Dean was now getting used to life back at home. He was released from the hospital a few days ago, Baron told him that he was healthy enough to be released. The only thing is that he would need some help getting around, for his legs were still a bit weak and he would need to do some physical therapy. It would take some time for him to walk normally again.

Despite his and Roman's relationship being good again, they were still going to go to therapy, see Jeff every Thursday. It would help them work on things with each other and strengthen their bond. They were both happy that things were finally starting to look up for them. They had both been through a tough time in their lives and neither one of them thought they would make it through. All hope seemed lost.

There was also one other thing...Dean's mother, Hannah, being back in their lives. In their family. She was living in an apartment not far from them, had Dani living with her. The two of them were in a relationship and thankfully for Seth and Finn, Dani decided that he would move in with her. Both of them would have to improve on their lifestyles. Dani had gotten a job, working as a pizza delivery guy and Hannah was working as a waitress.

Hannah wanted to do better for herself, get a job working as a nurse care aide. There were many things she would have to do to get to that goal. Right now, her main focus was repairing the relationship with her son. Dean and Roman made plans to have a family dinner with her later during the week, so hopefully that would go well. Dean was still going to be cautious around her, especially with his pups. For now, she could only see them as long he and Roman were around. It would take a while for that trust to be earned back. It wouldn't be easy, but hopefully in time, Hannah could be trusted.

"Seth, me and Dean are going to get bonded to each other next month." Roman said to his friend, who was sitting across from him.

Seth and Finn had came over today to visit. Their son Colby was spending time with Miracle and Kathy. Dean was talking to Finn inside the house, showing him Lily.

Seth smiled. "That's great, Roman. I think it is finally time that you two do that. Should I call up our families?"

"No, that's alright. I just want it to be you and Finn, our pups, Dean's mother and Dani. That's it."

"But you wanted it to be very special for you both."

"It will be. Our bonding ceremony doesn't need to be a big one. A small one with just our closest family members will do. I just want to be able to make this a very special moment for Dean. For us as a family."

He looked over at his mate who had just came outside, smiling at him. He had Miracle by his side, holding her hand. His other arm had Lily, her head resting on his shoulder.

"I want to do something for him. Something that shows him how much he means to me."

"He already knows how much he does. You let him know that every single day." Seth told him.

"This time I want to write it down, turn my words into a song for him. A song just for us."

"That sounds very romantic." Seth sighed happily. "Will you sing it at the wedding for him?"

"I want to. Even though I'm not a great singer." Roman said, chuckling.

"You may not be, but Dean will definitely appreciate it. Cause it will come from your heart."

Dean laid awake in bed, Roman sleeping soundly at his side. He was thinking so much about how much has changed over this past year. Their bond was put to the test in so many ways. The biggest was them losing their pup, Tommy. Dean still thought about him everday. It was slightly easier to cope with his death, and in time maybe he wouldn't want to cry every time he remembered him.

He thought about his pups Miracle and Lily. Miracle, his star, his ray of hope. The pup he had never thought he would have ever since the miscarriage, finding out he could die from carrying a pup. Giving birth to her was like a dream come true for him.

Lily-Eve. He always called her by her first and middle name because both fit his situation. His beautiful, sweet girl. Carrying her took a huge toll on him, but she never meant to her Mama. She wasn't his death, she was one of the many reasons why he was still alive.

He was very grateful for what he had. Two very special pups to take care of. Miracle, who had brought him and Roman back together. And Lily, who had gave him life again. He looked over at his alpha, blinking away his tears.

"We're going to be alright from now on. I just know it. We're safe, Rome. Our pups, you and me...we're safe."
