Lynn stretched and yawned. She hadn't slept that good in a long time. The warmth the arms around her gave off made her not want to get out of bed.
Her eyes shot open. Arms? She quickly sat up and watched as Roman wiped his eyes.
"Babe, what's wrong?", he asked groggy.
He quickly sat up and set his hand on her stomach.
"Is it Rao? Do you need to see the doctor?", he quickly asked.
"Rao is fine, its me. What am I still doing here, Ro?", she asked, standing and looking for her clothes.
"Lynn", he said.
She kept rambling on and on about how Hunter is going to be pissed and how was she going to explain herself.
"Roselynn", he said, raising his voice just a bit.
She stopped and he smiled, lifting the blanket and patting her side of the bed. She dropped her skirt and shirt before laying beside him.
"Its like you don't know me at all", he said.
She raised a brow.
"I called John last night after you fell asleep. I told him to tell Hunter that you called and that you were staying the night with your sister. I also called AJ to let him and Leslie, in case Hunter decided to check up on you", Roman said.
She smiled and kissed him.
"Does this mean we can sleep in a little bit more?", she asked.
He laughed softly.
"Yes my Queen. A few more hours", he replied as she rested her head on his chest.
Seth let Liam sleep in since they didn't have court today. He took all the kids downstairs to get breakfast.
When he reached it, he froze. JoJo was sitting with Peyton and eating. She stopped smiling and looked down. She rubbed her round belly.
"Good morning", he said, filling the silence.
"Morning", Peyton replied.
JoJo bit her lip and took small bites of her food.
"I should go back to the guest house", she said softly.
Peyton took her hand.
"You don't. Roman said you were welcome here. Sit, and finish. Liam wouldn't forgive me if I let you go", Peyton said.
Seth served himself coffee and rolled his eyes. He turned and took a sip of his coffee as the kids sat and ate. They would rub JoJo's belly, pissing Seth off. Those were his kids.
Liam walked in to see Seth throwing daggers at JoJo as she spoke to the kids. He took Seth's arm.
"Outside", he growled.
Seth's eyes shot to his husband. Liam wasn't hurting his arm, it was a small squeeze to get his attention.
"Why?", Seth asked.
JoJo watched them, knowing very well it was about her.
"Seth Rollins Murphy, so help me I will lift you and carry you out. Move it", Liam said.
Seth set his cup down before walking out back. Liam set his hand on JoJo's shoulder.
"Finish. If you still want more there is plenty.", Liam said to her.
She nodded.
"Don't be too hard on him", she replied.
He smiled before walking out. Seth had his hands in his pockets.
"I don't care if you two never become friends, but she is mine and she is the mother of our child. Just like she respects you, you will do the same. You will not act this way in front of our kids, because they like her and are excited about the baby. You will not ruin this for us", Liam said.
"Us? You and her?", Seth asked.
"Damn it Seth, no, I don't mean her and I. I mean you and me. The kids. Fuck baby, I married you, I have always loved you. I don't know how many times I have to tell you that.", Liam said.
Liam sighed and paced before looking back at Seth.
"The doctor said he could do a test now to see if the baby is mine. I'm doing it, what I will not do, is give up my child. You either accept that or…", Liam stopped.
Seth took a step towards him.
"Li", he said softly.
"JoJo is her mother whether she stays in her life or not. I don't want to have to choose between family gatherings. I want us all in one place, together.", Liam said.
"You would leave me?", Seth asked.
"For my kids? Yes", Liam said.
Seth swallowed.
"She has not said one bad thing about you. She actually wants to talk to you. Even offered to carry another baby for us if we want.", Liam chuckled.
Seth kicked at the dirt.
"So?", Liam asked, holding his hand out.
Seth met his eyes.
Dean walked into the kitchen and kissed Peyton.
"Hey Jo", Dean said.
She smiled and finished her food.
"Want more?", Dean asked.
"Yeah, I can…", Dean stopped her.
"I got it.", Dean said, taking her plate.
"Thank you", JoJo replied.
Peyton smiled.
"He and Roman are suckers for pregnant ladies. Want a car?", Peyton said.
JoJo laughed. Dean set her plate down before sitting himself and eating. Liam and Seth walked in hand in hand.
Dean sent them a nod. Liam nudged Seth towards JoJo. He cleared his throat. Dean sat up and wiped his hands, watching Seth carefully. He knew his friend would never set a hand on JoJo, but he was still on high alert. Its how he was around every pregnant woman now.
"JoJo, when you want, we can talk", Seth said.
She looked up at him.
"Really?", she asked.
"Yeah. We will be family soon, so for this baby, we should settle some things", he said.
She nodded.
"Just let me know when", she said.
"How about once you're done", he said.
She nodded. Seth went back over to Liam and kissed him.
"Thank you my love", Liam whispered.
Seth rested his head against Liam's chest. Liam rubbed his back. JoJo smiled at them and Liam winked at her.
"So JoJo, any names yet?", Dean asked.
"I was going to let Liam and Seth pick", JoJo replied.
Seth turned to her.
"Us?", he asked.
She nodded.
"Is there a name you like for our baby girl?", Liam asked.
Seth squeezed his hand.
"Serenity", Seth said.
JoJo gasped. They all looked at her as she placed her hand on her bump.
"She kicked", she said.
"Must mean she likes the name", Peyton said.
JoJo stood and went over to Seth, taking his hand and placing it against her belly. He smiled when he felt more kicks.
"That's amazing", he said.
JoJo smiled. Liam watched as his husband had the biggest smile on his face and his eyes twinkled.
"Serenity", JoJo said.
Seth took Liam's hand and placed it beside his.
"Look", he said.
Liam kissed the side of Seth's head.
"That's our girl", Liam whispered.
Lynn woke up again and turned over. Her husband was gone and she sat up. He walked in with a tray.
"Hey sleepy head", he said, setting down the tray on her lap.
"This smells so good", she moaned.
"Its delicious too. All vegan of course, except for my plate", he said, taking the dish filled with eggs, sausage, bacon, and some fruit.
She looked at her plate, yes it looked good, but the smell from his was making her stomach growl. She bit her lip. Roman lifted a sausage and handed it to her.
"Just during your pregnancy", he winked.
She smiled and took it, moaning as the delicious meat filled her craving.
"This is so wrong, but so right", she said.
Roman chuckled. Sliding half of her food onto his plate so he could fill her empty side with bacon, eggs, and sausage.
"Feed the baby", he said, before she could protest.
She kissed his cheek. She knew he would starve before letting her go without.
"How's everything downstairs? I know Seth wasn't happy with JoJo being here or Liam being close to her", she said.
"They worked it out. JoJo and Seth went to the guest house to talk.", Roman replied.
She nodded.
"How is she?", she asked.
Roman sighed.
"When I broke the news to her, she cried hard. Liam held her and Peyton comforted her too. Then you know how Dean gets with pregnant women, so he was on full alert and water duty.", Roman said.
"We just have to watch her closely, make sure a doctor looks at her and the baby. That's my niece in there", Lynn said.
"Our niece", Roman corrected.
"So many babies, so little time", she said.
"That reminds me", he said, standing and taking her hand.
She stood and grabbed a bacon before he dragged her to the connecting room. Her jaw dropped open, it was decorated as a nursery.
"How?", she asked.
He shrugged.
"I went with neutral colors like Peyton and Leslie recommended. We went for ice cream and talked baby rooms", he said.
She touched the wood crib.
"If you don't like something, its more than okay to change it. Just thought I would get a head start", he said.
She went over to him and kissed him.
"Its perfect", she whispered.
"Not yet. Once Rao gets here, then it will be perfect", he said.
She nodded.
