A thick layer of bubbles and several bath toys filled up the bath tub as Rhys happily banged his tiny fists on the waters surface, giggling when the water splashed back up at him. Seth was sat with his back against the bathroom wall wearing his gym shorts watching his little boy play in the tub. With all the tension surrounding them because of Haley and Jay it was nice to take a break. Rhys's innocence was a light at the end of the tunnel, he was too small to understand what was going on. He had his brother, his daddy, Uncle Roman, Sasha and Uncle Dean and Auntie Renee all his favorite people. In his little mind life was pretty great.
"Ad daa ba" Rhys babbled holding out a rubber duck to Seth "Bu bu da" Seth grinned over taking the duck and pressing it to his chubby cheek relishing in the happily giggle that sounded through out the bathroom. "Duckies gonna get ya champ" He whispered moving the duck under the water as Rhys watched closely before pulling it up and pressing it into his belly. He squealed happily clapping his hands and babbling at Seth reaching for the duck and pushing it into the water. "Someone's having fun" Sasha said leaning against the doorway, her hair was tied up in a loose pony tail and she had on tight blank tank top and leggings. "Hi sweet boy" She cooed at Rhys who grinned crookedly at her "Hey beautiful" Seth murmured parting his legs so that she could sit in between them and lean against his chest. He kissed her temple smiling when she looked up at him and he kissed her nose.
"You seem more relaxed now" She murmured as he brushed his nose through her hair. This morning Seth had been on edge and Sasha had tried everything she could to relax him. Dean had finally had enough and told him to take Rhys and go for a bit and he had, taking the toddler for a walk and feeding him lunch which resulted in him wearing most of his alphagetti. "He has that effect on me, hard to be cranky with that big smile aimed at you" They sat in silence watching the toddler play for a bit longer before Seth took him out wrapping him in his hooded towel and laying him on the bed. He put on his diaper before leaving him laying on the bed with Sasha. Rhys gurgled at her rolling onto his knees and dropping his head against her stomach. Lifting his little legs, she laid him across her chest smiling as he buried himself into her babbling quietly and tugging on her tank top.
"Dude traitor" Seth muttered smirking at his son curled right up, he tickled his sides both adults laughing as the toddler giggled happily his little feet kicking towards Seth. "Come on champ you need clothes, not that kind of party" He tugged on his brown pants, long sleeved black shirt with the buttons going halfway down the front and his little converse. Sasha watched as Seth spoke softly to Rhys the entire time telling him step by step what was next. "Do you do that for everything?" Seth looked up as best he could with the toddlers' tiny fists shoved into his beard. "What do you mean?" He murmured turning to kiss Rhys's hand.
"That way you explain everything you're doing" Seth blushed slightly ducking his head to try and relieve some of the pull on his beard. "Yeah at first it was the best way to calm him down, once he knew what was coming he was okay. Now it's just habit he likes knowing and my voice and I like watching his face. Especially his eyes"
"Sap" Dean snorted flopping down onto the bed next to Seth and Rhys, who giggled happily arms waving at his Uncle. "Hey Rhysee how's Uncle Dean's favorite man huh?" Rhys climbed onto his chest babbling at Colton and Renee who walked in behind him. "Hiya Rhysee" Colton grinned ruffling his brothers' hair and dropping next to Dean on the bed. "Well Renee do you want on to? I don't think there's enough people on my bed yet" Seth muttered yelping when Dean pinched his leg. "Boys" Renee said sternly looking at Colton and Rhys who looked up "Not you boys, the big boys. Behave yourselves" Sasha burst out laughing at the puppy dog expressions on their faces. "Busted" She sang making Colton giggle.
"So, what's the plans for tonight?" Dean asked circling his arms around Renee's waist as she sat on his lap. Seth and Dean had a 6-man tag match with Roman and Sasha had a one on one match with Nia Jax. Renee was free for the entire day since Byron had canceled his vacation days. "I think me and the boys are going to have a movie night" She grinned over at Colton who had wrapped himself around Dean's chest just beside Renee. "What do you think Colton?" The little boy nodded his head smiling he'd never had a movie night before, he wasn't even sure what that was but he was excited. "Yes, please mommy"
"And what about Rhys?" The toddler was curled into Seth's chest now eyes drooping calm from his bath and ready for his nap. Sasha was running her finger tips up and down his back, her head laid against Seth's shoulder. "I think after a nap and some supper he'll be good for a little bit of the movie." Seth chuckled as Rhys yawned loudly curling into a ball against him. "So, you guys get a movie night while Seth, me and Banks get our asses kicked. Wonderful" Dean groaned. Colton said up looking down at him a frown on his face. "We can wait for you daddy" He said big green eyes looking down at him, Renee watched as Dean tugged him down pressing his forehead against Colton's. "I'm just teasing buddy, you mommy and Rhys have your movie night and me and Uncle Seth and Auntie Sasha will join in later."
"We need junk food "Sasha pointed at Dean who flashed a dimpled smile back at her. "I like the way your woman thinks Rollins" He laughed earning a scowl from Seth. Piling into the SUV they managed to fit all 7 people into the 7-passenger van. Roman had decided to join figuring movie night was a good distraction from missing his girls back home. Dean and Roman sat up front, Colton and Renee in the middle and Seth, Sasha and Rhys in the back seat. Rhys was still awake but barely, Seth knew he was pushing his luck but he needed a few supplies and was hoping he could quickly get in and out before the water works began.
Dean and Renee took Colton with Roman and headed down the junk isle while Seth and Sasha went off for diapers and other things. Dean watched as Colton's eyes grew wide as he looked around him. "Pick what you want bud" Dean grinned grabbing barbeque chips and gummy bears, Renee picked up kettle chips and a chocolate bar. Colton stood quietly watching as the adults moved around him. Renee looked over and noticed the anxious look on his face and the way his little teeth sunk into his bottom lip. "Colton?" She murmured opening her arms as he shuffled over staring down at his sneakers. "What's the matter? Don't see anything you like?" He shook his head blonde hair falling over his eyes. "Dunno what it is mommy" He mumbled eyes burning a hole into the floor. Dean cursed under his breath realising exactly what Colton was getting it. When he and Seth had given him the fruit snacks he was unsure of what those were as well. Renee looked up at Dean and Roman who stood around them, "Why don't we get a few things for you to try and then whatever you like you can have some okay?" Dean murmured tilting Colton's chin to lift his gaze. He nodded his head and took Renee's out stretched hand as the looked over the candy.
"Kid's never had candy before?" Roman asked his eyes focused on Colton. Dean shook his head shoving his hands into his hair roughly, "Nope when me and Seth would go over and visit he had the exact same meal every day. Two slices of bread and butter three carrot sticks and a cup of water." Seth and Sasha had made their way back and he was stood next to them with Rhys curled in his arms. "Doesn't know what half of this stuff is huh?" Seth asked adjusting Rhys, Dean just shook his head. The group headed back to the hotel and the boys and Sasha headed to the arena leaving Renee and the kids at the hotel. They had two security guards stationed at the hotel but Dean still felt uneasy. Renee had calmed him and promised at the slightest bump she'd call him. She had given both boys a bath watching as they happily played together and once they were all cleaned up she dressed them in their Toy Story pyjamas. Colton had asked if they could watch it and she didn't mind and knew Rhys didn't care so that's what they watched. Colton and his Bullseye were curled into her side while Rhys was laid across her chest drinking his nighttime bottle. Part way into the movie Renee found herself drifting off to sleep like the boys had done, not hearing her phone ring on the nightstand. Dean paced the parking lot cursing and swearing at it continued to ring. "Come on Nae Jesus fuck we have to get home" He snapped at Seth and Roman who glared back at him making him back up slightly. "Why isn't she answering" He croaked. Sasha finally made it to the parking lot apologising that she had gotten caught up with a rep from creative. Dean flew through traffic just skimming under the radar, the SUV rocking to a stop in the parking lot as he ran threw the lobby and into the elevator. Seth, Sasha and Roman followed at slower pace knowing Renee was probably busy with the boys. The green light flashed on the door as Dean tossed it open, skidding to a halt when he finally found Renee.
"See? Nothing to worry about" Roman murmured smiling at the sight of Renee and both boys sound asleep. Dean nodded not risking his cracking voice to speak as he knelt beside them kissing their foreheads as Seth gently pulled Rhys into his arms. "Hi" She mumbled sleepily when she felt Rhys lifted from her arms. "You scared me" He mumbled back making her brown eyes snap open. Her phone flashed its red light reminding her that it had missed calls and texts and the fear in his blue eyes all made sense. "I'm sorry sweetie, we were all so cozy I must have drifted off" Dean pushed his face into her neck relief flooding his system.
Seth tucked Rhys in for the night meeting Roman in the common room of their suite. "He's on edge to" Rome rumbled, he hated that both Seth and Dean had to worry about those pricks being loose. "Worst part is until they pull something shady they can't even be arrested" Seth muttered. "But after me and Rhys spend the weekend with Sasha in Davenport, Renee and Dean spend it in Toronto with her folks, and you bring JoJo and Gal next week maybe we can relax for a bit."
