The Jeep was loaded up and Seth, Rhys and Leah were headed off to a private cabin in the woods for the weekend. Rhys was in his car seat little swim shorts and an orange t-shirt with a space helmet that read "I need my space" His blanket was wrapped around him and he had his toys in his lap as he babbled shaking his toy car in the air. Seth had on his swim shorts and muscle shirt and Leah had on jean shorts and a plaid shirt with a white tank top. They had the music going, sun roof down and the traffic was light making for an easy drive. Leah grinned over at Seth as he kissed her hand squeezing it gently, "Ready for all this?" He murmured glancing in the mirror smirking as Rhys chewed on the front fender of his toy car. Nodding Leah turned to Rhys tickling his bare little feet and laughing softly as he squealed loudly.

They had been driving for a few hours only making a short stop for gas and food an hour back, it was just enough to gar Rhys and make him over tired and unable to fall asleep on his own. He whined and moaned from his seat little fists shoved into his eyes and his thumb hanging from his mouth. "Sshh baby it's okay just close your eyes" Seth murmured reaching back blindly to rub the toddlers leg. Rhys wailed kicking his feet wanting his daddy to hold him, Leah looked up at Seth watching his face nothing but calm and patience. "Anything I can do" She asked turning to brush her fingers through his hair only receiving a whimper in response. Seth shook his head tapping at the radio as A Day to Remember's softer songs played through the speakers. Smiling he sang along Leah blushing and singing along with him. Rhys's cries calmed to soft whimpers as the pair tried to sing him to sleep. Minutes passed before Rhys had enough and began to scream loudly, having lost his little patience.

Pulling the car into a road side rest stop Seth climbed out of the Jeep and pulled Rhys from his seat tucking the blanket around him against his chest. Rhys clutched at his dad's shirt sticking his thumb into his mouth and relaxing in his arms. "Go to sleep champ daddies got you" He murmured brushing his lips over his forehead before tucking the blanket over his head. Leah watched from the passenger seat as Seth gently rocked the toddler to sleep before laying him in the car seat and buckling him up. "Sorry about that, once we made that stop I figured this was how it was going to go down" He laughed softly.

They drove the last hour talking about family and work before Seth turned down a small gravel road that lead up to a wood cabin nestled in by itself. It was only a few minutes from town but quiet enough for some privacy. After unpacking the car and Seth had tucked Rhys in the crib that was inside and they ate lunch together at the table. "So how do you find it so far?" Seth murmured brushing the crumbs off his shorts. Leah chewed her lip for a moment, honestly it wasn't nearly as bad as she expected but they had only been together for a few hours.

"It's not to bad" She grinned smirking when he kissed her temple. Just then Rhys let out a loud whine from the upstairs bedroom making Seth chuckle and head up to him. What Seth didn't see was Leah roll her eyes behind him. After a quick diaper change and a very messy jam sandwich they headed out to the pool, Leah sat on the edge with Rhys in her lap as Seth slipped in the water before bringing him in with him. The toddler squealed happily kicking his feet splashing Leah accidentally when she slid into the water. "Thanks munchkin" She laughed grabbing his little foot and kissing it. Seth smiled watching the two go back and forth. "Get her champ" Seth laughed as Rhys hit his fist onto the waters edge throwing water right in Leah's' face.

"Oh yeah?" Leah splashed Seth missing Rhys's face by barely an inch who bust into full belly giggles at the expression on his daddies' face. "Oh, ha ha" Seth said flatly tickling Rhys's belly before gently submerging his lower half into the water. The toddler looked curiously at the waters surface pulling his fingers through it and holding it to Seth babbling. "That's water bud" Leah pulled a toy boat from the edge of the pool letting it float past Rhys who babbled happily splashing and watching the ripples move it around. Seth kissed his temple watching as he learned something new. "You're really proud of him aren't you" Seth looked up meeting her gaze and nodded, he knew Leah couldn't begin to understand the depth of how much he loved Rhys he'd just hoped she would learn. Rhys only lasted a little while longer in the pool before he grew tired of being unable to crawl around on his own. "Alright champ hold on" Seth muttered as Rhys kicked his feet slowing the progress of changing his diaper and swim trunks. The toddler let out an impatience whine before Seth let him go, "Good enough, you don't need a shirt" He laughed as he crawled off toward the box of toys Seth had brought. Leah texted on her phone laying across the couch while Seth cooked supper, leaving the pot bubbling Seth entered the living room lunging for Rhys as he tugged on a power cord. "What is it with you and power man" He huffed scolding the toddler in his arms who looked away bashfully. "I thought you were watching him Lee?" He asked receiving a glare that made him roll his eyes. "I turned away for like two seconds' pardon me" She snapped charging past and heading upstairs. Dinner was quiet and they barely spoke, Seth felt like an idiot for trying to hard. He had made her favorite dinner and set out everything just to make her happy. She barely spoke two words and went straight to bed closing the door behind her. Seth cleaned the kitchen and dishes while Rhys played happily in his highchair, leaning his head against the fridge Seth glared at the ceiling feeling his anger bubble.

"Shit" He cursed nothing made sense not one second of it made sense. Standing up straight Seth's eyes fell on the one person he needed. Rhys was grinning at him from the chair his little arms stuck out as he babbled at him. Letting out a quiet laugh Seth lifted the toddler into his arms snuggling him close and kissing his cheeks as Rhys let out a soft sigh curling into his neck. "Thanks champ, dad needed that" After a quick bath and bottle Seth tucked his son in brushing his fingers through his hair as his little chest rose and fell. "I love you" He whispered before slowly making his way to the room he shared with Leah.

"So are you going to talk to me" He sighed sitting on the edge of the bed by her feet, leaning onto her elbows she rolled her eyes before lying down on her stomach. "You gave me shit for not watching your kid Seth" Was this what he had to look forward to? "For all of ten minutes Lee"

"Yeah well he's your son Seth it's not my fault he doesn't behave. I'm trying Seth can't you see that!?" She yelled moving to stand up in front of him. Seth's anger bubbled again "Rhys behaves fine, he's not even two and honestly" He sighed looking to meet her gaze "No Lee I don't see it"

"Fuck you" She yelled moving to grab her phone and tapping hurriedly at the screen. "I'm taking a taxi to a hotel, spend the weekend with your kid he's all you care about" She snapped and Seth couldn't believe what was going on. "You beg me for a second chance and I give it to you and this is all it takes for you to end this what the fuck?!" The more Seth thought about it as she tossed her clothes into her bag the more his head hurt. Grabbing her hand as she ran for the door Seth felt his heart break at the cold look in her eyes. "Why? What did I do wrong?" He whispered. Her glare faltered and she paused to form her answer, she couldn't tell him the truth. That she only begged for a second chance so that she could make it end by being his fault. If Seth had checked her bag he'd have known she had no intention of staying the whole weekend. "It's just not enough, I'll never be your number one" And with that she ran for the taxi waiting outside. Seth listened as the front door slammed before kicking the door to the bedroom as hard as he could. It closed with a loud bang and Seth thought that it was almost symbolic of his relationship with Leah.

A loud wail tore from the nursery making Seth curse for having been the reason to wake the little boy.

Entering the nursery Seth found Rhys stood at the rail of the crib crying in fear from the loud bang. "Sorry baby boy" He murmured rocking him in his arms, Seth himself felt like crying like his son. He gave up so much to give her a second chance, and it had all blown up in his face.
