Once she reached the sight, she could see Roman's men digging up and setting flags for each corner of the future building. She knew what each color meant. Water and electrical lines. Roman was talking to his dad while looking over the blue prints.
She walked over to them.
"Sorry to interrupt", she said, clearing her throat.
Both men turned to look at her. A smile formed on Roman's face.
"Hi hun, my dad and I were just going over the plans and I showed him the drawing of what it will look like when done", Roman said, sounding excited.
She kissed Sika's cheek.
"Well, I love the plans son. Knowing you designed it, makes it better", Sika said, patting his son's shoulder.
He left them to speak to some of the other men.
"Why the visit?", he asked, taking her hand.
"I went to see Seth this morning, you know to tell him about what we discussed", she said.
He nodded.
"And? How did it go?", he asked.
"Not good. He threatened me again with taking Noah. Said if we even try to stop him, his lawyers would be on us and that he won't lose.", Diana said.
Roman squeezed her shoulders. He could feel how tense she was.
"I hate him so much right now, but I know its not him. It's the drugs doing the talking. I know it", she said.
"I believe you", he said.
"What do we do? I don't want you to lose Noah, I don't want to lose him either. How do we protect him? I don't know how to protect him.", Diana said, panic setting in.
Roman pulled her in and tightened his grip on her, kissing the top of her head.
"We can't panic just yet, okay. We have options too", he replied.
She pulled out of his arms and paced.
"But not options like his. What judge is not going to give him custody. Especially after they find out we put you down as his father knowing you weren't.", she said.
He stopped her.
"I will figure it out. Don't I always? I have never let you down and I won't start now.", he said.
She wrapped her arms around him.
"He wants to sit down with us and discuss sharing Noah. This just means he's going to set the rules and we have no choice but to follow them.", Diana said.
"We will give him what he wants while we find a way to gain full custody", he replied.
Dean had listened as Roman went on and on about how much of an asshole Seth was. Dean agreed. They had reached a friendly level again and he just had to ruin it. He found the motel Seth was staying in and knocked on his door.
The door opened to a half naked woman, she raised a brow.
"Can I help you?", she asked.
"I don't think so, I'm looking for a friend", he said.
"Dean?", he heard Seth call.
Dean looked around the woman to see his once friend, shirtless and hair a mess on his head. Another man was in there as well. Dean stepped in as the woman closed the door behind him.
"Hey buddy, came to party", Seth smirked.
Dean could tell he was high. More women around the room. One walked over to Seth and got on her knees in front of him. Dean felt sick to his stomach.
"Are you fucking kidding me right now?", Dean asked, his eyes looking at the ceiling.
Seth chuckled before pushing the woman off him.
"Not now, go to the other room and give me and my friend a second", Seth said.
The women left. Drew stood and smirked at Dean before following the women. Seth gestured to the empty chair.
"No thanks, I'm good", he said, preferring to stand.
Not knowing what's been going on in this room.
"What the fuck Seth? How could you do this? What is wrong with you? Then threatening Roman and Diana, seriously. All they want to do is help you, I want to help you", Dean shouted.
"Help me? By taking my son away from me again?", Seth shouted.
"Only till you are clean and sober. You really want to bring Noah into this? Those women? I don't even want him around you like this", Dean shouted.
"I am clean and sober when he's around me. I don't have women around me either. I need him", Seth said.
"He doesn't need you clean and sober only when he's around. He needs you clean and sober all the time. What if something happens to him and you are too busy getting your rocks off, you can't drive. You can't get to him. I will not put my godson through that", Dean said.
"I don't have a problem, Dean. I can control it. I have been doing this since I was twenty", Seth said.
"You think those people care about you? They don't. All they care about is making money off of you. We care about you Seth. No matter what you've done to us, we still care about you and want what's best. This isn't what's best.", Dean said, gesturing around the room.
Seth tried to brush his fingers through his hair, but the knots stopped him.
"I don't want to lose another of my best friends. I don't want another call like that, Seth. Roman and Diana were worried about you, skipped out on their engagement party to go to you.", Dean said.
"Oh my god, I get it. Everything bad is my fault. I left, I did drugs, me, all me", Seth shouted.
"That's not what I'm saying. We all make mistakes, you know I've made plenty. You, Roman, and Victor helped me through them. I know Victor isn't here anymore, but I am. So is Roman, Diana, and Brie. Don't lose the only people who actually care about you. You can make music sober, we always loved your music", Dean said, before walking out the door.
Seth started feeling overwhelmed and felt like everything was slipping out of his hands. He was losing control. He felt a hand on his shoulder.
"You okay?", Drew asked, before taking back his seat.
No, he wasn't okay. He wanted to scream and cry, wanted the pain to stop. He didn't even know what pain, his body wasn't sore, he wasn't physically hurt. He placed his hand on his bouncing leg, stopping it.
"Rollins?", Drew asked.
Seth looked over at him.
"What?", he asked.
Drew pushed the mirror over to him. Three perfect white lines in the middle of it. He bit his lip so hard he could taste blood. He rubbed his hands on his thighs, digging his nails into them.
"Fuck them. They don't know you like I do.", Drew said, snorting his own lines.
Seth watched him. Feeling the urge to vomit. Is that what he looked like? He quickly stood and grabbed his shirt, putting it on and grabbing his shoes and keys.
"Seth", Drew called to him.
Seth covered his eyes. The sun too bright. He started walking, he didn't know where he was going, he just needed to get out of there.
Dean had closed the bar early, leaving Brie and Diana out of work for now. They decided to pick up Diana's mom and meet Roman's at the bridal store.
"I don't know if I want a big dress. Maybe a simple one", Diana said, as they were going through racks.
"Especially if you want to fit into your dress with a growing belly", Brie said.
Diana's mom and Roman's looked over.
"Are you pregnant?", Patricia asked.
