A:N Filler chapter, decided on where to go next. Review ;)
Seth sat in the cafeteria with Rhys propped against his chest as the toddler munched on French fries and apples. Judging by the speed Rhys was shoveling back food they hadn't fed him much but Seth was happy he was eating now. His phone vibrated against his leg and he checked the screen seeing Sasha's name and face flash across. He smirked and held a finger to his lips earning a weird look from his son before he hit the accept button.
"Banks" He smiled watching her eyes sparkle at the happiness in his tone, he had been a force to deal with this past week and she never yelled at him or got inpatient she just stood by him. "Hey, how are you?" She asked softly fearing ruining his good mood Seth grinned happily and she blinked in confusion. Seth laughed lightly winking at her before turning the screen to show Rhys in his lap, her hand flew up to her mouth in shock as she took in the little boy happily chewing on a piece of apple in his dads' lap. "Rhys" She breathed catching his attention and getting a delighted squeal in return. "You found him! Is he okay? How's Colton?" She asked at least 10 questions in the span of 60 seconds making Seth laugh.
"Rhys is fine just a couple bruises" Seth paused looking down at his little boy giggling happily as he munched on a rather large French fry. He knew Colton had saved Rhys from whatever abuse Jay had tried to dish out. He owed the little boy his life, "Colton is pretty roughed up when I left they were rebreaking his arm to set it" Seth said quietly grimacing at the flash of pain across Sasha's face. "I hope someone in that jail kills him" She hissed her heart breaking at the thought of Colton's arm having to be rebroken, "Renee must be beside herself" Seth nodded leaning down to kiss Rhys's forehead smiling when he leaned back and babbled. "Dean beat the shit out of Jay I had to physically haul him off. Renee's pretty upset but she's holding tough for Colton's sake"
They talked for a few more minutes before Seth had to go and bring Rhys upstairs for the doctor to check over once more. Colton was sleeping from the medication when he got to the room and Renee was curled up beside him stroking his hair. Dean was sat on the end of the bed taping at his phone screen with a frown set on his face. He laid Rhys on the bed smiling when he dropped his little head into his lap, the doctor came in and asked Seth to remove Rhys's onesie so she could check him over. As she gently moved his arms around Rhys whined unhappily up at Seth, "It's okay" He murmured rubbing his thumb against his forehead. "He seems okay" She smiled writing down on the clipboard, she checked on Colton and then left to do rounds. "I'm glad he's okay" Dean rasped shifting so Renee could perch on his lap.
"He's only okay because of Colton" Seth sighed shifting Rhys against his shoulder "I hope that judge throws the book at Haley and Jay" He growled and Dean shifted under Renee's narrowed gaze. He'd tell Seth about Ron, just not with the boys around. Dean knew Seth would go ballistic and he was worried about Rhys and Colton seeing it.
Later after Dean and Seth had made their statements down at the station they sat around Dean's living room relaxing before they had to dive back into work tomorrow. Having decided on a cheat day they ate pizza and had a couple beers even giving the boys pop which sent Rhys into hyper mode. For the last hour, Seth had literally chased the toddler back and forth across Renee's house. Babbling and giggling Rhys had run to one side of the house howling with laughter when Seth chased after him. "I'm going to regret wishing he could walk, aren't I?" Seth groaned finally settling on the couch with Rhys in his lap. Big brown eyes sparkling up at his dad, "Oh yeah" Dean laughed "Especially if he's part ninja like you are be all up in everything" Seth grimaced he hadn't even thought of that. On the love seat sprawled across Renee, Colton was whimpering and shifting his arm making him uncomfortable. Renee tried her best to help him move but there was no position that didn't bother him. "It hurts mommy" He said softly green eyes flashing up to meet hers. Dean grimaced he knew that If it hurt bad enough for Colton to complain it must be killer. The entire time his ribs were injured Colton had barely breathed a word.
"I'll go get your pills okay sweetie, you go curl up with daddy" Renee gently lifted Colton to his feet biting back tears when he yelped as his arm bumped hers. His little lip set between his teeth he shuffled over to where his daddy sat. Dean lifted him onto his lap avoiding his arm and kissing his temple as he hiccupped trying to fight back the sobs. Rhys watched from Seth's lap climbing off and crawling over to his Uncle and brother. He reached up and padded his brothers face, his little lip stuck out at seeing him cry. "S'okay Rhysee" He gulped trying to force a smile, Rhys gripped Dean's t-shirt and hauled himself up carefully. Seth reached over and held his back watching as he gently wrapped his little arms around Colton's neck and muttered what sound like "S'okay"
Renee having had come back with the medicine watched as Rhys hugged his big brother tight. He was little but he knew Colton had protected him and now that he was hurt Rhys was going to help him feel better. "Thanks, Rhysee" Colton smiled as his brother left a slobbery kiss on his cheek before crawling back over to Seth. Tipping back to the cup of water Colton swallowed the pill with Deans help before curling into his chest and yawning. "Couple tired boys" Seth chuckled as Rhys flipped in his arms pulling his blanket over him and whining loudly. "Why don't you two go put them down and I'll clean up. Our flight leaves early tomorrow" Renee murmured kissing Dean's cheek.
Both boys were in the pyjamas and laid in Colton's bed while Dean read a book. Seth scratched their scalps watching in amusement as they both fought off their eyelids. Finally, after a full book and ten minutes of rubbing their backs the boys fell asleep. Seth was sat on the bed face resting in his hands as he stared at Rhys as he slept. "C'mon Rollins we got to get some sleep, and I get the feeling these boys are going to be up at least once"
Seth had a quick shower and texted Sasha good night before passing out and Dean and Renee did the same. Sleep quickly took over the three adults after their world wind week. All 3 adults woke up sporadically expecting at least one of the boys to wake up screaming but when Dean and Seth had checked they were curled into each other fast asleep. Seth leaned against the door frame watching as Rhys snored softly his little body curled into Colton's good side. Renee shuffled in beside him smiling at Colton's blonde hair spread across his eyes as he snored.
"Think they'll be okay?" Seth asked brushing the hair from his face. Renee leaned against the wall beside him eyes focused on the two little boys sleeping peacefully in their bed.
"Yeah I think so"
