Roman had talked to Dean and couldn't figure out why Seth kept panicing that everyone would leave him when they punished him. Roman couldn't figure out why honestly and it seemed to have gotten worse since he came back. Roman sighs and looks at Seth who is curled up with Dean, watching some movie.
Roman then gets an idea since Dean has Seth distracted. He then motions to Dean that he was going to step out of the hotel room and make a call. Dean nods and rubs Seth's back, going back to the movie. Roman steps outside and then dials the number that he knows off by heart.
"Roman is something wrong," Answers a soft voice.
"Nothing is wrong mom.. I'm calling to ask a couple questions," Roman states.
His mom hums, "ask away."
Roman sighs, "Seth keeps panicing that me and Dean are going to leave him.. what.. what was it like before he was adopted."
His mother sighs, "that makes sense. Seth was taken from his parents young but he didn't stay in one foster home after he was removed from his parents. He was always a hyper child and caused a lot of trouble at times for foster parents. When he did he would be punished but then he would be moved. They would give up on him. They told him he was too bad."
Roman frowns softly, "So that's why when he's in trouble he clings to me and Dean like we'll run away."
His mother sighs, "Afraid so. Though I thought he got over that with your father and me."
Roman sighs, "It might be something to do with my surgery that brought this on. He thought he lost me."
His mother hums, "Maybe. He'll calm down soon. Just give him time."
Roman nods, "thank you mom."
Roman hangs up after their good byes. Roman walks in and sees Seth sleeping against Dean. Dean is almost asleep as he tries to watch the movie. Roman sighs and then pulls a blanket up around Seth and motions Dean to follow him. Dean shifts Seth and gets out of bed, walking over to Roman. Roman explains what their mom told him.
Dean frowns, "I know the kid is a brat at times.. but to give up him."
Roman shakes his head, "At least we have a bit of an idea as to why he is acting this way. "
Dean nods, "We're not going to give up on him and we'll prove that."
Roman nods, "yup lets get some sleep though."
Dean nods and crawls into bed with Seth, pulling the blankets around them. Roman lays down on the other bed and thinks. He remembers when his mom brought Seth home.
Roman looks up from playing with Dean as his mom walks over. A little boy hides behind his mom and he peeks out at them. He's younger then himself and Dean by at least a couple years. Roman walks over and peeks around his mom's legs at the boy, "Hi."
The boy peeks at him with large brown eyes.
Roman's mom smiles softly, "This is Roman your big brother. Roman this is Seth. He's a little shy."
Roman beams and then catches Seth gently in a hug and then pulls him out, "this is Dean."
Dean grins at Seth and waves happily, "Another playmate?"
Roman's mom nods, "yes."
Dean grins and takes Seth's other hand, "Come play on the slide Sethie. Rome will catch you if you fall, he's a good big brother like that."
Seth peeks at them both and then nods, following them.
Roman takes a breath and then looks at his brothers. Seth had been so Shy and tried so hard in the beginning to be good. Then when he first got into trouble. Seth had cried for hours. Roman was too young to know why but now he did know. His parents must have dealt with the same problem.
He still remembers the first time he punished Seth.
Seth whines softly as Roman glares at him. Their parents had left him in charge of his brothers since they went to visit family. Seth though had messed up and then yelled at Roman that he wasn't in charge of him and he wouldn't dare Spank him. Dean had winced at that one. Roman had swiftly put Seth over his lap and spanked his bottom to a bright red. Seth had clung to him and stayed close to Roman for a day after that.
Roman tries to sleep and then jumps when he feels a body press against his. Seth crawled into bed and now was holding onto Roman tightly. Roman runs his hand through Seth's hair and whispers, "we're not going anywhere. We'll never give up on you."
