-16 Years Later-

Lynn was helping Peyton make dinner. They usually had a chef, except Sunday nights. Those nights they liked to call them family nights.

"Paisley can you check the pasta?", Peyton asked her oldest.

Peyton rubbed her almost eight month belly, as she watched her daughter. She and Dean were having a boy again, Prescott Dylan.

Paisley nodded. Lynn smiled, she had seen the flirty looks Paisley and Rao would send each other.

She had informed her husband and had asked him to speak to their oldest. Roman had said he would do it.

Taking all three of his boys running and to work out. Dean and his son, Pearson, had gone with them.

Liam walked into the kitchen.

"Oh, Leslie called, she and AJ are on their way.", he announced.

Lynn nodded. After the twins, AJ and Leslie had two more. Isis Katlynn and Alexander Jonas.

"Is she bringing the dessert?", Lynn asked.

He nodded as Seth walked in, their other daughter following her dad closely. After having thought it over for a few weeks, both men had decided on asking JoJo if she would be willing to have another child for them, Destiny Love. She agreed happily. Their oldest daughter behind them.

"What can I help with aunt Lynn?", Serenity asked.

"If you don't mind peeling the potatoes", Lynn replied.

Serenity nodded and washed her hands and the potatoes before peeling them.

"Why aren't you girls training? I would have thought you would have gone with my husband", Lynn asked.

"He said something about needing alone time with his boys, and he was taking Rao to pick out his guardian.", Liam replied for them.

Lynn nodded.

"I just heard your boys out front. Might want to tell them to get in the shower before dinner", Seth said.

Lynn nodded and wiped her hands before walking towards the front. Hearing the commotion outside, she smirked.

Roman had loved the fact that they had all boys. Teaching them to wrestle and work out.

Walking out front, she crossed her arms over her chest. Rao was wrestling with Romeo.

Roman watched with pride from the side. Their youngest, Rosey beside him, also watching his brothers. Creed sitting beside Roman.

Reign, Creed and Rain's pup together walked over to her. She gently scratch behind the ears.

"Alright, it's almost dinner time. I need you all to go and wash up", she said.

Her boys nodded and Roman followed them inside. He stopped and kissed her.

"How was your run?", she asked.

Roman nodded as they walked into the castle.

"Did you talk to him?", Lynn whispered.

"Babe, I will talk to him", Roman replied.

Lynn had felt like they had to bring a certain topic up to their son after catching Rao and Paisley alone in his room.

They had said nothing happened, but apart of Lynn didn't believe that.

"Ro, Paisley is Dean's baby girl, his only one. If Rao crosses a line, which I'm not saying he will, but teenage hormones…", Roman chuckled and stopped her.

"I got our son.", he whispered.

She nodded. Paisley came out of the kitchen and stopped when she saw a shirtless Rao.

Rao blushed and smiled.

"Hi Paisley", he said nervously.

She blushed and bowed her head just a bit as she waved to him.

"My mom just asked me to help Queen Leslie", she almost whispered.

Lynn and Roman watched as the teens stared at each other. Paisley quickly past the boys and Lynn and Roman.

"Hi Paisley", Romeo teased.

"Oh Paisley, you're so pretty.", Rosey joined in on the teasing.

Both boys started making kissing noises. Rao punched both his brothers in the arms.

"Alright boys, that's enough", Lynn said.

She looked up at her husband and gave him a look.

"I'll talk to him before my shower", he nodded.

"Thank you", she said, slapping his butt as he made his way to the stairs.

"Mom, gross, don't do that to dad", Rosey said, making a face.

"Hey, just appreciating a nice ass, and your dad has the best one", she said, knowing how her sons get when she talks about Roman that way.

All three boys groaned and made faces. She giggled. Roman winked at her.

"Did you find your guardian?", she asked Rao.

He nodded with a smile.

"I get to bring him home in a week", he replied.

"Dad left us in the training room. Not fair", Romeo mumbled.

"You'll understand when you are older.", Lynn explained.

Romeo nodded.


Roman knocked on his oldest door. Rao smiled and sat on his bed.

"So, I think you and I need to have a little talk", he said, sitting beside his son.

"About what?", Rao asked.

"You and Paisley, being alone in your room together. Sex", Roman said.

Rao stood quickly.

"Dad", he groaned.

"Look, I just want you to understand that unlike other teenage boys, you can't be out here sleeping with all kinds of girls. Besides that, your mother and I taught you better than that.", Roman said.

Rao nodded.

"You will be King one day, and I don't want someone trying to take that from you because they feel like you would rather worry about where you will get your next lay from", Roman said.

"I know dad, you taught me about Hunter and Shawn. That won't be me", Rao said.

Since that situation was apart of history, Rao had to learn it. Especially since the throne would be his.

"But most of all, Paisley is someone's daughter. One of your best friends. Mine and your mom's goddaughter.", Roman said.

"I know dad", Rao mumbled.

"I just don't want you to hurt her, and lose that friendship. If you aren't serious, don't go there. I made that mistake, son. Not waiting for the love of my life", Roman said.

Rao nodded.

"I really like her dad, and I know I have all eyes on me. I would never hurt Paisley that way, ever", Rao said.

Roman nodded.

"So what happened the night your mom walked in on you two?", Roman asked.

Rao blushed.

"We just kissed, that is all", Rao said.

Roman nodded.

"Condoms…", Roman started.

"Oh dad", Rao groaned.

Roman stood and handed his son a box.

"Just, in case", Roman said.

Rao took the box and nodded. Roman and Lynn thought it was better to be safe than sorry.

"Now get showered up, dinner in a few minutes", Roman said.

"Dad", Rao said.

He turned to look at his son.

"How do I know if she's the one?", Rao asked.

"When you know you can't live without her", Roman replied.

Rao smiled.


Once everyone was ready for dinner, they sat.

"So Rao, your dad tells me you picked out your guardian", AJ said.

Rao nodded proudly.

"Yes, the bond is already starting, I can feel it", Rao replied.

"That's good. A bond between a man and his guardian is special", AJ said.

Roman nodded.

"Twins, have you picked your guardians?", Roman asked.

"Yes", they replied together.

Hazel was the oldest, so she would take over for her dad when the time came.

"I'm glad we agreed to do this every Sunday. It's nice to just sit down and relax", Liam said.

Everyone nodded. They took turns doing dinner either on Ruby region or Sapphire.

"Uncle Roman, can we train later?", Faith asked.

"Sure", he nodded.

"Dad was busy working, we didn't have time to do it", Hazel said.

AJ chuckled.

"The region doesn't take care of itself", AJ replied.

"My boys are the same way", Roman said.


During training, Roman handled things with Rosey. His youngest was still struggling.

"Ro, don't put your foot there, your enemy would be able to sweep it easily", Seth said to Rosey.

Rosey groaned.

"Your brothers didn't get it right away either. Don't worry", Roman said to his youngest.

Rosey nodded as he pet Creed. Roman noticed Rao helping Paisley. He sent his oldest a look.

He watched his twin nieces train.

"You trained them well", Roman said.

"Thanks, I think I struggled more in getting them to start. They learned it quickly though", AJ said.

"They know each others every move", Liam said.

AJ nodded.


That night, Lynn was getting ready for bed. Roman was laying on their bed.

"You okay?", she asked, giggling.

"No, my back is aching again", he mumbled.

She climbed onto the bed and sat on his butt. She started rubbing his back.

"Old age", he chuckled.

"But still so good looking. The sexiest man I have ever seen", she whispered by his ear.

He smiled.

"Same goes for you, my wife", he replied.

She moved to sit beside him and he climbed over her.

"I thought your back was hurting?", she asked.

"It magically healed", he said.

She laughed as his hands found her hips.

"Oh really", she said.

He nodded and kissed her neck. He smiled down at her.

"You happy?", he asked.

"Of course. Did I do something that would make you think I wasn't?", she asked.

"No, just asking.", he replied.

She nodded and kissed him.

"Love you", she whispered.

"I love you too baby", he replied.
