Secrets And Betrayal

Safe

After driving almost to town, without being followed Roman finally convinced Dean to pull over. As soon as they did Roman began checking Dean's shoulder, it looked bad. Dean had lost a lot of blood and was sweating, as he leaned back against the seat closing his eyes tightly.

"Dean, we need to get you to a hospital, you've lost a lot of blood!"

"I'll be...be fine Ro, it's...it's a long ways from heart baby boy!" Dean replied, smiling weakly at Roman.

"You're going to the damn hospital, I'm not going to lose you!" Roman ordered, as he started looking for something to stop the bleeding.

"There...there's rags in the glovebox." Dean said quietly, as Roman got them and held one tightly to Dean's shoulder. "Shit!" Dean said wincing at the contact, as he closed his eyes again.

"Sorry babe, but I need to apply pressure, to stop the bleeding." Roman said gently. "You're too weak to drive, switch places with me!" Roman instructed.

"What? You're just as...as bad as me Rome! You only have one arm!"

"I'm not losing blood Dean! Now move!" Roman said, Dean knew there was no use fighting with him, besides he was feeling too dizzy to drive anyway.

Roman got out quickly and went to Dean's side helping him out of the car. The movement hurt his shoulder and he groaned, Roman got him into the passengers seat. Once Dean was in, Roman got into the car too and began driving, keeping an eye on Dean who looked bad, as he leaned against the door his eyes closed again. Arriving at the hospital Roman ignored his own pain and injuries as he got Dean out and supported him as they went inside. They went to the front desk and the nurse who had been working on her computer looked at them before she spoke.

"Doctor Grant, we need you over here!" She called out to an older, male Doctor who had come out of a room, before she rushed to help them.

"What's going on?" Doctor Grant asked, as he rushed over, he looked at the two men and being on The Authority's payroll he recognized Dean. "Nurse Hayes, get me a gurney! I'll take care of the gunshot victim, Doctor Farris, I need you to take the other patient!" He instructed, as another Doctor joined them.

**Later**:

Roman sat on the edge of the bed after getting dressed, he was sore, but he'd live. He recieved mulitple cuts and bruises all over his body; only three cuts needed stitches though, all of them on his face. He had a black eye, two broken ribs and his left arm and hand were broken also. He had gotten off easy, if Dean hadn't found him when he did, he could be dead right now! He needed to see Dean, he needed to know if he was okay! When they took Dean away from him, he looked so lifeless laying on the gurney and Roman was scared shitless!

He got up and made his way slowly into the hall and looked around. He saw Doctor Grant coming out of a room and called out to him, as he made his way to him.

"Doctor Grant, my name is Roman Reigns. I came in with Dean Ambrose, the man you looked after."

"I remember, how are you?" Doctor Grant asked.

"I'm beat up, but I'll be fine." Roman answered.

"That's good to hear! I'm guessing you'd like to know about Dean?" Doctor Grant asked smiling.

"I would, yes!"

"Well, Dean's doing much better actually! We checked the wound to make sure the bullet wasn't still in it, and thankfully it wasn't and the damage to his shoulder was minimal! So, we cleaned the wound and stitched him up, before giving him some blood. Once he had the transfusion his vitals all returned to normal! He'll be in a sling for a couple of weeks, and he'll need to do some rehab, but he'll make a full recovery!" Doctor Grant explained smiling.

"He's...he's okay?" Roman asked, visibly relieved.

"Yes, I've given him some pain medication, and I just discharged him."

"Thank you Doctor Grant!" Roman said smiling, as he shook his hand, he was okay, he still had Dean! "Can I see him?"

"Of course, he's in the room behind us actually. I have to go, but you take care and feel better soon!" Doctor Grant said smiling, before he left.

Once he was gone Roman went into the room to find Dean sitting on the bed playing with the sling.

"Leave the damn thing alone Ambrose!" Roman said smiling.

"Roman!" Dean said, as he got up and met Roman halfway. "You're okay!" He said so relieved, as he held Roman close careful not to hurt him.

"So are you!" Roman said his voice barely above a whisper, as he held Dean tight, neither cared about the pain they just needed to feel the other!

"Did you call Seth?" Dean asked when the hug ended and they sat together on the bed.

"I asked my Doctor to, he'll be here soon." Roman answered quietly, as he held Dean's good hand. "What about you? Is someone coming for you?"

"Paige, she'll be here soon too actually." Dean answered.

"Paige?" Roman asked, he knew who she was and he also knew how beautiful she is!

"Don't get jealous big man, I love her like a kid sister! You're the only one for me Ro!" Dean said, as he kissed him.

"Thank you Dean for saving my life!"

"Always Ro, I'd do it again without hesitation! I...I just wish I had found out sooner! I could have stopped them and you wouldn't have gotten hurt! I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you Ro!" Dean said sadly, Roman didn't say anything instead he kissed Dean.

"You saved me Dean, that's all that matters! I don't blame you." Roman said gently.

"I have something that belongs to Ro." Dean said standing, he reached into his pocket and pulled something out. "Close your eyes baby boy!"

"Dean, what's going on?" Roman asked closing his eyes, before he felt Dean take his hand and put something on his finger.

"Open them!"

"My ring!" Roman said so happy, when Bray took it he was devestated thinking he'd never get it back! "How did..."

"I took it back from Wyatt before I found you! It belongs to you, it's a symbol of our love! I wasn't going to leave it behind!" Dean answered cutting Roman off, as he held Roman's hand.

"I love you Dean so much!" Roman said, as he stood and hugged Dean.

"I love you too Roman, more than you'll ever know!" Dean replied, before kissing him. "We...we should go, our rides are probably here. Take it easy Ro, I'll contact you soon I promise!" Dean said, before he kissed him.

"You take it easy too Dean, I mean it!"

"I promise. Now get going, I love you!" Dean said smiling sadly.

"I love you too!" Roman said kissing him one more time, before he walked out the door fighting his tears.
