As to not scare Noah, Diana let Roman and her mom know where they were going.
"I don't know if I feel comfortable letting you two go to the hospital with his mom being there as well", Diana's mom said.
"I don't either, but he is Noah's dad. I am going for Noah", Diana said.
Her mom nodded.
"Don't worry, I won't let Seth's mom near her", Roman said.
Her mom nodded and kissed his cheek.
"I'll bring Noah home with me, text me when you know anything", his mom said.
He nodded as they left. Getting in the car, Roman looked over to Diana.
"What are you thinking?", he asked.
It would take about an hour to get to the next town, counting traffic at this time. They had plenty of time to talk.
She shrugged.
"All sorts of things. I mean, is he sick? What could have caused him to pass out? Do you think that's why its so important for him to get to know Noah?", she asked.
"Could be, but we know why he came back, it was for Victor. He wanted Noah to hurt me.", Roman said.
She looked over to him.
"You said he was Noah's dad", he said, eyes still on the road.
"What?", she asked.
"When you explained to your mom why we had to go see Seth. You said it was because he was Noah's dad", he said.
She reached over and squeezed his arm.
"I'm sorry", she said softly.
"Its fine, I get it", he replied with a smile.
Diana knew they needed to lighten the mood.
"So, how happy do you think Mrs. Rollins will be to see us?", she asked.
Roman laughed.
"So freaking happy", he replied.
She giggled.
After Roman's mom filled him and Brie in on where Diana and Roman disappeared too, they understood. Dean wanted to leave as well and drive to the hospital, but with Noah here, he couldn't just leave.
The party was winding down with relatives letting Diana and Roman's moms to let them know when the wedding will be.
Brie nudged him.
"No date?", she asked, helping him dry the dishes he washed.
He chuckled.
"Nope, going solo to the wedding too", he replied with a smirk.
She nodded.
"Hey, maybe we can go together.", she replied.
He swallowed and nodded gently.
"Yeah, sounds like a plan", he replied.
She smiled.
"Well, unless you find someone else to take", she said, putting the plate to the side.
"Not happening", he mumbled.
"What?", she asked.
He shook his head.
"And we are dancing, Dean. More than one song too, you aren't getting out of it", she said.
"Wouldn't plan on it", he replied.
"Uncle Dean", Noah called.
Dean quickly turned to Noah.
"Can I sleep over at your house? Please", his godson asked.
"Of course kid. Just let your grandma know", he replied.
Noah celebrated before running to find his grandma. Brie giggled.
"He loves you so much. All the kids do. Cool uncle Dean", Brie said.
He shut off the water when they finished.
"Well what can I say, I am just that lovable.", he smiled.
Brie did too. He had always been cute, if she hadn't dated Vic, she would have asked Diana to set her up with Dean. She touched his cheek gently without thinking. She felt him lean into it. When she realized what was going on, she quickly removed her hand and cleared her throat.
"I should, find my kids and get them home", she said, before starting to leave the kitchen.
He nodded.
"Oh, hey Brie", he called.
She stopped and faced him.
"Thanks for helping, you know, dry", he said, blushing and pointing to the dishes.
She nodded before wiggling her fingers bye. He sighed when she left.
"You know", he jumped at the sound of Diana's mom's voice.
He turned to see her with a smile.
"Vic once said that if anything happened to him, he would want Brie to move on with you. She laughed, probably thinking he was joking, but I knew he wasn't.", she said.
He swallowed.
"I couldn't. Its too soon, and even if it wasn't", he stopped, not knowing what he was going to say.
"I know how much you loved my son, but I knew him better than you and Brie did. He would be happy for you both. So would my husband and I.", she said.
He could feel tears welling up in his eyes.
"I know it would feel like you were betraying him, but you aren't. He knows you would take care of Brie and the kids. As long as you make them happy, he is good, even from up there in heaven", she said.
He nodded with a smile. She was about to leave, but stopped, facing him again.
"If she brings another man home that isn't you, I will drag you by your ear", she said.
Dean laughed softly and nodded.
"I won't let that happen", he replied.
She winked.
"Good", she smiled.
When Roman and Diana got to the hospital, they walked in and asked the nurse for Seth.
"Family?", she asked.
"He's my son's birth father", Diana replied.
The nurse nodded.
"If you can follow me, Mrs. Rollins", she replied.
"Oh", before Diana could tell her she wasn't married to Seth, the nurse already turned the corner.
She tried to take Roman's hand, but he pushed his into his pockets. She knew he didn't like the Mrs. Rollins part. Getting to the room, Seth's dad saw them and smiled. They hugged him.
"What happened?", Roman asked.
"He passed out", he replied.
"We get that part, but why?", Roman said, losing his patience.
Seth's dad walked them out of Seth's room and to the hall.
"They found drugs in his system when they brought him in.", he whispered.
Diana and Roman looked at each other before looking back at Seth's dad.
"He's going to be fine, but, not if he continues down this path", he sighed.
"Who called you both?", they turned to see Seth's mom.
"I did. They had a right to know, for Noah", her husband replied.
"You shouldn't have, this is her fault to begin with. If you would have just kept your legs closed and away from my son.", she started to shout.
Roman stood in front of Diana, but she pushed him aside.
"This, isn't my fault. I didn't shove those drugs in his face. Your son asked me out, and as for spreading my legs, it takes two to tango. Should I have been more careful, yes I should have, but also him.", Diana yelled.
His mom's face was red from anger.
"Maybe, this was your fault. You are the one who let him go. You are the one who kept him away from me. You, not me, you", Diana shouted.
His mom sighed.
"He didn't want me to give you his new number. I thought he didn't want me to because you cheated, but", she stopped.
She looked into Seth's room.
"I see now, it wasn't you.", she said.
She took Diana's hands.
"I'm sorry, Diana. Maybe if I would have gone against his wishes, you two would be together and happy. He wouldn't be here", she said.
That made Roman feel sick to his stomach.
"He needs you Diana, you and Noah. You were always good for him", his mom said excited.
Roman wanted to yell, fuck no, but this wasn't a good time. Why wasn't Diana telling her to shove it? Can't this woman see the ring on her finger?
Roman took a few steps away, feeling like a fly on the wall. Diana had said that she took Seth away from her. From her. Diana didn't know what to say to that. If she was her younger self, she would have jumped at the chance, but she wasn't her younger self.
"I'm sorry, I can't be what he needs and neither can Noah. I won't put him through that.", she answered.
Roman was relieved.
"I'm engaged and in love with someone else. I will be there as a friend, but nothing more", Diana replied.
She finally looked at Roman and smiled.
"We will be there for him", she corrected herself.
Seth's mom, though sad about it, accepted it.
"Too little too late", she replied.
"I'm afraid so", Diana said.
Roman cleared his throat.
"I'm going to step out and let Dean know he's okay, also check on Noah", he said softly.
Everyone nodded as he left to the waiting room.
"So how is he?", Dean asked.
"Still out, but doctors are sure he will wake up soon", Roman said softly.
"Good, but drugs. Man", Dean sighed.
"I know.", Roman replied.
He had also told Dean what Diana and Seth's mom said to each other.
"Don't take it to heart. That has been a long time coming and you know it. Diana had to say those things and get them off her chest", Dean said.
Roman sighed.
"Yeah, I know, but I didn't like it. I'm hers, not him", Roman mumbled.
Dean laughed.
"She is wearing your ring, brother. She said it, as soon as she finds a dress you two will be married", Dean said.
"Can she find a dress tomorrow", Roman said.
"Brother, relax. Breathe.", Dean said.
Roman did as he said and sat down.
"How's Noah?", he asked.
"Little dude is sleeping. We came home, heated up some leftovers, and played video games till he couldn't stay awake anymore. I got my godson", Dean said.
Roman smiled.
"I know. Thanks Dean, talk to you tomorrow", Roman said.
He put his phone away and closed his eyes, leaning back into the seat for a few seconds.
"Did you fall asleep on me?", he lifted his head and opened his eyes to see Diana.
He smiled.
"I would never", he replied, taking her hand.
"Seth is awake", she said.
He stood and started walking towards the room. She pulled him back, stopping him. He met her eyes as she held his head between her hands.
"You are mine, for the rest of our lives", she whispered.
He relaxed and smiled.
"You heard", he whispered.
She nodded.
"Kiss?", she asked.
He closed the space between them and kissed.
