Shout out to Funby57 for the awesome chapter idea! I love it!
"Shut up just shut the fuck up!" Jay roared dragging Renee down onto the floor and holding the gun up to her neck. Colton sobbed on the other side of the room and struggled to get free but something bound him there and held him tight. Rhys was slumped next to him blood trickling from his nose. "Just stop!" Renee begged "Please don't hurt them I'll do whatever you want. They're just babies!" A loud slap echoed in the room and Colton screamed and thrashed bringing Jay's attention from Renee to Colton.
"The fuck you screaming about huh? You think she gives a fuck about you?" He slugged Colton across the head making his vision blur and his thoughts hazy. "Mommy" He whined still thrashing trying to reach Renee. All the could hear was her screaming begging Jay to stop.
A loud scream tore Renee and Dean from their sleep as both launched from the bed and flew over to Colton's. He was thrashing and screaming his whole body shaking as Dean reached out for him. "Colton buddy it's us come on baby" He begged shaking him gently only making the screams louder. Renee flicked on the side light and leaned over watching as Colton's eyes moved behind his eyelids. "We have to wait it out" She whispered fighting back tears as Colton thrashed.
"What?! Fuck that!" Dean snarled and reached for the small boy. "If we wake him he'll startle even worse. We just have to wait" Dean growled low in his throat but rested his back against the headboard his fingers tapping nervously against his collarbone. Almost 15 minutes later Colton finally stopped thrashing and began to settle. Renee gently rubbed his back "Baby wake up" Green eyes snapped open and he let out a scream as he flung himself into Renee's arms" Dean reached over to rub his head causing Colton to flinch and scream. "No! Jay No!" Renee watched as Dean flinched back hurt flashing in his eyes before he moved away further on the bed.
"That's Dean baby that's daddy" Renee whispered trying to move Colton so he could see. His little fingers dug into her t-shirt and his legs were tight around her waist. His breathing was quick and laboured and his tiny body was shaking so hard his teeth were rattling. "Daddy? No Jay?" He whimpered and Renee shuffled over closer to Dean. "Hey kid" Dean murmured when Colton lifted his head.
"Did you have a bad dream?" Renee asked kissing his head. "Jay hurted you mommy and Rhysee and I couldn't save you" He croaked and shuddered gripping Renee tighter. Dean kissed his head and ran his fingers up and down his back. "Jay is in jail with your mom, mommy is here safe with me and you okay? And Rhys is safe with Uncle Seth" Colton nodded.
"Do you want to sleep in our bed?" Renee murmured standing up and rocking him gently and smiling sadly at Dean when Colton hiccupped a "please". They curled into the bed together Colton gripped tight against her chest. "Sleep baby you're safe" Dean kissed Renee softly before ruffling Colton's hair and kissing his head. "I'll keep you safe always"
The next morning Dean was up early hitting the gym and ordering room service before Renee and Colton stirred. Letting the guy in Dean paid and grabbed a cup of coffee leaning down in front of Renee and gently blowing the coffee smell into her face. "Mmm" She stirred smiling as she opened her eyes to see Dean grinning over at her. "Morning beautiful"
"Hey, he's still sleeping huh?" She smiled shifting Colton to lay on the bed. The minute his stomach hit the mattress his eyes snapped open and he screamed. "No mommy!" Renee and Dean stood dumfounded at the sudden outburst, Renee immediately opening her arms as Colton dove back into them. "No mommy up please" He whimpered pressing his face into her neck. "Okay calm down we can snuggle some more" Renee said softly flashing Dean a worried look as she carried him toward the breakfast tray. The three of them all sat on the bed Colton sitting as close as he possibly could as they ate. Once they had finished up Dean got showered and changed while Renee dressed Colton. He wore little blue jeans just like Dean's with a black long sleeved t-shirt. "I'm just going into the bathroom sweetie" Renee said patiently as Colton clung to her leg shaking his head. Dean scooped him into his arms nodding to Renee to go and changed as their little boy sobbed. "It's okay she'll be right back" Dean murmured holding him tight. Normally these types of fits would annoy Dean to no end but he knew how terrified Colton was. His normally easy going soft spoken little boy needed his daddies' patience right now.
Dean was sat on the edge of the bed when Renee came out, Colton was curled into his chest his little legs hanging off the side of Dean's. His face was pressed into Dean's chest while he talked quietly to him. Renee couldn't hear their words but Colton nodded his head and sniffled hugging his dad tight.
"Ready to go boys?" Renee asked smiling when Dean let Colton go and run into her arms. "Missed you mommy" He mumbled. "Let's go" They drove to the arena parking their rental and grabbing their bags. "Baby you have to walk mommy has to carry her bags" Renee said crouched down to meet Colton's gaze. Colton wanted to be in Renee's arms always. "But mommy I want ups please?" Renee looked up at Dean who was chewing on his thumb. "What if daddy carries you?" Dean only had one bag and he was much stronger then she was. Colton's eyes widened and his bottom lip immediately stuck out as he shook his head. "I want mommy" Renee didn't have to look up to see the hurt on Dean's face as he picked up her bags and muttered "Just carry him" before taking off towards the building.
Reluctantly Renee lifted Colton into her arms speed walking to catch up to Dean. He dropped her bags by the girls' locker-room door before turning on his heels and heading towards the locker room. Renee put Colton on a crate giving him a stern look when he went to whine. "Hey" Renee said grabbing his arm and spinning him to face her. His blue eyes were watery and his face was set into a deep frown. "Don't take it personal he's just scared" She whispered running her thumb across his cheek. He looked up sighing heavily before meeting her stare "I know I do. It just fucking sucks he wants nothing to do with me"
"Dean" Renee said softly a dull ache in her chest rising at his words. He shook his head forcing a smile and kissing her lips. "I'm fine believe me but I got to go, love you" And with that he took off down the hallway.
"You look like shit" Roman said dropping onto the bench next to Dean. His blonde hair was pushed up from his hands that covered his face. He lifted his head to see Roman staring at him intently "Shit Ambrose what's the matter?" Dean huffed pinching the bridge of his nose before slouching further into the bench. "Colton had a nightmare like a fucking awful one and now he wants nothing to do with me. He's clinging to Renee like a monkey but he wants no part of me"
Roman nodded running his hand through his hair as he thought over his words. "So, you think the kid figures you can't protect him or blames you for not saving him" Dean growled and threw himself off the bench and stormed over to the other side of the room. "Would you cut the shit with that psychic crap!" Seth who had just walked in looked between Roman and Dean before dropping onto the bench himself.
Roman smirked shaking his head at his brother, Dean Ambrose the worried fathers' wonders would never cease. "I know you feel guilty but Dean he's clingy with Renee because he saw he get hurt in his dream. It has nothing to do with you, if he can see Renee he thinks he can protect her" Dean paused his pacing and stopped to look at his two shield brothers. "You mean that?"
"Do you think it's my fault Rhys got taken?" Seth asked. "Fuck no!" Dean hissed balling up his fists. "Well then you can blame yourself for Colton. Rhys still has nightmares and he gets clingy and upset and then he's over it. Colton will be to I bet you by tonight he's hanging from you"
Later that night as the show was ending Renee was sat by the locker room waiting for Dean. Colton had calmed down during the day and he and Renee had a long talk about his nightmare. Even being scared out of his mind Colton was worried he'd hurt his dads' feelings. Roman and Dean came out Seth had left a while before with Rhys. Turning the corner Dean was smacked into by a blur of blonde hair "Hi daddy" He mumbled into his stomach. Dean lifted his head and met Renee's big grin, "Hi sport"
"Up?" He asked quietly squealing when Dean tossed him into the air and caught him. "I'm sorry for making you sad daddy" Dean hugged him tight kissing his forehead ignoring the smirk that Roman kept sending his way. "Don't be sad, you know I'll always protect you right? I love you"
"Yeah I know daddy love you to"
