Hey guys! So realized I forgot to describe David, the Doctor, last chapter.. whoops. So for the meantime, I've decided to just focus on this story otherwise it'll be months before the next upload on anything and I'm really into Fosters right now and this story even if it's not the most popular it's the one I'm most inspired by right now.

Disclaimer: I don't own Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends or any of its characters.

ENJOY!:D


It's quiet, too quiet.

But not really cause all of them were lost in their thoughts. The three of them were currently in a private bedroom in the Children's Ward, Mac and Bloo on the bed while Frankie is in a chair next to them. All of them were wondering what was gonna happen next, but Mac was the most worried, he didn't want to leave his bestfriend and the only family's he's ever truly known. Not to say the other two weren't worried as well, how could they not be? Mac had just been through something terrible he needed to be with people who really cared about him and that might not happen. When that thought comes into his head Bloo subconsciously leans towards Mac and rests his head on his shoulder, Mac looks at him for a second before patting his hand and drifting back into thought. The door suddenly opens and the three of them look towards it startled, they see David walk in with a police officer.

"How's it going, Mac? Any pain?" David asks and they take a good look at him for the first time, he looks to be in his mid 30's, dark hair and eyes, medium build and wearing normal Doctor clothes. Mac shakes his head and winces slightly.

"A little." He admits afterwards lightly pushing Bloo's head off him.

"That's to be expected I'll page a nurse to bring some medicine. This is Officer Johnson, he's here to ask you a few questions." David walks out after that and the three of them are left alone with Officer Johnson. He looks to be in his early 40's, has red hair and stern dark blue eyes, tall build and wearing a normal police uniform.

"Mac, right? I'm Officer Johnson but you can call me Carl. It might be best if we did this alone." He says hintingly towards Bloo and Frankie who in return glare at him.

"I would prefer to have them here if that's okay?"

"Of course now then. What exactly happened here?" He starts as he sits down next to Frankie.

"My Mom kicked me in the side a couple times and I got some bruised ribs."

"And how long has this been going on?" Mac thinks for a second before answering,

"The physical stuff has been going on a few weeks but she's been really mean since Dad died."

"Mean how?" Carl leans in a little as Bloo and Frankie watch to see what Mac'll say. Bloo knows about most of it but Frankie obviously doesn't having just found out a few hours ago.

"Like some of the stuff she and Terrance would say."

"Terrance?"

"My older brother. They would say stuff like how it was my fault he died and-" He pauses making Bloo grab his hand, "and how I shouldn't have been born." Its silent for a few seconds as Officer Johnson writes some stuff down and Mac tries to recollect himself. David silently walks in and leaves the medicine on the table as Mac smiles at him gratefully and takes it, David smiles back and walks out.

"Did Terrence hurt you too?"

"It was mostly him actually, Mom has to work a lot. He would do stuff like chase me around the apartment and try to get me in trouble for stuff I didn't do."

"Yeah the guys a jerk," Bloo interjects, "Really stupid though."

"You witnessed all of this?"

"Most of it, Mac made me when he was 3 after his Dad died, and I lived there until he was 8 cause his mom made him get rid of me only he didn't! But yeah I saw a lot of that stuff, tried to stop it too."

"Tried how?"

"Umm got in the way, took some of the blame, outsmarted Terrance, not like that was hard, stuff like that."

"Okay, well that's all the questions I have."

"Excuse me?" Frankie speaks for the first time since he got there, "What happens now?" They all look at him indescribably which makes him inaudibly gulp.

"Well, now I take Mac down to the station while his mom and brother are arrested and place him in an orphanage until he gets adopted."

"WHAT!"

"NO!"

"It's not up to me, unfortunately."

"What about what Mac wants?" Frankie asks and they all turn to said boy making him shrink into the bed.

"What do you want Mac?" Carl asks gently and he doesn't even hesitate before responding.

"I want to be with Bloo and Frankie, I wanna live at Fosters."

"Very well then, Miss Francis if you would like to try and adopt Mac I don't see why that would be a problem."

"Really?" She asks hopefully to which he nods.

"Of course, contrary to popular belief the police are not here to make your life difficult. Besides after going through something as traumatic as this, the best place for a child is with someone they trust, and he clearly trusts both of you." He gets out of his chair and Frankie joins him as Mac and Bloo lightly hug and Bloo ruffles his hair making him laugh.

"Thank you so much." Frankie says as she shakes Carls' hand.

"Of course if you'll come with to the station we can get this process started."

"Can I drop these two off at Fosters first? We came on a bus and Doctor David said he was free to go as soon as we were done here."

"Of course." She gestures to the two of them as Bloo helps Mac out of the bed.

"Come on guys. Time to go home."


The three of them walk through Foster's doors as everyone around looks at them.

"I'll be back soon," Frankie says to Mac and Bloo "Will you be okay?" She addresses that part to Mac who nods, she smiles and walks back out the door.

"Where did you guys go?" Wilt asks they both look at each other and are about to answer when,

"Where is Miss Francis?" Mr. Herriman questions hopping into the room.

"Long story."

They walk into the living room alongside Wilt, Eduardo, Coco, Mr. Herriman, and Madame Foster, they all sit and Mac starts explaining.

"We just got back from the hospital, I'm okay just some bruised ribs." He says before anyone can ask. "My Mom, she kicked me, she and Terrance have been doing stuff like that a lot recently so some cops went to arrest them."

"Coco co?"

"I'm, I don't know really. Anyways, Frankie went down to the station to try and get stuff together to adopt me."

"Yes, she said she might do that." Madame Foster says as everyone looks at her.

"She called here?" Mac questions making Madame Foster nod, "Oh yessiree sounded pretty mad too! Not at you of course but your old family."

"Old? I can stay here?"

"What? Did you think we'd let you go to some orphanage? Honestly!"

"And you're okay with it?" Mac addresses Mr. Herriman as everyone else carefully watches.

"Of course Master Mac it simply wouldn't be right to have you somewhere else."

"YES!" Bloo cheers lightly jumping on Mac, "This is gonna be awesome!" Mac laughs and hugs him, he may not know how he feels about all of this but Bloo always cheers him up.

"So while you were there we decided to pick out a room for you. It's next to Frankie's and a couple doors down from these guys." Madame Foster says pointing at Bloo, Eduardo, Coco, and Wilt.

"Would you like to go see?" Mac nods and everyone starts to head up there but Mr. Herriman, who has to get back to work. The rest walk up there in silence, giving Mac time to think about everything. How did he feel about this exactly? He was defiantly glad to get out of there and to get to live with Bloo again, and the others, but it was his mom no matter what she did, that didn't change that fact. He always knew Terrance was a jerk and could get over that easily, but his Mom? She was supposed to love him unconditionally so why didn't she? Did he do something? Maybe-

Ah! He glared at Bloo who had just elbowed him gently and shook his head telling him 'no you're wrong you should have been born.' He sighs lightly, Bloo is right but still...

"Well, here we are!" Madame Foster announces making everyone jump out of their thoughts but she pays them no mind as she opens the door. Inside is a normal sized room complete with a bed, window, and dresser.

"It's not much for now, maybe Frankie can take you shopping tomorrow." Mac nods and looks at all of them.

"Thanks Madame Foster... I'd really like to be alone right now." He says making everyone nod in understanding and they start to walk out.

"Stay in here as long as you want someone'll come get you when it's dinnertime." Madame Fosters says shutting the door, Mac groans and plops down on the bed noticing the extra presence plop next to him.

"Hey Bloo."

"So how are you really?"

"You've been in my head you answer that." He sighs as buries his head in his pillow as Bloo pats him comfortingly.

"I know you're confused about your Mom but after all that stuff she did... how could you love her?"

"I know I know I don't understand either. But she's my Mom, I don't love her but I don't completely hate her I know I should but,"

"But you can't." Mac suddenly bursts into tears making Bloo jump back, Mac buries himself in Bloo and starts sobbing.

"Why?" He simply says Bloo just holds him, he doesn't know why either. He tries to think of something to say but can't which makes him frustrated, he's supposed to be there for Mac how can he do that if he can't think of anything? Mac tightens his hold making Bloo sigh. This has to be enough, for now. He then notices Mac still, he fell asleep but unlike last night Bloo will be right here when he wakes. Bloo then lays on the bed and gets comfortable he could do with some sleep too.

A few hours later Mac wakes up and tries to move but discovers Bloos arms around him, he fell asleep. Mac felt kind of bad but he really needed that, however, he still doesn't know how he feels about this but he wasn't expecting to have all the answers yet. He carefully tries to move but Bloo tightens his arms, he sighs and shoves Bloo making them both fall on the floor.

"OW! What was that for?"

"Good morning." Mac simply responses making Bloo growl and jump on him, they playfully wrestle for a few minutes before the door opens.

"Hey guys, it's dinner time," Frankie says walking into the scene "Umm.." They both quickly get off the floor and face her.

"Hey Frankie," Mac says slightly out of breath but happy, "How did it go?" At this Bloo also turns to her and both watch her expectantly.

"Fine. Your family was there though, they caused quite a scene. But everything got resolved and we got the paperwork done, now the court just needs to approve it." (AN: Forgive me I know nothing of this stuff.)

"Will they?"

"I don't see why not. Now come on, everyone's waiting for us." She says walking out the door as the other two follow her.

"Do they know anything?"

"Only what you told them." This makes Mac sigh in relief, they didn't need to know everything.

"And you won't say anything?"

"Not unless you tell me to."

"Okay. Just making sure."

"Mac, I know it doesn't feel like it right now but you can trust me."

"No I know I can it's just.."

"Just?" She prompts softly making him sigh.

"Before all this, I thought I could trust my Mom."

"... Well, here we are!" She announces walking to the dining hall making Bloo whisper.

"Whimp." She glares at him and Mac sighs walking to an empty seat with Bloo following. The dining hall is silent for a few seconds before Mr. Herriman says,

"Everyone is here, we may start eating now." At that everybody starts eating and talking in their normal groups except for Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco who have no idea what to say. How do they approach something like this? They've never had to deal with a situation like this but Mac was their friend and they'd be damned if they messed this up luckily Madame Foster did know what to do.

"Mac dear are you feeling better?" She questions making them along with Mac, Bloo, Frankie, and Mr. Herriman look at her.

"A little thanks." He politely replied before going back to silence. The rest of them exchanged glances, well all of them but Bloo who rolls his eyes as soon as he sees. Its still Mac, he's not that hard to handle. Dinner continues like this, them trying to say something but not being able to come up with anything and glancing at each other and Mac. Bloo suddenly freezes and the others are confused why until Mac slams his hands down have had enough as everyone else jumps back. Mr. Herriman is about to reprimand him when he jumps up.

"STOP! Stop with all the glances and not saying anything! Just stop! I'm fine!" He doesn't even look at them before running out and to his room leaving the rest of them in a stunned silence.


At least until Bloo jumps up and is about to go after him until Mr. Herriman stops him.

"Master Blooregard sit down! Let Master Mac stew on his own." Bloo stops and glares at him before saying,

"NO! Somethings wrong and he needs me! I won't let you tell me what to do this time!" Bloo storms off after Mac leaving the others to deal with Herriman who looks absolutely furious.

"Why I never!"

"Oh leave them alone you dumb rabbit!" She says standing up making everyone gasp, she rolls her eyes and says, "Oh please! Look they've both had a hard day, I'm surprised Mac didn't explode before this! Point is he's allowed to yell, to be mad, he just went through something no child should have to go through, so whatever he's feeling you better let him feel or I swear to god I will shove that monocle so far down your throat that you'll wish you could throw it up am I CLEAR?!" Mr. Herriman frantically nods as she sits back down and starts eating again she glares at everyone else making them do the same.

Meanwhile upstairs... Mac is pacing angrily in his room but what he's angry at he doesn't know. His Mom and brother for doing all this? The others for acting weird around him? The only one he isn't mad at right now is Bloo, strange as it sounds. He'd probably feel bad about that though, he hates being mad at Bloo. Everyone else, however, oh yeah he is defiantly mad at them and he doesn't even have a good reason well for the friends at Fosters anyways. He just hates that they're all acting awkward around him and that it will probably continue. The door suddenly opens and he looks to see Bloo walking in, they meet eyes and Mac gives him a sad smile.

"Hey Bloo."

"Hey pal. That was some show down there." Mac sighs and slides down to the floor and Bloo joins him they sit across from each other in silence for a few seconds just watching the other.

"I know." Mac finally admits but doesn't say anything else, if Bloo really wanted to he could pry his brain for more information but he won't, Mac will tell him eventually.

"So-"

"Don't say sorry. It's not your fault." Bloo says sternly but softly Mac looks down and tries to gather his thoughts.

"I'm just mad and confused and, and scared. So many things can go wrong they could get let go or I could get sent to some orphanage! For once I don't know what will happen next and it's terrifying. I shouldn't even be having to deal with this, I'm eight my biggest problem should be what's tomorrows big adventure or what's for breakfast! Not all of this, it's not fair!" He finishes breathing heavily as Bloo tries to figure out what to say.

"I know this sucks, but how do you know that stuffs gonna happen? Nothing bads gonna happen to you me and Frankie won't let it! So just focus on getting better and stop thinking about what if."

"You're right. Thanks, I'm kind of tired and my ribs are starting to hurt again think I'm gonna lay down." Mac says getting up as Bloo watches carefully, he then climbs into bed and tries to get comfortable.

"I'll get Frankie." He doesn't wait for Mac to respond before walking out he looks around for Frankie before noticing Coco.

"Coco do you know where Frankie is?"

"Coco coco co?"

"I didn't break anything!"

"Co."

"Urgh just tell me if you know where she is!"

"Coco." Without another word, Bloo runs off in the direction of the kitchen when he arrives he sees Frankie scrubbing some dishes.

"Frankie!" She jumps and drops the plate she was washing.

"Bloo!" She replies glaring at him he ignores that as he says,

"Mac said his sides hurting again."

"Ok let me just," She walks over to her purse and starts rummaging through it. "Where did I- Aha!" She takes out a pill bottle with a triumph look on her face and gets a glass of water she then starts walking upstairs as Bloo follows after her. The walk up there is quiet as neither of them have anything to say being too worried about Mac to even try to think of something. They finally arrive and Frankie opens the door they both walk in to see Mac fast asleep on his good side, they both walk over to him. Bloo quietly jumps on the bed and Frankie gently shakes him.

"Huh?" A groggy Mac says rubbing his eyes.

"Hey pal Bloo said your sides hurting, take some medicine okay?" He sits up as Frankie hands him some pills and the water. After he takes the medicine he looks down sadly.

"I'm sorry about earlier, I shouldn't have yelled." They both look at him as Frankie struggles to figure out what to say, Mac sits up and lets out a yawn then leans against Bloo who watches at him for a second before looking at Frankie again.

"Look," She starts hesitantly, looking gently at Mac who looks back her with a look no 8-year-old should have making her heartache, "This is a tense situation none of us have been through anything like it we are trying our best and we all care about you, but you're allowed to mad and confused, you probably have a lot of questions and I don't have the answers but I will try my best."

Mac pulls away from Bloo but grabs his hand and Bloo squeezes it reassuringly, Mac looks down and is silent for a few seconds as both Frankie and Bloo wait patiently. Frankie is surprised at the restraint Bloo is showing, it's like he's a different figment and in that moment she realizes just how much he cares about Mac.

"One of the things I don't understand is after all of this how can I still love my Mom." This question makes Frankie jump in surprise and she tries to think of something to say.

"Well Mac that is a difficult question to answer but I can tell you-you're not the kid to wonder this but I think it's cause she's your birth mom and even if she wasn't the best she was still your mom."

"Then how could she do something like this?" Frankie sighs and this time she's the one to look down, she didn't know how someone could do something like this, it was baffling it was something she'd never understand about humanity. After not getting an answer for a few minutes Mac exhales and goes to lay back down but Frankie stops him.

"Mac the truth is I don't know, she may have been angry about your dad but she shouldn't have taken it out on you. None of this is your fault okay?" Mac nods and lays back down as both Bloo and Frankie get up and heads towards the door.

"Night Mac."

"Night Pal."

"Night guys." Mac lets out a yawn and closes his eyes falling back asleep within seconds Frankie closes the door quietly and the two of them walk away.

"Frankie?"

"Yeah Bloo?"

"Mac will be okay right?"

"Of course, he has us."


Whoa, long chapter! And more Frankie I really love her and her relationship with Mac so she will definitely be showing up more especially with all the stuff coming up, you didn't think the arrest was the end of all of this, did you? Not be along shot we still have a lot to cover. Oh and remember that little detail about Mac not liking staying mad at Bloo? Yeah, remember that for later. Please follow and review it would mean a lot to me thanks.

BYE!:D
