"Randy here," John flagged the tattooed man over. "We've got her."
"Oh thank god," Randy jogged over. "I just got the bitch to leave fibbing that Alanna was with Hunter and Steph couldn't let her know that Alanna had been in the bathroom the most of the time," Randy groan to adjust his throat that was sore from yelling. "Where is she?" Randy asked showing that he didn't care who found Alanna or where just that his baby girl was safe.
"In there," John pointed at the GM office door while Evan found himself speechless. Randy glided into the room and just about feel to his knees beside the couch that contained Alanna. Evan watched his lover and how he interact with the little girl amazed by his father's worry.
"I am so sorry baby," Randy whispered. "You should have never heard any of that Daddy is so sorry," he kissed the sleeping girl's head. "Thank you for finding her John," Randy turned and stood back up.
"I didn't, Evan did," John tilted his head towards Evan. Randy said nothing and just walked over to Evan and hugged him.
"She might wake up," Evan stammered. "We should go back out in the hall."
"Yeah," John agreed as the three men stepped out into the main corridor where the crew was packing things up.
"Thank you Evan for finding here and bringing her to John she must have been scared," Randy tried to look into the brown eyes he adored that were avoiding his icy blue gaze.
"No actually she was more upset over the," Evan just shut his mouth and looked at the ground he didn't want Randy to know that he knew a bit about the divorce where the tattooed man hadn't brought it up to him before.
"Shit," Randy swore and walked past John and then back down.
"Language there are little ears in that room right there that could be awake," John scolded pointing at the door.
"Sorry. And I'm sorry to you too Evan for not filling you in on everything," Randy walked behind Evan and wrapped his arms around the small man. "I just thought the less you knew the less you would get hurt if the proceedings go south."
Evan let a soft smile come to his face he knew that there had to be other reasons but the first one Randy gave was one he understood. The Viper was just trying to protect him from getting attached to the small girl in the other room and Alanna from being attached to him just in case the court proceedings did not go in Randy's favour.
"I understand," Evan placed his hand over Randy's on his shoulder.
"Not mad at me?" Randy asked worried that there could be anger for being left in the dark and for neglecting Evan when in St. Louis.
"No, can't be because I know that she comes first and I sort of always knew that," Evan swallowed feeling a bit teary-eyed and wanting to discuss his and Randy's relationship more when they were in private.
"Thank you Evan," Randy kissed Evan's head. "Come home with me and John tonight then?"
"Uh yeah," the high flier was shocked by the offer form Randy to spend the night. Evan relaxed into Randy's embrace looking up at his stormy eyed lover. "I want to talk to you when you get your nightly duties done," Evan explained not wanting to say read Alanna a story because he wasn't sure what Randy's home routine was.
"Ok we will," Randy squeezed Evan tighter happy that Evan was very easy going and understanding so far. A tiny part inside Randy's head warned him Evan could be upset and that is why he wants to talk.
"Uncle John!" Alanna called from the room and John bolted into the room and Randy quickly broke his embrace with Evan and raced into the room too Evan following behind.
"Hey its ok Uncle John is right here and look so is Daddy," John motioned to Randy who when to kneel next to the couch.
"Hey sweetie, have a good nap?" Randy stroked her messed up pig tails.
"Yes Daddy, I'm sorry I was bad," Alanna sucked her lip in.
"Yes you were should have stayed were I told you to I was worried baby," Randy hugged the little girl his words having held no malice.
"Not that, I went with a stranger," Alanna sniffed. "Him," she pointed and Randy turned to see she was pointing at Evan.
"That's not a stranger princess, that's Evan," Randy smiled. "Daddy's special friend."
"Special friend?" Alanna questioned. "So I'm not in trouble?"
"No. I'll explain tomorrow when I get home with Nana and Gramps ok?" Randy ruffled her hair more.
"Pinkie promise?" Alanna held out her pinkie finger.
"Promise," Randy hooked his finger with hers. Evan's heart melted for Randy even more watching him in father mode, it was a side he had never seen before. Many would assume Randy would want nothing to do with his daughter but Evan could tell in that moment Randy wanted everything to do with raising his little girl.
"Hey guys," John called from the door. "They really want to dismantle the GMs room so want to go grab our gear and get out of here?"
"Let's go," Randy scooped Alanna up in his arms.
