He was sitting up alone their room, reading a page from the book he had wrote. The chapter he was reading was about the time when Seth went to Canada, to help find out who had kidnapped him. His friend had suspicions about the MacMahons and Hunter, after a dinner party they had attended at Roman's old home in Chicago. At first, they were doubtful but Seth had found out with some help that they were guilty.

Hunter and a friend of his, Shawn Michaels, kidnapped him. They put him on their market and had also raped him theirselves. No alpha had ever bought him from their market, but they had found another use for him. They created many different videos of him. All copies of these videos were found and destroyed after the court trial. So were the ones that were created by the MacMahons. Dean had also found out that Shawn had felt guilt for what he had done to him, which was why he stopped working with Hunter after they put him in William Regals mental institution. It didn't excuse the crimes he had committed, but Dean wasn't going to let hatred fill his heart. He forgave the man for what he had done.

He looked back down at the book, reading from where he left off. He remembered this part very well. It wasn't a good memory though, for what he was doing was only making him weaker.

'We were all very worried about Seth, especially Finn. He wasn't getting any sleep, would hardly eat anything and kept trying for hours to call him.

I could feel his emotions and the scent he was giving off. He wasn't taking care of himself. So without thinking, I went over to him, laying my head on top of his leg. He was confused, asking me what I was doing. I released a scent, one that could help calm him down. I purred and nuzzled him, doing whatever I could to calm him. It worked and he had finally fallen asleep. I stayed with him still doing this, just make sure he would be alright.

Roman came upon that night, seeing what I was doing. He pulled me away from Finn, telling me I didn't have to do that. He warned me about the dangers of that while in my state. I was pregnant with our twin pups and my body working to grow and nurse them. Doing this, helping Finn, would take a toll on me, making me weak.

He was right. I could feel that I was weak, drained of my energy. But despite knowing what it was doing to me I still did this. I told Roman about this after had returned to normal after blacking out again, due my emotions and trying to commit suicide. He asked me why.

Why? I wanted to be of some help. Everyone was doing so much to help me. I didn't want to just do nothing and be a burden. I needed to do whatever I could help.'

"Mama?"

He looked up from the book he was reading, seeing his daughter in the room with him.

"Yes, Mira? What is it?"

"Daddy wants to know if you're almost ready to go."

"Oh. Right." He had almost forgotten. Him, Roman, and his pups were going to shopping for Halloween costumes. "Sorry about that, honey. I was just looking at something. Are you ready to pick out a costume for Halloween?" He says, patting her head.

"Yes, Mama! I can't wait!" The pup said, getting excited.

Dean smiled, picking her up. "Come on, lets go downstairs. Daddy and Tommy are waiting for us."

He left the room, carrying Miracle downstairs with him. He made it down and saw Roman putting Tommy in his fall coat.

"Sorry about that, Roman. I'm ready to go when you are."

The alpha turned to him. "Its okay, Dean. We were all just wondering what was taking you so long."

"Just got lost in my thoughts for a moment. Was remembering a bit of the past, back when we lived in Chicago."

"Oh? Good memories, I hope?"

He shook his head. "No, not really. I'm sorry, I don't want to ruin this day for us. Lets forget I said anything, alright?"

"No. No, baby. You aren't ruining anything." Roman came over to him, wrapping a gentle arm around his waist. "Its good to reflect on your memories. Even the ones that are bad. But if you're feeling down and need to talk about anything, I'm right here? Okay?"

"Okay. I love you so much, Roman." Dean leaned up, kissing him.

"Love you too, baby."

00000000000

"Roman, I am not fucking wearing that." Dean was looking at the costume that Roman held out for him. It was a maids costume with the shoes and fishnets to go with it. Dean wanted to set the hideous outfit on fire.

"Why not, babe? You'll look amazing in this. Especially in bed, too." The alpha winked at him.

"First of all, that costume is ugly. Second, that seems highly inappropriate. I want us to get something we can wear around the kids."

"Well, I could dress up as a werewolf. And you could be my gorgeous victim."

"Funny, Roman. Real smooth." He threw something at the other, earning a chuckle out of him. "I'll think about it. I'm going to go check on Miracle. She went to try on her costume. And no, I have no idea what she picked out."

"Okay. Don't be too long. Or the big bad wolf will come and find you red riding hood."

Dean gave him a playful smack. "Shut up, okay? You wish."

Dean left him, hearing him laughing behind him. He had to admit though. Him being red riding hood and Roman being the big bad wolf this year did not sound so bad. They had both agreed that they would wear costumes that complement each other. Sure, it may have seemed a bit corny but they both did think it would be fun.

He walked down the store aisles, heading over to the dressing room where his daughter was. Before he could get there, someone grabbed him from behind. He yelped, being yanked up against the person.

"What the fuck?!"

"Guess who."

He recognized that voice. "Sami?" He turned around, hearing the other laughing behind him. He was wearing a mask and top hat. "Thank goodness its only you. You scared me."

"Sorry, I just thought it would be funny."

"Mm, it is sort of. Now that I know I'm not in any danger. That mask is creepy looking though."

Sami took off the mask. "This thing? Its the famous plague doctor mask. Doctors wore them in the 1300's due to the Black Death. Killed quite a lot of people."

"Interesting. So, you're being a plague doctor for Halloween?"

"Hmm...I don't think so. I'm thinking of dressing up as this guy." He showed Dean his costume.

The omega frowned looking at it. "The Phantom of the Opera? But why? That guy is actually creepy. At least the plague doctors tried to help people."

"Why do you think that? I think he's pretty alright."

"Not exactly...Its just something about his character that really gets to me. He is possessive, obsessed with her to the point where its unhealthy. He stalked and manipulated her."

"Yeah, he did. You are right about that. But he only did what he did out of love for her."

"Love? He was willing to risk other people's lives. He could have actually killed her. Their relationship was abusive, Sami."

"I understand that it was. I just feel sympathy for him because he was mistreated because of how he looked. He wanted her to love him and accept him. But yes, Dean, you are right."

"I'm glad that you realize that. I understand that he was mistreated his whole life and he only wanted her love, but that still doesn't make what he did right."

"I am sorry if I reminded you of anything from your past...You've told me you were abused before and I should have tried to look at things from your perspective."

"Its alright. Don't worry about it, Sami. So, what are you doing this year for Halloween?"

"Well, I am going to a party that night. Found a club in town to go to. I was wondering if you and Roman wanted to come with me?"

"It sounds fun. But I don't know...we did have plans for that night but I could talk to him about it."

Sami was about to reply back but then he felt someone biting his ankle. He screamed, trying to shake off who had bitten him.

"Miracle!" Dean looked down, seeing that it was his daughter that had bit him. "Miracle, stop that right now!"

He leaned down, grabbing onto the young pup, pulling her off of Sami. "Miracle, what has gotten into you?"

"I don't like this man being near you, Mama."

"I know you don't trust him but doesn't mean you should bite him. I am so sorry, Sami. She's usually not like this with other people."

"Don't worry about it, she just needs time to get used to me. I better go, Dean. I'll see you later. Let me know if you and Roman can go out to the club on Halloween."

"See you later, Sami. And I will." He placed his daughter on the floor, leaning down so he was eyelevel with her. "Miracle Leah Ambrose Reigns. You do not bite other people. Even if you don't like them."

"But he attack you, Mama. I saw him do it."

"Miracle, he did not attack me. It was just a joke. He's a good guy and he wants to be your friend, too. Give him a chance."

"No!"

"Miracle..."

"Whats going on, Dean?"

Dean turned around hearing Roman's voice behind him. He had Tommy with him, who was dressed up as a bat.

"Roman, our daughter bit Sami."

"Why did she do that?"

"He attacked Mama, Daddy."

"No he didn't. He was only playing a joke. Snuck up on me and thought it would be funny."

Roman in his mind was proud of Miracle for attacking Sami, but Dean considered him a good friend. He didn't like it that the young alpha had did that, but he also did know that he didn't mean any harm by it. He didn't want to take Dean's side, because Miracle thought she was only protecting him. But he would do so out of politeness for his friend and he wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.

"Miracle, sweetheart. I understand that you were only trying to Mama, but it is not nice to go and bite other people."

"But Daddy, I don't trust him around Mama."

"I know, but for Mama's sake we lets give him a chance, okay?"

"Fine."

Dean picked her up in his arms, giving her a hug. "Don't be upset, Mira. We're not mad at you, we just want you to trust him. Roman's trying, so can you do that for me also?"

"I'll try to, Mama."

"Good girl." Dean said, ruffling her hair. "I see my little girl wants to be a tiger?"

"Uh-huh. A scary tiger." The pup said, smiling.

"A cute, scary tiger." He kissed her forehead.

"And Tommy here is going to be cute little bat." Roman said, holding onto their son, the pup giggling in his arms. "So, are we ready to go purchase these then?"

"Yeah, sure. But first let me go get my costume." Dean said.

"Did you decide what you wanted to be?"

"I'm actually taking your idea into consideration. I'll be Red riding hood for Halloween."

"Oh?" He leaned over whispering into Dean's ear. "So that means I can eat you up that night?"

Dean blushed, feeling a shiver run down his spine. "R-Roman, not in front of our pups!"

000000000000

They young couple pulled up in front of Seth's and Finn's house. They were dropping Miracle off tonight at their place. She and Kathy were going to be having a sleepover with Colby. Colby was currently getting scolded by his father. The young pup had been acting up and getting into trouble at school, along with some other pups his age.

Dean and Roman noticed that there were lots of egg shells in their front yard. Seth was yelling at some other pups that were causing some trouble.

"You little brats! When I find out where the lot of you live I am going to call your mothers and tell them what you've been up to!"

Roman and Dean went up to Finn, both of them wondering what was going on. Miracle went over to Kathy, who was sitting on the porch.

"What is going here, Finn?" Dean asked.

"Colby here has gotten mixed up with the wrong crowd at school. He and those other pups thought it would be funny to throw eggs at other people's houses today. We got a phone call from one of our neighbors about it. We found him at the park those other pups that Seth is yelling at now."

"Oh, that is not good." Roman. "You should try to teach your son better manners."

"We do, but he is at that age where he wants to be a troublemaker."

"Dad, I said I was sorry." The pup said.

"You're lucky we didn't cancel this sleepover. The police are coming to take those pups to their home. After they're gone, you are cleaning this mess up."

"But I don't want to! I'll clean it tomorrow. Wrestling will be on soon. I don't want to miss it."

"Well, maybe you should learn to behave more."

"You pups are lucky I am not your mother, because I would be giving you brats some good spankings!"

"Seth, don't worry about them. They'll be gone shortly."

"Look at this mess, Roman. They keep throwing eggs into yard! And Colby is frustrating me so much."

Some eggs came were thrown over their fence. Unfortunatley for Seth, they landed right on his face.
Roman and Dean tried their best not to laugh, seeing egg yolk running down their friend's face.

"Ugh!" Seth let out a frustrated scream. "You little shits! Wait until I get my hands on yous!"

"Seth! Don't make threats towards them!" Finn came over to his mate, trying to stop him from saying something he would regret.

"Fuck that. Those little brats need to be taught a lesson." He turned around, hearing his son laughing behind him. "Young man, do you want your punishment to be even worse?"

The pup stopped laughing instantly. "N-No, Papa!"

Seth sat down on the porch steps, his face in his hands, groaning. "If only we could skip past all this trouble with you. Dean, Roman, you guys are lucky Tommy is still a baby and Miracle doesn't cause any trouble."

"She did bite Sami today at the Halloween store." Dean said.

Seth looked up. "Really? Why did she do that?"

"She was trying to protect Dean. Thought he was getting attacked." Roman said.

"Well, he looks fine to me."

"You'll be fine watching her tonight, will you? I mean, seeing what you and Finn are dealing with." Dean said.

"Its fine. The pups will be camping outside. Just gotta set up their tent."

"And watch wrestling, too!" Colby said.

"As soon as you clean this mess up." Finn reminded him.

Dean leaned down giving his daughter a kiss on the forehead. "You have fun with Kathy and Colby tonight, Mira. We'll pick you up tomorrow at lunchtime. Okay?"

"Okay, Mama."

"Be good for Seth and Finn. We love you." Roman said.

"Love you, Daddy. Love you, Mama."

They both gave her a hug, then said their goodbyes to Finn and Seth. Once they left Seth went go have a shower and Finn brought the pups in for dinner. Miracle was looking forward to spending time with her friends tonight. Colby also told her a few days ago he had a secret to show both her and Kathy. She wondered what it could be. She would find out by tonight.
