The weekend came and Spencer's parents had come down with Dylan. Isabelle was to worried about Dean to focus on Spencer's situation. Leaving it up to Baron and everyone else to make him see that he needs help. Paul Heyman was the man Baron was waiting on. Brie had said he was the best in dealing with men and women who had PTSD.
"Why can't we just put this off? Izzy needs us right now, B", Spencer said, following him around Izzy and Dean's kitchen.
"Because, Izzy has enough on her plate. Adding worrying about your mental health will take its toll on her.", Baron said.
Spencer sighed. Baron noticed his change. His brother was sweating now and he could hear him breathing heavy.
"I know, I have PTSD. Before they brought us home, they had us evaluated.", Spencer said.
"And why didn't you say anything?", Baron asked.
"Because I was finally home. I had my family back, my sons. If I would have said something, you all would have pushed me away and asked me to get help. Help that would require me to stay away from my boys. I just wanted to come home", Spencer said.
"So then you know you walk around, confusing people for someone else?", Baron asked.
"No, not at first. It's like I blackout", Spencer said.
Baron sighed and paced before facing his brother.
"I love you, Spence, but I love my son more. For him, I ask that you get the help that you need and if it requires you to leave him, then you will.", Baron said.
Spencer nodded.
"Yeah, ok", he replied.
Renee walked into the kitchen.
"Mr. Heyman is here", she said.
Baron walked out of the kitchen with his pregnant wife. His parents were greeting the doctor.
"So, should we start?", Paul asked.
Abel joined them with Dylan.
Isabelle was holding Austin as she watched Dean sleep. Doctor Jericho gave her good news today. The swelling in Dean's head had gone down. His body was healing and he could wake up any day now. Someone knocked on the door to Dean's room and she turned to see Roman.
He smiled.
"Hey, come on in", she said.
He did, taking Austin from her.
"You look exhausted", he pointed out.
She exhaled and tried to fix her messing bun.
"Have you slept at all?", he asked.
"A few minutes here and there. My mom and Trish watch the kids for me. Malia is with grandpa Jon and my grandma.", she said.
"Have you eaten?", he asked.
"Yeah, I had a sandwich", she said.
"When?", he asked.
"Last night", she chuckled before sitting and rubbing her eyes.
"He wouldn't want you like this, Izzy.", Roman said.
"I just want to be here when he wakes up", she said.
"I know", he said, kissing Austin's head.
"Would you mind watching them both while I go and get something from the vending machine?", she asked.
"I can watch them while you go get a proper meal and sleep. I'm serious, Iz. You are no good to them half dead", Roman said.
She nodded. Roman hit the button that called the nurse. A few minutes later, Brie walked in.
"Mind calling Nikki to come and pick Isabelle up. She needs food, a shower, and bed", Roman said.
Brie smirked.
"Finally, she listens to someone", Brie said.
"I've got Austin and Dean, Izzy. If anything happens, I'll call you right away", Roman said.
She nodded. She walked over to her husband and kissed him.
"I'll be back soon baby", she whispered.
She squeezed his hand before leaving with Brie.
"He'll be fine, they both will. I've got daycare here if Roman needs a break", Brie said.
Isabelle nodded.
After everyone had gone around and told Spencer how much they loved him, they also let him know how worried they were. Baron had let Spencer know what happened the night Dean found him walking around. Spencer recalled ending up in the living room with Dean, a knife in his hand, but he didn't know how he got there.
His parents as well had mentioned something. Abel was next and that scared him. What if it was him when Spencer had the knife.
"I'm sorry Ab, Dylan", Spencer cried.
"You didn't hurt me dad, I'm ok", Abel said.
Dylan and Abel hugged him.
"I would like to see you alone, Spencer. If you are up for it, we can meet in my office three times a week.", Paul said.
Spencer nodded.
"If she's able too, I would like to speak to Isabelle and Dean", Paul said.
Baron cleared his throat.
"That's going to be kinda hard. Dean's in a coma and Isabelle, maybe she can come down. Just let us know when", Baron said.
Paul nodded.
Nikki took Isabelle to her house. Calling Catrina to bring an extra pair of clothes for Isabelle.
"How is she?", Catrina asked Nikki.
"Exhausted. I had her take a shower to relax her body before eating and taking a nap.", Nikki said.
"Thank you", Catrina said.
Catrina made her way to the bathroom her daughter was in. She knocked before walking in. Isabelle shut the water off and wrapped the towel around her. She walked out of the stall and cried as soon as she saw her mom.
"I'm scared he's not going to wake up. He can't leave me, mom. I need him", Isabelle cried.
Her mom rocked her and held her close.
"He's going to be fine, Isa. I promise. The doctor said he was progressing.", her mom said.
Isabelle nodded.
"Is that why you don't want to leave his side? Are you afraid something is going to happen to him?", she asked.
Isabelle nodded. Her mom kissed her head.
Roman had given a bottle to Austin when Nikki arrived. She smiled at her husband.
"You always did look good with a baby", she said.
He smiled.
"How's he doing?", Nikki asked, gesturing to Dean with her chin.
"Chris said he's doing better. Swelling is going down, now we just wait for him to wake up", Roman said.
She nodded.
"Did he happen to give you a date?", she asked.
"No. It's up to Dean now. He said these things take time. It could be days, weeks, who knows", Roman said.
Nikki nodded.
"How's Izzy?", he asked.
"She showered, ate, and fell asleep. I left her with her mom and soon to be mother in law", Nikki said.
He nodded.
"I came to relieve you of your babysitting duties. I'll take Austin with me", Nikki said.
Roman nodded. Handing a sleeping Austin to Nikki.
"Have you heard anything on how it's going with Spencer?", he asked.
She shook her head no.
"Should I stop by and check things out?", he asked.
"Would it make you feel better?", she asked with a smile.
Growing up, starting families, each guy had promised the other two that if anything ever happened, they would be there for their families. Assuring each other that they would be taken care of by the other men.
Roman and Seth were keeping to that promise.
"Take Seth with you", Nikki said.
Roman nodded, kissing his wife before leaving.
Pulling into Isabelle and Dean's house. Seth and Roman made their way inside. Baron and Spencer were talking.
"Do you two always just walk right in?", Spencer asked.
"Yup", Seth said.
"Just checking in", Roman said.
"Checking in on what? And who are you?", a woman asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Mom, this is Roman and Seth. Their friends of mine and Izzy's. We met through Dean", Baron said.
She looked both men up and down before nodding.
"Where's Ab?", Roman asked.
"My grandson is fine. He's doing his homework in his room", Baron's mom replied before Baron could.
He sighed. Knowing his mom was getting defensive.
"My son is doing fine taking care of both his boys. You don't need to check in on him. Spencer would never hurt Abel. Its that whore he calls a mom who ruined everything. She's the reason your friend is in the state he's in. She's bad luck", their mom said.
"Mom, stop it. I've told you not to blame Izzy. None of this is her fault", Baron said, raising his voice.
His mom slapped him. Spencer getting between them.
"She was the reason you and your brother fell out. She is the reason Spencer joined the Marines and we lost so much time with him. She lied about who Abel's real father was. She's the reason you hate us. Everything that's happened to us is because of her.", she said.
She turned to look at Roman and Seth.
"Now look what she's done to your friend", she said.
"With all due respect, ma'am. You don't know what Isabelle has done for my brother. Everything good in his life, is because of her. If he was here right now, he would say the same, with no hesitation", Roman said.
"I think it would be best if you weren't here when she gets home. We don't need you filling her head with lies", Seth said.
She chuckled and grabbed her purse. Looking at her sons.
"You know where your dad and I are staying. If you need anything", she said.
Baron and Spencer nodded. Their dad patted their backs before looking at Roman and Seth.
"She's angry right now and wants someone to blame. Izzy has always been the easiest of targets for her.", their dad said.
"Doesn't mean we have to like what mom said. Besides, I told her the truth about everything, she just doesn't want to hear it", Spencer said.
Their dad nodded before leaving.
