"I am not my mother, or we are not our mothers", Sabrina said.

"Anyone could say that, but as they say, actions speak louder than words", Lynn replied.

"We won't lie, over time we've heard stories about you and King Reigns. At first we believed them, but then we heard different stories from strangers. We questioned our moms and they got defensive", Breanne replied.

"That made us second guess them", Sabrina added.

Roman looked at his wife. He would not agree if his wife didn't.

"We can keep telling you how different we are from them, but they have done too much damage. Sabrina and I want to show you, and if you sponsor us, we will", Breanne said.

"If we get the council to agree, you two will be on a two month trial run.", Lynn explained.

Breanne and Sabrina nodded.

"That means first strike and you two are out.", Sika said.

"Do we get a chance to defend ourselves if we are blamed for something we didn't do?", Sabrina asked.

Her expression reminded Lynn of Sasha. She gripped Roman's thigh and he raised a brow in her direction.

"Sorry", she whispered.

He lifted her hand to his lips and kissed it. Letting her know it was alright. Lynn noticed Sabrina's eyes on her when she faced the girls again.

"Yes of course. We still run an honest region. You will have your side heard as well", Sika had answered.

"How will the sponsorship work?", Breanne asked.

"We would have you living in one of the houses on the property, close. We will provide food and drinks. Clothes, books, basically anything you would need for school", Lynn replied.

"Would we have a curfew?", Sabrina asked.

"We heard from the Ambrose kids that they had one. Something about eight thirty", Breanne said.

Roman cleared his throat.

"Ours is ten, and since we will be the ones sponsoring you, yours will be ten as well.", he replied.

Roman always felt Dean was a bit strict with his kids, but who was Roman to question another parents ways.

He certainly wouldn't like it if Dean questioned his way.

"No boys allowed in your home", Lynn added.

"Homework right after you get home before you do anything else. You will train with the rest of the kids before dinner. We also expect you to keep your home clean", Roman continued.

"Would our mothers be able to visit?", Breanne asked.

Roman and Lynn looked at each other. That was something they had forgotten to discuss. Sika cleared his throat.

"On that we will get back to you. Your mothers did a lot of damage to a lot of people.", Sika said.

"We understand", Breanne replied softly.

They both knew their moms had done bad things, but they were still their mothers and they loved them.

"When will we know if we are sponsored?", Sabrina asked.

"Two weeks at the most.", Sika replied.

Since he was on the council, he knew more. The girls nodded.

"You two can go. There is a driver outside that will take you back to Earth X", Roman said.

Both girls stood, but Breanne stopped by the door and looked at them.

"Even if the council says no, thank you for at least considering it.", she said.

Lynn nodded. Breanne shut the door behind her. As they made their way downstairs, Rao met them at the bottom.

"How did it go? Wasn't so bad, right? My parents are pretty understanding", he said.

"It went fine, Rao. They were lovely", Breanne said with a smile.

He sighed.

"Come on, I will walk you two out", he said, gesturing them towards the front door.

They followed and a driver held the door open for the girls. Sabrina was the first one in. Breanne looked at Rao and quickly kissed his cheek.

Both blushed.

"What was that for?", he asked.

"For being kind to us. We came into this expecting everyone to throw stones, but you didn't let them. So, thank you", she said.

He nodded with a smile. She got into the car and he waved as it drove away.


Sika had gone home with all the information he needed. Roman sat at his desk as his wife paced in front of it.

"I don't want those women near my home or my children", Lynn finally said.

It was hard for her to come to this decision. Especially because it involved kids. She knew that if anyone ever tried to keep her away from her boys, she would be heart broken.

But then again, she wasn't Sasha or Bayley. She wouldn't have done the malicious things they did.

She was sure they loved their girls. They had too if they were willing to send them to school so far away from them.

"As you wish, my Queen", he replied.

"I am doing the right thing here, right? I mean, I'm looking out for my family here", Lynn added.

"I don't trust them", Roman said.

Lynn nodded.

"I feel bad telling them no, but I am doing the right thing. They can always go and visit their moms. There's Thanksgiving break, Christmas, and New Years. Right?", Lynn said.

Roman nodded.

"Those women brought this on themselves. I think you made a great decision and I will stand by you", Roman said.

Lynn nodded and walked over to him, kissing him.

"And sorry about your thigh. She just, looked so much like her mom I couldn't stand it", Lynn sighed.

"Its okay", he replied.


Before bed, Rao had asked to speak to his dad alone. Meeting in his office since no one could hear them inside.

"So what's up Rao?", he asked.

"Did you, um, when you met mom was there…", his son stopped.

Roman didn't want to rush him. Letting his son collect his thoughts. Rao sighed.

"Did you ever have feelings for another woman when you were with mom?", he finally asked.

Roman sat up.

"Never. I knew in my heart that no other woman could ever fill the space your mother had in my heart or soul.", he replied.

Rao nodded.

"Why do you ask?", he asked.

"When Breanne and I see each other, its like, I feel this attraction to her. Like, she's pretty just, she's not Paisley", he explained.

Roman smiled.

"Kid, what you feel towards Breanne is just what you said. Attraction, but other than that how do you feel when you talk to her? When you see her for the first time that day?", Roman said.

Rao shrugged.

"Like I'm talking to Hazel or Faith, even Serenity", he replied.

"And when you talk to Paisley?", Roman asked.

Rao smiled.

"Like I never want to run out of things to say, just so I can keep her with me just a little longer", he replied.

Roman smiled.

"Just be careful with that attraction, okay. You might think nothing could come of it, but in certain situations, things happen", Roman said.

Rao nodded.

"Thanks dad", he replied.

"Of course. Have you spoken to Paisley about this?", his dad asked.

"I mentioned it", he replied.

"And how did she take it?", Roman asked.

"Upset. I did explain to her that there was no one else for me. I know in my heart that Paisley is it", Rao said.

Roman could tell by the look on his son's face, that he was being honest with him and himself.

"Good. I suggest you talk again, reassure her. Especially with the possibility that they might move in soon", Roman said.

Rao nodded.


He couldn't wait till morning. Rao didn't want Paisley sneaking out, so he walked over to the front door and knocked.

Dean answered.

"Rao? Is everything okay son?", he asked.

"Oh, yes. I just was hoping to speak to Paisley for a second. If that's okay with you", Rao said.

"It's a bit late for that, isn't?", he asked.

Peyton was listening behind Dean.

"I know sir, but its too important to wait", Rao said.

"Rao…", Peyton moved beside her husband.

"Paisley will be out in a second and only for fifteen minutes", Peyton said.

Rao sighed and nodded with a smile. She closed the door and Dean raised a brow.

"Paisley, Rao is here to see you", Peyton called to her daughter.

"I didn't agree to this", Dean said.

Peyton nodded.

"Don't you trust him with our girl?", she asked.

"I use too. Now he's a teenage horny boy", Dean answered.

Peyton laughed softly.

"Its fifteen minutes", Peyton said.

"Oh trust me, a teenage boy only needs fifteen minutes", Dean replied.

Peyton playfully slapped his shoulder as Paisley came down. She looked between her parents.

"Fifteen minutes", Peyton said to her.

Paisley smiled and nodded before making her way outside to find Rao.

"We knew this was inevitable. She can't find a better boy for her. Roman and Lynn raised him right", Peyton said.

Dean sighed.

"I know", he mumbled.

She kissed his cheek.


Paisley found Rao in the garden by her favorite fountain. The lights changed color in the water.

"Hi", she said.

He turned to face her.

"Hi", he replied.

"So why did you want to see me?", she asked, worried.

"Its about Breanne", he started.

She was nervous now. Did something happen between them? When though? She was always around Rao.
