"She is my wife" shouted Seth, the men in front of and surrounding him looked in shock that he had even raised his voice let alone actually shouted at someone. The few women there also looking up from what they had been doing. Roman, Dean, Punk, Finn and Corey all stood before him like he was some sort of king, like they were knights awaiting their orders or information on the next war they would be fighting in. "How could you do this?" asked Seth swiping his two toned hair to the side and out of his eyes. The anger and frustration beginning to fade, slowly being replaced with the tears of uncertainty and confusion on someone he trusted would do such a thing and put his family in jeopardy. He didn't know what he would do if he lost either of them

"It wasn't meant to be like this, she was supposed to be the bait to draw Evolution out. She was supposed to be taken to safety. I'm sorry Seth" responded Roman, his deep voice echoing through the normally bustling office area. It was almost like the employee's of Knight's Raven were waiting, even watching in anticipation to see what was going to happen next, like this was some sort of soap opera to them. "The driver was supposed to take her to the rendezvous point five blocks away. Not hand deliver her to Evolution" continued Roman. His words pleading his innocence but his eyes screaming there was more to the situation that meets the eye. His icy eyes screaming there was more secrets that had yet to be discovered. They were emotionless, not matching the words that flowed effortlessly from his dry lips, he was almost trembling in fear of what might happen if they found out the truth.

"Whether it was supposed to happen or not Roman, Seth could potentially lose Paige because of this" responded Punk, understanding how his younger brother was feeling. After all he had been in similar situations countless times, one of them a few years prior with AJ mysteriously disappearing. He had only received the message "Pep" from her in a text message. He had realised hours later it was the first three letter of Pepper, their code words for in danger. He had done everything he could then with the help of those he trusted with his life to find her and bring her home, they had stayed with Seth and Paige for a while afterwards. He knew if the raven haired beauty his brother called wife had her phone she would have done something similar but they had discovered her bag with her phone and anything traceable inside at the place where the meeting had originally taken place.

"Daddy" came a voice of a young boy, no older than four, wearing a pair of jeans and plan green t-shirt, paired with black and white converse. The dark haired boy ran over to Seth wrapping his arms around his thighs and resting his head on his hip. "Daddy, where's mommy? She said she would be back" asked the young boy, an older woman following behind the young boy, an apologetic look place firmly on her features as she looked down at the young boy with sympathy. He was too young to understand his mother had gone missing or had been taken by someone. He was too young to understand the danger she was possibly in. She couldn't bring herself to tell the boy his mother might not be coming home, or of the other possibilities there was for her fate, she could only give him false hope that everything would be okay despite there being a high chance it wouldn't be.

"Mommy will be home soon. There has just been a little bit of an incident. But I promise you Luke I will do everything to make sure she comes home safely" replied Seth once he had leant down to the boys height, stroking a hand through his neatly done hair and seeing the boys eyes reminded him of Paige, as did his raven hair. Even the smile the boy gave him reminded Seth of his mother, especially when her kind and sweeter side that she only showed to those in her trusted circle and those who called her friend. Seth knew he would do everything in his power to make sure the mother of his son was brought home safely, he wouldn't only be reuniting himself with his loving wife but he would also be reuniting mother and child again, something that brought a warm feeling to his heart and something that would serve as motivation of finding her like he promised to do.

With that Seth woke up from his sleep, looking around the dimly lit room at the black box that served as a digital clock on the bed side table next to him, seeing it wasn't even half five in the morning and the sun hadn't even risen outside. He looked around the room seeing everything was how it had been left the night before, the only thing that seemed out of place to him was his phone flashing up with a text message from none of than Roman. Seth contemplated reading it or leaving it until he had woken up properly, he soon looked to his side upon hearing a quiet sigh of content from beside him, a small admiring smile coming to his lips upon seeing his raven haired lady sleeping peaceful without a care in the world, it was in that moment he forgot about the message. His curiosity taking over as he wondered what she was dreaming about, just as the events of his own dream come back to him. He soon placed a soft kiss on her temple and once again wrapped her in his arms, wondering how he hadn't woken her when he suddenly jumped awake moments before hand.

It had been months since Evolution had been arrested, each of them being kept in custody until they were cleared of the charges against them, something that was unlikely to happen due to the mountain of evidence against them and the shear determination of the duo known as the Brothers of Destruction. Ever since Mark had lost Paige after she found out what he had done, he was determined to make sure those who wanted to hurt his oldest daughter were where they belonged, locked up behind bars where they couldn't hurt her or anyone else for that matter. Although she had walked away from him, he hadn't stopped being her father, an act he was showing through his actions and determination of putting all those who forced her to run where everyone knew they belonged.

"How is Michelle taking it?" asked Kane, breaking the almost deafening silence that had over taken the area they were in, both of them doing paper work that needed to be filed, no doubt long over due as it normally was for them and most police officers around the world. He knew since Paige had left the Calaway residents months before hand no longer seeing the large family house as her home things had been different. Mark had distant himself from Michelle and Kaia almost like he didn't want to hurt them in the same way he had done with Paige. He also knew Michelle had asked what had happened with Mark responding with the entire truth including what he had done for Paige to respond to him in the way she had, to say her trust in her husband had been shaken was the understatement but she soon realised upon learning more of Saraya why he had done it, unlucky for both of them Kaia couldn't understand why her sister hadn't come home or even contacted any of them.

"She understood everything and tries to tell Kaia every day that Paige wont be coming home. Kaia being as young as she is doesn't understand why, when she knows Paige is still out there. Neither one us can work out a way to tell her in a way she will understand while also being truthful with her" responded Mark revealing both mother and father had been trying to find a way of telling their five almost six year old daughter the truth in way they knew she would understand. "Kaia has also been showing a lot of anger, she misses Paige and knows her sister isn't there because of something I did. She keeps asking me to make things right, every night when I return she asks if I have done something to bring Paige back, every time I say no I see the sadness and tears appear in her eyes. Because of my stupid mistake back then I have lost one of my girls and on the verge of losing the other one as well" finished Mark revealing he knew Kaia was getting more frustrated with him when he couldn't bring one of the people she loved home again, especially when she didn't know the real reason why her big sister left in tears before.

"She's young Mark, five years old is too young to be brought into all of this, to know the truth on what her daddy used to do for a living and what her big sister now does. She's too young to know what lead to Paige leaving the way she did" replied Kane knowing Kaia was too young to learn the truth on what Paige now did and what her dad and uncle had previously done for a living, how they had each met someone they had called their true love. Although only Kane's had stuck, Crystal giving him two beautiful daughters of his own in Summer and Emma, like Kaia both missed their cousin although knew the reason why she had left. "Hopefully when she is older she will understand, maybe then she will get the answers to her questions and understand she hasn't done anything to make Paige leave. Just promise me you wont keep things from her like you did with Paige. I don't think I could handle another rebellious niece, this one is bad enough" finished Kane, lightening the mood a little, in a way he found it ironic how his own two girls had turned out so different to that of their slightly younger cousin. Their golden hair showing their happy personalities of being raised outside the business, never knowing of it until they were twenty one where he and Crystal sat them down and told them the truth. Where as Paige's dark haired showed her rebellious side, especially when she was put in critical condition when she was in her late teens and began to discover the secrets that had been kept from her.

"I wont, believe me I have learnt my lesson from this. When Kaia is old enough I will tell her everything" responded Mark, just hoping when that day come, his youngest daughter would understand why those things were kept from her, hoping she would accept anything that had happened between now and then wasn't her fault but his own. He hoped she would be understanding and accepting like Summer and Emma were when they found out, after all she was more like them in terms of appearance than she was Paige, although her personality was close to Paige's at that age, curious and rather mischievous. It brought a smile to his lips at remember what his oldest daughter was like and how similar his youngest with Michelle is to her. He knew from the personalities they both share that they were both his children. Anyone who knew them and him could tell that. Kane could only smile softly at remembering his own two girls running around and playing with their cousin, the moments when Summer went drama queen and wanted to go shopping, dragging an unwilling Paige and a partially convinced Emma along with her.

At Princess Mansion, Roman was with Zarah the mother to be glowing as her due date drew closer with every new day that past, she was now eight months pregnant and full prepared for when the time come. She had found out she was to have a baby boy, a bright smile coming to her lips when Dr Galloway informed her. Especially when she realised her dreams of having a son for her first child had come true, with Roman they had settled to call their son Jordan, they had settled on the name mere hours after finding out the gender of the child. Those who protected Zarah had helped to decorate the nursery ready for when the baby boy comes home for the first time.

"How are things going with you, Seth and Dean?" asked Zarah sitting in the back living room that over looked the gardens, she felt peaceful there and often took little cat naps there when she felt exhausted. She could remember when Roman had told her he was going to try and make things right with those he still seen as friends, after all they had allowed him to see Zarah and kept her safe despite being hostile towards him. Zarah only sighed when he didn't respond knowing from his lack of response things weren't going well. "You promised you would try and get this sorted out before Jordan is born. You're running out of time" added Zarah, putting her feet up and seeing how swollen her ankles were over her baby bump. She loved knowing what was to come but almost hated the side effects such as the morning sickness, swollen ankles and the constant mood swings she had experienced over the last eight month.

"I know, I'm working on it. Seth isn't so much angry at you any more, more me for everything that happened. Where as Dean being Dean staying out of it as much as possible. He's letting me and Seth attempt to sort things out although it is a little hostile still with me merging with Evolution to get payback on them" responded Roman, revealing things were still hostile despite there being months passed since Evolution had been arrested and he had been allowed to see Zarah again. He could understand the anger of both Seth and Dean, because of his decision made in anger and hurt he had forced them on the run and endangered the lives of Renee and Paige more than they already were, plus he had turned their friendship in to a rival fit for any long time enemies rather than three men that were like brothers at one point. "I don't know if they will ever understand why I did what I did, but I wont give up until they realise how sorry I am and that I now get why they are so angry at me" finished Roman, handing the French fries from McDonalds over to the expecting mother so she could settle her cravings. He had to admit he was beginning to get excited about being a father now the nerves had began to fade and the dream period as he called it had faded. Now that it had settled in he was going to have a son, he was getting more excited as the time got nearer.

"Eventually they will forgive you, until then keep earning their trust and proving to them you deserve to be called friend and brother again. And be a good dad to your son, as you know if you don't on the last one then I will find the nearest frying pan and whack you up side the head with it with a smile on my lips" replied Zarah, feeling their son kick and seeing the smile come to Roman's lips at hearing what she would do if he wasn't there for their son as he had promised. He could almost imagine her putting their son to bed with a bedtime story then waiting at the door for him with the frying pan of choice in hand, no doubt not in any mood to hear whatever excuse he may of thought of before walking through the door. "Paige has been kind to you considering everything that happened, she has been the same with me, you know we didn't get off to the best start. Yet she made sure I wasn't treated like a prisoner and did something about my request of being here when my due date arrives. She made sure I'm looked after. So you know she isn't like you imagined her to be" added Zarah knowing Roman had imagined her as a monster who would hurt others to make her target feel pain. When in truth she was one of the kindest people Zarah had met and a rather generous person.

"I know" responded Roman thinking over the situation and noticing how Paige and Renee had stayed out of it, both no doubt deciding what happens should have nothing to do with them since it was Seth and Dean hurt the most by the entire situation despite their lives being in more danger when they were forced to run. "I've just noticed Paige and Renee are staying out of it, they are leaving Seth and Dean to sort it out" added Roman revealing although Roman had done something to them, they had opted to allow the boys to solve the problems between them due to their relationship once resembling that of brothers or close family. Zarah only smiled upon hearing that knowing the girls would solve their problems with him at a later date when he had dealt with the two he wished to call friends again and salvage what remained of the relationship he had with them.

With Seth, he was currently in the security hub of the mansion he shared with Paige, the events of the dream he had the night before playing on repeat in his head. In a way it brought a smile to his lips, he was dreaming about marrying Paige and having a family with her. After all he had called her his wife in the dream just as he had dreamt of their son Luke, although he never actually seen her in the dream it had felt so real to him, even to the point when he woke up he looked around for the four year old boy he had seen. While focusing on the dream and wondering if it actually meant anything, Seth hadn't noticed Paige enter the hub, a mug of coffee and a small plate of biscuits in hand, as well as her music playing through the earbuds as she bobbed her head to the music and walked with a slight bounce in her step.

"Oh sorry didn't mean to scare you" shouted Paige, although Seth was sure it sounded like she was talking normally to her. The Iowan merely reached out and pulled one of her earbuds out, placing it in his own ear with a small smile as he pulled her to sit on his lap, once she had put the coffee and biscuits down. He could happily listen to music with her all day, just being around her put him at peace and brought that genuine smile to his lips. "What were you thinking about?" asked Paige wrapping her arms gently around his neck, she knew he had been thinking about something, the way he had jumped when she put the coffee mug down and no doubt shouted his name, she could tell she had given him a scare by the way he turned around quick enough to give himself whiplash and placed a hand on his chest over his heart in an attempt to calm it from racing as it no doubt was.

"A dream I had last night. It was different from what I normally dream about" responded Seth, his voice low as he enjoyed the moment, he loved the moments when it was just the two of them together, the quietness bringing a peaceful atmosphere with it. Making it seem like their lives were that of any other resident in Orlando rather than the chaotic life they had been dealt. "I dreamt we were married and had a son together. Although I didn't actually see you in the dream, I did see our four year old son, he had your hair, eyes and smile. I remember shouting at Roman for something, saying you were my wife" added Seth explaining parts of his dream, seeing the expression she had on her features, the softness of it like she enjoyed hearing about his dream. "It felt so real, touching our son felt so real" finished Seth, he missed the bit where he had two toned hair in this dream and that Paige herself was in the hands of Evolution at that point.

"Sounds like you're finally looking to the future rather than the past" replied Paige, knowing the dream of having a family and being married was a drastic change from the nightmares he had of losing someone he loved from another turning on him. She could remember waking up from him thrashing around and near enough shouting at whatever he was dreaming of. That only ending with Seth jumping awake covered in a cold sweat and panting from the most likely disturbing nightmare. Like with now he would tell her about it, knowing she would never judge him, instead she would help him to understand what the dream was about, often with nightmares he seen them as warnings but with this one it was clear he didn't know if it was a warning or something he one day hoped to have. "What do you think it is?" asked Paige wondering what his thoughts were on the dream, since he had admitted he was thinking about it when she entered the room with substance for him.

"I don't know, parts of it say I'm moving on from being on the run for so long where as other parts suggest the past with always catch up with me" responded Seth resting his head on her shoulder, closing his eyes as he could hear her heartbeat although rather faintly. When he looked up to her, he knew he had confused her with his words. He quickly sighed to himself before trying to gain the confidence to tell her by encourage himself and remembering he didn't have to hide anything from the woman sitting on his lap, they had been through a lot together over the months since they had met, even their first meeting didn't go all that well. Yet still some how he felt a strong connection to her, still happy to be able to call her his own. "I didn't see you in my dream because Evolution had got to you, I was shouting at Roman for using you as bait" added Seth revealing why he hadn't see the raven haired beauty in the dream despite her being mentioned and the pair of them having a son together.

"You can't give upon him now. Despite everything that has happened in recent months you were once like brothers" spoke Paige refusing to let her protector and partner give up on someone he had once been close with, similar to how Renee was refusing to let Dean give up on Roman. Like Paige she knew the boys would regret it if they walked away without trying to work things out, it was just trying to get them to see it to. "He was your best friend once, a brother. If you give up now you'll end up regretting it as will Dean. Its time to sort through your difference and find a way to move on even if it isn't together as you once were. If you do go your separate ways at least make sure its on good terms" finished Paige attempting to reason with the man who held her heart, although she didn't know Roman that well she had opted to at least convince the Iowan before her to try and mend things before it was too late, if it wasn't already.

The next day rolled around quickly, like every day for the past few months the Calaways hadn't heard anything from Paige although both members of the Brothers of Destruction kept a close watch on Knight's Raven noticing a few changes over the time that had passed. At this moment in time Dean and Seth were waiting in an open area for the arrival of Roman, both having taken the words of the women they called soul mate to heart and acting on what they had said. AJ and Finn were keeping a close eye on Paige were as Karl and Luke were doing the same with Renee giving the girls the comfort of knowing they had protection despite not having the normal protectors there. Both men were talking about their happy relationships when the Samoan they had once called best friend and brother appeared, hastily making his way towards them like he was expecting something bad to happen at any moment, an uncertain look painted on his features to match, although both Dean and Seth were wondering if that was because Roman still worried about backlash from other members of Evolution or because he was getting nervous about the birth of his son which was fast approaching.

"Okay, we're willing to listen. But on the condition you tell us the truth on everything. And I mean everything" spoke Dean, the flash of the unstable look passing across his features as he spoke to the slightly older man, Seth just stood by almost admiring how Dean did that. Making any man who thought of crossing him think twice and very carefully before doing so. It wasn't long before Roman nodded to the words Dean had spoken, it was clear he had thought about this by the expression on his features as he nodded, it was a look of determination and will, like he was trying to keep to something he had said he would do or even promised someone. Both men had guessed it was likely to be Zarah that he had promised since she was the only person he had yet to actually turn against and the only one he had shown any real emotion to. As evident when she was taken how determined he was to find her, even willing to hand the pair of them over to Evolution to ensure her safety, although like always with Roman it was clear he hadn't thought it all the way through. The irony there being amusing in its own way.

"I'm sorry for turning on you back then, when you guys left I was confused, angry and surprise, I didn't know what to do. I know it was my own decisions that lead to you two making your decision to walk away, it was a shock since we had always worked through our problems and come to some sort of way of solving them that worked for all of us. I couldn't see past my own ego for that I'm sorry. Because of my stupid actions and decision you two could have lost the people you love and had your own lives endangered" spoke Roman making sure to take care with what words he spoke, knowing if he said the wrong thing it could make everything worse. "Seth I especially apologise to you, I made the decision to go behind your back with Zarah, I convinced her to keep it a secret when she was going to tell you and because of that you ended up getting hurt, you had and still have every tight to be angry with me, it was thanks to me your heart was broken the way it was and Dean I know you trusted me, and I know through my actions with Zarah that trust would have been shaken in the pair for the pair of you and mostly destroyed after I merged with Evolution. You both could have lost someone close to you because of my reckless choice, you both could have been killed because of me" finished Roman explaining he knew now that everything was going to be different with them, just as he knew he knew he had a lot of work ahead of him if he wanted to get everything back to how it once was or as close to it as possible.

"We will give you a chance to prove you've changed, mainly because we know you promised Zarah and because Renee would no doubt question Dean about it and Paige would probably kick my ass around the mansion if we didn't" responded Seth knowing what would happen if he and Dean didn't give Roman that all important chance to prove to them he deserved their trust and brotherhood again. Roman knew it would be a long journey to get the relationship he had with the two men before him back, but couldn't help but smile when Seth mentioned what Paige would do if he hadn't been given the chance, it made him realise although he had hurt the younger woman she had opted to let them solve their problems on their own without any interference, Renee too making the same decision although she would no doubt catch him at a later date. He suspected both women would.

Back at Princess Armoury II, Renee had opted to visit Paige knowing it would give the girl some comfort and also give the men protecting them some peace of mind that they were in the same place and out of harms way. Plus Renee just wanted to be there, knowing Paige was still coming to terms with what she had learnt through the letter she had received from members of Evolution months ago turning out to be true, like Seth and Dean did, Renee knew she was struggling when it come to moving forward that one decision made by her father had changed everything for her, leaving her lost and confused, unsure who to trust or who to put her faith in.

"How you holding up?" asked the blond Canadian, a small friendly smile on her painted lips. At this moment both women were sat in the living room over looking the front of the property, they had both guessed Finn and his three most trusted Demons were in the security hub, the one room in the house where they could keep an eye on everything going on around the grounds of the mansion and in the building itself. The blond watched as Paige tried to keep her emotions in check and herself together at remembering what she had spent the last few months trying to forget, like most had expected she was struggling while trying to come to terms with what she had learnt and move on from it. Renee knew all to well it had brought concerns to the younger raven haired woman, especially about her own future when it come to settling down and having her own family.

"I'm just to trying to think of reasons why my dad would do that. But I can't think of any reason why he would hire someone to kill her. Just like I can't bring myself to forgive him for it. I keep willing myself to, trying to convince myself he had a good reason for doing such a thing, but then I remember he said he loved her yet he is also responsible for her death" responded Paige, not knowing how to move forward from that, although she did have an idea, one she would need to consult with her council to see if they agreed due to it affecting them too. "I think I know what I have to do, he's not going to like it but its the only way to finish what he started but I would need to get the opinions of my council members at it would effect them too" finished Paige quickly wiping away the tears that had fallen, not wanting to show any sort of weakness to anyone. The raven haired princess could tell by the way Renee nodded she knew what she had in mind.

"Just do one thing before we go" spoke Renee in response gaining Paige's curiosity, to which she smiled sadly knowing Paige would end up in tears at the thought of doing what she was about to suggest. "Write a letter to say goodbye to your little sister, I doubt your dad would have been able to tell her why you never come home, I doubt anyone has told her what is going on" added Renee, watching as Paige nodded to the request no doubt knowing it was what was best for her little sister, if the truth come from her as well as an explanation on why she was going. It would at least save her dad and Michelle the trouble of trying to find the right words and time to tell her. "Maybe send one to your cousins as well, I'm sure they will want to know what happened to their younger cousin" finished Renee once again watching Paige nod to the request, already knowing through the letters her uncle Kane, aunt Crystal, Father and Michelle would realise what she was going to do.

"She's never going to forgive me for leaving but she has a right to know the truth. Same with Summer and Emma" replied Paige, tears once again making her brown eyes shimmer at having to say goodbye to the three members of her family who hadn't done anything to hurt her in any way. She knew Summer would ask god knows how many questions, Emma would probably be angry but eventually understand why she had done it, where as Kaia would be the one to suffer the most, Paige had always been there as an older sister, then with the chaos taking over they had been parted. That now seemed to be a more permanent thing, she didn't know how Kaia would act especially when she was older and understand it more. "I just hope she understands one day why I chose to do this, I hope she understands it wasn't because of anything she did" added Paige failing completely to hold back her tears, Renee quickly pulling her into a comforting embrace although she had tears in her own eyes, seeing how much Paige cared for her younger sister and how much it hurt her to have to say goodbye to her two cousins and little sister.
