A week later, after seeing Renee, Dean was starting to get better. He wasn't feeling sick anymore. The only thing Roman was concerned about was whether or not his omega might be pregnant. They were going to find out next month in the beginning of January.

Roman prayed that Dean wasn't pregnant. Sure, he wanted to be a father, wanted to have a family with Dean, but not like this. He didn't want their first pup to be made from rape. If Dean was pregnant, they would find a way to get through it. He knew that Dean would remember what happened eventually, and he hoped that he would be able to forgive him.

He couldn't even forgive himself for what he had done. He spent most of the week moping and feeling ashamed of himself. He would always try though to seem happy, because he knew it would hurt Dean to him like this.

A couple of days before Christmas, Finn and Seth came to visit him. There were no decorations in the house, except a small tree, that Seth had got for him. There were a few ornaments on it, a ribbon wrapped around it, and a star on top.

The two of them had just came back from taking Dean to see the Christmas musical, A Christmas Carol. Roman didn't go with them. Dean enjoyed the show, even tried to sing along to the songs. Finn would have enjoyed it too, but he was too busy trying to keep Seth awake, who kept falling asleep, and was snoring throughout the show.

"I am never taking you to see a musical again. People kept staring back at us because you were snoring." Finn said.

"Good. I never cared for musicals anyway. They are so boring. I don't know why you insist on seeing A Christmas Carol every single year." Seth complained.

"Because its a classic. I go see it every year. Dean enjoyed it, he loved it. He was even singing along to the songs."

"Yeah, that's because he's still in his pup state. Lets take him to see it when he's back to normal. I bet you he won't enjoy it then." Seth said. He finally looked over at Roman, who had Dean snuggled up in his arms. "And you!"

"What?" Roman asked, confused.

"You didn't even come with us! You're too busy here, feeling sorry for yourself, and being all depressed."

"How do you think you would feel if you were in my shoes?"

"Well, I would feel the same way that you're feeling now, but I would at least try to be happy. Christmas is in two days, and this place is looking very gloomy now."

"Seth, I-"

"Don't 'Seth' me, Roman. Come on, now. Dean has already forgiven you."

"That's because he's in his pup state. When he's back to normal he'll remember everything, and he'll leave."

"Ugh! I give up!" Seth slouched back in the chair he was sitting in, sighing. "You're hopeless."

"Um, Seth, honey. Let me talk to him." Finn said. "Listen, Roman. Seth is right. You can't keep going on like this. We care about you, and we don't like seeing you do this to yourself. Neither does Dean."

"Okay, I'll try to get better. But I can't make any promises."

"Good. One more thing. Since you aren't doing anything Christmas, well, I got us tickets to the carnival that's in town on that night."

"Really?"

"WHAT?!" Seth shrieked.

"Yes. I did promise Seth that I would take him on vacation this year, to get away from the cold, but I figured that this would be even better."

"Hmm, a going to a carnival on Christmas day? What do you think, Dean? Does that sound fun?"

"Mm!"

Seth sat up. "But Finn…You know how much I hate carnivals…"

00000000000000000000000000000

Christmas had arrived, and the four of them had arrived at the carnival. Right now, they were currently looking for a parking spot. Seth was sulking in the passenger seat, while Finn was driving. Dean was looking out the window, looking amazed by the all the pretty lights.

Finn finally found a parking space. Him, Seth, and Roman got out, while Dean stayed inside, too afraid to come out. There were too many people around them, and he was scared of them.

"Don't be afraid, Dean. None of these people are going to hurt you."

"No…don wanna come out…" He whimpered.

"Come on, baby. I promise no one will hurt you. I'm right here." He gently persuaded him out of the car. He wrapped the fluffy blanket around him, and handed Moxley to him. He asked Finn to give him one of the warm bottles of milk they had brought. He gave it to Dean. The omega could now hold onto the bottle by himself, not needing any help. He was starting to improve a little.

A part of Roman hoped that Dean wouldn't remember, that they would teach him everything, and in time he would be back to his normal self. But another part of him didn't want him to be in this state. Wanted him to actually remember everything.

As they walked through the crowd, some people were staring at them, because of the way Dean was acting. Roman was carrying him, and the omega was hiding his face in the crook of his neck, seeking comfort and security from him.

"Its okay, Dean. Don't pay attention to them."

"Mmm…"

"Ugh, these people are annoying. Hey! What are you looking at!? You've never seen a teenage pup act like this before?!" Seth yelled at an nearby stranger, who was staring.

"Seth, baby. Calm down." Finn said, holding the omega's hand.

"You expect me to calm down when people won't stop looking at us? They're making poor Dean here nervous."

"Come on, lets not worry about all of them. Roman, hows he's doing?"

"He's doing okay. Seems to be coming out of his shell a little bit." He turned his head, so he could whisper into Dean's ear. "Dean, how are you doing?"

"Ro...look…"

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Whas tha?"

Roman turned to where Dean was pointing at. He was looking at the ponies that some young pups were riding. "Oh. Those are ponies, Dean."

"Onies?"

"Yes."

"I go on? Wanna ride a ony."

Roman laughed a little at how excited Dean was by the ponies. "Well, I would let you…but baby, you're much more bigger and older than those other pups. You can't ride on a pony."

The omega was saddened by this. He looked up at Roman with tear filled eyes. "But Ro…I wanna ride a ony!"

"I know, baby. Don't get upset, please." He petted his hair, kissing him on the forehead. "You may not be able to ride on a pony, but I know an even better ride."

"Mm?"

Roman motioned for the other two follow him, while he carried Dean over to the carriage ride. "We can go on this instead."

Dean pointed at the white horse, getting excited again. "Ony?"

"No, no. This is a horse, Dean."

"Orse?"

"Yes. You could say that they're like bigger ponies."

Finn and Seth came up behind the two. "Well, this should be fun." Finn smiled.

Seth froze in his tracks the minute he saw the horse. Finn pulled on his hand.

"Seth, baby. Come on."

"No. I'm not going anywhere near that creature."

"Why not? Its just a horse, Seth."

"Why don't you try getting kicked by horse. Went on a field trip to a barn in middle school. Had my back turned, and the horse kicked me. Right in my ass. It still hurts too. Ever since then, I don't go near horses."

"Fine, then. We won't on the carriage ride. What do you want to do?"

"Hmm…I have an idea. How about we go over to the bumper cars instead."

"Alright, we'll do that. But why the bumper cars, babe?"

Seth grabbed the collar of his alpha's shirt. "So I can kick your ass for bringing me here." He growled out.

"Oh, come on. Its not that bad."

"Yes it is. Carnivals are for poor people."

"That's not really true, babe…" Finn didn't get a chance to finish, for Seth started dragging him away from the ride, and over to the bumper cars.

Roman laughed, seeing the couple bicker back and forth at each other. He carried Dean over to the carriage ride. He gave the guy ten dollars for the both of them.

He held Dean in his lap the whole time while they were on the ride. The omega was happy. To be spending time with his alpha like this. The moment felt very romantic. Seeing Dean this happy, it made Roman smile. A real smile, not a fake one. He truly felt that everything was going good for them.

He wished that this moment could last forever between them. He loved Dean. He could hear him purring next to him. He would give anything to see Dean this happy all the time. He grabbed onto Dean's hand, rubbing his knuckles. The omega looked up at him. Both of them stared deep into each other's eyes, getting lost in each other. Roman wished at this moment he could kiss Dean, actually kiss him. They hadn't really kissed since Dean blacked out weeks ago.

When the ride was over, they both got out. They both had a good time during the ride. Dean had a big smile on his face. "Ro…ride was fun!" He said excitedly.

"I know, baby boy. It was." Roman said, smiling back at him. "Come on, lets go find Seth and Finn.

0000000000000000000000000

Finn yelped, when he felt Seth's car bump into him again. "Seth! Baby! Calm down!"

"I'll calm down once I get some alcohol!"

"Baby, please…lets talk this over…"

"Oh, we'll talk alright!" Seth said, shaking his fist at Finn. He drove the car into Finn's again.

"Ah! Seth!"

"That's for bringing me here!" He did it again. "And thats for almost taking me on the carriage ride!" Another car got in the way of his. He started screaming out profanities at the other person. "Hey! Get the fuck out of my way! I have to kick my mate's ass!"

"SETH! Language, sweetheart! There are children here!"

Seth rammed his car into his again, once the other person was finally out of the way. Outside waiting for them, was Dean and Roman, who could hear the two yelling at each. "AND THATS FOR NOT BUYING ME THE RING I WANTED!"

Finn winced. "Baby, the ring you got on your finger is good enough…Ah!" Seth didn't let him finish. He took the ring off of his finger, and threw it at Finn's head.

"THAT!? THAT THING IS A FUCKING PEBBLE! I WANTED A HUGE DIAMOND! YOU'RE THE WORST MATE EVER!"

"You don't mean that honey…you're just angry right now. Is my omega ovulating?"

"OVULATING!? I'LL SHOW YOU OVULATING, YOU BASTARD!"

"SETH BABY, PLEASE!"

"YOU DON'T EVEN TREAT ME RIGHT!"

Their arguing continued until the ride was over. Once they were off, and headed over to Roman and Dean, Seth had calmed down, though he was still seething a bit. He was not in a good mood, and needed something to drink.

"Listen, baby. I'm sorry. Okay? I'll buy you that diamond as a late Christmas present to make you happy, alright?"

"Whatever. We need to find a bar. I need to at least find something I like at this carnival."

"Okay, honey."

"Spoiled…" Roman whispered, so that Seth wouldn't hear him. He followed the two of them, carrying Dean in his arms who wasn't even paying attention to the couple. He was too busy looking at everything around him.

They made it to the bar. Finn suggested dancing, and doing some karaoke, which Seth turned down. Finn had finally had enough.

"You want to be a grinch this year, Seth? Fine. Go ahead. But I'm not going to let you ruin Christmas for me."

"You think I'm ruining Christmas? My Christmas is already ruined." He turned to the bartender. "I need the strongest drink you have. Roman, you want anything?"

"Hmm…there was something that I wanted to do."

"And whats that?"

"Remember what I did for Dean the first time I took him to a carnival?"

"Yes, I remember. You're going to win…"

"Shh…don't spoil it. Here, take him." He handed Dean over to Seth, who almost fell off his seat.

Dean started started whimpering, and making a fuss, once he was out of Roman's arms. He struggled to get out of Seth's grasp. "No! No, no…Ro…don go!" He cried out.

"I'll be back, baby boy. I won't be gone long, okay? Be good for Seth, and Finn."

He kissed Dean on the top of his head. Soon he left the bar, to try and go find a game so he could win a prize for Dean.

"RO!"

"Dean! Its okay. He'll be back soon." Seth tried to comfort the crying omega.

"Whats wrong with him?" Finn asked.

"Roman's left."

"Why?"

"He wants to surprise, Dean."

"Do you want to hold onto him?"

"No way! You're dancing! It won't be safe for him to be dancing with you!"

"Well, at least let me give him some pup milk…" Finn said, searching through the bag they had for the pup milk. "Oh no…"

"What is it?"

"We have no more pup milk!"

"WHAT!? How are we supposed to keep him from crying!"

"I don't know!"

"Hey!" The bartender yelled. "What is going on here?"

"Oh! I just had an idea!" Seth turned to the bartender. "Hey, could you make a chocolate milkshake for him?"

"Who? Him?"

"Yes! Our pup here! Could you make one for him?"

The bartender gave Seth a weird look before making the milkshake for Dean.

"And give me another glass of vodka! Make it strong too!"

00000000000000000000000000

Roman searched around the carnival grounds for a game that was similar to the one he had played many years ago. He almost given up, when he finally one that looked like it could be the same one.

He walked over it. "Excuse me, sir."

The guy who was working there looked up. "Ah, my first customer tonight. I hope."

"I would like to play your game, please."

"Of course. Hand me five dollars."

Roman handed him the money. The guy hand him twelve darts. He told him that he had to hit six targets. Roman remembered that the targets moved very fast.

He missed the first couple of times. On his third try, he finally hit a target. He hit four more after. He missed after though, due to overconfidence like before.

And like before, the guy started talking to him. "Are you doing this for yourself or for someone special."

"Someone special." He threw another dart and missed again. "Shit."

The guy chuckled. "You know, I remember a young pup. He was just like you. He was trying to win a prize for his mate also."

"Did he win?" Roman asked. He had missed four times in a row now.

"Yes, he did. I wonder what ever happened to that pup…"

Roman stared down at the dart in his hand. He really wanted to win Dean another prize from the carnival. 'I'm doing this for Dean. To make him happy.'

He threw the dart, hoping it would hit the target. Luckily, it did. 'Yes! I did it!'

"Congratulations. Looks like you've won. Here's your prize." He handed Roman a stuffed snow leopard. Just like Moxley, it also had a red ribbon tied to it.

Roman smiled, and looked back up at the guy. "My mate will love this. He'll be so happy."

"Well, you better get back to him then. I'm sure he's waiting for you."

"Alright. Oh, there's something I have to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I was that pup from many years ago."

The guy looked at him with a surprised look on his face. Roman just gave him a small smile and then turned to leave.

The guy sighed to himself. "A small world we live in."

0000000000000000000

Seth was beyond pissed. He held Dean, who was still crying for Roman. Just a little while ago, the omega was feeling sick. He drank the milkshake too fast, and ended up throwing up on Seth. Finn went to go buy a sweater for him to wear. He hated it. It was too big on him, and he thought it was ugly. He was having the worst night in his life.

He groaned, feeling a headache coming on. "Another drink, please."

The bartender looked at him as if he was crazy. "Sir, I think you have had enough for tonight."

"I said another, please."

"Listen, you are clearly out of…"

Seth yanked the guy down, so they were face to face. "You listen to me. This is the worst Christmas, EVER. The pup just threw up on me, he won't stop crying, my mate hasn't gotten me my diamond ring, and I'm stuck here at a carnival. So get me another drink. Now."

He growled, scaring the bartender.

"Y-yes…s-sir…" He went to go make him another drink.

"Mmm…Ro…" Dean whimpered.

"Hmm? Are you okay, Dean?" Seth looked down at the sad pup.

"Ro…gone…Ro hate me…"

"What? Dean, no. Roman doesn't hate you."

"Nope. I would never hate him."

Dean heard Roman's voice behind him. Both him and Seth turned around to see him.

"Ro!" Dean got out of Seth's arms, jumping straight into Roman's. "Ro…"

"Are you okay, Dean?"

"Ro gone…I mis Ro…was sad…" He said, as he sobbed into his chest.

Roman lifted his chin up, so could look at him. "I would never leave you, Dean. You're my mate. I'll always be here for you. Forever."

"For…eva…" Dean smiled.

"I got something for you." He showed Dean the snow leopard he won for him.

"For me…?"

"Yes. Its for you, Dean."

Dean took the leopard from him. He hugged it close to him. "Mox…has fren now…"

"He does, yeah. What are you going to name the leopard, baby boy?"

"Bela."

"Bella?"

"Mm."

"Thats a good name for her." He looked up at Seth. "Was he good?"

"Yeah, he was. He did throw up on me though."

"He got sick?" Roman looked down at his mate. "Are you sure you're okay, baby?" He asked, while rubbing his belly.

"I'm okay…" Dean said.

"Well, if you say so."

"He was crying and whining for you the whole time you were gone. Gave me a bit of a headache." Seth said.

Finn came up to them. "You're not mad at him, are you Seth?"

"No, I'm not mad at him. Just not having a good Christmas."

Dean turned around, upset that he gave Seth a lot of trouble. "I'm sorry…Unca Sefie…"

"Its fine, Dean don-" When he heard what Dean had said, he stared at him, surprised. "Did you say my name?"

"Mm."

Seth's eyes welled up with tears. "Dean…I thought you never would learn how to say my name." He came up to the omega and hugged him. "Its the best Christmas present I could get. Hearing you say my name for the first time. Uncle Sethie loves you, Dean." He kissed his cheek.

"Sefie..." Dean smiled at him.

Finn came up behind Seth, wrapping his arms around him. "Baby, are you good now?"

"Yeah, I'm good. I feel better now." Seth said, leaning into his alpha's touch.

"Good." Finn gave him a kiss on the lips.

Dean went back over to Roman. His alpha wrapped his arms around him, holding him close. "Dean, can I kiss you?"

"Mm."

Roman leaned down, closing the gap between the both of them. He stroked Dean's cheek, while the omega tangled both of his hands in his hair. When they broke apart, they both gazed into each other's eyes.

"I love you, Dean."

"Ro…I…I…"

"Its okay. You don't need to say it. I know that you love me."

But he wanted to. He wanted to say those three words to him. He just had to try. "Ro…man…I lo…I love you…"

"Dean…"

"I love you, Roman."

"I'm so proud of you, Dean."

Dean nuzzled his face into his chest. He closed his eyes, not wanting this moment to end. He felt safe and warm, in his alpha's arms.

000000000000000000000

The young pup shivered, rubbing his arms. Him, and his mate were outside near a frozen lake. The pup would rather be inside where it was warm, but his mate wanted to go ice skating.

"Come on, Dean!" Roman called out to him. He was already out on the ice.

Dean shook his head. "No, I don't want to."

"Don't be so scared!"

"I'm not scared! It…it just doesn't look safe…what if it cracks?"

Roman came over to him. "It won't crack, Dean. Here." He held out his hand to him. "Take my hand."

Dean slowly reached out his hand towards his, grabbing onto it. Roman helped him onto the ice, careful to try not to let him fall.

"Please don't me fall, Roman. I don't want to get hurt."

"I promise that I won't let you fall. You can trust me, Dean."

He slowly moved with Dean on the ice. Roman told the young pup to think of it as dancing. After a while of ice skating, they both fell in the snow.

"See? Was that so bad?"

"I was scared that I would fall, that it would crack. But you made me not so scared of it anymore."

"Do you want to try it again?"

"Sure. But some other time. Can we go warm up, please?"

Roman chuckled a bit. "Yes, we may." He grabbed onto Dean's hand, leading the way back to his place. He knew that his mama had warm hot chocolate.

0000000000000000000000000

Dean slowly opened his eyes. He heard voices talking. He noticed that a pair of arms was wrapped around him. He could sense that it was Roman that was holding him. He tensed a bit, feeling uneasy. "Roman…let me go…"

Roman heard Dean's voice. It sounded as if…no, it couldn't be. He wasn't. "Dean?"

"Let me go. Now."

Roman looked down at him. The omega was giving him a cold look. "Dean…I…I can't…"

"I said let go!" Dean struggled out of his grasp, finally getting away. "Stay away. Don't touch me."

"Whats going on?" Seth asked.

"Dean's back to normal again." Roman said.

"He is? Oh no…Dean wait…"

"Don't, Seth. Leave me alone." Dean warned him. He turned around heading outside.

Roman took off after him, grabbing him by his arm. "Dean, please. Don't go."

"Why should I stay, Roman? So you can hurt me again?"

"I promise that it won't happen again!"

"And you promised that you wouldn't hurt me, but you did!"

"Dean, I'm sorry. I never meant to get out of control like that. Please, forgive me."

"Just let me go, Roman. I'll scream if you don't."

"No, you won't!" Seth grabbed Dean from behind. "You're not going anywhere, Dean."

"Let go of me, Seth!"

"Not until you listen to me!"

"Seth, please."

"I need to talk to you, Dean. So will you just come with me, and talk for a moment?"

Despite wanting to run away, Dean decided that he would stay to talk to Seth. "Alright. Fine. We'll talk."

"Okay, come with me."

"Wait! Dean, before you go. I just want you to know that the only thing I want is your forgiveness. I don't want you to hate me. It hurts me so much, to know that I've hurt you. I feel ashamed. I regret hurting you. I hate myself, Dean." Roman said, looking down at the ground while tears fell down his cheeks. "Thats all I ask is for your forgiveness. Nothing else."

He turned around sitting down on a bench with Finn. He held his head in hands, crying. "I'm such a fuck up, Finn."

"No…Roman don't say that. You're not."

"I am though! I can't take back what I did to him. I don't deserve him, Finn. After what I did, I don't."

Finn wrapped an arm around Roman. "Its going to be okay. Just let it all out. You've been holding it in for too long, letting it eat away at you."

0000000000000000000000000000

"Sit down." Seth told Dean, motioning for him to sit on the bench with him. Dean sat down next to him.

"What do you want to tell me, Seth, that I haven't already heard before?"

"Dean, listen…Roman, he…he loves you and he wants to make up for what he has done."

"He can't it make better. The damage has already been done."

"At least give him a chance."

"I can't, Seth. I don't want to risk getting hurt again."

"But Roman won't hurt you again. He's going to keep his promise this time. I'll make sure of it. I'll kick his ass if he breaks it again."

"Seth…I can't stay…I'm sorry, but…I just can't."

Seth sighed. He knew there was no convincing him to stay anymore. "Fine. But please…don't leave just yet…We'll take you to an omega shelter after tonight. Okay?"

"Okay. I'll stay with you and Finn for tonight."

"Alright. Well, we should be heading back now. Just one more thing though."

"What?"

"I care about you too, Dean. I love you as if you were like a brother to me. If you go…well…I'll miss you too. I'll miss my younger brother." He gave Dean a short and sweet hug. "We'll all miss you. Especially Roman. You're the reason that he is still alive."

Dean turned to him, surprised. "Wait, how…?"

"I knew. I knew something was up with him last year, even though he never told me. I could see it in his eyes. He always had that sad look on his face. It broke my heart seeing him like that. And ever since you came back into his life…he is finally happy again. You're the reason that he breathes, that he lives for. If you hadn't came back into his life, he would surely be dead by now."

Dean remembered what Roman had told him. About him being suicidal. In some way, he had saved him too. Just by still being alive, for coming back into his life. Now, he was going to leave and his alpha would be devastated. He feared that Roman might take his own life if he left him.

"If I leave him now, he'll die then…"

"Yes. I don't want that to happen to him, and I know you don't want that either. Please, just talk to him. Okay?"

"I will. I'll talk to him. But I can't promise I'll stay though."

"Alright."

Both of them stood up, heading back over to Finn and Roman. By the time they got there, it seemed that Roman had finally calmed down.

"Did you two talk?" Finn asked.

"Yes, we did. Come on. We're going on the Ferris wheel."

"Okay. Does that sound good, Roman?" Finn asked.

"Yeah…Dean?"

The omega nodded his head, unsure of what to say. The four of them headed over to the Ferris wheel. Roman and Dean got on first. Seth and Finn got on the next gondola.

Once they were inside it, Finn pulled out a bottle of wine smirking at Seth.

"You know we're not supposed to be drinking that on the ride, right?" Seth told him.

"I know. But I wanted to make it up to you for tonight. I'm sorry, honey."

"Its okay. Hey, Finn. Do you still have the ring?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Put it back on my finger."

"I thought you didn't want it anymore." Finn said, laughing.

"I was upset. I didn't mean it. Besides thats the ring you gave to me at our bonding ceremony."

"I know." Finn said, as he slid the ring back onto Seth's finger. He kissed his hand, earning a blush from the omega.

"Y-you still owe me a huge diamond ring though."

"Don't worry, you'll get it."

00000000000000000000000

Dean sat on the other side of the gondola, looking anything but Roman. He couldn't bring himself to look at him.

Roman reached out his hand, placing it on top of Dean's. "Dean…talk to me. Please."

"I…I don't know what to say…"

"Yes, you do know. Come on, Dean. Tell me whats on your mind."

Dean let out a long breath he had been holding. He choked back a sob. "I…I'm scared, Roman…"

"Of?"

"Of getting hurt again. I'm afraid that you'll hurt me again. I trusted you. But now…I don't know if I can…"

"Dean, I'm not like them. If I was I wouldn't be trying to fix this. I want to make it all better. Just please, give me another chance."

"I don't know if I can do that…Roman…I forgive you. I know you didn't mean to hurt me, but I don't know if I can stay here anymore…"

"Dean." Roman scooted up more closer to him, so that they were sitting next to each other. "You are my life, my soul, my heart…my forever…without you I would be lost…I would die…I know that you would feel the same way."

"Roman…"

"I love you."

"I…I don't love you anymore…"

"No." Roman lifted his face up, so that he could look him in the eyes. "Thats not true."

"It is!" Dean said, pulling away.

"Your love for someone doesn't go away as quick as that. Dean, I want you to look me in the eyes, and tell me that you don't love me." He placed his hand on top of his chest, feeling heart beating. "Look me in the eyes when you say it, then I'll believe you. I'll finally be able to let you go."

Dean took a deep breath, trying as best as he could to look Roman in the eyes. "I…I…" The words wouldn't come out. He found that he couldn't say them. The grey orbs pierced right into his soul. He knew better. He couldn't deny it anymore.

"Dean?"

He finally broke down, closing his eyes and letting the tears fall. He grabbed onto Roman, burying his face in his chest. "I love you! I love you so much! I can't keep lying to myself…I love you Roman!"

Roman held him as his sobs wracked him. "Dean, baby…Its okay."

"No, its not! Its not okay…I'm sorry, Roman, I'm so sorry!" He let out another sob. "I never meant to make you feel that way. Please forgive me. I promise I'll stay."

"You don't have to…"

"I want to…Roman, I've realized that if I leave I would feel the same way that you've felt. I can't be without you. I need you in my life."

Roman lifted his face up, kissing away his tears. "You don't need to be sorry. All I wanted was for you to forgive me…but now, you have decided to stay. I hoped that you would even though I kept thinking that you wouldn't. Thank you, Dean. You have made this Christmas better for me." He brought his lips to his, kissing him passionately. "I love you. And I won't break my promise to you ever again."

"I love you too, Roman." Dean whispered. He closed his eyes, kissing his alpha again. "My forever…"

Inside the other gondola, Seth noticed that Dean and Roman were kissing each other. "Hey, Finn. Look."

Finn looked up, seeing the other two holding onto one another. They seemed very happy. The alpha smiled.

"So…do you think he is staying?" Seth asked.
