Noah was on his bed, laying his head on his pillow. A picture of him and Roman sitting on his desk. He grabbed it and pushed it into his desk drawer. Someone knocked on his door and he sat on his bed to see his grandpa walk in.

"Come and join me here on the end of the bed", his grandpa said.

Noah did. His grandpa patted his knee.

"Now, tell me why you said those things to your father?", his grandpa asked.

"Roman isn't my dad, Seth is", Noah said.

His grandpa nodded.

"I see. Okay, so let me ask you this. What makes Seth your father?", his grandpa said.

That confused Noah, before he realized something.

"I know where babies come from grandpa", Noah said, blushing.

His grandpa laughed.

"I'm not asking that.", he said.

Noah shrugged.

"He and my mom made me, that makes him my dad", Noah said.

His grandpa nodded.

"You want to know what makes a father from my point of view?", he asked his grandson.

Noah nodded.

"A father to me is someone who loves you, who cares for you, and who would do anything and everything he could for you", his grandpa said.

Noah looked down.

"Your father, Roman, he would do anything for you. He worked nonstop and took extra classes at school just to make sure that when you came into this world, he could give you what you needed", his grandpa said.

"He did?", Noah asked.

"He did. He saw your first steps, he heard your first word, and when you were sick, he never left your side. Helped your mom when she was to tired to change your diapers. When you had school meetings or shows, he was there. Every game, he went to cheer you on. Helped you practice, helped you with your homework. Did he not do all those things?", his grandpa said.

"He did", Noah said.

"Roman loves you, blood or not, you and your mom are his world", his grandpa said.

"But Seth", his grandpa stopped him.

"Blood doesn't make a man a father. Being there for his son does, at least to me. Same goes for moms.", his grandpa said.

"Mom told me that Seth knew about me, but that he left and never came back till now. He only came back for uncle Victor", Noah said.

"He did leave, and he might have come for uncle Victor, but I hope he stays for you, and maybe comes and visits once in awhile to see you", his grandpa said.

"Seth said that Roman, I mean, my dad, that he only put me in sports because it didn't work out for him", Noah said.

"Roman did have a chance to make it big in football and it was taken from him, but he would never force you to do something just because he did when he was young. Do you like football?", his grandpa said.

Noah nodded.

"I love it", Noah answered.

"Then you keep playing. If you were to tell Roman that you hated it and didn't want to play football anymore, he would say okay and try to help you find something you love to do", his grandpa said.

Noah nodded. He knew his grandpa was right. When his parents put him in golf, he had told his dad he didn't like it. Roman pulled him out right away.

"Seth also told me that the only reason my dad stayed with my mom was because he had a crush on her when Seth was dating her", Noah said.

His grandpa laughed.

"Roman, yes, he is in love with your mom, always has been. Your uncle Victor and I always hoped they would end up together. Roman is a good man, a man your mom deserves, but that isn't the only reason he stayed with her. He stayed for you, you weren't even born yet and he called himself your dad", his grandpa said.

Noah nodded.

"If he could do it all again without changing a thing. He would", he said.

"I was really mean to him", Noah said.

"He'll understand and forgive you, because he loves you", his grandpa said.

"Its just, everything is so confusing now", Noah said.

"I know, but what you shouldn't be confused about, is if you can trust Roman. You know him, Noah. You have always been able to talk to him", his grandpa said.

Noah nodded.

"I should apologize to my dad", Noah said.

"I think your mom can take you to see him if you asked her", his grandpa said.

Noah nodded and hugged him before running downstairs. His mom was with his grandma in the kitchen.

"Mom", he said.

Diana looked at him.

"Can we go see dad?", he asked.

"Which dad?", she asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

He bit his lip before meeting her eyes again.

"Roman", he said.

She smiled and nodded. She grabbed her keys and they got in her grandpa's truck. Driving to the bar his uncle owned.

"I'm sorry mom, I didn't mean to hurt dad's feelings", Noah said.

Diana smiled.

"I know, and dad knows too. He loves you and knows right now its confusing for you.", she replied.

"I hope he forgives me", Noah said softly.

"He will bud.", she said.

Roman finished his beer.

"Noah is just confused right now, Rome", Brie said.

He nodded.

"I know. Seth is still a dead man", Roman said.

"Hey, I'm not arguing with that", Brie said, winking.

He smiled.

"How are you doing?", he asked.

She crossed her arms over her chest.

"The house feels different, and I miss him so much, but I've got kids who need me and I know that he wouldn't want me to forget that. We always told each other that we would mourn and then straighten up because we had them", she said.

"Sounds like Victor", Roman nodded.

"I cry when I'm alone though, that helps.", she said.

"Well if you ever need anything B, I'm a phone call away. We're family. Even if its just to cry", Roman said.

Brie smiled and squeezed his hand.

"Thanks. By the way, I heard from a little bird that you and D made it official", she said.

Roman smiled.

"Dean, I swear, you gossip more than a woman does", Roman said, loud enough for his friend to hear.

"I was just catching her up", Dean shouted back.

He and Brie laughed.

"Yes, we did. Here is something Dean doesn't know", Roman said, as he reached into his pocket.

Dean quickly made his way over to them.

"I heard my name and gossip in the same sentence", Dean said.

Brie laughed and nudged him. Dean smiled. Roman knew his friend had always had a crush on Brie, but stepped aside after Victor announced that he had asked her out in high school. Dean telling Roman not to say anything to Victor. Giving up his happiness for his best friend.

Victor never knew Dean liked Brie, or at least, never said he knew. Roman opened the small box and showed them the ring.

"I don't want to date her, we've basically been doing that since Noah was cooking. I want her to be my wife", Roman said.

Brie hugged him.

"Good idea and I'm so happy for you. You be good to her", Brie said.

"You know I will", Roman said.

Dean hugged him as well. Roman put the ring back in his pocket. He had planned to ask her today when he showed her and Noah the house, but Seth had ruined it.

The doors to the bar opened and Dean nodded towards it.

"Your family", he said to Roman.

Roman turned to see his girl and his son. Noah ran over to him and hugged him.

"Hey", Roman said, kissing the top of his son's head.

"He wanted to come and see you. Seems we all need to talk", Diana said.

Roman nodded.

"Let's go to a booth buddy", Roman said.

Noah nodded and followed his parents. Diana and Roman sat across from him.

"I'm sorry dad. I was just confused with everything. I should have talked to you too", Noah said.

Roman nodded.

"You're my son, Noah", Roman said.

Noah nodded.

"I know", he said.

"Do you have any questions for us? Maybe Seth said something to you that you want to hear from our point?", Diana asked.

Noah nodded.

"He said that the only reason dad stayed was because of you. Because he had a crush on you", Noah said.

"Truth. Yes, I did have a big crush on your mom, way before you, but I didn't agree to be your dad because of that. When your mom told me she was pregnant, I wished that you would have been mine, I wanted you to be mine. When Seth left, I knew I could be your dad, I was ready to be your dad. Your mom let me", Roman said.

Diana nodded with a smile. Noah did too.

"He also said that you only stayed because you didn't make it as a football player", Noah said.

Roman chuckled.

"Seth doesn't know anything about that.", Roman said.

"Your dad lost his scholarship way before he knew about you.", Diana said.

Roman nodded.

"What was my first word?", Noah asked.

Roman smiled.

"Dada, which your mom hated because she wanted you to say mama first", Roman said.

"I'm still mad at you for that", Diana said to Roman, nudging him.

Noah laughed softly.

"Your dad was so proud of that, he would tell anyone who would listen", Diana said.

"Hell yeah, I was excited", Roman said.

Noah smiled bigger.

"But I think your dad's best moment with you, was when you were born", Diana said.

Roman smiled, remembering that day.

"Why?", Noah asked.

"I delivered you in my room, bud", Roman said.

"What?", Noah asked surprised.

"Yeah. Grandpa and grandma had gone out of town. Uncle Victor and Aunt Brie were on a trip. I had a few more weeks before you would come, but like Noah fashion, you arrived early. I went to Roman's and you just didn't want to wait any longer. Your dad was very brave", Diana said.

Roman kissed the side of her head.

"The moment I held you, Noah. I had never loved someone so much. I was a father, you made me a father, the best gift anyone could give me.", Roman said.

"I love you too, dad", Noah said.

Roman smiled. Noah stood and made his way to his dad's side of the booth and hugged him.

"Seth wants me to meet his parents", Noah said.

"Do you want to meet them?", Diana asked him.

"I do.", he nodded.

"Then we won't stop you", Roman said.

Noah nodded.

"Will you come with me, dad?", Noah asked.

"Of course I will", he replied.

Noah hugged his mom next.

"Now, before it gets too late. I need to show you and mom something", Roman said.

"Is it the surprise you said you had for me and mom?", Noah asked.

Roman nodded.
