? We are an adorable little family!" Seth brought Piper up to the top of the steps and opened the door to let Liv and Mason go in ahead of him.

Undressing the kids was a lot quicker than suiting them up. After the snow gear was off, both of the kids were ready for a nap. Olivia made some tea and brought it into Seth at the dining room table.

"Thanks, Liv." They sat in silence until Liv couldn't hold her tongue anymore.

"I'm sorry for ambushing you last night, Seth."

"No apology necessary. You said what you needed to say…"

"Can I ask you something?" Liv set her cup of tea down and looked directly at him. "Why are you with her?" He sighed and put his cup down. "You don't have to answer, if you don't want to."

"Nah, I'll answer." He put his hands on the table and looked across the table at her. "I'm with her because she's safe. I fell in love with that safety. She's never gonna leave unless I ask her to. She doesn't want anybody but me, and that's the best feeling in the world!"

"Okay, Seth are we really gonna talk about this?!" Liv tried to quiet herself down so she wouldn't wake the kids. "She's safe? You know you've never played it safe!"

"Well, getting your heartbroken gets old after a while!" Seth stood up and paced the dining room. "Do you have any idea how fucked up I was when you married Wade?!" Liv sat in silence unsure of what to say. "Zahra is my insurance policy that I'll never get hurt like that again. Maybe it's fucked up, but it's how I'm coping!"

"You don't have to cope like that, Seth! You deserve to be happy!"

"Happy?!" He walked around the table and knelt down to look directly into her eyes. "Do you know how many times I've wanted to call you when something funny happened that only you would understand? Or how many times I just wanted your advice on something, but I couldn't call you!" She could see tears forming in Seth's eyes.

"You can call me, Seth…We're gonna be in each other's lives in some capacity because we have mutual friends and a mutual godchild!"

"How would that look with me calling you and stuff?"

"It would look like we're friends!" Liv wiped away a tear that was streaming from his pretty brown eyes.

"We can be friends?" The youthful hopefulness in his eyes melted Olivia's heart.

"Of course! You need somebody who will set you straight when you try to date scuzzbuckets." Her sense of humor was exactly what he needed. He hugged her tightly and a little longer than she was comfortable with.

"God, I missed you Liv." Seth squeezed her not wanting to let go until he noticed Piper standing in the doorway to the dining room.

"Can I have some juice?" She was rubbing her sleepy eyes as she walked into the dining room.

"Sure, sweetheart." Seth took her hand and led her into the kitchen, but not before giving Liv a warm smile. She didn't want to give him the wrong impression, but she had really missed him too.

Back in the hotel, Robin and Baron tried to pass the time by listening to music and partaking in some "herbal refreshment" on the balcony in between rounds of what some would call sadistic sexual acts, but to them it was the regular.

"This is the longest period of time we've spent with each other at one time, isn't it?" Robin looked up at him in total relaxation.

"Yep. I can never get you alone…I guess the snow took care of that." Baron kissed her on the forehead as they laid on the bed.

"This is nice…I don't think I've been this relaxed in months." Robin snuggled up closer to him and felt his large body shake in laughter. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing….I guess the only part of your body Ambrose is stealing is your heart." He insisted that she remove her Ambrose t shirt last night and she had been wearing one of his oversized t shirts ever since.

"Don't get it twisted! Dean doesn't have to steal what already belongs to him! I have no complaints in the bedroom!"

"Okay, okay! I get it, he's your husband and you love him, but I know he doesn't take you to the edge like I do." Robin defensively sat up in the bed because he was making her lose her high.

"What makes you think that? I don't compare you and Dean in bed! Like I said, I'm satisfied!" Robin hopped up and started to put her clothes back on.

"Hold on, baby." Baron stood up to stop her from getting dressed. "I didn't mean to make you mad. All I'm saying is I can tell that your body yearns for some things that Dean may not want to do to his wife and the mother of his daughter."

"I'm the mother of your child too! What's the difference?!" Robin tried to push him off of her, but he pushed her back against the wall.

"You are the mother of my child, but we both understand that any pain experienced during sex isn't about violence…it's about pleasure." He took the clothes out of her hands and spread her legs with his feet. "I don't doubt that Dean fucks the shit outta you, but I know the things your body craves that you could never ask him for." He choked her against the wall while running his fingers in between her legs, over her already stimulated clit. "I'm not trying to be your husband…that's what makes this so much fun." He released her throat before dropping to his knees and ate her out like never before. Needless to say she decided to stay…at least for another round… or 3.

Liv and Seth participated in some more child friendly snow day activities. Ever since Piper woke up from her nap, they had been watching a Disney movie marathon with her. About half way through The Princess and The Frog, Piper lost interest and started playing house with her Barbie and her miniature Dean Ambrose action figure.

"You realize we're watching this cartoon by ourselves, right?" Seth scooted over to fill Piper's empty spot on the couch next to Liv.

"It's a good movie!" Liv smiled under the pressure of his intense stare.

"How many frogs have you kissed?"

"More than I can count…but I eventually found my prince." Liv looked at Seth and he leaned in to kiss her. Before his lips could touch hers, Robin and Baron came through the front door. They decided to take a taxi back to the house because Robin missed the kids so much.

"Mommy!" Piper ran over and flung her body at Robin's leg.

"There's my baby girl!" She picked Piper up and went to kiss Mason who was still sleeping. She paused for a moment noticing how close Seth and Liv were on the couch. Baron noticed the same thing and slapped Seth on the arm.

"Hey Rollins, thank goodness for snow days, right?" Baron went and picked Mason up before joining Robin and Piper in the dining room.

Olivia straightened her shirt and turned to whisper to Seth.

"We're friends. Friends DON'T kiss!" She got up to go talk to Robin in the dining room leaving Seth on the couch with a smirk on his face.

"Liv, have you heard from Chloe?" Robin looked concerned as she bounced Piper on her knee.

"No, not even a text…I guess she's busy." Liv and Robin exchanged a glance knowing that Corey was probably the reason she was too preoccupied to text or call.

"I haven't heard from Corey either." Baron chimed in while exchanging a similar glance with Seth who finally joined them in the dining room.

"Looks like we all needed a snow day…" Seth smiled at Liv, but Robin saw it and gave Liv the "WTF" face. Robin already started to do a mental inventory of her wine because she knew there would be a lot to catch up on when the weather broke and the women could get together again.
