A/N: a big thank you for showing love for this story, I hope you guys enjoyed it! Don't forget to stop by and read the newest two shot story, "When They First Met" and have a little fun!
Four years later:
"Daddy! Daddy! Time to wake up for Papa's birthday! Wake up!"
Dean wakes up and sees a little girl with big blue eyes and black hair whispering beside him staring at him with her big toothless grin in front of him. She was excited that it was her papa Roman's birthday and she wanted her daddy to help get things going.
"Okay princess, let me get a robe on and I will meet you downstairs, okay?" he asked as he leaned in and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Okay daddy! Don't keep me waiting!" she exclaimed as she jumped down and ran downstairs to wait for Dean.
Dean could hear Roman chuckling lightly as Dean rolled over and hugged him from behind. "You weren't suppose to hear that baby. She is gonna be heartbroken if she knows you heard her." He chuckled as he leaned in and gently kissed his ear, earning a moan.
"Careful baby boy, careful. The last time you did that, we almost didn't make it to dinner last night and trying to explain it to our daughter was almost a disaster."
Dean laughs a bit as he moves back a bit letting Roman turn on his back. Dean leans in and places a kiss on his sweet lips before looking in his eyes. "Happy Birthday baby. Love you." Then bent down and kissed him again, this time, a bit longer, but not too long."
Roman lets out a little moan as they break away, "Thank you baby boy," he whispered softly, "Now go on out of here and help babygirl with whatever she wants to do for her papa's birthday. Otherwise, we are gonna have a little princess tantrum on our hands and I don't want that right now."
"Yeah I know, never can say no to Cerina, she sure has a temper on her when she wants to." Dean said as he got up and placed a boxer and robe on as Roman sat up with the sheets covering just above his v line.
"Well," Roman playfully laughs, "She has your temper if we are honest!" Roman then turns and slids off and puts on his briefs and shirt before heading into the bathroom.
"Yeah well, she looks just like you, I don't how we lucked out like we did, but I wouldn't trade her for the world."
"Tell me about it, the fact that she ended up with both our genes is rare, but I am glad it worked out like it did. She is definitely our firecracker."
"That she is, " Dean replied as he turns and heads to the door. "I will call you when breakfast is done, until then, take a shower and relax, its your day babe, okay?"
Roman peeks out the bathroom door, "I will, or try too anyways, I'll be down when you call me…"
Dean smiles and blows him a kiss before going out and closing the door behind him, leaving Roman alone for some peace and quiet.
Roman, as he turns on the shower and strips down, recalls the day their new lives started three months after New Years.
"What are we doing here Roman?" Dean asked in confusion. Both Roman and Dean went to the park after dinner. They were suppose to go to the movies with Seth and Randy but them two told them they wanted some time alone, not wanting to tell Dean the real reason why they didn't come with them.
Roman said nothing for a moment, leading Dean to the gazebo that was decorated in white and red. White lights and red cornations with soft music playing. "Roman?" Dean asked as they stopped in it.
"Dance with me Dean." Was all Roman said as he turned around and pulled Dean closer to him as the cool crisp air gently blew by. Dean went to say something, but Roman held up his finger and placed it on his mouth to silence him. "Just dance with me for a bit Dean…" he said in a soft, but deep voice that Dean loved so much. The last three months since they reconnected, they spent every day together, even to the point that Ellsworth told them they no longer need therapy anymore. And Roman's rehab was almost complete as well. Roman was no longer relying on a walker but still experienced pain in his neck from time to time. But other than that, he was healing quite nicely and that made not only Dean happy, but Jericho as well as Dean's friends from the clinic. He still had to take it easy though and not to rush, but he felt better than he had in a while. He owed that to the fact that he found love again in Dean, which he feels helped him get better. After their last session, they went back to Dean's place and for the first time since college, they made love. They went slow, fast, sloppy, perfect, everything. They literally rediscovered themselves again in such a way that they never have before. It was the most intense lovemaking session they ever did. And it hadn't been boring. They were always trying to top their sessions, (if that was even possible).
Dean nods as he lays his head on his shoulder and started swaying back and forth to the song, "I Will Always Love You". It was their song from high school that they made love to for the first time. He couldn't believe Roman remembered after all these years. Dean looks up with tears brimming in his eyes and sees Roman smile softly at him as he leaned in and kisses his forehead. "You remembered Roman, you remembered our first song…." He trembled a bit, making Roman hold him closer.
"How could I forget the song that we made love to for the first time? That song will always be our song. I was hoping you remembered as well." He said as he stepped back and twirled Dean around, making him laugh as Roman laughed with him while bringing him back in.
"This is beautiful Roman, what is the occasion though?"
Roman cleared his throat before stepping back a bit to get down on one knee as he pulled out the black velvet box. Dean eyes went wide in shock as he watched the scene in front of him. He was literally speechless as Roman opened the box to reveal…..the ring…..and a nervous Roman looking up at him.
"Roman….?" Was all Dean could get out before Roman spoke up.
"Dean," he started even though every fiber of his being was trembling with nervousness that he hadn't experienced in years. But he wanted to do this so he continued. "Dean, when you came into my life again, I never thought I would ever love again, I wanted to hate you forever, but deep down, I knew I couldn't. You were there when I didn't want you to be, but you never gave up on my recovery or my heart. I fell in love with you all over again, even though I was afraid to take the chance again. But as the therapy went on, and the more we spent around each other, you melted my heart again. Then after Christmas and New Year's, I knew then I was hooked again. So…."
Roman's voice was breaking as Dean's tears starts to fall…."Dean, I saved this ring in hopes that one day, deep down, I would ask you to marry me, so here I am, on one knee, with this ring that I have worked so hard to get, to ask you if you would be mine forever, to be my husband, so Dean, would you marry me?"
Dean thought he was dreaming, he thought he was seeing things when he sees Roman in front of him with a ring. HIS ring…..the tears are falling more and more as Dean reached down and touched the box softly…to make sure this was real….
Roman started to panic a bit, "Dean?"
Dean then looked at Roman and smiled as he pulled Roman up to him and kisses him,….hard….after a few moments, they break apart, trying to catch their breaths as Dean finally speaks up….
"Yes…." Was all Dean said.
Roman breaths a sigh of relief as he takes the ring out and places it on Dean's finger. "Perfect fit…" he says as he brings Dean close again and kisses him again…..both smiling as they dance under the song and night sky again…..
"ROMAN!" Dean yelled as Roman got finished getting dressed in sweatpants and a tank top.
"Coming!" he yelled back as he heads out the bedroom door towards the kitchen.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ROMAN! PAPA!" both Dean and Cerina said as Roman walked in the kitchen.
Roman smiled as he walked over to both of them and kisses each of them on the forehead. "Thank you both…" he looked down and saw they had made pancakes, eggs, bacon and biscuits. "This looks so good, you make this baby girl?"
"I help make the pancakes while daddy made the other stuff." She beamed brightly as she brought up the plate of pancake with a smily face and a candle. "I hope you like it!"
Roman picks up his three year old daughter and gives her a big hug and kiss. "I love it babygirl, thank you for making this birthday the best yet."
"Hmmmhmmmm, what am I? Minced meat?" he said in a fake hurt voice that made Roman laugh as he put Cerina down and gave Dean a hug and a kiss as well.
"Thank you baby…so much for making this possible." He said as he leaned in and kissed him again.
"EWWWWWWW! No kissy!" Cerina said as she stuck her tongue out.
Dean and Roman chuckled as the break a part. "Okay babygirl, go set the table and we will get breakfast going, okay?"
Cerina smiles as she jumped down and started setting the table.
"Remember the day she was born?" Dean asked as placed Roman's arms around him.
"I do, the best day of our lives besides our wedding…." He said as they both remembered Cerina.
"She is so beautiful, isn't she Roman?" Dean asked as he picked up their newborn daughter, Cerina Jo Ambrose-Reigns, and held her close.
"Yes, she is beautiful….we made a beautiful baby girl Dean." Roman said as he leaned down and softly places a kiss on her head of black hair as Dean held her up.
I can't believe she has both our genes. How was that possible?" He asked.
"Well, I read that somehow, both our sperm somehow caught the egg at the same time. I read that it's a one in 2 million chance of that happening. We chose a good surrogate lady that was able to make that happen. It was like winning the lottery jackpot." He explained as Dean hands over their daughter to Roman to hold. "She has my hair and skin color and your eyes and nose. She is gonna be breaking some serious hearts as she gets older."
"Well, she can keep breaking hearts, cause she ain't dating until she's 50!" Dean said as Roman tries to keep from laughing as he sways Cerina to keep her sleeping.
"Dean, I know that she isn't dating until she's older, but 50?"
"Yep…50, meaning, we will be dead by that time!"
"Dean, quit being so dramatic, we don't want her to rebel, do ya?"
Dean looks at him as he sulks a bit, "Humpf"
"Dean, don't worry, she will be able to defend herself and know that I am a lawyer…I can make things disappear." He said semi serious.
"And I am a doctor, so I can castrate any boy that hurts her…" he said as he tries not to smirk at that thought.
"That's my boy!" Roman said as he goes over and sits by Dean. "We really did good Dean, and I know that we will do everything we can to protect her."
"I know, I am just a bit scared is all…" he admits as he leans over and lays his head on Roman's shoulders as he takes one of Cerina's hands around his finger. "I just want her to have a good life like we did when we were young."
Roman puts one arm around Dean, "She will, she also has grandparents that will make sure of that too." He smiles. "Speaking of grandparents…"
"Yeah, I gotta call my parents and let them know and you gotta call your mom and tell her." He said as he whips out the phone. "But first, its picture time!"
Roman chuckles as he poses for Dean to take then Roman does the same for Dean…..
"Okay Papa,daddy, all ready!" the girl said happily as they both looked at the table that was set up.
"Nice job princess" Dean said as he gets the food. Cerina gets Roman's hand and leads him to the table to sit down.
After all the food and drinks are set, Dean lights the candle on the pancake Cerina made. "Okay Roman, its birthday time!"
They both sing happy birthday as they watch Roman blows out the candle. He didn't need to make a wish, his wishes already came true. He was happy with his family and how everything turned out. He really did have a One of a Kind Love with Dean. And he wouldn't change that or their little girl for the world.
