Sands didn't really feel like making the snide remarks he usually make when Doctor Ray came into his room. He scowled further when he saw Emma follow him. "Why is she here?" he asked dully.

"You know why she is here Sheldon," Doctor Ray answered clearly as in the mood for this as Sands was.

Before any of them had the chance to speak again Emma began to talk, "I'm here so you me and Doctor Ray can discuss this new arrangement you told him about last night."

"What is there to discuss it seems straight forward enough to me. It's the best all round you get rid of me and I get rid of you win, win, a perfect balance," Sands said coolly.

"Nothing in this world is straight forward surely you know that by now," Doctor Ray answered.

"Oh I know it…I know it all to well," he hissed. Doctor Ray watched him wondering if he was going to say anything further but it soon became apparent that he wasn't. "Why don't we just skip the apparent pleasantries and get to the point of this social gathering, what is going to happen when I leave here," he said curtly his short patience reaching an end.

"Doctor Ray will give you a last check up before you go. If the check up goes well then you will be allowed out but Doctor Ray and I will come round to speak to you and the person you are living for. You will be required to come back to the hospital every few months. Does that all sound alright to you Sheldon?" Emma asked.

"Don't really have a choice do I?" Sands snapped.

"Oh but you do," she said shrugging.

"Really?" he asked his tone brightening very slightly.

"Any other choice simply means that you wont get out but yes, yes you do have a choice," Sands just scowled at her making a point not to return a smile she had just for him.

"So are we going with that then?" Emma asked seeing his face a few seconds ago.

"Yeah," Sands said dully although inside he was excited about going to live with Jason

"Excellent then I'll leave you both too it," Emma said nodding to both of them as she left. She was glad to see things were finally starting to work in Sand's favour. She just hoped things worked out for him. He really was the sort of boy who you just wanted things to work out for him. What upset her was she more than likely saw Sands as the one thing he never wanted to be seen as, a poor little boy that everyone should feel sorry for.

"So long before I actually get out?" Sands asked his patience running out.

"That fed up with us? You're pretty much ready to go as soon as I finish here, providing all goes well here, that is " he said the slight smile in his tone returning.

Sands stayed silent through the rest of the exam hoping that everything would go well so that he could get the hell out of this hospital but even better go home to Ryan.

"The medication seems to be working well. I'll just run you off a few prescriptions I'll be back in a moment," he said. "There you go simply wait in the shop they will last a long time," Doctor Ray said as he handed the prescriptions to Sands.

"So can I go now?" Sands asked.

"Yes you can," Doctor Ray side smiling slightly at the sparkle return slightly in her eyes.

Sands got dressed and packed up his few minimal possessions.

"One last thing though," Doctor Ray said as he scanned the details Sands had given him about where he was going to be seeing.

"What?" Sands asked irritably he just wanted to get out of there.

"I'll be swinging by your new digs at 10am Tuesday, I'll see you then," Doctor Ray said.

"Can't wait," Sands said dully as he walked out the hospital and into the cafeteria to meet Jason. Doctor Ray smiled slightly on some strange level part of him was going to miss the regular banter he had with Sands each day.

"Come on then lets bust the hell outta this joint," Ryan said as Sands came towards him.

Sands smiled and kissed him. "Lets rock and roll," he said as they walked out the hospital and into the street.
