Meeting Roman at Dean's bar made Seth a little nervous. He didn't know how angry Roman really was at him. Noah kept Roman calm and collected, but when Noah wasn't around, would Roman jump.

The bar doors opened and Roman walked in. A few guys said hi to him and shook his hand. He waved to Dean and Brie before spotting him and walking over.

Seth stood.

"Thanks for coming", Seth said.

"I have no choice. This is about Noah and anything involving my son, I have to hear out", Roman said.

Seth nodded. They sat, Dean brought over two beers. He pulled up a chair and sat down.

"Dean", Seth said.

Dean wiped his hands on a white towel.

"Hell no am I leaving you two alone.", Dean said, crossing his arms over his chest.

Seth nodded and looked at Roman.

"Firstly, I want to apologize for the things I said about you to Noah. It wasn't right and I really do hate myself for it", Seth said.

Roman nodded.

"I was jealous, okay. It felt like the only reason you chose to raise him was to get back at me for taking Diana in high school", Seth said.

"I would never do that", Roman said.

"I know. You did a fucking wonderful job with him. Honestly, I think he's more you than me. I would have just fucked him up", Seth said.

"Don't say that", Roman said.

"You know I would have. I would have resented him for making me lose my dreams to raise him. I didn't want to resent him, Ro. It's why I left without him and Diana", Seth said.

Roman and Dean nodded.

"Then when you and D told him that I knew about him and left. My first thought was that you were trying to ruin my relationship with him, and I didn't even have one yet. Dean made a point though, you were being honest with him and sparing my feelings wouldn't help", Seth said.

Roman nodded.

"We weren't trying to hurt you by telling him that. D and I made a promise to each other that when Noah was older and could understand this better, we would tell him the truth about all of us", Roman said.

"I know", Seth said.

"That little boy means more to me than you would ever know. From the second that I held him in my arms, I loved him. He was mine in every possible way, but blood", Roman said.

"And I thank you for that. For loving him the way a father should.", Seth said.

"That means a lot coming from you", Roman said.

Seth lifted his beer bottle and Roman did the same. Hitting each others glass before taking a drink.

"Still best friends?", Seth asked.

"Never stopped brother", Roman said.

"My guys", Dean said, placing a hand on each of their shoulders.

Roman and Seth chuckled.

"Oh, by the way, thanks for the truck. It's a beauty", Seth said.

"You're welcome. You kept telling us how no record label has signed you, we figured you could drive across towns and back looking for gigs", Roman said.

Seth nodded. The bar doors opened again and Diana walked in for her shift at work. She said bye to Brie before spotting Roman and the guys. She smiled and walked over.

Setting her arm around Roman, he looked up and kissed her.

"Hi my love", she said, wiping the lipstick she left on his lips.

"Hi", he replied.

"Everything okay here?", she asked.

Roman looked at Seth and nodded.

"We're good", Roman said.

She nodded.

"Whoa, look at that thing", Dean said, taking Diana's left hand.

She smiled.

"Congratulations guys", Dean said, hugging Diana.

Seth smiled.

"Yeah, congrats", Seth said.

"Thanks", Diana said.

She looked at Roman. His arm around her waist.

"I moved in a few things today.", she said.

He smiled.

"I guess I should start packing up my apartment. I can move in those things right now.", Roman said.

She nodded.

"We staying there tonight?", she asked.

"Do you want too?", he asked.

"Its our house, so yeah", she said.

"See you at home then", he replied.

She nodded and left them to fill in for Brie.

"You should have been the one to take her to prom. You should have been the one dating her. I knew you liked her and yet, I asked her out. You were this golden boy and everyone loved you. Everyone wanted to be your friend.", Seth said, shaking his head at the end.

"You wanted to hurt me", Roman finished.

"A little, yes. The one thing you wanted, I took. To hurt you", Seth said.

Roman nodded.

"I forgive you for that too", Roman said.

Seth nodded.

"So what happened with football? You had that scholarship", Seth said.

Roman sighed.

"They took it back. That last concussion I got scared them a bit. They didn't want to risk it", Roman said.

"I'm sorry. I know how much you were looking forward to playing", Seth said.

Roman nodded.

"I was, but I got something better out of it.", Roman said, his eyes finding Diana.

Seth smiled.

"Also, sorry about my mom. You know she's always been like that. I'm her only son and she just doesn't want to believe that it was me who caused all this", Seth said.

"Diana and I can take some of the blame. Your mom was right about one thing, we could have told them about Noah. Honestly, I was a bit afraid of saying anything.", Roman said.

"Why?", Seth asked confused.

"That once they knew, they would call you and tell you to come home. That you would listen and take Noah away from me.", Roman said.

Seth nodded.

"I do want to try to have a relationship with him, Rome. You're his father, I know that, I get that. Maybe I can be cool uncle Seth or something. I just want to be in his life", Seth said.

"The cool uncle role is already taken", Dean said, raising his hand.

Roman and Seth chuckled.

"Sorry, okay. Maybe just uncle Seth then", Seth said.

Roman nodded.

"I think Noah would like that. I'll talk to D about it too", Roman said.

Seth nodded.

"Maybe you all can come down to L.A. and I can show you around. The best places to eat", Seth said excited.

"Sounds like fun", Dean said.

"I'm sure Brie could use a break. The women can go sight seeing while we go to the beach or something", Seth said.

Roman wasn't quiet sure they were there yet. With time he was sure to reach that level of friendship again.

"Anyone in your life?", Roman asked, wanting to change the subject.

Seth sighed.

"I've been out on a few dates, but none that stuck. It's hard dating in L.A.", Seth said.

Dean and Roman chuckled.

"How big is your house?", Dean asked.

"Its not a mansion if that's what you're thinking. It's a five bedroom, four bath, house. There's a gate blocking out fans and paparazzi, nice big backyard with a pool", Seth said.

The guys nodded.

"Have you shown him the house you built D?", Dean asked Roman.

"No", Roman said.

"You built her a house? Neat. Can I see it?", Seth asked.

Roman nodded.

"I can't go, but you two have fun. Bond", Dean said.

Roman raised a brow. Dean winked at him. Seth chuckled.

"Smooth Ambrose, still so smooth", Seth said.

Diana looked at Roman when he approached her.

"I'm going to show him the house", he said.

She nodded.

"Be good", she whispered.

He leaned down and kissed her. Roman drove towards the house in his truck and Seth took his.

"Wow, this place is beautiful", Seth whistled.

"Yeah. Everything D wanted I put into the house. She thought I was building it for someone else, I asked her for help with the details.", Roman said.

"Not even realizing she was building her own home", Seth said.

Roman nodded.

"Let's go in", Roman said.

Seth followed. Showing him the downstairs before climbing the stairs.

"Noah picked this room", Roman said.

"Nice view", Seth said.

Roman nodded.

"Are you two planning on having more kids?", Seth asked, as Roman took him out to the balcony.

"Now you sound like Noah", Roman chuckled.

Seth laughed softly.

"He wants a sibling", Seth said.

Roman nodded.

"We want too. If it happens it happens, you know.", Roman said.

Seth nodded.

"I missed you, my brother", Seth suddenly said.

Roman nodded and looked at Seth.

"Me too", he replied.
