Seth watched from the front porch threw the screen door as Roman got on his knees and held his daughter close. Roman pressed the little girl against his chest as he placed kiss after kiss on the top of her head he loved her more than anything and it really showed. Seth loved children he always had and one day he wanted children of his own. He knew that a life with Roman might make that impossible unless they decided to adopt which he was sure the bigger man would agree with. The way he doted on his daughter made Seth feel confident that Roman would want more than one child. Seth heard Roman's voice waiver as he told his baby girl that he loved her and couldn't wait to see her. The little girl told Roman not to be sad and that she would call him everyday. He heard Roman laugh and his heart fluttered he loved this man more than he had ever loved anybody before. Seth could imagine a whole life planned out before them from buying a house, getting married, adopting babies, growing old together he wanted it. Then he thought about Dean they both agreed to tell him tonight once they had all checked into the hotel. Seth was nervous he hoped it would all work out. He was pulled from his thoughts by the sound of the screen door opening he looked up to see Roman stepping out on the porch. Seth waited until both doors clicked shut and they were almost to the rental car before he grabbed Roman and pulled him into an embrace. Roman wrapped his arms around Seth's waist and leaned forward to give lips a gentle peck.

"You ok?"

Roman nodded and then pulled away so he could load their suitcases into the trunk of the car. Both men piled into the car and started their drive to New York for Raw. Roman turned onto the highway before he reached over and tried to change the channel on the radio his hand was instantly swatted away by Seth. Roman looked at him with a confused look "No sir it's my turn we listened to your shit last time." Roman couldn't argue with that so he just laughed it felt good to laugh and soon laughter filled the car as the continued on their way.

Roman and Seth sat on the bed and the bigger man picked up on the nervous vibes that radiated off of his lover. Roman felt confident the only thing he was sure of was that Dean would probably be pissed at first. Roman knew Dean and how he worked he hated being lied to and played for a fool. It stemmed from his childhood and Roman totally understood deep down he knew they should've told him sooner it was just easier to keep it quiet. That had been the easy way out and they couldn't keep taking it. Roman reached for Seth's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze nothing needed to be said Seth seemed to calm down a little bit. Seth had practically begged Roman not to text Dean when they arrived but Roman assured him it was the right thing to do. So Roman sent the text asking Dean to meet them at the hotel room at six so they could talk. Dean of course was worried about his friends right away and wanted to come sooner but Roman told him it wasn't life threatening and that six would be ok. Seth looked over at the clock on the nightstand it read five fifty nine and he felt the butterflies fluttering. What if this secret cost them their friendship with Dean he wouldn't have been able to handle that and Seth knew it would devastate Roman.

As soon as the clock hit six the door to their hotel room clicked open and Dean came in. His things had been in the room when they both had arrived so they figured he had gone to the local bar and they were right his breath smelled of whiskey but he hadn't acted drunk. Dean closed the door and looked at his two best friends. He was concerned they both looked their puppy had gotten ran over. Dean crossed the room and sat in a small armchair he folded his hands and placed them in his lap the air was thick with tension and no one was sure who should speak first so Dean broke the silence.

"What is going on you guys? Is somebody hurt."

Seth shook his head but Roman did the talking. "No Dean sorry we didn't mean to worry you there is just something we have to get off our chest." Dean took a visible sigh of relief and then he stared at his two best friends then he saw them holding hands. That seemed a little weird to him. Roman spoke again his voice soft and unsteady. "Dean we wanted you here because we have something to tell you." Roman held up their hands and it clicked in Dean's mind the connection obvious on his face.

"How long."

"Since FCW." Seth answered the question this time but Roman took over. "We couldn't keep hiding it from you Dean we love each other a lot and we didn't want you to find out by walking in on us." Dean stood from his chair and started to pace around the room. He felt a stab in his heart he felt betrayed all this time and it was hidden right under his nose. They carried on making him a fool unaware of what was happening right next to him. Dean felt sick he wanted to yell but no words came out instead he lifted the chair over his head and threw it against the wall. It crashed hard and broke into pieces. Seth jumped a little and Roman stood letting go of the other's hand. He walked over to Dean and went to reach for him but his was met with a fist to the side of his head. Dean said nothing else as he stormed from the hotel room. Seth let out a strangled cry as he got of the bed and leaned down next to Roman and caressed his face. "Ro." Roman groaned as he sat up that was unexpected and it took him by surprise. Roman however was more worried about Seth. "How are you doing?" Seth let the tears fall freely Roman hushed him as he pulled Seth to his chest. "It's okay." Seth shook his head "that was worse than if had yelled or cursed us." Roman stroked Seth's back "I know but it will be okay baby it will."

"How Roman?"

"I don't know."

Seth felt very unsure what was in store now for any of them. Roman pulled him off the floor and forced him to lie in bed. Roman pulled him close and tried to help him relax so they could both sleep but it was no use Roman passed out but Seth lie awake deep in thought for most of the night.


Almost a week had passed by and Dean still hadn't come around. When he saw them in the back he would ignore them or leave the room before either man had a chance to talk to him. It weighed heavily on Roman, Seth could tell by how Roman acted. His whole demeanor changed he seemed more withdrawn like a part of him was missing. In the ring their matches started to get sloppy and they missed hits. They also missed cues when they cut their promos and a lot of the backroom had latched onto the fact that something wasn't not right between them. The three had been a tight knit group where one went they all followed now Dean was nowhere to be found. Whispers started floating around until one day it all boiled over. They were in the middle of a match and Roman was being held in a submission lock that threatened to break his arm. Seth had been knocked off the ropes and the whole world seemed to be waiting for Dean to save Roman but instead he jumped down from the mat and made his way up the ramp. Everyone was silent nobody knew what to say and the hold on Roman intensified until the ref had to break it before he got injured. Roman lied in the ring as the other team made their way to the back. His arm was hurt not badly but he would feel it. Roman felt pissed off Dean had taken it too far if he wanted to ignore them backstage fine but their livelihood he didn't mess with. Roman rolled out of the ring and stormed to the back ready to tear Dean apart.

Seth who had finally came too chased after Roman to make sure that he didn't do anything they would all regret. He called after Roman but it was in vain the other man had a fire to his step and nothing would stop him. They had almost made it to the locker room when they heard Hunter call their names and he sounded pissed. "SETH,ROMAN get our asses in here now!" With this the door slammed shut Seth gulped as he followed Roman to Hunter's office. As they opened the door they saw that Dean was already seated inside. They filed in and sat next to the blonde who had his arms crossed over his chest. Seth tried to speak but was cut off by Hunter " I don't give a damn what is going on between the three of you." He pointed between them "but whatever is better stop today. Pull your shit together and get it figured out because if that happens again you won't be here." With this hunter excused them and went back to his computer typing up whatever he had been working on.

The three stand up to leave and once they are in the hallway Dean grabbed Roman and stopped him before the taller man had the chance to walk away. Seth realized that Roman was longer next to him and looked behind to see the two men just standing there. Seth walked up to them and Dean looked at them Seth let out a sigh before he pulled the blonde in for a hug. Seth understood Dean without him having to say it. Roman also knew what the other man tried to convey so he wrapped himself in the hug as well. None of them really cared if anybody saw the moment was much needed. The three of them pulled away from the hug and all smiled at each other their friendship would take a little time to mend but they knew it would be okay. Dean's face changed to a serious look and he whispered to both of them "I just don't wanna catch you two screwing." Roman snorted and Seth rolled his eyes "you won't jesus man." Dean then told them he planned on getting his own room as a security measure and they laughed. The three of them decided to head back to the hotel and so that they could just watch movies and relax. Dean insisted that they get a pizza and Seth wanted to make it veggie so they bickered about the toppings to get. Roman walked behind them a smile on his face happiness filled him as he watched the man he love more than anything with his best friend in the whole world. Roman felt like an asshole for not telling Dean but it was behind them and he regretted that it took Hunter scolding them for them to solve their problems.

As Seth and Dean plopped on the bed Roman dialed room service and ordered two pizzas for them one with just meat and one filled with veggies. As they waited for the food to arrive Seth attempted to hook up the game system he had brought with him. Roman watched as Seth's nose scrunched up as he tried to figure out where he would be able to plug in the cord to the tv. The taller man felt himself become aroused at the thought of later on when he would have the other man to himself. He needed Seth like he needed air and he wanted to be with him all the time Roman wanted to be an official out in the open couple with Seth not just behind the scenes like they were. Roman had on several occasions thought about what it would be like to have a full time life with him. It made his heart flutter and his stomach turn Roman knew it would be wonderful everything he had dreamed of. Seth tossed the cord to Dean who took over trying to hook up the system as Seth reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. Seth answered it and excused himself letting them all know it was his girlfriend the door closed behind him.

Dean got the system hooked up and started within five minutes and he made a smart remark about beating Seth as he popped the game in. Roman answered the door and took the food from the service person he gave them a small tip as he looked into the hallway and saw Seth seated against the wall. Seth smiled at him and Roman closed the door as he crossed the room and sat the food down on a small table close to the bathroom. Dean inhaled and hurriedly crossed the room to get himself a slice. He started eating as Roman joined him on the floor with a plate of his own. They ate in silence until they heard Seth shout into his phone it was obvious that the conversation had turned into a fight. Roman wanted to go comfort his lover but with him still being on the phone Roman thought it would be best to stay and wait. They each finished off four pieces as they heard silence before the door opened up. Seth stormed inside and slammed the door behind him causing both of them to jump a little. Seth apologized as he sat down beside Roman and put his head on the other man's shoulder. Dean pretended to throw up a little and Seth flipped him the middle finger. Dean then grabbed Roman's trash and stood to throw it all away. While he was up he grabbed Seth a couple slices of his pizza and dumped it into his lap as he sat back down. "Thank you." Dean shook his head as Seth just stared at the food. Roman spoke up this time.

"Wanna talk about it."

"My girlfriend is jealous of you."

Roman nearly choked on the drink of water he had just taken a drink of. "Why." Both Dean and himself said it in unison.

"She is jealous I went home with you on our days off when she has been begging me for a couple months to go meet her sister and her boyfriend."

Roman started to rub circles in the middle of Seth's back as Dean tried to also help calm him as well.

"She kicked me out said I hadn't made her feel important." Dean without hesitation offered to let Seth stay with him for awhile until he had things with his girlfriend figured out. Seth thanked him again. Once Seth felt better they finished the pizza and played games until none of them were able to stop yawing. Dean planned on going and trying to get his own room but it was unlikely one would be open since it had grown late outside. So they agreed Dean would stay with them one more time as Roman and Seth cuddled on the bed Dean told them their goodnights before he passed out.


So far Seth staying with Dean had been pretty uneventful Dean for the most part stayed out at the local bar where and Seth spent his time reading or playing video games. He texted Roman when the other man wasn't busy with his daughter things in his relationship stayed pretty bad and Seth felt terrible. He had been in no hurry to apologize or try to fix things with his girlfriend. As a matter of fact his stay with Dean made him feel the complete other way. He debated if he really wanted to stay with his girlfriend at all. He cared for her but he hadn't loved her in a long time he loved Roman. Seth wanted to be with Roman wanted to have a life with the other man. Seth knew it would take a small miracle for Roman to leave if he thought he might lose his daughter but Seth hoped one day maybe they would be able to make it work. Seth wanted to call his girlfriend and tell her they needed to talk. He wanted to break up with her and get a place of his own it never felt right leading her on when his heart belonged to the other man. He decided to call her later that evening to see if he could fly out on their next set of days off. As he looked through Dean's dvd collection trying to find something to watch he heard his phone going off on the table. Seth hurried across the room and answered it without looking at who was calling.

"Hello."

Seth was surprised to hear his girlfriend on the other end of the line. It took a moment for him to find words. He wondered if she had felt the same way as him and was the first to act on it."Hi."

He heard her take a deep breath "Seth please come home we need to talk."

"I was thinking the same thing."

It was her turn to pause. "I highly doubt that."

"What are you talking about."

"Seth I don't want to tell you like this."

He felt himself getting impatient with her. "Jesus just tell me. I can't come home you know we leave tonight for Raw besides you kicked me out remember."

"I am sorry about that I don't want it to be like this."

"Just tell me."

"Seth I am pregnant."

Seth dropped the phone in his lap as he felt his heart start to speed up in his chest. He felt happy but very sad at the same time.

"What? How?"

His girlfriend laughed "Well you know how and you heard me."

"I gotta go."

She went to protest "that's all you have to say?"

"Yeah I gotta go."

Seth never heard what else she had to say he hit the end button and the phone went dead he let it drop to the floor as he collapsed against the couch. This changed everything and the one person he needed to be with he couldn't.
