coming home: June 4th, 2012

This isn't ideal. This place, these people, I don't feel in control, like I am in a car that has spun out of control. The only thing I am certain of is my ability to wrap the man walking with me around my finger. Danny Williams. Police man, but with a weakness for children that surpasses John's. Danny Williams. My new Daddy. But I don't call him that, we only just met. No papers have been signed, if that's what needs to happen here for adoption.

It doesn't change the fact that he's mine.

Reaching out, I take his hand as we walk, looking up to give him a shy smile. I can anticipate his reaction, he's an easy read for me, and the only thing that worries me now is his... partner? HE does not live alone, although he has not said much about his partner. He simply kept his promise and did what paperwork was necessary to take home. It doesn't matter. He's still mine.

"Thank you for not leaving me. Many adults just leave children behind, even if they promise not to."

"Of course you can stay," Steve replies, keeping his voice low and even as he watches her quietly, trying not to do or say anything that would cause her to believe that he's angry with Danny in any way, or inclined to yell.

"Don't worry," he says, slowly easing back to his feet. "We've definitely got the room."
