Thank you so much for your love, support and friendship.

Rachel and Sebastian left the apartment, and can hear in the distance Brody yelling in pain. Who knows what Puck was doing to him. Sebastian would like to think this was the last time he would have to see or hear about Brody Weston. But, if he has learned anything from all if this,  is that Brody is psycho and won't stop. Sebastian can't let his guard down again.

Sure,  he was still angry at Rachel. Although, the circumstances of what happened and his deep love for her, he knew he could never stay mad at her. He loved her. He came close to losing her and their family. He had a commitment to Rachel and to Colton to make them work.

"Sebastian?" Rachel asked, quietly.

Sebastian was brought back to reality.  "Yes baby?" he answered, looking down into his favorite chocolate eyes.

"I am beyond sorry. " Rachel continued,  eyes brimming with tears.

Sebastian's heart broke. He didn't do well whenever Rachel or Colton cried. It was his job to make everything better. Maybe he was a loser for giving in, but he didn't care. He wanted to protect his family. He wanted things to go back to how they were before. He wanted his friends to be okay. He wanted Sam to wake up.

Sebastian held Rachel's hand, led her to a bench. He stroked her hair, and kissed her tears away. Rachel sighed. "I know our life isn't perfect, but you ARE perfect for me. I am sorry too.  I forgave you a long time ago. Brody tried to tear us apart, but we need to fight harder to make sure no one can ever take us away from each other again." He said.

"I love you, Rachel." Sebastian added.

Rachel cupped his handsome face. "I love you most. You and Colton are my World.  Let's go get our family back." Rachel replied, as she kissed him. Sebastian immediately kissed her back. They kissed for a long time,  both dominating each other's lips. Soon they pulled away for oxygen.

Sebastian smiled. "Let's Go see our son.  And maybe later, if you're good, we can maybe continue this in the privacy of our room." He said.

"Awe you're so thoughtful and romantic. " Rachel said.

Sebastian shrugged. "Nah I just don't want to make the world more jealous when I FUCK you senseless." He said.

Rachel laughed and smacked his ass. "Seriously Seb?" She said.

"Just speaking the truth, Pretty girl."

They got into their car and drove to Sebastian's parents home to see Colton. 

Minutes later......

Sebastian and Rachel arrived at his parents' home, and the minute Sebastian opened the door, Colton ran to the door, tackling Rachel.

"Mommy!! Mommy is home! I'm sorry Mommy! Please don't go away again!" Colton cried to his mom.

Rachel's heart broke. "Colton Smythe, you have nothing to be sorry about. Mommy is sorry. Mommy and Daddy are okay. I won't ever go away from you.  You and Daddy are my World. Okay?" Rachel responded, cuddling with her son. 

"Daddy I told you mommy would come back." Colton answered.

Sebastian smiled. "Yes you did. Let's head home. Curl up on the couch, popcorn, pizza and..." He said.

"Ice cream???" Colton asked, excitedly.

"Yes even ice cream." Sebastian replied,  before leaning into Rachaelwhispering, "With whipped cream and cherries." Rachel blushed. They kissed.

"Ewwww gross." Colton said, and grabbed his parents by the hand, leading to the door. "Bye gramma!"

Rachel and Sebastian couldn't help but smile. "Wow he is bossy." Rachel said. "Wonder where he gets it from?"

Sebastian and Rachel responded at the same time. "You." and laughed.

"I love you  mommy and daddy but.....you're too slow." Colton said.

"Yes, son." the parents answered,  kissing one more time. 

Later on, the three were snuggled on the California King-sized bed, watching Disney movies, eating pizza and ice cream.

Colton and Rachel fell asleep. Sebastian smiled. He kissed both of them. Wrapped his arms around them.

"Tough
Love " [AN: Tough Love from California Dreams.]

(Sebastian)
I see you wanna change me
Yeah it's for my own good
If it's true that you love me
Don't let me be misunderstood

You gotta take me as I am
Even when push comes to shove

CHORUS:

Tough love
Nobody's perfect
Sometimes it hurts
Tough love
But living without it
Would be so much worse
Tough Love (yeah)
Its all about the give and take
I'll take ya seriously
Just give me a little break
And See how good I can be

You gotta take me as I am
Even when push comes to shove
CHORUS: 

Tough love
Nobody's perfect
Sometimes it hurts
Tough love
But living without it
Would be so much worse
Oh it's gonna be all right
No, no need to fight
As long as we understand
That mistakes come with the man 
(guitar solo)

CHORUS:

Tough love
Nobody's perfect
Sometimes it hurts
Tough love
But living without it
Would be so much worse
Tough love
Nobody's perfect
Sometimes it hurts
Tough love
But living without it
Would be so much worse

Then tough love (yeah)
Tough Love

"Goodnight my loves." He whispered.

A few seconds later, Rachel and Colton answered back.

"We love you most."
