Okay. Time for a disclaimer. I own none of the talented wonderful men in this story. If I did... Well I wouldn't just be writing about it that's for sure! I'm honestly not sure where it's headed but I feel it might be a more realistic story. Probably will be a slow-burn for the main couple, if I'm able to resist. At this point, until things are more written out, it's an OC/? story. Officially this is a Dean/OC/Roman story, Seth might possibly be involved but at this point that is up in the air.

Authors note: I made a chance to the disclaimer thingy. This IS Dean/OC/Roman and possibly Seth. So fear everyone. Our lovely Samoan Superman WILL be back to melt our Leecie's heart. Also, no smut in here, prelude to it kinda. =]


"So we're still good for that then?"

Leecie looked up as Jon walked in the room, cell phone to his ear as he drank a beer.

"Sweet, yeah. No, for sure man. Uh, no, I don't think so. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Catch you later brother."

"Wait, is that Joe?" Leecie asked before he could hang up.

"Joe, Leec wants to talk to you," Jon said, a small smirk coming to his face.

He handed the phone over and Leecie looked down, balking at practically the oldest Android ever made, but said nothing, instead putting it to her ear.

"Hey there Mr. Joseph," she said with a grin.

"Hello baby girl. I hear Jon has basically made himself at home there?"

A blush crept up on her face as Jon flopped on the couch next to her and started rubbing her calf muscle.

"Yep, kind of just barged in and held me at gun point," Leecie joked.

"Hey!" Jon cried, an offended look coming to his face.

"I'm kidding."

"I would hope so," Joe said with a chuckle, "So is he eating you out of house and home?"

She took a moment to compose herself as laughter bubbled up from his wording.

"Uh, not too bad. He's providing food too. Ooh, did the jerk tell you what he did?!"

"Which thing? There's apparently been a lot happening," he said.

Was that a tinge of jealousy in his voice. She bit her lip and looked at Jon in surprise. He had told Joe?

"What?" Jon asked, looking confused.

"Yeah, don't go all shy on me now baby. He's told me far more details than you could probably want him to by the way," he said casually.

"I- Uh- Oh lord, whhhhyyy?" she murmured, smacking her face.

"Joe, you weren't supposed to let her know I told you, fucker!" Jon snarled as he grabbed the phone.

She watched him stalk off up the stairs and fell back into the couch. Well damn! He had told Joe. But didn't he say at one point Joe liked her? So why would he tell him? She groaned as her brain hurt from thinking so hard and intensely and she rubbed the bridge of her nose.

"You pissed at me?"

Leecie looked up in surprise and pushed random strands of her red hair from her face to see him clearly. He looked as if he was pouting, but also looked ready to run.

"Uh, no. No. Surprised and confused are much better words," she said.

He let out a sigh and came over, sitting next to her again.

"He asked how you were doing and such, and I went a little overboard," Jon said, shrugging.

"What all did you tell him?" she asked cautiously.

Jon let out a whistle and said, "A lot?"

Whining in mortification, she fell back again.

"He couldn't want to know those details about me, why did you tell him?" she asked in a whiny tone.

"Like I said, it just came out. But who says he didn't want to know? I only said so much because he kept asking questions. He's still got a raging boner for you Leec. Well, not just that. He likes your personality and how you parent as well. And don't fucking tell him I'm letting you know this shit! He's got a big mouth but you gotta keep yours shut. He acts all cocky and shit, but he's pretty much a shy kid when he really likes someone."

Okay, she got that. Don't tell Joe. But why was Jon telling her?

"I'm sooooo damn lost!" she sighed, "Like, I'm not complaining one bit about this mind blowing sex between us, and how amazingly sweet and kind you're being, but like, is this a friends with benefits thing with us? Is it just like a one week stand? I don't mind, I just need to keep my head where it needs to be. You are seriously one of the men of my dreams so it's little hard not to swoon every time I look at you, and read more in your touches than there could be actually. Not only that, but you keep saying Joe still likes me. But you and I are doing this thing. Doesn't that turn him off me? And why are you so comfortable just waving those facts around? Please, please help me out here!"

"Leecie, calm down," he murmured.

She closed her eyes as she felt panic stir in her chest. Taking deep breaths and counting back from five helped a bit, so she did it again three more times. As she stopped counting for the last time, she felt a hand rubbing her thigh comfortingly.

"Everything will be explained in due time, okay? Let's just enjoy the holiday and time together, alright? I can answer one of your questions though."

Her green eyes popped open and she surveyed him closely as he leaned down.

"I do like you, a lot. I'm not fucking you with the intent of leaving here and not talking to you or seeing you again. You're gonna see this face a lot," he said, grinning so his dimples popped out.

Biting her lip to try to conceal a smile, she murmured, "I don't mind seeing that face."

He chuckled and brought her into a soft kiss.

"Give it a few more days and you'll understand everything, okay?"

She nodded and kissed him back happily. As long as things got sorted out soon, she could wait.

"Oh! Oh! Dean! You actually came!" Rose screamed.

Her purple leopard boots pounded through the snow, carrying her to Jon as fast as they could, while Amanda climbed out of the car with an interested look on her face.

"Hey spitfire," Jon said as he crouched and caught her.

She squealed and hugged him tightly, simply becoming a bundle of silver fabric and red curls with her face hiding in his shoulder completely. The look on his face was indescribable as he held her carefully.

"Glad to see you too Rose," he said.

Leecie took a deep breath and had to look away, instead choosing to focus on her mother who was quickly approaching.

"Hi mom," she said, giving her a small wave before she was pulled into a hug.

"Leecie, is that the lunatic one?" Amanda whispered as they embraced.

"Yeah," Leecie pulled back with a growing smile, "Mom, this is Jon Good, aka Dean Ambrose, Jon this is my mother Amanda."

Jon let go of Rose to stand, but kept a hand on her hair while the other was offered to Amanda.

"Nice to meet you ma'am," he said.

"Nice to meet you too Jon, might I say, you're rather more attractive in person without the wet hair. Now I can see why Leecie finds you so handsome," Amanda said, sending him a playful wink.

Mortified, Leecie groaned and could feel her face heating quick.

"Dean?"

The three adults looked down to the smallest red head and Jon said, "Yeah?"

"Can I call you Jon since mommy does?"

The smile that came to his face was grand as he chuckled.

"Course you can kid, now come inside, we've got cookies."

"Mom, you wanna-?"

"Oh no, I couldn't," Amanda said.

Leecie saw the hesitation and latched onto it, wanting to get her mom and Jon in the same room and talking so her mom could get to know the real him. Just in case. She shook her head at her train of thought but smiled.

"You sure? There's plenty enough of the chocolate chip and then salted caramel-"

"Oh maybe one won't hurt," her mom cut in as she watched Jon lead Rose inside, then she grinned, "Rose really seems to like him."

"I know. She adores Roman too," Leecie said, loving the warmth flowing in her chest, "Come on in mother dearest."

Leecie gathered up a platter of cookies and four glasses of milk while the others sat at the table.

"So what brings you here?" Amanda asked as Leecie handed her a glass.

"I promised someone I'd come see them before Christmas," Jon explained, throwing a wink to Rose who giggled.

"He's been quite the help with shopping and keeping me company during my lonesome," Leecie teased.

Amanda rolled her eyes.

"You're not lonesome often enough, you know it? We wouldn't mind taking her weekly Leecie. We love her just as much as you do," Amanda said.

"I know, yeah," Leecie replied, shifting uncomfortably.

She looked over at Rose and questioned if she could handle two or so days a week without the little girl. Rose was practically her world now, and she'd also miss on some big moments probably if she did that. It would be hard to accept, seeing as she had been the primary one throughout the years, getting to see every moment first. A fond smile came to her face as she thought about the past five and a half years. Rose had grown too much, too fast. Sometimes she wishes she could go back and hold Rose as in infant again, relish the new baby smell and the coos that she heard on a daily basis.

"What's wrong mama?" Rose piped up, "You looked sad."

Leecie caught herself and forced a big smile.

"Nothing sweetie, just thinking about how much you've grown," she replied, "Did you guys do anything extra special?"

"We went to Chuck E. Cheese!" Rose said excitedly, "And Memaw took me to bu-"

"Shh Rose, remember that's a present for your mommy," Amanda cut her off.

Rose blushed and said, "Oops! Sorry mama, I can't tell you about that one. But we got to see Christmas lights in the zoo and the animals were soooo cute. Mama?"

Uh oh. Leecie had a funny feeling about this. The eyelashes were fluttering and the lip pout starting.

"What honey?"

"Can I have a baby panda?

Jon, who had been quietly observing all the interactions, burst up laughing before hiding his face in his hands.

"Rose, do you know how much work goes into taking care of a panda?" Leecie asked.

"Well, no, but-"

"And they cost thousands of dollar, plus I'm pretty sure it's illegal to own a panda. Which means your mom would get in trouble," Jon explained.

Rose's face fell but Leecie came up with an idea.

"Hey, how about we get one of those furreal pandas?" she offered.

"What? For real real? I can get one?!" Rose squealed, "You're the best mama ever!"

Rose munched happily on her cookie and Leecie felt a hand on her shoulder, looking over to see Amanda with a big smile.

"She's right, you are. Now, did you put that money to good use and get a spa day or something?"

Leecie overheard Jon talking to Rose so she felt comfortable saying, "Well, no. I paid ahead a couple months on bills and I was going to use the rest for presents but Jon bought like four hundred worth that I had planned on. So now I need to go out and find some other things, maybe more clothes than anything, that she needs. I'll probably get her some new shoes, and that furreal pet, maybe-"

"You need to splurge on yourself too Leecie," Amanda said disapprovingly.

Leecie shook her head and sipped her milk.

"No, I don't. I'm perfectly fine."

"You're not. I'll admit you look more relaxed now than you have in years, probably thanks to that strapping young man, but you still look one blow from a breakdown. Go get your nails done, a massage, something," she urged.

"I'm fine," Leecie said with finality, "I'd rather spend the money on things Rose needs and uses."

Amanda sighed but nodded, and Leecie lowered her green eyes to the table. She was right, and she knew it, but she still hated the look of worry and pity on her mom's face.

"Alright, I'm going back home to papaw, give me some love Rose."

Amanda said her goodbyes and Rose decided she was going to go make Jon a Christmas gift, since he was officially 'family like Roman is'.

"I think she likes me," Jon said as he sat beside Leecie on the couch.

She snorted and looked up his laid back position, enjoying his solid form, until she met his bright blue eyes.

"You think?" she said, "It's pretty obvious she's attached to you like crazy. That means you can't go breaking her heart Mr. Good. You've gotta be her uncle for always."

Leecie grinned as she used Rose's words and Jon chuckled, wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

"I couldn't do that to her anyway. She's one of the coolest kids that I've met, besides JoJo of course."

She snuggled into his side and had to smile as she mulled over his words. Apparently Rose wasn't the only one getting attach. That was a good thing. Rose needed good male figures in her life, and Joe and Jon were definitely a good fit. Even as uncles.

"So we need to make a compromise here," he said suddenly.

She lifted an eyebrow and pulled back to give him a questioning look. Her heart fluttered as he ran a hand into her hair and began playing with the strands while staring at her intently.

"Yes?" she barely choked out.

His fingers were just barely pulling on her locks as he slid through them and it was making her weak. Her hair was very much an erogenous zone.

"Okay, more of an order than a compromise, but I want you to go out. Do something for yourself like you mom said. Nails, shopping, whatever. I can watch Rose here, if you trust me enough, or you can take her with for a girl thing, but you really do need to do something for yourself," he said.

She wanted to argue but as he pulled a little harder on her hair, all that came out was a soft moan as her eyes fluttered shut. She gripped his forearm, trying to get him to stop, but he kept at his motions.

"Tell me you'll go," he said.

"I- I- Ah, okay," she whimpered.

"Thank you."

Swiftly his other arm wrapped around her and pulled her into his lap as their mouths locked. She couldn't help but be a little giddy at the fact he tasted like chocolate added to his natural flavor. It made his kiss ten times better, which almost seemed impossible. They parted for a few breaths but when their eyes caught each other they started back up. Leecie couldn't get enough and she kind of thought he might feel the same. On their next parting, she bent down and started suckling on his flesh right below his jaw, enjoying the groan that sounded right in her ear.

"I need you, right now," he panted.

"Need you too," she gasped as his hand cupped her sex through her jeans.

Whimpering, she rocked into his hand and reached down to rub his erection straining against his pants.

"Mama? Jon? Are you in there?"

"Shit!" Jon cursed.

Leecie flew off his lap and hurriedly composed herself the best she could as Jon pulled a pillow onto his lap, yanking his phone out to act busy on it.

"Yeah sweetie, on the couch," Leecie called back.

Rose trotted into the room and cocked her head to the side. For a second, Leecie foolishly thought she might have deciphered what was going on, but thankfully Rose just ran and jumped into her mom's lap.

"Mama, can we go to the store? Just you and me?" Rose asked, shyly looking at Jon.

Leecie lifted her eyebrows but Rose leaned in and whispered, "I wanna get him a present."

"Ooh, yeah, of course sweetie, go get dressed."

Rose took off quickly from the room.

"What was that about?" Jon asked.

"She wants to get you a gift," Leecie explained, "We'll probably be back in like half an hour. If you go out, just please lock the door."

Jon nodded as she stood, but before she could take off he caught her by her belt loop, tugging her back so his head rested on her hip.

"Do something for yourself?" he asked.

"Tomorrow," she assured him, "It's already close to dinner time."

He nodded and let her go after placing a light slap on her ass. She blushed and went upstairs to get ready. Dressing in a gray sweater dress, black fleece tights, and snow boots, she took a moment to assess her look. She added a red scarf and was finally happy with her outfit. She fluffed out her red hair, enjoying the way it framed her face, but frowned as she noticed a zit forming on her jaw.

"Damn it. I'm too old to be getting these things," she sighed to herself.

Glaring at the small bump one last time, she turned and hurried down where she found Jon and Rose whispering.

"Oh... oooh," Jon said, voice lowering as his eyes took in her form.

Leecie blushed slightly but was distracted as Rose tackled her knees.

"Come ooon mama," she groaned.

"Alright, alright, let's go," Leecie replied, taking Rose's hand, "See you in a bit Jon."

He gave her a smile and she could practically feel his eyes roaming over body as they got through the door.
