A/N This is a prompt from PunkShieldGirl. It's taken on a bit of life of it's own.


Roman sits in the entrance of the orphanage and bounces his leg. For two years now him and his husband Randy Orton had been trying to adopt a child. They kept getting turned down. The agencies said it was because they traveled to much. Roman though knew it some of it was because they where married and gay. Though the agencies couldn't list that as the reason.

Then Roman took one last chance filled out an application. After a couple weeks they where approved by St Mary's orphanage. They had been accepted to adopt two little boys. When Roman got the letter; him and Randy freaked out. Then they immediately phoned the orphanage and started to set things up.

While they where waiting for the legals to go through. They set up a room for the boys figuring it would be better to keep them together. At least for the first little bit.

The boys where brothers and young. One was named Dean and the other was named Seth. Both boys had suffered abuse at the hands of their mom. Their father was unknown. They where removed very young from their mother. Then where moved through the foster system with numerous placements. Both boys came here because there was just no where else for them to go. It was heart breaking because they where so young and people gave up on them.

Roman looks up when the door opens. A little boy who is 5 looks at them. He has curly short blond hair and piercing blue eyes. He holds his brother's hand. The 4 year old has dark brown hair and soft brown eyes. They looked like brothers but different at the same time. Both where small but the 4 year old was tiny for his age. Randy notices that they're clothing was old and obviously had seen better days. Seth was holding a stuffed bunny that was almost rags against his chest. His eyes where tear stained and he looked scared. Dean though stood there protectively in front of his brother.

Roman is aware that almost 6 months ago a family tried to separate the boys. They tried to adopt Dean and not Seth and set off a chain reaction. They returned Dean not even a week after taking him home. Since then the boys had been clinging to each other. According to the nuns they where inseparable.

Roman kneels down and smiles softly at the boys, "My name is Roman and this is Randy."

Dean looks at both of them and shakes trying to be strong but scared. "I'm not going anywhere without Seth.."

Randy looks confused, "whoa there kiddo."

Roman smiles softly, "You're both coming with us. Both of you."

Seth peeks out from Dean's side. Dean was shaking and Roman gently touches Dean's head trying to comfort him. "You are leaving this place and coming home with us." He keeps saying that gently so that Dean and Seth understand it.

Randy nods and gently kneels down looking at Seth, "who's your friend."

Seth looks frightened but speaks softly, "it's my bunny." He darts back behind Dean again.

Randy smiles at him and whispers, "he looks special."

Seth wipes at his eyes, "my mommy gave him to me."

Dean pulls Seth closer to him not trusting them yet. He is trying to keep himself between both men and Seth. Randy moves and sits on the couch. He pats the spot beside him, "come sit."

Dean nods and pulls Seth with him. Dean crawls onto the couch and his eyes go wide when Roman gently picks Seth up and puts him by Dean. Dean looks at Roman as Roman sits on the other side of Seth. They talk for 2 hours about everything. The house, their dog and their friends. Seth looks tired after awhile though and so does Dean.

Roman speaks softly, "you guys ready to go home?"

Dean looks at the men. They look nice and any place was better then this. Also him and Seth would stay together that's all he wanted. He nods and whispers, "yes."

Randy smiles softly and then speaks gently to Seth, "you too?"

Seth nods and yawns. He just wanted to be with Dean.

Randy moves and gently picks up Seth and holds him against his chest. Seth cuddles close and closes his eyes. Roman picks Dean up and Dean blinks up at Roman. Dean whispers, "I'm a big boy I can walk."

Roman smiles softly at him, "I know but sometimes it's nice to have people help us."

Dean nods and lays his head on Roman's chest. They carry the boys to the car and put them in car seats. Randy makes sure that Seth's Bunny is sat beside him in the seat and buckled up as well. By the time they get home both boys are asleep and They carry them into the bed room. The boys are tucked into bed for a nap and Randy looks at Roman.

"They're home." Randy states and Roman wraps his arms around Randy.
