Hank was ready to be released from the hospital, but the problem with that is he had no place to go. His father was in jail, both sets for Grandparents were dead, no aunts, uncles, and obviously his Mother had died in child-birth. He was looking forward to not being hit on a daily basis, however, not belonging somewhere was the hardest part to bear. He wished he had parents like Sonny and Dr. H-K, but that would be too good to be true. What he didn't know is that he was about to get a set of foster parents, that were the "poster" couple at taking care of a child, who happened to be gay.

Will was at CG2, reading some chart notes on a patient, when his Mom and Grandma Marlena came in.

Sami: Look, Will's here.

Marlena: Let's go say Hi-maybe we can sit with him, if he's not too busy for a couple of old brauds.

Sami: Speak for yourself there, Mom.

Marlena: Ok, Granny. (she says with a chuckle)

Sami: I'm done, lets just go. Oh and that's Mimi to you, Mom.

Will looks up at the pair as they near his corner booth, he closes his notes and stands to greet them.

Sami: William, what no office today?

Will: I had breakfast with Sonny here this morning, after we got the kids off. He had a meeting, and he just headed to CG for the other meeting.

Marlena: Manager meetings, I presume.

Will: You are correct, Grandma. Hey, let me get your drinks, it is the least I can do.

Sami: I will have an...

Will: If either of you have changed your usual it will ruin my day.

Marlena: Never-I want black with room.

Sami: I want Jasmine tea, splash of cream.

Will: and a yellow packet of sweetener.

Sami: You know me so well.

Will heads to got the drinks, and Marlena gets a call, she steps away to take it. As Will is bring the tray to the table, as he grabs a few goodies as well, he wonders where Marlena went.

Will: Did Grandma leave?

Sami: No, she had a call she had to take.

Will: Great, I need your opinions on something.

Sami: You really want my opinion on something?

Will smiles. After all these years, it was hard to believe that they had such a great relationship, and yet-he could surprise her.

Will: Mom-yes I want your opinion. It matter's to me what you think-it mostly always has.

Marlena comes back to the table, happy to see that her drink is there, and some treats.

Marlena: My boy-you know me so well, picking her favorite treat from the tray.

Will: So, I am trying to help find a home for Hank. Social services have been little help. They say it's because he so much older than anyone wants to foster or adopt.

Marlena: That is a shame.

Will: And we'd take him in, but we have no more room at the inn.

Sami: I could talk to Rafe, when he gets back-you know he's out of town on a case.

Will: And normally that would be ok- but, he is getting released today or tomorrow at the lasted. It will depend on what Dr. John, says.

Sami: Oh-speaking of John, guess who finally called me Grandma?

Will: What? Not Mason?

Marlena: That is wonderful, I knew that it would take sometime-he had to feel that John and Jason wouldn't leave him, first.

Sami: and Anna calls me Mimi, like the others do, it's so sweet. John's a really good Dad to them and so is Jason.

Will: And I've brought it up to them as well, but with the age differences, it would be hard. I know that from experience.

As they are talking, Adrienne comes in, sporting a new prosthetic foot. Will spotted her and excused himself and have his Mother-in-law a hug.

Will: Hey there beautiful-is that a new foot?

Adr: Yes, handsome. It's the newest model-it fits the athletic shoes better, and this one was made just for me.

Will: Wow. Maybe now I can take you dancing. (he says spinning her around)

Justin sneaks up behind them.

Justin: Not before I do. (he shakes Will's hand, and kisses Marlena's and Sami's cheek. They all have a seat at the table and continue the conversation about Hank.)

Adr: That is what I was looking to talk to you about, we (pointing between her and Justin) would like for him to come and stay with us, for as long as he needs.

Will: Are you serious?

Justin: We just got the temporary foster care license this morning. He can come straight home with us, when he's released.

Will: That is the best news I've heard all morning. You guys should come with me upstairs to tell him.

Justin: That would be perfect.

Adr: Can we go now?

Will: Of course. (to Sami and Marlena) You-two it was nice to see you both-enjoy the rest of your day.

S/M: We will-and good luck.

Sonny was finishing up the meeting at CG, when he got the call he had waited for, all day. He grabbed his keys and took off.

He arrived at his destination 20 minutes later. He was taken to a room where he paced. He was trying in the worst way to keep his anger bottled up, but he wasn't going to be easy.

They brought Lincoln in a few moments later. When Sonny laid his eyes on him, the bottle erupted and his anger spilled forward.

Sonny: DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A MAN TO BEAT ON YOUR SON? (getting right into the man's face)

Linc: You obviously came here to get something off of your chest, Mr. Horton-Kirikakis-by all means. But just let me say, you can't make me feel any worse than I do already.

Sonny: Well, those are nice words. But Lincoln, you see, the damage you set in motion, is done- he may never be the same again.

Linc: You don't get it.

Sonny: I don't get it? How can you say that?

Linc: Oh, and I guess that your parents were always fine with you being, um, who you are.

Sonny: Yes, they were fine with me being, Sonny-and with my being gay. It's not like it was a choice, it's who I am, and it's who Hank is. He's still your son, and if you honestly think about it, you still love him, don't you.

Linc: Yes, I love my child. I wasn't the one beating him, it was the drinking, it has always been my drinking. Ever since...(he looks at the ground, not wanting to finish his sentence)

Sonny: You were the one, they were your fists punching, and hands slapping, and what else were you going to say?

Linc: Look, a long time ago, my parents, had some friends, and when they would come over to our place, things would happen, and my parents just ignored it, and since then, I have been on a mission...

Sonny understands what Linc is trying to say, without really saying it. He nods in understanding.

Sonny: But, Hank is not you-he is your son. He is your flesh and blood and he needs to know that you love him and that you are always going to be there for him. You should get the help that Lucas wants to give you, by being your sponsor, and get sober for Hank and especially and more importantly for yourself.

Linc: Tell him, I will try my hardest, after I'm released I'm going to treatment.

Sonny: I will. He's being released today.

Linc: Good, where is he staying?

Sonny: I got a text on my way over here and my parents are taking him in.

Linc: That is good news. I've only met them a few times in passing, but they seemed nice.

Sonny smiles in agreement. They talk for a few minutes more and he leaves to go home.

Later at home Will is actually getting dinner ready, when Sonny comes in. He smiles when he sees Will busy in the kitchen. He takes a seat at the island.

Will: Baby, where have you been? (looking at his watch)

Sonny: I went to see Linc, and let him know what I really think of him. And I put him on notice and let him know to take the help your Dad has offered him with AA.

Will: Did you tell him about your parents taking in Hank?

Sonny: I did.

Will: Great(right to the point). How was your day, other wise?

Sonny: Good. And where are the kids, by the way? (wrinkling his brow)

Will: Noah is at meeting for a new club at school-"the meeting of the minds", Norah is at her friend Sadie's house and Vaeh is with my Mom-I think.

Sonny: And Nate?

Will: He is at John and Jason's, playing with Mason. Jason will bring him back later, when John goes in for a shift.

Sonny smiles. And he gets that look that makes Will go all sorts of red.

Will: Why are you looking at me like that? I'm trying to make dinner. We need to eat. (trying to protray innosent)

Sonny takes the knife that Will is so skillfully using, and places it on the cutting board.

Sonny: Leave this...there- while the mice are away, the cats must play...

Will: Play...(bitting his lip)

Will takes Sonny's hand and they head to their room. Once inside they lock the door out of habit. This time around there is no nonsense about the fact that they just wanted each other. Sonny is thankful, that Will had been home and changed and wasn't in a button down and a tie-lifting the shirt from his still finely chiseled body. Will is heading for Sonny's belt buckle, which makes Sonny smile.

Will: What?

Sonny: I think it's kinda hot, that when ever we realize we're really alone, we end up here.

Will: This is my favorite place to end up. (adding kisses to his chest and stomach)

Sonny: I know what you mean, baby. (kissing him back)

Falling into bed, kissing, never breaking that contact with one another. They are like a well orchestrated ballet, when it comes to making love. Neither one is ever left wanting more. Their passion was never hotter, Will is up on knees, trailing kisses along Sonny's back, as he is taking his time, to slowly make his way inside. Once he is home, it is more like a senual tango between them, never wanting to rush this feeling they created when they are together.

After they are done, Will is getting up to get dressed.

Sonny: Do you really have to go-

Will: I was making dinner, we do have kids to feed-I mean they are coming home-soon.

Sonny: I guess your right-I'm heading in for a shower and I'll be down soon.

Will: Ok. -Oh and hey-

Sonny: Yeah?

Will: We will continue this later.

Sonny (getting out of bed) I know, it's so my turn. (He says giving him the eye brows)

A day later, Adrienne and Justin bring Hank home. They show Hank, his new room, which they have decked out for him . He is wide-eyed with surprise at it.

Hank: How did you know that I'd like this stuff?

Justin: Vaeh told us. She wanted you to feel at home here, just like we do.

Adrienne: Yeah, so if there is anything we can get for you- I mean we got your things for your old house, and there is alot of new clothes, a new book bag, tons of stuff in the desk. All just for you.

Justin: We are having dinner with Will, Sonny and the kids tonight, we'd love for you to come, too. That is if your feeling up to it.

Hank: Of course I'd love too, I am just so happy to be somewhere I finally fit in.
