It's been a year since Vince stepped down as head of WWE. It was the best decision he has ever made. He got to spend more time with his family, and that's what he missed most of all. He no longer felt any hate towards his family because of something stupid. He even took trips with his wife, something that he never got to do.

Today was his grandson's first birthday. He and Linda went all out, because not only was it Noah's birthday, it was also his great grandson's first birthday as well. Going up to his daughter's house, the couple knocked and Roman answered. "Come in, you don't have to knock. It's a zoo in here and you can't hear if anyone knocks." Roman said to his grandparents. "I would hug you, but we had a bit of a mess. Kenese did not like carrots." Roman said to his grandparents.

"I can see that. Most nine month olds don't." Vince said back, patting his grandson on the back and walking out with him.

"Ro, um, can you help me? I'm being overrun." Seth said to his husband when he saw him coming back into the kitchen.

"Alright my munchkins, we need to leave daddy alone. He is already going to topple over. He doesn't need you three climbing on him." Roman said, taking Addie, Lizzy and his sister into his arms. "Better love?" Roman asked, kissing his beautiful husband.

"Much, but I blame this all on you." Seth said, waddling around.

"Why me?" Roman asked with a smile on his face.

"You couldn't keep it in your pants." Seth said back.

"How was I supposed to know you would get pregnant right after giving birth?" Roman asked.

"It's the time when you are the most fertile, everyone knows that." Seth said back.

"Well I didn't hear you complaining when I had you underneath me. In fact, I believe you were screaming my name all night." Roman replied.

Seth smiled, because that is exactly what happened. He couldn't wait to have Roman in bed. He wasn't thinking of the repercussions of having sex two months after the birth of their third daughter Kenese, but he wouldn't have it any other way. He loved being a dad, and loved being pregnant. His family was his everything.

Just then, Jey and his daughter Jodelle arrived with Jey's fiance Becky. Yes, Jey finally plucked up the courage to ask the Irish red head out on a date, and a year later, they are expecting a little one of their own. "Hey man, how is everything?" Jey asked his brother.

"Oh, good. Caught Elijah here trying to sneak cake every chance he gets." Dean said back to his brother.

Jey laughed. "He is just like you."

"Yeah, drives Renee crazy. She thanks Thomas for being the good one all the time." Dean said back, looking down at his son who was hanging off him.

"Hey Becks. How are you feeling?" Dean said, giving the woman a one armed hug since his other arm was filled with his son hanging off it like a monkey.

"Good. Big, but good." Becky smiled at her soon to be brother in law.

"Aunt Becky!" Thomas came running over to give the woman a big hug.

"Hey my little man." She bent down and picked up Dean's oldest son. "You need to stop getting so big. Soon I won't be able to lift you." Becky said to the little four year old boy. Thomas laughed.

Jey helped Becky walk out to the backyard and sat down on a chair. He couldn't believe that he actually asked Becky out on a date, and here they were a year later, getting ready to have a baby of their own and getting married in a few months. "Here, love, I got you a glass of lemonade." Jey said to his fiance.

"Aww Jey, thank you. You must have known I was eyeing up that lemonade." Becky said, taking the glass from her soon to be husband. She liked the thought of that.

"I saw you eyeing it up." Jey said, with a smile on his face.

"Have I told you how awesome you are?" Becky asked.

"Not since this morning." Jey smiled. He sat with his soon to be wife, and watched the kids running around. It really was the perfect life. He finally knew what it was like to have a family that loves him and his daughter.

"Whatcha thinking about?" Becky asked.

"How I have the perfect life with you, our children and my family." Jey told her.

Becky smiled. She knew that the twins were quiet, despite what you see on TV, the two never really interacted with anyone, and then one day out of the blue, Jey asked her out. She melted right away.

"I can't wait to make you my wife." Jey said, pulling Becky out of her thoughts.

"We don't need a piece of paper to tell me that I'm yours. I was yours the day you asked me out, and now we have a beautiful baby on the way, and we have a very beautiful young lady that I get to call mine. I am so happy for the life you have already given me, Jey." Becky said, kissing Jey. She really loved him with her whole heart.

Jey smiled at the beautiful woman beside him. She has given him everything that he has always wanted, and so much more. He just wanted to do right by her and their growing family.

Once everyone came, the party started. Vince looked around at his family, and he couldn't have been more happy. It was still growing. He was going to have even more great grandbabies to spoil, and there was nothing like spoiling them and then giving them back to their parents all hyper.

"Hey dad, whatcha doing?" Steph said to her dad.

"Oh, I am cooking burgers, hot dogs and chicken, and just watching the family play." He said looking at his daughter.

"I'm so happy that everything worked out. I missed you dad." Stephanie said, leaning into his side.

"I missed you too, baby girl. I cannot thank Roman enough that night, coming to my office and making me realize that I was throwing this all away." Vince said to his daughter.

"He's a good kid. He just wants his family together." Steph said.

"And he has it. I just wish you brother would come around. He really hates this family." Vince said to Steph.

"His loss. He has hated this family since he was a boy. I don't think there is anything we can do to change that." Steph said to her dad.

"Probably not." Vince said, flipping the food.

"Oh, I have to tell you something." Steph said, holding the plate for her father.

"And what is that?" Vince asked.

"I'm pregnant, but don't tell anyone. Hunter doesn't even know." Steph said back to her dad.

"Congrats baby girl. I'm so happy for you." Vince said, hugging his daughter.

"Although, this is going to be my last one. I'm getting too old for this pregnancy stuff." Steph said, smiling at her dad.

"Just take care of yourself. Your mother and I are always here if you need us." Vince said to his daughter.

"I know dad. Thank you." She said, kissing her dad's cheek.

Running over, Roman said "Please tell me the food is done? We are starving."

Vince laughed. "Roman Joseph, you are always hungry. Now go take these two plates to the table and make sure that they get there, and no picking." Stephanie yelled after her son. She had two plates full of food as well, and following her, Vince had two more plates full of food.

The whole family sat together and ate and talked. It was a beautiful day out, and they all sat around a huge table, passing food around, and making up plates for the younger ones. Birthdays were special in the family, more so now than they ever were. To an outsider, one would think it looked like a family reunion, when it was immediate family.

"Daddy, more of this please." Addie said to her dad. She was now six years old. Seth couldn't believe it. It was just yesterday that he was eighteen and had Addie. Now he was twenty-four and his baby was six.

"Can you finish what is on your plate first, please?" Seth asked.

"Um, I like this daddy on this." Addie pointed from one thing of food to the other.

"You are a weird child." Seth said, putting another scoop of potato salad on his daughter's plate.

He looked over and saw Roman helping Elizabeth eat with silverware. It was happening all over again. She was having just as hard of a time with it like Addie did. He caught the eye of his Samoan man. "What?" Roman asked.

"Nothing babe. I love you Ro." Seth said back, smiling.

"I love you too baby boy. More than anything." Roman said back.

He made Seth blush. It wasn't hard for him to do, Roman could always make Seth blush. Seth looked away and down at his little girl. "Open baby." Seth said, feeding her more mashed up potato salad. She gladly took it. As Seth watched her chew, he took a bite of food himself. He was now back to his old weight. He couldn't have been happier with his life. He got his job back and is working out again with Roman, Dean, Jimmy and Jey. He just wasn't allowed in the ring, and stayed home with their girls when Roman and his brothers were on the road. It was hard, but Dan said that he was in no shape to travel, and if something happened, then he couldn't be there to help.

Once the presents were opened and the food was put away, the large family all sat together out back by the fire pit. "I have something I would like to tell everyone since my whole family is here." Stephanie said to her family.

Everyone was looking at her. She couldn't help but to smile, she had her whole family here.

"Well, I got some interesting news, and no this wasn't planned. I thought I would just clarify that now." She said to everyone. "Hunter, kids, I am going to be welcoming a new baby into this family in eight months." Steph said to her family.

To say everyone was excited was an understatement. Hunter was the first one up. "Steph, are you serious?" Hunter wrapped his arms around his wife. God he loved her so much. She was truly amazing, and now she was going to give him, yet another baby.

"Yeah, Dan confirmed it two days ago. I wanted to wait until we were all together to share the news." Steph said through tears. She was so happy.

"No crying my love. You are way too beautiful to be crying." Hunter said, wiping her tears from her eyes and kissing her.

All the kids went up to her and congratulated her and Hunter. Vince and

Linda are so excited to have another grandchild.

When the party was over, everyone went home after everything was cleaned up. Roman and Seth headed to their house next door with their three girls. "Alright girls, upstairs so we can get a bath." Roman said to his three girls.

"Papa, I'm not dirty." Addie said back to her papa.

"Addie, upstairs big girl." Roman said, turning around from taking Kenese from his husband's arms.

"No Papa." Addie said back.

Roman looked at his oldest daughter. "Are you arguing with me, Addison Lee Reigns?"

"No Papa. I'm going. Papa, can I help bathe baby?" Addie asked, stopping mid step on the stairs.

Roman laughed. "Sure, but no stopping on the steps like that. Come on big girl."

Roman had his hands full. He was in the middle of giving his girls bathes when his middle daughter decided to bolt. "Elizabeth Catherine, come back here." Roman shouted from upstairs.

Seth heard what was going on. He knew Roman was having a hard time. "Ro, I think I found your naked toddler." Seth said holding his three year old.

"Daddy, no please. Down, down." Lizzy was wiggling in her daddy's arms trying to get away. She wanted to run from her daddy and papa.

"Hey, you are going to hurt daddy if you keep wiggling like that." Roman said, taking his little spitfire from Seth's arms. "Now let's get you some clothes on." Roman took the little girl to her room and got her dressed.

"Papa, Daddy, baby is pooping." Addie yelled from the nursery.

Seth laughed. "Ro, the baby is pooping." Seth said to his husband.

"Only you and Addie." Roman said as he finished up dressing his middle child. Going into the nursery, Roman got to cleaning his youngest baby when she started screaming her lungs out. "Hey baby girl, no need to scream. It's okay." Roman said, rocking his baby. She wasn't having it though.

Seth came in the room, and took his screaming daughter and rocked her and whispered sweet words to her. She eventually calmed down. "How do you do that every time?" Roman asked his husband.

"I don't know. She has always liked it when I rocked her. Plus, she just likes me." Seth said, sticking his tongue out at Roman.

"Good, now give her here so I can go give her a bath." Roman said back, taking their daughter from Seth and taking her to the bathroom.

"Papa, I'm helping!" Addie said running past her daddy to join her papa.

"Addie, why are you undressing?" Seth heard Roman say from the bathroom. "Hey, no, get out of there." Roman said to his oldest daughter.

"Have fun Ro." Seth called out, and went to their room.

After thirty minutes, Roman came in all wet. "Don't laugh." Roman said, looking at his husband.

Seth was trying so hard to not laugh. "Why would I ever laugh? What the hell happened?" Seth asked.

"I think I got more of a bath than the girls. Kenese loves to splash me apparently." Roman said back.

"She doesn't do that to me." Seth said back.

"Hmm. Well I don't want you bending down to bathe her either if I can help it." Roman said back, striping off his wet clothes. He got into bed with his husband and brought him into his arms. "I love you baby boy. I can never thank you for the life that you have given me." Roman said.

"I love you too, Ro." Seth said, curling further into his husband's chest.

The next day, Hunter and Steph were ready to head to the next show with their children. Roman was having a hard time leaving Seth, but knew that he couldn't go with them, being nine months pregnant. This was his last show for three months so he can be home with Seth and their children after Seth's had the baby. Vince, Linda and Shawn were in charge of watching Seth for Roman until he could get home in two days.

"Ro, please don't leave. I don't want you to leave me." Seth said through tears.

"Baby boy, I have to do this last show tomorrow and then I am all yours for the next three months. I will be home in two days. Plus, you are going to be super busy training the newbies at the Performance Center that you won't even know I am away." Roman said to his husband.

"I always know when you aren't here. A piece of me is missing." Seth said to his husband.

"I know baby, but I promise to be right here in two days with you, waiting for this little baby to join our family." Roman said, putting his hand on Seth's bump.

"Will our family be here?" Seth asked.

"They wouldn't miss it for the world." Roman said back.

Roman grabbed his suitcase and headed for the door when Seth broke down. Roman heard his husband crying. "Roman, I don't think he can breathe." Vince said beside the younger man.

Roman came right back, rushing over to grab his husband before he fell. Roman moved them to the couch and Roman got down in front of Seth. "Breathe baby boy. I need you to breathe for me and the baby." Roman said to Seth.

Seth shook his head. He was hyperventilating. He couldn't breathe. "Grandpa, here is my phone, call Dan. I need him and Scott." Roman said to Vince.

Vince called the doctor like his grandson said to do. He had seen both Seth and Roman go through these panic attacks several times over the past year and it never gets easier to see them going through one. Coming back into the room, "They will be right over." Vince said to his grandson.

"Sethie baby, look at me. Please look at me, Seth. I'm right here. You just need to breathe for me." Roman said, trying everything to get Seth to calm down.

Seth lurches and gags. He's going to puke.

Roman quickly grabbed something for Seth to throw up in. "Let it out baby. I got you." Roman rubbed Seth's back.

Just then, Dan and Scott came into the house and saw Roman sitting in front of Seth as he was emptying his stomach contents. "Roman, what's going on?" Dan said, going over to the two young men.

"Seth is upset that I am leaving for two days, but then I am back with him for three months. He can't breathe doc." Roman said back.

Scott moved up to sit beside Seth. "Hey Seth. I need you to calm down. You are scaring Roman. We don't want to set him off in a panic attack, do we?" Scott asked.

Seth shook his head.

"Alright, I want you to breathe deep." Scott said, looking up at Dan who was getting a syringe ready.

"What are you giving him?" Roman asked.

"Just another dose of anxiety med. It's all okay." Dan said back to his other patient.

"I don't want to leave until I know he is going to be okay." Roman said back.

"I understand, but he is going to be okay." Dan said back. "If you wait to go when he is better, then he will just go into another panic attack. So you need to go now. Scott and I will stay with him to make sure that he is okay." Dan then said to Roman.

"Doc, you want me to leave him when he is like this?" Roman asked.

"Yes. He can't keep going in and out of these attacks with the baby. He is putting too much strain on himself and the baby. We will get him to calm down and we will be in home doctors for the next two days. So you go do what you need to do, and I promise you he will be okay." Dan said back to Roman.

"I'm trusting you both to keep him safe." Roman said back to the two men.

"And you can trust us. I promise. Now go." Scott said back.

Roman walked out the door. He hated to leave Seth. He didn't want to go and do this stupid show, but he knew the sooner he got it done with, then the sooner that he could come home and be with his husband and family.

Tampa, Fl.

"You guys don't have to stay here. I'm okay. I feel good today." Seth said to Dan and Scott.

"We promised Roman that we would be here in case anything happened." Scott said back to his young patient.

"That man. I don't know what I am going to do with him." Seth said as he got lunch ready for his three girls. "Girls, lunch!" Seth yelled into this living room. All three of his little ones came out to the kitchen where the three men were talking. "Here you both go." Seth said putting a plate of food in front of Dan and Scott.

Scott laughed. "You didn't have to make lunch for us."

"I'm good at taking care of people if you haven't noticed." Seth said back. He helped Kenese eat her mashed up food.

"Are you excited to have your little one?" Dan asked.

"I am. Although I love being pregnant, and will miss it, but I have been pregnant for about two years now, with little reprieve, and I can't wait to let my body have a rest." Seth said back. He did love being pregnant. There was just something about carrying a life inside him that he and Roman created.

"That is very taxing. I am surprised you got pregnant though just two months after birth. It was a tough birth for you with Kenese." Dan said to Seth.

"It was a rough one. I remember. She got stuck in the birth canal. I don't want that again with this little one." Seth said, rubbing his stomach.

"Well from the ultrasound, this little one looks to be headed in the right direction, grant it, it doesn't turn like Kenese did." Dan said back.

"I hope not. This one seems lower though. Like it is just hanging out in my lower abdomen." Seth said.

"That's normal. It could mean that it's getting ready to come out. Your due date is in three weeks." Dan said back.

"Three weeks can't come soon enough." Seth said with a smile on his face.

Raw

Roman was in his locker room, waiting until it was time for him to cut a promo so he could be done and go back to Seth. His match got cut tonight. It was fine by him, really. He just couldn't think about anything other than getting back home with his family. 'I wonder why he hasn't picked up his phone.' Roman thought to himself. He was starting to freak out that maybe something was wrong, and that Seth couldn't answer his calls or texts.

Dean, along with his other two brothers, Jimmy and Jey came to see Roman. It was awfully quiet. "Rome?" Dean calls out, but gets no answer. The three walk into the locker room only to see Roman sitting in the corner, rocking back and forth. "Jimmy, go get dad and mom." Dean said, rushing over to his older brother.

"Hey Rome, hey, no, it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you." Dean said, putting his hands in the air.

"I want Seth. I want Seth. Where is he?" Roman was mumbling out.

"He's at home. Where we are going once we are done here tonight." Dean answered his brother.

"No no no no. Need him." Roman said.

"Rome, please, come back to me." Dean said back to his brother. Roman left out a whimper when Dean reached out for him again. "I promise I'm not going to hurt you. I just need you to come back to me." Dean said.

Just then, Hunter and Stephanie rushed into the room to see their two boys on the floor. "Dean, what happened?" Hunter asked his son.

"He was on the floor. I can't get him to snap out of this one dad." Dean said back.

"It's okay. Steph, have that shot for me?" Hunter asked his wife.

"Right here." Steph handed the needle to Hunter.

"Roman, I have your medicine here. I am going to give it to you, okay?" Hunter says to his son, but Roman knock's his dad's hand away. "Roman, stop. You need this." Hunter said to his son.

Roman knocked Hunter's hand away again, and curled up in on himself. "No, please." Roman said in a frightened voice.

"Roman, no one is going to hurt you. We just have to give you your medicine to help you get better." Hunter tried to reason with his son.

Roman shook his head. He didn't want the medicine, and he didn't want anyone except for Seth and his family. "Just want Seth and my kids." Roman whispered.

"And we will see them soon, but first I need to give you this medicine." Hunter replied. Roman wasn't having any of it. He kept knocking his father's hand out of the way. Looking at his three other boys, "Boys, I need you to hold him down so I can quickly inject this. His breathing is escalating and we don't want to send him to the hospital, it will only make this worse." Hunter said back to his other three sons.

Jey, Jimmy and Dean all hold a fighting Roman down, so their father can give the injection. "It's okay, Uce. It's almost over. You're going to feel so much better." Jimmy said to his brother.

Hunter had to pull Roman's pants down to access his thigh. That only made his son fight harder. He can only imagine what his son was thinking. "All done Roman." Hunter said, pulling his son's pants back up. "You're okay, now. I promise. The medicine is working, and everything is going to be okay. Deep breaths, here is your inhaler if you need it." Hunter said to his son. Roman tried to calm his breathing, but then threw up. He was exhausted and Hunter could tell. Hunter picked up his son and laid him on the couch with a bucket beside him. He would let his son rest and let the medicine take effect.

Stephanie went to sit with her son. She put his head on her lap and ran her fingers through his hair. "Shh, it's okay sweetheart. Momma's here, and I am not going to let anything hurt you. Go to sleep." She whispered to her son. She didn't care how old her children were, she would always be there and do what they needed her to do for them. She looked down and noticed that her son was asleep.

After Hunter cleaned his son's puke off the floor, he went over to his wife. "How is he doing?" Hunter asked.

"Sleeping. He tired himself out. His breathing is evened out. This is what he needed, Hunter. I think he is under a lot of stress and just had an anxiety attack. I think it was bound to happen." Steph said to her husband, still running her fingers through her son's hair.

"You're probably right." Hunter said. "Do you think he will be okay to go out and cut his promo tonight?" Hunter asked his wife.

"I think so, we will move it to the end of the show. Let's let him sleep." Stephanie said back.

"Mom, dad, I think I know what set him off." Jimmy came over to his parents. "He has been trying to get a hold of Seth. Roman called him fifty times and sent Seth over thirty texts, and there hasn't been a reply." Jimmy said back.

"That's not like Seth to not answer Roman." Steph said.

Hunter called Seth. He got through. He talked to his son in law and found out why he hadn't answered his son's calls or texts. When he hung up, he told his family. "He has been put on bed rest because of the baby. His anxiety is up, and Dan doesn't want to risk anything. Dan and Scott have been there the entire time. They want to make sure that Seth is taken care of. Vince and Linda, Renee and Na are there to make sure that their kids are all okay." Hunter told his family. Hunter then quickly sent Dan and Scott a text about Roman's panic attack, and told them that it was bad, and that Roman fought him.

"Well I can't wait to get back home after this. No wonder Roman is such a mess. I can only imagine what he is going through." Stephanie said back.

"I know. That is why right after Roman is done, we are leaving. I can't have him away from his family too much longer." Hunter said to his family.

The boys all leave to get ready for the show, and Hunter hangs back with Steph and their son. "I was thinking, we made a record profit last year of well over a billion dollars, and we were already a billion dollar company before that. I think everyone that has a family should be given a bus to travel in so their family can come along if they choose." Hunter said to his wife.

"That is such a great idea. I know Seth is itching to get back out on the road, and with the schedules now, one house show a weekend, and they only need to appear on Smackdown, since that is the show that our boys were drafted too. I like that. They can still go home, and Roman and Seth can still have their appointments with Dan and Scott, and Roman with Steve in PT. I think that this will be good for them." Stephanie said back to her husband.

"It's final then." Hunter said back.

'Bring him into the office as soon as possible or we can do a session at the house when you all get home. Up to you.' Scott texted back to Hunter.

'Sooner the better I think. He fought me the whole time. Had to have his brothers hold him down. He then passed out.' Hunter typed out.

'Dan and I will see you when you get back.' Scott replied.

"Dan and Scott are going to see Roman when we get home. They didn't like that he fought me during his panic attack." Hunter told his wife.

"I think that is a good idea." Steph said, continuing to run her fingers through her son's hair.

Later that night, it was Roman's turn to go out for his promo. "Mom, dad, I didn't read anything that you wanted me to say." Roman said back to his parents.

"Just go out there and tell the world the truth baby." Steph said to her oldest son.

Roman nodded his head, and went out and faced the crowd. "Hi y'all. I was told to come out here and cut a promo, saying something about why I won't be around for the next three months, but I am going to be real with you instead. It's true, I won't be here for the next three months, and you all have the right to know the truth." Roman took a deep breath, and continued. "For the last three years, I have been married to the most amazing man, and he has given me everything I could have ever wanted in life. My husband, most of you know him, is Seth Rollins." Roman said and the crowd went nuts, cheering and chanting Seth's name. It made Roman smile. "Together we have three beautiful girls. Seth and I are expecting another little one any day now, and this is the reason that I will be gone for the next few months. I'm going to take some time and be with my growing family, and as much as I love to come out here in front of all of you every week, I want to be there for my family. Seth has put his career on hold to give me the perfect family and it's time I am there for him. So thank you for supporting us, and we will see you in three months. Thank you." Roman ended his promo. The fans chanted words of Congratulations as Roman exited the ring and made his way up the ramp. He stopped and waved to the crowd one last time. Now it was finally time to go home.

Tampa, Fl.

It has been a long two days without Roman. Seth's anxiety was up, and there was nothing that was easing it. He sat in the living room, watching his girls playing, when he had sudden pain in his abdomen. "Help." Seth called out, and everyone came rushing in.

"Seth, what's wrong?" Dan asked the young man.

"I'm having sharp pain. It hurts Dan. It's too soon for the baby to come and Ro isn't home yet." Seth said back.

"The baby can come anytime it wants, and there is nothing we can do to stop it, but I want you to be in bed." Dan said back.

"What? I can't be in bed. I have three girls who need me." Seth said, clutching his stomach again.

"You aren't going to help anyone if you are rushed to the office. Now, I am putting you on bed rest until this little one is ready to come out. Scott, follow me." Dan said. He helped Seth up to his room that he shares with Roman. Dan gently helps Seth into bed. "Okay, I need to see what is going on. Seth, I need you to take your pants off so I can get a look to see if you are in labor." Dan said back.

Seth took his pants off, and laid back on the bed. Dan examined him. "Anything?" Seth asked.

"No. You are not in labor... yet. I believe because your anxiety is high, that it is causing you pain. The baby can tell. So I need you to relax and get some sleep. Your girls are taken care of, and we are here as well. We will be back in to check on you." Dan said back to Seth.

Seth nodded his head. "Thank you for all that you are doing." Seth said back to the two doctors.

"It's no problem. We are here to help. Scott and I will be back then. For now, sleep." Dan said back.

Seth did just that. When he woke, he had slept for hours. Raw would be starting soon, and he couldn't wait. He was excited to see what everyone would be doing on the show. He really thought he would have heard from Roman, but he was probably busy, and so he would call him when the show was over.

Coming into the room, Scott said "So apparently Roman has been trying to get a hold of you all day. Here, Hunter is on the phone." Scott handed Seth the phone to speak to his father in law.

"Hello?" Seth said.

"Where have you been? Is everything okay? Roman has been trying to get a hold of you all day." Hunter replied.

"I'm not doing so well. I am on bed rest and have been sleeping on and off all day. My anxiety is way up and it's causing me pain with the baby. I am so sorry. I forgot my phone downstairs." Seth said back. Missing Roman's calls and probably texts was now killing him. How could he have been so stupid.

"It's okay. Just take care of yourself and we will be home early tomorrow morning." Hunter said back.

The two hung up and Seth was a mess. 'How fucking dumb of me to not have my phone on me. I knew Ro would try to reach me and yet, I ignored him. I can only imagine how hurt he feels.' Seth thought to himself.

Standing there, Scott could see that Seth's anxiety was picking up again. "Seth, look at me. Roman is going to be okay. He isn't going to be mad at you. He will understand when we tell him what was going on, okay. I just need you to breathe."

Seth was crying. "He needed me and I wasn't there for him." Seth said back through his tears.

"He was going through his own issues, Seth. It would not have done you well to have talked to him. He would have set off another anxiety attack with you, and you don't need that with being nine months pregnant." Scott said back.

Seth looked up at the doctor. "Did Ro have a panic attack?"

"Yes, and a really bad one. It would have caused you more trouble than you need. You have to think of this baby too." Scott said back.

"But he had one because he needed to talk to me and I wasn't there to answer. It's all my fault." Seth cried even more.

"No it's not. I believe he was going to have one either way. You two can't be separated for so long. It's weird how attuned you two are to each other. I would call it soulmates, one can't be without the other for a long period of time, and especially now when you are due to have a baby any day." Scott said back.

"I can't be without him. I need him. Does that make me pathetic?" Seth asked his doctor.

"No Seth, that doesn't make you pathetic. That makes you in love with someone." Scott said back. "Soulmates." Scott added.

"Addie keeps looking out for him." Seth said back.

"Roman and Addie have a special connection. They are attuned just as much as you and Roman are only with Addie, Roman has a protective side to his first child. He would do anything to make sure she was okay. Man I hate to be the guy that wants to date your oldest child. Roman may actually scare the kid to death." Scott said back to his patient.

"You think so?" Seth asked.

"I do. He shields her from the slightest sound that he thinks might harm her. He is like that with Lizzy and Kenese, but Addie was his first. I believe because she came from you and because she was conceived through rape, that he feels that it's his job to make sure that nothing ever happens to her again, or he is going to have a say in how it is resolved, and I don't think any of us will like that outcome, and the same goes for you." Scott said back.

"Ro will do anything for us, huh?" Seth said back.

"Yes. He will allow himself to go through whatever harm there is, if it means that you and your children are safe." Scott said.

"I don't want him to get hurt because of me." Seth said back.

"I don't think you have an option. It's his way of protecting you and the family you two have created." Scott looked at the younger man. "Think of it this way, Roman is the alpha. It's his job to protect what is his. You are the omega. Your job is to protect your kids, and wanting to protect your alpha, but sometimes, you have to let your alpha do the protecting of his pack while you protect your family." Scott said back.

Seth narrowed his eyes at Scott. "Did you just relate us to werewolves?"

"I did. Humor me, I am reading this weird book I picked up at the bookstore that has to do with werewolves." Scott laughed.

"Oh god, just when I thought I heard it all." Seth laughed back.

"Well now you have." Scott said with a smile.

"Wait until I tell Ro that you compared his family to werewolves." Seth said. "He is going to love you even more." Seth added.

"Oh please, his bark is worse than his bite. He is a puppy." Scott said.

Both men laughed. Scott stayed with Seth for a little more until the younger man fell asleep. Scott let him sleep and went downstairs. "He's out." Scott says to his brother.

"Good. That boy needs his rest. Everyone else went to bed as well. Now we wait for the others to get back. We need to have that discussion with Roman." Dan said back. "You know Roman fought his father tonight when Hunter tried to give him a dose of his medicine." Dan said back.

"Yeah, you started to tell me. What happened for him to go that far into his head?" Scott asked his brother.

"I'm thinking Seth, and not being able to reach him. I could be wrong, he never got violent before." Dan said back.

"I agree. I think they are soulmates, Dan." Scott told his brother.

The two brothers sat together coming up with a game plan as to how to tackle what set Roman off to the point that he fought his father. He has never been like that and they couldn't have him becoming this way with Seth and the kids around. Just then, they heard car doors closing and people walking up to the house. "Welcome back." Scott and Dan said to the family.

"Oh it's good to be home." Jimmy said, sitting his bag by the door.

Roman though dropped his bag and immediately went up stairs. Dan, Scott and Hunter followed the Samoan. Roman went and quietly opened the one door and saw both Addie and Lizzy sleeping. He closed it and opened the door across from it and he saw his other little girl Kenese asleep and walked down the hall further to the room that he and Seth share. "Hey baby boy." Roman said, waking Seth up.

"Ro? You're home." Seth said, still waking up.

"I am. I missed you so much. I tried to text and call you." Roman said to his husband.

"I was put on bed rest because my anxiety is high and it was causing harm to the baby. I left my phone downstairs by accident. I'm so sorry Ro." Seth said, burying himself deeper into Roman's embrace.

"It's okay. I thought something happened. I'm glad you are doing better." Roman said back.

"I am now that you are here with us. The girls missed you too." Seth said back.

"And I missed them so much. I did happen to snag some shirts for them, although they will probably have to grow into them." Roman said.

Seth smiled. He loved his husband so much. "So, I heard you had an anxiety attack tonight, and it was bad." Seth said, looking up at Roman.

"No need to worry, I am okay." Roman said back.

"But I do worry." Seth said.

Roman kissed Seth. "No need to. I'm home now. It's okay." Roman told Seth.

Coming into the room, Hunter said to his son "Roman, I need you to come and talk to Dan and Scott."

Roman looked up, but his grip on Seth got tighter. "About what?" Roman asked.

"You know about what." Hunter said back.

"I'm fine. I have a dose of medicine in me and I'm home." Roman said back, getting a little defensive.

Seth took notice of the defensive tone in Roman's voice, and noticed that Roman's hold on him had gotten tighter. "Ro, baby, it's okay. Go talk to them. I will be right here when you get back." Seth said to his husband.

"I don't want to go. I'm fine. They want to take me away from you." Roman said back.

"No baby, they don't. They just want to talk to you, and then you can come right back here with me and we can go to sleep together." Seth said back. He isn't sure why Roman thinks that Dan and Scott want to take him away. Looking Roman in the eyes, he says "Hunter, he is in his head again, I can see it in his eyes."

Hunter comes over to Roman. "Hey, please let go of Seth and let's just go to the living room and we can talk to Dan and Scott together. Would that make you feel better?" Hunter asked his oldest son.

"I said I am fine. I want to be with Seth." Roman said back, not too happily.

"Let go of him, Roman. You are gripping him too tight." Hunter said to Roman.

"Just leave us." Roman said back. He was trying to shield Seth.

"Roman, I can't do that. I need you to come with me. Seth needs to rest for a bit." Hunter said back.

Dan and Scott could hear everything that was being said. "Hunter, can I talk to you?" Scott asked.

Hunter looked back to his son and then went out to the hall. "Did Roman fully come out of his attack earlier this evening?" Scott asked his patient's father.

"He tired himself out and passed out. I laid him down and Steph and I were with him all night. We did wake him up to go out and talk to the crowd. He seemed fine when he was out there, although beforehand, he was a little nervous that he hadn't read the script or anything and we told him to go out and tell the truth and he did. He was great." Hunter replied.

"I don't believe he fully came out of that space in his head. I think he is a wreck and the longer he stays there, the harder it's going to be to get him out." Scott said back.

"He was never this defensive before." Hunter said.

"I think he is freaking out, being away from Seth while Seth is pregnant. I was talking to Seth earlier about this. I told Seth that Roman and Seth cannot be separated for long amounts of time because they are what we call soulmates. It's very rare, but I think that's what we are dealing with. Seth went downhill after Roman left, and so did Roman. It's a very touchy thing and Roman takes protectiviness to a whole new level. That is what we are dealing with. He thought something was terribly wrong with Seth, and freaked out to the point that he couldn't come out of his headspace." Scott said back. "So we need to separate them before Roman gets too possessive, and he will. He thinks he is helping Seth because he thinks that something is wrong with Seth because he didn't answer when Roman tried to reach him. Bring his kids into this yet, he could end up accidentally hurting someone." Scott replied.

"So what do we do?" Hunter asked.

"We get Roman into another room or house and separate him from his family until we can get him back. It's going to be tough for him, but it's what needs to happen." Scott said.

"He won't like that, especially with his baby due any day." Hunter replied.

"I realize that, but we need that one on one with him, and he is distracted." Scott said back.

"What if Seth goes into labor and Roman isn't back?" Hunter asked.

"He can see Seth and the baby, but he can't be around them." Dan said this time.

"I feel like we are punishing him." Hunter said to the two doctors.

"We don't want it to feel that way, we just want to help him. No harm is going to come to him. I promise, and who knows, it may only take a couple of hours to bring him back." Scott said.

"I will get my boys to get him. Use my house next door." Hunter said.

"No need. I have a sedative to knock him out. Less fighting that way. We will need someone to get him over there though." Dan said back.

Going back into the room, Scott sits on the bed with his patients. "How are my two favorite people?" Scott asked.

Roman pulled Seth further into his arms and into his chest. What do you want?" Roman asked.

"Just here to talk. You came into the house and came right up here. I haven't seen you in a few days." Scott said back to his patient.

"I don't have anything to say." Roman put his face in Seth's hair.

Scott looked at his brother who walked up behind Roman. "Well, how was Raw? I saw your spot on the show last night." Scott said back to the man.

"I wouldn't know. I slept through the whole show." Roman said. Just then, Roman felt a needle pierce his skin, and just like that it was done. Roman moved Seth and cradled his husband to him, to keep him away from whatever was trying to hurt them. "What the fuck?" Roman said, and tried to hit whatever hurt him. He saw Dan. "Doc?"

"Roman, I need you to get off Seth. You are going to hurt him and the baby." Dan said to his young patient.

"Get out. Leave us alone." Roman said back.

"I can't do that. You know I can't do that. I'm here to help you and Seth, and right now you are hurting him." Dan said.

"What did you do to me?" Roman demanded.

"I gave you something to go to sleep for a bit." Dan said back.

"You're trying to take me away from my family." Roman said in almost a growl-like voice.

"We have to take you somewhere to help you. You're not in your right frame of mind right now Roman. Please let us help you." Dan said back.

"No!" Roman yelled.

"Ro, I need to get up. I don't feel so good." Seth said to his husband.

"If I let you up, they can hurt you." Roman said back to Seth.

"They won't hurt me, Ro or us. I promise." Seth said to his husband.

Seth slipped out from Roman's embrace and sat on the bed. He turned to look at his husband. He could see Roman getting sleepy. "Stop fighting it baby. Go to sleep. Everything will be okay." Seth said, playing with Roman's hair.

"Please don't let them take me anywhere." Roman said in a sleepy voice. He was trying to fight the drug but was losing.

After another minute, Roman was out cold. Seth looked down and thought he looked peaceful. "Take him, and do what you need to do to get him out of this place that he is in. Just take it easy on him. He doesn't understand." Seth said to Dan and Scott.

"He's going to be okay Seth. I promise. We are going to be next door. I am going to come over every hour to make sure that you are doing okay." Dan said back to the young man.

Hunter came over and picked up his son. He looked at Seth, "He's in good hands Seth. Trust them to bring him back." Hunter said to his son in law.

"I know and I do." Seth said through tears. He needed Roman back before this baby decided to make their entrance into this world.
