Tayler drove towards the hotel where she and her sons had rented a hotel room. Devin chattered on happily about the fun times he'd had with JoJo, the games they'd played and the things they'd imagined could have happened in Jamestown back in 1607. Neither Tayler nor Colton really paid attention to him.

"Mom, I know you don't have plans to see Dean Ambrose again but I have to tell you that I was upset when I saw his arm around you." Colton spoke quietly to his mother. "I was talking to Colby about it on the way to the car and he said I should be honest with you, so I am." He kept his eyes on the road directly ahead of the car.

"Okay, I appreciate you being honest with me." Tayler adjusted her grip on the steering wheel. "Understand that your father and I are never getting back together."

"Mom…"

"Hon, let me finish." She took a deep breath. "At some point, I will date again. Maybe sometime soon. When that time comes, whomever he is will have to meet the approval of both of you. He will have to fit in with our family. That is a given, a promise. But you have to understand that it will happen, Colt. The day will come."

Her son looked at her and nodded. "I know, Mom. And when that time comes I'll be okay with it as long as he isn't mauling you in front of me within minutes of meeting you. That's what I had an issue with. Well, that and the reputation that Dean has. He is known to be a… Um, a player."

The backseat had gotten quiet but they hadn't realized it while they had been talking. Now Devin spoke up. "Dean hasn't been, um, like that, Colton. He's been dating Renee." The car was absolutely silent.

Colton turned and looked at his brother over the seatback. "Are you sure? How do you know?"

Devin nodded. "JoJo's mom was talking to her dad about it. She didn't know why he was kissing our mom if he was dating Renee. He told her to hush 'cause it wasn't their business."

Her older son looked at Tayler. "Sorry Mom. You seemed to like him."

Looking sideways at her son, she said, "Hey, we helped The Shield today. It was all good. Besides I knew about that. The girls that were following them around were talking about that so no harm, no foul. Let it be." The smile she gave him didn't reach her eyes. Facing forward, she blinked furiously to keep the tears at bay. How could I be so stupid? I forgot about her. I believed him when he said today would be a day he won't forget. How could that be true when he has a girlfriend?

Galina walked into the restaurant and made sure that the room she had reserved was still set aside, out of view of the public. After the fiasco at Jamestown Settlement all they wanted was a quiet dinner. True, she could cook at the house but this was her vacation as well. Thankfully the room was secluded and the guys were able to get in without too much trouble. Joe sat JoJo between the two of them. Colby sat across from the bouncing little girl, making faces at her causing her to shriek in laughter. Jon skipped a chair and sat down quietly.

"Sup?" Joe asked the other man quietly.

"Thinkin'." he said.

Joe tapped the table. "Ya know if you want to share those heavy thoughts…"

Jon looked at his near-brother. "Got-ya." He nodded. The waitress stood beside Jon, batting her eyelashes and asking what he would like to drink. "Ah… Just bring an iced tea." he muttered.

Colby mouthed at Joe, "Iced tea?" Joe shrugged. Leaning back in his chair, Colby looked at his friend. "Everything okay?"

"I'm good. We're good. Everything's good. Ya'll need to leave me be." Jon muttered gruffly.

"Hey, bud. You haven't been yourself since we left Jamestown. We're just…" Joe started. Colby shook his head too late.

Jon pushed away from the table. "Yes, I liked her. Yes, I put my foot in it, okay? I don't have any way to reach her so there isn't anything to worry about. Let. It. Go." He headed for the doorway of the secluded room only to realize that if he left the other patrons would recognize him. He was effectively trapped. Heading to the back of the room, he paced along the back wall.

Colby looked at Joe. "O-o-okay. I am confused. What is going on?" he whispered.

Galina mouthed "Renee." His eyes opened wide. She nodded. She held up two fingers. She mouthed "Two months."

Joe mouthed at Colby, "Or more."

No one at the table was paying attention to the man they were talking about. They were so busy talking about him that they weren't paying attention to him. "I am NOT dating Renee. I never have dated Renee. You are supposed to be my friends, my brothers, my family and you people believe that shit, too?" He ran both hands through his hair and looked at the ceiling. "She was my friend. A woman that I trusted, stupid as I am. Yes, I slept with her a couple of times. It was more convenient that boffing a rat. She wanted more. You guys know my past, when have I been able to have a relationship? When have I wanted one? As soon as she pushed for it I pushed her away. That's when we stopped riding together. That's when we stopped going out for a drink after shows. No more. Never again. Can't happen." He slapped his hands on the table. "Not that you all knew that." The adults at the table had the good sense to lower their heads in shame. Jon straddled a nearby chair. "That doesn't help me now. I'm just…confused."

Joe slapped a large hand on Jon's shoulder. "Sleep on it, man. Just sleep on it. Don't be hasty."

From their spot in the restaurant, the family of three could hear someone yelling in the back room. They heard hands smacking the table. Devin's eyes grew wide. Tayler reached across the table and grasped his hands. "It's okay, hon. Everything's okay."

"B-b-but…" he stuttered.

Colton threw his arm around his brother's shoulders. "It's all cool, dude. It's someone else."

"B-b-but he's mad." he continued to stutter.

"People can be mad and not be violent. It's okay to express anger. We've talked about that." Tayler said softly. Realizing that Devin was shaking too hard to possibly eat his dinner, she signaled the waitress and asked that their dinners be packaged to take out of the restaurant.

Ten minutes later, Colton held their dinners and Devin carried a bag of cheddar biscuits along with a drink carrier. "I am sorry I ruined our dinner." he whispered. Tayler squeezed his shoulders as they walked through the restaurant assuring him that he didn't ruin anything.

None of them saw the figure leaving the back room.
