TRY 2 GET OFF SHARPISH. WE GOTTA TLK.

Considering how late she and Ciaran had had lunch, Gee wasn't all that surprised when the boy hadn't felt up to dinner just yet. She was also waiting for Euan to come home in case he wanted to eat. She knew he'd had the meeting with Tom, and depending on how that went she hadn't expected him home all that early. She'd also had a text from Stuart ( Read more... )

Everything still felt so weird to Ciaran. It didn't feel like home, but at the same time, he didn't miss his home either. He still wasn't feeling completely better, and sometimes, it was hard to keep his eyes open, let alone focus on looking at something. Bed felt good. It felt good being with his dad, too. He wasn't being pushed away and he wasn't ( Read more... )

Ryan had finally given the go-ahead for Ciaran’s discharge and after wrangling a week’s leave from his superiors, Euan brought the kid back to his apartment . It was obvious the lad still wasn’t well, though. He was very weak and tired, and after he nearly collapsed when they got home, Euan had to help the kid to the toilet and then to bed so he ( Read more... )

Kid's been diagnosed with something called Addison's Disease. Google it. Gonna have our hands full if you're still on board. He thinks he made you yell, but don't worry, I set him straight.

I'm heading home to hit the sack for awhile. When do you get off? Because I really fucking need to get off.

Euan was sitting at Ciaran's bedside, his head propped up tiredly on one of his hands while he slowly stroked his fingers through the kid's damp blond hair. Ciaran was curled up on his side facing Euan, asleep and hugging his sore hand with all the IVs against his chest as he slept. The paternity test results had still be a shock for the boy, ( Read more... )

KID SPIKED A FEVER & PASSED OUT ON ME. VISITING HOURS START @ 11AM. NEED U HERE @ 11.01. IT'S URGENT.

Gee really had no idea what she was supposed to say. She knew if she tried to pile on the optimism, Euan would just get pissed off with her. So she just brought him proper coffee - not the shit from the vending machines, and nicotine patches as she held his hand and just sat there quietly. Truth was she had no idea where to even start. She still ( Read more... )

It had been one fuck of a long night. In fact, to Euan's brain, he could have sworn that one night lasted as long as a week. He was sitting on one of the recliner chairs with his legs sprawled out in front of him, arms folded across his chest and slumped so far down in the seat that his chin was resting on his chest. He was watching the TV screen ( Read more... )
