Dean was trying his best to distract himself from the issue at hand with his mother. This meant that his phone had been shut off since Wednesday morning and he spent most of his free time trying to get CJ into bed. For the most part he was successful, because CJ was insatiable before big matches. This Saturday morning was something special to him, because Olivia was still fast asleep after eight and CJ was half awake while laying on him and playing with his curls while mumbling to him about how they both needed haircuts. This needed to be how he spent the rest of his life, because he didn't think that he had the ability to function without her.

"I have to piss, your highness."

"That requires moving." She grumbled, burying her head into his neck and earning a chuckle out of him.

"I mean I could probably hold onto you while pissing, but I figured that wasn't anything you're interested in."

"Yeah, I'll pass this time." CJ mumbled, rolling to lay beside him and hiding in their blankets. "We need to talk when you're back."

"About?"

"The reason why your phone is shut off right now." She called after him, knowing that it was probably related to his mother(a subject he wanted to let him handle) but she had to step in now. He was officially hiding from it, which told her that she had to step in for his sake because he obviously couldn't take anymore on his own. But it was also obvious that he wasn't going to ask her for help, which bothered her because they were supposed to hold each other up not watch each other fall while battling demons on their own.

He he came back to bed she was laying on her side with her back to the bathroom so he chose to lay behind her, pulling her to his chest and smiling when she grunted her dissatisfaction towards him.

"My phone is off because my mom called while you were working with Seth and Lesnar and she freaked me the fuck out."

"We need to establish a no contact order."

"I'm already working on it." He assured, rubbing her arm gently. "You know what we should do?"

"Maximize our time while Olive is asleep?"

"That too, but I was thinking that we could start planning our wedding."

"Typically you propose before we plan a wedding, Ambrose." CJ reminded, turning over in his arms do she could face him.

"I know, and I plan on it in the future, but I was thinking that maybe we could at least start planning it so that way you're not stressing out." He explained, watching her carefully as she mulled it over. He hoped that his request and sudden talk of marriage wasn't going to scare her off, because now he was scared just thinking about walking down the isle.

"So...we're going to get married?"

"If that's what you want. I mean, I do want to marry you but if its something you don't want then I'm fine with-"

"Dean, relax." CJ quickly requested, sensing that her boyfriend was on the verge of panicking, pushing him onto his back so that she could straddle him. The air around the bus was frigid and she didn't realize just how old it was until the blanket that once protected her had fallen around her hips. "Shit."

"What?" Dean asked, watching as she scrambled to cover herself up again. "Cold?"

"Yeah, you should've told me that it was freezing in here, asshole." She scolded, gently smacking his chest when he laughed at her. "But seriously, there's nothing I want more than to marry you. But I want the whole experience."

"Experience? Whats part of the experience other that a wedding, after party, and honeymoon spent naked?"

"Being surprised with the proposal, telling all four of my friends, planning the wedding and stressing out. Crying over everything and making sure that this is what you want while struggling to write my vows the night before the wedding." She listed, leaning down to rest her forehead against his with a small smile. "There's a whole emotional roller coaster involved with getting married and I really don't want to miss out on it because we planned it in advance."

"I wouldn't want to rob you of an emotional roller coaster." He mumbled, leaning up to kiss her lips with a smile. On the inside he was freaking out, though, because he couldn't handle seeing her stressed out which made him second guess wanting to get married. How could he willingly put her through all of that just by asking a simple question in a unique way? That was just insane to him.

"You're over-thinking it all, honey badger. We've got all the time in the world."

"So, you're not expecting anything any time soon?"

"Not really. Take your time, babe."


Seth watched as CJ played with Olivia. Dean was out taking care of things, wouldn't tell him what, but requested that he be with the girl just in case something- or some one- showed up. Honestly, Seth didn't think that Dean's mom was dumb enough to come knocking on the door of his bus when she was obviously not welcome but he was grateful that Dean trusted him with the safety and security of the two most important people in his life. It made him feel like he had come a long way since fucking everything up.

"Seth, come here." CJ requested, looking up from the infant to the man sitting at the edge of the bed, smile on her face when he complied and moved to lay beside her. "She looks a bit like you when she laughs."

"Nah," The slightly younger man denied, tickling the infant to make her laugh. "That's you all the way."

"Not even." The blonde laughed, leaning into Seth and smiling when he hesitated a bit before draping his arm across her waist. "Can I ask you something, Sethie?"

"Anything, sweetheart." He whispered, kissing the top of her head as he continued to rub Olivia's stomach. The contact with Seth was enough for the infant, making it so she didn't even care that CJ and Seth weren't really paying much attention to her. CJ's eyes were on Seth's, while Seth's eyes flicked from her eyes to her lips, down to Olivia, then back to her eyes. "What's on your mind?"

"I'm worried about Dean and this thing with his mom." She spoke quietly before she started gently nibbling on her bottom lip. This was how Seth knew that she was pretty nervous about what was going on and hated that he was basically sworn to secrecy on just what all Dean's mom had done. But he wasn't certain that he'd be able to hold water much longer if she figured out that he knew way more than he let on. "Like, she's been on his ass making him miserable for months now. I try to stay out of it because I know it'll just stress him out but I'm honestly scared out of my mind."

"Scared of what?"

"I'm scared that she figure out where we live, start following us around to shows, stuff like that." Again, she started nibbling on her bottom lip and Seth sighed as he brought his hand up from her waist to rub her back in a comforting manner. "How far will she go for his attention, Sethie? Nobody knows, and that's what scary. He doesn't know where she is exactly and he won't talk to me about it in-depth. All I know are the basics."

"Why not?" Of course he knew why and he was certain that she knew that he knew why, but Seth knew that sometimes it was better to just let her talk it all out on her own because that way she might have some revelation and relax. It didn't happen often, but it had happened before which was why he had hope for a repeat performance.

"Because he doesn't want me worrying. I can respect that to an extent, but sometimes I just can't handle him bearing all of the burdens that tend to plague us."

"It's because he loves you, babe."

"I know, but- I dunno. It's stupid, I guess." CJ mumbled, dropping her head to see that Olivia had been lulled to sleep by Seth's belly rubbing. It was a trick she'd have to remember for when it was bedtime and she was somehow riled up and ready to play.

"Sweetheart it's not stupid, alright? You're worried and that's natural." Seth quickly assured, taking his hand off of Olivia's stomach so he could tilt CJ's chin up to have eye contact again. "Hey, you know that there's nothing Dean and I wouldn't do for you two, right?"

"I know." She whispered, looking down to avoid the look in Seth's eye. She knew that look too well. It was the "I love you" look and she was still trying to fight the feelings she had for him despite Dean letting her know that he understood what she was feeling and allowing her to be cute and mushy with Seth despite being committed to him. "Seth, I-"

He hushed her, gently running his thumb across her lips as he did so. They were softer than he remembered, or maybe they just felt softer because it was the first time in nearly a year that he had the opportunity to touch her so intimately. It was almost like slow motion for him; the way her eyes closed and those soft lips parted slightly to take in a deep breath. For a split second he wondered if he was making her uncomfortable, but then he remembered that if she was uncomfortable or didn't want him touching her like this then she would've moved away and made some rambled excuse by now. But instead she was leaning into his touch and almost inviting him to kiss her and he would be an idiot to not make the most out of the opportunity that had been presented to him.

When CJ felt Seth's lips on hers it was absolutely mesmerizing. He wasn't her boyfriend, but that didn't mean that his kisses still weren't amazing to her. The gentle ones where he treated her as if she were glass, the ones she missed the most, those were the absolute best and that was what Seth was giving her. It was something that she didn't really get from Dean. Sure, he was gentle but he wasn't a master in the art of gentleness like Seth was. Passion was something Dean had mastered, but it would take some time for Seth to lose the gentle crown.

Shit, I'm comparing them. I'm not supposed to do that. She caught herself, pulling herself away about an inch from Seth and his sweet gentleness to catch her breath. She was mad at herself for comparing Seth to Dean, because that wasn't fair at all and she wasn't in any position to be unfair to either of the two amazing men she had in her life. "Is it bad to say that I've missed that?"

"In my opinion, no. What you and Dean have is true love, anyone can see that and half the world is envious of it. But us, what he have is magical."

"How did I end up with a heart for two men?"

"Because two men fell in love with you." Dean spoke from the doorway, and both Seth and CJ looked to see him smiling at him. "Don't take this as me being mad, but you guys really had to kiss in front of Olive?"


I know a few people are really against the three-way deal but I'm honestly not certain that it'll keep going in that direction. There's an internal battle going on in my head when it comes to that one.

Moving on, I'd like to thank Imagineer1392, ChelleLew, Dixiewrites12, Carol Reigns, Calwitch, and nafiondf aof for reviewing the last chapter!
