Seth leaned against the bathroom door as he listened to everything that Randy and Damien were being charged with. Some of it was pretty obvious to Seth. Armed and robbery, trespassing, and for attacking a cop. For Damien as well with providing false medical reports to patients. The last one mentioned actually surprised Seth. Rape. Those two had raped multiple women, including the nurse AJ Lee. What kind of an animal did Seth get invovled with? Seth felt like shit knowing that because of him, the nurse had to go through hell. It's like everything that Seth touched was in danger to some degree.
"What do you say Mr. Rollins?" the female voice asked. She was speaking on behalf of AJ Lee and the prosecution who were actually in court at the moment.
Seth stayed silent as he thought about it. If he didn't testify, he knew he would regret it. Randy and Damien deserve everything that's coming to them. Roman was right. Seth was really hoping that justice could be brought to those women they raped, AJ, and also to his daughter that never got the chance to live. Along with everyone that fell victim to them. "Yes, I would like to testify against them" he finally replied. "The only problem is that I'm not in Florida right now. I'm in San Fransisco so I'm assuming you'll need me to go back?" Seth was disappointed that he might have to leave Roman and Dean to go back home.
"Actually no, we can arrange for you to testify over the phone, if that's what you prefer to do."
Seth was surprised but relieved that he would be able to testify without having to leave his boyfriends. "That sounds like a better option" he agreed. They assured him that they would call him back to testify after their lunch break. Seth took a deep breath before stepping out of the bathroom. He saw Roman laying on the bed with Dean cuddled next to him, already awake. "Hey" Seth smiled.
"Hi. Who were you talking to on the phone?" Roman instantly asked. He heared his voice in the bathroom and grew interested, as well as Dean.
Seth walked over to the bed and sat cross-legged at the end of it, in between Roman and Dean's legs. "I got a call from a court house back in Florida"
"A court house?" Dean sat up in curiosity.
"Yeah, turns out that Randy and Damien are on trial and the prosecution along with that nurse want me to testify against both of them."
"And what did you say?" Roman asked as he played with Dean's fingers. He hoped that Seth said yes. Even though he didn't want him to leave back home, it was important for those two bastards to pay for what they did.
"I said yes"
"So you're going back home?" Dean pouted in the most adorable way.
Seth chuckled and shook his head as he stroked Dean's leg. "No, they told me I could do it over the phone so that's what I'm going to do"
"Oh, good" Dean smiled again. He got off the bed and headed for the bathroom. He really needed to go. He figured that will be happening a lot lately because of the pregnancy. During the flight to San Fransisco, he did all sorts of research about pregnancy on his phone. His body could obviously react way differently than to one of a female but some things could be similar. He found it all so fascinating and he couldn't believe he was one out two males ever to expierence pregnancy. He just felt bad that Seth couldn't have a successful one, thanks to Randy. Oh, but he would make sure to take care of himself and give Seth and Roman a healthy baby. Between him being careful and his boyfriends' support, he knew he could do it.
"So, at what time are they going to call you back?" Roman crooked his finger, signaling for Seth to come closer. Seth crawled up the bed and straddled Roman's hips.
"They said after their lunch break so I'm assuming in the afternoon." Seth shrugged and placed his hands on Roman's chest. He caressed the hard muscles underneath his shirt.
"So that means you can't see me on my first day of training camp" Roman said disappointed. He didn't want Seth to feel bad but he was truly bummed. He considered Seth and Dean his good luck charms and now Seth wasn't going to be there.
Seth frowned. "I'm sorry baby. I wish I didn't have to miss it. I really wanted to be there" He leaned forward and kissed him sweetly. He pulled away but still kept his face close to Roman's. "Are you mad?"
"No. I'm bummed one of my lucky charms can't be there but I'm sure you'll make it up to me" Roman winked at him and kissed him. He heard Seth laughing before he started kissing him back. Roman flipped them over so now he was on top. He rested up on his forearms and stroked Seth's two-toned hair as they continued to kiss. Reigns groaned and slipped his tongue inside Seth's mouth as the kiss intensified.
Seth held onto Roman's sides as they kissed so passionately. His eyes were tightly closed and he wrapped his legs around Roman's waist. "I love you. Thanks for being so undertsanding" Seth said after pulling away from the deep kiss.
"I love you too" He looked directly into his big brown eyes. Roman's stomach fluttered. Those gorgeous and innocent eyes captivated him every time. This time they kissed even more ugently and Roman began to grind up on him. It amazed both of them how hard they already were for each other. They were both moaning and groping each other.
"Guys, stop making out. I'm hungry" Dean whined as he stepped out of the bathroom. He grabbed his boxers from the floor and put them on. The same with his jeans. "Guys!" he whined again like a child and crossed his arms over his chest.
Roman and Seth laughed after finally pulling away and sitting up. "I'll take you to eat something on the way to the training facility" Roman stood up and kissed Dean's forehead before grabbing his gym bag and packing up everything that he needed.
"Sethie, aren't you coming with us?" Dean asked after noticing that he wasn't getting up from the bed to get ready.
"I really want to go but I can't, Dean. I have to stay here and wait for the call from the court house"
"Oh, yeah" Dean pouted again but then went back to getting dressed. After he and Roman finished getting ready, they kissed Seth goodbye and he wished Roman good luck.
Dean had his arms crossed and had a scowl on his face as he watched Antonio interacted with his boyfriend out on the football field. Roman was kicking ass so far and Dean could see that the coaches were really impressed with him. ESPN broadcasters where there and he was sure they talked about Roman the most. He was a beast. Nothing that Dean didn't know already. He was already proud of his boyfriend for his talent and skills.
He had all his attention on the way Antionio smiled as he talked to him. He would put his arm around Roman's shoulder and failed to make it look innocent. Ambrose wanted nothing more than to run onto the field and attack Antonio to the ground. Dean took a deep breath and shook his head. Maybe he was just imagining things. Maybe it was his hormones and mood swings again. Dean had to point out to himself than when they were in college, Antonio was nice to him and was a good friend. There was never anything sketchy and he was a good friend to Roman. Despite all that, there was still something little inside him that had him on high alert. He kept a close eye on them for sure though.
Seth stood up from the bed rapidly and grabbed his ringing phone. He cleared his throat before answering. He was informed that he was now on speaker in the court room. The judge was present, along with Randy, Damien, the prosecution, the defense, jury, and AJ was also in there. Seth swallowed hard. He wasn't at all prepared but he knew all he had to do was say the truth. The prosecutor asked him basic questions about where he was from and what he did for a living. Then, the prosecutor asked his first question about the actual case. Taking a deep breath, Seth started to testify under oath.
A couple hours later, Roman and Dean got out of the car and walked into the hotel. They headed to the restaurant inside and grabbed some dinner for them and Seth. "You've been quiet since we left the training facility. You alright?" Roman asked concerned as they walked over to the elevators.
"Yeah, I'm good. You looked great out there. I think them asking you to go back tomorrow is a good sign. They are interested in you" Dean smiled at him softly.
"Yeah it is." Roman felt really good about the first day. He felt so comfortable out on the football field and he wasn't all that rusty. His confidence only boosted and he felt good about finally get another chance to play in the NFL. That really was his dream. As they rode up the elevator, Roman looked at Dean carefully. He could easily see that there was something wrong with him. They stepped out of the elevator and headed to their room. Before slipping the key card in the slot on the door, Roman turned to Dean. "What's bothering you?"
"Nothing. I told you I was fine" Dean shrugged. He was of course lying. The whole thing with Antonio was still bothering him. After training was finished, Antonio greeted Dean and congradulated him on the pregnancy. It didn't take too much to notice that he wasn't exactly pleased with the news. Dean had no idea why but he thought it was a bit suspicious. He bit his lip and looked into Roman's eyes. "When we were in college, there was nothing going on between you and Antonio that time we were separated briefly, right?"
Roman swallowed hard and scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "No, why would you think that?" he answered quickly.
"I saw the way he looks at you Rome. And the way he touches you" Dean grew angry upon reminding himself of that. He glared at Roman with jealousy flashing through his body.
Roman smiled at Dean's jealousy. He wrapped an arm around him and placed a chaste kiss on his lips. "Baby, he's just being friendly. Trust me, I only have eyes for you and Seth." He kissed him more passionately and pinned him gently against the door of their hotel room.
Dean melted into the kiss and placed a hand behind Roman's head, pulling him closer to deepen the kiss even more; all his fears and suspicions washed away. With his eyes closed, he felt Roman's lips trail down to his neck. He shivered as Roman plucked his skin in between his lips. He opened his eyes and watched the way Roman got on one knee and lifted up his shirt to place a kiss to his stomach.
"C'mon, let's get you two fed" Roman smiled and stood back up. They finally entered the hotel room just in time to see Seth exiting the bathroom. His eyes were red and he sniffled. It was obvious he had been crying. Roman placed the food on the small table and walked over to him. "What's wrong baby?"
"Yeah, why are you crying?" Dean asked softly and wiped Seth's tears away. He hated seeing him cry.
Seth shook his head and sat down on the table. "It just got a bit overwhelming when I was testifying. They made me go into specific details about the past and it...was just hard to talk about again." He put his head down as fresh tears ran down his cheeks. He had no idea it would be that hard to explain everything that he went through with Randy. It was utter hell and he had to tell that to a room full of people; strangers really.
Roman got on his knees in front of him while Dean stood behind him and soothed his shoulders for comfort. Roman cupped his chin and tilted his head up, forcing him to look at him. "I'm sorry you had to sort of relive that baby. But just think that it was all so that prick can finally pay for what he's done to you."
"Rome's right. It might not seem like it now but this will sort of be closure for you, knowing that he's going to be put away. You can finally move on for real this time" Dean assured him and continued to massage his shoulder. He smiled down when Seth tilted his head back to look at him. Ambrose laughed at the way Seth pulled his lips out, signling that he wanted a kiss. Dean bent forward and pecked his lips before kissing his forehead as well.
"You guys are right" Seth sighed and wiped the tears away as he straightened back up. "I guess this is a positive thing. I can finally leave him behind and focus on you guys." he smiled. "And the little one of course" he smiled and rubbed Dean's stomach. Roman and Dean were glad to see how quickly they could make Seth feel better. "Oh baby, how did it go with training camp?" Seth asked curiously and rumaged through the bag of food they had placed on the table.
"It went really well. They asked me to go back tomorrow. I guess they want to see more of me. I met with he captain of the team and he seems to like me to. I got along with he whole team"
"That's awesome babe. I'm so proud of you. You're going to make it for sure" Seth kissed him and smiled widley at him. "I can't wait to see you out there tomorrow"
"Me either" Roman smiled. It then occured to him that he hadn't mentioned Seth to Antonio yet. Maybe it wasn't a big deal but knowing Seth, it would probably hurt his feelings and that was the last thing he wanted to do. He guessed he would have to wait and see how things went. Dean had no idea that he didn't mention Seth either. Roman was a bit nervous for tomorrow. Knowing what Antonio's reaction was going to be, did not ease him one bit.
