Chapter 26

Roman walked into the bedroom, and seen Dean is still sleeping. As he watched him sleep, he wondered how Seth and he can got so lucky. He could see the bump more as Dean laid on his back. He looked so cute with his messy curly hair, mouth open and a little snore coming from him.

Then he remembered what Dean told him last night. That William is trying to blackmail Dean back, and he hurt Seth. Why would Dean think it was his fault? Dean told them several times he doesn't want nothing to do with them. Especially William. But how are they going to prove that William was behind of what happened to Seth? Just because he said it, doesn't mean he'll be charged for what he did. Dean belongs to him and Seth now. They are going to be a family. He needs to do something.

"Hey, are you going to bring that over, or am I have to pounce on you to get it?" Dean asked sleepily. "I'm hungry." Dean continued with laugh.

"I bet you are. And sorry, I was thinking." Roman replied as he set the tray down in front of Dean. And Dean just dug in.

"About what?" Dean asked as he put a mouthful of scrambled eggs in his mouth. Roman looked at him and had to laugh. Seeing Dean's cheeks full of eggs, he looked adorable. He just wanted to kiss him. But he knew if he did, he would start something he wouldn't be able to finish…and he wanted to see Seth, then to work.

"About you…us." Roman said to him.

"I was thinking about decorating the nursery, the ceremony, a new bed, and…" Roman was saying until Dean interrupted him.

"A new bed?" Dean asked.

"Yes, a new bed. It might be fine now, but later when all three of us are in it, going to get a little crowded." Roman said with a smile.

"I mean, sleeping isn't going to be the only thing we'll be doing in it." He continued to say. Then a huge smile spread across his face.

Dean just blushed. Roman leaned in and kissed Dean on the lips.

"How much I want to take you right now, but can't. Like to see Seth before we get to work." Roman said as he got up.

"Oh, I was going to tell you last night. Stephanie is giving us the rest of the week off. To spend it with Seth." Dean told him.

"She did?" Roman said.

"Yeah." Dean replied back.

"Well, that's great! We can plan the ceremony with Seth, go grocery shopping, baby shopping…oh, yeah, and look for beds." Roman said as he left the room.

Dean just watched Roman leave. Then he ate his breakfast. He wanted to hurry, so he can go see Seth. Then his phone buzzed. Dean just stopped and looked at it. He let out a squeal when he saw who it was. He answered it. It was someone from his past. Just like Stephanie, this woman was there for him. He had to invite her to the ceremony.

"Hi Rena! So happy you got my message. Yes, of course you are going to be invited! I couldn't and wouldn't leave you out. I don't care if you don't have a date. You are beautiful, maybe you might meet someone there?" Dean said to her. They talked some more and hung up. He should see if he could invite her to Stephanie's party on Saturday.

Dean looked up and seen Roman standing there.

"Oh, sorry. It was on old friend. She worked at the shelter I was at. She didn't judge me, criticize me, be-little me…like some others did. Even when they had a problem of theft there. Everyone thought it was me, but she didn't. She stood by me." Dean explained. "And maybe meet her?" Dean asked.

"No need to explain." Roman said as he sat down on the bed and put his arm around Dean. "And Seth and I would love to meet her. We love the meet the person who helped you be the person you are now. Now go take a shower while I clean the dishes. Phil is here to take us to the hospital. When you come down, we'll leave. Okay?" Roman said. Dean just nodded.

Roman got up from the bed, and grabbed the tray. He seen is having trouble getting up, so Roman helped him get up from the bed.

Dean finally got up and waddled to the bathroom. Roman chuckled as he watched Dean go in and closed the door. Then he left and went downstairs.

Phil looked up as Roman is walking into the kitchen.

"This is really good. Thanks for making it for me." Phil said with a full mouth.

Roman is having a great day. Phil turned out to be a great friend to Dean. He knew Dean needed a male friend outside work. And even more happy that he is straight. He would have been jealous if Phil was gay. Phil is nice looking man. Dark, thick hair which he kept short. With long sideburns, and in pretty good shape. Phil had that rugged good look about him.

"Oh, I have great news for Dean when he comes down." Phil said to Roman.

"What is it?" Roman asked.

"Well, it's good and bad. Good because we did locate Steve and Kyle. They went back to New York. And since we didn't really have any legal proof that they attacked Dean, we can't get them back here. But soon as we do, we're extraditing them back here." Phil said. "But bad, because we need to know and find out if this guy is going to go after Dean and you? So you are all stuck with me now." Phil told Roman.

"You have to protect us to now?" Roman asked.

"Yep." Phil replied. Then he smiled.

"I don't care about me. Just Seth and Dean I do." Roman said back.

"Well, it's not your call. It's Stephanie's. And she's hired me to watch all three of you guys. Hope that won't be a problem." Phil said to Roman.

"No. Dean likes and trusts you, as well Seth and I do to." Roman said. "And Dean doesn't trusts many people." Roman continued to say to Phil. "I know Dean has problems trusting people. Yes, I know about Dean's past. What he used to do. I looked it up, and plus he told me. I don't care about that. That's in the past. Guess you and Seth helped him trust more outside his circle of small friends at the office." Phil went on explaining.

"Really? He said that about us?" Roman said surprisingly.

"Yeah. He told me he really couldn't trust anyone. One time he did, they went to Randy and William and told them that he was going to leave. He had everything planned out. They caught him, and well, just say he was in the hospital for two weeks what they say was a "motorcycle" accident. But his friends at the office knew what really happened. But what those two didn't know, was Stephanie was there to help him leave. And since the accident, she's been keeping an eyes on Dean very closely." Phil said to Roman.

"But when he met you and Seth, that all changed. You trusted him, you let him say what he thinks, you let him help out on deals at the office…you opened him up." Phil continued to say more.

"He loves you and Seth more than anything in the world." Phil said softly.

Before Roman could respond what Phil said, Dean came into the kitchen.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Yes. Let's go see Seth." Roman said. Then kissed Dean on the cheek.

As Dean walked past the mirror by the front door, he noticed for the first time how he looked. He didn't check when he was getting dressed, because he was so excited to leave and see Seth. Now, he did have a chance, and he looked so frumpy. His regular clothes didn't fit, so he had to put on sweatpants and one of Roman's t-shirts. It looked so huge on him. He wanted to look nice for Roman and Seth.

He came out of the house slowly and walked towards the car. Roman opened the back car door for him, and Dean slid right in. He buckled himself up.

Roman and Phil got into the front. Phil started the car and drove to the hospital.

On the way there, Dean just stared out the window. Watching everything pass him by.

"Dean, even though your step-dad and his friend are no longer here, there is another problem. Finding out who did this to Seth, and make sure it doesn't happen to you and Roman here. So I'll be staying with you at the house. No more staying at your apartment. We'll all go there to finish your packing, but you two are not to go there alone. Got it?" Phil told them.

Roman and Dean just sat there.

"I SAID…YOU GOT IT!" Phil yelled.

Roman and Dean sat up and said yes. Phil just smiled and he drove to the hospital. He wouldn't let anything happen to none of them.

Phil finally found a parking spot and parked. Roman seen how sad Dean is. He pulled Dean to him and wrapped his arms around his neck.

"What's wrong baby boy?" Roman asked. Dean looked down at the ground.

"I look horrible. I didn't realize how ugly I look." Dean sniffed. He was trying to hold it in. Roman softly laughed.

"Hey, it doesn't matter if you wear designer clothes, or rags, you will always look good to us. And you're pregnant. Of course your clothes are not going to fit. After we see Seth, we'll go and get you some new clothes. Sound good?" Roman said.

"Yes." Dean said softly. "I love you Roman." Dean whispered.

"I love you to baby boy." Roman said back. Then kissed him again. "Now let's go see pup and how he's doing." Roman said.

They all went the door and went into the hospital and up to Seth's room. They've seen a police officer standing by his door. Phil showed him his badge, and said they were there to see Seth. He let them all in. They could hear Seth grumble.

Roman laughed. The only time Seth ever grumbled like that is when he can't get his own way.

"Hey pup. How's it going?" Roman asked.

Seth lit up like a Christmas tree when he saw Dean and Roman. Then he seen Phil. He thought he heard Dean's step-dad left San Francisco. Why is he still here?

Before Seth could ask, Phil explained. "There is still a danger out there. Yes, Dean's step-dad is gone, but there's the person who ran you over. And to make sure that none of you get hurt, Stephanie kept me on. But this time, to watch all of you." Phil explained to Seth.

"And that is one thing we want to talk to you about. We think William Regal and Randy Orton hired someone to run you over." Roman said. "Mostly William though. He threatened Dean, and basically told him that he was responsible. But trying to prove it. That will be a whole different thing. You know he's going to deny it…" Roman was saying. But before he could say anything else, Dean said something.

"I'm sorry Seth. This is my fault. William warned me if I didn't go back to him, he would do something. Then this happened to you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Dean said.

"Dean…Dean…DEAN!" Seth yelled. Roman, Dean and Phil looked at Seth.

"It's not your fault. They are jealous we have the most wonderful person in our life now. They had you, but they mistreated you. They don't know how to love, and care for someone special. And you are special Dean. Roman and I love you." Seth told Dean.

Dean looked down, then up. He had tears in eyes.

"There's something else I need to tell you." Dean said them.

"Well, I'll leave." Phil said.

"No, you need to know. I want to report it to you…the police. Not only did William tell me, but he said he would…" Dean stopped. He is embarrassed by what he did and what he's going to say to them. Stephanie told him to tell them. Even Phil.

"Go on baby boy." Roman whispered.

"William has pictures and movies of me." Dean explained. "Yes, we know. I told him to bring them to me." Roman said to Dean. "Yes, he did give you most of them, but not all. He kept some, not many, but some. And he said he would plaster them on certain websites, and show some of the homemade movies we…he did." Dean managed to get out. "Some are worse than the others. He had me do things...when he found out about my past, he made me do some of those…those…things. I can't let those get out…" Dean said. Roman just pulled Dean to him and held him.

"I'm going to kill him." Seth gritted through his teeth. "Lalalala. I didn't hear that." Phil said. Then he put his fingers in his ears, and walked away. "I like him." Seth said

Then Seth pulled Dean's hand to turn him around. Making him look at him. "Hey, again. It's not your fault. Stop making it's your fault. He's just crazy." Seth told Dean. Then gave him a kiss. Dean leaned into the kiss, then Seth broke it. "Sorry baby boy. If I continued, I might not stop, and this is not the most private places." Seth said with a laugh. Dean pouted. Everyone laughed. Dean, Roman and Phil stayed a little longer until the nurse came in and kicked him out saying he needs his rest.

They all left.

"What do you want to do?" Roman asked. "Lunch." Dean said out loud. "When aren't you hungry?" Phil asked. "Since breakfast." Dean laughed.

They all laughed. It felt good to Dean to laugh, to actually laugh. Tomorrow Seth gets out, and two more days until the party on Saturday. And they still need to get a present for Paul's and Stephanie's daughter, Aurora Rose. But what could they get a six-year old girl?

Roman saw the twinkle in Dean's eyes while they were looking at toys for Aurora. Roman just stood there watching Dean smiling. But they'll have to wait when Seth gets out of the hospital to look for anything for the babies. Dean's orders. He wants all three to have a say. Not just him. Roman is glad on that. They are truly becoming a family. A family he and Seth have been waiting to have. Until then, they'll have to start fixing up one of the rooms into a nursery. They could get someone to do it. But who? Since him and Seth moved here, they really don't know anyone outside of work.

They finally came out of the store with one of the gifts for Aurora. Dean knew exactly what he was looking for when they went in. It was a turtle that played music and lit up the ceiling with stars.

Phil is off to the side watching them…watching Dean smiling and laughing while he dials Stephanie's number. He has to tell Stephanie about the pictures and videos Dean told him, Roman and Seth about. She'll need to know about them. And if he knows Stephanie and how she feels about Dean, she's going to be furious with William. But he knows she has something planned. But he also knows from her reputation, not to ask. So he's not.

"Thank-you Phil for letting me know." Stephanie said to him. Then she hung up. Normally Stephanie would be upset, but instead she is smiling. Then she got out her black book and called the number again. She told him about the pictures and videos, and how she wanted him to send it to her.

"Are you sure?" The voice said. Confirming what she said. "Yes." Stephanie stated. "You got it." The voice said. Then they hung up. A smile crept on Stephanie's face. William wants to play dirty, Stephanie can to. She learned from the best…her father. And her husband is becoming just as ruthless. So she is learning new ways from him. Her father is more old school, while Paul is new. She now knows which is better depending on the situation. This problem…is more old school. William likes technology, so what better way to get even is to take that part away from him. She got up. She had to leave to meet her mother to plan the final touches on her daughter's birthday party.

After a two hours at the tailors, Dean is getting tired.

"Roman, can we go home. I want to take a nap." Dean said sleepily.

"Well, since we are close to your apartment, we can go there. You can lay down and if you don't mind…Phil and I can pack more of your stuff. Sound good?" Roman asked Dean.

"That does sound good." Dean agreed.

So they went to Dean's apartment. Dean took off his shoes, and laid down. Roman and Phil looked around at the packing boxes and bubble wrap.

"Well, where do you want to start?" Phil asked.

"Let's start in the kitchen. It's away from his bedroom the farthest. This way he can't hear us as much." Roman suggested.

Phil and Roman walked over there and started packing.

After a couple of hours, Dean came out of his bedroom and headed towards the kitchen where he hears the noise. He saw Roman and Phil laughing and talking while wrapping his dishes.

Phil looked up and seen Dean.

"Hey, sleepy head. Did you have a good nap?" Phil asked.

Roman looked up and seen Dean rub his eyes. Dean looked so tired. He never noticed it until now. Maybe on Sunday, they will all stay in and just relax around the house. They can do decide which room or rooms to pick for the nursery, what colors, who to get to decorate the nursery…so many things they can do from the house. And Dean can relax and sleep.

"Yes, but still so tired and can't get comfortable sleeping. All I can do is sleep on my back." Dean pouted.

"Maybe you can talk to Stephanie. She could have some ideas what you can do." Roman suggested. "Maybe Saturday you can go over early, help set up and you can ask her." Roman continued.

"That does sound good. Thanks Roman." Dean said back. "Where is my phone?" Dean asked.

"Here use mine." Roman said as he handed him his phone.

Dean called Stephanie.

"Hi Stephanie, its Dean. He's letting me use his phone. We're at my apartment. Figured be a good time to pack more of my things. I took a nap, while Phil and Roman packed more of my stuff. Well, that is why I'm calling. Could I come over early on Saturday? Roman mentioned you might have some ideas and advice you can give me about the pregnancy. Since you went thru it and you are again now…I need all the help I can get. I can? Thank-you Stephanie! I appreciate it!" Dean exclaimed. Then Dean hung up the phone.

"She said that would be fine. She's sending a car for me Saturday morning around 10am." Dean said. "What do you mean she's going thru it again? Is she pregnant?" Roman asked. "Yes, but don't say anything. She's going to announce it at the party. She's going to tell Aurora early, then announce later." Dean told them.

"A six-year old keep a secret? That will be hard to do." Phil said. "Well, actually Aurora has kept secrets." Dean laughed. "Be surprised how many she actually knows. And Stephanie says she has a lot of things she can show me. There's even a pillow that will even help me sleep on my side." Dean said happily. "It's a big pillow." Dean frowned as he said it. "Hey, if it gives you sleep. I'm for it." Roman said. "Besides, we don't need to be in the bed to what I want to do to you." Roman whispered in Dean's ear.

Phil had an idea what Roman said. He saw Dean blush. Then Phil taped up the box. "There, the last box. Kitchen is all done." Phil said triumphtly. "By the way, what are you going to do with all your stuff? You already have most everything at your place Roman." Phil asked. "Well, probably go thru it and see if we could use some of this. I did see a few things that Dean has that we don't. So we could keep them, then the rest we can donate." Roman said. "Donate?" Phil said.

"Yes. Give it to some shelters, children's homes, hospitals…places that need it and can use it. Soup kitchens to. It is Dean's idea." Roman said happily. Dean just smiled. He knew those places could use new and semi-new appliances. He's seen and been to those places. He likes to help out as much as he can. They set the boxes to the side, and they left the apartment. It is getting closer to dinner time. They decided to go eat.

About 8pm, they finally made it home. Phil helped Roman get Dean into the house. Roman carried Dean in and up the stairs while Phil held the doors open for him.

Roman gently laid Dean on the bed. He and Phil left the room. "I'll get ready for bed in a minute. I want to show you to your room first. Then he led Phil to the room across from their room. The room where Dean stayed right before they left for New York. "Will this room be okay?" Roman asked. "Yeah, this is fine. This could take up about half of my apartment." Phil laughed. "And you do have your own private bathroom." Roman said as he opened the door to show him. "Wow!" Phil said loudly. Roman smiled. He's glad Phil liked the room. "Well, I better get Dean ready for bed. We have a big day tomorrow. If I know Dean, he'll want to start looking for baby stuff. And so will Seth." Roman laughed. Phil laughed to. Because he knows Roman is right. And neither could he. He would like to look also. He got ready for bed, and fell right to sleep.

Roman went into his bedroom and seen Dean still on top of the sheets. He went over and lifted Dean up to take off the t-shirt. He looked at the baby bump and felt so happy and proud. He lightly touched Dean's stomach and thought of the miracle he is carrying. He and Seth have thought of adopting or hiring a surrogate. But this is way better. Someone they love is carrying their babies. Then suddenly Roman felt something move in Dean's stomach. He felt one, at least one of the babies move. It sent a shockwave through his body. He smiled. He couldn't believe that he could experience a miracle like this. Dean woke up. "Hey, Ro." Dean said sleepily.

"Hey baby boy. I'm sorry if I woke you up. Just trying to get you ready for bed." Roman whispered. Dean just smiled. Roman had to hurry, Dean is about to fall asleep again.

Roman laid Dean back and took off his shoes, socks and pants. Roman is not going to bother with pajamas, nightshirts, or any kind of clothing. He's just going to leave Dean's boxers on, and he's going to wear his. He wants to feel Dean. He wants to feel the baby bump, Dean's chest, his bare legs…skin on skin. He wants to feel Dean bare on him.

Soon as he got Dean undressed, Roman undressed. He pulled down the sheets and maneuvered Dean under the sheets and Roman climbed along with him. He pulled up the sheets and pulled Dean closer to him. Dean felt so good next to him. He looked down and seen Dean is laying his head on his shoulder, and his arm draped over Roman's chest. His heart fluttered.

Dean felt the warmth of Roman as he pulled him to him. He smiled. He never felt anything like this. He then draped one of his legs over one of Roman's legs. He wanted to be as close to him as he can. He has everything…
