Love Conquers All

Forgiveness

No one knew what to tell Roman, they didn't want him upset he had just woken up, but none of them wanted to lie to Roman either. Roman starred at each of them waiting for someone to start, finally his mother sat beside him on the bed and spoke.

"Roman, honey you've been in a coma for three weeks." She began gently taking his hand. "All of us have been here for you through it all, but Dean and Seth were here by your side from the first night! Both of them never left your side for the first two weeks. By the third week though, Seth unable to watch you slip away stopped staying. He'd come everyday though for most of the day, but he'd have to leave." She explained, as Sika put an arm around Seth's shoulders.

"What about Dean?" Roman asked quietly.

"He stayed, he never left your side unless we forced him to. He'd sit beside you, holding your hand talking to you. Other times he'd shave you or wash your hair. He refused to believe you weren't going to pull through!" She said, as she ran her hand through Roman's hair.

"There's more isn't there? Why is Dean so angry with you? What aren't you telling me?" Roman questioned.

"Roman, son today Dr. Richardson called all of us into her office to talk about you and your progress." Will began. "She told us...that the longer you were in your coma, the greater your chances were of having...brain damage if you woke up. So, she gave us two options, keep you comfortable here until you woke..." Will answered trailing off.

"Or take me off life support." Roman finished for him quietly, Will nodded sadly.

"Dean refused to let us take you off, he kept telling us you would wake up. He refused to even talk about it, and he walked out." Sika continued. "Roman, my boy you have to believe that we all love you very much, and whatever decision we would have made would have been what we felt was right for you!"

"It's okay dad, I get it honestly! I know none of this was easy for any of you and I'm not angry or resentful! I actually want to thank all of you for all you've done for me. I love all of you so much!" Roman answered truthfully.

"We love you too Rommie!" Eddie said, as they all hugged him. "We should go, and let you rest."

"Alright, I kind of want to talk to Deano alone anyway! Give my nieces and nephew lots of love for me and you better bring them to see me tomorrow Rollins!"

"We will Ro." Seth agreed smiling. "I love you Ro so much!" Seth said as he hugged Roman tightly.

"I know Two-Tones, I love you so much too!" Roman said.

After hugs and I love you's, everyone left. Roman laid back in his bed thinking about Dean and everything his family had told him his little brother had done for him. He smiled sighing, none of it surprised him, that was Dean! Dean would do anything for the ones he loved! What did surprise him about everything was the way Dean had attacked their family! His thoughts were interrupted by his nurse coming to check on him.

Meanwhile, as the others left the hospital, they noticed a familiar figure sitting on a bench. He was alone starring at the ground, shoulders hunched. Without hesitation they all went to him, and as they got closer they realized he was crying. Without a word Patricia sat next to him on one side, while Seth sat beside him on the other. She then pulled Dean into a hug, rubbing his head, he held onto her tightly as he continued crying.

A few minutes later Dean stopped crying, and pulled away. He sighed shakily as he rubbed his hands over his face, before he took Patricia's and Seth's hands as he spoke quietly.

"I'm so sorry." He said looking at all of them.

"We know son." Sika answered gently, the others agreed.

"I would have done the same thing for any one of you." Dean said.

"We know Dean. That's one of the many things we all love about you babe!" Seth replied, as he kissed Dean's hand.

"I...I just couldn't lose him! It scared me to think of never having him in my life anymore!"

"We know Deanie." Eddie said, as she brushed his hair off his forehead. "We all felt like that."

"I know, and I...I said so many hurtful things to all of you! I'm..."

"Dean Ambrose, you stop that right now!" Will said sternly. "We know you're sorry, and we forgive you! Now, it's time you forgave yourself. Son, you're a very passionate person, who loves with all his heart or not at all, there's no middle with you! We all know how you are and I know I speak for all of us; including Roman, when I say we wouldn't want you to change!" Will said smiling, as he put a hand on Dean's shoulder and squeezed.

"I love you all so much! You have no idea!" Dean said feeling so loved.

"Yeah, we do. Cause that's how much we all love you babe!" Seth said, as he kissed Dean.

"You better get back up there to our boy! He's probably wondering where you got to!" Will said smiling.

"Yeah, I'll see you guys tomorrow. I love you!" Dean said, as they stood and hugged.

"We love you too son!" Sika said, as they turned to leave, but Dean grabbed Seth's arm and pulled him back.

"I'll meet you at the cars!" Seth said, as they left. "You o..." Seth began, but was cut off by Dean kissing him.

"Keep our bed warm, I'll be home tonight!" Dean said smiling, as he kissed him again.

"I love you Dean." Seth said gently, as he looked into Dean's eyes.

"I love you too baby boy."

"Go to Rome, I'll be waiting when you're ready." Seth said kissing Dean again, before he pulled away and left.
