As Lynn was getting ready, Seth came in, a not so happy look on his face.
"What?", she asked.
He swallowed.
"Guards found Bo and Bray hung in their cell.", he said.
She gasped. She knew it was coming, but hoped it didn't.
"I should call JoJo", she said.
"If you want, we can go to Ruby. I think she's going to need people around her", Seth replied.
She nodded and changed. She was sure they would cancel the trial today and schedule it for another day.
This also gave her and the gang time to find Stephanie and Randy, have them come clean that she was still alive and why she did what she did.
Hunter had to pay.
As she was leaving, Shawn and Hunter were in his office drinking and laughing.
"He thinks he got away with it", Corey whispered.
"He shouldn't get too excited", she replied.
She walked in.
"What are we celebrating?", she asked.
The men finished their drinks.
"Nothing you care about", Hunter mumbled.
She shrugged.
"I'm going to go check on JoJo. Losing Bray like this must be hard on her", she said.
"She's in Sapphire right now?", he asked.
She nodded. He didn't know Liam and Dean moved her to Ruby.
"You may go", he said, as she rolled her eyes.
Like she really needed his permission. She would have said it out loud, but remembering Rao, and Roman. She couldn't put herself in that position to have Hunter hurt her again.
AJ and Leslie were checking on JoJo and giving her their condolences over the phone. It didn't feel right to Leslie.
"No matter what JoJo did, she was still apart of my family", Leslie said.
AJ nodded and kissed the top of her head.
"Do you think Hunter did this?", she asked.
"Truth?", he asked.
She nodded.
"I do. I think the hit he put on his wife was an accident. He was joking, but Taker and Kane took it seriously. From what Roman told me, it seems Stephanie was in the way to them. Bray and Bo, that wasn't an accident. Bray knew more than he said in court, which he told Dean and Liam.", AJ said.
"I should go to Ruby to see her", Leslie said.
"You aren't feeling well, my love. Take it easy, please. When the queens meet is in a few days, you can go with Peyton back to Ruby and visit, if you are feeling well enough", he said.
She nodded. Morning sickness keeping her in bed or in the bathroom.
Roman was the one to break the news to JoJo. Liam held her as she cried. Rocked her and whispered how sorry he was.
"Take your time", Roman said, about to leave his office to give them privacy.
"Don't go. I can take her to the guest house, she should be comfortable", Liam said.
Roman nodded. He watched Liam lift JoJo into his arms and walking out the door.
"Poor girl", Dean said.
Roman nodded.
"They canceled the trial today and tomorrow. Taker and Kane have more time to come up with lies", Roman sighed and rolled his eyes.
"They won't get away with this Ro, trust your Queen and Seth. They will find something.", Dean replied.
"Yeah, listen to the man", they both turned to see Lynn.
Roman stood and went over to his wife. He kissed her and smiled.
"What are you doing here?", he asked.
"Hunter allowed me to come, well, he said I could go to Sapphire, thinking JoJo is still there", she said.
Roman chuckled.
"Don't push the man", Roman reminded.
"I know", she waved him off.
Seth made his way to the guest house. He walked in knowing Liam was here.
"Li?", he called.
"In here", Liam replied.
Seth made his way to the master bedroom. He walked in to see JoJo in his husband's arms. Liam brushed his fingers through her hair. He knew Liam was only comforting her, but he didn't like it, he never would.
She fucked his man.
He licked his lips and sent Liam a nod. He knew that look on Seth's face and so he smirked.
"Stop", Liam whispered.
JoJo was asleep now. Liam stood and placed his hand against her belly.
"You sleep too baby girl", Liam whispered.
Seth didn't like that either. Liam didn't say a word to him till they left the house.
"Li", Seth growled.
Liam held up a finger as Naomi approached.
"The doctor should be here soon to monitor the baby. Let her sleep, but when she wakes make sure she eats. If she doesn't, call me.", Liam said to her.
"Yes sir", she replied, before walking into the house.
Liam looked at Seth. He placed his hand under his chin and lifted Seth's head.
"Now, what is the problem?", Liam asked calmly.
"You know damn well what the problem is. I get it, she's pregnant, but you could have done without the touching and running your fingers through her hair", Seth said.
Liam smirked. His thumb pressed against his husband's lips. Seth relaxed before licking Liam's thumb.
"I love you, Seth. Whether you can give me a baby or not, I breathe for you. I don't want her that way anymore, I was comforting her as a friend. Now put your jealousy away, I don't want to fight with you for the short time I have you", Liam said.
Seth nodded.
"Roman, Dean, and Lynn are waiting for us in Roman's office", Seth replied.
Liam held his hand out.
"Lets go", he said.
Once they got to the office, Lynn stood and told them everything John did.
"Without them, we have no way of getting Hunter. Even if he didn't mean to put a hit on his wife, he still wanted too. He spoke out loud about it, its treason", Roman said.
"And I might know where they are", Lynn added.
All four men looked at her.
"Okay, John said Stephanie ran to Opal, that they would protect her and her girls", Lynn said.
"Of course they would, they protect women. No matter who it is", Dean added.
She nodded.
"They accept men through marriage only", Lynn said.
"You think they're in Opal", Roman said.
"But if they are, why didn't Trish and Lita say something?", Liam asked.
"Because then Hunter would know, and with what they found out, it would be too dangerous to tell him she was still alive", Roman put it together.
Lynn nodded.
"They don't answer to men. So if Stephanie told them everything, you bet your ass they would protect her and the princesses", Dean said.
"But what I don't get, is the Twins. They told me a story about seeing men's feet and what happened to them in the car", Lynn said.
"Their body doubles survived and told them what happened", Liam said.
"And I don't doubt those body doubles were given to them by Opal.", Dean said.
"We need to go to Opal", Lynn said excited.
"And what then? You don't actually think they are still going by Randy and Stephanie, I doubt their last name is even the same as well", Liam said.
Lynn sighed and sat on Roman's lap. He kissed her cheek and then neck.
"What if I asked Nikki and Brie?", she asked.
Seth shook his head no.
"If John wouldn't tell you, neither would they. They don't know you well enough to trust you", Seth said.
"Then I need to speak to someone who does trust me", she said.
"Who?", Dean asked.
"Toni", she said, getting off of Roman's lap.
Roman pouted and tried to pull her back down. He just wanted to be close to her.
"Toni Storm?", Dean asked.
She nodded.
"The Queens meeting is coming up. Hunter is sending me with Bayley and second choice", she said.
Roman laughed at what Lynn still calls Sasha.
"She hates that nickname", Dean chuckled.
"I'll have Peyton and Carmella to back me, Leslie will be there too.", Lynn said.
"The plan is settled then, now I need like twenty minutes alone with my wife. Please", Roman said, standing.
Dean chuckled.
"Only twenty minutes, weak bro", Dean said.
Roman gave him a look.
"On it", Seth said, before slapping the back of Dean's head.
Lynn giggled, it reminded her of old times with them. Once the door was closed, Roman turned to Lynn and lifted her onto his desk.
He unbuckled his belt as she lifted her skirt and removed the only thing keeping him from connecting with his wife. He grabbed her hips and pulled her towards him before roughly entering her.
She gasped and he smirked.
"Someone was ready for me", he whispered.
She playfully slapped his chest. She laid back.
Liam stopped Seth and pinned him against the wall.
"They have a pretty good idea", he whispered, he was about to kiss Seth.
He pushed him away.
"You smell like her and if you think you're getting any ass smelling of her, you're wrong", Seth said, about to walk away.
Liam grabbed him and pushed him down the hall towards their room.
"You don't say no to me", Liam growled.
Seth had to admit, he found this way too hot and was turned on himself.
"I just did", Seth replied.
Liam lifted Seth and Seth wrapped his legs around Liam. His husband smirked.
"Thought so my lover", Liam chuckled.
"Asshole", Seth mumbled as Liam sucked and kissed his neck.
Seth couldn't believe he had the hottest husband in the region. Women definitely wanted Liam, he saw the way they looked at him. Hell, it's the way he looked at him.
"Gross, get a room", Dean said, reminding them both they weren't alone.
Seth blushed and Liam smirked.
"That's a good idea", Liam replied, making their way to their room.
Dean mumbled some not so kind words towards his friends. Peyton had been denying him for several weeks now and he was starting to feel it.
Getting to his room, he collapsed on his bed. Baby clothes was scattered around his bedroom. Peyton came out of the shower.
"Hey", she said happily.
She ran her fingers through his short hair. He kissed her belly.
"You okay?", she asked.
"No. All my friends are having sex right now.", he mumbled.
"I'm sorry", she said softly.
He looked up into her eyes and knew that he would still love her, even if they never had sex again.
"No, I am. You're giving me such a wonderful gift, I can't fault you for not sleeping with me. You can't control it", he said.
She wiped the tear that slipped. He smiled gently, knowing her emotions were all over the place.
"Don't cry baby", he whispered.
"Our baby girl has the best daddy ever. I hope that one day she gets as lucky as I did, and finds someone like you.", she said.
He gently kissed her lips before moving to her belly.
"Daddy loves you so much. Now hurry up in there, I can't wait to meet you sweetheart. To count all your little toes and fingers. To look into those beautiful eyes, the ones exactly like your mother's.", he whispered.
Peyton lifted his head and kissed him.
"Loves of my life", he whispered against her lips.
