Glen then takes a breath and looks at Mark, "we still need to talk to him."

Mark nods and whispers, "Let them eat though and soon we will."

Glen nods and gets his and Mark's breakfast as Mark makes the coffee. Finally after the boys have finished breakfast, Roman and Dean head into their rooms so that Mark and Glen can talk to Seth. Seth watches and chews on his thumb, watching Glen sit by him and Mark in front on the coffee table. Mark watches Seth fidgets in nervousness and then reaches out and gently moves Seth's hand so he's no longer chewing on the nail.

Glen then speaks softly, "can you tell us what happened when you ran."

Seth looks down at his lap and speaks softly as explains what happened, why he went to the city and everything.

Mark leans back and Glen bites his lip when Seth explains what happened with Hunter and the forced oral sex. At the end of the story Seth is in tears and Glen pulls him into his lap and holds him tightly. Seth holds onto Glenn's shirt.

Mark leans back, "So you went there to help your friend Mick as well?"

Seth nods and peeks at Mark.

Mark sighs softly and then leans forward, his elbows on his knees, "Seth where that's admirable, you're only a child. I know you want to help him but how about instead me and Glenn will help him and you just be his friend."

Seth whispers, "You'll help him."

Mark nods, "yeah it sounds like he helped you by being there."

Seth smiles softly, "thank you."

Glen then speaks, "Now lets talk about this running away thing of yours."

Seth swallows and Mark nods.

Glen can't look down at Seth since he's still hiding against him, so he gently gets Seth to sit up so he can look at him, "You know Dean use to run away to when he was in trouble and hide around the house."

Mark nods, "He hid in our closet once and Glen had to crawl in after him."

Seth looks at Glen trying to imagine that.

Glen chuckles, "You were scared we were going to give up on you right?"

Seth nods.

Glen sighs, "I wasn't handling things the best and I admit that. I'm sorry Seth, I'm as much your new father as Mark and I wasn't acting it."

Seth freezes and then Glen draws him close again and holds onto him tightly, "We're not going to give up on you and I know that's going to take a long time for you to realize just like it did Roman and Dean. We need to work together though Seth. Every time you run away we'll chase you and find you but we need to try to not run away too and come and talk to us."

Seth nods and whispers, "I can try."

Glen nods and rubs Seth's back, "You're stuck with all of us."

Mark nods, "So this is a group effort," He then looks straight at Dean and Roman who are spying on them all.

Dean smirks and waves not even the least bit ashamed and Roman just nods sheepishly.

Glen chuckles softly when he looks over his shoulder at them and then shrugs, letting them come out. Dean flops by Glen and Roman on Dean's other side. Dean then plays with Seth's pant leg, "So what's the plan from here."

Seth looks confused.

Dean pats Seth's leg, "We always have a plan of action on how to fix things and move forward."

Roman nods, "Sometimes Mark or Glen writes it out as well."

Dean nods, "It makes sure that we know how to we all agreed to fix things and what we agreed to."

Mark nods and thinks, "well I think.. first plan is that when we're in trouble, or worried or scared.. or anything we talk to either me or Glen."

Seth nods and Dean pokes Seth's leg and then him and Roman nod.

"We will try not to run away," Mark states, looking at Seth who nods at him agreeing.

Glen then thinks, "We'll have to catch Seth up on school which may mean home schooling for a bit to make sure he doesn't lose this year."

Dean sulks, "He gets to stay home."

Glen eyes Dean, "You want to get up and do schooling with me for the whole day?"

Dean then makes a face, "no."

Seth settles into glens arms more and listens quietly to them.

Glen though makes Seth look at him, "That means you're going to be doing a lot of work with me to try and get you caught up."

Seth nods, "ok."

Roman then looks at Seth, "I have an idea for this plan as well."

Mark looks at Roman.

Roman then grins, "Seth has to talk at least once a day for 10 minutes to one of us. He's way too quiet."

Dean perks, "Twice a day."

Mark nods, "I like that idea."

Seth blinks as he feels Glen nod, "I have to talk for 20 minutes.."

Mark nods, "Yup it's stated and seconded."

Seth looks at Mark not certain of that plan. Mark grins at him, "You'll do fine. Last resort we sick Dean on you and he'll keep you talking for a long time."

Dean pokes Seth's knee, "I'm good at that."

Seth looks at Dean and then Mark, "what.. what if I can't."

Mark chuckles, "Seth don't over think it. There's no punishment it's just.. They want to get to know you. Just be you."

Seth nods and settles more against Glen, "Ok.."

Mark then lets the planning go and goes to get ready since he still has to work today. Glen gives Dean the remote and holds Seth still. By the time Mark leaves for work, Dean is trying to get Seth side with him against Roman in some debate. Glen is ignoring this watching the news and Seth is comfortable in Glen's lap still, trying to stay out of the argument. Mark eyes the couch and decides he likes this controlled chaos that is his family and from the amused look of Glen he does too.


Epilogue. 1 year later

Seth leaves his counsellors office, looking for Glenn. Glenn and Mark had adopted him a couple months ago . It meant that Seth was really going no where. Seth since then had started to settle into his new life. Dean and Roman treated him like he was their brother and acted like they had been together forever. Mark paid for Mick's medication but Mick still choose to live in the lot. Mick though was still his friend and confidant.

Seth looks up and his eyes go wide when he see's Johnny in the waiting room. Johnny smiles so brightly when he catches Seth as Seth jumps into Johnny's arms and hugs him. He hasn't seen Johnny since the trail where Vince, Hunter and Randy all plead guilty for reduced sentences.

Johnny's adoptive fathers, Damian Sandow and Miz smile at Seth in greeting. Seth actually liked them and he could tell Johnny did as well. Johnny's first parents gave up on him, but Miz and Damian never did. Miz was a bit of a diva but so was Johnny so it worked. Damian at the trail told Mark and Glenn not to worry that no matter what Hunter and them would never make it out of prison. Miz nodded saying his father would see to it. Seth didn't know what that means still to this day and Johnny just said his father's where going to keep them safe.

Seth looks at Johnny and Johnny looks at him, "I kept my promise. I got you out."

Seth nods and hugs his friend again, "Thank you Johnny."

Johnny nods and hugs Seth tightly.
