A/N: This is going to be the last part of Slaughterhouse! I feel Carmen, Rhea and Buddy's story ends well here 💙 Thank you for the support as usual on this one and I hope you follow me on to the next one that I am uploading soon! :)

————————————————————————————

A few weeks of shows, phone calls and sex pass by before it's finally time for Buddy to come home. Carmen is pacing by the area he's supposed to come through. Rhea is chuckling and shaking her head.

It's extremely late. Or, early depending on how you look at it. It's 3am and Buddy told them not to wait up, let alone meet him at the airport. Carmen talked Rhea into it, though. Said she'd take full blame for it and anything he wanted to do as a result. She just wanted to surprise him.

When Buddy comes walking through the doors, Carmen gasps and runs up to him. He only just sees her and hasn't focused yet on what's happening when she jumps up into his arms. Buddy gasps and drops his bags to catch her as she wraps her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist.

Rhea chuckles and walks up. He looks at her, realizes what's happening and frowns exhaustedly.

"I told you to sleep it's late." He says with a raspy voice.

"I couldn't wait it's my fault be mad at me later just hug me." Carmen says.

Her voice is muffled as she has her face buried in the crook of his neck, kissing him over and over. Buddy chuckles and wraps both arms tightly around her. He turns his head and kisses her cheek before leaning forward and kissing Rhea.

Carmen puts her nose against Buddy's cheek, inhaling deeply. Rhea raises an eyebrow as Buddy laughs softly.

"Are you smelling my beard mate?" He asks.

"Just making sure you still smell like you and there's no Chanel number five on you." She giggles.

"That's oddly specific." Rhea laughs.

Carmen shrugs and Rhea grabs the bags Buddy dropped. They all head out to her truck with Buddy carrying Carmen. Deciding to ride home with them instead of driving just after that long flight, Buddy puts Carmen in the backseat. She grabs his shirt when he goes to shut the door.

"Sit with me." She smiles.

"Hey he's mine too you know." Rhea says from the driver's seat, looking at Carmen in the rearview.

"You've had him longer than me." She says and sticks her tongue out.

Buddy laughs and reaches into the truck to grab Rhea's arm when she throws off her seatbelt and starts to open her door. Carmen sinks down in the seat and giggles.

"Not now." He says and climbs into the back. "Besides she's not wrong."

Rhea rolls her eyes and starts the truck. She pulls out of the parking spot and starts to drive home. Carmen sinks down in the seat and rests her head on Buddy's lap.

"That's not safe princess." Buddy says as he runs his fingers through her hair.

"You'll protect me." She smiles up at him.

Buddy chuckles and holds her against him with one arm and continues stroking her hair with his other hand.

Once they're home, Carmen and Buddy had fallen asleep in the back. They're gently awoken by Rhea rubbing Carmen's cheek and Buddy's arm.

"We're home you guys." She smiles as their eyes open and they yawn in sync.

She and Carmen grab his bags and they all walk inside, greeting the dogs. Barry and Luna both excitedly greet Buddy, shoving past Carmen and Rhea.

"Even they say a month was way too long." Carmen laughs.

Buddy chuckles and yawns. Carmen follows suit and then Rhea.

"Let's get to bed like you two already should have been." Buddy says.

"But-" Carmen starts but is swiftly interrupted by Buddy.

"No buts. I'm not going anywhere for a while so I'll be at your next couple of shows. Let's go, upstairs." He says.

Carmen smiles and walks upstairs followed by Rhea and Buddy. She jumps onto the right side of the bed and pats the spot next to her, smiling at Rhea.

"You want me in the middle?" She asks.

"It's your turn to be by him." Carmen replies.

Rhea smiles and lies in the center of the bed. Buddy lies next to her and pulls her into his arms tightly. Rhea smiles and closes her eyes, resting her head on his chest. Carmen scoots close to her and wraps an arm around her too, kissing the back of her neck.

"Besides, I like when you bottom with me and you're totally enjoying it too." She whispers.

"Buddy?" Rhea whispers.

"Hmm?" He hums.

"I'm putting her over my knee tomorrow okay?" She says.

"Yep." He says.

"Hey no!" Carmen says, squeezing Rhea.

Rhea and Buddy laugh softly. 

"Goodnight Carmen." Rhea says.

"Goodnight." Carmen whispers. "I love you. Both of you."

Rhea and Buddy both whisper back.

"Love you."
