A few months had passed since the guys had arrived to Earth 1. Seth and Liam's relationship was still on the down low, or at least that's what they thought.

When Dean had a day off, he would stay with Peyton.

"So when do I get to meet her?", Lynn asked.

Dean and Lynn had grown a bit closer, but not as close as she and Seth.

"You want too? I can tell her to come over for dinner one night.", Dean said, as he set the table.

"Why not invite her now? Call her", Leslie said.

Lynn nodded. Dean smiled and pulled his phone out. Lynn and Leslie noticed the way he smiled and blushed when he spoke to her.

"So adorable", Leslie said.

Lynn nodded.

"I'm going to tell Roman, Seth, and Liam that Peyton is joining us and to behave.", Lynn said.

"Good idea", Leslie said.

Lynn made her way down the hall to her room. She stopped when she heard Roman on the phone. He sounded worried. She knocked lightly before walking in. He sent her a small smile, which didn't reach his eyes. It always did, so she knew something was wrong.

"Okay mom, just keep me updated", he said.

He sighed.

"I love you too", he said, before setting his phone down.

She stepped closer to him when he sat down.

"Talk to me", she said, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"I told you about my brother, how he's sick. Well, my mom just told me he's getting worse and, she wants me to come home to see him", Roman said.

"And are you?", she asked, taking his hand in hers.

"I can't see him, not like that", he said.

"But if you don't, and God forbid something happens to him. Babe, you need to go", she said.

"Will you come with me?", he asked.

She smiled and nodded.

"You're going to love my brother", he said, excited.

"I know. From all the stories you told me, he sounds like a great guy", she replied.

She stood and took his hand.

"But right now, Dean is inviting Peyton over for dinner because I haven't met her yet. So, come on", she said.

He laughed softly and nodded.

"Li, I swear, he hit on me", Seth said, as they got home from the grocery store.

A guy had come up to Seth and flirted before leaving his number and walking away. Seth had told him he had a boyfriend, but the guy kept pushing. Seth didn't keep the number, balling up the paper and throwing it away. Liam had seen, but didn't say anything till they got home.

"Did you tell him you were taken?", Liam asked.

"Hun, of course I did. I couldn't exactly say it was you, but yes I told him", Seth said.

"Are you mad about that? That you can't say I'm your boyfriend?", he asked.

"No, of course not. I told you I understand and I would never force you to do something you don't want to.", Seth said, taking Liam's hand.

Liam sighed. Seth wrapped his arms around Liam's neck.

"I just feel like you deserve to be with someone who isn't afraid to be who he is. Someone who isn't afraid to show you off, because you are a catch baby", Liam said.

Seth smiled and blushed.

"That person is you, one day. When that day comes I will be proud to show you off too. To scream at the top of my lungs that you are mine", Seth said.

Liam smiled and they kissed. For the first time, Liam didn't glance around. He always checked to make sure no one was coming.

"Now let's get inside, because I am hungry and these groceries need to be put away", Seth said.

Liam nodded before slapping his boyfriend's butt. Seth blushed. As they walked into the house with the bags. Liam noticed Peyton.

"Hey Pey", he said.

Seth kissed her cheek as he passed her.

"I see things are getting serious if you brought her to meet the family", Seth winked at Dean.

Dean smirked.

"She's the one Seth. If you bet I would marry her, you would win", Dean whispered.

Seth nodded. Roman walked over.

"We have to take a trip home. My brother isn't doing so well", Roman whispered.

"When do we leave?", Seth asked.

"In two days", Roman said.

"My bag will be ready", Dean said.

His eyes found Peyton after she laughed at something Lynn said.

"Mind if I bring Peyton?", he asked.

Roman smiled and nodded.

"I hope you do. You know my mom will be extra excited you got rid of Billie. If we weren't a fan, neither was my mom", Roman said.

"Oh I know", Dean nodded.

Making Roman and Seth laugh.

"Taking Lynn?", Seth asked.

Roman nodded.

"I was just about to tell you. I want you with her at all times. I know my sister is going to react.", Roman said.

"I'll protect her with my life", Seth nodded.

"You don't think she would try to hurt Lynn, do you?", Dean asked.

"I don't want to test it", Roman replied.

The dinner had gone pretty well. Lynn knew from the second she spoke to Peyton that they would be long time friends.

She leaned into Dean.

"I like her, so don't fuck this up", she whispered.

Dean winked.

Lynn was nervous. They were going to Ruby and she was officially meeting his family. What if they didn't like her? She wasn't raised royal, so she wouldn't know how to act around them.

From birth they were taught how to eat, what to wear, and how to speak.

"Babe", Roman said, making Lynn jump.

He raised a brow.

"You okay?", he asked.

She sighed and nodded.

"Yes of course, just, a bit nervous", she replied.

"Don't be, my mom is going to love you. My did will adore you. You make me happy", he said.

"That's good to know, but that's not all I'm worried about. I don't know how to act royal", she said.

He smiled and held her chin in his hand.

"Just be you", he replied, before leaving a kiss on her lips.

"That's what I'm worried about", she mumbled against his lips.

"Don't worry", he whispered.

She pouted as he went to take their bags to the car. When she got outside, Peyton was standing beside it with Dean.

"Hey, I'm so glad you're coming too. Makes me less nervous", Lynn said.

"I know what you mean. I haven't been home in awhile", Peyton replied.

"Any tips?", Lynn asked.

Peyton smiled.

"Just be you", Peyton said.

Lynn groaned and Peyton laughed.

"That's the same thing Roman said", she said.

"Alright, I will tell you how royals expect you to act, if that's what you meant.", Peyton said.

Lynn nodded. On their way to Ruby, Peyton told her the ins and outs of royal expectations. It was a lot and Lynn didn't know if she could remember it all.

When they got to Ruby, Peyton pointed towards a huge mansion overlooking the region.

"Don't tell me…", she stopped.

"Yup, that's where they grew up. Seth and Dean's parents lived close by, never in town", Peyton said.

"Now I'm nervous again", Lynn said.

Peyton squeezed her hand.

"You'll be fine", Peyton whispered.
